6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.760
<v Speaker 2>You're back in hour two of The Dan Caplis Show,

7
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 2>and no I am not Dan Kaplis. You're listening to Weld,

8
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Sheriff Steve Reims. I'm honored to be able to

9
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.760
<v Speaker 2>guest host this wonderful show, one that I am a

10
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 2>big fan of. I love listening to Dan and Ryan

11
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>before him any day I can. In law enforcement, sometimes

12
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>your days are a little unpredictable, but I do spend

13
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time in a car, and so that

14
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>gives me an opportunity to listen to some of the

15
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 2>best talk radio in the nation, I think right here

16
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.840
<v Speaker 2>in Colorado. So we had a little bit of time

17
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 2>in this first segment that I want to get to

18
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>some of the callers. But if we want to load

19
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 2>the line, the numbers three oh three seven one, three eight,

20
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 2>two five five. You can also also text in at

21
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 2>five seven seven three nine. Just start your text with

22
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Dan so I know it's aimed at me or Dan

23
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 2>in any other day. But we have a caller from Pueblo.

24
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I think he's been waiting the longest.

25
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 3>Matt, Yes, sir, thank you, Sheriff Steve, appreciate the opportunity.

26
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 4>Just one thing. It's just near and.

27
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Dear to my heart and kind of took a little

28
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 3>issue with what the congresswoman said. But the current SB

29
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 3>twenty five zor iSER A three.

30
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 4>I think it's more important that we educate people about

31
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 4>the Colorado Constitution. At the federal level, the second amendment

32
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 4>is that the federal government shall make no law. But

33
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 4>I believe it's an Article two, section thirteen of the

34
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 4>state Constitution. It says that the right of no person

35
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 4>to keep in bare arms in defense of her home, person,

36
00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 4>or property paraphrasing flightly shall be called into question. The

37
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.280
<v Speaker 4>sbive it definitely does.

38
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>It definitely calls that into question.

39
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't it exactly?

40
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 4>And the taxes if you go back to Article one,

41
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 4>section three, I believe the inalienable right to acquire property.

42
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 4>Now you're you're basically putting a poll tax right on

43
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 4>gun and ammunition to exercise our right. So at the

44
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 4>federal level, I think it should be more of a

45
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 4>fourteenth Amendment issue that protects US from the states. They

46
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 4>do have ninth to tenth Amendment rights, but it's already

47
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 4>in our Constitution that guns and defense are inalienable. Right,

48
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, my dog, that's all right.

49
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 2>And Dodd's passionate about the Second Amendment too, so that's okay.

50
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>So Matt, I couldn't agree with you more. I do

51
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>have a question for you, though, being done in Publuo,

52
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what's the tone of the community down there?

53
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know Weld County thinks this bill stinks,

54
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 2>and I can I think I can even speak for

55
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 2>that on on the basis of a lot of Democrats

56
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>that don't support this bill. Pablo is a more Democrat

57
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 2>area than Weld. But what are your neighbors saying, What

58
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>do your friends saying? What do they think of this bill?

59
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, all the.

60
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 4>People I know and associate with agree, and I'm encouraging

61
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 4>them to look at it at the cot at the

62
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 4>state level as well. Yeah, but you know, clearly everybody

63
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 4>agrees there's no standing under the Second Amendment for sus.

64
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 4>This where I'm at, honestly, it's I also since i've

65
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 4>I've only been here about six years myself, since I

66
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 4>got transferred from Texas.

67
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I know the feeling here, so.

68
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm still going through a little bit of culture shock.

69
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 4>But most of them, said, most of the folks I know,

70
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 4>even like you said, yet the Democrats as well understand

71
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 4>how important this is.

72
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, Matt, I moved here from Texas and nineteen ninety five,

73
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>and when I moved to Colorado, I thought, uh, Colorado

74
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 2>was very much like Texas, but with a better view,

75
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and that has definitely changed over the years. The view

76
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>is still nice well, as long as you look towards

77
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 2>the mountains. If you look towards downtown Denver, it's awful

78
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>at this point. But they yeah, no, it's You've got

79
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 2>a great view down there too. But Matt, we got

80
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>to keep fighting the fight. This bill's not over yet.

81
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the call in, and you know you keep

82
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>rallying the troops down there. I tell you what, Emailing

83
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 2>and calling the governor's office and urging him to veto

84
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>this bill is probably our best bet at this point.

85
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 2>But thanks for listening, and get your dog on the

86
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>phone too.

87
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Good job.

88
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Share That sounds good, Thank you, sir. So you know

89
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I think statewide. There's there's going to be a pushback

90
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>to this bill. We know it's probably going to get

91
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's probably going to be some kind of

92
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 2>lawsuit filed. In fact, we may have a guest on

93
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and Ian Escalante with the Rocky Mountain gun owners

94
00:04:55.319 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 2>that's planning to do just that. But you know, it

95
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>ever hurts for your governor to hear from you, and

96
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>whether that's you're a Democrat voter, you're a Republican voter,

97
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>those calls, those those messages, they do matter, and when

98
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 2>those start stacking up, you know, that gets sometimes that

99
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>does get the needle moved. I'm not saying that it's

100
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 2>going to be successful with this particular issue, but it's

101
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>about all we got left. So you can't leave you

102
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 2>can't leave that strategy on the table. We have another

103
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>caller on the line, Jennifer from Denver.

104
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 5>What do you got to say, Jim, Hey, sure, I

105
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 5>was at the World County meeting the first one, okay,

106
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 5>and I was also at the Douglas County one, and

107
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 5>I have some observations between the two counties.

108
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, tell me what you saw.

109
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, first of all, I saw people voting in circles

110
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 5>and circles and circles. But that's another matter. Well, in

111
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 5>Weld County, you know, it was clear that the people

112
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 5>that are reasonable Republicans that want you know, less government,

113
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 5>less taxation and don't go on the crazy bandwagon, we're

114
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 5>definitely I felt like the dominant voice of the meeting,

115
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 5>and no wonder Weld County is being attacked by the

116
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 5>state GOP.

117
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Well it's kind of ironic, yeah.

118
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 5>I mean, but the contrast was really interesting in Douglas County.

119
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 5>And the Douglas County meeting was before the Well County run.

120
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 5>And in Douglas County they ran a slate of.

121
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 6>What I will call the.

122
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 5>Far right because I don't like the name calling and

123
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 5>all of that, the.

124
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 6>Very far right.

125
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 5>They ran a whole slate. Only two of those on

126
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 5>the slate got elected. So the other two possions they

127
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 5>were more of the reasonable. You know, I guess you

128
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:42.199
<v Speaker 5>can call them rhinos or what. But it was kind

129
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 5>of an interesting contrast to Weld County.

130
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 6>When I was at welld.

131
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 5>County, I mean, I just felt at ease. I felt

132
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 5>like people reasonable, you could talk about things, except for

133
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.639
<v Speaker 5>Lorie saying trotting around and you know, making grand statements

134
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 5>and all.

135
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll leave it to that. She's a candidate for GEOP,

136
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>for the state GOP chairperson now, so she didn't an

137
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.519
<v Speaker 2>she didn't announce it that that first meeting, but I

138
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 2>guess she's announced since then, and she was a candidate

139
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 2>by the time we had our second election or second meeting,

140
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.079
<v Speaker 2>but she didn't show for that one.

141
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.319
<v Speaker 5>Well, some people just want to be a.

142
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Name, right, Well, she's looking for a job.

143
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 5>So that's office. You can't get elected here, let's run

144
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.399
<v Speaker 5>for the state, right, great.

145
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, I appreciate the feedback.

146
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 5>Oh, go ahead, Yeah, on SB twenty five zero Z three.

147
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 5>Got a question if that passes, which it will probably

148
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 5>go to the court to YadA YadA YadA.

149
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.519
<v Speaker 6>Hopefully it does, but.

150
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 5>They probably won't set a start dating until September.

151
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 3>Is that correct?

152
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 2>So it's sept first. I think September one, if I'm

153
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 2>not mistaken, But yeah, it's in September. You know, there's

154
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 2>no way this can all get into places.

155
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 5>Can I'll go out and buy our AR fifteens and whatnot.

156
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Correct, you can buy anything up until the point that

157
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 2>that bill is enacted, and you'll have to follow the

158
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>current laws, which requires still a background check in a

159
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>three day way. This would be on top of that.

160
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so what's to prevent, you know, a run on

161
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 5>people going and buying these guns? I mean I might

162
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 5>even go buy one, not because I necessarily have a

163
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 5>youth for it, but just because.

164
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 6>It's my right to own it.

165
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, so you hit the nail on the head. And

166
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 2>I think Democrats are the best gun salesman when they

167
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 2>start running this kind of legislation because it makes people

168
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>really want to exercise their Second Amendment rights. And Jen,

169
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 2>I I appreciate you calling in. We got another caller

170
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>to get to. I think we have Kevin from Boulder

171
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 2>on the line. He says he's got a comment about

172
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 2>the FBI. Kevin, are you with us?

173
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm here, Kevin.

174
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>What's your comment? We just have a few minutes, so

175
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll have to ask you to keep it a little brief.

176
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 2>But what do you got? What's what do you? What

177
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 2>are your comments about the FBI?

178
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 7>Would you say that the FBI is a national police force?

179
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I would characterize the FBI as a

180
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>national police force. Now, I think there are people that

181
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.399
<v Speaker 2>do characterize them as a national police force, but I

182
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 2>think their powers are are limited in scope. I don't

183
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 2>think they can enforce a lot of what you see

184
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.600
<v Speaker 2>local law enforcement dealing with. They have a narrower focus.

185
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:14.120
<v Speaker 2>But you know, arguments have been made the other way.

186
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 7>The reason I ask, of course, is that your opinion

187
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 7>or are you speaking legally or constitutionally?

188
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess both. I don't. I don't think. I mean,

189
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 2>that's my opinion, and I think that's my interpretation of

190
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>what their constitutional authority would be, if you want to

191
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:33.559
<v Speaker 2>call it that.

192
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 7>I ask, because the Constitution forbids a national police force, right.

193
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I don't I don't believe that that's what

194
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 2>they represent now. I think they've been weaponized by some

195
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>administrations to try to look that way. You know, we

196
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.919
<v Speaker 2>saw that under the last administration, where the FBI was

197
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of kind of doing the bidding of someone else

198
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.519
<v Speaker 2>who was pulling the string. So I see where your

199
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 2>concern of them becoming that becoming a slippery slope can

200
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>come from. But quite honestly, I've never had a lot

201
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 2>of interactions with the FBI where they were helpful in

202
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 2>many investigations. Now that's not saying they don't serve a

203
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>place and a purpose they have. They have taken some

204
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.919
<v Speaker 2>cases that we were glad to have them around. But

205
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.080
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, Uh, the FBI is is not

206
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 2>somebody that we that we in my agency call on

207
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 2>very often. But thanks for the call. Thanks for calling in, Kevin,

208
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>and we appreciate you listening. We got just a couple

209
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.440
<v Speaker 2>of seconds here left before we go to break. But

210
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, I encourage people to call in and we

211
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.480
<v Speaker 2>can do this whole Ask the sheriff a question thing.

212
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm never going to dodge a question. If you've got

213
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.600
<v Speaker 2>something about Weld County, if you got something about law

214
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 2>enforcement in the state of Colorado, I'll try to answer it.

215
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I may not know. I may have to get back

216
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>with you by tomorrow. But you can call in at

217
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 2>three O three seven one three eight two five five,

218
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 2>or you can text Dan at five seven seven three

219
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 2>nine and we'll read your text off the wall here.

220
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 2>So again, you know, it's it's great to have these

221
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 2>callers getting involved. It's great to have people that are

222
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 2>activated and leaning in about Senate Bill three twenty five

223
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>zero zero three. But ultimately, in this state, we have

224
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>to make a movement as a Republican Party to bring

225
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 2>balance back if we want to see these things stop,

226
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 2>and we can't do that by calling each other names.

227
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 2>We can't do that by fighting within our own party.

228
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.960
<v Speaker 2>We have to do that standing shoulder to shoulder and

229
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 2>moving forward in the right direction and showing voters that

230
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>we have better solutions to their problems, just like you

231
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 2>saw at the national level when Donald Trump won the

232
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 2>presidency and he's back in office, and I couldn't be

233
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>more happy with that. I think we'll cut to break,

234
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and on the other side, we're going to have guest

235
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>Matt Turner, who's running to replace me in Weld County,

236
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and he can have it at this point, So we'll

237
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 2>cut to break, and you're listening to The Dan Kapla Show.

238
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Steve Reams filling in for the Big Guy.

239
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.120
<v Speaker 8>And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.

240
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Back with the Dan Kaplis Show. We got Steve Raims,

241
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Weld County Sheriff, filling in. And in honor of that

242
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 2>song that Ryan just played, coming back in, we must

243
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>announce that the astronauts are back in the terrestrial Earth.

244
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 2>They are I don't think they're walking yet, but they're

245
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.559
<v Speaker 2>unloaded from the spacecraft and they don't look like they're

246
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 2>feeling the greatest, but they got smiles from ear to ear,

247
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 2>and I can't imagine a better feeling than what they're

248
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>going through. I want to hit just a couple of

249
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 2>texts before we get to our next guest. Eric sent

250
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.519
<v Speaker 2>in a text saying, Hey, we've got an event coming up.

251
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Take back the second. It's Saturday, eleven am to two

252
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 2>pm May eighteenth. Oh no, I'm sorry, that was an

253
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.200
<v Speaker 2>old event. He's talking about a flag that I gave him,

254
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 2>a thin blue line flag that I pulled out of

255
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 2>my back pocket and told him thank you for being

256
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>at the event. I know who this Eric is. He's

257
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 2>a great guy. He's just glad to be part of

258
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:55.279
<v Speaker 2>the process here. And love's listening to the show. Another one, Hey,

259
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 2>sheriff and joined the show so much, great job. And

260
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>then actually, Sheriff, you talk about can you talk about

261
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.440
<v Speaker 2>what the los athemous? Let's see what the I don't

262
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.399
<v Speaker 2>know it's against Oh the how tough it's been to

263
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.799
<v Speaker 2>recruit people over the last five years because some of

264
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 2>the stuff that's happened at the state House. We'll get

265
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>to that in a little bit. Well, that's a topic

266
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>in and of itself. Maybe we'll cover that a little

267
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.720
<v Speaker 2>bit with our next guest. I hinted to this before

268
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:23.799
<v Speaker 2>the show start. At the start of the show, I

269
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>only have one year, nine months, and eighteen days left

270
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 2>in office, not that anyone's counting. And there's a young

271
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.639
<v Speaker 2>man who's running to take my place. When I say

272
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 2>young man, he's younger than me, so that's what counts.

273
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 2>He's been with the Wellcounty Sheriff's Office for a little

274
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 2>bit of time, and his name is Matt Turner. We've

275
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 2>got him on the line and I want to introduce

276
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.200
<v Speaker 2>him to you. So, Matt Turner, are you with us?

277
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm with you. How you doing?

278
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great and good talking to you again from

279
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a remote location. I don't have to see your face

280
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.440
<v Speaker 2>all the time, but I get to see it pretty

281
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.879
<v Speaker 2>frequently because we work side by side on a lot

282
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>of things. But Matt, you decided that you're going to

283
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>a run for sheriff because you must have suffered a

284
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.960
<v Speaker 2>really bad head injury at some point in your life.

285
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.519
<v Speaker 2>And I say that tongue in cheek because I know

286
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 2>you did suffer a head injury when you were serving

287
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.240
<v Speaker 2>our country. So the give the callers, a little bit

288
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 2>of a background about who you are, why you're running

289
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.080
<v Speaker 2>for sheriff, other than just having a head injury, and

290
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 2>you know what's the calling, Why do you want to

291
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.159
<v Speaker 2>do this and why do you want to carry on

292
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.759
<v Speaker 2>the torch of the Weld County Sheriff's Office.

293
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, Matt Hey, thanks very much, Boston. You know,

294
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 6>I'll go ahead and say that I've had a few

295
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:33.039
<v Speaker 6>head injuries, but man, I'm super happy to serve this community.

296
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 6>This I have grown to love this community. I'm not

297
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.360
<v Speaker 6>a native to Weald County. I came here and I've

298
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 6>been here for the last thirteen years, and I have

299
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 6>loved every second of it. But a lot of that

300
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 6>has to do with the ethics, the character, and the

301
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.720
<v Speaker 6>mission of Weld County, and I think you're a great

302
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.879
<v Speaker 6>picture of that. So I've had a great time working

303
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 6>for you. I've had a great time serving a citizens.

304
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.399
<v Speaker 6>But I thrive in public service. I working my time

305
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:02.840
<v Speaker 6>in the military, I developed a love for service, sure,

306
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.799
<v Speaker 6>and it gives me purpose. It gives me a mission.

307
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 6>Every day when my alarm goes off, I wake up

308
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 6>energized and ready to come to work, and I'm happy

309
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 6>to continue that, but more so, I want to make

310
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.320
<v Speaker 6>sure that our office continues to do that too. And

311
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 6>you know, I'll say this one thing is that I

312
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.440
<v Speaker 6>didn't ever dream of being a politician. I never dreamed

313
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 6>of running for office. It's not something I want. I

314
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 6>don't want the authority that comes with it. I don't

315
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.320
<v Speaker 6>want the image that comes with it. And honestly, if

316
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.200
<v Speaker 6>there was a person at the office that I saw

317
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 6>who I think would be a better person to run

318
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 6>the office than me, I would support them. I just

319
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 6>don't see that. And we have a rich history of

320
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.279
<v Speaker 6>growing our sheriffs within our office, and I want to

321
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 6>be that next person to make sure that the community

322
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.720
<v Speaker 6>is taken care of. That's my ultimate goal.

323
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, and that's you know. I saw that in you too, Matt.

324
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.679
<v Speaker 2>I think you've you've risen through the ranks of the

325
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 2>Sheriff's office and an amazing amount of time. But I

326
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>think that a lot of that comes from your past history.

327
00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Tell the callers a little bit about your history before

328
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the Shareff's office, and we're a little limited on time,

329
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.440
<v Speaker 2>so you know the reader's digest version if you will.

330
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I woke up one Tuesday morning. I didn't have

331
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 6>any direction in life.

332
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I was.

333
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.320
<v Speaker 6>I was twenty three years old. I didn't know what

334
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 6>I was going to do, and that day I decided

335
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:16.799
<v Speaker 6>to join the military and I joined the United States Army.

336
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.559
<v Speaker 6>I left for Fort Benning, Georgia, and I had quite

337
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 6>the experience. By the time I hit Iraq. I was

338
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 6>a fire team leader and I did nothing. For most

339
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:33.799
<v Speaker 6>of my time in Iraq led I led a great

340
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.360
<v Speaker 6>group of guys doing that. They're guys that I still

341
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 6>talked to Matt monthly. But after my time in the

342
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.519
<v Speaker 6>my tour of service in the United States Army, I

343
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:45.440
<v Speaker 6>came back to Colorado and I served in the Colorado

344
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 6>Army National Guard out of Fort Lefton for three years.

345
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.200
<v Speaker 6>And right around that time, I got the job at

346
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 6>the Sheriff's office and found that new way to serve

347
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.600
<v Speaker 6>and I got out of the military. But every lesson

348
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 6>that I learned through leadership lesson just tactical lessons in life,

349
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.080
<v Speaker 6>lessons from the military, I've applied to my time in

350
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.359
<v Speaker 6>the Sheriff's office, and like you said, I help it.

351
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 6>I think it helped me escalate very quickly.

352
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I know you won't mention this. You're and

353
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.119
<v Speaker 2>this isn't something you wear on your sleeve, but you're

354
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.720
<v Speaker 2>a Purple Heart recipient from your time in Iraq. You

355
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 2>were in a vehicle that hit a roadside bomb and

356
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.640
<v Speaker 2>your your entire crew took it pretty hard. You were

357
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 2>you were able to survive that incident and recover, but

358
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.640
<v Speaker 2>it obviously leaves leaves some lasting scars, both emotionally and physically.

359
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 2>And you've overcome that and applied what you've what you've

360
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 2>been through to the Sheriff's Office in a in a

361
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.400
<v Speaker 2>great way. So talk a little bit about your talk

362
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about your experience with the s O.

363
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Just real quick, we only have about thirty seconds.

364
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.440
<v Speaker 6>You know, I jumped around the Sheriff's Office quite a

365
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 6>bit in different, different different areas. I started out as

366
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.160
<v Speaker 6>a deputy in the jail, and I've just tried to

367
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:51.799
<v Speaker 6>experience as much of the office as I can.

368
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.440
<v Speaker 2>And I, oh, sorry, go ahead, you're running from the

369
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.440
<v Speaker 2>position to Captain Matt. I'm sorry, we're cutting you a

370
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 2>little short. You're gonna have a fundraiserund Thursday night. Go

371
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 2>to his website TURNERF Sheriff dot com And we appreciate

372
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you having you on. You're listening to Dan Caplis with

373
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Steve Riems as the host. You're back with the Dan

374
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Caplis Show. You got Steve Rieims welcoming Sheriff filling in

375
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.079
<v Speaker 2>today and again, it's just an honor to be helping

376
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.359
<v Speaker 2>keep Dan's show on the rails, or at least trying to.

377
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying not to crash the corvette and run it

378
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>into the wall, but he gave me the keys, so

379
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'm I'm gonna have to at least

380
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>bring it back with a couple of scratches and maybe

381
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.240
<v Speaker 2>a dent. So it's cool sitting here and getting to

382
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>be on the other side of the stereo, I guess,

383
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>or the radio if you will, actually putting the show

384
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.240
<v Speaker 2>out instead of just listening to it. Because I'm a

385
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>big fan of the Dan Caplis Show and the show

386
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>before that, the Ryan Shuling Show. So this is kind

387
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.400
<v Speaker 2>of a bucket list thing for me today, a lot

388
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 2>of fun, to be honest with you. We didn't get

389
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 2>much time with the last guest, and I want to

390
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.319
<v Speaker 2>make sure in that final segment that I put out

391
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.079
<v Speaker 2>just a little bit of his information because it's important

392
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:09.200
<v Speaker 2>to me to see a good candidate get elected in

393
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Weld County for the office of Sheriff. I am term limited.

394
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I am happy to be leaving. It's not that the

395
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 2>job hasn't been great, but it's time for some new

396
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 2>faces and new blood, and I think Matt Turner is

397
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be a great candidate for that office. But

398
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:25.599
<v Speaker 2>we're going to transition just a little bit now to

399
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:30.839
<v Speaker 2>another former law enforcement guy, Ryan Armagos. He is the

400
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.400
<v Speaker 2>representative for HD sixty four. He's also the minority whip,

401
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:39.079
<v Speaker 2>which has to come with some really cool accouterments. I

402
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:42.400
<v Speaker 2>hope he's like Indiana Jones looking. But Ryan, are you

403
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:45.160
<v Speaker 2>on the line with us? And how you doing this afternoon?

404
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:47.799
<v Speaker 9>Yes, sir, thank you, Sheriff, I'm doing it. How are

405
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.079
<v Speaker 9>you doing?

406
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. Ryan. Do you get to carry an

407
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 2>actual whip with you down at the State House, because

408
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that could be pretty handy.

409
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 9>I don't I would probably be sort of the probing

410
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.640
<v Speaker 9>the ethical issue, ever be you.

411
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Probably end up wanting to use that in a way

412
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 2>that's not most advantageous to your career. But Ryan, you know,

413
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I know you pretty well. I know when you got

414
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.920
<v Speaker 2>into into this seed. I know kind of some of

415
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.960
<v Speaker 2>your motivations for running to be a state rep. But

416
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 2>the callers are the listeners may not, So what made

417
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.759
<v Speaker 2>you decide to switch gears and say, you know what,

418
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring and run

419
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.119
<v Speaker 2>for HD sixty four and represent some great people in

420
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.880
<v Speaker 2>northern Colorado, mostly that birthed area. But just tell us

421
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:30.680
<v Speaker 2>how you got to where you're at.

422
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 9>Absolutely five years ago, I never would have said I'd

423
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 9>be in any kind of elected position. But I came

424
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:43.160
<v Speaker 9>from career, military and law enforcement, just like who you're

425
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 9>talking about with Kevin Turner. But I didn't have any

426
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.160
<v Speaker 9>anything other than service. I think between military a I

427
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.599
<v Speaker 9>served a couple of years as a firefighter in Evans

428
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:59.359
<v Speaker 9>and then went into law enforcement larmer chemist sheriff's office,

429
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.559
<v Speaker 9>and after twenty twenty kind of the negative turn toward

430
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:06.559
<v Speaker 9>law enforcement is really what led me there. Well, there

431
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:10.200
<v Speaker 9>was a steep turn toward holding up the criminal and

432
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:12.839
<v Speaker 9>holding down the victims, and you know, the people that

433
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 9>are just trying to live their lives from day to day,

434
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:16.240
<v Speaker 9>go to work and.

435
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Do their thing.

436
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:19.920
<v Speaker 9>So that's what got me a lot more politically vocal

437
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:24.240
<v Speaker 9>in twenty twenty. And then come twenty twenty one, I

438
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.960
<v Speaker 9>started getting very politically driven, and that's when I was

439
00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:31.640
<v Speaker 9>running for or looking for an opportunity to run for something,

440
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.799
<v Speaker 9>and it just so happened they redistricted and there was

441
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.680
<v Speaker 9>a new house Distory sixty four that opened up and

442
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 9>threw my hat in the ring, and it seemed like

443
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 9>it was just kind of paid from there on out.

444
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.279
<v Speaker 2>So right, So, Ryan, you know, I think it's important

445
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 2>to highlight your background. You do have some law enforcement experience,

446
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.160
<v Speaker 2>you do have some great military experience, and you bring

447
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 2>that with you to the job. But you hinted on

448
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:56.200
<v Speaker 2>something that one of the callers had talked about before,

449
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's basically, how tough has the world of law enforcement?

450
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Then in the state of Colorado? Why are things so

451
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.319
<v Speaker 2>upside down? And you can probably speak to it better

452
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.960
<v Speaker 2>than anyone because you're down at the place where all

453
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:11.880
<v Speaker 2>where I think all the responsibility lies for why law

454
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.319
<v Speaker 2>enforcement has gotten so upside down in the state of Colorado.

455
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.400
<v Speaker 2>You described why you wanted to activate and get involved

456
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.759
<v Speaker 2>in politics, and it was, if I'm not speaking out

457
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.759
<v Speaker 2>of turn, probably sent it Bill two seventeen. But those

458
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.119
<v Speaker 2>same legislators are those same types of legislators have continued

459
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:32.480
<v Speaker 2>to push the anti law enforcement narrative. How do you

460
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 2>see it down there? How does it feel being down

461
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.119
<v Speaker 2>in that house and hearing that rhetoric that goes on,

462
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 2>and what do you do to fight back?

463
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Well?

464
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:45.599
<v Speaker 9>Absolutely, there's this level of just anti law enforcement, anti authority,

465
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:50.039
<v Speaker 9>and that's what really got me more motivated once I

466
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 9>started visiting the capitol and really seeing what the tone

467
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 9>was down there. And since then, it's only seeming like

468
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.680
<v Speaker 9>it's been getting progressively worse from year to year. This

469
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.240
<v Speaker 9>year it seems like it's definitely the worst. And like

470
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.240
<v Speaker 9>you said, since two seventeen came around, there have been

471
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 9>other methods of that, if not tying the hands of

472
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 9>law enforcement, making their job more restrictive and more bureaucratic

473
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.480
<v Speaker 9>to be able to make a simple split second decisions

474
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 9>that are required by a law enforcement officer minute to minute.

475
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.519
<v Speaker 9>So I think it's just made it to where it's

476
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:28.880
<v Speaker 9>hard to be a cop in Colorado. There's you know,

477
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:33.039
<v Speaker 9>retention became an issue. There was really nothing until you know,

478
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.319
<v Speaker 9>when the new proposition came out for the voters to

479
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.359
<v Speaker 9>decide that they wanted to refund law enforcement and give

480
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.440
<v Speaker 9>them the ability to get back to where they were,

481
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 9>the incentive to provide the training that is now obviously

482
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:50.079
<v Speaker 9>required by the state. But it's just been it's been

483
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.920
<v Speaker 9>very hard to counter that. Being in the minority, we

484
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 9>only had a few me and Gabe Evans who were

485
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.839
<v Speaker 9>the two law enforcement prior law enforcement officers in the Capitol.

486
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:02.920
<v Speaker 9>Now it's just done to me, it's and seemed moved

487
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:06.799
<v Speaker 9>gone up to Congress. But it's been the challenge just

488
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 9>having that ability to speak for law enforcement and constantly

489
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:15.079
<v Speaker 9>listen to just the negative rhetoric and the negative outlook

490
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.079
<v Speaker 9>from a lot of the legislators down there on law

491
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 9>and toward me.

492
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine what you hear and how frustrating it

493
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:24.359
<v Speaker 2>can be. And you know, you transition from that to

494
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.160
<v Speaker 2>some of the other bills that I think you know,

495
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing in this legislative session. We've talked about Senate

496
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Bill three, but you're in the fight down there. You're

497
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:36.000
<v Speaker 2>on some of those committees that are having the discussions

498
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.119
<v Speaker 2>about Senate Bill three and how that travels through the House.

499
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 2>How frustrating is it to you to see this obvious

500
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 2>gun grab, this terrible bill push through and to listen

501
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 2>to the testimony. I mean, how do you how do

502
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:50.440
<v Speaker 2>you how do you digest that? How do you push

503
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:53.240
<v Speaker 2>back and kind of what's your thought process of where

504
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 2>this thing ends up.

505
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:57.519
<v Speaker 9>Well, it's just this is one of I think there's

506
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:03.119
<v Speaker 9>twenty three I believe anti bills coming to legislatures this year.

507
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.279
<v Speaker 9>But yeah, that's the most egregious and atrocious that we've

508
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.799
<v Speaker 9>had in Colorado history of non American history. And it's

509
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:12.720
<v Speaker 9>morphed so many times. Every time it's been read, it's

510
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 9>morphed into something different, and this more the most recent

511
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 9>one became an all out attack on gun owners. Anyone

512
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.799
<v Speaker 9>that wants to purchase any any firearm. Basically they have

513
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:28.519
<v Speaker 9>to now pay their way into owning a firearm. So

514
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 9>they have to go through some sort of training, whether

515
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.960
<v Speaker 9>it be hunter education or a twelve hour course that

516
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:36.599
<v Speaker 9>would end up being a two day training that they

517
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.680
<v Speaker 9>would have to attend just to be able to purchase

518
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 9>a firearm. But beyond that, it became a slap in

519
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.400
<v Speaker 9>the face to law enforcement because not only are they

520
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 9>putting this on Colorado parks and lid life that is

521
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:50.759
<v Speaker 9>not funded for that, and definitely not employee. They don't

522
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.000
<v Speaker 9>have the employees to do this. They barely have enough

523
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:58.359
<v Speaker 9>to do hunter education, so doing making it an unfunded

524
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.599
<v Speaker 9>mandate for the county Sheriff's to Calleretto, it's basically going

525
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 9>to come on them to do the fingerprints in the

526
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 9>background without any funding from the state, So they're going

527
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:09.640
<v Speaker 9>to have to eat that cost as kind of a

528
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:13.119
<v Speaker 9>slap in the base to law enforcement, the Colorado Parks

529
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 9>and Wildlife and the hunters, because this is going to

530
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.119
<v Speaker 9>comeout of licensing toes to get your hunting license, so

531
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 9>it's not going to be very dismantling for hunters, iron owners,

532
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:23.079
<v Speaker 9>and law enforcement.

533
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:25.599
<v Speaker 2>I always say when a bill has to take multiple

534
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.200
<v Speaker 2>pages to figure out how to strip away your rights

535
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and really doesn't ever tackle anything dealing with, you know,

536
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.160
<v Speaker 2>how you're going to reduce crime or how you're going

537
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:36.839
<v Speaker 2>to increase public safety, the bill's probably a bad bill.

538
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 2>This one's eighteen pages long in its current version. It's

539
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.240
<v Speaker 2>eighteen pages of well, I won't say what I want

540
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to say, but on page seventeen there's a portion there

541
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.000
<v Speaker 2>that it drives me crazy more than anything because it

542
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.400
<v Speaker 2>basically says, hey, the Attorney General has the ability to

543
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 2>go in and kind of make decisions about what they

544
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.799
<v Speaker 2>think the intent this bill is if anything is to

545
00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 2>ever come into question. I know that's not in a

546
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of bills, but it's in this bill, and that

547
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.200
<v Speaker 2>can't even I mean, that gives the attorney general power

548
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 2>in my mind that they just shouldn't be seated.

549
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

550
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.400
<v Speaker 9>Absolutely, And that's obviously another partisan seat where I can

551
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:20.039
<v Speaker 9>go either direction, and we obviously know what direction that

552
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 9>would go in the current in Colorado administration.

553
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, Ryan, I can't tell you that I

554
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:31.920
<v Speaker 2>envy the position that you're in because when you were

555
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.079
<v Speaker 2>running for that I may have asked you if you

556
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.759
<v Speaker 2>were crazy, but you've proven that you are because you're

557
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:40.240
<v Speaker 2>in your second term down there, you're fighting the fight.

558
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 2>You are a voice of reason when it comes to

559
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.880
<v Speaker 2>gun bills. We appreciate the fact that you're down there

560
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:49.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to do everything you can. We hope that we

561
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:53.200
<v Speaker 2>keep adding Republican seats down there, because Republicans really do

562
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:55.599
<v Speaker 2>have the solutions to a lot of these problems, and

563
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:58.599
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats just keep making life harder in the way

564
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:01.039
<v Speaker 2>I see it. Do you have any closing comments you

565
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:02.680
<v Speaker 2>want to leave us with any bills that we should

566
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:05.960
<v Speaker 2>be on the lookout for. Just we'll close out with

567
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>whatever you have to provide to the listeners.

568
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.640
<v Speaker 9>There's definitely a lot more coming. I think the biggest

569
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:13.559
<v Speaker 9>thing for people to do is just get involved. I

570
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:17.039
<v Speaker 9>think it's scary when people don't know that these builts

571
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 9>are coming until they're already they've already become law. Right,

572
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 9>getting involved, Getting in touch with your legislator, even if

573
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 9>it's not somebody that is on the same side you

574
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 9>vote on, but at least getting getting in touch with

575
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:32.720
<v Speaker 9>a legislator that you know you can get information from

576
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.240
<v Speaker 9>and valid information from on what's coming. Just to stay

577
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 9>in touch, stand the know, and be forward looking on

578
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:42.200
<v Speaker 9>what's coming down before it has already become law and

579
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:44.759
<v Speaker 9>it's already affecting you. So getting involved in the capital

580
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 9>as much as you can is definitely important for everybody

581
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.519
<v Speaker 9>to come on down and get your voice heard in

582
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.759

<v Speaker 2>very quiet, you're very thoughtful, you keep your conversation short,

597
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.400
<v Speaker 2>and so bringing you on the radio is probably outside

598
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:40.960
<v Speaker 2>of your comfort zone. But I really appreciate you being on.

599
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I really appreciate you educating the listeners and just thanks

600
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:45.240
<v Speaker 2>for your time and thanks for what you do down

601
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:46.839
<v Speaker 2>there at the stay House. We appreciate it.

602
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:48.880
<v Speaker 9>Thanks for everything you do. I appreciate you having me on.

603
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:51.759
<v Speaker 2>You bet so we'll got we're going to cut to break.

604
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back in this last segment and kind of

605
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:57.000
<v Speaker 2>do a mop up and clean up the mess I've made.

606
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Ryan's laughing because he's kind thinking right now, you should

607
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 2>throw this guy out of the booth. But regardless, you

608
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 2>listen to the Dan Kaples Show. You got Steve Rims

609
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 2>as a guest host, and we'll be back in just

610
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:08.880
<v Speaker 2>a few.

611
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.599
<v Speaker 8>And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

612
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Music musical entrance in honor of House Minority Whip Ryan

613
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Arma Gost You said that.

614
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.960
<v Speaker 10>I'm reminded of the scene where the samurai guy shows

615
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:31.079
<v Speaker 10>up and raiders at Lastar.

616
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:32.200
<v Speaker 8>He's got all these.

617
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.240
<v Speaker 10>Moves, he's showing off the sword and then he just

618
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:35.839
<v Speaker 10>busts up the gun and blows them away.

619
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:36.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

620
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a forty four that he pulls.

621
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.640
<v Speaker 8>Out and just stevens the score certainly did.

622
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that's a great scene.

623
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:46.559
<v Speaker 11>But do you guys know the story behind that scene?

624
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 7>Right?

625
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.440
<v Speaker 8>No, you should tell us that, you really should. Yeah.

626
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:56.079
<v Speaker 11>So Harrison Ford had dysentery what and so he had

627
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.480
<v Speaker 11>lived that scene because he was feeling so bad that

628
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.359
<v Speaker 11>he basically, you know, let the guy do all of

629
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.599
<v Speaker 11>his stuff and then he just love it.

630
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:09.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, you couldn't have written it any better. No, Right,

631
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:11.559
<v Speaker 2>that's that's such a memorable scene out of you know,

632
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:13.319
<v Speaker 2>a movie from my generation.

633
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:13.920
<v Speaker 8>I love it.

634
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 10>Doesn't it surprise me either with Harrison Ford because there's,

635
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:19.960
<v Speaker 10>you know, the long standing observation that George Lucas is

636
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.920
<v Speaker 10>really poor at writing dialogue. And especially romantic dialogue with

637
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:25.920
<v Speaker 10>real stilted like he'd.

638
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 8>Never spoken to a girl before.

639
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:30.359
<v Speaker 10>So at the end of Empire strikes Back spoiler alert,

640
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.559
<v Speaker 10>Princess Leah, as Hans Solo is being lowered into the carbonite,

641
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:36.559
<v Speaker 10>says I love you, and the original script says I

642
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.720
<v Speaker 10>love you too, and then Harrison Ford's like, Han Solo

643
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:41.000
<v Speaker 10>wouldn't say that, So he just looks back and goes,

644
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.960
<v Speaker 10>I know, and that is totally a Han Solo respect.

645
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.839
<v Speaker 2>That is right. The other way, it doesn't work the

646
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.119
<v Speaker 2>other way, it's too cheesy. Well, so you know, this

647
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.279
<v Speaker 2>is like the fastest two hours I think I've ever

648
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:54.000
<v Speaker 2>had in my life.

649
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:55.480
<v Speaker 8>That's a good sign, let me tell you.

650
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:58.119
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it went great, But you do have to break

651
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:02.440
<v Speaker 11>an argument that that we have had here.

652
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:04.680
<v Speaker 8>Like she knows she's wrong.

653
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 10>She's an anti American communist because she hates both chocolate

654
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:08.960
<v Speaker 10>and bacon.

655
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:12.079
<v Speaker 8>What the exactly, See, I almost had to dump you there.

656
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:16.039
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, No, that's the Seriously, that's not what I was

657
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 11>going to say.

658
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Chocolate covered bacon, Yes, it's awesome, sweet and savor. Okay,

659
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:24.240
<v Speaker 2>so what's the tiebreaker going on?

660
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 1>No?

661
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 11>I was talking about barbecue.

662
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.799
<v Speaker 10>Oh no, yeah, she Again, this doesn't help your cause

663
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:33.160
<v Speaker 10>either doesn't like chocolate, doesn't like bacon, doesn't like barbecue,

664
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:34.400
<v Speaker 10>smoke meats of any kind.

665
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.839
<v Speaker 2>So I grew up in Texas. Barbecue is a whole

666
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 2>food group.

667
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 8>O lord, and they do not have good not helping.

668
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>They do not have good barbecue in Colorado. Well, I'm

669
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:46.839
<v Speaker 2>going to give you a pass because you've probably never

670
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 2>had really good barbecue from California.

671
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:55.119
<v Speaker 10>So communists, obviously, Sheriff, you think that Texas barbecue is

672
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 10>the best, better than Memphis, better than Saint louis better

673
00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:58.880
<v Speaker 10>than Carolina, right.

674
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:01.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't know if I think it's I

675
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:03.640
<v Speaker 2>love it. I love it, but you know, they're all

676
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:05.559
<v Speaker 2>a little different. It doesn't mean I don't like those

677
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:07.839
<v Speaker 2>others though. Good barbecue is good barbecue, but there is

678
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:09.519
<v Speaker 2>a difference in all of them. I mean, I've been

679
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:11.759
<v Speaker 2>to Kansas City and they do it right there too,

680
00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:15.839
<v Speaker 2>But Texas has that that smoky you know, rich, It's

681
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:16.640
<v Speaker 2>it's so good.

682
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:18.039
<v Speaker 10>What do you go with, Like, you go to a

683
00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:20.480
<v Speaker 10>barbecue restaurant, what's your go to order? Oh it's brisket,

684
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:26.119
<v Speaker 10>absolutely brisket. Yeah, good stuff, burn ins too, Oh yeah.

685
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.119
<v Speaker 2>The best. But honestly, in Kansas City, I think they

686
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:29.599
<v Speaker 2>did the burned ins better there, So.

687
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:34.279
<v Speaker 8>Okay, I think, I okay, that doesn't help at all

688
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 8>this conversation. Well, I'm just telling it.

689
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:38.440
<v Speaker 2>At least you didn't say a corn dog.

690
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:44.279
<v Speaker 8>Oh love, oh boy, barbecue loves corn dogs.

691
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.480
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know how you know. I was afraid

692
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I was going to derail the show. Now look what

693
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.680
<v Speaker 2>has happened. It's all her fun. Well, well, just clean

694
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 2>up here a little bit, you know it was. It

695
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.160
<v Speaker 2>was a fun day with everybody. I didn't get to

696
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:56.960
<v Speaker 2>have Matt Turner on as long as i'd like, but

697
00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:58.799
<v Speaker 2>I do want to plug his website. You can go

698
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:03.359
<v Speaker 2>to his website at Turner turnerfor sheriff dot com. He's

699
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.920
<v Speaker 2>having a fundraiser on Thursday night. He'd probably love to

700
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.400
<v Speaker 2>have some donations and some people attending. And I want

701
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:11.199
<v Speaker 2>to see him get elected. I fully endorse him, and

702
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I hope the people of Weald County will too. This

703
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:15.239
<v Speaker 2>has been a pleasure. I'm signing off on the Dan

704
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Kaplas Show Steve Raims as guest host,
