I'm 8 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.239 going to get my mouth working here in just a second, 9 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.039 but this is day three of three and my Friday 10 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.640 and probably many of your Fridays as well as we 11 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.320 get ready for this fourth of July holiday. So Happy 12 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.640 Independence Day to all of you as you roll into 13 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.039 the holiday weekend. This is my favorite holiday of the 14 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.280 year by leaps and bounds, because we get to blow 15 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.119 stuff up and celebrate America. What more could you want. 16 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.000 Earlier in the week, we had some breaking news. I 17 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.640 think it was Monday that Representative Ryan Armagos announced that 18 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.520 he would be stepping away from the state Legislature from 19 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.240 the HD sixty four seat and he was going to 20 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.719 be pursuing greener pastures and his words to accept a 21 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.280 job down in Arizona. That sparked a little bit of 22 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.200 interest in people wanting to run for his seat. And 23 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.719 yesterday we had a candidate honor, a person who identified 24 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.760 themselves as a potential candidate for that seat. And today 25 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.040 we're going to have yet one more. And again, as 26 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.879 I said yesterday, it doesn't matter where you're at in 27 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.599 the state of Colorado, every legislative seat down at the 28 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.599 Golden Dome is important, and you want to retain every 29 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.760 one of those that you can as a Republican seat 30 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:33.000 because they all matter. At this point, HD sixty four 31 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.159 is a pretty safe seat in Republican territory unless you 32 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.280 get the wrong person in there, and then that can 33 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.040 think cause things to go haywire. So with us on 34 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.840 the line is a young man named Scott Slaw. He 35 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.000 is going to be jumping into that race and throwing 36 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.400 his hat in the ring. And Scott, are you on 37 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:54.239 with us? Good to have you, Scott. I know that 38 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.519 you've shown some interest. I saw your announcement on Facebook 39 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.200 that you're going to be throwing your hat in the 40 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.120 ring for EAHD. Tell the listeners why you're interested in 41 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:04.400 a little bit about your background. 42 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.919 Well, thanks, Steve, appreciate the opportunity to talk and appreciate 43 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.759 being able to talk to some other folks earlier today.

Other than that, this has 49 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:31.080 always been home. 50 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.159 And anybody who. 51 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:37.599 Knows knows that loyalty is a huge thing for me, 52 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.439 and I just I care so much about House District 53 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.159 sixty four and said, if you saw my announcement, I said, 54 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.000 it's not just my house district. This is my home district. 55 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.400 And as an. 56 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.680 Army officer who's got a lot of specialties that are 57 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.319 in the protection realm, you know, I want to protect 58 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.240 the liberties and the rights and that people of this 59 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.800 district from a lot of crazy things that have been 60 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.520 going on, and want to make sure that anything that 61 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.960 we are looking at happening in Colorado is going to 62 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.360 be the right thing for the people and for the citizens, 63 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.680 and especially for this district. For me as a representative 64 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.599 of the district. Soldiers and thanks I've let in the past, 65 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:24.479 would confirm with you, confirm to you that I would 66 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.479 stand toe to toe with anybody, including general officers. At 67 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:33.159 times that's happened that I've backed them up and said, 68 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.439 hey sir, hey ma'am, this is not right. 69 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:36.280 We need to do this. 70 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.680 And I would do the same for anybody as a 71 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:41.879 representative here in Colorado. 72 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:42.960 And I think we need that. 73 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.000 There's so much fight that we need, you know, but 74 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.000 statesman like fight down and down at the Capitol. But 75 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.520 I have been looking forward to doing that when Ryan 76 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.199 was moved out of office. I expected that to be 77 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.719 in two thousand twenty eight, and had been talking to 78 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.560 folks about that for a few years since I was 79 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.280 ryan district chair when he was running at first. 80 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.599 And so you've been eyeing the seat for a little while. 81 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.919 I mean you had a plan to run for this seat, 82 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.639 is what you're saying. 83 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.560 You know, if you looked at my Strategic Excel spread 84 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:20.839 seat Plan of life, it would you would see it 85 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.000 on there in the twenty twenty eight. So it's absolutely 86 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.759 been on the mind for over three years now. But 87 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.079 in twenty twenty, this is what. 88 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:28.480 I'm gonna do. 89 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.079 And you know, Mike Tyson said, everybody's got a plan 90 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.120 until they get punched. In the mouth, and I didn't 91 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.480 it punched in the mouth, But hey, plans are, plans are, 92 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.639 and sometimes they change and you have to adapt. 93 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.040 Well, So you mentioned that you did for it. Yeah, 94 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.279 you mentioned that you and Ryan Armagust Representative Armagust have 95 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.399 a friendship, that you've known each other for a while. 96 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.399 Is that leading to an endorsement from mister arma Gust 97 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.000 or have you guys had that discussion yet? 98 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.079 You know, I talked Ryan on Monday afternoon when I 99 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.439 was when I was driving back from Colorado Springs, and 100 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.560 Ryan's I don't think Ryan is ready to endorse anybody 101 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.480 right now. That was that's bored for word what he said. 102 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.959 He knows, you knows myself, he knows Colin and yet 103 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.600 on yesterday, you know, and I don't have any ill 104 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.639 will towards anybody. We're all we're all trying to do 105 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.920 the same thing, and we're all working hard to make 106 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.720 sure that we're accomplishing the same ends meet And so 107 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.319 I don't right now. Ryan hasn't said he was going 108 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:25.959 to endorse. 109 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:27.639 I hope for that to change. 110 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.959 I know Ryan knows that I've been looking at it 111 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.800 for a long time and I have a lot of 112 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.879 the same opinions. We're both apparently am living in Johnstown, 113 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.040 though I'm building a house. 114 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.319 In Berthed, so you know, we're both birth at Heights at. 115 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.639 Some point in time. And I'd love to have Ryan's endorsement, Okay, 116 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.000 I think that would mean a lot. 117 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.920 So you spoke a little bit about your military background, 118 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.959 and I think you're still currently in the military. What 119 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.959 what makes you different from any opponent that you might 120 00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.120 enter and why should voters lean into you versus the 121 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.160 the person we had on yesterday or anybody else that 122 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.759 might jump down. What distances you from all those others esteem? 123 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.199 I think if you're asking about the military side of 124 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.600 it a little bit, and then what differentiates me that 125 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.240 experience that I've had and even started before that as 126 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.000 a as a youth and as a boy scout and 127 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.279 learning about leadership there and then being able to follow 128 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.800 on and serve in the military as an officer and 129 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.600 as a leader. I believe in leadership. I taught leadership 130 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.600 classes that u NC, you know, a decade and a 131 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.160 half ago. I was a teacher there, and I believe 132 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.680 in leadership. It's an important thing. And I've got a 133 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.000 lot of experience in that, and you. 134 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:47.800 Know, don't we don't go to war at the Capitol. 135 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.759 We're not at the House. DISC sixty four is not 136 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.160 going to war with anybody. So, you know, my my 137 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:57.040 strategist background and war plans background from working at the Pentagon, 138 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:58.439 it's not going to really do a lot for me 139 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:03.480 other than we do go to more metaphorically down there. 140 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.360 There's a lot to try to protect people from down there. 141 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.360 Think there's things that pass every year. It seems like 142 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.360 recently that. 143 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:15.759 I wish we just. 144 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.680 Had more more people not supporting you know, all the 145 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.040 Second Amendment stuff that's changed this year. The first time 146 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.759 I got really interested in running and then I wasn't 147 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.519 able to was in twenty thirteen. I was going to 148 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.040 run in twenty fourteen, but I was deployed. I was 149 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.480 in East Africa, and another fine guy jumped in, and yeah, 150 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.240 another fine guy jumped up and did it and supported 151 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.639 him and he did great, ran a great campaign. Didn't win, 152 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.680 but you know, it was a good candidate too. But 153 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.959 I think I've got the leadership and the ability to 154 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.560 work with other people and to see the big picture 155 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.360 of what needs happened, and to be able to communicate 156 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.360 why the big picture matters, even people who may not 157 00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.079 necessarily see it the same way that I do. 158 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.879 Sure so, Scott, I will kind of end with this. 159 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.959 But has has it been cleared up yet as to 160 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.279 how that appointment is to be made? I know there 161 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.480 was a little bit of uncertainty because the vacancy committee 162 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.519 hadn't really been established. It's not going to go back 163 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.439 to a vote of the people. We know that, But 164 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.480 what does that vacancy naming process look like or vacancy 165 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:21.560 filling process look like? 166 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:22.720 Yeah? 167 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.399 Sure so Scott James is the House Social fifty four 168 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.399 Central Committee chair, and he will have to establish the 169 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.000 Vacancy Committee. And the Vacancy Committee will be made up 170 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.840 comprised of all the precent committee people and other representatives 171 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.600 from the district, including the officers of the district and such. 172 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:45.480 And they will have an assembly and they will vote. 173 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.639 It'll be it's a secret ballot, the bilaws say it's 174 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.159 a secret ballot vote, and it will vote until they have, 175 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:57.720 you know, a simple majority winner. And it probably won't 176 00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.200 take more than one vote. 177 00:08:58.879 --> 00:08:59.039 You know. 178 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.919 I mean, sure would be impressive for it to be 179 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.440 a tie more once or more than once, but that's 180 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.480 that's the basics of how it works. And I understand 181 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.159 how you know that vacancy committee's not performed and ready 182 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.279 necessarily to jump and out of a meeting right now? 183 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:18.399 Did that exact same job that Scott had three or 184 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.559 so years ago, And you know, we would have never 185 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.480 expected that we were going to have a vacancy. We 186 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.720 were always prepared to move on it and create a 187 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.840 vacancy committee, but we didn't have it on the shelf 188 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:30.879 ready to go at the moment. Yeah, and so I'm 189 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.799 sure that Scott will have it handled soon well. 190 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.200 And in fairness, Representative Armagost has not as not planned 191 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.279 to step down until September one, so there's a little 192 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:40.879 bit of planning time to make all that happen. 193 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.639 Yeah, absolutely, they have some time. 194 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.120 Scott. I appreciate you coming on and kind of giving 195 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.679 the listeners a little bit of your candidacy, and we'll 196 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.639 wish you the best. It sounds like there's going to 197 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.480 be a little bit of a arm wrestle and may 198 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:53.559 the best person. 199 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.039 Win, absolutely, and then maybe we all support whoever it 200 00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.000 is and try to make the right things happen down there. 201 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.960 Thanks for all you do too, you bet, Thanks, Thanks Scott. 202 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:03.679 Have a good evening. 203 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:05.399 Thanks. 204 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.600 So, as we talked about yesterday the day before, you know, 205 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.399 each one of these House House districts, Senate races, and 206 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:14.399 whatever it may be down at the Golden Dome, they 207 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.960 are vitally important to the state of Colorado, especially in 208 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.519 light of some of the extremely bad legislation that's getting 209 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.320 pumped out of that place, and any any Republican pushback 210 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.519 that you can get right now to deal with that 211 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.679 majority or super majority that exists down at the state Capitol. 212 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.200 Like I said many times before, it's it's absolutely necessary 213 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.440 because we can't let the Democrats run unfettered. It's it's 214 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.399 just important that we get a good person in there. 215 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.919 And you know, in my opinion, the last couple of days, 216 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:49.080 we've had two good candidates step forward, and excellence breeds excellence, 217 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.279 and a little bit of competition breeds excellence. And we'll 218 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.240 see what happens with these two. So if you want 219 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.679 to call in and make comments or syntex about the 220 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.919 HD sixty four race, you're welcome to do so. You 221 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.480 can text Dan at five seven, seven, three nine or 222 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.559 call in at three O three seven one three eight 223 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.600 two five five, And again you can call in about 224 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.240 whatever you want. Alex has already sent us a couple 225 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.399 of text messages and we'll get to those here in 226 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.759 just a little bit. We'll go to break first. When 227 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.000 we come back, we'll set up the second half of 228 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.919 the show and kind of switch gears a little bit. 229 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.639 And I really want to get you guys engaged, because 230 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.039 we're going to have a very special guest on, a 231 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.559 lady named Laura Carno, who many of you know from 232 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:29.080 the group Faster Colorado. She helps to train folks in 233 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.080 weapons training for protecting our school kids out there and 234 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.279 making sure the teachers who are allowed to be armed 235 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.960 in certain school districts can do just that. They can 236 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.360 carry armed and protect their students on a day to 237 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.000 day basis. But we'll get to her in the second 238 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.120 half of the show, or the second half of this segment, 239 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.200 and we'll do that right after this break. So you're 240 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.200 listening to Dan Kapli Show here with well kind of 241 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:52.840 Sheriff Steve Riims as your guest host. 242 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.120 Now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 243 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.559 Well Kenny Sheriff Steve Reims setting in in the passenger 244 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.320 seat or the driver's seat, whatever you want to call 245 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.240 it driving the Dan Caples show down the highway here, 246 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.120 but just a pleasure to sit in and take over 247 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.840 the show for these three days. Anytime you get a 248 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:17.600 chance to cover for Dan, it's always a little fun 249 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.759 and it's a change of pace for me. Gave me 250 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:23.080 an opportunity to ride my motorcycle down to the studio today, 251 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.679 which it's a little hot out there, especially when you're 252 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.960 only doing about three miles an hour on the highway, 253 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.720 but you know it's still out in the wind, and 254 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.639 it's better than sitting in a car. So good time 255 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.519 coming down. Going to a couple of text here, one 256 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.080 from Alexa, and I've kind of scratched my head on 257 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:41.960 this one all day today, it says Sheriff frames any 258 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.879 thoughts on the Diddy verdicts seems to be a little 259 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:48.000 bit of a conflict between guilty on transportation for prostitution 260 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.440 but not guilty on sex trafficking. Kind of wants my 261 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:56.039 perspective on the Diddy outcome. And it seems so weird 262 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.600 to even be talking about this on radio, because what 263 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.080 a disgusting, what a disgusting display we've seen from mister Combs. 264 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:06.919 But the best way I can explain it to Alexa 265 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.399 or anyone who cares to cares to listen to the 266 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.320 issues with the Sean Combs trial. From what I can tell, 267 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.120 what I can gather from the jury's perspective is it 268 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.399 seems as if they believe that the people who were 269 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.879 willingly there were there either because they were being paid 270 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.840 to be there, or they were just being paid, or 271 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.320 they were just there because they enjoyed the party. So 272 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.519 the trafficking charge would have required people basically to have 273 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.360 been brought there, brought there against their will. And I 274 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.519 know there was some arguments made. There may have been 275 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.919 some testimony that, you know, people didn't feel as if 276 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.879 they were free to go, But the evidence seemed to 277 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:52.039 explain that mister Diddy's, mister Combs's girlfriend could have left 278 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.000 many times over if she had chosen to, but she 279 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.159 kept coming back. And I think that's what kind of 280 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.360 caused the cause the jury to not really have a 281 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.519 lot of sympathy for the trafficking charge. But then there 282 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:06.960 was there was obvious evidence of prostitution, people being paid 283 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.840 to come in and have sex. So that's the difference. 284 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.759 Still very significant charges, and it's my understanding he can 285 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.519 still faced quite a few years in prison. I don't 286 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.559 think he will, but that's to be decided at a 287 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.720 later date. I would be surprised if he gets much 288 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.919 more than credit for time served. And you know, money 289 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.799 buys a lot of influence, and I'm sure mister Combs 290 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:32.840 has spent a lot of money on his defense. So 291 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.480 we'll see how it plays out. But from what I 292 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.799 heard on the news today that that sentencing won't happen 293 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:40.519 till the fall, and he's going to sit and jail 294 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.159 the entire time, which means every bit of time that 295 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.559 he's set there he'll basically get credit for. And that's that. 296 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:49.399 From there, I think I want to skip over here 297 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.039 to Tim down in Trinidad. He's been waiting for just 298 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.840 a little bit. He wants to make some comments on Colorado. Tim, 299 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:59.639 how you doing. I'm great. It sounds like you're fired 300 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.279 up at little bit. What do you got for us? 301 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:06.679 Well, no, no, you know, I was listening. As soon 302 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:08.159 as I got in the car. I always turned on 303 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.279 Dan and I know he has some liberal listeners, you know. 304 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:12.399 Because they called in. 305 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:15.240 And they disagree with them on things. But right as 306 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.080 I got in the car, you were talking to the 307 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.960 gentleman who's reading. 308 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.919 For HDC that's being vacated. 309 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.759 And you were talking about the supermajority under the Golden Dome, 310 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.000 and that is one question that I have yet have 311 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:36.080 any Democrat, whether it's moderate Democrat, part of the Democrat. 312 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.720 We do have a supermajority, the Democrats do in the 313 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.960 state of Colorado. Sure, so if their policies in leadership 314 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.639 is so great, then why are we in the mess 315 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:46.759 that we're in in this state. 316 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.559 Yeah, that's a great question. I mean it's a rhetorical 317 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:54.159 question on these airwaves, but yeah, yeah, I asked myself 318 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:55.960 that every day, and as a person who works in 319 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.720 the law enforcement circle, I can tell you that what 320 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.320 they've done has not made our state any better. I 321 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.759 mean it's it's made it drastically worse. I mean, we're 322 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.879 the second worst state in the nation for crime and 323 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.159 you live in an area that neighbors the first worst 324 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.240 state in the nation for crimes. 325 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.759 Yes, exactly, thank you. And that's like he ties in 326 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.080 And I wanted to listen to you yesterday and you 327 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.080 were talking about the death penalty and now it was 328 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.639 taken off the table in the Idaho uh the state 329 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.080 murder case. Yes, and we did the same thing in 330 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:32.360 this state. Nathan Dunlap, who was the Chuckie teeth killer, 331 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.399 was sentenced to death by a jury and kick and 332 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:37.600 Looper took that off the table. 333 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.480 Hicken Looper wouldn't sign the death warrant. He didn't have 334 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:47.440 the courage to sign the death warrant. Yeah, right, basically 335 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:48.080 gave a part. 336 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:54.000 Yeah he did. And I went into Nathan then Stern 337 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:58.679 Creational Center, Stern Creational Facility. We went up there to 338 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:02.360 assist in a shakedown. And the man has zero remorse. 339 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.000 I mean, he's arried right, right, and. 340 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.200 And that's that's what we create. 341 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.960 And that in my opinion, you know, it's just my 342 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.160 opinion that if you brought back the death penalty, and 343 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.920 me just my opinion, I would make it public. 344 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.799 Well certain, as a kid who grew up in Texas, 345 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.920 you know, I never witnessed, you know, a death sentence, obviously, 346 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.599 but I can remember as a kid, and I don't 347 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.119 remember what night of the week, I want to say, 348 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.119 Friday nights. But they would towards the end of the programming, 349 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.400 you know, when TV wasn't twenty four hours a day, 350 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.880 they would actually scroll the names of the people who 351 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.240 were going to be put to death. And you know 352 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.359 that may not seem like much, but it was just 353 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:45.319 a name and what their charge was. From what I 354 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.359 can remember, I was pretty young, but that's pretty impactful. 355 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.880 And I can't help but think that, you know, if 356 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.960 that was happening today, Mike changed a few people's minds. 357 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.759 I think. So I go back to Anti in a 358 00:17:58.759 --> 00:17:59.400 long tournament. 359 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:01.960 I don't say we're coming up on a hard break, 360 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.720 but hey, I appreciate you calling in. I couldn't agree 361 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.319 with your comments more. The dims are wrecking our state 362 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.559 and we got to bring it back.

Many 379 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.720 of you may know Laura Carno. She's with Faster Colorado 380 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.079 and Laura is known for helping to create a system 381 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.000 for getting teachers weapons training in those schools that are 382 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.200 smart enough to say we want to arm our teachers 383 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:20.240 and let them fight back against anyone who may want 384 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.359 to do harm to our kids. And on the line 385 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.200 with us is Laura Carno. Laura, how are you doing? 386 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.039 Hey, I'm great, Sure, thanks for having me on. 387 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.480 You bet it's always a pleasure, you know. For the 388 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.680 listeners that don't know exactly what your school is all about, 389 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:34.519 or what your program is all about, can you give 390 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.160 them kind of a quick rundown about Faster Colorado and 391 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.039 kind of the what was the driving force behind that? 392 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.319 Sure thing? So it has been legal in Colorado for 393 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.640 about twenty years for schools to make a decision to 394 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:54.079 have armed staff programs and rural schools were obviously the 395 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:58.519 early adopters, and so there have been schools out there 396 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.119 that are armed. What we do at Faster Colorado is 397 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.279 they have these schools have training requirements, which is good, 398 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:12.039 and we help to provide that training. So their insurance 399 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.839 company says, you've got to do all this training every year. 400 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.319 You've got to get qualified on a firearm, just like 401 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.759
