00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 2>George Roper filling in for the mighty Dan Caplis. He

7
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 2>is preparing yet another big victory for his client on

8
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.199
<v Speaker 2>a trial. That guy cannot seem to stay out of

9
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>the courtroom, which is a good sign other than when

10
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>they cave and settle, which is what happened for his

11
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>two week trial recently. Hey, listen, not my thanks to

12
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Grantham, he's the former President of the Senate for

13
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 2>the GOP in the last hour talking about the Trump portrait,

14
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>John Fabricatory, visiting professor of all things Immigration at the

15
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Heritage Foundation and former Ice guy to make us smarter

16
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>about what was going on with the two escapees from

17
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>that ice facility in Aurora, as well as the I

18
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 2>love the part that he talked.

19
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 3>About with the activist that is being deported that.

20
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>The left has said, oh my god, the horror, and

21
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>he described the history of what she had gone through.

22
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Brilliant.

23
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:01.799
<v Speaker 2>If you haven't had a chance to listen to that.

24
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I will go back to the podcast and take a listen.

25
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>This hour got a special guest coming up here in

26
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 2>a second. I want to set the stage for her.

27
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>You may not know this, but I'm a prosecutor and

28
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that we prosecute are crimes against children.

29
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>And some of those crimes, believe it or not, are

30
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>people who rape children. And in the state of Colorado,

31
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>if a person rapes a child but does it just

32
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>one time, they can get probation.

33
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 3>That's right, that's the law in the state of Colorado.

34
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 3>But way it gets better.

35
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>That fact remains true even if that rapist is in

36
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>a position of trust. And when I say position of trust,

37
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about teachers like the one that perhaps Ryan

38
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>was speaking about during his show a couple hours ago.

39
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 2>Groomers that prey upon their kids. That also applies to coaches.

40
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 2>We've all heard those stories. Even members of clergy, parents,

41
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 2>other family members. You can still get probation. Here's the thing.

42
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>You have to rape the child just the one time

43
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>to get probation. If you rape the same child twice,

44
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>it's called a pattern, and then you got to go

45
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 2>to prison. But here's the deal with the law. If

46
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 2>you rape five ten children, but you only do each

47
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>one of them once, you could still technically get probation.

48
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>You're probably driving around your car right now thinking that

49
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 2>can't possibly be right. Right, Like we send child rapists

50
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 2>to prison, we do many of the times, but that

51
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>is not always the case. So we needed a champion,

52
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.159
<v Speaker 2>someone to come in and fix this ridiculous law. And

53
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 2>there is nobody who is a bigger champion for protecting

54
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 2>kids than a supermom herself. She's from the great Douglas

55
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>County that I call home, and she's on the phone

56
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>with us right now. Her name is Representative Brandy Bradley. Brandy,

57
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 2>thanks for joining us, Thanks.

58
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 4>Shorge, thanks for having me, and thank you for your

59
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 4>advocacy on this. Still I appreciate it.

60
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh listen, you did all you and Regina English, by

61
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>the way, by partisan bill that you guys offered. You

62
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>guys did all the heavy lifting on this, and you

63
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 2>didn't just throw a bunch of words on paper and

64
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>send it on to be voted on by the committee.

65
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 2>You offered stakeholders an opportunity to weigh in on this effort,

66
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>talk about what it took to get to the place

67
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>where we had this hearing back on Wednesday, March the twelfth.

68
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 4>Yes, we've been stakeholdering all summer long, all the way

69
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 4>through until Wednesday. You know, it was my pre file bill,

70
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 4>and that means you're supposed to hear it within the

71
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 4>first forty five days of the legislative session. Unbet to me,

72
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 4>the Democrats were playing dirty behind the scenes, filing extensions

73
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 4>without my without me knowing that they were doing. It

74
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 4>didn't get hard until well past the first forty five days,

75
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 4>and they were stacking the deck with criminal defense lawyers

76
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 4>and public defenders who testified that this is not fair

77
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 4>to criminals to have indeterminate sentences for raping children. Just

78
00:03:59.360 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 4>not fair.

79
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Talk about the timing of when the chairman of the

80
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Judiciary Committee, Hobby or Maybray, called this bill to be heard,

81
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>because in my opinion, as the outsider guy looking at this,

82
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 2>and I've been in the capital billion times over the

83
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>last twelve fifteen years, there's something to this timing that

84
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 2>was designed to keep the media from reporting on it.

85
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, sure, I mean we didn't start. Judiciary Committee started

86
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.920
<v Speaker 4>at one point thirty and you know we had a

87
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 4>bill before.

88
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 5>That would have had all of you guys testifying on this,

89
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 5>and we.

90
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 4>Wanted to make sure that the rape victims were allowed

91
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 4>to speak. And my bill didn't even start testimony until

92
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 4>about nine thirty that night, went until three o'clock in

93
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 4>the morning. Some people were trying to testify at one

94
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 4>thirty AM. And I just want a disgrace to the

95
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 4>victims of rape in our state. It's just truly, that

96
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 4>is the most offensive thing to me that we've done

97
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 4>to the people of Colorado because I've been the legislator.

98
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>They were successful, though, and they're successful not only in

99
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>killing the bill. And we'll talk more about the substance

100
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 2>of that hearing, because I thought it was telling, but

101
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>also in keeping the media from focusing really any attention

102
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>on this beyond what we could do to try to.

103
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Get attention to it.

104
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>There were four bills that day, and I remember, you're right,

105
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>we tried to schedule this hearing multiple times and it

106
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 2>kept getting bumped.

107
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 3>I remember that.

108
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>But there were four bills to be heard that that afternoon,

109
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 2>starting at one point thirty Two of the bills had

110
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>ten witnesses. One bill had two witnesses. Your bill had

111
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 2>fifty witnesses. So who do they delay until nine pm?

112
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>You and the fifty witnesses like, is this normal?

113
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's normal when the Democrats don't want to have

114
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.279
<v Speaker 4>blood on their hands from children being raped in the

115
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 4>state of Colorado. And let's talk about the media. Why

116
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 4>didn't the media show up? We put out all kinds

117
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 4>of editorials we put out, we did i'm announcements. I

118
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 4>tagged them in several of my tweets. You know, they

119
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 4>respond Kyle Clarksons to respond to my tweets. So why

120
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 4>didn't he show up? Why did he? He said that

121
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 4>I hypothesize about his daughter being raped when I asked

122
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 4>him if he would want his child rapists to go

123
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 4>to jail, and he uses terms like that. They don't

124
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 4>want to report on the Democrats. They're three little democrats

125
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 4>who are you know, increasing crime in our state, increasing

126
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.399
<v Speaker 4>lawlessness in our state. They want to protect them.

127
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 2>We're talking with Douglas Counties Representative Brandy Bradley, who championed

128
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 2>a bill along with a Democrat, by the way, Legislator

129
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Regina English from down in El Paso County.

130
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 3>Is that right she called Roado Springs area.

131
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 4>Yes, she is.

132
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And you guys both gave impassioned testimony on behalf

133
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 2>of this bill, and I remember listening to Representative english

134
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Is at the end too, before the actual comments by

135
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>the committee members.

136
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 3>But I got to be part of this.

137
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>I got to sit in there and watch some of

138
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 2>the hearing, but not all of the hearing. What were

139
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>some of the highlight slash lowlights that you recall from that?

140
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 4>I think there was a lot of low lights. I mean,

141
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 4>I think the you know, not allowing victims to have

142
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 4>their impact statement finally that have not seen their offenders

143
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 4>go to jail and have criminal defense attorneys.

144
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 5>Actually say that offenders.

145
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.879
<v Speaker 4>Would rather go to jail because probation is just so

146
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 4>hard for them. You're talking about sex offenders of children.

147
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 4>Closing statements from Democrats saying that they wouldn't wish rape

148
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 4>on anyone, even their child rapists. They you know, because

149
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 4>they're all victims, right, they all become victims of everything.

150
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 4>That's what Democrats do so well, and that they wouldn't

151
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.639
<v Speaker 4>want their child rapists to be raped in jail. That's

152
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 4>a life sentence for them. And I said, well, what

153
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 4>about the life sentence of the child that gets raped?

154
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.920
<v Speaker 4>And one said indeterminate studencing isn't fair two people. One

155
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 4>said that there's a higher recidivism rate if you tenancies

156
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.959
<v Speaker 4>people to longer sentences of jail, jail time. I'm just ridiculous,

157
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 4>unfactual statements made by attorneys that are not protecting the

158
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 4>children of Colorado. Are crime rate is suit the roof

159
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 4>where the thirdly safe state? Where number four highest state

160
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 4>for rape, ten highs for trafficking, eight highest for violent crime.

161
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 4>And these soft on crime legislators continue to put the

162
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 4>children of Colorado in unsafe situations. And it's discussed me.

163
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 2>The comments that were made at the end, and I

164
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>went back and listened to This was a long hearing, right,

165
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I listened, and I'll go ahead and say the names.

166
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.199
<v Speaker 2>I know that they're your colleagues out there, but Representative Lorena,

167
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I think it's Lorena Garcia, Is that right?

168
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

169
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.559
<v Speaker 2>She basically gave a pitch for ending prison for any

170
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:40.639
<v Speaker 2>offender because she claimed that prison was torture because of

171
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 2>the potentiality for rape within prison. And she didn't think anybody,

172
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 2>under any circumstances she could ever vote to send them

173
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>to be tortured. And I thought, so, I guess that's

174
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>it not just child rape, but maybe murder, armed robbery,

175
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 2>all these other assaults. Nobody should ever go to prison ever,

176
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>because we can't have the victimizers run the risk of

177
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>being victimized.

178
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 4>Kurk, she's an abolitionist. She is going to turn victims

179
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 4>into criminals. Essentially, she will continue.

180
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 5>Down this role until people in Colorado wake up and

181
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.799
<v Speaker 5>get rid of these people that fill vacancies.

182
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Their progressive communists is what they are.

183
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>There was a comment that I heard during the closing

184
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.320
<v Speaker 2>comments that are representatives get to talk about just how

185
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 2>difficult this decision is. And it was the woman from

186
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Larimer and I cannot remember her last name, but at

187
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:42.440
<v Speaker 2>one point she says, I don't support this bill because

188
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to cause more trials and longer

189
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.519
<v Speaker 2>trials because victims will be forced to undergo psychological exams.

190
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I went back and listened to it twice. I'm like,

191
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 2>what are you talking about? I mean, you can't force

192
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.559
<v Speaker 2>a victim to get a psychological exam. And how would

193
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 2>mandate reading prison for child rapists make trials longer than

194
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 2>they would be already?

195
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Brandy.

196
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 2>There were some comments during that hearing where I thought

197
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:14.799
<v Speaker 2>these people should not be em empowered to vote on legislation.

198
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 2>They shouldn't be empowered to vote on anything.

199
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, that was a former judge, Cecilia Espinoza. I mean,

200
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.440
<v Speaker 5>most of these people are they're either judges, criminals, defense attorneys,

201
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 5>or attorneys. So these are the people that are just

202
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 5>ciding who gets to go to jail and who doesn't,

203
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 5>and are deciding on public safety in the state of Colorado.

204
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 2>There was another comment. I remember Maybury doing his comments

205
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 2>at the end of this. At the end of this

206
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>and if can you stay on for another segment, by

207
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the way, Brandy, absolutely, yeah, because I want to talk

208
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>to you about some other things going on there.

209
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

210
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 2>But one other comment that I'll leave before before we

211
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 2>come back and take you, Maybury says, and I quoted

212
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>him in an upcoming column in the Gazette. He says,

213
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 2>I think that our system of sentencing is broken. I

214
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 2>think child rapists have two short sentences in many cases,

215
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and I think the people that visit this kind of

216
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>injury on kids ought to be punished.

217
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 3>And then he also voted to kill your bill. I mean.

218
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 2>You have to listen to it with alcohol in your

219
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.559
<v Speaker 2>hand to appreciate just how crazy this is I'm speaking

220
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 2>with Representative Brandy Bradley.

221
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 3>She's going to stick around for us through a break.

222
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 2>We're going to come back talk a little bit more

223
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>about this, some of the craziness from defense attorneys that

224
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>testified before I did, and then we're going to get

225
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 2>into what's going on with the rest of the legislatures.

226
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Stick around at George Brockler on The Dan Kapla Show.

227
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 6>And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

228
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 2>It brought up Brandy Bradley because I was going to

229
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.799
<v Speaker 2>try to sing along with Journey because it's awesome, but

230
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.639
<v Speaker 2>then there's that like thirty seconds, you know, like Wayne's

231
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 2>World stuff before you get to let's say.

232
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm talking about, keep going.

233
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>George Brockler filling in for Dan Caplis at least until

234
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>they yanked the FCC license. At the end of this segment,

235
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I am joined again by Representative Brandy Bradley from the

236
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>fight in Douglas County contingent and the legislature.

237
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.600
<v Speaker 3>We're talking about.

238
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.440
<v Speaker 2>A bill that I don't know of a more common

239
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:21.600
<v Speaker 2>sense bill that people outside of the legislature.

240
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Would go, How can that not be the law already?

241
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 2>And it was a bill that would have mandated prison

242
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 2>for child rapists because they can get probation right now, Brandy,

243
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 2>when you sat there and listened to the testimony of

244
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the defense attorneys, were you struck by the amount of

245
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>empathy they seem to be trying to create.

246
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 3>When I remember a couple of them going, you.

247
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Know, it's going to be very, very difficult to talk

248
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 2>with these accused child rapists about the fact that they

249
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 2>may just end up in prison if a jury convicts them.

250
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.480
<v Speaker 2>And I looked around the room, like, what about the

251
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:57.080
<v Speaker 2>children they rape?

252
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, where are we?

253
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

254
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 4>I think it was such a slap in the face

255
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 4>of the victims that came to testify. It made my

256
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 4>blood boil everything. I think I had to sit on

257
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 4>my hands and tell you the truth, George.

258
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I think that there was something.

259
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.159
<v Speaker 2>If you listen to the comments between the Democrats on

260
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the committee and the Republicans, it was so night and day.

261
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 3>I remember Rep.

262
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Kelti said, it blows my mind that we're even having

263
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.519
<v Speaker 2>to debate this. You know, soaper comes on and says

264
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 2>the stuff we've heard here today destroys the soul, and

265
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 2>it just kills your soul. But something and you and

266
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.799
<v Speaker 2>I have talked about this. Something that I thought was

267
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 2>maybe foreshadowing for the future was Jarvis Caldwell, who says

268
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>at the ends of his comments, I have no doubt

269
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 2>that if this were on the ballot, it would pass easily.

270
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.399
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's probably true.

271
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I would say this would be a ballot initiative

272
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.879
<v Speaker 4>that would pass overwhelmingly. I think the people of Colorado

273
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 4>when I tell people this that this bill was killed

274
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 4>Democrats and Republicans unaffiliated, they are mortified. Not when you say,

275
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.240
<v Speaker 4>not only can you rape a child once and get

276
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.279
<v Speaker 4>probation seventy percent in fact get probation, but you can

277
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 4>rape ten children, ten different children, one time and get probation.

278
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 4>Let that be very clear, right, you can rape ten

279
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.159
<v Speaker 4>different children one time and get probation in our state.

280
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.879
<v Speaker 4>How horrific? Where do we live that in the United

281
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.399
<v Speaker 4>States of America ten children can be raped and their

282
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:38.000
<v Speaker 4>offender get probation. I have no words.

283
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Here's a fitting I think conclusion of this, at least

284
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I hope, and that is there are things going on

285
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes that I think could lead to this

286
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 2>ending up on the ballot. The great coincidence for us is.

287
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.080
<v Speaker 2>It will be on the November twenty, twenty sixth ballot,

288
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 2>along with every member of that Judiciary Committee who voted

289
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.279
<v Speaker 2>against it. And I just wonder if that w make

290
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>it a little more awkward to pitch their constituents on. Yeah,

291
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I was in favor of probation for child rapists, but

292
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.159
<v Speaker 2>I'd sure love to go back to the capital.

293
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.279
<v Speaker 4>Well, I promise you I will use every penny that

294
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.799
<v Speaker 4>I have to make sure our flyers in their districts

295
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.080
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that their constituents know that when we

296
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 4>vote for our constituents, we don't vote personally. When Lorena

297
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Garcia says I can't stand knowing that my child rapists

298
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.440
<v Speaker 4>would go to jail, maybe be you know, suffer child rape,

299
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:32.159
<v Speaker 4>she's voting for the eighty thousand or so people she represents.

300
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 4>She's not voting for her personal opinion. She should ask

301
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.519
<v Speaker 4>the people that she represents how they feel about it,

302
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:42.399
<v Speaker 4>And I guarantee you it's a dissurface of them and

303
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.759
<v Speaker 4>they would want her voted out for that comment.

304
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>You are right, they are activists, so they are not representatives. Look,

305
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.600
<v Speaker 2>in the remaining time that we have represented Bradley, what

306
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.159
<v Speaker 2>is left of this legislative session. First, when's that day

307
00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>that we can wake up the next morning? Go, my god,

308
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.080
<v Speaker 2>they can't do any more damage. And what do you

309
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 2>have left to try to accomplished between now in that day?

310
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, we forty seven more days to destroy

311
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.840
<v Speaker 4>all of their horrific policies or make them feel the

312
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.039
<v Speaker 4>worst pain that they can ever bear in their lives.

313
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.919
<v Speaker 4>Long bill's coming up. We've got a plan to You know,

314
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 4>they don't like sitting there, George. You've seen Chad Clifford

315
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.000
<v Speaker 4>on Netflix during the gun bill. And let's talk about

316
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 4>that for a few minutes. Rep. Morrow On something's playing

317
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:26.519
<v Speaker 4>around her phone.

318
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:26.919
<v Speaker 3>Rep.

319
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Past Will doing color by numbers. Like when we're talking

320
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.320
<v Speaker 4>about defending your Second Amendment rights, the Democrats are either

321
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.039
<v Speaker 4>not in the room or they're playing on their phone.

322
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 4>They're not representing the people of Colorado. They're stripping your

323
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 4>Second Amendment right to buy another gun by making you

324
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 4>jump through eight hoops and god knows how much regulation

325
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 4>and these on top of it, and they're watching shows

326
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 4>on Netflix.

327
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:54.759
<v Speaker 3>Do we know what show that he was watching?

328
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, maybe he should be watching a dateline or something

329
00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 4>like that.

330
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Do you have any bills left? To go through.

331
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.000
<v Speaker 7>No, they've killed them all.

332
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 4>They made it when I posted on my social media

333
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.279
<v Speaker 4>account the five pediatricians that say it's okay to transgender kids.

334
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.000
<v Speaker 4>They publicly setified and I made it very clear to

335
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 4>the people of Colorado. These are these five pediatricians that

336
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 4>say it's okay to lie to your children. They made

337
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:20.880
<v Speaker 4>it very clear they were going to kill my bills,

338
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 4>and they have done so since.

339
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 3>Look one other bill you were in there when they don't.

340
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it was yours, but.

341
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 2>It was the bill that said, hey, if you've been

342
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>convicted of a violent crime within the last two years

343
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 2>and you commit another one, you can't get a PR bond.

344
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:36.960
<v Speaker 3>And they killed that bill too.

345
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Like what I who should not get PR bonds? Who

346
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 2>should go to prison anymore? I mean, this is going

347
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to become escape from New York.

348
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, George, when we are at the third

349
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 4>lea safe stay, we had told Californias to hold our biller.

350
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.720
<v Speaker 4>We had sold New York hold our beer. We had

351
00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.519
<v Speaker 4>called Illinois.

352
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.119
<v Speaker 2>Hold our beer, will show you how to ruin a

353
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 2>state in the city represented Brandy Bradley, Thanks for giving

354
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 2>us so much time.

355
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Great talking with you.

356
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.359
<v Speaker 2>I will talk with you again in the county when

357
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.440
<v Speaker 2>we come back. Miranda divine all about HEGSEP and signal

358
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.279
<v Speaker 2>and war plans. Oh my, George Brockler on the Dan

359
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Kapla Show.

360
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.640
<v Speaker 6>You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

361
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.279
<v Speaker 8>Mister President, you asked about lessons. I think there's a

362
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.240
<v Speaker 8>lot of the lessons flat of journalists in this city

363
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.640
<v Speaker 8>who have made big names for themselves making up lies

364
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 8>about this president, whether it's the Russia hoax or making

365
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.240
<v Speaker 8>up lies about gold Star families, And this one in particular,

366
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:49.119
<v Speaker 8>I've never met.

367
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Don't know, never communicated with.

368
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.960
<v Speaker 8>And we are and we are looking into and reviewing

369
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:55.799
<v Speaker 8>how the heck.

370
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:56.599
<v Speaker 3>He got into this room.

371
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 8>But I'll tell you what the world owes President Trump

372
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 8>of favor. Underbiden, global shipping was shut down, Penfrick attacks

373
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:09.160
<v Speaker 8>months between them, are destroyers being fired upon dozens of times.

374
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 8>President Trump took decisive back to the passion with his

375
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:16.880
<v Speaker 8>national security team, took out the head missile leader, knocked

376
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:20.920
<v Speaker 8>out missiles, knocked out headquarters, knocked out communication sites.

377
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.960
<v Speaker 3>And for once, as.

378
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.119
<v Speaker 8>We hear, as you all hear from every one of

379
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.480
<v Speaker 8>our allies, thank God for American leadership again.

380
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.599
<v Speaker 3>Thank God for American strength.

381
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.640
<v Speaker 2>George Brockler back with you on the Dan Kaplis Show.

382
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Unless you have come out of a coma recently or

383
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 2>been released from a hostage situation, you know that there

384
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:48.240
<v Speaker 2>was some controversy that has blown up today involving the

385
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, a chat on signal about

386
00:19:54.240 --> 00:20:00.119
<v Speaker 2>some attacks in Yemen, and the unintended inclusion of a

387
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>reporter in those back and forth. There's no better person

388
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.920
<v Speaker 2>to have on to help make sense of all this

389
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.480
<v Speaker 2>for us than the Great Miranda Divine. She is the

390
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:12.359
<v Speaker 2>author of a billion different things, including two books.

391
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 3>You've heard of, called The Big Guy and Laptop from Hell.

392
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 2>She has an accent that screams Biloxi, Mississippi.

393
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.720
<v Speaker 3>But she's here with us today on the Dan camplush

394
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:20.960
<v Speaker 3>ol Branna, thanks for joining us.

395
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 7>I thanks, George.

396
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Great to be with you.

397
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Is it Biloxi? I think it's somewhere else. I think

398
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.079
<v Speaker 2>it's some other part of the world. Bring us up

399
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.599
<v Speaker 2>to speed. There's just been some stuff that has broken on.

400
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Laura Ingram, I know that Waltz had taken responsible. Can

401
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:37.079
<v Speaker 2>you bring us up to speed? What happened, and where

402
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.000
<v Speaker 2>are we with this?

403
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:43.680
<v Speaker 9>Well, I think that Mike Waltz appeared on Laura Ingram

404
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:46.319
<v Speaker 9>shown Fox just a few minutes ago, and he gave

405
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.000
<v Speaker 9>a pretty good account of himself. You know, I took

406
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:53.160
<v Speaker 9>responsibility so that it was a mistake. However, he still

407
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:58.480
<v Speaker 9>hasn't explained how it was that this rancid anti Trump

408
00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:03.920
<v Speaker 9>journalist Jeffrey gold who works for the most hostile anti

409
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 9>Trump rag in the country, could have possibly been on

410
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 9>anybody's phone contact list that he could have inadvertently slipped

411
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:16.519
<v Speaker 9>into this signal group.

412
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:18.119
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it just beggars belief.

413
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.839
<v Speaker 9>And what Mike Waltz said was that he doesn't know

414
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.240
<v Speaker 9>Jeffrey Goldberg, that Jeffrey Goldberg's number was not in his phone,

415
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 9>that it was supposed to be somebody else. And Jeffrey

416
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.480
<v Speaker 9>Goldberg did mention that there was another person with his

417
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 9>initials JG who might have been intended to be added

418
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:40.720
<v Speaker 9>to the signal list, but that doesn't explain how this

419
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.279
<v Speaker 9>other person JG got to be associated with Jeffrey Goldberg.

420
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.559
<v Speaker 4>His phone number.

421
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:50.079
<v Speaker 9>And so what Mike Waltz has said is that Elon

422
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 9>Musk has been brought in to do a deep dive

423
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:55.680
<v Speaker 9>on the tech and to get to the bottom of

424
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:02.000
<v Speaker 9>who actually added this guy to the group and how

425
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:05.640
<v Speaker 9>that phone number, if it was inadvertent, happened to get

426
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:09.240
<v Speaker 9>onto that person's phone or into their contact list. And

427
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:13.279
<v Speaker 9>now Mike Waltz said that he has full faith in

428
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 9>the staffers that were involved, and because it wasn't all

429
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:21.839
<v Speaker 9>just cabinet members. There were eighteen people and half of

430
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.519
<v Speaker 9>them were staffers, So he says, an NSC staffers. Now

431
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:27.440
<v Speaker 9>we know that there are you know.

432
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:28.599
<v Speaker 7>CIA.

433
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.119
<v Speaker 9>And other Pentagon holdovers, some from the Biden There were

434
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.000
<v Speaker 9>about one hundred and fifty of them. He fired several

435
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.200
<v Speaker 9>dozen of them, which means there would be still some left.

436
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 9>So you know, you have to be really very careful

437
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.759
<v Speaker 9>about this because you can't just write it off as

438
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:51.319
<v Speaker 9>a mistake and an accident and an embarrassment.

439
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:52.039
<v Speaker 7>Let's move on.

440
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.599
<v Speaker 9>I mean, nothing was damaged, nothing was hurt, but it

441
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 9>just smells so much like those dirty ops that were

442
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.319
<v Speaker 9>against Donald Trump by the deep state in his first

443
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 9>term that all of us who lived through that are

444
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 9>utterly paranoid, and so we need to know. I think

445
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.079
<v Speaker 9>it's incumbent on Mike Waltz to let the public know

446
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.400
<v Speaker 9>who it was and how that happened. And we don't

447
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.240
<v Speaker 9>need to know what was said in the chat or

448
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:24.200
<v Speaker 9>anything else, but how on earth did Jeffrey Goldberg get

449
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 9>into that chat? And Mike Well said that himself, he said,

450
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:31.440
<v Speaker 9>I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but of all the reporters

451
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 9>in Washington or journalists in Washington who could have been in,

452
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.119
<v Speaker 9>he's a guy who's perpetrated the Russia hoax, who lied

453
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:42.480
<v Speaker 9>to the gold Star families. He's you know, the suckers

454
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:46.119
<v Speaker 9>and losers hoax, you name it. And he always manages

455
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.880
<v Speaker 9>to deliver these stories where they do maximum damage to

456
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.319
<v Speaker 9>Donald Trump. This time that hasn't happened. And Trump himself,

457
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:57.799
<v Speaker 9>you know, he was on air today when the cabinet

458
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.799
<v Speaker 9>meeting was televised forual time, and he let Mike Waltz

459
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:04.720
<v Speaker 9>say his piece and then he himself said he wasn't

460
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.920
<v Speaker 9>worried about it. And look, it was a very successful

461
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 9>operation with the hoodies, and this is something that Joe

462
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.720
<v Speaker 9>Biden didn't do, and you know, the President showed strength,

463
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:14.160
<v Speaker 9>et cetera.

464
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:16.160
<v Speaker 7>That's all true, and it was a great.

465
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.720
<v Speaker 9>Operation and we shouldn't make too much of it, But

466
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 9>it seriously can't be allowed to happen that the deep

467
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:28.960
<v Speaker 9>State and their sort of allies in the resistance media

468
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.200
<v Speaker 9>get to infiltrate like they have.

469
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:33.839
<v Speaker 2>I would like to know who the other JG was

470
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:35.559
<v Speaker 2>that was intended, just so that we know who was

471
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:37.440
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be part of this thing. I got a

472
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 2>chance to listen into some of the hearing today by

473
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.920
<v Speaker 2>the Senate Intelligence Committee, and there was some grilling of

474
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 2>all the people you can imagine that were there, including

475
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Tulsey Gabbard and Cash Ptael and others, and this topic

476
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.519
<v Speaker 2>came up. And as you can imagine, if you're on

477
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.640
<v Speaker 2>the far left, this was the greatest breach of security

478
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.839
<v Speaker 2>in the history of all texts. And if you're on

479
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.079
<v Speaker 2>the far right, they treated it as a little more

480
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 2>than someone's Starbucks order, you know what I mean, like

481
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.319
<v Speaker 2>get me a VENTI? Where are we with the information?

482
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:09.799
<v Speaker 2>How big of a deal was this? As we try

483
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to figure out how it happened.

484
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:15.200
<v Speaker 9>It wasn't a big deal at all in terms of

485
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:19.119
<v Speaker 9>the information that was that came out. And you know,

486
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:24.799
<v Speaker 9>quite often journalists are given sort of heads up about,

487
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 9>you know, if there's going to be the president going

488
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.079
<v Speaker 9>to a war zone, or if there's some military action

489
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.200
<v Speaker 9>going to happen, it's embargoed. You're not glad to say anything,

490
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 9>but you're trusted, and so I'm not saying that Jeffrey

491
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.839
<v Speaker 9>Goldberg is a trusted person, but it's not unusual for

492
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.640
<v Speaker 9>a journalist. He says that he knew about the hood

493
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 9>He attack two hours before it happened. I'm not sure

494
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 9>if that would have made any difference. We don't know

495
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.039
<v Speaker 9>everything that was in that group chat, but we do

496
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.559
<v Speaker 9>know that at one point Mike Welt draws everyone's attention

497
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.599
<v Speaker 9>to I think it's called high High Up or the

498
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.400
<v Speaker 9>down low or something. It's another system where they should

499
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:06.640
<v Speaker 9>go and have a look at files and information that

500
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.920
<v Speaker 9>he's put there, which is the classified system. So he

501
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.640
<v Speaker 9>knew to draw a line between classified information and the conversation.

502
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 7>That they were having on signal, which is.

503
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 9>Convenient and is part of the normal way that they

504
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.319
<v Speaker 9>do business in the federal government these days, and certainly

505
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 9>was during the Biden administration. Signal is now. You know,

506
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.960
<v Speaker 9>I speak to most of my sources now who are sensitive,

507
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:38.839
<v Speaker 9>I speak to them on signal or some other encrypted app.

508
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:42.440
<v Speaker 5>And signal is very convenient, and you know, it's.

509
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:46.640
<v Speaker 9>Much safer than having your text messages up in the

510
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:51.400
<v Speaker 9>cloud where Apple just hands them over willy nilly to whoever.

511
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:51.839
<v Speaker 7>Asks for them.

512
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>I've used signal myself for the military and with some

513
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:58.519
<v Speaker 2>other military officers, especially when we go abroad and whatnot.

514
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:01.799
<v Speaker 2>It is a pretty secure method to communication. Miranda Devine,

515
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:04.000
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much for your time and listen. Do

516

<v Speaker 2>you have a big column coming out soon someplace that

517
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 2>people ought to go to Regia.

518
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 9>Yes, New York Post. My next column be on Thursday

519
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.319
<v Speaker 9>on the website tomorrow night, and I'm probably going to

520
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 9>write about this topic right.

521
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.480
<v Speaker 3>On, right on.

522
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>That's great, Miranda Devine, thank you for joining us here. Hey,

523

<v Speaker 2>when we come back, we're going to wrap up the show.

524
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 2>A guy named Commissioner George teal about historic news today

525
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 2>coming out of my county, Douglas County. Stick around at

526
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:31.079
<v Speaker 2>George Brockler on the Dan Kapla Show.

527
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:40.960
<v Speaker 6>And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

528
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll be with you here until the end. Historic news

529
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:50.400
<v Speaker 2>coming out of my county, Douglas County, the county in

530
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:53.720
<v Speaker 2>the metro area. To talk about that news. One of

531
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:56.319
<v Speaker 2>the great commissioners. We have three of them out there.

532
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.559
<v Speaker 2>He shares the name of genius. Some of the best

533
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:00.880
<v Speaker 2>looking men in history.

534
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Share it. It's George Teele, commissioner. Thanks for joining us.

535
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.319
<v Speaker 7>Thank you counselor for having me on. That's a great

536
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:09.640
<v Speaker 7>topic to talk about today.

537
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Tell me first before we get into what Douglas count

538
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 2>what is a home rule county?

539
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 7>Well, the home rule county is different than the ordinary

540
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:23.480
<v Speaker 7>county in Colorado, which is statue to our county, namely

541
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 7>that we really have to follow state law to a

542
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.599
<v Speaker 7>tee by being home rule, while we get to chart

543
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.599
<v Speaker 7>the course on how the county is organized, how we

544
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.160
<v Speaker 7>do business in the county, and quite frankly, it gives

545
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.640
<v Speaker 7>us quite a bit of latitude in our current legislative

546
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.880
<v Speaker 7>climate in terms of what laws actually apply to us

547
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.680
<v Speaker 7>or not that are passed by the Democrats in the

548
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:46.720
<v Speaker 7>state legislature.

549
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Now, listen, this has been on the books forever. There

550
00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:52.880
<v Speaker 2>are only four counties in the state that habit that

551
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.400
<v Speaker 2>are for home rule right now, Denver, Broomfield, Pittkin, And

552
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>well is that right?

553
00:28:58.640 --> 00:28:59.359
<v Speaker 7>That is correct?

554
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Why why haven't other cour Why haven't other counties done it?

555
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:04.960
<v Speaker 2>And how hard is it to pull this off.

556
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:10.079
<v Speaker 7>I think the better question is why have Why did

557
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.880
<v Speaker 7>the counties that went home rule? Why did they do it?

558
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:16.319
<v Speaker 7>You know, Broomfield, that's kind of an easy one. They

559
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:20.559
<v Speaker 7>had a community on the border between Jefferson County, Adams County,

560
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 7>and Boulder County, and they fought like, no, we're developing

561
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.279
<v Speaker 7>into our own community. We deserve to organize as a

562
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.519
<v Speaker 7>not only a city, but as a county, breaking away

563
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 7>from Boulder, breaking away from jeffco and Adams County. Weld County,

564
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.920
<v Speaker 7>you know, Weld County was really a case where there

565
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:43.240
<v Speaker 7>was a lot of doubts in the county of are

566
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:46.400
<v Speaker 7>the commissioners actually working in the best interests of the people.

567
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:48.799
<v Speaker 7>So that was kind of a case where the people

568
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 7>got together and wrestled control of the county to create

569
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.559
<v Speaker 7>a county government that was responsive to all the needs,

570
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 7>balanced the what was at the time the big city

571
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.839
<v Speaker 7>of Greeley against what was largely a rural county. Picking

572
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.039
<v Speaker 7>County everything I've seen, they were kind of worried about

573
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.440
<v Speaker 7>the seventy sixth Olympics coming into the area and kind

574
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.119
<v Speaker 7>of taking over their ski industry for a period of time,

575
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.799
<v Speaker 7>which I'm sure, everybody can imagine that would be a

576
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.319
<v Speaker 7>big deal in Aspen. So it was always these as

577
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:26.640
<v Speaker 7>Denver the very first city in county, them asserting as

578
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 7>really the only metropolitan part of the state, the fact

579
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 7>that they were different, they were going to be different

580
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:39.480
<v Speaker 7>from a largely rural, row population state that Colorado was

581
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:43.720
<v Speaker 7>back in the nineteen twenties. So every county that has

582
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:47.559
<v Speaker 7>done it has seen a reason to make the change

583
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:50.759
<v Speaker 7>and go through what is kind of a nine step,

584
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:55.720
<v Speaker 7>very extensive process to go home rule. Today, we feel

585
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.599
<v Speaker 7>like Douglas County is becoming very different than the rest

586
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:04.279
<v Speaker 7>of the Denver metro and how legislation at the state

587
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 7>level is just dominated by Denver and Boulder policies that

588
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:11.799
<v Speaker 7>really don't pertain to us. And so we're going home

589
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:18.559
<v Speaker 7>rule to give ourselves more control about how government lands

590
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:19.559
<v Speaker 7>here in Douglas.

591
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:23.680
<v Speaker 2>We're talking without Douglas County Commissioner, George Teel, you're right

592
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:26.680
<v Speaker 2>about that, but you're also right about something else, and

593
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 2>that is that the Denver Boulder mafia there in the

594
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.880
<v Speaker 2>legislature has also tried to whittle away more and more

595
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.039
<v Speaker 2>local control as it can. There's a bill this session

596
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.799
<v Speaker 2>to try to make it so that municipalities can't have

597
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:44.319
<v Speaker 2>any different penalties, any worse penalties for crimes that they

598
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.200
<v Speaker 2>determined exist than the state does. And so this seems

599
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.799
<v Speaker 2>to me to be both a defensive measure to protect

600
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Douglas County from Denver and the like, but also a

601
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 2>proactive measure to do things that we just think fit

602
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:01.839
<v Speaker 2>our careymore, what are some of those things you think

603
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 2>we'll be able to accomplish as a home rule county.

604
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:09.200
<v Speaker 7>Well, public safety. Public safety is a really great example

605
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.599
<v Speaker 7>right now the sheriffs. Where as an oath, just like

606
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.359
<v Speaker 7>in my colleagues as commissioners did to defend the United

607
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:21.319
<v Speaker 7>States Constitution and the Colorado Constitution and then enforce Colorade

608
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:25.119
<v Speaker 7>of law. In home rule, our sheriff is going to

609
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:28.920
<v Speaker 7>be empowered to not only defend the United States Constitution

610
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:33.880
<v Speaker 7>and the state Constitution, but the charter of Douglas County.

611
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:36.640
<v Speaker 7>In Douglas County, Kellig Frankly, one of the things we're

612
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.880
<v Speaker 7>looking to put in is we can cooperate with Ice

613
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 7>when it comes to immigration issues. And so this crime

614
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:47.000
<v Speaker 7>wave from Trendiagua that we've seen that you know, the

615
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:52.279
<v Speaker 7>liberal sitys all our conservative imagination. But now we're seeing

616
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:58.720
<v Speaker 7>actual convictions, actual charges from these really not just illegal immigrants,

617
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:02.880
<v Speaker 7>but criminal immigrants that have infiltrated into the Denver metro.

618
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:06.680
<v Speaker 7>Give us the opportunity to do that cooperation with ICE,

619
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 7>do that cooperation with federal authorities, and enforce our immigration laws.

620
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:13.240
<v Speaker 7>Quite frankly, what.

621
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 2>About Second Amendment stuff? I know that came up today

622
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:16.279
<v Speaker 2>at the press conference.

623
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's really a poeporie of all these different gun

624
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:25.240
<v Speaker 7>control laws that the state has enacted. You know, some

625
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:28.359
<v Speaker 7>of them did not engage the magic phrase of that

626
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:33.680
<v Speaker 7>they were written for statewide concern. The easy interpretation is, well,

627
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:37.640
<v Speaker 7>then those don't apply to home world communities, home world

628
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.759
<v Speaker 7>counties specifically. And even if the state says no, this

629
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:44.720
<v Speaker 7>is something that is of state concern, well no, that's

630
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 7>not how it's written in the enabling legislation. We can

631
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:53.880
<v Speaker 7>challenge the state. Now. One of the difficulties we've had

632
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:58.519
<v Speaker 7>challenging the state and court is that the court determines, hey,

633
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.920
<v Speaker 7>Dougos County atually an agency of the State of Colorado,

634
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:04.720
<v Speaker 7>you do not have standing right now as a home

635
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:06.480
<v Speaker 7>rural county. We will have no.

636
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.159
<v Speaker 3>But that sounds so good.

637
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:11.199
<v Speaker 2>To me, and I was going to say, Commissioners TiAl,

638
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:12.440
<v Speaker 2>sorry to interrupt you with a runner out of ten,

639
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:14.920
<v Speaker 2>but I was going to say, if you pull this off,

640
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and I think you will, and I'm part of this

641
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:19.920
<v Speaker 2>process at a different level too. I see this being

642
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 2>the toothpaste out of the tube.

643
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Man.

644
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I see a bunch of other counties across the state

645
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:26.360
<v Speaker 2>saying me too, me too. Thank you guys for the

646
00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 2>leadership on this, and I know we'll talk about more

647
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:29.639
<v Speaker 2>about it on the radio.

648
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:31.320
<v Speaker 3>George Teal, thank you so much, my man.

649
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:34.840
