00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.759
<v Speaker 1>edition of The Dank Caplis Show. Please be sure to

3
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,

4
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599
<v Speaker 1>and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every

5
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 1>single day on your favorite podcast platform. The map the

6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>way is that Michael Bennett should not be the governor

7
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>of Colorado, and it looks today as if he's likely

8
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.359
<v Speaker 1>to be the Democrat nominee. He announced today most critically,

9
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>though Joe Negoose was there to back him, and no

10
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Goose could have the nomination if he wanted it. And

11
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 1>so the sense that I get right now is that

12
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 1>this thing is probably wired for Bennett. It'll be interesting

13
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to see if Wiser even stays in the race, because

14
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen now is if it looks like

15
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Bennett is the likely nominee, then at that point you're

16
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>going to have all of these people engaging in body

17
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 1>part kissing to try to position themselves, you know, to

18
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>then be appointed to be Bennett's successor in the US

19
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Senate in the last two years of his term, should

20
00:00:58.759 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Bennett win.

21
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 2>So, if this is.

22
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Headed the direction it appears to be at this point,

23
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 1>and the Democrat nominee is going to be Michael Bennett.

24
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>I think it is fair to say he is one

25
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>of the last people on the face of the earth

26
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>who should be the governor of Colorado. I mean, you

27
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 1>look at this state right now, and you look at

28
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>everything that we're up against, and whoever it is, you know,

29
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>whichever party, you need somebody with ability. You need somebody

30
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 1>who has the skill set and the tools to actually

31
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>go out and get things done. Nobody has ever done

32
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 1>less with more in the US Senate than Michael Bennett. Ryan,

33
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>could you trademark that just in case.

34
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>I like that? Okay, thank you, But it's true.

35
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's a nice guy, and I'm sure he's

36
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>a great dad.

37
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm not saying he's a bad human. I'm saying

38
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>he's one.

39
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Of the worst possible people on earth to serve as

40
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>governor of Colorado. So not only do you have a

41
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>guy who demonstrably he's proven it, he lacks the skill

42
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>set necessary for this job. I consider myself a nice guy.

43
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 1>I consider myself somebody who has some skills. But I

44
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>will not I will not be a small forward for

45
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the Denver Nuggets tonight. I just don't have the skills

46
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>necessary for that job. I would be a better small

47
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 1>forward for the Nuggets than Bennett would be governor of

48
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the state of Colorado. And truly, all of these years

49
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate, what has he accomplished. Not only has

50
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>he not accomplished anything, he hasn't even had any impact.

51
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 1>But beyond that, here's the worst part of all. His

52
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>ideas are horrible. If he was able to accomplish the

53
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>things he believed in, it would be terrible for this day.

54
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>This is a guy Ryan. Shouldn't somebody be able.

55
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>To win the race on this alone? Oh, by the way,

56
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 1>this is all you have to say. At the debate,

57
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe two things right. He voted against the Lake and

58
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 1>Riley Act. I mean, this is a guy who for

59
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>years has done things that have made it very hard,

60
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 1>if not impossible, to deport illegal aliens who commit crimes.

61
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy who wants a wide open border.

62
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy who mocked the idea of Trump's

63
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>wall at the border. This guy is so far left.

64
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 1>And I understand the sheep's clothing kind of thing, but

65
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I think people right now are so upset about what

66
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Bennett and the rest of these lefties engineered at the

67
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>border and all the criminals who float in all the

68
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>TDA stuff in Colorado night right now, because of Bennett

69
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 1>and people like him, I don't think people are in

70
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>the mood for the moderate act from a guy who

71
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 1>has proven through all these things he said and all

72
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 1>these votes he's cast, including against the Lake and Riley Act,

73
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>how radically pro illegal immigrant, how radically pro criminal illegal.

74
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Immigrant he is.

75
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, this guy should not be governor three or

76
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>three someone three eight, two, five five. And then we

77
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 1>get to temperament, right, because you may be saying yourself, well, Okay,

78
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 1>he's got all these bad ideas and he doesn't have

79
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>the skills, and he's really unaccomplished.

80
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>But now he's he's got the right temperament. No, he doesn't.

81
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean this is typical.

82
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 1>This is like Polis, This is like so many of

83
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>these other Democrats, like Bennet himself, all of these people

84
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 1>who live in this media bubble where they're protected, right,

85
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>they're not fighters. They can't take a punch, and so

86
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>if they ever had the ability to, they've lost it.

87
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Those muscles have just gone flabby because they just don't

88
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 1>allow themselves to be challenged. And we've seen that over

89
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 1>and over again with these Colorado Democrats. When they go

90
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 1>out in the real world, they get out, they get

91
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>out of the bubble. So here is Michael Bennett today.

92
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's all controlled right, this is his announcement.

93
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 1>It's not a debate somewhere, and the most mild mannered,

94
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>down the middle reporter you will ever find, Rob Dawson

95
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.439
<v Speaker 1>from the eight fifty KOA Newsroom, asks him a very

96
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>simple questionquestion about a criticism that he's not in the

97
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>state often enough. Now listen for two things. Listen for

98
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the tone and listen for the substance, because on tone

99
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 1>you'll hear him become immediately very agitated over a pretty simple,

100
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>fair question, and then he says stuff that just isn't true.

101
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So he flips out over a question like this.

102
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 3>By your critics say they don't spend enough time in

103
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the state and some people may not really know you.

104
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Do you feel like, I think that's just absolute nonsense.

105
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 4>There isn't anybody who has spent more time in Colorado

106
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 4>that I have as a state wide elected official.

107
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Unbelievable. He gets agitated and.

108
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 1>As that's absolute nonsense, and then says something provably false.

109
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>No state wide elected officials spent more time in the

110
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 1>state than he has just nonsense stuff. So this is

111
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>going to beautiful, right, And that's on the first day

112
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.639
<v Speaker 1>of the campaign, before it even starts to get rough.

113
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:09.759
<v Speaker 2>So listen, I don't.

114
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Want any of these lefties as governor, okay, because their

115
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 1>ideas are so bad. But when you're governor, it's not

116
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>like when you're senator, and okay, you occupy that space.

117
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>And he's a reliable vote for the far left in

118
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>his party and he doesn't have the skills or influence

119
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to get anything done, so he's otherwise kind of a

120
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>waste of space. You know, all right, you'd rather have

121
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a conservative, you'd rather have a Republican. But at that point,

122
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.079
<v Speaker 1>at least he's a lefty who's not doing much harm

123
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>because he doesn't have the skill and ability to But

124
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're governor, the state needs you to be good.

125
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>And if it's gonna be a lefty who's elected, you

126
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>still need somebody who's got the skills and ability and

127
00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>leadership qualities and persuasive a abilities to lead the state

128
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 1>through some of the tough times, disasters, et cetera. That

129
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>every state experience is the last thing you need is

130
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>a guy like this who just doesn't have the skills

131
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and is thoroughly unaccomplished in public life. Three or three

<v Speaker 1>Is that full thing posted?

147
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 5>I need to ask? Yeah, I think he probably is,

148
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 5>but I'll text Robert.

149
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's get that.

150
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Because also Rob told me that as I mentioned that,

151
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Bennett's saying he's going to appoint his successor to the

152
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>US Senate. And this is another reason Bennett should not

153
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>be governor. My lord man, you talk about oblivious, mister oblivious,

154
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not mister oblivious, it's mister rich and titled guy.

155
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Right. So you grow up in d stc.

156
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.399
<v Speaker 1>Among the aloof Democrat elite, and that's how he grew

157
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>up as a kid, and you just get this entitlement attitude.

158
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.639
<v Speaker 1>So think about this full of blank entitlement attitude that

159
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>he has. All Right, he gets elected to a US

160
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Senate seat by the people of Colorado. What did they

161
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>elect him to do? To go work for him? So

162
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>now he's going to spend the next couple of years

163
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>running for governor. But is he going to leave the

164
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 1>US Senate so somebody can be there doing that job.

165
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 2>No, he's not going to do that. He's not going

166
00:08:59.600 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 2>to do.

167
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.120
<v Speaker 1>That because what if he loses the race for governor. Right,

168
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>So he's not going to do that. He's going to

169
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>hold onto that seat while he's back here running for governor.

170
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>And then he tells Rob Dawson says, he said he

171
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Michael Bennett plans to appoint his successor. Think about that arrogant,

172
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>elitist royal attitude. That is, so he's not going to

173
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 1>do the job that people elected him to do. He's

174
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.639
<v Speaker 1>going to hold onto that job so he can then

175
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.519
<v Speaker 1>decide who succeeds him rather than Jared poulis remarkable, But

176
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>that is the attitude and that that should help somebody

177
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>beat Michael Bennett.

178
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>You're on the Dan Kapla Show.

179
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 5>And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

180
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, we all we all have some of our playlists, right,

181
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>we all have that kind of pump up list that

182
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you play when you have to pump up.

183
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 2>And I've got mine for going to court.

184
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 5>And well do you think Michael Bennett plays to get

185
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 5>himself pumped up? Dan?

186
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I said it without my kind of opera, you know,

187
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.639
<v Speaker 1>some kind of I'm going to go with a music thing.

188
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

189
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.320
<v Speaker 1>You talk about a guy who should be the last

190
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>guy to be governor of the state of Colorado.

191
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Right.

192
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine anybody who's more out of touch with

193
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the real people of Colorado than Michael Bennett life experience,

194
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>his beliefs, his attitudes, his ideology. And I understand the

195
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.320
<v Speaker 1>sheep's clothing thing, but but I think a good GOP

196
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>candidate is going to be able to unmass that.

197
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.279
<v Speaker 6>He's not a Native Colorado. Not that you have to be,

198
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 6>but he's not, so he doesn't have that box check.

199
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.559
<v Speaker 6>Other than that too, Dan, you know he comes from

200
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 6>you don't call white privilege. He comes from just privilege

201
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 6>of East Coast Ivy League education, silverspoon in his mouth,

202
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 6>you know, that whole thing.

203
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Which would be absolutely fine with me if he was

204
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 1>one of those people who came from all that silverspoon

205
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 1>privilege and then dedicated their life to helping other people.

206
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:04.519
<v Speaker 1>But he hasn't done that because I got nothing against that. Listen,

207
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 1>no matter what your background is, or who your daddy

208
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 1>was or anything like that, all the matters is what

209
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>you have done with your life.

210
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>And who you are now.

211
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 1>And you know it's true, Ryan, because you and I

212
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>are rock rib blue collar guys, and we are proud

213
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.559
<v Speaker 1>of that upbringing him. We're grateful for it. Wouldn't have

214
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>it any other way. The greatest parents, the greatest upbringing

215
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 1>in the world. But we both know plenty of people

216
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.679
<v Speaker 1>who were born into privilege like that and then they

217
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 1>devoted their lives to helping other people.

218
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Right, he ain't one of those guys.

219
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 1>He is a far lefty of privilege by privilege for privilege,

220
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 1>trying to pull a con on the people of Colorado.

221
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 6>And just look at his resume if you want to

222
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:49.960
<v Speaker 6>look for experience and accomplishments. What happened to the schools

223
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 6>under his watch where he was superintendent?

224
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he is the least accomplished person to ever run

225
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>for that office that I know of, of people who

226
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.799
<v Speaker 1>have had opportunities. I mean, you know, he's been in

227
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 1>the US Senate for years. What has he accomplished? And

228
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>if he's going to run on what he accomplished at DPS,

229
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>might as well forfeit the race to whoever the GOP

230
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>nominee is.

231
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.159
<v Speaker 6>Right, would you say Phil Wiser is more accomplished than

232
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 6>Michael Bennett?

233
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, No, No, I wouldn't in this sense. Okay, listen,

234
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean Phil Wiser has done some things.

235
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 2>He's an impressive.

236
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Cat in his own way in that kind of far

237
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 1>left world. I mean, with Phil Wiser, at least you

238
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 1>can look at him and say, if I remember right,

239
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 1>I think Phil Wiser was a US Supreme Court clerk,

240
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think for a couple of different justices, correct,

241
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 1>And so I would never I would never say phil

242
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Wiser is an unaccomplished person at all, because of you

243
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 1>don't get those kind of jobs unless you have worked

244
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 1>your tail off for it and unless you have some

245
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 1>real high level ability. Now, unfortunately phil Wiser is a

246
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>lefty and so those ideas are bad for this. But

247
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't no, I wouldn't say he's an unaccomplished guy.

248
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>He went out, he worked as tail That was my question.

249
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>He got those jobs?

250
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 6>Is he phil Wiser more accomplished? Does he have more

251
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 6>accomplishments than Senator Michael Oh?

252
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, says yes, infinitely more. Now listen, what has

253
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>he done as AG. He's running as a people's lawyer.

254
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Give me a break. A pro tip to phil Wiser.

255
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.879
<v Speaker 2>You know you want to be the people's lawyer. You

256
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:31.039
<v Speaker 2>want to call yourself the people's lawyer. Go to friggin court.

257
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.720
<v Speaker 1>You want to call yourself the people's lawyer. You gotta

258
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>go to court. You have to man up, you have

259
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to have the guts, you gotta walk through that gate,

260
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 1>and you gotta stand up there in front of the

261
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>world and expose yourself to a big fight.

262
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 2>And go fight for the people.

263
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.159
<v Speaker 1>You cannot be the people's lawyer from the Ivory Tower.

264
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:53.919
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't work that way.

265
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of accomplishment, you have Phil Wiser, an

266
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>accomplished person. As a g I would say not, but

267
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.879
<v Speaker 1>he's an accomplished person.

268
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Michael Bennett's just.

269
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Nobody has ever done less with more than Michael Bennett.

270
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's a great guy, great father, great husband,

271
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 1>all that fun stuff beautiful. I like to think of

272
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 1>myself as a great father and a great husband. But

273
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean I should replace jokicch in the lineup tonight.

274
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you got to have the skill set for

275
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the job and just shockingly unaccomplished. But it does look

276
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 1>like the Democrat establishment is lining up behind him.

277
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 2>So what do you think. How long is Wiser in

278
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the race?

279
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 6>It's looking more and more Dan, Jason Crowe, Joe no Goose,

280
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 6>Mike Johnston, other Democratic dignitaries, if you want to call

281
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 6>them that. In the state of Colorado, they're all lining

282
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.440
<v Speaker 6>up behind Michael Bennett. And I can't think of one

283
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 6>that's come out and endorsed Phil Wiser unless you can.

284
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I think he runs them out. I mean

285
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.039
<v Speaker 1>hard to say, but he may run him out pretty quickly.

286
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 1>And again I go back to I go back to

287
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the the fact that all these Democrats assume that the

288
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Democrat's going to be governor. So they all assume that

289
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Bennett's going to be governor. And they all assume then

290
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 1>that somebody is going to be appointed to fill out

291
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 1>the last two years of Bennett's term, and they all

292
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 1>assume that person's then going to be a US Senator

293
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. So that's this entitlement elitist kind

294
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.519
<v Speaker 1>of assumption you've got going on the left. So Phil

295
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 1>Wiser may very well fall into line with all those

296
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 1>people now who are going to be kissing body parts

297
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to line up to get appointed to Michael Bennett's

298
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:32.159
<v Speaker 1>last two years.

299
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.000
<v Speaker 2>And if you're.

300
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Wiser sitting there right now, you can see the writing

301
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>on the wall here right, and you probably see your

302
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 1>money starting to dry up.

303
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>And then what happens You.

304
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Start to think, well, wait a second, if I pull

305
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>out and back Bennett now, then maybe I'm the lead

306
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.639
<v Speaker 1>horse in that race to get appointed to his seat.

307
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>And so maybe that causes a quick withdrawal here for

308
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Phil Wiser.

309
00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:58.639
<v Speaker 2>And all I'm.

310
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Saying is this is a guy the Republicans can beat,

311
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 1>and they need to beat. I mean, wow, just when

312
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you think it can't get any worse than Jared Polis,

313
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>it could.

314
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>It could in the form of Michael Bennett.

315
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Dan am I mistaken or isn't governor a statewide elective office.

316
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Bennett's even slapping his fellow Senator Higginlooper in the face.

317
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I suspect Corey Gardner spent more time in the state

318
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in one term.

319
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:28.799
<v Speaker 2>That from Peter in the Springs, and he's right.

320
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.679
<v Speaker 1>And this goes to some fun sound you have to

321
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>hear Rob Dawson from the News or mess Bennett a

322
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>very simple, fair question.

323
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey, some people say you're not in the state that much.

324
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Bennett gets agitated with him and then says something provably false,

325
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 1>say they don't spend.

326
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.279
<v Speaker 2>That time in the state, and some people may not

327
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.000
<v Speaker 2>really know you.

328
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 4>You feel like, I think that's just absolute nonsense. There

329
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.559
<v Speaker 4>isn't anybody who has spent more time in Colorado that

330
00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:58.879
<v Speaker 4>I have as.

331
00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:59.240
<v Speaker 2>A state wide office holder.

332
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh mg, And again this is like the first day

333
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 1>of the race, eighty degree day, beautiful Denver.

334
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing. Bennett can't take a.

335
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Punch, None of these democrats can. I'm talking rhetorically of course, right,

336
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.119
<v Speaker 1>because they've lived in this protective media bubble where no

337
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>criticism is allowed, no tough questions.

338
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Are allowed, etc.

339
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sure he plans to go through this race

340
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the exact same way, just insulated by the Colorado media,

341
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 1>all of his money, everything else. But again, and I'd

342
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>like to know from somebody literally, Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter.

343
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Has anybody ever done less with more than Michael Bennett?

344
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:42.720
<v Speaker 2>What is he actually accomplished?

345
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 1>And governor a hands on job, Right, You've got a multitask,

346
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.519
<v Speaker 1>you got a lot to deal with, You've got these

347
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:51.200
<v Speaker 1>crisis you've got emergencies, you've got statewide emergencies.

348
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:56.359
<v Speaker 2>What has he ever accomplished? You're on the Dan Kepler.

349
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:08.039
<v Speaker 5>Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

350
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Thing Wired, and that he's going to be their nominee.

351
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And I say to you, he is one of the

352
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.279
<v Speaker 1>last people in America who should be the governor of

353
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the great state of Colorado. And truly ask yourself this, literally,

354
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>who has ever done less with more than Michael Bennett. Hey,

355
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.279
<v Speaker 1>let's go to the VIP line and welcome Congressman Jeff

356
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Heard back to the show.

357
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Congressman. How you doing, my friend?

358
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:31.559
<v Speaker 7>Hey Dan, greeting from Rifle.

359
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, boyd, what a beautiful day there. Huh.

360
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 7>It's gorgeous out here on the western slope. I got

361
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.599
<v Speaker 7>back home late last night, and I've already been up

362
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:42.680
<v Speaker 7>in northwest Colorado today in Massa County and making my

363
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 7>way back home. But it's gorgeous. It's this is the

364
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 7>real Colorado out here in the west.

365
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 6>Man.

366
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:49.559
<v Speaker 2>It's unbelievable, isn't it.

367
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>We have this little cabin I go to to prepare

368
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.920
<v Speaker 1>for trials, and I've been up there all week until

369
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.359
<v Speaker 1>last night, and it was so hard to leave because,

370
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>as you know, spring is sprung right, and so the

371
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 1>elk are like making their way up to the cabin

372
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 1>with every bit of melting snow, just looking for the

373
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>new grass. And it's just so incredible. But nice to

374
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.160
<v Speaker 1>be at a breakaway from that.

375
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>To spend some time with us.

376
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 1>So you made news during the week talking about tariff,

377
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.200
<v Speaker 1>So give everybody, if you would, your take on teriffs.

378
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.119
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. So, Dan, first of all, I fully support President

379
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:28.200
<v Speaker 7>Trump's efforts to onshore domestic manufacturing, primarily the critical manufacturing

380
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.519
<v Speaker 7>that's essential for economic security, for national security, beating China,

381
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:35.480
<v Speaker 7>growing American jobs, making sure that other countries aren't discriminating

382
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 7>against us when it comes to buying American goods. But

383
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 7>I'm a constitutional conservative, and so under Article one, Section

384
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:43.640
<v Speaker 7>eight of the Constitution, it's.

385
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.559
<v Speaker 3>Clear that Congress has the tariff.

386
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:47.319
<v Speaker 7>Power, and so I have some legislation that would just

387
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:51.319
<v Speaker 7>ensure Congress has a role when it comes to implementing

388
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.359
<v Speaker 7>tariff policy and making sure that we do it strategically

389
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:57.359
<v Speaker 7>and thoughtfully in a way that benefits America. So that's

390
00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 7>probably what folks have been seen in the news, but

391
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.559
<v Speaker 7>it's part of a broader agenda that we're working on

392
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:05.599
<v Speaker 7>dan with the President, with Republicans, delivering on the things

393
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 7>that we promised when we were running, and I'm excited

394
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 7>to be a part of it, and we're making good progress.

395
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, everybody takes an old poll of the Constitution, right,

396
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.279
<v Speaker 1>and so everybody's going to act in accordance with that.

397
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 1>But as you've acknowledged, the president's not acting unconstitutionally. I

398
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:24.079
<v Speaker 1>believe at this point Congress has ceeded certain power, so

399
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.640
<v Speaker 1>as I understand, So could you explain to folks kind

400
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.839
<v Speaker 1>of how presidents from both parties ended up with this

401
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:30.839
<v Speaker 1>tariff power.

402
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 7>Well, there's lots of different provisions in federal law that

403
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 7>where Congress has farmed out the tariff authority. The specific

404
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.599
<v Speaker 7>law that the president is using is the International Economic

405
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 7>Emergency Powers.

406
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Acted in nineteen seventy seven.

407
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:51.799
<v Speaker 7>And that is a statute that allows the president to

408
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.480
<v Speaker 7>address certain situations. And one of the things I'm looking

409
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.799
<v Speaker 7>at from my perspective of the member of Congress.

410
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.319
<v Speaker 3>Is just making sure that when the President is Actress.

411
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.759
<v Speaker 7>As an authority understatutory law, that Congress has delegated that authority,

412
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 7>and some of the stuff we're seen now may go

413
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.319
<v Speaker 7>beyond that, and I just want to make sure that

414
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 7>one of the ways that we address the abuses that

415
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 7>are happening comes with congressional authority. And so that's what

416
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.960
<v Speaker 7>my statute would do, would just restore that proper balance

417
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.200
<v Speaker 7>with the legislative branch, consistent again with Article one, Section

418
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 7>eight of the Constitution, which is pretty clear that these

419
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 7>powers are with the legislative branch.

420
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Jeff heard our guests, and then Congressman how would

421
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.680
<v Speaker 1>that work as a practical matter, would would every tariff

422
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.920
<v Speaker 1>then have to be approved by a majority vote in Congress,

423
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 1>would the Senate have any role?

424
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:39.079
<v Speaker 2>How would all that work?

425
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.079
<v Speaker 7>Well, the way the legislation that we're looking at is contemplating,

426
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:46.079
<v Speaker 7>and as you know legislative processes, this is just the

427
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:48.960
<v Speaker 7>start and so it's subject to change through the legislative process.

428
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 7>But it would do two things fundamentally, well three things.

429
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.480
<v Speaker 7>First of all, if there's anti if there's dumping, if

430
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:58.839
<v Speaker 7>another country is dumping it's good the products into our country,

431
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:00.119
<v Speaker 7>then the President congestion.

432
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 3>Latterly take action. Congress just delegates that.

433
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 7>The second thing that would do is it would just

434
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:10.519
<v Speaker 7>require the President to notify an individual sorry, Congress, it's

435
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:13.039
<v Speaker 7>implementing an individual teriff or set of tariffs.

436
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.519
<v Speaker 3>And the third thing that would do is it just

437
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 3>bese Congress the.

438
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.359
<v Speaker 7>Ability within a sixty day window to look at those

439
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.279
<v Speaker 7>tariffs and determine if they're consistent with the strategic interests

440
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.279
<v Speaker 7>of our country. And again that's something that I take seriously,

441
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.319
<v Speaker 7>and to me, this isn't a political issue, Dan, it's

442
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 7>something as a constitutional conservative, you know, I think Congress

443
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.240
<v Speaker 7>is sometimes given away too much of its power and

444
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:36.480
<v Speaker 7>we need to make sure that we do our job

445
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 7>as legislators. And this is consistent with the promises I

446
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.640
<v Speaker 7>made when I was campaigning protect the Constitution and.

447
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 3>The people of the third Congressional District.

448
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Jeff heard our guest, and what do you think

449
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the vote would be right now in Congress on the

450
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 1>president's current tariff moves?

451
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:55.680
<v Speaker 7>Well, I think it depends on what part of the

452
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.440
<v Speaker 7>tariffs you're talking about, Dan. Certainly when it comes to China,

453
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 7>I think that would be pretty overwhelming. We need to

454
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:06.079
<v Speaker 7>disconnect ourselves from that country. Their ability to choke us

455
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.720
<v Speaker 7>when it comes to not only manufacturing but also critical

456
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:10.240
<v Speaker 7>minerals is dangerous.

457
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:11.160
<v Speaker 3>It's scary, I'll tell you.

458
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 7>As a member of Congress now and seeing some of

459
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:15.839
<v Speaker 7>the things that I see even in my committee that

460
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.000
<v Speaker 7>you wouldn't think are specifically related to China, like natural resources,

461
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 7>you just realize what a critical choke point China is

462
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.319
<v Speaker 7>and how they can basically, you know, put their hands

463
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.759
<v Speaker 7>around our throats when it comes to critical manufacturing. So

464
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:31.279
<v Speaker 7>with respect countries like China, Dan, it would be overwhelming,

465
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 7>I would imagine.

466
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you wish your hope so right, because I mean,

467
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:36.759
<v Speaker 1>you think about everything you just said, which is true,

468
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and then on top of that, China is conducting chemical

469
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 1>warfare in my view, against our country by this flow

470
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of fentanyl. To me, that's a form of chemical warfare.

471
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:48.440
<v Speaker 1>So I am glad to hear you say.

472
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:49.680
<v Speaker 2>That, and listen.

473
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I respect the courage it takes to do

474
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing right now. I happen to personally believe

475
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that Trump is a master at using leverage to create

476
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>deal making opportunities. And it's going to be rough, but

477
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>America is going to come out far better off for

478
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the long term because of what he's doing. But it

479
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:10.279
<v Speaker 1>takes courage to stand up as you are and say, hey,

480
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, my view of the Constitution is wait a second,

481
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>this needs to be with Congress. So no, I appreciate

482
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you having the conversation.

483
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 7>Well thanks, Dan, And you know, look, it's interesting you

484
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:25.119
<v Speaker 7>make news when you have you know, when you disagree

485
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.240
<v Speaker 7>with somebody and something, at least a.

486
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Particular point of it.

487
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 7>But on the vast majority of things, I think you

488
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 7>look at the votes that I've taken, Dan, when it

489
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.319
<v Speaker 7>comes to some during the border, you know, keeping men

490
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:36.799
<v Speaker 7>out of women's sports, all of those things. I've been

491
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:39.759
<v Speaker 7>a consistent conservative and advancing the president's agenda and all

492
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 7>the things that we as Republicans promise when we were running.

493
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't think there is any doubt about that.

494
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 1>But hey, appreciate the time today and hope you enjoy

495
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.880
<v Speaker 1>this beautiful spring weekend.

496
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:51.480
<v Speaker 7>Thanks so much, Dan, take care and hello and all

497
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.400
<v Speaker 7>your listeners. I hope they have a great weekend as well.

498
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, my friend you take care. That is that

499
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Jeff Hurt. So, yeah, it's going to be.

500
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Interesting to see where that goes long term.

501
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:04.359
<v Speaker 1>If Congress is going to take back more of the

502
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.279
<v Speaker 1>tariff power. My guess is that it probably depends on

503
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 1>how this all plays out, right, And I think this

504
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:13.279
<v Speaker 1>is all going to play out very well, and then

505
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.920
<v Speaker 1>there will not be the will in Congress to take

506
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 1>on President Trump on this. And it'd be interesting to

507
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:24.839
<v Speaker 1>see where President Trump came down on all of that.

508
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's say, if Congress says, hey, we want more of

509
00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 1>this back whatever. I haven't heard him speak to that.

510
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I've just seen him use the power that he has

511
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.599
<v Speaker 1>been given and I think he's using it very effectively.

512
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 2>And the beautiful thing about this.

513
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Ryan, right, it's just like sports. At the end of it,

514
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.519
<v Speaker 1>you point to the scoreboard, that's right. And listen, the

515
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>end of it isn't each day in the stock market, right,

516
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 1>So the day it went up, you know, twelve percent

517
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.279
<v Speaker 1>in the Nasdak, you don't point to that day and say, see,

518
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we're right. We want you point to that day and say, Okay,

519
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 1>this is a positive.

520
00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Indicator along the way.

521
00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:01.519
<v Speaker 1>But the scoreboard that's going to matter is going to

522
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:05.000
<v Speaker 1>be the scoreboard after this deal with China is cut,

523
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and there will be a deal with China cut. Yeah,

524
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:09.480
<v Speaker 1>there's no doubt about that.

525
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.079
<v Speaker 6>The Trump administration reportedly is waiting for China to call

526
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.160
<v Speaker 6>them that the Trump administration doesn't want to initiate that call,

527
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:17.480
<v Speaker 6>but however it gets there. I'm with you, Dan, You

528
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.200
<v Speaker 6>and I have been on the same page throughout this,

529
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 6>which is we are willing not only to give Donald

530
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:23.720
<v Speaker 6>Trump the benefit of the doubt, but to trust him

531
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 6>on this because he's been so successful before, because he

532
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:28.359
<v Speaker 6>knows business so well.

533
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:28.960
<v Speaker 5>The art of the deal.

534
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.160
<v Speaker 6>Literally that the political capital he has spent here, I

535
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:35.079
<v Speaker 6>think it is well invested, u pun intended, and that

536
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.160
<v Speaker 6>there will be a return on that investment that you

537
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:37.680
<v Speaker 6>talk about.

538
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.480
<v Speaker 1>To me, it'd be crazy not to trust him on this. Right,

539
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:43.359
<v Speaker 1>because everything you just said. But then you look at

540
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 1>his motives, right, and we all know how Trump is

541
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>driven to win, and he's not going to launch something

542
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.720
<v Speaker 1>like this unless he's very, very confident he has a

543
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 1>plan that's going to succeed for all of America. He

544
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:03.680
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't jeopardize himself that way. He wouldn't jeopardize his legacy

545
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that way, certainly, not after everything that he's been through.

546
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:09.720
<v Speaker 2>And then you look at.

547
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:13.279
<v Speaker 1>His history, his history of success in his first term,

548
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:17.079
<v Speaker 1>you know with economically obviously COVID upended things at the end.

549
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.640
<v Speaker 1>But I just have every reason to believe one thing

550
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:22.759
<v Speaker 1>for sure, And I don't think there's any logical argument

551
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.359
<v Speaker 1>against this that I've seen. Anyway, America is going to

552
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:28.799
<v Speaker 1>come out in a better place then it went into

553
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:33.119
<v Speaker 1>this fight, right, It couldn't get much worse than where

554
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:34.759
<v Speaker 1>we're at going into the fight. We're going to come

555
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>out in a better place. The question is how much

556
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:39.359
<v Speaker 1>better and how do you quantify it?

557
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:40.960
<v Speaker 2>In at the end, but we're going to come out

558
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.319
<v Speaker 2>in a better place. You're on the Dan Kapla.

559
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:52.440
<v Speaker 5>Show and now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.

560
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Kid Me Wow, I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

561
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Three or three someone three eight two five five the

562
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>number text d an five seven seven three nine. A

563
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:06.960
<v Speaker 1>really important day politically because Michael Bennett announced no big

564
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.200
<v Speaker 1>deal that was expected, But what was really important was

565
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Joe Negose was there. So it's clear now as we expected,

566
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>no Goose not getting in the race. So it appears

567
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 1>this thing is probably wired for Bennett. So how quickly

568
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 1>then does Wiser get out? Because he's going to hope

569
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.119
<v Speaker 1>to be among those considered to be appointed to Bennett's

570
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Senate seat if Bennett's elected governor. And then that brings

571
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:34.400
<v Speaker 1>us back to Michael Bennett. And truly, truly, he is

572
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.559
<v Speaker 1>one of the last people in America who should be

573
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>elected governor of Colorado. I mean ask yourself this, I

574
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:46.119
<v Speaker 1>mean literally, who has ever done less with more all

575
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:48.799
<v Speaker 1>these years as a US Senator, the power of that platform,

576
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.559
<v Speaker 1>everything else, what has the guy accomplished? He just he

577
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the skills to be governor. He doesn't have

578
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:59.160
<v Speaker 1>those abilities. He doesn't have the ability to be impactful,

579
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:01.519
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have the ability to lead, he doesn't have

580
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:03.799
<v Speaker 1>the ability to get things done. And I don't care.

581
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously, I don't want any lefty in that office.

582
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:09.319
<v Speaker 1>But the job a governor is different. You have to

583
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:12.400
<v Speaker 1>have those skills for this state to be able to function,

584
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's got none of them.

585
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:16.400
<v Speaker 2>He's proven he has none of them.

586
00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>And then today he kept for those people say, well,

587
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>at least he has a mild temperament. Really, I mean,

588
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:26.359
<v Speaker 1>today he's questioned by Rob Dawson from our newsroom, and

589
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Rob's the most down the middle, level headed journalist you're

590
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna find. And he asked ben At a simple question, Hey,

591
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:35.720
<v Speaker 1>there's some criticism. You haven't been in the state that much.

592
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>And then bet it becomes a little irritated with him,

593
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.920
<v Speaker 1>but more importantly, just kind of panics and says something

594
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 1>provably like looney and false, say they don't send it.

595
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:49.359
<v Speaker 5>Up fine in the state, and some people may not

596
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 5>really know you.

597
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:53.240
<v Speaker 4>If you feel like I think that's just absolute nonsense.

598
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:58.440
<v Speaker 4>There isn't anybody who has spent more time in Colorado

599
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:01.240
<v Speaker 4>that I have as a statewide elected official.

600
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 1>Appear really, I mean, that's just the kind of like

601
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.720
<v Speaker 1>crazy talk, right. But the more important point is because

602
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:09.519
<v Speaker 1>we can almost speak at times just one little question

603
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:13.279
<v Speaker 1>like that, and he's not able to handle it now

604
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that that's not a guy who can be governor. So yeah, yeah,

605
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.480
<v Speaker 1>there there is an opportunity here three or three someone

606
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>three eight two five five takes d A N five

607
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>seven seven through nine. Dan, I no longer live in Colorado,

608
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>so I no longer care. A mistake there, big mistake

609
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>because listen, no matter where you live in this country,

610
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>if a Republican can break through and win in the

611
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Colorado governor's race or the Colorado US Senate race, that

612
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 1>has an impact to certainly a mega impact in Colorado,

613
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>that'd be tipping point, but that has an impact beyond Colorado.

614
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Dan, Heidi Ganal should run again. Yeah, Heidi is awesome.

615
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:52.519
<v Speaker 1>And I expect we're going to have multiple really impressive

616
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 1>people in that GOP primary for governor.

617
00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Dan.

618
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Did you know Michael Bennett's deputy superintendent when and Bennett

619
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:04.960
<v Speaker 1>was a DPS. Tom Boseberg is Judge Bosberg's brother. It's

620
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a big club.

621
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 2>And you ain't in it. That's from Alexa.

622
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, you are right about I'm not in it, and

623
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:14.119
<v Speaker 1>really nobody else is. And that's the thing is is

624
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Bennett is just a true elitist. He's a true East

625
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Coast elitist born into it. Now, as we talked about earlier,

626
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 1>I never judged somebody on the circumstances they're born into.

627
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I judge them on what they've done with it.

628
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 1>So you got some people who are born into this

629
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 1>high society, silver spoon elitism.

630
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Thing, who go on to dedicate their lives.

631
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:37.960
<v Speaker 1>To serving others and helping others, And I admire that

632
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the heck got them. And then you've got other people

633
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.640
<v Speaker 1>who don't. And that's where we get Michael Bennett. And

634
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.039
<v Speaker 1>you come back to how could you accomplish so little?

635
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:52.759
<v Speaker 1>How could anybody with the US Senate seat so many texts?

636
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Today?

637
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Ryan, people fired up on a beautiful Friday. Dan Bennett

638
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>cannot govern without Schumer telling them.

639
00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>What to do?

640
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.960
<v Speaker 1>It was it? Electing Bennett to become of Colorado is

641
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.559
<v Speaker 1>like electing Schumer to be governor of Colorado?

642
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Right or AOC?

643
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:09.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what's the difference, though it'd probably be more Schumer?

644
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:11.039
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

645
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 7>Dan?

646
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Dan for governor? Dan?

647
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Nobody can debate you. Please come dice him up, Dan,

648
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Please earn for governor. You will kick his blank.

649
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:17.559
<v Speaker 7>Dan.

650
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I would be proud to vote for you as our

651
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>next governor. Thank you, No, code, Dan, Dan, Ryan, where

652
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:25.680
<v Speaker 1>can I find Michael Bennett interview with Rob Dawson. We

653
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:28.240
<v Speaker 1>need to find it right because Rob says Bennett also

654
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>said he's going to be the one to appoint his

655
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>successor in the US Senate that fill that last two

656
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>turns talk about entitled talk about entitlement, Ryan Verry smart,

657
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>very smart, but just talk about this elitist entitlement. That

658
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and again, the people elected him. The people elected him

659
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:50.279
<v Speaker 1>to serve as US Senator. But he's not going to

660
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:52.839
<v Speaker 1>leave that job, not to run for governor. He's going

661
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep that job even though he won't be able

662
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to do it. It just goes to that whole entitlement thing.

663
00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:57.880
<v Speaker 7>Dan.

664
00:32:57.920 --> 00:32:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Months ago, I texted you, this is your time governor

665
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Capitalist sounds great to me.

666
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:02.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm again volunteering my help. Don.

667
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:06.799
<v Speaker 1>I think you've Donna. That is very very kind, Dan.

668
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Are you making a surprise announcement Monday? I thought of

669
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Mike Kaufman for governor, but you could do it. I'm

670
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.039
<v Speaker 1>not making a surprise announcement Monday, but thank you for

671
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:16.079
<v Speaker 1>thinking about that.

672
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Dan, that's a fantastic idea. You need to run for governor.

673
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.200
<v Speaker 1>You have more pride in this state than half the

674
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>people here. And that's coming from a guy who's a

675
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 1>sixth generation Colorado and my great great great grandparents got

676
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:32.039
<v Speaker 1>here in eighteen sixty. We had a dairy farm where

677
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:35.599
<v Speaker 1>the polo club is right now. Wow, incredibly, those are

678
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:39.119
<v Speaker 1>lucky people, Dan, Are there any good Republicans running for governor? Or?

679
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Is this just a lost cause?

680
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.799
<v Speaker 1>I expect there will be many good Republicans running for governor,

681
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:44.119
<v Speaker 1>don't you?

682
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:47.279
<v Speaker 5>Ryan Scott Bottoms is running. I remember the house.

683
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.279
<v Speaker 2>I bet there are a lot of talented people is running.

684
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 5>Those are two that I know of.

685
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:55.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think there'll be a lot of impressive people.

686
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:58.039
<v Speaker 1>It might be one of those races where somebody wins

687
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the nomination with a relatively small percentage of the vote

688
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:04.799
<v Speaker 1>because there are so many good candidates. But I think

689
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that there will be. Hey, have a tremendous weekend, my

690
