Dan maybe joining us, depending 8 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:23.719 on how his workload is going. 9 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.359 I think he's deposing somebody. Isn't that exciting. I'd like 10 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:26.960 to know more about it. 11 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.239 Well, I would want to be on the other end 12 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:28.440 of that. 13 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.439 No, me, neither me, neither Ryan and Ryan. It's great 14 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.159 to be here with you. 15 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.280 I love bantering back and forth with you, and boy 16 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.119 do we have a lot to talk about today. 17 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.320 I think I want to lead with some pretty exciting news. 18 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.960 If you want Donald Trump to be elected president, and 19 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.840 that is rumor is Robert Kennedy Junior is going to 20 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.920 drop out of the race on Friday and endorse Donald Trump. 21 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:51.880 Is that what you're hearing? 22 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.359 It's what I'm hearing. It's what's being reported. 23 00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:57.399 And I got an email notification, Heidi from the Kennedy 24 00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.479 campaign announcing that press conference will be held in Phoenix, 25 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:06.159 Arizona on Friday, and there's an interesting coincidence along those lines. 26 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.519 Here's Fox News a little bit more. They were able 27 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.480 to catch up with former President Trump in Ashborough, North 28 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.359 Carolina while you. 29 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.480 Were out on stage. There's reporting that RFK Junior is 30 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.000 going to drop out of the race by the end 31 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.319 of this week. Have you spoken to him in the 32 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:21.560 last twenty four hours. 33 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.400 I haven't, but I respect him. 34 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.359 I've respected him for a long time. I mean, I 35 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.840 know where he's coming from and it's a little different philosophy. 36 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.959 Very smart guy, however, and I had heard who was 37 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.040 thinking about it for a period of time. But no, 38 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.840 I have not heard this. What you're telling me. 39 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.319 He's going to be in Arizona on Friday. Would you 40 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.280 have him on stage with you at your rally? 41 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.959 Well, I think I'm going to be there on Friday. 42 00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:43.840 We have a big crowd. 43 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.599 I would always be honored to I mean, if he 44 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.280 endorsed me, would I be honored by that? 45 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.040 Absolutely? 46 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.680 Wow, that's great news if you are interested in seeing 47 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.640 Donald Trump as the next president. Ryan actually got to 48 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.959 know Robert Kennedy Junior a bit when I was a 49 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.959 regent at the Universe if Colorado, we held a debate 50 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.159 on the moral case for fossil fuels between Bobby Kennedy 51 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:07.840 Junior and Alex Epstein. 52 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:09.560 Oh, it was awesome. 53 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.000 We had a packed house, probably a thousand people showed 54 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.719 up for it. It was part of a project called 55 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.280 the Free to Be Coalition, where we were trying to 56 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.759 model for young people how to debate in a productive 57 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.879 and collaborative way, a feisty way, but still be civil 58 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:24.439 to each other. 59 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.800 And he was such a gentleman. We had such a 60 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:27.319 good time. 61 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.319 We got to spend a couple of days talking and 62 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.800 chatting and getting to know each other a bit. Our 63 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.400 team and him, and I was really impressed, and the 64 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.159 conversation did veer off into vaccinations and our healthcare system 65 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:39.879 and all of. 66 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:40.439 Those other things. 67 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.919 It's on YouTube still it's pretty fun to watch. But 68 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.039 I think it would be wonderful to hear me out 69 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.520 here to put him in charge of the CIA, who 70 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.319 he thinks killed his father. 71 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:54.039 Interesting. 72 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.479 Yes, there's definitely a cabinet post I think to be negotiated. 73 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.520 And for Nicole Shanahan, I'm not sure she might have 74 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.479 a role. You know, Trump administration as well, But this 75 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.840 is all the Democrats own doing Heidi. They have made 76 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.479 this mess for themselves, first by shutting him out. RFK 77 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:15.159 a lifelong Democrat, his name is synonymous with the modern 78 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.879 Democratic Party, with his uncle and his father of course, 79 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.800 and his other uncle ted. But then also the treatment 80 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:26.360 of both Kennedy and Shanahan by the DNC has been atrocious. 81 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:27.879 They've been underhanded. 82 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.280 Shanahan mentioned that they've been the driving force behind trying 83 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.400 to get RFK removed from the New York ballot, and 84 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.879 there's a lot of animates there. Whereas the RNC and 85 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.879 Donald Trump, they have not waited into those waters. They 86 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.159 have been respectful of the Kennedy Shanahan campaign and that 87 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:44.759 might bear fruit on Friday. 88 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.800 And I believe it's probably a two to three point 89 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.479 offering that comes along with that. What do you think 90 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.319 how much of a bump does he get if RFK 91 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:54.639 Junior comes on board. 92 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:55.879 I don't think it's a zero sum. 93 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.879 In other words, rfk's voters they might have been RFK 94 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.240 or nobody at all, or RFK, but I was between 95 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.000 RFK and Biden, or between RFK and Harris. There's no 96 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.560 way I would ever vote for Trump. So RFK might 97 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.439 have been their off ramp. However, especially in the upper 98 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.000 Midwest states of Wisconsin and Michigan, what we've seen in 99 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:15.759 the polling is that when it goes from head to 100 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.879 head two candidates to the five and the other two 101 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.680 being Cornell Wes jill Stein, we've seen Kennedy take slightly 102 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.879 more away from Trump than from Harris in those two 103 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.439 very important states Wisconsin Michigan. So to your point, I 104 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.680 think I Kennedy drops out endorses Trump, it can only 105 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:33.839 help Donald Trump. 106 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.439 It will only galvanize that coalition. 107 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.959 And I don't think there will be more that would 108 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.920 defect over to Harris if they know the candidate they support, 109 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.240 Robert F. Kennedy Junior is locksteup with Donald Trump and 110 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.120 the rest of this race. 111 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.759 Well, And another point, Ryan, does this help offset the 112 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.680 bump that Kamala is going to get from the DNC 113 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:54.920 and Obama's cheering. 114 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.600 For I mean, that was a terrible I did not 115 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.319 like that speech last night. I know a lot of 116 00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.120 people did, but I. 117 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.720 Thought Michelle and Barack we're very disrespectful, very mean spirited, 118 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.920 and did not did not at all want to bring 119 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.360 people together or you know, bring unity among Americans with 120 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:10.639 that speech, to those speeches. 121 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:11.720 When they go low, we go hi. 122 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.199 Michellez told us right now, I was telling Kelly, I 123 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.199 thought Barack had lost his fastball a little bit. He 124 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.120 wasn't kind of pitch perfect the way we were accustomed. 125 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.160 To him being. 126 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.399 You're right, I think he was petty in a way. 127 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.920 I think there was that petty feel and notion to 128 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.000 how they referenced Donald Trump. There was much more bashing 129 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.720 of him than supporting or trying to define which needs 130 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.879 to be done Kamala Harris and why she's the preferential alternative. 131 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.120 I don't think you can run on Orange Man bad 132 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.560 this time around. Maybe in twenty twenty that worked to 133 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.439 a large extent because of the George Floyd thing and 134 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.079 because of COVID. I don't think that's going to work 135 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:51.839 this time around, not to the degree that they're going 136 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.519 to need it to to push Kamala Harris across the 137 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:55.240 finish line. 138 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.879 Well, where was Kamala Harris last night? Why wasn't she there? 139 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.680 I don't think Tim Waltz was there either, was he No? 140 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.560 And the reporting from Jackie Heinrich of Fox News is 141 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.839 there is a fissure, and it's sizable between Team Biden 142 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.839 and Team Obama, with Kamala Harris kind of caught in between. 143 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.720 So she figured as a sign of respect to Joe Biden, 144 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.920 who was furious at the Obama still, and that's been 145 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.319 reported by multiple sources. They did a little pit stop 146 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.040 in I think Milwaukee. They were in Wisconsin, both Harris 147 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.199 and Walls during the Obama speech. Is the reason given 148 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.120 was that they did not want to disrespect Joe Biden 149 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.480 and inflame those tensions by being present for the speeches 150 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.199 by the Obama So, yeah, that's a party that's really 151 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:35.959 unified right now. 152 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.079 And yeah, I'm sure Harris is really worried about offending 153 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.519 Joe Biden at this point. It doesn't seem like she 154 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:43.199 gives a hoot. 155 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.439 Well, it might be just for appearances, Heidi, You might 156 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.600 be right on that front, that she's just trying to 157 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.519 kind of hold this coalition together. I believe it is, 158 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.199 you know, kind of borrowing from her phrase, you know, democracy. 159 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.600 Is so strong and yet so fragile. 160 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.600 I think the Democratic Party fragile right now, no matter 161 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.800 what show they're putting on. And John Legend's going to 162 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.920 sing tonight, and Bill Clinton's gonna be back and he's 163 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.720 gonna speak tonight, and we know you can do that 164 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.680 impression so well. But they're they're they're giving this show. 165 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.480 But Heidi to me and maybe you agree, that's all 166 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.160 it is. To me, it's a show. We know what's 167 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.240 going on behind the scenes. This is not what you 168 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.920 saw what you experienced at the RNC and Milwaukee. It's 169 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:23.519 not even close. 170 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.319 Oh, that was such an incredible experience. And I want 171 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.040 to I want to talk about one more comment that 172 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.480 Michelle makes before we go to break and it's clip 173 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:31.040 number eight. 174 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.680 If you can tee that up. Oh, this is vicious. 175 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.560 And she has how many multimillion dollar homes? I think 176 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.319 they have four crazy expensive homes around the country, one 177 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.639 in Hawaii, one in Hampton's. 178 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.920 I can't remember where the others are, but check this 179 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:45.560 clip out. 180 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:50.600 My mom, in her steady, quiet way, lived out that 181 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:55.319 striving sense of hope every single day of her life. 182 00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:02.079 She believed that all children, all all people, have value, 183 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:07.360 that anyone can succeed have given the opportunity. She and 184 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.759 my father didn't aspire to be wealthy. In fact, they 185 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.480 were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed. 186 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:21.160 They understood that it wasn't enough for their kids to 187 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:25.199 thrive if everyone else around us was drowning. 188 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.279 I have to say, you know, I think capitalism and 189 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.480 free markets are the number one way to turn around poverty. 190 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.320 In the history of man. Is that correct? 191 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.440 I mean, don't you don't bad mouth the way that 192 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.519 we lift people up in America and that people want 193 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.720 to strive for better. They want to do big things, 194 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.159 they want to have nice houses. 195 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.000 And I don't think it's all about money. I'm an entrepreneur. 196 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.440 It was about creating something really cool and giving people 197 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.519 jobs and creating a business that solved a problem. That's 198 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.080 what I think the American dream is. And she's really 199 00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.240 disrespecting it there. 200 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.960 Well, it just amuses me. You know. 201 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.600 We saw it last night too, with the juxtaposition of 202 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.679 Bernie Sanders. 203 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:06.759 Reeling against billionaires. 204 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.559 But he doesn't say millionaires anymore because he is a millionaire, 205 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.120 because he made money through capitalism, through books that he wrote, 206 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.639 through the grift that he was able to execute in 207 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.480 the twenty sixteen to twenty twenty campaigns. 208 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:18.919 These people are fraudulent, Heidi. 209 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.440 I mean, to a large degree, they have made money 210 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:25.200 off this system. By railing against that very system, and 211 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.879 I don't know how they fool people, but they do. 212 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:27.679 They do. 213 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:29.519 And when we come back, we're going to go to 214 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.320 a break. We're going to have Manny Connell like from 215 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.639 the DNC. How exciting is that going to be? And 216 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.919 we're going to talk to Britta Horne later on with 217 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.440 the call about the Colorader GOP situation. But we've got 218 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.159 seventy five days to go to the election. So this 219 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.960 is Heidi Ganal filling in for Dan Kaplis. We'll see 220 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:45.919 after the break. 221 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.039 And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 222 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.879 Some breaking news into SCENEI writer, now, the job growth 223 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.000 has been far weaker in the US and originally reported. 224 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.440 That is according to new data just coming in this morning. 225 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.639 Let's get right to see. That's Matt Egan. What's the headline, 226 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:04.159 Matt Jim. 227 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:08.720 Eight hundred and eighteen thousand fewer jobs were added during 228 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.639 the period between April twenty twenty three and March of 229 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.799 this year. We were bracing for these revisions to come 230 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.120 out and show that job growth was weaker, and. 231 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.399 That is what we got. This is probably on the high. 232 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:25.159 End of the expectations. Some of the forecasters had been 233 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.440 saying probably around a few hundred thousand jobs. Goldmen Sex 234 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.720 had said maybe up to a million, So this is 235 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.279 on the higher end. We're seeing some of the biggest 236 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:39.320 revisions downward in sectors that include manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, 237 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.360 professional and business services. 238 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:47.360 Ryan, that is unbelievable, like that is a huge, huge issue. 239 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:47.799 For the economy. 240 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.639 Eight hundred and eighteen thousand jobs all in the private sector, 241 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.480 and the worst part of it is that most of 242 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.559 the jobs that have increased are government jobs in the 243 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.679 past year or more, and that it's just a dead 244 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:02.240 weight on the American economy. 245 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.600 It's bad news. It's more government bureaucracy running our lives. 246 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:06.879 It is. 247 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.200 And eight hundred and eighteen thousand, I mean, that's no 248 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.840 drop on the bucket that totally changes the narrative or 249 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.919 the perception of what this Biden economy has done or 250 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.200 pretended to do, or they've tried to champion that it does. 251 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.240 At the DNC this week, adding on to your point 252 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.039 about them being government jobs the ones that have grown, 253 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.559 that is true, but there's also talk that jobs for 254 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.759 illegals are a big part of any number that Joe 255 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.879 Biden might put out there, because they're coming across the border, 256 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.000 they're not being vetted, they're not being paid as much 257 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.840 as an American citizen would have to be paid, and 258 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.879 that is kind of the path at least resistance now 259 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.679 for a lot of people that might be hiring out there. 260 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:49.279 And speaking of illegals, I saw that our least favorite governor, 261 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.360 Gavin Newsom, Well maybe poll Us is up there, but 262 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:57.559 in California, the State Senate Committee has approved illegal immigrants 263 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.919 having zero down payment and zero interest on new homes, 264 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.519 and it looks like it's going to fly through and 265 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.840 get signed by Gavin Newsom. 266 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.559 I mean, if you were trying to ruin California, what 267 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.879 would you be doing differently than Gavin Newsom right now? 268 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:14.039 Not a darn thing. And unfortunately Polus. 269 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.840 Is following his lead and doing most of it here 270 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.120 in Colorado. Talk about bureaucracy, one of the things that 271 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.919 I talked a lot about on the governors in the 272 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.320 governor's race was the growth of bureaucracy here in Colorado 273 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.720 and the size of government. And for pretending to be 274 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.720 a libertarian, freedom loving guy, I think he's done exactly 275 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.080 the opposite. Back a couple of years ago, he'd grown 276 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.159 the government by a third or fourth, I guess it was. 277 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.600 It's probably a third by now, but nothing good comes 278 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.000 of growing our government bureaucracy by that much and just 279 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.360 letting the free market do its thing and let private jobs, 280 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.799 the private sector take care of a lot of what 281 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.080 the government can do very inefficiently. 282 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.679 I think one of the greatest ruses I've seen in 283 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.279 America politics, Heidi was in your race and for Jared 284 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.519 Polis to be presented as what you just described a 285 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.240 libertarian and name only, he's a Lino. I mean, this 286 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:08.519 guy is not in any way shape manner form libertarian. 287 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.519 Like you said, bigger government, that's not libertarian principles. And 288 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.039 then during COVID, if you had libertarian principles, you're not 289 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.879 telling people to wear a damn mask, or calling them 290 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.960 selfish bastards, or trying to shut down churches while pot 291 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.840 shops stay open. 292 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.840 I mean, there's so many things you can point to. 293 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.679 Jared Paulus tries to pull off this charade, and he 294 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.799 goes on Fox News, He'll be speaking tonight at the DNC, 295 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:30.840 and I'll be curious to see what he says. But 296 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.240 what he says in what he does are two very 297 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.440 different things. And we've seen that play out here in Colorado, 298 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.720 and boy has it changed our state. I'm just I 299 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.240 get so heartsick when I see what's happening with crime 300 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.120 and fentanyl. 301 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.080 We're sponsoring as showing up in Fort Morgan of Devastated, 302 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.159 the movie about fentanyl right this weekend. And it's a 303 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.600 really important issue to keep on the front lines of 304 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.039 our conversations about our state and what's happening. And it 305 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.159 ties directly to the border and what's happening with illegal immigration. 306 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:00.600 In the city of Denver. 307 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.200 We've talked about the Venezuelan gang problem here that Kyle 308 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.440 Clark and his buddies. 309 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.000 Don't want to admit. 310 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:10.759 But our lovely Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Zirinsky is keeping 311 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.240 everyone on their toes and keeping the truth out there 312 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:14.440 about what's happening with that. 313 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.159 Brian. We've got seventy five. 314 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:21.440 Days to go until the election, the really, really and 315 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.679 I'm not going to say the most important election ever, 316 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.399 but I'm going to say it's a really important election 317 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.320 for this country and for the future of America. And 318 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.600 we've got two really congressional races here in Colorado. You 319 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.840 know CD four, Lauren's gonna knock it out of the park. 320 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:35.559 Sh'll win that. 321 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.600 Jeff crank down in CD five, he's he's pretty much 322 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:38.879 a lock. 323 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:40.919 He's a good guy. He'll do a really good job 324 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.000 and represent us well. 325 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.320 But we've got CD eight, which gave Evans is running 326 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.679 against Yadire Caraveo, and she didn't even bother to go 327 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.279 to the DNC. 328 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.360 Oh No, she's stayed far far away from Chicago. Like 329 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.120 three senators are also doing. Senator John Tester from Montana, 330 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.720 who's probably going to lose, Senator Jackie Rosen Nevada, isn't 331 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.399 about self? And Senator Shared Brown, Ohio. None of them 332 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.840 going to the DNC. Why not, Heidi? Why not? 333 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.559 It's such a it's such a good representation of the 334 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:09.600 party and their principles. 335 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:10.600 Why wouldn't they want to be a. 336 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.759 Part of it? Think, yeah, be proud right well? 337 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.360 And Ya Darro also voted with Republicans to condemn what's 338 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:17.360 happening at the border. 339 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:18.519 What was that a month ago? 340 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:20.480 This is sheer desperation. 341 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.440 I'm glad you brought that up, Heidi, because I had 342 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.039 that conversation with Gabe Evans. 343 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:25.759 I think he senses. 344 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.799 Politically now, I want to make sure we're always figurative 345 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.120 that there's blood in the water, that there's a reason 346 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.399 why she is panicking. She's not going to the DNC. 347 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.159 She voted Republicans, like you said, on that issue. She 348 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.159 knows she's in trouble in CD eight. And Gabe Evans 349 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.720 is a spectacular young candidate, up and coming Republican here 350 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:43.279 in Colorado. 351 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.399 But I'll tell you what, Ryan, he needs money to 352 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.240 get the job done. I mean, we're up against millions 353 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.960 and millions of dollars that are going to They're going 354 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:53.120 to drop ads attacking Gabe the minute the balance drop. 355 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:54.840 So I know Gabe. 356 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.480 Knows that's coming, but he needs all the help he 357 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:01.000 can get, and I just I strongly suggests people get 358 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:01.720 behind Gabe. 359 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.799 Also, also, we've got to help. 360 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:06.600 Jeff Hurd in Congressional District three, which is Pueblo, the 361 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.240 western slope up to Grand Junction. 362 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.120 Could not be more important to protect that seat. 363 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.919 Especially if Donald Trump gets elected and he doesn't have 364 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.000 the House with him, it's going to be bad times. 365 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.639 It's going to be a bad four years. 366 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.279 That'd be a bad two years for sure, because we 367 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.000 know the first thing that the House is going to 368 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.600 do under a speaker a keen Jefferies, which that's what 369 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.360 we'd be looking at, is probably going to be trying 370 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.159 to in some way impeach Donald Trump or try to 371 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.879 remove him from office, try to obstruct him and his agenda. 372 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.919 There's only one clear path I think here, heiding. I 373 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.799 believe it's an achievable one, and that is Donald Trump 374 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.399 wins the Republicans take the Senate, which I think is 375 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.960 very likely because West Virginia is going to flip and 376 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.799 Montana looks like Tim Sheety's going to win that. Right, 377 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:53.960 there is the ballgame in the Senate. The House is 378 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.320 a murcier deal. It's harder to predict. Like you said, 379 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.720 you know, the eighth district here in Colorado is a 380 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.639 literal coin flip, and the third is tough Adam Frish, 381 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.639 He's got a lot of money behind him. He nearly 382 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.440 upset Lauren Bobert in the last election time around. So 383 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.319 you're right, these are very important congressional races here in 384 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:10.759 our state. 385 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.240 Well, one thing we could talk to Britta Horn about. 386 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.599 She lives in Route County, so she understands kind of 387 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.759 the western slope the attitude of the voters there. And 388 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.559 one thing I'm hearing from the groups that we help 389 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.680 out on the Road to Red Project is that there's 390 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.480 a big split with the Ron Hanks and Stephen Varilla 391 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:31.400 folks that supported them in the primary and Jeff Herds folks. 392 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.680 And I'm really really concerned that we're not going to 393 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.400 show up to vote. 394 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.920 Republicans aren't going to show up to vote because. 395 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.279 They didn't get their candidate, and it's going to be 396 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:40.920 bad news. 397 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.519 We need ninety nine to. 398 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.160 One hundred percent of Republicans to show up in that 399 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.039 district to vote, to donate to work for Jeff Heard's campaign, 400 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.319 to help him go up against the Hollywood money. This 401 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.880
