And while all 26 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.879 of this, you know, this national level politics is going on, 27 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.760 I'm still Dad, which means that yesterday afternoon, after a 28 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.640 whole bunch of phone calls, I still had to tear 29 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.280 apart the dishwasher because the handle broke two weeks ago. 30 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:35.840 And I got to go to Washington, d C. For 31 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.920 two weeks starting tomorrow for freshman orientation. And I'm going 32 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.840 to be in trouble if I leave a non function dishwasher. 33 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.079 Behind its such a How old are the kids eight 34 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.560 and twelve? Do they get it? Oh? 35 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.359 They do, okay, okay? And so how did they react 36 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.120 to the win? And I know this was drawn out 37 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.519 just because of the how close the race was and 38 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.840 all that, but how did they handle all that? 39 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.359 I mean, they've been some of my biggest campaigners. They 40 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.200 knock on the doors with me, they go to the 41 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.599 political events with me. When we're driving around, we talk 42 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.159 about this race. We talk and they get it because 43 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.159 they've also seen you know, my oldest son is old 44 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.039 enough to remember when I was still in the military. 45 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.719 Both of them remember law enforcement, and so they understand 46 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.879 you know, from their their you know, eight and twelve 47 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.479 year old perspective, what's going on in in the country 48 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.919 and the state and the community. They understand, you know, 49 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.879 basic things about crime and why it's wrong to have 50 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.360 a soft on crime approach that results in Colorado being 51 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.199 the third most dangerous state of the nation, the number 52 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.360 one state of the nation for bank robberies. Almost ten 53 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.120 percent of bank robberies that happened across the country are 54 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.560 happening right here in Colorado. And so they get it. 55 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.759 They understand why it's important. And of course, you know, 56 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.639 they're eight and twelve year olds, they get sick of 57 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.120 it too after a while and they want to go 58 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.159 just you know, play games with dad. But they've been 59 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.599 fantastic along this campaign trail. My wife has been an 60 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.280 absolute rock and just so great. Thankful to everybody that's 61 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.639 supported us along the way and keep supporting us. You know, 62 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.039 the work is just getting started. It's time to roll 63 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.080 up our sleeves and get to work in Washington, d C. 64 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.639 Now and deliver on all of these things that we 65 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.280 talked about over the campaign trail. 66 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.759 Yeah, and that's certainly going to be real important. But 67 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.080 I would expect they're very, very proud of you right 68 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.919 now because that was such a major accomplishment, gab And 69 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.560 and as you know, I mean, one of the reasons 70 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.360 I'm so excited about this is that obviously you're going 71 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:28.960 to be great in the job. And I do think 72 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.280 that matters a lot because I think Colorado, you know, 73 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.400 in significant part because of your win, is maybe some 74 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.479 people are going to give the GOP another look. Right 75 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.560 Obviously they didn't CD eight, which is why you won, 76 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.159 because they gave the GOP another look because of you. 77 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.120 And so now they're looking at some really talented people 78 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.840 in these jobs. And I think you, along with others 79 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.400 who were elected to Congress and some other positions, are 80 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.599 going to are really going to mark the turnaround. And 81 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.960 I think your race in particular gave I think when 82 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.280 history looks back on this, I think your win is 83 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.400 going to be viewed as a turning point for the 84 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.159 GOP in Colorado back toward being competitive statewide, back toward 85 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.879 a level of respect maybe we haven't enjoyed. 86 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.479 For a while. And I think it's a turning. 87 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.839 Point well, and we said that all along throughout the 88 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.560 campaign that you know, Colorado right now, it's been under 89 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.360 one party control for six years. The Democrats have controlled 90 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.000 the House, the Senate, the governorship. You know, they've controlled 91 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.759 seven of the ten members to the US House and 92 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.079 the US Senate from Congress, and that level of echo 93 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.240 chamber and groupthink just leads to bad policy decisions. And 94 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.560 so by flipping this seat, by being able to send 95 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.120 a four to four delegation to Congress for Republicans for 96 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.040 Democrats to Congress from the US House, I mean, not 97 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.959 only does this help us at the national level, And 98 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.199 make no mistake, like Colorado is going to be in 99 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.240 a tremendously important position to be able to benefit from 100 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.519 us slipping lipping this race because of the national attention 101 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.680 that it's brought. So we'll be able to not only 102 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.480 just represent Colorado very effectively at the national level, but 103 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.600 it's also going to help us here in the state level, 104 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.800 drive that pendulum back towards center, help us have better 105 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.360 dialogue at policies at the state level, and get a 106 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.040 little bit out of that one party, far left echo 107 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.839 chamber that's dominated the state for the last six years, 108 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.920 and that unfortunately in large part, has contributed to a 109 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.160 lot of the negative things that we've seen the crime rates, 110 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.680 the cost of living, the fact that, as we saw 111 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.040 a couple of weeks ago, we get international criminal organizations trendy. 112 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.160 Our one is wanting to set up shop in Colorado 113 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.800 specifically because of the soft on crime sanctuary state policies. 114 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.480 And so by being able to flip this seat again, 115 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.279 we drive that pendulum back towards center to a place 116 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.920 of dialogue, of collaboration and conversation, because we're starting to 117 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.160 break down the echo chamber that's dominated state politics for 118 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:58.040 six years now. 119 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.759 Yeah, and in terms of Cape Evans obviously guessing in 120 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.199 terms of effectiveness in DC. One thing that's got to 121 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.000 help is you and Mike Johnson have to be like 122 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.600 best bros right now, right. I mean, you guys have 123 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.839 spent so much time together. He was so fond of you, 124 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.600 so involved in your race. It's got to help to 125 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.560 go in with that kind of relationship. 126 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.800 Again. Colorado benefits from that. I mean, pretty much every 127 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:29.000 national forecaster is saying that when the few remaining uncalled 128 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.120 House races around the country are called, Republicans are again 129 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.959 going to have a very narrow majority in the US 130 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.079 House and there's only I think going to be maybe 131 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.879 four or five seats where a Democrat, excuse me, a 132 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.959 Republican challenger such as myself was able to unseat a 133 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.519 Democrat incumbent. So when we're talking potentially a five seat 134 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.519 majority in the US House, and as one of the 135 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.680 five four or five races where a Republican challenger actually 136 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.759 flipped the seat, that gives a lot of credibility for 137 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.839 to me to be able to again effectively advocate for 138 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.079 Colorado in the eighth Congressional district. 139 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.439 Right, you go in with some hard earned street credit. 140 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.160 I imagine you're going to get a lot of high 141 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.160 fives this you walked into the Capitol and head down 142 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.480 those hallways. But yeah, I think there are so many 143 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.240 reasons you won. But there are also the reasons I'm 144 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.519 so optimistic about where this is going. 145 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.600 You know in CD eight, you know. 146 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.079 Year after year after year, because you were so skilled 147 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.040 out there in the campaign trail. I mean, the job 148 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.480 you did in that debate, the KUSA debate, when they 149 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.439 come out, Man, they were blistering you. Kyle Clark was 150 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.360 blistering you, and you just kept your composure. You kept 151 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.759 it together. You were calm and super sharp and quick 152 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.639 at the same time mentally and you were just able 153 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.560 to parry all of that. Anybody watching that had to 154 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.240 walk away and say this is a special talent. 155 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.959 Well, it was a talent that in some ways was honed. 156 00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.399 Being a police officer for ten years. One of the 157 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.240 statistics I'm most proud of in my law enforcement career 158 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.639 is ten years of being a cop and I only 159 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.759 really ever got into two fights. And that's because I 160 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.759 you know, if I need to fight, I will fight. 161 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.639 But I put an emphasis on communicating, on collaborating, on 162 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.079 you know, as we would say in police lingo, trying 163 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.079 to talk them into handcuffs if you have to make 164 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.160 an arrest, rather than fight them into handcuffs. And so 165 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.279 carrying those just those communication skills to the state legislature, 166 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.959 to Congress and in all of the conversations, I think 167 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.360 is something that I'm going to you know, I'm good 168 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.200 at and I'm going to keep making sure that I 169 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.080 get better at it, because when we have true conversation, 170 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.559 when we have true dialogue and true collaboration, out of 171 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.480 that is where you get the best policy decisions. And 172 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.320 like I said, you know it works on the streets. 173 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.519 As a cop, I don't want to fight anybody. You 174 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.759 wake up sore. There's lots of paperwork. It's dangerous. So 175 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.120 being able to successfully result these peacefully on the streets 176 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.639 through good communication skills, you know, that translates directly to 177 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.679 actually being able to get things done, to be able 178 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.960 to deliver for this district and for Colorado. 179 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.960 In congress Man, that is such a great point. 180 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:07.919 I had not thought of because as you were saying 181 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.440 that gave, I was thinking to my dad. It was 182 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.399 a thirty year Chicago police officer, big tough, strong guy, 183 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.480 worked on the South side of Chicago, and people asked him, 184 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.519 you know, hey, what are you most proud of? And 185 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.159 he said, most proud of the fact I never fired 186 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.200 my weapon. You know, thirty years the most dangerous neighborhoods 187 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.679 like you. He was able to de escalate, manage win 188 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.039 because you guys always have to win, right as cops. 189 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.159 But he was able to do it without ever firing 190 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:35.919 his weapon, which is no knock on the guys and 191 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.919 gals who have to fire the weapon. I'm just saying 192 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.200 that was a point of pride for him, and so 193 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.960 that makes perfect sense where you get this really impressive skill. 194 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.639 But as you know, and I can see, you're already 195 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.960 doing it, which is part of why you're a winner. 196 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.919 You know, the race is on now for the twenty 197 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.559 six cycle in that district. So how can people support 198 00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.279 you as you continue this fight. 199 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:04.320 Again. I mean, it's the same way that we ran 200 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.080 the campaign before. As I'm out at events or on 201 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.759 radio shows like this, or interacting with the community, I 202 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:11.840 need to hear from the community. I can't do my 203 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.559 job as a representative if I'm not getting the real world, unfiltered, 204 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.480 raw boots on the ground, truth about what's going on, 205 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.639 what's happening. So as we get the office up and 206 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.519 running and we start to be able to hire some 207 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.720 of that congressional staff to make sure that we're providing 208 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.080 good services to the constituents, don't hesitate to reach out. 209 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.639 We're here to serve you. That's the job of a 210 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.159 representative to represent the people and to be available and 211 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.480 accessible to the folks in the district. So that's the 212 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.320 first thing, whether you voted for me or not. You know, 213 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:44.480 much like when I was a police officer, nobody cared 214 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.200 what my political party was, and I didn't care what 215 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.039 your political party was. We were there to work together 216 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.480 to solve a problem in the community. And that's my 217 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.159 promise to the folks in this district. Whether you voted 218 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.159 FREMI or not, I'm here to work for you, so 219 00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:58.639 don't ever hesitate to reach out. 220 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.000 Well, both, congratulations and thank you because your win. It's 221 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.360 the biggest win in Colorado since Corey Gardner and it's 222 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.559 going to reverberate in so many different ways. So thank you, Gabe, 223 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.840 appreciate the time today and look forward to what's to come. 224 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.080 Oh, thank you so much. And thank you to again 225 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.519 all of the veterans and all of their families today 226 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.120 on Veterans Day. My wife and I have been married 227 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.039 for fifteen years a little bit more. She was with 228 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.919 me through my entire Army career, and so we know 229 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.679 that our service members serve, but the families serve right 230 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.200 along with them. So thank you to all of the 231 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.440 veterans that are listening as well and your families. 232 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.919 Amen to that. Well, on with the fight and we'll 233 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:34.440 talk soon. 234 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:36.399 Thank you so much. 235 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:41.440 Take thank you. That is Gabe Evans. Wow, big big win. Hey, 236 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.519 when we come back, we'll talk about the effects of that. 237 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.720 Am I right? Is this the turnaround in Colorado? 238 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.639 The Gabe Evans victory what more does the GOP and 239 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.120 Colorado have to do to win and win state wide? 240 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:54.519 You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 241 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.799 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast. 242 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:04.480 Tom, There's been a more perfect guy for a job. 243 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.159 I see you on TV always angry. I see you 244 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.159 touched my front Conne show. I'm angry because I am 245 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.159 angry because I mentioned earlier about thirty one percent of 246 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:14.720 women admitted to being a sexual assault in making this journey, 247 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.759 we handled this administration the most secure border in my lifetime, 248 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.639 and they unsecured it on purpose. 249 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.120 You know, I don't think Trump could be off to 250 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.320 a better start, just in terms of everything, including the 251 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.919 people he's putting together, because he was the first to 252 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.559 tell you right that that is one regret from the 253 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.600 first term was the circus did my words? You know, 254 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.440 just not having the right team and play some good people, 255 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:40.720 but not having the right team. 256 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.840 And wow, it looks like we haven't seen this in 257 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.279 a while. 258 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.720 That year the historian, right, Grover Cleveland, maybe, and how 259 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.960 many years was there between there there's only been this 260 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.240 one other president who served two nonconsecutive terms. But I 261 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.000 think having those four years and time to think about 262 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.679 it and time to think about. Okay, if I get 263 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.360 that next chance, how am I going to nail it? 264 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.919 I think we're watching it unfold right now because Holman, 265 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.440 you've heard by now, obviously is going to be the 266 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.600 borders are and there has never been a more perfect 267 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.879 guy for that job. 268 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.879 And you heard that garbage from ABC News. 269 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.679 At the top the National News cast at the top 270 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.639 of this hour where they completely misrepresent what Trump's about 271 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.960 to do, and they do a whole sky is falling thing. 272 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:30.279 My lord, it's no. They're going to go after the 273 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:34.559 people here illegally who have also committed other crimes while here, 274 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.799 particularly dangerous crimes, and they're going to start there, and 275 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.519 they're going to get those people out of the country. 276 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.159 And anybody would object to that, anybody you would object 277 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:47.559 to that is the worst possible American because anybody who 278 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:51.559 would object to that is somebody who's saying, no, I 279 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.600 want innocent people to be victimized by crime. I want 280 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.960 innocent people to be victimized by crime committed by people 281 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:03.399 who are in the illegally. I mean, that's what they're saying. 282 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.080 But again, that's what these sanctuary city folks are saying. 283 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.799 Who are saying that when somebody's arrested and convicted of 284 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.679 a violent crime, that we should not cooperate with ICE 285 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.000 to get them out of the country. What they're saying 286 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.679 to you is is obviously they're willing to have you victimized, 287 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.000 and that's not acceptable. 288 00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:23.679 Quick chance. 289 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.360 I don't mean for this to be a cheap plug, 290 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:29.080 but if you missed it, I highly encourage you to 291 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.639 go back and listen to my second hour from my 292 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.440 Denver show, Ryan Schuling Live. I had both Ed and 293 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:38.159 Cindy Romero in studio, and these two were victims of 294 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.399 a herrowing experience with trend de Arragua, many of whom 295 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.679 don't have any records because they've never been vetted. 296 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.480 So what are the police supposed to do? 297 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.120 I mean, these are the people Tom Holman is talking 298 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.399 about who need to be targeted, who need to be 299 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.639 removed from this country immediately. 300 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.600 Because if you care about the week and defenseless, you 301 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.039 will want Donald Trump and Tom Holman to succeed and 302 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:03.879 getting criminal illegals out. And then they have other plans 303 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.639 obviously for that really center mainly around self deportation, meaning 304 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:12.559 you know, cutting off taxpayer benefits to folks here illegally, 305 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.879 and then folks will welcome back if they go through 306 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:19.360 the proper process. But this first leg, every decent American 307 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:23.919 should be wholeheartedly behind this first leg. And I'll bet 308 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:27.960 a lot of folks who are here illegally will enthusiastically 309 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.639 endorse what what Donald Trump and Tom Homan are about 310 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.279 to do, which is to get the violent offenders out 311 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.879 and out right away. And I think it's also going 312 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.080 to be enormously popular politically. Eight five zero five A 313 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.799 two five five the number I know how to say, 314 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.519 four zero five. I'm just fighting some kind of crud. 315 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.200 Eight five five four zero five A two five five 316 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.039 The number takes d a N five seven seven through nine. 317 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:57.320 We got a lot to do today started the show 318 00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:58.679 with Gabe Evans again. 319 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.639 I think it's turning point victory in Colorado that gave 320 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:07.240 Evans just one and it should give those who want 321 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.600 to see Republicans rise from the ashes and win statewide 322 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.600 in Colorado a lot of hope. You know, competitive, hard 323 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:18.679 fought district outspent significantly by the Democrat. The Democrat had 324 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.679 a lot of full media backing, and we had a 325 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.679 very very high quality candidate, great campaign staff, really well 326 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.320 staffed campaigned some significant financial support as well, and he 327 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.200 pulled it off. And I just think, and he's a 328 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.240 great candidate, He's going to be a great congressman. So 329 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.320 you combine that with the other folks who won on 330 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.639 the GOP side, and you know, hey, had we had 331 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.440 Jeff Hurd on Friday, and yeh, CD three should be 332 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.240 a cakewalk. But not when Adam Frish has fourteen million 333 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.480 dollars or something. And so that was an impressive wind 334 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:53.679 down there too. Now I imagine Jeff Hurd'll keep that 335 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.200 seat for as long as he wants. And then Lauren 336 00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.559 Bobert outsmarted the Dems and got him to burn a 337 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:04.079 bunch of money races, and the GOP essentially saved a 338 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.119 seat in CD three, and Ryan it just you know, 339 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:09.480 it goes back to my point as we talk about 340 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:14.920 Colorado broader principle here. Venom interferes with brain function. That's 341 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:20.119 a chemical reality. Venom interferes with brain function. Hate interferes 342 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:24.319 with brain function. And the Democrats hate Lauren Bobert so 343 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.799 much they burned all that money in her race that 344 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.440 never had a chance of succeeding money that Thank god, 345 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.920 they didn't shift over and spending CD eight. I'd like 346 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:36.440 to believe Gabe still. 347 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:36.680 Would have won. 348 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.240 Look at everything he did overcome, including a big cash disadvantage. 349 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.000 But and then they burned all that money down in 350 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:46.519 CD three because they loaded it up thinking she was 351 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:47.680 going to be the candidate there. 352 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.599 Nobody's smart enough to think, you know, hey, maybe she 353 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.440 might make a move out of there. So yeah, venom 354 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:53.640 interferes with brain function. 355 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.640 But the GOP now I think better position that it 356 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:01.799 has been since Corey one in twenty fourteen to really start. 357 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:04.720 Making that move back. And hey, everybody online, what I 358 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.559 want to do is make sure you have enough time. 359 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.400 So our first segment with Gabe ran long for obvious reasons. 360 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.880 This is a really big deal. So we'll get back 361 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.720 on our full clock when we come back at four 362 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.359 thirty six, and everybody on the phone lines, we'll get 363 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.880 you on the air. We'll get to our great texts. 364 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.599 But I want to do a lot today. Hey, the 365 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:26.319 Post now wants an independent investigation of Griswold. Is it 366 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.559 all starting to fall apart? For will we get that investigation? 367 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.559 If we do, then my bet is she's probably done soon. 368 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:40.359 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show Podcast's. 369 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:41.440 Gracious, these are the types of groups that you would 370 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:43.519 never have thought that Donald Trump would have gained so 371 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.079 much support among. Eight years ago when he first won 372 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:50.119 against Hillary Clinton, Trump's was the best GOP showing among 373 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.079 eighteen to twenty nine year olds in twenty years. You 374 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:53.400 have to go all the way back to two thousand 375 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.200 and four. How about among block voters, it was the 376 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.279 best performance for Republican candidate for president in forty eight 377 00:18:58.359 --> 00:18:59.720 years since Gerald Ford back in. 378 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.680 Ninth teen hundred and seventy six. And I'm hong Hispanic voters. 379 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.119 The exit polls only go back since nineteen hundred and 380 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:08.640 seventy two. But Donald Trump's performance on Tuesday was the 381 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.039 best for a Republican presidential candidate in. 382 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:13.559 Exit Paul history. 383 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.519 He literally love every bit of that. But let's be realistic. 384 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.240 As I go back to the phone lines, these were 385 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:23.039 Trump voters, right. Donald Trump has given the GOP a chance. 386 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.000 He's opened the door for the GOP. The GOP has 387 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.039 to deliver now because we cannot sit here and assume 388 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.119 that all these extra voters are going to stick around 389 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:34.880 for the rest of the GOP. I think Donald Trump 390 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:36.799 turned out a bunch of people who turned out for 391 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.440 Donald Trump, and the GOP is going to have to 392 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:40.960 earn that ongoing support. 393 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:43.359 One quick question Dan along those lines that I want 394 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.039 to run by you because it blew my mind an 395 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.759 election night. And I have the most respect for Roskamensky 396 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:51.079 over at KOA. But he said, and I quote Ron 397 00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.519 DeSantis or Nikki Haley would have done as good or better. 398 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.119 Than Donald Trump did on Tuesday night. 399 00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.119 Your thoughts not a chance? Not a chance. 400 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.279 And I said, so the run up to the campaign 401 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.799
