Now, that event was you. 13 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.960 Need to know that other than Michael Brown, who I 14 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.679 wake up and cover his show for because I get 15 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.880 paid to do it, I actually showed up to that event, 16 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.119 not getting paid to do it, but because I wanted. 17 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.560 To be there. Heidi, That's how much it meant to me. 18 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:47.240 And it takes a lot to get me up that 19 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.520 early because I'm a night ahul. 20 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.920 Well, thank you me too, Ashley. Right, So, when Myra 21 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.840 asked me if I would kind of take over that club, 22 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.520 it's an amazing club. It's been around for over ten years, 23 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.159 started as the arapa Ho Men's Breakfast Club, and then 24 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.840 it became the Arapaho County Republican Breakfast Club and now 25 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:09.439 it's the South Metro Republican Breakfast Club. It's super fun. 26 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.480 We had over one hundred people there this morning. We 27 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.359 act it was packed and we had Britta Horn come 28 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.040 in and talk to us about what's going on in 29 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.640 the party. In our first thirty days, it's been a 30 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.280 little spicy, lots of action there and just had a 31 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.760 great time this morning. So anyone who wants to join 32 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.280 just bought me an email at Heidi at Rockymountain Voice 33 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.599 dot com and I'll get you the information. But Ryan, 34 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.959 oh my gosh, I've been out for a month recovering 35 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.640 from breast cancer surgery and I'm fine. They caught it early. 36 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.439 I'm going to be just dandy, so happy to hear 37 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:42.959 that news. 38 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:47.000 Thank you. But man, it's a brutal surgery, and yeah, 39 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.319 I don't do well sitting on the couch for a 40 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:49.879 month now. 41 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:51.000 We do not imagine. 42 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.799 I drove my family nuts. I think of my friends. 43 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.840 But my kids loved it because we got a beautiful 44 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.920 meal almost every night from those meal trains. People do 45 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.200 I have the best community around me. 46 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:04.920 It's nice. 47 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.840 But now they're like, where's where's the food? What happened? 48 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.360 I want to stay on the meal train. 49 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.599 Yes, let's stay on the meal train. I'm like, you 50 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.240 guys know, and I'm a terrible cook. I'm married one 51 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.360 of the best cooks, Jason. I was going to say, 52 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.639 Jason and GQ, that's some solid stuff, I know, but 53 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.599 it's not like he wants to come home and cook. 54 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.199 Hey, I got a big question. Yeah, So I'm going 55 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.680 to the Rockies game tonight.

But I know that there's GQ in 58 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:35.680 the ballpark. 59 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.919 Right, Yes, there is, and they have the best mac 60 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.639 and cheese with brisket. 61 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.039 Or pulled pork on it.

She 86 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:41.479 was riled up like swow little early for this energy, 87 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:42.039 but she had it. 88 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.919 That's what we intend to do with those breakfast meetings. 89 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.639 We got to get everybody keyed up, ready to fight, 90 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.280 ready to get in the game. We've been doing a 91 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.919 little thing on Twitter in this little community I have 92 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.599 called Colrad's Road Back to Red and it's grown to 93 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.319 almost three thousand people in this community. And we do 94 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.039 fight back in five what's something you can do to 95 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.599 fight back in just five minutes and we post in there. 96 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.199 Lots of people post in there all throughout the day. Hey, 97 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.879 here's you know, a piece of legislation you can write 98 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.560 an email to in five minutes. Here's something you can 99 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.279 pop off on social media in five minutes. Here's a 100 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.920 call you can make in five minutes. It's super easy 101 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.680 and cool and would love to have you guys join us. 102 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.000 It's at Heidigenals my Twitter and then you just go 103 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.399 to my profile and you have to ask to be 104 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.839 in the community because we don't want any you know, 105 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.399 far lefty crazies in there. So not that we can tell. 106 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.800 Sometimes we can tell, Oh yeah, okay, Ryan, yep, I 107 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.560 told you earlier on your show. As I popped on 108 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.079 for a few minutes, there was a really cool article 109 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.519 in the Denver Gazette, And I don't have the actual article. 110 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.399 I didn't have time to pull it, but I pulled 111 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.480 a tweet that kind of reviewed it, and it talks 112 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.920 about how Colorado has changed I think in the last decade. 113 00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.920 I don't know the timeframe, but these stats are shocking, 114 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.720 Like if every candidate that's going to run for governor, 115 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.120 US Senate, attorney general, any Republican that's running for anything 116 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.199 in Colorado should pull up this list and here, here's 117 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.160 your game. Here's like, here's what you should be talking about. 118 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.199 Just to give you a little taste. We used to 119 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.839 be in the top five states for economic performance. We 120 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.279 are now in the bottom ten. Colorado ranks among the 121 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.920 least five affordable states for housing in the whole country. 122 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.800 The state ranks as the sixth most regulated in the US, 123 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.519 and of course corresponds with slower business growth and innovation. 124 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.519 It also corresponds which with a Phibbian guy named Jared 125 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.160 Pulus who says he's very libertarian. How can you be 126 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.560 libertarian and be running the sixth most regulated state in 127 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.160 the country. That blew my mind. 128 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.480 Talk about a Lino, right l O. 129 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:54.199 I love that. 130 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.720 I haven't heard that a libertarian name only, But it's 131 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.839 not even that. After he signed that gun grab bill, 132 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.240 the most anti libertarian bill ever signed by any governor, 133 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:05.399 including Gavin Newsom. 134 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.839 So no, buddy, you don't get to call yourself libertarian anymore. 135 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.920 Yeah, I think with that bill and if he signs 136 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.519 or let's go into law thirteen twelve, everybody must know 137 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.240 about thirteen twelve at this point, but it is the 138 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.319 most horrible bill that goes after parental rights and is 139 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.639 terrible for our kids and families, and it just I 140 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.199 think it lands on the governor's deyt today. I'm so 141 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:28.839 curious to see what he's going to do with that. 142 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:29.680 What do you think he does? 143 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:31.519 I don't. 144 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.959 I think he punted his entire political career with the 145 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:34.600 gun grab bill. 146 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:35.839 So what does it matter at this point? 147 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.720 I don't know what he's trying to prove, or who 148 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.560 he's trying to impress, or who. 149 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:40.439 He thinks he's playing to. 150 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.399 But this is such a losing battle nationally. And I've 151 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.920 said this time and again, and I got this information 152 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.439 from Lori Gimmelstein. By the way, Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, 153 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:55.199 they built a little poison pill into thirteen twelve, knowing 154 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.360 that it could be circumvented, it could be overcome with 155 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.199 a petitioner initiative on the they made it so you 156 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:02.040 can't do that. 157 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.120 To safety clause. 158 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.839 There you go, Yes, Why would they have to do that, Heidi? 159 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.160 If it's such a good bill that's popular with the 160 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.240 majority of Colorado's. 161 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.439 I don't know. But it's so devious. This stuff is 162 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.120 so bad. It's making national news it's putting Colorado on 163 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.160 the map as now not just an abortion tourism state, 164 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.279 but a trans tourism state. And oh my gosh, you 165 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.480 better not have kids in this state. That's how bad 166 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.000 things are. Which here's another lovely stat along those lines 167 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.680 since twenty seventeen, from twenty seventeen to twenty twenty three, 168 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.360 sixty five percent increase in abortions in Colorado. We've gone 169 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.120 from eighty eight hundred and twenty seventeen to over fourteen 170 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:44.600 thoy in twenty twenty three. 171 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.079 That is terrible. 172 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.959 Colorado's fallen from a top ten state for in migration 173 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.000 so people moving into the state, to the bottom ten 174 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.040 in twenty twenty five. I mean, the list goes on 175 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.920 and on. I could sit here and just read this 176 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.360 and everybody's jaws would drop to the ground hearing what's 177 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.240 happening to our beautiful stage. So we'll talk more about 178 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.759 that at four thirty five. I'm going to have my 179 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.639 good friend Lynn Gerber come on. We met actually in politics, 180 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.959 but we share a passion for animal rescue, and Lynn 181 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.639 is one of the most amazing human beings. She has 182 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.040 saved so many dogs, so many dogs. I think she 183 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.079 has five of her own at her home, but she 184 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.319 does amazing work and she holds the people's feet to 185 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:32.600 the fire that run animal rescue, like legislation and oversight 186 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.639 in Colorado. I'm going to tease it with a couple 187 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.960 stats that are going to blow you away. In twenty 188 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:43.039 twenty four alone, Colorado euthanized six thousand animals in our shelters, 189 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.759 and Denver now ranks fifth nationally in sheltered euthanasia rates. 190 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.759 We've got a big problem here, and it's political too. 191 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.799 It has a lot to do with Jared Pois and 192 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:57.679 his partner Marlon Reis, who's very involved in the animal 193 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.919 rescue community here in Colorado. So that's after the four 194 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.919 thirty break, and then at five point thirty, I'm bringing 195 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.799 on Lacey Williams, who's on our Rocky Mountain Voice team. 196 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.000 She is a rock star. 197 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.000 She worked with Turning Point for several years and now 198 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.399 she works at Rocky Mountain Voice doing our social media 199 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.080 and as part of our content team with Tory, my daughter, 200 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.799 and Jen, our editor. And she also is one of 201 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.200 the heads of Colorada Young Republicans. So you think Turning 202 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.120 Point is high school and college and then colorda Young 203 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.960 Republicans is post college, the young folks, the gen Zers, 204 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.240 and they have opened fourteen chapters around the state of 205 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.240 Colorado and they are making huge strides. So we're going 206 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.919 to have Lacey on to talk about gen Z and 207 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.840 Colorado and young conservative young conservatives here and how we 208 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.759 actually continue to pull them over to our side. 209 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.759 I think that's so important too, Heidi, because I actually 210 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.200 had one come up to me today, David Proctor, a 211 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:54.840 really interesting. 212 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.720 Young man, and he has a mind for it. I 213 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:57.600 think the same way. 214 00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.919 That Lacey does of how do we connect with the 215 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.360 this younger generation that so many of them based on 216 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:05.399 their experiences and Britta talked about this at the breakfast today, 217 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.279 going through COVID being locked down, they have a tendency 218 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.960 to want to break free from government control and oppression 219 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.480 and where does that lead them the Republican Party. We 220 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.279 just got to connect those dots and get them to 221 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:17.120 turn out to vote. 222 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.759 That's right, right. I'm so excited about that part of 223 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.440 our movement. It's what I'm getting more and more passionate 224 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.759 about it. I'm helping launch Turning Point chapters at high 225 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.840 schools across the state. We launched one at my daughter's 226 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.399 high school at Valor Christian. A couple of weeks ago, 227 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.039 we had Derek Wolf speak and Danielle Jorinski. We're going 228 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:34.840 to do this all over Colorado and we're going to 229 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.200 take back Colorado through our youth. So I know we've 230 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.039 got to go to break. This is Hidi Ganal filling 231 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.639 in for Dan Kaplis. He'll be back tomorrow. We'll be 232 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.120 back right after this to talk more about all the things. 233 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.120 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show Podcast. 234 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.759 Eight Afternoons slash Evening. This is Heidi Ganal filling in 235 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:01.840 for Day and Kaplis, and it looks like I'll be 236 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.679 filling it again tomorrow. I'm very excited about that, right. 237 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:06.720 I love how I broke that news for you, ting 238 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.200 to break. 239 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.720 Hey, that's good news. Dan is doing the good work, 240 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.480 keeping us safe, putting bad guys where they need to go, 241 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.960 protecting people's livelihoods. So we need to let him do that. 242 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.000 He does it very well. 243 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.200 And it's just one more day, he says, one more day. 244 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.720 He's telling us he'll be back on Friday. But this 245 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.399 feels a lot like Wimpy in the Popeye cartoons who 246 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.559 said I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger Today. 247 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.120 I'm not sure that I believe that Dan'll be here 248 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:37.720 on Friday. 249 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:38.320 We'll see. 250 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.960 Well, I have my thirteen year old's party with twelve 251 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.240 other thirteen year old girls at my house on Friday, 252 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.480 so I'm probably not going to be available, although I 253 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.919 know probably prefer to be doing that. They're all the radio. 254 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:53.320 Something just broke that's really cool. And after just having 255 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.120 gone through a six month stint with breast cancer and 256 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.240 the healthcare system and the ups and downs and trying 257 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.000 to figure out what to believe and who to trust 258 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.919 about what the treatment best for me was, I'm a 259 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.840 big believer in the MAHA movement, the Make America Healthy 260 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.759 Again movement, and I just found out that Trump has 261 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:15.919 nominated doctor Casey Means for Surgeon General and all nice. Yeah, 262 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.320 she's like the godmother of the MAHA movement. 263 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.320 Great great interview with. 264 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.240 Tucker Carlson if you want to get to know her. 265 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.600 And I believe it's her brother who were Stanford trained 266 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.559 physicians surgeons and went through kind of an awakening about 267 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:34.600 what was happening because of their mom's health. And man, Ryan, 268 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.840 I have to tell you it's been a real eye 269 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.919 opening experience for me. I probably got five different opinions 270 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.919 from five different doctors about how to treat a very 271 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.840 early caught breast cancer. And then I went to functional medicine, 272 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.159 which is kind of an alternative or natural medicine, and 273 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.679 it's a whole different perspective and you've got to really 274 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.159 navigate that yourself, and you don't know who to trust. 275 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.840 So if there's anything she could do along with RFK 276 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.879 Junior to bring back a level of trust in the science, 277 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:10.919 in our in our healthcare system, in pharmaceuticals, et cetera, 278 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.679 I think that would go a long way and be 279 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:17.080 a very successful mark that Trump could put on his presidency. 280 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:21.559 I just love this kind of extra dimension that has 281 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.639 been added to what is our movement? Which how do 282 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.039 you done such a yeoman's work in advancing not only 283 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:32.320 make America great again, but America first traditional conservative values 284 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.559 based on populist principles. 285 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.440 And now our FK Jr. And this is where you know, you. 286 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.000 Got to wait things out sometimes in politics. And I 287 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.360 got really upset with Sean Hannity who turned on RFK 288 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.360 Junior when it looked like RFK Junior might be doing 289 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.559 more harm to Trump than to Biden in a potential race. Well, 290 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.879 what happened is our FK junior sat down with Donald Trump. 291 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.720 I think they established that fact. Both said, we don't 292 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.320 want Biden to win. Let's form an alliance. Let's do 293 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.600 like the Mega Powers Randy Macho, Mann Savage and Hulk Hogan. 294 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.600 And they did that on stage. I think it was 295 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.960 Las Vegas. It was electric. The crowd reacted. I remember 296 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.840 that the RFK Junior voters came over to our side. 297 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.039 I think they pushed us over the finish line definitely 298 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.960 for a national popular vote victory. I think that we 299 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.919 have them to credit for a large part of that. 300 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.639 Here's the other thing too. We're talking about comedy works 301 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.360 A little bit earlier on at Comedy Works South, I 302 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.399 went and saw Detroit native Tim Meadows, formerly of Saturday 303 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.440 Night Live Ladies man all that, and he kind of 304 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.200 got into politics at the end. I could tell he 305 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.559 didn't really want to. And he kind of asked how 306 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.759 many Trump supporters we have? And there's a murmur myself 307 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.279 and a few others, Yeah, yeah, okay, I get it. 308 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:37.759 And then the guy in the front row says, I'm 309 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.879 an RFK Junior supporter Tim Meadows went off on that guy. 310 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.200 What Christian Total wrote an article about it, Hollywood Intoto 311 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.360 dot Com. Meadows was infinitely more angry, and he said, 312 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.919 so at RFK junior supporters than Trump supporters. The bottom line, 313 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.759 I might be slightly misrepresenting, but not really was well, 314 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.519 Trump supporters, they're just they're a lost cause and you 315 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.919 know they're not that right whatever. You should know better 316 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.639 as an RFK Junior supporter because you're actually smart. 317 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:06.200 But what are you doing? He got really mad. 318 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.480 He apologized to the audience, and that's when I knew, Heidi, 319 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.960 the RFK Junior Alliance was powerful. 320 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.279 With Donald Trump. It is powerful. 321 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:19.279 It's it's been incredible to watch all these previous democrats 322 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:21.679 come together and remake the conservative movement. 323 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.840 I know, Tulsea Gabbert, Yeah, it's. 324 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.480 Crazy, and I you know, I have to say, Heik, 325 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.559 We're in a really good place. We've got great policy ideas, 326 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.559 we've got good solutions for things. One of the groups 327 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.559 that I'm on the board of now is called American 328 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.639 Conservation Coalition, and you got to look it up. It's 329 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:42.600 acc dot eco the website. They have a really good 330 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:46.200 website that lays it out. But it's young conservatives taking 331 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.080 back the conversation around the environment and clean land and 332 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.799 clean air and clean water and reminding everyone that we 333 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:53.519 are the party of Teddy Roosevelt. 334 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.000 We are the original conservation Party. 335 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.240 And they've got sixty thousand, I think seventy thousand now 336 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.679 members across the country on college campuses and they're growing 337 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.799 like crazy. And Hunter, who was just selected as the 338 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.039 chair of Weald County, Hunter Rivera is going to be 339 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.200 the new leader of ACC here in Colorado. He's also 340 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.840 very involved in Colwordy Young Republicans and we should get 341 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.559 him on the show soon. Maybe I can set him 342 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.720 up to come on tomorrow. But we're taking back the 343 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.120 conversation around the environment, We're taking back the conversation about health. 344 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.960 We're taking back the conversation about fiscal conservative conservatism and 345 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.440 responsible you know, money spending through DOGE. One of the 346 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.080 things I love this morning that Britta brought out is 347 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.200 she's she's launching Boge, which is Britta of GOP Efficiency, 348 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.879 and she's really digging into the spending and the revenue 349 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:47.639 sources and trying to figure out how to write the 350 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.120 party financially which I think is a good thing too. 351 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:54.080 So needless to say, I think I think we've got 352 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.559 all the right like ingredients in the soup, and we 353 00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:59.519 just have to figure out how to sell that soup 354 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.759 to so more voters in Colorado in order to ride 355 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.880 that train and start winning again here. So I'm super 356 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:08.559 excited about things going on in the conservative movement, and 357 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.200 I think nationally, well, this morning, I asked the whole room, 358 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.960 I said, you know, we talk about all this infighting 359 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.400 in our party, but can we agree on two things? 360 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.920 Can we agree that we like what's happening nationally? We 361 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.599 totally we're all in on what's happening nationally. Everybody went whoay, yay, 362 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.240 And then I said, all right, can we all agree 363 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.519 that we don't like what's happening in Colorado? 364 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.240 And everybody went yeah. 365 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.960 I'm like, okay, you guys, we all just agreed on 366 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.359 two really really big things and the other twenty percent, 367 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.920 as Ronald Reagan said, doesn't matter. So that was one 368 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.240 of my favorite moments of this morning, of the breakfast 369 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.920 and really getting through to people like, we have so 370 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.440 much to agree on, we have so much good stuff 371 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.480 to sell, our ideas and principles to the people of 372 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.160 Colorado just need to get together and do it. So 373 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.319 we're gonna come back after the break with my friend 374 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:03.119 Lenn Gerber and talk all about in politics. 375 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.039 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 376 00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.160 That was great choice in music, Ryan, we love our 377 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.200 doggies and kiddies. I mean, at least all my friends 378 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.480 and people I hang out with do. And something that 379 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.000 I'm very proud of in my career is I launched 380 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.799 Camp Bowow back in two thousand and grew it to 381 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.359 the largest pet care franchise in the country with I 382 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:35.039 think now they have over two hundred locations, and that's 383 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.000 really what got me launched in politics too. I got 384 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.559 really frustrated about the government getting in the way of 385 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:43.559 helping my franchisees grow and starting new businesses and hiring 386 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.519 more people. It was insane. But the other cool thing 387 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:48.839 that we did was start the bow Wow Buddies Foundation, 388 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.920 which was the charity arm of Camp Bowow and we 389 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.519 were able to rescue over ten thousand dogs over ten 390 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.119 years through rescue or fostering them at the local camp 391 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.079 since the camps would let them hang out there while 392 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:05.200 they got a home and my franchises were just amazing. 393 00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:08.759 They fostered so many dogs and just created just an 394 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:13.920 adoption machine out of the whole franchise. And so Lynn 395 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:16.599 Gerber and I Lynn is a dear friend of mine. 396 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:19.160 We met not on the dog front, we met in 397 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.640 politics and we got to be fast friends. And then 398 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.880 I found out what an incredible heart she has for 399 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.200 rescuing animals. And I want to bring Lynn on now 400 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:31.000 and let her tell you a little bit about her 401 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.680
