Speaker 1 (00:00):
The group that governs high school sports in Colorado, has
agreed not to sanction certain schools and teams over their
policies on transgender students. This is part of a settlement
between CHASSA and conservative leaning school districts like Colorado Springs
Districts forty nine and eleven. The settlement says CHASSA can't
sanctioned schools that separate teams by biological sex or create
(00:21):
policies that impact transgender athletes.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
In return, the districts.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Will have to pay CHASSA sixty thousand dollars to make
up for money lost during litigation. CHASSA told us the
lawsuit is unnecessary and performative since they have never sanctioned
a school for policies related to transgender athletes in a
statement District forty nine, so the settlement is a major
step forward, But a civil rights lawyer told us it's
far from.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
That, and it is pretty far from a landmarker what
I would even consider a significant victory. It doesn't affect
the rest of the case, and it doesn't affect the
state of Colorado's right to continue to enforce it's anti
discrimination losts.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So CHASSA has settled this lawsuit isn't over. On Monday,
the remaining defendants, including ag phil Wiser and the Colorado
Civil Rights Commission, have a hearing to try and dismiss
the suit.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
If only phil Wiser and the civil rights attorneys were
is concerned with the rights of girls and women, biological
double X chromosome girls and women, what a better place
Colorado would be.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But they're not.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
They're perfectly fine with the invasion of girls and women's
sports and spaces and the civil rights attorney that they
cite there.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
She's trying to downplay the impact of this chassa CHSAA
Colorado High School Activities Association settling this lawsuit with a
couple of conservative school districts that did not want to
be penalized for refusing to compete against other schools who
(02:01):
have transgender biological males presenting as females on their high
school teams.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Now, this only goes part of the way.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Trying to take this ball all the way down the
field and spike the football for a touchdown is our
next guest, and she joined us on Friday. We'll get
an update from her on the weekend activities they were
blitzing the state of Colorado gathering petition signatures for three
ballot measures related to protecting girls and women's sports and spaces.
She is Aaron Lee, founder of Protects Kids Colorado, and
(02:35):
she joins us now on Ryan Schuling Live. Aaron, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's been so long, Hey, Ryan, long time, no time.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I know exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
At first, I want to get you to react to
what you just heard from that nine news piece, and
in specific regard the civil rights attorneys.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Saying, ah, this wasn't that big idea. You don't have
to look over here.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
It's not significant, it's performative. What a losing side to
be on this issue. Even the New York Times have
said this is over an eighty twenty issue. In most cases,
it's more like ninety ten. Most people, even leftists, most
Democrat voters, believe that men cannot be women and that
(03:14):
our Title nine secured single sex spaces should be protected,
should be sacred. It's such a silly debate, and it's
no surprise that they had an ACLU lawyer on there
arguing to the contrary. But this is definitely a significant issue.
It's affecting kids all over the state. My own kids' school,
they go to a charter school here in the Pudor
School district, had to reckon with an opposing team having
(03:37):
male players, and I watched what it did to the
parents and the girls who are trying to navigate how
to handle this situation.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Do they forfeit?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Do they not?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Do they give up their opportunities? Are they going to
have to change in front of him? It is such
a significant issue and lots of people care about it.
That's why our ballot initiatives are so popular.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Once again, if you would, Aaron, update us on the
ballid initiatives.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
How did this past weekend go?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
And what are the three ballot initiatives as simply as
you can state them for our audience.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yes, really simply. They are protecting girls sports, prohibiting sex
change surgeries on children, and punishing child sex traffickers. And
it's going great. We're, you know, halfway to our goal,
at halfway through our timeline. We had a great event
all over the state and nine locations on Saturday, got
hundreds of signatures, signed up, lots of new circulators. But
(04:29):
you know, we've got to really push for the next
nine weeks. The way we're doing this is how it's
never been done before, and that's all volunteer and it
was always our heart to engage Coloradens to take that
citizen initiative process that's become a game for millionaires and
give it back to the citizens and make it a
wee the people movement. So we're going to have to
push really hard together as Coloradens over the next nine
(04:53):
to ten weeks to make sure we get on the ballot,
and when we do, these will pass.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Aaron Lee our guess. She is the founder of Protect
Kids Colorado. You can find out more at their website
protect Kids Colorado dot org. I think it's relevant to
read the entire statement for you here and have you
have a chance to respond to it from Chassa that
was provided to nine News in the wake of this settlement,
and here's how it goes.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
The Colorado High School Activities Association has acknowledged from the
outset the complex challenges created by conflicting federal directives and
state laws, as well as the difficult position in which
this places members schools and districts. Chassa affirms that the
courts are ultimately responsible for determining how laws governing transgender
athlete participation are applied. The Association has never penalized a
(05:40):
school or district for its policies on this issue, nor
has it dictated what those policies should be. Eligibility decisions
have always been left to individual schools and districts, which
is why being named in this lawsuit was both frustrating
and unnecessary. At no point before filing this lawsuit did
the PLANIS engage in any dialogue with chass No outreach
(06:01):
was made to inquire about our policies, our procedures, or
the steps we had already taken to support schools navigating
these issues. Instead, CHASSA was directed to make a change,
and a lawsuit was filed shortly thereafter, a decision we
believe was much more performative than substantive. This litigation consumed
time and resources without producing any change to how CHASSA operates.
(06:23):
The settlement alters nothing about our policies, our practices, or
our authority, and the fact that it results in no
changes only underscores how unnecessary this lawsuit was. We are
reassured that our by laws were followed throughout this process,
and the agreement confirms that all legal fees will be
covered by the plaintiff, districts and schools involved. Most importantly,
this resolution brings closure without any continued financial impact on
(06:46):
the rest of our membership. CHASSA remains dedicated to upholding
its commitment to fostering a safe environment for all students
participating in educationally based athletics and activities.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Your response to their statement erin.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Well, I commend them for technically doing the right thing here,
that's the very cowardly statement. I'll also commend them for
not using terms like inclusive and transgender and appealing to
the language that the other that I uses. That is
definitely a feather in their cap. But the reason they
hadn't gone after any school district for their policy is
(07:21):
because D forty nine was the first district to do it,
and they just passed that policy a few months ago,
so there's been no time for anyone to go after districts.
This was a preemptive suit to ensure that their policy
can stand and to encourage other districts to follow suits.
And I hope that's what happens as a result of
this settlement and the ongoing lawsuit. I'll point out I
(07:43):
actually have a lawsuit against the state the same bill
Weiser ocr over House Bill thirteen twelve, which is very
similar conditions. It's forcing everyone in Colorado to call a
man a woman, to allow males and female spaces. And
they've taken the same tactic in both lawsuits that well,
we didn't go after you, so why are you suing us?
(08:05):
And it's just very telling that you know that's the
reason is because these are preemptive in order to ensure
these policies can stand and in our case, in order
to ensure that free speech stifling and violations are kept
to a minimum.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
The districts involved in this suit, according to the nine
News report, include as Aaron mentioned School District forty nine,
Colorado Springs School District eleven, Academy School District twenty, Education
re Envision, Bocees, Monument Academy, James Irwin Charter Schools, Mana
Zuma Cortez School District, the Classical Academy aarently our guests
(08:41):
from Protect Kids Colorado. Now, a couple more questions along
these lines. Aarin First and foremost is the argument from
Phil Wiser and those proponents, the civil rights attorneys that
are trying to use Title nine quite ironically, and I
think frustratingly and infuriatingly to protect biological males participating in
(09:02):
female sports, Whereas I think the whole case breaks down
right here, and that is, any individual high school student,
however one identifies, can freely participate. Meaning if a biological
male presents as a female, okay, doesn't entitle that female
in our view yours in mind, in many of our
listeners to gain an advantage by participating in the girls athletics,
(09:25):
which by its very nature of biological male is going
to have that biological advantage, they can freely participate. Nobody's
stopping these individuals, these transgender students, from participating in the
sports that are represented by their born as biological sex.
So I don't see where the discrimination comes into play here.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
The emperor has no clothes on this one. I mean
that they have no argument, and it's kind of interesting
to me to watch them pull at straws and try
to manipulate statute in order to build an argument. But again,
these are ninety ten issues. Majority of people with the
brain can see that men can't be women and women
deserve safe signal sex spaces and girls at the K
(10:07):
through twelve level, So it's kind of fun at this
point to watch them try to manipulate things into an
argument because they have none. It's so clear that they're
on the wrong side of this issue.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Aaron Lee, our guest, the founder of Protect Kids Colorado.
Where I feel that this lawsuit, Aaron, and I have
a feeling you're going to agree with me. It's just
the beginning is because all this does is it validates
an individual school district from saying, in our school district,
we are not going to be compelled to allow biological
(10:40):
males to participate on our female girls high school sports teams.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
But it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Resolve the biggest issue at play here eron and you
touched on it earlier in your first answer to me,
and that is other school districts and more liberal districts
they are going to allow biological males to participate. And
the only recourse in recompense that a school that does
not allow biological mailes.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Onto their own teams.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
The only all that they have is to say we forfeit,
we lose, we won't participate, we won't play. That to
me is not a satisfying resolution whatsoever.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Yeah, that's right. I mean, there are one hundred and
seventy nine school districts in Colorado, one hundred and seventy
five of them continue to not do the right thing
by girls by protecting their intimate spaces, and so this
is a win for those school districts. It's an encouragement
hopefully to other school districts to follow suit. But it
really underscores why the ballot initiative and a state law
(11:36):
is imperative because in the absence of Chassa doing the
right thing and setting a policy, and that's pretty ubiquitous,
all of these governing bodies of athletic leagues across the.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Board are refusing to touch this.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
It's almost like they're waiting for someone like Protect Kids
to come in and pass a law that says you're
going to have to pass the policy that mandates sports
according to biological sex. It's like they're waiting for us
to tell them what to do, because they're not handling
it on their own. And so that's why other school
districts hopefully follows you. But why we hope to pass
state law that mandates every single school district and athletic
(12:10):
league must protect girls.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And you can find out more about her organization Protect
Kids Colorado dot org. You can also find out where
you can sign these petitions for the ballot measures that
she described. I strongly urge you to do so. I've
already done so myself. Aaron Lee our guest. Something I've
spoken about with our mutual friend Jennifer Say and what
a hero she is as well, Aaron the founder of
(12:33):
XXXY Athletics, and I know you two are working very
closely together on these ballot initiatives. Is I would just
want to confront in a debate style in a courtroom.
In a courtroom, Phil Wiser, anybody else saying, Okay, gender's fluid,
we can be either one go one way and know
the other. If that is the case, why can they
not provide examples of any biological female who presents this
(12:59):
male participating in boys sports at the high school level.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I would like to see one example.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Have you ever had that conversation with somebody on the
other side of this argument, and have they been able
to provide that type of example.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Well, first of all, Jens is a total powerhouse and
we are so lucky to have her being the face
of our girls sports initiative. I have worked from parents
that are boys who are uncomfortable with girls in their spaces,
so it goes. Certainly, males have an advantage, and there
is no argument against that. You'll never see one because
it doesn't exist. But we should also consider that the
(13:33):
boys who have girls invading their spaces, the boys who
are being forced to change in a locker room in
front of a gender confused girl, they're also uncomfortable. And
I've had moms come to me and say, it goes
both ways. Our boys are uncomfortable too. Again, this is
a ubiquitous issue. It affects so many people, and the
kids are afraid to say something, especially the young men
who are put in that situation. But I want to
(13:55):
say too. You said you'd like to see this argued
out in court. Here's some good news for everyone. On
January thirteenth, I believe they're twelfth or thirteenth, there are
two cases going before the Supreme Court, Little versus Peacock's
and West Virginia versus BPJ. And these are laws in
Idaho and West Virginia, laws just like our ballot initiative
with protect Kids that did pass, that are protecting females,
(14:18):
and they've been challenged all the way up to the
Supreme Court, and I am one hundred percent certain that
when these are argued before Scotus, we will win that argument.
And what that does is that legitimizes our law once
it passes, and I think encourages the federal government to
finally take action on this.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Let me ask it another way, and again, this is
from a competitive standpoint myself, with the career largely based
in sports broadcasting, in playing baseball myself, and that we
see these examples herein so many times in volleyball, the
girl that got the ball spiked in her face and
still suffers traumatic brain injury symptoms. Long term, we've seen
(14:57):
Leah Thomas, William Thomas dominate the fear field, lap the
field at the NCAA Championships. In swimming, We've seen it
in track and field in high school in Connecticut. We've
seen it in California again along these same lines, where
a biological male comes in, makes a mockery of a
girls sport dominates that sport. My question again, is there
(15:19):
a biological female that has entered the male sphere that
has done the same thing.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Give me one example. That's my question for the other
side on this argument.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
No, no simple answer. No, that doesn't exist unless it was,
like I don't know, like interpretive dance or something where
females just more finet the male did. But no, I've
never heard of that, and I don't think we'll ever
hear of that situation. Everyone knows that the males have
a biological advantage. That's the issue here.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Yeah, when the scoreboards stacked up and it's all of
these examples like I just cited and I just had
a spoonful there off the top of my head, and
you have no examples on the other side, then this
argument does not hold.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
WAW.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It clearly represents what Phil Wiser apparently wants to deny,
and everybody arguing on that side of it wants to
deny that this is all going one hundred percent in
one direction, that is spoiling the opportunities.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
And this is the part too, Aaron, You've.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Got to feel this, I think, especially as a woman,
that Title nine, the designers, the brains behind Title nine,
going back fifty years now, could never have imagined a
scenario where it would be so warped and twisted that actually, yes,
misogyny would enter in and men would be protected under
(16:36):
Title nine in participating in women's sports.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
It blows my mind.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Yeah, it's like we've ventured the twilight zone. And that's
why you see the turf, the trans exclusionary radical feminists
who have risen up. A lot of them are on
my side. A lot of them are carrying these petitions
who we fundamentally disagree on just about everything. Like they're
abortion up until birth. I'm very much not, but we
agree men can't be women as this went too far
that they there were serious unintended consequences of the feminist movement.
(17:03):
I mean, too many to cover in this segment, but
this is one of them that now misogyny has entered
the picture and men are getting preference over women. Men
are being awarded as the women of the year, you know,
across the board in our culture, we're awarding men for
being better women than women. And what message does that
send to little girls. It's absolutely like upside down clown
(17:26):
world that we're living in. And that's why I think
we're going to see the ballot measure pause. We're going
to see these lawsuits succeed. I hope that Brad Miller
in first and fourteenth, who are representing these school districts,
are successful because that will top topple Dominoes and we'll
see a lot of other leagues and institutions fall in line.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Aaron Lee, the founder of Protect Kids Colorado, joining us
a final minute that we have here erin, I want
to give you a chance to use this platform to
promote what the next steps are. You mentioned these lawsuits
coming up a little over a month from now, but
here we are during the holiday season. You've got a
lot of work still to do. As you mentioned, you're
halfway there in half the timeframe. What's next on the agenda?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yes, we just see Colorado's to engage to take a petition.
You can just hit me up at info at protect
Kids Colorado dot org to be a petition circulators. We
need funding to get us over the finish line and
a couple events that are coming up. We'll do another
drive through on January tenth all over the state, so
marks the date. And then also January fifteenth at Brave
(18:25):
Church in Denver, we're bringing out Paula Scanlon who had
to swim with Will Thomas on the team, Titsh Hyman,
the woman who went viral at the gold Gym. Riley
Gaines will make an appearance, Jen say it's going to
be a girl sports powerhouse January fifteenth, the Brave Church.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
She's doing great work and we over a lot protect
Kidscolorado dot org is where you want to go for
more information along lines what she just said on the calendar,
and it is such a noble cause. Aaron Lee, appreciate
your time, all the hard work you're doing. Best of
luck going forward. I'm sure we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yes, thanks Ryan.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
All right, Aaron Lee, right.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
There, your response and reaction at five seven seven three nine.
When we come back, Adam Deriedle joined us. He launches
a primary challenge against Representative Gabe Evans in the eighth
congressional district.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Now, this controversy, let's remember, all started with a Washington
Post story about nine days ago that said after the
first strike, there were two survivors that were helpless, and
then they were ordered to kill these helpless survivors. That
is simply not the case. They were not floating in
the ocean on a wooden plane or in life jackets.
They were on the capsized vessel. They were not incapacitated
(19:40):
in any way. It was entirely appropriate to strike the
boat again to make sure that cargo was destroyed. It
is in no way the violation of the law of war.
And I think the Washington Post o Secretary Hexath and
especially Admiral Mitch Bradley, a highly decorated curer Navy seal
an apology for that slander.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
That's Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican Arkansaw saying that the
Washington Posts owes the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth an
apology along with Admiral Bradley, for slander in the characterization
of this so called double tap the drug card tell
Narco terrorists taking boats across the Gulf of America and
(20:19):
sending those toward the United States, joining US.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Now, he's a military veteran in his own right.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
His new campaign logo, I have to say it resembles
strongly g I Joe, and that was intentional. I gotta
believe it. Adam Derido joins us here live. Adam, thanks
so much for your time.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Now, Ryan, thank you so much for bringing me on
the show. I really appreciate it. You're taking what you
just heard there from Senator Cotton. Yeah, it's very interesting
because as someone you know, nothing I say represents the
Department of Defense of the United States Army. But where
were people for the last twenty years on their criticisms
of what we were doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. I
could tell you from first hand experience. I witnessed double
tap strikes all the time. It just got a standard practice,
(20:57):
you know. But now they want to make a big
issue out of it because now they're seeing it on
live television, you know, kind of like it goes back
to the First Golf War when there was the first
time we saw fully televised war, when F one seventeen
nighthawks were doing laser guid to bomb strikes and sell
fighters and we saw war in real time. And I
think the problem is with most Americans that they become
so desensitized the reality of the horrors of war. They
don't understand war is not supposed to be fair. If
(21:19):
war is fair, then nobody wins.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
And this whole notion of atrocities committed or war crimes.
We're hearing this, you know, term thrown about and to me,
it's losing its sting its value, just like when the
term fascist Nazis is thrown around as well. How would
you define a war crime?
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I mean, war crime is definitely the violation of Low
Act Law of Arm Conflict. You know, there's designations of
that in u CMJ. There's procedures and processes for it.
And as American citizens, as an American service member, you
are entitled to those rights. You know, if you really
think there's a war crimes, there's a set of charges,
there's a whole list of things to go through. But
the problem is is most of Americans are not educated
on that system and how it works, nor to have
(21:58):
they most of them even served in the military. And
the problem is you have a lot of pundits and
retired generals who want to come on and make a
few bucks on Fox News and CNN and give their
own opinions. But they're just doing it for money. They're
not doing it to actually protect our service members and
further the national security interests of the United States.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
The final question on this topic, Adam to Rito, our
guest candidate for Congress in the eighth congressional District. We'll
get to that topic in just a moment, But anything
that you've witnessed over what has been reported, and like
you said, there's only so much that we probably actually
know about what has happened on these strikes against the
Narco terrorists.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Is anything about that a war crime in your mind?
Speaker 8 (22:31):
From a civilian perspective with minimal information, I would say no.
And also you also can't make a good estimate on that.
I've come from the intelligence field. I was an intelligence analyst.
I will tell you that you don't know ninety five
percent of the information. What's going on. What you see
on the news is very minimal. And I will tell
you that if those strikes were authorized by the Secretary
of War Pete Hegseth, they had much more information than
the public did, and those strikes were definitely authorized. And
(22:53):
there's an entire kill chain process as to go through
an entire checks and balance system before that operator pulls
that trigger. Officers who were flying those aircraft and those
drones pulled that trigger, they are also held liable and
if they did it, they did it in a moral
and ethical way according to proper instruction.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Adam, I met you and Carolyn who's also with us
here as well, at the Weld County hodown now in
late October, and going back, it seems like not that
long ago, but has much changed in your mind in
terms of whether or not you were going to enter
this race. Did you know that then at that time
that you were going to do it?
Speaker 8 (23:26):
No, I did not at all. It was we were
kind of fantasizing about the idea of for months. It
was kind of a joke, like, no one. I've been
in the Military Reform area in DC for over fifteen years.
This is kind of what I've done. And you know,
when you get to the point where you've asked every
member of Congress and you've advocated and done the work
and written the bills and worked with multiple veteran advocacy
groups and nobody's stepping up to do the work, well,
(23:47):
then I guess I'm just going to have to go
do it myself. And it got to the point, and
actually it was ironically on September tenth, was the final
decision making process where I was on my way to
DC to do the last push, you know, coming into
the last lobbying season to get things into the NDAA
and everything else before see session ended and I land
on the tarmac and Reagan and I opened up my
phone and Charlie Kirk had just got assassinated. So our
(24:09):
meetings got canceled. Security clariance has got pulled, you know,
they shut down DC and it got to the point
where our representatis were given the final chance to do
the right thing, the final chance to do it, and
then none of them in the state of Colorado would
do it, and we had to make a decision. They're
moving forward, you know, going after the hodown. Where then
if I'm going to do this, then I have to
do it.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Now, Adam de Rito, our guest.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
He is a Republican candidate now just announced yesterday with
his campaign launch in the eighth Congressional District, and of
course that is a seat currently held by Representative Gabe Evans,
himself a veteran and also not only the military, but
of the police force and the General Assembly here in Colorado. So, Adam,
what would be your biggest point of contention You mentioned
something right there, but specifically about Gabe Evans and what
(24:51):
he has not done.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Well, specifically, what he hasn't done is stuck with eliminating
all legal immigration. He recently signed onto the Dignity Act
with representatives and in the eighth Congressional District where there's
high levels of human trafficking cartel activity up the I
twenty five Corridor in seventy six. We can't deal with
this anymore. And we have a lot of legal immigrants
and there's a lot of processing issues and everything else.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But at the end of the.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
Day, we can't keep giving amnesty and conditions where we're
not putting Americans first. And we need representatives that are
going to put Americans first, because we can't keep having
the suicidal empathy where we try to save everybody. I
was an empty I was a firefighter. I was a
first responder as well, right, and at the end of
the day, you realize you can't save everyone, and we
(25:34):
can't save everyone. We have to put Americans in American
communities first. And I think the lack of response, the
lack of showing up to town halls, the lack of
response to constituents. And I supported Gabe Evans. I helped
get him elected. I texted him personally. I was super excited.
I had a fellow National guardsman I was in the
National Guard back then, and we were super excited to
get him in and door knocking and you know, back
and forth. And at the end of the day, it
(25:55):
was just a lot of nothing, a lot of empty handedness.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Annam Derita our guest.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
He's launched his camp just this past Sunday up in
the eighth Congressional District, and I want to talk to
you a bit about the makeup of that district to
Adam and.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
How closely contested this is.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Derek Caraveo won the first ever race in the eighth
as it was newly carved out from the twenty twenty census,
narrowly defeating Barb Kirkmeyer.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
That went well into the night. I was texting with
Barb the knight that she conceded. They don't concede.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
There's may be still a margin that could be made up.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
The same thing happened when Gabe Evans was running against
Caravale the next time around. He said, there are ballots
out there, chase those ballots. Cured those ballots. He ended
up winning. But this is one of the most hotly
contested congressional districts Adam in the entire country. What is
it about your candidacy that you feel you will compete
and contend better in such a closely divided purple district
(26:47):
than Gabe Evans would against a Democrat. Well, here's the thing.
In the eighth district This has been my.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Bloodline for the entire time of my adult career out
here after I left active duty service in twenty ten.
I am the oil and gas worker. I am the farmer,
I am the Army veteran. I am a substitute school
teacher as well. I wear four different hats, and unfortunately
Gabe has never worn any of those hats. Maybe mine
is serving in the Army for a short period of time.
But I work with the unions, and I'm very pro
(27:13):
critical infrastructure unions. I work with these men and women
every day. We're the ones who keep Colorado warm. We're
the one who keeps Colorado lit where we keep it moving,
and we have zero support for that. We lost a
twenty five million dollar paving contract at the local refinery here,
and this is why our roads are actually not getting
paved is because Denver made a decision. Not a single
representative came and stuck up for it and tried to
(27:33):
stop it. And now we're outsourcing our asshoalt production to
a different state and then trucking and slash trading it
back in and raising your taxes and making you pay
more money to do the thing that we could do locally.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
And it's hurting jobs.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
We've lost tens of thousands of oil and gas jobs
in the eighth district since I've lived there. All the
companies I work for are gone, Noble Energy, Anadarko, Baker, Hughes, Halliburton, Slumberget,
They're all gone. All those jobs left and went to Texas.
If we bring those jobs back, it's going to increase
our revenue. We get rid of this one point eight
billion dollar deficit. You know, we make Americans able to
(28:05):
afford their healthcare again, reinflate the coffers of Colorado, and
bring back prosperity to Americans. And I don't see anyone
doing the work except the guys wearing the hard hats
and the steel toe boots out there.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Adam Doedo our guest.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
He has experienced, as he mentioned, in the oil and
gas industry, and I've got a lot of questions about
energy when we come back.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Second part of our conversation coming up next.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
He is challenging Gabe Evans in the eighth Congressional District
in the Republican primary.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
More with Adam after this.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Once in a.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Lifetime David Byrne talking heads there, coming back from break
and you might think that Adam Dorito believes, Hey, this
is his once in a lifetime chance to run for Congress,
and he's doing so now, having announced yesterday up in
Greeley in the eighth congressional district, as I mentioned in
our first segment with Adam, one of the most hotly
contested districts in the nation. There's gonna be a lot
(28:57):
of money poured into this nationwide, both in the day
Democrat side and the Republican side, so a lot of
eyes focused on this race. You can text in questions
for Adam if you have them. I think I'm going
to have him for the next first segment of the
next hour two. We appreciate him being in studio with
us here today. You can text those at five, seven, seven,
three nine.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Here are a few.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
This young man sounds great, real American. Evans is more
Mexican than American. He needs to go. Oh, that is
unnecessarily harsh on the Evans end, but I would agree,
AND's a solid guy. Gabe Evans was an Arvada police
officer and farmer family.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Farm at least Okay duly noted. And then this one I.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Wanted Adam to address specifically the term double tap is
not an official military term, but yet it's widely used
by the media.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
Why is that, Adam, He had a really good answer. Yeah,
this isn't call of duty. And I think, like I said,
Americans are fantasizing about getting a kill strike on the
next game and trying to call on an airstrike or
a drone drop.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Right, that's not how it works normally.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
How kill orders are put in as you are directed
to destroy and eliminate the enemy. It doesn't tell you
how many rounds you are allowed to use, though, so
that solves that issue.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Now, you mentioned you've had been a strong advocate and
supporter for Gabe Evans absolutely when he ran this last
time around. How do you view Gabe as a person,
as a guy that served our country, as a person
that served as a police officer, his record of service.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
Yeah, and here's the thing, this is nothing personal. I
still consider gave a friend, even though he probably doesn't
like me right now. He is a fellow officer, army officer.
I fully respect that. I respect his time as a
police officer. But you are correct, this is the most
hotly contested race in the country, next to maybe the
Georgia Senate race.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Right now, we cannot lose this race.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
And right now, the way the numbers are looking like,
I wouldn't jump into this race if I didn't think
I had a chance. Right, this is not something I
did impulsively. I'm an intelligence aandaeist. I collected a lot
of intelligence on this beforehand. Gave Evans the way things
are going right now with his lack of ability to
show up for his constituents across all spectrums, not just Republicans.
He is failing to show any type of empathy to
the other side. And it's a fifty to fifty district basically, right.
(31:00):
If you're not responding to everyone, everyone matters, even the
people who don't vote for you, And if you don't
show up for them, then who are you showing up for?
And the problem is is, like I said, I am
a union worker, right, I'm a union member. Proud you know,
steel workers union guy. They listen to me. I talk
to them every day. I work with the more Hispanics
every day than most people do. I'm actually the minority
in my job, which is hilarious. Right, I've worked with
(31:21):
these guys for years. I mean, I only worry when
the mariachi music stops outside and I know something's broken,
and then I go outside and go it's up. Guys,
look here what we do right. But the problem with
Gabe is that we can't lose the race. And it's
like what Pete hegg Sat did.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
It's time to.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
Fire some admirals and generals. It's okay to get fired
if you're not stepping up and did the job. We
gave you the chance. Hey, I salute your service, thank
you for the experience, thank you for the mentorship. But
it's time to pass the torch and passing on to
the next generation and give me a chance. And look,
if I fail to do my job, fire me too
and bring on the next guy. That's why we have
two year elections. But we cannot lose the seat to Republicans.
And just based upon my service record and what I've
(31:55):
done for this district in the last fifteen years, right now,
Gabe Evans will lose to the Democratic opponent. Right now,
it looks like it's going to be either Shannon Bird
or many Route now and we cannot lose this district
for President Trump. We cannot lose the district if we
want any actual forms in the last two years.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Of his president.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Say to your point, Adam, Shannon Bird just announced today
that she is running on the Democrat side, and here
we go into the primaries and then that general election.
It's going to be no holds barred either way. Really
in Adam Derita hopes to be the nominee on the
Republican side, supplanting the current sitting Congressman, Representative Gabe Evans.
We were talking during the break, Adam about Representative Maria
(32:30):
Elvira Salazar Republican Florida, and Gabe Evans as well about
potential amnesty for illegal aliens who are here but are
not breaking other laws other than they cross the border illegally.
They're working hard, they're contributing to our economy, to our society.
What do you make though of that gray area between
criminal illegal aliens, which I think it's eighty twenty if
(32:51):
not a ninety ten issued deport all of those and
legal immigrants who we want here. They can, like you
just mentioned, they contribute to our economy and they want
to become Americans.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
They want us some late to our culture. What do
we do to that middle region?
Speaker 8 (33:02):
This is a great example of the ending SEENI to
save in Private Ryan when Captain Miller's sitting there and
he tells Private Ryan earn this.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
As an American, you have to earn it.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
And if you've been here for several years and you're
still skirting the system, you're just taking advantage of the
American tax.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Pair you want to be an American citizen?
Speaker 4 (33:18):
That bad.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
I will take you to the Army recruiting office myself
and I'll get your citizenship in less than three years.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I know you're working the fields and we need those farmers.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
We need our food security out here, absolutely, but we're
also offering you one thousand dollars to go back to
your country.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Do it the right way.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
But as a congressman, the first thing I'm gonna do
is bring in extra federal resources. Hey, you over staate
your visa, We'll make sure we get more immigration judges
out here. But we have to draw a line in
the Sanda District.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Eight.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Enough is enough.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
We can't have suicidal empathy where we're destroying our culture,
our American values, and violating our own constitution by allowing
other people who do not abide by assimilation in our
own culture to become American citizens like we are.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Adam Dorito, our guest. He is the primary challenger right now.
Are you the only one announced as far as I know, Yes,
in the Republican side against Gabe Evans for the primary
in the eighth Congressional District. Quick answer on this, We
might get into more of it in our next hour, Adam,
But you had touchedwn the energy industry, which you have
a strong background in. Is this an area where you
(34:15):
feel that Representative Evans has also come up short because
it's such a big part of the economy, both in
the eighth District and statewide.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
I just got told the other day that my taxes
are going up again this year in Weld County. We
are closing down more jobs and more shops. My union
is threatening to go on strike right now because we've
lost so much revenue just from the.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Asphalt contract being lost. Right It's insanity.
Speaker 8 (34:38):
These are good paying six figu yere jobs that you
don't need a college education to achieve. And for all
these legal immigrants that are coming in, I'll teach you
how to spin a pipe brench. We'll go to welding school.
There's resources available bring all of those depressed communities in
Commerce City and everyone else to live that American dream
and turn those ranches.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I am a proud blue collar guy.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
That's what I've done my entire life, including the military,
and it is such an honorable way to live. And
Gabe Evans has not supported those communities. He's left this abandoned.
I go down to Commerce cityum Brighton in all these
other areas. No one shows up, but I'm there and
I talk to these guys and go to their local
shops and drink coffee.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And buy burritos every week. That's just part of my
lifestyle the last fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Adam Dorito is our guest.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
He is running for US Congress against Gabe Evans and
the Republican primary. We've reached out to Representative Evans and
his team and he'll be appearing on this program a
little bit later on this week. In fact, I believe
he'll be on with me on Tuesday's program. And this one,
this text says primary incumbents are why the Republicans are
a circular firing squad. Go flip a seat like Heroin Barbie.
(35:40):
I am not sure the.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Genesis of that one, but we'll explore it.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Further with Adam when we come back. Adam do Rito
in studio with us. We appreciate his time. We'll find
out more about his background in the military and in
his career when we come back after this
The group that governs high school sports in Colorado, has
agreed not to sanction certain schools and teams over their
policies on transgender students. This is part of a settlement
between CHASSA and conservative leaning school districts like Colorado Springs
Districts forty nine and eleven. The settlement says CHASSA can't
sanctioned schools that separate teams by biological sex or create
(00:21):
policies that impact transgender athletes.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
In return, the districts.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Will have to pay CHASSA sixty thousand dollars to make
up for money lost during litigation. CHASSA told us the
lawsuit is unnecessary and performative since they have never sanctioned
a school for policies related to transgender athletes in a
statement District forty nine, so the settlement is a major
step forward, But a civil rights lawyer told us it's
far from.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
That, and it is pretty far from a landmarker what
I would even consider a significant victory. It doesn't affect
the rest of the case, and it doesn't affect the
state of Colorado's right to continue to enforce it's anti
discrimination losts.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So CHASSA has settled this lawsuit isn't over. On Monday,
the remaining defendants, including ag phil Wiser and the Colorado
Civil Rights Commission, have a hearing to try and dismiss
the suit.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
If only phil Wiser and the civil rights attorneys were
is concerned with the rights of girls and women, biological
double X chromosome girls and women, what a better place
Colorado would be.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But they're not.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
They're perfectly fine with the invasion of girls and women's
sports and spaces and the civil rights attorney that they
cite there.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
She's trying to downplay the impact of this chassa CHSAA
Colorado High School Activities Association settling this lawsuit with a
couple of conservative school districts that did not want to
be penalized for refusing to compete against other schools who
(02:01):
have transgender biological males presenting as females on their high
school teams.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Now, this only goes part of the way.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Trying to take this ball all the way down the
field and spike the football for a touchdown is our
next guest, and she joined us on Friday. We'll get
an update from her on the weekend activities they were
blitzing the state of Colorado gathering petition signatures for three
ballot measures related to protecting girls and women's sports and spaces.
She is Aaron Lee, founder of Protects Kids Colorado, and
(02:35):
she joins us now on Ryan Schuling Live. Aaron, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's been so long, Hey, Ryan, long time, no time.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I know exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
At first, I want to get you to react to
what you just heard from that nine news piece, and
in specific regard the civil rights attorneys.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Saying, ah, this wasn't that big idea. You don't have
to look over here.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
It's not significant, it's performative. What a losing side to
be on this issue. Even the New York Times have
said this is over an eighty twenty issue. In most cases,
it's more like ninety ten. Most people, even leftists, most
Democrat voters, believe that men cannot be women and that
(03:14):
our Title nine secured single sex spaces should be protected,
should be sacred. It's such a silly debate, and it's
no surprise that they had an ACLU lawyer on there
arguing to the contrary. But this is definitely a significant issue.
It's affecting kids all over the state. My own kids' school,
they go to a charter school here in the Pudor
School district, had to reckon with an opposing team having
(03:37):
male players, and I watched what it did to the
parents and the girls who are trying to navigate how
to handle this situation.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Do they forfeit?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Do they not?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Do they give up their opportunities? Are they going to
have to change in front of him? It is such
a significant issue and lots of people care about it.
That's why our ballot initiatives are so popular.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Once again, if you would, Aaron, update us on the
ballid initiatives.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
How did this past weekend go?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
And what are the three ballot initiatives as simply as
you can state them for our audience.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yes, really simply. They are protecting girls sports, prohibiting sex
change surgeries on children, and punishing child sex traffickers. And
it's going great. We're, you know, halfway to our goal,
at halfway through our timeline. We had a great event
all over the state and nine locations on Saturday, got
hundreds of signatures, signed up, lots of new circulators. But
(04:29):
you know, we've got to really push for the next
nine weeks. The way we're doing this is how it's
never been done before, and that's all volunteer and it
was always our heart to engage Coloradens to take that
citizen initiative process that's become a game for millionaires and
give it back to the citizens and make it a
wee the people movement. So we're going to have to
push really hard together as Coloradens over the next nine
(04:53):
to ten weeks to make sure we get on the ballot,
and when we do, these will pass.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Aaron Lee our guess. She is the founder of Protect
Kids Colorado. You can find out more at their website
protect Kids Colorado dot org. I think it's relevant to
read the entire statement for you here and have you
have a chance to respond to it from Chassa that
was provided to nine News in the wake of this settlement,
and here's how it goes.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
The Colorado High School Activities Association has acknowledged from the
outset the complex challenges created by conflicting federal directives and
state laws, as well as the difficult position in which
this places members schools and districts. Chassa affirms that the
courts are ultimately responsible for determining how laws governing transgender
athlete participation are applied. The Association has never penalized a
(05:40):
school or district for its policies on this issue, nor
has it dictated what those policies should be. Eligibility decisions
have always been left to individual schools and districts, which
is why being named in this lawsuit was both frustrating
and unnecessary. At no point before filing this lawsuit did
the PLANIS engage in any dialogue with chass No outreach
(06:01):
was made to inquire about our policies, our procedures, or
the steps we had already taken to support schools navigating
these issues. Instead, CHASSA was directed to make a change,
and a lawsuit was filed shortly thereafter, a decision we
believe was much more performative than substantive. This litigation consumed
time and resources without producing any change to how CHASSA operates.
(06:23):
The settlement alters nothing about our policies, our practices, or
our authority, and the fact that it results in no
changes only underscores how unnecessary this lawsuit was. We are
reassured that our by laws were followed throughout this process,
and the agreement confirms that all legal fees will be
covered by the plaintiff, districts and schools involved. Most importantly,
this resolution brings closure without any continued financial impact on
(06:46):
the rest of our membership. CHASSA remains dedicated to upholding
its commitment to fostering a safe environment for all students
participating in educationally based athletics and activities.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Your response to their statement erin.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Well, I commend them for technically doing the right thing here,
that's the very cowardly statement. I'll also commend them for
not using terms like inclusive and transgender and appealing to
the language that the other that I uses. That is
definitely a feather in their cap. But the reason they
hadn't gone after any school district for their policy is
(07:21):
because D forty nine was the first district to do it,
and they just passed that policy a few months ago,
so there's been no time for anyone to go after districts.
This was a preemptive suit to ensure that their policy
can stand and to encourage other districts to follow suits.
And I hope that's what happens as a result of
this settlement and the ongoing lawsuit. I'll point out I
(07:43):
actually have a lawsuit against the state the same bill
Weiser ocr over House Bill thirteen twelve, which is very
similar conditions. It's forcing everyone in Colorado to call a
man a woman, to allow males and female spaces. And
they've taken the same tactic in both lawsuits that well,
we didn't go after you, so why are you suing us?
(08:05):
And it's just very telling that you know that's the
reason is because these are preemptive in order to ensure
these policies can stand and in our case, in order
to ensure that free speech stifling and violations are kept
to a minimum.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
The districts involved in this suit, according to the nine
News report, include as Aaron mentioned School District forty nine,
Colorado Springs School District eleven, Academy School District twenty, Education
re Envision, Bocees, Monument Academy, James Irwin Charter Schools, Mana
Zuma Cortez School District, the Classical Academy aarently our guests
(08:41):
from Protect Kids Colorado. Now, a couple more questions along
these lines. Aarin First and foremost is the argument from
Phil Wiser and those proponents, the civil rights attorneys that
are trying to use Title nine quite ironically, and I
think frustratingly and infuriatingly to protect biological males participating in
(09:02):
female sports, Whereas I think the whole case breaks down
right here, and that is, any individual high school student,
however one identifies, can freely participate. Meaning if a biological
male presents as a female, okay, doesn't entitle that female
in our view yours in mind, in many of our
listeners to gain an advantage by participating in the girls athletics,
(09:25):
which by its very nature of biological male is going
to have that biological advantage, they can freely participate. Nobody's
stopping these individuals, these transgender students, from participating in the
sports that are represented by their born as biological sex.
So I don't see where the discrimination comes into play here.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
The emperor has no clothes on this one. I mean
that they have no argument, and it's kind of interesting
to me to watch them pull at straws and try
to manipulate statute in order to build an argument. But again,
these are ninety ten issues. Majority of people with the
brain can see that men can't be women and women
deserve safe signal sex spaces and girls at the K
(10:07):
through twelve level, So it's kind of fun at this
point to watch them try to manipulate things into an
argument because they have none. It's so clear that they're
on the wrong side of this issue.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Aaron Lee, our guest, the founder of Protect Kids Colorado.
Where I feel that this lawsuit, Aaron, and I have
a feeling you're going to agree with me. It's just
the beginning is because all this does is it validates
an individual school district from saying, in our school district,
we are not going to be compelled to allow biological
(10:40):
males to participate on our female girls high school sports teams.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
But it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Resolve the biggest issue at play here eron and you
touched on it earlier in your first answer to me,
and that is other school districts and more liberal districts
they are going to allow biological males to participate. And
the only recourse in recompense that a school that does
not allow biological mailes.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Onto their own teams.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
The only all that they have is to say we forfeit,
we lose, we won't participate, we won't play. That to
me is not a satisfying resolution whatsoever.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Yeah, that's right. I mean, there are one hundred and
seventy nine school districts in Colorado, one hundred and seventy
five of them continue to not do the right thing
by girls by protecting their intimate spaces, and so this
is a win for those school districts. It's an encouragement
hopefully to other school districts to follow suit. But it
really underscores why the ballot initiative and a state law
(11:36):
is imperative because in the absence of Chassa doing the
right thing and setting a policy, and that's pretty ubiquitous,
all of these governing bodies of athletic leagues across the.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Board are refusing to touch this.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
It's almost like they're waiting for someone like Protect Kids
to come in and pass a law that says you're
going to have to pass the policy that mandates sports
according to biological sex. It's like they're waiting for us
to tell them what to do, because they're not handling
it on their own. And so that's why other school
districts hopefully follows you. But why we hope to pass
state law that mandates every single school district and athletic
(12:10):
league must protect girls.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And you can find out more about her organization Protect
Kids Colorado dot org. You can also find out where
you can sign these petitions for the ballot measures that
she described. I strongly urge you to do so. I've
already done so myself. Aaron Lee our guest. Something I've
spoken about with our mutual friend Jennifer Say and what
a hero she is as well, Aaron the founder of
(12:33):
XXXY Athletics, and I know you two are working very
closely together on these ballot initiatives. Is I would just
want to confront in a debate style in a courtroom.
In a courtroom, Phil Wiser, anybody else saying, Okay, gender's fluid,
we can be either one go one way and know
the other. If that is the case, why can they
not provide examples of any biological female who presents this
(12:59):
male participating in boys sports at the high school level.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I would like to see one example.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Have you ever had that conversation with somebody on the
other side of this argument, and have they been able
to provide that type of example.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Well, first of all, Jens is a total powerhouse and
we are so lucky to have her being the face
of our girls sports initiative. I have worked from parents
that are boys who are uncomfortable with girls in their spaces,
so it goes. Certainly, males have an advantage, and there
is no argument against that. You'll never see one because
it doesn't exist. But we should also consider that the
(13:33):
boys who have girls invading their spaces, the boys who
are being forced to change in a locker room in
front of a gender confused girl, they're also uncomfortable. And
I've had moms come to me and say, it goes
both ways. Our boys are uncomfortable too. Again, this is
a ubiquitous issue. It affects so many people, and the
kids are afraid to say something, especially the young men
who are put in that situation. But I want to
(13:55):
say too. You said you'd like to see this argued
out in court. Here's some good news for everyone. On
January thirteenth, I believe they're twelfth or thirteenth, there are
two cases going before the Supreme Court, Little versus Peacock's
and West Virginia versus BPJ. And these are laws in
Idaho and West Virginia, laws just like our ballot initiative
with protect Kids that did pass, that are protecting females,
(14:18):
and they've been challenged all the way up to the
Supreme Court, and I am one hundred percent certain that
when these are argued before Scotus, we will win that argument.
And what that does is that legitimizes our law once
it passes, and I think encourages the federal government to
finally take action on this.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Let me ask it another way, and again, this is
from a competitive standpoint myself, with the career largely based
in sports broadcasting, in playing baseball myself, and that we
see these examples herein so many times in volleyball, the
girl that got the ball spiked in her face and
still suffers traumatic brain injury symptoms. Long term, we've seen
(14:57):
Leah Thomas, William Thomas dominate the fear field, lap the
field at the NCAA Championships. In swimming, We've seen it
in track and field in high school in Connecticut. We've
seen it in California again along these same lines, where
a biological male comes in, makes a mockery of a
girls sport dominates that sport. My question again, is there
(15:19):
a biological female that has entered the male sphere that
has done the same thing.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Give me one example. That's my question for the other
side on this argument.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
No, no simple answer. No, that doesn't exist unless it was,
like I don't know, like interpretive dance or something where
females just more finet the male did. But no, I've
never heard of that, and I don't think we'll ever
hear of that situation. Everyone knows that the males have
a biological advantage. That's the issue here.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Yeah, when the scoreboards stacked up and it's all of
these examples like I just cited and I just had
a spoonful there off the top of my head, and
you have no examples on the other side, then this
argument does not hold.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
WAW.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It clearly represents what Phil Wiser apparently wants to deny,
and everybody arguing on that side of it wants to
deny that this is all going one hundred percent in
one direction, that is spoiling the opportunities.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
And this is the part too, Aaron, You've.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Got to feel this, I think, especially as a woman,
that Title nine, the designers, the brains behind Title nine,
going back fifty years now, could never have imagined a
scenario where it would be so warped and twisted that actually, yes,
misogyny would enter in and men would be protected under
(16:36):
Title nine in participating in women's sports.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
It blows my mind.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Yeah, it's like we've ventured the twilight zone. And that's
why you see the turf, the trans exclusionary radical feminists
who have risen up. A lot of them are on
my side. A lot of them are carrying these petitions
who we fundamentally disagree on just about everything. Like they're
abortion up until birth. I'm very much not, but we
agree men can't be women as this went too far
that they there were serious unintended consequences of the feminist movement.
(17:03):
I mean, too many to cover in this segment, but
this is one of them that now misogyny has entered
the picture and men are getting preference over women. Men
are being awarded as the women of the year, you know,
across the board in our culture, we're awarding men for
being better women than women. And what message does that
send to little girls. It's absolutely like upside down clown
(17:26):
world that we're living in. And that's why I think
we're going to see the ballot measure pause. We're going
to see these lawsuits succeed. I hope that Brad Miller
in first and fourteenth, who are representing these school districts,
are successful because that will top topple Dominoes and we'll
see a lot of other leagues and institutions fall in line.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Aaron Lee, the founder of Protect Kids Colorado, joining us
a final minute that we have here erin, I want
to give you a chance to use this platform to
promote what the next steps are. You mentioned these lawsuits
coming up a little over a month from now, but
here we are during the holiday season. You've got a
lot of work still to do. As you mentioned, you're
halfway there in half the timeframe. What's next on the agenda?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yes, we just see Colorado's to engage to take a petition.
You can just hit me up at info at protect
Kids Colorado dot org to be a petition circulators. We
need funding to get us over the finish line and
a couple events that are coming up. We'll do another
drive through on January tenth all over the state, so
marks the date. And then also January fifteenth at Brave
(18:25):
Church in Denver, we're bringing out Paula Scanlon who had
to swim with Will Thomas on the team, Titsh Hyman,
the woman who went viral at the gold Gym. Riley
Gaines will make an appearance, Jen say it's going to
be a girl sports powerhouse January fifteenth, the Brave Church.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
She's doing great work and we over a lot protect
Kidscolorado dot org is where you want to go for
more information along lines what she just said on the calendar,
and it is such a noble cause. Aaron Lee, appreciate
your time, all the hard work you're doing. Best of
luck going forward. I'm sure we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yes, thanks Ryan.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
All right, Aaron Lee, right.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
There, your response and reaction at five seven seven three nine.
When we come back, Adam Deriedle joined us. He launches
a primary challenge against Representative Gabe Evans in the eighth
congressional district.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Now, this controversy, let's remember, all started with a Washington
Post story about nine days ago that said after the
first strike, there were two survivors that were helpless, and
then they were ordered to kill these helpless survivors. That
is simply not the case. They were not floating in
the ocean on a wooden plane or in life jackets.
They were on the capsized vessel. They were not incapacitated
(19:40):
in any way. It was entirely appropriate to strike the
boat again to make sure that cargo was destroyed. It
is in no way the violation of the law of war.
And I think the Washington Post o Secretary Hexath and
especially Admiral Mitch Bradley, a highly decorated curer Navy seal
an apology for that slander.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
That's Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican Arkansaw saying that the
Washington Posts owes the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth an
apology along with Admiral Bradley, for slander in the characterization
of this so called double tap the drug card tell
Narco terrorists taking boats across the Gulf of America and
(20:19):
sending those toward the United States, joining US.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Now, he's a military veteran in his own right.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
His new campaign logo, I have to say it resembles
strongly g I Joe, and that was intentional. I gotta
believe it. Adam Derido joins us here live. Adam, thanks
so much for your time.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Now, Ryan, thank you so much for bringing me on
the show. I really appreciate it. You're taking what you
just heard there from Senator Cotton. Yeah, it's very interesting
because as someone you know, nothing I say represents the
Department of Defense of the United States Army. But where
were people for the last twenty years on their criticisms
of what we were doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. I
could tell you from first hand experience. I witnessed double
tap strikes all the time. It just got a standard practice,
(20:57):
you know. But now they want to make a big
issue out of it because now they're seeing it on
live television, you know, kind of like it goes back
to the First Golf War when there was the first
time we saw fully televised war, when F one seventeen
nighthawks were doing laser guid to bomb strikes and sell
fighters and we saw war in real time. And I
think the problem is with most Americans that they become
so desensitized the reality of the horrors of war. They
don't understand war is not supposed to be fair. If
(21:19):
war is fair, then nobody wins.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
And this whole notion of atrocities committed or war crimes.
We're hearing this, you know, term thrown about and to me,
it's losing its sting its value, just like when the
term fascist Nazis is thrown around as well. How would
you define a war crime?
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I mean, war crime is definitely the violation of Low
Act Law of Arm Conflict. You know, there's designations of
that in u CMJ. There's procedures and processes for it.
And as American citizens, as an American service member, you
are entitled to those rights. You know, if you really
think there's a war crimes, there's a set of charges,
there's a whole list of things to go through. But
the problem is is most of Americans are not educated
on that system and how it works, nor to have
(21:58):
they most of them even served in the military. And
the problem is you have a lot of pundits and
retired generals who want to come on and make a
few bucks on Fox News and CNN and give their
own opinions. But they're just doing it for money. They're
not doing it to actually protect our service members and
further the national security interests of the United States.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
The final question on this topic, Adam to Rito, our
guest candidate for Congress in the eighth congressional District. We'll
get to that topic in just a moment, But anything
that you've witnessed over what has been reported, and like
you said, there's only so much that we probably actually
know about what has happened on these strikes against the
Narco terrorists.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Is anything about that a war crime in your mind?
Speaker 8 (22:31):
From a civilian perspective with minimal information, I would say no.
And also you also can't make a good estimate on that.
I've come from the intelligence field. I was an intelligence analyst.
I will tell you that you don't know ninety five
percent of the information. What's going on. What you see
on the news is very minimal. And I will tell
you that if those strikes were authorized by the Secretary
of War Pete Hegseth, they had much more information than
the public did, and those strikes were definitely authorized. And
(22:53):
there's an entire kill chain process as to go through
an entire checks and balance system before that operator pulls
that trigger. Officers who were flying those aircraft and those
drones pulled that trigger, they are also held liable and
if they did it, they did it in a moral
and ethical way according to proper instruction.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Adam, I met you and Carolyn who's also with us
here as well, at the Weld County hodown now in
late October, and going back, it seems like not that
long ago, but has much changed in your mind in
terms of whether or not you were going to enter
this race. Did you know that then at that time
that you were going to do it?
Speaker 8 (23:26):
No, I did not at all. It was we were
kind of fantasizing about the idea of for months. It
was kind of a joke, like, no one. I've been
in the Military Reform area in DC for over fifteen years.
This is kind of what I've done. And you know,
when you get to the point where you've asked every
member of Congress and you've advocated and done the work
and written the bills and worked with multiple veteran advocacy
groups and nobody's stepping up to do the work, well,
(23:47):
then I guess I'm just going to have to go
do it myself. And it got to the point, and
actually it was ironically on September tenth, was the final
decision making process where I was on my way to
DC to do the last push, you know, coming into
the last lobbying season to get things into the NDAA
and everything else before see session ended and I land
on the tarmac and Reagan and I opened up my
phone and Charlie Kirk had just got assassinated. So our
(24:09):
meetings got canceled. Security clariance has got pulled, you know,
they shut down DC and it got to the point
where our representatis were given the final chance to do
the right thing, the final chance to do it, and
then none of them in the state of Colorado would
do it, and we had to make a decision. They're
moving forward, you know, going after the hodown. Where then
if I'm going to do this, then I have to
do it.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Now, Adam de Rito, our guest.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
He is a Republican candidate now just announced yesterday with
his campaign launch in the eighth Congressional District, and of
course that is a seat currently held by Representative Gabe Evans,
himself a veteran and also not only the military, but
of the police force and the General Assembly here in Colorado. So, Adam,
what would be your biggest point of contention You mentioned
something right there, but specifically about Gabe Evans and what
(24:51):
he has not done.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Well, specifically, what he hasn't done is stuck with eliminating
all legal immigration. He recently signed onto the Dignity Act
with representatives and in the eighth Congressional District where there's
high levels of human trafficking cartel activity up the I
twenty five Corridor in seventy six. We can't deal with
this anymore. And we have a lot of legal immigrants
and there's a lot of processing issues and everything else.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But at the end of the.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
Day, we can't keep giving amnesty and conditions where we're
not putting Americans first. And we need representatives that are
going to put Americans first, because we can't keep having
the suicidal empathy where we try to save everybody. I
was an empty I was a firefighter. I was a
first responder as well, right, and at the end of
the day, you realize you can't save everyone, and we
(25:34):
can't save everyone. We have to put Americans in American
communities first. And I think the lack of response, the
lack of showing up to town halls, the lack of
response to constituents. And I supported Gabe Evans. I helped
get him elected. I texted him personally. I was super excited.
I had a fellow National guardsman I was in the
National Guard back then, and we were super excited to
get him in and door knocking and you know, back
and forth. And at the end of the day, it
(25:55):
was just a lot of nothing, a lot of empty handedness.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Annam Derita our guest.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
He's launched his camp just this past Sunday up in
the eighth Congressional District, and I want to talk to
you a bit about the makeup of that district to
Adam and.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
How closely contested this is.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Derek Caraveo won the first ever race in the eighth
as it was newly carved out from the twenty twenty census,
narrowly defeating Barb Kirkmeyer.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
That went well into the night. I was texting with
Barb the knight that she conceded. They don't concede.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
There's may be still a margin that could be made up.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
The same thing happened when Gabe Evans was running against
Caravale the next time around. He said, there are ballots
out there, chase those ballots. Cured those ballots. He ended
up winning. But this is one of the most hotly
contested congressional districts Adam in the entire country. What is
it about your candidacy that you feel you will compete
and contend better in such a closely divided purple district
(26:47):
than Gabe Evans would against a Democrat. Well, here's the thing.
In the eighth district This has been my.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Bloodline for the entire time of my adult career out
here after I left active duty service in twenty ten.
I am the oil and gas worker. I am the farmer,
I am the Army veteran. I am a substitute school
teacher as well. I wear four different hats, and unfortunately
Gabe has never worn any of those hats. Maybe mine
is serving in the Army for a short period of time.
But I work with the unions, and I'm very pro
(27:13):
critical infrastructure unions. I work with these men and women
every day. We're the ones who keep Colorado warm. We're
the one who keeps Colorado lit where we keep it moving,
and we have zero support for that. We lost a
twenty five million dollar paving contract at the local refinery here,
and this is why our roads are actually not getting
paved is because Denver made a decision. Not a single
representative came and stuck up for it and tried to
(27:33):
stop it. And now we're outsourcing our asshoalt production to
a different state and then trucking and slash trading it
back in and raising your taxes and making you pay
more money to do the thing that we could do locally.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
And it's hurting jobs.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
We've lost tens of thousands of oil and gas jobs
in the eighth district since I've lived there. All the
companies I work for are gone, Noble Energy, Anadarko, Baker, Hughes, Halliburton, Slumberget,
They're all gone. All those jobs left and went to Texas.
If we bring those jobs back, it's going to increase
our revenue. We get rid of this one point eight
billion dollar deficit. You know, we make Americans able to
(28:05):
afford their healthcare again, reinflate the coffers of Colorado, and
bring back prosperity to Americans. And I don't see anyone
doing the work except the guys wearing the hard hats
and the steel toe boots out there.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Adam Doedo our guest.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
He has experienced, as he mentioned, in the oil and
gas industry, and I've got a lot of questions about
energy when we come back.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Second part of our conversation coming up next.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
He is challenging Gabe Evans in the eighth Congressional District
in the Republican primary.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
More with Adam after this.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Once in a.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Lifetime David Byrne talking heads there, coming back from break
and you might think that Adam Dorito believes, Hey, this
is his once in a lifetime chance to run for Congress,
and he's doing so now, having announced yesterday up in
Greeley in the eighth congressional district, as I mentioned in
our first segment with Adam, one of the most hotly
contested districts in the nation. There's gonna be a lot
(28:57):
of money poured into this nationwide, both in the day
Democrat side and the Republican side, so a lot of
eyes focused on this race. You can text in questions
for Adam if you have them. I think I'm going
to have him for the next first segment of the
next hour two. We appreciate him being in studio with
us here today. You can text those at five, seven, seven,
three nine.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Here are a few.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
This young man sounds great, real American. Evans is more
Mexican than American. He needs to go. Oh, that is
unnecessarily harsh on the Evans end, but I would agree,
AND's a solid guy. Gabe Evans was an Arvada police
officer and farmer family.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Farm at least Okay duly noted. And then this one I.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Wanted Adam to address specifically the term double tap is
not an official military term, but yet it's widely used
by the media.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
Why is that, Adam, He had a really good answer. Yeah,
this isn't call of duty. And I think, like I said,
Americans are fantasizing about getting a kill strike on the
next game and trying to call on an airstrike or
a drone drop.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Right, that's not how it works normally.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
How kill orders are put in as you are directed
to destroy and eliminate the enemy. It doesn't tell you
how many rounds you are allowed to use, though, so
that solves that issue.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Now, you mentioned you've had been a strong advocate and
supporter for Gabe Evans absolutely when he ran this last
time around. How do you view Gabe as a person,
as a guy that served our country, as a person
that served as a police officer, his record of service.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
Yeah, and here's the thing, this is nothing personal. I
still consider gave a friend, even though he probably doesn't
like me right now. He is a fellow officer, army officer.
I fully respect that. I respect his time as a
police officer. But you are correct, this is the most
hotly contested race in the country, next to maybe the
Georgia Senate race.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Right now, we cannot lose this race.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
And right now, the way the numbers are looking like,
I wouldn't jump into this race if I didn't think
I had a chance. Right, this is not something I
did impulsively. I'm an intelligence aandaeist. I collected a lot
of intelligence on this beforehand. Gave Evans the way things
are going right now with his lack of ability to
show up for his constituents across all spectrums, not just Republicans.
He is failing to show any type of empathy to
the other side. And it's a fifty to fifty district basically, right.
(31:00):
If you're not responding to everyone, everyone matters, even the
people who don't vote for you, And if you don't
show up for them, then who are you showing up for?
And the problem is is, like I said, I am
a union worker, right, I'm a union member. Proud you know,
steel workers union guy. They listen to me. I talk
to them every day. I work with the more Hispanics
every day than most people do. I'm actually the minority
in my job, which is hilarious. Right, I've worked with
(31:21):
these guys for years. I mean, I only worry when
the mariachi music stops outside and I know something's broken,
and then I go outside and go it's up. Guys,
look here what we do right. But the problem with
Gabe is that we can't lose the race. And it's
like what Pete hegg Sat did.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
It's time to.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
Fire some admirals and generals. It's okay to get fired
if you're not stepping up and did the job. We
gave you the chance. Hey, I salute your service, thank
you for the experience, thank you for the mentorship. But
it's time to pass the torch and passing on to
the next generation and give me a chance. And look,
if I fail to do my job, fire me too
and bring on the next guy. That's why we have
two year elections. But we cannot lose the seat to Republicans.
And just based upon my service record and what I've
(31:55):
done for this district in the last fifteen years, right now,
Gabe Evans will lose to the Democratic opponent. Right now,
it looks like it's going to be either Shannon Bird
or many Route now and we cannot lose this district
for President Trump. We cannot lose the district if we
want any actual forms in the last two years.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Of his president.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Say to your point, Adam, Shannon Bird just announced today
that she is running on the Democrat side, and here
we go into the primaries and then that general election.
It's going to be no holds barred either way. Really
in Adam Derita hopes to be the nominee on the
Republican side, supplanting the current sitting Congressman, Representative Gabe Evans.
We were talking during the break, Adam about Representative Maria
(32:30):
Elvira Salazar Republican Florida, and Gabe Evans as well about
potential amnesty for illegal aliens who are here but are
not breaking other laws other than they cross the border illegally.
They're working hard, they're contributing to our economy, to our society.
What do you make though of that gray area between
criminal illegal aliens, which I think it's eighty twenty if
(32:51):
not a ninety ten issued deport all of those and
legal immigrants who we want here. They can, like you
just mentioned, they contribute to our economy and they want
to become Americans.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
They want us some late to our culture. What do
we do to that middle region?
Speaker 8 (33:02):
This is a great example of the ending SEENI to
save in Private Ryan when Captain Miller's sitting there and
he tells Private Ryan earn this.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
As an American, you have to earn it.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
And if you've been here for several years and you're
still skirting the system, you're just taking advantage of the
American tax.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Pair you want to be an American citizen?
Speaker 4 (33:18):
That bad.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
I will take you to the Army recruiting office myself
and I'll get your citizenship in less than three years.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I know you're working the fields and we need those farmers.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
We need our food security out here, absolutely, but we're
also offering you one thousand dollars to go back to
your country.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Do it the right way.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
But as a congressman, the first thing I'm gonna do
is bring in extra federal resources. Hey, you over staate
your visa, We'll make sure we get more immigration judges
out here. But we have to draw a line in
the Sanda District.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Eight.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Enough is enough.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
We can't have suicidal empathy where we're destroying our culture,
our American values, and violating our own constitution by allowing
other people who do not abide by assimilation in our
own culture to become American citizens like we are.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Adam Dorito, our guest. He is the primary challenger right now.
Are you the only one announced as far as I know, Yes,
in the Republican side against Gabe Evans for the primary
in the eighth Congressional District. Quick answer on this, We
might get into more of it in our next hour, Adam,
But you had touchedwn the energy industry, which you have
a strong background in. Is this an area where you
(34:15):
feel that Representative Evans has also come up short because
it's such a big part of the economy, both in
the eighth District and statewide.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
I just got told the other day that my taxes
are going up again this year in Weld County. We
are closing down more jobs and more shops. My union
is threatening to go on strike right now because we've
lost so much revenue just from the.
