Speaker 1 (00:03):
That's right. We're going to start things off a little
bit unorthodox fashion, and I'm going to be joined by
my very own fiance, Kelsey Currents, who's been on this
program a couple of times. But I came across this
story and I could think of no better person to
talk to about it. Let's bring her right in right
off the top here on Ryan Schuling Live, Kelsey, Love
of My Life?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
How are you hire after Love of my Life?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah? See, you weren't expecting the introduction, were you?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
It was not okay, So briefly to preface what I'm
about to play, it's the exact same sound bites I
sent you. And we don't watch these types of shows,
but I know many in our audience might, and if
you do, please text in. At five, seven, seven, three nine.
This is called Love is Blind and at season eight.
And one of the reasons that I decided to go
here to start today's show is they announced last night
(00:53):
this one took place in Minneapolis, that season nine would
be based on a video that they had compiled in
so there's a local flavor to the next season. But Kelsey,
have you ever watched one of these shows? Whether there's
love is blind, The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know, I think I watched like one or two
episodes of The Bachelor when I was like in high school,
so two decades ago are more, and me and my
whole family just thought it was the disavented tripe.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well I think, okay, it was about twenty odd years ago.
More now, I want to say it was about twenty
two years ago. My goodness, gracious, people that are that
old can drink now. But a friend of mine and
I we used to host dinner parties to watch. It
was one of the earliest incarnations of the Bachelor, and
it actually was one of the few that ended up
with a happy outcome. And I believe they make their
(01:45):
home right here in Colorado still. And that's Trista and
Ryan the Firefire. Do you remember that season? Did you watch?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, I didn't watch the season, but I that was
the one that, like I had seen a couple episodes
of and mostly we were intrigued because they're here. I
think the husband lived here something as a firefighter, if
I can remember. And she was the LEAs of the
Bachelor of the first season of The Bachelor, and she
(02:13):
became the bachelorette, and they're like the only one that
has lasted any length of time.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
The only ones.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I think they're the only one.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Your listeners, I'm sure will correct me. But then one
of them went, like, m I A last year.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
What.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I think Ryan had like disappeared.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Do you mean like Olivia Newton John's husband did just
disappeared into the ether believed to be dead.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, but then like they no, no, it was the girl.
It was Trista. She would had like left and there
was some concerns about substance buse disorder, and then she
like magically reappeared, and like, so I don't know, she
wants to rehab or something. I don't know. I mean,
but that poor family, like they have kids and everything.
(03:06):
So I just can't imagine starting a ROO. You have
to be a special kind of stupid, I think, to
try to start a lasting relationship in the public eye.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, yeah, you and I are both averse to that.
That might surprise people that I do this for a living,
hosting a talk show. But Kelsey Currents, my fiancee joining
us here because again, this is the person I would
turn to for opinions. On such matters. But let's just
walk through it one step at a time and maybe
compare our initial outcomes to this one. Now, apparently it
culminates at the end of the season love is blind,
(03:37):
meaning you never meet this person and then you agree
to get engaged get married. I'm not sure if it's
based on a template a questionnaire. I'm not really familiar
about this show. What I'm familiar with, though, is this
the reaction. It's Sarah, it's Ben. Sarah goes up to
the altar, she's in her dress, there are people in attendance,
it's on TV, and she delivers this bombshell.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I love you so much, but I've always wanted a
partner to be on the same wavelength, and so today
I can't. I'm sorry, but I don't want that to
(04:20):
be misunderstood. I still love you and everything about you
is amazing, and I care about you so much.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I care about you too, and I love you so much,
and I know I want to stay with you. I
keep growing our relationship.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
If you will me, we'll see, we'll talk about that.
I know that the connection we have is so real
and my heart is there. But we've talked about a
(04:57):
lot of the values that I hold so close to
my heart. This decision that my mind is telling me.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I can't kelsey. Do they love each other so much?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I would say less each other so much?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Maybe when he even says, hey, I look, I look
forward to maybe developing our relationship. Maybe not now it's
not time time to get marriage because we'll talk about that.
Not so sure, I mean to me, how could you
stay in one moment that's within one minute's time there?
I love you so much, I love everything about you.
I'm all about it. Maybe we're not going to keep
(05:31):
dating though? How do you scare those two things?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
We'll talk about a contradiction in terms. First of all,
I don't know how you can truly genuinely love someone
and not share common value systems.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
With that person, right right.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That's you know, and that's kind of one of the
tenants of our relationship is we're both aligned from a
value system perspective. We're both very clear on where we
each independently stand. If you watch like other clips and
the stuff that you sent me, then it the guy
is like so wishy washy on where he stands with
(06:12):
stuff like black lives matters, And I'll do the taq parentheses,
exclamation point signed community. But I don't think that he is.
I think that he didn't want to say where he
thought he stood because he might get canceled, or he
might lose the girl or whatever. And I don't think
(06:33):
he stood up as a real man should for his
value system and goal. I think they both let us
go on way too long, Like at some point you
cut and run, Like if I now back before I
met you, if I had gone on a date with
somebody and found out that they were like daunch bl
(06:56):
and supporters or something along those lines, or didn't restuct
my spiritual belief or whatever you say. You know, I
don't think we're a good romantic shit and you move on.
That doesn't make them a bad person or you a
bad person.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So what makes both of.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
These people bad people is that they both let this
nonsense go on to the altar.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, what are you chasing here? It would be my
question for Ben. I really want to have a conversation
with Ben, because I think he's a good guy and
he probably has good intentions. But Buddy, I do have
a lot of advice to impart. And this comes from
a guy yours truly at age fifty. That has spent
many more years of my life as a single person
than I have in a relationship or in a marriage,
which I am planning to do with Kelsey Currents. Who
(07:42):
you hear right there, she's my fiance. We're talking about
Love Is Blind season eight. I'm probably going to revive
this conversation for Christian Toto and debraah Floor on Friday
Right Side of Hollywood because there's so many elements here
to break down about the woke left, the cudgeling, the
bullying of Ben, like you are wrong, don't you realize?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Is this?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Since Sarah's just like a ghast, Like.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I was really excited about then, and I'm just like,
he's such a great person.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm just like, but I'm just.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It was a lot, but we're uh for all of this.
I just want to talk to her typical guy stuff here, Kelsey.
I always talk to you about the scene from Dumb
and Dumber where Jim Carrey's talking Lauren Holly and he's saying,
you know, so, what are my chances she goes more
like one in a million? So you're telling me there's
a chance. He just wants to talk to her Kelsey,
(08:50):
if you can just talk to her, maybe he can
make this work, Maybe he can fix it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, well, I think this is like so symptomatic of
the rise of the beta male, right like, which is
also a funny inside joke for the listeners.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
But he.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Tries to play both sides or like, given everybody's jumping
on her being some sort of bully or something, she
at least had the courage to say, Hey, this isn't
gonna work. We're not aligned, like Ben should have done that.
He should have been a man. He is supposedly looking
for his future wife, potential mother of his children. Like
(09:31):
you have to think. I have very dear friends, multiple
friends who are in relationships where they didn't talk about
this kind of stuff. Now they're married, now they have kids.
It's sad to watch and avoidable, especially in the day
and age where everything's so polarized. He had just as
much agency as she did. Felt like some guys forced
(09:55):
to date some girl just because whatever. Like they both
have say though in the and after somebody dump you
walk away cutting run, like, why do you want to
talk to them again? I don't understand, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's one of those things that I learned in therapy
over the years, like why do you need this person
to acknowledge you or validate you? Why is it important
that this person, out of all people you know, why
are you chasing this unattainable goal. She doesn't like you, bro,
she's not into you, bro. And if she doesn't like you,
why are you trying to force that. You're better off
(10:28):
single in my view than you are as Kelsey just described,
and perhaps a trapped relationship where your values don't align
and you're not with the right person, but you're with somebody.
I mean, there's so many people that they just want
to be in a relationship. They just want to be
with somebody. They're so afraid of being alone. Be alone.
It worked for Kelsey, it worked for me. We ended
up with the right person because we didn't rush it
(10:49):
or force it, you know, squarepeg, round hole, that sort
of thing. Kelsey, you were just like I was. I
think from the female perspective of Look, I might not
find the right guy, and that'd be too bad, But
I'm not going to settle for the wrong guy.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Nope, Nope.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
And and I you know, you and I both were
content being on our own and standing on our own
two feet, so we can add so much to each
other's lives. We don't have to compromise on anything. I
mean there is compromise, but true value systems, the things
that are really important, those are laid out. And this
life is hard enough.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You've got to find find your teammates, find your rock.
You're my rock and I love you for that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Thank Yeah. Yeah, Kelsey Currents my fiance joining us. We're
going to break down a little bit more of this.
Love is Blind. Season eight it took place in Minneapolis.
Season nine is in Denver. I can only wait to
see what happens there. I mean, just her value system,
she states it and she's not getting it. So I
don't understand this from both perspectives. You know what you're
getting into. He's a conservative guy from a Christian upbringing.
(11:54):
He has certain values, principal standards, and he shouldn't be
asked to compromise them. And if he did. If he does,
are you going to think more of him or less
of him? As a female? You don't. She doesn't know
what she wants. I don't think because what she's going
to get with this value system, I don't think it's
going to lead to where she thinks it's going to go.
(12:15):
Here's what she was discussing. I think this was like
her mom and her aunt. It was a couple of
older female mentors about Ben not having that value system.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Course, the time frame. I mean I knew the whole
time coming into this, the time frame, Like that's not
like I feel like I know him, like really yeah,
Like I remember, like I asked him about like Black
lives matter, and I'm no expert, but like when I
asked him about it, He's like, I guess I never
really thought too.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Much about it that affected me, especially in our own city,
Like how could it not? How do you not make
you think about something? I asked him too, like what
his church's views are, and he said he didn't know.
And so that I watched a sermon online about sexual
(13:01):
identity and it was traditional. I told that today, fun,
it doesn't really have much to say about it, you know,
I'm lovetome to think about that stuff. Sometimes I did
wonder if it was surface fun, care free love, that
we had equality, religion, the vaccine, equality, the vaccine.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I become ut boy, run my son, run for the hills.
This ain't who you want it's never gonna fit. You're
never gonna shoehorn this relationship into working. And where I'm
coming down on this Kelse is I hear her I
need this and I want this, and he doesn't believe
this and he needs to align with it. I mean,
this is such, in my view, a very self centered,
(13:48):
narcissistic view, and I always view it in these terms.
I've told you about two things. One, it's the gal
that posts selfies of herself on Facebook on wherever every
single day. Imagine if a guy does it, and then
you're like, whoa, that dude's messed up. But for some reason,
women do it all the time. Then I see these
two and you could correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe
I'm being the misogynist here. Women with these like I
(14:10):
don't know, they pull these quotes or these inspirational whatever.
It's like, you deserve a man who does ABC, XYZ
and every letter in between. Don't sell yourself. Like, wait
a minute, isn't this a two way street? Doesn't the
guy come to the table? And one, you know what,
I'd like a couple of things too.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Click it again, it goes both ways. Neither one of
these people should be dating anybody because they're so neither
one of them knows where they sit or has really
thought through things. You can't logically think through the left foot.
I'm just going to pick on a quality here for
(14:48):
a second because it's such a poisoned word. What they're
talking about is equity versus equality. Everybody has equal opportunities,
and that's true quality. They're talking about equity and you
play that take forward and everybody loses. Women. I really
(15:09):
blame women for this. As a woman, I feel like
I'm able to say this. I blame women because women
will date people who don't hold them accountable or who
are like that this ben guy wish she watching on stuff,
and we're okay settling for beta males because we think,
oh we're we are women hear me, moar, but but
(15:31):
the but the reality is when you date a strong man,
you get to be the strongest woman, stronger than you
ever thought possible. First of all, so you're not doing
yourself any favors and you're not you're not getting anybody
to take you seriously when you talk about stuff like that.
She's just I broke up with him because of black
(15:51):
Black lives matter stuff. But I'm no expert on it,
so she hasn't done any homework. She's just kind of
listening to whatever narrative blows her bow or whatever it's
going to get her more likes on her Instagram and
what her girlfriends are going to tell her over macha
after yoga like this, she is a Laura. These people
(16:12):
do not critically think about anything, and you shouldn't be
dating if you have not critically thought about why you
stand for what you stand for and play that deep forward.
It's not fair to you and it's not fair to
the other person.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Black Lives Matter not to mention a fraudulent organization that
built people out of millions and paid for mansions of
its leaders. I mean, what a tremendous grift that was
while it lasted. Breaking down Love Is Blind Season eight
in Minneapolis, the very woke Sarah with the very not
woke Ben. But it gets worse. He starts apologizing for
who he is, and he's being pressured and again just
(16:48):
pummeled into submission. Here breaking it down with Kelsey Currents
my fiance. Here's Ben, and he goes this precarious step
of acknowledging his privilege.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
I mean something, I just want to make clear too
about you know, Sarah's reason to say, you know what
the altar with the social issues and everything.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I knew coming in this experiment.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
I definitely have had privilege in my life and it's
something that I wasn't proud of and something I knew
I needed to grow.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And then coming into this, I knew.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
It was important to Sarah in the pods, and so
I want to be vulnerable and be like, hey, I
haven't given it much thought, and you know, I'm embarrassed
the way that, you know, our conversation had gone at
the beginning there, but then we had great conversations about it,
and so there's just a definite.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Impact on me.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
And I'm Sarah think for that, and I know it's
kind of sad that it took you someone to make
me think that way.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
It is sad and a couple of things from a
male's perspective, Buddy, you start compromising and backpedaling on what
you stand for, who you are, it's never going to stop.
You're never going to please this woman. You're always going
to have to jump through the next hurdle or the
next hoop. It's never going to be enough. There will
be no end to it. It's like negotiating with a terrorist.
It just is. And for his part here he recognizes
(17:55):
that he has privilege in his life. It's something he's
not proud of. And it goes back to my axiom Kelsey,
which is like out of the gate, I am a
bad guy according to the left because one I'm white.
I couldn't control that. Two am male, I didn't control that.
I was born that way. And three I'm heterosexual. I
couldn't control that. So three strikes. I'm out. But Ben's
trying to undo those three strikes.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, and he said I'm embarrassed. He starts out with
I'm embarrassed. Ben, you should be embarrassed. You should absolutely
be embarrassed because statistically, we have proven the white privilege
card whatever is nonsense, it doesn't exist. The women's pays
payscale whatever, we've proven that to be false. We've proven
(18:40):
all of these different ideologies false and Ben should as Again,
everybody's like team Ben on this, and I think Ben
is the Ben is the person at fault because he
at least she stands for something. She's an idiot and
she doesn't understand why she stands for it. But at
least she stands first step. He doesn't stand for anything.
(19:02):
And then he comes back and he's just going where
the wind takes him or whatever. And so yeah, maybe
they do deserve each other. I don't know, but he
should absolutely be embarrassed. What kind of man?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's a guy move like there's a difference between men
and guys's being a total guy?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Wow? You know, I want a way to break it down.
Kelsey currents my fiance with this one final clip here
from Love Is Blind season eight. It's instructive. I think
it really is telling Nick Lachet, who I think reveals
himself to be a lefty. I don't know that any
of us are surprised here, but rather than turn to
her and maybe this happened in the show, maybe it didn't,
but it didn't in the clips that I saw turn
us stair. Wait a minute, you know you're holding him
(19:44):
to all these standards. What is Black Lives Matter?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
What does that mean? Where did that come from? Did
you realize that the organization built people out of millions
and donations and it was totally fraudulent, has fallen apart
under the weight of itself. Now nothing to question her.
She's in the clear, she's on the high, she is
in the Ivory tower and in her throne, and they
are just deciding. They're turned to bed and be like, dude,
what about your church? How can they be against gays?
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Issues that came up was the issue of gay marriage.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
And there was a particular time and you were time
together where you said you couldn't remember your church's stance
on gay marriage. Was that true you simply couldn't remember,
or was it maybe that you just didn't want to
acknowledge the reality of your church's stance on gay marriage.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Yeah, it was honestly that I didn't remember because I
didn't ever need to know because there wasn't really anyone
in my life that it really pertained to. And it
wasn't something on my head. And I'm not proud of it.
It's something that I was, you know, as I grow older,
I knew I needed to grow into And so that's
probably why I try to.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Go to church every weekend.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Don't go every weekend.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
So you know, sermon that Sarah watched, I don't remember
because maybe I wasn't there, or maybe it just didn't
you know, hit home to me because it wasn't something
that was in my life at the time, or whatever
it may be.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, whatever it may be, well what it is. There's
a saying in politics, never apologize, never explain. If you're explaining,
you're losing. But there's one end of this spectrum, Kelsey
I would say, is kid Rock where he was interviewed
by Tucker Carlson and haven't been canceled yet. He goes,
I'm uncancellable. You know, I'm not going to allow myself
to be canceled. I'm going to say who I am,
speak my mind. My true fans will follow, and those
(21:19):
that don't basically blank you. But on the other end
of the spectrum, here's Ben. He's just spinning rights. He's backpedaling,
he's retreating, he's apologizing, and to my point, Kelsey Niicolache
is on him about it, it's never going to end.
He's given in on this ground. He started to crumble.
He doesn't stand on principle and therefore he stands for nothing,
and people feel they can push him around totally.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
And he said, I'm embarrassed, but well, you know what, Ben,
you should be embarrassed by it. You should be ashamed
of it. He should know where your church stands, Like
these kind of basic tenants of theology should dictate where
you go to church. You should understand them first of all,
and don't apologize if you're a church, if your religion,
if what you hold deer has a certain viewpoint, and
(22:05):
I'm very we all have different spirituality and my upbringing
in the church was very, very very conservative, which is
really formed my viewpoints on it. But don't apologize for
where you stand on stuff. Now. I personally think that
I don't think it's anybody's place to judge anybody. And
(22:25):
I love the Gaves, not the I love the Gaves.
But also, as religious people, you can you can and
should say I can love this person. I can love
everybody even though they might be doing maybe they're gambling,
maybe they're cheating on their wife, maybe they're doing whatever.
You can hold those tenants deer and also still love
(22:49):
the person and not condone them because you're just as
flawed as everybody else. Like at what point you have
to cave to this woke mob whatever that we can't
even that we have to acquiesce that right is right
and wrong or right is wrong and wrong is right,
just so someone else doesn't feel bad. That's ridiculous. That's
(23:10):
absolutely ridiculous. And I think you're right. If you don't
stand for something, you're gonna stand.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
For nothing and be knocked down and repeatedly. And for Ben,
I would just end with this. If you stand on principle,
if you be yourself, if you're true to yourself, then
you're going to find the right person that fits with
that real version of yourself. And if you don't, then
you haven't met her yet. And it certainly wasn't Sarah.
And you chalk it up, and like Kelsey said, you
move on. You cut paid, there's no going back. You
(23:38):
just don't grovel. That's another bad look. No woman likes that,
No woman wants that. They're not going to love that.
So you got to stay strong. You got to be yourself,
and you've got to just hold out for that one
true love that's going to admire you and acknowledge you
and recognize you for who you are. And Kelsey, I
found that in you. So thank you so much for
joining me.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Today, OK, for heading me on.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
All right, I'll see you later tonight, Kelsey, current's my fiance.

Colorado Republican Party chair. Reaction to the opening segment mixed.
I figured it would be, but it's pop culture relevant
and it's going to be local. It's coming to Denver
(25:11):
season nine of Love is Blind. We'll discuss this obviously
more with Christian Toto Dubb or Flora on the Right
Side of Hollywood on Friday, because there are so many
cultural implications behind the finale last night. I don't watch
these shows, but this was brought to my attention and
it was just staggering. It really was one sided. We expected,
but the result was disappointing for multiple reasons that Kelsey
(25:31):
touched down the last segment. This one says, Ryan, I
think the iHeartRadio feed is wrong. I hear your voice,
but it's TMC level. I think you mean buzz on
the feed BuzzFeed. There were some clips there that I
wish the audio was better, but it was the best
I had at the time, and so sometimes you got
to make lemonade on a lemons there. So I apologize
if it wasn't sounding good. Hopefully we're back to square
(25:52):
one in regular now. Text her if you can let
me know, that'd be great. This from Alexa. I loved
the Love Vote. My coworkers used to call me Julie
for Julie McCoy, the cruise director. I always was coordinating
get togethers for co workers. Yes, Alexa, and you are
our cruise director should you choose to be. You have
been so anointed. Appreciate that this person not Havy w
(26:14):
T who gives a crap about this BS show. I'm
aut ready to listen to Blank and Baseball new topic. Please,
I'm going to accommodate you. Just please be patient. That's
all I ask for. But again, this is coming local.
We're going to be watching this a little bit more closely.
And think of the couples that'll commiserate at Denver establishments,
(26:35):
and there are details on that online you can find
at Fox thirty one. Jim says, get a room, you guys.
Goll Kelsey and I intend to. And she's wonderful and
I'm just very proud of her. This one says that
lucky bastard dodged a huge bullet. Somebody needs to tell
Ben that Texter, because you're absolutely right, Ben has this
(26:56):
all wrong. You can't navigate this minefield. Even then, why
would you want to navigate this minefield? If you're with
the right person, you don't have to navigate a minefield.
This isn't mcgiver. Don't do that. Natalie Tennant founder of
Never Surrender National leading us into our next segment, says
Britta has my full endorsement. Well, we'll get into some
(27:18):
of those details when we come back. And the incident
at the I Hop in Greenwood Village, Darcy Shaning serving
up papers a lawsuit to Britta Horn. Britta joins us
after this on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Like many families, the Colorado Republican Party tends to have
its fights and meltdowns in public. Today, one faction of
the party served another faction of the party with a
lawsuit at an I Hoop restaurant. As diners in Greenwood
Village enjoyed the breakfast Faves Combo, the House Scramble, and
the Pancake of the Month, one candidate for the Colorado
GOP chair dropped a double stack of litigation on the
(27:57):
plate of arrival. This stems from the Republican civil war
over whether to replace current state Chairman Dave Williams, who
is accused of misusing party funds for his failed GOP
primary bid for Congress and for the hassle he created
for Colorado Republicans.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
With his call to burn all Pride flags.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
But back to the Eye Hop, home of a new
spicy shredded beef anytime Tacos where the spicy lawsuit served
this morning shreds the Republicans who tried unsuccessfully to force
out Chairman Williams. She got Darcy Channing, current party leader
who's running for chair in next month's elections, who served
papers this morning on Britta Horn, a rival candidate for
chair who's part of the uprising. They were both at
(28:37):
the I Hop for interviews with the local talk radio
show doing a live broadcast from the Pancake House. Neither
woman waffled when I reached out to him today. Channing
says Horn stole money from party donors.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Horn called it a frivolous attack. Well, it provided a
lot of fodder for the likes of Comrade Kyle in
nine News, But we needed more than that from Britta Horn,
and she joins us now on Ryan Shuling Live. Britta,
take us back to that morning at the Greenwood Village,
ihop what happened? Sure?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
And Ryan, thanks for having me. And like I said
in my press release when we first heard about this lawsuit,
this is a page from the democrats playbook. Weaponizing the
legal system, as President Trump's political opponents did to him,
and I also said Ryan, this will not deter me
from my goal of uniting Colorado Republican Party and moving
the party past the organization to attack fellow members. So
(29:27):
I want to talk about what twenty twenty six can
look like for Republicans and not argue about twenty twenty
four and what it could have looked like. My entire
campaign is focused on the issues that we will face,
ezer If, I am your next chair, and I'm happy
to join the show and discuss the bright future of
the Colorado Party. We're here with you today.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
And Britta, you have some big names lining up behind you.
Natalie Tenna just texted the show the founder of never
Star International and we know the hiding and all spoke
on your behalf to the log Cabin Republicans. I think
it's important though, that we illustrate the contrast between you
and Darcy Shaning, the two prominent candidates at this moment.
Are there others that have joined yet and if so,
(30:09):
who are they and how do you distinguish yourself from them?
Speaker 4 (30:13):
And there's many other ones, And how I distinguish myself
different from them is that I'm doing nothing of the drama.
The last few years with this party. I am bringing
forward Oaks goun on the call coming in. Sorry, I'm
bringing forward it's a busy.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Day about that's no problem.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
And I'm bringing forward the three pieces that are so
important to the party and the job of the chair
in It's first to elect more Republicans. Ryan, We've talked
about this before. I thought it was only sixteen open
seats where Democrats had no Republicans coming after them for
their seats for House and Senate and even das. But
(30:50):
it's up to eighteen. I forgot about a Board of
Education that went unopposed and an automatic Democrat went in.
And another piece is also growing the We have so
many different groups here that are all in silos, like
I like to say up here in the ranch silos,
and we're not talking to each other. And we need
to get our teams together and work together. Because we
(31:11):
were able to find up to eighty people all across
the state that was willing to make phone calls for
four candidates when we had to do the carrying the ballots,
and everybody was more than willing to help once they
learned the process. And that's what's not happening. There's no foundation.
There's no infrastructure with the party in the last few years,
and we need to change that. And finally, like that
(31:32):
call coming in, I have huge donors set on one
of fundraise that we're fundraising with and are pledging to
be a part of this team. We definitely day one,
March thirty first first and I'm hitting the send button
to an accounting firm so we can do an individual, independent,
third party audit on the books as far back as
we need to go, because we're never going to get
(31:53):
the trust and honesty and integrity back from Colorado until
we show transparency to.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Horn dot com where you can find out more the trust,
the integrity, the transparency. That's all very important, right, I agree,
But also enthusiasm. There's a gap that appears in enthusiasm,
in rallying the troops and getting people excited to vote
and having them believe we can win. Where does that
start for the Republican Party in Colorado if you're in charge, Well,
I think.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
It starts by being part of the team and being
part of a group. This isn't a single job, person job.
This is a whole crew and a whole group of people.
We've already had successes. In spite of the party, we
were able to get those four candidates across and if
you remember, it was Gave Evans and we got Gave
Trump President Trump, another congressman and it was also Dan
(32:40):
rug Ryan Gonzalez and Rebecca Kelt. We all work together
to in spite of the party and put together a
plan to make sure that all those ballots got cured
and we got them across the finish line. Everybody wants
to be a part of a winning team.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yes, And Bretta, we can tell from your attitude you
have that enthusiasm. You've done it in your life fighting fires, namely,
but also boots on the ground in other ways in
trying to generate support for I think a positive vision
for the Republican Party. What is the biggest message you
would give to an undecided or unaffiliated voter out there
that might be open to the Republican message, but maybe
(33:16):
it hasn't been delivered in a way that's convinced them.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
We have to definitely work on that and work on
our communications with everybody and having it being both to directions,
so cheer from everybody. I'm getting a lot of people
on social media and over on x that are saying, hey,
can we have coffee. We've never talked about this before
with Republicans, whether Libertarians or you know, center people or
center even left. You know, we're seeing after last Tuesday
(33:39):
when President trub gave his message to the country and
watched how the Democrats sat down with all those people
that we should be proud of and beer proud of
being Americans too, We're starting to see Democrats falling away
from the Democrat Party and they're looking for a place
to go. I'm just saying, we're rolling out the welcome matt,
opening up the tent. Come on in, and let's find
(34:00):
things that we can get in common with and win
for Colorado.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
She is a busy woman, so we'll let her go.
On that note, you can find out more about her
campaign for Colorado State Republican Party Chair Britdahorn dot com.
Britta always thankful for your time. We'll talk again soon,
Thanks Ryan, Britta Horn right there and you can text
us your thoughts at five seven, seven thirty nine, including
this one from Frandy who is KBB back and Christy
(34:24):
Burton Brown, former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. Well, Frandy,
you'll be happy to know I just reached out to
KBB because of your text. Via text to KBB, we'll
see what she replies with and whatever she's okay going
public with, I'll report back to you. Starting up our
number two. Stay tuned, big ruling. The United States Supreme
Court is taking up a case from right here in
(34:44):
Colorado
That's right. We're going to start things off a little
bit unorthodox fashion, and I'm going to be joined by
my very own fiance, Kelsey Currents, who's been on this
program a couple of times. But I came across this
story and I could think of no better person to
talk to about it. Let's bring her right in right
off the top here on Ryan Schuling Live, Kelsey, Love
of My Life?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
How are you hire after Love of my Life?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah? See, you weren't expecting the introduction, were you?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
It was not okay, So briefly to preface what I'm
about to play, it's the exact same sound bites I
sent you. And we don't watch these types of shows,
but I know many in our audience might, and if
you do, please text in. At five, seven, seven, three nine.
This is called Love is Blind and at season eight.
And one of the reasons that I decided to go
here to start today's show is they announced last night
(00:53):
this one took place in Minneapolis, that season nine would
be based on a video that they had compiled in
so there's a local flavor to the next season. But Kelsey,
have you ever watched one of these shows? Whether there's
love is blind, The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know, I think I watched like one or two
episodes of The Bachelor when I was like in high school,
so two decades ago are more, and me and my
whole family just thought it was the disavented tripe.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well I think, okay, it was about twenty odd years ago.
More now, I want to say it was about twenty
two years ago. My goodness, gracious, people that are that
old can drink now. But a friend of mine and
I we used to host dinner parties to watch. It
was one of the earliest incarnations of the Bachelor, and
it actually was one of the few that ended up
with a happy outcome. And I believe they make their
(01:45):
home right here in Colorado still. And that's Trista and
Ryan the Firefire. Do you remember that season? Did you watch?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, I didn't watch the season, but I that was
the one that, like I had seen a couple episodes
of and mostly we were intrigued because they're here. I
think the husband lived here something as a firefighter, if
I can remember. And she was the LEAs of the
Bachelor of the first season of The Bachelor, and she
(02:13):
became the bachelorette, and they're like the only one that
has lasted any length of time.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
The only ones.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I think they're the only one.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Your listeners, I'm sure will correct me. But then one
of them went, like, m I A last year.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
What.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I think Ryan had like disappeared.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Do you mean like Olivia Newton John's husband did just
disappeared into the ether believed to be dead.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, but then like they no, no, it was the girl.
It was Trista. She would had like left and there
was some concerns about substance buse disorder, and then she
like magically reappeared, and like, so I don't know, she
wants to rehab or something. I don't know. I mean,
but that poor family, like they have kids and everything.
(03:06):
So I just can't imagine starting a ROO. You have
to be a special kind of stupid, I think, to
try to start a lasting relationship in the public eye.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, yeah, you and I are both averse to that.
That might surprise people that I do this for a living,
hosting a talk show. But Kelsey Currents, my fiancee joining
us here because again, this is the person I would
turn to for opinions. On such matters. But let's just
walk through it one step at a time and maybe
compare our initial outcomes to this one. Now, apparently it
culminates at the end of the season love is blind,
(03:37):
meaning you never meet this person and then you agree
to get engaged get married. I'm not sure if it's
based on a template a questionnaire. I'm not really familiar
about this show. What I'm familiar with, though, is this
the reaction. It's Sarah, it's Ben. Sarah goes up to
the altar, she's in her dress, there are people in attendance,
it's on TV, and she delivers this bombshell.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I love you so much, but I've always wanted a
partner to be on the same wavelength, and so today
I can't. I'm sorry, but I don't want that to
(04:20):
be misunderstood. I still love you and everything about you
is amazing, and I care about you so much.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I care about you too, and I love you so much,
and I know I want to stay with you. I
keep growing our relationship.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
If you will me, we'll see, we'll talk about that.
I know that the connection we have is so real
and my heart is there. But we've talked about a
(04:57):
lot of the values that I hold so close to
my heart. This decision that my mind is telling me.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I can't kelsey. Do they love each other so much?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I would say less each other so much?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Maybe when he even says, hey, I look, I look
forward to maybe developing our relationship. Maybe not now it's
not time time to get marriage because we'll talk about that.
Not so sure, I mean to me, how could you
stay in one moment that's within one minute's time there?
I love you so much, I love everything about you.
I'm all about it. Maybe we're not going to keep
(05:31):
dating though? How do you scare those two things?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
We'll talk about a contradiction in terms. First of all,
I don't know how you can truly genuinely love someone
and not share common value systems.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
With that person, right right.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That's you know, and that's kind of one of the
tenants of our relationship is we're both aligned from a
value system perspective. We're both very clear on where we
each independently stand. If you watch like other clips and
the stuff that you sent me, then it the guy
is like so wishy washy on where he stands with
(06:12):
stuff like black lives matters, And I'll do the taq parentheses,
exclamation point signed community. But I don't think that he is.
I think that he didn't want to say where he
thought he stood because he might get canceled, or he
might lose the girl or whatever. And I don't think
(06:33):
he stood up as a real man should for his
value system and goal. I think they both let us
go on way too long, Like at some point you
cut and run, Like if I now back before I
met you, if I had gone on a date with
somebody and found out that they were like daunch bl
(06:56):
and supporters or something along those lines, or didn't restuct
my spiritual belief or whatever you say. You know, I
don't think we're a good romantic shit and you move on.
That doesn't make them a bad person or you a
bad person.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So what makes both of.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
These people bad people is that they both let this
nonsense go on to the altar.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, what are you chasing here? It would be my
question for Ben. I really want to have a conversation
with Ben, because I think he's a good guy and
he probably has good intentions. But Buddy, I do have
a lot of advice to impart. And this comes from
a guy yours truly at age fifty. That has spent
many more years of my life as a single person
than I have in a relationship or in a marriage,
which I am planning to do with Kelsey Currents. Who
(07:42):
you hear right there, she's my fiance. We're talking about
Love Is Blind season eight. I'm probably going to revive
this conversation for Christian Toto and debraah Floor on Friday
Right Side of Hollywood because there's so many elements here
to break down about the woke left, the cudgeling, the
bullying of Ben, like you are wrong, don't you realize?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Is this?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Since Sarah's just like a ghast, Like.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I was really excited about then, and I'm just like,
he's such a great person.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm just like, but I'm just.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It was a lot, but we're uh for all of this.
I just want to talk to her typical guy stuff here, Kelsey.
I always talk to you about the scene from Dumb
and Dumber where Jim Carrey's talking Lauren Holly and he's saying,
you know, so, what are my chances she goes more
like one in a million? So you're telling me there's
a chance. He just wants to talk to her Kelsey,
(08:50):
if you can just talk to her, maybe he can
make this work, Maybe he can fix it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, well, I think this is like so symptomatic of
the rise of the beta male, right like, which is
also a funny inside joke for the listeners.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
But he.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Tries to play both sides or like, given everybody's jumping
on her being some sort of bully or something, she
at least had the courage to say, Hey, this isn't
gonna work. We're not aligned, like Ben should have done that.
He should have been a man. He is supposedly looking
for his future wife, potential mother of his children. Like
(09:31):
you have to think. I have very dear friends, multiple
friends who are in relationships where they didn't talk about
this kind of stuff. Now they're married, now they have kids.
It's sad to watch and avoidable, especially in the day
and age where everything's so polarized. He had just as
much agency as she did. Felt like some guys forced
(09:55):
to date some girl just because whatever. Like they both
have say though in the and after somebody dump you
walk away cutting run, like, why do you want to
talk to them again? I don't understand, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's one of those things that I learned in therapy
over the years, like why do you need this person
to acknowledge you or validate you? Why is it important
that this person, out of all people you know, why
are you chasing this unattainable goal. She doesn't like you, bro,
she's not into you, bro. And if she doesn't like you,
why are you trying to force that. You're better off
(10:28):
single in my view than you are as Kelsey just described,
and perhaps a trapped relationship where your values don't align
and you're not with the right person, but you're with somebody.
I mean, there's so many people that they just want
to be in a relationship. They just want to be
with somebody. They're so afraid of being alone. Be alone.
It worked for Kelsey, it worked for me. We ended
up with the right person because we didn't rush it
(10:49):
or force it, you know, squarepeg, round hole, that sort
of thing. Kelsey, you were just like I was. I
think from the female perspective of Look, I might not
find the right guy, and that'd be too bad, But
I'm not going to settle for the wrong guy.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Nope, Nope.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
And and I you know, you and I both were
content being on our own and standing on our own
two feet, so we can add so much to each
other's lives. We don't have to compromise on anything. I
mean there is compromise, but true value systems, the things
that are really important, those are laid out. And this
life is hard enough.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You've got to find find your teammates, find your rock.
You're my rock and I love you for that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Thank Yeah. Yeah, Kelsey Currents my fiance joining us. We're
going to break down a little bit more of this.
Love is Blind. Season eight it took place in Minneapolis.
Season nine is in Denver. I can only wait to
see what happens there. I mean, just her value system,
she states it and she's not getting it. So I
don't understand this from both perspectives. You know what you're
getting into. He's a conservative guy from a Christian upbringing.
(11:54):
He has certain values, principal standards, and he shouldn't be
asked to compromise them. And if he did. If he does,
are you going to think more of him or less
of him? As a female? You don't. She doesn't know
what she wants. I don't think because what she's going
to get with this value system, I don't think it's
going to lead to where she thinks it's going to go.
(12:15):
Here's what she was discussing. I think this was like
her mom and her aunt. It was a couple of
older female mentors about Ben not having that value system.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Course, the time frame. I mean I knew the whole
time coming into this, the time frame, Like that's not
like I feel like I know him, like really yeah,
Like I remember, like I asked him about like Black
lives matter, and I'm no expert, but like when I
asked him about it, He's like, I guess I never
really thought too.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Much about it that affected me, especially in our own city,
Like how could it not? How do you not make
you think about something? I asked him too, like what
his church's views are, and he said he didn't know.
And so that I watched a sermon online about sexual
(13:01):
identity and it was traditional. I told that today, fun,
it doesn't really have much to say about it, you know,
I'm lovetome to think about that stuff. Sometimes I did
wonder if it was surface fun, care free love, that
we had equality, religion, the vaccine, equality, the vaccine.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I become ut boy, run my son, run for the hills.
This ain't who you want it's never gonna fit. You're
never gonna shoehorn this relationship into working. And where I'm
coming down on this Kelse is I hear her I
need this and I want this, and he doesn't believe
this and he needs to align with it. I mean,
this is such, in my view, a very self centered,
(13:48):
narcissistic view, and I always view it in these terms.
I've told you about two things. One, it's the gal
that posts selfies of herself on Facebook on wherever every
single day. Imagine if a guy does it, and then
you're like, whoa, that dude's messed up. But for some reason,
women do it all the time. Then I see these
two and you could correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe
I'm being the misogynist here. Women with these like I
(14:10):
don't know, they pull these quotes or these inspirational whatever.
It's like, you deserve a man who does ABC, XYZ
and every letter in between. Don't sell yourself. Like, wait
a minute, isn't this a two way street? Doesn't the
guy come to the table? And one, you know what,
I'd like a couple of things too.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Click it again, it goes both ways. Neither one of
these people should be dating anybody because they're so neither
one of them knows where they sit or has really
thought through things. You can't logically think through the left foot.
I'm just going to pick on a quality here for
(14:48):
a second because it's such a poisoned word. What they're
talking about is equity versus equality. Everybody has equal opportunities,
and that's true quality. They're talking about equity and you
play that take forward and everybody loses. Women. I really
(15:09):
blame women for this. As a woman, I feel like
I'm able to say this. I blame women because women
will date people who don't hold them accountable or who
are like that this ben guy wish she watching on stuff,
and we're okay settling for beta males because we think,
oh we're we are women hear me, moar, but but
(15:31):
the but the reality is when you date a strong man,
you get to be the strongest woman, stronger than you
ever thought possible. First of all, so you're not doing
yourself any favors and you're not you're not getting anybody
to take you seriously when you talk about stuff like that.
She's just I broke up with him because of black
(15:51):
Black lives matter stuff. But I'm no expert on it,
so she hasn't done any homework. She's just kind of
listening to whatever narrative blows her bow or whatever it's
going to get her more likes on her Instagram and
what her girlfriends are going to tell her over macha
after yoga like this, she is a Laura. These people
(16:12):
do not critically think about anything, and you shouldn't be
dating if you have not critically thought about why you
stand for what you stand for and play that deep forward.
It's not fair to you and it's not fair to
the other person.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Black Lives Matter not to mention a fraudulent organization that
built people out of millions and paid for mansions of
its leaders. I mean, what a tremendous grift that was
while it lasted. Breaking down Love Is Blind Season eight
in Minneapolis, the very woke Sarah with the very not
woke Ben. But it gets worse. He starts apologizing for
who he is, and he's being pressured and again just
(16:48):
pummeled into submission. Here breaking it down with Kelsey Currents
my fiance. Here's Ben, and he goes this precarious step
of acknowledging his privilege.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
I mean something, I just want to make clear too
about you know, Sarah's reason to say, you know what
the altar with the social issues and everything.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I knew coming in this experiment.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
I definitely have had privilege in my life and it's
something that I wasn't proud of and something I knew
I needed to grow.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And then coming into this, I knew.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
It was important to Sarah in the pods, and so
I want to be vulnerable and be like, hey, I
haven't given it much thought, and you know, I'm embarrassed
the way that, you know, our conversation had gone at
the beginning there, but then we had great conversations about it,
and so there's just a definite.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Impact on me.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
And I'm Sarah think for that, and I know it's
kind of sad that it took you someone to make
me think that way.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
It is sad and a couple of things from a
male's perspective, Buddy, you start compromising and backpedaling on what
you stand for, who you are, it's never going to stop.
You're never going to please this woman. You're always going
to have to jump through the next hurdle or the
next hoop. It's never going to be enough. There will
be no end to it. It's like negotiating with a terrorist.
It just is. And for his part here he recognizes
(17:55):
that he has privilege in his life. It's something he's
not proud of. And it goes back to my axiom Kelsey,
which is like out of the gate, I am a
bad guy according to the left because one I'm white.
I couldn't control that. Two am male, I didn't control that.
I was born that way. And three I'm heterosexual. I
couldn't control that. So three strikes. I'm out. But Ben's
trying to undo those three strikes.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, and he said I'm embarrassed. He starts out with
I'm embarrassed. Ben, you should be embarrassed. You should absolutely
be embarrassed because statistically, we have proven the white privilege
card whatever is nonsense, it doesn't exist. The women's pays
payscale whatever, we've proven that to be false. We've proven
(18:40):
all of these different ideologies false and Ben should as Again,
everybody's like team Ben on this, and I think Ben
is the Ben is the person at fault because he
at least she stands for something. She's an idiot and
she doesn't understand why she stands for it. But at
least she stands first step. He doesn't stand for anything.
(19:02):
And then he comes back and he's just going where
the wind takes him or whatever. And so yeah, maybe
they do deserve each other. I don't know, but he
should absolutely be embarrassed. What kind of man?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's a guy move like there's a difference between men
and guys's being a total guy?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Wow? You know, I want a way to break it down.
Kelsey currents my fiance with this one final clip here
from Love Is Blind season eight. It's instructive. I think
it really is telling Nick Lachet, who I think reveals
himself to be a lefty. I don't know that any
of us are surprised here, but rather than turn to
her and maybe this happened in the show, maybe it didn't,
but it didn't in the clips that I saw turn
us stair. Wait a minute, you know you're holding him
(19:44):
to all these standards. What is Black Lives Matter?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
What does that mean? Where did that come from? Did
you realize that the organization built people out of millions
and donations and it was totally fraudulent, has fallen apart
under the weight of itself. Now nothing to question her.
She's in the clear, she's on the high, she is
in the Ivory tower and in her throne, and they
are just deciding. They're turned to bed and be like, dude,
what about your church? How can they be against gays?
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Issues that came up was the issue of gay marriage.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
And there was a particular time and you were time
together where you said you couldn't remember your church's stance
on gay marriage. Was that true you simply couldn't remember,
or was it maybe that you just didn't want to
acknowledge the reality of your church's stance on gay marriage.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Yeah, it was honestly that I didn't remember because I
didn't ever need to know because there wasn't really anyone
in my life that it really pertained to. And it
wasn't something on my head. And I'm not proud of it.
It's something that I was, you know, as I grow older,
I knew I needed to grow into And so that's
probably why I try to.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Go to church every weekend.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Don't go every weekend.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
So you know, sermon that Sarah watched, I don't remember
because maybe I wasn't there, or maybe it just didn't
you know, hit home to me because it wasn't something
that was in my life at the time, or whatever
it may be.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, whatever it may be, well what it is. There's
a saying in politics, never apologize, never explain. If you're explaining,
you're losing. But there's one end of this spectrum, Kelsey
I would say, is kid Rock where he was interviewed
by Tucker Carlson and haven't been canceled yet. He goes,
I'm uncancellable. You know, I'm not going to allow myself
to be canceled. I'm going to say who I am,
speak my mind. My true fans will follow, and those
(21:19):
that don't basically blank you. But on the other end
of the spectrum, here's Ben. He's just spinning rights. He's backpedaling,
he's retreating, he's apologizing, and to my point, Kelsey Niicolache
is on him about it, it's never going to end.
He's given in on this ground. He started to crumble.
He doesn't stand on principle and therefore he stands for nothing,
and people feel they can push him around totally.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
And he said, I'm embarrassed, but well, you know what, Ben,
you should be embarrassed by it. You should be ashamed
of it. He should know where your church stands, Like
these kind of basic tenants of theology should dictate where
you go to church. You should understand them first of all,
and don't apologize if you're a church, if your religion,
if what you hold deer has a certain viewpoint, and
(22:05):
I'm very we all have different spirituality and my upbringing
in the church was very, very very conservative, which is
really formed my viewpoints on it. But don't apologize for
where you stand on stuff. Now. I personally think that
I don't think it's anybody's place to judge anybody. And
(22:25):
I love the Gaves, not the I love the Gaves.
But also, as religious people, you can you can and
should say I can love this person. I can love
everybody even though they might be doing maybe they're gambling,
maybe they're cheating on their wife, maybe they're doing whatever.
You can hold those tenants deer and also still love
(22:49):
the person and not condone them because you're just as
flawed as everybody else. Like at what point you have
to cave to this woke mob whatever that we can't
even that we have to acquiesce that right is right
and wrong or right is wrong and wrong is right,
just so someone else doesn't feel bad. That's ridiculous. That's
(23:10):
absolutely ridiculous. And I think you're right. If you don't
stand for something, you're gonna stand.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
For nothing and be knocked down and repeatedly. And for Ben,
I would just end with this. If you stand on principle,
if you be yourself, if you're true to yourself, then
you're going to find the right person that fits with
that real version of yourself. And if you don't, then
you haven't met her yet. And it certainly wasn't Sarah.
And you chalk it up, and like Kelsey said, you
move on. You cut paid, there's no going back. You
(23:38):
just don't grovel. That's another bad look. No woman likes that,
No woman wants that. They're not going to love that.
So you got to stay strong. You got to be yourself,
and you've got to just hold out for that one
true love that's going to admire you and acknowledge you
and recognize you for who you are. And Kelsey, I
found that in you. So thank you so much for
joining me.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Today, OK, for heading me on.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
All right, I'll see you later tonight, Kelsey, current's my fiance.
There Love is Blind season eight. Maybe we'll get to
Zach's take on this too, because he's younger and he
watches these types of shows. I don't know, maybe knows
people that watch these shows. Five seven seven three nine
your thoughts. A lot of topics to cover today, and
we'll switch gears. Alicia Garcia is going to be having
a rally tomorrow after the Senate hearing got moved on
(24:24):
the gun grab bill. Also, Britta Horn scheduled to fear.
She's one of the candidates for the Colorado Republican Party chair.
There was a strange goings on at a Greenwood village
ihop you may have heard about on this program or
on nine News with Comrade Kyle. Darcy Shaning joined us
with her side of the story. We'll get Britta's when
we come back on Ryan Schuling Live Here is Zach
(24:50):
has joined the fray Ice stationed Zebra over there, the
z Man, as I like to refer to him. Your
text at five seven seven three nine. In mere moments,
Britta Horn will join us as a candidate for the
Colorado Republican Party chair. Reaction to the opening segment mixed.
I figured it would be, but it's pop culture relevant
and it's going to be local. It's coming to Denver
(25:11):
season nine of Love is Blind. We'll discuss this obviously
more with Christian Toto Dubb or Flora on the Right
Side of Hollywood on Friday, because there are so many
cultural implications behind the finale last night. I don't watch
these shows, but this was brought to my attention and
it was just staggering. It really was one sided. We expected,
but the result was disappointing for multiple reasons that Kelsey
(25:31):
touched down the last segment. This one says, Ryan, I
think the iHeartRadio feed is wrong. I hear your voice,
but it's TMC level. I think you mean buzz on
the feed BuzzFeed. There were some clips there that I
wish the audio was better, but it was the best
I had at the time, and so sometimes you got
to make lemonade on a lemons there. So I apologize
if it wasn't sounding good. Hopefully we're back to square
(25:52):
one in regular now. Text her if you can let
me know, that'd be great. This from Alexa. I loved
the Love Vote. My coworkers used to call me Julie
for Julie McCoy, the cruise director. I always was coordinating
get togethers for co workers. Yes, Alexa, and you are
our cruise director should you choose to be. You have
been so anointed. Appreciate that this person not Havy w
(26:14):
T who gives a crap about this BS show. I'm
aut ready to listen to Blank and Baseball new topic. Please,
I'm going to accommodate you. Just please be patient. That's
all I ask for. But again, this is coming local.
We're going to be watching this a little bit more closely.
And think of the couples that'll commiserate at Denver establishments,
(26:35):
and there are details on that online you can find
at Fox thirty one. Jim says, get a room, you guys.
Goll Kelsey and I intend to. And she's wonderful and
I'm just very proud of her. This one says that
lucky bastard dodged a huge bullet. Somebody needs to tell
Ben that Texter, because you're absolutely right, Ben has this
(26:56):
all wrong. You can't navigate this minefield. Even then, why
would you want to navigate this minefield? If you're with
the right person, you don't have to navigate a minefield.
This isn't mcgiver. Don't do that. Natalie Tennant founder of
Never Surrender National leading us into our next segment, says
Britta has my full endorsement. Well, we'll get into some
(27:18):
of those details when we come back. And the incident
at the I Hop in Greenwood Village, Darcy Shaning serving
up papers a lawsuit to Britta Horn. Britta joins us
after this on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Like many families, the Colorado Republican Party tends to have
its fights and meltdowns in public. Today, one faction of
the party served another faction of the party with a
lawsuit at an I Hoop restaurant. As diners in Greenwood
Village enjoyed the breakfast Faves Combo, the House Scramble, and
the Pancake of the Month, one candidate for the Colorado
GOP chair dropped a double stack of litigation on the
(27:57):
plate of arrival. This stems from the Republican civil war
over whether to replace current state Chairman Dave Williams, who
is accused of misusing party funds for his failed GOP
primary bid for Congress and for the hassle he created
for Colorado Republicans.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
With his call to burn all Pride flags.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
But back to the Eye Hop, home of a new
spicy shredded beef anytime Tacos where the spicy lawsuit served
this morning shreds the Republicans who tried unsuccessfully to force
out Chairman Williams. She got Darcy Channing, current party leader
who's running for chair in next month's elections, who served
papers this morning on Britta Horn, a rival candidate for
chair who's part of the uprising. They were both at
(28:37):
the I Hop for interviews with the local talk radio
show doing a live broadcast from the Pancake House. Neither
woman waffled when I reached out to him today. Channing
says Horn stole money from party donors.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Horn called it a frivolous attack. Well, it provided a
lot of fodder for the likes of Comrade Kyle in
nine News, But we needed more than that from Britta Horn,
and she joins us now on Ryan Shuling Live. Britta,
take us back to that morning at the Greenwood Village,
ihop what happened? Sure?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
And Ryan, thanks for having me. And like I said
in my press release when we first heard about this lawsuit,
this is a page from the democrats playbook. Weaponizing the
legal system, as President Trump's political opponents did to him,
and I also said Ryan, this will not deter me
from my goal of uniting Colorado Republican Party and moving
the party past the organization to attack fellow members. So
(29:27):
I want to talk about what twenty twenty six can
look like for Republicans and not argue about twenty twenty
four and what it could have looked like. My entire
campaign is focused on the issues that we will face,
ezer If, I am your next chair, and I'm happy
to join the show and discuss the bright future of
the Colorado Party. We're here with you today.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
And Britta, you have some big names lining up behind you.
Natalie Tenna just texted the show the founder of never
Star International and we know the hiding and all spoke
on your behalf to the log Cabin Republicans. I think
it's important though, that we illustrate the contrast between you
and Darcy Shaning, the two prominent candidates at this moment.
Are there others that have joined yet and if so,
(30:09):
who are they and how do you distinguish yourself from them?
Speaker 4 (30:13):
And there's many other ones, And how I distinguish myself
different from them is that I'm doing nothing of the drama.
The last few years with this party. I am bringing
forward Oaks goun on the call coming in. Sorry, I'm
bringing forward it's a busy.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Day about that's no problem.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
And I'm bringing forward the three pieces that are so
important to the party and the job of the chair
in It's first to elect more Republicans. Ryan, We've talked
about this before. I thought it was only sixteen open
seats where Democrats had no Republicans coming after them for
their seats for House and Senate and even das. But
(30:50):
it's up to eighteen. I forgot about a Board of
Education that went unopposed and an automatic Democrat went in.
And another piece is also growing the We have so
many different groups here that are all in silos, like
I like to say up here in the ranch silos,
and we're not talking to each other. And we need
to get our teams together and work together. Because we
(31:11):
were able to find up to eighty people all across
the state that was willing to make phone calls for
four candidates when we had to do the carrying the ballots,
and everybody was more than willing to help once they
learned the process. And that's what's not happening. There's no foundation.
There's no infrastructure with the party in the last few years,
and we need to change that. And finally, like that
(31:32):
call coming in, I have huge donors set on one
of fundraise that we're fundraising with and are pledging to
be a part of this team. We definitely day one,
March thirty first first and I'm hitting the send button
to an accounting firm so we can do an individual, independent,
third party audit on the books as far back as
we need to go, because we're never going to get
(31:53):
the trust and honesty and integrity back from Colorado until
we show transparency to.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Horn dot com where you can find out more the trust,
the integrity, the transparency. That's all very important, right, I agree,
But also enthusiasm. There's a gap that appears in enthusiasm,
in rallying the troops and getting people excited to vote
and having them believe we can win. Where does that
start for the Republican Party in Colorado if you're in charge, Well,
I think.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
It starts by being part of the team and being
part of a group. This isn't a single job, person job.
This is a whole crew and a whole group of people.
We've already had successes. In spite of the party, we
were able to get those four candidates across and if
you remember, it was Gave Evans and we got Gave
Trump President Trump, another congressman and it was also Dan
(32:40):
rug Ryan Gonzalez and Rebecca Kelt. We all work together
to in spite of the party and put together a
plan to make sure that all those ballots got cured
and we got them across the finish line. Everybody wants
to be a part of a winning team.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yes, And Bretta, we can tell from your attitude you
have that enthusiasm. You've done it in your life fighting fires, namely,
but also boots on the ground in other ways in
trying to generate support for I think a positive vision
for the Republican Party. What is the biggest message you
would give to an undecided or unaffiliated voter out there
that might be open to the Republican message, but maybe
(33:16):
it hasn't been delivered in a way that's convinced them.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
We have to definitely work on that and work on
our communications with everybody and having it being both to directions,
so cheer from everybody. I'm getting a lot of people
on social media and over on x that are saying, hey,
can we have coffee. We've never talked about this before
with Republicans, whether Libertarians or you know, center people or
center even left. You know, we're seeing after last Tuesday
(33:39):
when President trub gave his message to the country and
watched how the Democrats sat down with all those people
that we should be proud of and beer proud of
being Americans too, We're starting to see Democrats falling away
from the Democrat Party and they're looking for a place
to go. I'm just saying, we're rolling out the welcome matt,
opening up the tent. Come on in, and let's find
(34:00):
things that we can get in common with and win
for Colorado.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
She is a busy woman, so we'll let her go.
On that note, you can find out more about her
campaign for Colorado State Republican Party Chair Britdahorn dot com.
Britta always thankful for your time. We'll talk again soon,
Thanks Ryan, Britta Horn right there and you can text
us your thoughts at five seven, seven thirty nine, including
this one from Frandy who is KBB back and Christy
(34:24):
Burton Brown, former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. Well, Frandy,
you'll be happy to know I just reached out to
KBB because of your text. Via text to KBB, we'll
see what she replies with and whatever she's okay going
public with, I'll report back to you. Starting up our
number two. Stay tuned, big ruling. The United States Supreme
Court is taking up a case from right here in
(34:44):
