Speaker 1 (00:00):
Over the last few days con truth social from President
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Congresswoman Lauren Bobert is an America First patriot who is
doing an incredible job representing Colorado's fourth Congressional district.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
He goes on a Maga warrior who has been with
us from the very beginning. Lauren is working hard to
grow our economy, cut taxes and regulations, advance American energy dominance,
all in caps by helping to keep the price of gasoline, oil,
and all forms of energy very low parenthetical cheap exclamation point,
So cure are now very secure, record setting in parentheses,
(00:39):
southern border, support our military and veterans, and defend our
always under siege Second Amendment. Lauren Bobert has my.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Complete and total endorsement for reelection. She will never let
you down, She never lets us down, She never lets
me down. I got to say that personally too.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Congresswoman Lauren Bobert joins us from the fourth Congressional District
here in Colorado. Lauren, thanks for joining us, Brian.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I truly hope that was you doing that impersonation right there.
That was a fantastic Donald Trump just brought that endorsement
to life.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Just put a little color into it, But Lauren, the
words on the page, they had to mean a lot
to you. And I got this actually from a Facebook
post from you, And it has to feel good to
have the presidents backing in that way.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Absolutely, the President, and I'm so grateful that we have
formed a good relationship from the beginning of my campaign
time going to Congress, and he's been a friend, I've
been his ally. He has continued to fight for us.
(01:46):
Even in the four years where Joe Biden was getting
lost in closets in the White House, he still was
fighting for the American people. And I'm so glad to
have him back and of course his support.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
And you know, most people, they have to.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Wager a lot to get an endorsement like that from
the President, and this one actually came as a surprise
to me, and so it's even sweeter when you're not
asking for.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It or expecting it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
He mentioned securing the border, and no doubt you've heard
about these incendiary comments to put it kindly from Hunter
Biden about everybody in the Democratic Party, but also about
the issue of illegal immigration in the border. Going to
play for you, Lauren. First comments from Hunter heavily edited
and redacted for swearing, And then the response from Tom Holman,
our borders are who I know you and I are
(02:35):
very fond of Here's Hunter Biden.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
What about all those other people? Am I not supposed
to feel for someone? Am I going to be like
all these Democrats?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Say? Do you have to talk about and.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration?
Speaker 6 (02:48):
You?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How
do you think you have food on your table? Who
do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think
does your garden? Who do you think is here?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
By the.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Sheer kissed great in will that they figured out a
way to get here because they thought that they could
give themselves in their family a better chance. And he's
somehow convinced all of us that these people are the criminals.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Tom Holman would beg to differ.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Look the former first drug add it doesn't no Ready's
talk about first of all, but the left doesn't want
to admit the truth. The left, the left doesn't want.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
To admit the truth. They know that under President Biden,
not by.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Accident, not by mismanagement, not by inconfidence, by design, ten
point five million people came to our border and they
released invest majority of the United States sex trafficking women
and children, historic high or recorded man Americans dif from
Fatanah coming across.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
The border and historic high.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Over four hundred people on arras Wass's were rested coming
across the border and historic high.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Cartels made more money than ever made.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
And as you and me talking about many times, over
two million non got away enter this country.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
We are risk it.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Four hundred people on terris washers, how many that from
main came from the country, sponsor in terror that Joe
Biden led in this country and Representative Bobert, even Martha
raddit's no ally of the president at all on this
or any other issue.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
After a sit down interview with Karen Bass, the mayor
of Los Angeles, said she's been to the border, Martha has,
and there is a stark difference under the Trump administration
at the border compared to what was happening under the
Biden administration. Your response to all this.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, Brian, which you have to laugh when you hear
Hunter Biden trying to give policy advice after all of
these crimes have been uncovered, his time, even on an
energy board in Barisma, him suddenly becoming.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
An artist who can sell paintings for hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
This is laughable coming from the star member of the
Biden crime family, and he's trying to descend illegal crossings
into our country as non criminal And I'm so sick
of the notion that they are only here to cook
(05:21):
and clean and to pick fruit and to farm. This
is absolutely offensive. It is indentured servitude. If you are
saying you could come into our country because I need
my toilet clean, and that's what you're going to do
when you get here, that is its own form of slavery.
And how dare Americans put that on?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Folks?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
There are people who come into this country legally every day.
Our country is the most generous nation when it comes
to legal immigration. More than a million people a year
become naturalized citizens in our country. We have legal visa
programs to bring people into our country. And you know,
(06:03):
those naturalization ceremonies are some of the most moving experiences.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
That I have ever been a part of.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Where these people have counted the cost they have invested themselves,
invested their time, their resources, their minds, and said I
have what it takes to make this a more perfect union,
and they pledge allegiance to our country and to our constitution,
and they take that oath and they denounced their citizenship
(06:36):
from the country that they were born in and came from,
and they say, this is my home now. And for
people to cut in line and come into our country
illegally and then get.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
More benefits than even the men and women.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Who have served in our nation's military our receiving is
absolutely offensive. And to say this, because they're going to
clean your bed sheets and clean your toilets and pick
your fruit, they can be here and cut in the
line of those true immigrants who come here the right
way and other American citizens.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
It's absolutely offensive. Tom Hollman is.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Doing an amazing job leading this as a king. Jeffrey
calls it mass deportation machine on steroids, and that's exactly
what we need to do. We have folks who are
here illegally, who are squandering our tax dollars, who are
flooding our hospitals and our schools and our nation's resources,
(07:34):
and taking that from American citizens who are vulnerable and
need it.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Most Representative Lauren Bober joining us from the fourth Congressional
District of Colorado could not agree more. Congresswoman, I mean,
it's so condescending. And George w Bush used to call
it the soft bigotry of low expectations, and that's what
it is, because you're right, people should be able to
come here from all over the world and live the
American dream, but do it the right way. And I
(07:59):
thought it was so touching. About a couple of weeks ago,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has had his differences with President Trump,
talked about his story, his journey in becoming an American,
in coming here from Austria, in standing before George Washington's
home in Mount Vernon and welcoming in new citizens to
be sworn in, and the beauty of that moment and Lauren,
(08:20):
he said this on the View and the panelist Joy Bayhart,
they didn't know what to do with themselves because there's
this conflation between legal immigrants who you and I welcome
open arms, bring them if they can help out, contribute
to our society, become great Americans here here. But that's
a very different tale and story for most who come
here illegally, and the means by which they get here,
(08:42):
paying coyotes, being trafficked within the country, children, women, and
we don't hear Democrats talking anything about that.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That's actually one of the bigger points in this argument,
and I'm glad that you brought that up because the
human aspect of it is completely removed from the Democrats.
I mean, you hear them time and time again. Well,
they're just here to do the jobs Americans won't do
or don't want to do. But they don't talk about
the horrible journey that they take to get here, and
(09:11):
that they are often indebted to the cartel and there
is a debt that must be repaid. And so yes,
they're going to come here and try.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
To get some sort of work.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Legal or not, because they have a debt to pay
to the cartel. Many of them who were trafficked in here.
We have lost tens of thousands of children who were
brought in. Were starting to see some of those sponsors
that took in hundreds of children, one single individual sponsor,
(09:44):
and then we don't know where these children went. There
was a hotline where the phones were ignored when children
would call in and say that there was a problem
with their sponsor. And it's really unfortunate the debt told
that takes place during that migration into our country, and
(10:06):
it goes beyond that indentured servitude that we talked about,
and they truly are indebted to the cartel and most
of the wages that they are making her, much of
the wages, I should say, are actually going back to
other countries and not even remaining in our country because
they're paying off the criminals who helped get them here.
(10:29):
A gruesome as that journey may have been for them.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Representative Lauren Bolbert joining us in central to her appearance today,
her introduction of h R one thirty one, that's the
Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act. It passed through the
US House by voice vote yesterday. Now learn does that
mean they just put it on the floor, the eyes,
the nails, the eyes have it. They didn't go through
an official vote. Take us through that process.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So, in a process like that where passes by unanimous consent,
that means neither party.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Objected to the bill.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Every member of Congress has an ability to see the
bills that are coming to the floor, and if anyone
were to oppose that bill or have some sort of
harsh consternation over it, uh, they have the right to
go to the floor and demand a role call vote.
And so my finished the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act. That's
(11:27):
something that passed yesterday by unanimous consent.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
It was a.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Suspension bill and UH, and we were able to pass
that out of the House.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
And this is a really crucial piece of legislation.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
UH.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
This is to help complete construction of a critical infrastructure
project that will provide tens of thousands of Southeast Colorado
residents with access to clean water. So the Southeast Colorado
and have waited decades for the completion of the ABC.
And while we've had we've made a lot of progress
on that, there's still work that needs to be done.
(12:03):
And there was a promise that this bill would not
go to the Colorado residence that will be receiving the
benefits of this clean water, the access to this clean water,
and this will provide seven five hundred acre feet of
water per year to up to.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Fifty thousand Colorado. This is something that.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Started back in nineteen sixty two under President Kennedy and
we're still working on this, and so it takes an
Act of Congress to finish something that started in nineteen
sixty two. Our Colorado senators have a companion bill in
the Senate, and so I do expect this to be
signed into law and the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act to
(12:45):
be finished this year. And you know, the Bureau of
Reclamation has been wonderful to work.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
With on this issue.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And it's a bipartisan it's by cameral, so it was
easy to just pass that bill by.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Unanimous consent out of the House.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
It's passed in previous Congress, but this time it actually
has the momentum to be signed into law.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Representative Lauren Bober joining US fourth Congressional District of Colorado
and doing a lot behind the scenes to get legislation
presented and through. I don't know that she gets enough
credit for that. President Trump has given her credit for
that with his full endorsement that we talked about a
little bit earlier. Lauren, I want to get your take
as well. It's a controversial bill, and many of those
that are right of center are the ones that are
(13:27):
kind of calling out. Representative Gabe Evans will join us
in a little bit and Representative Maria Salazar from Florida
in this Dignity Act, and people on the writer are saying, wait, wait, wait, wait,
this is amnesty. This is more than just a path
to citizenship. What is your view of this bill? How
will you vote on it? Where do you differ from
Congressman Evans on this and where do you agree with them?
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So, first of all, Congressman Gaye Adans has done an
amazing job.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
He has taken very.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Tough to vote and he has been you know, he's
in a very vulnerable re election race right now, but
he is taking his job very seriously and we're doing
everything that we can to get him re elected. He
is on an a committee, on the Energy and Commerce Committee,
and I see him dutifully work in Washington, d C.
(14:17):
To pass legislation and then of course do the work
here at home meeting with constituents when.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
He is back.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I couldn't be more proud of him in the work
that he is doing in Congress.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
This bill.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I would love for this bill to not even come
to the floor. It might even be insulting if it
does come to the floor. I argued my predecessor, Scott
Tipton in the third District on amnesty, and this is amnesty.
You cannot come into our country or be in our
country illegally.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
And then be.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Offered a passive citizenship or a permanent residence or whatever
that may be, and not call it amnesty. This is amnesty,
and it is not something that I will support. Marie
Salazar has wanted amnesty legislation since she arrived in Congress
with me in our in our one and seventeenth Congress class, and.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
This is not something that I support.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I do understand gave Evan's position, and he can argue
that better than I ever could or would, because this
is not a bill that I support.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
But I will say that gave Evan has been.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
A fierce fighter in Congress, not even considering that he
is in a fifty to fifty districts.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's our zero, it's d zero can go either way.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And we've seen it go to the left and to
the right, and hopefully we can keep him in this
position in Colorado. He and I just met with Secretary
of Defense Headsath yesterday on some critical issues with Colorado.
Hopefully those details will will come out shortly. But this
(16:00):
is a man who truly cares about the constituents in
Colorado's eighth district and beyond. And so while I disagree
on this piece of legislation, I will stand in defense
of him and say that he has He is an
absolutely amazing congressman.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
This is why we enjoy Representative Lauren Bobert joining us,
because she calls it as she sees it. She differs
with Gabe Evans on this bill, but overall supports him
in a very tough house fight ahead in the eighth
Congressional District. You can follow her on ex at Rep. Bobert.
That's boe b e Rt. Representative Lauren Bolbert, fourth Congressional
District of Colorado. Thank you as always for your time.
(16:38):
Lauren always appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Thanks so much, Ryan, talk to you.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Soon and your reaction. At five seven seventy three nine,
Ryan Schuling live along with you and Zach Seegers. On
the other side of the glass, we'll have Representative Gabe
Evans coming up offering the counterpoint. Now, it's not very
often you find an issue where Lauren Bolbert's on one
side and Gave Evans is on the other. Gabe will
articulate the bill that he has co sponsored, and there's
(17:04):
been a lot of criticism from the right, including from
Chip Roy. This was sent to me by Lauren herself
via text and Chip Roy, of course a strong conservative,
especially a fiscal conservative representative out of Texas. I'm a
big fan of his. He's definitely, I think in my
top ten of House members and how I feel about them.
He says the following. Though Republicans seem hell bent on
(17:25):
heading into August recess, promoting and supporting Amnesty, hedging on
spending reductions appropriations, demanding we prop up Obamacare subsidies, and
refusing to ensure transparency on Epstein, we should stand for
the opposite on each and I agree with Chip Roy wholeheartedly.
There do you five seven, seven, three nine. We'll have
(17:47):
those comments in the interim, and then Representative Gabe Evans
joining us at the top of our number two. This
great one from yesterday. We got some bangers in the
text line from yesterday that I want to make sure
that we go back and cover from Gina. I know
she's listening from Missouri. That's how they say it there,
Kate Girardo, that is Rush Limbaugh's hometown and where I
believe he is buried. Sounds like Hunter lost his gardener
(18:09):
slash maid slash driver, slash nanny slash massage therapists. What
a crack infected jerk, says Gina, and while I love
the occasional expletive, seems his high powered education didn't teach
him many options.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Gina.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He is a Fredo Corleoni of the Biden family. And
I would say that Bo Biden was Michael Corleoni. And unfortunately,
tragically Bo died of cancer, you know, And the thing
is Bo might have proven to be the best Biden.
Joe is whatever, you know, a creature of the swamp.
All those years, youngest serving member of the Senate in
the early seventies, the year before I was born. Folks,
(18:47):
I'm fifty years old. That's how long that guy was
in public office, on the government, dine and all that
goes with it, all the sausage factory stuff. Get tomorrow
your text five seven, seven, three nine, please send those along.

bid to become the Colorado GOP vice chair. Richard Holdthorp

(20:58):
And my good friend Valdemar archall Leta, the former president
of the log Cabin Republicans, who posted that Richard Holtorf
had been selected as the next vice chair of the
Colorado Republican Party. And I've been in touch with Richard
going back to last week and then even before that,
his quest for this position. He has acquired it, and Richard,
congratulations on getting it.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Thank you for having me on today. Appreciate the being
having the opportunity, Richard.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Take us through the events of last night. A lot
of people kind of unfamiliar with the process, how this
all went down, why it was required, because you are
replacing someone who is very briefly in the position and
how you emerged from this as the vice chair.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
So last night we had a State Central Committee meeting.
It was the first whole virtual State Central Committee meeting
with over four hundred attendees, and that was a milestone
and of itself. We conducted business and those members of
the State Central Committee on their Republican Park Party are
(22:01):
county chairs, vice chairs and secretaries and also bonus members
for the large counties and elected officials at the state.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
Level and also at the federal level.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
So it's all the Republicans that are involved in Republican
business of the sixty four counties and then all the
elected officials that are involved in actually making policy at
the state level and at the federal level. So it
was quite a turnout and we went through a lot
of It was a long meeting five hours between the startup,
(22:33):
credentialing and then ajournment. But you know, there was a
lot of controversy. There was a lot of discussion, debate.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Dialogue, and I.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Pretty much ran on a unity platform and rebuilding the
party and building.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Bridges, not burning bridges.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
And I believe it was a very close election. I
received fifty of the delegant vote, and I was very
happy to emerge the victor by four points because it
was a close race. The Republican Party has has several factions,
and we need to bring those factions together to.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Unite our party.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
And that is my primary platform and the mission that
I'm going to take hold and try to run with
as we move forward in Colorado. To help Colorado voters,
help Colorado dists, so we can afford to live in
this state, so we can feel safe in this state,
so we can have good living for young and old,
and not have the pressure that's coming from so many things,
(23:34):
because Colorado has become California, not only in public policy,
but in the cost of living. And there's a lot
of people who have left California, and there's a lot
of people starting to leave Colorado because they just can't
afford to live in this state anymore. So we've got
to address that and those are some of the things
I'm going to be working on as a team in
the Colorado EP Executive Leadership team.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Richard cold Doorth He's a former state representative and a
former candidate from Congress in the fourth Congressional District. Who
replaced the outgoing Ken Buck who resigned the seat. Greg
Lopez ended up serving out that term, and now Representive
Lauren Bobert serves in that capacity as well. Richard, you
have declared yourself, like you said, as a unifier, trying
(24:16):
to bring factions of the party together. You won a
narrow vote fifty two to forty eight last night, and
I just want to go back to why this position
was open in the first place. And for those of
us who are Republicans, it's like bashing our heads against
a brick wall, making the same mistakes over and over again.
Circular firing squad. You know where I'm going with this.
But this from earlier, Colorado GOP vice chair resigns alleging
(24:38):
he was systematically sidelined by party chair Britta Horn. This
from Colorado Politics. That was Darryl Feelin who called it
unacceptable that chairman of Britta Horn spurned his participation in
state party matters and wanted him to be quote seen,
not heard in a statement he said, quote in the
seventy two days since the election, I've been systematically sidelined
(24:59):
and deliberately ignored by our chair. And then he declared
his immediate resignation, he said, quote, despite repeated requests to
contribute to strategy and policy discussions, my only input has
been to facilitate the dismissal of her lawsuit and to
endorse the hiring of her affiliates. According to her, I
am to be seen, not heard, and that is unacceptable. Richard,
what do you make of Feelin's comments, the fact that
(25:20):
he resigned the post, and what it will take to
get things going in the right direction heading from here? Well,
first of all, you.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Got to read the bylaws and the rules, and the
role of the vice chair is to serve in the
absence of the chair when she, in this case, is
not available to chair any meetings. Also to do all
the tasks and the assignments that the chair delegates to
the vice chair, and serve on the appropriate committees and
(25:49):
do the other business of the state party. But you
can't try to be the de facto chair when you're
the worst chair. And I think there was quite a
bit of friction between those two people, and cruely I
talked to Darryl. I said, Darryl, you can't be your
own agent. You can't be a lone wolf factor. You
(26:10):
can't chart your own path and try to have your
own platform. As a vice chair, you have to nest
and sit under the chair. You have to work with
the chair. That's your role in your job when you
took the vice chair position, and then you try to
help the chair and help the party. And Ryan, there's
a thing called the party line. Whatever that definition of
(26:31):
the party line is, you got to help carry that.
It's the vice chair underneath the chairman and that leadership.
So you've got to understand roles and responsibilities. Daryl had
a real hard time with that, and I told him,
I said, look, if you can't handle it, you.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Need to step down.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
If you can't do it the way the rules and
the bylaws are written, you need to step down.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
And so he did, and that's.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
What started the process of selecting another vice chair.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
Is you have to be a team player in the.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
Military a long time. You can't run your own operations
and your own missions and not have those missions under
your higher headquarters, approved by your higher headquarters. You can't
go out there on battlefield and start going in onie
direction moving to contact when the rest of the units
are going in the other direction. You might have this
thing called percercide where people are killing each other from
(27:22):
your own organizations because you don't know who's who and
what on the battlefield, so you can't do that. We've
been to work as an organization with synchronized operations, working together,
and that requires teamworking and operation and also understanding roles
and responsibilities. So that what's got us to this point.
I don't want to talk about the path.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
You know, God blessed Daryl.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Keep working in Las Anonamous County, keep doing good things
for the Republican Party. But you really got to understand
the roles and responsibilities clearly and not try to circumvent
them or be your own platform or have your own
website or have your own Facebook posts under your own title.
And it's not coordinated and synchronized with the state Party,
not when you're the vice chair of the state Party.
(28:06):
And that's the bottom line, sir. And that's where it was,
and now it's going to change. Effective last night at
whatever time it was, got a new vice chair, and
I understand roles and responsibilities, and I will be a
team member and a team player and we'll work together
so we can do what Bryan elect Republicans to Colorado
state offices. That's the primary mention of the state party.
(28:28):
And also help our federal Republicans to serve in Wilston, DC,
to support our Republican principles.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And our feels.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Richard Holdtorf the newly elected vice chair of the Colorado
Republican Party. Britta Horn is the chair. Those two now
the leadership tandem a top the Colorado GOP. You mentioned
winning statewide races, Richard, and we know that's a numbers
game and it is not favored Republicans in the last
several cycles. Last night was the State of the City
(28:58):
addressed by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. I'm asking for grades
from our listeners. He's not faring too well in that capacity.
There seems to be an opening, perhaps for Republicans to
make their case, maybe not to win in the Denver
Boulder corridor or even in Fort Collins, another college town,
but to turn other counties either more red or more purple,
like a Rapahole County where I live that is now
(29:18):
deeply blew. At one point it was red and definitely
was purple up until just a few years ago. What
is your mindset, Richard, your strategy to win this numbers game,
maybe starting small, but win the messaging battle as well.
When again, like I said, there seems to be an
opportunity with the way Democrats have been running things. Well,
(29:39):
I don't want to.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Tip my hand too much, because I'm sure there's a
few Democrats that are listening out there on KOA. It
would love to know the state party's strategy moving forward
to flip seats and turn Colorado purple again so we
can make Colorado Colorado again and not California California. You know,
people don't want the California cation Colorado we've been living in.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
For those of us that have lived in Colorado.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
For as many years as I have, since nineteen sixty nine,
the journey isn't a fun journey because it's not the
state I grew up in, the Rocky Mountain State, the
West State, the state you know it's free.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Home of the free, at home of the braves, and you.
Speaker 8 (30:21):
Can live that western, independent, rugged lifestyle. You can go
on the mountains, you can go out in the prairies,
you can hunt, you can fish, you can do all
the things you want to do and live your life
not worrying about.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
So much government overreach. You can't stand it. So but
I will tell you we're going to work a.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Plan and a strategy. There's already things in the works
that are going to move that forward. But here's what
we're really going to do as Republicans, and I'm going
to help promote this using my leadership and influence. We're
going to reach out to what Coloradoans want.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
What do you want Colorado electric? What kind of state
do you want? And where are we going to go
with that?
Speaker 8 (30:59):
So we can take that desire of the voters and
put that with our Colorado republic and conservative principles and
values and figure out how we can make Colorado more
affordable again, how we can make Colorado more free again,
How we can make Colorado a state that isn't at
the bottom of the room for business and small business.
(31:23):
We're back at the top again, or small business is
welcomed and not overregulated.
Speaker 9 (31:27):
And over controlled and actually put out of business.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
So there's a lot of things that we want to
do strategically to help Colorado and Colorado citizens can live,
so young people can afford a home, or young people
can afford their first apartment or condominium that they can
buy and own and hold real property, because that's where
it starts in our lives. You don't want to rent forever, folks,
(31:54):
I'm telling you, you build equity in your home. It's
the most important investment.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Leave that.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
I believe that, And that's where it starts from thirty
forty fifty years later, when you have that first home
or you have your second home, and you've built up
all that equity, you look.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Out and go, Wow, I've got something.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
It's worth hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars. And
I did this in my life, and I raised my
family and his home, and you know, now I have
something that I can share with my family, I can
pass off to my kids that has value.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
And meaning and a lot of memories.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
So I can't gain the details.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
I appreciate you asking.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
But I think you're going to watch it unfold in
the next fifteen months and it's going to lead to
change for Colorado and a change for the better, sir,
for all your listeners, it's going to be a change
for the better.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Well, he's in that co pilot share right now. Richard Holdtorf,
newly elected just last night as the vice chair of
the Colorado Republican Party reporting directly to the chair of
the party, Britta Horn Richard Holdworth always thought it. Thankful
for your time, congratulations on the win, and we'll follow
where it goes from here.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
And thank you for your friendship, and thank you for
always reaching out and allowing me to have him o
pre to speak on behalf of.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Colorado and the Colorado Republican Polity.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
And my apologies for the technology shortfalls there. He sounded
like Max's Headroom from the nineteen eighties. If you remember
those commercials, Zach doesn't. That's way before his time, but
many of you may remember. We'll take this time out
when we come back. A tribute to the Blizzard of

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Rather, he contributed to the world of rock and roll.
These texts coming in. He's going home to Mama now
and you can count on that song being played during
the Dan Kaplis show coming up. Rip Ozzy Osbourne, the
Prince of Darkness nineteen forty eight to twenty twenty five.
Let's all bite the head off of bat in honor

thought it was a plastic bat thrown on the stage

and he bit the head off of it. Anyway, it
was a real no he did not get rabies, and
he lived to the age of seventy six, a timeout
much more straight ahead representative Gabe Evans right here on
Ryan Schuling Live
Over the last few days con truth social from President
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Congresswoman Lauren Bobert is an America First patriot who is
doing an incredible job representing Colorado's fourth Congressional district.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
He goes on a Maga warrior who has been with
us from the very beginning. Lauren is working hard to
grow our economy, cut taxes and regulations, advance American energy dominance,
all in caps by helping to keep the price of gasoline, oil,
and all forms of energy very low parenthetical cheap exclamation point,
So cure are now very secure, record setting in parentheses,
(00:39):
southern border, support our military and veterans, and defend our
always under siege Second Amendment. Lauren Bobert has my.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Complete and total endorsement for reelection. She will never let
you down, She never lets us down, She never lets
me down. I got to say that personally too.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Congresswoman Lauren Bobert joins us from the fourth Congressional District
here in Colorado. Lauren, thanks for joining us, Brian.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I truly hope that was you doing that impersonation right there.
That was a fantastic Donald Trump just brought that endorsement
to life.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Just put a little color into it, But Lauren, the
words on the page, they had to mean a lot
to you. And I got this actually from a Facebook
post from you, And it has to feel good to
have the presidents backing in that way.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Absolutely, the President, and I'm so grateful that we have
formed a good relationship from the beginning of my campaign
time going to Congress, and he's been a friend, I've
been his ally. He has continued to fight for us.
(01:46):
Even in the four years where Joe Biden was getting
lost in closets in the White House, he still was
fighting for the American people. And I'm so glad to
have him back and of course his support.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
And you know, most people, they have to.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Wager a lot to get an endorsement like that from
the President, and this one actually came as a surprise
to me, and so it's even sweeter when you're not
asking for.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It or expecting it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
He mentioned securing the border, and no doubt you've heard
about these incendiary comments to put it kindly from Hunter
Biden about everybody in the Democratic Party, but also about
the issue of illegal immigration in the border. Going to
play for you, Lauren. First comments from Hunter heavily edited
and redacted for swearing, And then the response from Tom Holman,
our borders are who I know you and I are
(02:35):
very fond of Here's Hunter Biden.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
What about all those other people? Am I not supposed
to feel for someone? Am I going to be like
all these Democrats?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Say? Do you have to talk about and.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration?
Speaker 6 (02:48):
You?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How
do you think you have food on your table? Who
do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think
does your garden? Who do you think is here?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
By the.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Sheer kissed great in will that they figured out a
way to get here because they thought that they could
give themselves in their family a better chance. And he's
somehow convinced all of us that these people are the criminals.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Tom Holman would beg to differ.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Look the former first drug add it doesn't no Ready's
talk about first of all, but the left doesn't want
to admit the truth. The left, the left doesn't want.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
To admit the truth. They know that under President Biden,
not by.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Accident, not by mismanagement, not by inconfidence, by design, ten
point five million people came to our border and they
released invest majority of the United States sex trafficking women
and children, historic high or recorded man Americans dif from
Fatanah coming across.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
The border and historic high.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Over four hundred people on arras Wass's were rested coming
across the border and historic high.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Cartels made more money than ever made.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
And as you and me talking about many times, over
two million non got away enter this country.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
We are risk it.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Four hundred people on terris washers, how many that from
main came from the country, sponsor in terror that Joe
Biden led in this country and Representative Bobert, even Martha
raddit's no ally of the president at all on this
or any other issue.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
After a sit down interview with Karen Bass, the mayor
of Los Angeles, said she's been to the border, Martha has,
and there is a stark difference under the Trump administration
at the border compared to what was happening under the
Biden administration. Your response to all this.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, Brian, which you have to laugh when you hear
Hunter Biden trying to give policy advice after all of
these crimes have been uncovered, his time, even on an
energy board in Barisma, him suddenly becoming.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
An artist who can sell paintings for hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
This is laughable coming from the star member of the
Biden crime family, and he's trying to descend illegal crossings
into our country as non criminal And I'm so sick
of the notion that they are only here to cook
(05:21):
and clean and to pick fruit and to farm. This
is absolutely offensive. It is indentured servitude. If you are
saying you could come into our country because I need
my toilet clean, and that's what you're going to do
when you get here, that is its own form of slavery.
And how dare Americans put that on?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Folks?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
There are people who come into this country legally every day.
Our country is the most generous nation when it comes
to legal immigration. More than a million people a year
become naturalized citizens in our country. We have legal visa
programs to bring people into our country. And you know,
(06:03):
those naturalization ceremonies are some of the most moving experiences.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
That I have ever been a part of.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Where these people have counted the cost they have invested themselves,
invested their time, their resources, their minds, and said I
have what it takes to make this a more perfect union,
and they pledge allegiance to our country and to our constitution,
and they take that oath and they denounced their citizenship
(06:36):
from the country that they were born in and came from,
and they say, this is my home now. And for
people to cut in line and come into our country
illegally and then get.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
More benefits than even the men and women.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Who have served in our nation's military our receiving is
absolutely offensive. And to say this, because they're going to
clean your bed sheets and clean your toilets and pick
your fruit, they can be here and cut in the
line of those true immigrants who come here the right
way and other American citizens.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
It's absolutely offensive. Tom Hollman is.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Doing an amazing job leading this as a king. Jeffrey
calls it mass deportation machine on steroids, and that's exactly
what we need to do. We have folks who are
here illegally, who are squandering our tax dollars, who are
flooding our hospitals and our schools and our nation's resources,
(07:34):
and taking that from American citizens who are vulnerable and
need it.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Most Representative Lauren Bober joining us from the fourth Congressional
District of Colorado could not agree more. Congresswoman, I mean,
it's so condescending. And George w Bush used to call
it the soft bigotry of low expectations, and that's what
it is, because you're right, people should be able to
come here from all over the world and live the
American dream, but do it the right way. And I
(07:59):
thought it was so touching. About a couple of weeks ago,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has had his differences with President Trump,
talked about his story, his journey in becoming an American,
in coming here from Austria, in standing before George Washington's
home in Mount Vernon and welcoming in new citizens to
be sworn in, and the beauty of that moment and Lauren,
(08:20):
he said this on the View and the panelist Joy Bayhart,
they didn't know what to do with themselves because there's
this conflation between legal immigrants who you and I welcome
open arms, bring them if they can help out, contribute
to our society, become great Americans here here. But that's
a very different tale and story for most who come
here illegally, and the means by which they get here,
(08:42):
paying coyotes, being trafficked within the country, children, women, and
we don't hear Democrats talking anything about that.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That's actually one of the bigger points in this argument,
and I'm glad that you brought that up because the
human aspect of it is completely removed from the Democrats.
I mean, you hear them time and time again. Well,
they're just here to do the jobs Americans won't do
or don't want to do. But they don't talk about
the horrible journey that they take to get here, and
(09:11):
that they are often indebted to the cartel and there
is a debt that must be repaid. And so yes,
they're going to come here and try.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
To get some sort of work.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Legal or not, because they have a debt to pay
to the cartel. Many of them who were trafficked in here.
We have lost tens of thousands of children who were
brought in. Were starting to see some of those sponsors
that took in hundreds of children, one single individual sponsor,
(09:44):
and then we don't know where these children went. There
was a hotline where the phones were ignored when children
would call in and say that there was a problem
with their sponsor. And it's really unfortunate the debt told
that takes place during that migration into our country, and
(10:06):
it goes beyond that indentured servitude that we talked about,
and they truly are indebted to the cartel and most
of the wages that they are making her, much of
the wages, I should say, are actually going back to
other countries and not even remaining in our country because
they're paying off the criminals who helped get them here.
(10:29):
A gruesome as that journey may have been for them.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Representative Lauren Bolbert joining us in central to her appearance today,
her introduction of h R one thirty one, that's the
Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act. It passed through the
US House by voice vote yesterday. Now learn does that
mean they just put it on the floor, the eyes,
the nails, the eyes have it. They didn't go through
an official vote. Take us through that process.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So, in a process like that where passes by unanimous consent,
that means neither party.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Objected to the bill.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Every member of Congress has an ability to see the
bills that are coming to the floor, and if anyone
were to oppose that bill or have some sort of
harsh consternation over it, uh, they have the right to
go to the floor and demand a role call vote.
And so my finished the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act. That's
(11:27):
something that passed yesterday by unanimous consent.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
It was a.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Suspension bill and UH, and we were able to pass
that out of the House.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
And this is a really crucial piece of legislation.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
UH.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
This is to help complete construction of a critical infrastructure
project that will provide tens of thousands of Southeast Colorado
residents with access to clean water. So the Southeast Colorado
and have waited decades for the completion of the ABC.
And while we've had we've made a lot of progress
on that, there's still work that needs to be done.
(12:03):
And there was a promise that this bill would not
go to the Colorado residence that will be receiving the
benefits of this clean water, the access to this clean water,
and this will provide seven five hundred acre feet of
water per year to up to.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Fifty thousand Colorado. This is something that.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Started back in nineteen sixty two under President Kennedy and
we're still working on this, and so it takes an
Act of Congress to finish something that started in nineteen
sixty two. Our Colorado senators have a companion bill in
the Senate, and so I do expect this to be
signed into law and the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act to
(12:45):
be finished this year. And you know, the Bureau of
Reclamation has been wonderful to work.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
With on this issue.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And it's a bipartisan it's by cameral, so it was
easy to just pass that bill by.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Unanimous consent out of the House.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
It's passed in previous Congress, but this time it actually
has the momentum to be signed into law.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Representative Lauren Bober joining US fourth Congressional District of Colorado
and doing a lot behind the scenes to get legislation
presented and through. I don't know that she gets enough
credit for that. President Trump has given her credit for
that with his full endorsement that we talked about a
little bit earlier. Lauren, I want to get your take
as well. It's a controversial bill, and many of those
that are right of center are the ones that are
(13:27):
kind of calling out. Representative Gabe Evans will join us
in a little bit and Representative Maria Salazar from Florida
in this Dignity Act, and people on the writer are saying, wait, wait, wait, wait,
this is amnesty. This is more than just a path
to citizenship. What is your view of this bill? How
will you vote on it? Where do you differ from
Congressman Evans on this and where do you agree with them?
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So, first of all, Congressman Gaye Adans has done an
amazing job.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
He has taken very.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Tough to vote and he has been you know, he's
in a very vulnerable re election race right now, but
he is taking his job very seriously and we're doing
everything that we can to get him re elected. He
is on an a committee, on the Energy and Commerce Committee,
and I see him dutifully work in Washington, d C.
(14:17):
To pass legislation and then of course do the work
here at home meeting with constituents when.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
He is back.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I couldn't be more proud of him in the work
that he is doing in Congress.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
This bill.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I would love for this bill to not even come
to the floor. It might even be insulting if it
does come to the floor. I argued my predecessor, Scott
Tipton in the third District on amnesty, and this is amnesty.
You cannot come into our country or be in our
country illegally.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
And then be.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Offered a passive citizenship or a permanent residence or whatever
that may be, and not call it amnesty. This is amnesty,
and it is not something that I will support. Marie
Salazar has wanted amnesty legislation since she arrived in Congress
with me in our in our one and seventeenth Congress class, and.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
This is not something that I support.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I do understand gave Evan's position, and he can argue
that better than I ever could or would, because this
is not a bill that I support.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
But I will say that gave Evan has been.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
A fierce fighter in Congress, not even considering that he
is in a fifty to fifty districts.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's our zero, it's d zero can go either way.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And we've seen it go to the left and to
the right, and hopefully we can keep him in this
position in Colorado. He and I just met with Secretary
of Defense Headsath yesterday on some critical issues with Colorado.
Hopefully those details will will come out shortly. But this
(16:00):
is a man who truly cares about the constituents in
Colorado's eighth district and beyond. And so while I disagree
on this piece of legislation, I will stand in defense
of him and say that he has He is an
absolutely amazing congressman.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
This is why we enjoy Representative Lauren Bobert joining us,
because she calls it as she sees it. She differs
with Gabe Evans on this bill, but overall supports him
in a very tough house fight ahead in the eighth
Congressional District. You can follow her on ex at Rep. Bobert.
That's boe b e Rt. Representative Lauren Bolbert, fourth Congressional
District of Colorado. Thank you as always for your time.
(16:38):
Lauren always appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Thanks so much, Ryan, talk to you.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Soon and your reaction. At five seven seventy three nine,
Ryan Schuling live along with you and Zach Seegers. On
the other side of the glass, we'll have Representative Gabe
Evans coming up offering the counterpoint. Now, it's not very
often you find an issue where Lauren Bolbert's on one
side and Gave Evans is on the other. Gabe will
articulate the bill that he has co sponsored, and there's
(17:04):
been a lot of criticism from the right, including from
Chip Roy. This was sent to me by Lauren herself
via text and Chip Roy, of course a strong conservative,
especially a fiscal conservative representative out of Texas. I'm a
big fan of his. He's definitely, I think in my
top ten of House members and how I feel about them.
He says the following. Though Republicans seem hell bent on
(17:25):
heading into August recess, promoting and supporting Amnesty, hedging on
spending reductions appropriations, demanding we prop up Obamacare subsidies, and
refusing to ensure transparency on Epstein, we should stand for
the opposite on each and I agree with Chip Roy wholeheartedly.
There do you five seven, seven, three nine. We'll have
(17:47):
those comments in the interim, and then Representative Gabe Evans
joining us at the top of our number two. This
great one from yesterday. We got some bangers in the
text line from yesterday that I want to make sure
that we go back and cover from Gina. I know
she's listening from Missouri. That's how they say it there,
Kate Girardo, that is Rush Limbaugh's hometown and where I
believe he is buried. Sounds like Hunter lost his gardener
(18:09):
slash maid slash driver, slash nanny slash massage therapists. What
a crack infected jerk, says Gina, and while I love
the occasional expletive, seems his high powered education didn't teach
him many options.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Gina.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He is a Fredo Corleoni of the Biden family. And
I would say that Bo Biden was Michael Corleoni. And unfortunately,
tragically Bo died of cancer, you know, And the thing
is Bo might have proven to be the best Biden.
Joe is whatever, you know, a creature of the swamp.
All those years, youngest serving member of the Senate in
the early seventies, the year before I was born. Folks,
(18:47):
I'm fifty years old. That's how long that guy was
in public office, on the government, dine and all that
goes with it, all the sausage factory stuff. Get tomorrow
your text five seven, seven, three nine, please send those along.

(20:58):
And my good friend Valdemar archall Leta, the former president
of the log Cabin Republicans, who posted that Richard Holtorf
had been selected as the next vice chair of the
Colorado Republican Party. And I've been in touch with Richard
going back to last week and then even before that,
his quest for this position. He has acquired it, and Richard,
congratulations on getting it.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Thank you for having me on today. Appreciate the being
having the opportunity, Richard.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Take us through the events of last night. A lot
of people kind of unfamiliar with the process, how this
all went down, why it was required, because you are
replacing someone who is very briefly in the position and
how you emerged from this as the vice chair.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
So last night we had a State Central Committee meeting.
It was the first whole virtual State Central Committee meeting
with over four hundred attendees, and that was a milestone
and of itself. We conducted business and those members of
the State Central Committee on their Republican Park Party are
(22:01):
county chairs, vice chairs and secretaries and also bonus members
for the large counties and elected officials at the state.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
Level and also at the federal level.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
So it's all the Republicans that are involved in Republican
business of the sixty four counties and then all the
elected officials that are involved in actually making policy at
the state level and at the federal level. So it
was quite a turnout and we went through a lot
of It was a long meeting five hours between the startup,
(22:33):
credentialing and then ajournment. But you know, there was a
lot of controversy. There was a lot of discussion, debate.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Dialogue, and I.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Pretty much ran on a unity platform and rebuilding the
party and building.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Bridges, not burning bridges.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
And I believe it was a very close election. I
received fifty of the delegant vote, and I was very
happy to emerge the victor by four points because it
was a close race. The Republican Party has has several factions,
and we need to bring those factions together to.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Unite our party.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
And that is my primary platform and the mission that
I'm going to take hold and try to run with
as we move forward in Colorado. To help Colorado voters,
help Colorado dists, so we can afford to live in
this state, so we can feel safe in this state,
so we can have good living for young and old,
and not have the pressure that's coming from so many things,
(23:34):
because Colorado has become California, not only in public policy,
but in the cost of living. And there's a lot
of people who have left California, and there's a lot
of people starting to leave Colorado because they just can't
afford to live in this state anymore. So we've got
to address that and those are some of the things
I'm going to be working on as a team in
the Colorado EP Executive Leadership team.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Richard cold Doorth He's a former state representative and a
former candidate from Congress in the fourth Congressional District. Who
replaced the outgoing Ken Buck who resigned the seat. Greg
Lopez ended up serving out that term, and now Representive
Lauren Bobert serves in that capacity as well. Richard, you
have declared yourself, like you said, as a unifier, trying
(24:16):
to bring factions of the party together. You won a
narrow vote fifty two to forty eight last night, and
I just want to go back to why this position
was open in the first place. And for those of
us who are Republicans, it's like bashing our heads against
a brick wall, making the same mistakes over and over again.
Circular firing squad. You know where I'm going with this.
But this from earlier, Colorado GOP vice chair resigns alleging
(24:38):
he was systematically sidelined by party chair Britta Horn. This
from Colorado Politics. That was Darryl Feelin who called it
unacceptable that chairman of Britta Horn spurned his participation in
state party matters and wanted him to be quote seen,
not heard in a statement he said, quote in the
seventy two days since the election, I've been systematically sidelined
(24:59):
and deliberately ignored by our chair. And then he declared
his immediate resignation, he said, quote, despite repeated requests to
contribute to strategy and policy discussions, my only input has
been to facilitate the dismissal of her lawsuit and to
endorse the hiring of her affiliates. According to her, I
am to be seen, not heard, and that is unacceptable. Richard,
what do you make of Feelin's comments, the fact that
(25:20):
he resigned the post, and what it will take to
get things going in the right direction heading from here? Well,
first of all, you.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Got to read the bylaws and the rules, and the
role of the vice chair is to serve in the
absence of the chair when she, in this case, is
not available to chair any meetings. Also to do all
the tasks and the assignments that the chair delegates to
the vice chair, and serve on the appropriate committees and
(25:49):
do the other business of the state party. But you
can't try to be the de facto chair when you're
the worst chair. And I think there was quite a
bit of friction between those two people, and cruely I
talked to Darryl. I said, Darryl, you can't be your
own agent. You can't be a lone wolf factor. You
(26:10):
can't chart your own path and try to have your
own platform. As a vice chair, you have to nest
and sit under the chair. You have to work with
the chair. That's your role in your job when you
took the vice chair position, and then you try to
help the chair and help the party. And Ryan, there's
a thing called the party line. Whatever that definition of
(26:31):
the party line is, you got to help carry that.
It's the vice chair underneath the chairman and that leadership.
So you've got to understand roles and responsibilities. Daryl had
a real hard time with that, and I told him,
I said, look, if you can't handle it, you.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Need to step down.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
If you can't do it the way the rules and
the bylaws are written, you need to step down.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
And so he did, and that's.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
What started the process of selecting another vice chair.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
Is you have to be a team player in the.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
Military a long time. You can't run your own operations
and your own missions and not have those missions under
your higher headquarters, approved by your higher headquarters. You can't
go out there on battlefield and start going in onie
direction moving to contact when the rest of the units
are going in the other direction. You might have this
thing called percercide where people are killing each other from
(27:22):
your own organizations because you don't know who's who and
what on the battlefield, so you can't do that. We've
been to work as an organization with synchronized operations, working together,
and that requires teamworking and operation and also understanding roles
and responsibilities. So that what's got us to this point.
I don't want to talk about the path.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
You know, God blessed Daryl.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Keep working in Las Anonamous County, keep doing good things
for the Republican Party. But you really got to understand
the roles and responsibilities clearly and not try to circumvent
them or be your own platform or have your own
website or have your own Facebook posts under your own title.
And it's not coordinated and synchronized with the state Party,
not when you're the vice chair of the state Party.
(28:06):
And that's the bottom line, sir. And that's where it was,
and now it's going to change. Effective last night at
whatever time it was, got a new vice chair, and
I understand roles and responsibilities, and I will be a
team member and a team player and we'll work together
so we can do what Bryan elect Republicans to Colorado
state offices. That's the primary mention of the state party.
(28:28):
And also help our federal Republicans to serve in Wilston, DC,
to support our Republican principles.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And our feels.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Richard Holdtorf the newly elected vice chair of the Colorado
Republican Party. Britta Horn is the chair. Those two now
the leadership tandem a top the Colorado GOP. You mentioned
winning statewide races, Richard, and we know that's a numbers
game and it is not favored Republicans in the last
several cycles. Last night was the State of the City
(28:58):
addressed by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. I'm asking for grades
from our listeners. He's not faring too well in that capacity.
There seems to be an opening, perhaps for Republicans to
make their case, maybe not to win in the Denver
Boulder corridor or even in Fort Collins, another college town,
but to turn other counties either more red or more purple,
like a Rapahole County where I live that is now
(29:18):
deeply blew. At one point it was red and definitely
was purple up until just a few years ago. What
is your mindset, Richard, your strategy to win this numbers game,
maybe starting small, but win the messaging battle as well.
When again, like I said, there seems to be an
opportunity with the way Democrats have been running things. Well,
(29:39):
I don't want to.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Tip my hand too much, because I'm sure there's a
few Democrats that are listening out there on KOA. It
would love to know the state party's strategy moving forward
to flip seats and turn Colorado purple again so we
can make Colorado Colorado again and not California California. You know,
people don't want the California cation Colorado we've been living in.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
For those of us that have lived in Colorado.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
For as many years as I have, since nineteen sixty nine,
the journey isn't a fun journey because it's not the
state I grew up in, the Rocky Mountain State, the
West State, the state you know it's free.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Home of the free, at home of the braves, and you.
Speaker 8 (30:21):
Can live that western, independent, rugged lifestyle. You can go
on the mountains, you can go out in the prairies,
you can hunt, you can fish, you can do all
the things you want to do and live your life
not worrying about.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
So much government overreach. You can't stand it. So but
I will tell you we're going to work a.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Plan and a strategy. There's already things in the works
that are going to move that forward. But here's what
we're really going to do as Republicans, and I'm going
to help promote this using my leadership and influence. We're
going to reach out to what Coloradoans want.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
What do you want Colorado electric? What kind of state
do you want? And where are we going to go
with that?
Speaker 8 (30:59):
So we can take that desire of the voters and
put that with our Colorado republic and conservative principles and
values and figure out how we can make Colorado more
affordable again, how we can make Colorado more free again,
How we can make Colorado a state that isn't at
the bottom of the room for business and small business.
(31:23):
We're back at the top again, or small business is
welcomed and not overregulated.
Speaker 9 (31:27):
And over controlled and actually put out of business.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
So there's a lot of things that we want to
do strategically to help Colorado and Colorado citizens can live,
so young people can afford a home, or young people
can afford their first apartment or condominium that they can
buy and own and hold real property, because that's where
it starts in our lives. You don't want to rent forever, folks,
(31:54):
I'm telling you, you build equity in your home. It's
the most important investment.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Leave that.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
I believe that, And that's where it starts from thirty
forty fifty years later, when you have that first home
or you have your second home, and you've built up
all that equity, you look.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Out and go, Wow, I've got something.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
It's worth hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars. And
I did this in my life, and I raised my
family and his home, and you know, now I have
something that I can share with my family, I can
pass off to my kids that has value.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
And meaning and a lot of memories.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
So I can't gain the details.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
I appreciate you asking.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
But I think you're going to watch it unfold in
the next fifteen months and it's going to lead to
change for Colorado and a change for the better, sir,
for all your listeners, it's going to be a change
for the better.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Well, he's in that co pilot share right now. Richard Holdtorf,
newly elected just last night as the vice chair of
the Colorado Republican Party reporting directly to the chair of
the party, Britta Horn Richard Holdworth always thought it. Thankful
for your time, congratulations on the win, and we'll follow
where it goes from here.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
And thank you for your friendship, and thank you for
always reaching out and allowing me to have him o
pre to speak on behalf of.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Colorado and the Colorado Republican Polity.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
And my apologies for the technology shortfalls there. He sounded

many of you may remember. We'll take this time out
