Speaker 1 (00:00):
Neighbors. Glad to have you here on the radio show.
Jimmy is my name? Talking is my game? I just
made that up right there. It sounded kind of cool
when I at least in my head, it sounded like
it'd be cool, but maybe it didn't come across that way.
Like many of the things I do on this show good.
It was a good idea until I say, and then
I go, crap, Hey, everybody, nice to have you here.
(00:21):
Final hour of the radio show Monday. If at least
for me, he's almost done, hallelujah for that. And how's
your Monday going. If it's If it's going poorly, don't worry.
I'll be done in an hour to get better. But
just stay right here and then you'll just it'll make
you appreciate me being gone if you stay with me.
Never mind, all right, ladies and gentlemen. I want to
bring into the topic of conversation, mister Steve Reims or AKAA,
(00:46):
Sheriff Steve Raams. He's the sheriff of Weld County and
he's on the hotline right now for some conversation. Sheriff Reames,
welcome back, sir.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I'm good Jemmy, how about yourself.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I am doing very very well.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
My understanding, sir, is that you have been down to
the border, and I'm not talking south of Pueblo, New Mexicano. No,
I'm talking even further south of that. You've been on
the southern board of the United States.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah. I got a chance to go down to McCallin
Texas with an organization that does basically a border school
for law enforcement and for legislators across the country and
had the opportunity to speak to some of those folks
about not just what's happening on the border, but how
bad border policy is effecting us here in Colorado, and
(01:31):
obviously with some of the recent news of things that
have happened in Aurora and other places. A lot of
questions are asked and it was very educational for the
people who attended and for myself to see the border
yet again and see just how bad our current border
policies are when you see it in real life, it's
pretty tragic.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I've got friends that are in law enforcement in Texas
and they have told myself and a friend of mine
that was down there with them doing some work that
just across some of those borders. Literally there are isis
and terrorist training camps just hundreds of yards across there.
Do you hear that as well, that there is it's
not just you know, portal migrs walking across. There's organizations
(02:15):
training bad people just just across our southern border.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Have you heard that?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, I've heard that. I haven't seen that, And the
experts that were at the Border school didn't necessarily back
up those claims that you know that we're hearing in
different circles. But what is very obvious is that there
are people coming across our border that have been intercepted,
that are on terrorist watch lists, that are from unfriendly countries.
And the sad fact is those people aren't being sent
(02:43):
back to where they came from. They're being they're they're
given a court date and they're told okay, here's when
we expect you to appear, and they're shipped into the
interior United States more often than not. So those fears
are they're real.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, the ways of share Steve Reimshriff of Weld County,
and we have him on the program here for talking
a couple of topics, including our southern border. You alluded
to the topic of Aurora where we had these Venezuelan gangs,
and the whole story got sidetracked. Are these gang members?
Are they not gang members? The fact is they were
people walking around with guns and terrorizing people in an
(03:20):
apartment complex. And you know, the governor of Colorado tried
to say, these it's all part of your imagination. Let
me get your take on this from what you know
about Aurora. Was that part of the imagination? What have
you heard in the law enforcement world was really happening there?
And are all the Venezuelan gang members? Are these Venezuelan
(03:40):
that have committed crimes? Are they just hanging out down
in Aurora? They are they crossing the state? What are
we facing here?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I think what what you're seeing on TV? You know,
it's not a sigment of your imagination. Now, the narrative
around it is obviously by some of the mainstream media.
They're trying to make it seem as if it's, you know,
very limited in scope. And it may be, you know,
these ten people that were arrested or the people you
see in some of that video footage that have you know,
(04:10):
ar fifteens hanging off their shoulders, that may be very
limited to one particular apartment complex. But if you're in
that apartment complex, it's your whole life. And I think
that's the part that we're failing, that the media is
failing to recognize, is that there are people that are
living in abject fear with folks standing outside their door,
you know, armed to the teeth, that are not there
(04:32):
for good intention. You know, it's just logical. You don't
want someone coming to your door and intimidating you in
your in your place of residence. And the law enforcement
circles that I am familiar with, I think we all
understand that we have we have problems coming across that
southern border, and these Venezuelan gangs are no different. They're
(04:56):
here and they are definitely making a presence for themselves.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Let's talk about the presence they are making for themselves
in Weld County. As the Sheriff of Weld County, have
you we hear the phrase migrant crime. It's a phrase
of the people that want to tighter borders and border security.
You use oftentimes. Are you seeing migrant crime happen in
Weld County and is on the uptick? Or is it
(05:21):
about average?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You know, we're not saying I say this while I
knock on wood. We're not seeing an increase in crimes
committed by migrants, so to speak. I think the fear, though,
is when you start to see the kind of footage
like what we're still on TV, is oftentimes those people
are the least likely to report what they're you know,
what's happening to them. So you get migrants who oftentimes
(05:45):
will perpetrate crimes on other migrants, and there's this fear
of not report or not reporting it because well, you know,
they may face deportation. They fear that they may face
deportation if they contact law enforcement. It's not usually a
founded sere, but it exists nonetheless. So you know, they're
(06:07):
escaping a violent country, they're escaping a violent scenario. They
come to the United States and they're put right back
into that same scenario when you get these hostile folks
that they're migrating with them. Essentially, we hear you.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Know, Aurora's that's much more of an urban area. You've
got Denver, You've got these big cities. What about in
Weld County? What about more rural places like Weld County
less populated. We have some population centers, but nothing like Aurora.
What are you seeing with migrant crime in Aurora? Who's
anybody hanging out of your jail?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Well, we definitely are well represented from around the world
with folks that end up in the Weld County Jail.
I recently just pulled a report from the start of
the year until now of folks from other countries that
are inside of the facility. And we've had people from
all over the world inside the Weld County Jail. And
(07:00):
it's not normal when you compare it to say, ten
years ago or fifteen years ago. I mean, we've always
had a migrant population that came through the Weld County Jail,
but it's significantly changed to represent places other than just Mexico.
And you know, it's a sign of what's coming across
(07:21):
our border. You know, we have people from Venezuela in
the Weld County Jail, just like you probably have in
many other places around Colorado right now.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, what kind of the crimes these people that you
see that you're a world kind of the United Nations
and criminals coming through the Weld County jail. What type
of crimes are they violent?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Crimes? Are they petty? Fats. What have we got going on?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
It runs a gamut, Jimmy, pretty much from the from
the top, you know, the worst crimes out there to yeah,
the you know, the DUI, the you know, minor assault,
family assaults. It kind of runs a gamut. But you know,
we're again, we're well represented. You know. That's what we're
in the business to do, is deal with criminal activity.
(08:07):
And where they come from really is irrelevant to us,
but it is a factor where we're dealing with people
from places outside of the United States committing crime here
in Wild County.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Now, I think it's always important to make it clear
what you're allowed to do. Now in Colorado, thanks to
the Governor Polus's signature on some bills that if you
have a known I illegal that ICE is wanting or
has a marker on, you're not allowed to call ICE
at all. So when someone has served their time or
gets out on bail or parole or whatever they get
(08:39):
out on, you just have to release them back to
the streets, even though they should be deported. That they
just walk out the door and that's it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You're one hundred percent correct, you know, We've made some
changes in the state of Colorado Our legislature has made
some changes, but the most impactful one for not allowing
local law enforcement to work with ICE was House Still
nineteen twenty four. That one's burned into my brain because
it made a significant change for how jail facilities around
(09:07):
the state of Colorado. Can you know, help facilitate the
deportation process just by letting ikes know, Hey, we've got
a person who's committed some bad conduct and they're not
here in the country legally, so we have a vested
interest together in saying, you know, this person should probably
go back to where they came from. But that process
doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So it does make this clear.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So let's say you have a hypothetical here, a Venezuelan
gang member a picture, put anybody in there you want,
and they are let out, you know, pending a trial
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
They bond out, bailout.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Or you know, just say you're out, and the judge
lets them out on until their trial comes about. You're
not allowed to do anything. You just you just literally
unlocked the door, give them their possessions back, and out
they go.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
They're treated just as if they were an American citizen.
There's there's nothing that there's nothing meaningful that I can
do within the law. You know, ICE is on their
own to figure out how to deal with that individual
and make their own case.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The voice of Sheriff Steve Dreams, Sheriff of Weld County, Colorado,
This has been going on for a couple of years.
Your like inability to work with ICE and to cooperate
with ICE has you sometimes think they pass a law.
Jared Poulos will sign a law, it becomes the law
of the land, and then they go, oh, crap, maybe
that went a little bit too far. Has there been
(10:32):
any kind of remorse or any type of thought of
dialing it back that legislation that Jared Polar signed. Is
any sign that they realized they might have screwed the pooch.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
On that one?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Not to my knowledge. I mean, I've brought it up
with legislators that all listen with me on the on
the topic, but there's no there's no desire to see
this go back to where it should be. In fact,
you see kind of a doubling down effect amongst what
I would call the liberal cause us down at the
state House is this is good. We want more of this,
and you know, obviously they haven't been impacted by by
(11:07):
their own changes in the law. They haven't been you know,
they haven't been the victim of some kind of criminal
act committed by a person who shouldnt even be in
the country. But you hope that that's not what it
takes for someone to make a better decision. But unfortunately,
I think that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
The voice of Sheriff Steve Rting, sheriffol Weald County. All right,
sare before we run short on time, I got to
ask you. I saw this television commercial supporting Yadar Caravello
in the eighth Congressional district. I happened to live in
the eighth congressional district, and I was surprised at this
commercial talking about how great she was on the border
and she really wanted a tight border. Matter of fact,
(11:43):
she was. She voted for eleven twenty four because she
was in the state legislature at that time, and she
she helped put that one into the law where you
can't cooperate with ice. So that's something to point out.
But now she's running these ads saying, reelect me, I'm
so great on the border I'm a wonderful person, and
she has this sheriff out there. I think he's the
sheriff of Adams County saying yeah, she's great on the border,
(12:06):
she makes America safe again.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
First of all, who the hell is sheriff?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well, I think the sheriff and that that particular commercial
is gene clapped. He's the sheriff of Adams County, newly
elected sheriff of Adams County, and you know he's entitled
to his own opinion. I wholeheartedly disagree with him. I
don't think Yadera Caravello or the team that she represents.
Let's just be honest. She's a Democrat. You know what's
happening at the border right now should be laid at
(12:34):
the feet of the Democrats. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and
Jadera Caraveo is just as responsible for what she did,
as you pointed out in our state legislature. I don't
know how anybody could say, you know, this person's great
on border security, and you know, I've been down there,
I've watched how this works and it doesn't, and I
(12:55):
definitely don't want more of that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I guess you might get that sheriff on. I'm not sure,
come on the program. I would try to get mom,
because again, if you're going to say she's great on
the border, and she's first of all, what has she done?
And she's accountable for what she did in the legislature.
And the very reason that you can't or he can't
cook you communicate with eyes if you have a dangerous
criminal there is because of your derat Caraveo's votes. So
I think that kind of erases a lot of whatever
(13:18):
he's claiming about Eadra Caraveo. Let there be no mistake
of deer A Caraveo. Her entire legislative career has not
been She's not been a border hawk to say the least. No, No,
now you you have, I think you've endorsed Gabe Evans publicly,
will be clear about that. And Gabe Evans is who
I will be voting for in the eighth Congressional district.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Am I am? I correct that that is your guy?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, you're correct, And you know to gave Evans, I
guess accolades the guy. He worked in law enforcement. He
understand what it understands what it looks like to deal
with folks who are committing crime, but even even more
so folks that are committing crime who are here in
our country illegally. That's like doubling down, if you will.
So Gabe understands the need for a type border and
(14:06):
for us to know who's coming into our country. He's
not gonna have to break with his party because I
think his party agrees that we should have a strong
border presence, and I just think he's a better choice
for the eighth Congressional District.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Steve Reims, we've often last couple of moments together, but
we've obviously obviously your team and my team, the Red Team,
have not fared well outside of the well across the
state state wide. I mean, we do good in places
like Weld County, but the Denver Boulder Mafia, the population
centers there kind of overrule the rest of the state
of Colorado. Do you see any lessening on the horizon?
(14:43):
Are you sensing anything changing in the world of politics
in the state of Colorado that we would once again
have some kind of representation.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You know, I think it's a slow process. We didn't
get here overnight. We're not going to turn it around overnight.
But when liberal policies start effect people in a very
personal ways, like what you're seeing in Aurora. I don't
think any of those folks down there are going to
be real supportive of the idea of hey, let's let's
keep our border wide open. When they're having to huddle
in fear in their own apartment, you know, that probably
(15:14):
changes a person's political view. And I'm not saying that
that's the way it should be. We should have never
gotten here. But elections have consequences, and I think a
large part of Colorado is starting to see those consequences
and going, man, maybe we ought to go a different direction.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Sheriff Steve Riam's always a pleasure, my friend. Thanks for
hopping on the program and giving us your insight from
being at the border the last last week down there,
and appreciate you hopping on the program this morning. Sheriff
Steve Ridams, Sheriff of Weld County. You know, now it's
the perfect time of year to think about your fireplace.
I you said, Jimmy, it's turned the fireplace on for
another month or so. Well, listen, that's the point. Now's
(15:50):
the time to think about it. Maybe you want a
new something simple, like you want a better flame that
just looks prettier. Maybe one something that's going to distribute
heat better. Maybe been looking at a remodel. Maybe eve
been wanting a woodburning stove in your living group. Listen,
there's so many options that you can think of that
even you haven't thought of. You you've got to go
to Western Fireplace Supply. Now, it's a perfect time. The
(16:10):
reason I say it's a perfect time, you're going to
go there and get what you want. You're going to
talk to them, They're going to buy installation. They've an
in house, a group of certified installers that will come
and install, and by the time they get it all set,
then it's going to be time to turn the fireplace on.
A lot of folks say, wow, let's go to Western Fireplace.
But the snow's already blowing, the col's already there. If
you go now, get scheduled, you can enjoy that new fireplace,
(16:31):
that new woodburning stove. You can enjoy it before the
cold when the cold weather comes, you can enjoy it
on day one. It's Western Fireplace Supply fourteen of Waight
Riverside Avenue in Fort Collins. They also go see either
outdoor fire garden. You can really have some big dreams
about an outdoor living space. And you know, whether it's
an outdoor fireplace or a fire pit. They can help
(16:52):
you high BTU products they have there to really effectively
heat up the space you want to heat up. It's
Western Fireplace Supply in Fort Collins, Western Fireplace dot com.

have a known I illegal that ICE is wanting or
has a marker on, you're not allowed to call ICE
at all. So when someone has served their time or
gets out on bail or parole or whatever they get
(08:39):
out on, you just have to release them back to
the streets, even though they should be deported. That they
just walk out the door and that's it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You're one hundred percent correct, you know, We've made some
changes in the state of Colorado Our legislature has made
some changes, but the most impactful one for not allowing
local law enforcement to work with ICE was House Still
nineteen twenty four. That one's burned into my brain because
it made a significant change for how jail facilities around
(09:07):
the state of Colorado. Can you know, help facilitate the
deportation process just by letting ikes know, Hey, we've got
a person who's committed some bad conduct and they're not
here in the country legally, so we have a vested
interest together in saying, you know, this person should probably
go back to where they came from. But that process
doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So it does make this clear.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So let's say you have a hypothetical here, a Venezuelan
gang member a picture, put anybody in there you want,
and they are let out, you know, pending a trial
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
They bond out, bailout.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Or you know, just say you're out, and the judge
lets them out on until their trial comes about. You're
not allowed to do anything. You just you just literally
unlocked the door, give them their possessions back, and out
they go.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
They're treated just as if they were an American citizen.
There's there's nothing that there's nothing meaningful that I can
do within the law. You know, ICE is on their
own to figure out how to deal with that individual
and make their own case.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The voice of Sheriff Steve Dreams, Sheriff of Weld County, Colorado,
This has been going on for a couple of years.
Your like inability to work with ICE and to cooperate
with ICE has you sometimes think they pass a law.
Jared Poulos will sign a law, it becomes the law
of the land, and then they go, oh, crap, maybe
that went a little bit too far. Has there been
(10:32):
any kind of remorse or any type of thought of
dialing it back that legislation that Jared Polar signed. Is
any sign that they realized they might have screwed the pooch.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
On that one?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Not to my knowledge. I mean, I've brought it up
with legislators that all listen with me on the on
the topic, but there's no there's no desire to see
this go back to where it should be. In fact,
you see kind of a doubling down effect amongst what
I would call the liberal cause us down at the
state House is this is good. We want more of this,
and you know, obviously they haven't been impacted by by
(11:07):
their own changes in the law. They haven't been you know,
they haven't been the victim of some kind of criminal
act committed by a person who shouldnt even be in
the country. But you hope that that's not what it
takes for someone to make a better decision. But unfortunately,
I think that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
The voice of Sheriff Steve Rting, sheriffol Weald County. All right,
sare before we run short on time, I got to
ask you. I saw this television commercial supporting Yadar Caravello
in the eighth Congressional district. I happened to live in
the eighth congressional district, and I was surprised at this
commercial talking about how great she was on the border
and she really wanted a tight border. Matter of fact,
(11:43):
she was. She voted for eleven twenty four because she
was in the state legislature at that time, and she
she helped put that one into the law where you
can't cooperate with ice. So that's something to point out.
But now she's running these ads saying, reelect me, I'm
so great on the border I'm a wonderful person, and
she has this sheriff out there. I think he's the
sheriff of Adams County saying yeah, she's great on the border,
(12:06):
she makes America safe again.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
First of all, who the hell is sheriff?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well, I think the sheriff and that that particular commercial
is gene clapped. He's the sheriff of Adams County, newly
elected sheriff of Adams County, and you know he's entitled
to his own opinion. I wholeheartedly disagree with him. I
don't think Yadera Caravello or the team that she represents.
Let's just be honest. She's a Democrat. You know what's
happening at the border right now should be laid at
(12:34):
the feet of the Democrats. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and
Jadera Caraveo is just as responsible for what she did,
as you pointed out in our state legislature. I don't
know how anybody could say, you know, this person's great
on border security, and you know, I've been down there,
I've watched how this works and it doesn't, and I
(12:55):
definitely don't want more of that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I guess you might get that sheriff on. I'm not sure,
come on the program. I would try to get mom,
because again, if you're going to say she's great on
the border, and she's first of all, what has she done?
And she's accountable for what she did in the legislature.
And the very reason that you can't or he can't
cook you communicate with eyes if you have a dangerous
criminal there is because of your derat Caraveo's votes. So
I think that kind of erases a lot of whatever
(13:18):
he's claiming about Eadra Caraveo. Let there be no mistake
of deer A Caraveo. Her entire legislative career has not
been She's not been a border hawk to say the least. No, No,
now you you have, I think you've endorsed Gabe Evans publicly,
will be clear about that. And Gabe Evans is who
I will be voting for in the eighth Congressional district.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Am I am? I correct that that is your guy?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, you're correct, And you know to gave Evans, I
guess accolades the guy. He worked in law enforcement. He
understand what it understands what it looks like to deal
with folks who are committing crime, but even even more
so folks that are committing crime who are here in
our country illegally. That's like doubling down, if you will.
So Gabe understands the need for a type border and
(14:06):
for us to know who's coming into our country. He's
not gonna have to break with his party because I
think his party agrees that we should have a strong
border presence, and I just think he's a better choice
for the eighth Congressional District.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Steve Reims, we've often last couple of moments together, but
we've obviously obviously your team and my team, the Red Team,
have not fared well outside of the well across the
state state wide. I mean, we do good in places
like Weld County, but the Denver Boulder Mafia, the population
centers there kind of overrule the rest of the state
of Colorado. Do you see any lessening on the horizon?
(14:43):
Are you sensing anything changing in the world of politics
in the state of Colorado that we would once again
have some kind of representation.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You know, I think it's a slow process. We didn't
get here overnight. We're not going to turn it around overnight.
But when liberal policies start effect people in a very
personal ways, like what you're seeing in Aurora. I don't
think any of those folks down there are going to
be real supportive of the idea of hey, let's let's
keep our border wide open. When they're having to huddle
in fear in their own apartment, you know, that probably
(15:14):
changes a person's political view. And I'm not saying that
that's the way it should be. We should have never
gotten here. But elections have consequences, and I think a
large part of Colorado is starting to see those consequences
and going, man, maybe we ought to go a different direction.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Sheriff Steve Riam's always a pleasure, my friend. Thanks for
hopping on the program and giving us your insight from
being at the border the last last week down there,
