Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome back to the Dankpla Show.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Here with Da George Brock there and well kindy Sheriff
Steve Reims. We're trying to see if we can burn
this show down, not just kidding, We're trying to make
it somewhat entertaining. While Dan's out doing trial preper turing
the Caribbean or whatever he is, whatever he does, he's
doing Dan things.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
He's doing Dan things, and they pay a hell of
a lot better than the public safety stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Boy, there's a lot of things that pay a hell
of a lot better than the public safety stuff.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
That's a really strong point to be made. I should
have asked you this before. Sure, this is not the
topic we were going to do. What are you experiencing in
terms of recruiting and retention?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
That's a great question. So we went through a really
tough time in twenty twenty four. You know, I announced
earlier that I was running for WELDC Commissioner, and this
is one of the reasons. In twenty twenty four, we
were in a tough spot for hiring and retention. Our
salaries weren't competitive, and I basically went to the Border
(01:11):
County Commissioners and I said, look, I know you're looking
at doing a salary survey and trying to bump those
numbers up, but until then, I'm down on people. I
was down I think forty two staff members at that
time across the agency. Yeah, it's almost ten. Yeah, and
it was getting worse. And I said, you know, we
can wait or we can do something now. And actually
Commissioner Scott James said, let's fix this. What does it
(01:33):
take to fix this? And so I made a proposal.
We came back and threw a lot of gnashing of
teeth and me having to relocate some patrol deputies into
the jail just to cover stuff. We finally got to
the point where the board says, yeah, we're going to
fix your salary issues, and they adopted those things towards
the end of twenty twenty four. So now in twenty
(01:54):
twenty five, we're I can't say we're at full staff
because you never know exactly what your turn is. But
we're as close to it as I've ever been, and
not just with my is my time as sheriff, but
in my affiliation with the agency.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So we're in a good spot.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I think a lot of the people that come to
work in Well County do it because they know, well,
one they're going to get a competitive salary, they're going
to get a pretty decent benefits package. But two, they're
gonna have the support of the community. And if you're
out there arresting people, that kind of matters.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yeah, that's a big thing. That's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
We in the DA world, and I think this is
Metro area wide have experienced a change in recruiting two
and I kind of trace it back to one COVID
but that post George Floyd thing. And by the way,
law schools and I teach for DU, and I've been
teaching for DU for twenty three years and that's my
mom's alma mater. It's the second best law school in
the state. I'm a see you, gret as you know, Cooba.
(02:48):
But great kids that are out there. But these law
schools have become more and more woke in anti law
enforcement every year they praise the public defender, and in
some cases they deserve praise, but they really malign prosecution.
So we have seen a precipitous drop off in applications.
When I got into this game thirty years ago, when
(03:09):
I was four, you know, you could have a job opening,
there'll be forty applications.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Sure, same thing in law enforcement.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Now we're looking at in terms of qualified applications, a handful.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, Like it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So again back to what I was saying before, this
is the first time and I don't know forever, we
actually have a waiting list of folks nice wanting to
come work in the Well County jail because you know,
that's that's kind of your entry into law enforcement. Oftentimes
you don't have to be post certified, and they're like, hey,
this is my opportunity. It's a heck of a well
paying job for you know, a guy coming out with
(03:41):
maybe maybe just a high school diploma. You pass our
physical exam, you you pass the written test and everything,
and man, you got you got an opening here, right,
And man, it's a it's a unique environment.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I know, Darren's you know, really focusing on his stuff
in Douglas County. I can't say that Well County is
the model that every one should follow, but we're pretty
darn close to it.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Well, I can tell you Douglas County tried to go
down the Well County road by doing.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
That home rule thing.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, that didn't go so well. It.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, that's probably its own its own show. But that
thing hit a brick wall pretty hard head on.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You know, I don't understand the narrative that was out
there with the voters, and it may have just been
a messaging issue. But the Home World Charter for Weld
County has been a godsend. Like I said, it gives
us a lot of control over how we kind of
control our destiny on the things that are of issue
in Weld County. We can we can do things just
a little different, I guess, to make things simple for
(04:35):
the listeners.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I was trying to have a good buddy on a
guy named Dave Flaherty who's the head of Magellan Strategies,
because he has this point. You may have heard about it,
maybe you haven't, but it sort of talks about public
sentiment about Democrats Republicans and then it specifically names some people.
But here's the takeaway this name Michael Bennett. It's in there.
(04:58):
Michael Bennett's in there. But this is important one because
as you know, we had Darren Weekly on sheriff of
Douglas County. He's run for reelection. We know that a
guy named Steve Rams.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I think that's how he pronounce it, Yeah, something like
this is ms. Is that the French? No, we don't
ever say it that way, reams.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Riems is running for county commissioner up there and welled,
and who knows, maybe we have another surprise announcement here
during this particular segment.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I think that's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
But he did this poll and it gives Republicans, in
my opinion, some sense of optimism.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Here.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
This is what it says. Here's the question. This is
question twenty seven. Do you approve or disapprove of the
job the following Colorado individuals and organizations are doing your
local county or town government. I'm going to chalk that
up to or city or town government forty six percent,
your county government total approval forty four percent. Okay, all right,
(05:52):
disapprovals forty So you're still in the plus.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You're still in the plus.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Governor Jared Polis disapprove fifty two percent. Wow, fifty two
percent man, forty one percent approval.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That is that's kind of hurting.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
That's got to hurt. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
The legislature thirty nine percent approval, forty five percent disapproval.
And then we get into Senator Michael Bennet. They actually
spelled his name wrong. It's just got the one t
A total approval of thirty eight percent disapproved, forty four
hiccken Looper approve.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Does that mean that Bennett has low ti? Okay, gotcha?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Senator Hicky Looper thirty seven percent approval, forty nine percent disapprove.
Those are awful, Yeah, they're terrible. Those are awful numbers.
I mean, that should give Republicans some hope there. But
it's not like the Republicans are coming out a lot
better in this poll either. But man, in your opinion,
what does it take in Well County? Of course, if
(06:52):
you're the Republican, do you have you guys ever elected
a Democrat?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Uh, we don't have any elected Democrats in our legislature,
any county seat. We have had some, but we we
evicted all those folks the last election cycles so HD fifty,
which was right around the University of Northern Colorado that
was maintained by a Democrat for quite some time. But
Ryan Gonzalez turned that one around nice. You know, Kevin
(07:17):
Priola threw a shift. Yeah, Kevin Priola. Yeah, he ended
up representing Weld County. He never represented Weld County, but
Scott Bright knocked him off. This went politically trans what happened,
That's exactly what he did. But long story short, Weld Counties,
it's it's it's it's safe, it's a it's a good
place for Republicans. You know, how do you turn this around?
(07:37):
I guess in my opinion, and I hate to say this,
but this story that we're talking about with the inmate
I had to release the Solomon Gallaghan case. You know,
the fact that the Governor Polis is jumping in on
this Twitter battle with Elon Musk and trying to say, no, no, no,
it's it's not the state of Colorado that's screwed up.
It's not our criminal justice system, it's your DA and
your county attorney. Give me a break. But the fact
(07:59):
that Polus like he's got to jump in on I
shouldn't say Twitter, and this ex battle and try to
defend his honor tells you what that polling data tells you. Also,
the Democrats are losing ground, and again I can't help
but think it's people in normal society are looking out
and going, huh, this thing's kind of on fire, not
(08:19):
like this show is, but you know, in a bad.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Way, right right? What is that smell?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
The other part of this, though, that concerns me is
despite all those things you said, which are one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
True, and people in the know say.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
This to each other all the time, I can't believe
anyone in Denver's like I'm super excited about the way public.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Safety is going, or anywhere else. And that's not a
knock on DPD. I just I think DPD gets.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Their hands tied by the city that manages them. When
you're an elected sheriff, you call the shots man. No
one tells you what.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Nobody's telling me how to run my agency other than
the citizens, right, Like, I'm answering to the citizens each
and every day, but yeah, no one's telling me, hey,
go out and force this over that. You know, we're
doing what we think is in the best interest of
the citizens. Unless the legislature inserts itself, you know, and
puts handcuffs on us. But regardless, you know, I think
there comes a point where, you know, you quit listening
(09:12):
to the criminals and you start listening to the average
citizen who just wants to be able to sit on
their front porch. And I get shot at. I have
to believe that there's plenty of people in Denver that
are sick and tired of what they're seeing.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It is.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
It turns out we're not the only people drinking during
the radio show. Here's a couple of texts George and Steve.
You guys are hilarious. Let's hope they'll be another episode
before the sheriff gets to be a commissioner. Here's another
Georgia sheriff. I like the sheriffs. Oh no, we talked
about that when that one's a slam on me. And also,
this show is great. Hope you all do it again
(09:46):
this one. I gotta believe we're gonna have to find
another station because we're shutting down six thirty at the
end of this. I'm so sorry for all the employees. Listen,
we have a couple of callers on the line, and
in fact, Apparently Kevin called back because he had more
to say.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We'll get to him.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
We will get to Kep, but we got to cut
away for a break because Ryan says so inside the headphone,
So stick around. By the way, text us five seven
seven three nine is the text thing.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's got to start.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Off with Dan followed by George like you.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Better than Steve, and then put the rest of the
message in there, or you can give us a call.
Three oh three seven one three eighty two fifty five
seven one three eight uh eight two yeah, eight two
five five good.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
We've been been doing this. Now let's just go to break.
Let's just be done, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Take you were listening to Dan Capless show here on
six thirty k how with George and.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Steve, and now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
George Brockler and Sheriff Steve Reams.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Also, by the way, Commissioner Canada back filling in for
Dan kaplis Uh, Steve, you're running for county commissioner, which
I think is reckless and a sign of potentially some
other mental illness that you want to take on a
non public safety elected office. But if people wanted to
support you, how would they do this.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Well, first they could, you know, pat me on the
back and say thanks for staying involved in the ja
county because you know, we know you'll take care of
the Sheriff's office too. That's right, But reems for commissioner,
and I encourage everybody go out there make a donation.
It'll make you feel better, and you know it's just
a good.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Thing to do.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
It'll it'll make you happy, It'll make it'll make them
happy too. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Listen, you have a constituent online right now, Jordan from Greeley.
Jordan's been very patient. She had a question for Sheriff Rheims. Jordan,
what do you got?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Hi, good afternoon. First, I just want to say thank
you so much for that statement you made earlier about
doing what it takes to protect the citizens of Wall County.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I appreciated that.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Yeah, and I don't want to debate red flag or
criminals getting guns, right, we all know all the crowd
that surrounds that. But Larimer County did issue a red
flag order on that efforting kid, and so I'm curious, like,
if you knew he had a gun, would the shariff's
(12:05):
office in four stats.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Well, I guess that's a hypothetical, but quite frankly, I
think yothetical.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Because of his refugee status, there may be a question
about whether or not he can even and that that
take a deeper dive.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
If we find out that he's he's obtained a gun
in in violation of a court order, Yeah, we're probably
going to figure out how to deal with this guy.
And I'm not a supporter of the red flag law,
and you've probably understand a million reasons why, But in
this particular incident, I think there's a whole lot of
compounding factors that we would say, hey, for public safety concerns,
(12:43):
you know, we're probably going to try to figure out
how to how to take this guy off the street
because I think he's probably got some gun violations that
go beyond red flag.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Jordan's here's a corollary to that, because this this could
come up as well. I'm no fan of the magazine limits.
I don't think it serves a legitimate purpose. It's never
going to stop a single crime. But if somebody walked
into a bank or some other place and committed a
crime with one, the question is would I add that
(13:15):
as a charge on top of the billions of other charges.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I probably would.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I don't know how the case turns out, but I
probably would throw every single thing I could at.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Then it's one more thing to negotiate. So when you're
trying to figure out, all right, this guy, if he's
going to cut a plea, can I take this charge off.
I'm not saying that that's necessarily what goes into all
your mindset when you're charging a guy.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
But some people you just need to hammer with the laws.
That's right.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
This dude that got released from my jail. The problem
is no matter how many times we hammer him with
the law, so to this color. Yeah, So even if
we are rested him for violating his red flag order,
what's it going to do. He's going to turn around
and walk right back down with the jail.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What would you want to see happening?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Well, I just want to know that in extreme cases
where we do feel like society and Sheriff Breams has
to make a post like this, that we know that
in an extreme case, if they did find out that
somebody very dangerous was out there going to and could
possibly harm the community, that he was going to step
in and take care of it, and I appreciate we're
(14:13):
going to figure.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Out a way to do whatever we can. And to
be honest with you, this isn't the first incident where
that the red flag law, HERPO law has come up,
and you know, we've had a reason to go investigate
this person for a potential violation. But quite frankly, there's
there's usually something that's far worse that's underlying that that
that's the thing we attack, and I think that's probably
(14:34):
the same thing with this individual. But again, the criminal
justice system has this giant crack in it in my
opinion right now that even if we are resting, we
take him off the street, we need a place that
he stays. We need a place that this guy goes
away for a very long time. But hey, I appreciate
you calling in, and I really appreciate the compliment. With
that compliment, you should get on my website and they
(14:55):
con donate rooms for commissioner.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Thank you, Jordan.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Hey, along those lines, there's another weak link to this
system you and I can't control, and I don't think
voters have good visibility on it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And that's the bench.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And I'm not maligning any individual judge or anything like that.
But it is a weakness in the system because whatever
good work you do on the street, you march that
guy into court, the judge could just cut him.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Loose well and tell me. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
I can't imagine that there's a judge in this state
anymore that's been appointed by a Republican governor.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
No.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I think that the entire Supreme Court has been appointed
by Democrat governor.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, and so go.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Down the line, how many you know, how many? How
many judges are still on the bench? That Owens member,
that's our last Republican governor. Is there a judge still
on the bench anywhere in the state?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Would you? I can't imagine that there is one.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
No, because we also have a weird rule for judges
where we say, at age seventy two, you are dead
to us, like you can't serve you got anymore. I
don't know any of their positions that are age limited
like that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
But that's one.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
But the judges thing is real because you're going to
see them on the ballot along with all these.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Races we're going to talk about over.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
The next you know, fifteen months, or so, and you
will know nothing about the judges you cast to vote
for yours, however, are in love with you?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, well, I want you to read this latest text
that just came in.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
This The latest text says, it's better if you read it. Sheriff,
your very existence makes us all.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Happy, isn't That isn't that's just so warm?
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I feel pretty sure that came from your under Sheriff.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Is that well? I can also text the end.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
You are so very good looking. That beard is wonderful.
That's great, it's exactly. Your head's so shiny. So you
did something, by the way, we talked about off air
that I thought was worth commenting on about the judges
because it's important.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh yeah, so yeah, I don't know. Maybe a year
or two ago, you know, we started having all this
bond reform, and there was a question about why are
you letting all these people out? You know, and it's
no knock on the constituents. Why does this person keep
getting out of jail? Why does this person keep getting
released with our bond? So my fix to that we
have an arrest report where when someone gets arrested, it
(17:05):
shows what their charge is. You know who arrested them,
and you know basically what time they came to jail.
So I said, well, let's do a released report and
it'll show which inmate got out, which judge set his bond,
and what that bond was set at. And I got
to tell you, I wasn't exactly very popular amongst the
bench in Weld County, but in my mind, that gave
(17:29):
them the perfect, perfect opportunity to say, hey, we have
constraints on the way we issue issue bonds on these
particular cases. They could have educated the public and said, hey,
you know, these are the laws that were passed. We're
handcuffed on some of these things too. Instead, they got
pissed off at me, or a few of them did,
because hey, we're putting public information out there.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Sorry, that's what we do.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I listen, we have maybe the best chief judge in
the state of Colorado, and he has created the bond guidelines,
but with the understanding that you have to get them
from the judge, which means lotty Doddy, everybody that gets
hooked is going to spend at least a night in
jail before they go see the judge to get the bond.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I love that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Hey, listen, it's Steve and George filling in for Dan Caplis.
Five seven seven three nine is the text three h
three seven three eighty two fifty five.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Cigaree will be right back. You're listening to the Dan
Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
I'm Bart Kirkmeyer. I'm a mom, a grandmother, and a
lifeline Colorado and today I'm announcing my campaign for governor
of Colorado. It's time. It's time for a governor who
knows how to govern and who believes Colorado's best days
are still ahead.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I believe in a.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Colorado where families can afford to live, work and thrive.
A Colorado where we lower the cost of health care
and insurance, make housing attainable, protect our kids, strengthen our schools,
and build safer communities. Colorado where businesses can grow, innovate,
and create good paying jobs without the government standing in
(19:05):
the way. This is the Colorado I know we can have.
I know what it's like to work hard for every dollar.
I grew up poor on a dairy farm in northern
Jeffson County. At a young age, I was My job
was to feed the calves before and after school. My
allowance was about two dollars a month. By the time
(19:26):
I was nine, I had saved enough money to buy
my own half for calf and join four AH. That's
how I learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and
saving for the future. I worked my way through college
and went on to build two small businesses, from owning
a dairy farm and to running a floral shop. In
the nineteen nineties, I got involved in politics when I
(19:48):
led the fight to stop new landfills in Weld County.
Everyone told me it wasn't possible, but I won that fight. Later,
as a Weld County Commissioner, I guided Welled to one
of the only debt three counties in the entire state.
And as a state Senator, I've stood up for taxpayers,
fought to lower costs, and invested historic amounts of funding
(20:09):
into education. Now some say you have to be a
Democrat to win statewide in Colorado.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I just don't think so.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
I say Colorado is ready for a new direction, ready
for a common sense conservative leader who will roll up
for sleeves, work with people, and deliver real results, not
political games. As you're a governor, I won't raise your
taxes I'll fight for affordability, make our communities safe, fix
our roads, and partner with local governments to actually solve problems.
(20:42):
I'll make sure our kids grow up in a Colorado
full of opportunity, with a future that is brighter and
stronger than ever before. Together, we can build a Colorado
that works for everyone. Join me at kirkmeyerfcolorado dot com
because it's time. It's time for a governor who will
(21:02):
get to work for you, for your family, and for
Colorado's future.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
How about that? Who was it? I think that was
Barbara Kirkmeyer.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Oh, that's what it said that that was the Beach
Boys song.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
We almost sounded like, well it was a barber shop.
I guess it wouldn't be a quote.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Something like that.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Now you know Barb pretty well because you guys were
in government up there in the world at the same time.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
So Barb is a five term county commissioner in World County.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
So she ran for two.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Terms, walked away for a little while, and got reactivated,
came back and did three more terms. Wow, Barb's not
joking though, And she said she was part of the
county that has no long term debt, no short term
debt and a very low tax rate, and she took
that same ax with her as a senator on the
Joint Budget Committee down to the State House. So I
(22:00):
talked to Barb earlier on the phone. I said, we'd
love to have you on the show. Unfortunately, she's doing
her announcement as we speak. She had an event now
in Fort Luton. At five point thirty. She said, I'll
do you one better. I'll pre record something. You guys
can play it at the same time that I'm making
my announcement. Should be a pretty similar speech. Otherwise we
were going to make you drive up to Fort Lupton,
(22:20):
Georgia and do something.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
I thought she were just going to give me the
speech and make me read it as if I was Barb.
You know, I don't know what could have been worse.
I'm pretty sure that would have ended the show. I look,
I'm a big Barb fan too. I like what she's
done on the JBC. I would have much rather had
her live. But I'm thrilled that we're the first to
get to expose this great news that was first put
in print that she had filed yesterday.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But nonetheless, I have good news. What's the good news?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Barb Kirkmeyer, the Senator, will be joining me on Ryan
Schuling three o'clock hour.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Tomorrow, in which hour just likes to be better.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's the three o'clock hour. In the three o'clock hour,
hour two the podcast. Well, it's true, you Ryan, I
don't know. I mean, I feel like we got cheated
mic Off. I know, frankly, they have all the buttons?
Do I have the buttons?
Speaker 10 (23:07):
That's we have any idea how many times I have
told him that today?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Which screw for the buttons?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I mean, yeah, I don't know what goes on back
behind the glass.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
There's Blaire. I don't know if you guys, Ryan knows this.
There's Glaire.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
You guys could be clothing optional back there, and I
never know. Again, Party, we do have some buttons here.
They're attached to some phone. Mindes, we're gonna do that.
Hang on a couple texts five seven seven three nine, Sheriff.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I'm gonna make it radio safe.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Darn love my neighbors, but they came over, so I've
not been listening to this fantastic show. I really love
both of you guys, Darn, I have to listen to
the podcast. The sheriff the DA I think both of you.
And then, in reference to another color moral of the story,
gun and red flag laws are nonsensical as violent criminals
don't follow the Wait.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What what you know? Criminals don't call the law.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
If they want a gun, they'll get it and they'll
use it with criminal intent. Let's go to the phone
lines right now, Greg from a place called Alt.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
You're on with Steve and George. What's your question?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
Man, Man, Well, George and Steve. Yeah, you guys do
need to do a couple more episodes. Probably should come
up into the Ault area broadcast from up this way.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
That'd be a lot shorter commute for me. Wow o cool.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
I grew up on a farm and I moved up
Long story short, I had to get to Weld County.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, to get back there with.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Some bought a little house outside of Alt in the country.
The road in front of my.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
House is actually paved.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
I'm not going to say what road it is, but
me and my wife would be out here working and
watching traffic go by and trying to get the place
fixed up, and these trucks are rolling by. I'm co
owner of a trucking and warehousing business. In Fort Collins.
Thank god it living Well County. So one of the
reasons wash, oh, thank the Lord, my sheriff declared Well
County second amendment of the sanctuary County for the second Amendment.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
You're right, who was that?
Speaker 8 (25:07):
But that was that guy that you're working with rams
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Listen to this guy.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
But anyway, No, but anyway, I'd be out here working
bust at hump and sweating like a farm kid does.
And my wife's like, look at those trucks going by.
They said, Steve Reims for sheriff.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, they were big hall trucks that had reams for
sheriff all over them. And that was man, that was priceless.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Yeah, do it again for Commissioner, Sheriff, you got it.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
For commissioner, you got it.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Buddy.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Were to come up here and broadcast from all and
you're it's male, It's done.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
There's got to be a way to do a remote thing. Hey, Greg,
thanks so much for the phone call.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Greg's line is open three h three seven three eighty
two fifty five. It turns out you have a couple
of fans up there.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, at least two.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I'll take it and especially if they're going on the
REMS for Commissioner website and making a donation, like I
encourage all the listeners to do everything for commissioner.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah, commission is a big word. How many ms are
in there?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
A few? Is there?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
I'm not sure there touching or not. Let's get to
the phone lines again. We'll try Dean Dean from Marvada.
You're on the Dan Capla show with Steven George. What
do you think my man.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Hey telling about this scumbag in North Carolina that.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Killed that girl?
Speaker 10 (26:13):
Yep, yep, all the judge, all these judges, including the
last one that released him.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Time for Republicans to start getting dirty and.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
Uh, like they need to actually get out there and
publicize what that judge, who that judge is, make sure
that they can't get elected again. And uh, I mean
she or he or she whoever released that scumbag is
responsible for that girl's death.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
So look, I get this, I totally get the sentiment.
I am frustrated with the judicial system too. I can't
I can't get there saying they're responsible because ultimately the
suspect is responsible for what he did. The criminal justice system,
it's broke and the judges are a piece of that.
(27:04):
I don't know the laws, and I don't know the
laws in North Carolina well enough to say if a
judge was, you know, handcuffed and was forced to let
this guy go on a no bond charge or whatever,
and I'm not given I'm not given the judges cover
by any sense of the word. But if you think
the legislature in Colorado hasn't impacted the bench and the
decisions that they can make, well you're sorely mistaken that
(27:27):
that same thing has to have happened in other places
in the country.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Dean, thank you for that phone call. Man we got
and forgive me, Dean, we got to cut away for
a break, man, forgive me. But what I like about
your point is, I'm pretty sure a governor Kirkmeyer appoints
different kinds of judges.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, way, way, way different. Yeah, we're going to get
some conservatives.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah, And Dean, to your point, but I'll say this,
I don't think it's dirty. I think being transparent about
who's putting up what bonds the way Sheriff Reams has
done up in will County, that's not playing dirty.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
That's like good politics.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Man.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
You that's just good government.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
You want to know what the heck these people making
these big decisions are doing and who's doing it.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
That's part of it. Man.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I think if I was a judge, i'd want that
information out. So the fact that you know I'm the
one producing it, it's it's a little weird. If I
were on the bench, I want I'd want the public
to know this is how I'm ruling.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah, I don't know if I could do it as DA.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
But we can talk about that off air. We're going
to cut away for a quick break here for the
last segment. It's what Steve has insisted as the clothing
optional segment for the show. George Brockler, Steve Riams filling
in for Dan Caplas on The Dankpla Show.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Welcome back to the Dan Capla Show here with George
Brockler and Steve Reams. In our last segment, and so
George said, fine, you take it. I've been hogging the
microphone all day. Actually, George, he was trying to make
it back from the bathroom, I think, but that went
right here. Well, at your age, I understand that.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Process.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
It's just not been very fast, like two hours went
smoking fast.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Oh yeah, has it been two hours? What are we
doing in the next hour? You're going to La Loma. Oh,
we're going to La Loma. I guess this is an
invitation for guests and Moss.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
I'm the one with the beard and the bald head.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah you are, Yeah you are.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
He's also the one that's going to pay for everything.
What Yeah, yeah, you brought your credit. I didn't get
that text real quickly.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
As in terms of that, I was at crime Con,
which is a legit thing.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Man.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I don't know if you heard about this. There's a
legit thing, crime Con that was in Gaylor, I know.
But her parents were there. Her dad was there along
with Yeah, no, I missed that one. But I was
talking up to the crowd about the fact that during
the Aurar Theater case, there's like an ongoing live blog thing.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
A lot of people were not working.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
They were and they would come up with nicknames for people,
and like Karen Pearson for obvious reasons, they called her
Stevie Nicks. For rich Ormond, who was kind of a
pitbull for us, they called him mad Dog and they
kept preferring to me as Ac throughout the trial ac
ac ac, and about halfway through the trial, someone asked,
why do we keep calling that dude Ac?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I don't know what is it? Anderson Cooper?
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I'm no joke man, and Cooper, oh buddy, And.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I like, where would you share that online?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Lady?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
What's wrong with it?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Has only been true in this way too, not in Colorado,
but when I have been outside the state. I went
to rent a car at Logan in Boston, Logan Airport
during the vid man during the COVID, so I have
a mask on. These two African American women are at
the adjoining whatever the next rental car places next to me.
They keep eyeball on me, and as I walk by
with my little keys, that are like, are you him?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Hey? Hey? Are you him? And I go, am I who?
They're like, you know? You know? I go, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
The guy from TV? And I go, I just dropped
my head, and I go Anderson Cooper, Yes, are you him?
And I go nope, and they go are you sure?
And then I go, I am certain that Anderson Cooper
isn't running from Avis. I'm pretty certain that that's not happening.
So that was a real thing that happened. So it's
a little bit of a blow to the ego. So
(31:11):
all right, no one says like, are you Brad Pitt?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Like I'm careful with those verb choices. So I.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Got asked when I was at a conference in Reno
by this Asian family. This little kid comes walking towards
me and his dad's you know, three or four steps
behind him, and I can tell they're focused on me,
and I walked a little closer and this kid looks
and this finally dad starts talking.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
He's like, are you Goldberg? You do look like Goldberg, bro,
And I was like, that's true.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
No, you have to say yes. What are you talking
about it? I said no, I'm not, but thank you.
And they're like, well, we wanted an autograph. I'm like,
I'll sign something for you, but it's it's not going
to be, you know, the real thing, and so they
decided that probably not a great idea. So anyways, I
got to say yes to those things, give that they
feel a sighted It was so I should have just
(32:02):
rolled with it, but it was so weird in the moment,
and I was like, well, I don't know if that's
a compliment if it's a slam, but I'll take it.
It's better than yours.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah. The crime con thing, the uh oh, nice young
lady came up to me. She announced that she and
her future husband go to all the crime cons and
they're gonna get married at the one in Vegas. She's
got a black gown for the whole thing, and they're
gonna use cuffs instead of rings, the whole thing. But
she comes up, she's like, hey, can I get a
picture with you? I'm like, that's so flattering, and she says,
she looks at me, she goes, you're the judge, right,
(32:30):
And I'm like, god, what is come on? I am
Michael Rourke. Dang it now, you can't pull that one off.
Got really good hair. He does have good hair, and
much like just about everyone else, he has a much
better half than than he is.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Kim is, Oh, yeah he too.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Yeah, she's all world. So what's next?
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Man? As you've announced, you've made this announcement that you're
running for governor.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
No, no, no, no, no, what is it?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
No?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Commission commissioner, commissioner, go make your donation, you know. So
here's the thing. I told you this before It was
never something I was like, yeah, this has been my
calling my whole life. But when you spend twenty eight
years in Weld County government, you kind of go, you
know what, this is an important position and I'm not
ready to walk away from government life altogether. And I
think I got something to give to to Weld County
(33:19):
and I'm going.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
To try to do it.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
How do people help out if they want to help them?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Well, financially mostly yeah, yeah, that's the importance of that website,
but vote, you know, people, I need people to show up,
and quite honestly, you know, engaging in a campaign is important.
But I'm gonna have a fundraiser on October first. That's
gonna be my big announcement slash fundraiser kickoff, and there's
(33:44):
information on the website for that as well, So sign up,
show up. But I just need people to engage in
the process. And you know, if you got tough questions
you want to ask, you can save them. You can
get to oh yeah, get to.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Meet through my website.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Obviously my social media pages will be changed a little bit,
but just engage, you know, I want to know what
people need out there, and I'm gonna shift gears a
little bit, but I'm always gonna have an eye for
public safety.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Is there any chance that after you're done with politics
you open up a dessert place called Reems Creams. Just anyway,
people with credibility will be taking over the show tomorrow.
We'll be back, probably when hell Freeze is over. I'm
George Brockler.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
That's Steve Riems. You're well, Kenny Sheriff, filling in for
Dan Cavlis. See y'all
This is Dan Capless and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dankplas Show. Please be sure to give
us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome back to the Dankpla Show.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Here with Da George Brock there and well kindy Sheriff
Steve Reims. We're trying to see if we can burn
this show down, not just kidding, We're trying to make
it somewhat entertaining. While Dan's out doing trial preper turing
the Caribbean or whatever he is, whatever he does, he's
doing Dan things.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
He's doing Dan things, and they pay a hell of
a lot better than the public safety stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Boy, there's a lot of things that pay a hell
of a lot better than the public safety stuff.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
That's a really strong point to be made. I should
have asked you this before. Sure, this is not the
topic we were going to do. What are you experiencing in
terms of recruiting and retention?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
That's a great question. So we went through a really
tough time in twenty twenty four. You know, I announced
earlier that I was running for WELDC Commissioner, and this
is one of the reasons. In twenty twenty four, we
were in a tough spot for hiring and retention. Our
salaries weren't competitive, and I basically went to the Border
(01:11):
County Commissioners and I said, look, I know you're looking
at doing a salary survey and trying to bump those
numbers up, but until then, I'm down on people. I
was down I think forty two staff members at that
time across the agency. Yeah, it's almost ten. Yeah, and
it was getting worse. And I said, you know, we
can wait or we can do something now. And actually
Commissioner Scott James said, let's fix this. What does it
(01:33):
take to fix this? And so I made a proposal.
We came back and threw a lot of gnashing of
teeth and me having to relocate some patrol deputies into
the jail just to cover stuff. We finally got to
the point where the board says, yeah, we're going to
fix your salary issues, and they adopted those things towards
the end of twenty twenty four. So now in twenty
(01:54):
twenty five, we're I can't say we're at full staff
because you never know exactly what your turn is. But
we're as close to it as I've ever been, and
not just with my is my time as sheriff, but
in my affiliation with the agency.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So we're in a good spot.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I think a lot of the people that come to
work in Well County do it because they know, well,
one they're going to get a competitive salary, they're going
to get a pretty decent benefits package. But two, they're
gonna have the support of the community. And if you're
out there arresting people, that kind of matters.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yeah, that's a big thing. That's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
We in the DA world, and I think this is
Metro area wide have experienced a change in recruiting two
and I kind of trace it back to one COVID
but that post George Floyd thing. And by the way,
law schools and I teach for DU, and I've been
teaching for DU for twenty three years and that's my
mom's alma mater. It's the second best law school in
the state. I'm a see you, gret as you know, Cooba.
(02:48):
But great kids that are out there. But these law
schools have become more and more woke in anti law
enforcement every year they praise the public defender, and in
some cases they deserve praise, but they really malign prosecution.
So we have seen a precipitous drop off in applications.
When I got into this game thirty years ago, when
(03:09):
I was four, you know, you could have a job opening,
there'll be forty applications.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Sure, same thing in law enforcement.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Now we're looking at in terms of qualified applications, a handful.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, Like it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So again back to what I was saying before, this
is the first time and I don't know forever, we
actually have a waiting list of folks nice wanting to
come work in the Well County jail because you know,
that's that's kind of your entry into law enforcement. Oftentimes
you don't have to be post certified, and they're like, hey,
this is my opportunity. It's a heck of a well
paying job for you know, a guy coming out with
(03:41):
maybe maybe just a high school diploma. You pass our
physical exam, you you pass the written test and everything,
and man, you got you got an opening here, right,
And man, it's a it's a unique environment.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I know, Darren's you know, really focusing on his stuff
in Douglas County. I can't say that Well County is
the model that every one should follow, but we're pretty
darn close to it.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Well, I can tell you Douglas County tried to go
down the Well County road by doing.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
That home rule thing.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, that didn't go so well. It.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, that's probably its own its own show. But that
thing hit a brick wall pretty hard head on.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You know, I don't understand the narrative that was out
there with the voters, and it may have just been
a messaging issue. But the Home World Charter for Weld
County has been a godsend. Like I said, it gives
us a lot of control over how we kind of
control our destiny on the things that are of issue
in Weld County. We can we can do things just
a little different, I guess, to make things simple for
(04:35):
the listeners.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I was trying to have a good buddy on a
guy named Dave Flaherty who's the head of Magellan Strategies,
because he has this point. You may have heard about it,
maybe you haven't, but it sort of talks about public
sentiment about Democrats Republicans and then it specifically names some people.
But here's the takeaway this name Michael Bennett. It's in there.
(04:58):
Michael Bennett's in there. But this is important one because
as you know, we had Darren Weekly on sheriff of
Douglas County. He's run for reelection. We know that a
guy named Steve Rams.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I think that's how he pronounce it, Yeah, something like
this is ms. Is that the French? No, we don't
ever say it that way, reams.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Riems is running for county commissioner up there and welled,
and who knows, maybe we have another surprise announcement here
during this particular segment.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I think that's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
But he did this poll and it gives Republicans, in
my opinion, some sense of optimism.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Here.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
This is what it says. Here's the question. This is
question twenty seven. Do you approve or disapprove of the
job the following Colorado individuals and organizations are doing your
local county or town government. I'm going to chalk that
up to or city or town government forty six percent,
your county government total approval forty four percent. Okay, all right,
(05:52):
disapprovals forty So you're still in the plus.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You're still in the plus.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Governor Jared Polis disapprove fifty two percent. Wow, fifty two
percent man, forty one percent approval.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That is that's kind of hurting.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
That's got to hurt. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
The legislature thirty nine percent approval, forty five percent disapproval.
And then we get into Senator Michael Bennet. They actually
spelled his name wrong. It's just got the one t
A total approval of thirty eight percent disapproved, forty four
hiccken Looper approve.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Does that mean that Bennett has low ti? Okay, gotcha?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Senator Hicky Looper thirty seven percent approval, forty nine percent disapprove.
Those are awful, Yeah, they're terrible. Those are awful numbers.
I mean, that should give Republicans some hope there. But
it's not like the Republicans are coming out a lot
better in this poll either. But man, in your opinion,
what does it take in Well County? Of course, if
(06:52):
you're the Republican, do you have you guys ever elected
a Democrat?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Uh, we don't have any elected Democrats in our legislature,
any county seat. We have had some, but we we
evicted all those folks the last election cycles so HD fifty,
which was right around the University of Northern Colorado that
was maintained by a Democrat for quite some time. But
Ryan Gonzalez turned that one around nice. You know, Kevin
(07:17):
Priola threw a shift. Yeah, Kevin Priola. Yeah, he ended
up representing Weld County. He never represented Weld County, but
Scott Bright knocked him off. This went politically trans what happened,
That's exactly what he did. But long story short, Weld Counties,
it's it's it's it's safe, it's a it's a good
place for Republicans. You know, how do you turn this around?
(07:37):
I guess in my opinion, and I hate to say this,
but this story that we're talking about with the inmate
I had to release the Solomon Gallaghan case. You know,
the fact that the Governor Polis is jumping in on
this Twitter battle with Elon Musk and trying to say, no, no, no,
it's it's not the state of Colorado that's screwed up.
It's not our criminal justice system, it's your DA and
your county attorney. Give me a break. But the fact
(07:59):
that Polus like he's got to jump in on I
shouldn't say Twitter, and this ex battle and try to
defend his honor tells you what that polling data tells you. Also,
the Democrats are losing ground, and again I can't help
but think it's people in normal society are looking out
and going, huh, this thing's kind of on fire, not
(08:19):
like this show is, but you know, in a bad.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Way, right right? What is that smell?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
The other part of this, though, that concerns me is
despite all those things you said, which are one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
True, and people in the know say.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
This to each other all the time, I can't believe
anyone in Denver's like I'm super excited about the way public.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Safety is going, or anywhere else. And that's not a
knock on DPD. I just I think DPD gets.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Their hands tied by the city that manages them. When
you're an elected sheriff, you call the shots man. No
one tells you what.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Nobody's telling me how to run my agency other than
the citizens, right, Like, I'm answering to the citizens each
and every day, but yeah, no one's telling me, hey,
go out and force this over that. You know, we're
doing what we think is in the best interest of
the citizens. Unless the legislature inserts itself, you know, and
puts handcuffs on us. But regardless, you know, I think
there comes a point where, you know, you quit listening
(09:12):
to the criminals and you start listening to the average
citizen who just wants to be able to sit on
their front porch. And I get shot at. I have
to believe that there's plenty of people in Denver that
are sick and tired of what they're seeing.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It is.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
It turns out we're not the only people drinking during
the radio show. Here's a couple of texts George and Steve.
You guys are hilarious. Let's hope they'll be another episode
before the sheriff gets to be a commissioner. Here's another
Georgia sheriff. I like the sheriffs. Oh no, we talked
about that when that one's a slam on me. And also,
this show is great. Hope you all do it again
(09:46):
this one. I gotta believe we're gonna have to find
another station because we're shutting down six thirty at the
end of this. I'm so sorry for all the employees. Listen,
we have a couple of callers on the line, and
in fact, Apparently Kevin called back because he had more
to say.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We'll get to him.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
We will get to Kep, but we got to cut
away for a break because Ryan says so inside the headphone,
So stick around. By the way, text us five seven
seven three nine is the text thing.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's got to start.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Off with Dan followed by George like you.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Better than Steve, and then put the rest of the
message in there, or you can give us a call.
Three oh three seven one three eighty two fifty five
seven one three eight uh eight two yeah, eight two
five five good.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
We've been been doing this. Now let's just go to break.
Let's just be done, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Take you were listening to Dan Capless show here on
six thirty k how with George and.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Steve, and now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
George Brockler and Sheriff Steve Reams.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Also, by the way, Commissioner Canada back filling in for
Dan kaplis Uh, Steve, you're running for county commissioner, which
I think is reckless and a sign of potentially some
other mental illness that you want to take on a
non public safety elected office. But if people wanted to
support you, how would they do this.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Well, first they could, you know, pat me on the
back and say thanks for staying involved in the ja
county because you know, we know you'll take care of
the Sheriff's office too. That's right, But reems for commissioner,
and I encourage everybody go out there make a donation.
It'll make you feel better, and you know it's just
a good.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Thing to do.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
It'll it'll make you happy, It'll make it'll make them
happy too. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Listen, you have a constituent online right now, Jordan from Greeley.
Jordan's been very patient. She had a question for Sheriff Rheims. Jordan,
what do you got?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Hi, good afternoon. First, I just want to say thank
you so much for that statement you made earlier about
doing what it takes to protect the citizens of Wall County.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I appreciated that.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Yeah, and I don't want to debate red flag or
criminals getting guns, right, we all know all the crowd
that surrounds that. But Larimer County did issue a red
flag order on that efforting kid, and so I'm curious, like,
if you knew he had a gun, would the shariff's
(12:05):
office in four stats.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Well, I guess that's a hypothetical, but quite frankly, I
think yothetical.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Because of his refugee status, there may be a question
about whether or not he can even and that that
take a deeper dive.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
If we find out that he's he's obtained a gun
in in violation of a court order, Yeah, we're probably
going to figure out how to deal with this guy.
And I'm not a supporter of the red flag law,
and you've probably understand a million reasons why, But in
this particular incident, I think there's a whole lot of
compounding factors that we would say, hey, for public safety concerns,
(12:43):
you know, we're probably going to try to figure out
how to how to take this guy off the street
because I think he's probably got some gun violations that
go beyond red flag.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Jordan's here's a corollary to that, because this this could
come up as well. I'm no fan of the magazine limits.
I don't think it serves a legitimate purpose. It's never
going to stop a single crime. But if somebody walked
into a bank or some other place and committed a
crime with one, the question is would I add that
(13:15):
as a charge on top of the billions of other charges.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I probably would.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I don't know how the case turns out, but I
probably would throw every single thing I could at.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Then it's one more thing to negotiate. So when you're
trying to figure out, all right, this guy, if he's
going to cut a plea, can I take this charge off.
I'm not saying that that's necessarily what goes into all
your mindset when you're charging a guy.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
But some people you just need to hammer with the laws.
That's right.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
This dude that got released from my jail. The problem
is no matter how many times we hammer him with
the law, so to this color. Yeah, So even if
we are rested him for violating his red flag order,
what's it going to do. He's going to turn around
and walk right back down with the jail.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What would you want to see happening?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Well, I just want to know that in extreme cases
where we do feel like society and Sheriff Breams has
to make a post like this, that we know that
in an extreme case, if they did find out that
somebody very dangerous was out there going to and could
possibly harm the community, that he was going to step
in and take care of it, and I appreciate we're
(14:13):
going to figure.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Out a way to do whatever we can. And to
be honest with you, this isn't the first incident where
that the red flag law, HERPO law has come up,
and you know, we've had a reason to go investigate
this person for a potential violation. But quite frankly, there's
there's usually something that's far worse that's underlying that that
that's the thing we attack, and I think that's probably
(14:34):
the same thing with this individual. But again, the criminal
justice system has this giant crack in it in my
opinion right now that even if we are resting, we
take him off the street, we need a place that
he stays. We need a place that this guy goes
away for a very long time. But hey, I appreciate
you calling in, and I really appreciate the compliment. With
that compliment, you should get on my website and they
(14:55):
con donate rooms for commissioner.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Thank you, Jordan.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Hey, along those lines, there's another weak link to this
system you and I can't control, and I don't think
voters have good visibility on it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And that's the bench.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And I'm not maligning any individual judge or anything like that.
But it is a weakness in the system because whatever
good work you do on the street, you march that
guy into court, the judge could just cut him.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Loose well and tell me. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
I can't imagine that there's a judge in this state
anymore that's been appointed by a Republican governor.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
No.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I think that the entire Supreme Court has been appointed
by Democrat governor.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, and so go.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Down the line, how many you know, how many? How
many judges are still on the bench? That Owens member,
that's our last Republican governor. Is there a judge still
on the bench anywhere in the state?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Would you? I can't imagine that there is one.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
No, because we also have a weird rule for judges
where we say, at age seventy two, you are dead
to us, like you can't serve you got anymore. I
don't know any of their positions that are age limited
like that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
But that's one.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
But the judges thing is real because you're going to
see them on the ballot along with all these.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Races we're going to talk about over.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
The next you know, fifteen months, or so, and you
will know nothing about the judges you cast to vote
for yours, however, are in love with you?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, well, I want you to read this latest text
that just came in.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
This The latest text says, it's better if you read it. Sheriff,
your very existence makes us all.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Happy, isn't That isn't that's just so warm?
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I feel pretty sure that came from your under Sheriff.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Is that well? I can also text the end.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
You are so very good looking. That beard is wonderful.
That's great, it's exactly. Your head's so shiny. So you
did something, by the way, we talked about off air
that I thought was worth commenting on about the judges
because it's important.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh yeah, so yeah, I don't know. Maybe a year
or two ago, you know, we started having all this
bond reform, and there was a question about why are
you letting all these people out? You know, and it's
no knock on the constituents. Why does this person keep
getting out of jail? Why does this person keep getting
released with our bond? So my fix to that we
have an arrest report where when someone gets arrested, it
(17:05):
shows what their charge is. You know who arrested them,
and you know basically what time they came to jail.
So I said, well, let's do a released report and
it'll show which inmate got out, which judge set his bond,
and what that bond was set at. And I got
to tell you, I wasn't exactly very popular amongst the
bench in Weld County, but in my mind, that gave
(17:29):
them the perfect, perfect opportunity to say, hey, we have
constraints on the way we issue issue bonds on these
particular cases. They could have educated the public and said, hey,
you know, these are the laws that were passed. We're
handcuffed on some of these things too. Instead, they got
pissed off at me, or a few of them did,
because hey, we're putting public information out there.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Sorry, that's what we do.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I listen, we have maybe the best chief judge in
the state of Colorado, and he has created the bond guidelines,
but with the understanding that you have to get them
from the judge, which means lotty Doddy, everybody that gets
hooked is going to spend at least a night in
jail before they go see the judge to get the bond.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I love that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Hey, listen, it's Steve and George filling in for Dan Caplis.
Five seven seven three nine is the text three h
three seven three eighty two fifty five.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Cigaree will be right back. You're listening to the Dan
Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
I'm Bart Kirkmeyer. I'm a mom, a grandmother, and a
lifeline Colorado and today I'm announcing my campaign for governor
of Colorado. It's time. It's time for a governor who
knows how to govern and who believes Colorado's best days
are still ahead.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I believe in a.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Colorado where families can afford to live, work and thrive.
A Colorado where we lower the cost of health care
and insurance, make housing attainable, protect our kids, strengthen our schools,
and build safer communities. Colorado where businesses can grow, innovate,
and create good paying jobs without the government standing in
(19:05):
the way. This is the Colorado I know we can have.
I know what it's like to work hard for every dollar.
I grew up poor on a dairy farm in northern
Jeffson County. At a young age, I was My job
was to feed the calves before and after school. My
allowance was about two dollars a month. By the time
(19:26):
I was nine, I had saved enough money to buy
my own half for calf and join four AH. That's
how I learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and
saving for the future. I worked my way through college
and went on to build two small businesses, from owning
a dairy farm and to running a floral shop. In
the nineteen nineties, I got involved in politics when I
(19:48):
led the fight to stop new landfills in Weld County.
Everyone told me it wasn't possible, but I won that fight. Later,
as a Weld County Commissioner, I guided Welled to one
of the only debt three counties in the entire state.
And as a state Senator, I've stood up for taxpayers,
fought to lower costs, and invested historic amounts of funding
(20:09):
into education. Now some say you have to be a
Democrat to win statewide in Colorado.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I just don't think so.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
I say Colorado is ready for a new direction, ready
for a common sense conservative leader who will roll up
for sleeves, work with people, and deliver real results, not
political games. As you're a governor, I won't raise your
taxes I'll fight for affordability, make our communities safe, fix
our roads, and partner with local governments to actually solve problems.
(20:42):
I'll make sure our kids grow up in a Colorado
full of opportunity, with a future that is brighter and
stronger than ever before. Together, we can build a Colorado
that works for everyone. Join me at kirkmeyerfcolorado dot com
because it's time. It's time for a governor who will
(21:02):
get to work for you, for your family, and for
Colorado's future.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
How about that? Who was it? I think that was
Barbara Kirkmeyer.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Oh, that's what it said that that was the Beach
Boys song.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
We almost sounded like, well it was a barber shop.
I guess it wouldn't be a quote.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Something like that.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Now you know Barb pretty well because you guys were
in government up there in the world at the same time.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
So Barb is a five term county commissioner in World County.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
So she ran for two.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Terms, walked away for a little while, and got reactivated,
came back and did three more terms. Wow, Barb's not
joking though, And she said she was part of the
county that has no long term debt, no short term
debt and a very low tax rate, and she took
that same ax with her as a senator on the
Joint Budget Committee down to the State House. So I
(22:00):
talked to Barb earlier on the phone. I said, we'd
love to have you on the show. Unfortunately, she's doing
her announcement as we speak. She had an event now
in Fort Luton. At five point thirty. She said, I'll
do you one better. I'll pre record something. You guys
can play it at the same time that I'm making
my announcement. Should be a pretty similar speech. Otherwise we
were going to make you drive up to Fort Lupton,
(22:20):
Georgia and do something.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
I thought she were just going to give me the
speech and make me read it as if I was Barb.
You know, I don't know what could have been worse.
I'm pretty sure that would have ended the show. I look,
I'm a big Barb fan too. I like what she's
done on the JBC. I would have much rather had
her live. But I'm thrilled that we're the first to
get to expose this great news that was first put
in print that she had filed yesterday.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But nonetheless, I have good news. What's the good news?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Barb Kirkmeyer, the Senator, will be joining me on Ryan
Schuling three o'clock hour.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Tomorrow, in which hour just likes to be better.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's the three o'clock hour. In the three o'clock hour,
hour two the podcast. Well, it's true, you Ryan, I
don't know. I mean, I feel like we got cheated
mic Off. I know, frankly, they have all the buttons?
Do I have the buttons?
Speaker 10 (23:07):
That's we have any idea how many times I have
told him that today?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Which screw for the buttons?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I mean, yeah, I don't know what goes on back
behind the glass.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
There's Blaire. I don't know if you guys, Ryan knows this.
There's Glaire.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
You guys could be clothing optional back there, and I
never know. Again, Party, we do have some buttons here.
They're attached to some phone. Mindes, we're gonna do that.
Hang on a couple texts five seven seven three nine, Sheriff.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I'm gonna make it radio safe.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Darn love my neighbors, but they came over, so I've
not been listening to this fantastic show. I really love
both of you guys, Darn, I have to listen to
the podcast. The sheriff the DA I think both of you.
And then, in reference to another color moral of the story,
gun and red flag laws are nonsensical as violent criminals
don't follow the Wait.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What what you know? Criminals don't call the law.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
If they want a gun, they'll get it and they'll
use it with criminal intent. Let's go to the phone
lines right now, Greg from a place called Alt.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
You're on with Steve and George. What's your question?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
Man, Man, Well, George and Steve. Yeah, you guys do
need to do a couple more episodes. Probably should come
up into the Ault area broadcast from up this way.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
That'd be a lot shorter commute for me. Wow o cool.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
I grew up on a farm and I moved up
Long story short, I had to get to Weld County.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, to get back there with.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Some bought a little house outside of Alt in the country.
The road in front of my.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
House is actually paved.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
I'm not going to say what road it is, but
me and my wife would be out here working and
watching traffic go by and trying to get the place
fixed up, and these trucks are rolling by. I'm co
owner of a trucking and warehousing business. In Fort Collins.
Thank god it living Well County. So one of the
reasons wash, oh, thank the Lord, my sheriff declared Well
County second amendment of the sanctuary County for the second Amendment.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
You're right, who was that?
Speaker 8 (25:07):
But that was that guy that you're working with rams
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Listen to this guy.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
But anyway, No, but anyway, I'd be out here working
bust at hump and sweating like a farm kid does.
And my wife's like, look at those trucks going by.
They said, Steve Reims for sheriff.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, they were big hall trucks that had reams for
sheriff all over them. And that was man, that was priceless.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Yeah, do it again for Commissioner, Sheriff, you got it.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
For commissioner, you got it.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Buddy.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Were to come up here and broadcast from all and
you're it's male, It's done.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
There's got to be a way to do a remote thing. Hey, Greg,
thanks so much for the phone call.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Greg's line is open three h three seven three eighty
two fifty five. It turns out you have a couple
of fans up there.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, at least two.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I'll take it and especially if they're going on the
REMS for Commissioner website and making a donation, like I
encourage all the listeners to do everything for commissioner.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah, commission is a big word. How many ms are
in there?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
A few? Is there?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
I'm not sure there touching or not. Let's get to
the phone lines again. We'll try Dean Dean from Marvada.
You're on the Dan Capla show with Steven George. What
do you think my man.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Hey telling about this scumbag in North Carolina that.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Killed that girl?
Speaker 10 (26:13):
Yep, yep, all the judge, all these judges, including the
last one that released him.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Time for Republicans to start getting dirty and.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
Uh, like they need to actually get out there and
publicize what that judge, who that judge is, make sure
that they can't get elected again. And uh, I mean
she or he or she whoever released that scumbag is
responsible for that girl's death.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
So look, I get this, I totally get the sentiment.
I am frustrated with the judicial system too. I can't
I can't get there saying they're responsible because ultimately the
suspect is responsible for what he did. The criminal justice system,
it's broke and the judges are a piece of that.
(27:04):
I don't know the laws, and I don't know the
laws in North Carolina well enough to say if a
judge was, you know, handcuffed and was forced to let
this guy go on a no bond charge or whatever,
and I'm not given I'm not given the judges cover
by any sense of the word. But if you think
the legislature in Colorado hasn't impacted the bench and the
decisions that they can make, well you're sorely mistaken that
(27:27):
that same thing has to have happened in other places
in the country.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Dean, thank you for that phone call. Man we got
and forgive me, Dean, we got to cut away for
a break, man, forgive me. But what I like about
your point is, I'm pretty sure a governor Kirkmeyer appoints
different kinds of judges.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, way, way, way different. Yeah, we're going to get
some conservatives.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah, And Dean, to your point, but I'll say this,
I don't think it's dirty. I think being transparent about
who's putting up what bonds the way Sheriff Reams has
done up in will County, that's not playing dirty.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
That's like good politics.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Man.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
You that's just good government.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
You want to know what the heck these people making
these big decisions are doing and who's doing it.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
That's part of it. Man.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I think if I was a judge, i'd want that
information out. So the fact that you know I'm the
one producing it, it's it's a little weird. If I
were on the bench, I want I'd want the public
to know this is how I'm ruling.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah, I don't know if I could do it as DA.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
But we can talk about that off air. We're going
to cut away for a quick break here for the
last segment. It's what Steve has insisted as the clothing
optional segment for the show. George Brockler, Steve Riams filling
in for Dan Caplas on The Dankpla Show.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Welcome back to the Dan Capla Show here with George
Brockler and Steve Reams. In our last segment, and so
George said, fine, you take it. I've been hogging the
microphone all day. Actually, George, he was trying to make
it back from the bathroom, I think, but that went
right here. Well, at your age, I understand that.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Process.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
It's just not been very fast, like two hours went
smoking fast.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Oh yeah, has it been two hours? What are we
doing in the next hour? You're going to La Loma. Oh,
we're going to La Loma. I guess this is an
invitation for guests and Moss.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
I'm the one with the beard and the bald head.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah you are, Yeah you are.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
He's also the one that's going to pay for everything.
What Yeah, yeah, you brought your credit. I didn't get
that text real quickly.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
As in terms of that, I was at crime Con,
which is a legit thing.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Man.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I don't know if you heard about this. There's a
legit thing, crime Con that was in Gaylor, I know.
But her parents were there. Her dad was there along
with Yeah, no, I missed that one. But I was
talking up to the crowd about the fact that during
the Aurar Theater case, there's like an ongoing live blog thing.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
A lot of people were not working.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
They were and they would come up with nicknames for people,
and like Karen Pearson for obvious reasons, they called her
Stevie Nicks. For rich Ormond, who was kind of a
pitbull for us, they called him mad Dog and they
kept preferring to me as Ac throughout the trial ac
ac ac, and about halfway through the trial, someone asked,
why do we keep calling that dude Ac?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I don't know what is it? Anderson Cooper?
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I'm no joke man, and Cooper, oh buddy, And.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I like, where would you share that online?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Lady?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
What's wrong with it?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Has only been true in this way too, not in Colorado,
but when I have been outside the state. I went
to rent a car at Logan in Boston, Logan Airport
during the vid man during the COVID, so I have
a mask on. These two African American women are at
the adjoining whatever the next rental car places next to me.
They keep eyeball on me, and as I walk by
with my little keys, that are like, are you him?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Hey? Hey? Are you him? And I go, am I who?
They're like, you know? You know? I go, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
The guy from TV? And I go, I just dropped
my head, and I go Anderson Cooper, Yes, are you him?
And I go nope, and they go are you sure?
And then I go, I am certain that Anderson Cooper
isn't running from Avis. I'm pretty certain that that's not happening.
So that was a real thing that happened. So it's
a little bit of a blow to the ego. So
(31:11):
all right, no one says like, are you Brad Pitt?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Like I'm careful with those verb choices. So I.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Got asked when I was at a conference in Reno
by this Asian family. This little kid comes walking towards
me and his dad's you know, three or four steps
behind him, and I can tell they're focused on me,
and I walked a little closer and this kid looks
and this finally dad starts talking.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
He's like, are you Goldberg? You do look like Goldberg, bro,
And I was like, that's true.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
No, you have to say yes. What are you talking
about it? I said no, I'm not, but thank you.
And they're like, well, we wanted an autograph. I'm like,
I'll sign something for you, but it's it's not going
to be, you know, the real thing, and so they
decided that probably not a great idea. So anyways, I
got to say yes to those things, give that they
feel a sighted It was so I should have just
(32:02):
rolled with it, but it was so weird in the moment,
and I was like, well, I don't know if that's
a compliment if it's a slam, but I'll take it.
It's better than yours.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah. The crime con thing, the uh oh, nice young
lady came up to me. She announced that she and
her future husband go to all the crime cons and
they're gonna get married at the one in Vegas. She's
got a black gown for the whole thing, and they're
gonna use cuffs instead of rings, the whole thing. But
she comes up, she's like, hey, can I get a
picture with you? I'm like, that's so flattering, and she says,
she looks at me, she goes, you're the judge, right,
(32:30):
And I'm like, god, what is come on? I am
Michael Rourke. Dang it now, you can't pull that one off.
Got really good hair. He does have good hair, and
much like just about everyone else, he has a much
better half than than he is.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Kim is, Oh, yeah he too.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Yeah, she's all world. So what's next?
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Man? As you've announced, you've made this announcement that you're
running for governor.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
No, no, no, no, no, what is it?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
No?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Commission commissioner, commissioner, go make your donation, you know. So
here's the thing. I told you this before It was
never something I was like, yeah, this has been my
calling my whole life. But when you spend twenty eight
years in Weld County government, you kind of go, you
know what, this is an important position and I'm not
ready to walk away from government life altogether. And I
think I got something to give to to Weld County
(33:19):
and I'm going.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
To try to do it.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
How do people help out if they want to help them?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Well, financially mostly yeah, yeah, that's the importance of that website,
but vote, you know, people, I need people to show up,
and quite honestly, you know, engaging in a campaign is important.
But I'm gonna have a fundraiser on October first. That's
gonna be my big announcement slash fundraiser kickoff, and there's
(33:44):
information on the website for that as well, So sign up,
show up. But I just need people to engage in
the process. And you know, if you got tough questions
you want to ask, you can save them. You can
get to oh yeah, get to.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Meet through my website.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Obviously my social media pages will be changed a little bit,
but just engage, you know, I want to know what
people need out there, and I'm gonna shift gears a
little bit, but I'm always gonna have an eye for
public safety.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Is there any chance that after you're done with politics
you open up a dessert place called Reems Creams. Just anyway,
people with credibility will be taking over the show tomorrow.
We'll be back, probably when hell Freeze is over. I'm
George Brockler.
Speaker 2 (34:23):

Dan Cavlis. See y'all
