Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am so happy to have our next guest joining me.
Hidi Ganal is the founder of the Rocky Mountain Voice.
If you're not reading the Rocky Mountain Voice dot com
every day, you are missing a great opportunity to get
a lot of good news in one place.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
No, it's not all good news.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I should have said. Okay, you can get your news
in an awesome place at Rockymountain Voice dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hide. Welcome back to the show. Oh hi, Mandy, it's
great to be on.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So let's talk about first of all, how are things
going at the Rocky Mountain Voice.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's going great. It's growing very fast. We've got over
one hundred and fifty thousand subscribers that read our newsletter
every day and get news from our unabashably right of
center news stores in the Mountain Minute newsletter. So we're
having a lot of fun and we're hosting a lot
of events around the seat, getting people together to have
a lot of fun and make it fun and exciting
to be a conservative in Colorado again.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So what's happened on Sunday?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So Sunday we're having the Rocky Mountain Rumble. This is
actually hosted by Wide Open and I'm honored to be
a speaker at the event, as well as Congresswoman Lauren
Bobert and John Fabricatory Valdemar archletta surgery from CD seven.
We've got great candidates. We have Danielle Darinsky who's going
to get up and speak. It's going to be a
lot of fun. We've got hundreds of people rsvped It's
(01:16):
one of the best places to have an event in Colorado.
Super fun, right off by twenty five in Calthlarock Parkway.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's easy to find and there's tons of parking. It
is a really good space to have an event, and
it kind of allows people from south of the metro
in the Springs to make an easy trip up to
do it as well. What inspired this rumble? And Well, okay,
I was going to ask you a question, but I'm
going to change it. I'm going to tell you my
statement and then I'm going to ask you a question.
This is the kind of stuff that would normally be
(01:42):
put together by the party apparatus. Did you guys just
decide since that wasn't happening, that you would fill that hole.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Well, we're not actually the sponsors of the event. I'm
just speaking at the end. Oh, I got you. I'm sorry.
It's okay. Some great people got together with Wide Open
and decided to put it on, and we're just helping
get the word out about it because we think this
is exactly what we need to do in Colorado. And
you know, us Republicans have gotten that. You know, it's
(02:13):
a little depressed lately, so you know, in order to
get everyone fired up for the next fifty two days
for the election, we want to get everyone together have
a good time. We've got a great band, the Randy
Burkhart Band. He's a wonderful country singer, and it's just
going to be about having fun and getting people excited,
connected and collaborating. It's at five o'clock on Sunday, but
parking's kind of a bear, so everybody should get there.
(02:34):
Earli or Uber down there and we'll have a great
night filled with lots of fun.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, I've got it linked on the blog, although I
did not understand that it was being hosted by the
Wide Open Saloon. So I've now given them their credit.
And it should be the people that come to your events, Heidi,
and I'm just talking about, not the people that are
speaking I'm talking about the people that just come to
your events are some of the nicest people out there.
And if there was ever an opportunity for people to
(03:00):
come out and hang out with completely normal, uncrazy people
who love this country and love this state, I'm guessing
Sunday is going to be another opportunity to do just that.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Oh thanks, Mandy. I just I love my friends, my
conservative friends across the state. We have a great time
together and we all got to know each other as
I traveled around the state in the governor's race. But
I think, you know, it's kind of it's the hidden
gem to get these people together for fun and exciting rallies.
It's just something that's missing right now in our party
in the state, as you know, for obvious reasons. So yeah,
(03:35):
we all thought let's just do it and not think
too much about it, get it together and hopefully people
will show up and people are RSVP like crazy. Well,
I always great event.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I also put the RSVP link on the blog today,
and I know that it's a free event. You don't
have to pay anything. But I do know that there's
it's wide open. Saloon is big, but it's not that big,
so I'm guessing that if you've already gotten a bunch
of free tickets out already, if people want to ur as,
they probably need to do that sooner rather than later.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, Mandy, and we did put a link on the
top of the Rocky Mountain Voice website. Now you just
go to a Rockymountain Voice dot com or your blog.
But people should URRCP mostly for security reasons. We're going
to have a pretty heavy security presence. There's been lots
of threats by the Democrats about protests and crazy stuff,
so we just want to make sure everybody's safe and
so to register that makes sure you have a spot.
(04:24):
It also makes sure that we kind of know who's
going to be there and make sure that everyone's safe.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
All right, Hidigan all, I appreciate you and everything at
Rockymountain Voice dot com. And Sunday afternoon, it's going to
be a fun party starting at five at the Wide
Open Saloon and I will see you soon.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Thanks Mandy, have a great day all right.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Thanks Hidi.
