THERE IS A GOP GOVERNOR'S DEBATE IN JANUARY And yours truly will be one of the moderators, along with my pal Ryan Schuiling from next door at KHOW (moving to morning drive in January!) It will have the top FIVE candidates, even though SIX were invited. Only Victor Marx said no, first citing an out of town fundraiser and then just passing when the offer was made to move the event to a weekend that could accommodate his schedule. I am less and less interested in Victor Marx as a candidate. Get your free tickets to the event in Greeley on January 10th at 1:30 by clicking here, but don't wait, they are going fast. Thanks to Steve Wells for making this happen, and Sheriff Steve Reams for setting it up. Ryan pops in at 1:30 to chat about the drama behind the invites with me.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The host on our brother station six thirty k hel
Brother two to four. I just can't call it a
sister station. There's literally no chicks on the station.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
There's one right here.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Well you plus I'm the station in January. Big changes
coming in. They're positive changes, or I would be like
big changes are coming, but they're not. So I can
say big changes are coming. Where are you moving to?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Well, a little bit of real estate has been shifting
around thanks to one of Michael Browne. Coming over here
between nine am and noon is a prelude to your program,
so something had to fill the va am to ten am?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Was that you?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That was me?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I'm trying to do what a Rod asked me to do.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
No, but it's weird. I was hearing like two different
Mandy voices. I thought my brain, yep. But anyway, six
am to ten am over there had been vacant for
some time and it made sense to Jeffersons two years
well to the morning drive, well, removing the furniture, and
that's what's happening. And so you know, very appreciative of
(01:03):
that opportunity to you know, try to pick up where
Brownie left off.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, you're there was a and here's the thing. Every
single person that was in contention for that job is
a friend of mine, every single one of them. And
I told Dave Tepper, I was like, first of all,
I'm out, like I have no opinion, but there was
no way that we weren't going to win in that.
But you made absolutely the most sense. You're a known
(01:29):
quantity there. People love you on K They love you
here too when you do your feeling work. But I'm
super excited for you, even though I don't want that.
I don't want that schedule.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You used to have it, you know, following in the
lineage of khow mornings would be Mandy Connell, ros Kamensky,
Michael Brown would all three of them have in common?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And now they're all on camp. That's the thing, right,
living the dream buddy. Now let's let's we got to
talk about this other thing before it went out of time.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And there's another thing.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, there's another thing. We are going to be moderating
a goobleatory of debate in January January tenth up in Greeley.
Big thanks to both Sheriff Steve Reams and our buddy
Steve Wells. Steve is underwriting this whole thing. It is
designed to be a debate for the top six GOP
gubernatorial candidates, and it will be a debate between the
(02:16):
top five gubernatorial candidates. And I didn't ask Sheriff Steve
Reams how much of the back and forth that I
could share, because you and I were both privy to
the series of text messages that were exchanged with the candidates,
and every candidate except one immediately jumped in to confirm
the one candidate.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Victor Marx. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I might add too that Representative Scott Bottoms had just
lost his father like two days before we passed away,
and he committed to it. Barb Kirkmeyer, Greg Lopez, I'll
offer this part of the exchange because I think it's
relevant to discussion and for our listeners to know. Both
Barb and Greg offered to move the date YEP immediately
to accommodate Victor. Victor just has an event apparently scheduled
(03:00):
January tenth, I believe Saturday coming up, so about a
month from now, and kind of gave a blanket response
that he's looking forward to debates, but not that one,
and it was a conflict in his schedule. He's going
to be appearing with me actually tomorrow morning, Victor Marx
eight am over there on six point thirty k ow,
it'll be the first question that I asked him is
why not this debate? Why not?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Why wait? Why punt? Why can't the event you have
on January tenth be moved? I mean, isn't that important?
What's more important than an open debate for the voters
to consider the candidate correct and for Victor to have
opportunity to interact with these other candidates and prove himself
to be the best candidate.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
When he came back with the I have a conflict,
I get it, you got a conflict.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Maybe it's a.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Big fundraiser, maybe whatever you gotta sco there's a lot
of but when you know immediately the offer was made,
we'll move this to accommodate you. And then it just
got felt dodgy. I felt like his response was vague
and hey, you guys have a good time. All promoted
among my channels. It's almost literally what he said there
at the event. I know that's why I chose those
So basically, I'll let all of my people see you
(04:03):
guys rip each other to shreds and then I'll prote that,
but I won't. Actually, I got to tell you, I don't.
I don't understand the fascination with this guy. I'm going
to be perfectly honest. It's almost like he's trying to
pull a Trump. Remember as the primary where Ronda Santis
and Nikki Haley and all the other Republican candidates, it
felt like a junior varsity debate.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And you know, well Trump had been President of the
United States, so exactly kind of get that. I don't
know that Victor Marx is on that level. Especially there
are so many listeners in my audience, Mandy, and maybe
you've gotten the same response that they don't even know
who this guy is or are aware of him. Now,
he's done a lot, He's written a couple of books.
Apparently he had some ties to Turning Point, USA and
Charlie Kirk. There's a lot of interesting aspects to his story.
(04:44):
I just think that he needs to he owes it
to listeners and to potential voters to really get into
the nitty gritty and the devil of the details of
exactly you know, there are questions about some things about
his past, or questions about his political acumen. Does he
have policy stance iss that can be well articulated. I
think this might be some of the concern that he
(05:04):
gets up there on a debate with a very well
versed Barb kirkclar Yeah, and I'm just telling you that
that's the difference is going to be noticeable. So I'm
looking forward to moderating to debate with the candidates that
we have, Mandy.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
But to your point, I agree.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I am disappointed that Victor Marx is not choosing to
be part of it. Maybe he'll change his mind after
he talks to me.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
To Mark, you know what, from your lips to God's ears.
I hope so, because it also feels disrespectful right in
a way of all of the other candidates that are running.
Here you have a forum and by the way, to
the texture, said Mandy, I live in Greeley. Can I
come to the debate? You absolutely can. But tickets are
going very very quickly. They're free, packed, they're free. But
(05:43):
you better get him soon. I put a link on
the blog today. If you want to know more about that,
you have the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
This is just my upbringing. My background is be a
question I have for victors. I'm not going to say
anything here that I won't say directly to him. It's like,
what makes your time more valuable than Barb Kirkliers or
Greg Lopez or Sheriff Mike SEL's. You know, they have events.
I'm sure that may have been scheduled for that date
as well. Sheriff Rames floats that out. And that's another thing.
Chair Steve Reames is one of the most respected people
(06:09):
in the Colorado Republican Party statewide, not just in Weld County.
So it makes sense to me that once he extended
this offer, five of those candidate dates go yes, I'm there.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Immediately you guys, wait, Ryan and I were on the text, right,
it was immediate, idiot.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
So that's the thing, is like, why is your time
more valuable and you can't spare it? But you guys
go play amongst yourselves in the sandbox. We'll see maybe
I'll come down the line and participate in a debate
at some point.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That's a bad look. It's a bad look. I think
it's a really bad luck.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And it was. I just and I have been watching
and I've been watching the videos that people are sharing
on social media, and they're very well produced, you know,
they're they're very well packaged. But until I see and
hear from the guy myself, and it shouldn't be that
I have to say, well, I got to get him
on my radio show. I think every voter, and I
(06:57):
say this all the time, I think voters should go
see these people in person. Any opportunity you can, you
should go see them in person. And I could be
at a fundraiser, right because you will see, you will
get a feel for someone in ten minutes in person
that you cannot get from internet videos that are carefully
packaged or you know, other commercials that you might see.
(07:18):
So I feel like every opportunity for someone who is
well known in Olpaso County but not well known in Well.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
County, right, not at all?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well And further along those lines, when we saw let's
say Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, he was a known quantity,
so that part's different, but the part that would be
the same circumstances, he was a newcomer to politics, and
people like myself for like, does this guy really have
what it takes to get into the political arena and
affect the change that he's talking about? What are his
policy positions? Where did Donald Trump shine the most. Where
(07:48):
did he separate himself the most from those other candidates,
It was on the debate stage where he called Jeb
Bush low energy.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You're over there in the end of the stage. You're
pulling numbers have fallen through. You're a real tough guy, Jeb.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And that's how he kind of, like I said, separated
himself from the field. And you would think of Victor
Marx's campaign, we have to participate in a debate like that.
That's how we kind of get our foot in the
door and show these other establishment candidates who are you know,
political political muckety MUCKs that we can come into this arena.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That is that's exactly right. If you believe you're good
enough to be governor, you should believe to win the debate.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
One final thing, I know we got to wrap up here,
but props to a Rod. I'm not sure if he
did this intentionally or was just a spin of the wheel,
but he came into this segment with gimme shelter by
the rolling stones.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's my ring tone on my phone, and.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's because my last name, Schuling translates from Dutch to
shelter in English. And he nailed it with the song there.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Wow, that was a lot of TMI, right, There a
lot of stuff going on there about that. So do
you know how the top six were chosen? That is
a question I wanted to ask, and I forgot to
ask Steven. I popped into my head.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
What he told me, I think was just going on
whatever internal polling data was. You're comparing these among the candidates,
and you think they're going to be let's say, massage.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We're on the margins to make it look as good
for each candidate as possible.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
But I think with the numbers and the comparisons across
the tabs of each candidate, it became clear. I think
to the sheriff that there were six candidates in particular
that were higher in level of awareness or support, perhaps
in dollars earned. That'd be a question better for him.
I'll text them after this segment as a matter of fact,
or maybe you can as well.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But let's think that's how he came to this.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
For the record, I don't disagree that these are the
top six.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I want to be clear about that.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I think that these are the clear name I d
well recognized, you know, candidates for the GUP nomination and
I think they made the right choice.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, and again, if you had all six candidates participating,
this is going to be like a WWE battle. Royale
and Mandy and yours truly being the referees, It's gonna
be a lot of fun and it should be. And
you know, the candidates get in there and they mix
it up. This is what American politics is all about.
And it gives the people a chance to make up
their own minds, bet these candidates for themselves.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
And put them through the ring.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Because you know, darn well, Mandy and I cleaned up
my language just for you that whether it's Kyle Clark
at nine News or the rest of the industry media statewide,
or Michael Bennett, there is going to be a reckoning
for our Republican nominee. And I say that myself a Republican.
I know you may not be at this point, but
that you got to be able to prove your merit
(10:32):
and your metal in that kind of atmosphere and surroundings.
And I think the best candidate that have emerges for
that debate could get a leg up in the race.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Amen to that.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You can see Ryan and I there January tenth, I
put a link on the blog today at mandy'sblog dot
com to get your tickets, but get them soon. They
are actually selling very very quickly, and they are free.
Ryan Showling, good to see you man, Good to see you.
