Jon Caldara on media erasing Kamala as border czar; Should Dave Williams be removed as CO GOP chair

president soon to be our president, Kamala Kamalah. That's it. I always have a problem with Kamala, and I love that, you know, it was it was she's not she's not the immigrations are She's not the immigrations are She's not the immigration Why? I was that a wonderful, wonderful thing. Let me let me take a moment here and play for you a clip from Media Research Group did this.

They Media Research Center did this, and you'll hear what what they say about Kamala not being a immigrations are and then they go back to the exact same network before Biden dropped out to hear what they called what the liberals called Kamala I think you might enjoy this. Orders are respect quote unquote, borders are. Vice President Harris was not a borders are.

on Joe Biden. It was amazing to see that the same people who covered for him for three and a half years, as as a guy who was fit and ready to go and turned a blind eye onto everything you and I have been talking about for three and a half years. And then as soon as it's obvious the guy can't win, they go after him. And for years Kamala was the borders are. Let me just do a little bit more of this, just because it's it's so fun. Let me give you the the companies here,

borders are. Vice President has CBS News.

it really that bad? Anyway? How how delightful if you have a thought three or three seven to one, three eight two five five seven to one three talk and of course feel free to drop a text. She is on a roll. She is on a roll. Let me read this from Axios HM HM exclusive poll. Harris opens up early Edge with young voters. Here's the question, if the twenty twenty four election were held today, who would you vote for if the candidates were Joe Biden or

Donald Trump? And in that one it was it was fifty three to seventy four for Joe Biden.

keep that in mind. Hmm. Former President Trump appears to be chipping away at Democrats in decades long hold on the youth vote, but Harris could be extending that gap once again. That's that's odd. Forty five percent of young people say they have an extremely or somewhat favorable opinion of Harris because they're stupid. If you're not young in liberal, you have no heart. If you're not old and conservative,

you have no brain. So these young voters Gen Z millennial voters were key to Biden's victory in twenty twenty, they came out in huge numbers, favored him by twenty points for a Pew Research Center analysis. So it's not a surprise that this is going to be a big part of Harris's plan as well. But of course, as you know, there is no one election. There are fifty separate elections for delegates, and it's the states that choose

the president. So that's going to be the issue. And I'm not at all surprised by this honeymoon phase with our vice president. It was going to be the media was going to clear a field for her. No matter what, it will erode, there's no question it will erode. The difference between Hillary Clinton and Harris is just one of exposure. People hated Hillary Clinton because they knew her for so very long. She was the first Lady and people didn't like her. She senator and people didn't like her. She

became Secretary of State, people didn't like her. Why because she just has that personality that people don't like. And I know a lot of Republicans don't like hearing this, but it is the reality. People vote for candidates they like, not candidates that agree with them on policy. I don't understand that, but that's the way that is. We had so many years hearing Hillary's voice and watching her turn

off crowds. She was just a delightfully unlikable person. She is the opposite of her husband, who could go into pretty much any place and they would love him because he just knew how to charm people. By the way, our own Jared Polis has a lot of that too, as did Hickenlooper when he was in his prime. Corey Gardner on the Republican side also has it. These are likable people for swing voters, but we don't have that

much experience with Harris. Yeah, they know we're in California, but she hasn't been a national harp for that long. Clinton was a hard people just took a dislike to her. Harris has a cackle and a lot of people dislike her, but they haven't had years and years and years to get tired of her. That is my fear. Is it a worthy fear? Let me know? Three oh three seven, one three eight two five five And for Dan, I'm John Keldrek keep it right here six point thirty k how.

were a gaffer. I was not a gaffer. I don't really even know what a gaffer is.

for Colorado chair if the party ousts Dave Williams. A group of former former Republican county chairs led by Eli Bremer, launched a bid today to replace the GOP chairman, who is facing a vote this weekend to fire him from the party position. God, I hope. So what an embarrassment. No, to be fair, I don't have a dog in this fight. I am not a registered Republican was for most of my life. I am not now, So so what do

you think I got? A group of a group of people have now called for a special meeting to decide whether or not to oust to Stave Williams. My suspicion is they probably will be successful, at which case they've got to They've got to find someone to replace him.

So members of the State Party Central Committee plan to meet in a church in a church in Brighton this Saturday to consider whether or not to oust them and the other elected party officials that's Hope Shepplman and Anna Ferguson that's the vice chair and the secretary if they're unseated. The agenda then includes electing a replacement for those officers

to serve through this election. Wow. Dave Williams last week sued to block the meeting from being considered official party business, but the lawsuit has yet to be heard in court. State party officials have urged Republicans not to attend, calling the meeting illegal and fraudulent. Are we getting a little tired of that? Are we getting a little tired of it's a fraud. So apparently there's other people who are looking at running for the party chair in addition to

Eli Bremmer. Let's see former Weld County chair Scott Scott, James, Kevin McCarthy, Don Yittberg. These are the people who are who are running in different positions. Also, who are britt a horn fun lady is looking at that. This is this is good stuff. This is good stuff. It shows that even Republicans have had enough of this, enough of this. So I wonder if you're part of the Republican Central Committee, and I believe there's what like four hundred ish of them.

I believe, and I could be wrong, they need to get sixty percent of that of those folks to vote to oust him. And so Williams saying it's fraudulent, just don't go is a wonderful way to try to make sure there's not enough people there to get the vote across. If you were a Central Committee member, how would you vote on this? Three h three seven one three eight two five five Feel free to drop a text as well. Of course I'd vote to oust him. Not only is

he an embarrassment, he's he's misspending the funds. Is this a guy as republic kids are trying to build? Voters told people to burn the gay pride flag. What the this is the let's get out and lose big team? Keep it here here in six point thirty K how, I'm John Caldery.

a couple of years, maybul go Elvis, where's Elvis? Hey? Elvis? Yeah? Yeah. The problem is there are just not very many good boy names. There are tons of spectacular girl names, boy names, are they all? Yeah, let's name him Chad. No, there's just no good names out there for guys. That's why you gotta do something military and and macha like Dragon Gunner. Anybody wants to use that, feel free, come up and show me your baby called Dragon Gunner. I wouldn't.

not be right. I think the problems with the party are so deep that whether whether Dave Williams leaves now in disgrace or after the November races in disgrace, it it doesn't it doesn't really matter. I don't know, given that there's only eighty days. Let me say that again, eighty days until ballots start dropping in Colorado. Isn't that amazing? Would a new would a new administration be able to

do something in time that was meaningful? So Dave Williams took money that came to the Republican Party, used it for his own race, which might have helped if he only he won, but he didn't. And then the incredible purity test of being a Rhino and their Rhino watch. It's almost as if Republicans don't want to win in

Colorado because Republicans don't want to win. In Colorado. There's a real problem with reality in politics, and it's something I deal with all the time in my role as running the Independence Institute and taking a look at the political time temperature of the state. And I have found that Republicans are among the worst when it comes to denial. You know, there's five stages of grief, was it? Elizabeth Koopler Roth studied that, and the very first one is denial.

When you lose somebody, you deny that it happens before you can start to get angry about it, before you can start to bargain, before you end up finally having acceptance. The first one is denial. And I have found in my over three decades of political activism that Republicans in the state of Colorado, maybe not nationwide, but here in Colorado, in my area of the Woods, have raging with reality.

They really have raging disconnect with reality. Now, I think it's a good thing to have a spirited and effective fight about when Republicans act like Democrats. And in my mind, it's pretty simple. When you raise taxes, you're a Democrat and we should we should oust you. We don't need Republicans to grow government just a little more slowly than the folks on the left. But on other issues it's

usually been a wide tent that works. Why because we need the social conservatives and the fiscal conservatives and the libertarian leading Republicans and those people who are concerned about crime and those people who are concerned about society and all the rest to join together to beat a well

formed leftist team. But when you have nothing but purity test after purity test, and especially if that purity test is built on hero worship, that you have to you have to not only love Donald Trump, you have to agree with him that the election was stolen. And if you're not doing that, well, then you're just a rhino. I used to think that a rhino was someone who grew the size of government, and Republicans have many, many

of them, but that's changed. It's it's this odd thing that if you don't accept denying things, you won't be loved. You'll be put on the rhino watch list. Are you on the rhino watch list? John? I am? Yeah, it was. It was hysterical. Actually, not me personally. The Independence Institute, the organization that has brought us tabor and term limits and flat taxes and concealed carry permits and school choice and charter schools, and I can just keep going down

the rue. The organization that has fought for thirty years against tax increases is a rhino organization and on the Rhino watch list. Now, really, what that had to do with was Dave Williams hit me up for money for one of their lawsuits. That they wanted us to put money into one of their failing lawsuits. I basically said, no, that's not our mission and I'm not spending our donors'

money doing that. And the next week, surprise, the Independent Institute was a rhino organization, the which is just laughable. So you're looking at these these people who have been good conservatives. I look at our friend Christy Burton Brown and why you and I might have policy differences. This is not a woman I would call a rhino. A woman who several times tried to put a personhood amendment

and get it through, get it through to vote. She's the one who spearheaded a late term abortion and she's a rhino. It makes it really makes you wonder. So the party is out of touch and watching it burn down to the ground is sad. But I think it has to happen. There is no way the conservative movement politically is going to get any better until you clean up the system. So whether he goes now or whether he goes later, I don't think it matters a lot. This is going to be This is going to be

a horrific election for Republicans in Colorado. Keep in mind, you've got both Donald Trump, well hated by swing voters, and abortion beloved by swing voters, on the ballot this year. That is, you have the presidential ballot, but there's also an initiative to put protecting abortion rights into the state constitution. This is not going to be pretty. Who knows, maybe Republicans could win back a seat or two. That would

be a step in the right direction. They should be able to pick up the seat up in Weld County that's held by Kevin Priola, who turned Democrat and out of step. That should be a very easy pickup. But we'll see about the other ones. If you're going to this special meeting that's been called that Dave Williams says is illegal and fraudulent, how would you vote? And if and when they vote to you're no longer the party chairman.

What happens when he doesn't accept the vote? When he pulls his own Donald Trump, He's already saying that this meeting that has been brought, the special meeting that has been brought by members of the Central Committee, which apparently they can do by the bylaws, is he doesn't recognize it, and he doesn't recognize it. He's not going to recognize them yanking him from office. Then what happens? Do you then have a shadow Republican Party? How does that work?

If you have an answer, I'd really love to know. Three h three seven three eight two five five What happens? Should they oust Dave Williams? And he goes, yeah, that doesn't matter because the vote was fraudulent, and therefore I'm still the guy. I am not giving you the keys to the car. I'm not giving you the codes to the bank account. I'm not giving you our checkbook. You know, come and take it. Then what happens three three seven one three eight two five five I'm John Kel Derek,

keep it right here? Six point thirty k how.

a real meeting. Who decides it probably goes to a court hearing. If it goes to a court hearing, it's gonna take longer than what it's going to take to get a new election anyway. So the proof of the put in is how many Republicans win. That's that's what the Republican partners to do. Traditionally they would run primaries and those primaries winners would then be get a lot of help from from the Republican Party. Now the Republican

Party is playing in the primaries stealing money. I guess you couldn't say it's stealing because they got it, taking money and playing favorites in the primary.

refusing to leave that. She's like, no, you can't just ouse me.

many states, most states, I don't think do that. But this is a way to get all these guys to you know, Haley gives you this, and Ramaswami gives you fifty to forty grand, and everybody gives you forty grand. Before you know it, you got hundreds of thousands of dollars. And it's not fundraising. It's just a shakedown.

leave office after he's kicked out, what should happen? I'm John Caldera three oh three seven one three eight two five five seven one three tough, keep it right here. You're on six point thirty. K out
