Thanks to FReeper, libertarian27, posting this thread yesterday...
Sheriff David Clarke and John Voight Rally for Trump NV (Live feed)
...I was reminded that when I briefly turned on 710 KNUS the other day, I had heard a commercial that Larry Elder, Jon Voight, and Sheriff David Clarke were supposed to be doing an event here in Denver somewhere and sometime soon. I had totally forgotten that was going on, and didn’t even know the date for it. It turns out the events in Reno, NV and Aurora, CO were both yesterday!
I quickly did all my afternoon chauffeuring...picking up my daughter from school, oldest son to his after school job, and daughter to dance lessons. Then I got home, got online, and got tickets for the event. I rounded up my #2 son and my mom and off we went.
The event was at the new Hyatt Regency just across from the big University of Colorado Hospital complex...this used to be Fitzsimons Army Medical Center for anyone familiar with the area. And the hotel is only two miles from my home so it made actually getting there so much easier yesterday. And as a side note, the hotel is also directly across from the HUGELY overrun, billion+++ dollars VA Hospital project (Investigators find ‘gross mismanagement’ tripled cost of Aurora VA Hospital, September 21, 2016) that has been going on for YEARS.
Anyway, the event had a sizable crowd. I’m really bad at estimating crowd numbers, but I’m thinking 2,000 give or take. Don’t quote me on that.
First up were the local people...politicians like Congressman Ken Buck. And Casper Stockham, who is running against entrenched leftist Congress critter Diana Degette. Degette was passed the baton years ago by the very annoying Democrat congresswoman Patsy Schroeder if any of you care to remember that person from years ago.
Then some of the local talk show hosts and personalities got on stage from 710...including long-time Denver radio man, Steve Kelley...
...and another institution of Denver radio and good buddy to Tom Tancredo, Peter Boyles...
National talk show host, Larry Elder, was up next. He talked about his dad and how destructive Democrats have been to the black community.
National talk show host, Dennis Prager, did a live feed and spoke about the destruction of Americanism.
Jon Voight’s jet was late getting in, but he finally got there all the way from Reno! Boyles introduced him and first got him going off on tangents about his movies including Midnight Cowboy, Deliverance, and Anaconda. Voight was hilarious. But he was also serious when he spoke about the danger our country is in from the left.
Jon Voight (below) talking about the writer of Deliverance, James Dickey. I laughed so much at the voices he could do and the personalities he could take on. I don’t know if the people keeping things flowing were happy about the longish tangents, but I was more than happy to hear some comic relief!
Last up, was the great Sheriff David Clarke. Sheriff Clarke isn’t known for his comic relief, that’s for sure, but he spoke totally off the top of his head, and he spoke passionately and urgently. He spoke of the seriousness of what we are up against, and how we have the right and duty to fight against it. He said he doesn’t want people to get discouraged even though he admits that even he sometimes has moments of it, but he urged people to encourage the fence straddlers to get out there and do the right thing. He has NO patience for the #NeverTrumpers.
He said his own dad made a comment that he wasn’t going to vote for anyone, but Sheriff Clarke STRONGLY encouraged his dad to reconsider, and his dad did! He said his dad is not exactly a pushover being an Airborne Ranger out of the Korean War, but he voted for president. He voted for Trump.
I think we all have one person that we can remind to vote, and remind them of the seriousness of what this election means. I don’t know much about Sheriff Clarke other than the snippets of video I have seen of him on FR and other outlets, but I respected him even before I saw him live. After seeing him in person, it has made me respect him even more. When the poo-poo hits the fan, he’s one you want on your side. And he’s loyal as heck.
And lastly, my mom and I hung around after the event. Sheriff Clarke and Jon Voight and a few other people went into a side room with some of the Aurora LEOs that were there policing the event. Sheriff Clarke, and presumably Jon Voight, wanted to speak to them personally. They spent quite a bit of time in there. When they did come out, I was too nervous to approach Sheriff Clarke, but with Jon Voight, I ignored my nervousness, spoke up, and I got a picture of him and my mom.
My mom is from England, and when she was a young girl/teen in the 1940s and 50s, she thought all of the United States was Hollywood. She thought there was a “star” on every corner. Well, she got over here in 1959 as a young woman and mother, so it has taken her nearly 60 years, but she finally got to meet her first celebrity! And she has been and is a fan of Mr. Voight’s so he was a GREAT first.
Jon Voight and my mom
Thanks to the Great America PAC and 710 KNUS for sponsoring the event. It was a lot of fun.
Ping...
Great report! Voight and Clarke are awesome.
Thanks. Enjoyed the event a lot.
Thank You So Much for posting Beaversmom!
I saw the event on Facebook! :D
Great report, beaversmom! Am so glad you got to attend this event and that your mom and you got to meet Jon Voight. Sounda like a really great time.

Good report.
The Trump team is going all out. They have everyone on board and covering as many states as possible. I heard that even Sarah Palin is out campaigning for Trump.
That’s excellent!
Glad you went and had a great time!
MAGA
Thanks...I’m so happy I ran across your thread; otherwise, I would have missed the event in Aurora.
Thank you for the great, insightful report, beaversmom! That’s something you’ll never forget and am so glad your Mom had such a great time, too.
Thank you, lp. It made for a really great way to spend the night.
Was Tom Tancredo there?
No...no Tancredo. :(
I think Boyles said he was pheasant hunting in Iowa.
:)
I wish all FReepers could have gone. Everyone would have loved it. It wasn’t rip-roaring and super polished in spots, but it just makes one feel good to be around people of a like mind. And Prager, Elder, Voight and Clarke were excellent with their talks.
Imagine Clarke going after the Clintonistas.
Hecky darn. If I’d heard about it, I’d have gone.
Thank you for the great report. Yes, it is easy to think that a movie star is walking on every sidewalk in Hollywood. If a person wishes to meet one movie star a day, then it is very possible. All you need to know is a few tricks. Visit senior homes and trendy clubs. Or work at the Mercedes Benz dealership in Studio City.
If discouraged, then pray again to St. Jude. He was recruited by the Lord to encourage the Oct. 29 Comey announcement. More prayers are needed for the loyal FBI who do not want to work for Clinton ever again.
“..... it just makes one feel good to be around people of a like mind”.
Exactly!
