Scott Bottoms

Colorado State Representative

Jun 23, 2026

6:48
But what's it going to take, Scott, to turn this state around, man?
6:56
Well, I'll tell you the biggest thing we have to go after immediately is it's all the same subject, but it's kind of two or three things wrapped together.
7:05
We've got to go back to the Constitution.
7:07
We are not going by the Constitution right now.
7:12
And we pass so many laws that are not constitutional.
7:16
And I've constantly gone down to the well in the Capitol and read the Constitution and said, you can't pass this.
7:23
And the Democrats have said multiple times that we'll pass the bills you sue us, which means they don't care about the rule of law.

19:30
minute, literally.
29:43
It's all out there for you to see now.
29:46
Yeah, if I had a few hours to explain all this to you, all of the things going on in our state, we're the most pedophile-friendly state, we're the most human trafficking-friendly state.
30:01
We have many registered socialists sitting on the House of Representatives.
30:05
Right.
30:06
You would be surprised at the stories I could tell you of legislation that has been passed, legislation that has gone through that are protecting pedophiles, protecting these people.
30:16
We truly are an evil state.
30:19
And I can I can point out people to you that are sitting in elected offices around our state and all the way up into the governor's office that these people are evil.

38:30
So what's your solutions? If you become governor, what are you going to do?
33:25
It's all out there for you to see now.
33:28
Yeah.
33:28
If I had if I had a few hours to explain all this to you, all of the things going on in our state, the we're the most pedophile friendly state, we're the most human trafficking friendly state.
33:41
We have we have many registered socialists sitting on.
33:46
Bless you.
33:48
I think you're so sorry.
33:50
God bless you.
37:55
So what's your solutions? If you become governor, what are you going to do?

Tom HessCORRESPONDENT
1:29
So let's make sure we touch on how that's going to happen.
1:32
The first thing that I think that is the talking point that people seem to use for education is school choice and then money follows the child.
1:42
And I'm very strong school choice, but I'm not as strong about money.
1:46
money following the child.
1:47
The reason is because state constitution says that wherever state money goes, the state is in authority over and control over.
1:55
And so I don't like that.
1:56
Specifically, the homeschooling groups and some private school groups have said that's not acceptable to them.

Tom Hess
Tom HessCORRESPONDENT
16:25
What do you think needs to be done at every aspect of artificial intelligence from its regulation or not of use in the state to data centers? What would you like to see happen or not happen with artificial intelligence?
Tom Hess
Tom HessCORRESPONDENT
1:55
And bold ideas tend to take money and resources, so let's make sure we touch on how that's gonna happen.
2:02
The first thing that I think that, uh, is the, the talking point that people seem to use for education is, uh, school choice and then money follows the child.
2:11
And I'm very strong school choice, but I'm not as strong about, um, money following the child.
2:17
The reason is because state constitution says that wherever state money goes, the state is in authority over and control over, and so I don't like that.
2:26
Specifically, the homeschooling groups and some private school groups have said that's not acceptable to them, and I agree.
2:33
But, uh, my plan is to give a tax refund rebate, um, and that's, that's a, um, fairly big subject because it deals with property taxes, which I also believe need to be completely eliminated.
2:46
And so we're gonna have to restructure a lot of the tax, uh, code, a lot of tax structure, how it works in the state of Colorado.

17:46
What do you think needs to be done a- at every aspect of artificial intelligence, from its regulation or not of use in the state to data centers? What would you like to see happen or not happen with artificial intelligence?
Weston HancockSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
26:07
What would be your solution to solve that and your solution to having phones in schools, which become a distraction for learning?
26:14
Mr.
26:14
Bottoms, Weston's question goes to you first.
26:17
Yeah, that is, I think that's one of the bigger questions for the school and the students in school right now.
26:23
I actually ran a bill this last session, but the Democrats have an agreement that if I run a bill and my name's on it, they won't pass it.
26:30
It doesn't matter whether it's good.
26:32
And I had Democrats coming to me and saying this was a good bill, but they couldn't pass it because my name was on it.

13 MINS LATER

Susan LauscherSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
39:23
Do you believe that Colorado's election system is safe and secure? And would you like to see any changes made?
26:37
Do you stand by your claim, and will you finally present your evidence tonight?
26:42
Yeah, this is the first half of your question, uh, the 45,000.
26:46
So I, I actually went back, 'cause I, I was told that by two ICE agents.
26:50
So I went back and I talked to federal authorities, actually this week, federal officers, and they said I got that wrong.
26:57
That, that what they said was actually happening is 45,000 Venezuelans came directly to, um, to Denver and then, uh, applied for asylum.
27:08
And they said there's probably 60 or 70,000 Venezuelans, not cartel, but just Venezuelans.
27:13
And I said, "Okay, so I'm gonna have to go on Kyle Clark's show and, uh, say that differently." And they said, "But the, we do know there's a few thousand cartel in the state of Colorado." Um, that is, I got that one wrong.

9 MINS LATER

36:24
Do you also believe that Colorado's governor, attorney general, and secretary of state should be arrested, tried, and hanged? And do you also believe that they are Synagogue of Satan Jews?
