Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis, and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Pretty obviously, the
Speaker 1: American way is at stake here, right The good news
Speaker 1: is Trump is president. Better news the American people are
Speaker 1: behind Donald Trump on this. And we're in one of
Speaker 1: those watershed moments right now where things are going to
Speaker 1: break America's way and against the left and against this
Speaker 1: craziness and against this insurrection, against all the insurrectionists. And
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about legally prosecutable though that's an interesting question.
Speaker 1: But obviously Mike Johnston has been talking all this crazy
Speaker 1: insurrection talk here in Denver. It's what the left is
Speaker 1: doing across the country. Double middle finger to the federal government.
Speaker 1: If we don't like a federal law, we're not going
Speaker 1: to enforce it, particularly immigration. So now in Colorado, Colorado
Speaker 1: elections across the country, the choice between a Democrat and
Speaker 1: publican is the choice between insurrection or obeying the law,
Speaker 1: a choice between enforcing immigration law or not enforcing immigration law.
Speaker 1: It's that's simple. Three all three se one three A
Speaker 1: two five five the number if you want to savor this,
Speaker 1: which is aged pretty badly for the mayor.
Speaker 2: Denver Mayor Mike Johnson is walking back his comments suggesting
Speaker 2: Denver police would somehow try to stop a mass deportation.
Speaker 1: By federal forces.
Speaker 2: Yet the mayor says he expects the people of Denver
Speaker 2: would resist, and he says he would too, even if
Speaker 2: it means going to jail.
Speaker 1: Yeah. See that that is what they truly believe. That's
Speaker 1: what they intend, and that's what they've been doing. You
Speaker 1: look at all the different ways that they have been
Speaker 1: taking the power the people give them in order to
Speaker 1: block federal enforcement of immigration law. And America has flipped
Speaker 1: on that. America has changed dramatically, and the Dems they
Speaker 1: got a big problem. Jay and Parker, you're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla show. Welcome you, Dan.
Speaker 3: I donated one thousand dollars to the Trump campaign and
Speaker 3: now I really regret it. All this stuff should be
Speaker 3: handled at the border. You were going as you're going
Speaker 3: to see the price of labor in this country go
Speaker 3: through the roof, which is going to lead to inflation,
Speaker 3: higher interest rates, and a major recession. They should all
Speaker 3: be handled at the border. We don't need police squads
Speaker 3: going around taking people from washing dishes at Applebee's or
Speaker 3: somewhere and kicking them out of the country. We have
Speaker 3: given these people EI in numbers, employment identification numbers. We've
Speaker 3: given them driver's licenses. These people have set up businesses,
Speaker 3: have families. We gave them the facto permission to be
Speaker 3: in this country.
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, yeah, I just love listening to
Speaker 1: you talk. But where's the axcent.
Speaker 4: From the accents from Brooklyn.
Speaker 3: I've been out here no long time.
Speaker 1: Don't love it, love it. But in in terms of
Speaker 1: handling it at the border, well, Trump's doing that right,
Speaker 1: and nobody's ever done a better job than he's done
Speaker 1: central election day. So we agree on that. And so
Speaker 1: you're you're talking about all the people already here, because
Speaker 1: you're right, both both parties, to various extents, Democrats far
Speaker 1: worse than Republicans, have facilitated people coming into this country
Speaker 1: and getting set up and working, you know, illegally, You're
Speaker 1: right about all that. Now, it seems your major concern
Speaker 1: is whether the Trump administration is going to go in
Speaker 1: and now seek out and deport the kind of folks
Speaker 1: you described who have set up here, they're working here,
Speaker 1: they're otherwise law abiding. That seems to be your main concern, right,
Speaker 1: and yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the disruption to the labor supply, Yeah, and
Speaker 3: relatively cheap labor.
Speaker 1: Now, now let me ask you on that point, Jay,
Speaker 1: are you referring to taking folks who've been here, working
Speaker 1: and otherwise baying the law? Is that the disruption of
Speaker 1: the labor supply or are you also lumping in with
Speaker 1: that closing the border down, which Trump has done very successfully?
Speaker 1: Do you think he should leave it over the book?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. The border should be impenetrable, including the overseas
Speaker 3: embassy's consults where forty percent of illegals come from through
Speaker 3: the airports. Yeah, on corrupt visa programs. But anyway, and
Speaker 3: that guy in the Egyptian guy from the Springs who
Speaker 3: want us to bould of knowing, asked how he got
Speaker 3: that tormas lee right, what kind of documents were presented?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: I know this corruption, that's the Cairo embassy.
Speaker 1: And what did Colorado do when he tried to get
Speaker 1: that weapon? But Jay, okay, so it seems like your
Speaker 1: big concern that including the labor pool. Is is if
Speaker 1: President Trump now extends the deportations to folks otherwise living
Speaker 1: here in a law abiding way, just trying to work, right,
Speaker 1: that's your big concern.
Speaker 3: And Reagan gave them amnesty. That's what President Reagan, right,
Speaker 3: So there's some reason Megan never built the walls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there couldn't be any There couldn't be any
Speaker 1: action against those folks. First of all, Jay, we'll watch
Speaker 1: it unfold together. I don't think President Trump intends at
Speaker 1: all to extend deportation to folks who've been here a
Speaker 1: long time, not committing any other crimes working. I think
Speaker 1: he'll set up some kind of framework. It won't be
Speaker 1: easy where they can get some kind of legal status.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be short of citizenship, but some kind
Speaker 1: of legal status. So we'll watch it together. But the
Speaker 1: other thing, my friend, is you need to have your
Speaker 1: own radio show. You would listen to that show, wouldn't you?
Speaker 1: Ryan the Jay Show? What would your name? Jay's show? Hey,
Speaker 1: I think people would listen to it just for the accent.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 1: But he also talks well yeah, I mean I listen.
Speaker 5: I get his point.
Speaker 6: But we can't just give de facto anaesty the way
Speaker 6: that Jay's talking, which Ronald Reagan that was probably the
Speaker 6: biggest mistake of his presidency.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, and that's not going to happen under a
Speaker 1: Trump or Vance or Rubio or whomever, Scott Jennings presidency.
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. I think what we are
Speaker 1: going to see. What we are going to see is
Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot of great things happen.
Speaker 1: We're going to see Trump standing up for federal immigration
Speaker 1: law and the supremacy of that and enforcing it in
Speaker 1: LA and across the country. And in some cases it'll
Speaker 1: be very visible like that. In other cases like Colorado,
Speaker 1: it'll be through the courts, it'll be through funding, etc.
Speaker 1: We're going to see that. And then I think we're
Speaker 1: going to see this sustained effort to identify and root
Speaker 1: out and deport people who have come here illegally and
Speaker 1: then committed other crimes. And that needs to never end.
Speaker 1: That needs to be a sustained twenty four to seven
Speaker 1: effort for the rest of America's existence. This nation cannot
Speaker 1: morally justify one human being harmed by one person here
Speaker 1: illegally who we know has already committed other crimes. So
Speaker 1: you're going to see that. You're going to see a
Speaker 1: lot of other things. I do not think we're going
Speaker 1: to see President Trump or Vance or or anybody else
Speaker 1: extended to the point where they're now deporting folks who've
Speaker 1: been here a while illegally, have not been violating any
Speaker 1: other loss. I think they're going to set up a
Speaker 1: legal process that does not allow them to become citizens,
Speaker 1: but allows them to stay as long as they're good citizens.
Speaker 1: Well I shouldn't say citizen, it won't be a citizenship,
Speaker 1: but as long as they don't violate other laws, et cetera.
Speaker 1: So love your reaction to that. I'm not expecting many
Speaker 1: folks to like that. I just think that's that last
Speaker 1: part is the reality of where it's headed. But in
Speaker 1: the meantime, you know these things Trump is doing now
Speaker 1: to show strength, and we're going to enforce federal law.
Speaker 1: I think America is cheering. We're going back to Dean
Speaker 1: and Arvada. Thank you, Dean, floor remains yours. Oh okay, Dan,
Speaker 1: I thought I was like, well, I guess I got
Speaker 1: caught up. No, no, no, I'm sorry, I just forgot
Speaker 1: that got caught up in.
Speaker 4: The moment, Oh you're good, Yeah, no, no worries.
Speaker 1: I was like, why are they a Los Angeles police
Speaker 1: not allowed to defend themselves against.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeahs like you've got your hands, fight behind
Speaker 4: your back.
Speaker 1: And what it does is it encourages more riot.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna do.
Speaker 1: Any more cars. Yes, Dean, you're one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 1: I mean, in fact, the break we were in after
Speaker 1: you started your call, I was watching video in LA
Speaker 1: of people dropping these bricks on top of police cars,
Speaker 1: jumping up on police cars and smashing them. And I
Speaker 1: was thinking, in Chicago, in Chicago where I grew up,
Speaker 1: anybody tried anything like that. And I'm not suggesting any
Speaker 1: kind of excessive force. I'm talking about appropriate force. In fact,
Speaker 1: let me play this hit from Trump when when they
Speaker 1: when they spit, we hit, says the president.
Speaker 5: Er protests run.
Speaker 4: Into other cities of Chicago, New York for example.
Speaker 2: You be watching the Enjoyed lastly the when they spit
Speaker 2: that people, you know they spit.
Speaker 5: That's a new thing, that that work. You know what
Speaker 5: they throw at them?
Speaker 1: Right, and when that happens, I have already taked.
Speaker 7: They say they.
Speaker 1: We hit. Yeah, see that that now it's not quite
Speaker 1: Dick Daily back in Chicago when he said they were
Speaker 1: going to shoot to kill looters, but but they spit,
Speaker 1: we hit. Our police officers should not have to be
Speaker 1: subjected to people spitting on them, for example. And Dean,
Speaker 1: you had mentioned my dad Chicago police thirty years great man,
Speaker 1: great cop, but he was positioned outside the Comera at
Speaker 1: Hilton during the sixty eight riots Democratic Convention riots. He
Speaker 1: was in a dangerous spot following the riots, after the
Speaker 1: murder of doctor King, and the stuff they're subjected to
Speaker 1: out there. They just shouldn't have to be no excessive force,
Speaker 1: but but they should not have to sit there and
Speaker 1: take physical abuse.
Speaker 4: I agree. Thanks for the calling.
Speaker 1: Hey, Dean, man appreciate that. Three or three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five Text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. Hey let me come back. Some people
Speaker 1: are talking about something that supposed to happen in Denver tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Have you heard anything about.
Speaker 5: That, Ryan, Yeah, there's some rumblings, rumblings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see if it does this text or Dan,
Speaker 1: do you think our governor will hide during tomorrow's la
Speaker 1: to Denver ice out protest at the state Capitol. Did
Speaker 1: you notice the protests weren't start until five thirty pm.
Speaker 1: Can't have a protest it starts and ends in the daytime, though,
Speaker 1: doesn't it stay light now till about nine eight thirty nine.
Speaker 1: We're getting to the summer solstice, so maybe they miscalculated
Speaker 1: there down at Anarchy headquarters. But this we know, and
Speaker 1: it's fascinating to those new to the area. We have
Speaker 1: a governor who actually ran and hid like four days
Speaker 1: when the mob took over downtown Denver following the death
Speaker 1: of George Floyd. So I don't know, maybe he will again.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Campla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 7: Well, television news is where anything can happen. We know that,
Speaker 7: but this American newsreader and her reporter have taken the
Speaker 7: job to new hearts. I must warn you the scenes
Speaker 7: and this report are emotional.
Speaker 5: Really sure that I've been blessed.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have the greatest parents in the world,
Speaker 1: have a fun job, more stuff than I have. But
Speaker 1: I have to take a year ago that was really
Speaker 1: kind of a crater. I was like, as again, where
Speaker 1: did you find last year has been the best year
Speaker 1: of my life, and I I just want to propose
Speaker 1: to you something list token of that? Wow, where did
Speaker 1: you mind? I've never done this before, but I'd like
Speaker 1: to ask you if you'd marry me. I would love
Speaker 1: to marry you.
Speaker 4: I'm lucky.
Speaker 7: This is true, this is absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 1: Thank you. So I have television US waders proposed. We've
Speaker 1: been working together a listing. Yeah, let's tell my witnesses.
Speaker 1: But at eleven o'clock to n Pullwood, we'll be back.
Speaker 2: With n X mind well, it can followed by sports
Speaker 2: tonight tonight with.
Speaker 6: I had to find that on Australian television Dan, which
Speaker 6: they Wow. They highlighted your marriage proposal, which is the
Speaker 6: gutsiest move ever done on live television.
Speaker 1: It worked, it did bottom line business.
Speaker 6: My friend stuck the landing, but it made it halfway
Speaker 6: across the world.
Speaker 5: Wow, onto Australian news boy.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you it. If if we had a
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars webcam, you could see the hair in
Speaker 1: my arm standing up. I have not heard that since
Speaker 1: I proposed, really never watched it. It was just too powerful.
Speaker 8: It was too too powerful back here literally dying Wow.
Speaker 1: We wanted to play that. Wow, you know, but I
Speaker 1: was serious when I said, I want to take my
Speaker 1: headphones off because it's it was just it was such
Speaker 1: a powerful deal. Never watched it, never heard it, and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, wow, well thanks sir. Right, that's wild.
Speaker 6: I was just impressed going back and listening to it.
Speaker 6: Now this is nineteen ninety three, thirty two years ago.
Speaker 6: That man, there's two things. You kept your composure. You
Speaker 6: didn't stumble over your words.
Speaker 1: And she said yes, but I have to imagine.
Speaker 5: She did, and she called it bizarre.
Speaker 1: I was understatement.
Speaker 6: But I mean, I've heard you recount the story so
Speaker 6: many times. But what I'm I'm trying to put myself
Speaker 6: in your shoes at that moment, the pressure that you
Speaker 6: had to be in a fog, Right, it was like
Speaker 6: a blur to you in that moment.
Speaker 5: Or was there like a moment of clarity?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the opposite. Well, it was just one
Speaker 1: of those moments of like total clarity because as I'd
Speaker 1: been coming in this station, there were only was there
Speaker 1: one person who knew it was going to happen or two.
Speaker 1: I'd asked Roger Ogden, who was the president of the
Speaker 1: station group, really big time guy, big time with NBC.
Speaker 1: I asked him for permission to do it, and he
Speaker 1: had agreed, and then I think I had asked Bill
Speaker 1: Stewart because it was his you know, he and Amy
Speaker 1: co anchored that show. But anyway, as I'm walking into
Speaker 1: the studio Channel four, Roger comes running down the hallway saying, no,
Speaker 1: don't do it. I've changed my mind. I mean literally
Speaker 1: as I'm opening the door to the studio, and I
Speaker 1: just turned and looked at him and said, too late, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Too late. You were already pot committed to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, totally committed. And thank god she said yes,
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you, man, there would have been nowhere
Speaker 1: to hide had she said no, nowhere to hide, because
Speaker 1: it was it was truly worldwide. It was worldwide, and
Speaker 1: the stuff people sent us from every corner of the
Speaker 1: globe because back then, you know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: there was even internet that not really Yeah, so no,
Speaker 1: back then, it yeah, it really stood out. So it
Speaker 1: was so cool all the stuff, and Amy saved a
Speaker 1: bunch of it that we got from all over the world.
Speaker 1: But if she had said no, I mean, what like
Speaker 1: plastic surgery, name change, I don't know. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's anywhere I could have gone.
Speaker 6: No, no oj no. L Cowling's Ford Brown for you,
Speaker 6: my friend.
Speaker 1: Everywhere you would have gone anywhere in the world, it
Speaker 1: would have been point laugh.
Speaker 6: I'm wondering how many in our audience, there are a
Speaker 6: lot of loyal, longtime listeners of yours just happened to
Speaker 6: be watching that night because there would have been no warning.
Speaker 1: It's not promoted, I said, Matt spot God rest his soul.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm going to watch the news, and that happened.
Speaker 5: People saw it. Iber how many people remember that.
Speaker 1: It's it used to be at least every week somebody
Speaker 1: would say it. Now somebody said it last week, like,
Speaker 1: hey man, I was watching when that happened. You know,
Speaker 1: somebody said it over the weekend. Because I think it
Speaker 1: stood out not typical, not expected. I mean, like I
Speaker 1: told you, I think we had never talked about marriage.
Speaker 1: The word had never been spoken, never, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: I just truly think God, she said yeah, but for
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons, thirty one years worth of reasons
Speaker 1: as yep, yeah, before Local. Well, I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: if we were NBC then, I'm trying to remember. It's
Speaker 1: hard to keep those years straight. We might have been
Speaker 1: NBC at that time. But but yeah, no, And I
Speaker 1: remember she gave me this look. It didn't show up
Speaker 1: on camera, but right in the middle of it, she
Speaker 1: gave me this look like have you lost your mind?
Speaker 1: But she because again we had not talked marriage, not
Speaker 1: talk marriage.
Speaker 6: But I would have assumed it would at least come
Speaker 6: up a little like, Hey, could you imagine us, you know,
Speaker 6: doing that?
Speaker 1: No, I mean the way I can tell you the
Speaker 1: word had never been spoken.
Speaker 4: You know that.
Speaker 1: The only thing that would have been close to that
Speaker 1: was one conversation because I lived in Boulder at the
Speaker 1: time and just loved it, and one conversation once about
Speaker 1: could you ever see yourself living in bald.
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: But U But no, we had never talked marriage, so
Speaker 1: it was meant to be right if she could handle
Speaker 1: that moment so well, because she did. I mean, think
Speaker 1: about processing that. Zero reason to think there's a marriage
Speaker 1: proposal coming at all, let alone during the five o'clock news,
Speaker 1: And she was so calm, she processed it all. She
Speaker 1: handled it great way.
Speaker 5: You just said that.
Speaker 6: I'm so glad you didn't handle that like ron Berg
Speaker 6: and go Amy. I have some breaking news that I'd
Speaker 6: like to share with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, uh, maybe when we knew our vows,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll have to maybe we'll have to go back
Speaker 1: on Channel four. Were yeah, but thank you. I can't
Speaker 1: believe you found that. I've never heard it, never heard it.
Speaker 1: That is good work. Wow. Wow, hard to believe because
Speaker 1: that proposal was about a year before we got married,
Speaker 1: coming up on thirty one years. And truly, I know
Speaker 1: it's a cliche, but the time has literally flown. I
Speaker 1: just can't believe it's been so long. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this right now, bring in the polygraph, the stack
Speaker 1: of bibles. We tend to do those two together. She's
Speaker 1: even more beautiful now, even sexier. And I probably should
Speaker 1: have said that. You're on the Dan Caplish.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplish Show podcast.
Speaker 1: My brain still scrambled after Ryan found that video my
Speaker 1: proposal to my wife. Have never heard it. I have
Speaker 1: never seen it since the day I've proposed, and thirty
Speaker 1: two years ago. Well texters rolling in on that. Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 1: Correction on my previous text, Amy Ai m ee, that's right,
Speaker 1: that's your spelling. My apologies. By the way, where is
Speaker 1: Bill Stewart? Now? That from Andy? If you're new to
Speaker 1: the area. Bill Stuart, tremendous news anchor, great human now
Speaker 1: down I'm not sure he'd want me to give his
Speaker 1: actual location, but he's living the life down south and
Speaker 1: living a great life. He was always he and Larry
Speaker 1: big fisherman, and Bill is catching a lot of fish. Dan,
Speaker 1: I remember it, well, your new identity would have been
Speaker 1: stan Hapless that from Alexa. She says it was still
Speaker 1: NBC in nineteen ninety three, changed to CBS in ninety five.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that, Alexa, you recall that correctly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's wild. Yeah, And I don't think my new identity
Speaker 1: would have been that kind to me. I think my
Speaker 1: new identity would have been total banishment from any civilized society.
Speaker 1: Twenty four to seven, ridicule, Dan, I still recall it wonderful,
Speaker 1: many exclamation points that from Donna. Thank you, Donna, And
Speaker 1: it was it was wonderful and it was positive and
Speaker 1: it was it was just something completely positive. And thank
Speaker 1: you for that. And probably helps that we've stayed together
Speaker 1: thirty thirty one years. Right. Yeah, Well, that's the other thing.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that guy who proposes on
Speaker 1: air and then you know, six months later there's something
Speaker 1: in the gospel saying.
Speaker 6: Like one, yeah, she had to say yes, obviously given
Speaker 6: but the fact that all these years later it has
Speaker 6: sustained that spiking Oh yeah, right there, bro, Bro, she.
Speaker 1: Did not have to say yes. It's kind of you
Speaker 1: to say that, but but I mean, for your sake,
Speaker 1: for my sake. But listen, I truly believe I'll ask
Speaker 1: her when I get home. But I truly believe that,
Speaker 1: even though she's such a good hearted person, it was
Speaker 1: not an act of mercy. This wasn't kind of a mercy. Yes,
Speaker 1: I really believe, having been there, that she did want
Speaker 1: to get married. We had just never discussed marriage.
Speaker 6: Was there a way I'm just kind of thinking out
Speaker 6: loud here, for she wasn't ready in that moment, but she.
Speaker 5: Didn't want to say no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: That she could have punted and said we'll talk about
Speaker 6: this later.
Speaker 1: There had been one second's hesitation, like a pause for
Speaker 1: dramatic effect. I'm done, I'm toast. First of all, I
Speaker 1: probably would have just my heart would have stopped beating, right,
Speaker 1: I just would have been a carcass on the set.
Speaker 1: But no, there was no hesitation right into it, and
Speaker 1: anything less than that and I'm destroyed.
Speaker 4: But no, I.
Speaker 1: Really do think she meant it when she said yes.
Speaker 1: And thank god, it's been a great thirty one years.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Dan always loved your marriage proposal. It is
Speaker 1: out on the internet. Alexa. Thank you for that, Alexa. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it was all positive. It worked, It launched a great
Speaker 1: thirty one years. Hopefully it'll be sixty one years before
Speaker 1: we're done. Let's go to Becky in Evans, and it
Speaker 1: spawned a lot of copycats. There were then a bunch
Speaker 1: of on air proposals. Becky, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: Hi. I have to say I met your wife once
Speaker 4: before it when I was a toll booth attendance on
Speaker 4: E four seventy. Yeah, and you are absolutely right. She
Speaker 4: has a heart of gold.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you for she really does.
Speaker 4: She was just even as a person who just sat
Speaker 4: there taking money, she was so kind and giving and
Speaker 4: just yeah, I'll pay so long dur night.
Speaker 1: But that is who she is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. And now I was really calling about
Speaker 4: I just wanted to remark about mister Brooklyn. I couldn't
Speaker 4: remember his first time. I really seemed really yeah, he
Speaker 4: seemed to think that getting rid of illegal criminals is
Speaker 4: going to cause our workforce problems. And I just have
Speaker 4: to say, I'm a colorad a native. I've grown up
Speaker 4: and lived here my whole life. But when my daughter
Speaker 4: went to college in Washington, I moved there with her
Speaker 4: to support and so I was blessed enough to meet
Speaker 4: someone who took me around in Washington where the migrants
Speaker 4: actually do work in the field, and they take care
Speaker 4: of their migrants. They have clinics. They you know, they're
Speaker 4: not like an illegal who came here unlawfully. You know,
Speaker 4: they get work contracts to work, and the farmers treat
Speaker 4: them very well out there. But my thing is, I've
Speaker 4: seen what illegal aliens in our country can do to
Speaker 4: a workforce that doesn't need them in it. And I
Speaker 4: don't know if anybody's commented about this before, but I'm
Speaker 4: going to My son was a welder in the oil
Speaker 4: fields Natural Gap and he was making one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty an hour as a subcontractor that he lost that
Speaker 4: job to illegals. And I don't know if anybody's researched
Speaker 4: these explosions that continue to occur, but I don't believe
Speaker 4: that we should be able allowing welders working for weld
Speaker 4: companies in our state if the people that they hire
Speaker 4: are not certified.
Speaker 1: Well, Becky, let's take it back a step further, and
Speaker 1: you raise an important safety issue. Very legit, and I'm
Speaker 1: sorry about what happened to your son, but taking a
Speaker 1: step back further, no American citizen should lose a job
Speaker 1: to somebody who's here I legally, And that's kind of
Speaker 1: the starting point. And that's why as this all gets
Speaker 1: worked out in terms of the massy legal immigration that
Speaker 1: there's been, I think that the obvious starting point, right,
Speaker 1: and Trump's doing it and it should never end under
Speaker 1: any president. It is twenty four to seven, rounding up
Speaker 1: the people who committed other crimes and get them out
Speaker 1: of here. Then I think that the big question you're
Speaker 1: commenting about with Jay, and I've got a lot of
Speaker 1: text on it, is Okay, what do you do with
Speaker 1: the other folks who came here illegally and are not
Speaker 1: committing other crimes? So well, this comes back to your point, Becky,
Speaker 1: No Americans should lose a job to some somebody who's
Speaker 1: here illegally. So then the question becomes, Okay, at what
Speaker 1: point can you have a system where people who've come
Speaker 1: here illegally but have not committed any other crimes, are
Speaker 1: allowed some kind of legal status, because I do think
Speaker 1: that's where we're probably eventually headed. Whether we like it
Speaker 1: or not, or should or not or whatever. I think
Speaker 1: that's or we're probably eventually headed. But all I'm saying, Becky,
Speaker 1: is part of that balance has to be what you're
Speaker 1: talking about, and it has to be a case where
Speaker 1: there's a determination that allowing somebody here illegally to stay
Speaker 1: and obtain legal status has to be in the best
Speaker 1: interest of the nation, and that includes the labor force,
Speaker 1: and that isn't any disrespect to the inherent human dignity
Speaker 1: of that individual that came here I legally, the entire
Speaker 1: process has to be approached with respect for the inherent
Speaker 1: human dignity. But in the end, the nation has to
Speaker 1: do what allows for you know, that the nation to
Speaker 1: be stable financially to move forward in a sensible type way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because on the flip point of this, that same
Speaker 4: son is married to a wonderful woman and he has
Speaker 4: two children with her, and they're non law am illegally,
Speaker 4: and but he is married to an American. Yeah, she
Speaker 4: works in a field that I agree Americans don't want
Speaker 4: to work in like a CNA.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, And.
Speaker 4: She isn't a criminal, and if something happened to her,
Speaker 4: it would devastate our entire family. Like my son would
Speaker 4: give up one hundred and fifty dollars an hour job
Speaker 4: to save non law.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: So we've experienced both sides of this coin. And I
Speaker 4: don't want people that are good for our country to
Speaker 4: be ripped from here, but I do want the criminals gone.
Speaker 4: And I don't know how you balance that unless maybe
Speaker 4: somebody like this must but get nice with Trump and
Speaker 4: create a system for those that are here that aren't
Speaker 4: here legally fully but aren't criminals don't have things like
Speaker 4: that where they can register.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's what.
Speaker 4: There's this fear. So I don't know what you do, Becky.
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, this is one of the
Speaker 1: most compelling calls on this I've ever heard, because your
Speaker 1: family has experienced the full cycle of this, right, oh,
Speaker 1: we have, and then it comes back. It comes back
Speaker 1: to a place of love and humanity, but also recognizing
Speaker 1: kind of the practical considerations for the nation. Tremendous call, Becky,
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Thank you. You take care Wow. Oh cool?
Speaker 1: Three or three?
Speaker 5: Someone?
Speaker 1: Three? Eight, two, five, five the number? What's your solution
Speaker 1: to this? You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 8: Podcast could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement
Speaker 8: in there and the wrong way and turn what is
Speaker 8: just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn
Speaker 8: into a massive confrontation and.
Speaker 1: Altercation between officers. And I guess with legalized marijuana, right,
Speaker 1: and I guessing Dan's Mark Brown ABC seven.
Speaker 5: Joe was a wee little lad.
Speaker 6: Don't you remember taking him to go watch the neighborhood
Speaker 6: car fires and having fun?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: We would start him. Yeah, absolutely absolutely. I mean, man,
Speaker 1: I grew up in Chicago. There was some tough, tough
Speaker 1: stuff in Chicago, but we didn't go burn cars for fun.
Speaker 1: Wow wow. And Newsom here and again this is why
Speaker 1: they're so freaked back there. Listen to Newsome, where's your decency,
Speaker 1: mister president? Stop for sen disorders illegal and unconstitutional? And
Speaker 1: I said it. They're freaking because this is an existential
Speaker 1: threat to Democrats because they have been whether it's Mike
Speaker 1: Johnston in Denver, you know, calling for police to resist
Speaker 1: the federal government enforcement of immigration law, people to flood
Speaker 1: the streets tens of thousands to stop the Feds. You
Speaker 1: have had this kind of open insurrection. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: criminally prosecutable, but this open insurrection from the left across
Speaker 1: the country saying we're not following federal law. We're not
Speaker 1: following any federal law we don't like, including immigration, and
Speaker 1: we're going to prevent you from enforcing it. That's insurrection,
Speaker 1: at least in spirit. And so now what do you have.
Speaker 1: You have Donald Trump standing up and say no, we
Speaker 1: are enforcing federal law. And guess who's going to win?
Speaker 1: And they know it. Trump's going to win. Trump's going
Speaker 1: to win in California, and this is going to be
Speaker 1: the model for his presidency across the country, and it's
Speaker 1: going to help the next Republican win the White House
Speaker 1: and the Republican after that. Because America has reached a
Speaker 1: tipping point on illegal immigration. The polls show it. And
Speaker 1: if an election comes down to a choice between an
Speaker 1: insurrectionist versus someone who will infor worst federal immigration law,
Speaker 1: an awful lot of Americans, especially for the White House,
Speaker 1: but other places are going to elect the person who's
Speaker 1: not the insurrectionist, the person who will enforce immigration law.
Speaker 1: So this is an existential threat to the Democrats politically
Speaker 1: and personally because right now this is like a slow
Speaker 1: motion public pantsing of Gavin Newsom that's going to go
Speaker 1: on for days and for all of these Democrats. By
Speaker 1: the way, Ryan, have we heard a peep from Polis
Speaker 1: or Bennett or hicken Looper on Trump deploying now troops
Speaker 1: and listen, the troops aren't going to interact with protesters.
Speaker 1: They're going to protect buildings. If any of these protesters
Speaker 1: are psycho ingough to attack a federal building, they will
Speaker 1: interact with marines. But then you're talking about National Guard troops.
Speaker 1: They will interact with protesters who violate the law. But
Speaker 1: have you heard a comment from Bennett or Hickenlooper or
Speaker 1: Polis they're probably terrified to this.
Speaker 6: Well, you're right, and the reason is because we've gotten
Speaker 6: this kind of rumblings like I said earlier about there
Speaker 6: could be similar protests erupting in Aurora, Denver, and Colorado Springs.
Speaker 6: And if they do, yeah, the same thing's going to
Speaker 6: happen here and they're going to have to prepare themselves
Speaker 6: for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So It'll be very interesting to see how
Speaker 1: they conduct themselves because they know even in deep blue Colorado,
Speaker 1: they're vulnerable right now. If this election cycle in twenty
Speaker 1: six comes down to a voter choosing do I want
Speaker 1: somebody who's going to enforce federal immigration law or protect
Speaker 1: criminal illegals, Democrats could lose in Colorado. Texter, says Dan,
Speaker 1: houses and benefits for illegal aliens, furloughs equals furloughs and
Speaker 1: layoff for Denver employees, and cuts in programs for the
Speaker 1: citizens of Denver. You're one hundred percent right about that,
Speaker 1: and people are starting to see it. We're going to
Speaker 1: deep dive that tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Dan.
Speaker 1: Letting these riders use deadly force against law enforcement only
Speaker 1: encourages more riots. Why can't law enforcement use deadly force
Speaker 1: to defend themselves, Well, they can if they're faced with
Speaker 1: deadly force. But put yourself in the position of a
Speaker 1: law enforcement officer. Now in Los Angeles, deep blue Democrat,
Speaker 1: far left controlled Los Angeles, if that's my dad out
Speaker 1: on the street, which he did for thirty years in Chicago,
Speaker 1: I'd be scared to death for him, because they will
Speaker 1: make you. The left will make you, and leftist prosecutors
Speaker 1: will make you a human sacrifice in a heartbeat if
Speaker 1: it advances their cause politically. So if you're an officer
Speaker 1: now in Los Angeles and you use any kind of
Speaker 1: force at all, you know you think that that government's
Speaker 1: going to have your back, You think the prosecutor's going
Speaker 1: to have your back. They'd burn you at the stake
Speaker 1: in a second if they thought it would get them
Speaker 1: another vote. So law enforcement out there in a very
Speaker 1: very tough spot. But as everybody knows its the law,
Speaker 1: you can only use deadly force against deadly force. But
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean, and this is where I like Trump's approach,
Speaker 1: none of our law enforcement anywhere in America should have
Speaker 1: to take any kind of physical abuse, and you can
Speaker 1: only respond with the legally permissible amount of force. But
Speaker 1: this idea that our officers have to sit there and
Speaker 1: be spit on, or is it spat one way or
Speaker 1: the other, it's obscene, be spit upon, spat upon in
Speaker 1: any other way physically abused, Have bricks dropped on their
Speaker 1: police cars from bridge overpasses. No, none of that, None
Speaker 1: of that should be tolerated. Dan, did you change your
Speaker 1: mind about the cyber truck purchase? It is on hold,
Speaker 1: it is not old.
Speaker 5: That's a great callback. Nicely done, Dan.
Speaker 1: What evidence have you seen to let any illegals stay here?
Speaker 1: That's nuts where a country of laws listen. My point
Speaker 1: isn't an argument that everybody here illegally who is not
Speaker 1: committed a crime should be allowed to stay. I'm not
Speaker 1: making that argument. I'm talking about, Okay, what is actually
Speaker 1: going to happen in America. Let's say that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: was president for life, and I love what he's doing
Speaker 1: right now in LA. I love what he's doing to
Speaker 1: deport all the criminal illegals. This is great for this country.
Speaker 1: And whether it's Jade Vance next or Marco or somebody else,
Speaker 1: what realistically is going to happen? Do you really think
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to a point where everybody here illegally
Speaker 1: is going to be deported as a practical matter, I
Speaker 1: don't think we're ever going to see that. So then
Speaker 1: what then should be our realistical Well, it obviously starts
Speaker 1: with twenty four to seven never ending in America. Everybody
Speaker 1: here illegally who's committed another serious crime has to go, right,
Speaker 1: we start with that, and then we'll put some more
Speaker 1: meat on the bones tomorrow, Bryan, tremendous job is always
Speaker 1: thank you for finding that sound. My brain is still scrambled. Kelly,
Speaker 1: you're the best. Please join us tomorrow on The Dan
