WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520 This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.759 edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to 3 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.240 give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind, 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599 and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.720 single day on your favorite podcast platform. Yeah, and the 6 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.960 American way is that government has some basic functions, right, 7 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.359 and it's grown way too large, way too out of control, 8 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.359 but it has basic functions we can all agree on. 9 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:27.120 You know, government has that responsibility to take those basic 10 00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:32.560 steps to keep people safe when only government can protect 11 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.359 people in certain ways, and then beyond that, it's up 12 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:35.960 to each of us. 13 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:36.200 Right. 14 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:41.840 But but we have a Democratic party in Colorado which 15 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:48.280 seems absolutely determined, absolutely determined to make innocent citizens of 16 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.159 this state as unsafe as possible. And it continues day 17 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.520 after day afterday, and we'll talk about the latest examples today. 18 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.000 Glad you are here because we just don't curse the darkness, 19 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.200 and there's plenty that curse. But we light candles and 20 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.319 we'll talk about some of those who are trying to 21 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.879 light right now. Eight five five four zero five A 22 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.319 two five five the number worst number for we hope 23 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.200 the best show on radio. No offense, Ryan, who was 24 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.799 a tremendous show two to four each day on six 25 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.000 thirty kitch a w in the Denver market. Did we 26 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.200 talk about just like getting a three oh three number? 27 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.159 But we had five four zero five eight two five five. 28 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.000 Nobody can remember that, nobody can write it down. How 29 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.719 is that any different than the three oh three. I 30 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.920 don't understand, because everybody knows three oh three eight five 31 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.280 five could be eight sixty six eight eight eight, And 32 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.840 then somebody calls and they've got some sex line. No, 33 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.319 just give me a three to oh three. Okay, have 34 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.560 you ever done that? Have you ever like misdialed the 35 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.120 number and then hit one of those things? 36 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.560 I've gotten some strange ones, but nothing like that can Lurida, 37 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.480 but we do, we have had in the past, we 38 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.359 currently have in the present a three tozho three. 39 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:56.239 Number that people can dial. 40 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.000 We could switch back over to that if you want, Dan, 41 00:01:58.040 --> 00:01:59.280 there's nothing preventing us from doing that. 42 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.719 Your name's on the show. I really think we should 43 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.959 let's talk about that, because it's eight five to five, 44 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.200 and I understand. Listen, we're blessed to be syndicated, so 45 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.280 you know we're spread around the place. But these days 46 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.080 nobody has to pay long distance for anything. Right that 47 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.319 that was like a Flintstone era thing, right, yeah, I 48 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:17.840 mean it was before you were born. 49 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.680 So so, Kelly, the three to zho three number that 50 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.759 the Martino Show uses would go to the same lines. 51 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.919 Right, Uh, it does. It would be a great honor. 52 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.919 I should know that number two because I used to 53 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.080 do that, and that number is Kelly three oh three, 54 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.199 Martino three oh three. I don't think six. That's a 55 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.000 terrible number. No, no, well we'll do this off here, 56 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.479 but thank you, thank you for your billingness to improve 57 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.680 the process here. Okay, but you know, it's fascinating me 58 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.680 as a guy who's been in radio for somewhere around 59 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.520 three decades give or take, is just so many shows 60 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.479 now have shifted to text. I saw you getting a 61 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.000 little abuse on the text line. Do you take calls 62 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.120 or are you all texts? 63 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:56.319 Now? 64 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.159 That's a good question to put you on this I 65 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.680 take Is this a sore point? 66 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.560 I'm about to explain, I'm sorry, I take only text, 67 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.479 and that's only because I've had some instability. 68 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:11.879 Shall we say in. 69 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.520 The post that I represent for you? We have a 70 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.719 new hire. He's great, His named Zach Seekers. 71 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:18.560 Okay, wonderful. 72 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.719 That can't do all five days, and so Jesse Thomas 73 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:22.960 during the winter months can do it. 74 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.879 But then he's gonna have spring training. So it's a 75 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:25.800 screener issue. 76 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.280 I think so, because you don't have a consistency on 77 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:28.879 that front. 78 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.280 Yeah, and listen, that is a real challenge. I mean Ryan, 79 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.039 if you ever met Ryan in person, you know, people 80 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:40.319 ask about the anatomical anomaly, right, I mean, it's obvious, 81 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.120 it's it's a bragging point for you. But Ryan is 82 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.759 like an octopus. He has how many arms do you have? 83 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.199 He has five arms. He can answer the phones, he 84 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.919 can do this, he can do that. Now we're blessed 85 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.719 with Kelly as a call screener. I was you, he 86 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.159 just said, I was getting to you. He said, I'm 87 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.520 just saying, Kelly, on those rare days when you're off 88 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.719 on a beach or something, you know, Ryan's just doing 89 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:02.560 it all. It's crazy. 90 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.560 Really, I am very thankful for Kelly's presence here as everyone. 91 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.240 It makes the trains run on time. Just the aura 92 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:11.360 two aura level of production. 93 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:12.840 Yeah, did you see your boots today? 94 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:17.639 Holy crap? I did? Yeah, Wow, Wow, Holy cow. I 95 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.800 can't tell you last time I saw a pair like that. 96 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.040 Oh yeah, really really impressive. Somebody texted me three h 97 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.600 three someone three eight two five five. See, I remember 98 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.800 that number rolls off the tongue because I've probably given 99 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.240 that for one hundred years, like all eight years Craig 100 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.839 and I did the show together. Three three someone three 101 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.959 eight two five five. That's it. That's the one. Yeah, right, okay, 102 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.600 that's a good number. Well, all right, I'm going to 103 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.480 start doing yeah, and that I will remember because I 104 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.639 used it for many many and then one yeah, threeal 105 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.639 three someone three eight two five five and uh, all right, 106 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.279 we got that done. Wow. Speaking of vibes, the first 107 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.920 of the Trump nominees who will be confirmed Pete heg Satz, 108 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.480 And I'm glad they had him go first, right, because 109 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.480 Trump has all this political capital, goodwill, everything else that 110 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.920 he's hard earned, and he has a right to have 111 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:10.600 the people he wants unless they're just obviously completely unqualified, 112 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.759 and Pete Hagseeth is not that. So yeah, he's going 113 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.480 to be confirmed. But we wanted to get you a 114 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.079 little bit of sound from that, because the left now 115 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.759 scream therapy is expensive unless you're a remember of the Senate, 116 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.399 and then you get to do it on the taxpayer's 117 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.959 dime in these hearings. But it comes in all forms. 118 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.839 Why don't we kick this one off with Senator Kristin 119 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.439 Jillibrand of New York. She's still in the Senate. 120 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:36.800 She just want again. 121 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.920 Oh my goodness, the. 122 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.920 Women you have denigrated. You have also denigrated members of 123 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.240 the LGBTQ community. Did you know that when donas don't 124 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.560 tell was in place, we lost so many crucial personnel, 125 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.800 over one thousand in mission critical areas. 126 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.879 We lost ten percent of all our foreign. 127 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.360 Language speakers because of a political policy. You said in 128 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.319 your statement you don't want in the DoD Everything you've 129 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.319 said in these public statements is politics. I don't want women. 130 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.240 I don't want moms. 131 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.240 What's wrong with a mom? 132 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.560 By the way, once you have babies, you therefore are 133 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.040 no longer able to be lethal. I mean, you're basically 134 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.959 saying women after they have children can't ever serve in 135 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.800 the military in a combat role. It's a silly thing 136 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:18.240 to say. 137 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.519 It's a silly thing to say. Beneath the physician that you. 138 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.439 Are aspiring to to detagrate LGBTQ service members is a mistake. 139 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.079 If you are a sharpshooter, you're as lethal regardless of 140 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.360 what your gender identity is, regardless. 141 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:32.480 Of who you love. 142 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.439 So please know this to be a true statement. 143 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.319 Yeah, get it all out, Kristen, better get it all 144 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.560 out right now. And it's not going to affect pe. 145 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.319 Do you see he's going to be confirmed eight five 146 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.639 five for zero five eight two five five the number 147 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.319 tex d an five seven, seven through nine. You know 148 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.519 he's in great shape when you know the lead headline 149 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.240 because it's what six oh five Eastern when our show 150 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.959 starts here in the Mountain time zone that CNN has 151 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.680 the best they have in their prime time is seets 152 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.959 grilled about shifting position on women. 153 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.839 In combat when that's the best they got. You know, 154 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.000 you're getting confirmed. And there's one thing and I watched 155 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.319 almost as an entire hearing. I thought it fascinating then 156 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.879 for many reasons, one of what you just heard, unfortunately 157 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:20.160 kristin Gilibrand. But there are various nuanced positions within combat 158 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:25.399 meaning women in combat, meaning front lines, reinforcement level. There's 159 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.000 some people that are in combat technically, but again it's 160 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.319 not on the front lines as kind of a backing role. 161 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.600 So I think it's how you define it. 162 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.120 And Pete Hegg set the point he was making was 163 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.759 that he felt standards were being lowered in order to 164 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:43.920 accommodate higher numbers of female enlisted members. And I think 165 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.839 he's right on that point, and this is something that 166 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.600 I think, to her credit, Senator Joni Ernst was able 167 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.639 to clarify in her time with Petex. 168 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.639 Yes, and when am I going to get that ring 169 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.480 in my nose? So you can kind of lead me around? 170 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.480 But I do appreciate it, because leave it or not, 171 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.000 I was going to play that bight next. 172 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:08.319 No, it is incredibly important that I stress, and I 173 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:13.199 hope that, if confirmed, you continue to stress that every 174 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.480 man and woman has opportunity to serve their country and 175 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:23.040 uniform and do so at any level as long as 176 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.720 they are meeting the standards that are set forward. And 177 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.519 we talked about that in my office. I do believe 178 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:31.600 in high standards. 179 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.080 Now, I was. 180 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:41.799 Denied the opportunity to serve in any combat role because 181 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.240 I have a lot of gray hair, and the policy 182 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.639 has changed since then. Okay, so I've been around for 183 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:48.279 quite a while. 184 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.080 Wait a sec. Because she's talking about the capitalist rule, right, 185 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.200 and until this nation adopts it. It is a mega 186 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.559 blind spot. And that rule is it's all about the 187 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.919 stand and you do not at this point, you do 188 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.120 not keep people out of combat roles because of the 189 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.080 number on their driver's license. You know, well, you don't 190 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.519 keep out of combat roles because of their age. If 191 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.960 somebody can meet the standards, because we all know how 192 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.480 dramatically things have changed. You got a lot of guys, 193 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.240 You got a lot of guys right now in their fifties, 194 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.000 lord knows, but some in their sixties, you know, who 195 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.039 have every physical capability and they also have the wisdom 196 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.720 of the years, etc. And they want to go serve, 197 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.919 and they want to go serve in combat roles. It's 198 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.320 a blind spot for this country not to permit it. 199 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.399 And then when it comes and we'll talk when we 200 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.399 come back, as we play more of this excess sound 201 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.399 about women in combat? What I'd like to do, because 202 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.919 I've never served, I would love to hear. I would 203 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.000 love to hear from people who have served, you know, male, female, 204 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.000 what you think about women in these combat positions? Because 205 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.759 me just sitting here, it's easy to say, and I 206 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.759 do believe it's all about the standard but if you've 207 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.559 been there, if you've been in these combat situations, maybe 208 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.039 most recently in Iraq, if a stand whatever is a 209 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.399 practical matter, can that work out. I'm just talking about 210 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:08.320 logistically mechanically. I don't think anybody does that. Women would 211 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.480 be superb the right woman right, just like the right 212 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:15.039 guy in a combat role. But as a practical logistical matter, 213 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:16.919 can it work in the field? Can it work on 214 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.120 the battlefield? You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 215 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.440 And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast. 216 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.879 Just singing at the inauguration. She's singing America the Beautiful. 217 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.080 I believe that's wonderful. Can you imagine how good that's 218 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.000 going to be. It's gonna be phenomenal. I'm so glad she's 219 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:39.320 doing it. 220 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.519 But she is getting some backlash from fans and trolls 221 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.120 on Instagram and the socials. 222 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.639 No, no, no, no, no, some trolls. Maybe she wouldn't get 223 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.759 any backlash from any true fan. But at this point, 224 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:53.000 isn't this fun to watch? Ryan Yes said that there 225 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.559 is so, but there's so much less of it now, 226 00:10:55.759 --> 00:11:00.159 right because the dynamics so different with Trump taking off now, 227 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.600 how everything he overcame the way he responded to the 228 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:08.919 assassination attempt. Everything else. There is so much less of 229 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.519 this hateful, blind resistance, not because all of a sudden 230 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.240 all those people have become good and pure and everything else, 231 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.559 but because they know at this point they've lost, and 232 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.200 the American people chose Trump, and they risk their own 233 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.720 power if they come out now and they try to 234 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.480 do the same hateful stuff toward him. There's still some pockets, 235 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.159 but he could you do me a favorite during one 236 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.600 of the breaks? I mean sure, For those who haven't 237 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.799 heard a lot of Carrie Underwood, she has almost supernatural 238 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.840 abilities and it often comes out, I guess, maybe appropriately 239 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.679 when she's singing religious stuff. So maybe a little how 240 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.240 great Thou Art Sure or something like that, just played, 241 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.080 Jesus take the whey on it? That's all yeh. But 242 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.279 I'm talking about range. Oh yeah, you're the music guy. 243 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.360 I'm just a lay person who knows what I like here. 244 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.360 Hey on American Idol? Yeah, give him a ten. 245 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.519 I know the one you're talking about, and it's when 246 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.120 you were attending one of her shows. It was in Vegas, right, 247 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:03.480 oh yeah, And I'll try to track something representative down 248 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.159 along those lines. Just an interesting kind of pop culture 249 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.200 not I was talking about this on my program Dan 250 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.960 with regard to Carrie Underwood. John Rich, a big and 251 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.519 rich who's a fervent Trump supporter and one of us 252 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:17.559 and quotes he said, Carrie Underwood's just the tip of 253 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.720 the iceberg, and that he hopes a lot more people 254 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.600 will come right out in not the Trump haters, but 255 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.080 the ones that might have been agnostic, like I don't 256 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.759 want to get involved, I don't want to support Trump, 257 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:27.799 and I don't want to vocalize that. 258 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.399 But the more of those that come. 259 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.679 Out, like John Rich has and said, now, look I 260 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.759 like President Trump, or I am proud that he's my president, 261 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.600 or I admire him for going through an assassination attempt 262 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.759 and all these other things. The more of those that 263 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.039 come forward in John Rich's mind, and I agree with this, 264 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.480 the less there's going to be this vitriol and these 265 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.200 people carping at Trump with Trump's arrangement syndrome, because it's 266 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.840 going to be normalized to use the the lef's word 267 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.679 that Donald Trump is not the demon the left portrays. 268 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.759 Him to be. And I'm really glad you used that word, 269 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.720 because yeah, there's going to be more of that, right, 270 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.360 and with more, and Trump's already so successful. I mean, 271 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.200 look at if, in fact this deal comes through to 272 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.440 free the hostages. That was Trump who got that deal 273 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.879 even before taking office. Right. But you're right, the more 274 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.080 people come forward on the positive side, the less they'll 275 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.440 be of the other. But the less there's going to 276 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.679 be of the other anyway, because it's not working for 277 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.960 them and they're doing it in their own best interests. 278 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.159 All I'm saying is it all creates, it all helps 279 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.519 create this moment in America. We haven't had one like it, 280 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.919 at least in my young lifetime, where there's this opportunity 281 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.679 for the country to become significantly less polarized. And then, 282 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:34.240 as Trump has said, unify around success because nothing's guaranteed, 283 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.519 but all indications are there's going to be a lot 284 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:40.399 more success on multiple fronts than America's had in quite 285 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.480 a while now. Eight five five four zero five eight 286 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:46.360 two five five. So bottom line is Trump has normalized himself. 287 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:51.159 Trump has normalized himself through his success, normalized himself by 288 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:55.080 overcoming what appeared to be to many almost impossible hurdles. 289 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:56.919 I mean, we predicted here he would win for the 290 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.679 reasons we predicted he did. But then the he handled 291 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.519 that assassination attempt in Butler, after being shot, so many 292 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.559 other things, he has normalized himself and he's taken it 293 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.919 one step further. Not to get all philosophical, he's gone 294 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.519 beyond normalizing himself. He has now at this point turned 295 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:22.080 himself into an almost mythical figure. And if the success 296 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.840 that I expect to happen happens, then then yeah, it 297 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.759 is going to be. It's almost in dimensions a biblical 298 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.759 type story when he's done with that term eight f 299 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:35.679 five zero five A two five five or plan A 300 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.399 lot of hegsas sound today, but we have a lot 301 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.919 to do locally because and we were on it yesterday, 302 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.600 you know, as it was unfolding real time, Denver and 303 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.159 Denver becoming so very dangerous and almost by design, I mean, 304 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.120 another big step taken by Denversity Council to expand this 305 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.360 needle exchange program will lead not the next segment, because 306 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.399 George Brockler will join us in the next segment this 307 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.759 with him and play the full story after that. But then, 308 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:08.279 of course this you have this serial killer loose on 309 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.960 the mall because remember once he stabbed three people in 310 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.320 an hour and slit the throat of a flight attendant. 311 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.039 It was clear he intended to kill all three. So 312 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.159 at that point, you know, you have a serial killer 313 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.120 loose on the mall, and one thing you know is 314 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:27.440 that that killer is going to kill again, and there's 315 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:29.840 every reason to believe that killer is going to kill again, 316 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.120 and that they're going to kill on the mall. So 317 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.399 the only way to protect people at that point is 318 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:38.960 a five alarm fire warning, because you could flood that 319 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.200 mall with officers. You could have every Denver police officer 320 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:45.279 on that mall, and you know, when you're dealing with 321 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.519 a psycho serial killer that you're not going to be 322 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.200 able to stop them. And because serial killer like that, 323 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.559 how's the cop going to stop it? You flood the 324 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.519 entire mall with cops and he just walks there. Normal 325 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.840 looking guy, you know, stone or type, but normal looking 326 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.639 guy walks onto the mall and he has that big 327 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.000 old butcher knife under his coat. Every single officer in 328 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.879 Denver could be on the mall and you're not going 329 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.000 to be able to stop him because he is a 330 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.600 psychoone he's determined to kill. So you know, at that 331 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.679 point is the Mayor of Denver that the only way 332 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.840 the minute you find out about this is Mary of Denver, 333 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.360 you know, the only way you can protect the people 334 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.799 of Denver and beyond is to warn them. Five Allied fire. 335 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.240 We got a psycho serial killer targeting the mall. Every 336 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.600 citizen of this nation deserve that warning. Deserve that warning 337 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.200 as a matter of basic human decency, as a matter 338 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.080 of public responsibility, because that's the only way you can 339 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.320 protect him. And that warning did not come. And we're 340 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:45.639 going to get to the bottom of that, and I'll 341 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.639 explain the steps we're taking to get to the bottom 342 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:50.919 of it, because I believe I can't prove it right now, 343 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:52.879 but logic tells you it's true, and we're taking all 344 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.360 the steps and we need to get the evidence to 345 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:58.600 prove it. Somebody made that decision that we are not 346 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.399 going to do that big warning, and they had to 347 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.200 know it's the only way to protect the people, but 348 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.960 they decided not to protect the people in the interest 349 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.279 of what was it? Was it Mike Johnston's political interest. 350 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.000 Just take your chances because it would hurt Mike Johnston, 351 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.319 because it would hurt business. Whatever it was. The people 352 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.680 weren't warned somebody had to make that decision. It would 353 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:24.039 be even worse if nobody had made the decision right now. 354 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.680 It's disqualifying. If it is true he did that, he 355 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.079 should leave office right now. But it would be even 356 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.559 worse if he didn't make the decision. It would be 357 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:33.400 even worse. If he's so out of the loop he 358 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.079 wasn't informed, or that he was informed and it never 359 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.000 occurred to him to warn the people, that would be 360 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.640 even worse. But one way or the other, we have 361 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.559 got the worst kind of scandal. Because you have the 362 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.279 big scandals involving money, and they're really bad. That's a 363 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.799 big deal. A lot of people in jail for those things, 364 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.839 except politicians. And then you have the worst kind of scandal, 365 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.079 which is the scandals that get people killed, and this 366 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.920 is one of them. Because every person in America who 367 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:03.039 could have even thought of coming to the mall, certainly 368 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.960 every person in Denver and Colorado should have been warned 369 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:09.799 we've got a psycho serial killer loose on the mall, 370 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:12.279 and then they can make their own decision whether to 371 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:12.759 go down there. 372 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:13.160 Now. 373 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:15.799 I don't know the identity d yet run of that 374 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.559 last victim who was murdered by the serial killer, No, 375 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.079 the mall serial killer. And so I don't know the backstory, 376 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.920 but it may well be we'll find out that this 377 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.319 victim would not have gone there if those warnings admissioned. 378 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:31.799 Maybe they lived down there and they would have been 379 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:34.519 there anyway, but maybe they would have stayed inside. Who's 380 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:36.559 going to go down there? If you get the kind 381 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.799 of warning you should have that we've got a psycho 382 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.759 serial killer loose on the mall. People deserve that warning. 383 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.119 Somebody made the decision not to give it. We're going 384 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.519 to find out who you're on the Dan. 385 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:55.759 Capital you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 386 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.079 Form rank senator from the political class on day one 387 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.559 on January twentieth, when President Trump is sworn in, he 388 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.519 will issue a new set of lawful orders, and the 389 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.359 leadership of our services will have an opportunity to follow 390 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.319 those lawful orders or not. Those lawful orders will not 391 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:17.240 be based on politics. They will be based on readiness, accountability, standards, 392 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:21.480 and lethality. That is the process by which leaders will 393 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.440 be judged. And accountability is coming because everybody in this 394 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:26.119 room knows. 395 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.880 If you're a rifleman and you lose. 396 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:31.359 Your rifle they're throwing the book at you. 397 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:33.720 But if you're a. 398 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:36.960 General who loses a war, you get a promotion. 399 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.400 Wow. Wow. Yeah. So the beauty of this is Hegsa's 400 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.799 not only going to be confirmed, but he's going to 401 00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:47.240
