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. Oh and it
Speaker 1: is a great awakening in America. There's not been a
Speaker 1: moment like it in my young lifetime anyway, and you
Speaker 1: see it on display in so many ways each day,
Speaker 1: so we'll continue to celebrate it. Today's fresh example has
Speaker 1: to be the funeral, right, the funeral of Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 1: And who would have thought that one of his greatest
Speaker 1: acts of service to the nation would be his funeral,
Speaker 1: because it emerges with these images of Obama and Trump
Speaker 1: just sitting as close to each other as teenagers on
Speaker 1: a date, and they're yucking it up and they're obviously
Speaker 1: having fun, and they appear to like each other, and
Speaker 1: that's just great for America, no matter what they were
Speaker 1: talking about, that's great for America. And then even better,
Speaker 1: well can't say I was a contrast with the front
Speaker 1: row where he had when the then comes in Joe
Speaker 1: Biden and Joe Biden with her and they sit down
Speaker 1: next to the already seated Kamala Harrison Doug the Bruiser.
Speaker 1: There's just nothing between them. I mean, they're both so
Speaker 1: obviously trying to communicate how much they dislike each other.
Speaker 1: It was a remarkable thing to see. And then the
Speaker 1: look that Kamala Harris had on her face when she
Speaker 1: hears this something behind her and she tears around and
Speaker 1: she sees Obama yucking it up with Trump. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just it's a beautiful thing to behold. So lots
Speaker 1: happening there, obviously now in California, even in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: so a lot of lefties, their eyes are being open
Speaker 1: to just the undeniable reality that leftist rule leads to
Speaker 1: ruin some places sooner, some places later, some places quicker,
Speaker 1: some pace, places slower, but always every place, and it's
Speaker 1: because the ideas are so waffled they don't work. And
Speaker 1: so you see it in Colorado, right with all the
Speaker 1: bad stuff that's happening here. The process is very fast here,
Speaker 1: but it's slower than it would be because Colorado has
Speaker 1: so many natural advantages, starting with being one of the
Speaker 1: most beautiful places in the world. So the Left can't
Speaker 1: ruin this place as quickly as it ruins Saya, Chicago
Speaker 1: or in La but it's ruining it, which leads us
Speaker 1: to the state of the state. And we're having some
Speaker 1: fun with that because Polus is big theme. Because he
Speaker 1: wants to run for president. Tomagya, I want a quarterback
Speaker 1: to Broncos Sunday, and I have a better chance of
Speaker 1: being the Broncos quarterback on Sunday than he has to
Speaker 1: being president. Because he wants to run for president, he
Speaker 1: knows what some of his big problems are. And some
Speaker 1: of his big problems are things like, yeah, telling people
Speaker 1: you put this new experimental medicine in your veins, or
Speaker 1: you lose your state job, you lose your ability to
Speaker 1: support your family, or yeah, we're shutting down the churches,
Speaker 1: but those dope stores, they're essential businesses. So he's got
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of problems. So he now wants to
Speaker 1: build himself as the freedom guy. So today we have
Speaker 1: the Free State of Colorado over and over and over again,
Speaker 1: kind of a cheap ripoff of DeSantis. So we're having
Speaker 1: fun with it. So you fill in this blank the
Speaker 1: free State of Colorado unless what goes in that blank
Speaker 1: for me, it would start with unless you're a Christian
Speaker 1: who wants to practice your faith. Ask Jack Phillips. So
Speaker 1: unless you're a parent, does want your little boy to
Speaker 1: be turned into a little girl by the school? A
Speaker 1: little girl turned into a little boy? You know, you're
Speaker 1: the free state of Colorado. Unless you want to carry
Speaker 1: a common firearm for self defense? You know, so they
Speaker 1: the list is long, but i'd love yours. I love
Speaker 1: the texture. You said. Yeah, unless you don't want your
Speaker 1: livestock to be eaten by wolves. Dan Michelle didn't go
Speaker 1: because she didn't want to sit by Trump. I think
Speaker 1: that's probably true. I think that's probably the winning answer.
Speaker 1: And I think that once again she hurts herself with that.
Speaker 1: You think that's it, Ryan, You think that's why she
Speaker 1: stiffed Carter? It may have been.
Speaker 2: I just like that what it presented was probably an
Speaker 2: opportunity we might not otherwise have seen. And that is
Speaker 2: the former president Barack Obama sitting directly next to President
Speaker 2: Trump and they're having a good time.
Speaker 1: Like I said, what an amazing visual that is for
Speaker 1: the world, tremendous for the country. And but if she
Speaker 1: is there, Yeah, there's no way Obama does that.
Speaker 3: No, he for multiple reasons.
Speaker 1: Obama read the Lorena Bobbitt's stories right, there is no
Speaker 1: way he does that. By the way, I met Bobbit,
Speaker 1: what was his name, John Wayne? John Wayne, interviewed Bobbit,
Speaker 1: got a picture with him somewhere. I don't think we'll
Speaker 1: put that on the website. But yeah, okay, yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: so no, there's no way you see that moment if
Speaker 1: she is there with Barack Obama.
Speaker 2: For one, they would be sitting as it was staged.
Speaker 2: It'd be Barack, Michelle, Donald Melania in that order. So yeah,
Speaker 2: Michelle and have been between the two of them.
Speaker 1: Oh wait a second, then, good point. Maybe he made
Speaker 1: her stay home. Because let's face it right now, if
Speaker 1: you're a Democrat and you've got any potential criminal exposure
Speaker 1: at all, and I'm not saying that Barack Obama's committed
Speaker 1: in crimes, I'm not saying that at all. But you
Speaker 1: want Donald Trump as your friend, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I mean, because you've just had You've just had the
Speaker 1: left throw with Obama's blessing. I'm sure in implicit ways.
Speaker 1: He sure wasn't out there criticizing it. You've just had
Speaker 1: the left risk the very foundation of this country to
Speaker 1: try to jail a political opponent and guess what he won,
Speaker 1: And so now he's in power and he's got the
Speaker 1: Justice Department. If you're a Democrat who has actually committed crimes,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if Obama has, you would want
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to like you?
Speaker 3: Do you think on some level?
Speaker 2: And I'm going to sound very naive with this, but
Speaker 2: there are only now three living presidents. For I guess
Speaker 2: with w who will serve the two terms. W's got
Speaker 2: his family reasons, I think for disliking Trump. But Clinton
Speaker 2: on some level is face a lot of that kind
Speaker 2: of scrutiny from with in the impeachment, et cetera. For
Speaker 2: Barack Obama to know that Donald Trump and do it
Speaker 2: all of what you just said, the law fair did
Speaker 2: everything overcame it won an election, won the popular vote.
Speaker 2: Do you think at some point? Broxays, you know what
Speaker 2: I respect this guy?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's what I opened the show with, right,
Speaker 1: which is we had a couple of profound truths in
Speaker 1: the show today, and I don't do those often, but
Speaker 1: those are statements of absolute, profound, undeniable truth that no
Speaker 1: reasonable person could disagree with. And one was just that
Speaker 1: one right, and that was that. Right Now, as Donald
Speaker 1: Trump assumes office, he is one hundred times more respected,
Speaker 1: and he is one hundred and fifty times more respected
Speaker 1: by his opponents because of what he has overcome. It's
Speaker 1: almost biblical. It's certainly mythical when you have somebody who's
Speaker 1: had the full weight of the administration misusing the Justice
Speaker 1: Department to go after him. He has survived the coup attempt,
Speaker 1: he survived two assassination attempts, one clearly miraculously at that point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do think, whether it's Obama or anybody else, and
Speaker 1: whether they'll say it or not, that they have just
Speaker 1: got a hundred times more respect for him than when
Speaker 1: he took office back in twenty seventeen. Is there anybody
Speaker 1: who disagree with that? And that bodes well? Right, that
Speaker 1: boats well for America in the world.
Speaker 2: Well, it gives me a spring in my step, Dan,
Speaker 2: as I prepare to attend the inauguration that I am Oh,
Speaker 2: you're going, We're going to be there and going to
Speaker 2: call it back into the show. Why didn't you tell
Speaker 2: me that I thought I did, when I don't know,
Speaker 2: maybe I didn't. I told Kelly. But yeah, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be there live on Monday and hopefully with some
Speaker 2: call ins for you on this program.
Speaker 1: Right up there on the stage right which all.
Speaker 2: John Fabrigatory and I. It's gonna be like a Buddy film.
Speaker 2: We're going to show up and see what happens coming.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be excited, well excited to be there.
Speaker 2: But Dan, I cannot tell you how much more comfortable
Speaker 2: and confident and relaxed I am about the upcoming Trump
Speaker 2: in the sense of I believe that Donald Trump knows
Speaker 2: what he's doing, knows the lay of the land, knows
Speaker 2: who he can trust, knows who he can't, knows who
Speaker 2: he wants in power with him in his cabinet. Trump
Speaker 2: two point oh to me is going to be infinitely
Speaker 2: more effective than his first term.
Speaker 1: Well, there is no It's going to be historically effective.
Speaker 1: It already is. And that's why this is the greatest
Speaker 1: opportunity in my lifetime anyway, for the world to move
Speaker 1: forward in a dramatic positive way. And that's why Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's in the greatest danger he's ever been in because
Speaker 1: right now you can be certain you have so many
Speaker 1: enemies out there, so many bad actors. You've got nation
Speaker 1: state enemies, who are probably planning his demise as we speak.
Speaker 1: So that doesn't mean they're going to succeed. We pray
Speaker 1: to God they don't. But we've got to be realistic
Speaker 1: about the fact that because he is already doing so
Speaker 1: much good, and he's in a position to do so
Speaker 1: much more good in the next four years. Yeah, evil
Speaker 1: has not stood by. Evil has already tried to kill
Speaker 1: him twice. So we just pray to God that he
Speaker 1: continues to survive, because, yeah, we are on the verge
Speaker 1: of something tremendous. We're living through it already. So getting
Speaker 1: back to Colorado's a free state unless here's another good
Speaker 1: one from a Texter, the free state of Colorado unless
Speaker 1: you're a family wants cheap eggs. Another great example, right, Dan,
Speaker 1: did you represent John Wayne Bobbitt in his catastrophic injury case?
Speaker 1: I did not. I cut that one loose. Oh can
Speaker 1: you imagine that closing argument. Oh my goodness, Oh my
Speaker 1: good yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah. So hey, it's the
Speaker 1: free state of Colorado unlesson, by the way, if you
Speaker 1: just joined us, thank you. We're mocking Polus's repeated refrained
Speaker 1: today in the State of the state, calling this the
Speaker 1: free state of Colorado right from the guy who closed
Speaker 1: down churches and ordered dope dealers were essential businesses eight
Speaker 1: five five four zero five eight two five five the
Speaker 1: Free State of Colorado unless fill in the blank. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Capitla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 4: That again, you didn't see a particularly one grading between
Speaker 4: the first couple and the second couple. But again, we
Speaker 4: are at a funeral, so one has to take that
Speaker 4: into account when trying to read the body language for
Speaker 4: the individuals there.
Speaker 1: Why did you mention it? You mentioned it because it
Speaker 1: was obvious what was happening. They were all that, the bidens,
Speaker 1: the harrises. They wanted the world to see that they
Speaker 1: despise each other. I mean, they knew they were on camera,
Speaker 1: they knew they were on worldwide TV. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: they made it very clear, and that's why Tapper mentioned it.
Speaker 1: But I just think that sounds hilarious. You know that
Speaker 1: golf tournament voice. It's got about a three footer here.
Speaker 1: The freedom of the world's at stake. Oh ye did
Speaker 1: noon and noon and noon? Now this this was you
Speaker 1: gotta see the video if you haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1: At work today you got to see the video when
Speaker 1: you get home. It's some of the greatest video ever
Speaker 1: for America. You know, Obama and Trump sitting just just
Speaker 1: so close to each other and they're laughing and they're
Speaker 1: having fun together. It's just great for the country. You see.
Speaker 1: And then the look on Harris's face when she turns
Speaker 1: around and sees them laughing together. It's absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's not lost on me. With a Caddy Shack reference. Dan,
Speaker 2: you were part of the even Scholarship. You said it
Speaker 2: many times. Oh, yes, but that the main character is
Speaker 2: named Danny Noon Noon And I want to know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you guys are roughly the same age. Are there similarities
Speaker 2: between you and the Danny Newton character.
Speaker 1: It is so striking in my understanding. And I haven't
Speaker 1: had the chance to ask Bill Murray about this because
Speaker 1: I don't know them. But my understanding is that that
Speaker 1: movie Caddy Shack is based on the Caddy Scholarship program
Speaker 1: that I got the Evan Scholarship, because what I'm told
Speaker 1: is and I didn't know his brother either, but I'm
Speaker 1: told his brother was a caddy in the Chicago area.
Speaker 1: I was North Side at about the same time I
Speaker 1: was caddying and that he competed for the Evan Scholarship.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm told. I don't know if it's true,
Speaker 1: but the similarities are stunning, you know, as a guy
Speaker 1: who caddied for years, and just a quick programming note
Speaker 1: if you have a kid who's looking for a summer job,
Speaker 1: and the greatest college scholarship available anywhere in the world
Speaker 1: called the Evans Scholarship, named after Chick Evans, who was
Speaker 1: the Tiger Woods of his day, but didn't take the
Speaker 1: prize money, put it all into a fund to send
Speaker 1: caddies to college, to send you know, working class kids
Speaker 1: to college. And so this great scholarship program continues today,
Speaker 1: including in Colorado. So you know, have your kids look
Speaker 1: into caddying and then they'd have a shot at winning
Speaker 1: that scholarship. But yeah, the similarities right down to his
Speaker 1: girl friend looked like exactly like the girl I was
Speaker 1: dating back in my cat of years. And yes, it
Speaker 1: was amazing. Not everything in the movie exactly the same,
Speaker 1: but awful lot of truths, like we didn't have gophers,
Speaker 1: we had wild rabbit dogs and it was a beautiful
Speaker 1: country club. But we had characters, man, we had mobsters,
Speaker 1: we had dirty politicians. We had some really nice, cool guys.
Speaker 1: But you know when my heart was broken, Ryne, just
Speaker 1: because my naivete was when, oh, I can't tell the story.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that that's the worst possible. I can't know.
Speaker 1: It's just occurred to me. One of the people involved
Speaker 1: is a public figure a lot. It's a true story,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't want to do it. Figure I assume alive.
Speaker 1: Oh but all I'm saying, let me put it this
Speaker 1: way without getting into too much detail. She was a younger,
Speaker 1: like twenties, early thirties, beautiful woman, well well known in Chicago,
Speaker 1: very very whole, some reputation, everything else, public figure. And
Speaker 1: I'm out parking cars at the country club one night
Speaker 1: and I go over behind a row somewhere near the trees,
Speaker 1: and she's just over there going at it with one
Speaker 1: of the married members, and I just I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: my lord, I've seen too much.
Speaker 3: So there was a little Danny Noonan.
Speaker 1: Oh my, oh listen, real world, way beyond Caddyshack, really
Speaker 1: light years beyond caddy Shack. Yeah yeah, yeah, So but
Speaker 1: what a great movie. Had that movie on when Joe
Speaker 1: was born? Because Amy had a really hard labor. She
Speaker 1: is tough and yeah, so we had that movie on
Speaker 1: and we're watching it, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: fortunately Joe arrived nice and healthy. But while Caddyshack is airing,
Speaker 1: I don't think that was a coincidence. He went on
Speaker 1: to be a very good caddy. There you go, Joe did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I credit Caddyshack with Joe's healthy birth. Is a great point.
Speaker 1: It will relax you. All right. We got a lot
Speaker 1: to talk about Polist today. It's hilarious. State of the state.
Speaker 1: His marketing people or whatever are telling him free state
Speaker 1: of Colorado. So that was his mantra, and so it's
Speaker 1: obviously backwards right under him. So we're just doing a
Speaker 1: free state of Colorado unless things. So, how would you
Speaker 1: fill in that blank and some of the obvious ones? Right,
Speaker 1: unless you know you don't want to take an experimental medicine, Yeah,
Speaker 1: free state of Colorado, because Jared Polis will fire you
Speaker 1: from your government job if you don't take the medicine.
Speaker 1: He wants you to free state of Colorado. Unless you're
Speaker 1: a Christian who wants to practice their faith. Ask Jack Phillips,
Speaker 1: So what would you fill in their text? Or a
Speaker 1: great point, free State of Colorado unless you don't want
Speaker 1: your livestock eaten by wolves, the free state of Colorado.
Speaker 1: Or the person who killed multiple people in I seventy
Speaker 1: gets his sentence commuted. That that's a great point, yeah,
Speaker 1: or free state of Colorado. If you are a mass
Speaker 1: roadway killer, then it's the free State of Colorado, because
Speaker 1: the governor is going to step in and get you
Speaker 1: out of jail a way early, if Kim Kardashian whispers
Speaker 1: in his head.
Speaker 2: Of course, obviously, on a more practical and annoying level
Speaker 2: for us consumers out there, I would say free State
Speaker 2: of Colorado unless you want grocery bags at King Soupers.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful one and such a practical thing right
Speaker 1: where where your life is made harder for no tangible benefit.
Speaker 1: It is just it is just another way you have
Speaker 1: to be subservient to the left. Dan, Free state of Colorado,
Speaker 1: unless you're assist gender pro life Christian father praying in
Speaker 1: front of planned parenthood, beautifully said.
Speaker 5: Dan.
Speaker 1: I think you misunderstood. He was saying, fee State of Colorado,
Speaker 1: Fee State of Colorado, Dan, Free State of Colorado. Unless
Speaker 1: you want a toilet that works, or a reasonably priced
Speaker 1: catalytic converter go to the Free State of Wyoming for
Speaker 1: both different topic Texter Dan I also kept Malania during
Speaker 1: the funeral service and wondered what she was thinking about
Speaker 1: that from Andy, those are deep thoughts, you know, this
Speaker 1: is this is just one of the countless great things
Speaker 1: about Trump's victory. Is you think of Malania Trump and
Speaker 1: all she has suffered, and the fact that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: then wins, and so her husband is spared jail. Her
Speaker 1: husband is spared. You know that the financial destruction they
Speaker 1: were trying to impose on him, they end up on top.
Speaker 1: They get to go to the White House again, even
Speaker 1: though I doubt she'll live there that often. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just feel really good for her on that. When
Speaker 1: we come back, Hey, we'll continue to talk about this.
Speaker 1: It's also much fun. I want to talk to you
Speaker 1: about something you're not going to hear discussed anywhere else,
Speaker 1: and it is really really important to you. And there's
Speaker 1: something going on at the legislature, and if the legislature
Speaker 1: does what it appears ready to do, it is really
Speaker 1: really going to put you in danger. It's going to
Speaker 1: make your life worse in ways you may never even know.
Speaker 1: And the best part about all this. You'll probably disagree
Speaker 1: with me on this, but it's very important that you
Speaker 1: know about it because I am right on this and
Speaker 1: I know of what I speak, and you need to
Speaker 1: know about this issue and can consider getting involved because
Speaker 1: if the legislature does what it intends, Democrat, Republican, unaffiliated,
Speaker 1: it's going to hurt everybody.
Speaker 3: You're on the Dan Kapla Show, you're listening to the
Speaker 3: Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, I want to deliver on
Speaker 1: the teas from the last segment and preview a topic
Speaker 1: you're not going to hear about anywhere else, but it
Speaker 1: is truly vital to your well being the well being
Speaker 1: of your family in Colorado. I'll get into it in
Speaker 1: more detail after we talk with Alicia Garcia about thisosteris
Speaker 1: obviously unconstitutional gun grab underway at the state legislature in
Speaker 1: this newly started session. But here's the heads up, and
Speaker 1: that is the judiciary in Colorado right now, meaning all
Speaker 1: the judges and the support staff and everything else, is
Speaker 1: dramatically underfunded and they need a lot more money in
Speaker 1: a hurry for a lot more judges. And if they
Speaker 1: don't get it, it is likely to harm you and
Speaker 1: your family in some way at some point in time,
Speaker 1: in ways that you may never even know. I'm just
Speaker 1: here to tell you it is a true crisis, and
Speaker 1: no matter what party you're a member of, no matter
Speaker 1: what walk of life, this matters gravely to you. So
Speaker 1: I want to bring the issue to your attention, hoping
Speaker 1: you get involved with legislators, etc. Because on the current track,
Speaker 1: the legislature is poised to deny the judiciary what it needs,
Speaker 1: and that would be enormously harmful to you, to this
Speaker 1: state as a whole. So let me get into that
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. But so glad to have
Speaker 1: Alicia with us, because Alicia, we were talking about this
Speaker 1: on the show yesterday as the news broke, and I
Speaker 1: pulled up Senate Bill three and went through it because
Speaker 1: I had to read the language myself, because I thought
Speaker 1: even these far left Colorado Democrats couldn't be this whack,
Speaker 1: but they are, you know, And tell me, if you
Speaker 1: read this bill the same way, it would outlaw detachable magazines.
Speaker 1: So say, you know, so many of us who just
Speaker 1: have this routine common use, you know, firearm. We have
Speaker 1: a handgun and it has a detachable magazine. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you wouldn't be able to buy those anymore.
Speaker 1: If you have them right now, you could keep them,
Speaker 1: oh thank you, Jerrypoas, but you wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: buy them anymore, Alicia, I might reading.
Speaker 5: That bill right, Yeah, Dan, you absolutely are. So it's
Speaker 5: basically any firearm with a detactable magazine. For people out
Speaker 5: there that understand firearms, you realize that most semi automatic
Speaker 5: weapons were guns.
Speaker 6: I know people get really hurt when I say weapons
Speaker 6: when I'm referring.
Speaker 5: To firearms, but it would basically take out seventy to
Speaker 5: ninety percent of the guns that are in common use
Speaker 5: in Colorado, much less the United States right now. And
Speaker 5: so the language says gas operated handguns and or AR
Speaker 5: pistol shotguns with detachable.
Speaker 6: Magazine, which would include common.
Speaker 5: Ar fifteens aks shotguns with you know, mag said, and
Speaker 5: that would you know that infringes on so many rights
Speaker 5: that we have. Not only is just the right to
Speaker 5: self defense, but I think people have gotten so accustomed
Speaker 5: to explaining as to why we're allowed to have firearms
Speaker 5: that they forgot that we shouldn't have to explain in
Speaker 5: the right place.
Speaker 6: This is something that should be an eight as a.
Speaker 5: Human that you have the human right to defend yourself
Speaker 5: from anybody who would intend to harm.
Speaker 6: You, and your way of doing.
Speaker 5: That should not be up for debate by any politician,
Speaker 5: especially those that are protected by these same types of firearms.
Speaker 1: And you make such a great point, which is to
Speaker 1: trying to get us to fall into this trap of
Speaker 1: having to justify our right to our constitutional right. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's bizarre, but listen, when you've got the left in charge,
Speaker 1: you have to fight this, and then you have to
Speaker 1: go to court and Alicia might take on this is
Speaker 1: if this bizarre act Senate Bill three ever became law,
Speaker 1: a court would enjoin it, probably within two minutes of
Speaker 1: the bill being signed. It's so obviously unconstitutional.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think they care about that. I think
Speaker 5: that these people have gotten to the point where they
Speaker 5: have no regard for the oaths and the duties that
Speaker 5: they have. They are exercising their own personal biases. And unfortunately,
Speaker 5: we have Senator Tom Fullivan whose entire senatorial career is
Speaker 5: based upon his anti gun bias. That has been his
Speaker 5: narrative as to why he is involved in these types
Speaker 5: of things.
Speaker 6: So it's very important.
Speaker 5: To point out that these people people are not exercising
Speaker 5: what's in the best interest of public safety. They're exercising
Speaker 5: what they're basing. They're basing their grudges on due to
Speaker 5: unfortunate events that have happened when bad people.
Speaker 1: Do bad things.
Speaker 5: And Colorado and the people of Colorado, especially gun shops
Speaker 5: in the gun community, have become the you know, the
Speaker 5: whipping boy for their grief.
Speaker 1: Well, if you're talking about Tom Sullivan, I mean my
Speaker 1: view on that is, and I represent a lot of
Speaker 1: parents who had their children killed. I will never be
Speaker 1: critical of I will just never be critical of a
Speaker 1: parent who has suffered the loss of a child because
Speaker 1: it's just the worst thing that could ever happen, right
Speaker 1: to anybody. And yeah, I can't even wrap my mind
Speaker 1: around it. But when it comes to the policy involved,
Speaker 1: when it comes to the policy involved, the bottom line is,
Speaker 1: as a matter of public policy, we can never allow
Speaker 1: what he wants to become law to become law right
Speaker 1: because it would take away the common right of self defense.
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't some law to outlaw bazoukas, you know,
Speaker 1: this is a law of the very common Like I
Speaker 1: and so many other people. Right, we just have these
Speaker 1: basic nine millimeter handguns and they have this detachable magazine,
Speaker 1: and you need it in order to protect yourself because
Speaker 1: you know, in Jared Polos's world, in the lefts world,
Speaker 1: what you're reduced to a revolver, you know, when anybody
Speaker 1: conducting a home invasion is virtually certain to have, you know,
Speaker 1: a semi auto with a detachable clip. I mean, how
Speaker 1: do you defend yourself if you're limited to you know,
Speaker 1: six bullets in a cylinder chamber.
Speaker 5: Let's look at the video that we've seen countless times
Speaker 5: on national and local news of the invasion of the
Speaker 5: apartment complex.
Speaker 1: In a world great point.
Speaker 6: Look at the guns that they were representing.
Speaker 1: They had.
Speaker 5: They had heavy duty metal, American heavy metal, they had aks,
Speaker 5: they had all kinds of things. And I don't think
Speaker 5: anybody that was in the video was adult enough to
Speaker 5: have those things or given those things by a gun
Speaker 5: shop or you know, ask them.
Speaker 6: If they followed any of those laws. And those poor
Speaker 6: people that were.
Speaker 5: In that building, defenseless, were swayed to whoever is controlling
Speaker 5: the firepower. And unfortunately, guns are the only thing that
Speaker 5: stands between you know, being forced.
Speaker 6: And being asked, and right now they.
Speaker 5: Are taking the liberty to play to people's emotions and saying,
Speaker 5: you know, these these tools, they're they're you know, they
Speaker 5: are tools of mass destruction. They're they're these awful tools.
Speaker 5: Let me put it to you this way. If these
Speaker 5: tools are so awful, why do they need them to
Speaker 5: protect themselves with them? You know, why do we protect
Speaker 5: politicians and I mean electronics and money with firepower? And
Speaker 5: yet you feel that our lives aren't valuable enough that
Speaker 5: we aren't owed the same ability to do so for
Speaker 5: our children and for our family. And when we're talking
Speaker 5: about magazine said handguns, and you know, magazine said any
Speaker 5: type of firearm. What about let's talk.
Speaker 6: About why these guns are important and who they're important to.
Speaker 5: They're not just tools used by people like you and me.
Speaker 5: They're used by the elderly, they're used by handicapped. They're
Speaker 5: used by people that that is their greatest effort to
Speaker 5: make sure that they are not abuse, raped, beaten, being murdered,
Speaker 5: because that's the abilities they have. And when you take
Speaker 5: those choices away from people, what you're doing is taking
Speaker 5: away their opportunity to stay alive.
Speaker 1: You really are And if.
Speaker 5: They're sitting there saying that it's about the people, and
Speaker 5: it's about the greater public safety. Well what about the
Speaker 5: three million people that the CDC says defend.
Speaker 6: Themselves every year with a handgun?
Speaker 1: And our people, they beautifully said. And what I'd bring
Speaker 1: it back to, Alicia, as we have to close for today,
Speaker 1: is where you started, which is they don't They don't
Speaker 1: have that right to impose that, whether somebody thinks it's
Speaker 1: good public policy or not. And it's horrible public policing
Speaker 1: for the reasons you said, they don't have that right.
Speaker 1: There's a constitutional right to possess common use type firearms,
Speaker 1: and a simple side arm with a detachable magazine is
Speaker 1: as common use as against. Alicia, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: How do people follow you on social or otherwise?
Speaker 5: You can find me on x platform at Boomstick Babe.
Speaker 5: You can find me on my website Boomstickbabe dot com,
Speaker 5: on Instagram at the Boomstick Babe. You can email me
Speaker 5: at Alicia at boomstick Babe dot com. Feel free to
Speaker 5: support me and help me. I really appreciate you guys
Speaker 5: having me on your show today.
Speaker 1: Hey, thank you, Alicia. Look forward to the next conversation
Speaker 1: when we come back, you're happy to follow up on
Speaker 1: that as well. We're having some fun with Polus's latest
Speaker 1: deception in his State of the State today, where he
Speaker 1: kept saying the Free State of Colorado, like he's mister
Speaker 1: freedom right, Okay, put this medicine in your veins, or
Speaker 1: you lose your state job and can't feed your family.
Speaker 1: But the Free State of Colorado unless how do you
Speaker 1: fill in that blank? I say, unless you're a Christian
Speaker 1: who wants to practice your faith. Ask Jack Phillips and
Speaker 1: I'll come back and I'll give you some more detail
Speaker 1: on this big mistake the legislature is about to make,
Speaker 1: and it's about to underfund the judiciary, and I just
Speaker 1: want to explain forty years in the courts how that
Speaker 1: is a real threat to you and your family. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Capitlas.
Speaker 3: Show and now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: So unless fill in the blank. We've had some great
Speaker 1: texts on that. Right, unless you're a fun rancher who
Speaker 1: doesn't want your livestyle eaten by wolves, Free State of Freedom.
Speaker 1: Unless you want cheap eggs, you know that the great
Speaker 1: State of Freedom. Unless you're a Christian who wants to
Speaker 1: practice your Christian faith the faith, asked Jack Phillips about that. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: Jared polus is a theme today of the state of
Speaker 1: the state, the free state of Colorado. Yeah unless, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're free in Colorado to do exactly what Jared Police
Speaker 1: wants you to do and nothing more, nothing less. They've
Speaker 1: made that clear in so many different ways. The ultimate one,
Speaker 1: of course, as a texture pointed out, is you know,
Speaker 1: the free state of Colorado unless you don't want to
Speaker 1: put experimental medicine into your veins. But Jared Paula says,
Speaker 1: if you won't do that, you're going to lose your
Speaker 1: state job, you can't feed your family. So he has
Speaker 1: been the direct opposite of that. So we're having some
Speaker 1: fun with that today. You know, the US Supreme Court
Speaker 1: just denied, as you've probably heard, President Trump's effort to
Speaker 1: stop this obscene and abusive sentencing of him tomorrow, and
Speaker 1: so it will move forward. And I'm as certain as
Speaker 1: I've ever been about any case in history that the
Speaker 1: convictions and I put that in quotes, since his whole
Speaker 1: thing was a sham, that the convictions will be overturned,
Speaker 1: but the sentencing will move forward. Tomorrow, And the irony,
Speaker 1: of course, is that it will just hurt the left
Speaker 1: further and help Trump more because, as we said at
Speaker 1: the time, these charges, these wrongful charges are brought against
Speaker 1: him obviously politically motivated. This will help Donald Trump, it
Speaker 1: will hurt the left, it will help Trump win. Very
Speaker 1: sorry you had to go through it and be put
Speaker 1: through that abuse, and it's a horrible thing for America.
Speaker 1: But Trump will end up winning in large part because
Speaker 1: they pursued these wrongful charges against him, because Americans don't
Speaker 1: want to live in a Banana republic. So what will
Speaker 1: happen with this wrongful sentencing of him tomorrow is Americans
Speaker 1: will be reminded why they don't want the left in power.
Speaker 1: And President Trump, i expect, will handle it very well.
Speaker 1: He's meeting with governors at mar A Lago tonight and
Speaker 1: appears to be from what I can tell from the
Speaker 1: closed caption, and appears to be staying focused on the issues, etc.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll address this in there somewhere. He's only
Speaker 1: human and what's been done to him here is so wrongful.
Speaker 1: But again, fully expect these convictions will eventually be overturned
Speaker 1: and this again will backfire on the left. So we'll
Speaker 1: get back to some more of those great texts the
Speaker 1: Free State of Colorado, unless but I do want to
Speaker 1: alert you to this issue, and that is I'll work
Speaker 1: off a really superbly documented piece in Colorado Politics by
Speaker 1: Michael Carlic Colorado Lawmakers suggests Chief Justice's request for new
Speaker 1: judges may be non starter. And I know this may
Speaker 1: sound like an eyeglazer to you, but I've got to
Speaker 1: tell you this is a really big deal to you
Speaker 1: and to everybody else in Colorado because if our judiciary,
Speaker 1: if our judiciary isn't able to function at the level
Speaker 1: it needs to, it threatens all of us in multiple ways.
Speaker 1: And because, ultimately, listen, all of our personal freedom, like
Speaker 1: your freedom to be to go home tonight rather to jail,
Speaker 1: your freedom to hold on to your property rather than
Speaker 1: have it wrongfully taken. Your freedom in every meaningful respect,
Speaker 1: is dependent upon a functioning judiciary. And I'm just here
Speaker 1: to tell you, you know, I've spent forty years in the court.
Speaker 1: When I try the case last month, and I'm about
Speaker 1: to try a bunch of more cases, I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you that the Colorado Judiciary is so understaffed and so overworked.
Speaker 1: It is amazing we even have judges right now because
Speaker 1: they are so overworked, and it's making it very hard
Speaker 1: to keep judges. It's making it very hard to attract
Speaker 1: new judges. And not only do we need enough, you
Speaker 1: want to keep the quality at the highest possible level,
Speaker 1: right because these are the people with the power to
Speaker 1: make these ultimate life and death decisions, and you just
Speaker 1: want the best you can get, and you want enough
Speaker 1: of them. So it's just suicide for this state to
Speaker 1: not fully fund the judiciary. And they're just asking for
Speaker 1: another thirty judges over a couple of years. And I'm
Speaker 1: just telling you, I know you're working hard. I bet
Speaker 1: I know how hard I work. I'm just telling you
Speaker 1: there are a few people out there who work as
Speaker 1: hard as these judges. And I'm not saying I've loved
Speaker 1: every ruling in every case I've ever seen, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure you haven't. But that's not the point here. The
Speaker 1: point here is you've got to have a functioning judiciary
Speaker 1: and you've got to be able to keep and attract
Speaker 1: great new talent. And we're just killing ourselves if we
Speaker 1: let this fall apart. So just put it on your radar.
Speaker 1: Maybe read Carlik's piece, pay attention to it, think about
Speaker 1: calling your legislator because this is going to be so
Speaker 1: stupid if the legislature doesn't give the judiciary what it's
Speaker 1: asking for here. And yeah, so let's let's hope they
Speaker 1: get it right, but it looks like they're on track
Speaker 1: right now to get it wrong. Eight five five for
Speaker 1: zero five eight two five five the number text d
Speaker 1: an five seven seven three nine. And I understand, we've
Speaker 1: got this budget crisis. We've got this budget crisis because
Speaker 1: the Left is leading the stake to ruin. Just because
Speaker 1: you have a budget crisis, I mean, you wouldn't say, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're going to shut off our water filtration plants, or
Speaker 1: we're not going to build new water filtration plants that
Speaker 1: we need, or we're not going to have police that
Speaker 1: we need, or we're not going to have fire that
Speaker 1: we need. Having enough judges and keeping the quality up
Speaker 1: is it's just every bit as important as all of that.
Speaker 1: So just give it some thought. Eight five five for
Speaker 1: zero five eight two five five techs d A N
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine. Ryan, do you have a
Speaker 1: favorite of the Free State of Colorado? Unless do you
Speaker 1: have a favorite.
Speaker 2: There there your example of on the roads with the
Speaker 2: lawsuit against the big eighteen wheeler out of control. You
Speaker 2: know anybody else does that, but can Gard Kardashian puts
Speaker 2: in a call for you, right, you know that's the
Speaker 2: most egregious example, the most annoying example.
Speaker 1: I think the eggs the egg and of course Jared
Speaker 1: Polus telling you, no, you got to stick this medicine
Speaker 1: in your veins or we're firing you. You're losing your
Speaker 1: steak job, your ability to feed your family. Right, So
Speaker 1: what a phony. It's just a consummate phony. But give
Speaker 1: us fun topic today. We didn't have enough time to
Speaker 1: talk sports. Please don't bet on this. Even though I'm
Speaker 1: write a scary amount of the time, I've got to
Speaker 1: believe Notre Dame's gonna win big tonight in Ohio State.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we'll talk more about that. Thanks for being here,
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly, join us tomorrow on The Dan Kapla Show.
