Speaker 1: This is Dan Caples 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. And I planned
Speaker 1: to have a lot of fun today. I'm glad you're
Speaker 1: here for it. Three oh three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five the number text d A M five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. And I think it's fair to say
Speaker 1: the fun is back right since Trump one. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, for you, for me, for Ryan, for everyday,
Speaker 1: We've always been having a lot of fun, right, So
Speaker 1: we're just we're just having more fun now. So how
Speaker 1: about we say more fun is back since Trump one?
Speaker 1: So some really good ways to enjoy that today. Gabe
Speaker 1: Evans is going to join us five point thirty six.
Speaker 1: He is a congressman obviously from Colorado. Won that really
Speaker 1: tough race up in CDA, and pretty good thing he did, right,
Speaker 1: so we have a Republican House. But even better, he's
Speaker 1: really good. And that is a cool thing right now
Speaker 1: in Colorado because you look at these Republicans who've won
Speaker 1: and they're really good. So that helps in so many
Speaker 1: different ways, So it'd be great to have Gabe here
Speaker 1: with us. At five three six, Jimmy SANGENBERGERL do a
Speaker 1: drop sometimes soon because there's a big hearing in Federal
Speaker 1: Court in Denver today. There's a superstar young federal judge
Speaker 1: getting a lot of attention from around the country. His
Speaker 1: name's Dan Dominico. He sits on the trial bench. And
Speaker 1: as you know, when we talk about federal courts, a
Speaker 1: lot of these stories you're hearing these days are from
Speaker 1: the federal appellate level called the circuit circuit courts, Federal
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals, etc. And then you have federal judges.
Speaker 1: When you hear okay, federal judge did this or that,
Speaker 1: they're normally talking about trial level judges. And normally somebody
Speaker 1: becomes a judge anywhere really, but a judge in the
Speaker 1: federal court system, a trial court judge.
Speaker 2: Those are really.
Speaker 1: Really impressive, high powered people, and Judge Dominico really standing out,
Speaker 1: and he handed down an important ruling day in DPS
Speaker 1: going after the Trump administration. So Jimmy Sangenberger at four
Speaker 1: point thirty six, spoiler alert, I think you're gonna like
Speaker 1: it at least I hope you like it, because if
Speaker 1: you like it, it means you're thinking right about this stuff.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean right versus left, I mean right
Speaker 1: versus wrong. You can text us, Dan five seven, seven
Speaker 1: thirty nine. First text. What's the price for that today, Ryan?
Speaker 1: Ten thousand dollars. No, it's not not for me, that's
Speaker 1: not In fact, you get nothing for that other than
Speaker 1: the satisfaction of.
Speaker 2: Writing it, and nothing like it.
Speaker 1: The shorter, Yeah, I can't tell you how many times
Speaker 1: I've heard that the shorter the text is the better.
Speaker 2: Yes, brevity is the soul of wit.
Speaker 1: Oh, especially text, because you know we're whipping through these critters.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so many of the great talk
Speaker 1: show hosts these days, including you, Ryan, right, are pretty
Speaker 1: much text only now right for pace of show. I'm
Speaker 1: kind of a dinosaur when it comes to preferring calls.
Speaker 1: But what percentage of the shows would you say these
Speaker 1: days are our text only?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: Mine, but that's not by choice. I know, Eric, who's
Speaker 3: a very loyal listener, is awesome. He calls this show out.
Speaker 3: He'd love to call my show. I would love Eric
Speaker 3: to call my show. Yeah, but I don't have the
Speaker 3: regular presence.
Speaker 2: I don't have a me to you that would be
Speaker 2: a oh you don't have a Ryan.
Speaker 3: No, well it's helpful, I think, Oh, my goodness, not
Speaker 3: that regular person. So because I can't commit to that
Speaker 3: on the regular item, Oh, we're taking calls today, but
Speaker 3: not today.
Speaker 1: And speaking of which, Ryan, yes, sir, that there are
Speaker 1: some really deprived people in the world who do not have.
Speaker 2: Their own Ryan.
Speaker 1: I want to throw an idea out there today. Maybe
Speaker 1: people could text some suggestions. I am such a lucky guy.
Speaker 1: I just I'm a trial lawyer. I love trying cases.
Speaker 1: I love my clients. It's it's just such a privilege
Speaker 1: and a rush to go up there and be able
Speaker 1: to try case. And I have literally I have seven
Speaker 1: seven big trials upcoming, all of which are going none
Speaker 1: of them are going to settle. And so as we've
Speaker 1: been working on lining up some folks to uh to
Speaker 1: sit in, you know, we're going to have the tremendous
Speaker 1: talents that we normally do, and we're putting that schedule together.
Speaker 1: But I'd like to add somebody new. So if you've
Speaker 1: got an idea, somebody you think would just be a
Speaker 1: great talk radio host, a great sub host, we'd like
Speaker 1: to add somebody fresh to the lineup as I head
Speaker 1: into this run of trials. And it's not like I'm
Speaker 1: going to disappear for three months in a row here.
Speaker 1: I mean, these trials are spread out between now and
Speaker 1: the end of the year. But seven that are going.
Speaker 1: So I got seven and.
Speaker 3: You know, you never know that one time you've got
Speaker 3: seven if you haven't.
Speaker 1: More that at any oh no, And you know the
Speaker 1: reality of civil trial law, my friend, is that it
Speaker 1: is so so hard to get to trial because in
Speaker 1: civil right, if they end up paying your client fully,
Speaker 1: that case isn't going to trial, right, And there are
Speaker 1: some exceptions to that right, because there are some cases
Speaker 1: we do which are just cases about public safety, public interest, etc.
Speaker 1: Where you know, no matter what they offer, that case
Speaker 1: is going to trial because the facts need to be
Speaker 1: public and everybody needs to see it. And the client,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes the client walks in and says, Dan,
Speaker 1: I don't care, I don't care what they offer, how
Speaker 1: much they're going to pay. I want to go to trial.
Speaker 1: I want this case tried. I want the public to
Speaker 1: see everything. And so yeah, no matter what they offer,
Speaker 1: sometimes those cases go to trial. For the most part though,
Speaker 1: when the defendant has eventually forced the insurance company to
Speaker 1: step up and pay fully, those cases will settle, right.
Speaker 1: So so on the civil side, when you reach that
Speaker 1: point where they're just going to pay you fully because
Speaker 1: they know they're going to get pounded if they don't,
Speaker 1: it's hard to get to trial, my friends. So this
Speaker 1: is a real alignment of the stars that I am
Speaker 1: just very grateful for that. Yeah, seven in a row,
Speaker 1: so you can have you can have some really good
Speaker 1: trial lawyers who get to trial once or twice a
Speaker 1: year or maybe not even that. But so for a
Speaker 1: guy like me, that's like you get to go do
Speaker 1: seven Super Bowls in a row. So it's going to
Speaker 1: be fascinating. Do you have any ideas, somebody, just because
Speaker 1: we've got such a great lineup of star talent who's
Speaker 1: going to be sitting in during those trials and everybody,
Speaker 1: I think knows who those folks are if you listen
Speaker 1: to this show and we're lining them up and and
Speaker 1: grateful they're going to be.
Speaker 2: Able to do it.
Speaker 1: An idea for somebody fresh and new, let's.
Speaker 2: Brainstorm a little bit.
Speaker 3: So I imagine the usual suspects would include Heidigan all Yes,
Speaker 3: Christy Britton Brown, Yes, John Kelderrea is always a good
Speaker 3: go to. Yeah, John c Icon, he is Independence Institute.
Speaker 3: Can George Brockle or even do anyway?
Speaker 1: I don't think he does, but I think he agreed
Speaker 1: to do one day. I think he's going to do
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth.
Speaker 2: That'll be fine.
Speaker 1: Is another one for Flora yea and for sure any
Speaker 1: other one much talent.
Speaker 2: Well, Kelly should do it. I would love that.
Speaker 1: Seven tups you. He can't because of the Dea stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't know he can't. He can't an I wanted
Speaker 1: him to do it a while back. I think in
Speaker 1: that job he Kennedy, Yeah, I got is one of
Speaker 1: the first people.
Speaker 2: I asked, damn dude, I got it. Yeah. Peter Boyles.
Speaker 1: Happens to be at the different station, of which thanks
Speaker 1: for reminded me, because I'm going to be on with
Speaker 1: him tomorrow morning on his show, Okay, I think at
Speaker 1: nine o'clock talking about this Columbine story. So yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that that would be awesome, certainly, but I don't think
Speaker 1: he can do that since he's on a different station.
Speaker 1: I didn't know Dick Watdams is going to do a
Speaker 1: show yeap or two.
Speaker 2: Human lightning rod.
Speaker 1: Oh no, but that's what you're after, right, yeah, not
Speaker 1: these goofballs who come in and and just to get attention,
Speaker 1: they'll set their hair on fire around naked like that
Speaker 1: lady on the plane. You see that, the naked lady
Speaker 1: on the plane. Oh man, they had to land the plane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did see that viral. Yeah yeah, Oh my lord.
Speaker 1: It just brought a flashback. Yeah. So oh, just this
Speaker 1: time and college and you got you have to understand,
Speaker 1: my friend. When I was in college, my first maybe
Speaker 1: my first three full years, maybe the fourth, I fully
Speaker 1: intended to go back to the seminary. So while I
Speaker 1: would date and everything else, I was I was planning
Speaker 1: to go back to the seminary. And so I just
Speaker 1: had a flashback to I got up one day and
Speaker 1: I walked into my shower and there's there's this naked
Speaker 1: female who I did not know.
Speaker 2: Would you like to know her?
Speaker 1: No? No, I was, I was head up to the seminary.
Speaker 1: I was heading to the seminary. I I was in
Speaker 1: college to get my college education on the wonderful event scholarship,
Speaker 1: and I was going back to be a priest. That
Speaker 1: was the plan at that point.
Speaker 3: I think even God has a sense of humor, and
Speaker 3: that might have been hell, you know, it'd have been
Speaker 3: a test.
Speaker 1: It was a back of a test, the back of
Speaker 1: a test.
Speaker 3: My friend.
Speaker 1: But I passed that. When there have been others I
Speaker 1: have not, but I passed.
Speaker 2: That with our human Did I ever tell you?
Speaker 1: And I got at this break and then we'll go
Speaker 1: Kevin and Fort Morgan as a host suggestion, I ever
Speaker 1: tell you the very first young lady I met on
Speaker 1: the Sioux campus. Come out from the seminary, high school seminary,
Speaker 1: come out to see you, and I'm crossing the street
Speaker 1: onto campus my very first time, and I loved every
Speaker 1: day up there. I ever tell you about the first
Speaker 1: person I ever met, first female I ever met on
Speaker 1: the Sioux campus.
Speaker 2: I think I remember this one.
Speaker 3: Was going to tell it again, tell that's always it
Speaker 3: bears retelling. I get it because she bore all.
Speaker 1: Beautiful, young apparent co ed with absolutely not a stitch on.
Speaker 1: And I just remember crossing the street and thinking I'm
Speaker 1: not in the seminary anymore. But yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Gott admire the confidence. Got admire her confidence.
Speaker 1: Oh it was extraordinary, yeah, right, three seven, three eight,
Speaker 1: two five five takes d a N five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine, And.
Speaker 3: Now back to the Dan Kamplass Show podcast that TikTok chat.
Speaker 2: I don't even know where to begin. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: why this is necessary.
Speaker 3: I mean, there is like serious stuff happening in this country,
Speaker 3: but that seems to be just inviting ridicule.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Democrats, the gift that keep on giving, right,
Speaker 1: they are just so totally off balance as they should be,
Speaker 1: right because it's all falling apart from them as it
Speaker 1: should three out three seven three eight two five five
Speaker 1: The number text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: So we're talking about everything under the sun to day.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, we lost Kevin from Fort Morgan. I was
Speaker 1: going to go there next. Because one of the things
Speaker 1: we're kicking around is, you know, we have this kind
Speaker 1: of star lineup of filling hosts when I'm in Troll
Speaker 1: and I've got seven jury trials between now and the
Speaker 1: end of the year that are certain to go, and
Speaker 1: so we're looking to add another guest host. All our
Speaker 1: usual superstars are on board and they're going to be
Speaker 1: filling in, but we just wanted to add somebody fresh.
Speaker 1: So we've been kicking around some ideas. Dan guests toast
Speaker 1: the Colonel Cory. Oh nice, Yeah, excellent suggestion. I thought
Speaker 1: for a second, what's that, Colonel Kurt Dale.
Speaker 2: He's told him that's what we mean. Oh, I got confused.
Speaker 1: That is a tremendous idea, Kurt Dale. If you're new
Speaker 1: to the show, thanks for being here. But if you're
Speaker 1: new this show, We've got this great regular caller, Colonel
Speaker 1: Kurt and he's an American hero, military hero, and he's
Speaker 1: you know, he's getting up there in years now, but
Speaker 1: he he has some amazing stories to tell. When he
Speaker 1: was the hero of the game at the Nuggets game
Speaker 1: one night, that is the loudest I've ever heard that arena,
Speaker 1: other than I think during the game where they won
Speaker 1: the NBA championship and he came out there. He came
Speaker 1: out there with this full Air Force uniform on it
Speaker 1: and his walker. It was so cool. Dan, Peter Boyles
Speaker 1: was on your show once, so he can do it again.
Speaker 1: I love him forever, Donna, and that that's a very
Speaker 1: popular suggestion. I'll ask Pete. I'm gonna be on his
Speaker 1: show tomorrow just after nine am talking about this Columbine thing,
Speaker 1: so I'll ask him if he's able to do this one,
Speaker 1: So the colonel. Another suggestion for the colonel, doctor Brian
Speaker 1: June depth filled in for someone once. Okay, that's a
Speaker 1: good suggestion. Neighborhood, right, Yes, that's an excellent suggestion. I
Speaker 1: think this maybe tongue in cheek here, Putin would be
Speaker 1: a great guest toast. He could tell the truth instead
Speaker 1: of the.
Speaker 2: Lies you tell.
Speaker 1: Thank God for Trump and Putin. I would sure like
Speaker 1: to meet that texture I text because but you know,
Speaker 1: I got to tell you and we all know it.
Speaker 1: I actually met some true Satanists once, and I and
Speaker 1: Putin to me is Satan on earth. So if there
Speaker 1: are going to be some Satanists, then there are probably
Speaker 1: some Putin lovers.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 1: How about Kelly filling in for you one of these days.
Speaker 1: It's not the first vote for her, that would be
Speaker 1: and it won't be the last. Yeah, that would be.
Speaker 2: I would love for her to have that opportunity.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I don't know if she could keep it like under
Speaker 2: r rated though, well you would have to.
Speaker 1: She's got salty language. You would have to keep her.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Kevin and Fort Morgan, our prayers are answered.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kapla show. How you doing Kevin?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 2: Are you guys doing this? I got it all?
Speaker 5: Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Here, let me get my pen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, write it down a Craig Craig Silverman.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that is a great suggestion. Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: Excellent suggestion. Yeah, Ryan, give Craig a call if you wish.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent suggestion, Man, Thank you, my friend. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: about hold on? What about ever hear that story? What
Speaker 1: about Sheriff? Steve reams?
Speaker 2: Oh, tremendous, just solid. Yeah, that is solid.
Speaker 1: I would love for text him right now if he'd
Speaker 1: be willing to do a show.
Speaker 2: Nobody's listening, sape. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know what's always a little bit of a
Speaker 1: challenge is if you're if you're actually guest hosting, then
Speaker 1: you've got to get the mechanics down a little bit
Speaker 1: in here. But that is obviously not rocket science. Since
Speaker 1: I can do it and you would be here, you're
Speaker 1: going to be here to help anybody about Yeah, please
Speaker 1: see if the sheriff can do it, that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: Here here's another chicken dinner winter winter, uh Dan for
Speaker 1: a guest host called Wayne Logison at the Gazette in
Speaker 1: Colorado Springs. That is a no blank and brainer. So
Speaker 1: we will definitely, uh definitely invite Wayne dan suggestions, Jared Polist,
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, how do you think? And maybe I just
Speaker 1: want I need to ask the folks we work for.
Speaker 1: I need to ask the listeners. How would you feel
Speaker 1: about that if we just had some lefty hosts the
Speaker 1: show someday? Now, we've had lots of lefty Craig. I
Speaker 1: brought Craig on the show, did a point counterpoint for years.
Speaker 1: But to just have a lefty host the show herself
Speaker 1: for himself, how do you think people would feel about that?
Speaker 3: I think Jared Poulis is looking to get in that
Speaker 3: arena much the same way that Governor Gavin Newsom has
Speaker 3: done with this podcast, and maybe he'd do it. It'd
Speaker 3: be hilarious, it'd be awesome.
Speaker 1: I don't mean this disrespectfully, but who's going to listen
Speaker 1: to Polis?
Speaker 2: I think they get a lot of calls.
Speaker 1: I bet now, who on the left could do a
Speaker 1: show that people would listen to? Newsome? I think people
Speaker 1: would listen to. Who in Colorado on the left would
Speaker 1: people listen to? Boy, I know who they'd listen.
Speaker 2: To, Michael Betett.
Speaker 1: No, oh no, I but I bet people on the
Speaker 1: I bet, and it wouldn't be conservative. Some conservatives would
Speaker 1: remember Leslie Harrod because she had the courage to come
Speaker 1: on the show as a guest when she had one
Speaker 1: of the worst bills in Colorado history, which Polis made
Speaker 1: his top priority, a bill that would have criminalized most
Speaker 1: really serious crimes many I should say, very serious second crimes, violence, crimes,
Speaker 1: et cetera, in public schools in Colorado. But I will
Speaker 1: always credit her for being willing to come on the show,
Speaker 1: and we had the back and forth. But she's she's
Speaker 1: a smart, articulate, flamethrower type.
Speaker 2: I bet she.
Speaker 1: I bet she could succeed as a talk show host.
Speaker 1: Another suggestion, Mark Major, Sure, hey, Mark could do any
Speaker 1: show Mike Rosen, What.
Speaker 2: A great idea. I think that's an eight plus choice
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 1: I think he'd do it like a one off comeback
Speaker 1: Randy Corporate.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I bet we could get Mike to commit
Speaker 2: and do a show.
Speaker 1: I'd like to do a show with.
Speaker 3: Him, right, But even if like this trial, it's taken
Speaker 3: you away and just as like a plug and play.
Speaker 3: Uh oh yeah, you of coming attractions like, yeah, that
Speaker 3: he would come back and do a dual show with you.
Speaker 1: Yes, and you know what it'd be cool about rosen Is.
Speaker 1: I bet we have a decent number of folks in
Speaker 1: the audience who moved here after Mike left air. Mike Rosan,
Speaker 1: if you're a nut, all this Mike Mike Crows and
Speaker 1: iconic talk show host in Denver. He was on the
Speaker 1: blow tourch eight fifty k a way forever, enormous audience. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and filled in for Rush once or twice he did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Be the pinnacle of his career.
Speaker 2: Oh, I just thought of another one.
Speaker 1: I thought of another one, John Fabrica toy. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: another John fab Fabbs. Yes, a lot of Randy corporate
Speaker 1: votes there. Oh, dream show Craig and George co hosting.
Speaker 1: You know, I would love to co host a show
Speaker 1: with Craig again, at least once or twice. But did
Speaker 1: I ever tell you a story how close we were to
Speaker 1: putting that show back together. No, yeah, we got we
Speaker 1: got on a Friday, We got within one corporate approval
Speaker 1: of having that show back together. And then yeah, it
Speaker 1: had a very very close did not happen. Unfortunately, that
Speaker 1: would have been history.
Speaker 2: That would have been great butterfly effect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if anybody has any suggestions, we have much
Speaker 1: more to talk about today. There's a lot going on
Speaker 1: in the world, as you might imagine, and at Denver
Speaker 1: Institution changing its name. This isn't important, but I think
Speaker 1: you're going to find it really interesting. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla.
Speaker 3: Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: I am not accustomed to helping your party do anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but let me give you some advice. This was
Speaker 2: the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: And if you read the comments today, lord to have mercy.
Speaker 2: Look, scrambling for.
Speaker 1: New social media and communications strategies is not a replacement
Speaker 1: for fixing what's actually wrong.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if he's a future president. Scott Jennings
Speaker 1: on CNN. And that's one thing about all this, right,
Speaker 1: you get these guys and gals, they go out and
Speaker 1: they do the media stuff and they get those communication skills,
Speaker 1: because hey, it's just like you know, choosing a quarterback.
Speaker 1: You know, the quarterback has to have three four different skills.
Speaker 1: But unless you got the arm that's not going to
Speaker 1: work out. And unless you got the communication skills all
Speaker 1: the other stuff, yeah, you're never going to be that
Speaker 1: effective or successful. So that's why you see these people
Speaker 1: who who they have that and then they're able to
Speaker 1: go parlay it into other stuff, and I think Jennings
Speaker 1: is one of them. We'll get back to all of
Speaker 1: our callers. One of the topics that we've woven in
Speaker 1: today that's really taken off is just suggestions on a
Speaker 1: great fill in hosts. I've got seven Jerry Trial's coming
Speaker 1: up between now and the end of the year that
Speaker 1: are certain to go, and we already have an all
Speaker 1: star lineup. In fact, Jimmy Sangeberger's one of them, but
Speaker 1: we want to add a couple of fresh faces. Speaking
Speaker 1: of fresh faces, Jimmy, I have a feeling when they
Speaker 1: bury you at one hundred and twenty, people are going
Speaker 1: to say, what happened to this poor twelve year old? Right?
Speaker 2: Have you aged a day in your life?
Speaker 1: You're you're like frozen in time? What's that movie Benjamin Button?
Speaker 5: That is one of the things when I was younger,
Speaker 5: my mom said, one day, Jimmy, it will pay off.
Speaker 5: And I feel like in my thirties.
Speaker 1: It is oh I must yeah, because what do you
Speaker 1: think you look like?
Speaker 2: What age?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Goodness, now on late twenties. Yeah, I would say I
Speaker 5: finally look closer to my age, but I always keep
Speaker 5: looking closer to my age.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It is a great skill, my friend. So, hey, thanks
Speaker 1: for being down in a federal court today. This really impressive,
Speaker 1: talked about young conservative trial Judge Dan Domenico. Folks about
Speaker 1: the hearing today and the outcome.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so this is Denver Public Schools had challenged the
Speaker 5: Department of Homeland Security in federal court, saying, Hey, this policy.
Speaker 6: That you have that is allowing for more latitude for
Speaker 6: ICE to make arrests or engage in operations dealing with
Speaker 6: illegal immigration enforcement at or near.
Speaker 5: Schools, bus stops, these so called sensitive or protective locations,
Speaker 5: we think that needs to go. That it's arbitrary and capricious,
Speaker 5: and we want to better understand the reasoning behind this.
Speaker 5: So Judge Domenico, please give us an injunction, a temporary
Speaker 5: injunction or preliminary injunction to stop this in its tracks
Speaker 5: and give us a chance to understand the reasoning for
Speaker 5: why the administration was doing this. Now, This was changing
Speaker 5: policy from twenty twenty one under Biden that basically said,
Speaker 5: if you have an arrest to make or an operation
Speaker 5: to undergo, you have to that is at or near school.
Speaker 5: You have to go to headquarters in where DC or
Speaker 5: wherever ICE headquarters is and get permission to do that. Basically,
Speaker 5: what Trump is doing is saying no, Instead, We're going
Speaker 5: to allow some latitude and discrete to the local offices
Speaker 5: so that the field directors and the folks there can
Speaker 5: make a determination on the ground if this is appropriate.
Speaker 5: And to this point, Dan, now two plus months into
Speaker 5: the or nearly two months rather into the Trump administration,
Speaker 5: there has been no operation in a school, just one
Speaker 5: that was within a mile of several schools in DPS
Speaker 5: at an apartment complex. So that kind of set it
Speaker 5: up for you a little bit.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha? And obviously the administration has to have that option.
Speaker 1: You can't be sending the message to people who have
Speaker 1: committed other crimes that they can find safe space in
Speaker 1: a school. So where did the court come down?
Speaker 5: So Judge Domenico specifically said, I think I'm going to
Speaker 5: do what I don't normally do, which is issue a
Speaker 5: ruling on the bench, so I can explain my thinking
Speaker 5: a little bit more, and ultimately he concluded, after hearing
Speaker 5: about half hour arguments from both DPS's lawyers and the
Speaker 5: Department of Homeland Security two main conclusions. One, he thinks
Speaker 5: that DPS is unlikely to show that they have standing
Speaker 5: to challenge this particular change because of who the harms
Speaker 5: actually affect. DPS was saying, hey, look, it's depressing attendance
Speaker 5: because students are scared, families are scared that there might
Speaker 5: be arrests on schools. And he's like, that's not going on,
Speaker 5: and that's not.
Speaker 6: Something that's a different sort of situation.
Speaker 5: Then his second biggest thing is he says much of
Speaker 5: the injury relied on here by DPS is speculative based
Speaker 5: on fears of future actions, as the government argued, those
Speaker 5: kinds of harms are typically not enough for this. He
Speaker 5: was very wary of issuing what they were asking for,
Speaker 5: which was.
Speaker 4: A nationwide injunction on this, saying, look, this just does
Speaker 4: not meet the bars that is necessary legally, and also
Speaker 4: the issue Jews that are involved here aren't really traceable
Speaker 4: to the action that you're challenging.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, very solid and did Jimmy, appreciate the update
Speaker 1: on that. You're going to write a column on it.
Speaker 5: I will from two Denver.
Speaker 1: We will be reading it. Thanks your time today, my friend.
Speaker 5: All right, Dan, and thanks for bringing some youth onto
Speaker 5: the show.
Speaker 1: Thanks jim you take care. I think Jimmy was referring
Speaker 1: to me. It's someday we'll have to do a show
Speaker 1: on that, because I do think one of the big
Speaker 1: changes we've seen in life over the last twenty thirty
Speaker 1: years is age is much much, much less relevant than
Speaker 1: it used to be.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Part of that's medical advances, attitudes, you know, lifestyle, health stuff,
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. But yeah, you get so many people,
Speaker 1: you get so many of these seventy year olds, even
Speaker 1: some eighty year olds who are more like fifty year olds.
Speaker 1: And then you're still going to get the Joe Biden types, right,
Speaker 1: who are eighty when they're fifty. But yeah, just much
Speaker 1: less relevant. I mean, yeah eight five or zero five
Speaker 1: A two five five takes d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine.
Speaker 2: Got some updates please?
Speaker 3: Both John Fabricatory and Sheriff Steve Reims say they are
Speaker 3: all in their enthusiastic.
Speaker 1: Good I am very glad to hear that. Another suggestion
Speaker 1: Dan Gabe Evans. I don't think Gabe could do it,
Speaker 1: because maybe he could, we'll ask him, but he would
Speaker 1: be fantastic.
Speaker 2: Could be with us at five thirty six.
Speaker 1: By the way, talk about his very very effective questioning
Speaker 1: of Mayor Mike Johnston. You know, I I am really
Speaker 1: that wrong. In fact, I kind of pride myself on
Speaker 1: my batting average, but I was just dead wrong about
Speaker 1: being unable to lay a glove on Mike Johnston in
Speaker 1: this congressional hearing because of the format. I mean, as
Speaker 1: I said over and over again, the questioners are going
Speaker 1: to be really good, but the format is awful because
Speaker 1: he don't have a judge to order the witness to
Speaker 1: answer the question. The questioners only have five minutes. But boy,
Speaker 1: we saw some questioners do really effective stuff, including Congressman Evans,
Speaker 1: who joins us at five thirty six, and Congressoman Bobert
Speaker 1: as well. I mean she she came right out of
Speaker 1: the gate with penning Johnston down. And he always hides
Speaker 1: behind these state laws. Oh we got to follow state Lowell,
Speaker 1: will you join me in changing the state law? Hell no,
Speaker 1: heck no, he said. I mean, some really effective stuff.
Speaker 1: I personally, I was real impressed with the level of
Speaker 1: preparation of the questioners, and I think they accomplished a lot.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know who didn't accomplish a lot?
Speaker 3: Dan Hm, the law firm that was paid two million
Speaker 3: dollars to prepare him for the questioning.
Speaker 1: As I suggested before. My own belief is I don't
Speaker 1: think they're paid two million dollars to, you know, prepare
Speaker 1: them for the questioning. My dearly departed Reggie are great
Speaker 1: dead dog could have prepared him for the questioning. I
Speaker 1: think they got paid the money to try to keep
Speaker 1: their rear ends out of the ringers legally.
Speaker 3: Did you hear Mayor Mike Johnston divulge why that always paid?
Speaker 3: He said it was in case the Congressional Committee subpoena
Speaker 3: documents from the Mayor's office and from the Denver City Council,
Speaker 3: et cetera.
Speaker 2: So they need the legal represent to provide cover for them.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that for a second. Personal that's what
Speaker 1: he said, and maybe it's true, but I know, I
Speaker 1: think what they're they're looking down the road. They saw
Speaker 1: what happened with DOJ going after the State of New
Speaker 1: York and the governor, and they are expecting DOJ to
Speaker 1: come after the mayor and the city for the same
Speaker 1: kind of sanctuary city policies in my constitutionally protected opinion.
Speaker 1: So anyway, yeah, if you have any suggestions, I love that. Again,
Speaker 1: we're blessed with this all star line and fulfilling host,
Speaker 1: but we always try to add some new talent, and
Speaker 1: Lord knows there's plenty out there.
Speaker 2: I want me go back.
Speaker 1: I do want to get into some of the other
Speaker 1: important news today. President Trump going off on Russia. I
Speaker 1: want to get that to you. And what do you
Speaker 1: think he's teasing? Oh, speaking of teases, I blew it
Speaker 1: in this segment, Ryan, why didn't you or Kelly throw
Speaker 1: something at It's my fault. Yeah, you know at talk radio,
Speaker 1: and when you tease something into a segment, you got
Speaker 1: to deliver on it. And I even made a note
Speaker 1: to myself and I blew it before we came into
Speaker 1: this segment. I teased major Denver Institution has changed its name,
Speaker 1: so I'll deliver on that.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Do you see that the Dumb Friends League has changed
Speaker 1: its name? And my only question would be, what took
Speaker 1: it so long? Denver Dumb's Friend Dumb Friends League. Maybe
Speaker 1: I should be in there. I can't even say it.
Speaker 1: Denver Dumb Friend's League, animal charity, change his name? Did
Speaker 1: they have to put animal charity in the headline? Did
Speaker 1: they really think somebody was going to think there was
Speaker 1: a business or an organization Denver Dumb Friend's League that
Speaker 1: was not an animal charity.
Speaker 3: I think we all have some dumb friends, though, but
Speaker 3: speak for yourself, my friend, and not my dumb friend,
Speaker 3: my very smart friend. Dumb Friends League officially dumped its
Speaker 3: century old name Friday, announcing it's rebranding as.
Speaker 1: Humane Colorado. Humane Colorado. So I never did understand. Maybe
Speaker 1: we can find the origin of the Denver Dumb Friends
Speaker 1: League name to begin with. Never understood that because I
Speaker 1: think we all know many many animals seem smarter than
Speaker 1: a lot of people. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1: That guy sounds sad.
Speaker 2: We was doing that.
Speaker 1: Years ago, so see I could cure it in his voice,
Speaker 1: and that is sad, so sad.
Speaker 3: Well, the song was dumb, so.
Speaker 1: Few during ads like thing. Yeah, because we just did
Speaker 1: that story that it just changed the name. The name's
Speaker 1: been around one hundred years Denver Dumb Friend's League, and
Speaker 1: they've changed it to what did I say, Umane Colorado.
Speaker 2: That's original name Colorado.
Speaker 1: It's extremely original, and I was I was doing a
Speaker 1: little research during the break and it looks like the
Speaker 1: whole Dumb Friends League thing goes back one hundred years
Speaker 1: to when animals were the dumb ment.
Speaker 2: Mut Yeah, dumb, daff and mute. But I'm still a
Speaker 2: dumb name.
Speaker 3: It's it's dumber now because isn't there going to create
Speaker 3: massive confusion with the Humane Society, which is a totally
Speaker 3: separate organization, right right.
Speaker 1: That's that's you're barking up the right track.
Speaker 2: Oh there are you? Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It so, uh, Texter, I want to get to some
Speaker 1: of these news stories too, But we had asked folks
Speaker 1: if they had suggestions for, uh, some fill in hosts,
Speaker 1: and we obviously have a superstar lineup and we'll be
Speaker 1: involving all of those tremendous talents over the next few
Speaker 1: months because I have I have seven jury trials between
Speaker 1: now in the end of the year that at this
Speaker 1: point appear all certain to go. So they are not
Speaker 1: going to happen at once. The longest of those is
Speaker 1: a three week trial that starts September second, but then
Speaker 1: they're kind of spread out throughout the year. So we
Speaker 1: just wanted to add a couple of fresh faces. And
Speaker 1: we're getting some amazing suggestions thanks to Erica's suggestion Stephan Tubbs,
Speaker 1: and believe me, I reached out to Stephan as soon
Speaker 1: as he left competing station, but now that he's with
Speaker 1: the DEA, he cannot do it.
Speaker 2: Apparently.
Speaker 1: Douglas County Sheriff a Weekly excellent suggestion as well. I
Speaker 1: wanted to get to this news story and make a
Speaker 1: suggestion on this a tweet from the President based on
Speaker 1: the fact that Russia is absolutely quote pounding Ukraine on
Speaker 1: the battlefield right now. I am strongly considering large scale
Speaker 1: banking sanctions and tariffs on Russia until a cease fire
Speaker 1: and final settlement agreement on peaces reach to Russia and
Speaker 1: Ukraine get to the table right now before it's too late.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I think President Trump right now should absolutely hammer Russia
Speaker 1: with sanctions, Absolutely hammer Russia. Clearly Russia is trying to
Speaker 1: take advantage of the President being firm with Selenski right now,
Speaker 1: and there was just a horrific bombardment in Ukraine today,
Speaker 1: So I think the president needs to do that. I'm
Speaker 1: glad to see that tweet, and I hope he does
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: I like seeing him talk tough to both sides, Dan,
Speaker 2: and like you said.
Speaker 3: Russia can't get too comfortable thinking he is like sympathetic
Speaker 3: to their cause.
Speaker 2: He wants the end of this war.
Speaker 3: And he said that he views himself as a mediator,
Speaker 3: as and arbiter, as somebody that can kind of make
Speaker 3: this whole thing come to an end.
Speaker 2: And I'm with you.
Speaker 3: Hammer Russia with sanctions make them hurt even more than
Speaker 3: they already are, because they've lost a lot of men
Speaker 3: in this war Russia has already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But obviously part of being satan for Putin is
Speaker 1: he doesn't care how many He doesn't care how many
Speaker 1: grieving mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers. He just
Speaker 1: doesn't care because he's satan. And when we talk about
Speaker 1: him er both sides. I get your point in terms
Speaker 1: of a strategy to get peace, but I think it's
Speaker 1: always worth remembering that these two sides are not equivalent.
Speaker 1: One's an invader and one was invaded, you know, And
Speaker 1: there's clear wrong and there's clear right. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: Selenski or Ukraine are perfect. I think Selensky was horrific
Speaker 1: in the Oval Office last week, and Trump was brilliant,
Speaker 1: Fans was brilliant. Selensky did a grave to service to
Speaker 1: his nation. But it is Putin who is evil. It
Speaker 1: is Putin who invaded. But in terms of at this point, yeah,
Speaker 1: Selensky having to understand that the US is not going
Speaker 1: to pour unlimited amounts of money into what is an
Speaker 1: unwinnable war unless Europe is willing to put boots on
Speaker 1: the ground. If Europe is willing to put boots on
Speaker 1: the ground to fight the war, then there's a chance
Speaker 1: for Ukraine to win the war. If Europe isn't, then
Speaker 1: there's no chance.
Speaker 2: It's that simple.
Speaker 1: And at this point, Europe made it clear years ago
Speaker 1: it would not put boots on the ground to fight
Speaker 1: that war. And lord knows, there shouldn't be a single
Speaker 1: American boot on the ground. So yeah, because Europe made
Speaker 1: that decision not to support Ukraine in a way that
Speaker 1: would have mattered, then yeah, that sealed the fate of this.
Speaker 1: And Trump. Don't blame Trump, He's just trying to stop
Speaker 1: the bloodshed and end it in the best way possible.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he should absolutely hammer Russia right now for
Speaker 1: these attacks today. Another tweet from the president quote Shalom
Speaker 1: Hamas means hello and goodbye. You can choose release all
Speaker 1: of the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all
Speaker 1: of the dead bodies of the people you're murdered, or
Speaker 1: it is over for you. Over All in caps only
Speaker 1: sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick
Speaker 1: and twisted. I am sending Israel everything it needs to
Speaker 1: finish the job. Not a single Hamas member will be
Speaker 1: safe if you don't do as I say. I have
Speaker 1: just met with your former hostages, whose lives you have destroyed.
Speaker 1: This is your last warning for the leadership. Now is
Speaker 1: the time to leave Gaza while you still have a chance.
Speaker 1: Also to the people of Gaza, a beautiful future awaits,
Speaker 1: but not if you hold hostages. If you do, you
Speaker 1: are dead. All in caps. Make a smart decision. Release
Speaker 1: the hostages now, or there will be hell to pay later.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, President of the United States. I love that,
Speaker 1: absolutely love that. Hey, when we come back, open lines,
Speaker 1: a lot of ground to cover.
Speaker 2: In the five o'clock hour.
Speaker 1: I do want to continue that conversation of the best
Speaker 1: pizza in Colorado.
Speaker 2: It is time to figure that one out and.
Speaker 1: Get Gabe Evans, star young new congressman, will join us
Speaker 1: at five thirty six. He's a great question to Mike
Speaker 1: Johnston on The Dan Kapla Show
