We're in a 6 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.519 victory for the American way in Colorado Springs with that 7 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.480 big raid. We're going to keep talking about it and 8 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:22.039 want to get to your take on, Hey, what do 9 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.679 you think was really behind it? Do you expect to 10 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.000 see more? What else do you want to see the 11 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.920 Trump administration do here in Colorado. We'll tie that into 12 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.479 the President sign in a number of additional executive orders 13 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.560 today dealing with illegal immigration, but really want to focus 14 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.479 on the Springs and very specific action you would like 15 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.960 to see the administration take next three or three seOne 16 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.000 three eight, two five five d an five seven seven 17 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:49.799 three nine. And when I say take next, I mean 18 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.200 right here in Colorado, which has been a notorious sanctuary 19 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.000 state and sanctuary city. Right And the thing that infuriates 20 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.719 me the most because listen, I can underst and having 21 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.920 different political ideologies and disagreeing on major issues, etc. But 22 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.920 there are some things that just cross all lines of 23 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.359 human decency. And every single top elected Democrat in Colorado 24 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.239 is guilty of this as our top party officials making 25 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:22.560 a deliberate decision to sacrifice innocent human life at this 26 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.719 altar of getting as many illegal folks into the country 27 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.000 as possible because they're going to be Democrat voters. And 28 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.719 that's why, time and time again you've seen these top 29 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.319 elected Democrats try to protect people here illegally who are 30 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:43.680 committing serious crimes. And how just basic human decency, How 31 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:45.400 could somebody ever support. 32 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.719 That, let alone use their power they got from. 33 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.159 The voters to protect people here illegally who committed other crimes. 34 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.560 Often those crimes are committed against other folks here illegally, 35 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.640 very often the crimes are committed against US citizens. But 36 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.159 as a matter of basic human decency, how to the 37 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.000 Johnstons and polices and hicken Loopers and Bennetts of the world, 38 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:12.879 the wisers of the world justify that. Yeah, I can't 39 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.639 even begin to comprehend that. But my personal belief is 40 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.240 that it comes back to on the left, just this 41 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.400 what's become a distorted, perverted view of the value of 42 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.319 human life. And very much, and I'm not colon any 43 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.319 of these people Marxists, but very much is kind of 44 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.919 communist Marxist view, right, that the individual human life doesn't 45 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.680 have any inherent dignity or value or worse. And so 46 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.479 all these innocent US citizens, all these women being raped, 47 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.800 all these people being murdered, all the people who their 48 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.639 father or mother don't come home tonight because they've been 49 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.800 killed by an illegal immigrant on the roadway, they're just 50 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.599 an acceptable casualty rate to these Democrats. So I really 51 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.240 do think this sanctuary city, sanctuary states stuff, and you 52 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.159 look at what it really means, providing sanctuary to people 53 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.439 committing illegal acts, providing sanctuary and protection. What a sanctuary, 54 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:17.919 I mean protection, providing protection against law enforcement to people 55 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.599 who are here committing brutal, violent crimes. 56 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.560 And I so I. 57 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.240 Support absolutely everything under the sun that Trump administration can 58 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.479 legally and constitutionally do to stand up for innocent human 59 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.159 life because it's it's you know, the pro life movement. 60 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:40.080 Obviously it's about protecting masses of people, millions from being 61 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.719 killed before they're born, but it's protecting innocent human life 62 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:48.439 at every stage. And so this idea of ending sanctuary 63 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:53.400 cities and states where people committing crimes are given protection. 64 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.840 That's very much in my view of pro life issue 65 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.599 three or three seOne, three eight, two five five takes 66 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.599 DA five seven seven, three nine. So want to get 67 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.159 your take on what you want to see the administration do. 68 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:12.159 Next related story this in the Denver Post, Colorado Springs 69 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.800 landlord shocked underground club was operating on property Colorado Springs. 70 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.199 The owner of a Colorado Springs building that was the 71 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.399 site of a federal raids Sunday morning told Denver seven 72 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.160 investigates he had no idea an underground nightclub was operating 73 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:28.000 on his property. 74 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.120 Quote, I've never even seen a. 75 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.079 Lot of trash in the parking lot to even suspect 76 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.399 anything like an after hours nightclub is going on. So 77 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.279 it's pretty shocking, told investigative reporter Tony Koveleski. Does a 78 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:46.879 great job over there at Channel seven. But yeah, Ryan, 79 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.040 there's one thing about MS thirteen and trend Aragua, right, 80 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.720 they're very very neat. 81 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:54.399 They always pick up their litter. 82 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.480 So yeah, I'm sure there just wasn't even anything in 83 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.639 the parking lot. But yeah, the DEAIS, multiple other agencies. 84 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.480 I think there were how many, maybe three hundred law 85 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.199 enforcement involved in this rate bust Colorado Springs underground club 86 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:18.120 quote frequented by TDA and MS thirteen terrorists. Why didn't 87 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.240 Phil Wiser do this earlier? Why didn't police get involved? Yeah, 88 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.199 and you just sent me something, right, Ryan, I think 89 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.240 we've had a condemnation, right, And I'm sure it was 90 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:35.199 a condemnation of you know, just the fact that this 91 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.040 terrible nightclub existed. 92 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:38.560 Oh. 93 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:47.199 No, al Paso County Democratic Party condemns Colorado Springs dea. Right, Wow, 94 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.360 can we send them some money just so they can 95 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.560 keep sending out stuff like this? City and counter leadership 96 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.319 failed their constituents by refusing to call for restraint, compassion, 97 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.120 or due process for the very residents they represent. Residents, 98 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.439 including US citizens, are at real risk of wrongful detention, deportation, 99 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.480 and imprisonment or worse that from the Alpasso County Democratic Party. Right, 100 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:17.120 do you remember that missuing a statement of condolence or 101 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.879 empathy or condemnation for any of the innocent people in 102 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.279 al Paso County raped by somebody here illegally or or 103 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:32.439 brutally violated by MS thirteen or TDA, or people whose 104 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.639 children died of fetanol that was brought into the country 105 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.759 through the open border. I bet there's a long string 106 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.920 of text from the Alpasso County Democratic Party condemning all 107 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:45.759 of those horrors. 108 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.000 None of what you mentioned comes to Mina. Yeah, you know. 109 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.759 What's so good right now is everything we were talking 110 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.319 about during the campaign. Remember where I was talking about, Okay, 111 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.720 vitally important obviously the Trump win, But what's very, very 112 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.920 important is that the left then collapses. And to collapse, 113 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.079 the left has to reveal itself, right, because only the 114 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.600 people can collapse the left. The left is never going 115 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:16.959 to collapse itself. But my prediction was, and fortunately it's 116 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.600 born out, that as it became more and more obvious 117 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.319 that Trump was going to win, and then once he 118 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.959 did win, the Left would lose its self control and 119 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.480 the Left would just expose itself to the people for 120 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.199 what it really is. And then at that point we 121 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.040 get the double barrel. We get the election of President 122 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:36.920 Trump and all the good that has brought, but then 123 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:41.360 we also get the left kind of eating itself, the 124 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.199 Left destroying itself. 125 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.240 By exposing itself. 126 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.000 And fortunately we're getting the benefit of that as well. 127 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.639 If we get really lucky, then AOC is going to 128 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.920 be their presidential nominee right, or at least be a 129 00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:00.439 viable enough presidential candidate. Shall certainly be viable enough, I think, 130 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.680 to pull the party even further to the left. Which 131 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.759 where are they on the scale? Then once AOC pulls 132 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.240 the Democrats even further to the left, where are they 133 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.639 on the deskpot scale? Where do they compare to say, 134 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.639 g and the Communist Party of China? 135 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:17.959 Right? 136 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.120 I mean, how much further left can you go? The 137 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.920 good news is we're about to find out, because the 138 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.920 further left this Democratic Party goes in Colorado and nationally, 139 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.559 the sooner it will meet its demise, and Colorado tougher 140 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.159 not to craft. But we're up for that challenge. Three 141 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.200 or three seOne three eight two five five takes d 142 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.919 a n five seven seven three nine dan. As a 143 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.039 church organist, I've played hundreds of Catholic funerals. Not once, 144 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.360 says a Texter, did anyone complain about black not being worn, 145 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:53.039 no matter how supposedly important the dead person was? Right, 146 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.480 I have to admit I've been a bit oblivious to 147 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.759 this controversy over President Trump wearing a blue suit to 148 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:05.120 the funeral of the Pope. I'd be very surprised if 149 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.639 that would offend God in any way, shape or form. 150 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.519 Remember, Dan, these are the same people that always go 151 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:16.360 to the criticism of President Obama's tan suit by conservatives 152 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.320 and made fun of that, And now they're engaging in 153 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:20.200 what color was. 154 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.879 Now a tan suit's a different, different animal. Where where? 155 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:24.320 What do you wear a tan suit too? 156 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.039 I think it was a press briefing or something pretty innocuous. 157 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.840 Well, there's no reason to criticize that. 158 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:30.840 That's I know. 159 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.679 Yeah, No, if you wore a tan suit to the 160 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.720 Pope's funeral. 161 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:33.960 That'd be different. 162 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:35.080 Yeah, that'd be different. 163 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:40.039 That aren't blue and black and most instances interchangeable. 164 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:44.159 Right, And I know one texter mentioned that that what 165 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:44.679 that that. 166 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.879 Pope had wanted everybody to wear black. 167 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.159 I yeah, but listen, I don't think there was anything 168 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.840 even remotely disrespectful. Listen, we talked about in the last segment. 169 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.960 It was the ultimate respect of President Trump to go. 170 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.320 It was respect for for Catholics throughout America, respect for 171 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.559 the Catholic Church, and there should be a lot of 172 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.799 respect on a lot of levels. And he said it's 173 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.799 starting with the fact that the Catholic vote was he 174 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.279 won it in America and that was obviously very important, 175 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.559 but also all the great work the Catholic Church does, 176 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.799 because you can bet on this as a matter of fact, 177 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:21.240 Colorado falls apart Denver first, much more quickly and without 178 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.960 all the great work done in the trenches by Catholics. 179 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.639 The Catholic Church Catholic Charities obviously not the only group 180 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.480 or faith or anything else doing a lot of great 181 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:34.639 work in Colorado, but in terms of scale, enormity of scale, 182 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.679 all the different diverse services provided, literally, Denver would fall 183 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.480 apart in one week without the Catholic Church and Catholic 184 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.799 Charities ministering to the poor the way that it does. 185 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.519 So Trump showed I think, ultimate respect to the Catholic 186 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.600 Church into Catholics by going to the funeral, and I'm 187 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.039 glad he did. 188 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:53.600 You're on the Dan Capla Show. 189 00:10:55.679 --> 00:11:03.480 And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast. 190 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.320 The left track to make a big deal out of 191 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.000 President Trump wearing a blue suit and blue tie to 192 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:12.879 the Pope's funeral, and you know, please, I hope they 193 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.279 keep spouting that kind of nonsense because it was a 194 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:21.200 Catholic myself, and flawed, far from perfect work in progress Catholic, 195 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.759 but one who loves the church, and I'm grateful for 196 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.039 my faith. I can tell you I was so appreciative 197 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.399 to President Trump for the respect that he showed by 198 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.679 attending and in respect to you know, American Catholics as well. 199 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.200 And as he mentioned, hey, he won the Catholic vote 200 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.080 and he wanted to show respect. So I think that 201 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:40.799 is a beautiful thing. 202 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.200 Why did you feel it was important to go to 203 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:44.720 the folks. 204 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.480 I just thought it was out of respect. 205 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.559 You know, I won the Catholic vote, and I think it's. 206 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.919 The first time that ever happened where a Republican won 207 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.320 the vote. 208 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.879 But I wanted by a lot, and you know, I 209 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.559 have a great relationship to the Catholics. Oh, he actually 210 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.240 won it in sixteen, and I do think it was 211 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.919 undeniably the difference maker in sixteen Upper Midwest Blue Wall 212 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.320 States Catholic surge for Trump at the very end, in 213 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.279 part rebelling against Hillary Clinton's glorification of late term abortions. 214 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.240 So no, it's great, and it's great he showed that respect. 215 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.120 By the way, there were plenty of other people there 216 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.360 in blue. Biden wore a blue tie. And the people 217 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.320 who are making this argument that Trump broke dress code. 218 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.240 They're citing a document about protocol being black tie black 219 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.360 coup well, and then Biden broke it to and then 220 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.360 Prince William and a bunch of other people. So again 221 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.919 that kind of nonsense from the left, Bring on more 222 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.440 of it, because it's just going to mean more Republicans 223 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.559 get elected. Three or three someone three eight two five 224 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.639 five d an five seven seven three nine. 225 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:45.759 Anybody you want to see is an ex pope there, 226 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.480 Ryan saw nominee that I was going to bring your 227 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.600 attention to it. I thought, I sent you a text, 228 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.240 but I gotta find it, okay, okay. 229 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.360 And then in that next segment we will play this 230 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.879 hilarious thing that's just out there in X right now. 231 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.279 Somebody did a great job working this up where they 232 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.039 did a mock draft for the next pope, a vaticant 233 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.679 draft for the next Pope, and I just think it's 234 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.120 done in good cheer and everything else and kind of fun. 235 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.600 My hope is that obviously somebody has to be right 236 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.600 on the faith right, because the whole idea within the 237 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:21.360 Catholic Church is, hey, you're the mailman. You can't change 238 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.039 the mail, right, You don't get to write the mail. 239 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.200 Jesus writes the mail, God writes the mail. You just 240 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.399 carry the mail. You can't change the mail. I hope 241 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.279 we get a male carrying pope, but boy, I would 242 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.759 love to see I'd love to see a pope from Africa. 243 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.200 Well, I think I'm gonna be along the same lines 244 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.639 as you, Dan, and we might be on the same 245 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.600 page here. So a pope has chosen, I don't know 246 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:49.159 a lot about this. You do this conclave process from. 247 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.559 An existing cardinal or what's cardinal? 248 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.000 Cardinal Robert Sarah. 249 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.799 Oh, yeah, no, so impressive. I'd love to see him 250 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.200 as pope. I think he's considered a long shot. But 251 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.600 then again, John Paul the Great probably wasn't even on 252 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:03.000 the board. 253 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.000 I think he's a native of Guinea uh in Africa. 254 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.120 And then also the only thing maybe working against him, 255 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.919 But I don't know if this has been a big 256 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.759 factor in the past. 257 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.480 Is he is up there in years? He's seventy eight. 258 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.039 Which could work for you, right right, depending on what 259 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:21.480 people want. If they're looking for a shorter term pope. 260 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.399 You know, thank God literally that John Paul the Great 261 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.440 was picked when he was young enough to then have 262 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:27.960 that big long term impact. 263 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.919 But yeah, no, I I follow him on X and 264 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.080 I love some of the I love a lot of 265 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:35.679 the stuff he's done. 266 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.279 So yeah, in Africa, man, I'll tell you, Catholicism is 267 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.480 just exploding in Africa. So I would love to see, 268 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.720 you know, an African pope again, assuming the you know 269 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.720 doctrine is right. Yeah, it's going to be really interesting 270 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.320 to watch. Three seven three eight two five five text 271 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.480 d A N five seven seven three nine. Talking again, 272 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:00.600 we have throughout the show about the a big raid 273 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.279 down in Colorado Springs. I've been, and obviously the illegal 274 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.639 immigrant piece of it was very important, but there's also 275 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.200 the drug aspect and the two intersect right when it 276 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.039 comes to fentonyl open borders, et cetera. What do you 277 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.279 make of the fact that I've seen reports running up 278 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.519 to twelve active US military arrested there. 279 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:18.720 What do you make of those reports? 280 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.200 That is a curve ball? 281 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.279 Yeah, right, yeah, And I think some of the reports 282 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.840 I've seen as suggested, you know, working as security things 283 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.559 like that. But I think it just goes back to 284 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:35.759 an undeniable point that even our most revered institutions, consisting 285 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.320 of our very best and bravest and brightest, and that 286 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.799 would be the military police fire. For me, as a Catholic, 287 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:48.200 it'd be priest. Any human endeavor is going to have 288 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.519 a few bad apples because were you. And then the 289 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.559 challenge is to just root that out and to be 290 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.919 just ruthless and clear eyed about it. So, yeah, I 291 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.519 do hope we get some pretty thorough reporting, meaning from 292 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.799 the administration none on what that was all about. 293 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.960 Yeah, I'm having Kelly reach out right now to John Fabricatory, 294 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.559 who is under consideration for a post in the Trump administration, 295 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.480 and if he's unable to join us, hopefully he'll be 296 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.879 able to recommend us somebody that can join us to 297 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:23.559 talk about the western Colorado springs. 298 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.320 What else do you want to see the administration do 299 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.399 here in Colorado? We covered earlier in the show this 300 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:31.879 really important announcement today that President Trump, now and I've 301 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.360 been pushing this for years on air, is going to 302 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.360 require all truck drivers to be proficient in English. 303 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.039 And then the third executive order, which actually speaks the 304 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.960 heart of your question earlier about the uber drivers, will 305 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:47.639 be a order directing the Department of Transportation to include 306 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.679 English literacy tests for our truckers. This is a big 307 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.080 problem in the trucking community. 308 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:53.279 That, oh, amen to that. 309 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.000 I mean, as I mentioned to you, I was over 310 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.519 at jeff Co Jail a few weeks ago deposing for 311 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:03.039 almost six hours a trucker who had killed my client's 312 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.480 beloved husband, spilling pipe on him on a Colorado roadway. 313 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.279 And then the DA out there only prosecutes it as 314 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.839 a misdemeanor. Lots of other people hurt too, by the way, 315 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.559 it's only prosecuted as a misdemeanor. And so the guy's 316 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:18.119 going to be out in less than a year. And 317 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.279 I had to get the deposition before he was released 318 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.480 from jail, and you know, you're doing it through an interpreter, 319 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.440 and it's like, obviously, this cannot be safe. You've got 320 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.599 to be proficient, proficient in English to operate safely, you know, 321 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.599 a semi truck on America's roadways. And so I'm so 322 00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:37.039 happy to see President. 323 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.319 Trump do that. 324 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.039 But where's the leadership at the Colorado state level on that, right? 325 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.400 I mean, we have become this killing field, you know, 326 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.519 when it comes to trucks. And hey, the good truckers, 327 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.920 I've said this for decades on air, the good truckers 328 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.119 are heroes. Really hard job without them, we can't have 329 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.119 our lives. Our lifestyle would still be alive, but we 330 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.039 can't have our lifestyle. They're backbone of America. But the 331 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.400 industry has a dark underbelly, extraordinarily dangerous. I mean, in 332 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.160 terms of the dangers facing you and your family right now, 333 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.160 probably reckless Trucker is very, very very. 334 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:13.599 High up on the list. 335 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.400 And so it's something any sane society wants to protect 336 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.319 its own should be ruthlessly acting against. 337 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:22.000 Every single day. 338 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.200 But you look at policy coddles, the guy who calls 339 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.240 that massive fireball on the highway, all those people burned up. 340 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.400 You're on the Dan Kaplas Show. 341 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:36.880 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 342 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.640 Look, i started borgital in nineteen eighty four. I've been 343 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.880 at this for over forty years. I worked for six presidents, 344 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.920 Star O Round Reagan. Every president ever worked for it 345 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.359 to boris security seriously, because you can't have national security 346 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.359 if you don't have strong Boris security. We got to 347 00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:56.200 know who's coming in, what's coming in, where's coming in, 348 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:56.759 why's coming in? 349 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:57.160 Right? 350 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.799 Even President Obama and President Clinton took some steps to 351 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.519 secure the border because they understood and national security was important. 352 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.359 Joe Biden was the first president in the history of 353 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.839 this nation who came in office an unsecured a border 354 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:11.880 on purpose. 355 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.720 Yeah, and remember with the support of Michael Bennet and 356 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:21.000 John Hickenlooper and Mike Johnston and Jared Polis right, remember 357 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.720 that hopefully the voters of Colorado will three or three 358 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.759 someone three eight two five five text d A N 359 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.720 five seven seven three nine. I'll go to the full 360 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.559 lines quickly. But Texter Dan, did you see that Tennessee 361 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.359 is now requiring autopsies for mass shooters for purpose of 362 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.519 identifying links to psychiatric drugs. I think it would also 363 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.079 show marijuana or other drugs too. You've talked a lot 364 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:43.640 about the drug connection of the shooting. 365 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.599 You bet you. 366 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:46.960 You go back and you look at these mass shooters 367 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.000 in Colorado and elsewhere. 368 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:50.680 It's really rare. 369 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.279 That a mass shooter is not a heavy marijuana user. 370 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.200 Doesn't mean every marijuana user heavy marijuana user is going 371 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.039 to be a mass shooter, of course not. But when 372 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.119 you look at this, when you look at this common 373 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:07.119 denominator among most of the mass shooters, isn't that something 374 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:09.960 that we should be studying. Isn't that a concern? Isn't 375 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.799 that something that should weigh against the legalization of marijuana, right? 376 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:17.880 But that's just not talked about right because the legalization 377 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.599 of marijuana is holy grail for the left, because the 378 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.720 left knows that a drug society is more dependent on 379 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.680 government and more likely to vote for Democrats. That's that's 380 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:32.039 been their game for a long time now. Jerry Brown 381 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.880 announced you remember Jerry Brown, the uber liberal was called 382 00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:39.160 liberal back then governor of California, and he said, hey, 383 00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:41.759 how many stoners can you have and still be a 384 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:46.720 great state. But yeah, so that's why you don't have 385 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:50.960 this focus on mass shooters often being heavy marijuana users. 386 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.200 And for those who don't spend a lot of time 387 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.400 studying this issue, it's it's not that, okay, they get 388 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.759 so intoxicated they go out and do something tom like that. 389 00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:06.599 It's causing psychotic breaks. It's causing psychotic breaks that cause 390 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.039 them to go out and do demonic things like that. 391 00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:11.319 Let's go to Steven in Denver. 392 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.079 You're on the Dan Kapla show. Welcome. 393 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.759 I just wanted to follow up on the Tim tebow 394 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.119 Ye was very yeah, I'm so glad you see this. 395 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.279 I'm no one will ever convince me that he could 396 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.960 not play in the NFL. Well, he proved he could 397 00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.960 start that down. Yeah, once you start, you know, once 398 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.559 you get rejected by one team, that becomes a kind 399 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:35.359 of a snowball. 400 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.160 Well, listen, Stephen, thank you for my call my friend 401 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.000
