00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>This is Dan Kaplis and welcome to today's online podcast

5
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>single day on your favorite podcast platform. So, can somebody

6
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>explain this to me? How does everything about the Super

7
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Bowl keep getting bigger and more grand and more elaborate

8
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>while the halftime show goes backwards? I mean, truly, I'm

9
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 1>not going to sit here and play music critic all day.

10
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows that things sucked. No, this is about the phenomena,

11
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the dynamics. How do you get an event that truly

12
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>just gets more elaborate. It looked when you saw the

13
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>teams enter yesterday, it looked like they were coming in

14
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>through the pearly gates, right. I mean now it's not

15
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 1>even just a tunnel. You've got all of these different effects, etc.

16
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>So why is the halftime show going backwards? Whatever happened

17
00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>to the days of Bruno Mars and Prints and Janet

18
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Jackson and the Stones? Whatever happened to those days? I'd

19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>truly love to get your take on it. If you

20
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about the halftime show. I'm happy to,

21
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I work for you. But the question is,

22
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 1>is there anybody in America who disagrees unless their initials

23
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 1>are KL. Yeah, that thing was. I can't imagine it

24
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>being more boring. It didn't upset me at all other

25
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>than the waste of time and opportunity. But if you've

26
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>got thoughts on why that's happening with the super Bowl,

27
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to hear them, because it just seems absolutely crazy,

28
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>absolutely crazy that they would do that, and that they

29
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, come on, think about it. It's been

30
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 1>part of our culture. The super Bowl halftime show. Americans

31
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>have a right to expect something really big and grand

32
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 1>and not just something just sort of routine and route

33
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 1>and boring like that yesterday. And did the guy I mean,

34
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>he was actually telling people to turn off their TVs?

35
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Right, grand father?

36
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Looks up the highest met per Bowl made, Petty, how

37
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 3>you fully?

38
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 4>I was telling you walk into a leave with Hey,

39
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 4>you can pay.

40
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>It, but somebody gotta do it.

41
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 5>Oh my gotta.

42
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 3>Turn his TV. Yoff, turn the TV.

43
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 6>Y'all.

44
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Y'all even here say yoak, he didn't do in the

45
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 2>show turn his TV off?

46
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Turn his And he's telling you to turn the TV off.

47
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, even he knew how bad it was. So anyway,

48
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm just real curious as to why the NFL would

49
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 1>be doing that because I guarantee you they lost fewers

50
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>at halftime, right because the game wasn't that good. So okay,

51
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.479
<v Speaker 1>you say you hang around for the halftime show and

52
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>then it's that bad.

53
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Has there ever been a worse one? Not even close?

54
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>Not even close.

55
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 1>If you're gonna grade him even the worst ones before,

56
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>what would you say Ryan's the worst one before this one.

57
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 7>That's a great question, maybe for the listeners out there,

58
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 7>but this it did. It definitely didn't appeal to me.

59
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 7>I'm trying not to sound like an old man, but

60
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 7>I can't say I disagree with you.

61
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 2>You did nothing to do with you.

62
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 5>Listen.

63
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>You know me.

64
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>You know I'm not twenty one, but I'm the coolest

65
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>guy in town. I'm a cutting edge. You want to

66
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 1>talk to me about pop culture?

67
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 5>You know?

68
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>No, No, had nothing to do with chronological age. It

69
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>just had to do with whether you wanted to be entertained.

70
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 7>Did you take his advice and turn your TV off?

71
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 5>You know?

72
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Because listen, and I was so proud of myself.

73
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 1>My goal yesterday, and this just defies any type of

74
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>chronological age thing. My goal yesterday would just sit through

75
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing from three forty five until the postgame

76
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 1>ceremony without getting up once.

77
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 2>And I think I got up.

78
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Once, but just to go get a burger or something,

79
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and it was for like thirty seconds. So I saw

80
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 1>it all, and that's why I look forward to playing

81
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>some of the commercials, et cetera. But this halftime show

82
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>things baffles me because again, one of the things the

83
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>NFL's done great job of is just making that bigger

84
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and bigger and bigger. Like my ninety three year old

85
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>uncle Catholic priest still does three messes a week. He

86
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 1>was at the first Super Bowl right, paid like seven

87
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 1>bucks for it whatever I think it was in LA.

88
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:14.680
<v Speaker 2>But the NFL has done a great job.

89
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Every year it gets bigger and better while the halftime

90
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>show shrinks.

91
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Why is that? Would love your thought on as well.

92
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>As has there ever been a halftime show anywhere close

93
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>to this?

94
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>Bad dan?

95
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>First off, who watches the halftime show anymore? Says a Texter?

96
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.639
<v Speaker 1>And then I think they're about to chastise me, and

97
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the computer decided to see esta.

98
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 2>That's a good thing.

99
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, who watches the halftime show anymore? But are you

100
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 1>aware that Hamas has withdrawn from the ceasefire deal saying

101
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Israel violated it? Yes, I am, And clearly Hamas violated

102
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>it the abuse of the hostages, the people they kidnapped,

103
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 1>and then the very abusive and traumatic way they turned

104
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 1>them over. Obviously Moss has violated it in multiple ways.

105
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, we'll be talking about that during the show today.

106
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>You can be sure, you can be sure that the blame.

107
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Lies with Hamas and not Israel. So we'll get into

108
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.680
<v Speaker 2>that dan. Kansas City didn't.

109
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Lose, they just got a little bit behind. And you know,

110
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>one guy, and listen, I don't bet big. I'm really

111
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 1>really good at sports betting, but I don't bet big.

112
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I never want to have to worry about it. Yeah,

113
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>And so even though even though I had a few

114
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>bucks on Kansas City, I've got a ton of relatives

115
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City. I always want them in Kansas I

116
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 1>always want them to be happy. So I wanted, you know,

117
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs to win. I know that's not popular around here,

118
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>but but I had to feel good for Tom Brady, right,

119
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>because all this talk about how if Mahomes wins is

120
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 1>third in a row, he's going to surpass pretty Hey,

121
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that wouldn't have been true and be there's no more

122
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 1>talk about that. And what's disgusting is this lower court

123
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>judges are stopping President Trump's power. Ridiculous, thank you text

124
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>or believe me. I've prepared hard for that and we'll

125
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 1>get into that with you today. And what we're talking about, obviously,

126
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 1>is it's on multiple fronts right now, not all. I

127
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 1>mean President Trump signed a lot of executive orders which

128
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>have not been stayed by any federal courts around the country.

129
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 2>You know.

130
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 1>The big focus right now, and I understand why because

131
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 1>I think the Court will be reversed on this is

132
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 1>you had this court at one in the morning on Saturday,

133
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>if I remember the chronology correctly, which then enjoins meaning

134
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:43.079
<v Speaker 1>stopped temporarily President Trump, through Elon Moskin Doze from doing

135
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of what they were doing at Treasury. And

136
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that was a one am order on Saturday, without the

137
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 1>chance for a hearing from the Trump team. So it

138
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>was an emergency order, which you know courts can do

139
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.079
<v Speaker 1>right under certain circumstances.

140
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 2>And then the Trump team back and filed.

141
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 1>I thought of extraordinarily well done response pretty quickly, and

142
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I read that today as well, so we'll.

143
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>Get into that.

144
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the most serious of the legal issues

145
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 1>pending right now in the sense that I think the court,

146
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion in the case, overreached. I think the

147
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 1>Court may have overreached because you may have had the

148
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Democrats misrepresenting what was actually occurring. But I am extraordinarily

149
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>confident that at this point, either the Democrats who brought

150
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the action that the Court signed off on will back

151
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>off a lot of it and by agreement that order

152
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the court that injunction will be revised, or the Court

153
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>will revise it, or the US Supreme Court will step

154
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 1>in quickly. I think that order was way, way, way

155
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 1>too broad and far reaching that was entered again without

156
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>a hearing because it was on an emergency basis at

157
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 1>one am on Saturday. And then you've got some other

158
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 1>court actions out there that that again what I discussed

159
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning, the Trump team is so smart, so sophisticated,

160
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>so well planned at this point that the Trump team

161
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>fully understood that some of these executive orders such as

162
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>on birthright, citizenship, etc. Were going to get stayed by

163
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 1>a federal court somewhere, and the Trump team wanted that

164
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>so it could get to this US Supreme Court quicker

165
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>as quickly as possible. That's part of their overall strategy.

166
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.759
<v Speaker 1>The Trump team never assumed that all of these were

167
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>just going to fly through. I think they believe in

168
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>each and every one of them, and they should from

169
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the ones I've seen. But yeah, they've expected this, and

170
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 1>then they just want to streamline it, hopefully to the

171
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 1>US Supreme Court, because, as I'm sure you know, let's

172
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 1>say that you have a federal court at district court

173
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 1>judge level. Let's say out in Seattle that enjoins puts

174
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>on hold a Trump executive order. Well, at that point

175
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>you're not guaranteed as straight trip to the US Supreme Court.

176
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>In fact, that's not what usually happens. What usually happens

177
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>is it will go to a federal Court of Appeals

178
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>in that area.

179
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 2>So when you and that would be Ninth Circuit.

180
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.159
<v Speaker 1>So when you hear we're in the Tenth Circuit in Colorado,

181
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>you're in the Ninth Circuit. Say if you have a

182
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>California case, and then it may go from there to

183
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the US Supreme Court.

184
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Certain actions the Supreme.

185
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Court can put on a faster track, and I would

186
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 1>expect you'd see a very very fast track on this

187
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>action taken in New York on early Saturday morning. Very

188
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>fast track on that, I would expect. So yeah, well

189
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that in more detail. Dan Strike three,

190
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 1>see you notre dame Chiefs. You need to stop sports predictions.

191
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I got to tell you, I would be I would

192
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 1>be beyond surprise if there was anybody on Denver Radio

193
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 1>who had anywhere close to my batting average on sports predictions.

194
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.159
<v Speaker 2>I cannot imagine anybody being anywhere.

195
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Near as successful at this over as long a period

196
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of time. Does that mean I'm going to get everyone right? No,

197
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>everything's the human endeavor plus that.

198
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Would make it boring.

199
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 1>But the one thing you have to ask yourself, what

200
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.960
<v Speaker 1>do you think the chances are that when I do

201
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>get it wrong, I get it wrong on purpose just

202
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 1>so it stays interesting.

203
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 2>You're on the Dan Kapla Show.

204
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 7>And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

205
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh I love that.

206
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.919
<v Speaker 1>One of the few times Fox showed President Trump that

207
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>was during the national anthem up in the booth. Yeah,

208
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>crowd went crazy. Beautiful to see. Also when he was

209
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 1>down on the field before the game.

210
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 2>To me, just bizarre and outrageous.

211
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>They didn't show him more during the game, but hey,

212
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 1>yeah eight five y five was there A five A

213
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 1>two five five text d A N five seven seven

214
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>three nine. Now conversely, opposite end of the Richter scale one,

215
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Swift not as well received.

216
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

217
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know, one of the great joys yesterday is

218
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I watched the whole game with our amazing daughter Caroline.

219
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And we've been going to Taylor Swift concerts together since

220
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>my daughter was very very young, since she was nine,

221
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>and since I think about the time Taylor Swift started

222
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 1>doing you know, like Arena's and it was just so

223
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>weird to see her boot. James Carlin said, why are

224
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 1>they doing that? And I said, well, because it's an

225
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>NFC stadium. But I think it's really because she went

226
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:37.159
<v Speaker 1>after Trump.

227
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 7>I think part of it is that there's some benda.

228
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 7>Graham Kamala Harris overlap here, there's some of that. Zach Seegers,

229
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 7>who helps produce my show most days before years here

230
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.519
<v Speaker 7>in Denver, said that he had read reports that the

231
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 7>breakdown of fans in the stadium was about eighty twenty

232
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.399
<v Speaker 7>favorite Philly.

233
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Philly fans.

234
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 7>Are booing her because of Travis Kelcey and the Chiefs

235
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.799
<v Speaker 7>that part, But there might have been Republican Eagles fans

236
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.480
<v Speaker 7>there that were booing twice as loudly.

237
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think the point is there were lots of

238
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>reasons to bore right, so it's hard to sort it out.

239
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Lynn in Denver. You're on the Dan

240
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Kapla show.

241
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome boy. Some mean tweets today, We are grateful for those.

242
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Welcome Lynn.

243
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Hi.

244
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.960
<v Speaker 8>That kind of fun subject I wouldn't want.

245
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it was right that they booed her.

246
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.559
<v Speaker 8>I mean that's that wasn't necessary. But what I called

247
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 8>about was that I called you several years ago about

248
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.279
<v Speaker 8>a halftime show that I thought was horrible. And I

249
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 8>think that this wasn't great this one. I did turn

250
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 8>it off in the beginning. I liked this one, but

251
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 8>then it got interesting and I just turned the channel

252
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 8>until it was over. But the one that I called

253
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 8>about that was really bad years ago was The Who.

254
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 8>And I'd seen them in high school during the sixties

255
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.679
<v Speaker 8>at a concert, and then when they played at the

256
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 8>Super Bowl. I called, and I said they were.

257
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.679
<v Speaker 3>Great until they started singing, because they were so terrible.

258
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 1>And you can be old.

259
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 3>And be really good like throwing stones, but.

260
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 8>The Who is terrible. And I'd say that that was

261
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 8>probably the worst one I've seen.

262
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, but can I challenge that? Can I challenge that?

263
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

264
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Sure, because okay, you got the Who up there, and

265
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.519
<v Speaker 1>now that you mentioned I remember adia they couldn't sing anymore,

266
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.639
<v Speaker 1>but they were still the Who. So at least the

267
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 1>halftime show had some weight, right, because it's one of

268
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the great rock bands of all time. And it was

269
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting because Okay, they can't sing anymore, so that was

270
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>interesting too. This guy yesterday who is not at all

271
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>a household name in America, And the super Bowl is

272
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.559
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a big unifying thing for America, which

273
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean we'll all agree on the music, but it

274
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 1>should be an act that most people know, right, at

275
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 1>least the Who most people know.

276
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 8>Oh, I agree completely, And there are some and there's

277
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 8>rap music that I do like, even at my age.

278
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.600
<v Speaker 8>There's people are surprised that I like Gangster's Paradise and

279
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.480
<v Speaker 8>I like Eminem when he doesn't have dirty If they

280
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 8>bleep out the dirty words.

281
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 4>But I just I found this.

282
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 8>Uninteresting, and yes, it just seems strange and it doesn't

283
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 8>seem like it fit. I mean a little bit of it,

284
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 8>but it just didn't cover what I don't know.

285
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you on that that it wasn't the best.

286
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of beneath the Super Bowl, right, I mean, you.

287
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Should have a bigger act at this It was like

288
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl fifty.

289
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Remember they had who was it Kracklin Crows or something?

290
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Who was it? At fifty? It was some washed up

291
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 2>old group counting, But then.

292
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Then beyond fortunately Beyonce popped in. But the main act

293
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.399
<v Speaker 1>was going to be I can't remember the name of

294
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>the group, but way past its prime. But then fortunately

295
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce popped in and did her thing. Though I remember

296
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.799
<v Speaker 1>something controversial Coldplay? Yeah, Coldplay, and I mean yours passed

297
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.879
<v Speaker 1>their prime and then Beyonce did something controversial I can't remember,

298
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 1>but we would have been better off yesterday was something controversial,

299
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>because at least it would have been interesting.

300
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:50.759
<v Speaker 2>This was like karaoke.

301
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 3>I agree with that.

302
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thank you, Lynn, appreciate the call. She maybe the

303
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.799
<v Speaker 1>last person today to agree with me on anything. Texter Dan,

304
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Actually I should thank you. I made money all three

305
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>times betting the opposite of you yeah uh so yeah,

306
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and then laughing emojis, And I am glad to hear

307
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 1>that that you bet off, because I always tell people

308
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>when I make my sports predictions, please don't bet with me.

309
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.879
<v Speaker 1>I'd feel so bad if you lost your money. Even

310
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.679
<v Speaker 1>though a really eerie amount of the time, I am correct.

311
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Dan about the same chance as Taylor Swift not getting

312
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>booed by the Philadelphia Eagle fans at the Super Bowl.

313
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess Eagles fans do boot just about everything, but

314
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>not President Trump. President Trump very very warmly received.

315
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:35.840
<v Speaker 2>As he should have been.

316
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 4>Fuss.

317
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think Fox didn't show him more often?

318
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>That's bizarre to have president there for the first time

319
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>in American history and they don't show him more often.

320
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Whether they showed him once elicited the.

321
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 7>Chair from the Superdome crowd there, it was pretty universal,

322
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 7>but they Yeah, had it been on ABC, CBS, NBC,

323
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 7>you think they would have shown him at all.

324
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking maybe now.

325
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.559
<v Speaker 1>He's got them so spooked, we're going to be playing

326
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.679
<v Speaker 1>this CBS the sound of this CBS poll. If he'd

327
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.879
<v Speaker 1>been on CBS right now with the threat of suing them.

328
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:16.559
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't have seen the game.

329
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here's Trump, you know, eating a ham sandwich. Here's

330
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Trump doing this, don't you think, Ryan? Here's a Texter?

331
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Dan f the NFL A Football focusm FU for talking

332
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>about it. I'm sorry you're only allowed two f's on

333
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>this show, Dan. The worst was Michael jackson halftime show

334
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.440
<v Speaker 1>when he was gyrating while a crowd of young children

335
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>surrounded the stage, shocking. This was before all the pedophile

336
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>charges came out. Do you remember that show, Michael Jackson?

337
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.360
<v Speaker 7>I thought it was excellent as far as a musical performance.

338
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.080
<v Speaker 7>Post he was always the king of pop for a

339
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:47.879
<v Speaker 7>very good reason.

340
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Dan, I'm fifty seven. Wanted to watch ever tell

341
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 1>you my Michael Jackson story?

342
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.000
<v Speaker 2>One of these? You got his hat? What are the odds?

343
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.480
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing? He throws his hat out to the crowd

344
00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>at McNichols. What are the odds?

345
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.720
<v Speaker 7>I can't you gotta admit you're kind of like Forrest Gump.

346
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 7>You play pinball with the who you get Michael Jackson's hat?

347
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't know who they were. I actually said

348
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:10.279
<v Speaker 2>to Roger Daltrey, who are you?

349
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Are you?

350
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know. I didn't say that way because I

351
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't know. I Hey, who are you?

352
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Dan, I'm fifty and it's the only reason he

353
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:18.279
<v Speaker 1>wanted to play with me. Yeah, I was the only

354
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.640
<v Speaker 1>person there. I didn't know who he was spawning over. Yeah, yeah, Dan,

355
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.720

356
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 1>some guy. I couldn't understand that well, but seemed like

357
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.319
<v Speaker 1>a nice guy. And I played a good game of pinball,

358
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.200

<v Speaker 2>Kim welcome to the Dan Kapla show.

373
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:27.400
<v Speaker 4>Hi Dan, thank you for having me on.

374
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, appreciate the time.

375
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>And starting point is can you tell folks at this

376
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 1>point how many King superstores now are involved.

377
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>In the strike?

378
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Seventy nine? So all of the stores are on the

379
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:46.920
<v Speaker 4>front Range Denver, Colorado, the metropolitan metropolitan area, Boulder, Parker, Broomfield,

380
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:47.839
<v Speaker 4>and Pueblo.

381
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

382
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.039
<v Speaker 1>And is it all of the stores in that area?

383
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Are there some exceptions.

384
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.319
<v Speaker 4>All of the stores north of one hundred and twentieth

385
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:01.079
<v Speaker 4>our non union Those stores are not reppers, but for

386
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:05.200
<v Speaker 4>all of those other areas they are union represented stores.

387
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

388
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.160
<v Speaker 1>And at this point are people honoring the striker or

389
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 1>what percentage would you say or honoring the strike?

390
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:14.039
<v Speaker 2>How much is business.

391
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Down would you estimate at the King supers where the

392
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:17.039
<v Speaker 1>strike's active.

393
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.799
<v Speaker 4>I think that the business is down significant. And we

394
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.559
<v Speaker 4>see that we represent the stores at Safeway. We know

395
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.319
<v Speaker 4>Safeway's business is probably at about one hundred percent. I

396
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.400
<v Speaker 4>had a guests and I'm watching the parking lots. They're overflowing,

397
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 4>and I think in the around the there's a lot

398
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.440
<v Speaker 4>of competition in this market and so there's a lot

399
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:43.599
<v Speaker 4>of other places for the consumer to shop, and we

400
00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:45.920
<v Speaker 4>think they are picking up a lot of the business.

401
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:48.599
<v Speaker 2>What is the strike about.

402
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:53.839
<v Speaker 4>So we've been negotiating with Kroger King super City Market

403
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:58.920
<v Speaker 4>since October and the company's engaged in on their labor practices.

404
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 4>We've been trying to rea contracts. We're bargaining and negotiating

405
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 4>for sixteen contracts for all Kroger stores that are unionized

406
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.400
<v Speaker 4>across the state of Colorado. There's sixteen contracts across the state.

407
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.880
<v Speaker 4>So as we've been negotiating, the company has been engaged

408
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:21.680
<v Speaker 4>and unlawful. They're called ulps or unlawful behavior. I'm sorry

409
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 4>somebody's walking into they've been engaged. They've been engaged in

410
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:31.559
<v Speaker 4>unlawful behavior. And we filed charges with the National Labor

411
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.039
<v Speaker 4>Relations FORD. So our strike, we have a two weeks

412
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 4>strike now could be extended to even other stores to

413
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 4>The strike is against the charges with the government that

414
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.480
<v Speaker 4>we have because the company is violating the law and

415
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.200
<v Speaker 4>it prohibits us from negotiating successor agreements.

416
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, is money at the heart of this or is

417
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:57.519
<v Speaker 1>it other considerations beyond the alleged violations of the law.

418
00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Is there a money issue at the.

419
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.759
<v Speaker 8>Core of all this not well.

420
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:04.319
<v Speaker 4>There is to the extent that the company has put

421
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.160
<v Speaker 4>submitted what's called a LAS best and final offer, which

422
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 4>we believe is an unlawful offer. But they are trying

423
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.799
<v Speaker 4>to move eight million dollars of money from our retiree

424
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:19.400
<v Speaker 4>health fund to pay for wage increases, and so our side,

425
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 4>we have not put a proposal for wages on our

426
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.880
<v Speaker 4>big thing that our members want to address is staffing

427
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.119
<v Speaker 4>we've seen since the pandemic. Then you know, we have

428
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 4>striking twenty twenty two, and then the attempted merger with Albertsons,

429
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:38.960
<v Speaker 4>the company has reduced staffing significantly. So it's an hour issue,

430
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.880
<v Speaker 4>it's it's the price of grocery. We're actually asking the

431
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.119
<v Speaker 4>companies to invest in lower grocery prices, and instead they

432
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.000
<v Speaker 4>took after the merger failed. A lot of this is

433
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:55.119
<v Speaker 4>residue from the failed attempt to merge with Albertsons. And

434
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, Kroger was going to buy Albertson's for twenty

435
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.799
<v Speaker 4>four billion dollars. That mergers failed, but they send over

436
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.839
<v Speaker 4>a billion dollars in legal fees and other fees to

437
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:07.559
<v Speaker 4>try to you know, get to seek the approval. But

438
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 4>now they're being ensued by Albertson's and all of this

439
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, mess between you know, this attempt to merge

440
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 4>has caused you know, we've seen executives make the decision

441
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:22.960
<v Speaker 4>to increase the price of grocery at the same time

442
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.400
<v Speaker 4>they've been reducing staffing in the storages, not just here

443
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.160
<v Speaker 4>in Colorado but across the country. And it's really everybody

444
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.079
<v Speaker 4>has paid for that, you know, attempt to merge between

445
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 4>the customers and the workers. And so you know, we

446
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.640
<v Speaker 4>are trying to fix this chronic staffing issue. You actually

447
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.720
<v Speaker 4>had done a show and talked to our workers last

448
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:48.839
<v Speaker 4>year who were fired over security issues the King's Five

449
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.400
<v Speaker 4>and that's part of this fight too, and it's a

450
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:55.880
<v Speaker 4>staffing issue. We're asking for guards. We're seeing so much

451
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.839
<v Speaker 4>stuff in these stores. There's a lot of crime, whether

452
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.440
<v Speaker 4>it's inside or out sites that take place in these

453
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:06.400
<v Speaker 4>public stores here, and they refuse to invest in proper staffing,

454
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 4>which we think if there's more people in the store,

455
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 4>it's safer for not only the workers to work there,

456
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.680
<v Speaker 4>but to shop there. And so staffing and safety are

457
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.880
<v Speaker 4>the top priorities in this contract right now. And of

458
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:21.240
<v Speaker 4>course workers, you know, we have not the union has

459
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:25.240
<v Speaker 4>not put a wage proposal because the staffing issue is real,

460
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:30.000
<v Speaker 4>like the Witching five folks, I mean, our members are

461
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 4>constantly having to make excuses and apologize for the high

462
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:39.640
<v Speaker 4>price of groceries. There's a big deal with staffing, has

463
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.440
<v Speaker 4>a lot to do with price integrity in the stores.

464
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:46.880
<v Speaker 4>There's simply not enough staff to change in that, you know,

465
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:50.240
<v Speaker 4>the tags on the shelves or in the system to

466
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:54.119
<v Speaker 4>match the price of groceries and what they're advertised versus

467
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:57.240
<v Speaker 4>what goes through the register. And that's causing a lot

468
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:00.960
<v Speaker 4>of safety issues in our store as well. And we're

469
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 4>our members are our shoppers. They spend all their checks

470
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:07.759
<v Speaker 4>right back into these stores. And you know, we want

471
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:11.920
<v Speaker 4>the company to invest in lower prices and more staff

472
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:16.640
<v Speaker 4>and safer workplace shape a safer shopping experience for the customer.

473
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Now.

474
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Kim Cordova, our guest president of UFCW Local seven. Kim,

475
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:24.880
<v Speaker 1>when and how do you think this will all end?

476
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:28.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I sent a letter to the company

477
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:32.599
<v Speaker 4>today again, if they resolve the unfair labor practices, we

478
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 4>want to go back to the table. But they there's

479
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:38.400
<v Speaker 4>critical information they have to provide us around staffing and

480
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.799
<v Speaker 4>they are refusing. The company does not want to give

481
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 4>up any control of hours or staffing in those stores,

482
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:49.680
<v Speaker 4>even though customers see and experience what we're fighting over

483
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:54.880
<v Speaker 4>long lines, empty shelves, higher prices. There's departments that are

484
00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 4>closed early, and there's not a worker shortage or a

485
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 4>supply shortage in the country. The pandemic was one issue.

486
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 4>All they've done is ride on that success. We're raising grocery,

487
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:11.200
<v Speaker 4>the prices of grocery, reducing staff, and it's been profitable

488
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 4>for these employers, but for the workers and the customers

489
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:16.839
<v Speaker 4>not so much. It hasn't been a good deal for them.

490
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it seems to me this has got to get

491
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 1>worked out and quickly. And the reason I say that

492
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.279
<v Speaker 1>is that it strikes me the King Supers just going

493
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.640
<v Speaker 1>to King Super shopping at King Supers is a big

494
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.680
<v Speaker 1>part of the fabric of Colorado and that people universally

495
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:34.960
<v Speaker 1>like their King Supers employees. And so I've got to

496
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 1>believe there's so much support out there for King Supers

497
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 1>employees that this will get worked out. So appreciate you

498
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>being with us. I'm going to continue to honor the

499
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:46.559
<v Speaker 1>strike myself. So if you looked at the snack I

500
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:49.839
<v Speaker 1>have with me right now, Kim. It looks pretty awful

501
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 1>because normally I go to King Supers I get my

502
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.240
<v Speaker 1>certain kind of peanut butter. So yesterday I had to

503
00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:58.759
<v Speaker 1>instacart some substitute from some other grocery store. And honestly,

504
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 1>it looks like somebody got sick on the desk here.

505
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:05.400
<v Speaker 1>But I will continue to honor the strike and hopefully

506
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it all works out.

507
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Well, Well, we appreciate your support. You know, we also

508
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:14.240
<v Speaker 4>represent Safeway workers, and you know we're hoping that King Soupers.

509
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, you know we can negotiate a contract that

510
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.599
<v Speaker 4>works best for the workers and the consumer.

511
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I appreciate the time.

512
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.640
<v Speaker 4>Today, all right, thank you very much.

513
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Good you take care, Thank you, and please, I hope

514
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:31.640
<v Speaker 1>nobody takes my support of the strike as something anti

515
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:32.519
<v Speaker 1>King Soupers.

516
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I love King Soupers.

517
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.039
<v Speaker 1>I love shopping there, and over the years, I think

518
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.400
<v Speaker 1>it's maintained a high level of quality. I love going

519
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:43.359
<v Speaker 1>into King Supers everywhere. So I'm not anti Kroger anti

520
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.960
<v Speaker 1>King Supers, quite the opposite, very positive about that. I'm

521
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:50.680
<v Speaker 1>just pro worker and I've always loved the people who

522
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 1>work at all the different King soupers and just figure

523
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.640
<v Speaker 1>they should get taken care of. So anyway, if you've

524
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 1>got a different point of view, we will certainly send

525
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the Perverse built limo for you. Eight five zero five

526
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 1>eight two five five. Here's the game plan. We've been

527
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 1>talking mainly about a lot of different things. We've been

528
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 1>talking about the Super Bowl halftime show and the bigger question,

529
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>because everybody knows it was terrible, the bigger question is

530
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 1>why why are the halftime shows getting worse at an

531
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:20.519
<v Speaker 1>event that they pour a ton of money into making.

532
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Better in every other way every year? Right?

533
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:25.240
<v Speaker 1>So why are they letting the halftime shows get worse?

534
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Has there ever been a worse halftime show? Bringing you

535
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.400
<v Speaker 1>some fun sound from the you know, super Bowl, we'll

536
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 1>get into some of the commercials. I thought there were

537
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.319
<v Speaker 1>some really good commercials. Why didn't they show President Trump

538
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>more often? First sitting president to be there? And every

539
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>time they showed him he got cheered wildly. Taylor Swift

540
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>got boots. So we'll continue to play that and more,

541
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.079
<v Speaker 1>and then we will get into some of the really

542
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:48.519
<v Speaker 1>serious stuff of the day.

543
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:57.079
<v Speaker 2>You're on the Dan Kaplas Show. And now back to

544
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:58.119
<v Speaker 2>the Dan Kaplas Show.

545
00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 5>Podcast.

546
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Have you thought about what happens if the administration defies

547
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:05.599
<v Speaker 1>these rulings, then.

548
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 6>What I'd offer three points on it are likely to

549
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:13.160
<v Speaker 6>come in that scenario. First, any official who thinks it's

550
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 6>a good idea to disregard what a court orders might

551
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 6>look at the story of Rudy Giuliani, who has lost

552
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:23.839
<v Speaker 6>his law license, has lost all his possessions, and whose

553
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.599
<v Speaker 6>actions that sacrificed his integrity came at now great personal cost.

554
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:32.160
<v Speaker 6>It will not be costless for people who decide to

555
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 6>disregard the rule of law.

556
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, Phil Wiser, then shouldn't you be very concerned with

557
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.599
<v Speaker 1>elected officials who defy federal immigration law. Shouldn't you be

558
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>lecturing Mike Johnston and lecturing all your Democrat cronies who

559
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:53.359
<v Speaker 1>prints around bragging about sanctuary city? And yeah, it seems

560
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to me you've got other concerns right now, my friend,

561
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Now listen that this whole big lie that jd Vance

562
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>tweeted out, something that would even imply that Trump was

563
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>going to violate court orders is ludicrous. I mean, this

564
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.799
<v Speaker 1>is like, you know, I won't say it's quite like

565
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:17.519
<v Speaker 1>the coup attempt two point zero, but jd Vance said

566
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:22.039
<v Speaker 1>nothing of the sort. Trump has done nothing of the sort.

567
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.559
<v Speaker 1>This is desperate Democrats at this point trying to find

568
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>something to latch onto that will stop their slide into oblivion.

569
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Actually it's kind of a free fall into oblivion right now.

570
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>What were they in the last Quinnipieck poll thirty one

571
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>percent proofal in America And I don't know where those

572
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty one percent come from. Eight y five for zero

573
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:46.359
<v Speaker 1>five eight two five to five. Jdvance is threatening nothing

574
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 1>of the sort. And what's happening is in a way

575
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:53.319
<v Speaker 1>a very positive thing for America. The Democrats are losing

576
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.960
<v Speaker 1>their minds. It's a it's a very obvious communal nervous

577
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.640
<v Speaker 1>breakdown on their part in front of the public. And

578
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:04.839
<v Speaker 1>that is so important, so important long term, because you've

579
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>still got so many people who vote Democrat out of

580
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:09.319
<v Speaker 1>habit and they have no idea the party is this

581
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:12.279
<v Speaker 1>whack right now. But now the whackery is hard to

582
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.799
<v Speaker 1>ignore and avoid, and that that's a good thing. That's

583
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a good thing because a lot fewer people be voting

584
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:20.519
<v Speaker 1>for them in the future. Hopefully here in Colorado too,

585
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Dan f the Union, what's all this.

586
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:24.480
<v Speaker 2>F word stuff? Today?

587
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:28.119
<v Speaker 1>I know we've got to elevate the discourse here f

588
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:31.079
<v Speaker 1>the unions. Unions equal higher prices and more dollars to

589
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the Communist Party aka Democrats, sincerely, Abe, Well, thanks for

590
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:38.720
<v Speaker 1>this sincerely. First of all, listen, unions are like people.

591
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Unions are like companies. Unions are like anything else in life.

592
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:44.759
<v Speaker 1>There are some good ones, there are some great ones,

593
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:46.640
<v Speaker 1>there are some okay ones, there are some bad ones.

594
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>So a statement that broad, I think is just not

595
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:54.680
<v Speaker 1>credible on its face. When I talk about all I'm

596
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about here, I'm not talking about some big global

597
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:01.359
<v Speaker 1>philosophical thing. I'm just talking about I got a lot

598
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.279
<v Speaker 1>of experience going to King Supers. I got a lot

599
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:08.359
<v Speaker 1>of experience interacting with those people. I've been involved in

600
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:12.559
<v Speaker 1>some major litigation against major grocery store chain. I know

601
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>something about that industry. I haven't sued Kroger, by the way,

602
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:18.880
<v Speaker 1>not in some big corporate deal. I've sued him in

603
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>some serious injury cases, but not some big corporate deal.

604
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.799
<v Speaker 2>So all I'm saying is I like going to King Supers.

605
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I really like the workers, and I think that the

606
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:32.680
<v Speaker 1>workers should get taken care of. If I've seen no

607
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:35.720
<v Speaker 1>evidence whatsoever that if the workers get what they want,

608
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 1>that somehow Kroger won't be able to still make billions

609
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:41.039
<v Speaker 1>and billions of dollars every year.

610
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:42.240
<v Speaker 2>And I want them to prosper.

611
00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:45.759
<v Speaker 1>That they provide a very valuable service to our community

612
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and I've always enjoyed going into their stores.

613
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I want them to prosper.

614
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>But key to prospering is having a happy, healthy workforce.

615
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 1>And from everything I've heard, I just think I want

616
00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 1>to support the workers here. If you have some good

617
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>reason not to love to have that conversation. Let's go

618
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to beautiful Problo, Colorado talk to Patrick Defund. The Police

619
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.920
<v Speaker 1>was his T shirt. It was absolutely brilliant. Patrick, Welcome

620
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:11.839
<v Speaker 1>to the show. I thought, after that T shirt, you

621
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>must be calling us from your private jet.

622
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.400
<v Speaker 5>Hello, den boy. I wish not much of a marketer,

623
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 5>but you know, I even gave a lot of them away,

624
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.480
<v Speaker 5>but I was happy to do it. I donated funds

625
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.240
<v Speaker 5>to Heidi's campaign. That's wonderful of them anyway.

626
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 2>So you're marketing your way to have it.

627
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 5>But hey, I was more on your Who's story. I've

628
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:41.359
<v Speaker 5>been wanting to talk to you since I heard some

629
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:46.119
<v Speaker 5>of your first comments. My first experience with the WHO

630
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.880
<v Speaker 5>was nineteen seventy one at the Denver Coliseum on the

631
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.680
<v Speaker 5>second night it was a Saturday Sunday show. I had

632
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:57.599
<v Speaker 5>a ticket. I saw the Who with all the original members,

633
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.400
<v Speaker 5>and all I got to say is that lady called

634
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:03.839
<v Speaker 5>in earlier. I wish he could have seen that show

635
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:06.240
<v Speaker 5>or any of the other numerous ones that I saw,

636
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:11.359
<v Speaker 5>like A Mile High and Boulder. But at the original

637
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:14.240
<v Speaker 5>show that I saw them at, we were able to

638
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:17.960
<v Speaker 5>sneak behind some people after the show and get in

639
00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:23.400
<v Speaker 5>backstage and I got to meet every member. That's great

640
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:24.680
<v Speaker 5>done in twistle.

641
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:26.920
<v Speaker 2>That's a great story.

642
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:31.720
<v Speaker 5>I bought a guitar that shortly after that, like a

643
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 5>week or two afterwards, and a funny story. I was

644
00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 5>just trying to learn to play it, and my mom

645
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 5>was a real jokester, and after about a week she

646
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.279
<v Speaker 5>said I got a suggestion. I said, what's that? She said,

647
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.799
<v Speaker 5>why don't you just smash it like he does?

648
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, mom, Patrick, appreciate the call.

649
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm sure I probably would have received a suggestion

650
00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:58.599
<v Speaker 1>like that if I had a guitar. No, my mom

651
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.079
<v Speaker 1>was totally supportive of everything musical. But thank you Patrick

652
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:05.720
<v Speaker 1>for that call. Texter Dan, how does she referring to

653
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the union president who joined us. Expect higher wages and

654
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:11.639
<v Speaker 1>more staff, but you mentioned lower prices. It just doesn't

655
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:14.400
<v Speaker 1>work that way when King Sooper's profit margins are so low.

656
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Texter, great text. Yes, the profit margins are

657
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:20.719
<v Speaker 1>very low, and I don't claim to be a grocery

658
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:24.440
<v Speaker 1>industry expert. The profit margins are very low, but they

659
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>do a very, very high volume. And that's why, if

660
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the last numbers I saw were accurate, Kroger I think

661
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:33.039
<v Speaker 1>had net profits last.

662
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Year of three or four billion. And listen, I want

663
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:37.559
<v Speaker 2>them to prosper. They provide a great service.

664
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:39.239
<v Speaker 1>I want them to be able to afford to keep

665
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:41.639
<v Speaker 1>doing it, be motivated to keep doing it, do it

666
00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:44.280
<v Speaker 1>at a high level. But yeah, even though the margins

667
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.320
<v Speaker 1>are low, when you operate on a volume like that,

668
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you can still make billions a year.

669
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's just take care of the workers. You're on the

670
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:50.840
<v Speaker 2>den Kapla show.
