Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. ABC News has
Speaker 1: become so profoundly dishonest, and unfortunately we have ABC News
Speaker 1: at the top of each hour here and then we
Speaker 1: have our award winning newsroom and our award winning newsroom
Speaker 1: the second News cast. You can trust everything they say.
Speaker 1: ABC News just garbage. Did you hear them at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour where they praise the hair of
Speaker 1: stuff and then said Trump will be attending a black
Speaker 1: tie charity dinner tonight, trying to make them sound like
Speaker 1: some kind of loafer, because that's Harris's new theme of
Speaker 1: the day, right, Oh? Is he okay? Kind of garbage?
Speaker 1: And wait a second, it's the al Smith dinner that
Speaker 1: she is ducking because she does not have the intellectual
Speaker 1: capacity to handle the event. And if you can't handle
Speaker 1: the l Smith dinner, which the candidates from both parties
Speaker 1: have gone to for as long as anybody can remember,
Speaker 1: if you can't handle that dinner, you can't handle being precedent.
Speaker 1: So just such dishonesty from ABC. Hey, let's go to
Speaker 1: our friend Dick Wadhams kind enough to join us, Richard,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2: Hey Dan, nice to be with you.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1: One thing I don't think you and I have ever
Speaker 1: talked about is ranked choice voting. I've never really paid
Speaker 1: much attention to it. I know it's on the ballot
Speaker 1: this time around, so I'm starting to dial in, and
Speaker 1: then somebody mentioned to me that you are actually supporting it,
Speaker 1: So I thought I'd better get you on and hear
Speaker 1: what it's all about.
Speaker 2: Well, you bet, Dan, and I did not come to
Speaker 2: this decision to support Proposition one thirty one, which is
Speaker 2: the open primary ranked choice voting proposal on the ballot
Speaker 2: on November fifth. But I did not make this decision
Speaker 2: lightly or quickly. I have watched the Colorado electorate change
Speaker 2: dramatically in the last several years. Yeah, for decades then,
Speaker 2: Colorado was accurately described as a third third Republican, that
Speaker 2: third Democrats, third unaffiliated. Sometimes there'd be a plurality of Republicans,
Speaker 2: other time it's Democrats. Whatever, But it was essentially a
Speaker 2: third to third to third. It was a very competitive process.
Speaker 2: Two thirds of the electorate was registered was one of
Speaker 2: the two political parties, and that's kind of where things stood.
Speaker 2: But ever since twenty ten, twenty eleven, eight hundred thousand
Speaker 2: people have moved to Colorado and the electorate has changed dramatically.
Speaker 2: As of October first, forty six point eight percent of
Speaker 2: the Colorado electorate or I had registered unaffiliated, twenty six
Speaker 2: percent are are Democratic, and the twenty two twenty three
Speaker 2: percent of Republicans. This is a dramatic change in the electorate.
Speaker 2: Voters are saying, we don't like either political party, and
Speaker 2: I think that's something we need to pay attention to.
Speaker 2: And so, and I've also watched the two political parties
Speaker 2: move to their extrains. I mean, the Democrats are increasingly
Speaker 2: influenced by Democratic socialists and the Republican Party unfortunately, is dominated,
Speaker 2: especially in the state's Central Committee, by those who constantly
Speaker 2: propound stolen election conspiracy theories. And so I think that
Speaker 2: that the process needs to be shaken up. I think
Speaker 2: it needs to be opened up. And remember, these primaries
Speaker 2: are our taxpayer finance, and to restrict people from voting
Speaker 2: in primaries like we have to day. I think is
Speaker 2: wrong and I've never really had thought about that before,
Speaker 2: but the fact is they are taxpayer financed. And under
Speaker 2: the proposition one thirty one, we would get rid of
Speaker 2: the Republican and Democratic primary. Is we would have one
Speaker 2: open primary where every Democrat, every Republican, every Libertarian, every vegetarian,
Speaker 2: every springing party, whatever, would run in one open primary,
Speaker 2: and every voter would be able to vote in every primary,
Speaker 2: open primary for every election. It would be totally open.
Speaker 2: The top four finishers in each election would go on
Speaker 2: to the general election, and that would be decided by
Speaker 2: ranked choice voting, and the voters would rank their choices
Speaker 2: one through four, or they could just vote for one
Speaker 2: or two or three, but they have they can rank
Speaker 2: them up to four and then the top. If somebody
Speaker 2: gets fifty percent plus one first the rankings, then they
Speaker 2: win the election. If that doesn't happen, the number four
Speaker 2: candidate is dropped off and the number and their second
Speaker 2: choice votes are reallocated, and then and that happens until
Speaker 2: we have a majority winner. Now it is. It will
Speaker 2: be a big change in the electorate. I think the
Speaker 2: voters are voters are smart, they will pick up on this,
Speaker 2: and they will like the fact that they have so
Speaker 2: much many more choices in elections than they do right now.
Speaker 1: Dick wadhams our guests, what has the practical effect of
Speaker 1: this been across the country. I've always had the impression
Speaker 1: that it works against Republicans, But I know you've worked
Speaker 1: your entire adult life to get Republicans elected. So what's
Speaker 1: been the experience with this.
Speaker 2: Well, I got to tell you. First of all, I'll
Speaker 2: mention that you can't get any more. The Republican Party
Speaker 2: cannot be any more downtrodden than it is right now
Speaker 2: under the present system. But we have been annihilated in
Speaker 2: the last three election cycles eighteen, twenty and twenty two.
Speaker 2: So it's not like the present system is really supporting
Speaker 2: Republican candidates. There are a lot of reasons for that,
Speaker 2: but that's just the fact for the last three election cycles.
Speaker 2: In terms of other states, California has a version of this.
Speaker 2: They have one open primary, the top two go into
Speaker 2: the general election, and then there's a runoff in the
Speaker 2: general election. Alaska has it right now, and I know
Speaker 2: and they use it in twenty twenty two. I know
Speaker 2: there's a There are a lot of people who think, oh,
Speaker 2: it's it resulted in a Democratic congresswoman from Alaska and
Speaker 2: a state that tilt's Republican, But there was a reason
Speaker 2: for that. The fact is that that the Republican the
Speaker 2: republic One of the Republican candidates was the vice presidential
Speaker 2: nominee under John McCain, and she had tremendously high negatives
Speaker 2: and so there was a there was a move to
Speaker 2: for second votes to go to the to the Democratic candidate.
Speaker 2: But think about what happened in Alaska. Van a conservative
Speaker 2: Republican was elected governor, a moderate Republican incumbent US senator
Speaker 2: was re elected for the US Senate, and then I
Speaker 2: would consider her a left of senator Democrat was elected
Speaker 2: to Congress. I think the system worked. The reality, too,
Speaker 2: is is that there is something on the Alaska ballot
Speaker 2: to repeal rank choice voting, open primary rank choice voting.
Speaker 2: That is on the ballot in Alaska in November. And
Speaker 2: I think that's a good thing because that will so
Speaker 2: either the process will be rejected or it will be vindicated,
Speaker 2: and then I think the argument will stop at that point.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens in November. On, that's a
Speaker 2: repeal effort, Dickon.
Speaker 1: In the last couple of minutes we have together, how
Speaker 1: do you see this plane out for Republicans in Colorado
Speaker 1: given the current scenario.
Speaker 2: I think it will. It will force Republican candidates to
Speaker 2: think more about winning a general election than trying to
Speaker 2: play to the party's extreme wing. And I think that's
Speaker 2: will be the ultimate thing. And let me mention one time,
Speaker 2: one specific case of rank choice voting. Virginia confers great latitude.
Speaker 2: The canonate to parties to determine how they nominate candidates.
Speaker 2: The parties pay for their for their nomination processes in Virginia,
Speaker 2: not's the tax payers. The Virginia Republican Party in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one decided to go with rank choice voting and
Speaker 2: their Republican primary for governor. Now have they not done that?
Speaker 4: Dan?
Speaker 2: What I'm told by Virginia Republicans is that a state
Speaker 2: senator who in twenty twenty would have been nominated and
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, the day after the election, she called
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump to void the results of the election
Speaker 2: and to declare martial law. That would have been the
Speaker 2: Republican nominee without rank choice voting as it was. Glenn Youngkin,
Speaker 2: a successful businessman, was the nominee. He went on to
Speaker 2: upset a former Democratic governor, and he has been an
Speaker 2: outstanding governor of Virginia. So that is one of the
Speaker 2: practical results of choice vooting that we have in front
Speaker 2: of the Virginia Well.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you popping on. It's remarkable to me that
Speaker 1: I've never paid more attention to this. I'm going to
Speaker 1: zero in on it now and we'll get some guests
Speaker 1: and on the other side as well. But let's follow
Speaker 1: up on this before election day.
Speaker 2: You bet you bet that many.
Speaker 3: Thank you appreciate the time. Thank you. That is Dick
Speaker 3: Wadams on that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm anxious to get a conversation going on this.
Speaker 1: I want to be a little more intelligent about it
Speaker 1: before we do. So I'm going to start reading some stuff.
Speaker 1: I know that you were telling me Ryan, I know
Speaker 1: after this break, but you were telling me that Ross
Speaker 1: Kaminsky and Mandy Connell I knew the last name, but
Speaker 1: everything he knows that she's like Pelly right, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just Mandy. Yeah, but that they're supporting it.
Speaker 3: They are, which surprised me initially.
Speaker 1: Because my impression has always been obviously superficial that you
Speaker 1: know that it hurt Republicans.
Speaker 3: But I'm saying we want to do a deeper.
Speaker 5: Dive real quick too.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I was texting back and forth with the most recent
Speaker 6: chair of the Republican Party, Christy Burton Brown, and she,
Speaker 6: like me, is against it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, let's have this conversation. Yeah, let's have the conversation.
Speaker 1: It sounded like Dick was paraphrasing Trump to a certain point. Hey,
Speaker 1: what the hell do you have to lose? Right?
Speaker 3: Given up? Bad things are for.
Speaker 1: The gup in Colorado. But no, I'm anxious to dig in. Hey,
Speaker 1: when we come back, lots of stuff that'll put a
Speaker 1: smile on your face if, like me, you want to
Speaker 1: see Trump have a second term. Just a lot of
Speaker 1: good polling and polling trends there. And then one of
Speaker 1: the most evil people in modern history killed today by
Speaker 1: the great Israeli military. And we'll come back and talk
Speaker 1: about as a provable practical matter that there's no inference
Speaker 1: involved here. If Kamala Harris had had her way, Sinwar
Speaker 1: would still be alive. And not only that, have a
Speaker 1: fully protected enclave. You're on the DAN Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7: The Catholic vote is very important. Kama Harrison really doesn't
Speaker 7: seem to be considering it. She is a very sort
Speaker 7: of mixed record in the Senate as the turn in
Speaker 7: general on religious things. And in Pennsylvania, Catholics are, according
Speaker 7: to last exit pols, twenty thirty percent of the population.
Speaker 7: So in a state that's one percent, that's an important constituency.
Speaker 1: Amen And historically, who ever wins the Catholic vote normally
Speaker 1: wins the presidency. Which is not to elevate that among
Speaker 1: any other vote or anything like that, but simply to
Speaker 1: make the point that there's a certain level of cohesion
Speaker 1: in the Catholic community. It's obviously not a monolith, right,
Speaker 1: but there's a certain level of cohesion, and when the
Speaker 1: Catholic vote goes one way, that's normally how the presidency
Speaker 1: is decided. And here I believe that there's every reason,
Speaker 1: every reason to be confident that not only is Trump
Speaker 1: going to win the Catholic vote, but he's going to
Speaker 1: win it resoundingly. And one of the reasons for that,
Speaker 1: obviously is that Kamala Harris has gone to such a preposterous, bizarre,
Speaker 1: slavish extreme in worshiping abortion on demand to the moment
Speaker 1: that babies delivered first vp' to ever visit an abortion clinic,
Speaker 1: for example. But you go beyond that, she's been openly hostile,
Speaker 1: openly hostile as a senator to Catholics. I mean, you
Speaker 1: have had judicial nominees, and you don't get to that
Speaker 1: point of being a judicial nominee normally unless you've really
Speaker 1: accomplished something right, So highly qualified judicial nominees, all of
Speaker 1: them by the way, ended up on the bench approved
Speaker 1: by the Senate who she questioned on their membership in
Speaker 1: Knights of Columbus. And if you don't know about Catholics
Speaker 1: Knights that this is one of the great service organizations
Speaker 1: in the world. It's something any sensible human would be
Speaker 1: proud to be a member of. And she's painting it
Speaker 1: as a negative that should disqualify them from serving on
Speaker 1: the bench. I mean, that's open anti Catholic hostility. Let
Speaker 1: me give you a little taste of that, questioning, Ryan,
Speaker 1: can you tee up seventeen for me?
Speaker 8: There are some questions Harris asked in the Senate Judiciary
Speaker 8: Committee that Catholic voters may want to know about.
Speaker 9: In Article six of the Constitution very explicitly bans religious
Speaker 9: tests for public office, and that's precisely what Kamala Harris did.
Speaker 8: In May twenty eighteen and written questions for the nomination
Speaker 8: of Peter Phipps for the US District Court for the
Speaker 8: Western District of Pennsylvania. Then Senator Harris noted phipps membership
Speaker 8: and the Catholic fraternal organization, the Knights of Columbus, asking
Speaker 8: if he carried out the Knight's mission of defending the
Speaker 8: right to life of every human being from the moment
Speaker 8: of conception to natural debt.
Speaker 1: In November of that.
Speaker 8: Same year, Harris scrutinized another Knights membership, that time with
Speaker 8: nominee Paul Made as he was being considered for the
Speaker 8: US Court of Appeal for the Third Circuit. She asked
Speaker 8: if mate was aware of the Knights of Columbus opposed
Speaker 8: a woman's right to choose, and whether he believes that
Speaker 8: a fetus is entitled to any protection under the US Constitution.
Speaker 8: And then in December twenty eighteen, Harris grills a third
Speaker 8: judicial nominee over his Knight's involvement, Brian Bischer, who was
Speaker 8: nominated to the U. S. District Court for the District
Speaker 8: of Nebraska. Among other questions, whether bishop believed abortion is
Speaker 8: the killing of the innocent on a massive scale, I.
Speaker 9: Mean, really inappropriate questions that have nothing to do with
Speaker 9: a person's ability and their loyalty to this country and
Speaker 9: their previous service.
Speaker 8: Catholic attorney Mary Fiorito looks back on Harris's zeroing in
Speaker 8: on the largest Catholic fraternal organization in the world.
Speaker 9: As someone who was running for higher office. They're always
Speaker 9: looking to where their big donors are standing, and of
Speaker 9: course two of her hugest donors have been, you know,
Speaker 9: advocacy groups for redefinition of marriage and advocacy groups for abortion.
Speaker 8: And response to Harris's past scrutiny of the Nights, the
Speaker 8: Archdiocese of San Francisco, where here has got her political start,
Speaker 8: tells EWTN News in depth, any reasonable and informed person
Speaker 8: would not disparage members of one of the world's largest
Speaker 8: charitable organizations that supports widows, orphans, and the less fortunate.
Speaker 8: The Nights of Columbus adhere to the highest standards of professional,
Speaker 8: ethical and moral conduct.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a hard question, are you
Speaker 1: now or have you ever been involved in the organization
Speaker 1: of a fish fry as a consumer?
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's step it, Thank you, Ryan. It goes on
Speaker 1: for a bit, but very important reporting. So here's my point. Okay,
Speaker 1: particularly in the Blue Wall states, but also down in
Speaker 1: Arizona and some other states. You know that the Catholic
Speaker 1: vote looms very large, and I think Trump is going
Speaker 1: to win it many places by record numbers, and that
Speaker 1: will be the different side of the difference in deciding
Speaker 1: the election in his favor, or the difference between an
Speaker 1: election that would be decided in his favor anyway, then
Speaker 1: turning into a route that will hopefully bring along some
Speaker 1: senators in Congress.
Speaker 3: People.
Speaker 1: But listen to this most recent polling Catholic vote in Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: Trump fifty seven, Harris thirty nine Catholic vote in Michigan
Speaker 1: wherein you can check it out on my Twitter at
Speaker 1: Dan Kaplis. You have the governor of Michigan wearing a
Speaker 1: Harris Walls hat as she mocks Holy Communion.
Speaker 3: She mocks the.
Speaker 1: Holy Eucharist in a very profane and sexualized way. I mean,
Speaker 1: as I said at the time, and I believe it
Speaker 1: actually trying to make sure Harris loses. It's in Whitmer's
Speaker 1: interest that Harris lose and get out of the way.
Speaker 1: But in Michigan right now, you've got Trump up twelve
Speaker 1: in the Catholic vote, You've got Trump up eight in
Speaker 1: the Catholic vote in Arizona, You've got Trump up six
Speaker 1: in the Catholic vote in Georgia. And I think his margins,
Speaker 1: I think his margins are going to be as large
Speaker 1: or larger than that.
Speaker 6: Those are catastrophic numbers, Dan, when you think about it,
Speaker 6: doesn't the Catholic vote, and especially with Joe Biden being
Speaker 6: a Catholic, normally favor the Democratic candidate.
Speaker 1: Well, with Biden, that's the only reason he won. He's
Speaker 1: able to pull off that con. You know, he's self
Speaker 1: identified as a Catholic, and he was able to get
Speaker 1: enough Catholic vote, win the Catholic vote, and win by
Speaker 1: a hair But Kamala Harris can't pull off that con
Speaker 1: and she has, first of all, sheeps not even trying
Speaker 1: to self identify as a Catholic and has had this
Speaker 1: open hostility that we've talked about on the show, so
Speaker 1: Big Factor, and it's one of the many reasons I'm
Speaker 1: very confident. Hey, it's not done right, anything could happen.
Speaker 1: But talk about Catholic hostility. You got the Al Smith
Speaker 1: Dinner tonight. The nominees of the parties have gone to
Speaker 1: it forever, and it's tonight, and it's the Cardinal of
Speaker 1: New York, and it's light and it's humorous, and it
Speaker 1: benefits all these charities and it's a come together moment
Speaker 1: for America.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: And she won't even go talk about open hostility and
Speaker 1: animosity toward.
Speaker 3: Catholic She won't even go to that.
Speaker 1: George Brockler. Next, you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3: What a great day for the world.
Speaker 1: Sinwar is dead, evil personified. And think about it. If
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris had her way, literally, if she had her way,
Speaker 1: he would not only be alive today, he'd be in
Speaker 1: a protective enclave with his army in tech. Because remember
Speaker 1: cut twenty eight plays rund. Remember it was Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: who publicly scolded Israel. Does that sound familiar saying do
Speaker 1: not go into Rafa?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 1: Because she's looked at the maps, Cody.
Speaker 10: We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every
Speaker 10: way that any major military operation in Rafa would be
Speaker 10: a huge mistake. Let me tell you something. I have
Speaker 10: studied the map.
Speaker 3: Stop it can't take anymore.
Speaker 1: She's studied the maps. Well, thank goodness bb Net Niyahu
Speaker 1: didn't rely on Kamala Harris because instead they killed Sinwar
Speaker 1: today and the world's better off. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: VIP line and welcome George Brockler back to the Dan
Speaker 1: Caplis show. Georgia about to be elected the DA in
Speaker 1: Douglas County, Colorado. Is it becomes its own a DA seat? George,
Speaker 1: how goes that grueling campaign?
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, listen, I just don't want to jinx it.
Speaker 4: And I've said this repeatedly, as you know from twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4: I have an Achilles heel and it's inexperienced, ill suited
Speaker 4: attorneys for the job. So I've already been taken down
Speaker 4: once by one. I don't want to challenge the fates
Speaker 4: and mose to another.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do not see that happening, my friend. But yes,
Speaker 1: we will wait until election data formal. But glad you're
Speaker 1: with us today. First question is what's the line tonight?
Speaker 1: I know New Orleans must be favored, right, but by
Speaker 1: how many?
Speaker 4: That's a great question. I haven't looked recently. I've been
Speaker 4: caught up here watching my Yankees lose or losing to.
Speaker 3: The Oriols, well, the Orioles. That wasn't that like light
Speaker 3: years ago? Aren't Oh?
Speaker 1: The Guardians?
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, no.
Speaker 3: It's so good news, good news. Yeah, that was weeks.
Speaker 4: Ago the Guardians. Okay, said Indians.
Speaker 3: But Guardian yeah no, no, it either would work.
Speaker 1: Where where's that series at?
Speaker 4: I mean what we're in They're in Cleveland right now,
Speaker 4: They're in jd Vance's state.
Speaker 1: But I thought Yankees are up. But in any case,
Speaker 1: my friend I Digress, I was wondering about the Broncos
Speaker 1: because there's still what about no hour to game time?
Speaker 1: But I've yep, I've got, for some reason, a good
Speaker 1: feeling about that game tonight. But hey, let's talk about
Speaker 1: one twenty eight and one thirty propositions one twenty eight
Speaker 1: and one thirty, longer prison minimum prison time in one
Speaker 1: twenty eight, and more law enforcement funding in thirty. So
Speaker 1: tell folks all about that place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, one twenty eight shouldn't be necessary in a
Speaker 4: state that was reasonable or transparent or head truth and sensing.
Speaker 4: Our law right now on paper says that a violent
Speaker 4: criminal has to serve seventy five percent of their sentence
Speaker 4: before they're parole eligible. But that turns out to be
Speaker 4: a big, fat lie because of things that have been
Speaker 4: built into the law and the parole system like earn
Speaker 4: time and good time, neither of which are actually premised
Speaker 4: on earning or being good. It turns out that most
Speaker 4: almost all violent criminals, short of life without parole that's
Speaker 4: your first degree murders, they become parole eligible after about
Speaker 4: forty six percent of their sentence. And this is a
Speaker 4: provision that would say we're done with the games, we're
Speaker 4: done with the garbage. You're going to serve eighty five
Speaker 4: percent of your time before you get looked at for parole.
Speaker 1: Now, I may have to imagine that's polling very well.
Speaker 4: I think the polling is actually really very good on this,
Speaker 4: and it's hard to find opposition outside of the ACLU
Speaker 4: and their political arm who opposes this, and some defense
Speaker 4: attorneys as well. But it's the only thing that makes sense.
Speaker 4: I mean, right now, when someone is sentenced to prison
Speaker 4: on a violent crime, it's not murder. Nobody on the
Speaker 4: planet Earth can tell you what the minimum amount of
Speaker 4: time that they'll serve is, and that's not fair to victims,
Speaker 4: the community, or the defendant for that matter.
Speaker 1: Right now, and I've got to believe that that Polus
Speaker 1: and the rest of the Democratic leadership in the state
Speaker 1: Democratic Party leadership are way out of touch with even
Speaker 1: a lot of rank and file Democrats when it comes
Speaker 1: to public safety, because I don't think they care about
Speaker 1: public safety. I think they care about, you know ingratiating
Speaker 1: themselves with the far left that has the big money.
Speaker 1: But tell us about one thirty place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one thirty's back to the blue. This is one
Speaker 4: that probably hits you in a pretty sweet spot then,
Speaker 4: given the career servant that your father was out there
Speaker 4: in Chicago doing the omens work behind the badge. This
Speaker 4: is one that takes a look at what we've done
Speaker 4: to law enforcement over the last four or five years
Speaker 4: in that post George Floyd Earraw, where we have demoralized police.
Speaker 4: We've caused numbers to not stay on the job. We've
Speaker 4: caused a bunch more to not ever seek to be
Speaker 4: police officers that should be. We've put them on their
Speaker 4: heels at a time when my God we need them
Speaker 4: to be proactive as ever, and it says we're going
Speaker 4: to take three hundred and fifty million dollars of existing
Speaker 4: tax money that doesn't require any new taxes. We are
Speaker 4: tying the legislature's hands and telling them you will give
Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty million dollars to the Division of
Speaker 4: Public Safety, and Division public Safety will then give that
Speaker 4: out to other communities in the form of grants so
Speaker 4: that they can do recruiting, training, retention, and oh, by
Speaker 4: the way, the thing we never hope they need the
Speaker 4: money for, and that is a million dollar depth benefit
Speaker 4: for law enforcement officers who die in the line of duty.
Speaker 4: I had four of them under when I was district attorney.
Speaker 4: So this happens, including guys like Zach Paris that actually
Speaker 4: could have been number five, Zach Parish. This stuff happened,
Speaker 4: and it's an attempt to try to tell law enforcement,
Speaker 4: we need you to be proactive in the dangerous situations
Speaker 4: where we need to put you between us and evil,
Speaker 4: and we want you to have that peace of mind that,
Speaker 4: my God, if the worst or the worst happens, your
Speaker 4: family will.
Speaker 1: Be taken care of well in respect right, I mean,
Speaker 1: as you said, initially. You know, there's been so much
Speaker 1: disrespect from the elected left toward law enforcement, just showing
Speaker 1: respect in a tangible way, and it is kind of
Speaker 1: social suicide right to be undermining law enforcement and law
Speaker 1: enforcement recruiting. You know, who do poll Us and Hickenlooper
Speaker 1: and Bennett's who do they think is going to protect them?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Well they think the law enforcement they've demoralized, you're
Speaker 4: going to protect them. And if you first off both
Speaker 4: of these measures, I think folks should look at and say,
Speaker 4: thank god, we have an initiative process here in Colorado
Speaker 4: where the voters can do an end run around whoever's
Speaker 4: in charge under the Gold Dome, because these things wouldn't
Speaker 4: exist without the legislature would not prioritize either or incarceration
Speaker 4: of the truly bad guys, or empowering and embolding law enforcement.
Speaker 4: They wouldn't do that. So this is hats off to
Speaker 4: us to be able to put something like this on
Speaker 4: the ballot. But you're right, the people in power don't
Speaker 4: really care about public safety. They give it lip service.
Speaker 4: I remember Polis saying that he wanted Colorados a few
Speaker 4: years ago, Polus saying he wanted to Colorada to be
Speaker 4: in the top ten.
Speaker 3: Safest states in all for himself.
Speaker 4: Well, right, but now we're like top three unsafest.
Speaker 1: He has his own security squad, right, he lives in
Speaker 1: this money bubble. He lives in this protection bubble with
Speaker 1: his own security squad. Do you think can I haven't
Speaker 1: said this about many other Democrats before, but do you
Speaker 1: think he truly cares at all about anybody else out
Speaker 1: there their safety? Because if he does, he has a
Speaker 1: strange way of showing it.
Speaker 4: Well, his policies are completely ineffective and upside down. And
Speaker 4: for a guy who wants to run for president after
Speaker 4: Trump's next term, it seems to me he's putting himself
Speaker 4: in a position to wear a big black eye over
Speaker 4: public safety. And you're right, I think for him right now,
Speaker 4: crime doesn't touch him, doesn't touch anyone he cares about
Speaker 4: anything he owns. It's kind of hard to see how
Speaker 4: it really impacts everyday people. And that's why he's able
Speaker 4: to say with such confidence that the Venezuelan issue with
Speaker 4: those couple of apartment complexes is a feature of Daniel Shrink,
Speaker 4: He's imagination because it just doesn't affect him.
Speaker 1: And I think Georgia comes back to I don't think
Speaker 1: he is concerned about a black guy because at this point,
Speaker 1: I don't think he thinks the truth matters. I think
Speaker 1: that he believes the media is going to protect him,
Speaker 1: right the infamous words of John Hickenloopert to Kusa, Hey,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to protect me from this stuff?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Why did Hick think that? Because they do it.
Speaker 1: So between his money bubble and between media protection, I
Speaker 1: don't think he's worried at all about the truth.
Speaker 4: I don't either, And I think that other than shows
Speaker 4: like yours and Ryan's and some of the others on
Speaker 4: the dial out there, they're just is no either. It's
Speaker 4: it's a lack of interest, like a lack of true
Speaker 4: curiosity or a lack of resources or some combination of
Speaker 4: the boat that this just isn't on their radar. I mean,
Speaker 4: the Denver Post has largely de emphasized the crime wave
Speaker 4: that took place in the things that are he Wow, yeah,
Speaker 4: why would he worry about it? Can I throw out
Speaker 4: one other thing? There is an amendment I that's on
Speaker 4: the ballot. Not yet, not yet, you'll be on the bouts.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4: So there was a provision we had in our constitution
Speaker 4: that said that everybody that's accused of a crime is
Speaker 4: entitled to bail unless you commit a capital offense. And
Speaker 4: murder had been a capital offense up until police because
Speaker 4: a lot of murders were eligible for the death penalty
Speaker 4: even if we never did ultimately pursue them. Well, once
Speaker 4: police and the legislature did away with our death penalty,
Speaker 4: they took away that capital provision, and the Supreme Court
Speaker 4: rightly came back and said, well, now everyone is entitled
Speaker 4: to bail, even if you're the Club Q shooter, even
Speaker 4: if you're the Boulder mass murder, even if you're the
Speaker 4: Aurora Fear murder. So there's a provision out there called
Speaker 4: Amendment I that would seek to say, hey, we change
Speaker 4: our mind on this. We actually think that in cases
Speaker 4: of first degree murder where the evidence is pretty overwhelming,
Speaker 4: it's called proof evident presumption. Great, we're going to empower
Speaker 4: judges to say you cannot get out of jail until
Speaker 4: your trial because of the crime that you've committed. If
Speaker 4: that doesn't pass, all these mass murders that we're going
Speaker 4: to end up having, they're going to end up being
Speaker 4: entitled to bail.
Speaker 3: Oh my Lord.
Speaker 1: Well, George, thanks for all your great work on this.
Speaker 1: We've got to hit this hard break here, but let's
Speaker 1: talk again next week.
Speaker 4: Love to thank you having me.
Speaker 5: I appreciate the ticulate.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: That is George Brouckler. Hey, when we come back, Trump's
Speaker 1: secret weapon hasn't been talked about nearly enough. You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Campla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 11: This woman, to me is not qualified to you know,
Speaker 11: a dunkin Donuts or a seven eleven. Let her alone
Speaker 11: the corporation that we call the United States of America.
Speaker 11: People want to act like Trump is the worst motherfuck
Speaker 11: in the world. But guess what, he was already president
Speaker 11: and all this you're talking about didn't happen. He didn't
Speaker 11: make hisself a dictator. And this whole about he's going
Speaker 11: to make yourself a dictator is really taken so out
Speaker 11: of context that it's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a Jamar, a rapper?
Speaker 1: Was that Jamar?
Speaker 3: We bumped back with that.
Speaker 5: Was well, he calls himself lord Jamar.
Speaker 6: I know you don't like that.
Speaker 1: I don't like any of that. That this Charlemagne that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like any of that stuff. But anyway, that
Speaker 1: the point being here that he nailed it A and
Speaker 1: n B. I just love seeing now the Harris campaign
Speaker 1: and desperation and venom just soaking in venom now lashing out.
Speaker 1: They're going to spend the rest of the campaign clearly
Speaker 1: not talking about what they have to offer or joy
Speaker 1: or vibes for America, but just this venom spewing at Trump.
Speaker 1: And this is apparently their closing message. And I say,
Speaker 1: please bring it on, because you know, that is the
Speaker 1: worst possible thing they could do for their own campaign,
Speaker 1: and maybe kind of scream therapy for them, but it's
Speaker 1: just going to make them lose worse because guess what,
Speaker 1: Americans have had more than eight years of that, right
Speaker 1: even after Trump won the presidency, you know, you had
Speaker 1: the Russia eye and everything else. And very interesting, isn't
Speaker 1: it that we don't see the Democrats. We haven't seen
Speaker 1: the Democrats hamming away at this quote convicted felon garbage.
Speaker 1: Why because it's clear the American people get it. That
Speaker 1: was an abuse of the criminal justice system. And it's
Speaker 1: the Democrats who are the threat to democracy. They want
Speaker 1: to jail their political opponents, so they're just spewing this
Speaker 1: personal venom at Trump and this Jamar guy.
Speaker 3: He nailed it.
Speaker 1: And it's the fatal flaw in this strategy. The guy's
Speaker 1: already been president. We don't have to guess. We've seen
Speaker 1: him in action. He's already been president. And if you
Speaker 1: don't like it, you don't like it.
Speaker 3: If you do like it, you do like it.
Speaker 1: But we've already seen him in action. So when their
Speaker 1: whole campaign down the stretch is not based on here's
Speaker 1: what we can do for you, but based on no,
Speaker 1: he's so awful. Well, vast majority of people they lived it,
Speaker 1: and whether they hated the guy or loved the guy
Speaker 1: or somewhere in between, they knew that their lives were better.
Speaker 1: Their lives are better off, stuff costs less, and the
Speaker 1: world wasn't on fire. So yeah, they're going to push
Speaker 1: this big lie all the way to the end because
Speaker 1: the left, not Democrats, but the left just consumed by
Speaker 1: hate and they're losing their minds now because they're losing.
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a remarkable experience we have
Speaker 1: together over these next few weeks. Texter says Dan Denver
Speaker 1: giving three tonights. So Denver favored at New Orleans.
Speaker 5: That's no, Kelly looked that one up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: See, I've had a good feeling about the game, but
Speaker 1: I was sure Denver was going to be a dog.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll look forward to a good game tonight.
Speaker 1: It's just joined us.
Speaker 3: One thing.
Speaker 1: If if you're tending to favor Kamala Harris, or you
Speaker 1: know you oppose Kamala Harris, if you know somebody in
Speaker 1: Swing States, if you know somebody in Swing States, please
Speaker 1: remind them of this because it's so striking today and
Speaker 1: so real, and there's no gray area here. Her judgment
Speaker 1: is so bad, her ideology is so bad. If she wins,
Speaker 1: her reign as commander in chief is going to be
Speaker 1: catastrophic for this nation and the world. And here's exhibit A. Today,
Speaker 1: every thinking, honest, moral person can agree that Sinwar, the
Speaker 1: evil leader of Hamas and Gaza, who was killed today
Speaker 1: by the Great State of Israel, and thank God for it.
Speaker 1: Everybody can agree that that Sinwar had to be eliminated.
Speaker 1: And what did Kamala Harris want to do? She very
Speaker 1: publicly scolded and chastised and warned Israel, warned of consequences.
Speaker 1: Do not go into Rafa. You must not go into Rafa.
Speaker 1: So if Kamala Harris had her way, and she had
Speaker 1: to know it at the time, right, if Israel has
Speaker 1: kept out of Rafa, well then where's Sinoar going. He's
Speaker 1: going to Rafa and he's going to rebuild his army
Speaker 1: there and he's going to win because he survived and
Speaker 1: his army survived and they're all in Rafa. And that's
Speaker 1: what she was insisting happened. So if she had her way,
Speaker 1: Sinwar is alive today, not only alive today, but in
Speaker 1: a protected enclave of Raffa. People have hopefully Donald Trump
Speaker 1: will hammer that and people will realize that and ponder that.
Speaker 1: But remember, Ryan, how could anybody ever question her because
Speaker 1: she studied the maps? Do we have time for twenty eight?
Speaker 1: What a great way to down the show.
Speaker 10: We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every
Speaker 10: way that any major military operation in Rafa would be
Speaker 10: a huge mistake. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: I have studied the maps ended there, Yes, studied the maps.
Speaker 1: So wow, how lucky the world is that bb Netnyah
Speaker 1: who trusted his own judgment, not Kamala Harris's, because she
Speaker 1: would have she knew it. Sinware would have had that
Speaker 1: on clave, Hamas would have had that on clave to
Speaker 1: rebuild instead. The great State of Israel does the world
Speaker 1: a great service today. Thank you Bb, Thank you Israel,
Speaker 1: thank you the people of Israel. Thank you Ryan Shuley,
Speaker 1: thank you Kelly and Deb. Please join us tomorrow after
Speaker 1: this great Bronco victory tonight, join us tomorrow on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla Show.
