WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.879 This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast edition 2 00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:05.879 of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to give 3 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.240 us a five star rating if you'd be so kind, 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599 and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.800 single day on your favorite podcast platform. Yeah, but now, 6 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.120 how are we going to cross Broadway to get to 7 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.280 the state Capitol. I just all is lost, my friend 8 00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.640 Polis giving up the ghost right on his bridge to nowhere, 9 00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.480 so we will not have that twenty eight million dollar 10 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:31.359 walkway over Broadway. Hopefully instead, Polus in the LAFT can 11 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.719 just enforce the law, clean up Broadway and people can 12 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.039 cross at the intersection three or three seven one, three 13 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.719 eight two five five the number. Hey we're talking about? 14 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.159 You know, it's a big deal when when a sitting president, 15 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.039 to particularly one with the credibility of Donald Trump and 16 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.280 on a roll right now, comes out and says is 17 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.880 a predecessor Barack Obama that is guilty of treason? That's 18 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.159 a big deal. Does that signal that Trump is expecting 19 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.799 his doj to bring charges? If it does, I don't 20 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:03.759 think it does. But if it does, then I don't 21 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.599 think we're going to see treason charges because that just 22 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.719 wouldn't apply if the allegations are true here and I'll 23 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.519 break that down as we get through the conversation. If, 24 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.599 and I underline if, because again I don't expect charges. 25 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.599 I think it would be more something in the seditious 26 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.000 conspiracy line. And that's because treason is so narrowly defined. 27 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.439 Can you believe the entire history of this nation, there 28 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.640 have only been forty four zero trees in charges brought 29 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.319 and treson the only crime defined by the constitution itself. 30 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.799 So let's roll that tape and then we've got great 31 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.799 textures on this, both sides of it. Do you think 32 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.200 Obama is guilty of crimes? If so, what and do 33 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.319 you want to see a prosecution? Do you expect to 34 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.840 see a prosecution? Cut forty two, please, my friend, cut 35 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:50.319 forty two. 36 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.120 If you look at that those papers, they have a 37 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.680 stone culled and it was President Obama. 38 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.359 It wasn't lots of people all over the place do 39 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.920 but the leader of the gang was President Obama. 40 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:08.280 Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? And except 41 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:09.919 for the fact that he gets shielded by. 42 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.479 The press for his entire life, that's the one they look. 43 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.439 He's guilty Is that a question? You know, I like 44 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.240 to say, let's give it time. It's there. He's guilty. 45 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.280 They this was treason, This was every word you can 46 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:27.680 think of. 47 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.479 They tried to steal the. 48 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:34.280 Election, they tried to obfuscate the election. They did things 49 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.439 that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries. 50 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.840 So what do you think? What do you think? Do 51 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.159 you expect to see a criminal prosecution here? Do you 52 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.439 think Obama is guilty of some kind of provable crime? 53 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.840 Three or three seven one three eight two five five 54 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.960 takes dam five seven seven three nine. Ryan, I'm about 55 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.120 to drop the mic on this one and offer what 56 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.599 I think is conclusive proof that there will not be 57 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:09.639 a prosecution of Barack Obama. And any guesses, And this 58 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.400 is unfair to you because I know you're back there. 59 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.719 You're the OCTOPI man, You're doing a million different things 60 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.479 at once. But and anybody have any guesses on what 61 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.599 my drop is my analytical point that will I think 62 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.840 cosmos to say, boy, Dan, you're right, We're not going 63 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.759 to see criminal charges here. Any guests on that? D 64 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.879 A N five seven seven through nine. If you want 65 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.319 a text, if you're a throwback like me, can you 66 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.080 enjoy a good old fashioned conversation, Agree or disagree? Three 67 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.520 oh three seven one three A two five five the number. 68 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:41.879 Not to be clear. 69 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.479 Dan, Are you saying no prosecutions against Barack Obama? Because 70 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.000 I'm with you on that one. I think the odds 71 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.360 are heavily against that happening. If i'd have bet money, 72 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.240 that's not But what about a Brennan? What about a clapper? 73 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.159 What about a Komi? 74 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.400 We'll get to that. Did you ever buy or have 75 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.560 you ever seen a clapper? Remember that invention in the tart? 76 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.639 Yeah, highlights on and off? That's right? 77 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.039 Yeah, okay, so I could get awkward at a supporting men. 78 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.639 But anyway, Yeah, here's how we know there's not going 79 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:16.040 to be a criminal prosecution of Barack Obama because President 80 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.959 Trump has publicly declared him guilty. If they were actually 81 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:26.079 preparing to indict him, to prosecute him, President Trump would 82 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.519 not have posted that video or reposted the video of 83 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.120 Obama being put in handcuffs in the Oval Office while 84 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.759 Trump smiled and laughed, and President Trump wouldn't have come 85 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.639 out and heard the sound said what we just heard 86 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:41.199 in that sound? 87 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:41.480 Right? 88 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.160 If there was really going to be a prosecution. President 89 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:50.800 Trump would not have done either of those, saying, yeah, 90 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.360 I think it's that clear. I think what's going on 91 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.480 is President Trump is righteous anger because like him, I 92 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.000 do believe that Barack Obama. I'm talking about moral culpability here. 93 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.639 I believe Barack Obama intentionally intentionally launched and supported this 94 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:15.040 coup attempt by falsely implying that President Trump hadcluded with 95 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.680 Russia to win the office, and so many bad things 96 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.560 flowed from that. Right, But I think I do not 97 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.720 expect a criminal prosecution. I think President Obama way too 98 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.600 smart to have put himself in a position to be prosecuted. 99 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.680 I'm talking about moral culpability and a grave disservice to 100 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:37.920 Donald Trump in this nation. I do believe that occurred. 101 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.600 So what I think we're witnessing, my friend, is President 102 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.720 Trump using his platform to try to convict Obama in 103 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.399 the court of public opinion, knowing that there's not going 104 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:54.160 to be a criminal prosecution. Sounds like you agree. 105 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.600 I can't counter that, because again, if I'm a betting man, 106 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.000 I'll believe it when I see it. The publicans will 107 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.759 take it up a notch to that level. Whereas we 108 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.959 know dan situation reversed even far less than that. Specious 109 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.319 evidence of you know, conjecture led to President Trump being 110 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.439 the target of weaponized lawfair by the Department of Justice 111 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:16.000 under Biden. 112 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.560 But look what happened, and Trump does want that to 113 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.160 be him. I mean, that helped take down the Biden administration. 114 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:26.680 That was a really significant part of Trump's victory. Like 115 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.000 we were saying all along to the campaign, Americans don't 116 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.879 want to live in a Banana Republic, and that includes 117 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.480 a lot of people who don't like Trump. So yeah, 118 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.240 I don't think I don't think Trump has any interest 119 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.240 in his DOJ bringing charges that they cannot prove, cannot 120 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.240 win on, and I don't think we're going to see 121 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.759 any of that. So your good question, you know about 122 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.279 Clapper and the rest of them. You know, I'm not 123 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.879 trying to duck it. I just don't have access to 124 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.240 the information i'd need to answer it. I think they 125 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.519 were all guilty on a moral level of a grave 126 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.600 disservice to Trump in this for the reasons I laid out. 127 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.000 But as you know, it's a grand canyon man between 128 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.879 that and what you need to go in and bring 129 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:13.560 and prove a criminal prosecution. Right, So yeah, I'd say 130 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.000 ninety nine point nine to one against any charges against 131 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.439 Obama and then the others. I think it's it's fifty 132 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.240 to fifty because I can't know what they have and 133 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.759 what they don't have. So if you're betting, say you're 134 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.319 betting the Bugatti, which way do you go on this. 135 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.920 No charges, it's all smoke, And it's really frustrating because 136 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.639 then it makes it look like Dan that the Democrats, 137 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.439 when they're empowered, they can get away with whatever the 138 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.040 hell they want to do, and they're never held to 139 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.839 account and there's no precedent set and there's no deterrent 140 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.720 from this happening again in the future. 141 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.720 Well, I think Trump just set a pretty good precedent 142 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.920 by beating them, right, But we do have to play 143 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.639 this because this just this brings it back to the 144 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.439 reality of what this Democratic Party has become. And it's 145 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.480 so important that we continue to expose that because that's 146 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.279 going to be a winning long term And this happens 147 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.600 to be the current Democrat leader in Congress. How came 148 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.040 Jeffries cut thirty six place? Donald Trump? 149 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:12.600 One has still singularly failed to acknowledge that Russia attacked 150 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.720 our democracy. It was an act of war by a 151 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.040 hostile foreign power, perhaps done as part of a conspiracy 152 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.879 with members of the Trump campaign to sell out our 153 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:30.040 democracy and artificially put someone into sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. 154 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.840 Here's the question, and I'm not aiming to say, came Jefferies, 155 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:34.600 look at the log in my own eye, But here's 156 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:40.879 the question. By definition, do people who lie not believe 157 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:46.279 in God? Right? And I've never claimed to be perfect 158 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:47.519 about anything. 159 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:47.240 But. 160 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.639 I do believe that this is one of the biggies. Right. 161 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.440 You just can't knowingly lie about people. And I mean 162 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.159 it's right there in the tens. And I'm not trying 163 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.120 to get all philosophical or anything, but but just an 164 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:08.080 analytical point, you know. And let's use the left as 165 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.039 an example here. They're not the only people who lie, 166 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.840 but but right now, it is, it is the core 167 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.759 principle of the left is to lie. It is a tactical, 168 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.919 ongoing principle of theirs. And it's insidious and it's obscene, 169 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.480 and it's it's really cancerous, but it is their tactic 170 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.399 right and make people disprove the lie. And so to 171 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.759 do these people who by definition, they just lie, and 172 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:42.200 they lie intentionally, They lie deliberately. They lie as part 173 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.159 of trying to get what they want politically. Does that 174 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:49.919 mean they don't believe in God? Got really heavy there, Dan, Well, 175 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.799 every now and then, what do you think? 176 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:56.720 I mean? 177 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.200 There might be a through line, a lot of it. 178 00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:59.759 They mean, if you're gonna do a Kamala Harris van 179 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:01.840 die Graham, I bet there's a lot of overlap on it. 180 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.360 What happened to Kelly Beck there with this show? 181 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.159 Oh well, yeah, they've been diaground? 182 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.519 Is okay? Because Lord knows what could be going on 183 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:12.039 back there? 184 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:12.759 Careful? 185 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.879 Oh no, no, I didn't mean that, my lord. So anyway, 186 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:19.840 we'll throw that out there for folks. Three or three 187 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.120 seven one three A two five five the number text 188 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.360 d A N five seven seven three nine Quick heads up. 189 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.879 When we come back, we have to touch on at least 190 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.919 Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's State of the City address, where 191 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.679 where he waxed poetic in a manner surpassed only by 192 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.559 maybe bad Dead Bob. You're on the Dan Caplas. 193 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:48.000 Show And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 194 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.320 Lee boy should be able to play in girls Sport? No, 195 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.519 do you believe that is this, Ronald Robin, Yeah. 196 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.200 This, We'll do a quick rab and then we can 197 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:56.840 move past. 198 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.200 Do you believe that kids under the age of eighteen 199 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.120 should be able to be put on puberty blockers and 200 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.240 then cross sex hormones. 201 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.480 I think parents have to make that decision themselves. I 202 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.399 think that is too A child is too young at 203 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.759 eighteen to make that decision has to be made with 204 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.360 a family and that choice. I think before somebody makes 205 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.840 a life decision, they have to think twice about that. 206 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.240 So you disagree then with the Tim Walls policy in 207 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.519 Minnesota where a child who doesn't get affirmed by his 208 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.879 parents can go into Minnesota and get jurisdiction there and 209 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.000 get the parental decision overruled. 210 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.159 Yeah, look, I think these are a life decisions. And 211 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.840 I'm also slightly both. I have two minds. I'm not 212 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:39.240 two minds, but two strains that influence an opinion. One 213 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.039 is a life decision, and a child can't make that decision. 214 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.480 You have to have some moral development and character and judgment, 215 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:47.960 and your. 216 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:49.440 Diction goes on in a while. I wanted to give 217 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:53.720 people a taste that's from Emmanuel obviously positioning for twenty 218 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.200 eight trying to get a center lane. And it's so 219 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.600 interesting right that again this study of Jared Polus, that 220 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.799 that Polus had such an opportunity if he was willing 221 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.720 to show some courage, and he could have done it, 222 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.840 you know, in twenty twenty three and just come out 223 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.440 and said time for a new generation of leadership. Biden 224 00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:15.440 blah blah blah, no longer up to it, but just 225 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.120 didn't have the courage to make that move. And so 226 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.159 Poulis had been positioning to try to pull the con 227 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.840 that he was a moderate. Is is that's all gone 228 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:27.120 now right? He had his moment and he just didn't 229 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.519 have what it took to take him three or three 230 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.840 seven one three eight two five five the number text 231 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.240 d A N five seven seven three nine our own 232 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:37.080 Alexa on the line, Alexa, how you doing. 233 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.679 I'm doing great. I think you can tie Polus and 234 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:47.840 Mayor Mikey together. And these two politicians are completely out of. 235 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:48.879 Such with reality. 236 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:55.759 Poulis with what was it ninety error almost ninety percent 237 00:12:55.919 --> 00:13:00.919 of people saying no to the bridge ninety three point 238 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:01.720 nine percent? 239 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:06.559 Who is eighty seven? I know? 240 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:07.159 I know? 241 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.159 And then Mayor Mikey with saying, hey, we all got 242 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.759 to work together and make this a vibrant city. Well, 243 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.840 you're the one that said we're going to take care 244 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.919 of the homeless problem and all these things, and it 245 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:24.639 hasn't worked. And I think Denver voters might have been 246 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:29.080 sympathetic and said, yeah, raise our taxes, well, we'll help 247 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.840 the homeless. As you know, mister Calderer says, you know, 248 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.639 if you want more of something, subsidize it, and we're 249 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.559 just going to continue getting more and more and more homeless. 250 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:44.879 By the way, his one of Mayor Mikey's favorite bars 251 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.759 is closing down after eighteen years. 252 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:49.799 He's he's not. 253 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.399 Maybe he does because he's definitely out of touch with 254 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.519 the average citizen that lives in his city. 255 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.159 You know, let me suggest it tweak on that, Alexa, 256 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.519 and that is, I personally believe that that both Mayor 257 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:10.080 Johnston and Governor Polis are not out of touch. They 258 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:15.240 completely understand what the truth is, and they understand where 259 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.200 people are at. They just don't care and. 260 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.639 Very very often they just don't. 261 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.039 Care what the truth is and they don't care what 262 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.240 the people want. Because if you are and I know 263 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.519 it's hard for you as just a good, decent, righteous 264 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.480 person to wrap your minder on this. But if you're 265 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:34.360 in democratic politics right now, right in most places in America, 266 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.799 the only thing that matters to you, because this is 267 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.759 what that party's become. The only thing that matters to 268 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:44.480 you is pleasing the hardcore lefties because that's where the 269 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.279 big money and power is. Right So with both both 270 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.440 Polists and Johnston's, it's been kind of a double middle 271 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:55.679 finger to Coloraden's because they're looking at the clock. And 272 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:59.399 for Johnston, he believes that the really really awful stuff, 273 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.360 I mean, it's bad enough now, but the really crash 274 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:06.759 level stuff isn't going to occur until he's gone gone 275 00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.440 on to the next job. And Polish is betting the 276 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.279 same thing too, And so I think they know and 277 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:17.759 they just don't care. Yeah, I think I think you're right. 278 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:19.840 I mean, you just look at our roads. 279 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.080 I was on c for some of you today and 280 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.000 it's so atrocious. I mean that we pay these delivery 281 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:32.519 fees for all of our packages and such, and where's 282 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.960 that you know, money going. It's not improving our roads. 283 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.720 And the money we're paying into the city and County 284 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.399 of Denver at which I avoid at all costs, is 285 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.919 not making it a better place. 286 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.240 Right, But their bet is whether it's Polish justin any 287 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.240 of them. Right that their bet said, whoever wins the 288 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.799 DEM primary wins the election. Their bet is the GOP 289 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.720 cannot win in Colorado no matter how bad the Dems are. 290 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.960 So you please the hardcore on the left, you get 291 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.679 your money, you win your primary, it doesn't matter how 292 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.879 bad you have made things for the people who live 293 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.320 in your jurisdiction. And that's clearly their operating belief. And 294 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:16.679 looking at what happened in twenty and twenty two in Colorado, 295 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.240 you can see where they got there. 296 00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:25.720 Yeah, it's really sad. And you know, I really wonder 297 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.559 in many of the cities who've already seen devastated by 298 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.919 Democrat leadership, what will it take for the because of 299 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.600 Denver and Boulder to wake up? 300 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.480 Well, this will shock you, I mean statewide. I think 301 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.519 what it'll take is it'll take a combination of just 302 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.639 all the awful things happening to the state because of 303 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.960 the left, but the combination of that and the right 304 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.360 GOP candidate. I think you get one breakthrough GOP win 305 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:58.440 at the state level, and assuming she or he is 306 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.159 you know, everything they need to be to win statewide. 307 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.799 Then I think the tide begins to shift and change 308 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:08.920 dramatically once you get that one breakthrough win, because right 309 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.519 now that the GOP in Colorado does not have a face, 310 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.519 right the Republican Party, just to your average good person 311 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.680 on the street, there's no face of the Colorado Republican Party. 312 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.279 You get that statewide winner, all of a sudden, that 313 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.440 person becomes the face if Jane Norton had won that 314 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.000 US Senate race back in whatever year it was, she 315 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.480 becomes the face of the GOP in Colorado. And I 316 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.799 think the entire trajectory is different. But hey, prayers for you. 317 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.480 You are the toughest Omburst around and I know you've 318 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.720 got another challenge tomorrow. So we'll all be thinking of you, 319 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.960 all right, look forward to talking to you. Then, Hey, 320 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:46.200 when we come back, President Trump calls Obama directly says 321 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.319 he committed treason. Do you expect to see a prosecution? 322 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:51.079 I'll tell you why I don't. 323 00:17:51.160 --> 00:18:01.200 You're on the Dan Tapita showstening to the Dan Kaplis 324 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:02.039 Show podcast. 325 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.680 This what you should have done months ago before you 326 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.279 announced that you were going forward with a bridge. 327 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:09.480 Well, we couldn't because there was no bridge for people 328 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.279 to vote on, right, So I mean it has to 329 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.839 be in sequence. The people would have not known what 330 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.720 we were talking about had we done this three months ago, 331 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.880 because there was no visuals, there was no project. So 332 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.160 thanks to that, which is all very recent. This is 333 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.640 all what about a month or two. People have been 334 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.680 out there, people have been talking about it. You know, 335 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:29.720 it's great you go down to corner bar, people saying 336 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:30.799 they love it, people say they hate it. 337 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.480 It's great. People are feeling ownership and passionate about this. 338 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:35.119 So what does that all mean and how do we 339 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:37.279 kind of decipher that into whether we do this or not? 340 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:43.119 Completely untethered from the truth, right, just make stuff up? 341 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.160 I mean the idea that people are at the corner 342 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.839 bar talking about this, no bar any of us would 343 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.680 ever want to go to, and no bar that's ever existed, 344 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.240 and what you can't go out? I mean, and keep 345 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.440 in mind, this is a guy whose parents built a 346 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:04.039 tremendous greeting card company, I mean, really admirable entrepreneurs. And 347 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:06.680 you know he had some success in business as well. 348 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:09.400 You tell me you've never heard of focus groups, You've 349 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.119 never heard of a prototype. You got to go out 350 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.359 and spend a million and a half bucks, and you know, 351 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:15.519 people to draw this nah, you go out, you get 352 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.039 the concept, you do a focus group, you find out. 353 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.480 So the whole thing is just so bizarre. But what 354 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:24.039 is most important is, and this is what affects your 355 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.200 life the most, is we've reached this point that I 356 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.240 never could have imagined, where we now have one major 357 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.880 political party happens to control virtually all of Colorado that 358 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.440 there's not only no respect for the truth, but revels 359 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.920 in lyne It's a primary tactic of theirs to lie. 360 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.039 It's a point of pride within many on the left. 361 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:47.119 I'm not talking about Democrats, but many in power on 362 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:50.480 the left. It's a point of pride to lie. And 363 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:54.880 so they revel in it, they celebrate it, they refine 364 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.440 the quote art kind of a dark art, a black art, right, 365 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.480 because the truth is that if everything doesn't spring off 366 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:05.880 the truth, then at that point it's just evil and wrong. 367 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.680 So we've got a major political party now that's that's 368 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:15.200 built on lies and actively practices lying, and that makes 369 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.359 the climb even tougher. But we can't whine about it. 370 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.119 We just have to expose them and beat them three 371 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.559 or three seven one three A two five five text 372 00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:28.799 d An five seven seven three nine Ryan not to 373 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.039 be a bummer. I do want to interject this topic though, 374 00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.039 because I don't know the answer to it, and I'm 375 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.839 trying to reach the vision of wildlife. But as I mentioned, 376 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.279 as you know, I'm up in the cavin preparing for 377 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.319 a trial. And I even sent you a picture before 378 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:47.640 the show of our our listener, our big eared listener, 379 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.839 who's now back, this deer who for whatever reason likes 380 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.039 to just settle in and listen to the show. But 381 00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.039 here's my quandary, and it's very sad, but there is 382 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:02.799 another deer obviously seriously injured. I don't know how it happened, 383 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.160 but it's just kind of limped off behind the cabin. 384 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:12.480 I'm trying to reach a wildlife. But if you can't 385 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:16.480 reach wildlife, if you can't get wildlife up here quickly enough, 386 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.079 what are the laws that apply? Is there ever a 387 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:24.720 situation where it's legal for a citizen to you mainly 388 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:29.599 put down a deer or another animal, because nobody wants 389 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:34.519 to see a creature suffer. So if anybody has the 390 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:36.119 answer for that, and I know there will be people 391 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.039 in our audience to do. Do you remember that very compelling 392 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:43.160 woman who joined us about six months ago and there 393 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.039 had been a wounded was it an elk on her 394 00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:50.400 property stuck in the snow, and then she had been 395 00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:53.039 calling and trying to get a response, and then the 396 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:58.960 elk had perished? Do you remember that conversation? And under 397 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:03.160 what circumstances any and maybe none, a citizen is allowed 398 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:04.880 to mainly put an animal down? 399 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.640 Well, if it's suffering, Dan, I think the general consensus 400 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.720 is that you are within your rights to, you. 401 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.480
