WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.879 This is Dan Kaplis and welcome to today's online podcast edition 2 00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:05.879 of The Dan Kaplis 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 --> 00:00:15.880 single day on your favorite podcast platform. Yeah, it wasn't 6 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.280 a seap fighting, right, because we're making so much progress, 7 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.199 but there's still. 8 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:22.920 So much that has to be stopped. 9 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.559 In its tracks eight five five for zero five two 10 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.559 five to five the number text d an five seven 11 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.960 seven three nine. These celebration continues as it should, right 12 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.280 because again today we see a major breakthrough. Now listen, 13 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.200 this is not the most perfect deal in the world, 14 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.679 but we see a major breakthrough that would not have 15 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.880 happened that this, this deal and I'll put it in 16 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.799 quotes between Hamas and Israel, would not have happened without 17 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.759 Trump winning the presidency. I think any honest thinking person 18 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.640 would admit that. But every single day we get some 19 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.759 concrete example of how the country, the world is getting 20 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.679 better because Trump was elected and as we all know, 21 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.719 has not even been sworn in. But that just makes 22 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.879 Monday right. You're just so exciting to even think about 23 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:16.319 because we've seen how careful, and how thoughtful and how 24 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.599 intelligent Trump and his team have been since the moment 25 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.359 they won, and how well they've been planning for this, 26 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.680 and they're already hitting the ground running. And then once 27 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.959 he gets the power to actually put ink on paper 28 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.719 come Monday at noon. 29 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.239 You can bet they have a plan. 30 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.359 So yeah, I could not be more excited to do 31 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.760 you want to get your take on some of the 32 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.400 first things you want to see from President trumpet in 33 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.200 the meantime, so much to talk about and really enjoy 34 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.959 when we talk about these confirmation hearings, right, and just 35 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.680 really enjoy that because to me, this is another example 36 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.680 of the extremely high level of competence that this administration 37 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.159 is already functioning at. 38 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.000 And I think part of that is a product of. 39 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.719 The president having had those four years to think about 40 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.359 what he would do in a next term, but just 41 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.879 the way that his nominees have been able to handle 42 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:11.120 themselves go on the offensive, impress you know, just just 43 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.800 take these democrats on head on. It just says to 44 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:16.879 me a couple of things. One is good choices, but 45 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.599 also preparation, right, just preparation for these hearings. You know 46 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.960 it from your own life. I know it from preparing 47 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:23.759 for trials. 48 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.000 You can tell when people have been thoroughly prepared. 49 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.680 They've gone through murder boards, they've gone through you know, 50 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.159 mock simulations, and these nominees have been thoroughly prepared. So 51 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.560 I just want to enjoy that sound with you. So 52 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.639 we'll play the Bondi sound from today, which I think 53 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.439 I enjoyed a lot more than Adam Schiff and White 54 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:44.639 House and some of these others. 55 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.080 But there's also some of this Hegseth confirmation. 56 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.960 Sound that I want to get to with you because 57 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.280 there's you know, it's a target rich environment. There's so 58 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.360 much great stuff. We couldn't get to all of it yesterday. 59 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.240 So we'll just enjoy that piece together and then we've 60 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.520 got to keep working on I mean, one of them 61 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.879 to me and Lee Larson, legendary radio guy, said this 62 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.000 many many many years ago when I was starting that 63 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.960 the highest form of talk radio, often not always is 64 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.120 cause radio. You know, where talk radio is serving a 65 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.159 function that really no other media can serve or chooses 66 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.000 to serve, and that is being a gathering point, a 67 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.240 rallying point, an investigative tip of the spear for the 68 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.439 community on issues that affect everybody across party lines, and 69 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.840 I've had the privilege of being involved in a lot 70 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.840 of those and leading on a lot of those over 71 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.599 the years, including for example, War Church Hill. But this one, 72 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.159 this one, we are also approaching full force. You know, 73 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.840 this horrible mass killing on the mall, that this serial 74 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.360 killer who the city knew about, that the administration knew 75 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.280 about at some point, and somebody must have, right, it's 76 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.319 my reasonable inference, somebody must have made a decison vision 77 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.039 not to issue a five alarm fire warning to the public. 78 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.039 So I'll brief you on what I'm doing right now 79 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.080 to try to use Colorado law to get to the 80 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.120 bottom of that. I will bet you right now, the 81 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.520 biggest steak in town I guess still National Western, right, 82 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.720 So we may need all the prime cattle they have 83 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.399 for all the stakes we're going to need for this one. 84 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.399 But that Denver forces me into court on this one, 85 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.759 and that rarely happens, but it's happened a few times 86 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.680 now where I submit public records request and they stonewall 87 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.759 and I have to actually go to court. And whether 88 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.199 it's Denver or some other governmental entity, I bet they 89 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.759 force me into court on this one. And when I 90 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.720 say me, it's us right because I'm not doing this 91 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.839 for my own edification. I'm doing it because you have 92 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.600 a right to know. Everybody has a right to know. 93 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.759 Because my belief, and I think we're going to be 94 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.600 able to prove it if we get these documents, I 95 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.680 believe my belief is that somebody made a conscious, knowing 96 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.480 decision to put you and everybody else in Colorado danger 97 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.959 because they knew the only way to protect people from 98 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.720 that serial killer on the mall was to warn them 99 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.079 to stay away. Because the best police force in the world, 100 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.680 they can't stop a serial killer who's determined to kill 101 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.639 because all he has to do is pull that big 102 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.079 butcher knife out from under his coat and start stabbing people. 103 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.480 And today we get the name of the second person 104 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.639 who was killed. According to Denver, his name is Nicholas 105 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:31.160 and I Cholas Burkette b U rk Ett. Heartbreaking, just 106 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.680 thirty four, and we're trying to reach his dad. There's 107 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.600 a gentleman posting on Twitter who identifies himself as the 108 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.480 father of Nicholas Burkett, and we're trying to find a 109 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.279 way to reach him and see if he'll come on 110 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:45.360 air with us. 111 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:46.480 Talk about his son. 112 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.120 But obviously I can't know right now the particulars of 113 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.160 Nicholas Burkette, But I have to believe, like most people, 114 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.040 if he had been aware, if the city had made 115 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.000 him aware, like they should have made every Colorado and 116 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:07.120 everybody within Colorado's borders aware that there was a serial 117 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:11.800 killer loose who was targeting the mall and slashed somebody's throat. 118 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.160 That I think everybody would have stayed away from the mall, 119 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.040 which is why I believe they didn't. 120 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:17.399 Make them aware. 121 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.199 So we're going to use Colorado law try to get 122 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.920 that documents that should the documents that show the truth, 123 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.879 because people need to know if if maryor Johnston knew 124 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.360 any you know, it would be worse if you didn't. Right, 125 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.759 If Mary Johnston knew on Saturday night that that serial 126 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.360 killer or anytime Sunday was targeting the mall and was 127 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.879 out on the loose, and a decision was made not 128 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.160 to warn the public, then that that person needs to 129 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.319 leave office, right, I mean that that would be an 130 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.519 automatic disqualifier for this or any other office. But we 131 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.120 need to know, we need to know when, who knew 132 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.319 what when, and who made that decision eight five five 133 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.079 for zero five two five five takes da N five 134 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:01.000 seven seven three nine. Yeah, you know deal that has 135 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.560 been struck that obviously would not have been struck without 136 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.199 alluming Trump presidency will break that down as well. 137 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:07.959 When we get a chance. 138 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:09.959 But I do want to get into some of this 139 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.720 from today, some of this confirmation sound just so we 140 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:18.079 can enjoy it together, because it's more and more evidence 141 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.519 that this is going to be more than just a 142 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.920 pendulum swing back and forth with you know, Conservatives now 143 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.439 triumphing over the left in this election, and then it 144 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.600 swings back to the left next time. All indications to 145 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:36.439 me are this, assuming Trump and the Republicans governed well, 146 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.079 and I believe they will, this is going to be lasting. 147 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.240 So let's enjoy. Pam Bondi, as you know, nominee for 148 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:43.720 Attorney General. 149 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:45.839 Today, you have. 150 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:52.560 Said that Department of Justice prosecutors will be prosecuted in 151 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:58.680 the Trump White House. What Department of Justice prosecutors will 152 00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.560 be prosecuted? 153 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.920 Imply I said that. 154 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.839 On TV, I said prosecutors will be prosecuted.

I'm afraid there could be multiple more attempts 257 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:09.000 on his life. Well, you have every right to be right, 258 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.679 I mean, we've already seen it twice and this evil 259 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:16.799 around the world, I mean, right now, Donald Trump is 260 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:22.480 by far multitudes the living person on the face of 261 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.120 the earth who poses the greatest threat to the evil actors. 262 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.679 All over the globe. 263 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.519 And so yeah, yeah, you have a right to listen. 264 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.759 I mean, I don't know if you're a person who prays, 265 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.440 I am. I think at this point it's just a 266 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.679 matter of prayer. And as you know, I believe, and 267 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.039 I'm not alone. I know Trump believes it that it 268 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.960 was divine intervention that saved him in Butler, and so 269 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.879 I believe in divine intervention. The Founders believed in divine intervention, 270 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.519 and I think we need we need more divine intervention 271 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.639 to keep President Trump safe eight five five for zero 272 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.759 five A two five five text d An five seven 273 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.840 nine Speaking of which related issue, because Iran's been trying 274 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:05.600 to take him out for a long time, and even 275 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.120 after the Biden administration knew that it did not provide 276 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.919 Trump with anywhere near the security that it could have. 277 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:12.879 What does that tell you? 278 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.879 But Mark Helprin, who has done some really good reporting, 279 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.000 He's got this, I don't know you caught a podcast. 280 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.519 It's also video YouTube. 281 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.639 He's got a YouTube show every day called two Way, 282 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.720 and they do a pretty good job. Here's some reporting 283 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.159 he's doing that Biden may have planned a military strike 284 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.519 against Iran very recently. 285 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.759 So it was reported I believe by the Wall Street 286 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:41.840 Journal that President Biden was considering a military strike against Iran, 287 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.399 either against their nuclear assets or energy or some other 288 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.279 significant target. For years, it has been believed that a 289 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.399 threat a strike by Israel or the United States against 290 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.799 Iran was dangerous on two scores. One that if you 291 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.120 hit a nuclear facility, you risk nuclear material floating all 292 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.320 over the region to which way the wind was blowing, 293 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:07.879 and have disastrous consequences both medical, scientific, but also diplomatically. 294 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:09.000 And then also that. 295 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.279 Iran could strike back, and that Iran had the capacity 296 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.879 to create an escalated conflict. 297 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.960 Yeah, you know from the reporting I've seen, And this 298 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.799 depends on lip readers, right, so about it? Pigasteric on 299 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.960 it that's part of what President Trump and Obama we're 300 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.840 talking about at the funeral. At the Carder funeral was 301 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.399 words to the effect of as part of the conversation. 302 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.799 Another part of it was obviously light was got to 303 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.919 talk to you, got to talk to you soon and 304 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:42.120 something really urgent and important. So maybe it pertained to this, 305 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:45.600 but still great for America to see that. And now 306 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.440 that Michelle Obama's announced that she is not going to 307 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.679 go to the inauguration, as you raised yesterday, Ryan, hopefully 308 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:55.679 we'll see more of the happy chummy scenes with Obama 309 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.960 and Trump, who it appears it actually like each other. 310 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.600 And anticipate too. With Michelle out of the picture, bros 311 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:03.279 will be bros. 312 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.720 And I think Brock and Donald will be hanging out 313 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:07.879 and having some fun. 314 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.360 I think they had fun and that. 315 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.919 Exchange, and like you said, Dan, that's such a great point. 316 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.320 It was a great visual for the world, not just America, 317 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.159 but for the world that those two former presidents soon 318 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:23.600 to be next President Trump, we're getting along and appearing 319 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.440 to have a good time. 320 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.320 Yeah, and let's see some more of it at the inauguration. Texter, Dan, 321 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:30.879 thank you for fighting for our safety in Denver. I 322 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.279 can foresee an alert named after the flight attendant or 323 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.720 man murdered. If multiple attacks are violent incidents that are 324 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.080 suspected to or have happened, get sent an alert via 325 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:42.039 text message to. 326 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.600 Citizens in the States. Sadly, it might happen more than 327 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.120 we think. 328 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.000 And what I'm referring to is I've now served the 329 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.440 court on the city, and we'll go to court if 330 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:50.960 we have to. 331 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:52.000 We're entitled to know. 332 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.639 You're entitled to know when the mayor knew that you 333 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.159 had a serial killer targeting the mall, and who made 334 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.240 the decision not to warn the public, because that was 335 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.079 the only way. Any safety expert knows the only way 336 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.000 to protect the public in that situation is to warn them. 337 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.759 Because you can have police officers every three feet on 338 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.039 the mall, and the best officers in the world, and 339 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.440 we have many of them here, will not be able 340 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.240 to protect people against a serial killer who is determined 341 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.240 to kill. So we're going to get to the bottom 342 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:22.759 of this because you have a right to know, and 343 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.119 whoever made that decision should not be in any official 344 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.839 capacity anywhere. Eight UR zero five two five five text 345 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.519 DN five seven seven three nine. Do we have Tom 346 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.920 Ryan to squeeze in one of these great bites. I mean, 347 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:41.200 we've got to here. It is Liz Warren getting obliterated 348 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.599 by Pete Hegseth. 349 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:48.160 And other words, you're quite sure that every general who 350 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.079 serves should not go directly into the defense industry for 351 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.880 ten years. Are you not willing to make that same pledge? 352 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:02.079 I'm not a general. Senator just delivered perfectly right. 353 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.799 And there's so much advantage to having these people in 354 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.240 high positions who have these great communication skills. I mean, 355 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.480 it doesn't guarantee success, but think of all the great 356 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.000 leaders over time, in every different capacity of your own life, business, etc. 357 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.680 What percentage of them have great communication skills like ke 358 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.559 E Seth as from all of his media stuff, a 359 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.799 very large percentage. Hey, speaking of which, when we come back, 360 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.200 somebody I'd praised off and on air talked about as 361 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:34.160 a generational talent, he'll join us in studio, we'll talk. 362 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.960 About what he's doing next. What could that be? I know, 363 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:37.920 I like it a lot. 364 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:47.839 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 365 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.079 Criteria state if we stay on the road we're on 366 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:55.039 right now, in less than ten years, virtually everything that 367 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.160 matters to us in life will depend on whether China 368 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:58.279 will allow us to have it or not. 369 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.240 Everything from the blood. 370 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.759 Rush for medicine we take, to what movies we get 371 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.920 to watch, and everything in between, we will depend on China. 372 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.319 Ford they have come to dominate the critical mental industry. 373 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.359 Supplies throughout the world. 374 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:12.319 Everywhere in the world. 375 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.240 They've now established critical mineral rights. Even those who want 376 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.400 to see more electric cars, no matter where you make them, 377 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.400 those batteries are almost entirely dependent on the ability of 378 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.519 the Chinese and the willingness of the Chinese Communist Party 379 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:25.880 to produce it and export it to you. So if 380 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:27.880 we don't change course, we are going to live in 381 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:29.920 a world where much of what matters to us on 382 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.200 a daily basis, from our security to our health, will 383 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.759 be dependent on whether the Chinese allow us to have 384 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:37.839 it or not. That's an unacceptable welcome. 385 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.680 Thank God, Mark or Rubio soon to be Secretary of State. 386 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:44.599 Hey John Kellner in studio, and so I've said about 387 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:49.599 John before, generational talent, one of the elite trial lawyers 388 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.880 in Colorado for quite a while now, but talented in 389 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.160 so many different ways. Former Marine Corps veteran and still 390 00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:58.559 active duty Reserve right. 391 00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.920 John, Yeah, still working in the reserves. 392 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.960 And John, as you probably know, has just finished his tenure. 393 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.279 He was the elected DA in Arapo and Douglas and 394 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.880 Lincoln and Albert, and so two reasons I wanted to 395 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.400 have John in today. Let's start with the first, which 396 00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:15.160 is the victory lap of my friends. 397 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.039 So lay it on ut. I mean it went great. 398 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.559 It give people the numbers because I think people need 399 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.920 to appreciate what success looks like so we can duplicate 400 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.920 that other places. 401 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.240
