Speaker 1: This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Kaplas 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. Yeah, another beautiful
Speaker 1: day to fight. Glad you're here, Glad I'm here. Wow,
Speaker 1: it seems like I've been away one hundred years. But
Speaker 1: obviously a great thing for you, right, because the fill
Speaker 1: ins are so awesome, And I take great pride in that, Ryan,
Speaker 1: because so many people on air. I won't mention anybody,
Speaker 1: but so many people on air that they never want
Speaker 1: to have a good fill in, right, so you're afraid
Speaker 1: their key card won't work the next time. And for
Speaker 1: decades on air, I have prided myself I'm getting great
Speaker 1: fill ins because I feel this obligation of the people
Speaker 1: kind enough to listen, right, And so yeah, Sheriff EAMs
Speaker 1: last week, George Brockler kind of enough to drop it in.
Speaker 1: Then I saw George at the courthouse because as everybody knows,
Speaker 1: he's DA and Douglas and that's where I was trying
Speaker 1: that case last week. And then Heidi Ganall all with
Speaker 1: the very able assistance of Ryan and Kelly. So thank
Speaker 1: you to that all star cast for u oh.
Speaker 2: Christy was in his this week thank you for a
Speaker 2: minded me. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I mean a trial blur right now, because here this week,
Speaker 1: and then I try another case next week, and then
Speaker 1: I try another case the week after that, So it's
Speaker 1: a it's a bit of a trial blur.
Speaker 2: At the moment.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say a trial fog because anybody who's been
Speaker 1: a trial knows that it kind of crystallizes everything, which
Speaker 1: is one of the beautiful things about trial and one
Speaker 1: of the things I love about trial.
Speaker 2: So thank you to all of you. And there'll be another.
Speaker 1: Dose of the Superstars next week, and then I think
Speaker 1: next week's trial will go three days. I'll be back
Speaker 1: a couple of days at the end of next week.
Speaker 1: Then the trial of the week after that is going.
Speaker 2: To go at least a full week.
Speaker 1: So I will miss you very much, but I'm glad
Speaker 1: I'm here right now. Three or three someone three A
Speaker 1: two five five text d A N five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine And Ryan, I was in a meeting leading
Speaker 1: up to the show, getting ready for next week's trial.
Speaker 1: But I saw your text rolling in because I got
Speaker 1: set up for the show and there was all these
Speaker 1: people were texting you about Governor Polis comparing Christians to
Speaker 1: trans and.
Speaker 2: You gotta fill me in on that.
Speaker 1: I know I have some sounding in a fire in
Speaker 1: a second, you got to fill me in on that.
Speaker 1: But one quick note about the story at the top.
Speaker 1: You heard where Southwest now no more free bags. And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm probably the only person who kind of
Speaker 1: smiled about that because I worked as a baggage handler
Speaker 1: for years, and so you spend enough time in the
Speaker 1: belly of those planes and you're going to love anything
Speaker 1: that means less bags. I'm just telling you because and
Speaker 1: I've never been claustrophobic, but I think Houdini would get
Speaker 1: claustrophobic spending enough time in the in the stomach of
Speaker 1: one of those planes, just hauling bags, pulling out bags,
Speaker 1: everything else.
Speaker 2: But makes me appreciate this job.
Speaker 3: Well, Southwest, that was one of their competitive advantages over
Speaker 3: the other airline. They might not be viewed as you know,
Speaker 3: kind of on the level of You or Delta or
Speaker 3: even American, but the bags fly free. I mean that
Speaker 3: was part of their ad campaigns. Yeah, the random assignment
Speaker 3: of seats is kind of a cattle call.
Speaker 2: But and that's changing, right, yeah, I thought that was changed.
Speaker 2: I think that's another thing, right, uh huh Yeah. A
Speaker 2: lot of the routes I end up doing, it's United
Speaker 2: type stuff.
Speaker 1: So I haven't been on Southwest recently, but I thought
Speaker 1: you could now just kind of reserve a seat because
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, the cattle call.
Speaker 2: Thing to me was always a bummer.
Speaker 1: Yes you know what I mean, because you don't, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you feel bad.
Speaker 2: You know. It's plus you run out of wheelchairs.
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times with Southwest because you get
Speaker 1: to board first in a wheelchair?
Speaker 2: How many times did you go to the coffee.
Speaker 1: Shop and somebody jumps out of the wheelchair, gets their coffee,
Speaker 1: jumps back in, and then rolls on first on a Southwest.
Speaker 4: I have not seting that.
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah, and uh I'm a little surprised.
Speaker 1: I never stooped to it, But I never I never
Speaker 1: with you think how serious it is for somebody to
Speaker 1: really be in a wheelchair, and I worked with so
Speaker 1: many of those folks.
Speaker 2: I would never stoop.
Speaker 1: To using a wheelchair to get on first on Southwest.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, but that won't be the problem anymore.
Speaker 2: But again, bags don't fly free.
Speaker 3: So Southwest to me, they've got up their game, Dan, because,
Speaker 3: like you said, if people are gonna fly, you know,
Speaker 3: Kelly's always hanging out in the United Lounge and people
Speaker 3: usually view that as the Cadillac of airlines, especially here
Speaker 3: in Denver. But you know, what is Southwest gonna do?
Speaker 3: Is it going to be a price point? How do
Speaker 3: they compete now against those bigger airlines?
Speaker 1: Well, I think they compete with routes, right, because they've
Speaker 1: got a lot of good routes, a lot of good stops.
Speaker 1: I've always found the people on Southwest really nice. I agree,
Speaker 1: pricing seems good. I think they're usually sold out, aren't they,
Speaker 1: Which maybe one reason why they're getting rid of this
Speaker 1: bags fly free, right, Maybe they don't have.
Speaker 2: To do that to fill their place. Well there you go. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so let's go into the airline business. No, let's not.
Speaker 2: Do you do you own any airline stock?
Speaker 4: Not yet, but I'm looking into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, And anything I tell you with stocks do
Speaker 1: the opposite. I just yeah, those things are are often
Speaker 1: a bumpy ride.
Speaker 2: Glad you're here.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: D eight N five seven seven three nine. So lots
Speaker 1: of ground to cover, and I want to talk about
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that was popping last week, because
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's the same with your job when you immerse,
Speaker 1: and when I immerse in a trial, it's like nothing
Speaker 1: is going on outside that bubble. So I'm still kind
Speaker 1: of finding out some things that happened.
Speaker 2: But Ryan, could you fire that cut three?
Speaker 1: CERA can see what you were talking about with Governor
Speaker 1: Poliss quick context.
Speaker 3: This was a conversation that took place I think a
Speaker 3: week ago today Governor Paulos appearing with Ross Kaminski over
Speaker 3: on our sister station KOA, and was only by virtue
Speaker 3: of a lot of texts that Ross got from listeners
Speaker 3: and from yours, truly, because Polis was in studio with
Speaker 3: Ross's last Monday running for I don't know, but he
Speaker 3: was not asked about thirteen twelve, which he had signed
Speaker 3: into law, as you remember, Dan at five pm on
Speaker 3: a Friday in a news dump and I'm like, Ross, dude,
Speaker 3: you got to ask him about this, and he had,
Speaker 3: to his credit, Ross's credit, he had pull us on
Speaker 3: the next day by phone, and this was a portion
Speaker 3: of that commentary whether or not this infringed upon the
Speaker 3: First Amendment rights of Coloradden's this thirteen twelve.
Speaker 2: You don't think it's an infringement on the First Amendment?
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5: Well, look, obviously you have to if you have an employer,
Speaker 5: there's things you can say you can't say at work, right,
Speaker 5: I mean, this is not like you know, with your
Speaker 5: friends in your house at all, right, right, I mean
Speaker 5: that's not against a lot. When you go to work.
Speaker 5: You cannot call your African American colleague the N word.
Speaker 5: I mean that that is, you know, the rights violation.
Speaker 2: So we're making this out.
Speaker 5: This is a great diverse state. You may have to
Speaker 5: work with somebody who's transgend or something. You may have
Speaker 5: to work with somebody who who's African Americans like you
Speaker 5: just have to respect to whoever you work with. You
Speaker 5: you know, and you you all tried to get along,
Speaker 5: and that is in the professional side of things. How
Speaker 5: we all get together as a state. And I would
Speaker 5: add this goes always if you have a debut Christian
Speaker 5: who you work with, you have to respect that you
Speaker 5: never mocked their Christianity, you never mocked their faith. At
Speaker 5: work again, in your own home. You know, if you're
Speaker 5: with friends and you can argue about Christianity or transgender
Speaker 5: and you can get mean, ambitious, and there's no vighlation
Speaker 5: of law, totally free speech. But when you're at work,
Speaker 5: absolutely there are expectations of what you do at work
Speaker 5: and treat everybody civilly. This bill doesn't too much about that,
Speaker 5: but that was already the law in Colorado.
Speaker 2: Is he the.
Speaker 1: Single most dishonest elected official in the history of the state? Man,
Speaker 1: It's or at least six whoppers in there, And it
Speaker 1: does give comes back to this fair question. In a
Speaker 1: state with legalized marijuana, is it fair to ask elected
Speaker 1: officials whether they smoke dope? Because there was so much
Speaker 1: craziness in there. Ryan, that's a whole show right there.
Speaker 2: It could be.
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, and I want to hear
Speaker 1: from people on this three h three someone three eight
Speaker 1: two five five text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: First of all, for all of our African American brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters, I will join your march on the capitol
Speaker 1: for this governor, for this governor to compare trans status
Speaker 1: to being African American and the history of oppression of
Speaker 1: African Americans in this nation, going all the way back
Speaker 1: to chains, and this governor is comparing the plight of
Speaker 1: African Americans to trans people. Worse, he's comparing the plight
Speaker 1: of trans people to African Americans.
Speaker 2: It is amazing that the modern.
Speaker 1: Democratic Party gets a single vote from a single person
Speaker 1: of color anywhere. So start with that, okay, and then
Speaker 1: let's get to his first amendment garbage.
Speaker 2: Wait, a second first amendment.
Speaker 1: And he pretends that thirteen twelve means that you can't
Speaker 1: call a trans person at work ugly names? Where does
Speaker 1: he live? That just doesn't happen. That that's not routine
Speaker 1: in American He knows it. It's certainly not routine in Colorado.
Speaker 1: What you're talking about here is stripping away First Amendment
Speaker 1: rights because now you got to lie. Now you got
Speaker 1: a lie, Jared Polis and the Democrats are telling you
Speaker 1: you have to lie, and you have to say that
Speaker 1: somebody who is a female is a man. That hey,
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong about thirteen twelve, somebody educate me. Okay,
Speaker 1: But that's my understanding. It as many different parts, but
Speaker 1: one of it is if you've got a man and
Speaker 1: that man identifies as a woman.
Speaker 2: You can't refer to that person as a man.
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about, stripping away First Amendment rights.
Speaker 2: That's not some kind of hate speech.
Speaker 1: And Ryan, what a window we got right into this
Speaker 1: insidious elitism of the left, which is why they're now
Speaker 1: trending down almost everywhere other than Colorado, and maybe Colorado soon.
Speaker 1: But remember that part in there about Polis talking about
Speaker 1: you may have to work with the black person someday.
Speaker 1: You've son of a you know what, you son of
Speaker 1: a you know what? I will bet you that n
Speaker 1: twenty nine percent of the Republican voters out there, the
Speaker 1: conservative voters out there, have walked to talk more than
Speaker 1: you have, Richie Rich when it comes to showing respect
Speaker 1: to people of color. And you sit up there in
Speaker 1: your little money laid in bubble and ivory tower and
Speaker 1: pretend that people who disagree with you politically wouldn't want to.
Speaker 2: Work with a black person. What a blank right? I mean?
Speaker 2: It is? This guy is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And if he was just a normal guy without a
Speaker 1: bunch of money, you think he ever would have held
Speaker 1: a single office in Colorado. He wouldn't have been able
Speaker 1: to get a job as an intern with an elected official. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Next segment, I'll tell you what I really think. Three
Speaker 1: or three someone three eight two five five texts DA
Speaker 1: in A five seven seven three nine. Did I miss
Speaker 1: something there that talking about Christians?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Right? Didn't he compare trans status to Christianity? Well, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of any way to disrespect Christians that
Speaker 1: he has not engaged in. You know, I can't think
Speaker 1: of one right now, have you? But but this is
Speaker 1: certainly the latest and the freshest. This was the same
Speaker 1: guy I remember who the day after he got elected
Speaker 1: governor the first time, came out and said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got to keep your faith outside the public square,
Speaker 1: something he forgot to mention during the campaign. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: on the Dankplas Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Can you do it? Wow?
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: d An five seven seven three nine. We started the
Speaker 1: show with this mind blowing sound from Jared Poulos on
Speaker 1: with our friend Ross Komensky and talking about thirteen twelve right,
Speaker 1: which is so wrong in so many different ways, including
Speaker 1: on constitutionality. But but the left has never cared about
Speaker 1: that right because what they know is the process is
Speaker 1: the punishment. Fine, we're going to strip you of your
Speaker 1: constitutional rights. Hey, good luck finding somebody to go litigate
Speaker 1: your case all the way to the US Supreme Court, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, happens over and over again out of Colorado,
Speaker 1: and Colorado keeps losing over and over again in the
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court. But you think these lefties care no
Speaker 1: because along the way, think of all the people they silence,
Speaker 1: all the people they censor because folks don't want to
Speaker 1: go through that whole legal process, even though they're going
Speaker 1: to win in the end. So that's part of the
Speaker 1: insidiousness of the left. So some fresh tape on Polis
Speaker 1: and thirteen twelve, and I counted at least six different
Speaker 1: blatant falsehoods in there, and seven or eight just incredibly arrogant,
Speaker 1: demeaning insults of major groups, starting with African Americans, extending
Speaker 1: to Christians. Obviously a lot of African Americans.
Speaker 2: Christians as well.
Speaker 1: So they get a double dose of insult from Polis.
Speaker 2: But what does he care? Right?
Speaker 1: First leaving office. Second figures on a state level, he
Speaker 1: can buy any office he wants with his money. So
Speaker 1: three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: d An five seven seven three nine. It can have
Speaker 1: a special guest from Focus on the Family. Glenn Stanton,
Speaker 1: director of Global Family Formation, will be with us at
Speaker 1: four thirty six because Focus has now been added to
Speaker 1: the list of hate slash extremist groups from the Southern
Speaker 1: Poverty Law Center, and so Focus will be here to
Speaker 1: react to that, and in some ways, I think to
Speaker 1: revel in it because.
Speaker 2: There have been there are a lot of groups that are.
Speaker 1: Named extremist or hate by Southern Poverty Law Center that
Speaker 1: I've never heard of and I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: and I can't comment on. But there are some other
Speaker 1: groups such as Alliance Defending Freedom, which are some of
Speaker 1: the most important, positive, greatest institutions in our country, who
Speaker 1: get labeled as extremists because those on the left obviously
Speaker 1: I was on the left one who impose their will,
Speaker 1: and groups like Alliance Defending Freedom, you know, stand up
Speaker 1: and stop.
Speaker 2: The crazy left from getting their way.
Speaker 1: So that guest at four point thirty six a text
Speaker 1: Ryan says, I have absolutely nothing good to say about
Speaker 1: Jared Poulos. I believe that he would not tell the
Speaker 1: truth if his life depended on it no code Dan.
Speaker 1: You know, it's so interesting to me, Ryan because while
Speaker 1: we always disagreed on the big stuff, Polks and I
Speaker 1: had a great relationship, became on our air off and
Speaker 1: we had these great back and forth, spirited conversations, always friendly,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it turned, and it
Speaker 1: turned during COVID and he would never come on. And
Speaker 1: I think the reason is obvious, right, because he could
Speaker 1: not answer the tough questions, and he knew I'd ask
Speaker 1: the tough questions more importantly, I'd ask the tough follow
Speaker 1: up questions, and so anyway, he yeah, he just stopped
Speaker 1: coming on during COVID. And again, if I was him,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have come on to COVID because there's no
Speaker 1: way in the world he could have began to justify
Speaker 1: certain things he was doing, and I was talking on
Speaker 1: air about all sorts of stuff most of the media
Speaker 1: wasn't reporting. That made a clear Polis was failing miserably
Speaker 1: with COVID in a lot of different ways. So who
Speaker 1: does he go on with anymore? Obviously with Ross, but
Speaker 1: not that often.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, that's it, and the reasoning we've gotten from
Speaker 3: the Polish team of communications is, Hey, we go on
Speaker 3: with Ross and that's enough.
Speaker 2: So he doesn't go on many Connell.
Speaker 3: I don't know that he goes on Colorado's Morning news,
Speaker 3: even which is all the more puzzling since Marty and
Speaker 3: gin are are friendlies.
Speaker 2: I would say to Polis in largers, you.
Speaker 1: Say to Polis, there's no such thing as a friendly
Speaker 1: if somebody's going to ask a fair question and more importantly,
Speaker 1: the follow up question.
Speaker 2: So if you get any kind.
Speaker 1: Of reporter or host who has kind of that, you know,
Speaker 1: self respect, and they're not just going to be obviously avoided,
Speaker 1: then he's not going to go on there because he,
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't want to have to to try
Speaker 1: to defend the indefensible. Hey, a lot of stuff happening
Speaker 1: out there, right Mike Johnston, Why don't we go with
Speaker 1: cut thirteen here? Mayor Mike Johnston of Denver. It just
Speaker 1: keeps getting worse for him.
Speaker 5: I think, Oh, he dropped the mall because it is
Speaker 5: so much more than just one retail location or one block.
Speaker 5: It is an entire mall of experience, a mile of experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they dropped the mall.
Speaker 1: Good move, by the way, but I think it would
Speaker 1: have been better just to get rid of the drugies,
Speaker 1: just to say, Okay, this whole thing legalization of marijuana,
Speaker 1: trying to attract every you know, pothead in the world
Speaker 1: to downtown Denver, maybe not such.
Speaker 2: A good idea, and that would have been a lot better.
Speaker 2: But obviously misspoke.
Speaker 1: I think his point is what it's it's so much
Speaker 1: different than just sixteenth here.
Speaker 2: What are they calling that thing?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: That's it sixteenth Street, oh, sixteenth Streets. So they're taking
Speaker 2: out the mall part of it.
Speaker 3: I get that paid one hundred grand for that consultation
Speaker 3: from a London firm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because because malls have kind of lost their luster, right,
Speaker 1: So no, hey, I can't fault them on that part.
Speaker 2: What I can't fault him on, though.
Speaker 1: Is is not doing the things that he needs to
Speaker 1: do to make that place work. And everybody knows what
Speaker 1: that is, right, everybody knows what that is. I mean,
Speaker 1: you are not going to be able to get people
Speaker 1: to go down there until you clean it up. And
Speaker 1: to clean it up, you got to get rid of
Speaker 1: the drugies. And the Left is never going to be
Speaker 1: willing to get rid of the druggies. And I don't
Speaker 1: say that with any kind of disdain that could be
Speaker 1: any of us.
Speaker 2: Man, these chemicals are so powerful.
Speaker 1: I've known some people with the strongest possible will and
Speaker 1: they just can't overcome the chemicals. And the Left is
Speaker 1: just flooding our society with these drugs, right, And part
Speaker 1: of it is they want more people dependent on government.
Speaker 1: So a drug society is going to be more dependent
Speaker 1: on and they want to start with the kids, and
Speaker 1: so this legalization.
Speaker 2: Of marijuana's big part of that.
Speaker 1: So I'm not in any way being disrespectful to these
Speaker 1: people who end up in this very sad state. But
Speaker 1: until the Left reverses its policy on legalized drugs and
Speaker 1: then on how it treats addicts, you can do.
Speaker 2: Whatever you want.
Speaker 1: You can pave those streets and gold. You can pave
Speaker 1: those streets and gold. You can put Denver Bronco cheerleaders
Speaker 1: on every street corner. You're not going to be able
Speaker 1: to get people.
Speaker 2: To go down. There is there a flaw in that logic?
Speaker 1: Hey, I guess from Focus on the Family after the
Speaker 1: break now being named a paid group by the Southern
Speaker 1: Poverty Law Center, So we'll get their reaction to that
Speaker 1: that much more. Had three or three someone three A
Speaker 1: two five five the number. You're on the Dan Kapito Show.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Wait, I'll tell you the attacks on Christianity come in
Speaker 1: so many different forms and the insults at so many
Speaker 1: different levels. We played some tape earlier of the latest
Speaker 1: from Jared Poulis toward Christians, but focus on the family
Speaker 1: out of Colorado Springs now experiencing a different form of attack,
Speaker 1: this from the Southern Poverty Law Center. And here to
Speaker 1: talk with us about that is Glenn Stanton. Glenn, welcome
Speaker 1: to the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: Well appreciate you being on. I'm just reading this piece here.
Speaker 1: Southern Poverty Law Center finally names focus on the family
Speaker 1: a hate group, and this piece was written by you,
Speaker 1: so if you could just take that one and run.
Speaker 6: Well, we had a little bit of fun with and
Speaker 6: we said, finally, like what took them so long? Because basically, okay,
Speaker 6: the Southern Poverty Law Center is this lefty group and
Speaker 6: they basically, I mean, anybody that doesn't agree with the
Speaker 6: super lefty view on human sexuality and what it means
Speaker 6: to be male and female and things like that. They
Speaker 6: say that they are horrible, hateful people, and we have
Speaker 6: been painted with that brush, but not just us, like
Speaker 6: Alliance Defending Freedom, the Family Research Counsel in Washington, d C.
Speaker 6: For crying out out Moms for Liberty. You know what,
Speaker 6: these moms that get involved in public schools because they're
Speaker 6: not happy with what their kids are being taught. You know,
Speaker 6: those people are called hate groups. And so these people
Speaker 6: just anybody they disagree with, they call them the H word,
Speaker 6: and that's like, that's not very nice, and.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you had some fun with it.
Speaker 1: You know who I'm really critical of, say our friends
Speaker 1: at the Denver Post and other media outlets who actually
Speaker 1: give this any credibility, right because just the kind of
Speaker 1: an average reader. Oh no, they've been does needed a
Speaker 1: hate group and a lot of people don't know what
Speaker 1: these initials mean. Alliance Defending Freedom, Alliance Defending Freedom is
Speaker 1: one of the greatest groups of people in America doing
Speaker 1: some of the most good for all Americans. But yes,
Speaker 1: I don't think any credible media outlets should report it
Speaker 1: as news when they name, you know, somebody like Focus
Speaker 1: on the Family, a hate group.
Speaker 6: Well, and we face it all the time. I face
Speaker 6: it all the time because I go out there in
Speaker 6: the public square, you know, and a number of other
Speaker 6: other leaders that Folks on the Family do. And when
Speaker 6: we're introduced, you know, we'll be this is Glenn Stanton
Speaker 6: from Focus on the Family, a certified hate group. And
Speaker 6: you know that's based on what the Southern Poverty Law
Speaker 6: Center says, and it has like real credibility, and it's
Speaker 6: just it's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. But you know what,
Speaker 6: the media, like just being absolutely uncritical, accepts this stuff
Speaker 6: and you know, receives it as fact. And you know,
Speaker 6: the hate group designation is based in nothing more in
Speaker 6: that like, hey, I believe that marriage is a relationship
Speaker 6: between a husband and a wife raising their own biological
Speaker 6: or adopted children. I mean, even just that statement right
Speaker 6: there can get you situated as a hate group.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So and this ties into thirteen twelve we were talking
Speaker 1: about earlier. So we've reached the point now in Colorado
Speaker 1: with the left in charge where if you tell the truth,
Speaker 1: you're a hater.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well no, and that's exactly right, and you're right. I mean,
Speaker 6: you know that this bill thirteen twelve that was just
Speaker 6: recently passed I mean it has come to the place
Speaker 6: where the old liberal idea used to be. You believe
Speaker 6: what you believe, I believe what I believe. You get
Speaker 6: to be you, I get to be me. But basically,
Speaker 6: I mean, here's the irony. Like we as Christians get
Speaker 6: called fundamentalists. These people are the ultimate fundamentalist because they
Speaker 6: do not allow you to disagree with them. You have
Speaker 6: to take their view of sexuality, of what it means
Speaker 6: to be male and female, of what the definition of
Speaker 6: marriage and the family is. And if you say kids
Speaker 6: should have a mother and a father and we believe
Speaker 6: that firmly, I mean, like that is transphobic or you know,
Speaker 6: anti gay hate speech, and like that's how brittle this
Speaker 6: thing is. And it just comes to the place of
Speaker 6: being absolutely ridiculous. And again the media just fails to
Speaker 6: ask any critical questions here and they just give the
Speaker 6: Southern Property Law Center and groups like this a complete pass.
Speaker 1: Glad said our guests. You know when the UBU and
Speaker 1: I'll be me ended for the left, Glenn, it's when
Speaker 1: they started losing the argument, and then they realized they
Speaker 1: just had to censor right because if people were allowed
Speaker 1: to engage in the Great debate they lost. Just like
Speaker 1: we saw on November eleven, right, TRUP ran what maybe
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty million bucks of those ads, you know,
Speaker 1: pointing out, Hey, Kamala Harris, she's they them, Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: hei's you, And guess which way America went well?
Speaker 6: And it's very very clear, and you know it's okay,
Speaker 6: get this, get this. I'm from Folks on the Family.
Speaker 6: I have worked at Folks on the Family since nineteen
Speaker 6: ninety three. When I went up to the Capitol with
Speaker 6: a few of my colleagues and testified against HB thirteen twelve.
Speaker 6: Do you know who was right at my left elbow
Speaker 6: testifying against that bill as well? It was a guy
Speaker 6: from an organization called Gays Against Groomers. I mean, that
Speaker 6: is how insane the left has gotten. That I am
Speaker 6: like partnered up with a guy from Gays against Groomers.
Speaker 6: She says, no, this trans bill is insane. Well, that's
Speaker 6: how crazy everything has gotten. In fact, he was even
Speaker 6: a little bit more fiery in his testimony against that
Speaker 6: bill than I was, even like, I mean, it's just
Speaker 6: we have gone into crazy bill here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're criminalizing the truth. And when they can't criminalize
Speaker 1: the truth. Then they just try to destroy people by
Speaker 1: labeling them as haters to try to intimidate them out
Speaker 1: of speaking the truth, which I know will never happen. You. Plus,
Speaker 1: you've got the trump card, right, I think in the
Speaker 1: law it's called the beatitudes. I mean, isn't there one
Speaker 1: that says something about, hey, hey, blessed are you when
Speaker 1: people insult you and persecute you because of me, your
Speaker 1: reward will be great in heaven. Yeah, i'd consider that
Speaker 1: a bit of a trump card in the Southern Poverty
Speaker 1: Law Center.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little bit of a consolation. I mean,
Speaker 6: like you know, Christ said that very very clearly, and
Speaker 6: we are facing that and we just have to remember
Speaker 6: that that we know what the truth is, we know
Speaker 6: what objective reality is, and we just have to keep
Speaker 6: saying it. And just like in grade school, you know what,
Speaker 6: when people call you names, when people call you ugly
Speaker 6: names like hateful, you know what, you just smile and
Speaker 6: say thank you so much. We're going to go back
Speaker 6: to what we have always been doing, and that is
Speaker 6: speaking the truth about what it means to be human
Speaker 6: as male and female, and what the natural family is
Speaker 6: all across the world, and what nature and Nature's God
Speaker 6: has orchestrated and given to us as a gift.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not supposed to be easy, right, so
Speaker 1: we should be grateful for knuckleheads like Southern Poverty Law Center.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: But no, in the end, we all know the truth
Speaker 1: will prevail no matter how hard they try to silence it.
Speaker 1: But thank you, man, appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 6: You bet thanks for having us. We appreciate it, and bless.
Speaker 2: You take care. Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: My friend that is Glenn Stanton from Focus on the Family.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five the number
Speaker 1: text d A N five seven seven three nine when
Speaker 1: we come back just for yocks and you may not
Speaker 1: have been here. Then we got to play the sound
Speaker 1: we opened the show with. This is Governor polus On
Speaker 1: with Ross Kamenski, our friend over an eight to fifty.
Speaker 2: K away and Paulus. How long did that go? Ryan?
Speaker 2: Maybe a minute and a half.
Speaker 1: I counted six like whoppers, six like whopper lies. And
Speaker 1: he insulted four or five major groups and guess which
Speaker 1: ones they were, but.
Speaker 2: Leading with African Americans. So you got to hear that.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Glad you are here, Glad I am here after a
Speaker 1: week in trial. And as much as I love this Ryan,
Speaker 1: I so love being in trial. And I'll be trial
Speaker 1: again next week and trial the week after that. So
Speaker 1: audience very happy having a lot more of our great
Speaker 1: superstars like Sheriff, Riems, George, Heidi, KBB. Of course Ryan
Speaker 1: and Kelly always part of that. So let's take a
Speaker 1: back in. My friend, I did want to play for
Speaker 1: folks this Jared Polis sound with Russkominski over an eight
Speaker 1: fifty ka. If you're new to the area, there used
Speaker 1: to be this great tradition that this great tradition of
Speaker 1: the governor, senators, etc. Going on eight to fifty koa
Speaker 1: once a month etcter just to talk to the people
Speaker 1: as you would think that they would be required to.
Speaker 1: And then, you know, then all of a sudden that
Speaker 1: stopped happening, and on kapitalists and Silman we used to get.
Speaker 1: You know, we'd have the mayor all the time, whether
Speaker 1: it was hicken Looper, Hancock or whoever. We'd have some
Speaker 1: senators all of that, and then it just started to
Speaker 1: dry up. And what happened I talked to Mayor Hickenlooper
Speaker 1: one night at a charity deal and he just said,
Speaker 1: he said, hey, man, my staff told me that it's
Speaker 1: just not good for me. And that's what they decided
Speaker 1: is it wasn't good for them to have to tell
Speaker 1: the truth, to have to answer fair questions from the public.
Speaker 1: It was better for them to just kind of hide
Speaker 1: because often they didn't have good answers. Now, that's what
Speaker 1: I extrapolated from it, and I appreciated, you know, Hick
Speaker 1: just being honest with me about what he'd been.
Speaker 2: Told by his advisors. So this that stuff is largely
Speaker 2: dried up.
Speaker 1: But Polis did go on with Ross Kamensky and he
Speaker 1: generated this interesting bit of sound.
Speaker 2: Can we have cut three place? You don't think it's
Speaker 2: an infringement on the First Amendment? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5: Well, look, obviously you have to if you have an employer.
Speaker 5: There's things you can say and can't say at work, right,
Speaker 5: I mean, this is not like you know, with your
Speaker 5: friends in your house at all, Right, Right, I mean
Speaker 5: that's not against the law. When you go to work.
Speaker 5: You cannot call your African American colleague the N word.
Speaker 5: I mean that that is, you know, that is a
Speaker 5: civil rights violation. So of course this is a great diversity.
Speaker 5: You may have to work with somebody who's transgender something,
Speaker 5: you may have to work with somebody who who's African
Speaker 5: Americans like. You just have to respect whoever you work with.
Speaker 5: You you know, and you you all try to get along.
Speaker 5: And that is in the professional side of things, how
Speaker 5: we all get together as a state. And I would
Speaker 5: add this goes always. If you have about christian who
Speaker 5: you work with, you have to respect that you never
Speaker 5: mocked their Christianity, you never mocked their faith. At work
Speaker 5: again in your own home, you know, if you're with
Speaker 5: friends and you can argue about Christianity or transgender and
Speaker 5: you can get mean and vicious, and there's no viholation
Speaker 5: of law. Totally free speech. But when you're at work,
Speaker 5: absolutely there are expectations of what you do at work
Speaker 5: and treat everybody civilly. This bill doesn't too much about that,
Speaker 5: but that was already the law in Colorado.
Speaker 2: This guy is such a liar and such an arrogant elitist,
Speaker 2: and look at this grave insult toward African Americans.
Speaker 1: Right to compare the plight of transgender folks to African Americans.
Speaker 1: To compare the plight of African Americans to transgender folks, think.
Speaker 2: About the magnitude of that.
Speaker 1: Think about African Americans right literally in chains in this
Speaker 1: country and all of the oppression and obstacles that African
Speaker 1: Americans have faced over that centuries in this country. We've
Speaker 1: gotten so much better, right, but there are still challenges
Speaker 1: out there, And for police to compare transgender to African Americans,
Speaker 1: what a profound insult to African Americans. But it's another
Speaker 1: reason why, right, we see more and more people of color,
Speaker 1: including more and more African Americans, breaking away from the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party because they can see the Democratic Party, this
Speaker 1: modern far left, secular Democratic Party, does not respect them,
Speaker 1: It actively disrespects them, and it's going to compare their
Speaker 1: plight the challenges they face transgenders to that.
Speaker 2: Oh MG. So yeah, that's just part of this.
Speaker 1: But you look at the underlying lie, the underlying premise,
Speaker 1: that's a total lie that somehow thirteen twelve is about
Speaker 1: you can't insult your coworkers in the workplace. And think
Speaker 1: about maybe the single most revealing statement Polus has ever
Speaker 1: made about the true Jared Polis and the depth of
Speaker 1: his ignorance and arrogance when he talked about, oh, you
Speaker 1: may have to work with an African American someday.
Speaker 2: That's his true worldview. He really thinks the rest.
Speaker 1: Of us, those who disagree with him politically, those of
Speaker 1: us who are Republicans, that we just hate and despise
Speaker 1: and fear people of color.
Speaker 2: When the opposite is true, when the opposite is true.
Speaker 1: He's the guy who lives in the money bubble right,
Speaker 1: just completely removed from real life. And I've been both
Speaker 1: a Democrat and Republican. I've been active in both parties,
Speaker 1: so I know the drill. And the truth is, you
Speaker 1: can go into the Republican Party in ninety nine point
Speaker 1: nine percent of the people have total respect for people
Speaker 1: of different colors. In fact, it's a non issue. There
Speaker 1: is no kind of insult or this or that, or
Speaker 1: fear or anything. That's all in Polus's mind because he
Speaker 1: doesn't live in the real world. He lives in this
Speaker 1: arrogant leftist money bubble where he just assumes Republicans don't
Speaker 1: like people of color. That's why his party is leaking.
Speaker 1: It's leaking oil, it's losing people of color left and
Speaker 1: right because their priority now, is there any doubt? Right?
Speaker 1: The priority of the modern Democratic Party in Colorado and
Speaker 1: across the country is not the working man and women,
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: Not people of color.
Speaker 1: Their priority is trans people, and God love trans people.
Speaker 1: I'll bet you I have more true trans friends than
Speaker 1: Polist does, because I got one true friend, deep friend.
Speaker 1: I bet Polist doesn't have any. But that is their
Speaker 1: priority now as a party is biological men who want
Speaker 1: to say they're a woman, or biological women who want
Speaker 1: to say they're men. How long is that party going
Speaker 1: to survive? Well, I think we got a pretty good
Speaker 1: clue on November four. And then Christians, right, just police
Speaker 1: has always had this active disrespect for Christians, just as
Speaker 1: a matter of policy, just as a matter of way
Speaker 1: the government op rates.
Speaker 2: I mean, you just look at the systematic.
Speaker 1: Way that Colorado under Jared Polis has oppressed Christians. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at Jack Phillips for example. Not all of that
Speaker 1: was Polis' tenure, but a bunch of it was. And
Speaker 1: look at Polist coming out the day after election day
Speaker 1: and saying, oh, you know, you got to leave your
Speaker 1: faith outside the public square. Who do you think that's
Speaker 1: aimed at and here to compare the plight of trans
Speaker 1: people to the plight of Christians, to the oppression Christians.
Speaker 2: Have faced, etc.
Speaker 1: No, it's yeah, it is bizarre, but makes you wonder
Speaker 1: where he's headed next politically. But he just believes that
Speaker 1: his money can buy him anything politically. He knows it
Speaker 1: can't on a national level, right, But in Colorado, he
Speaker 1: figures he can say or do anything insult anybody wants to,
Speaker 1: and he has enough money to just steamroll himself into
Speaker 1: whatever next Colorado office he wants. Maybe he's right, or
Speaker 1: maybe eventually the people of the state are going to say,
Speaker 1: led by people of color and led by Christians of
Speaker 1: all color, colors are just going to say, no, We've
Speaker 1: had enough of this arrogant, elitist sob who never frigive
Speaker 1: me in the SOB thing.
Speaker 2: I don't mean that literally.
Speaker 1: In fact, I have great respect for his parents' accomplishments,
Speaker 1: and though I'd probably disagree with their politics, so I
Speaker 1: take that back.
Speaker 2: But I think the people of Colorado might just be
Speaker 2: at the point where.
Speaker 1: They say no, and it's going to be led by blacks,
Speaker 1: and it's going to be led by Christians, and it's
Speaker 1: going to say, no, We've had enough of this guy,
Speaker 1: this arrogant guy who looks.
Speaker 2: Down on us.
Speaker 1: And besides, what has he ever accomplished other than Michael
Speaker 1: Bennett who leads the pack in the race to the bottom.
Speaker 1: Has anybody ever done less with more than Jared Paulas.
Speaker 1: Let's start the next hour with that question. You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Kapla Show.
