Three or three someone three A 42 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.400 two five five text d A N five seven seven 43 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.480 three nine And Ryan, I was in a meeting leading 44 00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.719 up to the show, getting ready for next week's trial. 45 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.200 But I saw your text rolling in because I got 46 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.840 set up for the show and there was all these 47 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.719 people were texting you about Governor Polis comparing Christians to 48 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:10.400 trans and. 49 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:12.199 You gotta fill me in on that. 50 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:13.759 I know I have some sounding in a fire in 51 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.719 a second, you got to fill me in on that. 52 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.719 But one quick note about the story at the top. 53 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:23.280 You heard where Southwest now no more free bags. And 54 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.639 you know, I'm probably the only person who kind of 55 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.039 smiled about that because I worked as a baggage handler 56 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.080 for years, and so you spend enough time in the 57 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.240 belly of those planes and you're going to love anything 58 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.400 that means less bags. I'm just telling you because and 59 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.240 I've never been claustrophobic, but I think Houdini would get 60 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.240 claustrophobic spending enough time in the in the stomach of 61 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.159 one of those planes, just hauling bags, pulling out bags, 62 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:49.919 everything else. 63 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.400 But makes me appreciate this job. 64 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.120 Well, Southwest, that was one of their competitive advantages over 65 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.520 the other airline. They might not be viewed as you know, 66 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.199 kind of on the level of You or Delta or 67 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.479 even American, but the bags fly free. I mean that 68 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.800 was part of their ad campaigns. Yeah, the random assignment 69 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.159 of seats is kind of a cattle call. 70 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.439 But and that's changing, right, yeah, I thought that was changed. 71 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.759 I think that's another thing, right, uh huh Yeah. A 72 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.560 lot of the routes I end up doing, it's United 73 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:18.080 type stuff. 74 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.280 So I haven't been on Southwest recently, but I thought 75 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.240 you could now just kind of reserve a seat because 76 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.800 I got to tell you, the cattle call. 77 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.039 Thing to me was always a bummer. 78 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.680 Yes you know what I mean, because you don't, Yeah, 79 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:31.680 you feel bad. 80 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.560 You know. It's plus you run out of wheelchairs. 81 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.039 I mean, how many times with Southwest because you get 82 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.199 to board first in a wheelchair? 83 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.520 How many times did you go to the coffee. 84 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.520 Shop and somebody jumps out of the wheelchair, gets their coffee, 85 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.120 jumps back in, and then rolls on first on a Southwest. 86 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:48.879 I have not seting that. 87 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:57.919 Definitely, definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah, and uh I'm a little surprised. 88 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.000 I never stooped to it, But I never I never 89 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.599 with you think how serious it is for somebody to 90 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.280 really be in a wheelchair, and I worked with so 91 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:04.960 many of those folks. 92 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.199 I would never stoop. 93 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.319 To using a wheelchair to get on first on Southwest. 94 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:09.759 Yeah. 95 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.159 Well, but that won't be the problem anymore. 96 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:13.520 But again, bags don't fly free. 97 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.319 So Southwest to me, they've got up their game, Dan, because, 98 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.519 like you said, if people are gonna fly, you know, 99 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.120 Kelly's always hanging out in the United Lounge and people 100 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.600 usually view that as the Cadillac of airlines, especially here 101 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.279 in Denver. But you know, what is Southwest gonna do? 102 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.040 Is it going to be a price point? How do 103 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.920 they compete now against those bigger airlines? 104 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.160 Well, I think they compete with routes, right, because they've 105 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:36.839 got a lot of good routes, a lot of good stops. 106 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.160 I've always found the people on Southwest really nice. I agree, 107 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.879 pricing seems good. I think they're usually sold out, aren't they, 108 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.879 Which maybe one reason why they're getting rid of this 109 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.240 bags fly free, right, Maybe they don't have. 110 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.439 To do that to fill their place. Well there you go. Yeah, yeah, 111 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.759 so let's go into the airline business. No, let's not. 112 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.199 Do you do you own any airline stock? 113 00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.959 Not yet, but I'm looking into it. 114 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.319 Yeah, boy, And anything I tell you with stocks do 115 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.680 the opposite.

So I'm still kind 125 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.639 of finding out some things that happened. 126 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.680 But Ryan, could you fire that cut three? 127 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.959 CERA can see what you were talking about with Governor 128 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.560 Poliss quick context. 129 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.680 This was a conversation that took place I think a 130 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.519 week ago today Governor Paulos appearing with Ross Kaminski over 131 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.839 on our sister station KOA, and was only by virtue 132 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.240 of a lot of texts that Ross got from listeners 133 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.600 and from yours, truly, because Polis was in studio with 134 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.639 Ross's last Monday running for I don't know, but he 135 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.879 was not asked about thirteen twelve, which he had signed 136 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.199 into law, as you remember, Dan at five pm on 137 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.399 a Friday in a news dump and I'm like, Ross, dude, 138 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.279 you got to ask him about this, and he had, 139 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.480 to his credit, Ross's credit, he had pull us on 140 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.399 the next day by phone, and this was a portion 141 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.680 of that commentary whether or not this infringed upon the 142 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.319 First Amendment rights of Coloradden's this thirteen twelve. 143 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:21.879 You don't think it's an infringement on the First Amendment? 144 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:22.639 Is that what you're saying? 145 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.720 Well, look, obviously you have to if you have an employer, 146 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:27.959 there's things you can say you can't say at work, right, 147 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.959 I mean, this is not like you know, with your 148 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.519 friends in your house at all, right, right, I mean 149 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:34.279 that's not against a lot. When you go to work. 150 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.600 You cannot call your African American colleague the N word. 151 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.160 I mean that that is, you know, the rights violation. 152 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:41.600 So we're making this out. 153 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.519 This is a great diverse state. You may have to 154 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.319 work with somebody who's transgend or something. You may have 155 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.480 to work with somebody who who's African Americans like you 156 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.240 just have to respect to whoever you work with. You 157 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.040 you know, and you you all tried to get along, 158 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.600 and that is in the professional side of things. How 159 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.279 we all get together as a state. And I would 160 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.800 add this goes always if you have a debut Christian 161 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.079 who you work with, you have to respect that you 162 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.079 never mocked their Christianity, you never mocked their faith. At 163 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.839 work again, in your own home. You know, if you're 164 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.839 with friends and you can argue about Christianity or transgender 165 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.519 and you can get mean, ambitious, and there's no vighlation 166 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.319 of law, totally free speech. But when you're at work, 167 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.199 absolutely there are expectations of what you do at work 168 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.120 and treat everybody civilly. This bill doesn't too much about that, 169 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:23.759 but that was already the law in Colorado. 170 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.079 Is he the. 171 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.920 Single most dishonest elected official in the history of the state? Man, 172 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.279 It's or at least six whoppers in there, And it 173 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.560 does give comes back to this fair question. In a 174 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.720 state with legalized marijuana, is it fair to ask elected 175 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.360 officials whether they smoke dope? Because there was so much 176 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.680 craziness in there. Ryan, that's a whole show right there. 177 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:45.319 It could be. 178 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.680 I mean, first of all, and I want to hear 179 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.199 from people on this three h three someone three eight 180 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.120 two five five text d an five seven seven three nine. 181 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.600 First of all, for all of our African American brothers 182 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.959 and sisters, I will join your march on the capitol 183 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:06.759 for this governor, for this governor to compare trans status 184 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.160 to being African American and the history of oppression of 185 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.040 African Americans in this nation, going all the way back 186 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.959 to chains, and this governor is comparing the plight of 187 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.360 African Americans to trans people. Worse, he's comparing the plight 188 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.839 of trans people to African Americans. 189 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.680 It is amazing that the modern. 190 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.159 Democratic Party gets a single vote from a single person 191 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:39.120 of color anywhere. So start with that, okay, and then 192 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.480 let's get to his first amendment garbage. 193 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.639 Wait, a second first amendment. 194 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.399 And he pretends that thirteen twelve means that you can't 195 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.440 call a trans person at work ugly names? Where does 196 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.159 he live? That just doesn't happen. That that's not routine 197 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.679 in American He knows it. It's certainly not routine in Colorado. 198 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.000 What you're talking about here is stripping away First Amendment 199 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.879 rights because now you got to lie. Now you got 200 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.279 a lie, Jared Polis and the Democrats are telling you 201 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.240 you have to lie, and you have to say that 202 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.120 somebody who is a female is a man. That hey, 203 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.919 if I'm wrong about thirteen twelve, somebody educate me. Okay, 204 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.000 But that's my understanding. It as many different parts, but 205 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.960 one of it is if you've got a man and 206 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.600 that man identifies as a woman. 207 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.159 You can't refer to that person as a man. 208 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.120 That's what we're talking about, stripping away First Amendment rights. 209 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.360 That's not some kind of hate speech. 210 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.720 And Ryan, what a window we got right into this 211 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.600 insidious elitism of the left, which is why they're now 212 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.759 trending down almost everywhere other than Colorado, and maybe Colorado soon. 213 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.000 But remember that part in there about Polis talking about 214 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.279 you may have to work with the black person someday. 215 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.120 You've son of a you know what, you son of 216 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.759 a you know what? I will bet you that n 217 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.720 twenty nine percent of the Republican voters out there, the 218 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.120 conservative voters out there, have walked to talk more than 219 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.679 you have, Richie Rich when it comes to showing respect 220 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.559 to people of color. And you sit up there in 221 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:16.080 your little money laid in bubble and ivory tower and 222 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.639 pretend that people who disagree with you politically wouldn't want to. 223 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.879 Work with a black person. What a blank right? I mean? 224 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.639 It is? This guy is unbelievable. 225 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.960 And if he was just a normal guy without a 226 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.039 bunch of money, you think he ever would have held 227 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.440 a single office in Colorado. He wouldn't have been able 228 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:40.440 to get a job as an intern with an elected official. Unbelievable. 229 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.039 Next segment, I'll tell you what I really think. Three 230 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.279 or three someone three eight two five five texts DA 231 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.840 in A five seven seven three nine. Did I miss 232 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.679 something there that talking about Christians? 233 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.480 Right? 234 00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:02.080 Right? Didn't he compare trans status to Christianity? Well, I'm 235 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.879 trying to think of any way to disrespect Christians that 236 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:09.399 he has not engaged in. You know, I can't think 237 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.480 of one right now, have you? But but this is 238 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.639 certainly the latest and the freshest. This was the same 239 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.799 guy I remember who the day after he got elected 240 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.240 governor the first time, came out and said, oh, yeah, 241 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.399 I got to keep your faith outside the public square, 242 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:26.759 something he forgot to mention during the campaign. Yeah, you're 243 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:27.879 on the Dankplas Show. 244 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.360 And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast. 245 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.600 Can you do it? Wow? 246 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.000 Three or three someone three eight two five five text 247 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.559 d An five seven seven three nine. We started the 248 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:44.600 show with this mind blowing sound from Jared Poulos on 249 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:49.679 with our friend Ross Komensky and talking about thirteen twelve right, 250 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.879 which is so wrong in so many different ways, including 251 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.879 on constitutionality. But but the left has never cared about 252 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.039 that right because what they know is the process is 253 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.279 the punishment. Fine, we're going to strip you of your 254 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.799 constitutional rights. Hey, good luck finding somebody to go litigate 255 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.320 your case all the way to the US Supreme Court, which, 256 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.720 by the way, happens over and over again out of Colorado, 257 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.600 and Colorado keeps losing over and over again in the 258 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.480 US Supreme Court. But you think these lefties care no 259 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.799 because along the way, think of all the people they silence, 260 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.679 all the people they censor because folks don't want to 261 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:27.000 go through that whole legal process, even though they're going 262 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.440 to win in the end. So that's part of the 263 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:33.480 insidiousness of the left. So some fresh tape on Polis 264 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.759 and thirteen twelve, and I counted at least six different 265 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:41.799 blatant falsehoods in there, and seven or eight just incredibly arrogant, 266 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:48.039 demeaning insults of major groups, starting with African Americans, extending 267 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.000 to Christians. Obviously a lot of African Americans. 268 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.600 Christians as well. 269 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.399 So they get a double dose of insult from Polis. 270 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.279 But what does he care? Right? 271 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:03.720 First leaving office. Second figures on a state level, he 272 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.120 can buy any office he wants with his money. So 273 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.039 three or three someone three eight two five five text 274 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.559 d An five seven seven three nine. It can have 275 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:15.759 a special guest from Focus on the Family. Glenn Stanton, 276 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.360 director of Global Family Formation, will be with us at 277 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:23.600 four thirty six because Focus has now been added to 278 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:28.200 the list of hate slash extremist groups from the Southern 279 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.919 Poverty Law Center, and so Focus will be here to 280 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.279 react to that, and in some ways, I think to 281 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:35.600 revel in it because. 282 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.799 There have been there are a lot of groups that are. 283 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.320 Named extremist or hate by Southern Poverty Law Center that 284 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.240 I've never heard of and I don't know anything about 285 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.039 and I can't comment on. But there are some other 286 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.399 groups such as Alliance Defending Freedom, which are some of 287 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.960 the most important, positive, greatest institutions in our country, who 288 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:59.679 get labeled as extremists because those on the left obviously 289 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.840 I was on the left one who impose their will, 290 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.759 and groups like Alliance Defending Freedom, you know, stand up 291 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:06.919 and stop. 292 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:08.600 The crazy left from getting their way. 293 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.080 So that guest at four point thirty six a text 294 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.320 Ryan says, I have absolutely nothing good to say about 295 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.159 Jared Poulos. I believe that he would not tell the 296 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.480 truth if his life depended on it no code Dan. 297 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.679 You know, it's so interesting to me, Ryan because while 298 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:25.480 we always disagreed on the big stuff, Polks and I 299 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.440 had a great relationship, became on our air off and 300 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.279 we had these great back and forth, spirited conversations, always friendly, 301 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.639 and then all of a sudden it turned, and it 302 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.159 turned during COVID and he would never come on. And 303 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.320 I think the reason is obvious, right, because he could 304 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.120 not answer the tough questions, and he knew I'd ask 305 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.759 the tough questions more importantly, I'd ask the tough follow 306 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.240 up questions, and so anyway, he yeah, he just stopped 307 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.919 coming on during COVID. And again, if I was him, 308 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:01.159 I wouldn't have come on to COVID because there's no 309 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.279 way in the world he could have began to justify 310 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.960 certain things he was doing, and I was talking on 311 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.039 air about all sorts of stuff most of the media 312 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.399 wasn't reporting. That made a clear Polis was failing miserably 313 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.120 with COVID in a lot of different ways. So who 314 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:21.360 does he go on with anymore? Obviously with Ross, but 315 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:22.840 not that often. 316 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.679 Right, Well, that's it, and the reasoning we've gotten from 317 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.759 the Polish team of communications is, Hey, we go on 318 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:32.200 with Ross and that's enough. 319 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:33.840 So he doesn't go on many Connell. 320 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.759 I don't know that he goes on Colorado's Morning news, 321 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.039 even which is all the more puzzling since Marty and 322 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.080 gin are are friendlies. 323 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.480 I would say to Polis in largers, you. 324 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.759 Say to Polis, there's no such thing as a friendly 325 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.039 if somebody's going to ask a fair question and more importantly, 326 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:51.000 the follow up question. 327 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.120 So if you get any kind. 328 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:57.320 Of reporter or host who has kind of that, you know, 329 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:01.120 self respect, and they're not just going to be obviously avoided, 330 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:03.440 then he's not going to go on there because he, 331 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.559 you know, he doesn't want to have to to try 332 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.159 to defend the indefensible. Hey, a lot of stuff happening 333 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:14.320 out there, right Mike Johnston, Why don't we go with 334 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.279 cut thirteen here? Mayor Mike Johnston of Denver. It just 335 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.559 keeps getting worse for him. 336 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.120 I think, Oh, he dropped the mall because it is 337 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.600 so much more than just one retail location or one block. 338 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.159 It is an entire mall of experience, a mile of experience. 339 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.600 Yeah, so they dropped the mall. 340 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:33.360 Good move, by the way, but I think it would 341 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.480 have been better just to get rid of the drugies, 342 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.919 just to say, Okay, this whole thing legalization of marijuana, 343 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:43.879 trying to attract every you know, pothead in the world 344 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.039 to downtown Denver, maybe not such. 345 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.440 A good idea, and that would have been a lot better. 346 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:50.519 But obviously misspoke. 347 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:54.200 I think his point is what it's it's so much 348 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.679 different than just sixteenth here. 349 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.919 What are they calling that thing? 350 00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:58.080 Now? 351 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:02.240 That's it sixteenth Street, oh, sixteenth Streets. So they're taking 352 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.399 out the mall part of it. 353 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:06.960 I get that paid one hundred grand for that consultation 354 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.160 from a London firm. 355 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.079 Yeah, yeah, because because malls have kind of lost their luster, right, 356 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.160 So no, hey, I can't fault them on that part. 357 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:16.680 What I can't fault him on, though. 358 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.599 Is is not doing the things that he needs to 359 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:21.640 do to make that place work. And everybody knows what 360 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.759 that is, right, everybody knows what that is. I mean, 361 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:26.960 you are not going to be able to get people 362 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.119 to go down there until you clean it up. And 363 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.759 to clean it up, you got to get rid of 364 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.039 the drugies. And the Left is never going to be 365 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.400 willing to get rid of the druggies. And I don't 366 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:41.559 say that with any kind of disdain that could be 367 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:42.079 any of us. 368 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.359 Man, these chemicals are so powerful. 369 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.759 I've known some people with the strongest possible will and 370 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.000 they just can't overcome the chemicals. And the Left is 371 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:55.200 just flooding our society with these drugs, right, And part 372 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.480 of it is they want more people dependent on government. 373 00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:59.720 So a drug society is going to be more dependent 374 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.480 on and they want to start with the kids, and 375 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.160 so this legalization. 376 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:04.839 Of marijuana's big part of that. 377 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.640 So I'm not in any way being disrespectful to these 378 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:11.319 people who end up in this very sad state. But 379 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.920 until the Left reverses its policy on legalized drugs and 380 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:20.079 then on how it treats addicts, you can do. 381 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:20.400 Whatever you want. 382 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.559 You can pave those streets and gold. You can pave 383 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.400 those streets and gold. You can put Denver Bronco cheerleaders 384 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.680 on every street corner. You're not going to be able 385 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:29.440 to get people. 386 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.119 To go down. There is there a flaw in that logic? 387 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.319 Hey, I guess from Focus on the Family after the 388 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:39.680 break now being named a paid group by the Southern 389 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:43.319 Poverty Law Center, So we'll get their reaction to that 390 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:45.319 that much more. Had three or three someone three A 391 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.359 two five five the number.

We played some tape earlier of the latest 396 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:18.160 from Jared Poulis toward Christians, but focus on the family 397 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:23.680 out of Colorado Springs now experiencing a different form of attack, 398 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.400 this from the Southern Poverty Law Center. And here to 399 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.160 talk with us about that is Glenn Stanton. Glenn, welcome 400 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:31.279 to the Dan Kaplis Show. 401 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:34.799
