Speaker 1: This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we're.
Speaker 1: Are the Epstein files. I thought we're getting the Epstein
Speaker 1: files today. Ryan, wasn't that your number one job today
Speaker 1: to get the Epstein files.
Speaker 2: I've been doing everything.
Speaker 1: I ken your job man doing it? Well, then where
Speaker 1: are the files? Hey, this is not the try hard league,
Speaker 1: is to do good league, But where are the files?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: Pam Bondi, Alina Haba, they both said that they're going
Speaker 3: to be released. There's something about them wanting to make
Speaker 3: sure the identities of the victims are protected, so they're
Speaker 3: kind of tiptoeing around that.
Speaker 2: That's the only explanation I've been given.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, that would be totally legit, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: because once those files are released, there's a danger that
Speaker 1: any name that appears anywhere in the files, is all
Speaker 1: of this going to be banished, you know, from civilized society,
Speaker 1: no matter why they're in the files, And certainly the
Speaker 1: victims need to be protected. So I get all of that.
Speaker 1: I totally get all of that. It's just fascinating right
Speaker 1: now because Pambondi had indicated yesterday there would be some
Speaker 1: kind of release today and then did you see there
Speaker 1: was something released, but apparently not something very significant. They
Speaker 1: was given a bunch of influencers. Did you see that
Speaker 1: whole scene?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And I didn't care for that charade either.
Speaker 3: Why did a bunch of ex influencers get the files
Speaker 3: themselves rather than just distribute them to the public.
Speaker 2: I don't understand the hold up here.
Speaker 1: Well, and listen for those who haven't seen it, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you will when you get home tonight, and don't
Speaker 1: look all you drive. I know you already know that.
Speaker 1: But this administration, which has been so close to flawless,
Speaker 1: it's a human endeavor, right, It's never going to be perfect,
Speaker 1: but it's going to be a lot better than almost
Speaker 1: any other one. But they botched it today, right because
Speaker 1: there's so much pressure to get the Epstein files least
Speaker 1: that what the White House apparently did today was have
Speaker 1: some of these influencer types show up and they gave
Speaker 1: them binders labeled Epstein materials. And it's not all of
Speaker 1: them are the most important stuff. But then there was
Speaker 1: this really unfortunate scene where they walked outside of the
Speaker 1: West Wing and then they were all smiling and laughing
Speaker 1: and holding up the binders clearly to show, look, I've
Speaker 1: got the binders. And it was just so inappropriate given
Speaker 1: the underlying subject matter, right, which is child rape. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, so the administration still in a plus administration,
Speaker 1: but they botched this one today. But they're going to
Speaker 1: have to get a grip on this Epstein file thing
Speaker 1: because it's starting to cause a little tension between the
Speaker 1: US Attorney's Office and the FBI right now.
Speaker 2: You would think so.
Speaker 3: And those were the two individuals who were mentioned by
Speaker 3: Alina Habba, Cash Betel Pam Bondi, and she appeared earlier
Speaker 3: with Pierce Morgan today, And i'll just play a portion
Speaker 3: of the right here Dan this appearance on Pierce Morgan's
Speaker 3: show in the UK.
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Epstein files we're told are to be imminently unleashed,
Speaker 4: and already we saw the Attorney General Pam Bondi say
Speaker 4: that it's the scale of what happened is far worse
Speaker 4: than anyone realized. Well over two hundred maybe two hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty victims, and that we're going to get information
Speaker 4: either later today or tomorrow from these files.
Speaker 2: What can you tell me about that.
Speaker 5: I believe it will be today. I was just with
Speaker 5: I saw Pam and Cash in the White House just
Speaker 5: before coming on your show, and I can tell you
Speaker 5: that I haven't been privy to it yet, but I
Speaker 5: know it is coming out. They will be taking portions
Speaker 5: of it. We have to be patient. And I said
Speaker 5: this last night at a dinner with some media, and
Speaker 5: I said, I think America needs to remember one thing.
Speaker 5: We are going to be promises made, promises kept. But
Speaker 5: when you're dealing with victims, And by the way, this
Speaker 5: is a perfect example of a case that was at
Speaker 5: that went through trial, that had testimony and was prosecuted
Speaker 5: the right way. And I don't preemptively attack. That's just
Speaker 5: not the way I operate. But in this case, in
Speaker 5: Epstein's case, it is incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs,
Speaker 5: we have information names that will come out well.
Speaker 1: And it is so critical it come out, but it
Speaker 1: has to come out the right way, right. So what
Speaker 1: I don't get right now is why the crazy concern
Speaker 1: over whether it's today or next week. I understand the
Speaker 1: concern about whether it comes out at all, but nobody
Speaker 1: should doubt Trump on that. Trump Trump made the promise.
Speaker 1: That promise is going to be kept. But you've got
Speaker 1: to do it the right way, obviously in fairness to
Speaker 1: the victims, but also in fairness to people who, in theory,
Speaker 1: now I'm not sure I could explain exactly how, but
Speaker 1: in theory might have their names in these files but
Speaker 1: not have been guilty of any of the sordidness. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this all needs to be released, Ryan, because I think
Speaker 1: it goes to this big underlying issue as well, right,
Speaker 1: and it's one of the few things that could threaten
Speaker 1: the stability of the nation when you have this two
Speaker 1: tiered system of justice and you have some people who
Speaker 1: are above the law because of their money, political connections
Speaker 1: that are on the left, etc. We just can't have that.
Speaker 1: And I think most Americans are sitting there thinking this
Speaker 1: Epstein thing is a classical, classic example of that. Right,
Speaker 1: if they did that stuff, they'd be in jail for life.
Speaker 1: But these rich and powerful people do it and they
Speaker 1: get away with it. So yeah, that has to come out,
Speaker 1: but you gotta do it right. So I don't care
Speaker 1: whether it's tomorrow or a month from tomorrow, as long
Speaker 1: as it happens and it's done right and innocent people
Speaker 1: don't get harmed in the process.
Speaker 3: And I was just commenting on this myself, Dan, as
Speaker 3: somebody who extensively covered the Larry Nasser scandal from day one,
Speaker 3: in that I understand that you want to protect the
Speaker 3: identities of the victims if possible, But there came a
Speaker 3: point in time, a tipping point, I would say, in
Speaker 3: the Larry Nasser case where prosecutions took place, that the
Speaker 3: girls didn't care about their anonymity anymore.
Speaker 2: They wanted to.
Speaker 3: Come forward and go on the record. It was a
Speaker 3: big step, It took bravery and courage, but they wanted
Speaker 3: to set an example for other little girls out there
Speaker 3: so that it wouldn't happen again and it wouldn't happen
Speaker 3: to somebody else, and they became heroes in that moment.
Speaker 3: So I'm hoping that a similar tipping point might happen here.
Speaker 3: I know these victims have been through a lot, but
Speaker 3: that should not preempt the release of these files entire
Speaker 3: to your point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then the other point is that it's sometimes
Speaker 1: not unanimous right. So, for understandable reasons, you can have
Speaker 1: a set of victims of a mass sex crime like
Speaker 1: that and maybe ninety percent of them want to go public,
Speaker 1: but you almost always have a few. I'm thinking of
Speaker 1: a civil case I did, which was absolutely horrific. Fortunately
Speaker 1: the civil case went well, but you had loss of life,
Speaker 1: you had sex assault, everything else, and at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, one of the central characters was going
Speaker 1: to be executed. And then you know, there were some
Speaker 1: victims who wanted the executions, some victims who didn't. So
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you can have that split view among victims,
Speaker 1: and I think Bondi's right, the FBI's right to want
Speaker 1: to be very careful and clear it with each and
Speaker 1: every victim. And I think the other thing, Ryan is
Speaker 1: that I guess it's theoretically possible you could have some
Speaker 1: people named in these Epstein papers who did not participate
Speaker 1: in any of the debauchery, in any of the rape.
Speaker 3: Well one of those names too, Dan, I think that
Speaker 3: has later been clarified as Alan Dershowitz, and he has
Speaker 3: been fighting, i think, on the legal front against such allegations,
Speaker 3: aspersions and accusations against him. You know, he represented Jeffrey
Speaker 3: Epstein at one time, he was his lawyer, so there
Speaker 3: might be some confusion along those lines. And I certainly
Speaker 3: hope that the professor was not involved in any of this.
Speaker 3: But I'm like, you, Dan, come what may. No matter
Speaker 3: who's on that list or if they're on our side
Speaker 3: politically or not, don't care. Get them out there, make
Speaker 3: it public. And you know you have to be specific.
Speaker 3: You're right about you know, who was on these flights,
Speaker 3: the Lalita Express, whatever Bill Clinton, Bill Gates.
Speaker 2: Service are alleged to have been on there, and can make.
Speaker 3: It clear who was participating in the debauchery, as you
Speaker 3: put it, and those the individuals that were not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So that's got to come out. The Doctor
Speaker 1: King files have to come out, the JFK files have
Speaker 1: to come out, because we're at a point there's no
Speaker 1: denying it right where most thinking people right now do
Speaker 1: not trust government the way they used to, not even
Speaker 1: anywhere close to it. And so at this point, I
Speaker 1: go back to my short lifetime, I go back to
Speaker 1: when I was born, right my attitudes on just kind
Speaker 1: of general trust of government have changed profoundly, and so
Speaker 1: right now I think we the people, they work for us.
Speaker 1: We have a right to see virtually everything, and if
Speaker 1: we want to talk about the few exceptions, let's do
Speaker 1: that and then just figure out what we've been told
Speaker 1: the truth on and what we've been lied to about
Speaker 1: exactly eight five five for zero five eight two five
Speaker 1: five the number text d A N five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. Hey, a lot of fun local stuff today,
Speaker 1: and the reason for that is the left runs Colorado right,
Speaker 1: and the left is whack, and the left is doing
Speaker 1: whack things all the time, and as their stuff makes
Speaker 1: Colorado worse, they just sort of keep doing more and
Speaker 1: more wacky stuff. So very sad in what it's doing
Speaker 1: to the state, but it's great to see the left
Speaker 1: exposed this way. So we'll have a few of those
Speaker 1: stories today, but when we come back. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction to this one as well.
Speaker 1: Denver Strip club owners being sued for many, many millions
Speaker 1: of dollars. Who do you think should win this? You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this is great. This is a huge
Speaker 7: step towards transparency. Donald Trump said he was gonna be
Speaker 7: transparent with the American people. Our House Oversight Committee created
Speaker 7: a task force to try to get more of what
Speaker 7: we call American secrets out in the public. The American
Speaker 7: people deserve to know who was on that eptine list
Speaker 7: and whether or not our government was spying on people
Speaker 7: and allowing this to happen to get leverage. Were people
Speaker 7: being blackmailed? This is a national security concern. So our
Speaker 7: applaud Pam Bondi for releasing this later on today, and
Speaker 7: I'm lucky. I'm gonna learn a lot once those names
Speaker 7: are made public.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Representative Comerce saying, hey, got to get it out there.
Speaker 1: This headline on Fox. Pam Bondi sends letter to Cash
Speaker 1: Patel accusing FBI of withholding documents. So yeah, yep, we
Speaker 1: will see where this goes. I expect it will eventually
Speaker 1: end with virtually everything being released, but slower than expected
Speaker 1: for the reasons we discussed earlier, Right. I mean, I
Speaker 1: do think you've got to bend over backwards to protect
Speaker 1: victims' identities, and if there are people named these documents
Speaker 1: who are innocent, then you've got to be sensitive to
Speaker 1: that as well. But we need, we need the full
Speaker 1: truth regarding everybody involved in any of this child rape. Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to get to this story. See which side
Speaker 1: you come down on a lot of people trying to
Speaker 1: dance around it. This is Denver strip clubs cities going
Speaker 1: after them. Hard cut, double zero please.
Speaker 8: An owner of some strip clubs in Denver suing to
Speaker 8: stop a wage theft investigation by the city and the
Speaker 8: one thousand dollars a day fines that.
Speaker 2: Come with it.
Speaker 8: Not because they don't have the cash on hand. Presumably
Speaker 8: the owners of PT Show Club, Diamond Cabaret, and PT
Speaker 8: Centerfold could bring in a wheelbarrow full of singles every
Speaker 8: day to pay the fine, but they say the investigation
Speaker 8: is an invasion of their dancers privacy partners at Business
Speaker 8: den we're the first to report on this lawsuit against
Speaker 8: Denver's Division of Labor this week. Denver Labor ordered the
Speaker 8: club owner RCI Holdings to turn over contracts, records another
Speaker 8: info last month as part of this investigation. It's whether
Speaker 8: the clubs are misclassifying their dancers to deny them benefits.
Speaker 8: Clubs were threatened with daily fines up to a thousand
Speaker 8: dollars if they didn't cooperate well. Clubs don't want to cooperate.
Speaker 8: They're not about to make it rain on the city
Speaker 8: auditor either. Rci's lawsuit says turning over the documents would
Speaker 8: breach privacy agreements with the dancers, and said the city
Speaker 8: is being paternalistic.
Speaker 1: Let's see what the auditor says, and we'll try to
Speaker 1: get Tim O'Brien on. Tim O'Brien says Diamond Cabaret and
Speaker 1: Rix Cabaret violated nearly every applicable provision of Denver's minimum
Speaker 1: wage laws, including misclassifying entertainers as exempt from the ordinances,
Speaker 1: failing to pay staff the city's minimum wage, and stealing
Speaker 1: money from entertainers is the allegation by requiring them to
Speaker 1: pay fees for the privilege of working, Denver auditor Timothy M.
Speaker 1: O'Brien said in a news release, How does that work, Ryan,
Speaker 1: I mean, pay fees to work there. So you've got
Speaker 1: these minimum wage requirements, right, But it seems like what
Speaker 1: the auditors suggesting is that the women had to pay
Speaker 1: to work there. I guess that means get up on
Speaker 1: the stage if there's anybody in the audience, and I
Speaker 1: know there are so many great folks who have done
Speaker 1: this type of work at one point or another in
Speaker 1: their career, or maybe doing it right now. We'd love
Speaker 1: to get your take on all that. You can call
Speaker 1: us eight five five four zero five eight two five
Speaker 1: five the number or text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine would like to get the inside info
Speaker 1: on this. Do you have any idea how that works?
Speaker 1: Do women like pay to be able to work at
Speaker 1: these places?
Speaker 3: The only thing I could think of is that it
Speaker 3: would function like a hair salon where a woman or
Speaker 3: a man would rent out space for their own you know, share,
Speaker 3: so to speak. It's chair fee. I think it's how
Speaker 3: they go about that, okay, and that there might be
Speaker 3: space in the changing area that they rent out and
Speaker 3: then they collect tips. I'm not sure exactly how all
Speaker 3: the financials go with all of that, but it does
Speaker 3: seem a little peculiar as to what's happening here with
Speaker 3: these women that are perhaps being taken advantage of financially well.
Speaker 1: And the story goes on to say it quotes the
Speaker 1: clubs as saying Domic Cabaret and Rix Cabret have fully
Speaker 1: complied with the law, yet Denver labor in a display
Speaker 1: of unchecked government overreach. Interesting term in that industry continues
Speaker 1: to demand access to private business records beyond their legal authority,
Speaker 1: despite the complete absence of any substantiated claims of wage theft.
Speaker 1: These demands are not about justice, they are about control.
Speaker 1: Seems to be a suggestion I read into that that
Speaker 1: Denver's exercising some kind of moral judgment here. The allegation
Speaker 1: the strip strip clubs exercised a quotes significant amount of
Speaker 1: control over entertainer's working conditions. It found the clubs required
Speaker 1: strippers to pay a house fee of up to eighty
Speaker 1: five dollars per shift and an additional eight dollars promo
Speaker 1: fee before working. Diamond Cabaret also imposes fines against entertainers
Speaker 1: who violate certain rules. Managers, meanwhile, routinely take tips for
Speaker 1: work performed by entertainers and tipped workers. The auditors determined, so, yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: how much do you have any idea how much women make? Like,
Speaker 1: if they're paying eighty five bucks per shift, and what's
Speaker 1: a shift? Is a shift like one dance? Is it
Speaker 1: a set number of dances? But if they're paying eighty
Speaker 1: five bucks a shift, then I would imagine that the
Speaker 1: pay is.
Speaker 3: Pretty good, absolutely, and those that are more skilled in
Speaker 3: the endeavor, shall we say, I bet they make six
Speaker 3: figures easy.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, listen, obviously we don't have sub
Speaker 1: poenut we don't know who's right or wrong here. I just,
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to any of this stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, I just I just want to make sure that,
Speaker 1: to the extent you legally can, people are making sure
Speaker 1: that that vulnerable people, vulnerable people are protected. And I'm
Speaker 1: not suggesting that every woman who goes and dances at
Speaker 1: one of these clubs is somehow messed up or extremely
Speaker 1: vulnerable or anything else. To the contrary, I've known some
Speaker 1: women who are incredibly impressive professionals with their lives totally together,
Speaker 1: who were out there doing this kind of work because
Speaker 1: it paid the most quickest, and some of them just
Speaker 1: like to dance, you know. But yeah, but I would imagine,
Speaker 1: and I don't know this to be true, I'd imagine
Speaker 1: that there's a danger in that industry that you can
Speaker 1: run into some women who are in a very vulnerable situation.
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that, Dan, And yeah, I think
Speaker 3: it's that the story is coming to light. But like
Speaker 3: you said, you don't have subpoena power. There's only so
Speaker 3: many things that we are pritvy to as far as
Speaker 3: the facts and details of this, but I'd like to
Speaker 3: hear more for sure.
Speaker 1: Kil Well, the one thing we do know is that
Speaker 1: Mike Johnston is just royally messing up Denver. But at
Speaker 1: least the different ways he's doing it are kind of funny.
Speaker 1: So no matter where you are in the state or
Speaker 1: really anywhere in the country, this next story we're going
Speaker 1: to cover in this next segment is worth a listen
Speaker 1: because it goes to the broader point right that it's
Speaker 1: not personal. I mean this, The Left's approach doesn't work.
Speaker 1: It hasn't worked anywhere in human history. You may have
Speaker 1: some brief moments when something appears to be working because
Speaker 1: of a confluence of events, but the left's approach just
Speaker 1: doesn't work over time. So now you see Denver falling
Speaker 1: apart in some really key ways. And not just people
Speaker 1: like me, you know, registered Republicans saying it. You have
Speaker 1: very prominent like Denver restaurant owners saying it and giving
Speaker 1: very concrete examples, people who are putting their own money
Speaker 1: into trying to make it work in Denver. And again
Speaker 1: it's an example, it's a vivid example of how this
Speaker 1: stuff on the left does not work and sooner or
Speaker 1: later things will crumble. So when we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: dive into a couple of the most trees and Denver examples,
Speaker 1: including okay, so what is the left solution now to
Speaker 1: these restaurants that can't make it in Denver? So off
Speaker 1: the leftist policies. Oh, charge more taxes on people going
Speaker 1: at the restaurants. Yeah, that's going to get you more business.
Speaker 1: Here on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 9: Anyone must kisses his bot and strokes his his tiny
Speaker 9: ego or big ego, whatever it is, and he doesn't
Speaker 9: get to do he can take a nap, while the
Speaker 9: guy who's not born in this country, who was born
Speaker 9: under apartheid in South Africa, so has that mentality going on.
Speaker 1: He was pro apartheid.
Speaker 9: Does I understand Italien?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 1: He's a natural now here the naturalized? Oh really, how
Speaker 1: didn't he do that?
Speaker 9: Did he come over the borders? Yeah, he allegedly overstate
Speaker 9: that visubject. But I think this is just perfectly wonderful
Speaker 9: for Trump. He's been take a nap and let this
Speaker 9: foreigner foreign agent, you know, an enemy of the United States.
Speaker 1: Do his job? Anybody else.
Speaker 5: You want to go with tards to necessarily call him
Speaker 5: an enemy of the United States.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get a minute. Yeah. So, I just love
Speaker 1: it when the left talks like that, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just going to help conservative candidates across the country.
Speaker 1: But there's a bigger point I wanted to make with
Speaker 1: that before we get back to the latest craziest craziness
Speaker 1: from the left in Colorado, and that is Listen that
Speaker 1: the real reason I believe that they're so out of
Speaker 1: their minds over Eli, Musk and Doge and getting into
Speaker 1: all these systems is because, for the very first time,
Speaker 1: I think in any of our lifetimes, right in a
Speaker 1: government setting like this, you have conservatives in power who
Speaker 1: have the competence and the technical skill and ability to
Speaker 1: start to unravel what the left has actually been doing.
Speaker 1: And I mean something very precise there, I mean electronically
Speaker 1: stored evidence. Because with Mosk you have these team of people,
Speaker 1: and it peers a lot of our kids, a lot of
Speaker 1: our younger who have these very high level digital sleuthing skills.
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you I know this from my
Speaker 1: law practice. Is that when it comes to evidence, virtually
Speaker 1: all important evidence now in all of our cases is
Speaker 1: electronically stored, and you get defendants who are honest and
Speaker 1: will produce stuff, you get some other defendants who are
Speaker 1: dishonest and will hide stuff. So a lot of my
Speaker 1: time now is spent with really high level digital slews
Speaker 1: who know how to get in and and to look
Speaker 1: for signs that things have been destroyed, altered, etc. And
Speaker 1: then we're tracking down this digital evidence. So right now,
Speaker 1: what I think is going on is Elon Musk with
Speaker 1: his brilliance and obviously a lot of it coming in
Speaker 1: the tech field, and his team of these kids who
Speaker 1: are kind of super slews. I think they're able to
Speaker 1: get in there and very quickly find patterns. They're able
Speaker 1: to very quickly identify these electronic trails that lead them
Speaker 1: to all kinds of scams. And my hunch, I can't
Speaker 1: prove it, we'll see if it ends up being true,
Speaker 1: is that the Left four years has been setting up
Speaker 1: these schemes and these scams within a lot of these
Speaker 1: different agencies that just keep spitting money back to the
Speaker 1: Left and to their causes, etc. I'm not saying into
Speaker 1: individuals pockets like thefts. But I think they are terrified
Speaker 1: that Elon Musk and his team are going to be
Speaker 1: able to get to the bottom of it electronically. That's
Speaker 1: what I think is causing this mass panic, and I
Speaker 1: think they probably will be And my hunch is that America,
Speaker 1: you know, shock's an overused word, but America will be
Speaker 1: absolutely outraged when they get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 1: I think that's why the Left is going to court
Speaker 1: to try to keep Elon Musk and his team out
Speaker 1: of the systems. Because listen, if we're talking about congressional
Speaker 1: committees right that are doing their typical investigations. Yeah, guys
Speaker 1: like Comber, they're really good, but give me a break.
Speaker 1: These congressional committees don't have the staffing, they don't have
Speaker 1: the expertise, they don't have the time to be able
Speaker 1: to really dig in and get to the bottom of everything.
Speaker 1: And Comer did a great job, you know, hunting down
Speaker 1: Biden trails, Biden family trails. But you put a guy
Speaker 1: like Musk who builds rockets and companies like Tesla, and
Speaker 1: you put his team of cyber slews in there, they
Speaker 1: can get to the bottom of stuff. And that's what's
Speaker 1: freaking the left. So anyway, that's my big news of
Speaker 1: the Hey, how about you the big news?
Speaker 3: Well, I got a couple of things that I sent
Speaker 3: you there, Dan updates Galore. Liz Wheeler is one of
Speaker 3: these online influencers who was given the binder of documents
Speaker 3: pertaining to the Epstein files ahead of time, and she
Speaker 3: kind of lays out a timeline what's going on here,
Speaker 3: that there are missing pages that the FBI was told
Speaker 3: to deliver that they failed to do. So the Pambondi
Speaker 3: contacted Cash Ptel about it, and Patel, to my knowledge,
Speaker 3: is committed to a rooting out whatever corruption there is
Speaker 3: the FBI and unveiling whatever is trying to be concealed.
Speaker 3: So there's that element and update to that story if
Speaker 3: you want to get into that. And then also on
Speaker 3: Denver Wright Mayor Mike Johnston in his typical fashion, like
Speaker 3: with his ten men Square comments, he is backpedaling off
Speaker 3: of the twenty percent citywide fie on restaurant bills. He
Speaker 3: just says it was an idea and he wants the
Speaker 3: restaurants to do it themselves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll get to that story, but first we
Speaker 1: have to get to this megas story about this email
Speaker 1: to the mayor by fourteen really prominent restaurant owners in Denver.
Speaker 1: So this isn't like, you know, young Republicans of the
Speaker 1: Dankpla Show or something like that, you know, pointing out
Speaker 1: more failings of Mike Johnston. These are big time restaurant
Speaker 1: tours and I would bet the vast majority of them
Speaker 1: are not Conservatives who are or are calling out Johnston
Speaker 1: saying literally verbatim, it's completely falling apart. And it is
Speaker 1: because this stuff on the left doesn't work. I do
Speaker 1: want to get to Jack and Cheyenne and then some
Speaker 1: of our textures. You're on the dan Kaplis Show. Welcome Jack,
Speaker 1: Hello Jack, Hail Jack.
Speaker 10: What do you think I am? Well, I mean I
Speaker 10: can think about anything, you know that, And of course
Speaker 10: my thinking's not all that great. In fact, I've been
Speaker 10: talking to Craig lately. My big, my big thing.
Speaker 11: That's stuck under my crawl is this January sixth insurrection nonsense.
Speaker 11: Now it's been proven that Trump offered National Guard to
Speaker 11: and the number of two thousand. They were turned down
Speaker 11: by the Democrat mayor of d C, turned down by Pelosi,
Speaker 11: and it was turned down for one reason, and one
Speaker 11: reason only. They knew there would be some opposition to
Speaker 11: what pens did by certifying an election that was obviously
Speaker 11: shouldn't have been certified. And and and they're going to
Speaker 11: take whoever protested about that and call them insurrectionists. And
Speaker 11: they're going to say that they were working at the direction.
Speaker 10: Of Donald Trump. This whole insurrection thing has been proven
Speaker 10: to be false. And if the Democrats were afraid of insurrection,
Speaker 10: why didn't they accept the two thousand National Guard guards.
Speaker 10: If they thought there was going to be a problem,
Speaker 10: they didn't do it. They didn't do it so they
Speaker 10: could play this.
Speaker 11: This scenario of insurrectionists against against Donald Trump.
Speaker 10: It's it's dolly, It's so transparent. A blurving idiot can
Speaker 10: see it. And I've been talking to Craig a lot lately,
Speaker 10: by the way, and he's basically he's basically told me
Speaker 10: he doesn't want to talk to me anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, then I do have to ask. I'm sure everybody's curious,
Speaker 1: how do you end up talking to him? Then? I mean,
Speaker 1: are you like following him around?
Speaker 10: Or well, I wouldn't say that. It's only been in
Speaker 10: the last couple of days apparently I'm calling him, and
Speaker 10: he's mad because apparently he's not in Denver anymore. He's
Speaker 10: moved west. He's in an earlier time zone. He says,
Speaker 10: I wake him up. But you gotta stop calling on anybody.
Speaker 1: Stop calling.
Speaker 12: I will.
Speaker 10: But the thing is, he slammed the door on me,
Speaker 10: and he's locked up on this insurrection nonsense, and is
Speaker 10: way way way too smart to find into that.
Speaker 1: Jack, Don't let it aggravate you. Look at it. We
Speaker 1: had so many great years together on this show, and
Speaker 1: I just I just remember all those good times and
Speaker 1: everything else and differences on other stuff. Just let it go.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 1: Why do you feel compelled because you got this one
Speaker 1: guy who disagrees with you? Why do you compel feel
Speaker 1: compelled to keep calling him?
Speaker 10: No, I don't keep calling him. It's only been in
Speaker 10: the last day or so, and he has to call
Speaker 10: me back. But he's sung on this insurrection still. And
Speaker 10: what I'm saying is he's too smart to believe that.
Speaker 10: I mean, the evidence is square that they've set it
Speaker 10: up so they can have that argument. Well, I mean
Speaker 10: it's gonna set up by the Democrats.
Speaker 1: Jack. I think the American people have rendered their verdict
Speaker 1: right on J six, and I think any thinking person
Speaker 1: would have to see it the same way, which is,
Speaker 1: you had some people on J six who they were
Speaker 1: not directed or incited by Donald Trump, it is their
Speaker 1: fault they did it. You had some people on J
Speaker 1: six commit serious crimes for which they should be seriously punished.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they should be punished beyond what somebody
Speaker 1: on the left would be punished, but they should be punished.
Speaker 1: You had other people who got swept up in it
Speaker 1: and then were way overcharged. You had a whole mix
Speaker 1: of things going on there. And then you had the Democrats.
Speaker 1: Essentially they had twin pillars in the campaign, right, which
Speaker 1: helps explain why they got spanked so bad. And their
Speaker 1: twin pillars were abortioned to the moment the babies behind
Speaker 1: us slapped and J six those were the twin pillars
Speaker 1: of their election campaign. And how did that work out?
Speaker 1: From Jack? Always great to talk to. You got to
Speaker 1: hit this heartbreak now, my friend. Hey, when we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about some more examples of craziness out of
Speaker 1: Denver again. But it just makes the bigger point, right,
Speaker 1: stuff on the left doesn't work. But then the question
Speaker 1: for you is can Republicans take advantage of that? Can
Speaker 1: they win statewide in Colorado? When you have things so
Speaker 1: bad under the left, why aren't Republicans breaking through more?
Speaker 1: You're on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 13: Authorities in New Mexico are investigating for legendary actor Gene Hackman,
Speaker 13: His wife, and their dog were all found dead inside
Speaker 13: of their home.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 13: According to a search warrant, investigators found no signs of
Speaker 13: carbon monoxide and no signs of forced entry. The front
Speaker 13: door was open when the couple was found. An investigator
Speaker 13: say they found an open bottle of prescription pills near
Speaker 13: Hackman's wife. Police assured the community there is no danger
Speaker 13: to public.
Speaker 1: What do you think happened?
Speaker 3: It's hard to figure this one out, Dan. I mean,
Speaker 3: you have Gene Hackman, who apparently suffered a fall. He's
Speaker 3: ninety five years old, that could very well kill a
Speaker 3: man of that age. But then his wife was dead
Speaker 3: inside in a bathroom. Is she had pills strewn about
Speaker 3: on the countertop of that bathroom, and then separately from.
Speaker 6: That, one of their dogs had died.
Speaker 3: So all of this had happened, you would think concurrently,
Speaker 3: but the why behind this is a lot harder to
Speaker 3: figure out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think most people suspect the same thing,
Speaker 1: and that would be really sad.
Speaker 2: But what would that be him?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I'm not saying that's what happened there, right,
Speaker 1: But don't you think everybody listening this story suspects that
Speaker 1: at least one person in there took their own life.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: think that's probably the public suspicion, my suspicion. While I'm
Speaker 1: on that, did you realize that Colorado is a program
Speaker 1: now where and I mean like an active assisted suicide
Speaker 1: program where you have people just like getting medical help
Speaker 1: to kill themselves like Canada. Yeah, there's one going on
Speaker 1: in Colorado right now that you know that.
Speaker 2: No, I did not know.
Speaker 1: I did not know that. I mean, there's so much
Speaker 1: craziness on the left or trying to keep up with.
Speaker 3: But this happened in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which is
Speaker 3: the kind of the compound that Gene Hackman and his
Speaker 3: younger wife lived on.
Speaker 2: She was sixty three, he was ninety five.
Speaker 3: The dog dying, I mean, the only thing that explains
Speaker 3: it and ties it all together. Was his daughter's initial
Speaker 3: thought was carbon monoxide poisoning, but the fire department came
Speaker 3: and said there wasn't a leak.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of mystery to this. Yeah.
Speaker 14: By the way, Dan, just to kind of add to that.
Speaker 14: On Martina today, we took a call about a gentleman
Speaker 14: who has just been diagnosed with stage four cancer and
Speaker 14: wanted to take his own life. And I wasn't under
Speaker 14: the impression that Colorado had a program like that, but
Speaker 14: apparently there is something like that. But Mark and Suzanne
Speaker 14: and pretty much the whole Martino people talked him out
Speaker 14: of it.
Speaker 1: Well, good, good, and yeah. And I was unaware Colorado
Speaker 1: had that program until I was talking to a friend
Speaker 1: who was talking about a friend of theirs who had
Speaker 1: just done it, and I was like, oh, omge, hey,
Speaker 1: let's go to the phone lines. Because I that Gene
Speaker 1: Heckman's story. I wanted to go off on a tangent
Speaker 1: to how many years of difference is too many, like
Speaker 1: in a relationship, Amy and I are nine years apart,
Speaker 1: and that seems to have worked out very well at
Speaker 1: least for me. Dean and Arvada, you're on the Dan Kaplis,
Speaker 1: she'll welcome.
Speaker 12: Hey, Dan, good evening. The reason I was Colin, You know,
Speaker 12: Elon Musk is getting hammered by liberal media outlets like
Speaker 12: The View, et cetera. I would think that if he
Speaker 12: goes after any of these places with a libel lawsuit,
Speaker 12: he's going to destroy him. They can't. They can't fight
Speaker 12: a guy with that much money.
Speaker 1: You know that. That's a great point, Deing, And I
Speaker 1: bet that day is coming soon, and that will be
Speaker 1: a great day, assuming he's truly libeled, because it's great
Speaker 1: now when we see Trump and others step up and say,
Speaker 1: wait a second. The standard's high under New York Times v. Sullivan,
Speaker 1: but there's still a standard, and because the left have
Speaker 1: gotten to the point where it just flat lies about
Speaker 1: people and then just assumes they won't sue him. So
Speaker 1: I bet you're right about that. Yeah, I bet you're right.
Speaker 12: I have one question, Yeah, I have one question. Can
Speaker 12: he actually go after what was that lady's name you
Speaker 12: just said on the air from the view person instead
Speaker 12: of going after the view Oh you could.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but listen, I'd have to replay her comments to
Speaker 1: see if there's anything defamatory in there.
Speaker 12: Okay, well he said a part time member and all whatever.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 12: She was, oh, yeah, yeah about that. But I'm just
Speaker 12: curious if they say it personally, even on the air them.
Speaker 1: No, you can do both, Yeah, you can do both. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you man. I appreciate the call. Appreciate the call
Speaker 1: from Dean. And if we have time right now, and
Speaker 1: maybe i'll do it later in the show, i'd play
Speaker 1: those comments back and we'd use him as an example
Speaker 1: of what's defamation against a public figure and what isn't.
Speaker 1: And then starting point right is whether it's a public
Speaker 1: figure or a private person, it's got to be a
Speaker 1: statement of fact. It cannot be opinion. So I don't
Speaker 1: remember to you Ryan, if joy Behard made a statement
Speaker 1: of fact, yes, that Musk had supported a part.
Speaker 3: Time Yeah, that he was pro apartheid. Absolutely. I have
Speaker 3: the clip right here. We might as well just revisit
Speaker 3: her right now. We have time and just listen, really
Speaker 3: click carefully.
Speaker 9: Anyone Musk kisses his butt and strokes his his tiny
Speaker 9: ego or a big ego, whatever it is, and he
Speaker 9: doesn't get to do he can take a nap while
Speaker 9: the guy was not born in this country, who was
Speaker 9: born under apartheid in South Africa, so has that mentality
Speaker 9: going on. He was pro apartheid, as I understand it.
Speaker 2: So that's the part that we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Okay. So if it's a statement of fact and it's
Speaker 1: an untrue statement of fact, now here's where it gets
Speaker 1: tough with the public figure, right, you'd have to be
Speaker 1: able to prove that she knew it was false or
Speaker 1: had a reckless disregard for whether it was true. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're talking about a private person, that's going to
Speaker 1: be a much lower standard. So thank you for playing that.
Speaker 1: That's a good example. Let's go to Ryan in Roxborough.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan CAPLI show. Welcome Ryan.
Speaker 12: Hey, how you doing, Dan good Man?
Speaker 15: I just wanted to say that I agree with your
Speaker 15: assessant of Elon munk Can. I honestly support everything that
Speaker 15: he does. But I have a real concern a blowback
Speaker 15: here with the DOGE and the hiring of all these
Speaker 15: very low level employees, which again I'm not against, but
Speaker 15: if they don't start like bringing heads to the table,
Speaker 15: hire ups who are responsible for actually the misuse spending
Speaker 15: of a lot of this money by.
Speaker 12: The billions, and they only fire low level people.
Speaker 10: I just feel like.
Speaker 1: They're great, thought right. Thank you for that. We're about
Speaker 1: to get a hard newsbreak. Let me continue that on
Speaker 1: the other side, and why Musk is going to be
Speaker 1: so successful
