I thought we're getting the Epstein 8 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:22.519 files today. Ryan, wasn't that your number one job today 9 00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:24.000 to get the Epstein files. 10 00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:25.000 I've been doing everything. 11 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.640 I ken your job man doing it? Well, then where 12 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.640 are the files? Hey, this is not the try hard league, 13 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:33.840 is to do good league, But where are the files? 14 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:34.320 Well? 15 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.240 Pam Bondi, Alina Haba, they both said that they're going 16 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.240 to be released. There's something about them wanting to make 17 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.320 sure the identities of the victims are protected, so they're 18 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.000 kind of tiptoeing around that. 19 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:46.640 That's the only explanation I've been given. 20 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.159 Well, listen, that would be totally legit, right, I mean, 21 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:55.399 because once those files are released, there's a danger that 22 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.560 any name that appears anywhere in the files, is all 23 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.719 of this going to be banished, you know, from civilized society, 24 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.519 no matter why they're in the files, And certainly the 25 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.599 victims need to be protected. So I get all of that. 26 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.319 I totally get all of that. It's just fascinating right 27 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.400 now because Pambondi had indicated yesterday there would be some 28 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.879 kind of release today and then did you see there 29 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:24.000 was something released, but apparently not something very significant. They 30 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.079 was given a bunch of influencers. Did you see that 31 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:27.920 whole scene? 32 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.319 Yeah? And I didn't care for that charade either. 33 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.719 Why did a bunch of ex influencers get the files 34 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.599 themselves rather than just distribute them to the public. 35 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.040 I don't understand the hold up here. 36 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.879 Well, and listen for those who haven't seen it, I'm 37 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.799 sure you will when you get home tonight, and don't 38 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.359 look all you drive. I know you already know that. 39 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.280 But this administration, which has been so close to flawless, 40 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.959 it's a human endeavor, right, It's never going to be perfect, 41 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:53.879 but it's going to be a lot better than almost 42 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.120 any other one. But they botched it today, right because 43 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.519 there's so much pressure to get the Epstein files least 44 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.840 that what the White House apparently did today was have 45 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.079 some of these influencer types show up and they gave 46 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.400 them binders labeled Epstein materials. And it's not all of 47 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.960 them are the most important stuff. But then there was 48 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.719 this really unfortunate scene where they walked outside of the 49 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.840 West Wing and then they were all smiling and laughing 50 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.280 and holding up the binders clearly to show, look, I've 51 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.639 got the binders. And it was just so inappropriate given 52 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.840 the underlying subject matter, right, which is child rape. And 53 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.639 so yeah, so the administration still in a plus administration, 54 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.879 but they botched this one today. But they're going to 55 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.039 have to get a grip on this Epstein file thing 56 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.360 because it's starting to cause a little tension between the 57 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.439 US Attorney's Office and the FBI right now. 58 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:48.639 You would think so. 59 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.919 And those were the two individuals who were mentioned by 60 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:57.000 Alina Habba, Cash Betel Pam Bondi, and she appeared earlier 61 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.840 with Pierce Morgan today, And i'll just play a portion 62 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:03.159 of the right here Dan this appearance on Pierce Morgan's 63 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.120 show in the UK. 64 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.360 Jeffrey Epstein files we're told are to be imminently unleashed, 65 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.800 and already we saw the Attorney General Pam Bondi say 66 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.599 that it's the scale of what happened is far worse 67 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.960 than anyone realized. Well over two hundred maybe two hundred 68 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.319 and fifty victims, and that we're going to get information 69 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.400 either later today or tomorrow from these files. 70 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.080 What can you tell me about that. 71 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.639 I believe it will be today. I was just with 72 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.759 I saw Pam and Cash in the White House just 73 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.120 before coming on your show, and I can tell you 74 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.879 that I haven't been privy to it yet, but I 75 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.120 know it is coming out. They will be taking portions 76 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:45.879 of it. We have to be patient. And I said 77 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.800 this last night at a dinner with some media, and 78 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.000 I said, I think America needs to remember one thing. 79 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.560 We are going to be promises made, promises kept. But 80 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.240 when you're dealing with victims, And by the way, this 81 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.080 is a perfect example of a case that was at 82 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.000 that went through trial, that had testimony and was prosecuted 83 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:09.599 the right way. And I don't preemptively attack. That's just 84 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.800 not the way I operate. But in this case, in 85 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:16.160 Epstein's case, it is incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, 86 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.639 we have information names that will come out well. 87 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.040 And it is so critical it come out, but it 88 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:24.759 has to come out the right way, right. So what 89 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.120 I don't get right now is why the crazy concern 90 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.879 over whether it's today or next week. I understand the 91 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.040 concern about whether it comes out at all, but nobody 92 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.199 should doubt Trump on that. Trump Trump made the promise. 93 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.560 That promise is going to be kept. But you've got 94 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.959 to do it the right way, obviously in fairness to 95 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.480 the victims, but also in fairness to people who, in theory, 96 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.720 now I'm not sure I could explain exactly how, but 97 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.000 in theory might have their names in these files but 98 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:57.120 not have been guilty of any of the sordidness. So yeah, 99 00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.319 this all needs to be released, Ryan, because I think 100 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.160 it goes to this big underlying issue as well, right, 101 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.399 and it's one of the few things that could threaten 102 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.439 the stability of the nation when you have this two 103 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.360 tiered system of justice and you have some people who 104 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.399 are above the law because of their money, political connections 105 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.279 that are on the left, etc. We just can't have that. 106 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.120 And I think most Americans are sitting there thinking this 107 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.680 Epstein thing is a classical, classic example of that. Right, 108 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.240 if they did that stuff, they'd be in jail for life. 109 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.199 But these rich and powerful people do it and they 110 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.959 get away with it. So yeah, that has to come out, 111 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.480 but you gotta do it right. So I don't care 112 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.800 whether it's tomorrow or a month from tomorrow, as long 113 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.279 as it happens and it's done right and innocent people 114 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.959 don't get harmed in the process. 115 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.600 And I was just commenting on this myself, Dan, as 116 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:50.120 somebody who extensively covered the Larry Nasser scandal from day one, 117 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.319 in that I understand that you want to protect the 118 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.120 identities of the victims if possible, But there came a 119 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.519 point in time, a tipping point, I would say, in 120 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.759 the Larry Nasser case where prosecutions took place, that the 121 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.279 girls didn't care about their anonymity anymore. 122 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:06.000 They wanted to. 123 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.360 Come forward and go on the record. It was a 124 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.199 big step, It took bravery and courage, but they wanted 125 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.680 to set an example for other little girls out there 126 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.800 so that it wouldn't happen again and it wouldn't happen 127 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.519 to somebody else, and they became heroes in that moment. 128 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.199 So I'm hoping that a similar tipping point might happen here. 129 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.680 I know these victims have been through a lot, but 130 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.399 that should not preempt the release of these files entire 131 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.240 to your point. 132 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.120 Yeah, And then the other point is that it's sometimes 133 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.240 not unanimous right. So, for understandable reasons, you can have 134 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.959 a set of victims of a mass sex crime like 135 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.160 that and maybe ninety percent of them want to go public, 136 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.199 but you almost always have a few. I'm thinking of 137 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.240 a civil case I did, which was absolutely horrific. Fortunately 138 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.560 the civil case went well, but you had loss of life, 139 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.759 you had sex assault, everything else, and at the end 140 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:01.519 of the day, one of the central characters was going 141 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.279 to be executed. And then you know, there were some 142 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.279 victims who wanted the executions, some victims who didn't. So 143 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.079 I'm just saying you can have that split view among victims, 144 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:16.040 and I think Bondi's right, the FBI's right to want 145 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.240 to be very careful and clear it with each and 146 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.360 every victim. And I think the other thing, Ryan is 147 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.800 that I guess it's theoretically possible you could have some 148 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.120 people named in these Epstein papers who did not participate 149 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.920 in any of the debauchery, in any of the rape. 150 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.879 Well one of those names too, Dan, I think that 151 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.600 has later been clarified as Alan Dershowitz, and he has 152 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.160 been fighting, i think, on the legal front against such allegations, 153 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.480 aspersions and accusations against him. You know, he represented Jeffrey 154 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.199 Epstein at one time, he was his lawyer, so there 155 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.480 might be some confusion along those lines. And I certainly 156 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.639 hope that the professor was not involved in any of this. 157 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.800 But I'm like, you, Dan, come what may. No matter 158 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:58.839 who's on that list or if they're on our side 159 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.600 politically or not, don't care. Get them out there, make 160 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.519 it public. And you know you have to be specific. 161 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.199 You're right about you know, who was on these flights, 162 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.279 the Lalita Express, whatever Bill Clinton, Bill Gates. 163 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.079 Service are alleged to have been on there, and can make. 164 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.839 It clear who was participating in the debauchery, as you 165 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.240 put it, and those the individuals that were not. 166 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.399 Yeah, yeah, So that's got to come out. The Doctor 167 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.079 King files have to come out, the JFK files have 168 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.920 to come out, because we're at a point there's no 169 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.600 denying it right where most thinking people right now do 170 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.919 not trust government the way they used to, not even 171 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:38.600 anywhere close to it. And so at this point, I 172 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.840 go back to my short lifetime, I go back to 173 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.360 when I was born, right my attitudes on just kind 174 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.120 of general trust of government have changed profoundly, and so 175 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.639 right now I think we the people, they work for us. 176 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.159 We have a right to see virtually everything, and if 177 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.159 we want to talk about the few exceptions, let's do 178 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.120 that and then just figure out what we've been told 179 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.279 the truth on and what we've been lied to about 180 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.720 exactly eight five five for zero five eight two five 181 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.960 five the number text d A N five seven seven 182 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.960 three nine. Hey, a lot of fun local stuff today, 183 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.399 and the reason for that is the left runs Colorado right, 184 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.600 and the left is whack, and the left is doing 185 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.480 whack things all the time, and as their stuff makes 186 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.799 Colorado worse, they just sort of keep doing more and 187 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.360 more wacky stuff. So very sad in what it's doing 188 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.840 to the state, but it's great to see the left 189 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.720 exposed this way. So we'll have a few of those 190 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.399 stories today, but when we come back. When we come back, 191 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.320 I want to get your reaction to this one as well. 192 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.879 Denver Strip club owners being sued for many, many millions 193 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.879 of dollars. Who do you think should win this? You're 194 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:46.159 on the Dan Kapla Show. 195 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.879 And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 196 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.399 Yeah, I think this is great. This is a huge 197 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:03.399 step towards transparency. Donald Trump said he was gonna be 198 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.399 transparent with the American people. Our House Oversight Committee created 199 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.639 a task force to try to get more of what 200 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.759 we call American secrets out in the public. The American 201 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.919 people deserve to know who was on that eptine list 202 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.600 and whether or not our government was spying on people 203 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.120 and allowing this to happen to get leverage. Were people 204 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.960 being blackmailed? This is a national security concern. So our 205 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:31.039 applaud Pam Bondi for releasing this later on today, and 206 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.759 I'm lucky. I'm gonna learn a lot once those names 207 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.519 are made public. 208 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.720 Yeah, Representative Comerce saying, hey, got to get it out there. 209 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.840 This headline on Fox. Pam Bondi sends letter to Cash 210 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:49.519 Patel accusing FBI of withholding documents. So yeah, yep, we 211 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.879 will see where this goes. I expect it will eventually 212 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.759 end with virtually everything being released, but slower than expected 213 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.000 for the reasons we discussed earlier, Right. I mean, I 214 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.399 do think you've got to bend over backwards to protect 215 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.480 victims' identities, and if there are people named these documents 216 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.320 who are innocent, then you've got to be sensitive to 217 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.080 that as well. But we need, we need the full 218 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:14.519 truth regarding everybody involved in any of this child rape. Hey, 219 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.120 I want to get to this story. See which side 220 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.440 you come down on a lot of people trying to 221 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:25.759 dance around it. This is Denver strip clubs cities going 222 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.840 after them. Hard cut, double zero please. 223 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.559 An owner of some strip clubs in Denver suing to 224 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.799 stop a wage theft investigation by the city and the 225 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.879 one thousand dollars a day fines that. 226 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:36.320 Come with it. 227 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.240 Not because they don't have the cash on hand. Presumably 228 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.919 the owners of PT Show Club, Diamond Cabaret, and PT 229 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.879 Centerfold could bring in a wheelbarrow full of singles every 230 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:46.879 day to pay the fine, but they say the investigation 231 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:51.000 is an invasion of their dancers privacy partners at Business 232 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.039 den we're the first to report on this lawsuit against 233 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.720 Denver's Division of Labor this week. Denver Labor ordered the 234 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.720 club owner RCI Holdings to turn over contracts, records another 235 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.519 info last month as part of this investigation. It's whether 236 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.399 the clubs are misclassifying their dancers to deny them benefits. 237 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:09.960 Clubs were threatened with daily fines up to a thousand 238 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.960 dollars if they didn't cooperate well. Clubs don't want to cooperate. 239 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:14.600 They're not about to make it rain on the city 240 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.759 auditor either. Rci's lawsuit says turning over the documents would 241 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.200 breach privacy agreements with the dancers, and said the city 242 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.240 is being paternalistic. 243 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.120 Let's see what the auditor says, and we'll try to 244 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:32.320 get Tim O'Brien on. Tim O'Brien says Diamond Cabaret and 245 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.720 Rix Cabaret violated nearly every applicable provision of Denver's minimum 246 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:41.519 wage laws, including misclassifying entertainers as exempt from the ordinances, 247 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.399 failing to pay staff the city's minimum wage, and stealing 248 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:49.399 money from entertainers is the allegation by requiring them to 249 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:54.480 pay fees for the privilege of working, Denver auditor Timothy M. 250 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.960 O'Brien said in a news release, How does that work, Ryan, 251 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:02.320 I mean, pay fees to work there. So you've got 252 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.200 these minimum wage requirements, right, But it seems like what 253 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:10.360 the auditors suggesting is that the women had to pay 254 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:12.480 to work there. I guess that means get up on 255 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.000 the stage if there's anybody in the audience, and I 256 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:19.080 know there are so many great folks who have done 257 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.159 this type of work at one point or another in 258 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.720 their career, or maybe doing it right now. We'd love 259 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.720 to get your take on all that. You can call 260 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:29.120 us eight five five four zero five eight two five 261 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.399 five the number or text d A N five seven 262 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.600 seven three nine would like to get the inside info 263 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.360 on this. Do you have any idea how that works? 264 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.240 Do women like pay to be able to work at 265 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:41.840 these places? 266 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.080 The only thing I could think of is that it 267 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:47.440 would function like a hair salon where a woman or 268 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:52.519 a man would rent out space for their own you know, share, 269 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.360 so to speak. It's chair fee. I think it's how 270 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.840 they go about that, okay, and that there might be 271 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.559 space in the changing area that they rent out and 272 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.159 then they collect tips. I'm not sure exactly how all 273 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.080 the financials go with all of that, but it does 274 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.639 seem a little peculiar as to what's happening here with 275 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:15.240 these women that are perhaps being taken advantage of financially well. 276 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.200 And the story goes on to say it quotes the 277 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.360 clubs as saying Domic Cabaret and Rix Cabret have fully 278 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.440 complied with the law, yet Denver labor in a display 279 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:31.440 of unchecked government overreach. Interesting term in that industry continues 280 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.320 to demand access to private business records beyond their legal authority, 281 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.559 despite the complete absence of any substantiated claims of wage theft. 282 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.440 These demands are not about justice, they are about control. 283 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.320 Seems to be a suggestion I read into that that 284 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.919 Denver's exercising some kind of moral judgment here. The allegation 285 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.799 the strip strip clubs exercised a quotes significant amount of 286 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.440 control over entertainer's working conditions. It found the clubs required 287 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.840 strippers to pay a house fee of up to eighty 288 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:09.000 five dollars per shift and an additional eight dollars promo 289 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:14.519 fee before working. Diamond Cabaret also imposes fines against entertainers 290 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:19.639 who violate certain rules. Managers, meanwhile, routinely take tips for 291 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:27.480 work performed by entertainers and tipped workers. The auditors determined, so, yeah, wow, 292 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:33.159 how much do you have any idea how much women make? Like, 293 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.279 if they're paying eighty five bucks per shift, and what's 294 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.279 a shift? Is a shift like one dance? Is it 295 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.039 a set number of dances? But if they're paying eighty 296 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.279 five bucks a shift, then I would imagine that the 297 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:46.679 pay is. 298 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:51.879 Pretty good, absolutely, and those that are more skilled in 299 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.080 the endeavor, shall we say, I bet they make six 300 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.840 figures easy. 301 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.639 Well, and you know, listen, obviously we don't have sub 302 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.440 poenut we don't know who's right or wrong here. I just, 303 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.879 you know, when it comes to any of this stuff, 304 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.559 you know, I just I just want to make sure that, 305 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.519 to the extent you legally can, people are making sure 306 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.840 that that vulnerable people, vulnerable people are protected. And I'm 307 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.960 not suggesting that every woman who goes and dances at 308 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:29.639 one of these clubs is somehow messed up or extremely 309 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.879 vulnerable or anything else. To the contrary, I've known some 310 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:36.720 women who are incredibly impressive professionals with their lives totally together, 311 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.519 who were out there doing this kind of work because 312 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.799 it paid the most quickest, and some of them just 313 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.360 like to dance, you know. But yeah, but I would imagine, 314 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.279 and I don't know this to be true, I'd imagine 315 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.679 that there's a danger in that industry that you can 316 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.320 run into some women who are in a very vulnerable situation. 317 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.639 There's no doubt about that, Dan, And yeah, I think 318 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:01.720 it's that the story is coming to light. But like 319 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:03.639 you said, you don't have subpoena power. There's only so 320 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.480 many things that we are pritvy to as far as 321 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.359 the facts and details of this, but I'd like to 322 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:08.200 hear more for sure. 323 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.240 Kil Well, the one thing we do know is that 324 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.799 Mike Johnston is just royally messing up Denver. But at 325 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.720 least the different ways he's doing it are kind of funny. 326 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.720 So no matter where you are in the state or 327 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.960 really anywhere in the country, this next story we're going 328 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.640 to cover in this next segment is worth a listen 329 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.720 because it goes to the broader point right that it's 330 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:33.240 not personal. I mean this, The Left's approach doesn't work. 331 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.880 It hasn't worked anywhere in human history. You may have 332 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.839 some brief moments when something appears to be working because 333 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.279 of a confluence of events, but the left's approach just 334 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.240 doesn't work over time. So now you see Denver falling 335 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.160 apart in some really key ways. And not just people 336 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.359 like me, you know, registered Republicans saying it. You have 337 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.960 very prominent like Denver restaurant owners saying it and giving 338 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.440 very concrete examples, people who are putting their own money 339 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.000 into trying to make it work in Denver. And again 340 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.720 it's an example, it's a vivid example of how this 341 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.920 stuff on the left does not work and sooner or 342 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.799 later things will crumble. So when we come back, we'll 343 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.319 dive into a couple of the most trees and Denver examples, 344 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.519 including okay, so what is the left solution now to 345 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.720 these restaurants that can't make it in Denver? So off 346 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:28.799 the leftist policies. Oh, charge more taxes on people going 347 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:30.880 at the restaurants. Yeah, that's going to get you more business. 348 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:33.119 Here on the Dan Kapla Show. 349 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:43.880 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 350 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.359 Anyone must kisses his bot and strokes his his tiny 351 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.480 ego or big ego, whatever it is, and he doesn't 352 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.079 get to do he can take a nap, while the 353 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.440 guy who's not born in this country, who was born 354 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:02.680 under apartheid in South Africa, so has that mentality going on. 355 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.039 He was pro apartheid. 356 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.519 Does I understand Italien? 357 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:07.839 Right? 358 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.759 He's a natural now here the naturalized? Oh really, how 359 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:11.599 didn't he do that? 360 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.200 Did he come over the borders? Yeah, he allegedly overstate 361 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:20.319 that visubject. But I think this is just perfectly wonderful 362 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.720 for Trump. He's been take a nap and let this 363 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:27.200 foreigner foreign agent, you know, an enemy of the United States. 364 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:28.839 Do his job? Anybody else. 365 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.680 You want to go with tards to necessarily call him 366 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:35.640 an enemy of the United States. 367 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:42.480 Yeah, let's get a minute. Yeah. So, I just love 368 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.319 it when the left talks like that, right, I mean, 369 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.200 it's just going to help conservative candidates across the country. 370 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:48.680 But there's a bigger point I wanted to make with 371 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.079 that before we get back to the latest craziest craziness 372 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.920 from the left in Colorado, and that is Listen that 373 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:58.440 the real reason I believe that they're so out of 374 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.400 their minds over Eli, Musk and Doge and getting into 375 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:06.160 all these systems is because, for the very first time, 376 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.920 I think in any of our lifetimes, right in a 377 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.920 government setting like this, you have conservatives in power who 378 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.400 have the competence and the technical skill and ability to 379 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.359 start to unravel what the left has actually been doing. 380 00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:24.359 And I mean something very precise there, I mean electronically 381 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:29.000 stored evidence. Because with Mosk you have these team of people, 382 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:30.880 and it peers a lot of our kids, a lot of 383 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:36.400 our younger who have these very high level digital sleuthing skills. 384 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:38.119 And I'm just telling you I know this from my 385 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:42.599 law practice. Is that when it comes to evidence, virtually 386 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.920 all important evidence now in all of our cases is 387 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.039 electronically stored, and you get defendants who are honest and 388 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:51.200 will produce stuff, you get some other defendants who are 389 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.799 dishonest and will hide stuff. So a lot of my 390 00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.799 time now is spent with really high level digital slews 391 00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:00.519 who know how to get in and and to look 392 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.640 for signs that things have been destroyed, altered, etc. And 393 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.039 then we're tracking down this digital evidence. So right now, 394 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.400 what I think is going on is Elon Musk with 395 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:13.160 his brilliance and obviously a lot of it coming in 396 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.400 the tech field, and his team of these kids who 397 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.279 are kind of super slews. I think they're able to 398 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.680 get in there and very quickly find patterns. They're able 399 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:29.440 to very quickly identify these electronic trails that lead them 400 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.039 to all kinds of scams. And my hunch, I can't 401 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:34.920
