Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis 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: A lot of fighting left to do.
Speaker 1: Hey, let the celebration continue though, because of the big
Speaker 1: victory one obviously, Yeah, the inauguration coming up on Monday.
Speaker 1: But Trump already improving America in the world in so
Speaker 1: many concrete ways, and we'll have the.
Speaker 2: Latest of those today.
Speaker 1: And I have shifted from predicting that Pete Hegseth is
Speaker 1: going to get confirmed to predicting that Pete Hegseth is
Speaker 1: going to go into office with great momentum. Not only
Speaker 1: will he be confirmed, he's going into office with great momentum,
Speaker 1: and I think he's going to be a great change agent.
Speaker 1: Really shined in a lot of ways that the hearing today.
Speaker 1: I can watch a wire to wire busy getting ready
Speaker 1: for a trial. But the video that I've seen, both
Speaker 1: the pro and con sponsored video, I think he's done
Speaker 1: really well, including this.
Speaker 3: The wokness comes not from the uniform ranked senator, from
Speaker 3: the political class on day one on January twentieth, when
Speaker 3: President Trump is sworn in, he.
Speaker 2: Will issue a new set of lawful orders, and.
Speaker 3: The leadership of our services will have an opportunity to
Speaker 3: follow those lawful orders or not. Those lawful orders will
Speaker 3: not be based on politics. They will be based on readiness, accountability, standards,
Speaker 3: and lethality. That is the process by which leaders will
Speaker 3: be judged. And accountability is coming, because everybody in this
Speaker 3: room knows.
Speaker 2: If you're a rifleman and you lose.
Speaker 3: Your rifle, they're throwing the book at you. But if
Speaker 3: you're a general who loses a war, you get a promotion.
Speaker 1: See that is perfect, and that's inspiring. That helps America.
Speaker 1: And here's the point that when you have the skill
Speaker 1: set he has first he had in the military, right,
Speaker 1: he walk the talk. But then you know his on
Speaker 1: air stuff which the left tries to use against him.
Speaker 1: All Wait a second, not all, but many of the
Speaker 1: great figures in history have accomplished tremendous things for the
Speaker 1: free world are people with superior communication skills.
Speaker 2: He has those. That's important.
Speaker 1: That was on display today and that went a long
Speaker 1: way towards short circuiting. You know, his hysterical opposition eight
Speaker 1: five five for zero five two five to five the
Speaker 1: number text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: But so much.
Speaker 1: Locally that we need to talk about, right, because we
Speaker 1: have this horrific situation where we had a serial killer,
Speaker 1: a serial mass killer loose on the mall. The fact
Speaker 1: that two of us three stabbing victims survived on Saturday
Speaker 1: doesn't change the fact he meant to kill all of them,
Speaker 1: and he grotesquely, gruesomely slit the throat of a flight
Speaker 1: attendant so by at the latest, early Saturday night, the
Speaker 1: City of Denver officials they knew they had a mass killer,
Speaker 1: a serial mass killer loose who was targeting them all.
Speaker 1: Somebody in my count seriously protected opinion. But it's not
Speaker 1: a stretch, right, somebody made the decision not to warn
Speaker 1: the public about that. I'm not saying they didn't issue
Speaker 1: some kind of statement. I'm telling listen, you want to
Speaker 1: warn the public, say their own sons and daughters, mothers
Speaker 1: and fathers, uncles and aunts, we're going to be down
Speaker 1: on the mall. You think they would have settled for
Speaker 1: some little tweet they send out or some little statement. No,
Speaker 1: it would have been a five line far get your
Speaker 1: ass off the mall, don't go anywhere near there. We
Speaker 1: got a serial killer loose on the wall. Any decent human,
Speaker 1: any decent human, would have used every means of communication
Speaker 1: possible to warn everybody, everybody in America, but certainly everybody
Speaker 1: in Colorado. We have a serial killer loose on the mall.
Speaker 1: But they didn't. And why didn't they? You know why
Speaker 1: they didn't. But it's unforgivable, it's inexcusable, and it's a
Speaker 1: disqualifier for whatever position they hold. And if the mayor
Speaker 1: did not know, if he's that out of the loop,
Speaker 1: he shouldn't be mayor. If he did know, and then.
Speaker 2: He decided not to warn the public, he not.
Speaker 1: Only should be mayor, he should just he shouldn't be
Speaker 1: in any position anywhere.
Speaker 2: So we need the truth here. And what did we
Speaker 2: get yesterday?
Speaker 1: We got a grotesque, perverse, obscene victory lap taken by
Speaker 1: Mayor Mike Johnston down on the mall of all places,
Speaker 1: after a few seconds of lip service to the victims,
Speaker 1: he did what he'd come to do. He took a
Speaker 1: victory lap because he obviously doesn't care about innocent victims,
Speaker 1: or else he would have warned everybody, and you sure
Speaker 1: wouldn't go to that spot, and how obscene, how disrespectful
Speaker 1: to the victims and their families to go down to
Speaker 1: the mall and then do a victory lap about how
Speaker 1: great Denver is, you know, where the blood had probably
Speaker 1: barely been cleaned up, you know, from the mass killer
Speaker 1: targeting the mall. And so then we get one of
Speaker 1: the instant classic moments in Denver history. And then we'll
Speaker 1: get to the next way that they're making the Democrats
Speaker 1: are making Denver and Colorado less safe.
Speaker 2: But we get one of these great moments.
Speaker 1: Right because this twisted sister kind of move of going
Speaker 1: down to the mall to declare victory after this carnage.
Speaker 1: He's then doing this presser and if you go watch
Speaker 1: the video, we'll get the whole video posted. It's it's
Speaker 1: unbelievably informative because first you hear Johnston repeatedly have to
Speaker 1: call on the chief to come up, and then you
Speaker 1: watch the chiefs sort of reluctantly drag himself up there.
Speaker 1: He wanted no part of that, he wanted no part
Speaker 1: of that, and then Johnston insists he comes up, and
Speaker 1: then the guy who's doing the signing, and God love him.
Speaker 1: I don't fault the guy who's doing the signing, you know,
Speaker 1: because that's that's like his big moment, right, he's on
Speaker 1: camera and everything else, and it's clear that he's got
Speaker 1: this big smile on his face and he's doing all this.
Speaker 1: The whole thing was bizarre. The whole thing was absolutely bizarre.
Speaker 1: And then finally some sanity introduced into the event when
Speaker 1: this guy walks by and he just starts yelling at
Speaker 1: Johnston and you have bleeped this right, extensive law man.
Speaker 2: You must have carpel tunnel for leaping this right.
Speaker 4: I saw you in the Great Tower, Mayor. This is
Speaker 4: your fault, Prime woman.
Speaker 2: Democrats are burning the city down.
Speaker 5: Short talk city.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I've read today you couldn't see it
Speaker 1: on camera that he was the administration did have moved
Speaker 1: out by police. And so this brings us to you
Speaker 1: talk about crime loving democrats burning the city down. We
Speaker 1: see it in so many different forms, right, And here's
Speaker 1: another one. This absolute madness of the needle exchange programs.
Speaker 1: I mean, why don't you just take full page ads
Speaker 1: out everywhere in the country and plaster social media with
Speaker 1: the big ad blitz saying all drug addicts please come
Speaker 1: to Denver. Please come to Denver and listen. I have
Speaker 1: great compassion for people or addicts. Any of us could
Speaker 1: become an addict at any minute if we exposed ourselves
Speaker 1: to that stuff. You know, these chemical dependencies are very sad,
Speaker 1: and when people share needles and terrible things happen, that's
Speaker 1: very sad. But the answer isn't to undermine the community.
Speaker 2: As a whole.
Speaker 1: The answer is to get people who have addictions help
Speaker 1: so they don't have addictions anymore. The answer is not
Speaker 1: to encourage and facilitate and green light it and to
Speaker 1: track more people with addictions to Denver.
Speaker 2: But that is what they have done.
Speaker 1: And now now these these crazy lefty democrats in Denver
Speaker 1: want to expand it.
Speaker 2: Here's the KUSA store right now.
Speaker 5: Denver City Council is still discussing whether to increase access
Speaker 5: for needle exchange programs in the city. City councils considering
Speaker 5: lifting the limit on how many providers can operate and
Speaker 5: getting rid of a ban on needle exchanges less than
Speaker 5: a thousand feet from.
Speaker 2: A school or daycare.
Speaker 5: Our Angela McCall's been listening in on this debate which
Speaker 5: continues Angeline.
Speaker 6: While this has been a topic that's divided council and
Speaker 6: one the mayor has expressed his own hesitancy about. Right now,
Speaker 6: Denver has three needle exchange programs. One of them is mobile,
Speaker 6: two fixed locations where people can swap out dirty syringes
Speaker 6: for clean ones. One of those service providers needs to
Speaker 6: move and they say they can't find a new location
Speaker 6: due to the restrictions that have been in place in
Speaker 6: large parts, due to that one thousand requirement from being
Speaker 6: from a school or daycare. The sponsors of the bill
Speaker 6: say overdose deaths have doubled since the pandemic, when they
Speaker 6: were already high. They have data that suggests seven thousand
Speaker 6: people each month use these needle exchange sites.
Speaker 2: And we'll get to the rest of this after a break.
Speaker 1: You know why overdose deaths are going up because the
Speaker 1: Democrats are encouraging drug use in many, many different ways.
Speaker 1: You've just green lighted drug use, and somebody has a
Speaker 1: call to call marijuana a soft drug, give me a break,
Speaker 1: even the old marijuana. But you look at the potency
Speaker 1: levels of the new stuff. You know, the left in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Democrats in Colorado have done just about everything imaginable to
Speaker 1: encourage more drug use. That's why overdose deaths are going up.
Speaker 1: Yet they want to further encourage more drug use. What
Speaker 1: do you think the real endgame is here?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Because any moron can see that these needle exchange programs
Speaker 1: are going to further drug use and they're going to
Speaker 1: attract more addicts to Colorado. So why does the left
Speaker 1: want to do that? You tell me when we come
Speaker 1: back from this break. You can text as well. Da
Speaker 1: N five seven seven three nine. Why does the left
Speaker 1: want to do this? Why does it want more drug
Speaker 1: use in Colorado? Why does it want to attract more
Speaker 1: drug users to Colorado? Why does it want a green
Speaker 1: light and try to normalize this drug use? But we
Speaker 1: know this is right, bottom line, very bad for the community.
Speaker 1: But guess what, you can't stop it because Democrats control Denver.
Speaker 1: When do you think that will change? I've got a theory.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 7: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can be sure this.
Speaker 1: Somebody in that administration in Denver knew there was a
Speaker 1: serial killer loose on the mall, and every reasona believe
Speaker 1: he was going to keep killing. Somebody made that decision
Speaker 1: not to tell you, not to tell the public. I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about some little statement. I'm talking about making
Speaker 1: sure people are warned. If you go down on that mall,
Speaker 1: if you go down on that mall, you got to
Speaker 1: know there's a serial killer may very well be down
Speaker 1: there looking for a victim right now.
Speaker 2: Because they knew this.
Speaker 1: They knew this, you could have police walled wall down
Speaker 1: the mall, and unless you had warned people, then everybody
Speaker 1: was in danger. Because the very best police force in
Speaker 1: the world, and we have so many great officers in Denver,
Speaker 1: so many great officers in Denver.
Speaker 2: You can't stop You can't stop.
Speaker 1: A serial killer like this one who they know had
Speaker 1: just cut the throat of a flight attendant on the mall,
Speaker 1: and it stabbed two others all within an hour, meaning
Speaker 1: to kill all three. You knew a few things for sure.
Speaker 1: You can't stop them. You can a police everywhere in
Speaker 1: somebody that determined to kill that psycho. All they have
Speaker 1: to do they walk down the mall. They could be
Speaker 1: walking right next to two police officers and they just
Speaker 1: pull out that knife and they stab that victim in
Speaker 1: front of them. So the only way This is the point, right,
Speaker 1: they knew this. The Denver administration knew this. The only
Speaker 1: way to protect the people is to warn them so
Speaker 1: they don't go there, or they make a choice whether
Speaker 1: to go there or not. But somebody in that Denver
Speaker 1: administration made the decision not to warn the people, and
Speaker 1: that is completely obscene and unforgivable.
Speaker 2: And you know why they did it too.
Speaker 1: Right, But we're going to do everything in our power
Speaker 1: under the law to get to the bottom of who
Speaker 1: made that decision. Now, you have to believe the mayor
Speaker 1: was told. Right, you have a serial killer loose on
Speaker 1: the mall's just cut the throat of an out of
Speaker 1: state flight attendant, shopping on the mall and a layover,
Speaker 1: and you don't think they're going to tell the mayor.
Speaker 2: Well, if the mayor.
Speaker 1: Did know, then it was his responsibility to warn the
Speaker 1: people or give the order to warn the people.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: He's not camera shy.
Speaker 1: He proved that last night when he did his obscene
Speaker 1: victory lap with the blood barely cleaned up.
Speaker 2: So we're going to do everything we can under the
Speaker 2: law to get to the bottom.
Speaker 1: Of what the mayor knew, when he knew it, and
Speaker 1: who made that decision not to tell the people. Now,
Speaker 1: if the mayor knew, well, then doesn't it seem logical
Speaker 1: that he made the decision not to tell the people
Speaker 1: because he's the mayor and once he knows, he has
Speaker 1: the power to tell the people or order somebody to. Now,
Speaker 1: this is a disqualifier. Nobody should hold any job, any
Speaker 1: public responsibility whatsoever if they were involved in the decision
Speaker 1: not to warn the people, because the only way to
Speaker 1: protect the people was to warn the people. And then
Speaker 1: we're talking about other craziness in Denver, which affects the
Speaker 1: whole state, right because when you put out a sign
Speaker 1: saying drug users please come to Denver.
Speaker 2: Whose song was that, Ryan, Please come to Denver for
Speaker 2: the springtime?
Speaker 1: When you put out that sign drug users please come
Speaker 1: to Denver, it endangers everybody. But that's what they have done.
Speaker 1: And now they want to expand the needle exchange program.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mead, Colorado. We'll talk to Tom. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 8: Welcome Tom, Hi Dan, how are you.
Speaker 2: I'm living the dream, my friend? Thank you? Not on
Speaker 2: them all right?
Speaker 8: Okay, So here's the thing with the needle exchange deal.
Speaker 8: I do think the homeless crisis in Denver is part
Speaker 8: of a very large grift. They could edit if they
Speaker 8: wanted to, But they want to promote more drug use,
Speaker 8: to promote more homelessness. And I'd like to get your
Speaker 8: taken that am I wrong on this? I mean, who's
Speaker 8: making money on this? Because somebody is well, you're.
Speaker 1: Right, but I respectfully disagree. I think the motivation and
Speaker 1: there is a clear perverse motivation on the part of
Speaker 1: the elected left to promote more drug use.
Speaker 2: But that's because the more drug.
Speaker 1: Users you have, the more people you have dependent on government,
Speaker 1: which means the more votes for the left.
Speaker 2: That's their motivation in my humble opinion.
Speaker 8: Well, I think we do agree on that. But I
Speaker 8: mean it's just like, uh, you know, you got you know,
Speaker 8: you subsidize something, you get more of it.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, listen, there's no doubt you're right. We've talked
Speaker 1: about it on the show Tom. Obviously, the left is
Speaker 1: motivated to attract more homeless to Denver, and they've done
Speaker 1: so many different things, starting with the most obvious, right,
Speaker 1: which is Johnston on his inauguration day saying, come to Denver,
Speaker 1: we will get you a home. You can't be any
Speaker 1: more blatant th neck. So you are right, they want
Speaker 1: to attract more homeless to Denver.
Speaker 8: Right exactly. And that's and you know, you throw in
Speaker 8: the very lax drug lads, and you get even more
Speaker 8: subsidize it, you get more. So I'm just kind of
Speaker 8: curious who's benefiting from this because it's not us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, right, it completely.
Speaker 1: It so undermines just the people of the state, you know,
Speaker 1: both part these all parties, no parties at all. It
Speaker 1: undermines the rest of the state to be attracting more
Speaker 1: homeless to Colorado. And listen, any of us could be
Speaker 1: that homeless person. So I'm not sitting here judging, criticizing,
Speaker 1: viewing as less or any homeless person, because everybody has
Speaker 1: a story and whether and you know the drill, right,
Speaker 1: whether it's drugs, alcohol, mental illness, a combination, yeah, you have.
Speaker 1: Because the left is encouraging that too. You have a
Speaker 1: new wave of folks who just want to live on
Speaker 1: the street. But I think that's a relatively small percentage.
Speaker 1: So those are all very sad stories and they could
Speaker 1: all be us. But the answer is not to encourage
Speaker 1: more of it, not to were house them in taxpayer
Speaker 1: funded hotels. The answer is not to undermine the quality
Speaker 1: of life and to a certain extent, safety of everybody
Speaker 1: else in society.
Speaker 2: That's not the answer.
Speaker 1: You've just got a Democratic party controlled by the left,
Speaker 1: which clearly their game plan is for survival and thrival.
Speaker 2: New word, please copyright it.
Speaker 1: Their game plan is open borders, let everybody flow in
Speaker 1: from everywhere in the world, because we're betting they're going
Speaker 1: to be Democrat voters, most of them, and attract the
Speaker 1: homeless to Denver in large numbers because eventually, you know
Speaker 1: a certain number of them, they're going to get registered
Speaker 1: to vote, and they're going to vote for us because
Speaker 1: they're going to be dependent on government. That's their plan
Speaker 1: to win. It's not serving the interest of the people.
Speaker 1: That is their plan to win in Colorado, and so
Speaker 1: far they've been getting.
Speaker 2: Away with it. What does that tell you?
Speaker 1: Eight five to five or zero five A two five
Speaker 1: five texters Dan how to clean needles prevent overdoses. Seems
Speaker 1: to me it would encourage more usage because now they
Speaker 1: don't have to look around to find a needle. It
Speaker 1: obviously encourages more uses. It normalizes this hard drug use.
Speaker 1: But marijuana has become a hard drug, look at the
Speaker 1: potency and it always was really so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they want to do.
Speaker 1: Judge their intent by their actions, right, that's what they
Speaker 1: want to do. As I always tell Jerry's, you know,
Speaker 1: don't expect them to get up on the stand and
Speaker 1: break down, crying and admit it. This ain't Perry though
Speaker 1: I have had those moments. It is judged their intentions
Speaker 1: by their actions.
Speaker 9: As the son of an alcoholic, Dan, would you go
Speaker 9: up to an alcohol because they hear here's a free shot,
Speaker 9: Take a shot. I don't understand this mentality of we're
Speaker 9: just going to enable their addiction. Give them free clean needles. Hey,
Speaker 9: at least they're clean, get them help. Well, you all
Speaker 9: just want to clarify the record.
Speaker 1: I'm not the son of an alcoholic, but but they
Speaker 1: don't care about those people, Ryan right, right, right, And.
Speaker 9: I am the son of an alcoholic Dan right, No,
Speaker 9: And I know that really infers me and a lot
Speaker 9: of people in our audience who have family members who
Speaker 9: are addicts don't want those addictions enable.
Speaker 1: The point is they don't care about the addicts. They
Speaker 1: don't care about these people. They don't care about the
Speaker 1: weekend defenses. They don't care about anybody except themselves. They
Speaker 1: don't care about individual human lives. It's just a completely
Speaker 1: different worldview than a guy like you, Ryan, and so
Speaker 1: many people listening who see the inherent value and dignity
Speaker 1: in each human life, they don't view They view most
Speaker 1: human lives as and acceptable casualty.
Speaker 2: Rate. You're on the Dan Kaplas.
Speaker 7: Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Good pull combination of Seeger and that message, because you know,
Speaker 1: no matter where you are in Colorado, but you are
Speaker 1: endangered by what's going on in Denvert right now. When
Speaker 1: you've got the left actively trying to recruit more drug
Speaker 1: users to Colorado, that affects everybody, and you've got to start.
Speaker 1: You've got to start with these poor souls who are addicted.
Speaker 1: Right It could be any of us. It could be
Speaker 1: any of us, It could be anybody.
Speaker 4: We know.
Speaker 1: It's a great sadness, but that sadness shouldn't lead us
Speaker 1: to make mistakes that are at least as likely to
Speaker 1: end up harming those poor souls and certainly undermine the community.
Speaker 1: Think about what the left is trying to do right now.
Speaker 1: They're not only trying to add more of these needle
Speaker 1: exchange locations when they should be get rid of all
Speaker 1: of them. They're trying to change the laws. We can
Speaker 1: have them right next to schools and daycares. Schools and daycares.
Speaker 1: What does that tell you? And Ryan, let's pull the sound.
Speaker 1: We had sound ready to go a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the person had an unusual name, but
Speaker 1: it was some leader in Denver saying, no kids need
Speaker 1: to see people using drugs. I'm not making this up.
Speaker 1: We'll find that sound. But that's what's going on in
Speaker 1: Denver right now. That's on the heels of my personal
Speaker 1: belief and I'm doing everything I can to use the
Speaker 1: law to gather the facts to prove what I believe
Speaker 1: to be true. Is that somebody in Denver, at a
Speaker 1: very high level, made the decision not to warn the
Speaker 1: public that there was a serial killer loose on the
Speaker 1: mall who may very well kill again. And they knew that.
Speaker 1: They knew that at the latest early Saturday evening in Denver.
Speaker 1: So what did the mayor know and when did he
Speaker 1: know it? Because at that point, obviously it was his
Speaker 1: responsibility to warn everybody or give the order, because you know,
Speaker 1: from a public safety standpoint, the the only way to
Speaker 1: protect people is to warn them, because when you've got
Speaker 1: a psycho serial killer, they're not going to be deterred
Speaker 1: by police.
Speaker 2: They're a psycho.
Speaker 1: Serial killer, and the only way to protect people is
Speaker 1: to warn them so they can make the decision whether
Speaker 1: or not to go downtown Denver. And then again, totally predictable,
Speaker 1: totally expected the serial killer kills again, and obviously they
Speaker 1: already knew from the mo he was highly likely to
Speaker 1: kill again. But it's also very clear he intended to
Speaker 1: get caught.
Speaker 2: So the only way.
Speaker 1: That you can protect the public is to warn them
Speaker 1: before he kills again. So what did the mayor know
Speaker 1: and why didn't he warn the public? Who made the
Speaker 1: decision not to warn the public. So we're going to
Speaker 1: continue to dig on that. On a far less serious
Speaker 1: but still very important note, Coach Prime, as I said
Speaker 1: when we were first on this show, at least in Colorado,
Speaker 1: to call for Coach Prime to come to Colorado to
Speaker 1: Coach as I said.
Speaker 2: The day he arrived, that he's so good.
Speaker 1: We know that he will leave at some point, and
Speaker 1: we just got to be grateful for every day we
Speaker 1: have with him.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: It's not some deaty or anything.
Speaker 1: He's just been a tremendously powerful force for good in
Speaker 1: Colorado and that time could be now right, it could
Speaker 1: be to the Dallas Cowboys. If I'm betting you Ryan,
Speaker 1: if I am betting you the Family Truckster, I bet
Speaker 1: that he stays, and that these communications with Terry Jones
Speaker 1: right now with your national.
Speaker 2: News s I just put out a piece a.
Speaker 1: Few minutes ago saying it's very real possibility he'll be
Speaker 1: leaving for Dallas. If I'm betting the Family Truckster, I
Speaker 1: bet that he stays and that these conversations are intended
Speaker 1: to help secure a big, long term deal in Boulder.
Speaker 1: Could be yeah, which doesn't mean he's going to stay forever.
Speaker 7: But there's two things.
Speaker 9: And I'm not deon sanders personal confident on or anything,
Speaker 9: but just as a long time sports fan and member
Speaker 9: of sports media, there's two things that should keep on
Speaker 9: Sanders here. One, he is king of the Castle and Boulder.
Speaker 9: He'll never be run out of town. He owns it.
Speaker 9: And secondly, I think by virtue of like you said,
Speaker 9: this negotiation, he can set himself up for whatever he
Speaker 9: wants down the road and you have to be careful
Speaker 9: with somebody like Jerry Jones. I don't think there's enough
Speaker 9: room in that building at and T Stadium for the
Speaker 9: two egos that are Jerry Jones and Dion Sanders. It'll
Speaker 9: be very similar to when Jimmy Johnson was there. They
Speaker 9: were successful at first, but Jerry ended up running him off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was a young man then. And here's
Speaker 2: my point.
Speaker 1: And then we'll get back to the nonsports stuff and
Speaker 1: we'll save sports for our commercial breaks.
Speaker 2: But here's the point.
Speaker 1: Jones was much younger then, right, He's much older now,
Speaker 1: and I think he really wants another trophy before he
Speaker 1: goes to the Great Gridiron in the sky. And so
Speaker 1: now I think I think he realizes we had this
Speaker 1: problem in Denver, Right, we had this problem in Denver
Speaker 1: when Elway was GM. And I admire John Elway tremendously
Speaker 1: for everything he's done for the community on a charitable
Speaker 1: level and as a quarterback. But because of on Elway's
Speaker 1: ego in Denver, we were always going to have milk
Speaker 1: toast coaches because no big personality, big ego, big figure
Speaker 1: head coach like most top coaches was going to come
Speaker 1: to Denver and be second fiddle to John Elway. John
Speaker 1: Elway was always going to be the face of the Broncos.
Speaker 1: So we had the John Foxes of the world, right
Speaker 1: And so that's the way it's been in Dallas. But
Speaker 1: now Jerry Jones, I think Ryan I don't know him,
Speaker 1: but he may be at the point where he's willing
Speaker 1: to back off a little bit to get another trophy.
Speaker 7: Said that before.
Speaker 9: I don't think he can help himself the minute beyond
Speaker 9: the minute Dion had, you know, an issue, a roadblock,
Speaker 9: a losing streak, Jerry Jones would have to say something
Speaker 9: he couldn't contain himself, and that would get I think
Speaker 9: on a guy like Deon Sanders, with his gravitas, with
Speaker 9: his skill, he'd get.
Speaker 7: On his nerves.
Speaker 1: No, but you understand you're bringing in the face of
Speaker 1: the franchise. It's no longer going to be Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1: It's going to be Deon Sanders. You only do that
Speaker 1: if you view him as your best chance to win.
Speaker 1: Would be wise to view him as your best chance
Speaker 1: to reinvigorate the fan base to be America's team again,
Speaker 1: Colorado's America's college football.
Speaker 2: Team now because of Dion said, You're exactly right.
Speaker 9: All I'm going to point to is history and look
Speaker 9: at every head coaching hire by Jerry Jones in Dallas
Speaker 9: since Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 7: They've all been subservient to him.
Speaker 9: Barry's what's happened, Jason Garrett, I know they Well, they's.
Speaker 2: A choice, right, and I think his choices. He wants
Speaker 2: to win, I hope, and I.
Speaker 1: Predict with rose colored classes, Prime's choice will be to
Speaker 1: stay in Boulder.
Speaker 2: He's gonna made again.
Speaker 7: He's got it made here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does, he does.
Speaker 1: And I think this conversation may be it's beneficial to both, right,
Speaker 1: because it helps generate interest in the Cowboys and get
Speaker 1: people excited about the cowboys at a time there's no
Speaker 1: other reason to be excited about the Cowboys. But it
Speaker 1: probably helps Land Dion because listen, see you right now
Speaker 1: is probably after a lot of deep pocket donors to
Speaker 1: come up with the money to get d on what
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million over ten years or something
Speaker 1: like that, and.
Speaker 2: This will help get that money. Dan.
Speaker 1: One thing for sure, says a Texter, is that the
Speaker 1: mayor's wife wasn't hanging around the mall at the time.
Speaker 1: The serial killer was present. This goes to a point
Speaker 1: I made earlier.
Speaker 2: You can be.
Speaker 1: Darnshure, darnshure that if if the mayor anybody in command
Speaker 1: in Denver knew that their loved one was thinking of
Speaker 1: going to the mall, that they were worned not to
Speaker 1: because the mayor had to know. Right maybe he was
Speaker 1: out of the loop, which would be even worse. But
Speaker 1: Denver administration, somebody knew by six thirty Saturday night they
Speaker 1: had a psycho serial killer on the loose on the
Speaker 1: mall because he meant to kill all three. It's like
Speaker 1: if you shoot three people on the mall, you mean
Speaker 1: to kill all three, and he'd slit the throat of
Speaker 1: the flight attendant. So I don't mean to personalize this
Speaker 1: in a family sense for the mayor, but this is
Speaker 1: one of the few occasions when there's a practical, concrete
Speaker 1: point to be made. Be sure that nobody in the
Speaker 1: know was letting any family member go to the mall
Speaker 1: because there was every reason to believe that that psycho
Speaker 1: serial killer was going to kill again on the mall.
Speaker 1: Uh Dan, Enough of the ed drug ads. Please explaining
Speaker 1: those to my kids during prime hours is sick.
Speaker 2: Get rid of? Do we have those?
Speaker 1: Ryan, I don't get to listen to the commercial breaks,
Speaker 1: the ED drug ads.
Speaker 2: I don't know what ED means. But do you know
Speaker 2: do we have such ads?
Speaker 9: I think maybe on our own station we do for Denver,
Speaker 9: for Denver, Okay, yeah, listen where?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I believe me.
Speaker 1: I completely understand the concern because especially when, like Joe
Speaker 1: was young and we've sitting there any ballgame, we're watching
Speaker 1: those ads come on. I remember the first time he
Speaker 1: turned to me and he said, I wish I could
Speaker 1: do the voice because he's twenty seven. Now, Dad, what's
Speaker 1: what's viagra? And said, I don't know, Son, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's the only good answer there now.
Speaker 6: Literally, Trevor asked us, why is that guy throwing a
Speaker 6: football through a hoof?
Speaker 2: Not the whole thing? Dan?
Speaker 1: Why is it called a needle exchange program when in
Speaker 1: fact drug addict is not required to exchange an old
Speaker 1: needle for a new needle.
Speaker 2: Andy, Because they don't want.
Speaker 1: To call it a drug users, please come to Colorado program. Right,
Speaker 1: they don't want to call it a drug use encouragement program.
Speaker 1: And I understand you've got some people in the program.
Speaker 1: We're well intentioned and they want to make sure addicts
Speaker 1: don't infect others get infected, et cetera. But even if
Speaker 1: somebody's well intentioned involved in this, I think there's a
Speaker 1: broader purpose on the left and they don't. The broader left,
Speaker 1: the political left doesn't care about these drug users at all.
Speaker 1: They're using them like they use everybody else. But one
Speaker 1: thing they all know right is it has the impact
Speaker 1: of encouraging drug use, promoting drug use, and attracting drug
Speaker 1: use to Colorado. No honest person can deny that effect.
Speaker 1: Eight five zero five two five five will come back.
Speaker 1: Text are exploding right now and they should be here
Speaker 1: on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 7: And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's shining today.
Speaker 3: The focus comes not from the uniform ranked senator from
Speaker 3: the political class. On day one on January twentieth, when
Speaker 3: President Trump is sworn in, he will issue a new
Speaker 3: set of lawful orders, and the leadership of our services
Speaker 3: will have an opportunity to follow those lawful orders or not.
Speaker 3: Those lawful orders will not be based on politics. They
Speaker 3: will be based on readiness, accountability, standards, and lethality. That
Speaker 3: is the process by which leaders will be judged and
Speaker 3: accountability is coming. Because everybody in this room knows. If
Speaker 3: you're a rifleman and you lose your rifle, they're throwing
Speaker 3: the book at you. But if you're a general who
Speaker 3: loses a war or you get a.
Speaker 1: Promotion, great point great communicator, and a great communicator has
Speaker 1: a better chance to be a great leader. So I'd
Speaker 1: predicted all along access would be confirmed. Now I believe he's
Speaker 1: not only going to be confirmed, he's going to hit
Speaker 1: the ground running with a lot of momentum and a
Speaker 1: chance to really be great in the job.
Speaker 2: Glad you're with us. We're talking about the one of.
Speaker 1: The biggest scandals in Denver history, which is that somebody
Speaker 1: made the decision not to warn the public there was
Speaker 1: a serial killer loose on the mall, knowing that decision
Speaker 1: not to give the people what they deserved and had
Speaker 1: a right to this warning. This information could very well
Speaker 1: lead to somebody being killed. Probably would lead to somebody
Speaker 1: being killed, But they made that decision. Anyway, Who made
Speaker 1: that decision? What did the mayor know? When did he
Speaker 1: know it? And we're doing everything we can within the law,
Speaker 1: within the power of the law gives us to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of that, because that should be a
Speaker 1: disqualifier for any office. If it's the mayor, as I suspect,
Speaker 1: I can't prove it, but as I suspect it was
Speaker 1: at that point, he shouldn't be allowed to continue a
Speaker 1: single additional day in office. There can be no greater
Speaker 1: scandal for a mayor of Denver than to know that
Speaker 1: there's a serial killer loose in a very specific area
Speaker 1: and make a decision not to warn the public. Right
Speaker 1: you think if one of his family members was going
Speaker 1: to the mall, they would have been warned.
Speaker 2: So let's follow the facts see where they lead.
Speaker 1: But can somebody give me a scenario where the mayor
Speaker 1: would not have been informed? Maybe he wasn't, which would
Speaker 1: be even worse. Right, would speak so poorly of him
Speaker 1: and end of the entire chain of command. But is
Speaker 1: it even imaginable that he wasn't informed. If he wasn't,
Speaker 1: we need to know that too. If he wasn't informed,
Speaker 1: somebody else made the decision not to warn the public.
Speaker 1: That person should not be in a position of public
Speaker 1: responsibility as I go to the phone lines, Because here's
Speaker 1: the undernoabl truth. The only way to protect the public
Speaker 1: was to warn him. You could put every one of
Speaker 1: Denver's finest in they are great men and women in blue.
Speaker 1: You could put every one of them on the mall,
Speaker 1: and you could not protect the unknowing members of the public,
Speaker 1: unknowing that there's a serial killer loose targeting them all.
Speaker 1: You couldn't protect him because by definition, a psycho serial
Speaker 1: killer isn't worried about being caught, as this one clearly was,
Speaker 1: and he wanted to be caught. They caught him because
Speaker 1: he was running down the mall with the big butcher
Speaker 1: knife after killing somebody else, after somebody in the administration
Speaker 1: decided not to warn the public. That is one of
Speaker 1: the worst scandals in Denver history. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: phone lines. We'll go to Joe in Arvada. You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 4: Welcome, Hey, Dan, Yeah, yeah, I couldn't agree more on
Speaker 4: this Denver thing. But also, hey, thanks for your praise
Speaker 4: for Pete. Hegsas as a as a former marine, well
Speaker 4: once a marina. O. H. I mean, he's just he
Speaker 4: is such the best choice, such the best choice. But anyway,
Speaker 4: the reason I called, I'm sure your call Springer told you.
Speaker 4: I thought you know, clothes show up with some levity.
Speaker 4: So you were talking about ED ED, right, I was dysfunction.
Speaker 1: Well, what what do you got for us?
Speaker 4: Okay? So this is Easter at the church, right, And
Speaker 4: you go to the church, and you know many churches
Speaker 4: the one I go to as all the little kids
Speaker 4: come to the front, and you know, the preacher or
Speaker 4: priest talks to him and so he's asking these little
Speaker 4: boys and girls what they know about their resurrection. And
Speaker 4: a little boy raises his hand. But this is wholesome, ame.
Speaker 2: Okay, I could tell.
Speaker 4: Little boy raises his hand and he says, I'm sorry
Speaker 4: for a resurrection lasting more than four hours. You should
Speaker 4: call your doctor.
Speaker 7: Joe.
Speaker 1: I'd say, appreciate the call, but I'm not sure i'd
Speaker 1: mean it. No, thank you, Joe, appreciate the call.
Speaker 7: That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this all springs off a texture earlier who
Speaker 1: was upset that apparently the worst some ED spots in
Speaker 1: the prior break. So, and believe me, I told him,
Speaker 1: as having been the parent of young kids at one time,
Speaker 1: I share his concern.
Speaker 2: Dan says a text.
Speaker 1: How about holding the police departments responsible for not towing
Speaker 1: and writing for unregistered and expired tags. Obviously, you don't
Speaker 1: blame the men and women on the street for that.
Speaker 1: Those decisions are made at the political level.
Speaker 2: You can be.
Speaker 1: Sure dan On behalf of the tens of millions that
Speaker 1: will be watching the inauguration. It's only feelings of joy
Speaker 1: and relief that we don't have to see. Oh and
Speaker 1: then it goes on to some choice words about Michelle Obama. Listen,
Speaker 1: the fact that she's chosen to skip the inauguration is
Speaker 1: a very good thing. It is a very good thing
Speaker 1: because it is the ultimate ultimate victory over the left right,
Speaker 1: and you know, and she epitomizes the left, though she
Speaker 1: tried to present a different front, and so it is
Speaker 1: an ultimate victory over the left when she won't even appear,
Speaker 1: and it hurts her, which is a good thing because
Speaker 1: she is the best the left has in terms of
Speaker 1: a candidate, So it hurts her for any future race.
Speaker 7: With her gone. Do you think the bromance between Barack
Speaker 7: Obama and Donald.
Speaker 1: Trumpkins that is a great point, And I hope it
Speaker 1: does because it's good for the country. That video was
Speaker 1: very good for the country. Apologies to everybody who didn't
Speaker 1: get through. You can call us tomorrow. And we promised
Speaker 1: to start the show with you Texters as well. I'll
Speaker 1: try to get in some of these evergreen texts tomorrow
Speaker 1: as well. No, you're right, Ryan, that video Barack Obama
Speaker 1: and President Trump laughing together, talking, sitting very closely. That's
Speaker 1: good for the country. So you're right, better chance we
Speaker 1: see that at the inauguration.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ryan, Thank you. Kelly. Join us tomorrow please
Speaker 2: on the Dan Keplish
