WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520 This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.759 edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to 3 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.240 give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind, 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599 and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.240 single day on your favorite podcast platform. 6 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:16.719 A lot of fighting left to do. 7 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.280 Hey, let the celebration continue though, because of the big 8 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.800 victory one obviously, Yeah, the inauguration coming up on Monday. 9 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.760 But Trump already improving America in the world in so 10 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.199 many concrete ways, and we'll have the. 11 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:30.640 Latest of those today. 12 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.640 And I have shifted from predicting that Pete Hegseth is 13 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:39.399 going to get confirmed to predicting that Pete Hegseth is 14 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.479 going to go into office with great momentum. Not only 15 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.560 will he be confirmed, he's going into office with great momentum, 16 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.799 and I think he's going to be a great change agent. 17 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.759 Really shined in a lot of ways that the hearing today. 18 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.960 I can watch a wire to wire busy getting ready 19 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.320 for a trial. But the video that I've seen, both 20 00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:01.240 the pro and con sponsored video, I think he's done 21 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:02.759 really well, including this. 22 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.920 The wokness comes not from the uniform ranked senator, from 23 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.159 the political class on day one on January twentieth, when 24 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.439 President Trump is sworn in, he. 25 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.280 Will issue a new set of lawful orders, and. 26 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.719 The leadership of our services will have an opportunity to 27 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.040 follow those lawful orders or not. Those lawful orders will 28 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.040 not be based on politics. They will be based on readiness, accountability, standards, 29 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.280 and lethality. That is the process by which leaders will 30 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.239 be judged. And accountability is coming, because everybody in this 31 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:33.920 room knows. 32 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.680 If you're a rifleman and you lose. 33 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:41.120 Your rifle, they're throwing the book at you. But if 34 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.760 you're a general who loses a war, you get a promotion. 35 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.239 See that is perfect, and that's inspiring. That helps America. 36 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.319 And here's the point that when you have the skill 37 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.120 set he has first he had in the military, right, 38 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.040 he walk the talk. But then you know his on 39 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.200 air stuff which the left tries to use against him. 40 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.879 All Wait a second, not all, but many of the 41 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.239 great figures in history have accomplished tremendous things for the 42 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.400 free world are people with superior communication skills. 43 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.120 He has those. That's important. 44 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.879 That was on display today and that went a long 45 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:20.840 way towards short circuiting. You know, his hysterical opposition eight 46 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.800 five five for zero five two five to five the 47 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.800 number text d an five seven seven three nine. 48 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:26.639 But so much. 49 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.280 Locally that we need to talk about, right, because we 50 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:34.080 have this horrific situation where we had a serial killer, 51 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.919 a serial mass killer loose on the mall. The fact 52 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.879 that two of us three stabbing victims survived on Saturday 53 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:41.960 doesn't change the fact he meant to kill all of them, 54 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.400 and he grotesquely, gruesomely slit the throat of a flight 55 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.360 attendant so by at the latest, early Saturday night, the 56 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.639 City of Denver officials they knew they had a mass killer, 57 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.680 a serial mass killer loose who was targeting them all. 58 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.680 Somebody in my count seriously protected opinion. But it's not 59 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.919 a stretch, right, somebody made the decision not to warn 60 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.919 the public about that. I'm not saying they didn't issue 61 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.800 some kind of statement. I'm telling listen, you want to 62 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.080 warn the public, say their own sons and daughters, mothers 63 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.800 and fathers, uncles and aunts, we're going to be down 64 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.960 on the mall. You think they would have settled for 65 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.520 some little tweet they send out or some little statement. No, 66 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.039 it would have been a five line far get your 67 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.439 ass off the mall, don't go anywhere near there. We 68 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.479 got a serial killer loose on the wall. Any decent human, 69 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.159 any decent human, would have used every means of communication 70 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.639 possible to warn everybody, everybody in America, but certainly everybody 71 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.919 in Colorado. We have a serial killer loose on the mall. 72 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.000 But they didn't. And why didn't they? You know why 73 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.639 they didn't. But it's unforgivable, it's inexcusable, and it's a 74 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.439 disqualifier for whatever position they hold. And if the mayor 75 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.520 did not know, if he's that out of the loop, 76 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.159 he shouldn't be mayor. If he did know, and then. 77 00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.680 He decided not to warn the public, he not. 78 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.439 Only should be mayor, he should just he shouldn't be 79 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.639 in any position anywhere. 80 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.719 So we need the truth here. And what did we 81 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.520 get yesterday? 82 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.280 We got a grotesque, perverse, obscene victory lap taken by 83 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.800 Mayor Mike Johnston down on the mall of all places, 84 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.279 after a few seconds of lip service to the victims, 85 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.040 he did what he'd come to do. He took a 86 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:27.399 victory lap because he obviously doesn't care about innocent victims, 87 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.680 or else he would have warned everybody, and you sure 88 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.879 wouldn't go to that spot, and how obscene, how disrespectful 89 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.639 to the victims and their families to go down to 90 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.040 the mall and then do a victory lap about how 91 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.920 great Denver is, you know, where the blood had probably 92 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.600 barely been cleaned up, you know, from the mass killer 93 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.399 targeting the mall. And so then we get one of 94 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.120 the instant classic moments in Denver history. And then we'll 95 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.759 get to the next way that they're making the Democrats 96 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.319 are making Denver and Colorado less safe. 97 00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.920 But we get one of these great moments. 98 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.199 Right because this twisted sister kind of move of going 99 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.759 down to the mall to declare victory after this carnage. 100 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.680 He's then doing this presser and if you go watch 101 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.560 the video, we'll get the whole video posted. It's it's 102 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:21.120 unbelievably informative because first you hear Johnston repeatedly have to 103 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.480 call on the chief to come up, and then you 104 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.639 watch the chiefs sort of reluctantly drag himself up there. 105 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.759 He wanted no part of that, he wanted no part 106 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.800 of that, and then Johnston insists he comes up, and 107 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.480 then the guy who's doing the signing, and God love him. 108 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.360 I don't fault the guy who's doing the signing, you know, 109 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.560 because that's that's like his big moment, right, he's on 110 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.240 camera and everything else, and it's clear that he's got 111 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.920 this big smile on his face and he's doing all this. 112 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.120 The whole thing was bizarre. The whole thing was absolutely bizarre. 113 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:58.680 And then finally some sanity introduced into the event when 114 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.839 this guy walks by and he just starts yelling at 115 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.319 Johnston and you have bleeped this right, extensive law man. 116 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.560 You must have carpel tunnel for leaping this right. 117 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.560 I saw you in the Great Tower, Mayor. This is 118 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.639 your fault, Prime woman. 119 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.680 Democrats are burning the city down. 120 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.240 Short talk city. 121 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.439 Yeah, and then I've read today you couldn't see it 122 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.879 on camera that he was the administration did have moved 123 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.519 out by police. And so this brings us to you 124 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.639 talk about crime loving democrats burning the city down. We 125 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.839 see it in so many different forms, right, And here's 126 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:47.160 another one. This absolute madness of the needle exchange programs. 127 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.160 I mean, why don't you just take full page ads 128 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.399 out everywhere in the country and plaster social media with 129 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.800 the big ad blitz saying all drug addicts please come 130 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.480 to Denver. Please come to Denver and listen. I have 131 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.000 great compassion for people or addicts. Any of us could 132 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.600 become an addict at any minute if we exposed ourselves 133 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.040 to that stuff. You know, these chemical dependencies are very sad, 134 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.319 and when people share needles and terrible things happen, that's 135 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:19.079 very sad. But the answer isn't to undermine the community. 136 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:18.959 As a whole. 137 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.480 The answer is to get people who have addictions help 138 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.639 so they don't have addictions anymore. The answer is not 139 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.680 to encourage and facilitate and green light it and to 140 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.959 track more people with addictions to Denver. 141 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.199 But that is what they have done. 142 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.839 And now now these these crazy lefty democrats in Denver 143 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:37.240 want to expand it. 144 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.879 Here's the KUSA store right now. 145 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.399 Denver City Council is still discussing whether to increase access 146 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.240 for needle exchange programs in the city. City councils considering 147 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.360 lifting the limit on how many providers can operate and 148 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.560 getting rid of a ban on needle exchanges less than 149 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:53.439 a thousand feet from. 150 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:54.240 A school or daycare. 151 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.519 Our Angela McCall's been listening in on this debate which 152 00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.319 continues Angeline. 153 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.600 While this has been a topic that's divided council and 154 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.920 one the mayor has expressed his own hesitancy about. Right now, 155 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.399 Denver has three needle exchange programs. One of them is mobile, 156 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.759 two fixed locations where people can swap out dirty syringes 157 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.519 for clean ones. One of those service providers needs to 158 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.519 move and they say they can't find a new location 159 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.879 due to the restrictions that have been in place in 160 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.279 large parts, due to that one thousand requirement from being 161 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.000 from a school or daycare. The sponsors of the bill 162 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.439 say overdose deaths have doubled since the pandemic, when they 163 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.639 were already high. They have data that suggests seven thousand 164 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.519 people each month use these needle exchange sites. 165 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:38.279 And we'll get to the rest of this after a break. 166 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.879 You know why overdose deaths are going up because the 167 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.000 Democrats are encouraging drug use in many, many different ways. 168 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.440 You've just green lighted drug use, and somebody has a 169 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.720 call to call marijuana a soft drug, give me a break, 170 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.720 even the old marijuana. But you look at the potency 171 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.639 levels of the new stuff. You know, the left in Colorado. 172 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:02.480 Democrats in Colorado have done just about everything imaginable to 173 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:08.559 encourage more drug use. That's why overdose deaths are going up. 174 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.799 Yet they want to further encourage more drug use. What 175 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.600 do you think the real endgame is here? 176 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:13.799 Right? 177 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.320 Because any moron can see that these needle exchange programs 178 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.559 are going to further drug use and they're going to 179 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.840 attract more addicts to Colorado. So why does the left 180 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.320 want to do that? You tell me when we come 181 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.360 back from this break. You can text as well. Da 182 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.840 N five seven seven three nine. Why does the left 183 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.399 want to do this? Why does it want more drug 184 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.240 use in Colorado? Why does it want to attract more 185 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.559 drug users to Colorado? Why does it want a green 186 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.399 light and try to normalize this drug use? But we 187 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.240 know this is right, bottom line, very bad for the community. 188 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.879 But guess what, you can't stop it because Democrats control Denver. 189 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.240 When do you think that will change? I've got a theory. 190 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:57.879 You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 191 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.080 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast. 192 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:09.519 Yeah, you can be sure this. 193 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:13.120 Somebody in that administration in Denver knew there was a 194 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.600 serial killer loose on the mall, and every reasona believe 195 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.399 he was going to keep killing. Somebody made that decision 196 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.120 not to tell you, not to tell the public. I'm 197 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.720 not talking about some little statement. I'm talking about making 198 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.840 sure people are warned. If you go down on that mall, 199 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.600 if you go down on that mall, you got to 200 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.720 know there's a serial killer may very well be down 201 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:32.000 there looking for a victim right now. 202 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.720 Because they knew this. 203 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.879 They knew this, you could have police walled wall down 204 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.559 the mall, and unless you had warned people, then everybody 205 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.559 was in danger. Because the very best police force in 206 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.799 the world, and we have so many great officers in Denver, 207 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.440 so many great officers in Denver. 208 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.840 You can't stop You can't stop. 209 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.519 A serial killer like this one who they know had 210 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.559 just cut the throat of a flight attendant on the mall, 211 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.200 and it stabbed two others all within an hour, meaning 212 00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.440 to kill all three. You knew a few things for sure. 213 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.879 You can't stop them. You can a police everywhere in 214 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.720 somebody that determined to kill that psycho. All they have 215 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.279 to do they walk down the mall. They could be 216 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.080 walking right next to two police officers and they just 217 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.080 pull out that knife and they stab that victim in 218 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.559 front of them. So the only way This is the point, right, 219 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.960 they knew this. The Denver administration knew this. The only 220 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.440 way to protect the people is to warn them so 221 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.759 they don't go there, or they make a choice whether 222 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.480 to go there or not. But somebody in that Denver 223 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.519 administration made the decision not to warn the people, and 224 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.000 that is completely obscene and unforgivable. 225 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.559 And you know why they did it too. 226 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.679 Right, But we're going to do everything in our power 227 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.399 under the law to get to the bottom of who 228 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.519 made that decision. Now, you have to believe the mayor 229 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.559 was told. Right, you have a serial killer loose on 230 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.240 the mall's just cut the throat of an out of 231 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.440 state flight attendant, shopping on the mall and a layover, 232 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:50.919 and you don't think they're going to tell the mayor. 233 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.279 Well, if the mayor. 234 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.519 Did know, then it was his responsibility to warn the 235 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.080 people or give the order to warn the people. 236 00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:58.279 Right. 237 00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.240 He's not camera shy. 238 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.480 He proved that last night when he did his obscene 239 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.639 victory lap with the blood barely cleaned up. 240 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.360 So we're going to do everything we can under the 241 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.840 law to get to the bottom. 242 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.679 Of what the mayor knew, when he knew it, and 243 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.799 who made that decision not to tell the people. Now, 244 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.519 if the mayor knew, well, then doesn't it seem logical 245 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.440 that he made the decision not to tell the people 246 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.879 because he's the mayor and once he knows, he has 247 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.159 the power to tell the people or order somebody to. Now, 248 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.480 this is a disqualifier. Nobody should hold any job, any 249 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.320 public responsibility whatsoever if they were involved in the decision 250 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.159 not to warn the people, because the only way to 251 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.039 protect the people was to warn the people. And then 252 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.799 we're talking about other craziness in Denver, which affects the 253 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.759 whole state, right because when you put out a sign 254 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.080 saying drug users please come to Denver. 255 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.720 Whose song was that, Ryan, Please come to Denver for 256 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:51.480 the springtime? 257 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.360 When you put out that sign drug users please come 258 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.360 to Denver, it endangers everybody. But that's what they have done. 259 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.840 And now they want to expand the needle exchange program. 260 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.360 Let's go to Mead, Colorado. We'll talk to Tom. You're 261 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.480 on the Dan Kaplis Show. 262 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.279 Welcome Tom, Hi Dan, how are you. 263 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.600 I'm living the dream, my friend? Thank you? Not on 264 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.840 them all right? 265 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.159 Okay, So here's the thing with the needle exchange deal. 266 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:22.240 I do think the homeless crisis in Denver is part 267 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.519 of a very large grift. They could edit if they 268 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:30.039 wanted to, But they want to promote more drug use, 269 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:35.000 to promote more homelessness. And I'd like to get your 270 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.039 taken that am I wrong on this? I mean, who's 271 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:42.320 making money on this? Because somebody is well, you're. 272 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.399 Right, but I respectfully disagree. I think the motivation and 273 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.000 there is a clear perverse motivation on the part of 274 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.840 the elected left to promote more drug use. 275 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.840 But that's because the more drug. 276 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.960 Users you have, the more people you have dependent on government, 277 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.679 which means the more votes for the left. 278 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.879 That's their motivation in my humble opinion. 279 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.279 Well, I think we do agree on that. But I 280 00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.519 mean it's just like, uh, you know, you got you know, 281 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.639 you subsidize something, you get more of it. 282 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.000 Right, Well, listen, there's no doubt you're right. We've talked 283 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.919 about it on the show Tom. Obviously, the left is 284 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.919 motivated to attract more homeless to Denver, and they've done 285 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:25.399 so many different things, starting with the most obvious, right, 286 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.480 which is Johnston on his inauguration day saying, come to Denver, 287 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.919 we will get you a home. You can't be any 288 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.879 more blatant th neck. So you are right, they want 289 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.080 to attract more homeless to Denver. 290 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.360 Right exactly. And that's and you know, you throw in 291 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.480 the very lax drug lads, and you get even more 292 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.399 subsidize it, you get more. So I'm just kind of 293 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.200 curious who's benefiting from this because it's not us. 294 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.159 Yeah, no, right, it completely. 295 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.320 It so undermines just the people of the state, you know, 296 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:01.759 both part these all parties, no parties at all. It 297 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.279 undermines the rest of the state to be attracting more 298 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.080 homeless to Colorado. And listen, any of us could be 299 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:12.399 that homeless person. So I'm not sitting here judging, criticizing, 300 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.399 viewing as less or any homeless person, because everybody has 301 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.799 a story and whether and you know the drill, right, 302 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.960 whether it's drugs, alcohol, mental illness, a combination, yeah, you have. 303 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.120 Because the left is encouraging that too. You have a 304 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.440 new wave of folks who just want to live on 305 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.200 the street. But I think that's a relatively small percentage. 306 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.000 So those are all very sad stories and they could 307 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:35.000 all be us. But the answer is not to encourage 308 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.000 more of it, not to were house them in taxpayer 309 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.879 funded hotels. The answer is not to undermine the quality 310 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.639 of life and to a certain extent, safety of everybody 311 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:45.559 else in society. 312 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.519 That's not the answer. 313 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.320 You've just got a Democratic party controlled by the left, 314 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.559 which clearly their game plan is for survival and thrival. 315 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.600 New word, please copyright it. 316 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.440 Their game plan is open borders, let everybody flow in 317 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.360 from everywhere in the world, because we're betting they're going 318 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.960 to be Democrat voters, most of them, and attract the 319 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:10.399 homeless to Denver in large numbers because eventually, you know 320 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.960 a certain number of them, they're going to get registered 321 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.039 to vote, and they're going to vote for us because 322 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.600 they're going to be dependent on government. That's their plan 323 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:20.159 to win. It's not serving the interest of the people. 324 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.960 That is their plan to win in Colorado, and so 325 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:24.000 far they've been getting. 326 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:25.879 Away with it. What does that tell you? 327 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.159 Eight five to five or zero five A two five 328 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.480 five texters Dan how to clean needles prevent overdoses. Seems 329 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.120 to me it would encourage more usage because now they 330 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:36.960 don't have to look around to find a needle. It 331 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.399 obviously encourages more uses. It normalizes this hard drug use. 332 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.320 But marijuana has become a hard drug, look at the 333 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.879 potency and it always was really so. 334 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.120 Yeah, that's what they want to do. 335 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.840 Judge their intent by their actions, right, that's what they 336 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.320 want to do. As I always tell Jerry's, you know, 337 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.679 don't expect them to get up on the stand and 338 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.360 break down, crying and admit it. This ain't Perry though 339 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.000 I have had those moments. It is judged their intentions 340 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:05.000 by their actions. 341 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.759 As the son of an alcoholic, Dan, would you go 342 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.119 up to an alcohol because they hear here's a free shot, 343 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.559 Take a shot. I don't understand this mentality of we're 344 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.480 just going to enable their addiction. Give them free clean needles. Hey, 345 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.240 at least they're clean, get them help. Well, you all 346 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:20.319 just want to clarify the record. 347 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:22.359 I'm not the son of an alcoholic, but but they 348 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.440 don't care about those people, Ryan right, right, right, And. 349 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.799 I am the son of an alcoholic Dan right, No, 350 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.480 And I know that really infers me and a lot 351 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.240 of people in our audience who have family members who 352 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.680 are addicts don't want those addictions enable. 353 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.720 The point is they don't care about the addicts. They 354 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.720 don't care about these people. They don't care about the 355 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.359 weekend defenses. They don't care about anybody except themselves. They 356 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.279 don't care about individual human lives. It's just a completely 357 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.920 different worldview than a guy like you, Ryan, and so 358 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.799 many people listening who see the inherent value and dignity 359 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:58.799 in each human life, they don't view They view most 360 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:00.880 human lives as and acceptable casualty. 361 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.799 Rate. You're on the Dan Kaplas. 362 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:13.119 Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 363 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:17.559 Good pull combination of Seeger and that message, because you know, 364 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:20.200 no matter where you are in Colorado, but you are 365 00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:23.720 endangered by what's going on in Denvert right now. When 366 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.640 you've got the left actively trying to recruit more drug 367 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:31.400 users to Colorado, that affects everybody, and you've got to start. 368 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.319 You've got to start with these poor souls who are addicted. 369 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.240 Right It could be any of us. It could be 370 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:37.599 any of us, It could be anybody. 371 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:37.880 We know. 372 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.000 It's a great sadness, but that sadness shouldn't lead us 373 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.480 to make mistakes that are at least as likely to 374 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.519 end up harming those poor souls and certainly undermine the community. 375 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.559 Think about what the left is trying to do right now. 376 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.680 They're not only trying to add more of these needle 377 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:57.400 exchange locations when they should be get rid of all 378 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.200 of them. They're trying to change the laws. We can 379 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.480 have them right next to schools and daycares. Schools and daycares. 380 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.799 What does that tell you? And Ryan, let's pull the sound. 381 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:09.559 We had sound ready to go a couple of weeks ago. 382 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:13.200 Do you remember the person had an unusual name, but 383 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.279 it was some leader in Denver saying, no kids need 384 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:20.279 to see people using drugs. I'm not making this up. 385 00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:23.799 We'll find that sound. But that's what's going on in 386 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.599 Denver right now. That's on the heels of my personal 387 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.400 belief and I'm doing everything I can to use the 388 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.839 law to gather the facts to prove what I believe 389 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.079 to be true. Is that somebody in Denver, at a 390 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:39.319 very high level, made the decision not to warn the 391 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.400 public that there was a serial killer loose on the 392 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:46.200 mall who may very well kill again. And they knew that. 393 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:48.960 They knew that at the latest early Saturday evening in Denver. 394 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:51.720 So what did the mayor know and when did he 395 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.720 know it? Because at that point, obviously it was his 396 00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.640 responsibility to warn everybody or give the order, because you know, 397 00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:00.559 from a public safety standpoint, the the only way to 398 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.319 protect people is to warn them, because when you've got 399 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.000 a psycho serial killer, they're not going to be deterred 400 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:07.640 by police. 401 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.680
