Speaker 1: This is dan Kapls and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dankplas Show.
Speaker 2: Please be sure to give us.
Speaker 1: A five star rating if you'd be so kind, and
Speaker 1: to subscribe, download and listen to the show every single
Speaker 1: day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2: Let that celebration continue.
Speaker 1: Glad you're here eight five five four zero five eight
Speaker 1: two five five The number text d an five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine.
Speaker 2: You see this happen every.
Speaker 1: Now and then, you know, we always get some text
Speaker 1: after hours before the show, et cetera. We appreciate that,
Speaker 1: love the enthusiasm, but every now and then you just
Speaker 1: really have that breakout on an issue that just captures
Speaker 1: everybody's attention. And we won't spend the full show on
Speaker 1: it today as we did yesterday. But clearly this outrage
Speaker 1: in Steamboat, where this great person elt buried up to
Speaker 1: its neck in the snow, clearly in pain and misery
Speaker 1: and dying, calls State of Colorado. You know, partman and wildlife,
Speaker 1: please come and get the ouk. Can They wouldn't do it,
Speaker 1: and so she organized a posse to come out in
Speaker 1: the morning with shovels. Came from miles around and they
Speaker 1: were having breakfast in the animal died, So people still
Speaker 1: following up on that, I'll squeeze in some of those
Speaker 1: texts today.
Speaker 2: I really want to get the wonderful woman who.
Speaker 1: Tried to save the Elk on the show and continue
Speaker 1: that conversation a bit, so we'll keep working on it so.
Speaker 2: Much more to talk about Colorado's own Bagdad Bob.
Speaker 1: You remember Bagdad Bob right the Saddam He was like
Speaker 1: second or third in Saddam's chain of command, and he
Speaker 1: would stand out there and he would say, you know,
Speaker 1: we're slaughtering the American troops. The American troops are nowhere
Speaker 1: near Baghdad, and you'd see, you know, platoons just walking
Speaker 1: behind them of American troops. I mean, you know, so
Speaker 1: we have our own Bagdad Bob. I don't mean in
Speaker 1: the evil sense, because obviously Saddam is entire regime straight
Speaker 1: from hell, but in terms of the willingness to just
Speaker 1: say obvious false things it publicly and we'll see about
Speaker 1: to Congress, but meryor Mike Johnson of Denver, you know,
Speaker 1: it just says these things that he knows when he
Speaker 1: says them, are obviously false, and has to know everybody
Speaker 1: else knows they're false, but he just says them as
Speaker 1: if they're true. I mean, it's really remarkable, though, very
Speaker 1: inadmirable trait.
Speaker 2: Here's the headline in.
Speaker 1: The Denver Post, Denver Mayer agrees to testify to Congressional
Speaker 1: committee about immigration enforcement policies.
Speaker 2: And the reason I say it's inadmirable.
Speaker 1: And I know this sounds naive, right, but the bottom
Speaker 1: line is, I mean, truth is like the core value,
Speaker 1: and it don't get fair. I've never, obviously, I've said
Speaker 1: to somebody, oh that haircut looks great when you're thinking
Speaker 1: who dropped a lawnmower on your head? But usually that's
Speaker 1: me looking in the mirror. But the point being that
Speaker 1: truths should be a core value. And when you run
Speaker 1: into people my constitutionally protected opinion, Mike Johnson strikes me
Speaker 1: as one of those who has become someone for whom
Speaker 1: it seems to me the truth just doesn't matter. And
Speaker 1: he says all this goofy stuff. And that's why I
Speaker 1: raise the question, Ryan, and nobody's answered it for me.
Speaker 1: Maybe nobody cares about this question except me. Is it
Speaker 1: fair now in this day and age and states certainly
Speaker 1: where you know they're using dope is quote legal is it?
Speaker 1: Is it fair to ask collected officials when they say
Speaker 1: and do really goofy things all the time, whether they
Speaker 1: consume it seems to me like a not only a
Speaker 1: perfectly reasonable question that should be posed to somebody like
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson. I don't know the answer to it. I
Speaker 1: don't know whether he does or not, but looking at
Speaker 1: some of the things he says and does, it seems
Speaker 1: like a very fair question, and I think it's one
Speaker 1: that should become standard with quote legalization. But here's one
Speaker 1: that would go onto that pile.
Speaker 2: Denver may agrees to testify.
Speaker 1: Mike Johnston has decided to testify before a Congressional committee
Speaker 1: next month, etc.
Speaker 2: Etc.
Speaker 1: After its members asked him to travel to Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: To explain the city's policies limiting cooperation with federal em
Speaker 1: greation authorities. That's not what they asked him to explain, right,
Speaker 1: they asked him to explain sanctuary city policy. So I
Speaker 1: wish the article would just say that, and then here
Speaker 1: is the quote from the Johnston administration, so an obvious
Speaker 1: preview of his testimony.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 1: For the last two years, Denver has shown the country
Speaker 1: that you can be a compassionate and welcoming city without
Speaker 1: sacrificing public safety or course services. Says Jordan Fuja, the
Speaker 1: mayor spokesperson. We look forward to discussing with the committee.
Speaker 1: Oh is Jordan going to be up there?
Speaker 2: No listen. So you've got Mike Johnston who's saying that.
Speaker 1: He's been able to welcome and by the way, he
Speaker 1: implicitly encouraged it to poll us all these lefties, all
Speaker 1: these folks to come here illegally. But what he's saying
Speaker 1: is that we were able to have all these folks
Speaker 1: come in, all these folks come in without sacrificing public
Speaker 1: safety or course services.
Speaker 2: Ryan, is.
Speaker 1: Are the rec centers not core services? Because I remember
Speaker 1: some rec centers being closed and then you know, like
Speaker 1: Denver couldn't get its flowers, all sorts of stuff, all
Speaker 1: sorts of I remember, now, isn't it nine to one
Speaker 1: one as well? Didn't they have to cut back the
Speaker 1: budget for the nine to one one system? And I'm
Speaker 1: sure we're going to start getting text and calls. I
Speaker 1: thought there were people they denied they were layoffs, but
Speaker 1: they were hourly employees who were no longer getting their hours.
Speaker 1: And Johnston has the nerve to stand up through his
Speaker 1: spokesman and said that I don't know there were no
Speaker 1: core services sacrificed, and certainly on the safety front.
Speaker 2: You know, that's that's the worst deception of all.
Speaker 1: Claiming that there was no impact on public safety because
Speaker 1: of all what he calls the newcomers unless they're walking
Speaker 1: into his home uninvited, right, that the newcomers who came
Speaker 1: into Denver no impact on public safety, blatant o vi
Speaker 1: his falsehood. Now, if Mayor Coffin was on the show
Speaker 1: with us, what he'd say is, yeah, he dumped all
Speaker 1: of the Venezuelans, and listen, this is not a blanket
Speaker 1: common on Venezuelans. Obviously, some excellent people came into this
Speaker 1: country who were from Venezuela, but you also got a
Speaker 1: bunch of these gang members who, it appears, according to
Speaker 1: Mike Kaufman, Mike Johnston shipped out to Aurora.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's that this ability to just.
Speaker 1: Stand up, straight faced and say all these things that
Speaker 1: aren't true is really a remarkable and deeply disturbing trait.
Speaker 1: Not to be admired eight five five for zero five
Speaker 1: e two five five of the number, but as I
Speaker 1: said before, you know, to temper expectations.
Speaker 2: Johnston knows. I mean, he's looking forward to this.
Speaker 1: He is thrilled that he got this invitation because he
Speaker 1: knows there's no real chance to cross examine him. There's
Speaker 1: no real chance to cross examine him in one of
Speaker 1: these committee hearings because each member only gets a few minutes,
Speaker 1: and then Johnston can filibuster. You know, give any skilled
Speaker 1: informed person twenty minutes with Mayor Johnston on a true
Speaker 1: witness stand under oath, with the judge there who can
Speaker 1: direct the witness to answer the question, and Johnston would
Speaker 1: be completely totally exposed. But this committee it's a walk
Speaker 1: in the park. It's a walk in park. There's no
Speaker 1: real ability to pin him down. And Ryan, that's one
Speaker 1: of the things about these committee hearings, right that just
Speaker 1: doesn't get talked about enough, is they are so ineffective
Speaker 1: because there is no presiding judge. I understand there's a
Speaker 1: committee chair who can bang the gavel and say a
Speaker 1: couple of words, but there's no presiding judge to control
Speaker 1: the proceedings, to say to the witness, such as you know,
Speaker 1: Mike Johnston of Denver, Mayor Johnston, please answer the question.
Speaker 1: You know, you did not answer that question. So that's
Speaker 1: what makes these committee hearings, you know, so ineffective.
Speaker 3: They're faulty for two reasons, and they're kind of the
Speaker 3: same reason on both sides. And that is either a
Speaker 3: member of the House Committee or Senate committee will use
Speaker 3: their time to filibuster on their own to get TV FaceTime, etc.
Speaker 3: Or the witness. And I think it would be more
Speaker 3: likely the case with a mayor Mike Johnston will filibuster,
Speaker 3: try to draw out an answer so they can run
Speaker 3: out the clock and not have to answer the question
Speaker 3: to your point.
Speaker 1: Right, And that's where you need the presiding judge to
Speaker 1: step in. Yes, So now Johnston isn't concerned about this
Speaker 1: at all. He won't get pinned down there. He'll probably
Speaker 1: never get pinned down. And his bet is that he
Speaker 1: will not pay a price with the voters because the
Speaker 1: voters don't matter. You have to understand the current mentality
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party in Colorado is the voters don't matter.
Speaker 1: That as long as they can win the Democrat primary,
Speaker 1: as long as they get the big money from the
Speaker 1: far lefties who controlled the Democratic Party, they can win
Speaker 1: the primary.
Speaker 2: And as long as they win the primary, they're going
Speaker 2: to be elected.
Speaker 1: And so the voters aren't he look at the way
Speaker 1: they behave, look at the way they act. You know,
Speaker 1: for these these statewide democrats and a mayor like Johnston,
Speaker 1: the voters aren't even in the calculus for them, certainly
Speaker 1: not the safety and the best interest of the voters,
Speaker 1: not in the calculus at all. And here's proof Exhibit A,
Speaker 1: though we have about fifty of them, Exhibit as that
Speaker 1: Johnston wouldn't think twice before, wasn't it? The day after
Speaker 1: the day after, another innocent Denveright.
Speaker 2: Was slaughtered on the mall, The first.
Speaker 1: One a flight attendant visiting the city at her throat
Speaker 1: slit by this free killer. The second one the night before,
Speaker 1: without any hesitation, Johnston Prance is down to the mall
Speaker 1: close to where the blood was spilled and just proclaims victory.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that is the mentality. So don't get your
Speaker 1: hopes up for this hearing eight five four zero five
Speaker 1: two five five takes dam five seven seven three nine
Speaker 1: when we come back. Lots to cover, But I do
Speaker 1: want to get your take on this story. In fact,
Speaker 1: they had it in the news at the top of Hey,
Speaker 1: Now you're going to have these speedcams on different highways
Speaker 1: in Colorado.
Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
Speaker 1: Do you support that? Do you oppose it? Eight five
Speaker 1: five or zero five? A two five to five? Is
Speaker 1: it going to change.
Speaker 2: Your driving behavior? You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: I love this text, Dan, do you feel every day
Speaker 1: since one twenty twenty five is like Christmas morning? What
Speaker 1: pressense will Trump put under the tree tomorrow morning? That
Speaker 1: from Alexa that that's absolutely perfect. I've kind of felt
Speaker 1: that way since election day because you saw, starting the
Speaker 1: next day right the Trump effect take effect.
Speaker 2: Around the world.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that Eric's going to raise what was going
Speaker 1: to be my five o'clock hour topic. But it's so wonderful.
Speaker 1: Let's start it now. Eric, You're on the Dan Capliss Show.
Speaker 5: Welcome by Dan.
Speaker 6: You're great American.
Speaker 2: Eric, You doing my friend?
Speaker 6: Okay, Oh my god, young man. I hate to correct Ryan.
Speaker 2: I've never heard that.
Speaker 6: Hand He said that President Trump signed in the executive order.
Speaker 7: On the no Boys in Girls sports. But that was
Speaker 7: a real deal that was signed. That's why Speaker Johnson
Speaker 7: and the rest were there in.
Speaker 8: The White House.
Speaker 7: It wasn't an executive order, that was a real He's direct.
Speaker 1: That's right, No, Ryan is Ryan is saying you are
Speaker 1: absolutely correct.
Speaker 6: God bless you Ryan for not slapping me.
Speaker 2: You know when you're.
Speaker 7: Right, Ryan, Do you you know, take calls from two
Speaker 7: to four?
Speaker 8: Eric?
Speaker 3: If every call was like yours, I'd take calls every day.
Speaker 2: I'd find a way.
Speaker 3: It's just difficult because I don't have a consistent producer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but isn't that also kind of the trend in
Speaker 1: talk radio that most people are, at least to a
Speaker 1: lot of hosts now don't take calls.
Speaker 8: Some do.
Speaker 3: I think it's a technical issue behind the scenes. See,
Speaker 3: Dan is very fortunate to have yours truly, Eric and Kelly,
Speaker 3: and so we can kind of run the show behind
Speaker 3: the scenes and then Dan can focus on the hosting party.
Speaker 8: Eric.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be the spoiler here, but is
Speaker 1: it possible that Ryan is actually right? Because I'm just
Speaker 1: looking at a couple of news pieces, both within the
Speaker 1: last hour, this one from NBC News. Trump signs executive
Speaker 1: order banning trans women from women's sports. So my understanding
Speaker 1: has been that this was an executive order and then
Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right that there were a bunch
Speaker 1: of people standing around celebrating it, as they should be,
Speaker 1: because that this should.
Speaker 2: Be one hundred to zero issue in America.
Speaker 1: President Trump says NBC News signed an executive order Wednesday
Speaker 1: prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports.
Speaker 1: The measure, creatively called the No Men in Women's Sports
Speaker 1: Executive Order, is the fourth order targeting transgender people since
Speaker 1: the President is signed.
Speaker 5: What awful language the target I watched them.
Speaker 6: I watched them in chambers. My brother, Well, they voted
Speaker 6: on that.
Speaker 3: The one I think we might get be getting confused
Speaker 3: on both you and me, Eric on this is the
Speaker 3: Lake and Riley Act, which was passed through Congress and
Speaker 3: signed into law by President Trump in bipartisan fashion.
Speaker 2: So I might be confusing the two there.
Speaker 8: I think both of them passed, right because.
Speaker 6: NBC we can't trust him.
Speaker 1: Then, fair enough, But there are multiple other news outlets
Speaker 1: and the same thing, my friend now, LaCl and Riley
Speaker 1: Act obviously was about detaining illegal immigrants accused of different crimes.
Speaker 1: But yeah, on the issue of restoring sanity this country,
Speaker 1: no men in women's sports. That was an executive order today,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm absolutely thrilled to see it.
Speaker 2: So I'm so glad you called on it wrong.
Speaker 6: I guess I got him mixed up too wrong. I
Speaker 6: thought it was.
Speaker 2: A real real Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, we can only hope that maybe that will follow because,
Speaker 3: like we know, executive orders can be undone by a
Speaker 3: subsequent Democrat administration.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, Eric appreciated.
Speaker 6: Screaming in the radio man and Ryan, Ryan, we could
Speaker 6: hear you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you could hear it.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, I am so glad you called. Thank you, Eric,
Speaker 1: because that's my five o'clock hour topic.
Speaker 2: But it is.
Speaker 1: It's such a good thing. It's such a great thing.
Speaker 1: We might as well talk about earlier.
Speaker 2: Ryan.
Speaker 1: Here is one question I have in my limited experience
Speaker 1: with you being wrong, which does not happen often. You
Speaker 1: will never admit it when you're wrong, but you'll admit
Speaker 1: you're wrong when you're right. So what's all that about?
Speaker 1: Because you were right but admitted you were wrong.
Speaker 3: He got me thinking, And then then I was questioning
Speaker 3: my because I'm like, well, wait a minute, maybe I
Speaker 3: did get it wrong.
Speaker 2: I always want to be open to that.
Speaker 3: If I get something wrong, then I definitely want to
Speaker 3: correct it on the record. But then I'm thinking back
Speaker 3: and I'm like, Okay, I think I confused it with
Speaker 3: the Lake and Riley Act, which is the first Act
Speaker 3: of Congress on President Trump's watch, he signed it in
Speaker 3: a law.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think we've had another one since then, though, right.
Speaker 1: I think you've got a better excuse than that, And
Speaker 1: this one is obviously true.
Speaker 2: You're multitasking. You got a lot to do bad, absolutely
Speaker 2: lot do back there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, of course every now and then, Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm on bonnexing flowed away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it does take time to come up with.
Speaker 1: That eight five to five for zero five eight two
Speaker 1: five to five the number text DA N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine.
Speaker 2: So at the same day.
Speaker 1: You've got Mayor Johnson out there saying, yeah, I'll go
Speaker 1: and talk to Congress.
Speaker 2: Because hey, Denver, we're the place.
Speaker 9: We've done it, right, We.
Speaker 1: Got all these people in here without any increase in
Speaker 1: crime or or cut in course services. He has the
Speaker 1: audacity to actually say that, right, Well, what about TDA
Speaker 1: And by the way, the raids this.
Speaker 2: Morning, Kevin in Denver, you're on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Hey guys, great show. Thanks thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 5: I have a couple of things here. How do you
Speaker 5: get that many still informed people around the Capitol?
Speaker 2: That's the question.
Speaker 10: The other one is I drove by there and I
Speaker 10: noticed at least three Littleton Public school buses, yellow school
Speaker 10: buses parked right on Broadway.
Speaker 5: Were those kids at that rally?
Speaker 2: Which rally are we talking about?
Speaker 5: The one on the Capitol? The pro pool against uh
Speaker 5: seagulls and all that.
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if that's the case, but a
Speaker 1: lot of shocking stuff happens. My guess is they're probably
Speaker 1: just down for a tour of the Capitol. But I'm
Speaker 1: glad you brought that up. So how big?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 1: You read the stories and then when it's a cause
Speaker 1: the left likes, they do this super double triple zoom
Speaker 1: to make it look like five hundred people when it's five.
Speaker 1: When I can remember several years when I had the
Speaker 1: privilege of em see or speaking at the you know,
Speaker 1: March for Life, we'd have thousands of people and they'd
Speaker 1: make it look like there were four.
Speaker 2: So how many were down there?
Speaker 5: I would say, if I were to take an educated guess,
Speaker 5: I would say, and there was a lot of people
Speaker 5: walking around getting there. Yeah, there were probably maybe three thousand.
Speaker 1: Well that'd be a big crowd. But here's what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to understand. And did it look like a bunch
Speaker 1: of school kids? Because you know, sometimes some of the
Speaker 1: Denver public schools, the kids will wander out nice spring day,
Speaker 1: they'll go down to some protests. But what I'm always
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, guys, is because we just saw
Speaker 1: in La two. Wait, did you have folks at this
Speaker 1: protest holding the Mexican flag?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: There was a car in front of me that was
Speaker 5: had their hand out the window waving a Mexican flag.
Speaker 1: Because these at these anti deportation protests, you see all
Speaker 1: these folks with Mexican flags. What I'm trying to understand
Speaker 1: is why are they waving the flag of the cuntry.
Speaker 1: You're protesting people being sent to.
Speaker 2: Did do you get that?
Speaker 10: Ryan?
Speaker 1: I mean, is it the whole protest that people shouldn't
Speaker 1: be sent to Mexico, but they're waving the Mexican flag?
Speaker 2: Oh, it makes sense.
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from somebody. Is anybody out there protesting,
Speaker 1: Please give us a call. We would love to understand
Speaker 1: that logic if if you're so loyal to Mexico, you
Speaker 1: admire Mexico so much that you're going to be waving
Speaker 1: their flag in a protest in Denver, LA, then why
Speaker 1: are you protesting people being sent to Mexico eight five
Speaker 1: five four zero five two five five text d an
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast, Maxine Waters.
Speaker 11: We want to use our money right here in Washington, DC,
Speaker 11: in this country.
Speaker 9: We want to make.
Speaker 11: Sure that all about federal employees, about that this right.
Speaker 2: At that cut fired in the middle.
Speaker 1: Let me let me get it to you from the beginning,
Speaker 1: because the beginning's the fun part. And the fun part
Speaker 1: of this is that, as predicted, what's happening now is
Speaker 1: the multiplier effect, the force multiplier of the Trump victory,
Speaker 1: because Trump winning and stopping the left from another term
Speaker 1: and all of that saved the country right once again,
Speaker 1: Trump voters saved the country. But the other big thing
Speaker 1: we need is for the left to be exposed for
Speaker 1: the nut jobs they really are and the far left
Speaker 1: secular crazies they really are in order for us to
Speaker 1: get maximum long term benefit from this. And that's exactly
Speaker 1: what's happening before our eyes. So here's Maxine Waters and
Speaker 1: she's together with but we've got more sound from this.
Speaker 2: She's together with another big group of Dems.
Speaker 1: And they obviously at this point have completely lost it.
Speaker 9: We want to use our money, right.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm I I understand the process, my friend,
Speaker 1: I just once again humbly suggest that we invest more
Speaker 1: than fourteen ninety.
Speaker 2: System for this.
Speaker 1: Uh, unless it is the tools, what a good craftsman's
Speaker 1: going to lie? Right, So let's say you have the
Speaker 1: best possible sculptor, right, and let's say that that it's
Speaker 1: going to be the greatest creation since the Pieta. And
Speaker 1: you've got this beautiful, beautiful work of art almost done, Lucifer.
Speaker 2: And you go to swing the hammer.
Speaker 1: You go to swing the hammer that last little chisel
Speaker 1: and the head of the hammer flies off and it.
Speaker 2: Knocks off the head of the sculpture.
Speaker 1: You're going to blame. You're going to blame the craftsman.
Speaker 1: At that point, no nobody wants to hear this, but
Speaker 1: I'll bet this can. Literally, I've been on air here
Speaker 1: thirty years. This thing predates me. They didn't even have
Speaker 1: computer cent We have got.
Speaker 11: To tell Elon Musk.
Speaker 2: Nobody elected your.
Speaker 11: Ass, Nobody talk to you can get all of our
Speaker 11: private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge
Speaker 11: of the payments.
Speaker 2: Of this country.
Speaker 4: We have told you.
Speaker 11: You've made enough money off our government yourself, and now
Speaker 11: you want to take everybody else's payroll and make sure
Speaker 11: that they don't make the kind of money that you've made.
Speaker 1: He's broken her, right, I mean, that's just somebody who's
Speaker 1: lost it.
Speaker 2: How are all these members of Congress millionaires by the way,
Speaker 2: right right?
Speaker 1: And how is Elon Musk trying to make sure everybody
Speaker 1: doesn't make as much money as here? I mean, no,
Speaker 1: they're truly losing it. And the beauty is that people
Speaker 1: can see it. And I understand, if you're listening to
Speaker 1: this show, you're probably politically active on one side or
Speaker 1: the other're probably on the right, but politically active, you're
Speaker 1: dialed in.
Speaker 2: And we all know that the.
Speaker 1: Vast majority of American voters have chosen not to prioritize that,
Speaker 1: and so they're not dialed in every day, but they
Speaker 1: can see this. That's the point. We've reached, that flash
Speaker 1: point now where stuff like this cuts through the noise,
Speaker 1: and so much of it is happening.
Speaker 2: They can see, Wow, you know what this Democratic Party?
Speaker 1: It isn't what I thought the Democratic Party was because
Speaker 1: most people vote out of Habit right, most people vote.
Speaker 2: Democrat out of Habit.
Speaker 1: As a former Democrat, I know most people vote Democrat
Speaker 1: out of Habit But they've.
Speaker 2: Been exposed now.
Speaker 1: Which comes back to the President today signing that EO
Speaker 1: on no men in women's sports, an issue that if
Speaker 1: there is any one single issue that won the election
Speaker 1: for him, it's probably that one. Because they spent over
Speaker 1: one hundred million on those devastating ads, and I think
Speaker 1: it's probably true that a lot of that money came
Speaker 1: from Elon Musk, who's been pretty smart about how he
Speaker 1: spends his money, and those ads cut through, and I
Speaker 1: think those ads may very well have been the difference maker,
Speaker 1: as they should have been, because, as we've talked about,
Speaker 1: nothing really exposes the modern Democratic Party for what it
Speaker 1: truly has become. Then this really bizarre, surreal anti science devotion,
Speaker 1: devotion to approvably false premise that there are more than
Speaker 1: two genders, and to this barbarity of making it their
Speaker 1: priority to make sure that all these kids who want
Speaker 1: to can get chemically altered or surgically altered or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's it's bizarre, it's illogical, it's in humane. But it's
Speaker 1: become next to abortion, kind of the dual altar of
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, and.
Speaker 2: It's just exposed them.
Speaker 1: And that's what's going to work so great long term
Speaker 1: for America and for the GOP because people see that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: once again Trump's getting it done. So oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: think go you know, look at voting GOP in the
Speaker 1: future for those who don't. And then the other thing is,
Speaker 1: you see how goofy the left is. Even Kimmel admitted it. Right,
Speaker 1: let me play that sound before we take calls and texts.
Speaker 1: This is Jimmy Kimmel who ends this by saying, we
Speaker 1: are so blanked and he's talking from the left, and
Speaker 1: he's right.
Speaker 2: There are so many lies coming out of his mouth.
Speaker 9: There's so much damage being done.
Speaker 3: But we are not gonna sit back and take it.
Speaker 3: Our leaders on the left are gonna stand up for
Speaker 3: what's right.
Speaker 8: We are gonna fight this fight. I am gonna.
Speaker 6: Stand with you in this fight, and we will win.
Speaker 2: We will win. We well whin.
Speaker 8: We will win.
Speaker 2: We will win.
Speaker 11: We will We won't rest.
Speaker 2: We won't rest. We won't rest. We won't rest. Oh
Speaker 2: we are So what's Jimmy Kimmel?
Speaker 8: We are we are doing?
Speaker 2: And he's right. Doomed is the word for it.
Speaker 1: Because people aren't going back, right, I mean, once they've
Speaker 1: seen the truth about what this modern Democratic party is,
Speaker 1: only the hardcores are staying there. Isn't that the latest
Speaker 1: polling ryn I thought the latest national poll I saw
Speaker 1: Quinnipiac Democrat Party favorables.
Speaker 2: Were down in the low thirties. Yeah, unfavorable was fifty seven, yeah, right.
Speaker 1: Right right, So but the biggest thing is people aren't
Speaker 1: going backwards now when it comes to the benefits.
Speaker 2: To their own life.
Speaker 1: I mean, all these raids, people see, they know these
Speaker 1: raids are not to get people who came here I
Speaker 1: legally and have been living peacefully and they're nice people
Speaker 1: and everything else. All these raids are to get people
Speaker 1: who came here I legally and are committing other crimes.
Speaker 2: So everybody knows their.
Speaker 1: Community just got safer today. Denver just got safer today
Speaker 1: with these raids. Colorado just got safer with those raids
Speaker 1: out in Adams County. Everybody knows that they're not going
Speaker 1: to want to go.
Speaker 3: Back thirty one percent of registered voters have a favorable.
Speaker 2: Beginning of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, those numbers may bounce up and
Speaker 1: down a little bit, but people are not going to
Speaker 1: go back now enough for the Democrats.
Speaker 2: To think about that. Dan, it's three and ten. Yeah, horrifying.
Speaker 1: And I'd like to talk to those three and figure
Speaker 1: out what they're thinking, wouldn't you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were downtown today.
Speaker 1: Got some Texters who are talking about this very important story.
Speaker 1: We did the whole show yesterday. Saw squeeze in a couple. Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm an outdoorsman and I would have attempted to save
Speaker 1: the elk right away.
Speaker 2: That's said.
Speaker 1: I want to illustrate to you why you're overdoing this
Speaker 1: story if you are not willing to question the actions
Speaker 1: of the rescuers. Here goes, if it was a human
Speaker 1: stuck in that snow under the same circumstances, be a child,
Speaker 1: a woman, or a young, healthy, strapping young man, and
Speaker 1: there were no first responders in route, do you think
Speaker 1: those available would wait all night to try to rescue
Speaker 1: that person, and then after waiting all night, sit down
Speaker 1: and have breakfast together before they would start their rescue.
Speaker 1: Of course not And thank you for the text. But here,
Speaker 1: I think is the obvious difference, and the very quick
Speaker 1: background of the story is beautiful elk caught up to
Speaker 1: its neck and snow in a large backyard of a
Speaker 1: woman in steamboat. She calls parks and wildlife please come
Speaker 1: save the elk. They refuse, let nature take its course. Garbage,
Speaker 1: I say, bureaucratic laziness, nonsense, unacceptable in a civilized society
Speaker 1: to let that creature of God suffer physical pain, emotional pain,
Speaker 1: and die a slow, tortureous death. So they refuse, and
Speaker 1: the woman says, I've to get I got to do something.
Speaker 1: And this heroic resident calls people. They come from miles away.
Speaker 1: They're their first thing in the morning with shovels to
Speaker 1: dig the elk out, and then when they're having breakfast
Speaker 1: before going out, because that's going to be a hard job,
Speaker 1: the elk perishes. But here's the difference, my friend, as
Speaker 1: I see it, the difference is that, first of all,
Speaker 1: I think these people should be so admired the citizens
Speaker 1: for going to that trouble to save the elk, and
Speaker 1: the state should be condemned for not saving the elk.
Speaker 1: But because it's an elk. I think they could have
Speaker 1: reasonably thought that the elk might might survive, you know,
Speaker 1: in another day or whatever, so unlike with the human. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're all humans, we know how all that works. You know,
Speaker 1: the human's not going to survive. So I think there's
Speaker 1: that critical difference. And I do think there's a difference
Speaker 1: between a human and an elk. Obviously, I value the
Speaker 1: elk very, very highly because it was created by God.
Speaker 1: It's a living creature that feels pain, that has emotions,
Speaker 1: and so that's why I'm so outraged the state did
Speaker 1: not save this elk. But there is a difference between
Speaker 1: the value of human and the value of an elk.
Speaker 1: So for those reasons, I respectfully disagree, the biggest one
Speaker 1: being if it's an elk, I could see the people thinking,
Speaker 1: you know that the elk would make it longer than
Speaker 1: it made it, But for the state to let that
Speaker 1: creature sit there and suffer like that, no, we can't
Speaker 1: accept that.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: One of the most important outcomes of this Trump victory.
Speaker 1: That's another gift that we'll keep on giving. One of
Speaker 1: the most baffling texts I've ever received. Dan, your comparison
Speaker 1: between a person and an elk being stuck in the
Speaker 1: snow is not even valid exclamation points. Stop embarrassing yourself
Speaker 1: by making comments like that. I understand those are English
Speaker 1: words and they're strung together, but what is this person
Speaker 1: trying to say? The only thing I said is that
Speaker 1: the wonderful people of Steamboat who banded together to rescue
Speaker 1: that elk that should have been saved by the state.
Speaker 1: That beautiful creature should not have been allowed to die
Speaker 1: like that. But the wonderful people who banded together could
Speaker 1: easily think it's an elk. It can survive longer than
Speaker 1: a human. Whereas the texture had asked if the human
Speaker 1: was buried in the snow, they wouldn't have waited till morning.
Speaker 2: Am I missing something?
Speaker 9: Ryan?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for somebody to think we've
Speaker 1: got an elk buried in the snow up to its neck.
Speaker 1: I've called the state, they won't respond. I'm organizing friends
Speaker 1: to come out and save the elk, and we'll do
Speaker 1: it in the morning. Wouldn't you have a reasonable belief
Speaker 1: that the elk could survive till morning, whereas a human
Speaker 1: would not.
Speaker 2: Exactly two parts to this one.
Speaker 3: I would always prioritize a human life or over an
Speaker 3: animal's life. I just would. So that's the first part,
Speaker 3: and the second is exactly what you said. The chance
Speaker 3: of an elk, the way that it's built, the fur
Speaker 3: that it has to survive in that scenario is a
Speaker 3: lot higher percentage and for a lot longer time. I
Speaker 3: would anticipate then a human stuck up to their neck
Speaker 3: in a snow bank.
Speaker 1: And we're going to try to get the wonderful woman
Speaker 1: on the show who who organize the rescue party for
Speaker 1: the elk, and I imagine she'll confirm this, But.
Speaker 2: In this situation, it just seems to me that.
Speaker 1: She must have at a very high level of confidence
Speaker 1: that the elk could make it through the night, and
Speaker 1: that's why they waited. I would have that confidence, right.
Speaker 1: So I see somebody who is just a real hero
Speaker 1: going out of her way along with her friends to
Speaker 1: rescue a wonderful creature.
Speaker 2: My criticism is of the state.
Speaker 1: The state really needed to step in there, and it
Speaker 1: needs to step in in other circumstances like that. Dan
Speaker 1: police need to order the protesters to leave or pay
Speaker 1: the consequences. We're getting a number of texts about this
Speaker 1: protest at the capitol.
Speaker 2: Is it ongoing right now?
Speaker 8: Ryan?
Speaker 2: Can you check with the newsroom Texters, Yeah, I will.
Speaker 3: I know that it was at several state capitals today
Speaker 3: including Lansing, Michigan, and several others in here in Denver, Colorado,
Speaker 3: and John Fabricatory got caught in the middle of it.
Speaker 2: I could check in with him for you if you
Speaker 2: like him to talk about.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, sure, and would really love to know
Speaker 1: whether it's still going on because the text came in
Speaker 1: a little bit ago that says was just at the
Speaker 1: capitol and that protest is full of younger kids. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised if we see some mayhem when night falls.
Speaker 2: We hope not.
Speaker 1: But that goes back to the point that the Left
Speaker 1: has implicitly green lighted and I would say encouraged violence
Speaker 1: and property discussion for a long time now. I mean
Speaker 1: it goes back for this, but you look back to
Speaker 1: after the death of George Floyd, when the Left was
Speaker 1: allowed to rampage, not by our wonderful law enforcement, but
Speaker 1: by people in charge, including Jared Poulis, who, as I
Speaker 1: recall it literally abandoned his post and disappeared for a
Speaker 1: couple of days while the left tore up downtown and
Speaker 1: desecrated the capitol, which poulis allowed to stay in that
Speaker 1: state for months, by the way, So I do think
Speaker 1: there's been this implicit encouragement green lighting from the left
Speaker 1: for property destruction other lawless type actions. So let's hope
Speaker 1: there isn't any of that. I do come back to
Speaker 1: the question nobody's quite answered yet on why are the
Speaker 1: folks who are protesting the deportations carrying Mexican flags? Because
Speaker 1: if you're saying people shouldn't be deported to Mexico, why
Speaker 1: are you carrying a Mexican flag?
Speaker 2: If you think.
Speaker 1: Mexico is that great that you're carrying around a Mexican
Speaker 1: flag in America, wouldn't you want.
Speaker 2: The people to be sent there? I do not understand
Speaker 2: that logic. Bill and Inglewood. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 8: Welcome, Hi Dan, Thanks very much.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 8: I remember the last time that our Fearless Wolf leader
Speaker 8: released the new batch of wolves, one of the comments
Speaker 8: made was that they've learned their mistake and it cost
Speaker 8: a lot more money to patrol the wolves than they thought,
Speaker 8: so they've figured it out out how to do it.
Speaker 8: So my question is how much money is being spent
Speaker 8: on a yearly basis by the patrols that are going
Speaker 8: around and following the wolves. Can I imagine that's a
Speaker 8: big number.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good question, my friend.
Speaker 1: You The latest number we've seen just for the whole
Speaker 1: wolf ree introduction nonsense is a little.
Speaker 2: Over five million.
Speaker 8: Oh Jesus, yeah, will say this thing works with the
Speaker 8: animals and snow. You really need horses to get into
Speaker 8: snow depth to even have a chance of getting an
Speaker 8: animal that large out. But the other thing I wanted
Speaker 8: to get to is can we find out who is
Speaker 8: going to be on the committee? Uh? When are Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'll dig that up. Thank you, Bill,
Speaker 1: appreciate the call, and everybody online please we'll get you
Speaker 1: on right at the start of the next segment.
Speaker 2: But I had talked earlier about how.
Speaker 1: You know lawless Mike Johnston of Denver, the mayor there,
Speaker 1: had said he's going to appear before that congressional committee.
Speaker 2: Of course he is, because they have no real chance.
Speaker 1: To pin him down. There's no judge. He's just going
Speaker 1: to deceive. He's going to fill a buster. Of course
Speaker 1: he's going.
Speaker 2: To show up there here on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 9: Lenn he went to college and racked up huge.
Speaker 2: Debt, a little bit over one hundred thousand dollars for.
Speaker 9: A degree he couldn't use.
Speaker 2: Now what, I had a friend that went to my
Speaker 2: computer career.
Speaker 9: They even helped him get hired immediately after graduation.
Speaker 10: One of the things I love about ideas that you
Speaker 10: can work from anywhere you want.
Speaker 9: You could become an IT pro in just months, including
Speaker 9: cybersecurity and the basics of AI, with zero experience at
Speaker 9: my computer career dot edu.
Speaker 2: It worked for me, and I know it can work
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 9: This is one students experience. Individual results vary.
Speaker 1: If you're looking for quality service products and plum crazy deals,
Speaker 1: think plumb Line services and carrier. Whether staying warm this winter,
Speaker 1: clearing drains, or other plumbing and electrical issues depend on
Speaker 1: Plumbline
