Speaker 1: What a spectacular Friday afternoon and looks like a great
Speaker 1: weekend ahead. Probably another dip in the weather weather by
Speaker 1: Tuesday or so, but we will enjoy this. Three oh
Speaker 1: three seven one three A two five five then number
Speaker 1: text d A N five seven seven three nine. So
Speaker 1: it's Friday open lines. But the truth is these days,
Speaker 1: pretty much every day is open lines, right. It's just
Speaker 1: how fast things are moving right now in the world.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, whatever you want to talk about, we
Speaker 1: are always happy to And that's also partially now because
Speaker 1: of text. Because the thirty roughly thirty years I've been
Speaker 1: an Eric somewhere around there, you know, there's obviously been
Speaker 1: this sea change from it used to be almost everybody
Speaker 1: called and then and now almost everybody has shifted to tech.
Speaker 1: So you're more likely to get that variety of topics,
Speaker 1: which I personally enjoyed because I don't think there's any doubt,
Speaker 1: and I'd like, you're taking this, I'm not even sure
Speaker 1: the age matters. I think for almost all of us
Speaker 1: now that smartphones and other screens have really changed us
Speaker 1: and have really changed our brains and have really changed
Speaker 1: our intention attention spans and the way we learn, etc.
Speaker 1: So I think everything is so much faster now, and people,
Speaker 1: I think we're just geared. We're kind of wired right now,
Speaker 1: you know, by this technology to just want so much
Speaker 1: new information, so fast, etc. I think that just leads
Speaker 1: more folks to text and to text on anything under
Speaker 1: the sun, which we appreciate. And speaking of under the Sun,
Speaker 1: Colorado Sun some really good reporting by Jesse Paul on
Speaker 1: a very serious issue that's raised a lot of different questions,
Speaker 1: and that is Yadira Caraveo, who had been congresswomen in
Speaker 1: the hotly contested, relatively new eighth CD in northern Colorado.
Speaker 1: According to The Sun, had been battling severe depression, couple
Speaker 1: of suicide attempts during the course of the last campaign,
Speaker 1: and obviously those weren't reported to the public, and they
Speaker 1: are being now through anonymous sources. My guess is it's
Speaker 1: the Colorado Democratic Party, which I have to believe knew
Speaker 1: all along, right and helped hide it from the public
Speaker 1: because they thought it would cost him the race. By
Speaker 1: the way, you tell me, do you think that would
Speaker 1: have cost them the race or would it have helped
Speaker 1: her to have opened up and been honest about it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Texter says probably cost her the race. I agree with that,
Speaker 1: but you never know. It could have gone the other direction.
Speaker 1: But one way or the other, the public had a
Speaker 1: right to know, and it was hidden from the public,
Speaker 1: and I have to believe the Colorado Democratic Party was
Speaker 1: part of that. And I have to believe the Colorado
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is behind this leak right now. I can't
Speaker 1: prove it, can't be certain of it, but that's what
Speaker 1: I believe. And why would they leak it now because
Speaker 1: she's in the primary now and they think they have
Speaker 1: a good candidate and the other guy, so Abe Evans,
Speaker 1: is going to be tough to beat because he's really good.
Speaker 1: I mean he's just flat out really good three or
Speaker 1: three he's someone three eight two five five tagst d
Speaker 1: A N five seven seven three nine. We have been
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time on this show, as we
Speaker 1: in every show should on. Really one of the worst
Speaker 1: bills ever introduced in Colorado House Bill twenty five thirteen
Speaker 1: twelve quote legal protection for transgender individuals. And though even
Speaker 1: though one of the most hideous provisions was at least
Speaker 1: temporarily removed the other night, the provision that essentially was
Speaker 1: the hey, I either agree that your boy is really
Speaker 1: a girl or lose custody provision. But there's a whole
Speaker 1: lot of bad stuff still in this bill, including provisions
Speaker 1: that would classify quote dead naming unquote misgendering, you know,
Speaker 1: two bizarre terms. Right, Because so now you commit this
Speaker 1: horrible offense under the law of misgendering if you correctly
Speaker 1: gender somebody and that's not rhetoric, that's just fact. If
Speaker 1: you've got a male there and as all male parts
Speaker 1: and that's your sign or that's a male in your
Speaker 1: business or whatever, and you refer to that person as
Speaker 1: a male, your quote misgendering. Yeah, but that would count
Speaker 1: as discriminatory act under the Colorado Anti Discrimination Act and
Speaker 1: as a form of quote course of control in other proceedings. So,
Speaker 1: my lord, I mean think about that, and that Ryan,
Speaker 1: what a great way, what a great way to attract
Speaker 1: new business to Colorado, Right, And that's one thing that
Speaker 1: doesn't get talked about enough. We've been blessed, and it's
Speaker 1: probably a big reason that all of us are here.
Speaker 1: We've been blessed with living in one of the most
Speaker 1: spectacular places on the face of the earth in terms
Speaker 1: of natural beauty, resources, minimal threat of natural disasters. We've
Speaker 1: been given like virtually every God given gift. It takes
Speaker 1: to have the greatest state in the nation, and yet
Speaker 1: we lose competition for top jobs and top companies to
Speaker 1: Minneapolis and cities in Arkansas, etc. And it's stuff like this.
Speaker 1: First of all, it's poor performance by our Democrat elected officials.
Speaker 1: But then it's garbage like this. I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: the CEO of a Fortune one hundred company and you're
Speaker 1: deciding where to move, Yeah, let's see, where do we
Speaker 1: want to move? Okay, Yeah, we want to move somewhere
Speaker 1: with legalized dope. We want to move somewhere that's inviting
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants in. Yeah, we want to move somewhere where
Speaker 1: they're lessening the criminal penalties for all sorts of serious stuff.
Speaker 1: We want to move somewhere where our company is going
Speaker 1: to be found guilty under Colorado civil rights laws. If
Speaker 1: we don't call a man a woman. Yeah, let's move
Speaker 1: our company there, right, But it just comes back, the
Speaker 1: left really doesn't like you. I'm sorry, and they hate me,
Speaker 1: but they don't like you, and they're just so devoted
Speaker 1: to their hardcore leftist ideology screw everything else, starting with
Speaker 1: the kids, right, How could any of this possibly be
Speaker 1: good for kids? And they don't even care about that.
Speaker 1: And here is some sound Senator Faith Winter talking about
Speaker 1: her crash couch for minors. Now, Ryan, let's try to
Speaker 1: get her on the show, okay, because I'd love to
Speaker 1: explore this in more depth. You're hanging your head there,
Speaker 1: my friend.
Speaker 2: Well, the other sound that you sent me lends me
Speaker 2: to believe that she's not really going to be eager
Speaker 2: to go public with anything.
Speaker 1: Well, I just want to invite her for the conversation
Speaker 1: because I've got this. I've got this belief that there
Speaker 1: are many out there on the left right now who
Speaker 1: are trying to take children away from their parents. And
Speaker 1: you know, we talked a lot about that Columbine story, right,
Speaker 1: and and I think that in different ways, to different degrees,
Speaker 1: the Left is on a mission to separate children from
Speaker 1: their parents, and in some cases just flat out take them.
Speaker 1: And so when Faith's winner starts talking about her crash
Speaker 1: couch for miners, and it is in connection with the
Speaker 1: discussion of this bill as I understand it of twenty
Speaker 1: five thirteen twelve labeled legal protection for transgender individuals. But
Speaker 1: why are they so focused on the kids? We don't
Speaker 1: hear a whole lot of conversation about the adult transgenders.
Speaker 1: They're so focused on the kids. And that brilliant point
Speaker 1: Ryan one of the best texts we've ever had, Right,
Speaker 1: Why aren't the drag queen reading hours ever done at
Speaker 1: old folks homes? They only do them at schools. So
Speaker 1: here's Faith Winter on the floor of the house bragging
Speaker 1: about her crash couch for miners. And in my home,
Speaker 1: I have.
Speaker 3: A crash couch, and this is something that my now
Speaker 3: teenage children know I have. And this is where any
Speaker 3: young person can come and feel safe, regardless of the
Speaker 3: struggles that they have. And I've had numerous young people
Speaker 3: that are coming out as trans orgue who felt I'm
Speaker 3: safe in their home or didn't know how to have
Speaker 3: that original conversation.
Speaker 1: Let's stop there for a second. So she's talking about
Speaker 1: crashing on her couch miners who are having issues related
Speaker 1: to their sexuality. And then she talks about, oh, they
Speaker 1: didn't feel safe in their homes. But then she adds
Speaker 1: in there or I'm paraphrasing, trouble talking about her or something.
Speaker 1: So she's got crashing on her couch miners who are
Speaker 1: having struggles at home over sexual identity issues and they're
Speaker 1: having trouble talking to their own parents. Does that feel
Speaker 1: right to you?
Speaker 3: Come and stay with me because it's safe because.
Speaker 4: They know that someone's going to affirm them, affirm them,
Speaker 4: and this whole by the way, this whole gender affirming
Speaker 4: care and affirm them.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, you're not affirming anybody when you lie
Speaker 1: to them to tell a boy he's really a girl.
Speaker 1: That's that's not affirming anybody. But I get back to
Speaker 1: to the factor here involved in bragging about having this
Speaker 1: crash couch for miners who are wrestling with these sexuality issues.
Speaker 3: I'm just going to support them, and this bill to
Speaker 3: me is my crash couch for the state.
Speaker 1: Of Now, keep in mind, this is the same faith winner,
Speaker 1: as I understand it, who had those issues with alcohol
Speaker 1: like public functions.
Speaker 5: And they met to today and determine there is enough
Speaker 5: to move forward in this ethics investigation, and that includes
Speaker 5: video of the April meeting in North Glenn where she
Speaker 5: appeared intoxicated. Winter apologized for her behavior the day after
Speaker 5: the public meeting and said she was seeking substance abuse treatment.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got somebody, and God love them, because
Speaker 1: lots of fine people have had to seek substance abuse treatment.
Speaker 1: But we've got somebody who's had to, at least at
Speaker 1: the time of that story, seek substance abuse treatment and
Speaker 1: was out, apparently, whether it's true or not, intoxicated at
Speaker 1: a public meeting. Who then has this crash couch at
Speaker 1: home for minors who are struggling with these sexuality sexual
Speaker 1: identity issues. Does that weird anybody else out? You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Caplis show.
Speaker 6: Back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast, And in my.
Speaker 3: Home, I have a crash couch and this is something
Speaker 3: that my now teenage children know I have, and this
Speaker 3: is where any young person can come and feel safe.
Speaker 1: Why did she mention that part about my now teenage
Speaker 1: children know I have this? How's that relevant? Why do
Speaker 1: you think she threw that in there? She's a cool mom, well,
Speaker 1: do you think maybe she appreciated how creepy this might
Speaker 1: sound to a lot of people. She's got a crash
Speaker 1: couch for miners who are struggling with sexuality issues. Do
Speaker 1: you think that's why she's threw in the Oh my
Speaker 1: kids know about this.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think it's a signal for the kids, her.
Speaker 2: Own children to go out and say, hey, got a
Speaker 2: safe space for you. Other kids in the whole school,
Speaker 2: they'll be on board and know that the senator has
Speaker 2: a crash couch for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing to see here.
Speaker 3: Regardless of the struggles that they have. And I've had
Speaker 3: numerous young people that are coming out as trans orgue
Speaker 3: who felt unsafe in their home or didn't know how
Speaker 3: to have that original conversation.
Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. You've got kids struggling
Speaker 1: with this sexuality issue who don't know how to have
Speaker 1: the conversation with their parents. So faith winner, an elected democrat,
Speaker 1: is going to put them on her couch. Shouldn't they
Speaker 1: be home with their parents having that conversation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, come and stay with me because it's safe
Speaker 3: because they know that someone's going to affirm them, someone's
Speaker 3: going to support them.
Speaker 1: So the way to support a kid, and these are
Speaker 1: heartbreaking cases right the way to support a kid who
Speaker 1: is so confused and who knows what influences and pressures
Speaker 1: the kids under Because obviously right now you got a
Speaker 1: bunch of people on the left out there just trying
Speaker 1: to recruit kids into this transgender thing. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any doubt about that. Whether she is or not,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that this whole business of you
Speaker 1: got kids who are have had a hard time talking
Speaker 1: to their parents, So this other adult is instead going
Speaker 1: to have those kids live with her.
Speaker 6: Here's the key question.
Speaker 2: Do the parents know that the senator is offering this
Speaker 2: crash couch to their children? Or is she doing this
Speaker 2: behind the parents' bags?
Speaker 1: Great question. That's why we'd love to get her on
Speaker 1: the show and have the conversation. Not entirely sure she'll
Speaker 1: show up, but we hope so could tell her we
Speaker 1: have a crash couch. We do somewhere here, don't we
Speaker 1: right out there? Yeah, that's right, we do it, do it.
Speaker 1: He could crash.
Speaker 6: It's not bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And this bill to me is my crash couch for
Speaker 3: the state of Wow.
Speaker 1: Think about that. So this bill is some may argue
Speaker 1: crash couch the way to separate children from their parents.
Speaker 1: And isn't that the big play of the left right now?
Speaker 1: You look at what happened at Columbine, and we covered
Speaker 1: that horrific situation in deep deep death where this mother
Speaker 1: had no idea officials were working behind her back to
Speaker 1: have her daughter declared homeless so she could move in
Speaker 1: with another teacher while another teacher was grooming her. But
Speaker 1: and it extends to a much broader point, right that
Speaker 1: these lefties who controlled the Democratic Party quite obviously look
Speaker 1: at the legislature, just believe that they're not your children.
Speaker 1: They're not your children, and they know much better what's
Speaker 1: better for these children, and they are going to take
Speaker 1: your children, whether it's physically literally take them and have
Speaker 1: them declared homeless, or whether it's they're going to have
Speaker 1: your children on their quote crash couch for the whole state,
Speaker 1: you know, or whether they're going to take your children
Speaker 1: by indoctrinating them and government runs schools. That there's no
Speaker 1: question the left is trying to separate children from their parents,
Speaker 1: at the very least, separate them from their parents' values
Speaker 1: and their parents' principles. Because it's like Jared Polis said
Speaker 1: the day after you got elected governor, which is a
Speaker 1: people have to leave their faith outside that the ballot
Speaker 1: box because polist knows if people vote their faith, the
Speaker 1: left loses. Well, how can it be your faith if
Speaker 1: you don't vote it. But we can get back to that.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, so the left, in order to win,
Speaker 1: has to separate children from traditional values. And to do that,
Speaker 1: they have to separate children from their parents. And you
Speaker 1: see that being done in so many different ways. That's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons the left fights to the death
Speaker 1: against school choice right because the left needs the schools
Speaker 1: to indoctrinate the kids. It's and I think more and
Speaker 1: more parents are stif darting to see that. And that's
Speaker 1: part of what you saw on election day, and hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll start to see that show up in Colorado elections.
Speaker 1: Three LL three someone three two five five. The number
Speaker 1: of text d an five seven seven three nine. I
Speaker 1: do want to get to some of these texts as well.
Speaker 1: Very thoughtful texters, This text says Dan, last time I
Speaker 1: checked encouraging miners. Gosh darn it, Ryan, can we all
Speaker 1: chip in and get a new computer? I mean, your
Speaker 1: hit show and everything else we should be able to
Speaker 1: get a new computer and screen. Dan, last time I
Speaker 1: checked encouraging miners to run away from home and sleep
Speaker 1: on your quote, crash couch is contributing to the delinquency
Speaker 1: of a minor. If our state wasn't so messed up,
Speaker 1: she would be arrested for admitting to harboring runaways. Instead,
Speaker 1: she is bragging about it. I don't know if the
Speaker 1: text is legally correct, but I would bet they're an
Speaker 1: awful lot of people who feel that on a moral
Speaker 1: level that Texter is absolutely right, Dan, that crash couch
Speaker 1: sounds like a gateway to harboring a runaway. Dan, it's
Speaker 1: nicest lady with the crash couch, and it's herself between
Speaker 1: the parents and the kid. I don't see that as
Speaker 1: very helpful, and of course it's not. Of course it's
Speaker 1: not very helpful. But since when have has the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party in Colorado or nationally done anything that would suggest
Speaker 1: to you they actually care about kids. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: Holy Grail. The altar they worship on is the legalized
Speaker 1: killing of children up to the moment of burst, So
Speaker 1: what would make you think that they would care about kids?
Speaker 1: And then we got a text from a woman who
Speaker 1: had referenced earlier on the Caraveos story. She'd heard a
Speaker 1: report that Caraveo's son had reported her, and she wrote
Speaker 1: back to say, no, that is not accurate. That understanding
Speaker 1: not accurate. Interesting texts, my friend. Why has Bennett gone
Speaker 1: dark since his announcement? Bigger question? Why has Wiser in
Speaker 1: many ways gone dark since Bennett's announcement? Is he trying
Speaker 1: to angle for the Senate seat? Maybe Bennett's gone dark
Speaker 1: because he's heard about this column I'm writing, which I
Speaker 1: think will make a very important point about Michael Bennett
Speaker 1: that will not please Michael Bennett. I think it'll ironically
Speaker 1: many many people on the left, I think are going
Speaker 1: to agree with the point that I make about Michael
Speaker 1: Bennett and this column. I'll let you know when it's
Speaker 1: going to run. You're on the Dan Kaplass Show.
Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 1: It's expensive to live in the White House. Many people
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean much is not covered. You're paying
Speaker 1: for every food, every bit of food that you eat.
Speaker 7: You're not paying for housing and the staff in it,
Speaker 7: but everything, even travel. If you're not traveling with the
Speaker 7: president if your kids are coming on a bright Star,
Speaker 7: which is the first Lady's plane, we had to pay
Speaker 7: for their travel to be on the plane. It is
Speaker 7: an expensive proposition, and you're running for two years and
Speaker 7: not earning an income. So all of that was in
Speaker 7: my mind. How would we manage this? My fears came
Speaker 7: from the fact that I thought he could win, but
Speaker 7: I knew he had an in him to make this happen.
Speaker 1: What did he even say to that? Right? Oh my yeah,
Speaker 1: the house, that the staff and everything else. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: but where is the cause greater thimself? Whatever it takes
Speaker 1: for the country. Valley Forge, all the people who literally
Speaker 1: had limbs freeze off at Valley Forge, you know, as
Speaker 1: they were ready to go out and fight and die
Speaker 1: for their country. But you know in the White House,
Speaker 1: yeah that the staff and the butler and the maids
Speaker 1: and all of them were paid for, and the house
Speaker 1: was paid for, but we had to pay for the food.
Speaker 1: How do you ever get to that point? Really? How
Speaker 1: do you and the whole time knowing that every day
Speaker 1: you spend in that White House, you're net worthy skyrocketing.
Speaker 1: Now the money's not coming into your bank account that day,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's coming into your bank account as
Speaker 1: soon as you leave office. So how do you how
Speaker 1: do you ever get to that point?
Speaker 2: I'm reminded of the great JD Vance in his exchanged
Speaker 2: He's still alive, Martha raddits.
Speaker 6: What he goes. Do you hear yourself? Martha?
Speaker 2: This is a do you hear yourself? Michelle? And how
Speaker 2: privileged you sound and how out of touch this is?
Speaker 2: You think the average American is going to hear that
Speaker 2: and relate.
Speaker 6: And go, yeah, I could kind of see.
Speaker 1: But do you think she cares what the average American thinks?
Speaker 1: Obviously no, no, And I think what we have here Ryan,
Speaker 1: And it's fascinating to see because you look at Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama and you look at somebody who was really gifted, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, God gave her a ton of gifts, you know,
Speaker 1: gave her a brain, gave her beauty, gave her opportunity,
Speaker 1: and she's had a lot of success. But somewhere along
Speaker 1: the line, her identity became that of a victim and
Speaker 1: she just has to be the victim. And what a
Speaker 1: sad twist that is, right, because she's she's got an
Speaker 1: awful lot going for. But I guess the question is
Speaker 1: what doesn't matter what any of us have going for
Speaker 1: us if we're not grateful. And we were talking about
Speaker 1: this the other day, right, And I'm sure your mom
Speaker 1: same way. But my mom taught us when we were young,
Speaker 1: as I can remember, every time you wake up, it's
Speaker 1: what are the five things I'm grateful for today? And
Speaker 1: then what are the five things I'm looking forward to today?
Speaker 1: And if you're grateful, you're rich. Who said that? Was
Speaker 1: that was some rich guy, some rich guy who say
Speaker 1: I'll look it up during the break, But it's so true.
Speaker 1: If you're grateful, you're rich. If you're not grateful, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what those numbers are in the account, you're poor.
Speaker 1: Why is it?
Speaker 5: Dan?
Speaker 2: You know, George W. Bush came from considerable wealth. His
Speaker 2: dad was very successful going way back, and yet he
Speaker 2: was kind of cornbread and he could relate to the
Speaker 2: average American and they tapped into that that is really good.
Speaker 1: Are you ever going to go over to like comedy
Speaker 1: works and do a show or something, Well, you should.
Speaker 2: I just remember feeling like w spoke to me, like
Speaker 2: I could relate to him, And the same thing in
Speaker 2: a much more remarkable sense with Donald Trump, who came
Speaker 2: from privilege, but he took his father's empire and built
Speaker 2: it even bigger. And yet he has that common touch, right,
Speaker 2: that ability to connect with the working man and woman.
Speaker 6: Michelle Obama who should have that.
Speaker 2: She came from pretty modest beginnings right herself, her family.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and yeah southsider right like us.
Speaker 6: But like exactly like you.
Speaker 2: And due credit to her, she was able to make it.
Speaker 2: But to your point, Dan, I'm like, why would she
Speaker 2: focus on the positive? Look how far I came? And
Speaker 2: isn't Martin great?
Speaker 1: What a great question that is. And you know, from
Speaker 1: what I've heard, her parents are wonderful. So he can't
Speaker 1: blame them, I mean because I can remember. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: south side of Chicago, seventy six in Aberdeen, and I
Speaker 1: remember they were called hobosn when I was a real
Speaker 1: little boy. They would come to the back door because
Speaker 1: there were railroad tracks nearby, and my mom would always
Speaker 1: feed him, which is why they came to the back door.
Speaker 1: You know, hobo's talk to each other and then my
Speaker 1: mom would it was a lesson, Hey, just be so
Speaker 1: grateful for what you have. So, but you can't blame
Speaker 1: her parents. Everything I read about her parents. They're they're
Speaker 1: really cool. So yeah, I looked it up, Brian. If
Speaker 1: you're grateful or no, if you're not grateful, you're not rich.
Speaker 1: Is attributed to John Templeton, prominent investor in Philantropist. I
Speaker 1: say that word better when I'm not even peanut butter
Speaker 1: during the break. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, if you're grateful,
Speaker 1: you're rich. If you're not grateful, you're poor, no matter
Speaker 1: how much money you have. I don't think anybody can
Speaker 1: argue with that. So yeah, just so sad to see
Speaker 1: that great being about how expensive it is to live
Speaker 1: in the White House. Well three or three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. Hey, this story that's just getting so
Speaker 1: much attention. We haven't had a chance to comment on yet.
Speaker 1: And thank you to Christy Burt Brown filming in yesterday.
Speaker 1: She was awesome. We oh, she always is right. We
Speaker 1: have a uh and she may be in a day
Speaker 1: next week because I start a trial Monday down in
Speaker 1: Calorao Springs and we had a last minute hearing that
Speaker 1: was going to start at four yesterday afternoon, so I
Speaker 1: had to miss the show and go down to this
Speaker 1: pre trial hearing. And I'll be in trial at the
Speaker 1: start of the week next week and then Sheriff's eems
Speaker 1: Sheriff of Weld County will be in on Monday, Heidi
Speaker 1: Ganall on Wednesday, and then I believe, I hope Christy
Speaker 1: Burton Brown on Tuesday, but we'll get that confirmed. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so we haven't had a chance to talk about this
Speaker 1: real tragedy that happened involving John Elway, and I just
Speaker 1: want to touch on her briefly unless somebody else has
Speaker 1: some other angle on it. But you may have heard
Speaker 1: the news that from what I understand, he's driving a
Speaker 1: golf cart and a real close friend of his had
Speaker 1: been a sports agent, but just close buddies for a
Speaker 1: long time, was standing on the back of the cart
Speaker 1: and then fell off and hit his hat and died.
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, sheriff confirming today out there. This happened
Speaker 1: at an exclusive golf course area in California. Sheriff confirming today.
Speaker 1: No suspicion of anybody doing anything wrong. I could have
Speaker 1: told you that in the beginning, because Ryan, have you
Speaker 1: ever done that? Just we all do it. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's absolutely nothing wrong in the guy doing it, and
Speaker 1: the deceased and nothing wrong in l way driving while
Speaker 1: he did it. But if you ever done that, just
Speaker 1: stand on the back of a golf cart.
Speaker 2: Very kind of uneasy, yes, and you got to have
Speaker 2: your balance, and even if you do, it's not a
Speaker 2: very secure feeling, right.
Speaker 1: And we all do it, but we all know how
Speaker 1: dangerous it is, right because think about it. If you fall,
Speaker 1: you're going straight backwards under the back of your head.
Speaker 1: You don't have a way to protect yourself. It's going
Speaker 1: to happen too quick, and then your feet may catch
Speaker 1: because if people aren't familiar with golf carts, you've got
Speaker 1: that back. Most golf carts have the back where you
Speaker 1: put the golf back exactly. And so if you're standing
Speaker 1: on the back there, if there are bags on the cart,
Speaker 1: then your feet can get caught up in the bags
Speaker 1: and straps. If there aren't bags, your feet can get
Speaker 1: caught up in the indents for the bags. So it's
Speaker 1: a recipe for disaster. And it happens every now and then.
Speaker 1: I remember a guy prominent Colorado golf course. It happened
Speaker 1: to him probably ten years ago, and dad very quick
Speaker 1: because you fall, you fall right on the back of
Speaker 1: your head with momentum, and.
Speaker 6: How fast does a golf cart go?
Speaker 2: Not that fast, but it doesn't have to be to
Speaker 2: miles an hour, maybe something like that.
Speaker 1: And some of them, right, they take the governor off
Speaker 1: and they go, yeah, just like super fast. But I
Speaker 1: don't think you have to be going very fast at all,
Speaker 1: because it's going to be the momentum you get between
Speaker 1: how tall your head is and where the ground is
Speaker 1: and that backward fall you can't protect. So just a
Speaker 1: great sadness, but no reason to believe anybody did anything
Speaker 1: wrong there. Texters Dan, how does someone know numerous children
Speaker 1: for this crash couch when it's supposed to be less
Speaker 1: than one percent of the population, says the texter. We're
Speaker 1: referring to. Some sound will play again after the break,
Speaker 1: a prominent Democrat legislator bragging about how she as a
Speaker 1: crash couch for teens at her home, and so we'll
Speaker 1: play that sound again real quick.
Speaker 2: Bill Maher said that, and he cited some studies. It's
Speaker 2: skyrocketed the number of say gen zs who identify as
Speaker 2: gender neutral or non binary, or it's in the twenty
Speaker 2: percent range or something like that. Now where it was
Speaker 2: closer to one percent for say, the baby boomers.
Speaker 1: Why does it seem like the left is recruiting I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about any particular individual here, but but why
Speaker 1: does it seem like the left is so actively trying
Speaker 1: to recruit kids to be a different gender than they are.
Speaker 1: I'd love your thoughts on that. Three or three someone
Speaker 1: three eight two five five text d An five seven, seven,
Speaker 1: three nine.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Glad You're here? Three or three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five texts Dan five seven, seven through nine. Many
Speaker 1: fine people have done that this afternoon, and a couple
Speaker 1: of koops and wow, what weather and going to be
Speaker 1: gorgeous through the weekend, probably not get funky again until
Speaker 1: Tuesday or so. Hope you enjoy every minute of it.
Speaker 1: I will be buried in my office in trial preps,
Speaker 1: so personally i'd rather be snowing out. Not true, because
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want you unhappy. And I'm really glad for
Speaker 1: all the kids with youth baseball because I grew up
Speaker 1: in Chicago. It gets really cold in Chicago, but I
Speaker 1: don't think it's ever been colder than spring baseball in Colorado.
Speaker 1: So anyway, enjoy this wonderful weekend if you just joined us.
Speaker 1: Were talking about a whole lot of stuff, including this
Speaker 1: prominent Colorado state Senator Faith Winner bragging about having a
Speaker 1: quote crash couch for minors in her home and then
Speaker 1: wanting this new hideous bill thirteen twelve to be the
Speaker 1: crash couch for all of Colorado. What a selling point.
Speaker 3: And in my home, I have a crash couch and
Speaker 3: this is something that my now teenage children know I have,
Speaker 3: And this is where any young person can come and
Speaker 3: feel safe, regardless of the struggles that they have.
Speaker 1: How does the word get put out to these kids?
Speaker 1: Is she saying that her kids put the word out?
Speaker 1: Is that why she mentioned? But how does she put
Speaker 1: the word out to these kids that hey, you want
Speaker 1: to come stay at my house?
Speaker 3: And I've had numerous young people that are coming out
Speaker 3: as trans or gay who felt unsafe in their home
Speaker 3: or didn't know how to have that original conversation. Come
Speaker 3: and stay with me because it's safe.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, she's saying these kids, it's not that
Speaker 1: they feel unsafe, and I'm she's talking about kids who
Speaker 1: just don't know how to talk to their parents about that.
Speaker 1: So instead, is she saying she encourages the kids to
Speaker 1: move in with her rather than just go have the
Speaker 1: conversation with the parents and listen. I am not, in
Speaker 1: any way, way, shape or form, implying any kind of
Speaker 1: sexual impropriety. That's not my point. I don't believe that's occurring.
Speaker 1: My point is this whole idea, and it's the obsession
Speaker 1: of the left to varying degrees separating children from their parents.
Speaker 1: If you've got kids who don't know how to talk
Speaker 1: to their parents about some sexual confusion they're having, the
Speaker 1: solution is not to move them into your home and
Speaker 1: separate them separate miners from their parents. That's not the
Speaker 1: solution in any sane person's mind.
Speaker 2: I got one what if Senator Winter's child identified as
Speaker 2: conservative and I was afraid to come out to his
Speaker 2: or her mother as such, and I, in my infinite
Speaker 2: caring decided I was going to have a crash couch
Speaker 2: for this conservative child.
Speaker 1: And what a brilliant point. And then you just come
Speaker 1: back to truly, anybody who truly cares about a child,
Speaker 1: who cares about a child, is going to want that
Speaker 1: child reunited with their own parents and whatever issues they
Speaker 1: have worked out. It's not making it easier for the
Speaker 1: child to separate from their parents.
Speaker 7: Dan.
Speaker 1: If Chicago wants to replace the Christopher Columbus statue with
Speaker 1: the statue the better represents the city, maybe they should
Speaker 1: commission a statue of al Capone. I'm pretty confident in
Speaker 1: our audience is not interested in who Chicago should have
Speaker 1: a statue to. But I say this literally. I mean
Speaker 1: because when you think of Chicago, like, if you're going
Speaker 1: to do a statue, you're going to do a statue
Speaker 1: in Colorado. Let's say you're going to take down Old Meth,
Speaker 1: that that hideous horse out at Dia and use that
Speaker 1: prime piece of public art space or anywhere else. Good
Speaker 1: to do a statue that symbolizes Colorado? What would it
Speaker 1: be or symbolizes Denver. I'd love your take on that.
Speaker 1: Probably need longer segments for it. If you're going to
Speaker 1: do it for Chicago. And I mean this literally, not
Speaker 1: Hallmark card or sentimentally, that statue should be in my
Speaker 1: parents because my parents symbolized Chicago. You know, Chicago police officer,
Speaker 1: a woman who could have done anything, chose to stay
Speaker 1: home and raise five kids on the South Side, and
Speaker 1: then the Southwest Side worked hard loved their kids, loved God,
Speaker 1: took us to church, took us to the ballgames. I
Speaker 1: mean they hard, hard working. They symbolize Chicago. I can't
Speaker 1: think of any individual who symbolizes Chicago. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Is there an individual who symbolizes Colorado? Like
Speaker 1: one individual who symbolizes Colorado.
Speaker 6: I've said it before, John Denver, I.
Speaker 1: Would suggest, I'm not yeah, I would suggest Kendrick Castio.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, And I'm not trying to get ye.
Speaker 1: Kendrick Castillo, Dave Sanders, who else?
Speaker 6: Who else?
Speaker 1: You're right on the entertainment side, the pop culture side,
Speaker 1: But I would say that the true heart of Colorado Kendrick,
Speaker 1: Dave Sanders, He's a teacher, gave his life to save
Speaker 1: kids at Columbine. Who else? We should do a show
Speaker 1: on this, like after I get out of this trial
Speaker 1: next week. Kit Carson, Yeah, Old west Man, Yeah, Old
Speaker 1: west Yeah.
Speaker 6: Doc Holliday's buried here.
Speaker 1: You know that makes my day.
Speaker 6: Have you seen Tombstone?
Speaker 1: I am not sorry. I have not seen most of
Speaker 1: the classics. I've been a little busy.
Speaker 2: I one percent guarantee Amy has seen Tombstone.
Speaker 6: I could be wrong, but I'm.
Speaker 1: Oh, she is so cultured, That's what I mean. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I'm sure she's seen everything.
Speaker 6: You too should watch it this week and it's a
Speaker 6: great movie. Even Kelly likes it.
Speaker 1: ILL have to watch it, like after I stop trying cases. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're a little busy at the moment, but yeah, no,
Speaker 1: i'd honestly I would love to take a month off
Speaker 1: sometime and just watch all the classics. Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: just haven't had time along the road between as plenty
Speaker 1: of time for the Broncos and the Buffs.
Speaker 2: And I'm just saying, between Arizona and Deadwood, South Dakota,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of the wild West history that goes
Speaker 2: right through this state.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It is amazing, isn't it. Yeah, it is amazing. But yeah,
Speaker 1: gonna be beautiful weekend. What are you guys doing. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: two game sevens at the same time tomorrow night. That's big.
Speaker 1: That is big. Yeah, And I wish the Evs were
Speaker 1: at home. I think they've got a real good shot.
Speaker 1: I'm just supremely confident the Nuggets are gonna win. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so well, hey, guys, Sheriff Stephen Monday while I'm in
Speaker 1: trial and I will be back on the show next week.
Speaker 1: We're just not exactly sure when the trial's gonna end,
Speaker 1: but some absolutely great hosts in the meantime. Have a
Speaker 1: tremendous weekend, Ryan Kelly, thank you, and please join the
Speaker 1: show Monday and catch you next week
