Three 8 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.760 all three someone three A two five five the number 9 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:28.600 text d an five seven seven three nine. Obviously Friday, Well, 10 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.359 every day's open lines now right. It's just it's amazing 11 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.719 how the world has changed that way, that part of it, 12 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.439 you know, social media, twenty four to seven news cycle, 13 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.520 et cetera. But you've got so much going on all 14 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.679 the time. I think it's impossible to do old style 15 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.719 talk radio where you pick one topic and you stay 16 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.359 with it for an hour, et cetera. It's just a 17 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.359 whirlwind and we enjoy that. So glad you're here for 18 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.880 at d an five seven seven three nine. Some things 19 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:56.920 on my mind to throw out there, and then anything 20 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:02.079 else you want to talk about. Interesting. Associated press looks 21 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.840 like they may be barred from the White House press room. 22 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.920 We'll get into the details of that, but I understand 23 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.319 the story. It goes back a little bit to AP 24 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.400 refusing to call the Golf of America the Gulf of America. Correct, 25 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.879 and it is the Golf of Even Google now calls 26 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.760 it the Gulf of America. Right, everybody's doing it, yeah, 27 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.200 even us, Yes, and so AP refusing to And I 28 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.079 think the premise of the Trump administration is that, well, okay, 29 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.120 if you're peddling disinformation, you know, you can't be in 30 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.439 the press room. So we'll follow that story. And it 31 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.040 really is. It's stunny to me, Ryan, because when I 32 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.799 think of AP, I think of the days where AP 33 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.799 was the credible source, right. I mean there might have 34 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.560 been what twenty thirty years ago, maybe more, you know, 35 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.840 there might have been a few different media outlets which 36 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.560 were generally viewed as credible, not everybody, but generally accepted, 37 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.159 and AP was one of those and then just became 38 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.680 political hackery over the years. And that's sad because America 39 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.760 could really use a good, honest, balanced AP. But it 40 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.240 has become what it has become. So Trump administration fighting 41 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.680 back on that. Have you picked up kind of on 42 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.800 Gulf of America using that kind of commonly everyday life 43 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.240 now and I like it. I mean it took some 44 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:19.919 getting used to, but the more I say it, the 45 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.840 more I like it. You know, It's funny because for 46 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.520 me it didn't take any getting used to it all. 47 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.599 It's just kind of natural. It makes sense, right because hey, 48 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.240 look at the shoreline and it just makes sense. And 49 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.639 obviously the greatest nation in the history of the world, 50 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.639 it makes sense that it'd be. And that's no knock 51 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.199 on Mexico. But wesed, you know, we've got more coastline 52 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.759 eight five five A two five five the number or 53 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.759 our new version three h three someone three A two 54 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.479 five five the number, new and better version. So Valentine's Day, 55 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.560 I hope to get some calls and texts just on 56 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.520 the best affordable place to go to Valentine's Day dinner. 57 00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.240 And it's remarkable because we were going to be up 58 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.639 at the Caen today. I was going to go out there. 59 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:07.680 Too much snow. Oh you'll be shocked. Here, my car's 60 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.120 in the shop and the loaner did not have snow tires. 61 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.240 Uh oh and so and then it apparently there's a 62 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.240 bunch of snow. Check wherever you're going up there because 63 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.280 it may be different different places. You know, we're about 64 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.080 twenty minutes west of Vail in that area, about twenty 65 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.719 minutes west of Vale, and apparently the road's really tough 66 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.800 up there today. So yeah, safety first, right, and part 67 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.719 of it is my real job, where you just see 68 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.719 man people's lives changing a heartbeat with a crash, and 69 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.319 so we just tend to err on the safe side there. 70 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.080 So we'll go up tomorrow morning, hopefully. But good to 71 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.639 be with you here today. But I'm surprised we're able 72 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.000 to score a last minute reservation at my neighbor Felix. 73 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:49.719 Have you been there? 74 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:50.199 No? 75 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.280 And that's so she has Oh yeah, yeah, well you 76 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.039 like it, right, I mean you're still with us, right, Okay, yeah, 77 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.520 but I put that into the really nice but still 78 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:06.039 affordable category, certainly not inexpensive. Neighbor Felix. That's a funny name. Yeah, 79 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.680 And if you happen to have a neighbor named Felix, 80 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.319 don't go there. This is like a commercial establishment, hey, Felix, 81 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.439 unless he invites you, And if he doesn't, then we'll 82 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.680 read about it in the Denver Post, I think. But 83 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.959 but yeah, no, it's it's a great Mexican place. And 84 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.120 so I'm just surprised that at the last minute, because 85 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.519 we realized about noon, you know, wouldn't be able to 86 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:29.959 I had to get there through the snow, that we 87 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.040 were able to get a reservation. 88 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:31.399 Right. 89 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.800 So, but some of these places they've just flat become unaffordable. Right, well, yeah, 90 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.240 I got good news and bad news. 91 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.519 So Kelsey, who everybody met on Wednesday, you're still engaged 92 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.920 my intended Yes, I like that word. The good news 93 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.920 is we got a reservation at Del Frisco's. They're off Orchard. 94 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.680 The bad news is is at nine. 95 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.839 Oh well, the bad news is that you're gonna need 96 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.480 a mask and a gun. Yeah, right, I mean, and listen, 97 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.519 I love that place, great people, great stuff. But I'm 98 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:08.759 just oh, I'm serious, it's crazy, right, that's crazy. Yeah, 99 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:09.600 And this is Dan. 100 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.600 Kappls talking, which you know, you're lucky enough to do 101 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.560 very well, but you're not gonna go waste in your 102 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.600 money at a place. 103 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.720 Well and part of it. And honestly, I mean, the 104 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.879 food's so good. You take any of those places, right, 105 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.279 like any of any of those big steakhouses, they do 106 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.199 it great. The food's so good, the people are great, 107 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:26.839 all of that, so I never feel like it's a 108 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.800 waste of money. What I honestly, what I struggle with 109 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.759 is how do you justify right? And and you know, yeah, 110 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.959 so that's what I struggle with because when we sat 111 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.040 down the other day, you know, Dick Wattums and I 112 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:41.759 went over to grab a couple of burgers and he 113 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.160 was out a town visiting your mom. And you look 114 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.040 at the menu and like, typical. Still, that's a nice tune. 115 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.680 You can dance to it, American bandstand. Anybody remember American dancing. 116 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.240 But anyway, yeah, so you and like a typical steak 117 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.360 over ninety bucks, Now, I mean, that's just yeah. So 118 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.800 I think it just a lot of that just has 119 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.879 flat become unaffordable. And even if yeah, I mean I could, 120 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.800 I could pay for it, but it just when you 121 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.560 stop and think about it just doesn't feel right. Special 122 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.000 occasion you bet. I'm not saying I'll ever go to 123 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.639 most places special occasion business stuff, yeah, I'll be there. So, 124 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.120 but we're talking about my neighbor Felix. Though I gotta 125 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.079 get well, my neighbor Felix is really nice. It's not cheap, 126 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.199 but it's not in that kind of range. So what 127 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.519 what would be a typical dan Kaplis order? In my mind, 128 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:38.279 there's no typical There isn't every time order. Yeah. Yeah, 129 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.199 they're amazing, some of the best beef I've ever had. Nice, 130 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.319 But there's the thing. Okay, so it's still real expensive, 131 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.920 like real expensive, but it's a it's some of the 132 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.920 best beef I've ever had, and B it's going to 133 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.160 be about forty eight bucks instead of ninety eight bucks 134 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.720 for the beef. Yep, so still real expensive, but you know, 135 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.439 it's kind of like obscenity, you know what when you 136 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.439 see it? Yeah, and this is not obscene. 137 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.439 Don't you enjoy it more when you know, like you know, 138 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.560 I'm not paying an arm mental league, but it's delicious 139 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.959 and I'm getting a good deal, you know, rather than 140 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.759 you know, the Tomahawk steaks that I owe you. 141 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.199 Oh my lord? Yeah, because I checked. I was thinking 142 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.800 to you. And in the town hard I think is 143 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.680 uptown in seventy five hundred and eighty bucks, that's about ballpark. 144 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:21.800 So anyway, we'd love to hear from you on the 145 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.480 best affordable places for Valentine. Mean, it doesn't have to 146 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.959 be McDonald you know what I mean? But just common 147 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.079 sense kind of stuff. So we'll talk about that. We'll 148 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.600 follow up on some of the latest and some of 149 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.319 the big news stories of the week. And I do 150 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.959 want to find follow up. I had promise this for today. 151 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.360 How you know, we've been talking about it at Dan 152 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.519 Capitlis on Twitter. I posted it because people couldn't believe it, 153 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:45.959 and yeah, you can see it in black and white. 154 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.720 They've been a nickel luper pushing a bill that would 155 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.240 protect illegal immigrants when they're at a polling place, right, 156 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.439 they're not supposed to vote. But under the Bennet Hickenlooper bill, 157 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.399 then yeah, I could not detain any legal immigrant in 158 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.879 a polling place. During today's show, I'll tell you all 159 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.160 the other places Bennett and hick and Loopers say ICE 160 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.759 cannot detain illegal immigrants. And when you hear that list, 161 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.920 and I'll try to get into that in the next segment, 162 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.240 you're going to wonder, well, where can they? But the 163 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.519 polling place thing tells you everything, right, And if you 164 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.800 want to see that bill at Dan Caplis on Twitter, 165 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.199 and if you don't mind following me when you're there, 166 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.839 you know how it's funny some people call it fung shui. 167 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.360 I don't necessarily believe in that, but I'm like eight 168 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.040 followers short of five thousand, and it just you want 169 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.960 that round number, you know what I mean. It's just 170 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.000 something a little off when you're just short of that 171 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.120 round number. So please do like me while you're there. 172 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:39.639 You don't have to like me any other time, but 173 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.799 like me when you get to at dan Caplis on 174 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.200 X and then at some point I want to ask you, 175 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.840 guys Ryan and Alexa and anybody else, who has a 176 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.080 thought on this one of the great mysteries of the universe. 177 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.320 And I'm not a picky kind of guy at all, 178 00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.320 but what is it with the plate stabbing? That's what 179 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.360 I don't get. And I've never seen it accept at breakfast, 180 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.919 but so often at breakfast, like every day on the 181 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:12.919 way to work, I'll stop for breakfast. Yeah, if you 182 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:14.639 you haven't noticed it, the people who will just like 183 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.960 stab the plate over and over again, like tune them out. 184 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.919 It's dead. It's you don't have to kill it, you 185 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.799 know what I mean. Somebody listening knows what I'm talking about. 186 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:29.519 What I'm wondering. Is is it regional? Is it geographic? 187 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.639 Is it is there a place where people grow up 188 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.720 in America where where a certain large group of people 189 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:40.360 just keep stabbing the plate. Maybe it's just me. I 190 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:41.960 don't do that, by the way. Three or three someone 191 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.759 three eight two five five text d A N five 192 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:49.679 seven seven three nine. And now back to the Dan 193 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:54.840 Kaplas Show podcast j D getting after it in Germany. 194 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.000 And expressing opinions? Is it election interference? Even when people 195 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.840 express views outside your own country, and even when those 196 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.759 people are very influential and trust me, I say this 197 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.960 with all humor. If American democracy can survive ten years 198 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.799 of Thunberg scolding you guys can survive a few months 199 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:20.399 of Elon Musk, where's the laugh with German democracy? What 200 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:25.440 no democracy, American, German or European will survive is telling 201 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:29.000 millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations 202 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.879 they're pleased for relief, are invalid or unworthy of even 203 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.120 being considered. 204 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.240 Boy, I'm glad he went after that. I mean, we 205 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.840 haven't talked about it much on the show, but this bizarre, 206 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:46.360 weird growing censorship in democracies in Europe and really freaking. 207 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.759 Cars are driving into people totally unoccupied totally with no 208 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:53.279 driver whatsoever. And did you just ask Germans to have 209 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.240 a sense of humor, because that in itself is a punchline. 210 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:57.320 There was a Mike. 211 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.679 Myers sketch on SNL for years that was hilarious, culled sprockets. 212 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.600 Oh yeah, remember that. Oh, now's the time on Sprockets 213 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.080 when we dance. Yeah, yeah it. Let's go to the 214 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.399 phone lines three or three seven, one, three, eight, two 215 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.080 five five, start with Joe in Colorado. Springs are on 216 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:13.080 the Dan Kaplis Show. 217 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.120 Welcome, Ahi, Dan, thanks for taking my call. 218 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:16.600 Sure thing. 219 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:19.919 Yeah, I was just calling on this Gulf of America 220 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.399 beating and the way people are taking to the name 221 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.039 of it. It's not like he named it the United 222 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.639 States Goal. He named it the Gulf of America, which 223 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:32.679 is our continent. It's Mexico doesn't get a right to 224 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.240 it any more than anybody else. So I think it's 225 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.720 a good compromise when you call it America versus the 226 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.600 US goal. And it's the only golf in our continent, 227 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.159 so why not? 228 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.399 Hey, good thinking man, Hey do appreciate that. And the 229 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:47.840 other thing is, listen, we are the greatest nation in 230 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.200 the history of the world right, and so not perfect obviously, 231 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.519 but one of the things that makes us great is 232 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.879 we've got a pretty good track record of fixing our stuff. 233 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.559 And sometimes it takes way too long, but we've always 234 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.000 been able to get there. And so as the greatest 235 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:04.759 nation in the history of the world, it shouldn't be 236 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.840 viewed as an insult to Mexico or anything else. But 237 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.600 when you get this huge body of water and the 238 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.080 most of the shoreline is ours, that it be called 239 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:16.240 Gulf of America. So I love it personally, Suzanne here 240 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.759 on the Dan Kaplis Show, welcome. 241 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.879 Yes on the Golf of America. 242 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.679 Yes. Remember one bet. 243 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.919 When Biden said there'd be no drilling in the Golf 244 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.960 of Mexico. Hmmm, he said that, okay with all the 245 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.559 other places. Yeah, and Trump kind of took care of that. 246 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.360 Yeah, good points, and thanks for the call three or 247 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.480 threes that went three eight two five five takes d 248 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.679 a n five seven seven three nine. 249 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:44.919 Uh. 250 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.919 Trump coming out and calling Vance brilliant today as as 251 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.159 he was. I mean, it's strong leadership. Strong leadership. Vance 252 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.320 brought it to Germany. Here's some more. 253 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.519 And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes 254 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.879 not so clear what happened to some of the Cold 255 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.120 Wars winners. I looked to Brussels, where EU commissars warned 256 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.399 citizens that they intend to shut down social media during 257 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:16.120 times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they've 258 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:21.000 judged to be quote, hateful content. Or to this very 259 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.039 country where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected 260 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:29.279 of posting anti feminist comments online as part of quote 261 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.879 combating misogyny on the Internet a day of action. 262 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.360 I looked to Sweden. We're two weeks. 263 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:40.399 Ago the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in 264 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:45.240 Kuran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder, and as 265 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:49.440 the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to 266 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:54.080 supposedly protect free expression do not in fact grant and 267 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.759 I'm quoting a free pass to do or say anything 268 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.360 without risking affair the group that holds that belief. 269 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.360 Wow. Wow, I am so glad he's speaking out on it, 270 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.559 because again, you know, I think we've been a bit 271 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.159 oblivious to that here. It just hasn't been high on 272 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.320 our radar. But I'd love your thoughts on how garbage 273 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.200 like that even starts and how it starts in free nations. 274 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.000 And now, obviously a reason Trump got a second term 275 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.679 is that there's been a major censorship effort here. You 276 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.039 see it in Colorado. You see it in Colorado all 277 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:32.200 the time from the left, the effort to intimidate politics 278 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.120 of personal destruction, etc. People out of speaking the truth. 279 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.840 And you're gonna get canceled, you're gonna get labeled, you're 280 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.480 gonna get this that. And that's because the left, including 281 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.759 you know, their media arm the left doesn't have good answers. 282 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.240 They can't win an honest debate, so they have to 283 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.559 censor you. Vinton, the first Vinton ever called the show 284 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.399 in Parker. You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 285 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.559 Welcome, Hey, Dan, I wanted to comment on your restaurant thing. Yes, sir, 286 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.320 my neighborhood Felix. If you haven't had that, their award 287 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.759 winning tacos there, Oh my goodness, you've got to try 288 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.960 those those things are unbelievable. 289 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.639 Do you have a favorite, Well. 290 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.799 It's it's I can't remember what they're called, but it's 291 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:18.200 the very first listen say, their award winning and stuff, 292 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.360 but the flavor in those things are probably the best 293 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.240 tacos I've ever heard. 294 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.159 Appreciate the heads up. We're going there tonight BARBARICOA. Have 295 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:27.320 Amy get those, then you can try. 296 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.120 I was just going to say to Vinton that that 297 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.840 Amy will get the tacos. She gets the tacos everywhere 298 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.519 there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah for me. You know, 299 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.639 I I'm a fajita guy. We go to the Mexican place, 300 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.519 I get just the smell of it coming out. I'm 301 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.559 the sizzling grill. You know, it's heaven. But I'm just 302 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:48.080 telling you that is some of the top three beef 303 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.519 I've ever had in my life there at that particular restaurant. Well, 304 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.840 any any mine, my cousin Felix or neighbor I can't remember, 305 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:57.080 my neighbor Felix, whatever is my cousin Vinie, my neighbor Felix, Felix, 306 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.159 but whatever it is, Yeah, any of the Felixes we 307 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.919 go to, because they've got one down in Lohigh as 308 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.799 well whatever they call it place. Yeah, yeah, they got 309 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.120 it down there too, But it's good wherever it is. Yeah, Okay, 310 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.360 we should do a restaurant review show. I think it 311 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.120 would go over well. So if you've got any suggestions 312 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.240 for really good affordable places for Valentine's Day. Again, we 313 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.879 thought we were going to be in the mountains and 314 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:24.799 then snowing up there, so just they told us in 315 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:26.519 the area we were headed to the roads a real 316 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:28.200 bad so we're just staying down here. And yeah, we 317 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:31.159 were able to get a Felix reservation at the last minute, 318 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:35.159 so we'll go to some tech suggestions on that. And 319 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.960 also there's some real fun sound of the week we 320 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.759 didn't get to because of all of these different breaking 321 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.279 news stories each day. And by the way, Ryan, we 322 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.519 are following up and let's put our heads together because 323 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.080 I want to follow up in every possible way on 324 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.320 this bizarre story out of Columbine that we were talking 325 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:55.240 about yesterday, and we played the Sean Boyd story on 326 00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:00.320 a administrator got together with the teacher to falsely say 327 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.720 that a student was homeless so she could move in 328 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.319 with the teacher. And she wasn't homeless, she had a 329 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.079 family and she had a home and then she ends 330 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.319 up moving away with the teacher as soon as she 331 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.759 turns eighteen. I mean, just bizarre stuff. We've we got 332 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.359 to get to the bottom of that. That's just one 333 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.839 of those where public pressure the right thing has to 334 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.759 be done eventually there But it just goes back to 335 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.680 this issue. Right, so many heroic teachers, so many great teachers, 336 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.160 so many people in public schools, but we have a 337 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:33.200 blank and epidemic of sex assault on kids in the 338 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.559 public school system. And so why doesn't it get more attention? 339 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.200 Well because her allies of the Democratic Party. That's wrong. 340 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:47.759 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast and Anderson 341 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.920 Cooper's head exploding email money for migrants that's okay. Now no, 342 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.079 I'm not saying it's so. I'm not saying it's okay. 343 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.519 So would you stop? 344 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:55.640 That? 345 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:59.079 Would stop that process? Don't be the portray on. What 346 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.039 I'm saying is the trail by him is just not 347 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.200 factually accurate. You bleep that? Do we have to bleep that? No, 348 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.920 because it's the guy's name. But it's funnier when I 349 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.319 bleep it though it is, and I think everybody got 350 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.400 the idea. But but again, this just goes to this 351 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.359 beautiful moment wherein where the left is gettings and some 352 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:19.559 coupreson normally so cool and calm and everything else. Right, 353 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.640 the whole charade not like him personally, but just the 354 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.160 whole charade. He's hardcore lefty and and now he's losing 355 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.680 his mind. I mean, can you ever have imagined that? 356 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.200 And some guy making a very valid point it don't 357 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:37.160 be up Richard Mike in Eerie A Ka Eerie, Mike, 358 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:40.119 welcome back to the Dan Kaplis Show.

You want to finish the rest of 374 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:26.279 that quote? 375 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.759 I'm happy to this is on Reutter's all the faithful, 376 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.119 the Catholic Church not to get into the narratives that 377 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:36.039 discriminate against him, called unnecessarily suffering to our migrant and 378 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:40.160 refugee Brooks and sisters, unquote said the pompous Well, that's 379 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:41.279 a quote, Danton. 380 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.200 You're leader. 381 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:44.200 Thank you now. 382 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.519 Now you've read this so carefully. 383 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.559 I don't make things up. 384 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.640 Did you read other parts as well? Have you read 385 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.160 other parts where the Pope and the bishops of Colorado 386 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:58.839 and other bishops around the country, you know, and Pope Benedict, 387 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.160 et cetera, I have talked about that the right of 388 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:06.240 a population to have borders and control immigration and to 389 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.680 control crime, et cetera.
