Speaker 1: thirty nine, and such smart and talented and accomplished people
Speaker 1: as well. Glad you are here, Ryan, Thanks to you

Speaker 1: I was in a jury trial representing the most amazing
Speaker 1: people and beautiful Douglas County, Colorado, and what a great
Speaker 1: job they do at that Douglas County Courthouse. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is always such a joy to go there and trycase.
Speaker 1: And we've tried a lot of jury trials. There are
Speaker 1: now serious injury cases in Douglas County and just you know,
Speaker 1: from the people in security to obviously everybody involved in
Speaker 1: the court staffs et cetera. It's just a tremendous place
Speaker 1: to go and trycase. People at Douglas County should be
Speaker 1: very proud of their system and very grateful to a wise,
Speaker 1: thorough jury which rendered, you know, a very very meaningful
Speaker 1: award to these amazing humans I represented, and so if.
Speaker 3: I made in yes, sir, okay, this is coming from me,
Speaker 3: and I've known you for some time now, six years
Speaker 3: you have.
Speaker 2: I've not known you to lose.
Speaker 4: I've not known you to lose.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying what I'm what I am saying is
Speaker 3: when there's I don't know whoever you're combating in the courtroom,
Speaker 3: whether that's an insurance ages whatever, if they see on
Speaker 3: the dock at dan Caplis Law, it's like nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: six seeing Mike Tye and yeah on the marquet and
Speaker 3: you know what.
Speaker 2: Could we get a DIF for an example, maybe just
Speaker 2: a little different exactly, But.
Speaker 1: Thank innent that that's very kind of you, Thank you,
Speaker 1: and it listen. We were privileged to get another seven
Speaker 1: figure jury verdict, seven in a row, as they should be,
Speaker 1: but that's you know, that's more a reflection on my clients,
Speaker 1: who are really tremendous people and that's what drives these verdicts.
Speaker 1: But I'm very privileged to have been the lawyer in
Speaker 1: all those cases, along with other great people on our teams,
Speaker 1: of course. So thank you Ryan for your kind words. Wow,
Speaker 1: so kick much to talk about. Thank you, Kelly, appreciate
Speaker 1: that and very very much. So wow, so much to
Speaker 1: dig into here. Where to start is really the bigger challenge.
Speaker 1: There's so much going on locally nationally as well. I
Speaker 1: just saw where that school shooter in Madison today is
Speaker 1: a female female school shooter seventeen years old Christian school.
Speaker 1: We're trying to get more information and we'll pass that
Speaker 1: along throughout the course of a show.
Speaker 2: Madison, Wisconsin morning about eleven.
Speaker 1: I was in Madison, Wisconsin this morning, but left just
Speaker 1: before that happened. So I was visiting for those who
Speaker 1: know him, and I know my brother Mike, who's just
Speaker 1: one of the greatest people you've ever met. And Mike
Speaker 1: is a very serious mental disability. I was back there
Speaker 1: visiting with him yesterday, and it's always a great visit
Speaker 1: with him. So for those who know Mike, because he
Speaker 1: was in this area a long time, had many friends,
Speaker 1: et cetera. I will post some pictures of that, but
Speaker 1: let's just go through the list real quick and anything
Speaker 1: you want to jump on. Believe, after a week off
Speaker 1: while I was in trial, I'm anxious to get back
Speaker 1: to all of this with you, in no particular order.
Speaker 1: By the way, this business of trashing daylight savings time
Speaker 1: right and just staying on standard time, I understand the
Speaker 1: appeal of it. But if people realized that that would
Speaker 1: mean our longest summer day the sun would set at
Speaker 1: seven point thirty, I'm sorry, I am not willing to
Speaker 1: go there. I mean that is for the those of
Speaker 1: us who live in Colorado, that that is one of
Speaker 1: the sweetest things on the face of the earth. Is
Speaker 1: these long summer nights in Colorado. Do you really want
Speaker 1: the suns setting at seven thirty pm? What in Colorado
Speaker 1: in the summer?
Speaker 3: What ilf We go the other way and we keep
Speaker 3: it as daylight saving time for that purpose that you
Speaker 3: just stand, but we don't fall back in the fall.
Speaker 2: That sounds good to me.
Speaker 1: Now, I assume that would mean it's dark till like
Speaker 1: ten in the morning. I know we run into some
Speaker 1: safety issues, right, so you got to balance all that out.
Speaker 1: But all I'm saying is, do you really want a
Speaker 1: summertime where the sun's coming up at four thirty, Which
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind because I'm up anyway.
Speaker 2: I don't like that at all, But and then it
Speaker 2: sets at seven thirty in the evening. Myself, I'm with
Speaker 2: summer nights.
Speaker 3: I mean, Lord Dan living when I was on the
Speaker 3: west side of Michigan, that's like on the far western
Speaker 3: reaches of the Eastern time zone, almost into the central
Speaker 3: where you grew.
Speaker 4: Up, And yeah, we'd have sunsets.
Speaker 3: Sometimes someone go all the way down like ten PM
Speaker 3: in the summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am all for that.
Speaker 1: I remember doing some depositions in a case up in
Speaker 1: Montana late June. College World Series is on and it
Speaker 1: was light out till ten fifteen.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: On this side, No, we do not want the sun
Speaker 1: setting at seven thirty PM in the summer.
Speaker 2: So let's see where all that goes.
Speaker 1: So lots of ground to cover, you know, we're going
Speaker 1: to be talking about which Colorado Democrats are going to
Speaker 1: skip the inauguration. And the only reason I mentioned that
Speaker 1: to you is because I see a number of indicators
Speaker 1: right now that higher level Colorado Democrats are concerned that
Speaker 1: they're starting to lose their iron clad grip on the state.
Speaker 2: Not that all of a sudden they're going.
Speaker 1: To lose every state wide office, no, but that they're
Speaker 1: starting to lose their iron clad grip. If my theory
Speaker 1: is correct, that means we'll see fewer Colorado Dems skip
Speaker 1: the inauguration, So stick in the back of your mind.
Speaker 2: But there are other indicators at this point. Irony.
Speaker 1: Of course, Denver City Council debating, you know, ending flavored
Speaker 1: tobacco while they can't cheer enough for why they can't
Speaker 1: cheer enough for glis marijuana. That is just trashing. So
Speaker 1: many of the youth in Denver and beyond love this story.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it. Travis Hunter not just
Speaker 1: you know, one of the greatest athletes ever in college football,
Speaker 1: but one of the coolest guys, just interesting, fun, positive,
Speaker 1: friendly kind of characters, just just just a real joy.
Speaker 1: It was so neat to see Travis Hunter's mom at
Speaker 1: the Heisman ceremony if you don't know college football at
Speaker 1: you know, the top college football player, which he obviously got,
Speaker 1: talking about how everybody had said that it was a mistake,
Speaker 1: that it was a mistake for her to keep her son,
Speaker 1: and what a great pro life story that she kept
Speaker 1: her son, and her son obviously has done all these
Speaker 1: great things going on to do all these great things
Speaker 1: and above it all, just a really good cool guy
Speaker 1: from everything we can see. And it just makes you
Speaker 1: think about, you know, with these Democratic Party policies, all
Speaker 1: the Travis Hunters who's lives were ended before birth right
Speaker 1: because the Democrats, I'd be at Bennett Hickenlooper, Polus Aholeslum.
Speaker 1: They just cannot they just cannot praise enough all of
Speaker 1: these policies that they know kill five black kids for
Speaker 1: everyone white kid and no kids should be killed. But
Speaker 1: they love these policies, They praise these policies, they expand
Speaker 1: these policies that are ending the lives of so many
Speaker 1: black kids before birth. So what a great pro life
Speaker 1: story that Travis Hunter's mom chose life. So we'll be
Speaker 1: talking about that as well. Of course, we got to
Speaker 1: talk about drones, right, We've got to talk about the
Speaker 1: whole drone story just one of the craziest things ever
Speaker 1: and so much fresh sound from President Trump today.
Speaker 2: So we're going to enjoy President Trump's take on.
Speaker 1: The drones as well. So we've got all of that
Speaker 1: ahead of us. Ryan, We're going to get to the story.
Speaker 1: We have to because it's all over the media. Travis
Speaker 1: Hunter's fiance is all of a sudden, a big media story.
Speaker 2: We're Shannon Sharp on it today. If that person found
Speaker 2: the pipe boine, would they be a suspect that that
Speaker 2: is not Shannon Sharp talking about Travis Hunter's fiance. This
Speaker 2: should be.
Speaker 5: And there's an uproar Prime having to get Travis's fiance
Speaker 5: to stand uh celebrate his win. Then she was filmed
Speaker 5: giving him attitude for taking pictures out a scheduled A
Speaker 5: bit am I supposed to sit here all day. Hunter's
Speaker 5: relationship with his fiance has been under scrutiny since his
Speaker 5: college football career took off. Things seems to have gotten
Speaker 5: people online with a couple of dead in the ig
Speaker 5: Live where their fiance ad manned she wasn't initially attracted
Speaker 5: to him. Fans took that situation to the next level
Speaker 5: when they assume she was annoyed by him, and the
Speaker 5: clip of the interaction between the couple which led many
Speaker 5: to believe she wasn't truly in love with him.
Speaker 1: So we will work all this into the conversation somewhere. Uh,
Speaker 1: but let me give you my quick bottom line on it. Okay,
Speaker 1: And if you were watching the ceremony, you know that
Speaker 1: when Travis Hunter was announced as a Heisman Trophy winner,
Speaker 1: everybody stood up. If, as I recall it, everybody stood up,
Speaker 1: including his competitors, et cetera. Obviously that his mom, the family,
Speaker 1: et cetera.
Speaker 6: She did not.
Speaker 1: She did not stand He's announced his Heisman Trophy winner.
Speaker 1: And all I have to say is, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: if you can't stand up for your loved one when
Speaker 1: they've just won the Heisman Trophy. But but what I
Speaker 1: keep coming back to is the heart knows what the
Speaker 1: heart wants, right, and nobody knows the intricacies of that relationship,
Speaker 1: and and only Travis Hunter can decide what works for him.
Speaker 1: But I can tell you, and this you know, doesn't
Speaker 1: pertain anybody's marriage except mine. One of the most beautiful
Speaker 1: things about our marriage is, you know, nobody's happier for
Speaker 1: my wife when she accomplished something great and does now.
Speaker 1: And nobody's happier for me when I accomplish something great
Speaker 1: than my wife is. And it's just hard for me
Speaker 1: to imagine a relationship where you reach the pinnacle of
Speaker 1: your profession and your significant other doesn't stand up in
Speaker 1: everybody in the room does. But that's where traf is
Speaker 1: to decide. Eighty five for zero five eight two five
Speaker 1: five text d an five seven, seven through nine when
Speaker 1: we come back, where are the drones from? And why
Speaker 1: does it remain a mystery? Or on the Dan Capitla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast can.
Speaker 5: You pull them?
Speaker 7: It?
Speaker 3: All the drones that are flying around New Jersey and
Speaker 3: the ports, and it seems like the Bereck people have.
Speaker 2: A big, distant government. The government knows what is happening.
Speaker 7: Look, our military knows where they took off from. If
Speaker 7: it's the garage, they can go right into that garage.
Speaker 2: They know where it came from and where it went.
Speaker 7: And for some reason they don't want to comment, and
Speaker 7: I think they'd be better off saying what it is.
Speaker 7: Our military knows, and our president knows, and for some
Speaker 7: reason they want to keep people in suspense. I can't
Speaker 7: imagine it's the enemy, because it was the enemy they'd
Speaker 7: blasted out, even if they were late, they'd blasted Something
Speaker 7: strange is going on for reason, they don't want to
Speaker 7: tell the people, and they should because the people are
Speaker 7: really I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster.
Speaker 2: You want to know the truth.
Speaker 7: They're very they're very they're very close to Bedminster. I
Speaker 7: think maybe I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster. I've
Speaker 7: decided to cancel my trip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what do you think the drones are?
Speaker 1: Eight five to five for zero five A two five
Speaker 1: five takes d an five seven seven three nine starting point.
Speaker 1: Obviously agree with President Trump, but we also know they're
Speaker 1: not aliens because aliens don't fly drones, right, So what
Speaker 1: are they and why are they? Eight five five for
Speaker 1: zero five eight two five five takes d an five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine. Thanks to Deborah Flora as well,
Speaker 1: who I'm told to filled in last week and obviously
Speaker 1: did a fantastic job because she always does. I didn't
Speaker 1: have a chance to listen to any of the tape
Speaker 1: because I've been in trial, but appreciate everybody.
Speaker 2: What about you, Ryan, where do you come down on
Speaker 2: the droneage.
Speaker 3: I think Donald Trump's exactly right because he was asked
Speaker 3: at a separate point in the press confer or something
Speaker 3: not too far away from that question if he's been
Speaker 3: receiving intel briefs on the matter, and he declined to
Speaker 3: respond to that. But you could hear us answer right there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: he knows, he knows that the government knows, and they're
Speaker 3: not telling us.
Speaker 4: Everything they know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you know his choice of words. There's
Speaker 1: a reason they've decided not to, and he obviously doesn't
Speaker 1: think that's a very good reason. Texter to DN five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine. Apparently, unlike manned aircraft, drones are
Speaker 1: not required to have a transponder, which, when created by radar,
Speaker 1: gives up all info concerning the drone.
Speaker 2: That from Bob in ar Veda, my prediction is not.
Speaker 1: Exactly going out on any limb here, that we're soon
Speaker 1: going to see lots of legislation on drones.
Speaker 2: Do you own a drone? I don't, Kelly, do you
Speaker 2: own a drone?
Speaker 8: We do, But it's a really like it's like Fisher Price.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, yeah, weird because I always love all
Speaker 1: the different gadgets and stuff, and I don't own a
Speaker 1: drone and they never got me one for like Father's
Speaker 1: Day or Chris miss They're probably afraid or Dan smash
Speaker 1: it through a window or well.
Speaker 8: I will say that when I used to produce live
Speaker 8: broadcasts and you know, events and those types of things,
Speaker 8: we used to use drones to do time lapse, yeah, photography,
Speaker 8: and we used to hubver them over ballrooms and to
Speaker 8: basically film the setup and the takedown ye shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, our experts use them all the time, obviously
Speaker 1: acident reconstruction stuff like that, but just never had one
Speaker 1: of my own.
Speaker 2: So what do you think it is and why do
Speaker 2: you think it is?
Speaker 1: President Trump today confirming implicitly that the government knows what
Speaker 1: they are and has just decided not to announce that yet.
Speaker 1: Dan thoughts on national security accounts advisors, saying Joe Biden
Speaker 1: cannot even say a sentence and did not understand even
Speaker 1: basic words in meetings. How can Joe be allowed to
Speaker 1: make decisions and pardon people he shouldn't be.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, one of.
Speaker 1: The reasons that Democrats got voted out there are many,
Speaker 1: is that they become a lawless party, and look at
Speaker 1: lawless Mike Johnson and Denver, you know, promising to mountain
Speaker 1: insurrection and send Denver PD out to fight federal law enforcement,
Speaker 1: calling on fifty thousand Denver rights to join him. I
Speaker 1: mean the Democratic Party, not the Democrat I'll sleep with tonight,
Speaker 1: though rumor issues become unaffiliated. Maybe I'll ask her that tonight.
Speaker 1: We try to stay away from politics in any form.
Speaker 1: But the point being that that there's become this kind
Speaker 1: of presumption within the Democratic Party that the laws don't.
Speaker 2: Apply to them.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, if the law, if this was a
Speaker 1: rule of law type of party in power right now,
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, Joe Biden would have been removed from
Speaker 1: office a long time ago. He clearly should not be
Speaker 1: allowed to continue per the twenty fifth Amendment, and allowing
Speaker 1: him to continue jeopardizes this nation and the world.
Speaker 2: It's that simple.
Speaker 1: A five for zero five A two five five text
Speaker 1: d an five seven seven three nine. But assuming that
Speaker 1: the country survives it, what poetic justice that that is
Speaker 1: helping to bring down the Democratic Party as the ruling party,
Speaker 1: their their lawlessness. Dan King Solomon would move the time
Speaker 1: half hour to be in the middle of standard and
Speaker 1: daylight savings times. That's from Brian. What would you call
Speaker 1: it then? What would you call it if it's not
Speaker 1: standard time and it's not daylight savings time. I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear from people what they would call that. Dan,
Speaker 1: congrats on you's consecutive seven figure win. Oh, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. Signed by Dan. Yeah, no, wonderful. I'm getting
Speaker 1: better at text. No, that's from Alexa. Thank you, Alexa
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And Heidi Keg b B George and Deborah
Speaker 1: Flora who filled in last week. So I want to
Speaker 1: get you some more Trump sound because it's Trump's sound,
Speaker 1: But then I gotta get to this one. I think
Speaker 1: this is such a positive development in America for ABC
Speaker 1: having to pay Trump fifteen million for that information. And
Speaker 1: again this goes to what I was talking about a
Speaker 1: second ago. Democratic Party locally here in Colorado as well
Speaker 1: as nationally has become lawless, and it's also.
Speaker 2: Become untethered from the truth.
Speaker 1: And in fact, the modern left, not your typical Democrat,
Speaker 1: views the truth as weakness. They feel they can lie
Speaker 1: about anybody any time, and including some in their media
Speaker 1: arm and they act as if there is no there
Speaker 1: is no remedy for a public figure who's defame. But
Speaker 1: while the standard is very hard to reach, this actual
Speaker 1: malice standard, which by the way, doesn't have much to
Speaker 1: do with as typical malice as although I hate that
Speaker 1: guy can amalice it as a different legal meaning. But no,
Speaker 1: there still is a standard, and I'm so happy to
Speaker 1: see Trump enforcing that against ABC because our society will
Speaker 1: be far better off when as much of the professional
Speaker 1: lying as possible is squeezed out and the less Right now,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's central to their playbook. They will make
Speaker 1: anything up at any time to advance their cause, knowing
Speaker 1: the media will not call them on it, and it's
Speaker 1: become a staple of their playbooks. So one of the
Speaker 1: many lasting gifts from President Trump is is fighting back
Speaker 1: against that. So great to see that, and not just
Speaker 1: because it's making a bunch of lefty heads explode, but
Speaker 1: just great to see it for the future of America
Speaker 1: if we see more of it, and I sure hope
Speaker 1: that we do. KI five for zero five A two
Speaker 1: five five Textdan five seven seven three nine Texter says,
Speaker 1: if we take the textures suggestion and split it a
Speaker 1: half an hour between daylight savings time and standard time,
Speaker 1: we just call that time. I don't think we could
Speaker 1: just call time because whatever we call just time would
Speaker 1: have to be just normal time without any adjustment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: US sending a drone detection system to New Jersey. Well
Speaker 1: wait a second, if if the US already knows what
Speaker 1: these are, and if they're not government drones, why are
Speaker 1: they sending a drone detection system to New Jersey? And
Speaker 1: then what's the point of the detection system if you're
Speaker 1: not going to shoot it down?
Speaker 2: So I want to hear from you on all of this.
Speaker 2: What do you think the drones are?
Speaker 1: And why? So many cool things over the weekend, the
Speaker 1: tremendous pro life story from Hunter Travis Hunter's mom. I
Speaker 1: was about to say, Hunter Biden's here on the Dan
Speaker 1: Capitalist Show.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Question to Trump about preemptive strikes against ARONO.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a wonderful question, But how can I
Speaker 7: Am I going to do preemptive strikes?
Speaker 2: Why would I say that?
Speaker 7: Can you imagine if I said yes or no, you'd
Speaker 7: say that was strange that he answer to that, quy
Speaker 7: am I going to do preemptive strikes?
Speaker 2: On Iran, is that a serious question? How could I
Speaker 2: answer a question like that? And we'll get back to
Speaker 2: more of that.
Speaker 1: Sound Okay, I have to tell you we're about to
Speaker 1: talk to a woman named Rachel Gurley and she's from
Speaker 1: Saint Rafael's, which and she'll explain the amazing work they do.
Speaker 1: And before you bail, thinking, hey, this is another PSA,
Speaker 1: I'd ask you to stay for this and here's why
Speaker 1: because I went to a dinner that was a fundraiser
Speaker 1: for Saint Raphael's and I've got to tell you there
Speaker 1: are so many great causes, but I was blown away
Speaker 1: by what these people do. So please just stay and
Speaker 1: listen to it for a couple of reasons. One is
Speaker 1: I think you'll find it fascinating, you'll be impressed, you
Speaker 1: might know of somebody who has a need for it,
Speaker 1: and you might want to support it. So let's go
Speaker 1: to Rachel Gurley, who's kind enough to join us from
Speaker 1: Saint Rafael's.
Speaker 2: Rachel, welcome to the dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: I thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, can you tell people a little bit about what
Speaker 1: you do because I was at that masquerade five and
Speaker 1: I knew you guys did great counseling work. But I
Speaker 1: was just totally blown away by by the scope of it.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 9: So my experience with counseling is that I didn't know
Speaker 9: why people needed it before I needed it. I had
Speaker 9: a domestic violent situation that I ended up in counseling for,
Speaker 9: and most importantly Catholic counseling because I had an experience
Speaker 9: with Saint Michael that just made it. If I would
Speaker 9: have gone to a secular organization, I probably would have been,
Speaker 9: you know, in the linea bin.
Speaker 5: So yeah, but they.
Speaker 9: I've been in counseling there since the event happened and
Speaker 9: really worked through a lot of stuff. My three children
Speaker 9: have also been involved in the counseling. One of my
Speaker 9: children was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. He had been
Speaker 9: looked in with a counselor through his Catholic school, which
Speaker 9: was really beautiful because once the event happened that we
Speaker 9: really really needed to go, he was already already in
Speaker 9: with somebody, already comfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and your story that I heard, Rachel Gurley's story
Speaker 1: at this fundraiser for Saint Raphael counseling was just so
Speaker 1: moving and powerful. And then I think we have doctor
Speaker 1: Michelle Connor Harris with us as well, who's director of
Speaker 1: Saint Raphael Counseling doctor do we have you And she'll
Speaker 1: be able to just explain and broader detail, you know
Speaker 1: what they do there. But Rachel, bottom line, how much
Speaker 1: of a difference maker was it in all of your lives?
Speaker 9: Tremendous, tremendous. We are still in counseling. It's been three
Speaker 9: years since the awful event happens that we It just
Speaker 9: helped us really unpack what happened and how to process
Speaker 9: and how to move on with life, and just just
Speaker 9: to know that we have people like we go once
Speaker 9: a week generally, we can go every other week. We
Speaker 9: can go twice a week if we need to.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And the beautiful thing was when we first started going,
Speaker 9: we didn't have insurance and so they were able to
Speaker 9: help us out. They were like, don't worry about that,
Speaker 9: like you need, you need treatment, We're going to help
Speaker 9: you and we'll worry about the money later, right, And
Speaker 9: it was just so such a beautiful thing to be
Speaker 9: on the receiving end of.
Speaker 1: Well and thank you and thank you for sharing the story.
Speaker 1: And we'll have others from Saint Raphael on as well.
Speaker 1: Because I think they just do heroic work and help
Speaker 1: you have a great Christmas.
Speaker 9: Thank you too, Americ Christmas.
Speaker 2: Great talking to you you too. Thank you.
Speaker 1: That's Rachel and again Saint Raphael Counseling. It's through Catholic
Speaker 1: Charities of Denver. If you get a chance to check
Speaker 1: out the website, we'll have somebody on, you know, who
Speaker 1: can give an overview of everything they do. But I
Speaker 1: just think, because you know, just from your life right now,
Speaker 1: you probably know so many people and it just probably
Speaker 1: it all walks of life who have some kind of
Speaker 1: mental health challenge and then an even bigger challenge trying
Speaker 1: to find a good place to get care and treatment.
Speaker 1: And here they provide that a focus as well on
Speaker 1: young people. But it also has this faith perspective as well.
Speaker 1: And I know you've got a lot of folks who
Speaker 1: are concerned that if they pursued some kind of mental
Speaker 1: health care and it didn't have that faith perspective, would
Speaker 1: it really align with them? So they truly do absolutely
Speaker 1: heroic work. Hey, let's pop up to Highland's ranch talk
Speaker 1: to Carly.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan capitalis. She'll welcome Carly.
Speaker 6: Dan. I just want to say my prayers have just
Speaker 6: been all day with those families. And was it Madison, Yeah,
Speaker 6: they shooting took place.
Speaker 2: Madis there? Yeah, I was there this morning. It's just
Speaker 2: a cold, dreary, freezing, rainy count of day.
Speaker 10: Just breaks my heart.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know.
Speaker 1: And the last guy I heard it was a seventeen
Speaker 1: year old girl, right, a seventeen year old girls shooter?
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh God?
Speaker 6: And Christmas time. I mean, it's horrible at the time,
Speaker 6: but watahan a lighter? Note the reason I called I
Speaker 6: hate daylight savings.
Speaker 2: I hope, I hope.
Speaker 6: I wanted it for years. Get rid of it.
Speaker 1: I don't like it, even though it'll mean seven thirty
Speaker 1: sunsets at the peak of summer.
Speaker 6: But see, I'm not a summer person anyway. I love cold,
Speaker 6: I love the fall, I love winter. I don't like
Speaker 6: daylight saving stuff.
Speaker 1: Wow, well, Carly, you're not alone. I just wonder how
Speaker 1: many people appreciate the.
Speaker 6: Full impact more than you think, because I've seen it
Speaker 6: online and everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they were. Here's here's the question.
Speaker 1: Because we've been batting this issue around on air for
Speaker 1: years and I never realized till this weekend it would
Speaker 1: mean the latest sunset in the summer in Colorado is
Speaker 1: seven thirty pm.
Speaker 2: We just can't do that, of course we can't. Oh yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4: Well we will.
Speaker 6: I mean the premise of daylight savings time was gone
Speaker 6: a long time ago. Anyway, I had to do with
Speaker 6: farmers and the kids working out in the fields and yeah,
Speaker 6: like you, I'm from Illinois, so I know where where
Speaker 6: our speak. Yeah, farming daily. So anyway, I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I hopefully it Okay, thank you, Carly. I'm afraid your
Speaker 1: side is winning. But once people realize it means seven
Speaker 1: thirty latest sunset in the summer, that's just to me,
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of the most exquisite time of the
Speaker 1: year other than Christmas Eve, just those late summer nights
Speaker 1: eight five five for zero five eight two five five
Speaker 1: of the number so much.
Speaker 2: I want to get your take on today after a
Speaker 2: week away at trial. Yeah, how weird that.
Speaker 1: I was in Madison, Wisconsin this morning, and boy it
Speaker 1: was an ugly morning. But I left obviously before that
Speaker 1: school shooting news broke, and we're keeping an eye on
Speaker 1: that for you see, if we can get any more
Speaker 1: word on the shooter, we know it's a seventeen year
Speaker 1: old female. What we don't know at this point is
Speaker 1: whether she was a student at that Christian school that
Speaker 1: got shot up. Too dead at this point, including the perpetrator.
Speaker 1: But I think it's six others seriously wounded, some life threatening.
Speaker 2: Texter says Dan. I think the drones are just a distraction.
Speaker 1: While everyone is busy talking about the drones, no one
Speaker 1: is paying attention to what Biden and the Democrats are
Speaker 1: doing to hinder the incoming administration. Tremendous amounts of taxpayer
Speaker 1: money being spent, wasted, the wall materials are being sold
Speaker 1: in the list keeps growing. That from Sarah Sarah, what
Speaker 1: a smart, smart text, because is it a reasonable possibility
Speaker 1: that this whole drone thing if it is some kind
Speaker 1: of government operation and the government denies that that it
Speaker 1: is intended as a distraction, Because look at the the
Speaker 1: stuff you have Biden doing right now, the people he's
Speaker 1: giving pardons to. I mean, how can you be pardoning
Speaker 1: a judge who was putting kids in jail to get kickbacks,
Speaker 1: you know, how can you be pardoning some of these
Speaker 1: other people? I mean, there's so much, so enough pieces
Speaker 1: of the wall, you know, for pennies on the dollar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot you would think the Biden administration would
Speaker 1: want to distract from.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if this drone thing is part
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 1: I do think Trump's hundred percent correct and the sound
Speaker 1: we just played that the government knows where these things
Speaker 1: are taken off, from where they're going back to whose
Speaker 1: they are. I do think Trump's absolutely right about that.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 1: The radical of revolutionists want us to become used to
Speaker 1: the Hulham drones that will not think anything of them
Speaker 1: until they swarm the inauguration. Word is circulating that there
Speaker 1: is a complete Democrat boycott of the inauguration. Only Republicans
Speaker 1: will be at risk. Interesting, I do not fear any
Speaker 1: kind of drone attack at the inauguration. In terms of Democrats,
Speaker 1: that's boycotting it. I hope every single Democrat in America boycotts,
Speaker 1: boycott's that inauguration, because that'll just make them easier to
Speaker 1: beat next time. Because right now, right now America, majority
Speaker 1: of Americans they're behind Trump. They want to give Trump
Speaker 1: a chance, they want them to get it done, they
Speaker 1: want them to succeed. The latest polling I saw, which
Speaker 1: was even a CNBC poll, had that number at fifty
Speaker 1: four percent. I'll bet that the quiet support just really
Speaker 1: hoping that Trump's able to get it done, goes far
Speaker 1: higher than that. So I hope every single Democrat boycotts
Speaker 1: and make them so much easier to beat in the future. Dan,
Speaker 1: if you don't know what Project Bloombeam is, you're about
Speaker 1: to find out that from Natalie Ryan. Have you heard
Speaker 1: about Project Bluebeam?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, Norvi, Maybe somebody can educate us. I hope I
Speaker 1: didn't just walk into one there. Hey, when we come back,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about at the broader significance and
Speaker 1: I think great importance to the country of Trump veiling
Speaker 1: against ABC. They had to write a fifteen million dollar
Speaker 1: check to him for defaming him. You're on The Dankapla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to The Dan Kapla Show Podcast.
Speaker 2: Four fifty one. Glad you're here man. It's great to
Speaker 2: be back in the saddle.
Speaker 1: Thanks to KBB, thanks to George, Thanks to Deborah Flora,
Speaker 1: Thanks to Heidi Ganov for filling in last week while
Speaker 1: I was in trial, and thank you God we were
Speaker 1: blessed with another great trial victory for some amazing people.
Speaker 2: Great to be back with you with so much going
Speaker 2: on in the news.
Speaker 1: I would just literally beg your indulgence on this because
Speaker 1: the person I'm about to introduce you to does such
Speaker 1: phenomenally great work, and you probably know somebody who is
Speaker 1: mentally ill. I'm just telling you that this is truly
Speaker 1: the work of angels. They do at Saint Raphael's Counseling,
Speaker 1: I have doctor Michelle Connor Harris, and I'd love for
Speaker 1: you to hear about this for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 1: One is you may know somebody who would benefit from
Speaker 1: what Saint Rafael's does.
Speaker 2: The other, obviously is I'd.
Speaker 1: Love to have you donate to Catholic charities and our
Speaker 1: firm will be matching contributions up to one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars total that you make Right now go to Ccdenver
Speaker 1: dot org slash capitalist match doctor doctor Harris.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the dan Kaplis. She'll appreciate your time.
Speaker 10: Oh hi, thanks Dan, Thanks, And.
Speaker 1: I do have to tell you, I mean, one of
Speaker 1: the coolest things over the decades has been going to
Speaker 1: different charity dinners, and there's so much great work being
Speaker 1: done in town by so many different groups.
Speaker 2: I was truly blown away when I went to the
Speaker 2: dinner a.
Speaker 1: Few weeks ago the Masquerade Ball to benefit Saint Rafael's
Speaker 1: by just the breadth and depth of what you do
Speaker 1: and just the amazing good work. So if you can't
Speaker 1: just give people an overview of that and tell them
Speaker 1: how if they know somebody who needs it, they might be.
Speaker 2: Able to plug in.
Speaker 10: Sure, I'd be happy to. We are the largest Catholic
Speaker 10: therapy practice in the country, so we have both outpatient
Speaker 10: therapy clinic for children, teens, couples and families. We have
Speaker 10: eight locations across the Denver metro area. We also can
Speaker 10: see people via telehealth options as well. We also have
Speaker 10: school counselors who are serving eighteen Catholic school again across
Speaker 10: the Archdiocese of Denver. So we really are able to
Speaker 10: meet the mental health crisis with faith based options.
Speaker 1: And let's talk This is doctor Michelle Connor Harris, director
Speaker 1: of Saint Raphael Counseling. Let's talk about that faith based
Speaker 1: piece for a second, because I'm no expert in this field,
Speaker 1: but I think there are an awful lot of people
Speaker 1: who hesitate to get professional in mental health help because
Speaker 1: they're afraid that it may not be consistent with their faith.
Speaker 10: Agreed. I mean really, and the climate that we're in
Speaker 10: right now, just I think more and more people are concerned,
Speaker 10: especially parents. Where do we send our children and our
Speaker 10: teens that are really struggling with so many challenges right
Speaker 10: now and feeling comfortable that they're going to get care
Speaker 10: that is not going to be guiding a young person
Speaker 10: away from what we believe to be true about the
Speaker 10: nature of the human person.
Speaker 1: Boy, that is so vital, absolutely so vital. So take
Speaker 1: us if you if you would doctor into some of
Speaker 1: the mechanics of this. If if people are seeking this
Speaker 1: help from Saint Raphael's, how do they plug in?
Speaker 10: Yeah, so they can just give us a call. We
Speaker 10: have a live receptionist who will answer their call or
Speaker 10: return their call seven to zero three seven seven one three.
Speaker 6: Five nine, or they can go to our website at.
Speaker 10: Www dot sat Rafael Counseling dot com and they can
Speaker 10: input their information there and they will get a response back.
Speaker 10: We can usually have people seen within forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: Wow, and is there and without preaching and I know
Speaker 1: you wouldn't to any confidentiality. I cannot even imagine what
Speaker 1: you've seen and heard over the years and the heartbreak,
Speaker 1: but the fulfillment that you and others must get from helping.
Speaker 1: Is there one particular moment or encounter that stands out
Speaker 1: for you one happy ending.
Speaker 10: Well, there are so many, honestly, and it's really such
Speaker 10: an amazing opportunity to be able to bring the faith
Speaker 10: together with psychology because we need those tools from mental
Speaker 10: health experts. But when you invite Jesus in, or you
Speaker 10: invite God in, the changes and transformations are absolutely amazing.
Speaker 10: And so I mean, I've seen people burdened with decades
Speaker 10: of trauma or other kinds of mental health challenges through
Speaker 10: no fault of their own, fe liberated at the end
Speaker 10: of a course of therapy. And I would say that myself,
Speaker 10: and I know my other therapists who work with me
Speaker 10: agree we're merely instruments, right, and so we're able to
Speaker 10: just use the skills that we've developed and ask the
Speaker 10: Holy Spirit to work through us, and amazing things can
Speaker 10: happen for people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, sometimes separately, I'd love to get
Speaker 1: you in studio and just deep dive that a little bit,
Speaker 1: because obviously I share your core belief, but the intersection
Speaker 1: between the counseling and the faith piece of it is
Speaker 1: so fascinating. It makes perfect sense to me that that
Speaker 1: would love to explore that further sometime. But thank you again,
Speaker 1: and could you give that website one more time?
Speaker 10: Yes, www dot st rafael Counseling dot com And sometimes
Speaker 10: people spell Raphael differently, so I just wanted to know
Speaker 10: st r a pH a e l Counseling dot com.
Speaker 1: Well, you truly are doing the work of angels and
Speaker 1: look forward to the next conversation.
Speaker 10: Well, thanks so much, Dan, and we are blessed to
Speaker 10: have a supporter like you.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I mean, truly, what they do over there is it
Speaker 1: makes uh, well, it makes me and I think just
Speaker 1: about anybody feel really inadequate when you look at all
Speaker 1: the great work they're doing. And again, if you want
Speaker 1: to support them Ccdenver dot org. That's for Catholic Charities
Speaker 1: of Denver dot org. If you want to to double
Speaker 1: the impact, just to a slash to capitalist match in
Speaker 1: our formal match.

Speaker 2: come back, he I want to dive into all of
Speaker 2: this hot news. What are the drones? Where are they
Speaker 2: coming from?
Speaker 1: The tremendous value to society of Trump prevailing on his
Speaker 1: defamation claim against ABC or on The Dane Capitalist Show,
