<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Dan Caplis Show. I am not Dan Capless.

<v Speaker 2>I know that all of you wonderful listeners are smart

00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 2>enough to realize it the immediate moment that I opened

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 2>my mouth. No, I am Deborah Flora is so happy

00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>to be sitting in this chier again. So enjoyed our

<v Speaker 2>time together on Tuesday. And also I'll be here with

<v Speaker 2>two pm. Looking forward to that tomorrow as well. But

14
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 2>want to jump right into this because we've got some

15
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>great guests coming up after the break. We're gonna have

16
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>John Prepregatory joining us. He was the former ice director

17
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 2>over Wyoming and Colorado, former CD six candidate. He and

18
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I actually went down to the border with a few

19
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>others when I was with a different radio station last year,

20
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 2>and so we've had a lot of great conversations about that.

21
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>And then at five o'clock, Jennifer say is going to

22
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 2>be joining me. She's the former just top notch gymnast

23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 2>who also started xx x Y as a clothing company

24
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 2>to protect women in girls' sports and safe spaces. I

25
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 2>do have one of those baseball caps. Love it, work

26
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>out with it all the time. It's very fun. But

27
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 2>you know what, let's just jump right into the show.

28
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>And I have to preface this part of it that

29
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 2>pretty much everything I've done has been for two reasons.

30
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Love of country, love of my children.

31
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>I am a mom to say the least, and when

32
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I hear stories like this, they both come together. That's

33
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>why I've been involved in educational freedom parental rights running

34
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 2>for office. I'm traveling around currently doing a lot of

35
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>national policy work in the area of school choice and

36
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>parental rights.

37
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 3>But when I share this story.

38
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>With you, the mom and me comes out even more

39
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>than the policy expert. Because the behavior of this particular

40
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 2>witness when he was in front of the House Oversight

41
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Committee about why he should receive an A I guess

42
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>you would say grade is very reminiscent of how I

43
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>had to deal with my own children. How to set

44
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the stage, this clip you're about to here is Georgia

45
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Representative Rich McCormick. He is asking the current Postmaster General,

46
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Lewis de Joy. I think that's a funny name, because

47
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 2>this clip actually brings me a lot of joy because

48
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>it's just darn funny. But here's what happened when Representative

49
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>McCormick said to the current Postmaster General, and keep us

50
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>in mind, by the way, I think we all know

51
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 2>that everything now is compared to the post Office and

52
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 2>the Postal Service as being the bottom level of customer

53
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>service and efficiency. But this is what Rich McCormick said

54
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>to him and Lewis de Joy's response when he was

55
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>asked to rate himself and he gave himself an A rating.

56
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Ryan for playing that clip number five.

57
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 4>You, sir, do not get.

58
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 5>An A grade.

59
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 4>You cannot give yourself that grade. I just think you can't.

60
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 4>You can't create your on paper, sir. I've been to

61
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 4>medical school. I bet I got my MBA.

62
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>You can't.

63
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry.

64
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 4>You were greater by the United States people and they

65
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 4>don't use your service anymore. You bankrupt. You bankrupt this

66
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 4>through your reputations. Only through your reputations, you are responsible

67
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 4>for the fall of the Postal Service.

68
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 5>And the lack of accountability is responsible.

69
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 4>So it's kind I'm trying to fix.

70
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 3>I am trying to fix.

71
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 5>On your service.

72
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 4>With all my watch the same stuff, with all the AI,

73
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 4>with all the computer systems, you're worse than if I

74
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.639
<v Speaker 4>took yourself and picked up the mail and delivered it

75
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 4>two miles down the road. That's you.

76
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 5>I hope you got that on camera.

77
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 4>This is the response that the postmaster just gave Congress

78
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 4>when he doesn't like what he hears, literally covered his

79
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 4>ears and gave himself the grade of A And with that, sir,

80
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 4>I rest good.

81
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure which part of that to address first. Now,

82
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 2>I do wish you could see this. If you haven't

83
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 2>seen it, make sure you go and you actually watch

84
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 2>the visual the visual of this interchange. So, first of all,

85
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>this is the person that is over our entire postal service.

86
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>And first of all, let's just set the stage. Since

87
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Lewis de Joy took over as a Postmaster General in

88
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty. First of all, there was a lot of

89
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>controversy about it because he actually came from the private

90
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 2>sector where he ran a competitor to the Postal Service,

91
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>so there was a.

92
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 3>Conflict of interest.

93
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Some people thought he was the first person to take

94
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 2>that role since nineteen ninety two without any previous experience

95
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>in the USPS.

96
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 3>And what did he do.

97
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 2>He continued to decline the USPS volume of service, slowed down,

98
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the turnaround he limited over time. He banned additional trips

99
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 2>to deliver mail that is not exactly great customer service.

100
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>He decommissioned hundreds of high speed mail sorting machines.

101
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Have no idea why he would do that.

102
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>And it actually increased a concern about mail and ballots

103
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 2>getting to where they needed to be in time. Now,

104
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 2>what is interesting about this is not only if you

105
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 2>hear his responses when being called on the carpet. First

106
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>of all, I love the comment you do not get

107
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 2>to grade yourself. That was the teacher comment to the

108
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>students sitting there deflecting.

109
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Then the current Postmaster General said, I just did That

110
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.680
<v Speaker 3>was his response. That's not true.

111
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>That was another response, you blamed someone else in this case,

112
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 2>namely Congress. Then he said some derogatory thing like you're

113
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 2>talking to yourself.

114
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm not kidding you.

115
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I think every mother has heard those kind of deflections.

116
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>And then when he simply put his hands over his ears,

117
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>The visual.

118
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Is absolutely studing.

119
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't know whether to laugh or cry, because, to

120
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>be honest, this is someone that is in a very

121
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>high position in the government. And when you think about

122
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>how important our postal service is now so much of

123
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>it has gone private, to see that kind of childish

124
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 2>behavior is amazing. The only thing that was missing was

125
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.879
<v Speaker 2>him putting his hands over his ears and then saying, Nana, Nana,

126
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't hear you.

127
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 3>That's basically what he was doing.

128
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 2>I tell you, I think that you know, we need

129
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 2>more moms to rise up and just put a lot

130
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 2>of people in time out. He would have been in

131
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 2>time out had I been sitting in that seat. So

132
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>there you go, another episode that builds the American's confidence

133
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>and those who are appointed to government.

134
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 3>We just want people that are good at what they do.

135
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>So here's another situation that is undermining people's confidence in

136
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 2>the current government to say the least. And many of

137
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>us have been hearing about these dozens of mysterious drones

138
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>over New Jersey and New York.

139
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 3>They're basically the two states that they're talking about.

140
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Over three thousand reports suspiciously near by the way the

141
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Picatinny Arsenal Military base, the Trump National Golf Club in

142
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 2>the area, the Verrizanto Brisno And why is this important?

143
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 2>It connects Brooklyn's US Army Garrison, Fort Hamilton and Staten Island,

144
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 2>US Coast Guard station in New York, the largest of

145
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>its kind on the East Coast. Now, I don't know

146
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>about you, but that seems like some sites that people

147
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 2>would want to look at if they were wishing us ill.

148
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Now here's the incompetence part again. While we are hearing

149
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot more from New Jersey senators and representatives who

150
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.439
<v Speaker 2>are trying to get to the bottom of this, here's

151
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 2>what we're hearing from the FBI. The FBI said these

152
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 2>drones could range from quote sophisticated state actors and adversaries

153
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 2>that want to hurt us to quote just a nuisance

154
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 2>drone that could cause harm. But they don't know the

155
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.639
<v Speaker 2>answer yet. How does this happen in the United States

156
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>of America? I mean, really, it is time that we

157
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>demand from our government. I think that's why there's going

158
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>to be a changeover. Actually, they're doing their job. When

159
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>you think about it. What is government's job in a

160
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 2>constitutional republic? It is two things.

161
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.199
<v Speaker 3>Protect the constitutional.

162
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Rights of its citizens, and protect their security. That's it

163
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 2>failing miserably. By the way, the Pentagon gave us this

164
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 2>little gem. It said, definitively it is not from a

165
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 2>foreign actor. However, they cannot tell us what it is.

166
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know how they can tell us it's

167
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.440
<v Speaker 2>definitively not from a foreign entity when they can't even

168
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>tell us what it actually is. New Jersey Congressman Jeff

169
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Andrew has stated that confidential sources that have talked to

170
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 2>him have talked about an Iran mothership that while the

171
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Pentagon is denying that it is actually off of our mainland,

172
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>all that is being said it is no longer in

173
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 2>its own port. I don't know about you, but if

174
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>you're having flashes of all kinds of disaster, movies of

175
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a mother ship and three thousand sightings of drones, well

176
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 2>you are not alone. I'm going to head to the

177
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>break early because when we come back, we're going to

178
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>have John Fabrigatory joining me. He is the former director

179
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>of ICE covering Colorado as well as Yoming. We're going

180
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>to talk about safety and security because he also served

181
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>in the Air Force in a security role as well.

182
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.559
<v Speaker 2>So when we come back, we're going to find out

183
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 2>how much confidence that John has perhaps in those statements

184
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 2>of it's not this, but we have no idea what

185
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 2>it is. Time to get better from our government. Don't

186
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>go anywhere when we come back of John Fabricatory. This

187
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 2>is Deborah Flora sitting in for Dan Caplis.

188
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.200
<v Speaker 5>And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

189
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the Dan Caplis Show. I am Deborah

190
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Flora sitting in for Dan Caplis, and we have been

191
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:59.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about things that make you go pause and lose

192
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of confidence in our current safety and security.

193
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>And I cannot think of anyone I would rather have

194
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.519
<v Speaker 2>joined me to talk about these topics than a good friend,

195
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.679
<v Speaker 2>John Fabricatory.

196
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Many of you may know him.

197
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>He is a retired field office director for the Denver

198
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 2>Office of Ice. He oversaw areas including Colorado and Wyoming,

199
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.240
<v Speaker 2>covering nearly two hundred thousand square miles and more than

200
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 2>two hundred federal employees. I did feel safer when he

201
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>was in that position, to say the least. He was

202
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>also the Republican nominee for Congressional District six against Jason Crowe.

203
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, John, thank you so much for joining me

204
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 2>and thank you for always being willing to serve our country.

205
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 3>I so appreciate it.

206
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 6>Thank you for having me on. It's just been a

207
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 6>little while since you and I have been together.

208
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we had a lot of experience with that when

209
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.240
<v Speaker 2>we were down at the border in El Paso in

210
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three and many times since then. But it's

211
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>good to do this again, and once again, thank you

212
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 2>for running. I just want to say that anyone who

213
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>gets into the arena deserves a great, great pat on

214
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 2>the back of appreciation. You ran a great race, but

215
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that you're still on the job, and I

216
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 2>want to just jump right into it. There has been

217
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot going on, obviously about our border, and when

218
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.639
<v Speaker 2>you look at the fact that you know, we've got

219
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 2>the Denver mayor, Mike Johnston, who has he's stepped back

220
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 2>from this, but he actually said that he would use

221
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Denver police to stand up against any deportation efforts. What

222
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 2>would you say, as someone who has served both in

223
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.919
<v Speaker 2>the military and the Air Force, who has served with ICE,

224
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 2>what would you say about a comment like that.

225
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.639
<v Speaker 6>It was very unnecessary and it really it shouldn't have

226
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.360
<v Speaker 6>been said. You know, I had the opportunity to work

227
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.960
<v Speaker 6>with Denver Pead hundreds of times over the years. You know,

228
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 6>when I first came to Denver in the late nineties,

229
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.480
<v Speaker 6>there were some great men and women that I got

230
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 6>to work with, great detectives, great great keep guys and

231
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.799
<v Speaker 6>girls on the street that you know, we were able

232
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 6>to solve a lot of crimes, arrest a lot of people,

233
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.440
<v Speaker 6>especially drug traffickers and the X crimes, and a lot

234
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.879
<v Speaker 6>of different things. And it's working together that keeps the

235
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:08.440
<v Speaker 6>community safe. And you know, Mike Johnson saying stuff like

236
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 6>that is it's just not good for Colorado and really

237
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 6>should not have been said.

238
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 3>No, it has been.

239
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Instead, we've been dealing with the situation and you and

240
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I've talked about this many times over the last couple

241
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 2>of years that since twenty nineteen we're basically a sanctuary

242
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 2>state where there's already prohibition between this coordination between federal

243
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement, state and local law enforcement. Let alone throwing

244
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.519
<v Speaker 2>this into the mix. I want to jump into the

245
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 2>changes that are coming. You know, when we were down

246
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>there the border together, you introduced us to so many

247
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.759
<v Speaker 2>great people. We heard that you know, a huge portion

248
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>of who were coming over from what people call the

249
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Stans Afghanistan to Jikistan, Uzbekistan, et cetera, Russia and China.

250
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 3>What do you think.

251
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 2>About Tom homan As being named by Donald Trump to

252
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>be the incoming new borders are obviously he has a

253
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>long history as a former ICE director. What do you

254
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 2>think the changes are going to be and what do

255
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you think about that selection?

256
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.960
<v Speaker 6>Tom is absolutely awesome. I have the opportunity to work

257
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 6>from many times. You know, with ICE is a cops cop.

258
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 6>He says exactly what he means, which is awesome when

259
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.559
<v Speaker 6>you're working for somebody and you know the changes that

260
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 6>he is going to make really aren't changes you am

261
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 6>forcing the law. He's just going to take the laws

262
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 6>that we have and say, hey, guys and girls, go

263
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.879
<v Speaker 6>out there and actually enforce this. Yes, it's what Trump

264
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.720
<v Speaker 6>tried to do in the first administration, but the left

265
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 6>just you know, they just rallied against them and they

266
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:36.240
<v Speaker 6>sued him hundreds of times. You know, But this time around,

267
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.279
<v Speaker 6>I think prisident Trump is way more prepared for it

268
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.639
<v Speaker 6>this time and he's not going to allow that to happen.

269
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree.

270
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Deborah Flora sitting in for Dan Campus. My guest is

271
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>John fabrigatory.

272
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 3>John.

273
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, I was talking in the opening of the

274
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>show about these drones three thousand sightings, Pentagon can't say

275
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 2>what they are, what they're not, all of these sorts

276
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 2>of things. I love that Tom Homan coming in is

277
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the new board. That means that it's not just a

278
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 2>southern border, it's a northern border. He's also going to

279
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 2>oversee maritime and aviation security. How refreshing is that after

280
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 2>a Chinese balloon just traped its way across our missile sites.

281
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:15.679
<v Speaker 3>What do you think you served in.

282
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.080
<v Speaker 2>The Air Force as a security police and security forces member.

283
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Tell me your thoughts about this whole drone siding and

284
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.679
<v Speaker 2>the lack of intel that is out there seems to

285
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>be out there about what's really going.

286
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.480
<v Speaker 6>On, And that is the key point, the last part

287
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 6>that you just said, the lack of that's what really

288
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 6>worries me. So, you know, the last few days, I've

289
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.279
<v Speaker 6>been on the phone with a lot of buddies who

290
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:42.279
<v Speaker 6>either just recently retired from the military or are still

291
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.440
<v Speaker 6>in and they are even like, we don't know what

292
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 6>this is.

293
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 3>Wow, And the fact that.

294
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 6>We don't shows how far behind we are with our

295
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 6>security methods as technology advances. Now, some of these drones

296
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 6>that they're spotting seem to be pretty advanced drones. It

297
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 6>does seem like they're your backyard type drones that you know,

298
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:08.720
<v Speaker 6>just your basic persons flying out there. So it kind

299
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 6>of worries me that our security apertures not to the

300
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 6>point where we can detect this. We know what's flying

301
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 6>up there, and we know how to keep our community

302
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.039
<v Speaker 6>safe for the potential damage that these drones can bring

303
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 6>in because remember Dubbra, these drones could be packed with explosives, right,

304
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 6>things like that. I mean, we've seen it over in

305
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.600
<v Speaker 6>Ukraine how drones are being used in warfare right now,

306
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 6>and you know, it's something that we should be highly

307
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 6>concerned about. And it worries me that there's really no

308
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.879
<v Speaker 6>effort or or even intel coming in to let the

309
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 6>American people know that we're safe from this.

310
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

311
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I mean it feels like we're going backwards. I mean,

312
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.799
<v Speaker 2>you think about under the Reagan administration, we helped Israel

313
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>build their iron dome technology, and we can't even figure

314
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>out what some drones are. Unfortunately, we have a break

315
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.480
<v Speaker 2>coming up, a heartbreak at the bottom of the hour.

316
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.559
<v Speaker 3>But I want to ask you this.

317
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of historyonics about what deportation will look like,

318
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.399
<v Speaker 2>people saying, oh, I'll stand in front of the takes

319
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 2>like Tianneman Square, and you know, federal law enforcement will

320
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 2>be firing into civilians, which is so irresponsible to say, Yeah,

321
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>tell us what you think in the last couple of

322
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>minutes here, what is this actually going to be looking like.

323
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.240
<v Speaker 6>Initially, it's going to be going after criminal aliens. That's

324
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 6>where they're going to go after people who are you know,

325
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 6>on the radar of law enforcement who are currently in

326
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.120
<v Speaker 6>many of the jails that we have right now. So

327
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.720
<v Speaker 6>that's going to be the initial drive. And then secondary

328
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.159
<v Speaker 6>to that are going to be people who have already

329
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 6>seen an immigration judge and are refusing to leave the

330
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:41.799
<v Speaker 6>United States. So not only did they break into this

331
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.679
<v Speaker 6>country illegally, they had the opportunity to see a judge,

332
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 6>and they're still refusing to follow our immigration laws. Those

333
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.559
<v Speaker 6>are who are going to go after initially, and you know,

334
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.639
<v Speaker 6>people saying that they're going to do this and that

335
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.879
<v Speaker 6>it's just immature and it's not going to happen.

336
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, it seems very irresponsible.

337
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:00.320
<v Speaker 1>You know.

338
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:02.639
<v Speaker 2>One of the last things I want to say is

339
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, thank you again for your service, John, and

340
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.079
<v Speaker 2>I hope that we see you a lot.

341
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.200
<v Speaker 3>More helping in this area.

342
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, why don't you just give a last view

343
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.559
<v Speaker 2>for folks of what we heard of who's actually coming

344
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.000
<v Speaker 2>over the border, so we can just always position this

345
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:18.759
<v Speaker 2>to our neighbors.

346
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we know we need to be concerned because it's

347
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.119
<v Speaker 6>people from all over the world that are coming across

348
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.079
<v Speaker 6>that border. And you know, the intel that we have

349
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.200
<v Speaker 6>is we're seeing, you know, people from China, people like

350
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:34.599
<v Speaker 6>you said, from the stands, there are criminal aliens coming

351
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 6>across the border. Gang members. That's who was allowed in

352
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 6>these last four years. That's who Tom Holman is going

353
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 6>to focus in on, and that's how we're going to

354
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 6>make America safer.

355
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I so appreciate Thank you so much, John, and I

356
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 2>think everybody's before that that's not even partisan, but at

357
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 2>least there's going to be a real borders are. It

358
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of makes me laugh that Kamala Harris was the

359
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.279
<v Speaker 2>last borders are and we just saw what.

360
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.079
<v Speaker 3>Happened when she was when she was in that position.

361
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, John, I appreciate your joining the show and

362
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:02.319
<v Speaker 2>thanks for your continued service.

363
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.519
<v Speaker 3>To Colorades into our country.

364
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:06.799
<v Speaker 6>Happy Holidays, Deborah.

365
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.880
<v Speaker 3>You too, Merry Christmas to you. Well, don't go anywhere.

366
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.039
<v Speaker 2>When we come back where you continue this conversation about

367
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 2>how do we secure our country.

368
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.759
<v Speaker 3>We'll be right back on.

369
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Deborah Flora sitting in for Dan Caplis.

370
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.880
<v Speaker 5>You're listening to the Dan capless Show podcast.

371
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the Dankaplis Show. I'm Deborah Flora sitting

372
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.599
<v Speaker 2>in for Dan today and so enjoying the conversations we

373
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.759
<v Speaker 2>are having. We just had John Fabricatory join us. He's

374
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.680
<v Speaker 2>a former ice director that covered the area all of

375
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Wyoming and Colorado, ran for CD six, served in the

376
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Air Force, someone who knows security, and we had a

377
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 2>great conversation. By the way, if you've missed any of

378
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 2>this or the great show that we had on Tuesday,

379
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 2>where a Dallas Jenkins, the creator of The Chosen and

380
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the director of the current Christmas movie that is in theaters,

381
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.519
<v Speaker 2>you get everywhere the best Christmas pageant ever. You can

382
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 2>see those where they are posted for podcasts. But wanted

383
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.319
<v Speaker 2>to continue this conversation because John shared and confirmed what

384
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 2>I thought was the biggest and most concerning thing about

385
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.720
<v Speaker 2>this headline going on the drones. Nearly three thousand have

386
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 2>been cited, or three thousand sightings of them, shall we

387
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>say over New Jersey and New York. Now, let's we

388
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 2>think that that's just an odd place to have them.

389
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's remember that they are suspiciously near according to sources

390
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Picatinny Arsenal Military Base and Arsenal Military Base, Trump National

391
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Golf Club in the area. We know there's already been

392
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:01.839
<v Speaker 2>threats against the President elect and former present ccident against him.

393
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.880
<v Speaker 3>The Verrizono Bridge. Now, why is that important?

394
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Because in New York it connects Brooklyn's US Army Garrison,

395
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Fort Hamilton and Staten Island's US Coast Guard station in

396
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:14.720
<v Speaker 2>New York.

397
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.799
<v Speaker 3>Now here's the problem.

398
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:21.279
<v Speaker 2>We're being told all these things that these drones are not,

399
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.880
<v Speaker 2>but we're not being told anything that they are. Case

400
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>in point, here is a clip from John Kirby. He's

401
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:34.240
<v Speaker 2>a White House National Security Communications advisor, and let's hear

402
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 2>that clip, clip number twenty four, that said, we.

403
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:39.799
<v Speaker 7>Certainly take seriously the threat that can be posed by

404
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 7>unmanned aircraft systems, which is why law enforcement and other

405
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.839
<v Speaker 7>agencies continue to support New Jersey and investigate the reports.

406
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:51.400
<v Speaker 7>Even though they have uncovered no malicious activity or intent

407
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.839
<v Speaker 7>at this particular stage. While there's no known malicious activity occurring,

408
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.000
<v Speaker 7>the reported sightings there do, however, highlight a gap in authority,

409
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 7>and so we urge Congress to pass important legislation that

410
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.799
<v Speaker 7>will extend and expand existing counter joone authorities so that

411
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.759
<v Speaker 7>we are better prepared to identify and mitigate any potential

412
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:14.039
<v Speaker 7>threats to airports or other critical infrastructure, and so that

413
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.640
<v Speaker 7>state and local authorities are provided all the tools that

414
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.559
<v Speaker 7>they need to respond to such threats as well.

415
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, there you go.

416
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 2>To me, that sounds like some good old fashioned passing

417
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.359
<v Speaker 2>of the buck, because let's just hear who he said

418
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.400
<v Speaker 2>should be a responsible for this local law enforcement, as though,

419
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.759
<v Speaker 2>by the way, our wonderful lawforcement, our police officers and

420
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.799
<v Speaker 2>others do not already have their hands full in states

421
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.960
<v Speaker 2>where there has not been a lot of support for them.

422
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Then the next one was Congress, and.

423
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>He did say, oh, we do take it very seriously,

424
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:54.160
<v Speaker 2>but the reality is this, really the American people have

425
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 2>no confidence because this is the same exact administration. Let's

426
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 2>recall this, shall we two years ago Chinese balloon the

427
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.279
<v Speaker 2>size of three school buses let's just refresh your memory.

428
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.119
<v Speaker 2>It was the size of three school buses, hovered about

429
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 2>sixty thousand feet in the air, drifting across the continental US.

430
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.000
<v Speaker 2>From reports, it started in Alaska, went all the way

431
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.119
<v Speaker 2>across down through Montana, and they didn't even bother to

432
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.799
<v Speaker 2>shoot it down until it was off of our coast. Now,

433
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:29.000
<v Speaker 2>that happened for seven days, passing over sensitive security areas

434
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:33.440
<v Speaker 2>including Maelstrom Air Force Base and Great Falls, Montana, which

435
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.279
<v Speaker 2>was a home to stockpiles of missile and nuclear defense infrastructure.

436
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.079
<v Speaker 2>What happened at the time that this was, you know,

437
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:43.440
<v Speaker 2>was going on the.

438
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Same Biden White House.

439
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 2>And this is where I have to give Kirby the

440
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Bless your Heart Award of the Day, because bless your

441
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 2>heart that you have to keep covering for this kind

442
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of ineptitude of security in this current administration. But at

443
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.240
<v Speaker 2>that time Biden claimed it was quote not a major

444
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 2>security breach. What did we find out after it was

445
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>shot down? It was communicating with China through an American

446
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Internet provider equipped with thousands of pounds of equipment, including

447
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 2>a massive surveillance payload. Well, yes, that did not turn

448
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.119
<v Speaker 2>out to be nothing to worry about. So as we're

449
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.160
<v Speaker 2>hearing this right now, they can't tell us what it is.

450
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.839
<v Speaker 2>And John Fabricatory confirmed my suspicion that that's probably the

451
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:31.079
<v Speaker 2>biggest issue right now. And now they're saying that this

452
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.319
<v Speaker 2>is really nothing to worry about. You know, it's time

453
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:41.480
<v Speaker 2>that we absolutely demand greater accountability and protection from our government.

454
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:46.359
<v Speaker 2>I keep returning to this, what is the role of government.

455
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.559
<v Speaker 2>It is not to dictate every part of our lives

456
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 2>or our constitutional representative republic is to protect our individual

457
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:59.839
<v Speaker 2>liberties and our safety and security. Let's say that under

458
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.200
<v Speaker 2>this administration that has been an abject failure. I was

459
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.720
<v Speaker 2>very encouraged by the way John Fabrigatory also shared he

460
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:09.640
<v Speaker 2>knows Tom Homan, who is going to be the incoming

461
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:13.480
<v Speaker 2>borders are. Let's remember by the way he takes that

462
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:17.480
<v Speaker 2>mantle from Kamala Harris, which.

463
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 3>Is unfortunately a low bar. He will far surpass that.

464
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:24.079
<v Speaker 2>And I love the fact that he will actually be

465
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 2>over not just the southern border, not just the northern border,

466
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:32.279
<v Speaker 2>but also maritime and aviation security. I have a feeling

467
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:38.039
<v Speaker 2>that starting January twentieth, there'll be a lot more information

468
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and a lot more action about anything that just happens

469
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.880
<v Speaker 2>to be floating over our sovereign nation.

470
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:47.240
<v Speaker 3>I certainly hope so.

471
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, switching gears by the way, speaking of borders ours Tuesday,

472
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I was sharing that the Time magazine was about to

473
00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:59.640
<v Speaker 2>announce their person of the year. We went through on

474
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday who they were looking at. One of them was

475
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris, the outgoing borders are who did not even

476
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 2>go down to the border for years, and in fact

477
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 2>actually went to Guatemala first.

478
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:13.519
<v Speaker 3>And I want to tell you.

479
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:16.720
<v Speaker 2>One of the biggest, oh biggest things that.

480
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:18.279
<v Speaker 3>Irked me when we were down there.

481
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I remember talking to a border agent and these are

482
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.839
<v Speaker 2>stoic guys that deal with constant threats. They're dealing with

483
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 2>the people they call the stands Afghanistan to Jikistan, Whuzbekistan, Russia, China,

484
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Venezuelan gangs coming over. So to see this man break

485
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 2>down in tears, and why did he under Kamala Harris

486
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.920
<v Speaker 2>as the quote unquote borders are. They so rushed through

487
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the processing because they did not want there to be

488
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 2>any children down there where it could be a bad

489
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.960
<v Speaker 2>photo op where it could look like maybe they were

490
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.039
<v Speaker 2>holding children, you know, the way that they falsely accused

491
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:57.119
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration of having children in cages. That's not

492
00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:59.960
<v Speaker 2>what it was. I saw those places firsthand, their chain

493
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>link fences just separating areas, but nobody was chained up

494
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:06.880
<v Speaker 2>or put in, you know, some kind of a cage.

495
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.680
<v Speaker 2>But what happened under the Biden administration, under Kamala Harris, well,

496
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.200
<v Speaker 2>according to this border security agent, and it is the

497
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:19.960
<v Speaker 2>reason why quietly Susan Rice retired because a report was

498
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:23.359
<v Speaker 2>going to come out that tens of thousands of children

499
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:26.039
<v Speaker 2>are now lost somewhere in America.

500
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 3>And this border patrol agent told me that they were.

501
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:33.039
<v Speaker 2>So rushed by the Trump administration to process people that

502
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 2>they actually would just hand these children off to whoever

503
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.720
<v Speaker 2>would show off show up to take them, no verification

504
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 2>process at all. So I'm happy to announce that that

505
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:50.240
<v Speaker 2>very same former borders are Kamala Harris was not chosen

506
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:53.359
<v Speaker 2>as the Time magazine Person of the Year because, as

507
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 2>we talked about, her claims to fame would have been

508
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.440
<v Speaker 2>having a one hundred and seven day presidential campaign where

509
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:02.359
<v Speaker 2>she did not receive a single vote to be the

510
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Democrat nominee, having run a one point five billion dollar

511
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.200
<v Speaker 2>spending account just in those one hundred and seven days

512
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:13.559
<v Speaker 2>and still being twenty million dollars in debt. Nope, they

513
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:16.160
<v Speaker 2>did not choose her. Well, you may have already seen.

514
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:20.079
<v Speaker 2>The other people they were considering was Joe Rogan, Kate Middleton,

515
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>who certainly our prayers go out to Kate Middleton, but

516
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.160
<v Speaker 2>would not have been my choice. Elon Musk would have

517
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.319
<v Speaker 2>been one of my choices. Benjamin Nett and Yahoo, Claudius Scheinbaum,

518
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.759
<v Speaker 2>the first woman president of Mexico, Donald Trump, and Mark Zuckerberg,

519
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and the person they named is actually Donald Trump. Nice

520
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 2>to see when they do something the right way. But

521
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the first leaks of the magazine cover had

522
00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:50.839
<v Speaker 2>this state man underneath it, President of the Divided States

523
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>of America. You know what, It's time for the mainstream

524
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:57.480
<v Speaker 2>media to pull back because they are part of what

525
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 2>is dividing us. When you see CNN, MSNBC and by

526
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 2>the way, the N in both of those stands for nonsense.

527
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.160
<v Speaker 2>When you have pundits on those shows saying that we're

528
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:14.039
<v Speaker 2>going to see American US military or federal officials shooting

529
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 2>into crowds of civilians, saying that you should cut off

530
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:20.519
<v Speaker 2>your relatives if they voted for Donald Trump. We know

531
00:28:20.599 --> 00:28:23.400
<v Speaker 2>where the division comes from, and I believe that we

532
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 2>may have an opportunity now to begin to be the United.

533
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.440
<v Speaker 3>States of America once again. Well, don't go anywhere. We're

534
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:30.240
<v Speaker 3>heading to a break.

535
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I am Deborah Flora sitting in for Dan Cappas and Hey,

536
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 2>by the way, here's your question five seven seven three

537
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 2>nine text into the show.

538
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Who do you think are behind the mystery drones? Don't

539
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.440
<v Speaker 3>go anywhere. I'm Deborah Flora sitting in for Dan Caplis.

540
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.640
<v Speaker 5>And now back to the Dankapliss Show podcast.

541
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the Dan Caplis Show. I'm Deborah Flora

542
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:57.000
<v Speaker 2>sitting in for Dan Kaplas. Love that song, Stand in

543
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 2>the place where you live, Stand in the place where

544
00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>you work.

545
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:03.200
<v Speaker 3>That is a perfect setup for the.

546
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Guests we're going to have at the top of the

547
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.720
<v Speaker 2>hour after the break. That is going to be Jennifer Say,

548
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:12.480
<v Speaker 2>who is someone who has stood up against so many

549
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:15.799
<v Speaker 2>injustices in our society, and she definitely has a message

550
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:17.799
<v Speaker 2>to encourage each and every one of us to do that.

551
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.000
<v Speaker 2>In fact, Jennifer and I recently stood together in August.

552
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I was one of the co hosts. I guess kind

553
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:28.200
<v Speaker 2>of co organizers of the first ever March for Kids

554
00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, d C. We had people like Tulca Gabbard,

555
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Glenn Beck, Jennifer Say, and others were we stood together

556
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:41.079
<v Speaker 2>to really basically advocate for this radical idea, which is

557
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.759
<v Speaker 2>parents have the right to be the ultimate authority in

558
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:47.039
<v Speaker 2>their children's upbringing.

559
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Yep, I know crazy.

560
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.519
<v Speaker 2>You would think it's crazy from all the things that

561
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.160
<v Speaker 2>are happening in our culture right now. I've often said

562
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:56.839
<v Speaker 2>that if our founding fathers ever thought that they would

563
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:01.359
<v Speaker 2>get to the place where that is even being questioned

564
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:05.000
<v Speaker 2>in the slightest they would have put parental rights in

565
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 2>the Bill of Rights. But it was unthinkable to them

566
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:10.960
<v Speaker 2>that that would happen. In fact, when you look over

567
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:16.039
<v Speaker 2>the history of Western civilization, the family is the building block.

568
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.160
<v Speaker 3>It is the building block.

569
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Of our civilization, which is perhaps why it is being

570
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:23.359
<v Speaker 2>so attacked right now. It's an area that I've been

571
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:25.799
<v Speaker 2>involved with a lot. My husband and I have a

572
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.480
<v Speaker 2>media company. We made the documentary called Whose Children Are They?

573
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why we did that is to show

574
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 2>every single area where this is being undermined. Now, what

575
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:39.440
<v Speaker 2>does this have to do with Jennifer She is standing

576
00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:43.119
<v Speaker 2>up against some of the craziness that is going on

577
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:47.359
<v Speaker 2>and protecting girls and women's sports and safe spaces. How

578
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.400
<v Speaker 2>does this intertwine with all that, Well, let's just say this.

579
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.400
<v Speaker 2>For instance, in my home school district where I went,

580
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Sherry Creed School District, there is evidence that they have

581
00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:01.039
<v Speaker 2>been socially transitioning children without their parents' knowledge or consent.

582
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:06.720
<v Speaker 2>When you have these situations going on where Title nine

583
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:11.000
<v Speaker 2>is being undermined, that is another part of this radical movement.

584
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, let's just talk a little bit about what's

585
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:14.000
<v Speaker 3>going on. As we all know.

586
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:17.640
<v Speaker 2>A little over a week ago, the US Supreme Court

587
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:21.240
<v Speaker 2>heard the Tennessee case United States Versus Scrimmetti. Now, what

588
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.440
<v Speaker 2>is this In Tennessee, there's a law prohibiting transgender medical

589
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:29.759
<v Speaker 2>procedures for miners. And what's interesting about it, it's just

590
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.319
<v Speaker 2>one of twenty five US states, Tennessee is that has

591
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:35.319
<v Speaker 2>banned gender transitions for transgender miners.

592
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:37.799
<v Speaker 3>More than fifteen have enacted.

593
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Shield laws that protect against such procedures.

594
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, here's what's interesting.

595
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Many people think, oh, you know, there's a puritanical nature

596
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.799
<v Speaker 2>of America. Let's just put this a little bit in context,

597
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 2>shall we. The United Kingdom socialist country that has led

598
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the way on some of these medical procedures, just voted

599
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:03.799
<v Speaker 2>to detect miners from puberty blockers and it will not

600
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:08.440
<v Speaker 2>allow them for children under the age of eighteen with

601
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 2>gender dysphoria. Now, their gender dysporia is a real thing,

602
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:17.079
<v Speaker 2>and any child that has it deserves support, deserves to

603
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:20.880
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of help through that process, but not

604
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.319
<v Speaker 2>necessarily irreversible medical procedures.

605
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, the UK just voted against it. And why did

606
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 3>they do that.

607
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Here is what they said, following official advice from medical experts.

608
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:35.519
<v Speaker 2>And let's be clear, because the UK is a nationalized

609
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:41.079
<v Speaker 2>socialist medicine situation, they have incredible records on this, and

610
00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:44.759
<v Speaker 2>they are reversing course because here's what they said. Quote,

611
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:49.839
<v Speaker 2>there's currently an unacceptable safety risk and the continued prescription

612
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:54.839
<v Speaker 2>of puberty blockers to children. Now, let's contrast this, shall

613
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:57.880
<v Speaker 2>we with our own Supreme Court. Now, first of all,

614
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Katanji Brown Jackson should recuse herself from this case because

615
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:04.279
<v Speaker 2>when she was confirmed, she literally said she is not

616
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:08.039
<v Speaker 2>able to define what a woman is because she's not

617
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:11.480
<v Speaker 2>a biologist. Well, if you can't define a woman because

618
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:13.640
<v Speaker 2>she's not a biologist, she should not be weighing in

619
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:19.839
<v Speaker 2>on the veracity of using this irreversible medical procedures frequently

620
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.480
<v Speaker 2>irreversible on children. And then let's let's also contrast that

621
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:31.200
<v Speaker 2>with sodomayor who compared compared this procedure, these chemicals that

622
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 2>are given surgeries, et cetera, to aspirin, saying that there

623
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 2>is always a risk with any medical procedure. Well, last

624
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:44.079
<v Speaker 2>thing I heard, aspirin is not irreversible. In fact, that's

625
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.920
<v Speaker 2>why you need to take a couple every so often

626
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 2>if you have a headache.

627
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much.

628
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 2>But let's also remember, by the way, we are more

629
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:55.519
<v Speaker 2>radical than Europe in many fronts, even when it comes

630
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:57.799
<v Speaker 2>to abortion. Let's say, wherever you are on that issue,

631
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.519
<v Speaker 2>let's just put this in context. By the way, most

632
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:05.039
<v Speaker 2>European countries have waiting periods before an abortion, and it

633
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:09.159
<v Speaker 2>is in most of them not legal after the first trimester.

634
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:12.159
<v Speaker 2>Here in Colorado up to the moment of birth for

635
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.800
<v Speaker 2>any reason at all time, to bring some common sense

636
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:18.239
<v Speaker 2>back to our state and back to our country. And

637
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 2>speaking of a last lack of common sense and the

638
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:25.239
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court, when I've led a couple of rallies on

639
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the Supreme Court steps when certain cases were being argued.

640
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.440
<v Speaker 2>One of those was the Lorie Smith case, once again

641
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:34.960
<v Speaker 2>right here in Colorado, and that was the case where

642
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 2>rightfully the Supreme Court determined they cannot force someone to

643
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:43.519
<v Speaker 2>create anything, or create a message, or speak against their

644
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:46.880
<v Speaker 2>dearly held beliefs. I got to tell you when I

645
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:50.719
<v Speaker 2>led that rally, it was one of the most frightening

646
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:51.760
<v Speaker 2>things I've actually been a.

647
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:54.239
<v Speaker 3>Part of because we had to have security as we were.

648
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Being bum rushed by those who were standing up and

649
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.400
<v Speaker 2>was predominantly for those who were pushing an ex extream

650
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:03.920
<v Speaker 2>social agenda. So you know, when we come back, we're

651
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:07.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna have Jennifer say join us. She has been fearless

652
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and courageous to speak up and say biology is not bigotrat.

653
00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:13.039
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna learn from her how we can have that

654
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:16.239
<v Speaker 2>courage and make a difference. Don't go anywhere. I'm Deborah Flora,

655
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.159
<v Speaker 2>sitting in for Dan Catlis
