Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. I hope we
Speaker 1: appreciate what we're living through right now, because I don't
Speaker 1: think we're ever going to see anything like this again,
Speaker 1: a president like this again.
Speaker 2: Ryan.
Speaker 1: See this headline that just popped up. This is the
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal story. Paramount has offered fifteen million to
Speaker 1: settle CBS lawsuit. Trump wants more. Paramount recent days has
Speaker 1: offered fifteen million to settle. According people familiar with the situation,
Speaker 1: Trump team wants more than twenty five million, and also
Speaker 1: an apology from CBS News. And I'll get into the
Speaker 1: rest of the story, but I assume this is the
Speaker 1: lawsuit over doctoring the Kamala Harris interview. Yes, so let
Speaker 1: me get to that. Trump's team has started another lawsuit
Speaker 1: against CBS related to a lite bias of its news coverage.
Speaker 1: Wednesday is the deadline for Trump to respond to Paramount's
Speaker 1: motion to dismiss Trump's lawsuit against Paramount's CBS News alleges
Speaker 1: the network deceitfully edited a sixty minutes interview with Democratic
Speaker 1: presidential candidate Kamala Harris to make her sound better, and
Speaker 1: seeks twenty billion in damages. CBS has said the broadcast
Speaker 1: was not doctored or deceitful.
Speaker 3: So Dan, between that, we'll see that's going to be settled.
Speaker 3: Paramount they know. Yeah, I mean it's like going up
Speaker 3: against Dan Kaplis in the courtroom. You don't want to
Speaker 3: do it. Don't do it, settle what are you doing?
Speaker 3: But anyway, between that and the fifteen meal that he
Speaker 3: got from George Stephanoppolis, do you think he's going to
Speaker 3: be able to recoup his legal expenses from all the lawfare?
Speaker 1: Well, what a great question. I was thinking about that
Speaker 1: this morning, when you look at how wrongfully really just
Speaker 1: just wrongfully persecuted he was and how much that cost him.
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all money secondary right, just how
Speaker 1: much that had to cost him in terms of men torment,
Speaker 1: et cetera. But then how much financially it had to cost.
Speaker 1: And I can't remember the details. I think the GOP
Speaker 1: covered some stuff, but still, and that just the blatant,
Speaker 1: raw naked effort to destroy him financially, so also wrong.
Speaker 1: I have no qualms at all with him raking in
Speaker 1: all this money, you know what I mean for a
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. First, just I think basic equity. He
Speaker 1: should he should be able to get back those losses,
Speaker 1: those scales should be balanced. But also just the message
Speaker 1: for the future. Hopefully it makes the left thing twice
Speaker 1: at least before it does this to other Conservatives and
Speaker 1: other people they don't like. You know, it's this whole
Speaker 1: politics of personal destruction from the left. So no, I
Speaker 1: am glad Trump's standing up and listen. I haven't read
Speaker 1: this lawsuit. I don't know if it is any legal
Speaker 1: merit or if it's the strongest case in legal history.
Speaker 1: All I know is clearly at this point the CBS
Speaker 1: parent wants out of it. Three out three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. I'd like to summarize the show for you,
Speaker 1: but it's impossible because it's just been everywhere at once.
Speaker 1: Right we're talking about National Hamburger Day. Had a tremendous
Speaker 1: caller who took us to this truly life and death
Speaker 1: insanity we have in Colorado where we've just kind of
Speaker 1: surrendered our roadways to reckless drivers and drug drivers and
Speaker 1: drunk drivers, and the attitude of the States seems to be, well, well,
Speaker 1: just you know, it's an acceptable casualty rate. The Democrats,
Speaker 1: you know, so pro criminal, they won't support any kind
Speaker 1: of traffic law reform that matters. So we're talking about
Speaker 1: is there a fix, a great caller for woming nest.
Speaker 1: Is there a fix? There is? And I've been laying
Speaker 1: out how we do it, and I have to believe
Speaker 1: most people across party lines would back that because they
Speaker 1: are they think they are much more likely to be
Speaker 1: a victim than a perpetrator. And the right Joe and Ourvadi,
Speaker 1: you're on the Dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 4: Welcome first, before we get into Colorado's things. Earlier you
Speaker 4: were saying the kid along, you know, nerds whatever. First,
Speaker 4: you need to be friends. You need to be friends
Speaker 4: before your lovers. That's I think a big deal.
Speaker 2: But that's my five cents anyway.
Speaker 4: So, like you guys, I'm a transplant from the Upper Midwest.
Speaker 4: Just like Ryan, I'm from Michigan and I've been here
Speaker 4: since eighty seven.
Speaker 2: And you have drilled on this numerous times, Dan, And
Speaker 2: you're so right. You're so right. I hate myself for
Speaker 2: the voting for it. I voted to approve legalization, but
Speaker 2: there was no question since then the state has Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: Gone to if What do you think, Joe, is so
Speaker 1: many good people did, in a well intentioned but I
Speaker 1: think kind of misguided way, vote for legalization. What do
Speaker 1: you think the vote would be today if Amendment sixty
Speaker 1: four was back on the ballot today? What do you
Speaker 1: think the vote would be?
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I would hope that it would be,
Speaker 2: you know, very negative it. I mean, I would hope.
Speaker 2: So you know, I have no idea, and I have
Speaker 2: no idea.
Speaker 1: I think I do, Jill. And the key to it
Speaker 1: is money. If there was equal money on both sides,
Speaker 1: sixty four gets repealed. And one reason I believe that
Speaker 1: is look at Alaska. Before Colorado made this mistake, the
Speaker 1: only state in the Union that had legalized marijuana was Alaska.
Speaker 1: And then the bodies piled up the harms. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they reversed it. And then like twenty or thirty years later,
Speaker 1: big marijuana money came in and they approved it again.
Speaker 1: But if the money was even and That's a big if,
Speaker 1: because I think the marijuana industry and the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: would spend unlimited amounts to keep it legal because the
Speaker 1: left needs it. They need a drug up population, drugged
Speaker 1: up populations, more dependent on government. That's part of the
Speaker 1: left's master plan. So I think the Left would spend
Speaker 1: twenty thirty million dollars to keep it legal here. And
Speaker 1: I don't think that money is available out there on
Speaker 1: the right.
Speaker 2: Right, And excuse me, got allergy is gonna Let me
Speaker 2: say one thing, you know, the biggest thing I think.
Speaker 2: You know, back in the day, I never smoked pot.
Speaker 2: I never liked it. I went in the Marine Corps,
Speaker 2: I had that passing, you know, but I had friends
Speaker 2: that did. It was just never my think. But way
Speaker 2: back then, you know, forty years ago, it was nothing
Speaker 2: like it is now.
Speaker 1: No, it was two to four percent leaf.
Speaker 2: Yes, like fricking poison.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What the Left is done is in this is
Speaker 1: their plan all along, is that they get it legalized
Speaker 1: under the guise of helping cancer patients. And I've never
Speaker 1: ever objected to people in true chronic pain having whatever
Speaker 1: releaf they can get. But but they use they just
Speaker 1: use those sick people as trojan horses. And then once
Speaker 1: they got it legalized, and you're looking at eighty percent
Speaker 1: ninety percent stuff parents teachers can't detect because it's oils
Speaker 1: and dabs and and and then they're they're hooking them
Speaker 1: young and they're hooking them forever. It's like Krakawana. But
Speaker 1: that was their plan all along.
Speaker 2: No, I agree, I agree. Okay, So in closing, I'd
Speaker 2: just like to say, also, you know, you know, I
Speaker 2: moved here as like I said, I grew up in
Speaker 2: you know, Michigan, like Ryan and you know Midwest, you know,
Speaker 2: and my last duty station was in Sonkel. We moved
Speaker 2: here in eighty seven. We loved it. We loved it.
Speaker 2: We loved it. We have for until maybe the last
Speaker 2: I don't know, fifteen years. It's it's not it's it's
Speaker 2: I think the pot legalization is a big issue, but
Speaker 2: also the growth. But you know, we vacation somem and
Speaker 2: Wyoming and guess what I'm going to retire not and
Speaker 2: don't get me started on.
Speaker 4: The Second Amendment stuff, yeah, or the transgender stuff.
Speaker 2: But keep in mind Colorado has lost its mind. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but keep mind that it's thick and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, part of what they trying to do is run
Speaker 1: you out. That's part of what the left is trying
Speaker 1: to do is run you out.
Speaker 4: And so but tell you know, I mean, there's what
Speaker 4: am I supposed to do?
Speaker 2: Am I supposed to you know?
Speaker 1: No, that that's a great question, because Amy and I
Speaker 1: thank you, Joe, I got to pop a break Amy
Speaker 1: and I you know I did talked about that before,
Speaker 1: you know, with if if we were just having our
Speaker 1: kids now, would we stay? Right, because our kids were
Speaker 1: born before legalization and all of that, If if we
Speaker 1: were having our kids now, would we stay It would
Speaker 1: have to be a very significant conversation. I thank God literally,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you the truth. Every single day
Speaker 1: I have woken up in the state of Colorado, I
Speaker 1: have thank God for being here. It is just phenomenal. Right, Uh,
Speaker 1: but but you love your kids more than anything on earth,
Speaker 1: and it's just so much more danger to your kids
Speaker 1: in a cave in a state like this where you
Speaker 1: have that legalization and you have the green light effect
Speaker 1: and because you can take the best kid in the
Speaker 1: world with the best parents, and those chemicals take over
Speaker 1: and at that point there are no guarantees on anything, right,
Speaker 1: I know, there never are anyway. But all I'm saying
Speaker 1: is the heightened danger to kids. And then you add
Speaker 1: in the craziness on our roadways, which intersects with Colorado
Speaker 1: now becoming a state that chlorifies drugs so much and
Speaker 1: that works its way into roadway carnage. So I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to be negative. I'm just trying to be honest
Speaker 1: about what our problems are. And they are fixable. But
Speaker 1: is the will there to do it? I think it
Speaker 1: is with the people, But how do you get around
Speaker 1: the politicians? Here on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast, A lot.
Speaker 1: Of it in life and death, A lot of it's
Speaker 1: just fun. It is National Hamburger Day, so we're taking
Speaker 1: calls and text on the best Burger in Colorado three
Speaker 1: oh three seven three eight two five five text d
Speaker 1: An seventy nine. I think a lot of people would
Speaker 1: probably say they're a grill, because truly they've got their
Speaker 1: own way and they've done it and that's what they've
Speaker 1: got down and I get it. So they're not calling
Speaker 1: because they don't want us all going over to their house.
Speaker 1: Really an important lawsuit, I believe will succeed filed today
Speaker 1: by xx x Y Athletics. You know we've had the
Speaker 1: owner on before. It's this a woman owned company, this
Speaker 1: woman owned company that does stands up for women and
Speaker 1: stands up for women in women's sports, and it has
Speaker 1: a clothing line and you know formed by I took
Speaker 1: a former Levi's exac or CEO. Anyway, they're sue in
Speaker 1: the state of Colorado, working with Alliance Defending Freedom. They're
Speaker 1: sue in the state of Colorado for infringement of their
Speaker 1: constitutional First Amendment right to free speech. And then there
Speaker 1: are some other legal claims as well. But I think
Speaker 1: what you're be most interested in is why and what
Speaker 1: it's over. It's over thirteen twelve. You know, this horrific
Speaker 1: house built thirteen twelve that does so many bad things.
Speaker 1: But at the heart of it, it's designed to punish speech.
Speaker 1: It's designed to punish people for speaking the truth. It's
Speaker 1: designed to censor people. It's this bill, and I think
Speaker 1: the lawsuit gets it right. It's this bill that would
Speaker 1: force a company to say that somebody is a woman
Speaker 1: when they're really a man. And so let me quote
Speaker 1: and I won't get all legalistic here. The lawsuit's really
Speaker 1: well drawn, and I think we're going to have an
Speaker 1: alliance defending freedom attorney with us tomorrow. But in part,
Speaker 1: you know, this lawsuit says Colorado officials hold a different view.
Speaker 1: Colorado recently passed HB twenty five thirteen twelve and amended
Speaker 1: the Colorado Anti Discrimination Act KATA to define quote gender
Speaker 1: expression to include chosen name and quote how an individual
Speaker 1: chooses to be addressed. The Act then declares that Colorado's
Speaker 1: have a right to access quote public accommodations and advertising
Speaker 1: free of discrimination on that basis. This expresses the legislature's
Speaker 1: intent that it be illegal for public accommodations like xx
Speaker 1: XY Athletics in their advertising and elsewhere, to refer to
Speaker 1: transgender identifying individuals with their given names or with biologically
Speaker 1: accurate language. XXXY Athletics can no longer speak the truth
Speaker 1: in pursuit of its mission. XXXY Athletics can no longer
Speaker 1: call men men. Even worse, the coerce is the company
Speaker 1: to speak against its principles and alter the meaning of
Speaker 1: its core message. If XX refuses, the company faces ceased
Speaker 1: and desist orders, expensive investigations, hearings, in civil and criminal penalties,
Speaker 1: Colorado officials have not hesitated to go after businesses for
Speaker 1: violating the same loan in the past, torching the First
Speaker 1: Amendment in the process. Us Whether men says the lawsuit
Speaker 1: should be allowed to compete in women's sports is a
Speaker 1: political and cultural question of great importance. The government has
Speaker 1: no need or right to compel or silence speech, or
Speaker 1: to place a thumb, parenz or an anvil on one
Speaker 1: side of that debate. Our constitution demands better. It gives
Speaker 1: women and every American the right to speak the truth.
Speaker 1: X x X Y Athletics asks for that right to
Speaker 1: be restored in Colorado. Beautifully said. But you know, as
Speaker 1: we've talked about before, that the left knew this thing
Speaker 1: was unconstitutional the day they passed it. But the process
Speaker 1: is the punishment, right, So they censor a bunch of people,
Speaker 1: they scare a bunch of people into silence, and then
Speaker 1: those who decide to fight them and they have to
Speaker 1: spend years in the courts and lots and lots of money.
Speaker 1: That's the whole con with the left. So hey, thank goodness,
Speaker 1: x Y Athletics wish it was an easier name to say,
Speaker 1: but very glad that alliance defending freedom. Have teed this
Speaker 1: one up three or three someone three eight, two, five
Speaker 1: five the number one. It gets you some sound of
Speaker 1: the day, that there's so much going on on so
Speaker 1: many different fronts. This bite perplexes me a little bit.
Speaker 1: Ryan cut thirty, please cut thirty. Trump says they'll take
Speaker 1: a look at pardoning the people accused of. Oh you don't,
Speaker 1: you don't have thirty, Okay, all right, No, I just
Speaker 1: just curious, just curious. Mine wasn't scrolling that far. Oh
Speaker 1: it's back. It must be your mere presence, my friend
Speaker 1: scared it into compliance.
Speaker 6: Will you pardon the people who are accused of conspired
Speaker 6: to kidnap Mision Governor Gresha Whimmer.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna look at it. I will take a look
Speaker 7: at it. It's been brought to my attention. I did
Speaker 7: watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of
Speaker 7: a railroad job. I'll be honest with you. It looks
Speaker 7: to me like some people said some stupid things. You know,
Speaker 7: they were drinking, and I think they said stupid things.
Speaker 7: But I'll take a look at that. And a lot
Speaker 7: of people are asking me that question from both sides. Actually,
Speaker 7: a lot of people think they got reil roaded. A
Speaker 7: lot of people think they got rail roaded, and probably
Speaker 7: some people don't.
Speaker 1: Interesting the President has become pretty chummy with Gretchen Whitmer, right.
Speaker 1: I think they've had some joint appearances and things like that.
Speaker 3: She was really careful with her language welcoming him to Michigan,
Speaker 3: making a joint appearance before some members of the military,
Speaker 3: and she was grateful that he was there, but she
Speaker 3: stopped short of thanking him, the President, from being there.
Speaker 3: She just said something like, I'm glad that they are
Speaker 3: being recognized.
Speaker 1: It was really tortured her language there. Okay, so no
Speaker 1: big song. James comy on with Wolf Flitzer.
Speaker 6: You said you willingly met with the US Secret Service
Speaker 6: about all of this, and you took the post down
Speaker 6: and said you did not realize at the time it
Speaker 6: could be associated potentially with violence, and you assumed it
Speaker 6: was a political message.
Speaker 1: What did you think the message was.
Speaker 8: I thought it was a message of political opposition to
Speaker 8: Donald Trump, done in a very clever way in seashells
Speaker 8: on a gigantic beach. And I had never heard, actually
Speaker 8: still haven't incredibly heard the numbers eighty six associated with murder.
Speaker 1: This guy's a former FBI director. Is there one living
Speaker 1: creature who believes what he just said?
Speaker 8: But if people were going to say that, which never
Speaker 8: occurred to me, I don't want that on my Instagram post,
Speaker 8: and so I took it down.
Speaker 6: What do you say to those who are claiming you're
Speaker 6: seeking the spotlight with posts like that and speaking out
Speaker 6: against the President Trump, I.
Speaker 8: Don't get that. My Instagram posts are a series of
Speaker 8: family politics and books, and so I want my followers,
Speaker 8: which is not the world, to follow it and to
Speaker 8: be amused by it, educated by it, enjoy it.
Speaker 1: That's my goal with Instagram. You know, Trump has done
Speaker 1: so many things which are going to benefit this country
Speaker 1: long term, and one of them is opening the eyes
Speaker 1: of a lot of people, including me, I mean before Trump.
Speaker 1: And part of it is probably being the son of
Speaker 1: a great great cop, thirty year Chicago cop, great great cop. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I could not have conceived before Trump, you know, uncovered
Speaker 1: and revealed the truth that you could have so many
Speaker 1: people at the very top levels of some law enforcement
Speaker 1: agencies like the FBI, you know who who were I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about legally prosecutable, maybe, but corrupt. I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about your typical FBI agent. They're heroes. But Trump
Speaker 1: revealed that you had that kind of rod at the top,
Speaker 1: and Kmy is exhibit A. Anybody listening, anybody honest listening,
Speaker 1: knows that he knew exactly what he was doing. He
Speaker 1: was trying to encourage the assassination of Trump. He was
Speaker 1: trying to get attention for himself, all knowing he couldn't
Speaker 1: be successfully prosecuted because he would say political speech. Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, I could never know and to think that
Speaker 1: guy was at the top. But I think Trumping revealing
Speaker 1: that in this example and other things, I think the
Speaker 1: country is going to be so much healthier for it
Speaker 1: long term, and the fact he triumphed over them in
Speaker 1: the end that that should be very encouraging for this nation.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: dam five seven seven three nine Here on the Dan
Speaker 1: Capitlis Show.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Could be talking.
Speaker 3: About Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan, railroading those who plotted
Speaker 3: to kidnap here, and among them were of course FEDS
Speaker 3: who were conspiring to entrap a couple of guys that
Speaker 3: were I think gullible enough to go along with the plot,
Speaker 3: and now he President Trump was asked whether he was
Speaker 3: going to pardon those I think it's two individuals in
Speaker 3: Michigan on all charges.
Speaker 1: And sounds like he's going to because he used that
Speaker 1: term over they sound like they got railroaded. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's interesting. I paid no attention that case,
Speaker 1: so I don't know the details of it, but you
Speaker 1: could see him being especially sensitive if he's looked at
Speaker 1: a case and think somebody has been railroaded after what
Speaker 1: he's been through. By the way, that ties into another
Speaker 1: news story today. CBS's parent paramount has offered him what
Speaker 1: fifteen million now just to settle the case. Trump sued
Speaker 1: over the deceptive editing of the Kamala Harris interview, and
Speaker 1: that was a horrible thing for CBS to do, right.
Speaker 1: I'm just not clear on what the legal cause of
Speaker 1: action is, what gives him a private right of action there,
Speaker 1: But hey, I'm glad he's pursuing it court. I think
Speaker 1: at this point obviously hasn't thrown the claim out and
Speaker 1: the CBS is offering him fifteen million. The reason I
Speaker 1: say I'm glad he's pursuing it, assuming that it's a
Speaker 1: legally legitimate claim. Is somebody's got to stand up and
Speaker 1: push back, right, and I think he has done that
Speaker 1: in so many different areas. Excuse me, that's going to
Speaker 1: benefit this whole country long term, well, not the hard left,
Speaker 1: but the sane America long term. Three out three someone
Speaker 1: three eight two five five text d an five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. We're also talking about this very important
Speaker 1: lawsuit filed by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of XXXY
Speaker 1: Athletics against the State of Colorado Overhouse Built thirteen twelve
Speaker 1: for stripping this company of its First Amendment right to
Speaker 1: speak the truths about whether in this woman's sports context,
Speaker 1: whether a man playing women's sports is really a man,
Speaker 1: to use the man's real name, speak the truth about
Speaker 1: the fact that is a man playing this woman's sports
Speaker 1: and his real name is so and so. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: I'm glad they filed this lawsuit because that's that's what
Speaker 1: the left has been reduced to now, right is trying
Speaker 1: to criminalize the truth if they don't like the truth.
Speaker 1: And you see it from Polis and the Colorado legislature
Speaker 1: in a lot of different categories. And thank god, we
Speaker 1: have organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom that'll step up, because
Speaker 1: unless your business is a fortune one hundred and even
Speaker 1: if it is, you're going to spend all that money
Speaker 1: to go litigate the thing all the way up to
Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court. So thank god there are groups
Speaker 1: like Alliance Defending Freedom and companies like this company that
Speaker 1: are willing to stand up. So I coded from the
Speaker 1: lawsuit earlier, and I will do that again at some
Speaker 1: point in the show. Textures on a wide variety of topics,
Speaker 1: because we've had a wide variety of conversation on the
Speaker 1: show today, Dan, every hardcore pot had moved here right
Speaker 1: away when pot was legalized. These are people who care
Speaker 1: more about ensuring we can aboord babies in their own families.
Speaker 1: Definitely not democrats. They are still here. If you are
Speaker 1: hooked on pot, all you care about is your next smoke. Interesting.
Speaker 1: I have never imbibed myself. I can't remember, have you.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've dabbled, but nothing nothing does that mean
Speaker 3: stabbed or dabbled. Dabs are way beyond my pay grade
Speaker 3: if you know those are really concentrated. I mean, Dan,
Speaker 3: you talk about just smoking the flower now, and how
Speaker 3: much stronger that is dabs are literally, to your point
Speaker 3: in description, Krakawana, that's what they are.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, well well I was the whole plan, right.
Speaker 1: Even two to four percent leaf has done so much
Speaker 1: damage over the years. That's why no state before Colorado
Speaker 1: had legalized the way we did. And then now their
Speaker 1: whole plan was to crank it up to Krakawana, you know,
Speaker 1: where it's eighty ninety percent potency, and you hook those
Speaker 1: kids forever, you hook them young. That's their whole business plan, right,
Speaker 1: And the whole political plan had left because the more
Speaker 1: dependent on drugs somebody is, the more likely they're going
Speaker 1: to be dependent on government, and that's what the left wants.
Speaker 3: Just from an esthetic standpoint, this might be a good
Speaker 3: question for the listeners. As a non smoker too. And cigarettes,
Speaker 3: I've just messed around, like playing pool, getting drunk in college,
Speaker 3: but never smoked them. And to this day, Dan, if
Speaker 3: I smell cigarette smoke, it really bothers me or ut,
Speaker 3: but so does marijuana smoke.
Speaker 1: That's the skunky area. Smell it as you're walking by.
Speaker 3: I don't know which one is worse, though, cigarette smoke
Speaker 3: or marijuana smoke.
Speaker 1: They're all terrible. Oh they are. But that's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why I'm confident that over time, I mean,
Speaker 1: it looks like marijuana legalization generally speaking, has stalled out
Speaker 1: across the country, has still seen some pockets. And I
Speaker 1: think it's a combination of things including, you know, as
Speaker 1: I've predicted before, over time people can see, you know,
Speaker 1: the horrible, horrible effects of this health wise, and that
Speaker 1: people were just sold to lie. The other part's lifestyle stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, all over America people have to smell that smell,
Speaker 1: and smell that smell in public, and smell that smell
Speaker 1: at Disneyland and here and there. And I think people
Speaker 1: just don't They don't want their kids grown up in
Speaker 1: that world. They don't want to be grown up in
Speaker 1: that world. And it comes back to what I said
Speaker 1: in the very beginning, it's not worth it. What makes
Speaker 1: it worth it? Right? It's not worth it to society?
Speaker 3: And what does it say to you, Dan that recreational
Speaker 3: marijuana failed Amendment three in Florida. And my buddy Hots,
Speaker 3: who I don't know if I'm outing him here, but
Speaker 3: he has dabbled himself a lot more than I have.
Speaker 1: He voted against it. Yeah, you know, the Florida thing.
Speaker 1: I'd like to take more comfort in that. But if
Speaker 1: I remember right, I think they need it like sixty
Speaker 1: five percent or something, right, even so it failed, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is I think we're going to
Speaker 1: see a more decisive turn against legalized marijuana in this
Speaker 1: country because it comes back to what I talked about
Speaker 1: all those years ago. What do people love most? They
Speaker 1: love their children, and it's such an obvious, clear and
Speaker 1: present danger to their kids, the green light effect, more availability,
Speaker 1: et cetera. So yeah, that's why I think if the
Speaker 1: money was equal right now, sixty four would get repealed.
Speaker 1: But the money's not going to be equal. But the
Speaker 1: left would spend twenty or thirty million, and there's just
Speaker 1: not going to be big money on the other side. Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm antipot, But if sixty four was voted on today,
Speaker 1: the potheads would win by a narrow to moderate margin.
Speaker 1: Keep it in mind, the Colorado had voted down legalization
Speaker 1: of marijuana bye decisive margins twice before Bill Maher and
Speaker 1: a lot of other big money from the left came
Speaker 1: into the state swamp the opposition and they got their legalization.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, it's all about them money the people.
Speaker 1: If there was a fair fight money wise, and people
Speaker 1: had ad fair balanced information, I'm very confident this state
Speaker 1: would repeal sixty four. Dan, Has anyone ever blamed a
Speaker 1: vehicle manufacturer for the failure of NOTO breaking or full
Speaker 1: service driving for an accident that results in injury or death? Yes,
Speaker 1: that has happened. It turns on the facts of each case. Dan, Wow,
Speaker 1: I wanted to your Clyde's wyoming story. You could have
Speaker 1: held them over the news break. Rude. You know Clyde
Speaker 1: is still there. Clyde is still there, And no offense
Speaker 1: to Clyde, who I'm sure is just a wonderful human,
Speaker 1: but one of the five worst calls in my decades
Speaker 1: on air. If we have a listener. Oh it's not personal, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was to go out tonight and
Speaker 1: play center field for the Rockies, you would say that's
Speaker 1: one of the five worst center fielders in Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball and I would not be offended all right, by
Speaker 1: popular demand, meaning one texture Clyde is back to finish
Speaker 1: his thoughts. As the note, Dan.
Speaker 9: I was still talking to you and I and I.
Speaker 2: Was cut off.
Speaker 9: I was still talking on the line, I thought, what
Speaker 9: the hell happened?
Speaker 1: How could that have happened?
Speaker 9: Anyways, coming back, listen, on the way back from Wyoming
Speaker 9: getting those fireworks, we stopped at this place. I remembered
Speaker 9: it now called BUCkies. Yeah, Paul, they got the best sandwiches,
Speaker 9: you know, fourteen fifteen bucks for a sandwich. He was
Speaker 9: really good.
Speaker 1: I liked, did you get a burden?
Speaker 9: I got a three meat hammerger or something like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I appreciate it.
Speaker 9: Anyways, I served Vietnam back in nineteen seventy four. I
Speaker 9: had my leg tooken nod.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 9: Man, because I still married to my wife after fifty
Speaker 9: eight years. Wow, I take care of my wife. She's
Speaker 9: a oh but I'm still here.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome man.
Speaker 9: Well, thank you for I wanted to say to your sacrifice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, thank you, my friend. Wow, appreciate that.
Speaker 1: That is a truly great American right there. And BUCkies.
Speaker 1: Have you been to BUCkies? I haven't. It's so far away.
Speaker 3: I keep saying, if I go up that way, I'm
Speaker 3: going to make it a point a destination to go
Speaker 3: in there.
Speaker 1: Because all you hear are these great stories about it.
Speaker 1: It's just there's no place like it. Yeah, no, I've
Speaker 1: never even been and it's just opened up in Colorado, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like what is north of here? I know that much,
Speaker 1: but it's a ways away from here, downtown Denver. And
Speaker 1: the reason we got off on the BUCkies thing is
Speaker 1: it's National Hamburger Day, so we were talking about best burger. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is a typical lot of text for getting dannut once.
Speaker 1: But today during my twenty minute drive home, multiple cars
Speaker 1: continue to turn left opposite me after my light turn green.
Speaker 1: We have a breakdown of civilization on Colorado roads right now,
Speaker 1: and the left is to blame. But what are we
Speaker 1: going to do about it? We're just going to sit
Speaker 1: back and roll over and let that dead body's mount
Speaker 1: and the carnage continue. That there is a way to
Speaker 1: fix this. You're on the Dan Caplace Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3: It must be Yeah, we used to cross the state
Speaker 3: line from Michigan because they're real stingy about what kind
Speaker 3: of fireworks you can have there into like Indiana or Ohio.
Speaker 1: You probably went to Indiana, right, you know. We honestly,
Speaker 1: my dad was a cop. We didn't do all that yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: really quick story.
Speaker 3: So my dad would buy a bunch of you know,
Speaker 3: black cats and m eighties, et cetera. And he was
Speaker 3: a scientist, as many people are aware. He swear to God,
Speaker 3: now there's some beer involved back then, constructed this literal
Speaker 3: bomb with a wick and everything else to go off,
Speaker 3: and it blew apart this little picnic table that my
Speaker 3: brother and I used in our yard.
Speaker 1: And Pinkney in a subdivision.
Speaker 3: It was so loud, Dan, But I was proud of
Speaker 3: my dad because he made an explosive that worked very well.
Speaker 3: It was extremely he like had some silver nitrate gunpowder.
Speaker 3: Kelly's thinking about.
Speaker 1: It father for but I'm trying to capture this statement.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of my dad because he made an explosive
Speaker 1: that worked, yes, very It was so loud, Dan, I
Speaker 1: was scared. I was like ten or eleven. Yeah, hold on, Raw,
Speaker 1: you got to back up. I'm kind of proud of
Speaker 1: my dad because he did not make an explosive. I'm
Speaker 1: kidding this way.
Speaker 3: Your father and my father were very different people, both
Speaker 3: great in their own ways.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I would say that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I heard my dad swear it was like
Speaker 3: a Ralphie and a Christmas story. The tapestry of profanity
Speaker 3: is still above Lake Michigan. That's that was my dad
Speaker 3: back in the day. Whereas you never heard your days,
Speaker 3: it's whole life.
Speaker 1: That's three six foot four and thirty pounds Chicago cost
Speaker 1: You need to swear. I never heard him swear in
Speaker 1: his entire life. Yeah, that's great discipline, I know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I really really respect that. And peace through strength kind
Speaker 1: of guy. But right, yeah, yeah it text or Dan.
Speaker 1: The potheads have taken root. Many of them are homeless
Speaker 1: but still voting. Pot is here to stay. How can
Speaker 1: you be homeless and still for your cell phone? The
Speaker 1: Dems make sure of it. Hey, no question, the legalization
Speaker 1: of marijuana was a key part of the Democrats plan
Speaker 1: to take over Colorado.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You you attract all of these people to the state,
Speaker 1: and then, of course, because they're heavily involved in pot
Speaker 1: not everybody, right, but but you're going to get more
Speaker 1: and more people dependent on government, and the left gets
Speaker 1: the cycle that they want. No question that that was
Speaker 1: a diabolical but successful political move on their part. And
Speaker 1: I am not believe me that sometimes people mistake this
Speaker 1: for value judgment, and that's just so often there is
Speaker 1: no value judgment on my part whatsoever of anybody who
Speaker 1: smokes pot. Why would there be, there's not.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: My value judgment is people who are willing to have
Speaker 1: this state legalized pot and have more dope stores than
Speaker 1: they do Starbucks and McDonald's combined, knowing that it's community.
Speaker 1: The youth of our state are going to be a
Speaker 1: washing pot. That's what I have a value judgment on,
Speaker 1: not individual use of the stuff. And by the way,
Speaker 1: if it was just about individual use for the left,
Speaker 1: there would be lots of other ways to have some
Speaker 1: legally available out there for the people who just have
Speaker 1: to have it. But that was never their purpose. Their
Speaker 1: purpose was what they've gotten, pot stores everywhere, kids, a
Speaker 1: washing pot, a drug culture in Colorado, more dependent on government.
Speaker 1: That's what they wanted. That's what they got. And I
Speaker 1: just hope one of these days that people push back.
Speaker 1: But what it's going to take, Ryan, It's going to
Speaker 1: take one of these gazillionaires. So next time you're out
Speaker 1: with your buddies, just try to persuade one of them.
Speaker 1: It's going to take one of these gazillionaires to say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm sick of this stuff and to
Speaker 1: put up fifty million for a repeal effort, because that's
Speaker 1: what the left would spend trying to keep legalization.
Speaker 3: Who on our side has that kind of money and
Speaker 3: is that fervently against it?
Speaker 1: I'm sincerely asking, well, no, and I don't know of
Speaker 1: that person right now. But what I'm saying is that
Speaker 1: day may come, and I hope it doesn't come because
Speaker 1: of personal tragedy. I wish that on no one, but
Speaker 1: I do think that's how you see these things develop sometimes,
Speaker 1: is somebody with a gazillion and there's so many people
Speaker 1: out there right now, for which for whom fifty million
Speaker 1: is nothing. You know that they suffer, and I do
Speaker 1: not wish this. They suffer some kind of a horrific
Speaker 1: personal tragedy and then they just decide, I don't care
Speaker 1: what it takes, I'm going to go change that. And again,
Speaker 1: I hope that kind of tragedy never happens to anybody,
Speaker 1: including anybody with that kind of money. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: it would take that kind of money, but on the
Speaker 1: merits in a fair fight, Yeah, I think Amendment sixty
Speaker 1: four gets repealed, and I bet there would be an
Speaker 1: awful lot of Democrats support for that. An awful lot
Speaker 1: of you know, people say suburban housewives, it's way too broad,
Speaker 1: but a lot of suburban housewife support for that. I'm
Speaker 1: convinced as a Texter or the increase of dangerous Pueblo
Speaker 1: drivers is in direct correlation with the legalization of pot
Speaker 1: and mary. How could it not be. I mean, just
Speaker 1: a common sense kind of thing. Now, this is my
Speaker 1: job right day in and day out. I'm working in
Speaker 1: these catastrophic crash cases in other cases, but it's just elemental.
Speaker 1: You have more impaired drivers, You're going to have more
Speaker 1: horrific crashes. It's that simple. And of course that's what
Speaker 1: we're getting. Now. Can you and each and every one
Speaker 1: of those cases point to the evidence that you know,
Speaker 1: because so very often, and the left is make it
Speaker 1: made it so hard to successfully prosecute those cases criminally,
Speaker 1: so very often you don't have that work up done.
Speaker 1: But we all know what's happening. I've proven in civil
Speaker 1: cases it was the cause where the testing wasn't even
Speaker 1: done in the criminal case. Not critical of law enforcement,
Speaker 1: just the lack of resources. Ryan, tremendous job, Kelly, if
Speaker 1: you're the best, please join us tomorrow on the dan
