But you know what, there's so much 8 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.519 more of it happening that you never hear about, you 9 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:26.800 never see because they hide it, because the powers that 10 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.399 be have no interest whatsoever and letting you know the 11 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.159 true magnitude and depth and horror of the crime and 12 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.880 other horribles that are happening in this state because of 13 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.600 legalized marijuana. But you've got the face of that evil, 14 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.640 and I'm talking the evil of legalized marijuana. 15 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.119 You've got the face of that. 16 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.799 Right in front of you, right now with this twenty 17 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:53.439 four year old Elijah Caudle cau d Ill. And we've 18 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.479 got the face of it in front of us right 19 00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.240 now with this American Airlines flight attendant. So Linda Levno's 20 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.960 just she's on a layover, so she decides to shop 21 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.760 on the sixteenth Street mall and gets her throat slit 22 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.640 like she's in the middle of a war zone, because 23 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:10.719 guess what it is. 24 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.200 It is And all. 25 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.400 These people stuffing their pockets with money, it's blood money, 26 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:17.719 because they know. 27 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:18.799 What they call marijuana. 28 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.599 Even the old marijuana, even the old marijuana of the 29 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.959 hippies in the seventies, even that stuff caused a lot 30 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.680 of harm. But this is like Krakawana, this high potency 31 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.120 stuff that they put out there because they want to 32 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.040 hook them young, like they did with this kid, right, 33 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.599 They want to hook them young, They want to hook 34 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.079 them forever. And then you get all these people, and 35 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.760 you get plenty of people who do this dope and Okay, 36 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.719 it may mess up their life and the lives of 37 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:43.519 people around them. 38 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.879 They don't go out and commit crimes. 39 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.599 But the point is that all of these harms come 40 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.719 in a lot of different levels and a lot of 41 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.719 different shapes and sizes, from all these kids who lose 42 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.799 their ambition and they kind of had their future robbed, 43 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.319 to the people who die on the highways, to all 44 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.840 these other forms a harm. But then you do get 45 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.159 these psychotic breaks. 46 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:04.680 I mean, look at that monster. 47 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.480 Look at that monster who shot up the Planned Parenthood 48 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:11.120 clinic in Colorado Springs. He was attracted here by the 49 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.000 legalized dope. You know, I think he still isn't He 50 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.719 still considered insane from whatever breaks he had. And then 51 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.319 you get you get this guy arrested. 52 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:20.840 Think about it. 53 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.919 He's twenty four and he's arrested for dealing dope in 54 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.439 twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen. And I'm not making any excuses 55 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.000 for him listening, he should be in jail the rest 56 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.960 of his life and beyond. But what I'm saying is 57 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.080 is I bet if somebody does the deep dive and 58 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.800 they look at his life before he got into dope, 59 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.759 they're gonna see a different kid. And that doesn't mean, 60 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:45.759 oh the devil made me do it, or blame the dope. 61 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.240 He should get leniency, not at all. You cut the 62 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.120 throat of a woman on the sixteenth Street, Mall you 63 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.520 kill this other guy you stabbed four people trying to 64 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.120 kill him, that then yeah, that you should be in 65 00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:58.479 jail the rest of your life and beyond. But we 66 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:03.039 as a society, to protect ourselves, we need to demand more. 67 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.680 We need to demand the truth because there's all sorts 68 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.280 of crime out there happening that is fueled by drug use. 69 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.919 It's fueled very often by marijuana. And you don't hear krakajana. 70 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.080 You should call it with this potency, and you don't 71 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.319 hear anything about it. Oh, they say, Oh, there's no causation. 72 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.439 You can't prove causation. Oh, let's see. Okay, so we 73 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.520 see this big surgeon crime statistics, steady surgeon crime stats 74 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.319 since marijuana was legalized. Oh that's a big coincidence, right, yeah, 75 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:33.560 big coincidence. 76 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.360 So no, it is what you would expect it to be. 77 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:37.520 It's what the. 78 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.039 Old saying goes, Oh, that guy's acting like he's on drugs. 79 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.800 That saying's been around since Fred Flintstone. Why do you 80 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.919 think that's sayings around? Because drugs make people act differently, 81 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.240 not each and every person. But is that the standard 82 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:55.000 now in Colorado? That okay, Unless this legalized krakawana causes 83 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.879 everybody to go out and slip people's throats or commit 84 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.000 some other form of crime or get addicted, then that's fine. 85 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.840 Let's make it legal. Now that's the big live we've 86 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.919 been sold by the left. Right, so by the left, 87 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.960 sold by the big money that came in here. Twice 88 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.919 voters turned it down here and then it eventually get 89 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.199 legalized because the left flooded the state with big money 90 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.079 and the hick and Loopers of the world, and the 91 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.680 polices and the other lefties, they just couldn't wait to 92 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.600 legalize dope. Now hick and Loopers says he opposed it 93 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.319 out of the corner of his mouth, you know, just 94 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.160 typical two face garbage. 95 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.319 But they love this stuff, right, because what does the 96 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:30.079 left want? 97 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.920 The left wants people dependent on government, and it also 98 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.160 wants all the money from marijuana, right, But it wants 99 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.680 people dependent on government. And Jerry Brown acknowledged it, the 100 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.800 uber liberal governor at one time in California, that how 101 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.959 many stoners can you have and still have a great state. 102 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.399 But the point is the left wants people addicted. They 103 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.199 want him dependent on government. The more drug users you have, 104 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.439 the more people are going to be dependent on government. 105 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.480 And this stuff infects all walks of life. Listen, I 106 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.920 don't care what any individual adult does on their free time, 107 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.199 but when it comes to like using marijuana, to me, 108 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.959 in an individual adult using marijuana, that sort of stuff, 109 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.160 that's not a moral issue to me, and who cares 110 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.399 if it was, it isn't. The point is in order 111 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.079 to facilitate that the way the left has chosen to 112 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.639 do it in Colorado. You know what you're getting. You're 113 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.040 getting this kid who just slashed a woman's throat on 114 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.160 the mall and stabbed three other people and killed one 115 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.920 of those others. That's the price the left is willing 116 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.439 to pay for the obvious. Elton John no prude? 117 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:35.720 Right? 118 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.639 Hey, Ryan, is Elton John a prude? No anybody ever 119 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.360 called Elton John a prude? Right? Elton John says legalization 120 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:43.839 of marijuana it may. 121 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.800 Be the biggest mistake America's ever made, for all the 122 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:47.600 obvious reasons. 123 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.000 He got hooked on the stuff. 124 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:55.600 So yeah, but we're getting exactly what anybody paying attention 125 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.759 knew we would get, but we're getting a whole lot 126 00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.920 more of it, and it is not worth it. 127 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.399 So this is the reality. Now, the reality may we may. 128 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.480 Be stuck with this right because marijuana is all the 129 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.240 big money they got. Most of the politicians, and you know, 130 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.040 so many of the big money folks who fund campaigns 131 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.519 just think it's not winnable to overturn it. But let's 132 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.040 be honest about what the left has brought us in Colorado. 133 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.279 Want a couple on the right but let's be honest 134 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.120 about what they brought us and what it's doing to us, 135 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.879 and the fact that the truth is being hidden from us, 136 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.319 about how much more crime? How many other harms are 137 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.279 tied to this? Eight five to five for zero five 138 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.759 eight two five five the number. So Elijah Caudle, Yeah, 139 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.000 arrested for dealing marijuana in twenty nineteen. One of the 140 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.920 stories I saw had a social media profile picture of 141 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:48.319 him was a marijuana leaf. 142 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:49.759 And I hope. 143 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.600 Somebody does a deep dive on his life, because you 144 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.160 know it. You know so many of these kids in 145 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.480 your life. It doesn't mean they go out and slash throats, 146 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.399 but you know so many kids in your life and 147 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.399 adults you know, who were a whole different type of 148 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.399 kid before they got into this Krakawana that Polis and 149 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.279 Hickenlooper and the whole rest of the left loves right, 150 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.000 a whole different type of kid. You know, we thank God, literally, 151 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.000 we thank God often our kids have been spared that. 152 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.720 But we know so many good kids, hard working kids. 153 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.279 You know, great parents, great families who one way or 154 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.680 the other, they got into it, and so many of them. 155 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.879 Once you get into it, you can't get out. And 156 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.800 it just changes who they are. And it's not limited 157 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.920 to kids. But obviously this guy started young and has 158 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.800 an arrest record, a long arrest record. 159 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.680 But that's what this brings. And it's not a one off. 160 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.720 We know of some of the high profile ones, right 161 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.040 like that monster in the Springs who shot up the 162 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.360 planned Parenthood clinic, But there are so many other crimes, 163 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.399 so many other crimes where this is involved. Let's start 164 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.319 with Eric in Castle Rock. You're on the dan kaplis 165 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.279 so obviously a whole lot to talk about here. At 166 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.759 what point will Colorado vote to overturn this madness? At 167 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.079 what point does that happen? Is it impossible to get 168 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.439 to that point? I don't think it's impossible to get 169 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.920 to that point? Will you go down to the sixteenth 170 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.399 Street mall? 171 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:11.560 You know? 172 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.439 I call my wife on the way over to the show. 173 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.120 We have just been down there a short time ago 174 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.160 for the Nutcracker. We parked over here, we got a 175 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.639 burger somewhere we're walking down. We walked by that very 176 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.560 spot where that woman had her throat slit. You think 177 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.720 I'm going to bring my family back down there anytime soon? 178 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.360 But I shouldn't have brought him back down there then, 179 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:30.920 because I know, think about what's happened to that mall 180 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.399 since legalization of marijuana. Think about what's happened to it, 181 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.399 and they can pour billions into putting nicer light fixture ups. 182 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:37.720 Whatever. 183 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.360 You're not going to get people down there. You're not 184 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.399 going to get people down there until you get rid 185 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:48.960 of this garbage. Eric, You're on the Dan Kaplas Show. Welcome, Hey, Eric. 186 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.240 Eric probably does not believe I'm done talking, but I 187 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.200 am so Oh I think our line was potted down. 188 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.879 Technical issue. Let's try him again. Welcome to the show. 189 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.240 Yeah, Dan, do you have me? Yes? 190 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:05.279 Yes, thank you? 191 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:06.679 Oh good, good good. 192 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:07.919 Couldn't agree with you more. 193 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:09.240 Number two is a follow. 194 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:09.840 Up to that question. 195 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.879 To sit there and listen. 196 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.600 To these liberal lefty nut jobs trying to sell the 197 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.159 public on how they're going to make it safer when 198 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.159 they now give you a three day waiting period for 199 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.120 all these people that are victims to go buy a 200 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.240 gun to defend themselves before the next crime happens. Number two, 201 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.559 you're going to get penalized on April first, when Proposition 202 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.759 kate K goes into effect to charge you another six 203 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.440 and a half percent on top of your regular tax 204 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.799 rate to purchase a weapon in the first place. So 205 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:41.080 they really don't care about the people of Colorado. We 206 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.559 know that because they made it more difficult for you 207 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.759 to go out and buy a gun to protect yourself. 208 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.159 With Eric good good call on that. You're welcome to 209 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:49.679 talk to the other side as well. I need to 210 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.679 hit this hard break. 211 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:50.919 Listen. 212 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.679 We know we have so many different examples. I'm not 213 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.879 talking about your common Democrat, but the left that owns 214 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.559 the party. They don't care about human life that they 215 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.279 just don't value it the same way. There's an acceptable 216 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.399 casualty rate in their mind. They're not going to lose 217 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.399 any sleep over this flight attendant, by the way, or 218 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.120 the other gentleman who was killed last night, or the 219 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.919 other two who are stabbed, or all the other people 220 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:13.480 who are. 221 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.639 Dead because of legalized dope. 222 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.600 That you really think they lose a minute's sleep, Well, 223 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.279 Mike Johnston will pretend that he does. He's going to 224 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.240 do a press conference at five. We'll duck into that. 225 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:24.919 You're on the Dan Kapla. 226 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:29.639 Show and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 227 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.759 Expect the cues of carrying out multiple stabbings over the weekend, 228 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.000 appeared in court today. Has happened on the sixteenth Street Mall. 229 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:40.879 In total, two people died from their injuries. Officials believe 230 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:44.159 the suspect carried out a total of four stabbings between 231 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:49.000 Saturday and Sunday. The Association of Professional Flight Yeah. 232 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.039 And they go on to describe Selinda Levno, who had 233 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.120 her throat slash. She's on a layover. 234 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.200 American analysts flight attendant on a layover, going shopping on 235 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.639 the mall, has her throat slash like she's in the 236 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.559 middle of a third world country with with you know, 237 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.320 no type of safety. I mean, it is completely unacceptable 238 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.440 for Colorado. But you know what, the left is fine 239 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.240 with it. I'm not talking about a great men and 240 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.440 women in law enforcement. They would have died to Saber. 241 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:19.399 I'm talking about the left and including politicians at every level. 242 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:23.960 And unfortunately, you know, the lawless Mike Johnston is obviously 243 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.720 obviously you know, politicize the chief of police as well. 244 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.320 So that's what we've got now, right where all of 245 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.960 a sudden you can get a group that just decides 246 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.879 they're taking over a area. They're taking it over, They're 247 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.000 taking that land from the kids. They're disrupting university operations. 248 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.679 They get to stay as long as they want to, right, 249 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:47.080 because Johnston has politicized the police department. Okay, America elects 250 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.159 Donald Trump, they want to come in and force federal 251 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.240 immigration law. Lawless, Mike Johnston says he's going to use 252 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.840 the Denver police to go fight him and stop them, 253 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.519 stop them at the county line. I mean, that's the mentality, right, 254 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.799 So it's no surprise at public safety. That doesn't matter. 255 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.960 Public safety doesn't matter. It's all about politicizing these things. 256 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.600 So you tell me this. He's having a press conference, right, 257 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.559 Lawless is having a press conference at five nine, So 258 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:13.679 we're going to duck into that, and I want to 259 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.440 hear somebody ask him. I want to hear somebody ask him. 260 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.879 He doesn't have the courage to come on this show. 261 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.279 I want to hear somebody there ask him. Okay, what 262 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.879 warnings were issued to the public after clearly, you know 263 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:28.679 the serial stabbings started on Saturday, So what warnings were 264 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.159 then issued to the public. I'll really be curious to see. 265 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.919 I know there was some mild type news reporting, but 266 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.200 at that point, you know you have a serial killer 267 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.039 on the loose on the mall, and obviously following an 268 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.759 mo slashed a woman's throats, stabbed two others within one 269 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.960 hour on the mall, same vicinity. Was there any type 270 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.080 of large scale public warning about that. 271 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:52.000 I'll be very. 272 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.080 Interested to see if there was. I didn't see it, 273 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.799 and this goes back to two thousand and nine. I 274 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.600 covered this story heavily, and then we'll get back to 275 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:02.000 our phone lines. Two thousand and nine, when there were 276 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:06.240 these serial, very severe beatings going on in Loto. It 277 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:08.919 was a gang initiative and they were picking out white 278 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.559 people to beat them, and they were beating people within 279 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.799 an inch of their death. Eventually did kill someone, and 280 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.120 that happened out further south. But you've got these serial 281 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.120 beatings going on. Denver police are doing a magnificent job, 282 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.960 a magnificent job of figuring out who was behind this, etc. 283 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:30.639 The hicken Looper administration sat on it, same thing downtown Denver, Lodo. 284 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.960 They hid it from the public because it would have 285 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.639 been embarrassing to the hicken Looper administration, hurt his political prospects, 286 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.120 and would have been bad for business downtown. 287 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.759 These sobs hid it from the public. 288 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.399 They were willing to let fathers wander at the victims, 289 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.039 if I remember correctly, were always male willing to let 290 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.919 fathers wander down there with their families, willing to let 291 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.600 all these innocent victims wander down to Lodo ballgames whatever, 292 00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.200 totally unaware that there was this gang initiation going on 293 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.279 where they were beating white people senseless. Hick and Looper 294 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.440 administration hit it. So I want to know where were 295 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.039 the mass warnings after there was clearly a serial killer 296 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.320 loose on the Denver mall. That better be the first 297 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.919 question in the press conference today. Let's start with James 298 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:18.799 and Denver. You're on the Dan Kapla show. 299 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:24.799 Welcome, Yeah, good afternoon, Dan So. I had done a 300 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:33.000 movie documentary with Stephen Tubbs during the riots downtown during 301 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.960 COVID with all the you know, the drugs and the violence, 302 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.720 and it was called Denver and Decay. 303 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.080 And that's we done. 304 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:47.200 Yeah. And I'm a recovering addict who has sixteen years 305 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.799 clean and sober. I haven't touched anything, but I came 306 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:56.440 from the world when Denver used to if you did something, 307 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.559 you broke the law, they threw you in prison. And 308 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:05.440 they had I had programs long term programs that would 309 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:10.080 help you get your life together. That has all stopped. 310 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.000 They don't do any of that anymore. They just coddle you. 311 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.679 They tell you that your mistakes are because you grew 312 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:21.720 up in a bad environment. Whatever. I don't go for 313 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:26.960 any of that. My best friends now, or law enforcement. 314 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.679 I have a lot of clean and sober people that 315 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.759 are out there, and there are a lot of them 316 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.120 that wouldn't put up with this at all. And this 317 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:41.440 is this is just horrifying. And I cannot believe that 318 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:47.279 the police, they've been kind of hamstrung. They what they 319 00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:51.039 did during COVID with the George Floyd thing. As soon 320 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:55.240 as that happened, they made them start wearing these cameras 321 00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:00.120 and getting insurance and they can't hurt anybody or tell 322 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.639 telling you they cannot go out there and be police. 323 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.440 Well, James, appreciate, Oh sorry, James, I thought you're done. 324 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.159 Appreciate that. Appreciate your documentary very much. Listen. 325 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.000 I have no problem with body cams. I think bodycams 326 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.159 are great for law enforcement because so often they prove 327 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.879 that lies about law enforcement behavior are lies. So I 328 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.720 have no problem with bodycam and I think most police 329 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.559 don't either. The problem I have is the left undermines 330 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:27.559 our law enforcement. 331 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:28.279 My dad was a. 332 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.799 Cop for thirty years in Chicago. He went out on 333 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.000 the street. He knew that the mayor daily and the 334 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.360 administration would have his back. And my dad was the 335 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.240 very best of officers now here. If you're a Denver 336 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.120 police officer, you have to be scared to death that 337 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.679 you will be made a sacrificial lamb, a human sacrifice, 338 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.399 and just sacrifice to the left if it's better for 339 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.480 the political powers that be. So of course it's harder 340 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:58.320 for officers to lean forward in their enforcement. But I 341 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.679 want to know. I want to know what warnings were 342 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.639 given to the public after on Saturday afternoon, Mayor Johnston 343 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.240 knew there was a serial killer loose on the mall 344 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.680 who had just slashed the throat of a flight attendant 345 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:11.880 and killed her and stabbed two other people. And that's 346 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.759 before the fourth victim was murdered on the mall by 347 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.640 the same guy last night a day later. So what 348 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.359 warnings were given to the public, what type of police presence? 349 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.319 And don't blame individual officers, these are political decisions, resource decisions. 350 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.400 Was the all absolutely flooded with officers? 351 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:31.480 Maybe it was. Where was the big public warning? 352 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.480 Then these are all questions that need to be answered now, 353 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.519 particularly since we've seen how democrats in power have behaved 354 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.279 in Denver before when faced with a similar thing, and 355 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.799 they chose to cover it up because it would make 356 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.440 them look bad. Right, So you didn't get the warning 357 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.400 to the public in two thousand and nine and the 358 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.279 violent assaults just continued. Yeah, eight five five or zero 359 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.799 five eight two five five the number. We will have 360 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.799 the pleasure of talking to former Chief Jim, former chief 361 00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.400 of DPD.
