Please be sure to give 3 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.240 us a five star rating if you'd be so kind, 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599 and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.519 single day on your favorite podcast platform. This is going 6 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.640 to be even wilder than we thought. And there's still 7 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.760 what I'd say, Oh, gues September October three, four months ago, 8 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.640 So we're talking about President Trump today. I think showing 9 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.000 great courage and intellectual confidence going in front of another 10 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.200 hard left leaning group. In this case, it happened to 11 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.119 be a National Black Journalist convention where he knew he 12 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:38.840 was going to be grilled. He didn't just get to 13 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.479 give up and get up and give a speech. He 14 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.359 was going to be grilled by a left leaning reporter, 15 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.000 and he was willing to go there, and things got 16 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.320 pretty intense. We'll play some of that sound. The highlight 17 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.719 headline coming out of it is a president questioning whether 18 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.880 Kamala Harris is really black. And again I don't think 19 00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.840 he should have gone there. I think he gains points 20 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.119 strength points for being willing to sit down with another 21 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.920 hard left journalist and do that kind of interview. But 22 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.400 we'll play you some of that sound. But Ryan, in 23 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.000 the meantime, can we audible. 24 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:07.239 A little bit? 25 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.400 Nobody better than Ryan at this President Trump just took 26 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.719 the stage in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Jamdreena, can we go there? 27 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.640 Wow, they saw some pretty bad things. 28 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:20.120 Thank you. 29 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.319 He opened. I was just watching the chrono. He opened 30 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.560 by taking shots at Harris's event yesterday. You know where 31 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.079 they had what was there? Somebody the Stallion and Megan 32 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.159 thee in the Stallion two ease job and we have, by. 33 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.760 The way, we have the dollar there. One of the 34 00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.719 great doctors was there. 35 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:42.959 They worked doing Corey. 36 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:44.640 Actually Ms Corey had. 37 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.280 A hard Timey Cory is special. 38 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:54.680 Thank you doctor, appreciate it very much. Great great doctors, 39 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:59.719 great doctors. A job they did on David Dutch and James. 40 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.719 Copenhagen was just incredible. 41 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.439 And as you know, they brought him back. 42 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.640 From very very seriously wounded. They were going to be 43 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.800 maybe not with us, it was a group of us, 44 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.400 but they are doing really well. Now they're making it. 45 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.479 They're going to be fine. 46 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.479 Not going to be perfect, maybe, but who is who 47 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.479 is as we get older, who is perfect? But the 48 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.319 doctors were so great they had two great doctors also, 49 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.080 and most of all, we lift the memory or memory 50 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:37.639 to the brave firefighter who was so cruelly taken from us. 51 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.560 Corey comparator, Corey comparator. 52 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.080 Getting out of President Trump in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Yeah, and 53 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.800 he had opened up with basically saying, Hey, we don't 54 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.240 need entertainers to fill up an arena. And then he 55 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.240 was talking about Kamala Harris's event and Meghan the Stallion, 56 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.560 the Stallion, right. I gotta tell you, As I watched that, 57 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.240 I was thinking, is this really going to work? I mean, 58 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.520 but anyway, and then Trump was saying that her crowd 59 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.479 started to leave after a few minutes, et cetera. So 60 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.840 that's how President Trump opened it. But certainly, Ryan, it 61 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.479 looks like wherever they are, it looks jam packed and 62 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.560 like an awful lot of people. Yeah, it's Harritsburg, which 63 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.800 brings us to something, my friend brings us to something 64 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.240 we've not talked about, which is Kamala Harris's VP. 65 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:28.520 Now. 66 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.000 I know it's kind of surreal and preposterous to be 67 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.039 talking about any of this because she's not the nominee. 68 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.240 She didn't get a single vote. She was put in 69 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:44.080 place as essentially, you know, by whatever cabal, whatever group 70 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:49.360 deposed Biden the duly elected nominee, but she has been 71 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.360 ordained by them, so she now is going to be 72 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.280 picking a VP, even though she's not the nominee. But anyway, 73 00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.280 here's my point. We all know that the obvious lame 74 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.800 dunk pick is Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania. Democrats 75 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.680 cannot win without Pennsylvania. So hopefully everybody is saying a 76 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.919 silent or even out loud prayer that she does not 77 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.400 pick Josh Shapiro. I'm not saying Josh Shapiro would win 78 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.560 her the election. I'm just saying that it's really going 79 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.680 to hurt her if she doesn't pick him. If I'm 80 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.399 betting the car right now, which I'd be very happy 81 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:25.759 to do, after I took it in a day for 82 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.720 a routine service, you know, because the car barks that 83 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.120 you now service, do service do? You can't play the 84 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.000 radio unless you go get your service. And then all 85 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.319 of a sudden I get this call and I need 86 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.639 all these other repairs. Of course, so maybe I hope 87 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.439 I lose this bet. But if I'm betting you my car, 88 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.920 I bet it's Mark Kelly. I know I agree from 89 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:51.519 obviously centered from Arizona, but but boy it, well, we're 90 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.720 so lucky, aren't we. Ryan that she is the DEM 91 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.199 caller nominee, but the den backroom pick, that she's the 92 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.519 DEM backroom pick rather than a younger candidate, and will 93 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.759 be even more lucky if she the cabal does not 94 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.120 choose Shapiro. 95 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.480 This is why my head is spinning. It's kind of 96 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.839 today's topic, and I understand why it is dan, But 97 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.759 these silos, these categories, these labels that the Democrats dwell on. 98 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.920 I was telling you during the break. You know, I'm 99 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.120 not mixed race, but I mixed ethnicity, and so on 100 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.480 some level, I can relate to Kamala Harris. My dad's 101 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.040 side is British and Dutch. My last name is Dutch. 102 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.439 I don't look that though I look like my mom's side, 103 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.360 which is Serbian. 104 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:31.920 Cool. 105 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.480 My point is I identify with a lot of these 106 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.360 other things. But the thing my mom always said, and 107 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.240 she was an immigrant, was that she was an American 108 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.000 and that's what she was proud of. And this is 109 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.439 what really pisses me off about all of this. Josh 110 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.560 Shapiro should be the running bait. But he's not going 111 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.439 to be and I'm going to tell you why, because 112 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.600 he's Jewish. And that's stupid, but that's true because the 113 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.279 Democrats are hung up on this identity politics bs and 114 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.519 they know that if they choose Shapiro, that might get 115 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.199 them Pennsylvania, but it might lose them dear or in 116 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.240 Michigan or Minneapolis, Minnesota. So they got to go with 117 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.199 a Casper milk toast unoffensive. They're going to go with 118 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.519 a white guy because they've got to balance the ticket 119 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.160 to try to bring in somebody that, you know, white 120 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.680 males for Kamala or whatnot. They're so hung up and 121 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.240 focused on all these things that divide us, Dan, and 122 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.720 that's why I wish Donald Trump would take it a 123 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.399 step further in a positive direction, say it doesn't matter 124 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.240 what she is. She's an American and she should be 125 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.759 proud of that, and I'm glad that she is an American, 126 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.079 and just leave that issue alone. That's for them to 127 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.160 figure out and deal with. 128 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.720 I'm with and that's why I open the show, you know, 129 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.600 just being critical of President Trump for going to the 130 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.360 is she black thing, praising him for some other things 131 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.920 he did today. But but the Democrats have put themselves 132 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.519 in this horrible spot because it is fundamentally Unamerican. It's 133 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.680 fundamentally opposed to all core American values. It is profoundly 134 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.639 opposed to the teachings of Doctor King. To have a 135 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.680 party centered around what skin you have, who you like 136 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.279 to sleep with, what kind of sex you like to have, 137 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.480 you know, to have this party based on identity, it 138 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.839 just violates all these basic principles of America. And you 139 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.600 don't listen doctor King in his own words, I. 140 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:27.519 Have a dream my poor little children one day live 141 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.120 in a nation where they will not be judged by 142 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.680 the color of their skin, but by the content of 143 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:33.480 that character. 144 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.839 I have a dreamy and the Democratic Party is going 145 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.839 entirely the opposite way. Eight five five for zero five 146 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.160 eight two five five the number. So let's just hope, though, 147 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:49.480 because I think we see this identity based party. I 148 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.439 think we see this party, you know, just eroding before 149 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.639 our eyes. And so let's hope they make another mistake 150 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.319 by not choosing Josh Shapiro. And I say they, because 151 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.639 do you really think it's her choice, you know, not 152 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.399 choosing Josh Shapiro. If they choose Josh Shapiro, the race 153 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.240 becomes tougher for President Trump eight five to five for 154 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.360 zero five eight two five five text D A N 155 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.920 five seven seven three nine. Because even in the latest polling, 156 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.000 which you know is predicted, she's got this sugar high going. 157 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.720 I think it'll soon start to wear off unless some 158 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.160 crazy things happen between now and then. But even in 159 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.879 this polling, you know that's that's favoring her. Trump is 160 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.600 still up for in Pennsylvania, and so he's in a 161 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.200 good position there. Let's hope she does not pick Shapiro. 162 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.519 I want to get to some of these texts as well, 163 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.759 and we have exploding text as you might expect. And 164 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.279 then when we come back from this break and of 165 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.279 play some interesting sound. Do you remember, Ryan, which cut 166 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:50.320 you made? The Don Lemon sound where Don lemonon CNN, 167 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:59.960 Don lemonon CI. Yeah, Don lemonon CNN initiates this d 168 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:05.840 kind of sharp verbal disagreement with other guests over whether 169 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.320 Kamala Harris is African American and Lemon taking the position 170 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.639 she is not. So we'll have that cut for you 171 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.440 right out of the break as well. You're on the 172 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.840 Dan Kapla Show. 173 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.840 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast. 174 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:22.120 Donald J. 175 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:23.960 Trump and I approved this message. 176 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.919 This is America's borders are and she's failed us under Harris. 177 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.840 Over ten million illegally here, a quarter of a million 178 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:38.399 Americans dead from petroar, brutal migrant crimes, lears, and isis 179 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.240 now here. Do you have any plans to visit the border? 180 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:43.039 You haven't been to the. 181 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.480 Border, and I haven't been to Europe. Understand the point 182 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.120 that you're making. 183 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:51.039 Kamala Harris failed, weak, dangerously liberal. 184 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.120 That's what I'm talking about. 185 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:55.279 Just do that. 186 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:04.480 Take yes for an answer. Take yes for an answer. 187 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:09.080 Take the W. It's right there, it's city, right there, 188 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.159 it's right in front of you. Just grab it, caress it, 189 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:13.120 snuggle it. 190 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:14.960 Take the damn W. 191 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.120 Don't be talking about whether she's black. Talk about the 192 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:23.720 fact she's a San Francisco radical. You've got it all 193 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.480 on tape. In her own words. She wants to use 194 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:32.559 taxpayer dollars to guarantee every prisoner in America sex change operations. 195 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:38.559 It's such a target rich environment. Just ninety days of 196 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.840 discipline and Trump wins bigly. 197 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.720 But it's going to be wild. 198 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.840 I mean, take today, today is what we're going to 199 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.960 get for the next three months. Trump was brilliant in 200 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.519 so many different ways today brilliant. But then you get 201 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.879 this other thing where he's questioning whether she's black. Now, 202 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.720 first of all, she is. Second, even if she wasn't, 203 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.759 why go there. You win this thing just by saying 204 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.559 a jillion times over and over san Francisco radical, because 205 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:14.480 people know it's true. 206 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:14.759 It. 207 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.320 We're so lucky she's the DEM nominee. It could they 208 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.159 have so many other stronger nominees who could have pulled 209 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.080 the con. She can't pull the con. Americans know who 210 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.399 she is. She's been VP for three and a half years, 211 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.919 so there are so many different ways to win it. 212 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:34.639 But hey, we all know President Trump has been president 213 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.559 of the United States. I haven't. And he has his 214 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.960 own way of doing things, and often he does things 215 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:42.960 that doesn't look like they should work, and they work. 216 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:45.960 All I'm saying on this one is whether it works 217 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.320 or not. Politically, it's wrong she is black. Don't be 218 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:55.240 questioning whether she's black, youah just be just be talking 219 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:59.440 about how radical she is San Francisco radical, and use 220 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.000 the specific. Let me give you one. And we're doing 221 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.559 a bunch every day but how about this one. There 222 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.240 can't be what one percent of America who would support 223 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.840 this using taxpayer dollars for this. 224 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.639 When I was Attorney General, I learned that the California 225 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.039 Department of Corrections, which was a client of mine I 226 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:21.039 didn't get to choose. 227 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.639 My clients, a client of the Attorney General, a client of. 228 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.480 The Attorney General of the Office of Attorney General, that 229 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:32.759 they were standing in the way of surgery for prisoners. 230 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.519 And there was a specific case. And when I learned 231 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.360 about the case, I worked behind the scenes to not 232 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.200 only make sure that that transgender woman got the services 233 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.679 she was deserving. So it wasn't only about that case. 234 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.600 I made sure that they changed the policy in the 235 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.120 state of California so that every transgender inmate in the 236 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.279 prison system would have access to the medical care that 237 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.240 they desired and need. And I believe it was not 238 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.279 only I know it was historic in California, but I 239 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.559 believe actually it may have been one of the first, 240 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.159 if not the first, in the country. 241 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.320 Yeah, for good reason. It's insane. It's insane. Just play 242 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.919 that over and over and over again till election day. 243 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.559 Let's go back to the phone lines. We'll go to 244 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.720 Beautiful Colorado Springs and I'm going to play that Don 245 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.720 Lemon's sound for you, where Don Lemon jumped into this issue, 246 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.320 much to the chagrin of a Harris supporter, Becky in 247 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.080 Beautiful Sea Springs. You're on the Dan Kapla, She'll welcome, Hi, Dan. 248 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.639 I think there's someone really clever, maybe Ryan, who could 249 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.759 come up with the answered. I like when Reagan was 250 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.840 debating Mandel and he said, I won't hold my opponent's 251 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.200 youth and inexperience against him. Yes, and I think Trump 252 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.519 could come up with something. I won't hold somebody's raise, 253 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.519 their ethnicity for them or against them, but look at 254 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:57.759 their policies and just and I would invite my opponent 255 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.279 to also stay all both gender and race if they can, 256 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.480 and just some clever savement like that and never talk 257 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.120 about it again unless he says that. 258 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.039 Yeah, Becky, appreciate the call, thank you for that. 259 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:12.320 Yeah. 260 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.159 It just shouldn't be part of this campaign. I mean, 261 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.639 the questioning whether she's really black just shouldn't be part 262 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.519 of this Dennis and Morse. And now at the same time, Trump, 263 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.240 you know, listen, He's going to win for a lot 264 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.120 of reasons unless he blows it gives it away, and 265 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.240 I don't believe he will, but he's going to win 266 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:33.480 simply on strength versus weakness and today being willing to 267 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.000 appear and be questioned by this left leaning journalist, hard 268 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.559 left leaning journalist. I believe in public stuff like that 269 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.919 plays to the strength image. Certain responses of his play 270 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.120 to that. But the other stuff, you gotta let it go. 271 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.919 Dennis and Morris, and welcome to the show. 272 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:51.679 Hey, Dan, I'm going to go a little off topic. 273 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.480 I just want to comment on these fires. Yeah, I'm 274 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.440 saying to my beautiful mountain top patio looking at the 275 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:02.799 quarry fire as blames just hit the ridge across from us. 276 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.639 We're on pre pre evacuation notice here. 277 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.600 Yeah, why are you still there? 278 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.840 Well, it's it's a little bit of a ways. If 279 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.559 it creeps down that mountain, it could go across uh 280 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.720 Deer Creek into the canyons there, and then it'll go 281 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.000 all the way up to Connacher. 282 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.679 Here's my concern for you, Dennis, because you know, I've 283 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.080 represented people in this situation where all of a sudden 284 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.320 that the fire just sped up in a hurry, and 285 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.519 then you've got people burned to death. And so is 286 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.080 it worth hanging around and waiting. 287 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:41.399 Probably not. So we've got stuff parked backed up in 288 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:42.840 the car, and yeah, get out of there. 289 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:44.799 Call me from the road. We take calls from the 290 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.879 road as long as people are safe, right. 291 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:51.559 But yeah, you know, all they're talking about is limited resources, 292 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:57.440 limited resources, limited resources. And finally, our stupid governor came 293 00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:00.879 on today and said we should probably put more money 294 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:05.440 into aviation resources to fight fires. You know, he goes around, 295 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.840 he's so concerned with letting wolves go in the wild. Yeah, 296 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:14.879 he's so concerned about protecting the butterfly population, and he 297 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.960 just drops the ball on stuff like this. We should 298 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:23.320 have the best equipment available to where are of feet 299 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.440 on the ground those people.

I mean, 310 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.639 so many people die when the fire just speeds up 311 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.519 or shifts directions. 312 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:57.360 Well, thank you Dan. 313 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.000 Hey, thank you Dennis for the call.

In wait a second, I don't 327 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.960 care what the group is. We just can't have this. 328 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.240 We can't have this be the new normal. And Mike Kaufman, 329 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.680 who has been a tremendous law and order guy and 330 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:49.519 has walked that talk for a lot of years, I'm 331 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.920 sure he is not going to permit that as well. 332 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.759 So we'll talk to him at five thirty six and 333 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.359 find out for my kaffin what really happened out there, 334 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.480 and then what's he going to do to make sure 335 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:09.079 it doesn't happen again.

Mister mayor, Welcome back to the Dan 341 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:39.440 Capla Show. 342 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.839 Hey, Dan, thanks for having me. 343 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.799 Well, really appreciate you being here. Obviously, you know what 344 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.640 the questions are going to, because I'm sure a lot 345 00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.519 of citizens have been calling in with them. But first 346 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.680 of all, what happened on Sunday night at that shopping mall? 347 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.720 And second, what can be done to make sure that 348 00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.160 sort of thing doesn't happen again. 349 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.119 What happened was it was a historic event. Were not 350 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.279 just for the city of Aurora. Unfortunately, it was unfortunate 351 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:13.400 for the city, but we've had the country's had and 352 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.799 Aurora's had these ways of migrants crushing in the border 353 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.000 and a lot of them are from Venezuela and so 354 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.519 and probably the majority are from Venezuela. So there was 355 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:33.559 an elections were being held in Venezuela. They somebody on 356 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.079 social media, one of the number of ve Isuelan immigrant 357 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:40.920 community put out a post saying, you know, let's meet 358 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.799 up over at this parking lot in the vicinity of 359 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:52.079 Mississippi and Hava, and it tried out four thousand people, 360 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.720 about four thousand people and so with no planning, and 361 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:01.799 so they just know, kind of took over the area. 362 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.680 People couldn't uh couldn't get get it that were in 363 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.279 the stores couldn't get out, uh because they're part where 364 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:16.359 their cars were.

Pretty much trast the area. 367 00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:29.480 So very disappointing. Uh and uh but you know, certainly, 368 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.279 uh I felt that they are the people in the 369 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.079 city will run apology. And the leader from the Venezuelan 370 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.599 community immigrant community, it's contacting me and said they more 371 00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:43.960 than that the leaders that they thought to be criminally prosecuted. 372 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:44.640 Uh. 373 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.880 So we're certainly looking at the social media post out 374 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:51.319 there trying to track things down in the future of well, 375 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.759 I think this is more of a one off. But 376 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.960 in the future, certainly we'll monitor their social media to see, 377 00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:00.119 you know, if there's ever a meet up again like this. 378 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.279 But I don't think. I think it was just because 379 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:05.759 of this historic event that had occurred, but it was 380 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:10.240 really unfortunate and hurt the city may. 381 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.759 Or Mike Kaufman our guest. And when you say, mister Merrit, 382 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.640 the one off, I think that is the profound concern 383 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.440 of so many people listening is wait a second, it 384 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.000 needs to be a one off, right, because this can't 385 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.279 be the new normal. And I don't care if it's 386 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:29.559 four thousand country clubbers or four thousand people from Ireland 387 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.440 or whatever. And I happened to be one hundred percent Irish. 388 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.759 This just can't be the new normal. Even if it's 389 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.079 the normal in some other country, it can't be the 390 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:39.720 normal in America. 391 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.880 No I did. It really can't be. And so, you know, 392 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.279 so I think that that there leaders within their community. 393 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.480 There was an editorial in Spanish language all commercial paper 394 00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:59.119 by Jezu Sanchez, a leader in the Venezuelan immigrant community. 395 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:01.119 Somebody who had been here for a long time, not 396 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:04.319 not a new uh. Now one of the ways of 397 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:06.799 migrants that have come over here that that that put 398 00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.839 out a pretty harsh editorial, uh, you know against those 399 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:16.079 that did that, what really is irresponsible in terms of planning. 400 00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.440 I get that they were exuberant. I get that they 401 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.519
