Speaker 1: This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast edition
Speaker 1: of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to give
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've gotta fight harder. Glad you're here?
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: d An five seven seven three nine. Why do I
Speaker 1: say that at a time when we are still celebrating.
Speaker 1: We should celebrate every single day, right because that victory,
Speaker 1: that Trump victory America is saving America once again by
Speaker 1: giving Trump a second term. You know, it's a gift
Speaker 1: that keeps on giving every single day. But obviously the
Speaker 1: reason we need to fight harder is Colorado tough nut
Speaker 1: to crack. Colorado is going to be much much harder
Speaker 1: than it was nationally. But we can't just give up
Speaker 1: on the place, right because you see all the carnage
Speaker 1: that's caused by that.
Speaker 2: I think we have a.
Speaker 1: Moral obligation to keep fighting and not just kind of
Speaker 1: write this place off. Hilarious headlines CNN's big top headline
Speaker 1: seven o'clock Eastern, quoting jd Vance as he arrived in
Speaker 1: Greenland today, Blank gets cold as s as he arrives
Speaker 1: to Chili reception. So that's CNN's take on everything. But
Speaker 1: it just goes to show right that the Left at
Speaker 1: this point it's just spinning.
Speaker 2: It's in kind of this doom loop.
Speaker 1: And it's always been disconnected from what Americans want, but
Speaker 1: even more so now. I mean, you really think Americans
Speaker 1: are going to get upset because the Trump administration wants
Speaker 1: Greenland under US control. Yeah, I guess if there was
Speaker 1: some massive invasion and takeover Greenland, people would get upset.
Speaker 1: But that's not what Trump's talking about. No, he is
Speaker 1: looking out for interest. He doesn't want Chiana to have it.
Speaker 1: He wants to work something out there. Ryan, This is
Speaker 1: what and this goes beyond Trump. And you know, you
Speaker 1: talk about Colorado, how to win in Colorado. I think
Speaker 1: that people are craving across party lines. They're just craving
Speaker 1: these big, bold, smart ideas that actually have a chance
Speaker 1: to work and would really make you know, big change.
Speaker 1: And listen, Incremental change can be great too if it's
Speaker 1: in really important stuff, but would make big change. And
Speaker 1: I think all of us, I think all of us
Speaker 1: are created by our creator this way. I think we're
Speaker 1: created to want to have a positive impact. We're created
Speaker 1: to have a positive impact. I think everybody listening to
Speaker 1: this show right now, and particularly because they listen to
Speaker 1: a show like this right that, they're driven because they
Speaker 1: want to have the biggest impact for good they can
Speaker 1: during their time here, and so they're attracted to these big,
Speaker 1: bold moves forward. And that is what Trump has always
Speaker 1: been known for. Hey, is every swing going to be
Speaker 1: a home run?
Speaker 2: No, that that's not the.
Speaker 1: Way life works, that's not the way any human endeavor works.
Speaker 1: But these leaders who are willing to take a chance,
Speaker 1: like right now, Trump could be absolutely cruising.
Speaker 2: You know, he won that second term.
Speaker 1: He overcame, you know that, more obstacles than anybody else
Speaker 1: who's ever won the presidency. He emerged victorious in this
Speaker 1: face of all all of those attempts to take him
Speaker 1: out in every possible way. He could have just said,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm going to do. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to cut any spending my next four years. I'm just
Speaker 1: going to cruise now and I'm going to spend your
Speaker 1: grandchildren's money, and everybody's going to be on a sugar
Speaker 1: high for my four years and I'm going to leave
Speaker 1: office with these huge approval numbers. He could have done that,
Speaker 1: but one of the things I admire most about him
Speaker 1: is he didn't. He said, I've got a vision for
Speaker 1: how we're going to make big change in this country
Speaker 1: the benefits working people, you know, for centuries to come,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to do it right now, no matter
Speaker 1: what the pain is.
Speaker 2: And that's why we're stock.
Speaker 1: You know, in so many of these what seem intractable
Speaker 1: problems that really are fixable is because you don't have
Speaker 1: elected officials willing to do the hard things that would
Speaker 1: make them unpopular temporarily or long term. They're not willing
Speaker 1: to make that sacrifice for the nation. Trump is I
Speaker 1: just admire the heck out of that eight five five
Speaker 1: or zero five two five five text d an five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: Hey, if you've got.
Speaker 1: To make a choice between listening to the five o'clock
Speaker 1: hour today or on Monday, I'd say listen Monday, because
Speaker 1: we're going to have a really, really important hour and
Speaker 1: I hope you're here today also. But if you've got
Speaker 1: to make that choice Monday, we're going to have special
Speaker 1: guests from the Elizabeth School District in Colorado, and they
Speaker 1: are fighting now. They are fighting now to be able
Speaker 1: to keep nineteen books, nineteen particular books off the shelves
Speaker 1: of their school libraries, and the ACLU has gone to
Speaker 1: court got an injunction to try to stop them.
Speaker 2: But here's what's going to happen Monday.
Speaker 1: They're going to come on this show and we're going
Speaker 1: to give fair warning, particularly to ca because I know
Speaker 1: she's her ears are very sensitive. But they're going to
Speaker 1: read from these books. That's what Monday, in the five
Speaker 1: o'clock hour is going to be. They're going to read
Speaker 1: from these books that the ACLU insists must stay on
Speaker 1: the shelves of the schools in Elizabeth And you will
Speaker 1: not want to miss that. Now, you're going to be
Speaker 1: disgusted by a lot of what you hear, and will
Speaker 1: give fair warnings, so kids in the car don't hear it,
Speaker 1: but you are.
Speaker 2: Not going to want to miss that hour three.
Speaker 1: Or three someone three eight two five five text d
Speaker 1: A N five seven seven three nine. I hate to
Speaker 1: say I told you so, but I do believe young
Speaker 1: Ryan Schuling that we on this show, before the Sports
Speaker 1: Show started talking about it, we were calling for CEU
Speaker 1: to hire coach Prime, and now they just extended him.
Speaker 1: He's one of the top paid coaches in college football,
Speaker 1: paid as much as a Texas coach, and the Texas
Speaker 1: coach just gets paid whatever he.
Speaker 2: Wants to get paid.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Oh, they got a lot of money in usin yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and so yeah.
Speaker 1: Tremendous, tremendous move by see you to get them, tremendous
Speaker 1: move by see you to keep them. There's so much
Speaker 1: upside on so many different levels.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The story that's getting glossed over today, and again we're
Speaker 1: not going to revert to sports. We just do that
Speaker 1: during breaks. But the story that's getting glossed over is
Speaker 1: Foalsome Field is tearing out the grass. They're putting in turf.
Speaker 4: How do you feel about that?
Speaker 1: I am assuming because I trust the people in charge
Speaker 1: up there that and they do everything first class, particularly
Speaker 1: since Prime got there. I'm assuming that it's the most
Speaker 1: advanced form of turf that has an injury rate equal
Speaker 1: to or better than grass, if that's possible, because you're
Speaker 1: always concerned about the injuries, right, But it's unmistakable as to.
Speaker 2: Why they're doing it.
Speaker 1: The reason they're doing it is this tells you everything
Speaker 1: about where Prime is taking that team and the new
Speaker 1: quarterback they brought in, highly recruited kit everything else. What
Speaker 1: you're going to see up there now as you're going
Speaker 1: to see, you know, an offense with a passer but
Speaker 1: also very very proficient runners at quarterback. And I say
Speaker 1: plural because you need more than one if you're going
Speaker 1: to have your quarterback running. So I think I think
Speaker 1: it's all about speed, offense, defense, special teams.
Speaker 2: I think it's all about speed.
Speaker 4: And turf maintenance, which grass is a lot more difficult,
Speaker 4: especially in a climate like this one. It's expensive. Oh
Speaker 4: once you pay for that turf, it's not as expensive
Speaker 4: to maintain.
Speaker 1: You are so right, But I don't think this has
Speaker 1: anything to do with that or anything to do about money.
Speaker 1: I think it has to do about team speed and
Speaker 1: taking full advantage of the team speed.
Speaker 2: The buffs half.
Speaker 4: Do you ever walk around on turf for a long time?
Speaker 1: Oh, my lord, We used to when I was a
Speaker 1: student up at SeeU, And this is why people tuned in.
Speaker 2: We used to go out there.
Speaker 1: They used to let you go go onto the field
Speaker 1: at folsome when it was turf and just play pickup games.
Speaker 1: If the team wasn't out there and we would play.
Speaker 1: We'd play seven or eight pickup games a day.
Speaker 4: That was like the old Astro turf though right.
Speaker 2: The oh my goodness, you'd be better off.
Speaker 1: We'd be better off going out in the street and
Speaker 1: playing in the street exactly. But yeah, so no, yeah,
Speaker 1: so to answer your question, yeah, we'd spend hours on
Speaker 1: that turf just playing pickup games.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the newer turf is, it's better, but I still
Speaker 4: don't think I would be concerned about the injury factor.
Speaker 4: And I've both walked on new Field turf, which is
Speaker 4: a lot of it's made out of recycled tires. I've
Speaker 4: been on Ford Field. I'm telling you, just walking around
Speaker 4: on my back. It's stiff on light grass and the
Speaker 4: players take a pounding on it, and I don't Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's not as bad as the old AstroTurf, but I
Speaker 4: don't think it's anywhere nearly as good as the grass.
Speaker 4: So I'm curious about that decision.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, me too, because I've got to believe grass
Speaker 1: is safer. But again, they're doing everything first class up there,
Speaker 1: and I'll try to find out more about exactly what
Speaker 1: was installed and what the safety rate is on all that,
Speaker 1: but no question they're looking to take advantage of that
Speaker 1: team speed. Hey, getting back to all this life and
Speaker 1: desk stuff, we have a few things going on if
Speaker 1: you just joined us, love to hear from me on
Speaker 1: any of it. One is that this obviously just societally
Speaker 1: suicidal build that is now going into effecting Colorado thanks
Speaker 1: to Polis that says that folks coming here illegally from
Speaker 1: anywhere in the country can same day get a driver's
Speaker 1: license in Colorado and their ID can be expired for
Speaker 1: ten years. Well to be accurate, nine years, nine years,
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty three days. And the reason for
Speaker 1: that is quite obvious, right, so that if it's not
Speaker 1: you and that idea, you can still get the license
Speaker 1: because you can say, oh no, I look differently ten
Speaker 1: years ago. So Polis and the Democrats going to extremes
Speaker 1: to attract the largest number of people possible to come
Speaker 1: here illegally to Colorado and then to get on our roads.
Speaker 1: So why do you think he's doing that? So would
Speaker 1: love to hear from you on that. Also, want to
Speaker 1: get your take on this. We're just talking about cu Boulder,
Speaker 1: which I'm so grateful that I got the Evans scholarship
Speaker 1: for golf caddies and was allowed to go to CU Boulder,
Speaker 1: lived every single minute of it. Just love the place
Speaker 1: and was you know, student body president and so I
Speaker 1: was in often all that stuff, all that activity stuff.
Speaker 1: But now the Trump administration is deporting students here on
Speaker 1: student visas all over the country, hundreds at this point
Speaker 1: for certain types of activism. And when we come back,
Speaker 1: let's get into the details on that, and I'll ask
Speaker 1: you where you would draw the line on it. But
Speaker 1: they've they've deported hundreds at this point.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Capla.
Speaker 5: Show And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 6: Turkish students in Boston was detained and handcuffed on the
Speaker 6: street by playing clothes agents. A year ago, she wrote
Speaker 6: an opinion piece about the gods of war. Could you
Speaker 6: help us understand what the specific action she took led
Speaker 6: to her visa being revoked and what was your state
Speaker 6: department's role in that process?
Speaker 7: Kel, We revoked her visa. That's an F one visa.
Speaker 7: I believe we were voked it and here's why. And
Speaker 7: I'll say it again, I said it everywhere me be
Speaker 7: abundantly clear, Okay, if you go apply for a visa
Speaker 7: right now anywhere in the world. Let me just send
Speaker 7: this message out. If you apply for a visa to
Speaker 7: enter the United States and be a student, and you
Speaker 7: tell us that the reason why you're coming to the
Speaker 7: United States is not just because you want to write
Speaker 7: off eds, because you want to participate in movements that
Speaker 7: are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students,
Speaker 7: taking over buildings, creating a ruckus.
Speaker 2: We're not going to give you a visa.
Speaker 7: If you lie to us and get a visa and
Speaker 7: then enter the United States and with that visa participate
Speaker 7: in that sort of activity.
Speaker 2: We're going to take away your visa. Anything wrong with that.
Speaker 1: I'd love your take on this, because at this point,
Speaker 1: apparently the administration has deported hundreds, pulled their visas and
Speaker 1: deported hundreds, and you've got the left losing their minds,
Speaker 1: of course, because they support so much of this horrific
Speaker 1: radical stuff, and they want this kind of disturbance, and
Speaker 1: they want textpayer dollars used and our universities used as
Speaker 1: an incubator for the most radical and believe me, I
Speaker 1: experienced it.
Speaker 2: What student body presidency?
Speaker 1: U Hey, I ended up testifying to a grand jury
Speaker 1: because of a bunch of radicals who showed up at
Speaker 1: a student government meeting, you know, to beat the heck
Speaker 1: out of me. And so yeah, I've seen it. I've
Speaker 1: seen it up close and it's real. And so the
Speaker 1: line is so clear, right, it's not about speech unless
Speaker 1: you're actively supporting terrorist organization, then that really becomes conduct.
Speaker 2: It's not even a speech issue.
Speaker 1: But yes, anybody here on a visa who's supporting Hamas,
Speaker 1: we should get him out of the country today, or
Speaker 1: supporting any other terrorist organization, we should get him out
Speaker 1: of the country today. But then beyond that we get
Speaker 1: to the separate issue again, conduct not speech, the separate
Speaker 1: issue of disruption, disruption of educational institutions. So, no matter
Speaker 1: what the issue may be, the issue may be. We
Speaker 1: love Ryan Sholing, we want we want the Yale University
Speaker 1: change to Shooling University or Ryan University. If the way
Speaker 1: you're going to go about that is to disrupt the
Speaker 1: business of the school and take over buildings and otherwise
Speaker 1: obstruct the operation of the school, then pull the visa
Speaker 1: and get them out of here. They're not throwing anybody
Speaker 1: out of here because they say bad things about Trump,
Speaker 1: or they express opinions the administration doesn't like.
Speaker 2: But to me, this is so obvious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're supporting terrorist organizations, you're out. If you're
Speaker 1: disrupting operations at a school, you're out. Anything else. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a pattern now with the left. I think
Speaker 1: I coined the term, didn't I? Ryan, Just societal suicide
Speaker 1: by policy, and that is this is another example of it.
Speaker 1: Lynn n Highlands Ranch color out or you're under Dan
Speaker 1: Kaplis show welcome.
Speaker 8: Hi. First, I want to have a related congratulations I'm
Speaker 8: going to give to Ryan on his engagement. It's a
Speaker 8: been about a month, but these regulations. I'm so excited
Speaker 8: you Ryan, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 8: So when you mentioned Paul Is giving the licenses, so
Speaker 8: as a so, my feeling is I'm very protective, fiercelly,
Speaker 8: protective of my family and friends. Hurt my family and friends,
Speaker 8: you hurt me. So when I think of a governor,
Speaker 8: mayor or a governor of a state, I feel like
Speaker 8: their job is to kind of look at their people
Speaker 8: and their status extended family, and that you would want
Speaker 8: to do, even though you'll never meet you know, ninety
Speaker 8: nine percent of them, But to feel protective of the
Speaker 8: state that you're in charge of and want to keep
Speaker 8: the good law abiding citizens taxpayers safe and look out
Speaker 8: for them as well as you can. I don't see
Speaker 8: that happening in this situation, And for the life of me,
Speaker 8: I cannot figure out the mindset of this governor and
Speaker 8: how you feel like you're not really looked out for.
Speaker 2: Can I help with that?
Speaker 3: Land?
Speaker 2: Can I help with that?
Speaker 1: And I don't say this with any kind of malice
Speaker 1: or animosity because I personally like him, and when I've
Speaker 1: had him on the show as a guest, which was many,
Speaker 1: many times over the years, both of us enjoyed every conversation,
Speaker 1: no matter how strongly we disagreed, So you know, there's
Speaker 1: no personal edge toward Jared Poulis in my mind. So
Speaker 1: I just say this as clinically as possible. Of all
Speaker 1: the people I've ever seen in public life other than
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, maybe maybe the two are tied. I've never
Speaker 1: seen anybody so completely self absorbed and self centered as
Speaker 1: Jared Poulis. He seems to me again, will I enjoy
Speaker 1: him personally?
Speaker 2: He seems to me.
Speaker 1: As unempathetic as anybody I've ever encountered, let alone anybody
Speaker 1: in public life, and not in some sort of mean
Speaker 1: spirited way like oh I wish harmon Lynn from Highland's Ranch,
Speaker 1: but just kind of his basic persona and worldview and orientation.
Speaker 1: He just doesn't feel it. He doesn't feel people, he
Speaker 1: doesn't feel their pain. It's just kind of irrelevant to him.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we have as a governor.
Speaker 8: I can agree with that. I don't think it's particularly malicious,
Speaker 8: but the lack of awareness of the people and what
Speaker 8: the effect on the people, I think is a total
Speaker 8: lack of empathy, and it just I can't understand it.
Speaker 8: And I would want to take care of everybody in
Speaker 8: my world if I could, to take the best care
Speaker 8: of family, friends and anybody that I could, even strangers,
Speaker 8: to be protective and look at their best interests. And
Speaker 8: this doesn't feel like.
Speaker 2: That, right, Well, you're exactly right, and it isn't.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Part of it, I think is probably just this kind
Speaker 1: of secular worldview I think he has that goes back
Speaker 1: to does individual human life have inherent dignity and value?
Speaker 1: But I'll give you an example, because I think there
Speaker 1: are Democrats who, while they're wrong on policy, they do
Speaker 1: have that empathy, they do feel it, they do care
Speaker 1: about people. One would be Wellington Web, you know, and
Speaker 1: I disagreed with him on plenty of policy. I mean
Speaker 1: that reached a very high level, right, But that is
Speaker 1: a Democrat who I think had true empathy. He felt it,
Speaker 1: he felt people, he felt for people. He just had
Speaker 1: some bad policies. But Jared Polis, no, that's one really
Speaker 1: cold fish.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, thank you Lynn, hear from it.
Speaker 2: But on a brighter note, Ryan's getting married. Are we invited,
Speaker 2: by the way, Yeah, you're invited.
Speaker 4: Okays lost in the mail.
Speaker 1: Right because I know they're like fifteen feet between, but
Speaker 1: he has to go to the post office mallets so
Speaker 1: he can say it got lost.
Speaker 2: In the mail.
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be an evite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, evite okay, which means everyone but Dan, hey, Lynn,
Speaker 1: thank you for the call there open line Friday, as
Speaker 1: you can tell three or three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five text d A n A five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. Poulus's latest gift to those here illegally.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Cool, isn't it?
Speaker 1: I mean, first Spring just feels different, right, and then
Speaker 1: you know what's coming behind that, which is summer, and
Speaker 1: then fall, which is even better. So just a wonderful
Speaker 1: time of the year. Let's go to our fiery phone lines.
Speaker 1: We're covering a lot of really interesting stuff this afternoon.
Speaker 1: I won't take the time now to set it up,
Speaker 1: but you'll get the gist through the calls and then
Speaker 1: love to hear from me. You can text d An
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine this time on Monday.
Speaker 2: Please don't miss it.
Speaker 1: We're going to have officials from the Elizabeth School District
Speaker 1: in studio and they'll be reading from the ninth teen
Speaker 1: books that they want to keep off the school shelves
Speaker 1: as obscene and inappropriate for the kids in the schools.
Speaker 1: The ACLU has gone to court to force them to
Speaker 1: keep the books on the shelves. You know, And as
Speaker 1: we have this conversation Monday, love to get your thoughts
Speaker 1: on why is the left so intent on sexualizing the young?
Speaker 1: Why is that part of the leftist agent? I think
Speaker 1: there's some obvious answers, but love to get yours. Carol,
Speaker 1: you're on the Dan Caplis.
Speaker 2: She'll welcome.
Speaker 9: Hey there, Dan. I love your show and I'm a
Speaker 9: longtime listener, But I am curious sometimes when you are
Speaker 9: describing people like Polish and Obama, you seem to like,
Speaker 9: I know you want to differentiate between behavior and like,
Speaker 9: I don't know how to explain like the person that
Speaker 9: they are, And it seems like you'll say things like
Speaker 9: Polish and Obama, you know, I get along fine with them,
Speaker 9: they're nice people, but then you'll describe their character traits
Speaker 9: as being selfish and I don't know, things like that.
Speaker 9: But it's like you tipso so much, almost to where
Speaker 9: you're overcompensating, and it's like, let's call a spade a spade.
Speaker 9: I mean Obama and Paulis are very self centered that
Speaker 9: that takes them out of the category of being nice
Speaker 9: people as far as I'm concerned, And there's nothing wrong
Speaker 9: with just being more bold about it. But to tiptoe
Speaker 9: around and say that and then say, but they're probably
Speaker 9: really nice and I get along with them, it's like
Speaker 9: those are some severe character flaws that mean they're really
Speaker 9: not nice people. That makes any sense.
Speaker 1: No, I'm so glad you called because that's it's a
Speaker 1: very fair question. But let me start with the Hey, Dan,
Speaker 1: you need to be more bold. I would think going
Speaker 1: on the public airwaves and saying of the sitting governor
Speaker 1: that he may be the single coldest person I've ever encountered,
Speaker 1: and that he just doesn't feel for or care for
Speaker 1: other people would seem a pretty bold statement. Now, I
Speaker 1: say it to be I say it not to be bold,
Speaker 1: but because I believe it to be true.
Speaker 2: Now, the other piece, and.
Speaker 1: It's a fair question, is how can I then say
Speaker 1: I like that person or I enjoy that person.
Speaker 2: While we're together.
Speaker 1: Now with Obama, I've never met him and never talked
Speaker 1: to him. I'm just making that observation from a distance.
Speaker 1: But with Obama, I could see why lots of people
Speaker 1: like him. I could see why lots of people would
Speaker 1: find him to be charismatic and inspirational. I just think
Speaker 1: that his ideology is so horrible for this country that
Speaker 1: you've got to talk about it. But let's get back
Speaker 1: to Polis, who I have had a lot of contact with.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if I've ever met him in person,
Speaker 1: but I've interviewed him so often on the show, and
Speaker 1: to me, what it is, Carol is and I don't
Speaker 1: mean to do a goodie two shoes thing, but I
Speaker 1: just think the way I was raised and just my
Speaker 1: worldview and everything else. I default toward personally liking people.
Speaker 1: I default toward a position of love. I feel so
Speaker 1: incredibly grateful for all the breaks I've been given that
Speaker 1: I just tend to default to liking people and looking
Speaker 1: for the best in them. So when a guy like
Speaker 1: Jared Polis comes on the show so many times over
Speaker 1: the years and we're able to have these friendly conversations
Speaker 1: where we're disagreeing on big issues, I like that. I
Speaker 1: appreciated him coming on and there's just a positivity there.
Speaker 1: It doesn't stop me from seeing the reality of his
Speaker 1: policies and his lack of empathy. But why can't you
Speaker 1: still kind of enjoy the person at the same time
Speaker 1: enjoy whatever good.
Speaker 2: There is.
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 9: And that is very altruistic, and and I do respect
Speaker 9: you for that. I guess sometimes it seems like there's
Speaker 9: a little bit of over compensation to the side of
Speaker 9: almost erasing the destruction of things, you know, the destruction
Speaker 9: and the chaos that they cause. And may don't have
Speaker 9: to know him personally.
Speaker 2: What do you mean by overcompensating.
Speaker 9: Well, I think maybe by just knowing what we know
Speaker 9: about Polis and Obama, whether we've met him in person
Speaker 9: or not. I don't. I think just being more straightforward
Speaker 9: about you know, these people have some serious character flaws.
Speaker 2: Exactly what I said.
Speaker 9: All I know, but then you kind of you kind
Speaker 9: of like brush it over, like you know, but they're,
Speaker 9: you know, kind of like they're good people like we
Speaker 9: all are. We all make mistakes, but they're actively, actively
Speaker 9: hyper focused on doing things that they know are not
Speaker 9: good for our daid in our country.
Speaker 1: But Carol, I don't think I've ever said is a
Speaker 1: good person or Obama is a good person. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've ever said that. I've said I enjoy Polis,
Speaker 1: and I've always enjoyed our conversations, etc. I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever said he's a good person. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to sit here and say, oh, Jared Poulis is a
Speaker 1: bad person. What I'm saying is he has actively supported
Speaker 1: and advanced evil. And that's a big deal. Now, Can
Speaker 1: I still not everything he's done is evil? Not everything
Speaker 1: he's supported is evil, But he has actively practiced and
Speaker 1: advanced evil things. And let me clarify that practiced evil
Speaker 1: things now that could be read wrong. He has used
Speaker 1: his position as governor to actively support and advance truly
Speaker 1: evil things.
Speaker 2: And when you're.
Speaker 1: Actively practicing and when you're actively advancing the dismemberment of
Speaker 1: children at nine months moments away from birth, that's actively
Speaker 1: advancing evil. But I can still enjoy him personally and
Speaker 1: whilst speaking publicly and sometimes at great personal cost about
Speaker 1: the evil that he advances.
Speaker 2: I don't see the disconnect there. I can see why
Speaker 2: you do. I'm not faulting you for that.
Speaker 1: Personally, I don't feel the disconnect because I think our
Speaker 1: marching orders are to love and to love everybody to
Speaker 1: the full extent. We can speak the truth about the
Speaker 1: evil they are doing, but do everything possible to love
Speaker 1: them as individuals.
Speaker 9: Yeah. I see your point, and I do think you
Speaker 9: are a very kind hearted person, and maybe I should
Speaker 9: be more that way.
Speaker 3: But I oh no, no, I.
Speaker 9: Guess it just starrishaded me a little bit. When I
Speaker 9: heard them, It's like.
Speaker 1: Damn, come on, yeah yeah, yeah, well all right, but no,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Colin, if you're thinking it.
Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of people are.
Speaker 9: But what thank you for talking?
Speaker 1: No, no, anytime, appreciate the conversation. Let's go to Jim
Speaker 1: for once. If Jim's the gym, I think he is.
Speaker 1: For once he calls while there's still some time left
Speaker 1: in the show. Because there's a Jim who always calls
Speaker 1: with a minute left and he wants to disagree about something,
Speaker 1: And I say, why don't you call earlier? I'd love
Speaker 1: to do that, Jim, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: I'm calling earlier, Dan, just to make it happy.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, But Jim, you're calling right before a
Speaker 1: break Can you wait till the other side, and can
Speaker 1: you give people a preview of what I'm wrong about?
Speaker 3: I want to know what you think of Trump's demands
Speaker 3: of Zelensky.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's a good one. That's a good one, my friend. Well,
Speaker 2: thank you for calling on that.
Speaker 1: So we'll get to Jim and many others right after
Speaker 1: the breakout squeeze. In texts, We've got this text about
Speaker 1: the horrible earthquake today, right, and I think China's affected
Speaker 1: by it. Now it's a seven to two and yeah,
Speaker 1: just very sad. But I don't know that there's a
Speaker 1: talk angle there, Ryan, except have you been in an earthquake?
Speaker 3: Ryan?
Speaker 4: Not really? A little tremor in the Midwest, But those
Speaker 4: aren't the same that like Kelly grew up with in
Speaker 4: Sokel I've been.
Speaker 1: I was in a seven to two and then if
Speaker 1: I remember right, I think wasn't Karnada Hills a seven
Speaker 1: to one in LA.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll have to look that up.
Speaker 6: Are you talking about the one in like the seventies?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, because Amy and I we were engaged when it happened,
Speaker 1: because we were out in California together when it happened,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't in Granada Hills.
Speaker 2: We were down in Newport.
Speaker 1: But then we really got shipped by it, and then
Speaker 1: we both ended up doing coverage.
Speaker 2: He had to go up to the NBC studios and
Speaker 2: I had to go Yep.
Speaker 5: The worst one I ever had was north Ridge by
Speaker 5: Oh that's what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2: Yeah, north Ridge?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Was that over seven?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Because there's five?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Mean, what are those odds of being in two
Speaker 1: and in both of you? You know, it's weird. In
Speaker 1: both of them. We reported them in Denver, Okay, before
Speaker 1: they were well no, no, no, the north Ridge one,
Speaker 1: we reported it in Denver before it was reported.
Speaker 2: On the LA stations.
Speaker 1: Oh really, because the night before I said to Ami, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's going to be an earthquake in the morning, and
Speaker 1: here's what you do and to protect yourself. And so
Speaker 1: I woke up just before it hit, and the second
Speaker 1: it hit, I called Gus Murkis on the KOA Morning
Speaker 1: Show and Gus on air said, Dan, you've been drinking.
Speaker 2: Go back to sleep because they're checking the wires. There's
Speaker 2: no reported any Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so we reported it on KOA before it was
Speaker 1: reported on the LA stations.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Well, you know what scary. I should
Speaker 2: have got some kind of Well the scarier.
Speaker 6: Was we actually had a five point five aftershock about
Speaker 6: an hour after.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, no, because I think by then, Kelly
Speaker 1: I was on site at that collapsed department complex. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: and when that after shot. So yeah, we're so fortunate
Speaker 1: in colorad or not to have that. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kaplash Jan I'm here. That is
Speaker 2: a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I wanted to. You know, during the Iraq War,
Speaker 3: I called you up and Donald Trump had just said, Hey,
Speaker 3: as long as we got our troops in there, let's
Speaker 3: take all the oil. And I called you up. And
Speaker 3: I asked you what you thought about that, and you
Speaker 3: said you thoroughly disagreed with it, as I did. But
Speaker 3: right now I kind of hear Donald Trump saying the
Speaker 3: same thing. He's saying, Hey, Zelenski, we gave you all
Speaker 3: this money, one hundred billion dollars. You want our support,
Speaker 3: You got to give us half of your gas and
Speaker 3: oil and all your mineral rights in perpetuity. And I
Speaker 3: think that's just outrageous. They're fighting for their lives, and
Speaker 3: they're weak, and they do need our help, and we're
Speaker 3: just looking to exploit it to make money off of them.
Speaker 2: I think that's a very jaded few, Jim.
Speaker 1: But first of all, please acknowledge that I was right
Speaker 1: about a rock when I said Trump wasn't going to
Speaker 1: do that, and he didn't.
Speaker 2: Okay. So now we move on.
Speaker 1: To Ukraine, and Trump is not saying what you say.
Speaker 1: He's saying, Obviously, Trump wants the mineral rights deal, and
Speaker 1: I think they're probably going to sign that in the
Speaker 1: next week or two. I haven't seen Trump anywhere say
Speaker 1: give us half your oil revenues in perpetuity. And then,
Speaker 1: my good friend, to the broader point about Ukraine needs
Speaker 1: us Ukraine needs US, and we've been there for Ukraine.
Speaker 1: But what Ukraine needs one hundred times more than US
Speaker 1: is Ukraine needs Europe to commit and Europe to say
Speaker 1: we're putting boots on the ground to stop Putin from
Speaker 1: taking Ukraine because that's the only way Ukraine wins.
Speaker 2: But Europe won't do that.
Speaker 1: So the US has been there for Ukraine and Europe
Speaker 1: has not been and that's why Evil Putin is going
Speaker 1: to gain territory.
Speaker 3: Dan, I beg to difference with you. Really, we have
Speaker 3: a factual problem here because you know, everything that I've
Speaker 3: read in just the past three days spelled out what
Speaker 3: we are asking from Zolensky. Zelinski complained. He said it's
Speaker 3: the fourth change that we've made, and that they want
Speaker 3: to have a five person board that will be controlled.
Speaker 3: It will be three Americans and two Ukrainians to vote
Speaker 3: on who gets the money and where it goes. And
Speaker 3: it's just an exorbitant the man, the person, it seems
Speaker 3: I wouldn't try and if I could just give you, well,
Speaker 3: please please do No. This is what I feel like.
Speaker 3: I feel like Putin is going into the Ukraine and
Speaker 3: he's really raping that country. I feel like, right now,
Speaker 3: we are looking to rob them.
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, that's fundamentally unfair about Trump and
Speaker 1: the US. The first part is right, Putin is seeking
Speaker 1: to rape that nation, and he has raped and murdered
Speaker 1: that nation. And it's only because of the incredible bravery
Speaker 1: of the people of Ukraine that that nation still exists
Speaker 1: to the extent it does. But you're being fundamentally unfair
Speaker 1: to Trump and to the US to say we're going
Speaker 1: to rob him. Listen, the only reason that Putin was
Speaker 1: able to rape and murder Ukraine is because of Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's weakness. Putin did not go into Ukraine when Trump
Speaker 1: was present, and he went in under Obama, and he
Speaker 1: went and under Biden. So Trump is the one who
Speaker 1: has actually protected Ukraine. Remember, and you know this to
Speaker 1: be true, Jim right, Obama sent him blankets and and.
Speaker 2: You know Trump sent him weapons.
Speaker 1: So to blame Trump for what's happening in Ukraine, I
Speaker 1: think is perverse.
Speaker 3: I'm not blaming them for starting it, Dan, but I'm
Speaker 3: blaming them for what he's doing right now. I thought
Speaker 3: his statement that Ukraine started the war was just so unbelieved.
Speaker 3: It just shocked me.
Speaker 2: Well and I think Trump backed off that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was incorrect, and I think Trump backed off that.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna, if you're point to, if you're
Speaker 1: going to look at this whole situation and you're going
Speaker 1: to be sitting here blaming Trump because of one overstatement
Speaker 1: or overreaction in the moment when Zelensky's attacking Trump publicly,
Speaker 1: I think that's fundamentally unfair. What I don't get, Jim,
Speaker 1: and we enjoy you on the show. What I don't
Speaker 1: get is I've never heard you call this show to
Speaker 1: criticize Biden for his weakness that led to the rape
Speaker 1: and pillaging of Ukraine. You call and you hammer Trump
Speaker 1: when they didn't invade under Trump and Trump's trying to
Speaker 1: bring peace and save a lot of lives.
Speaker 3: Biden authorized one hundred and eighty billion dollars worth of assistance.
Speaker 3: Trump wants to cut it.
