Speaker 1: so much to savor, doesn't mean there aren't challenges, but
Speaker 1: it'd be boring without challenges, right, So fire at will
Speaker 1: three or three seven one three A two five five
Speaker 1: the number text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: A young star has been born in the US Congress.
Speaker 1: Gabe Evans will join us at five thirty six, looking
Speaker 1: forward to that. The entire delegation really acquitted itself well
Speaker 1: in questioning lawless Mike Johnston, the Mary of Denver this week,
Speaker 1: and will continue to place some of that fun sound
Speaker 1: for you, and then catching up on some of the
Speaker 1: news of the day. It's interesting, I'm still getting these
Speaker 1: texts about Justice Barrett Amy Cony Barrett just claiming at
Speaker 1: this point that she's obviously a Trump in the way
Speaker 1: she looked at the President the other night during his
Speaker 1: epic event, his epic speech, and this last Supreme Court decision,
Speaker 1: which I think was very, very wrongly decided respectfully. But no,
Speaker 1: I went back I watch that tape, I'd seen it live.
Speaker 1: I just don't see what people are seeing in that.
Speaker 1: Plus I just know enough about this justice, never met her,
Speaker 1: but enough about her to just have total confidence that
Speaker 1: even though there'll be some decisions I don't agree with
Speaker 1: their decisions where she truly believed she was following the
Speaker 1: law and the facts. Wherever they led without fear or favor.
Speaker 1: But personally, I think we're very lucky to have her
Speaker 1: on the court, and I think she's going to be
Speaker 1: a great justice, since she already has been. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the Dobbs decision. But that's not the main
Speaker 1: topic today. We don't have a main topic today. We've
Speaker 1: got a lot of different things going on. One of
Speaker 1: the things I threw out there just asking you for
Speaker 1: a favor here is if you have any idea for
Speaker 1: some fresh blood as fill in hosts, because we have
Speaker 1: this group of superstars who we will continue to be
Speaker 1: fortunate to have on air when I'm in trial, but
Speaker 1: we wanted to add a couple of new folks and
Speaker 1: just taking some suggestions. We've had some great suggestions already
Speaker 1: during the show today and I think one or two
Speaker 1: of them have already accepted, right, Sheriff Rames correct Sheriff
Speaker 1: Steve Raimes. He will be a phenomenal villain host. And
Speaker 1: a lot of other great suggestions, and of course such
Speaker 1: another another great example there, this one, Dan, I would
Speaker 1: love it if you could get Joe Williams to sit
Speaker 1: in for you. I'm sorry, joke could talk about it.
Speaker 1: That would be so cool, wouldn't it. For years I
Speaker 1: would drive home listening before it must have been before
Speaker 1: I started on air, right, or maybe I was doing
Speaker 1: a different time slot then, but would listen to Irvin
Speaker 1: Joe that sports show, which, yeah, if you weren't around
Speaker 1: in Colorado then it was a great sports You say,
Speaker 1: Joe Williams, What about Joe Kaplis. Oh, that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: He's a little busy right now, I know, but when
Speaker 1: he's not, say a prayer for me. He's in big
Speaker 1: competition law school next Monday night. Good for him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 1: That their team is in the semi final. It's a
Speaker 1: pretty big deal. But what a great idea that is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'd be excellent. I just love to get him going
Speaker 1: on that, love to get him going on that. Dan,
Speaker 1: Ryan is always my favorite. Yeah, me too. He's just
Speaker 1: too big time for this show. A true at all.
Speaker 2: It's just like I do the two hours beforehand, and
Speaker 2: yeah I can't do it. I will do it Little Friday.
Speaker 2: I think it's more fun for the listeners though, just
Speaker 2: to change it up. I'll still be involved like I
Speaker 2: am in this show. But if we had like Sheriff
Speaker 2: Steve Reams in that chair, John Fabricatory in that chair,
Speaker 2: and I Dick Wadhams.
Speaker 1: Who's going to take attams? We always work well together,
Speaker 1: he and I. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, Dan host suggestion
Speaker 1: amy Kaplish. You know that is such a wonderful idea.
Speaker 1: Haven't you thought of that before? And she's just not
Speaker 1: gonna do it, you know, not me. But we got
Speaker 1: contacted by what's the biggest satellite? Serious? Serious? I think
Speaker 1: it was them. Where aren't there two of them? But
Speaker 1: you used to be em No, I think it was
Speaker 1: was serious. Yeah, we got contacted about doing a show
Speaker 1: we would co host, and that thing got shut down
Speaker 1: in a hurry. There is no doubt, there is no doubt.
Speaker 1: But yeah, she has no interest in any of that.
Speaker 1: Very private person. Uh, Dan, how about Mike from Greeley.
Speaker 1: There be any yeah, they mean Eurie Mic there. I
Speaker 1: don't think there be any audience left now they've abandoned us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they would, and they should and Kelly transitions and the
Speaker 1: Titanic listen. I don't mind turning the show over to
Speaker 1: some lefties, like somebody suggested Craig if Craig wanted to
Speaker 1: come in into a show in a heartbeat, Comrade Kyle
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. Out off Kyle Clark to a show
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat, you know. And here's the point. Conservatives
Speaker 1: are not afraid of the opposing views because we know
Speaker 1: we're right and they're wrong. So when you put some
Speaker 1: intelligent lefty on, yeah, that's not going to bother a
Speaker 1: conservative because they'll be interesting to listen to. And then
Speaker 1: it becomes sport for the conservative just poking holes in
Speaker 1: the lefties argument. You know, I was a bit of
Speaker 1: a lefty when I started on air. Didn't view myself
Speaker 1: that way, but I was when I started on air
Speaker 1: back in trying to remember early nineties. And then it took.
Speaker 1: It took about six months on air with callers politely
Speaker 1: sometimes not so politely, pointing out holes in my logic
Speaker 1: and reasoning in fact, and that played a big role
Speaker 1: in me becoming a Republican right because listen, what are
Speaker 1: we on this planet for blink of and I? And
Speaker 1: how pathetic would it be if any of us were
Speaker 1: just self imprisoned, you know, in some cage without bars,
Speaker 1: because we were born a Democrat or born a Republican.
Speaker 1: So for me, you know, because of my parents, God
Speaker 1: rests their souls. For me, it was always about pursuit
Speaker 1: of the truth. And as I followed the truth, it
Speaker 1: led me from the Democratic Party the Republican Party. Doesn't
Speaker 1: mean the Democratic Party's evil and the Republican parties perfect,
Speaker 1: but the truths led me there. And so I, as
Speaker 1: a conservative, I'm never afraid of lefty views. Lefties are
Speaker 1: terrified of conservative speech because they don't have good answers
Speaker 1: to it, and that's.
Speaker 2: Why they want to shut us down and sense of
Speaker 2: that and blacklist us and downgrade.
Speaker 1: Us and can't say yeah because they can't compete with
Speaker 1: the ideas questions.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of our listeners might have dan
Speaker 2: in your journey as you evolved into a republic and
Speaker 2: we know that the life issue was a driving force
Speaker 2: behind that. But was there another tipping point or issue
Speaker 2: or something that kind of turned the tide for you, Like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm just not a Democrat anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was one other. And it's so funny you
Speaker 1: mentioned that because I remember being at this charity dinner
Speaker 1: and I won't mention his name, talking to this very
Speaker 1: very very prominent guy, extremely close to Bill Clinton e
Speaker 1: new as president at the time, and I said, man,
Speaker 1: I can't because I had voted. I think I had.
Speaker 1: I voted for Clinton the first time around. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to remember, probably, but I think I was. I think
Speaker 1: I was still a Democrat back then, wasn't I But anyway,
Speaker 1: I just said to the guy, I can't do it anymore. Man,
Speaker 1: I can't do it anymore. The life thing. And then
Speaker 1: at that time, if I remember right, there had been
Speaker 1: the disaster in Somalia, right, and it was just that
Speaker 1: the Democrats had gone so soft on national security. So
Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it anymore. But so, yeah, having
Speaker 1: made that journey, I just know conservatives are not afraid
Speaker 1: of opposing speech because it's just sport for them. Oh,
Speaker 1: there's the whole, there's the whole. There's the whole. Whack
Speaker 1: a mole. Guess ho suggestion Well County Commissioner Scott James
Speaker 1: another good one, A lot of good suggestions. I still
Speaker 1: come back to this one. Silverman and Brockler co hosting.
Speaker 1: And I would love to have Craig just sit in
Speaker 1: someday on the show. Yeah, there are so many good suggestions.
Speaker 1: Mandy Connell on a day she gets preempted by baseball.
Speaker 2: And there were many, doesn't I mean, if she's willing it,
Speaker 2: that's five hours for her.
Speaker 1: But an hour break from three to four she can
Speaker 1: hang out with me. Yeah, no, she would enjoy that.
Speaker 1: And here's another vote for Mike Crows and that's a
Speaker 1: no brainer right yet, No, we've got a slandunk god.
Speaker 1: And if you're new to the area, you don't know Mike,
Speaker 1: you would thoroughly enjoy it. So Dan best on the
Speaker 1: trials by the time you finish off of them. Trumpell
Speaker 1: of banned lesbians from women's sports? No, no, no, who
Speaker 1: is this text? The same texter over and over? Why
Speaker 1: is he on this kick about banning lesbians from women's sports.
Speaker 1: I don't get that. The biological Yeah, you can't have
Speaker 1: males playing women's sports, right And speaking of which, we
Speaker 1: have some more interesting sound on that today. So something
Speaker 1: else I'd like to do when we come back. If
Speaker 1: people are up for this, I hope they are because
Speaker 1: I think it's a real public service. It helped me
Speaker 1: last week. Is just the best pizza in Colorado because
Speaker 1: last week I got a lot of good suggestions Anthony's
Speaker 1: and now, you know, with grub hub and everything else,
Speaker 1: and I know the delivery charges are brutal, but you
Speaker 1: can get a lot of good pizzas that normally just
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been, like in whatever area you're in. You
Speaker 1: know what else somebody suggested last week? My friend Paul
Speaker 1: suggested for those people out in the South Denver Tech
Speaker 1: Center area. Yeah, yes, do you ever go to ya Yas?
Speaker 1: There's this place off Bellvue if you have to be
Speaker 1: where it is. But apparently they have very good pizza.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: I trust Paul on They were always kind of things
Speaker 2: to their broadways. Their weekend brunches were top shelf, but
Speaker 2: they kind of change what they do with that.
Speaker 1: Are you a brunch guy? I have never been a brunch.
Speaker 2: Love it because it gives you a chance to consolidate
Speaker 2: those two meals and really do it up. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: have you know for me, I like the mimosas or
Speaker 2: the Bloody Mary's.
Speaker 1: You know you can drink in the morning like that.
Speaker 2: Those kind of drinks and Bloody Marys in particular, I'm
Speaker 2: kind of fond of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, wow, that's impressive. So if anybody has ideas,
Speaker 1: this is really a public service. Just the best pizza
Speaker 1: in Colorado right now, so that in some more hard
Speaker 1: news ahead. Unfortunately you're on the Dan Kepler Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1: The best pizza in Colorado? What is it? And the
Speaker 1: thing is, it's so much more acceptable of folks now
Speaker 1: because I mean not across the state, but maybe there's
Speaker 1: something that used to be too far to drive to
Speaker 1: or get delivered. Now you forget it right there.
Speaker 2: When I came here, when I moved to here, Dan,
Speaker 2: back in twenty eighteen, I'm like, where do I go
Speaker 2: for pizza? And everybody told me Idaho Springs Bojo's, And
Speaker 2: now that's in Denver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, you got one in Denver. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: great people, they run a great operation. I'm just a
Speaker 1: thin crust guy. Yeah, I am not a deep dishes.
Speaker 1: Grew up in Chicago. Of course, you know, we'd go
Speaker 1: and we'd drive downtown and we go to who knows
Speaker 1: two ways, etc. And it was just part of the tradition.
Speaker 1: It was always good. I'm just a thin crust guy,
Speaker 1: and I mean, why would you want the thick cruss
Speaker 1: when then you're filling up your stomach and you don't
Speaker 1: have as much room for the good stuff, right, So
Speaker 1: give me a thin cruss. Like if you got the
Speaker 1: really good sausage, really good green peppers, this other stuff,
Speaker 1: you got more stomach space.
Speaker 2: Life to that point, Dan, this is where I'm trying
Speaker 2: to reconcile with you. I love g or Donald's, Lumel Noddies,
Speaker 2: pizzi Uno, and we've got an Uno around here.
Speaker 1: Amagy or Donald's Downtown.
Speaker 2: But Sixteenth Street, Mall, don't you like that style where
Speaker 2: it's it's a deep dish, but it's got that thin cross.
Speaker 2: It's not dominated by the crust. It's more like a
Speaker 2: literal pie. It's a pie.
Speaker 1: And maybe it's just a visual thing for me, not
Speaker 1: just a thing. You know, a thin crust guy, but
Speaker 1: this texture says passing this on to you because I
Speaker 1: can't get your newsroom number. At the moment, A major
Speaker 1: pile up an I twenty five southbound just prior to
Speaker 1: the monument overpassed, backed up all the way to Greenback
Speaker 1: or Greenland Drive. If you want to relay that to
Speaker 1: your listeners, that would be helpful. Thank you and appreciate
Speaker 1: what you do. Thank you for that, texture appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone lines. Eerie, Mike, welcome to
Speaker 1: the Dan Kapla Show. Erie. How you doing? Your eeries
Speaker 1: must have been burning?
Speaker 4: I'm doing just great. Uh I we agree on something
Speaker 4: I like New York's, then teach as well off those
Speaker 4: New York here and eares you have.
Speaker 1: A favorite one?
Speaker 4: So Abos?
Speaker 1: It's oh, you mean just like the franchise Abbos? But
Speaker 1: what isn't there a franchise? I thought I always thought
Speaker 1: it was a bos myself? Is it a b o? S? I?
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm pronouncing it all so we can't agree on anything?
Speaker 2: Yeah, abo apostrophe us okay, okay, good, good.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay. Hey, I'm calling to offer an apology to you,
Speaker 4: or perhaps you need to owe me an apology. I'm
Speaker 4: not sure which one.
Speaker 1: I know which one.
Speaker 4: We were talking you and I were you and I
Speaker 4: were talking about Putin and Trump and their relationship and
Speaker 4: specifically Trump's approach to Putin. But I made a comment
Speaker 4: and you took it completely wrong and took me off
Speaker 4: the air.
Speaker 1: And when you suggested.
Speaker 4: A sex act, I did not look dude, I don't
Speaker 4: know where your mind goes. But I didn't say anything
Speaker 4: about a sex act. I'm sorry, but that's that's my
Speaker 4: point about Okay, you heard that. I'm sorry, but that
Speaker 4: I did not saying.
Speaker 1: About you, and just repeat what you said so people
Speaker 1: know what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: I think you said that you liked his approach, Trump's
Speaker 4: approach to pute Putin, and I said, oh, you mean
Speaker 4: on your knees. That's what I said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when we cut off. But yeah, Mike, here's
Speaker 1: the point, and you misquoted me in there. What I
Speaker 1: said was Putin is Satan. But Trump is the only
Speaker 1: one who's been able to protect innocent from Satan. Because
Speaker 1: Satan invades Ukraine during Obama, invades Ukraine during Biden, doesn't
Speaker 1: invade it during Trump. So Trump has a way to
Speaker 1: manage Putin. And I said, is long as it works,
Speaker 1: I trust Trump on that. So I didn't hear the apology.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. I'm not hung up on apologies. You know,
Speaker 1: I want more mercy than justice for myself.
Speaker 4: Well, I want to be I want to be clear.
Speaker 4: I wasn't talking about sex.
Speaker 1: Okay, we good. No, I'm glad you. I'm glad you
Speaker 1: clarified that. Thank you, thank you, Hope you have a
Speaker 1: great weekend. I'll thank you, Mike. I in fact, I'm
Speaker 1: going to.
Speaker 2: I think that's the most harmonious end to an eerie
Speaker 2: my phone call we've ever had.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very disappointing. Eric in Denver, you're on the Dan
Speaker 1: Kapla Show, Elk Americans Greater American. I had to tell
Speaker 1: Eric he was right too earlier this week. But yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 5: Dan, you can't be serious about Amy Coney Barrett. Please
Speaker 5: tell me you're just joking. She's worse than the Libs,
Speaker 5: my brother. She votes against President the.
Speaker 6: Great President Donald Trump.
Speaker 7: Like at the time, Dan, she I mean, my god,
Speaker 7: her and Roberts they both.
Speaker 6: Need to be impeached.
Speaker 7: If I was a g BONDI I would investigate them.
Speaker 7: Are you getting some USA U S A I D
Speaker 7: money too?
Speaker 6: Is that why you vote it that way?
Speaker 1: Murkas, the weekend started early for you there, my friend. No,
Speaker 1: this is nutty stuff. You know you're not nutty, but
Speaker 1: this is nutty. I mean, Amy, Connie Barrett. You go
Speaker 1: look at her, look at her track record. I mean,
Speaker 1: has she been perfect? What human is? No? No, seriously,
Speaker 1: if you look at it, At where she has come
Speaker 1: down on these she has been a very, very reliable,
Speaker 1: overall originalist vote on the US Supreme Court. Every now
Speaker 1: and then she goes off in a different direction. But
Speaker 1: all I suggest, Derek, if you, if you, if you
Speaker 1: deep dive though those opinions where I say I disagree
Speaker 1: with her, Like I think one of the worst Supreme
Speaker 1: Court decisions in thirty years was the one earlier in
Speaker 1: the week upholding the District Court judge who says Trump
Speaker 1: has to send two billion in four and eight. I
Speaker 1: think that's one of the worst decisions in thirty years.
Speaker 1: But if you dig in, she always she has a rationale.
Speaker 1: I just believe she's honest and sincere and fearless, and
Speaker 1: she's going to follow the law on the facts where
Speaker 1: she believes they should lead. And just because I disagree
Speaker 1: with there doesn't mean oh, all of the sudden now
Speaker 1: she wants to be loved by the elitist on the
Speaker 1: East coast. Guess what if she wanted to be loved
Speaker 1: by the elitist on the East Coast, she wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been with the majority in Dobbs. Because once you have
Speaker 1: the courage to go there and Dobbs, you are never
Speaker 1: going to be anything other than reviled and vilified and
Speaker 1: perhaps physically attacked by some elements out there. So I
Speaker 1: think these attacks on her are unfair.
Speaker 6: You're the president and then you not me as a justice, But.
Speaker 1: That would be the wrong approach. Eric, That'd be I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm not trying to be good at two shoes.
Speaker 1: That would be the wrong approach. If if you are,
Speaker 1: it's a sacred trust, right, there are some jobs out
Speaker 1: there that are sacred trust I've always thought DA's jobs
Speaker 1: were sacred trusts, and and I think these judge jobs
Speaker 1: are sacred trusts. And if you have the kind of
Speaker 1: the ultimate sacred trust to be in a US Supreme
Speaker 1: Court justice, and you're going to play partisan politics with that,
Speaker 1: that that man that's that's already better buy an ASBESTO suit.
Speaker 1: What's that to be buried in.
Speaker 6: The threats start coming. Yeah, and Kavanaugh, why.
Speaker 1: Didn't she flip or vote on Dobbs? All those threats
Speaker 1: started coming during Dobbs Plus, Eric enjoyed the call thank you.
Speaker 1: Plus you could see those No. I think I think
Speaker 1: she is the real deal. Congressman Gabe Evans next, boy,
Speaker 1: he did a great job during the hearings, questioning lawless
Speaker 1: Mike Johnston of Denver. We'll have the congressman himself after
Speaker 1: the break on the Dan Caplass ship.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Dan Capliss Show podcast because.
Speaker 8: Of the second item that we're going to display here,
Speaker 8: which is the standard FBI fingerprint card, something that I
Speaker 8: filled out for over a decade when I was a
Speaker 8: police officer, which has those items as mandatory fields location
Speaker 8: of birth and then the citizenship. And so I've heard,
Speaker 8: being a cop in the Denver metro area that police
Speaker 8: officers in Denver are being told not to fill out
Speaker 8: those mandatory fields in the FBI fingerprint card, which could
Speaker 8: potentially indicate why you're unsure of how many of these
Speaker 8: crimes are being committed by illegal immigrants in your city.
Speaker 8: So the second question is, will you allow Denver police
Speaker 8: officers to fill out all of the information on FBI
Speaker 8: fingerprint card to including asking for and recording the citizenship status.
Speaker 1: Thank you Congressman. Right now, under city we do not
Speaker 1: ask someone status a point of contact and that does
Speaker 1: not prejudice it. Busted. He got busted by a former officer.
Speaker 1: Now Congressman Gabe Evans did marvelous job with Denver Mayor
Speaker 1: Mike Johnston the other day and there hearing Congressman, welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 4: Always great to be on with you.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. What was that like? What was that
Speaker 1: whole exchange like for you?
Speaker 9: I mean, you know my backstore. I spent twelve years
Speaker 9: in the army, another ten years in law enforcement. I
Speaker 9: am Hispanic, and so going into this whole conversation about
Speaker 9: sanctuary cities, to me was it was really a chance
Speaker 9: to be able to highlight the problems that we've seen
Speaker 9: boots on the ground in the streets and public safety
Speaker 9: in Colorado, which is that despite all of the nice
Speaker 9: sounding talking points from our governor and from our mayor
Speaker 9: about how, of course they would never interfere with getting
Speaker 9: violent criminals removed from our communities, in actual practice, they
Speaker 9: do not allow law enforcement off officers to even collect
Speaker 9: that information, which, as you just heard, is a required
Speaker 9: part of the standard booking procedure for anybody that's arrested
Speaker 9: for a crime, and furlish fingerprints are required. It has
Speaker 9: been for decades, and so just the ways behind the
Speaker 9: scenes that the governor and the mayor have worked to
Speaker 9: make it next to impossible for law enforcement to be
Speaker 9: able to even identify if somebody illegally present commits a
Speaker 9: violent crime throws complete and total cold water on their
Speaker 9: theory that they want to cooperate with the federal authorities
Speaker 9: to be able to get violent criminals out of our community,
Speaker 9: which might indicate which might be a clue in why
Speaker 9: Denver is dangerous city in the country and why Denver's
Speaker 9: homicide rate is double San Francisco's homicide rate.
Speaker 1: No, you exposed them as liars, is what you did,
Speaker 1: because you know they like to twist statistics, which you
Speaker 1: also called them on congressmen and claim they don't crimes
Speaker 1: actually going down. But the most critical question is how
Speaker 1: many crimes are being committed by people who shouldn't even
Speaker 1: be here, And you brilliantly zeroed in right on that
Speaker 1: and you busted him. They make sure that the public
Speaker 1: can't know that answer by not collecting that information.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and if you don't have that information, then that
Speaker 9: also means you can't work with your federal counterparts to
Speaker 9: get violent criminals Trendia Aragua, like the Cinaloa cartel, like
Speaker 9: the Hallisco cartel, removed from our communities. And we know
Speaker 9: from criminal intelligence that the vast majority of fentanyl that
Speaker 9: is trafficked in the Denver metro area is trafficked by
Speaker 9: one of those two cartels, the Cineloa cartell or the
Speaker 9: Hallisco cartel. And so when we have these sanctuary city
Speaker 9: and state policies that don't allow police officers to even
Speaker 9: collect that information when somebody has been arrested for a crime,
Speaker 9: then of course those drug dealers are going to be
Speaker 9: released back into the community because there's no way to
Speaker 9: even flag for ice that that individual needs to be removed.
Speaker 1: Right, which leads to this core question. I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: thought about a lot, because, Okay, you devote your life
Speaker 1: to public service, military law enforcement jobs that could get
Speaker 1: you killed, you know, helping others. These people are devoting
Speaker 1: their lives to do in everything they can to protect criminals.
Speaker 1: People who are here legally who have also committed other crimes.
Speaker 1: That's the point. So why do you think they're doing that?
Speaker 9: I mean, and that is the true mystery and the
Speaker 9: true frustration here, you know, because to be completely clear,
Speaker 9: right again, I'm Hispanic. My grandfather immigrated to this country.
Speaker 9: He got his citizenship in World War Two fighting in
Speaker 9: Patent's Third Army in the Western Front in Europe. So
Speaker 9: this is not a conversation about immigration. We are a
Speaker 9: country of immigrants. This is a conversation about the rule
Speaker 9: of law when you have people illegally present, who are
Speaker 9: committing other crimes and who are still being protected by
Speaker 9: the governor, by the mayor with these sanctuary city policies.
Speaker 9: And you know, I wish I could.
Speaker 7: Tell you I knew what their end game was, but all.
Speaker 9: I can tell you is the facts, which is that
Speaker 9: it is jeopardizing public safety. Denver's the tenth most dangerous
Speaker 9: city in the country right now. Six years ago we
Speaker 9: didn't even make the top fifty list, and now we're
Speaker 9: the tenth. In twenty twenty four, the Dea seed a
Speaker 9: record amount of sentinyl in the in Colorado. And again
Speaker 9: fentanyl comes to Colorado because of the Cinelo and the
Speaker 9: Harlisco cartels, which completely contradicts Mayor Johnson's statement that crime
Speaker 9: is actually going down. Well, no, not when you're getting
Speaker 9: record fentanyl seizures from two known cartels. And at the
Speaker 9: end of the day, it all leads to the end
Speaker 9: result of you know, in the case of Sentinel, it
Speaker 9: is the number one killer of Americans ages eighteen to
Speaker 9: forty five. Every month, more people die from fentanyl than
Speaker 9: die in the highre September eleventh terrorist attack. That's why
Speaker 9: the new Trump administration designated these cartels as terrorist organizations,
Speaker 9: and the mayor and the governor continue to double down
Speaker 9: on policies that provide sanctuary and safe harbor for those
Speaker 9: criminal organizations to operate in our communities.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Congressman Gay Evans our guest. At the same time, Congressmen,
Speaker 1: as you know, you had fourteen very prominent, big time
Speaker 1: restaurant owners send this very angry letter to the mayor
Speaker 1: saying that that Denver's falling apart around them and pointing
Speaker 1: out how we don't have a homeless problem, we have
Speaker 1: an addiction problem. And then they tell all these stories
Speaker 1: of what's causing their restaurants to fail or will cause
Speaker 1: the restaurant to fail. With all these people addicted and
Speaker 1: most of it's fentanyl, and yet still Mayor Johnston would
Speaker 1: rather protect people here illegally who have committed other crimes
Speaker 1: than protect his city and businesses in these restaurants. Well,
Speaker 1: no matter what his motive is, what can be done?
Speaker 1: What can be at this point by the Feds? Does
Speaker 1: Trump's dog need to take any action? Do they have
Speaker 1: a legal basis to take action?
Speaker 9: Yeah, So there's a couple of things there.
Speaker 4: Actually.
Speaker 9: Number one is the act that I just introduced in Congress.
Speaker 9: It's called the Uplift Act, unhandcuffing police to locate an
Speaker 9: interdict foreign transgressors. It does a couple of things, but
Speaker 9: relevant to this conversation, it actually indemnifies and extends hold
Speaker 9: harmless protections to state and local law enforcement who choose
Speaker 9: to actually work with their federal immigration counterparts in order
Speaker 9: to get criminals who are committing other crimes out of
Speaker 9: our communities. Because right now, if you're a Denver police
Speaker 9: officer and you go work with ICE or you go
Speaker 9: work with DEA in ways that are not currently permitted
Speaker 9: as a result of these sanctuary city policies, you can
Speaker 9: be punished for doing that. Potentially up to and including
Speaker 9: losing your job. And so my bill that we introduced
Speaker 9: a couple of weeks ago basically indemnifies them and says
Speaker 9: that if they are working with their federal counterparts for
Speaker 9: the purposes of that action, as long as it's done
Speaker 9: in good faith and in connection to a known or
Speaker 9: suspected crime, indemnified by the US government.
Speaker 1: Boy, I love that. I love that in our last
Speaker 1: forty seconds together, and grateful for you, Tom. I know
Speaker 1: it's been a crazy week for you. Do you think
Speaker 1: we'll see Trump's DOJ come after Johnston and Denver the
Speaker 1: way it's gone after New York State in Hulkell?
Speaker 9: Who can say? I think one of the things that
Speaker 9: came to light, obviously with my line of questioning around
Speaker 9: the fingerprint card is that if a law enforcement agency
Speaker 9: like the Denver Police Department is being directed to provide
Speaker 9: what is effectively bad data to the federal government and
Speaker 9: to the criminal justice databases, there definitely is an are
Speaker 9: you to be made the government being able to question
Speaker 9: why Denver is giving them bad data and be able
Speaker 9: to take legal action to it sure at least the
Speaker 9: fidelity of the data that's being transmitted.
Speaker 1: Well Congressman, Hey, appreciate your great work. It's it's fun
Speaker 1: to watch you now in action, and so glad you're
Speaker 1: there and look forward to the next conversation.
Speaker 9: Always I enjoy being on the show with you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, you take care of Congressman Dave Evans,
Speaker 1: the real deal. Good to see you can text d
Speaker 1: An five seven, seven, three nine. They're kind of blowing
Speaker 1: up this afternoon and we're taking suggestions on some additional
Speaker 1: fill in host. I've got probably seven jury trials, all
Speaker 1: big cases between now and the end of the year,
Speaker 1: and so we're going to have a lot of these
Speaker 1: superstar fill ins. And as you know, we've already got
Speaker 1: a great crew, but we want to add a little
Speaker 1: fresh blood. So any suggestions text d An five, seven,
Speaker 1: seventh through nine. Getting a lot of great ones. Have
Speaker 1: a kind of serious news story to do when Quebec
Speaker 1: not the biggest thing in the world, but it might
Speaker 1: turn into something really big and nobody's talking about it now,
Speaker 1: so I want to make sure it's on your radar.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast text exploding.
Speaker 1: Want to get to that and then I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: insert some kind of newsy stuff, but just have this
Speaker 1: on your radar because if this reporting is true, and
Speaker 1: Sean Spicer suggesting that it is, then the Trump DOJ
Speaker 1: I think, is going to go hard after these Obama people.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is true or not, but
Speaker 1: just have it on your radar.
Speaker 10: With respect to Russia, there are now serious reports the
Speaker 10: Victoria Newland and Susan Rice and others from the Obama adminision,
Speaker 10: the Biden administration, we're undermining the deal and telling and
Speaker 10: advising Zelensky not to do that.
Speaker 1: Now, if that's true. If that's not true, that's great.
Speaker 10: If it is true, there needs to be equal prosecution
Speaker 10: under the Logan Act.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So again, I don't know if it's true, but
Speaker 1: you know, Trump not shy, and if it is true,
Speaker 1: I expect we're going to see something on that front.
Speaker 1: Dan and Ryan, how do you pronounce this?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: L A N n Es Pizza in Pueblo best ever?
Speaker 1: Have not been there, but good to know. Dan. There's
Speaker 1: a video of Justice Barrett that chows her reaction to
Speaker 1: Trump after a speech. There is no love lost there,
Speaker 1: Jim Jim. I went back and looked at that last
Speaker 1: night because I saw your text. I'm just not seeing
Speaker 1: the same thing. It must be in the eye of
Speaker 1: the beholder. And again I have great I really have
Speaker 1: great confidence in Justice Barrett. And I don't think that
Speaker 1: the concerns right now are justified. I believe me. I
Speaker 1: get how bad that last Scotus opinion was a few
Speaker 1: days ago, but it's a human endeavor, and I think
Speaker 1: every now and then, even the best are going to
Speaker 1: get it wrong. I think, respectfully, I think she's a
Speaker 1: great Justice. Dan. The best pizza in Denver in the
Speaker 1: late sixties was it Bonnie bray Boy. That was always
Speaker 1: my wife's favorite. Sadly gone? And it is Dan Nicolas
Speaker 1: Pizza and I co o l Os good to that
Speaker 1: in Highlands Ranch, Dan, your guest co host could be
Speaker 1: eerie Mike and Eric. Interesting, that would be quite a combo. Dan.
Speaker 1: What is Blue Pan Pizza? Do you know?
Speaker 4: Ryan?
Speaker 1: Apparently it's something Hechigan. Okay, that's a Detroit style pizza.
Speaker 1: They're very good.
Speaker 2: It's run by a former University of Michigan football player.
Speaker 2: And I walked in there one day, real quick story.
Speaker 2: I look upon the wall. Their pennants for the Red
Speaker 2: Wings and the Pistons and the Tigers and Lions and Michigan.
Speaker 2: I'm wearing my Michigan state Here I go, Hey, if
Speaker 2: I brought you a Michigan state flag, would you put
Speaker 2: that up? And she just looked at me, the bartender,
Speaker 2: and said, no, why not. She's what the owner played
Speaker 2: for Michigan. I'm like, I get it, but we're Big
Speaker 2: ten champions of basketball and hockey, so I just want
Speaker 2: to say that, yeah, and.
Speaker 1: What position did you play? No, I'm kidding. A fan
Speaker 1: from the stands on watching on TV.
Speaker 2: There's Bluepan and then there's a new one called three
Speaker 2: one three, which I think Kelly has.
Speaker 1: Been to with Adam as well.
Speaker 2: Ye good, and that's a good And they have Fago,
Speaker 2: which anybody that's in michigander out there. That's a very
Speaker 2: specific Detroit brand pop.
Speaker 1: It's really sweet though, Yeah, yes it is, but rock
Speaker 1: and Rye get it. It'll change your life wonderful and
Speaker 1: if you're in Chicago, it's Palermo's another suggestion for Ryan
Speaker 1: to fill in. As I've mentioned before, nobody better than Ryan.
Speaker 1: But Ryan's too big time for this show now well,
Speaker 1: and he's tired by the end of his show before ours.
Speaker 1: Dan Peyton Manning the early Am guy, and k how Mike. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've had a number of Michael Brown suggestions. If you're
Speaker 1: in the Denver markt Michael Brown. He's just a superstar
Speaker 1: and there's no way that he would do this show,
Speaker 1: nor should he, because he's he's got that early morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe remotely, possibly from his home, but even then
Speaker 2: that would be only imagine the daggers.
Speaker 1: He would shoot us with a look. But he is
Speaker 1: so good. He does mourning, he's great. Six thirty kids
Speaker 1: w in Denver, Dan host suggestion Ammy Kaplis. Were getting
Speaker 1: a lot of those, and I think there's a better
Speaker 1: chance of getting her to vote for Trump's third term
Speaker 1: than to coming to a radio show. She's a very
Speaker 1: private person, which is odd for somebody who was a
Speaker 1: main news anchor for a decade. But Dan, what about
Speaker 1: your fellow Culum and former eight fifty k O personality
Speaker 1: Big Al Alfred Williams. There's just nobody better than Big L.
Speaker 1: I mean, just it'd be interesting. Is just an extraordinary human.
Speaker 2: Pretty certain his politics are different from ours as well.
Speaker 1: I have no idea Kelly has no idea, Kelly, but
Speaker 1: it truly would not matter to me at all, just
Speaker 1: a great human. Hey what do you think? Sorry to
Speaker 1: get newsy here, but what do you think Trump is
Speaker 1: talking about? Here? But then that's going to be the
Speaker 1: next thing you'll be talking about is Irn? What's going
Speaker 1: to happen with the Ran?
Speaker 10: And there'll be some interesting days ahead, That's all I
Speaker 10: can tell you. You know, with Dad, the final strokes
Speaker 10: with Iran, that's going to be an interesting time.
Speaker 1: What do you think he's talking about there? You know,
Speaker 1: the president's a man of action. He goes on to say,
Speaker 1: we can't let Aroan have nukes, right, he's a man
Speaker 1: of action.
Speaker 2: I think he wouldn't be against a very precise strike
Speaker 2: of nuclear facilities in Iran, but that would be a
Speaker 2: big gamble, I think.
Speaker 1: I think the reference to strokes means some kind of deal.
Speaker 1: Oh he preferred piece through strength kind of thing. But
Speaker 1: but no, Iran cannot have nukes and Trump has been
Speaker 1: very consistent about that, and others have said it. But
Speaker 1: Trump actually has the backbone and the will necessary to
Speaker 1: accomplish it. So hopefully it's another piece through strength example there.
Speaker 1: But what a week cannot wait for next one? So
Speaker 1: hope you guys have a great weekend. It was what
Speaker 1: plans anything going on?
Speaker 2: I'm going to see Bobby Collins that Comedy Works South tonight.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's wonder. He was in studio with me
Speaker 1: earlier today. You know, I think I heard you talking
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was the last time you went to
Speaker 2: comedy Works then? Oh man, I always enjoy comedy. We
Speaker 2: got to get it bat it's been aching and they've
Speaker 2: got the one in the Tech center too.
Speaker 1: You know what we need. Last time I was in
Speaker 1: that building was we did one of the big battle
Speaker 1: of the talk show hosts. Sold that sucker out for charity.
Speaker 1: It turned into a brawl. I'm surprised we didn't need
Speaker 1: three police departments there. But we need to do another
Speaker 1: one of those for charity, and maybe we'll match it
Speaker 1: up with a charity boxing match the same night. Hey,
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Join us Monday please. I'm the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla Show.
