Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. We'll say it again,
Speaker 1: how lucky we are to be alive right now? What
Speaker 1: a time. I think. There is so much going on,
Speaker 1: so much of it's so much fun, so much of
Speaker 1: it's so good for the country, and still plenty to
Speaker 1: get ticked about. So perfect combination eight five to five
Speaker 1: for zero five eight two five five text d an
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine. Texters in Fuego that one
Speaker 1: weirdo's back saying he wants to bet is McLaren against
Speaker 1: my car. And I'm still telling you it's one of
Speaker 1: those little two inch models from the gas station, right,
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Has he sent you a picture. There's
Speaker 1: no evidence of this. I can't even remember what the
Speaker 1: bet was going to be. Speaking of which, Texter points
Speaker 1: out Meta just agreed to pay Trump twenty five million
Speaker 1: for the Los City one he did. President Trump didn't
Speaker 1: win it in court. Meta agreed to settle today, So
Speaker 1: you talk about you talk about a guy on a roll, right,
Speaker 1: and my guess is some of these other entities will
Speaker 1: be paying him before we're done as well the horrible
Speaker 1: things that were done to Trump. But yeah, he's going
Speaker 1: to pick up twenty five million from Suckerberg's meta. Hey, Colorado,
Speaker 1: Colorado Dems talk about not hiding their cards. They're obviously
Speaker 1: like temporarily insane right now, and they're always whack, right
Speaker 1: because it's not like the Democrats you know in your
Speaker 1: family or whatever. It's the crazy far left, secular left,
Speaker 1: a lot of it nationally driven that controls the Colorado
Speaker 1: Democratic Party in my opinion. So you've now got kind
Speaker 1: of this from the entire Democratic Party, this primal screen
Speaker 1: going on because they see what's happening. They see it's
Speaker 1: all getting away from them nationally, because you know, it's
Speaker 1: like the spell's broken. And once Americans see, no, wait
Speaker 1: a second, we're not stuck with open borders the rest
Speaker 1: of our life. We're not stuck with people here illegally
Speaker 1: who are committing other crimes. We're not stuck with people
Speaker 1: with penises in my girls shower. We don't have to
Speaker 1: live that way. Americans aren't going back, and the Dems
Speaker 1: can see that, So now they're doing truly goofy stuff
Speaker 1: like probably the single most unconstitutional, obviously unconstitutional bill passed
Speaker 1: in modern times in Colorado is clearly going to get
Speaker 1: passed out of the Senate. Here's the latest from Seth
Speaker 1: Clemen at the Denver Post. Colorado ban on sale purchase
Speaker 1: of certain semi automatic rifles clear Senate committee in first vote.
Speaker 1: But wait a second, they've got rifles in the headline.
Speaker 1: But it says in a near midnight vote to Colorado
Speaker 1: Senate committee late Tuesday gave initial approval to a bill
Speaker 1: that would ban the sale or purchase of semi automatic
Speaker 1: firearms that accept detachable magazines. Well, wait a second, the
Speaker 1: headline said rifles. Now it says firearms. This includes and
Speaker 1: the same principle applies, by the way, but this includes
Speaker 1: like the most basic common use remember those words common
Speaker 1: use handguns around. I mean, if you're not a weapons person,
Speaker 1: ask the folks you know who have firearms, and probably
Speaker 1: most of are gonna tellia they probably have some version
Speaker 1: of a nine millimeter you know, with of course, a
Speaker 1: semi auto with a detachable clip. And if you don't
Speaker 1: know guns, detachable clip just means that you have this
Speaker 1: piece that comes out of the handle and that's where
Speaker 1: you put your bullets, and then you slide it into
Speaker 1: the handle, locks in place, then you fire your bullets,
Speaker 1: and then you take it out and you reload it.
Speaker 1: That's a detachable magazine. It is. It's about the most
Speaker 1: common use self defense tool imaginable. It's not a bazuoka,
Speaker 1: it's not a tank. It's what Grandma uses. And so
Speaker 1: for the Colorado Democrats to say, oh no, you can't
Speaker 1: have that anymore, because you know why, because criminals like
Speaker 1: to use detachable magazines they can reload. Well, guess what
Speaker 1: you know, lawbiding citizens like to use detachable magazine so
Speaker 1: if they have to reload to save their family, they
Speaker 1: can too. But it doesn't matter, Democrats, what you want,
Speaker 1: because there is a constitutional right to have these weapons.
Speaker 1: And what the US Supreme Court has clearly said is
Speaker 1: it comes down to are these common use type of firearms,
Speaker 1: And it's hard to find anything more common use than
Speaker 1: a nine millimeter with a detachable magazine. But the constitutional
Speaker 1: protection goes beyond that. So but just think about that,
Speaker 1: you live in a state, if you're listening in Colorado,
Speaker 1: you live in a state where the people who run
Speaker 1: your state are actually willing and trying to take away
Speaker 1: from you your most basic type of self defense tool.
Speaker 1: And what does that tell you about them? But you
Speaker 1: probably already knew that anyway. What makes it so interesting
Speaker 1: is that everybody behind this bill knows that if Polus
Speaker 1: actually signed it, and I don't think any of these
Speaker 1: Democrats expect him to sign it, but if he actually
Speaker 1: signed it, the courts would freeze it immediately. You could
Speaker 1: find the most well probably the most liberally inclined judge anywhere,
Speaker 1: and that judge is going to stop this bill. But
Speaker 1: they're doing it anyway. Why do you think they're doing it?
Speaker 1: It would be it would be like passing a bill
Speaker 1: that says nobody in the state is allowed to vote
Speaker 1: Republican and no Republican is allowed on any ballot anywhere.
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be any more unconstitutional than this thing, and
Speaker 1: both are preposterous eight zero five A two five five
Speaker 1: Text DN five seven seventh thirty nine. The question remains,
Speaker 1: my friend, in addition to kind of an obvious primal
Speaker 1: scream cry for attention, because the Democrats can see this
Speaker 1: nation slipping away from them, they'll have a few bastions
Speaker 1: for a little while, like Colorado, La maybe longer, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Is this a poke in the eye for Polis right
Speaker 1: because they know he's not going to sign it? So
Speaker 1: is the left trying to put him in the position
Speaker 1: of vetoing this bill just you know, probably inside baseball
Speaker 1: but a little fun to watch. It goes against the
Speaker 1: bigger question that I threw out there earlier. Is all
Speaker 1: this weirdness from Polish right now where he's pretending like
Speaker 1: he's Jared Holman. He's pretending like he's pro cracking down
Speaker 1: on the border when he is literally provably that the
Speaker 1: founding father of sanctuary state in Colorado? Is all this
Speaker 1: from Polish because he intends to push Hickenlooper out and
Speaker 1: be the Democrat Senate nominee in twenty six? Is that
Speaker 1: what's really going on here? I put it in the
Speaker 1: form of a question because that's what it is in
Speaker 1: my mind. Dan magazine, Did I say clip? I've got
Speaker 1: some texture who gets very mad at me every time
Speaker 1: I say clip instead of magazine texture. I must have
Speaker 1: because you appear very vexed, and I'm sorry if I
Speaker 1: put you in mental and physical Jeopardy here. Probably we've
Speaker 1: got this one texture just wants to do obscene stuff now, right?
Speaker 1: Does he think I'm stupid? And I'm just gonna read
Speaker 1: it on air? Dan. I heard the horrible music and thought,
Speaker 1: what the heck is this blank? On Dan's show? Then
Speaker 1: you said Hamilton, and it all made sense. Can you
Speaker 1: pull that back up, Ryan Doers? Because it's not torture.
Speaker 1: It's some of the greatest music I've ever made. And
Speaker 1: I understand there are a lot of people who don't
Speaker 1: like the musical Hamilton, et cetera, because the people who
Speaker 1: put it together a bunch of lefties. And all I
Speaker 1: can say is, you know, I respect that. I guess
Speaker 1: I've just never understood that. Like if I'm watching a movie,
Speaker 1: or I'm listening to this, or I'm listening to that,
Speaker 1: or i take our daughter to a Taylor Swift concert,
Speaker 1: or I'm watching a game.
Speaker 2: And as I'm in the midst of a plant.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, it was for what.
Speaker 3: But early?
Speaker 1: Okay, look her around, Look you're sound at how lucky
Speaker 1: we are to be alive right now?
Speaker 2: Look herround?
Speaker 1: Is how long have you known?
Speaker 3: A month or so?
Speaker 4: Eliza?
Speaker 3: You should have told me.
Speaker 2: I wrote to a month ago.
Speaker 1: I begged him to send you home.
Speaker 2: You should have told me.
Speaker 1: I'm not sorry.
Speaker 5: You knew you'd fight and tell the wars Well, don't
Speaker 5: you deserve a chance to media suddenly.
Speaker 2: Look her around and look around and how.
Speaker 6: Lucky we are.
Speaker 1: Don't you think that's right for angels? Sound like I
Speaker 1: mean to me, that's if it is.
Speaker 2: Then Kelly wants to go to the other place because
Speaker 2: she's really suffering right now.
Speaker 1: Head to me, that's just maybe the pure other than
Speaker 1: my wife's the prs for I have ever heard.
Speaker 2: We will count Kelly as a dissenting vote, agreeing with
Speaker 2: the toe.
Speaker 1: That's fascinating.
Speaker 2: I happen to agree with you. I love musicals, and
Speaker 2: this one in particular, I really enjoyed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bernie Sanders gave us an instant classic.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: Maybe Chuck Schumer beat him out, but in a creepy
Speaker 1: and old, creepy guy way. Here's Bernie.
Speaker 2: Well, you're supportive all these ones.
Speaker 1: I'm supportive of vaccines? Are you supportive of Bernie?
Speaker 2: The great visual?
Speaker 6: There Dan directly over RFK Junior's right shoulder with Cheryl
Speaker 6: Hines his wild yeah, and then right behind.
Speaker 2: Her was Megan Kelly, and when Bernie said that, are
Speaker 2: you supportive of all these onesies? She just busts and
Speaker 2: loses it and it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: And the ones he says something like not vexed and
Speaker 1: doing great or something like that. But Bernie Larry very vexed.
Speaker 1: So Bernie never gets upset right by like the mass
Speaker 1: killing of children before birth or anything, but the idea
Speaker 1: child may not be vaccinated and listen, I'm generally pro vaccine,
Speaker 1: but but Bernie gets that worked up about that. But hey,
Speaker 1: a million a year of those same kids who'd be
Speaker 1: wearing those ones these a few hours later and now
Speaker 1: kill them all. Bernie. Yeah, So it's just remarkable to
Speaker 1: me what gets him excited? Eight five five or is
Speaker 1: there a five eight two five five of them? We
Speaker 1: have a lot of fun sound of our FK Junior
Speaker 1: on the hill, but anxious to get your take on
Speaker 1: whether you think he should be confirmed. I'll give you mine.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 2: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 7: When I launched my campaign, it was about uniting Americans.
Speaker 7: Democrats are Republicans. There's no issue that she unite its
Speaker 7: more than this chronic health epidemic. There's no such thing
Speaker 7: as Republican children or Democratic children. These are our kids.
Speaker 7: Sixty six percent of them are damaged. I know what
Speaker 7: a healthy kid looks like because I had so many
Speaker 7: of them in my family. I didn't know anybody with
Speaker 7: a food allergy growing up, peanut allergy. Why do five
Speaker 7: of my kids have allergies? Why are we seeing these
Speaker 7: explosions and diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, neurological diseases, depression, all these
Speaker 7: things that are related to toxical the ag environment. Why
Speaker 7: can't we just agree with each other? You can put
Speaker 7: differences about so many issues, intractable issues, aside as a
Speaker 7: we're going to end this.
Speaker 1: Boy, here's so right about that?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's something very very wrong going on
Speaker 1: in America, and there's this level of these allergies and
Speaker 1: these other health issues that weren't there in any large
Speaker 1: numbers before. Clearly there's something environmental. What is it? So
Speaker 1: I just like the idea I think voters did too,
Speaker 1: of having somebody who's really going to focus on that. Hey,
Speaker 1: do I disagree with RF kid jor on plenty? You
Speaker 1: bet you? But this point I think is a vital
Speaker 1: one in America is hungry for that kind of focus.
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I have confidence, much more
Speaker 1: confidence in him to do this, to get after that
Speaker 1: issue goes to his next point.
Speaker 7: I don't think anybody is going to be able to
Speaker 7: do this like I have because of my peculiar experience,
Speaker 7: because I've litigated against these agencies. When you litigate against them,
Speaker 7: you get a PhD in corporate capture and how to
Speaker 7: unravel it.
Speaker 1: That is such a great point, you know, because I've
Speaker 1: spent forty years now litigating against corporations, to post CEOs,
Speaker 1: to post people down the chain, you know, get getting
Speaker 1: into all that stuff. And it's so true that it
Speaker 1: is a unique look. It is a unique look at
Speaker 1: how some bad actors operate. And so his exposure there
Speaker 1: it gives me comfort a couple of ways. First just
Speaker 1: knowing the nuts and bolts and the trails to follow,
Speaker 1: but beyond that, just that he won't be co opted,
Speaker 1: because at this point, I just think that that it's
Speaker 1: hard to find people who won't hear the siren in
Speaker 1: song and get kind of co opted by Hey, I
Speaker 1: don't want to make enemies of these big corporations. They
Speaker 1: might do some real good things for me down the road.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any danger that with him. We
Speaker 1: got to get to the bottom of what's making so
Speaker 1: many kids sick, and I have confidence in him to
Speaker 1: do that. Am I concerned about some other things? Sure?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for me, the foundational issue is
Speaker 1: I think it respectfully should be for everybody, just based
Speaker 1: on fundamental logic and basic medical facts, is life. And
Speaker 1: so the fact that he is pro abortioned to the
Speaker 1: point of late term abortion, which is just flat in fantaside, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all killing of innocent human life. That's
Speaker 1: just flat out nobody can debate that's in fantaside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's crazy, that's crazy, and it's an indefensible position that
Speaker 1: he holds. And so yeah, I've got my issues with
Speaker 1: him on those foundational issues. To me, what I've been
Speaker 1: going back and forth on in my mind and then
Speaker 1: I'll get to phone lines, is is you know, I
Speaker 1: could not vote for a presidential candidate who had that
Speaker 1: kind of position, But I have total confidence in President
Speaker 1: Trump on the life issues. Listen, I think President Trump
Speaker 1: may very well have been pro choice, pro abortion when
Speaker 1: when he started out for the Republican nomination, and maybe
Speaker 1: he still is. But the fact is he's the most
Speaker 1: pro life president by fire, we've ever had. He's been
Speaker 1: a pro life hero, he's fought courageously and effectively for
Speaker 1: the unborn, and his presidency is off to a tremendous
Speaker 1: pro life start. So I have such great confidence in
Speaker 1: President Trump when it comes to the pro life cause
Speaker 1: that it you know, it does not concern me that
Speaker 1: Kennedy would be able to do damage there with his
Speaker 1: pro abortion views. What he said in the hearing was that, hey,
Speaker 1: he's going to you know, he works at Trump's pleasure
Speaker 1: and he's going to follow Trump's policies and directives. And
Speaker 1: I I have complete confidence in Trump on that. He's
Speaker 1: He's just been the most pro life president we've seen.
Speaker 1: Lenn In Denver, you're on the Dan Kaplis Show. Welcome. Hi.
Speaker 3: I agree with your perspective on all of it, and
Speaker 3: in what everything you just said. My feeling is if
Speaker 3: not now, when, and if not RFK Junior, then who,
Speaker 3: Because more than any other time, we are having such
Speaker 3: a health epidemic in our country, and with the obesity,
Speaker 3: with so many people dependent on medications.
Speaker 5: Some are needed.
Speaker 3: I've said that before, but he is willing to go
Speaker 3: outside the box and address it. And I see nothing
Speaker 3: wrong with facing it head on and questioning all of
Speaker 3: it and then coming to some sort of conclusion about
Speaker 3: it being transparent and wondering if there's a better way.
Speaker 3: Who else is going to do this or have the
Speaker 3: guts to do it, and the coccurs of their convictions
Speaker 3: on this issue when it comes to health. I really
Speaker 3: liked what he had to say when he could speak
Speaker 3: when the Nazi Democrats weren't cutting them off and saying
Speaker 3: ridiculous things and yelling and being unhinged as usual in
Speaker 3: the hit some of these hearings. But I think that
Speaker 3: he is really going to tackle this, and who else
Speaker 3: is going to do it?
Speaker 1: Let's see, and what.
Speaker 3: Other time are we not going to just keep having
Speaker 3: the status quo. This is our one chance. So I
Speaker 3: am really backing him. I agree with you on the
Speaker 3: other issues that we disagree on that I disagree with
Speaker 3: him on, but that's not what he's focused on right now.
Speaker 3: So that's where I stand with it. I really like
Speaker 3: him and his stance.
Speaker 1: Well, Lynn, sure appreciate that, Thank you, and so beautifully said.
Speaker 1: What a great point Lynn makes, which is if not now,
Speaker 1: when right? Because think about this, stuff never gets talked
Speaker 1: about till this campaign, and Kennedy is the kind of
Speaker 1: guy I would trust to go after that. But every
Speaker 1: mom knows, every dad knows, everybody with kids knows. Or
Speaker 1: something really wrong in America. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: the fruit loops. I don't know what it is, but
Speaker 1: there's something really wrong in America. There's some there must be.
Speaker 1: It's environmental, right, there got to be some chemicals. There
Speaker 1: has to be something going on because it's not eat well.
Speaker 1: You don't suggest, but there are so many different type
Speaker 1: of ailments that were not there in large numbers before
Speaker 1: and now are just exploding.
Speaker 6: I'm a big fan of RFK Junior for the same
Speaker 6: reasons Lynn points out. And Donald Trump is such a
Speaker 6: terrible tyrant because he's building this team of rivals. Dan
Speaker 6: jd Vance, who once had very disparaging words to say
Speaker 6: about him, makes him his running mate RFK Junior. He
Speaker 6: tabs to head AJHS was a rival of his in
Speaker 6: this past election. Telsey Gabbard, former Democrat going to be
Speaker 6: Director of National Intelligence.
Speaker 2: We hope he's really bad at this tyrannical thing. Awful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, that's right. And the Gabbard I
Speaker 1: was just thinking, added to the Gabbard confirmation that's going
Speaker 1: to be fascinating indeed. And kosh Ptel another one, yeah, former,
Speaker 1: Hi Cory. I mean, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
Speaker 1: By the way, you see the latest from President Trump here,
Speaker 1: Trump moves to prepare Guatanamo Bay for thirty thousand criminal
Speaker 1: illegal aliens, and then Trump's line on that it's a
Speaker 1: tough place to get out of. It's just wow. And
Speaker 1: you can see the Democrats scrambling now eight five five
Speaker 1: for zero five A two five five the number text
Speaker 1: d an five seven seven thirty nine. Hey, Texter disagrees
Speaker 1: with my interpretation of this obviously unconstitutional gun bill being
Speaker 1: put up by the Dems. So I'll get to that
Speaker 1: text and we come back here on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Dan Caplis Show podcast. Not here
Speaker 2: because I want a position or a job.
Speaker 1: I have a very good life and happy family. This
Speaker 1: is something I don't need. I want to do this
Speaker 1: because we're going to fix it.
Speaker 7: And the other thing is we are attracting now a
Speaker 7: caliber of people to HHS like never before in history.
Speaker 7: And they're entrepreneurs, they're they're disruptors, they're innovators of the
Speaker 7: men's talents that are walking away, many of them from
Speaker 7: growing concerns. They're not coming there or position. They're coming
Speaker 7: there because they want to save our country. And they're
Speaker 7: from across the political spectrum.
Speaker 1: Well, I love that point, Okay, I love that point
Speaker 1: about he doesn't need this job, and I love the
Speaker 1: point about other people who are being attracted into the
Speaker 1: Trump administration. I think it helped Trump during the campaign.
Speaker 1: I think Elon Musk helped him in Pennsylvania. Again, the
Speaker 1: spells broken. Americans are seeing that certain crazy, self destructive
Speaker 1: patterns are something that makes no sense that we don't
Speaker 1: have to live with. Whether it's open borders, and then
Speaker 1: folks are illegally who commit other crimes. Suddenly John Hickenlooper
Speaker 1: and Jared Poulis and Mike Johnston want to put them
Speaker 1: on a pedestal and protect the criminals. And you know, no,
Speaker 1: this idea of outsiders coming in the old model, the
Speaker 1: old brand of just these professional politicians and then they're
Speaker 1: professional politician appointees know, so I love what he's saying there.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with RFK Junior on everything, that's for
Speaker 1: darn share, but I I love what he's saying there.
Speaker 1: Oh you got the Michael Bennett sound?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 1: The bellowing elks stuff? Have you heard it?
Speaker 2: Get a little worked up? Like when Okay, I'm Ted
Speaker 2: Cruz red cat in the hat. Yeah, just a little,
Speaker 2: you know, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, truly one of Ansler Mackie great choice in life.
Speaker 1: We have this cabin up the mountains in the right
Speaker 1: time of the year, You'll just get these herds of
Speaker 1: elk and then they start bellowing, and I'll say to
Speaker 1: my wife, does that sound like Michael Bennett? It matters.
Speaker 8: It doesn't matter what you come here and say. That
Speaker 8: isn't true, that's not reflective of what you really believe
Speaker 8: that you haven't said over a decade after decade and
Speaker 8: after decade, because unlike other jobs, we're confirming around this place.
Speaker 8: This is a job where it is life and death.
Speaker 8: For the kids that I used doors when the Denver
Speaker 8: public slo and for families all over this country that
Speaker 8: are suffering from living in the richest country of the
Speaker 8: world that can't deliver basic health care and basic mental
Speaker 8: health here to them. It's fine an administrator for the
Speaker 8: games that you're playing, mister Kennedy. And I hope my
Speaker 8: colleagues will say to the President, I have no influence
Speaker 8: over him. I hope my colleagues will say to the President,
Speaker 8: out of three hundred and thirty million Americans, we can
Speaker 8: do better than this.
Speaker 1: Well, that's why we need to move on. So Michael Bennett,
Speaker 1: who is is yeah, kill him to the moment of delivery.
Speaker 1: I mean that child, right, it's a baby, it's about
Speaker 1: to be born. There's no doubt about it. Michael Bennett
Speaker 1: said not you should be able to kill him for
Speaker 1: any reason or no reason whatsoever. He's now concerned about
Speaker 1: child health. Well, if he's so concerned about child health,
Speaker 1: why wasn't he piping up during the Biden administration about
Speaker 1: their horrific failures Because everything he just talked about, and
Speaker 1: there is a there's a major child health problem in
Speaker 1: America that's been going on through all of Biden. Never
Speaker 1: heard a word from Michael Bennett on that. So you
Speaker 1: think he'll be confirmed. You think Kennedy will be confirmed.
Speaker 6: He will be And there's been a warning shot fired
Speaker 6: across the bow by Nicole Shanahan, his former running mate,
Speaker 6: who identifies now I think as an independent, but a
Speaker 6: Republican and not a Democrat. And she is threatening, and
Speaker 6: she's very well funded, she's very wealthy herself. She is
Speaker 6: threatening to primary any Republican that doesn't support RFK Junior,
Speaker 6: and that could prove very costly for any sitting Republican
Speaker 6: who chooses to go against Trump on This is what
Speaker 6: I don't understand Dan, in the particular examples of Lisa
Speaker 6: Murkowski especially, but Susan Collins and Mitch McConnell and whoever else,
Speaker 6: they're so ready to vote against a Trump nominee in
Speaker 6: their own party, but they greenlighted and rubber stamp Lloyd
Speaker 6: Austin Peete. But Jennifer Granholm. It's ridiculous, no, and very revealing.
Speaker 1: Right, But listen, I think it's a virtual certainty he
Speaker 1: will have that job. I think the question is whether
Speaker 1: it's going to be just a straight up confirmation voter
Speaker 1: recess appointment. But I think it is virtually certain he
Speaker 1: is going to be in that job. Eight five for
Speaker 1: five A two five to five, the number tex DA
Speaker 1: and five seven seventeen nine will come straight back to
Speaker 1: our phone lines detectors in fuego. And then we got
Speaker 1: to play some fascinating sound including another sexual reference today
Speaker 1: from Chuck Schumer. What's going on there? You're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast Aroused.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen people so aroused in a very very
Speaker 2: long time.
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer today, And this is a great lead into
Speaker 1: I think a very fair question, given all of this,
Speaker 1: this true beyond imagination wackiness we're seeing from the left
Speaker 1: each and every day, do you think you have a
Speaker 1: lot of leftist office holders and leaders who are now
Speaker 1: utilizing marijuana, either smoking it, doing whatever they do with it,
Speaker 1: eating it. I mean, how many of the elected officials
Speaker 1: on the left do you think are actively consuming dope?
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair question. And since it's now
Speaker 1: quote legal in so many places where the left rules right,
Speaker 1: because it's by design, they know a drug population is
Speaker 1: going to be more dependent on government and they'refore more
Speaker 1: likely to vote for Democrats. Yeah, so do you think
Speaker 1: that's a fair question? Now, Ryan, with the increasing levels
Speaker 1: of really bizarre, oh weirdness like Mike Johnston coming out
Speaker 1: and say.
Speaker 5: Oh, I said, dever, please out to the border, take
Speaker 5: on the fens. Fifty thousand people in the streets. They're invaders,
Speaker 5: Federal LA enforcement, they're invade. I mean, aren't these fair questions?
Speaker 1: Listen to? And I have no idea, by the way,
Speaker 1: I have no earthly idea whether any of these people,
Speaker 1: including mayor Johnston, have ever consumed I just think it's
Speaker 1: reached the point where it is a fair question, particularly
Speaker 1: in those areas where it's legal.
Speaker 6: So is he coming down from it since he's been
Speaker 6: backpedaling ever since on the Tienamen Square comments.
Speaker 1: Listen, never having consumed marijuana. And I don't judge anybody
Speaker 1: who does. I don't judge any adults who use marijuana.
Speaker 1: Give me a break. To me, that's not a moral
Speaker 1: issue or anything else. What a moral issue is is
Speaker 1: when you say that, Okay, you're going to legalize it now,
Speaker 1: and you're going to have it run like McDonald's and Starbucks.
Speaker 1: And I think we want more dope stores than those now,
Speaker 1: because you know what it's going to do. There's no
Speaker 1: way you can legalize it that way without harming a
Speaker 1: lot of kids, a lot a lot of kids. You
Speaker 1: can't green light it that way, make it that available
Speaker 1: without a lot more kids on dope. That's where the
Speaker 1: moral issue comes in an individual adult who wants to dope.
Speaker 1: I don't think any less of them for that. I
Speaker 1: just think it's a fair question about you know, so
Speaker 1: called leaders when you see them doing all sorts of weird,
Speaker 1: erratic things.
Speaker 7: And this.
Speaker 1: Here's the Mike Johnston quote today. He was given some
Speaker 1: kind of speech somewhere today is about our belief and
Speaker 1: commitment in those moments where you feel the most chaos
Speaker 1: is where the deepest connection to your visions and your
Speaker 1: mission matters most. I mean, can't you just hear cheat
Speaker 1: your chong in the background on that one. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: he did announce that the Sixteenth Street Mall would fully
Speaker 1: reopen this summer after years of construction. Perfect timing. He
Speaker 1: can go see the great migration of the Stoners up
Speaker 1: and down the mall. Right, people come all over from
Speaker 1: all over the world to see that. Kevin in Colorado
Speaker 1: springs here on the dan Kaplas show welcome. Speaking of
Speaker 1: what tryan please remind me after Kevin to get to
Speaker 1: this recent Denver Post story on the mall ripper. The
Speaker 1: mall mass killer. Yeah, fascinating with the post left of
Speaker 1: the story. Good Kevin, how you doing, man.
Speaker 4: I'm going doing good.
Speaker 2: I got a question.
Speaker 4: But before I tell you this, I a little background
Speaker 4: of my employment. I was in thirteen years in the Army.
Speaker 4: I was a fool service And so my question is,
Speaker 4: and I'd been wandering this all my entire career, and
Speaker 4: I just want to know if if well, I know
Speaker 4: you don't have the crystal ball, but my question is,
Speaker 4: if Osky is confirmed, do you think he's going to
Speaker 4: straw up that DA and you know, start banning these
Speaker 4: chemicals and dies and stuff that don't need to be
Speaker 4: in the food like they do in Europe.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I don't get it.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of people out there with
Speaker 4: intestine issue, plus crumbed not.
Speaker 3: One of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's just I know it's the difference when
Speaker 4: I travel both.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, my tummy feels better.
Speaker 1: Many people many people say that so true. And I've
Speaker 1: got to tell you, Kevin, great question. Thank you for
Speaker 1: your service. By the way, I think it's that the
Speaker 1: key to RFK, and the key to a lot of
Speaker 1: what President Trump is doing so well is the start
Speaker 1: of a process and some of this. Now Trump is
Speaker 1: already achieving some great things that can be achieved quickly,
Speaker 1: but the start of some of these things. Realistically, you
Speaker 1: can't get to total victory in four years. But the
Speaker 1: start of the process, to meet Kevin is so critical
Speaker 1: because I think right now odds on favorite that that
Speaker 1: a Republican is elected president again in twenty eight whether
Speaker 1: it's JD. Vance or somebody else. So it's so key
Speaker 1: to just make this a priority now, zero in on it.
Speaker 1: The American people want it attacked. Start the process now,
Speaker 1: and however long it takes, it takes, but do it
Speaker 1: as fast as he can.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I don't I don't get it. I mean,
Speaker 4: we could have been doing it some time ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, great point, Kevin, and it's so true. But
Speaker 1: again I think it's you can see these blind spots, right,
Speaker 1: and then you can see this kind of phenomena where
Speaker 1: where at a certain point, you know, people, because there's
Speaker 1: so much distrust of government, feel that they're just stuck
Speaker 1: with it forever. But then there's this light the shines
Speaker 1: and this beacon of hope, and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: Trump wins and he starts actually making things better very quickly.
Speaker 1: And then RFK Junior starts talking about things that every
Speaker 1: mom and dad has been talking about and knows it's true,
Speaker 1: but just feels kind of powerless to attack on a
Speaker 1: grand scale. But now there's this hope it may really happen.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think our FK Junior is really going
Speaker 1: to get after it, and Trump's going to support them.
Speaker 1: And then the key is you've got to have another Republican,
Speaker 1: not just another Republican win in twenty eight, but one
Speaker 1: who has the same agenda, right, one who is so
Speaker 1: equally committed to this. That's the key. But you gotta start,
Speaker 1: you gotta start. Let me get to some of these
Speaker 1: texts as well. Our texters have been very vexed today,
Speaker 1: which we love to see, and you can text as
Speaker 1: DN five seven seven three nine, so on cue the
Speaker 1: text went down. I know that I know that Kelly's
Speaker 1: kind of the text whisperer, right, maybe she can convince
Speaker 1: it to rejoin us for the end of the show.
Speaker 1: I did want to mention though, this Denver Post story,
Speaker 1: because since when did dope and again, marijuana has always
Speaker 1: been harmful, but you can't even call this stuff marijuana anymore. Right,
Speaker 1: it's Krakawana because obviously the dealers, with the support of
Speaker 1: their political allies, they want to hook them young and
Speaker 1: hook them forever. So they crank up the potency so high.
Speaker 1: The old chiech and chong stuff that did so much damage,
Speaker 1: maybe two to four percent thhc. The stuff they're filling
Speaker 1: these kids with now eighty ninety percent often and so
Speaker 1: so here. But how did dope become the holy protected gral?
Speaker 1: And here's the latest example. We have this mass killer
Speaker 1: on the mall and the Denver Post does a big
Speaker 1: profile on him, very heavily researched, et cetera. And it's
Speaker 1: just talking about his life and everything that went wrong.
Speaker 1: You know what word did not appear anywhere in that story,
Speaker 1: The word marijuana, even though this kid's life was saturated
Speaker 1: with it from an early age. You had these arrests
Speaker 1: pertaining to it, you had on his website at the
Speaker 1: time he committed the mass killing him glorifying marijuana. So
Speaker 1: why did the post leave that out of his profile? Right?
Speaker 1: Why why is it so protected? Now? The holy grail
Speaker 1: is marijuana and it's obviously doing so much harm. And
Speaker 1: I think the answer is pretty obvious, right, I mean
Speaker 1: to the left and most of the media is part
Speaker 1: of promoting the left's agenda. Legalized drugs are key because
Speaker 1: the more dependent of population, the more likely they are
Speaker 1: to vote left, and the more drug depopulation, the more
Speaker 1: likely they are to be dependent. So I think it's
Speaker 1: just core part of the lefty playbook. Then there's the
Speaker 1: revenue stream, right, because you've got a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: media hoping that they're going to be able to make
Speaker 1: millions off of advertising marijuana as it gets quote more accepted.
Speaker 1: But what about public safety? And then you get to
Speaker 1: the obvious connection to school shootings. Doesn't mean every school
Speaker 1: shooter is a stoner, but most of them are and
Speaker 1: big users. But yet that issue just gets down played also,
Speaker 1: So it just shows you in the end, right, it
Speaker 1: just shows you in the end, how concerned is the
Speaker 1: left really about children, about kids, about teenagers, about adults,
Speaker 1: because so many adults get killed injured on the roadway, etc.
Speaker 1: In marijuana affected crashes. Yeah, not really at all. And
Speaker 1: so much of that comes back to and I'll put
Speaker 1: a bow on this, so much of that just comes
Speaker 1: back to the worldview of the left and not your
Speaker 1: typical Democrat, but the left runs the party and the
Speaker 1: worldview of the left which just doesn't value it, literally
Speaker 1: just doesn't value innocent individual human life. It just doesn't
Speaker 1: assign any dignity or importance to it. So there's an
Speaker 1: acceptable casualty rate of children and their lives, teenagers, adults.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the Left, there is an acceptable
Speaker 1: casualty rate, and that number to them is very very high,
Speaker 1: because again, they just don't value innocent human life. Dan
Speaker 1: says a textter. The bill Britney Peterson is backing for
Speaker 1: new parents should not be passed. What did I say?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Did I say Peterson? My apologies an unusual name. Peterson. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. I should not be passed. There
Speaker 1: is no worries of her missing votes during her maternity leave.
Speaker 1: She has been my representative, etcetera, etcetera. Listen, I don't
Speaker 1: think that bill should be passed either, even though I'm
Speaker 1: very sympathetic to the idea that that moms giving birth,
Speaker 1: et cetera, there should be some leeway for that. The
Speaker 1: problem is because there's nothing more important on the face
Speaker 1: of the earth. The problem is there's no way to
Speaker 1: carve out that exception, and this bill, even the Democrats bill,
Speaker 1: would say the same for dads when when the mom's
Speaker 1: delivering a baby. But you can't carve out that exception
Speaker 1: without opening the door to essentially what's going to be
Speaker 1: a remote congress. I think that's what Democrats want. I
Speaker 1: think that'd be horrible for the country. Dan, do you
Speaker 1: have the Michael Bennett bab bah bah sound?
Speaker 2: I need to dig that up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: What do they mean by that? Is that the cruise sound?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like that, and that he kind of gets
Speaker 2: in these ruts verbally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, Well okay, now listen, we're not
Speaker 1: going to pull sound. Any of us at any time
Speaker 1: can have a stutter or at this or a band.
Speaker 1: This is kind of a habit and a pattern for him.
Speaker 2: He gets more of a cheap and then he loses
Speaker 2: his enunciation and he starts talking like this.
Speaker 1: Well, there's so much stuff from him that we can
Speaker 1: just tear apart on substance, right, you play anything you
Speaker 1: want to. I just work here. But yeah, it's pretty fun. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you think it's funny, I think then we need
Speaker 1: to hear it. We need to hear it. Wow. End
Speaker 1: of another show, my friend reflections. So much going on
Speaker 1: in the world. If you just joined us, It's been
Speaker 1: another amazing day. You know, talk about Trump and Roll
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg's while his company, he's writing Trump a twenty five
Speaker 1: million dollar check to settle a Trump lawsuit from when
Speaker 1: he was the platform. So great to see, right, just
Speaker 1: just part of this story of fight and courage and
Speaker 1: overcoming when these lefties who abused him so horribly now
Speaker 1: have to write him these big checks. So on a roll, Ryan,
Speaker 1: thanks to your great work. Kelly are the best. Join
Speaker 1: us tomorrow please on The Dan Kapla Show.
