Speaker 1: This is Dan Kaplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Kaplis 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. This is not
Speaker 1: the American way to have President Zelenski here campaigning for Harris.
Speaker 1: That is not the American way and using our tax
Speaker 1: dollars to do it as well, and listen on the show.
Speaker 1: And I take a lot of heat for it. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been very supportive of Ukraine, the great people of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Putin is Satan himself. He's raping and pillaging that nation.
Speaker 1: He must not be allowed to succeed. But no US
Speaker 1: boots on the ground, at US financial commitment, but with
Speaker 1: some limitations, and there has to be a strategy to win.
Speaker 1: But my goodness, Zelensky is really straining that he's going
Speaker 1: to come into this country and campaign for Harris against
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And what an incredibly stupid thing to do
Speaker 1: on his part. Right, He's done some things really well
Speaker 1: and maybe some things not so well, but this is
Speaker 1: incredibly stupid because he is gambling this all on Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: He's gambling Ukraine, Ukraine's future on Kamala Harris. Wow eight
Speaker 1: five five for zero five A two five five the number.
Speaker 1: I want to see Putin defeated. And I want to
Speaker 1: see that literal demon. I want to see that literal
Speaker 1: demon Putin fail. But Selensky is not helping his cause
Speaker 1: by coming here to campaign for Harris. Glad you're here.
Speaker 1: Lots going on this afternoon. Let's go back to the
Speaker 1: phone line switch. You are n Fago, Linda and Nederland,
Speaker 1: you're on the dan Kaplis. She'll welcome.
Speaker 2: Hi, Dan. I have a couple of questions. Legally, well,
Speaker 2: I guess you could say it's legal if the mother
Speaker 2: is in danger. I'll dine, I understand that, But right,
Speaker 2: incest cant aren't there things they can do right away?
Speaker 2: If someone is raped?
Speaker 1: There are things they can try to do. And Linda,
Speaker 1: I understand. I understand that the left always takes out
Speaker 1: the most difficult scenario right, And the way I always
Speaker 1: respond to people on the left is Okay, let's say
Speaker 1: we agree that that a woman's allowed to have an abortion,
Speaker 1: you know, if she's raped. Would you agree that all
Speaker 1: other abortions at that point should not be permitted, and
Speaker 1: then it's always interesting to see their response there. But
Speaker 1: listen what you come back to, and it's what makes
Speaker 1: it so tough, right, Linda, is that the undeniable medical
Speaker 1: reality is that that is a human life that's being killed,
Speaker 1: no matter how that life was conceived.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not sure I agree with that, but I
Speaker 2: also don't I know there are many preventative options for
Speaker 2: a woman getting pregnant. Why aren't people using them?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I have to say that one of our friends
Speaker 2: adopted four beautiful children because the first child was born
Speaker 2: basically a vegetable. And I don't understand why women couldn't
Speaker 2: put their children up for adoption rather than chill them.
Speaker 1: Linda, very very very much appreciate the call, Linda and
Speaker 1: your heartfelt sentiments. This particular show today is devoted to
Speaker 1: kind of these political developments out there, rather than the
Speaker 1: depth discussion of abortion, which we've had many times before
Speaker 1: and well again, in fact, we're going to do many
Speaker 1: many shows. This absolutely cruel and insane Colorado constitutional amendment.
Speaker 1: It's it's Bellot Initiative seventy nine, which seeks to make
Speaker 1: part of the Colorado Constitution the legal quote right to
Speaker 1: kill a child up to the moment of birth. And
Speaker 1: by the way, say goodbye to parental notification for abortion
Speaker 1: for minors, say hello to taxpayer funding of abortion. It
Speaker 1: is way beyond extreme and it's on the ballot. We're
Speaker 1: going to have many, many shows on that. Eight f
Speaker 1: five for zero five eight two five to five the number.
Speaker 1: To bring you up to speed, we have we have
Speaker 1: some instant classics from Kamala today, and we have a
Speaker 1: bunch of panic going on on the left right now,
Speaker 1: right because they can see that she's tracking to defeat.
Speaker 1: So now they're starting to lurch around and do some
Speaker 1: absolutely wild things, desperate things. Kamala coming out today and
Speaker 1: saying that she wants to do away with the filibuster
Speaker 1: in the US Senate for abortion. Now, once you do
Speaker 1: away with the filibuster, it's gone for everything. Right, But
Speaker 1: what that would mean is that if let's say Democratic
Speaker 1: Party had both the House and Senate in the White House,
Speaker 1: that they could codify abortion a pose, impose abortion on
Speaker 1: demand for all fifty states up to the moment of birth.
Speaker 1: The individual states don't get to decide. They could do
Speaker 1: that with a single vote majority in the Senate and
Speaker 1: currently with filibuster, it takes sixty to pass anything major.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? Can you imagine what that would
Speaker 1: do to America? How that would destabilize America from election
Speaker 1: to election? Okay, this cycle?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: The Dems have it, and all of a sudden, now
Speaker 1: and abortion is legal up to the moment of birth
Speaker 1: forced in all fifty states. Two years from now, that
Speaker 1: reverses the exact opposite happens, because now the Republicans have it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it would really plunge this nation into deep chaos.
Speaker 1: And if she really believed this is good policy, she
Speaker 1: would have said it a long time ago. Right, But
Speaker 1: they're panicking now, they're panicking as they head toward defeat,
Speaker 1: and you're seeing this crazy stuff happen. Ryan, I think
Speaker 1: another reason they're panicking is, and I've been talking about
Speaker 1: it now for several days. You've got this debate coming
Speaker 1: up between and it's just a few days away, right
Speaker 1: between Vance and Walls, and you can see Wall's favorability sinking.
Speaker 1: But even before that, anybody who's paying attention can see
Speaker 1: that Walls is an extreme radical with some other issues. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he's lied about important things in the past. But jad
Speaker 1: Vance is very well informed, he's brilliant, he's a tremendous debater,
Speaker 1: he's a seasoned debater, and he is going to dismember
Speaker 1: Walls in this debate. And he's going to do the
Speaker 1: thing some of the things President Trump didn't do in
Speaker 1: his debate in terms of pinning Walls down on Harris
Speaker 1: and her policies and oh, but she has favored this,
Speaker 1: and she has favored that, and Walls will be on
Speaker 1: the defensive. Try to explain, no, no, she's changed, But
Speaker 1: well when did she change? Why did she change? How
Speaker 1: can we believe she's changed? I mean, Vance will be
Speaker 1: able to do all of that and Walls, he's not
Speaker 1: going to receive the same level of protection that she received,
Speaker 1: and he is really going to struggle. So I think
Speaker 1: that's when reason Harris is out there begging for another
Speaker 1: debate right now. They know they know that kind of
Speaker 1: the last word in terms of a debate for him,
Speaker 1: and people are going to hear is Vance, you know,
Speaker 1: just trouncing Walls, and that's not a good look for
Speaker 1: the Harris campaign.
Speaker 4: Last word and last inflection point really of this campaign,
Speaker 4: other than rallying your base and try to turn that
Speaker 4: out for jd vance the word I would use and
Speaker 4: what you're describing there, Dan that Tim Walls is absolutely
Speaker 4: not equipped to do because he doesn't even know Kamala
Speaker 4: Harris that well. Surgical, well he will be surgical jd
Speaker 4: vance and just breaking down all these conflicting positions that
Speaker 4: Kamala is trying to straddle the line on.
Speaker 1: And we all know what Walls is going to say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I grew up in a middle class family, right, that's
Speaker 1: going to be the answer to everything. But watch him
Speaker 1: try to evade, which he will do, and it will
Speaker 1: just infuriate the American people. It's why I said after
Speaker 1: that last debate, hair is lost because of wyn means
Speaker 1: doing what you have to do. When the presidency she
Speaker 1: lost because she did not explain to the American people
Speaker 1: how she'll be different than Biden or why she's changed
Speaker 1: her positions. And now she's depending on Waltz to do
Speaker 1: it for good luck with that. And how about this?
Speaker 1: You tell me this, what percentage of the women in
Speaker 1: America who are planning to vote for Kamala Harris right
Speaker 1: now want prostitution to be legalized. Here's Kamala Harris twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5: Do you think that sex work ought to be decriminalized?
Speaker 5: I think so, I do. Wow.
Speaker 1: I would love to hear from women on this as well.
Speaker 1: What percentage would want prostitution to be legal? You talk
Speaker 1: about destabilizing American families, You talk about just moral rot
Speaker 1: and undermining tradition values, which of course is the mission
Speaker 1: of the left.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: The left cannot succeed unless they separate people from their faith.
Speaker 1: Unless they undermine the traditional American family, the left cannot succeed.
Speaker 4: And the big part about that, which is a slippery
Speaker 4: slope even if you're libertarian. So oh, grown women should
Speaker 4: be able to do what they want, but it lends
Speaker 4: itself to child trafficking for those purposes, for underage girls
Speaker 4: to be served up with legalized prostitution, it opens Pandora's
Speaker 4: box for that.
Speaker 1: Now, that is a great point. In fact, we'll be
Speaker 1: talking with me or Mike Coffany's going to join us
Speaker 1: at five thirty six about the latest in Aurora. We
Speaker 1: played earlier a big story NBC out of Montana talking
Speaker 1: about how this same TDA gang that has caused such
Speaker 1: havoc and Aurora, you know, is now sex trafficking American
Speaker 1: women into prostitution in different states around the country, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And you know they didn't list Colorado, but the Gazette
Speaker 1: has done some great work on that. And from what
Speaker 1: we've seen of this TDA gang in Colorado, is there
Speaker 1: any rea into doubt they're doing here what they're doing
Speaker 1: in these other states as well. All thanks to Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, the Open Border, and everybody poll us all
Speaker 1: the rest of these Dems to just say yeah, wide
Speaker 1: open border, right, shows how much they care about women.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kaplas.
Speaker 3: Show, and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7: To the auto workers in Michigan, Georgia and all other
Speaker 7: parts of our country, I am pinpointing you for greatness.
Speaker 7: Your industry has been decimated by many decades of incompetent leadership,
Speaker 7: both political and at your company level. You had presidents
Speaker 7: of your company that sold out our country. They didn't
Speaker 7: know what they were doing, they were horrible, and you
Speaker 7: had politicians that were grossly incompetent to let that happen.
Speaker 7: Your auto industry has been decimated. And again with the
Speaker 7: electric car, it's all going to be made in China.
Speaker 7: The head of the United Auto Workers ought to be
Speaker 7: ashamed of himself for what he's done.
Speaker 5: But we're going to turn it around, and we're going
Speaker 5: to turn it around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and no secret, right. I mean, Trump is going
Speaker 1: to win. There are a lot of reasons he's going
Speaker 1: to win, but one big reason he's going to win
Speaker 1: is he is the candidate of the working people of America.
Speaker 1: And that is what the GOP needs to be and
Speaker 1: consistently be, both to win and to matter. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's because obviously, the working people of America have been
Speaker 1: screwed in so many different ways by the Democrats, and
Speaker 1: for the sake of them and their children and the
Speaker 1: future and this country, we've got to make sure that
Speaker 1: working people are treated fairly. And why would anybody for
Speaker 1: a second think the Democratic Party would be the party
Speaker 1: to do that. What a major shift that has been
Speaker 1: right in America because for so many years the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party was regarded as the party of the working person,
Speaker 1: and now, I mean it just looks down its nose
Speaker 1: at working people. Clearly, the leadership most elected officials do
Speaker 1: eight five five four zero five eight two five to
Speaker 1: five the number. Mayor Mike Kaufman will join US soon
Speaker 1: five thirty six. We'll talk about whether if President Trump
Speaker 1: comes to Aurora. We'll get the latest word on that
Speaker 1: from the mayor. But if the President is coming, whether
Speaker 1: a mayor Kaufman is going to appear with him. The
Speaker 1: merit suggested before that he would not be appearing at
Speaker 1: any public type rally, and I disagree with him on that.
Speaker 1: Look forward to that conversation. The latest on the TDA
Speaker 1: gang in Aurora, we'll get that from the mayor. Also,
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phone lines.
Speaker 6: Go down to.
Speaker 1: Beautiful Problo, Colorado where we're carried on the Great KCSJ. Brian,
Speaker 1: you're on the Dan Kaplas Show. Welcome.
Speaker 6: Oh Dan, it's good to speak with you again. Thank you.
Speaker 6: You've actually helped helped me in the past with some
Speaker 6: legal stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, thank you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good to talk again.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Hey, over the years, I've definitely never voted a color
Speaker 6: that's always been one or the other. And then but
Speaker 6: recently I heard an argument. I don't know if you're
Speaker 6: still wanting to talk about the abortion topic or not.
Speaker 6: I heard you kind of with the last caller say
Speaker 6: that that was something that you're kind of avoiding a
Speaker 6: little bit.
Speaker 1: Oh oh no, no, when we're tying it into this
Speaker 1: election an election cycle and related issues, you bet. I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody's talked about it more on air over the last
Speaker 1: twenty years than I have, and to me, it's still
Speaker 1: the foundational issue.
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, I had something over the years that has
Speaker 6: been kind of it affected me with kind of like
Speaker 6: where I stand on the abortion topic, and I was
Speaker 6: really just wanting to call and get your perspective on
Speaker 6: it as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it, my friend?
Speaker 6: So one of the things that i'd heard was you
Speaker 6: have like if if there's a child that's, say, in
Speaker 6: the hospital with some sort of terminal disease, you can't
Speaker 6: force some to donate like bone, marrow or anything else
Speaker 6: to save that child life. Now, morally I'm against against abortion,
Speaker 6: but then I also struggle with the morally of what
Speaker 6: you can force a person to do. So I'm wondering
Speaker 6: where is that line, Like, if you can't force one
Speaker 6: to save a child, then who says you can force
Speaker 6: someone to save a child? Do pregnancy? Right? Makes sense?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Thank you for that, I mean, and I don't know
Speaker 1: that this addresses that exactly. And tell me if it doesn't,
Speaker 1: but that the critical distinction so often and so many
Speaker 1: of these different examples is that when we're talking about abortion,
Speaker 1: we're talking about somebody else's body. Obviously, what makes this
Speaker 1: issue so very difficult for everybody is that we have
Speaker 1: this separate human located within another human. But they're both
Speaker 1: human and and you know they they both have to
Speaker 1: be respected as full of human and they both have
Speaker 1: to be respected for the importance of their bodies. But
Speaker 1: in the end, if you allow legalized abortion, one of
Speaker 1: those two humans, only one of those two humans is
Speaker 1: going to die, and that's going to be the child.
Speaker 1: So to me, that's always been such a key distinction
Speaker 1: when we try to compare abortion to other medical procedures.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that addresses your question, but I think
Speaker 1: it's at least a starting point.
Speaker 6: Does Yeah, it does. I'm just I sit there and
Speaker 6: I struggle with well, like, legally, you can't force a woman,
Speaker 6: or a parent, or even someone else for that matter,
Speaker 6: I guess to relate it to abortion, we'll say you
Speaker 6: can't force a mom to go through an operation to
Speaker 6: save her child life. That she might be the perfect donor,
Speaker 6: she might be able to save this child's life, but
Speaker 6: you can't force her to go through an operation to
Speaker 6: do it. So then during pregnancy, why should why should
Speaker 6: that same not apply.
Speaker 1: Because you're looking to the intent of the procedure, right,
Speaker 1: and so when the intent of an abortion is to
Speaker 1: end a human life, when that's your starting point intent,
Speaker 1: that moves you into a completely different category on every level.
Speaker 6: That makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, one you're
Speaker 6: withholding a procedure and the other you're intentionally going from
Speaker 6: perform the procedure.
Speaker 1: Well, and and your your intent and performing the procedure
Speaker 1: is to kill a human life. Yes, and uh yeah, Brian, Hey,
Speaker 1: very much appreciate the call, and I'm sorry the way
Speaker 1: talk radio is in our clock is we're going to
Speaker 1: have to dake a break here, but thank you for
Speaker 1: the call and for your kind words. Eight five to
Speaker 1: five for zero five A two five five. The reason
Speaker 1: we're talking about abortion is obviously major issue in the campaign,
Speaker 1: Camalaios trying to hang her hat on it. But the
Speaker 1: big development today is that Harris is now proposing doing
Speaker 1: away with the filibuster in the Senate in order to
Speaker 1: force Roe V weight on all fifty states and take
Speaker 1: the abortion policy making away from the states. And so
Speaker 1: that is such a bizarrely radical position that would destabilize
Speaker 1: this nation. To now have the US Senate, you know,
Speaker 1: having such major legislation passed if one party has a
Speaker 1: simple majority by a single vote in the Senate. I mean,
Speaker 1: what could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: You could see how the country would be thrown into
Speaker 1: total chaos. Every two years or so, all right, abortion
Speaker 1: now legal, all fifty states states were taking it away,
Speaker 1: and two years from now, okay, abortion now illegal.
Speaker 3: States.
Speaker 1: You get to decide for yourself. And then of course,
Speaker 1: if the filibuster is eliminated for abortion, it's going to
Speaker 1: be eliminated for everything else also. So it just shows
Speaker 1: a very desperate Kamala Harris while also confirming how crazy
Speaker 1: is that a word?
Speaker 8: Ryan?
Speaker 1: It is now far left she is, and causes Joe
Speaker 1: Manchin to come out and say he's not going to
Speaker 1: support her anymore. Height five five for zero five eight
Speaker 1: two five five the number Mayor Mike Kaufman. Next the
Speaker 1: latest from Aura, including the TDA Gang. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dankplas Show.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 1: What could make it better?
Speaker 3: Hmm?
Speaker 1: Ryan, Oh yeah, Mayor Mike Kaufman joins us on the
Speaker 1: Dan CAPLA show. Mister Mayor, how you.
Speaker 5: Doing, Oh, I'm doing great, Thanks for having me. Good.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you're just checking out different make America great again.
Speaker 1: Hats for the upcoming Trump rally and Aurora looking forward
Speaker 1: to seeing you there.
Speaker 5: It is not coming, but I no, I don't know
Speaker 5: that he's not, but I think he would have his
Speaker 5: campaign would have reached out tunes to start the coordination.
Speaker 1: Okay, but that has not happened yet. That was my
Speaker 1: first question. And then I let's say he does come,
Speaker 1: mister mayor. Had heard some media reports that you were
Speaker 1: not going to appear with them campaign rally.
Speaker 5: Is that true or I don't do campaign rallies anymore,
Speaker 5: but I'd be happy to take the president around showing
Speaker 5: the city, have the police department give him a briefing
Speaker 5: on where we are with TDA. So you know, I
Speaker 5: certainly do that, and I've stated publicly I'll be voting
Speaker 5: for the president, hope for the former president, but.
Speaker 1: Why not appear with him? I mean, hey, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: a highly respected guy.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to repeat myself and what I just said,
Speaker 5: let me tell you what to focus on right now.
Speaker 1: But you didn't say why you wouldn't.
Speaker 5: I don't. Yeah I did. I said I didn't do
Speaker 5: political rallies anymore. I've been outside apology artisan politics for
Speaker 5: a while. Don't have any intended intention to get back in.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So it wouldn't matter who it was. It's
Speaker 1: not about Trump.
Speaker 5: Talking about that, and we could spend the whole interview. No,
Speaker 5: let me tell you what I'm working. Let me tell
Speaker 5: you what I'm working. Let me tell you what's important.
Speaker 1: I thought I knew what was important.
Speaker 5: What's important is how Aurora got into this position. And
Speaker 5: what I'm trying to do is to walk it back
Speaker 5: and find out for a city that has been a
Speaker 5: century city historically, for a city that said that we
Speaker 5: are not going to expend our own resources during the
Speaker 5: migrant crisis to provide assistance, for a city that said,
Speaker 5: not only would we not do that, but we wouldn't
Speaker 5: be a conduit for state or federal funds, and for
Speaker 5: a city that took that position to have a problem
Speaker 5: that it has today. Is what I'm trying to find
Speaker 5: out is to Denver play a role in this to
Speaker 5: what extent did the state play a role in this,
Speaker 5: and so what I know is that the state was
Speaker 5: a little bit more transparent only at the beginning at
Speaker 5: the surface that because of the fact that we wouldn't engage,
Speaker 5: that the legislature appropriated two point five million dollars to
Speaker 5: go to to go directly to nonprofits to provide assistance.
Speaker 5: So I know that there was some money out there.
Speaker 5: I think that there was a lot more than that,
Speaker 5: and I think that Denver may very well have participated.
Speaker 5: In fact, there's a story that came out from the
Speaker 5: City Journal that talked about that they did some core
Speaker 5: requests and found that they believed that the well that
Speaker 5: the city and County of Denver gave money to some
Speaker 5: of these nonprofits to basically house some of these migrants,
Speaker 5: and that there was a contract between one of these
Speaker 5: nonprofit organizations receiving the money that maybe it was federal
Speaker 5: money or whatever, but managed by Denver that went to
Speaker 5: one of these nonprofits that very well could have put
Speaker 5: the Venezuelans in these buildings. So we don't I mean,
Speaker 5: how many came, how many did they put here? Was
Speaker 5: there any vetting? Obviously we know there's not vetting at
Speaker 5: the border, right, but was it. But if I were
Speaker 5: Denver and I was going to do some covert operation
Speaker 5: to put to put without telling the mayor to put
Speaker 5: Venezuelan migrants in the city of Aurora or in other migrants,
Speaker 5: you know, I wouldn't want to put the more promising ones,
Speaker 5: you know, and I want to keep them and put
Speaker 5: them in my programs and put the ones that were
Speaker 5: probably questionable to put them in Aurora. Why Aurora, Well,
Speaker 5: because I think that they felt that they could get
Speaker 5: away with it because we're such a diverse city to
Speaker 5: begin with, with large immigrant population.
Speaker 1: Mayor Mike Kauffman our cast now, mister Mayor, without subpoena power,
Speaker 1: how can you get to the bottom of that? And
Speaker 1: can you get subpoena power?
Speaker 5: Well, that's a good question. I mean, I'm going to
Speaker 5: be talking to the mayor and the city attorney from
Speaker 5: the City of Castle Rock. I think that they're doing
Speaker 5: some litigation against Denver. But but there are mechanisms. I mean,
Speaker 5: there are corre requests I think the big issues are.
Speaker 5: And we've also I've asked my staff to reach out
Speaker 5: to these three nonprofits that are Aurora based and say
Speaker 5: can you give can you give us copies of your contracts,
Speaker 5: but we can't force that. But there are corre requests.
Speaker 5: I mean, this story out of this is called The
Speaker 5: City Journal. I'm not really familiar with it. September tenth,
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four. It is by Christina Buttons is an
Speaker 5: independent journalist. Christopher Rufo is a Senior fellow at the
Speaker 5: Manhattan Institute and contributing editor to a city Journal. So
Speaker 5: somebody sent it to me online and so I'm just
Speaker 5: trying to verify the information because they don't include, you know,
Speaker 5: the documents that they that they said that they secured.
Speaker 5: But it's important to trace it back for a couple
Speaker 5: of reasons. Number one, I mean, what were these people
Speaker 5: given to come over here? Was it three months? Were
Speaker 5: at And so this really goes back to my first
Speaker 5: altercation with Mayor Johnston over this issue right after became
Speaker 5: a mayor during the heights of this migrant crisis, where
Speaker 5: he reached out to me and said can you help?
Speaker 5: And I said no. But what he did well, I
Speaker 5: made the mistake first of saying he asked, can I
Speaker 5: use one of your hotels? And I said yes? And
Speaker 5: then that's when it was an extended to say hotel
Speaker 5: that he took over the entire hotel with migrants, pushed
Speaker 5: all these people out on the street. And they these
Speaker 5: they were essentially the working poor people who can't afford
Speaker 5: to a lease or can't get a lease, but and
Speaker 5: pay week to week. And so I said, okay, you
Speaker 5: what i've Then, what I really learned is he had
Speaker 5: no plan for them afterwards. So in other words, once
Speaker 5: their thirty day voucher expired in this in this hotel,
Speaker 5: they were on the street in Aura, and so I said,
Speaker 5: pick him up, and he picked him up. And that
Speaker 5: was the last conversation we had on the issue. And
Speaker 5: so what I think he did, if that, if I
Speaker 5: can verify it, I mean, if if he's it wasn't
Speaker 5: just a state, it was Denver too. That uh, then
Speaker 5: there were no conversations that he that he did contracts,
Speaker 5: you know, without informing me directly to some Aura based
Speaker 5: nonprofits flooded him with some money to take however many
Speaker 5: and I want to I want to know how many
Speaker 5: were put in this city.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, me or Mike Coffin got to get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of that, right because obviously, if you've got
Speaker 1: the mayor of one city, if you've got this governor,
Speaker 1: if you've got these Democrats just to imposing this immigration
Speaker 1: crisis on a sovereign community that has said no, that's
Speaker 1: that's a really big deal and that has to be known.
Speaker 1: I just wish there's a way for you to get
Speaker 1: subpoena power because I know the games they play with
Speaker 1: CORA requests and things like that. But I'm sure you
Speaker 1: have very skilled people who know how to work through that,
Speaker 1: but they're going to have to be persistent.
Speaker 5: Well, that's hopeful, and let's hope it doesn't take litigation.
Speaker 5: It's possible that it might. But I mean this is
Speaker 5: you know, desperate people do desperate things. I mean, these
Speaker 5: are people without work authorization. I think they have to
Speaker 5: be one hundred and fifty days. I mean, all of
Speaker 5: a sudden, in a roar, I'm seeing all these people
Speaker 5: with squeegees on the courtnet. I'm seeing families on the
Speaker 5: street that I've never seen before. And it's it's part
Speaker 5: of the migrant crisis that has bled over to the city.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's created by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden
Speaker 1: and listen to all these other lefties who encourage it.
Speaker 1: But but mister mayor, what's the current state of the
Speaker 1: TDA gang in Aura. We played a sound out of
Speaker 1: NBC Montana earlier about how the TDA gang is sex
Speaker 1: trafficking across the country right now and louring American women
Speaker 1: into sexual slavery as well. Is what's that that TDA
Speaker 1: state of affairs and Aurora.
Speaker 5: Now, well, they're organized criminals and so you know, they
Speaker 5: can be engaged engaged in our host of things. We
Speaker 5: certainly had a briefing by the Drug Enforcement Agency that
Speaker 5: they're involved in fentanyl. In fentanyl in this city is
Speaker 5: just crippling. Yeah, I mean our state streets are flooded
Speaker 5: with fetanyl. It drives the homeless crisis. And if you
Speaker 5: look at if you go to the website for the
Speaker 5: Oral Police Department, I think Aura dot go just if you,
Speaker 5: you know, put in a Royal Police depart a Colorado
Speaker 5: to come up and they and they have essentially a
Speaker 5: log of all the rest that they've made. And so
Speaker 5: I would advise your viewers to take a look at that.
Speaker 5: But it's it's it's not just now TDA is a
Speaker 5: big issue, but I mean I'm concerned at multiple levels
Speaker 5: TDA being one of them. But another one is just
Speaker 5: simple retail theft. I mean, if you have people here
Speaker 5: that are given short term assistance, that have no resources
Speaker 5: of their own, that you know, and we're not a
Speaker 5: city in a county. We don't have the human services
Speaker 5: functions that Denver does and those streams of revenue that
Speaker 5: come with it. We're in three different counties, so it's
Speaker 5: pretty complicated. But we don't direct those county governments. They
Speaker 5: decide what they're going to do, but what kind of
Speaker 5: cost and it's and it's a cost burden on our
Speaker 5: on our school districts. So what is the cost burn what?
Speaker 5: You know? What are the potential criminal impacts of people
Speaker 5: you know, that have no mess to support themselves, that
Speaker 5: can't legally work, that are in the city.
Speaker 1: And mister mayor, we have about thirty seconds left. Thank
Speaker 1: you for being so generous with your time. But can
Speaker 1: we agree that when it comes to the future, that
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump is elected president, that there's going to
Speaker 1: be much better border control and there are going to
Speaker 1: be fewer folks coming into this country illegally, including to
Speaker 1: Aurora from Venezuela.
Speaker 5: You know, I certainly believe, so I hope. So I mean,
Speaker 5: one thing. I think that as a lawyer that if
Speaker 5: you would look at I think it would be a
Speaker 5: fascinating program to see what is the impact of reversing
Speaker 5: Chevron Defronce that has been I think law in this
Speaker 5: country for about forty years. That gave a tremendous administrative
Speaker 5: powers to the agencies of the federal government to make
Speaker 5: decisions without statutory without direct statutory authority, and so but
Speaker 5: you know, I'm there's no question he'll be better than
Speaker 5: Harris on the issue, but I hope that there is.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's so we need immigration reform in this country.
Speaker 5: It's way too hard hard to come legally. It's so
Speaker 5: easy to come illegally into this country, and I don't
Speaker 5: think we're getting the talent that we need as a
Speaker 5: result of that.
Speaker 1: Mister Mayor, grateful for the time today, look forward to
Speaker 1: the next visit.
Speaker 5: Thank you, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. That is a mayor. Mike Kaufman. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 7: What a nice looking man. Who is that? Oh? That shucks,
Speaker 7: what a wonderful looking person. I'm just checking out the
Speaker 7: hairstyl as I'm talking.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 7: No, I'm checking, I'm talking, I'm looking up, I'm saying
Speaker 7: I don't love it. Everyone, What the hell can you
Speaker 7: do that I can do about it? Right?
Speaker 3: We stuck with it.
Speaker 1: Trump in his own hair, that's a new one.
Speaker 4: Self deprecating humor, something his opponent is incapable of.
Speaker 1: No, and that's why, Well, that's not the real reason
Speaker 1: she's not going to the L. Smith Dinner. And listen,
Speaker 1: if you don't know about the L. Smith Dinner, it's
Speaker 1: a really, really big deal in the Catholic community. It's
Speaker 1: part of American political tradition. The nominee Democrat and Republican
Speaker 1: go to this dinner together just before election day, some
Speaker 1: self deprecating humor, takes some shots at each other. It's
Speaker 1: just part of America. But it's a really big Catholic
Speaker 1: fundraiser in New York. So here is a Cardinal Timothy
Speaker 1: Dolan from New York who's widely respected throughout the Catholic
Speaker 1: community in America. In fact, I think he has a
Speaker 1: satellite radio show and worldwide as well. So here's what
Speaker 1: he has to say about that. We're disappointed.
Speaker 8: We were looking forward to giving the vice president and enthusiastic,
Speaker 8: well welcome, and we kind of we were confident that
Speaker 8: she would find this. You know, she speaks very much
Speaker 8: about the high ideals and how it's good to get
Speaker 8: away from division and come together in unity and all.
Speaker 8: That's what the Al Smith Dinner is all about. We
Speaker 8: haven't given up yet. We're not used to this. We
Speaker 8: don't know how to handle it. This hasn't happened in
Speaker 8: forty years since Walter Mondale turned down the invitation, and
Speaker 8: remember he lost forty nine out of fifty states.
Speaker 1: Not subtle from Cardinal Dolan. Yeah, listen, and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying this because I'm Catholic, but whoever wins the Catholic
Speaker 1: vote almost always wins the presidency. And that's particularly magnified
Speaker 1: in a race like this where the Blue Wall states
Speaker 1: are going to be so prominent. So stiffing the l
Speaker 1: Smith Dinner, Ryan, I think there's a decent chance that
Speaker 1: she reverses Field on that.
Speaker 3: Why would I mean, she's got to go.
Speaker 1: Well, the reason she get you know, and these are
Speaker 1: not my words. Russkominski, highly respected talk show host on
Speaker 1: eight fifty k ware her sister station, called her a
Speaker 1: mental midget. And ross is not a flamethrower. No, but
Speaker 1: and those are not my words, those are Rosses. But
Speaker 1: as I've said, she obviously doesn't have the type of intelligence,
Speaker 1: the type of mental capacity necessary to be president. Anybody
Speaker 1: who can't do a press conference can't be president. And
Speaker 1: so I think she lacks the mental ability to go
Speaker 1: to that dinner and do well. But whatever the reasoning is,
Speaker 1: it's it is at the very least extraordinarily risky for her.
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be shocked if she reverses Field. Listen,
Speaker 1: I think they know they're in for a major thumping
Speaker 1: a week from tonight because that's when Vance is decimating walls, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm not even going to call it a debate.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a decimation of walls. And they
Speaker 1: know that it's going to be a very bad night
Speaker 1: for the Harris campaign. I think that's one reason they're
Speaker 1: begging for a second debate. The biggest reason is she
Speaker 1: knows she didn't do what she needs to in the
Speaker 1: first debate. But I cannot wait for a week from
Speaker 1: tonight because unless the moderators, and this one's on CNN, right,
Speaker 1: unless the moderators just step in and literally throw their
Speaker 1: bodies between vance and walls. How does walls survive that? Listen,
Speaker 1: he's a good talker. I'm not trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: lower expectations for him. He's a good talker. But if
Speaker 1: he has to answer questions, there is no good answer
Speaker 1: about her record about these extreme positions she has taken.
Speaker 1: And he's if she's really changed him? When did she
Speaker 1: change him? Why did she? And and things he's done
Speaker 1: and things he's lied about and things he's supported.
Speaker 3: And I think it's CBS by the way that whoever.
Speaker 1: It is, it's going to be a tough night for
Speaker 1: a really tough night from Ryan. Thank you on the
Speaker 1: verge of your fiftieth birthday. This is very exciting for
Speaker 1: all of us. Kelly Human Sunshine, thank you again. Apologies
Speaker 1: to have but he didn't get through. Please call us tomorrow.
