Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast

Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform PORL six And
Speaker 1: lots of fighting ahead needs to be that's for sure.
Speaker 1: And you know who fights so well is Alliance Defending Freedom.
Speaker 1: And if you're not familiar with them, you know whoever
Speaker 1: donates to this and you know they rely on small
Speaker 1: donations as well. My guess is some deep pockets. What
Speaker 1: a smart use of money. Because let's say you're one
Speaker 1: of these gazillionaire types out there and you're looking at
Speaker 1: the most positive impact on America. Well, hey, you fund
Speaker 1: a group, you fund a group like Alliance Defending Freedom,
Speaker 1: and you get all of these elite trial lawyers with
Speaker 1: a conscience and with principle and depellate lawyers, and you
Speaker 1: go out there and you decide to stand up against
Speaker 1: the left and stand up for the Constitution and religious liberty.
Speaker 1: My goodness, the good you can do. An Alliance Defending Freedom
Speaker 1: does just that, and they win a lot, and they
Speaker 1: win a lot in the Supreme Court, and you and
Speaker 1: I are better off for it. So here's another reason
Speaker 1: I'm pleased with them. The lawsuit they filed today in
Speaker 1: the federal court in Colorado, and it's a lawsuit against
Speaker 1: that the state of Colorado over thirteen twelve. And this
Speaker 1: is a big deal because I believe they are certain
Speaker 1: to win eventually at some level. They're eventually going to
Speaker 1: prevail because I think it is so crystal clear that
Speaker 1: they're right. So I'm going to quote to you from
Speaker 1: this lawsuit. Kicked this around a little bit throughout the
Speaker 1: show today, but this is a fresh story. I've got
Speaker 1: the it's called the complaint. As you know, when somebody
Speaker 1: files a lawsuit. I have that in my hands right now,
Speaker 1: and i'll go through some of the key parts with you.
Speaker 1: But the essence of it, as you know, is that
Speaker 1: they're saying under thirteen twelve, you know, they're freedom of speech,
Speaker 1: and you know you've got freedom or religion issues, et
Speaker 1: cetera obviously with thirteen two well, but just flat out
Speaker 1: freedom of speech. That now as this business, and we've
Speaker 1: had the owner of this business, XXXY Athletics on with
Speaker 1: us before, and the great work they're doing just to
Speaker 1: speak the truth, and hey, you've got two genders. You've
Speaker 1: got male and female, and male should not be playing
Speaker 1: female sports. But obviously what thirteen twelve was intended in
Speaker 1: part to do was to censor and to force people
Speaker 1: to lie, to force people to say that, oh no,
Speaker 1: that male is really a female. Right, that's at the
Speaker 1: heart in many ways of thirteen twelve. And so I'm
Speaker 1: glad that xx xxxy is fighting back an alliance defending
Speaker 1: freedom is helping them, because it's hard for me to
Speaker 1: imagine that the courts will eventually say, oh, no, Colorado, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can pass a bill that says business owners have
Speaker 1: to lie, business owners have to lie and say that
Speaker 1: man's really a woman. I cannot imagine for one second
Speaker 1: at least is current US Supreme Court, which usually has
Speaker 1: it right whatever.
Speaker 2: Say that.
Speaker 1: So we've got that positive development today, and then the
Speaker 1: issue becomes, of course, how quickly it can move through
Speaker 1: the court system, because, as we love to say on
Speaker 1: the show, because it's true, with the Left, all this
Speaker 1: unconstitutional garbage that they pass the process is the punishment
Speaker 1: they know they're eventually going to lose. But in the
Speaker 1: meantime they can censor a bunch of people and force
Speaker 1: the victims to spend a lot of money, go through
Speaker 1: a lot of anguish, to go all this way through
Speaker 1: the court system, and when it's just kind of an
Speaker 1: ultimate immoral abuse of power.
Speaker 2: But that's what the left is all about, right, So.
Speaker 1: Lots to chat about today National Hamburger Day also, and
Speaker 1: of course it's the topic, right is what is the
Speaker 1: best hamburger in Colorado? Because I'll tell you, no matter
Speaker 1: where somebody's listening, if they happen to be in the state,
Speaker 1: if there is a truly just great perfect burger. And
Speaker 1: it's different for everybody, right, but if there was a great,
Speaker 1: perfect burger, if you're like me, you'd go anywhere to
Speaker 1: get it because there's just something about it. I think
Speaker 1: it's it's just primal. It's part of who we are.
Speaker 1: If there's that perfect burger, whatever it takes. So we'll
Speaker 1: take those calls and text as well, what's your favorite
Speaker 1: burger in Colorado?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I just had one.
Speaker 5: It's really tough to beat Cherry Cricket, and there's a
Speaker 5: couple of locations I generally go there. My buddy Christian
Speaker 5: Toto Hollywood intoto dot Com We just went.
Speaker 6: To a couple of games of the yank Paper I
Speaker 6: hope so Yankees.
Speaker 5: Rockies series, and there's one that's just diagonally across from
Speaker 5: Creuers Field.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 5: It's great stop before the games if you're ever planning that,
Speaker 5: and you really can't go wrong.
Speaker 6: It's one of those few places. This is the test
Speaker 6: for me. Is I normally order a burger.
Speaker 5: Cooked medium, which is a little light for some people,
Speaker 5: But there I'll get a medium.
Speaker 2: Rare all right? Well, yeah, yeah, that says a lot.
Speaker 6: It does say a lot.
Speaker 5: You're right, the quality of the beef, the flavor, just
Speaker 5: the creativity they have on their menu too.
Speaker 6: They're not paying me. I ever heard this, by the way,
Speaker 6: it's just my opinions.
Speaker 2: And their wives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, in and out it's hard to beat.
Speaker 1: I'm not the best burger in the world, right but
Speaker 1: like we got our trout Friday, we go over it
Speaker 1: in and out. But for me and I don't want
Speaker 1: to spend the whole show on this getting the feeling.
Speaker 1: We probably will, but it to me if you can
Speaker 1: get that charcoal. And like Joe on Memorial Day, he
Speaker 1: just moved into a new apartment. He has a summer
Speaker 1: job in DC at law firm, and they moved into
Speaker 1: this new apartment and the gas girls weren't working, and
Speaker 1: I said, this is the greatest day of your life
Speaker 1: because now you get to do what we grew up doing.
Speaker 1: And you get the charcoal out, and you get the
Speaker 1: big old can of fluid and you get that charcoal cooking,
Speaker 1: and watch out because of fire. I'll come back right
Speaker 1: up the fluid and blow up the can. But just
Speaker 1: cook that burger over the charcoal and get it really
Speaker 1: really just just really well done seared on the outside.
Speaker 1: And then you get that cheese melting over the side
Speaker 1: of it, and you toast up the bun. No no
Speaker 1: butter or garlic or anything in that bun. You just
Speaker 1: toast up the bun and you have a real caveman burger.
Speaker 1: All right, that sounds great, So best burger in Colorado
Speaker 1: someone three eight two five five text d A N
Speaker 1: five seven, seven through nine. And this is where you
Speaker 1: can really chip in and do something great for your
Speaker 1: fellow man and woman if you can turn them onto
Speaker 1: a truly great burger.
Speaker 7: And Kelly, what say you, I do like cherry cricket,
Speaker 7: but I will tell you that there is a burger
Speaker 7: at a steakhouse called Perry's down in the Tech.
Speaker 1: Center that is really good. And I Kelly, oh, thank
Speaker 1: you for raising that, because I don't know that we
Speaker 1: can call anything a burger over a certain price, right
Speaker 1: then you're just getting like a ground up steak.
Speaker 7: And I will tell you that's exactly what they do.
Speaker 7: They take a play and a rabbi and they basically
Speaker 7: make their own.
Speaker 2: That's a burger.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: I love the place, and I have no doubt it's great.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm talking about real burger. So it has
Speaker 1: to be under what price to be a real burger?
Speaker 6: I don't know these days. Under twenty five.
Speaker 1: Twenty five's sick, man, I know it.
Speaker 2: I think to be a real burger, it's got to
Speaker 2: be under.
Speaker 6: fIF I think Cherry Cricket is more than that for
Speaker 6: some of them. For some of them, well then I'm wrong.
Speaker 6: I think it's round fifteen though.
Speaker 5: For and I'm probably really the basic burger at Cherry Cricket,
Speaker 5: I think you can get for about ten bucks, I think.
Speaker 5: But the more kind of churched up the ones they entered,
Speaker 5: the contests and stuff, I think those run about fifteen.
Speaker 1: Okay, or so okay, yeah, so let's say under twenty,
Speaker 1: under twenty. But anyway, we'll take those texts, will take
Speaker 1: those calls. Yeah boy, the yeah text flown in right now.
Speaker 1: Please do try to shorten them up, folks. I'll get
Speaker 1: as many as I can. On air, Dan, I blame
Speaker 1: Trump for not getting a consecutive second term, says this Texter,
Speaker 1: and then goes on to say, if you could have
Speaker 1: been a little more humble, I think it would have
Speaker 1: been a hold different ball game. This is an interesting
Speaker 1: topic that came up at the end of the show
Speaker 1: yesterday because the President was talking about this, how you
Speaker 1: know he's kind of glad he's doing a second term
Speaker 1: now because he gets the two fifty anniversary of the
Speaker 1: US and I was saying, yeah, I'm really happy we
Speaker 1: have him now. But man, if he'd gotten that consecutive term,
Speaker 1: think about it, we don't have have the raping and
Speaker 1: pillaging of Ukraine. You know, we don't have all those
Speaker 1: people slaughtered, we don't have October seven. If President Trump
Speaker 1: gets that consecutive term, we don't have October seven. A
Speaker 1: consecutive term, there would have been so much success because
Speaker 1: think about it, other than COVID he had virtually uninterrupted success.
Speaker 1: There would have been so much success that you probably
Speaker 1: then get a Republican successor in the White House and
Speaker 1: we avoid all the carnage and uman economic et cetera
Speaker 1: under Biden. So as much as I love having him now,
Speaker 1: I think the world be such a better place if
Speaker 1: he had had consecutive terms.
Speaker 2: But love your thoughts on that.
Speaker 1: Also have a lot of sound to get through. We
Speaker 1: have some fresh James Commy sound. Has he been prosecuted yet?
Speaker 1: Call me no, but I think he got a little
Speaker 1: sick this killed Trump thing, this six forty seven. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: he's played in ignorance.
Speaker 2: Dan maybe his best defense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's but as I predicted before we can talk
Speaker 1: about this some more with the fresh Komi sound, there
Speaker 1: is no doubt in my mind that he meant to
Speaker 1: encourage the assassination of Donald Trump, but also no doubt
Speaker 1: in my mind that he cannot be successfully prosecuted for it.
Speaker 1: Could he be ethically charged, probably, and depending upon what
Speaker 1: they find in other evidence, electronic evidence, et cetera.
Speaker 2: But I don't think that he could.
Speaker 1: Eventually be convicted because there is so much protection for
Speaker 1: quote political speech and then he gets up there and
Speaker 1: lies and says, oh, I have no idea, A meout this.
Speaker 1: I meant that, And they show a million examples of
Speaker 1: people using that term just to say, you know, we
Speaker 1: don't like Trump's policies, but you know, on the basic
Speaker 1: moral level, there is no doubt in my mind. Literally,
Speaker 1: God forgive me if I'm wrong, but truly there's no
Speaker 1: doubt in my mind he meant to encourage the assassination
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. Three or three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five texts DA and five seven.
Speaker 2: Seven three nine you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast had
Speaker 6: a history of.
Speaker 8: It, I mean of openly mocking him, mocking his wife,
Speaker 8: Satan media, and they're doing this again in a way again,
Speaker 8: as Richard said, seems openly provocative, hoping that he'll do
Speaker 8: with Ukraine what Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: Did with Afghanistan and just wash his hands of it.
Speaker 6: So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Wow, Scarborough, can't I won't even say be that dummy.
Speaker 1: He's not dumb. He's an intelligent guy. Obviously, he has
Speaker 1: a lot of goofy ideas and terrible ideas and he
Speaker 1: says untrue things often, but he's not a dumb person.
Speaker 1: What would cause any thinking, any rational person to believe
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump's going to let Vlanheimer Putin win? Now,
Speaker 1: I'm happy to say that, because Putin is satan on
Speaker 1: earth and Putin should not be allowed to win. No
Speaker 1: American's on the ground, no opened and a financial commitment.
Speaker 1: But who in the right mind one in Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: past would suggest to any thinking person that he would
Speaker 1: allow Putin to win. Here would suggest to anybody, including
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough, that Trump is going to act like Biden.
Speaker 1: It's insane, It's insane, and so no. I think that
Speaker 1: Putin is going to pay a very big price, a
Speaker 1: very big price for doing what he did to Trump.
Speaker 1: And I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 2: That is a good thing.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five takes
Speaker 1: d a N five seven seven three nine, And we
Speaker 1: may never know, We may never know Trump Trump's fingerprints
Speaker 1: may not be on it. But Putin's going to pay
Speaker 1: a very big price for that. And I think that
Speaker 1: it will bring a piece deal sooner, and a deal
Speaker 1: that will be better for Ukraine than the deal might
Speaker 1: have been two months ago. All right, love your thoughts
Speaker 1: on that. Let's go to the phone lines. They are smoking,
Speaker 1: which is appropriate because you have this life and death
Speaker 1: stuff that he is hot, but also it's a national
Speaker 1: Hamburger Day and that's what most of us care about deeply.
Speaker 1: Jeff and Peblo, you're on the Dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 4: Welcome Heyd. As far as burgers go, the skirted halfer
Speaker 4: in Colorado Springs has got.
Speaker 2: To be the best skirted halfer. Okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they melt the cheese and if you get it skirted,
Speaker 4: it's melted, it comes down. It's fried cheese around the
Speaker 4: edges of him.
Speaker 6: Wonderful.
Speaker 2: Okay, good to know.
Speaker 4: As far as Trump with his consecutive terms, I wish
Speaker 4: you would have had consecutive, but I thank him having
Speaker 4: the split the deep state and the evil list that
Speaker 4: they showed their hand held have never seen with the
Speaker 4: immigration and all of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a good point there, man.
Speaker 1: He's going to be a much better president in this
Speaker 1: second term than he would have been in consecutive terms,
Speaker 1: right because he had four years to think about it,
Speaker 1: et cetera. But at the same time, he was on
Speaker 1: a role in the first term minus COVID and the world.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't have had Afghanistan withdrawal the way it was done.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't have had the raping and toade of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't have had October seven. So I'd still if
Speaker 1: I had the magic wand I would have wanted consecutive terms.
Speaker 1: And then he would have been followed by a Republican.
Speaker 1: Let's go up to beautiful Wyoming talk to Rob. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kaplis, sh'll welcome.
Speaker 3: Hey, Dan, Happy Hamburger Days.
Speaker 2: Oh I've got no b for that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, sorry, that was cheaping.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah it was girl, Mum.
Speaker 3: I wanted to know what you think it will take
Speaker 3: to get the senselessness on the roadways and the apparently
Speaker 3: people having the liberty to break into cars when they
Speaker 3: want and all that nonsense. People driving one ten, one
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty down ie twenty five to stop, than
Speaker 3: what might happen?
Speaker 1: Thank you, Robin, and thank you for zeroing in on
Speaker 1: one of the big big issues of our lifetime that's
Speaker 1: not getting nearly enough attention, right and so what there's
Speaker 1: no silver bullet fix. But you and I both know
Speaker 1: I can tell from the way you ask the question.
Speaker 2: We both know that there is a fix.
Speaker 1: There is something we can do that will make this
Speaker 1: infinitely better and in twenty seconds or less, and then
Speaker 1: I could go into pages on this. What it's going
Speaker 1: to take, as I think you already know, Rob, is
Speaker 1: it is going to take much tougher laws that put
Speaker 1: reckless drivers in jail, that have them lose their license
Speaker 1: for a long long time, that make more driving offenses
Speaker 1: and actual felony. It's going to take that, and then
Speaker 1: it's going to take enforcement. And I think you know
Speaker 1: this also, Rob, you think about how grossly underfunded and
Speaker 1: undersupported law enforcement is.
Speaker 2: At every level.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to take special roadway enforcement and
Speaker 1: it's going to take a lot of support for that,
Speaker 1: because once these yahoo's often drugged up off and drunk
Speaker 1: of whatever. But but once they know that there's a
Speaker 1: real chance they're going to be caught, you're going to
Speaker 1: cut that stuff more than in half on day one, right,
Speaker 1: and it's going to take more severe financial penalties. This state,
Speaker 1: across party lines, needs to stand up and say, listen,
Speaker 1: our priority is innocent human life and we are not
Speaker 1: going to let these sobs take our wives, our daughters,
Speaker 1: our sons. But we're not going to let them do
Speaker 1: it anymore and declare war on these reckless drivers.
Speaker 3: How would we get there?
Speaker 1: Dan, Oh, it's the easiest thing in the world.
Speaker 2: It's the easiest thing in the world.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 1: All you need are the kind of tougher laws I
Speaker 1: just talked about, and the will of the elected officials
Speaker 1: to fund the effort. And if you're going to spend
Speaker 1: money on anything, why wouldn't it be this.
Speaker 3: Well that that would definitely be my thought on it.
Speaker 3: But I'm thinking, when are we going to see it?
Speaker 1: Hey, you may never see it, but you should. And
Speaker 1: I think if somebody crystallized this for the people of
Speaker 1: this state, it would happen, because in terms of that
Speaker 1: impact us every day right in real life, how.
Speaker 6: Many things impact us more?
Speaker 1: Virtually everybody drives virtually, even if they never get hit,
Speaker 1: and I hope they don't, they get subjected to all
Speaker 1: of this anxiety and danger and stress, and and everybody,
Speaker 1: every single person listening who as a child, they're constantly,
Speaker 1: constantly worried about their child's safety on the roadway, et cetera.
Speaker 1: So if somebody could just put together the plan, give
Speaker 1: the people a way to vote on it, or otherwise
Speaker 1: support it. You saw the Dems, right, Rob, You saw
Speaker 1: the Dems kill this bill in the last session that
Speaker 1: just would have toughened some reckless driving penalties. But the
Speaker 1: Dems wouldn't that because they're so pro criminal. So maybe
Speaker 1: you gotta take yeah, oh okay, yeah, so I'm glad
Speaker 1: you hit.
Speaker 3: On that man behind it. What a referendum of any
Speaker 3: kind of work.
Speaker 2: I think that's what it's going to take.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to take a ballot measure as
Speaker 1: long as the Dems are in charge in this state.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about like the Democrat I sleep with
Speaker 1: allegedly now unaffiliated, though I haven't asked her that, but
Speaker 1: but the people who control the Legislatu're right, they're not
Speaker 1: going to pass anything like that because they're so pro criminal.
Speaker 2: So it's going to have to be a ballot measure.
Speaker 3: Right. So, despite the fact that you know, it's a
Speaker 3: pretty blue, not generally in favor of law enforcement state,
Speaker 3: some of the people are many of the people could
Speaker 3: theoretically be behind one of the referenda like that, and
Speaker 3: so maybe that would be all it would take to
Speaker 3: change that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, you know, Rob, people care so
Speaker 1: much more about their children than they care about their
Speaker 1: political party, and so yeah, yeah, I really think. But
Speaker 1: you know the drill with these ballot measures, right, you
Speaker 1: have to have enormous money first to get it on
Speaker 1: and then in order to win the battle out there. Though,
Speaker 1: it would be very interesting to see. You'd probably need
Speaker 1: about two of these, maybe three package together just to
Speaker 1: address single subject. But it'd be interesting to see where
Speaker 1: the opposition money would come from on a ballot package
Speaker 1: like this. Just Colorado standing up and you want to
Speaker 1: talk what a brilliant call, Rob. You want to talk
Speaker 1: about a great all the other benefits, right, starting with
Speaker 1: the most precious innocent human life and protecting it across
Speaker 1: party lines. Then you talk about the other benefits you
Speaker 1: want to attract. You want to keep jobs because Colorado
Speaker 1: right now is becoming the haven for what bud tender jobs?
Speaker 1: Do you want to attract really good jobs? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: CEOs and other people making these decisions. Move your family here.
Speaker 1: It'll be the safest state in the country on the roadways.
Speaker 2: We're not that now.
Speaker 6: You're on the Dan Caplish, you're listening to the Dan
Speaker 6: Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 10: Waiting to shake hands with our respective husbands, you know,
Speaker 10: people like reaching over our heads and spilling water on
Speaker 10: us trying to get to these two, you know, illustrious men,
Speaker 10: you know.
Speaker 1: Uh, And she didn't. She didn't.
Speaker 10: She had the same look on her face as I did,
Speaker 10: like here.
Speaker 3: We go, you know.
Speaker 10: And I looked over at at this beautiful woman.
Speaker 1: We had Did we even have a conversation? Not until
Speaker 1: later in the end after that was we hadn't met.
Speaker 1: We hadn't met.
Speaker 10: But I just saw a look on her face which
Speaker 10: which expressed the sentiments that I felt, which was pissed off.
Speaker 1: Has to be so hard right to be married to
Speaker 1: somebody popular. Fortunately my wife does not have that challenge
Speaker 1: in her life. But yeah, wow, yeah, what do you
Speaker 1: say about that?
Speaker 2: Other than.
Speaker 1: Maybe she was wise not to run for president. We'll
Speaker 1: get to the phone lines in a second day. And
Speaker 1: I have lived from the east coast to the west
Speaker 1: coast in.
Speaker 2: My fifty five years.
Speaker 1: Colorado has the rudest drivers, all in caps. I got
Speaker 1: to tell you, that's way too polite a term. And
Speaker 1: because what's happened in this state, and I've been blessed
Speaker 1: to be or many decades, what's what's happened in this
Speaker 1: state is is the left has undermined law enforcement, and
Speaker 1: as the left has become pro criminal, our roadways have
Speaker 1: turned into a killing field. And I also know that
Speaker 1: because that's what I do for a living. Right. I
Speaker 1: was in trial two weeks ago, three weeks ago, I
Speaker 1: was in trial last week. I'll be in trial next week.
Speaker 1: The week after that, I'll be in trial in a
Speaker 1: horrific death case. Yeah, it's become a killing field, and
Speaker 1: it's insane because no civilized society, you would think, would
Speaker 1: allow that. I mean the highways, that's like our circulatory
Speaker 1: system that we've allowed it to become infected. Right in,
Speaker 1: any yahoo who can get out there in a two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars car decides to drive two hundred miles an hour,
Speaker 1: or it could be somebody in a Rolls Royce who's
Speaker 1: had too much to drink or they're eating some medicals.
Speaker 1: I mean, why in the world do we allow ourselves
Speaker 1: to be preyed upon this way? You would think just
Speaker 1: basic self protection and protection of our loved ones. Who
Speaker 1: would say, you know what the starting point in this
Speaker 1: state is going to be. You know, anybody who would
Speaker 1: wrongfully harm our family, We're going to let them know
Speaker 1: this is the last state in the world they want
Speaker 1: to set foot in. Shouldn't that be the starting point
Speaker 1: for Colorado? And yet it's the opposite when you look
Speaker 1: at how laughably weak our laws are regarding traffic offenses.
Speaker 1: And don't blame the judges, don't blame the das except
Speaker 1: one notable exception we talked about recently out in a rapo.
Speaker 1: But the law is so weak when it comes to
Speaker 1: punishing even people who kill on our roadways. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: this be a major priority for the state. Three or
Speaker 1: three someone three eight two five five text d an
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine. Why do you think Colorado
Speaker 1: tolerates that?
Speaker 2: Ryan?
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, this is an acceptable casualty rate.
Speaker 2: Why why?
Speaker 6: I can't come up with a reason why.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those issues where there's a
Speaker 1: tremendous lack of leadership out there and where the people
Speaker 1: would rally, the people would respond obviously, right, just self preservation.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a case where you have
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people thinking, Man, I don't want
Speaker 1: to toughen those laws up because it could be me
Speaker 1: or it could be my kid. No, not the kind
Speaker 1: of stuff we're talking about, though, you're never gonna really
Speaker 1: get a grip on this until you include texting while driving, right,
Speaker 1: because that is literally driving blindfolded.
Speaker 2: That's how I explain it.
Speaker 1: To jury's and juries always agree that is driving blindfolding,
Speaker 1: and the penalties have to be much much much more
Speaker 1: severe than that for that in every way. Hey, we're
Speaker 1: also talking about to date, this tremendous lawsuit that was
Speaker 1: filed by XXXY Athletics. Remember we've had the owner on
Speaker 1: the show. They're doing great work standing up for women
Speaker 1: and women's sports, and they have a clothing line, et cetera.
Speaker 1: So they have quite properly sued the state of Colorado
Speaker 1: over this house built thirteen twelve, which is now law
Speaker 1: in Colorado, saying that it infringes their free speech, which
Speaker 1: is like the understatement of a lifetime right. I guess
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're in violation of the law
Speaker 1: if you speak the truth. But that's the common denominator
Speaker 1: with the left right. They know that they can't win
Speaker 1: an honest argument or debate. They can't win at a
Speaker 1: logic facts, morality, so they have to criminalize the truth
Speaker 1: if it's a truth. They don't like, and that's what
Speaker 1: they're doing with thirteen twelve? Is this still our friend
Speaker 1: Rob from Wyoming? We don't normally go back, but maybe
Speaker 1: he just left the line open. We might hear something interesting. Rob,
Speaker 1: you're still there.
Speaker 3: I'm actually still here. Oh good, I wasn't time to
Speaker 3: stay on, but uh, it's just so compelling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely maybe my new after shape. What what what
Speaker 2: is your favorite after dape?
Speaker 1: Because any time i'd buy like any kind of Colonne
Speaker 1: or anything, which is once a year, it's tradition since
Speaker 1: she was for our daughter, Caroline ghosts with me and
Speaker 1: and I never have any idea what to get, but
Speaker 1: she figures something out.
Speaker 2: So what what do you wear? Rob? In Wyoming?
Speaker 3: I would be open to any suggestions. I don't really
Speaker 3: use Okay, and any kind of cologne I don't use either,
Speaker 3: but any any good dance suggestions would be I appreciate
Speaker 3: that because.
Speaker 1: She got me this new stuff in the mall the
Speaker 1: other day. I'm not even sure what it's called, but
Speaker 1: Amy likes it, so it's a ten.
Speaker 2: Ryan.
Speaker 1: Uh, what what is that fragrance that follows you around
Speaker 1: so so well?
Speaker 4: Me?
Speaker 6: I try to, you know, wash regularly.
Speaker 2: That's you know the absence of good.
Speaker 5: But there is one that I do like and I
Speaker 5: don't like many, and it's Birdbury, London, and I do
Speaker 5: wear that on occasion.
Speaker 2: Have you ever tried Paco Rabon?
Speaker 6: Well, that's you know, I know that's one of your favorites.
Speaker 2: I've always liked it overbon.
Speaker 6: But the ladies like it, that's the important part. Doesn't matter,
Speaker 6: we like it.
Speaker 1: Hard to argue with that logic, except it's singular.
Speaker 6: Now, for like the last does the lady like amyow.
Speaker 2: Thirty one years in just a few weeks?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the lady like it.
Speaker 6: No, okay, that's all the man she does not like
Speaker 6: Paco rabon? She does not.
Speaker 2: Those days ended, Yeah, those days ended. Okay, Brute gone,
Speaker 2: Paco Rabbon gone.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Brute's not great, but she but yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's the only well, it's one of the big
Speaker 1: reasons that I'm blessed to be married to my wife,
Speaker 1: is brute? I ever tell you this story, Rob, Probably
Speaker 1: not since we've never met, but but long before I
Speaker 1: met Amy, there's this wonderful, wonderful young lady and had
Speaker 1: a great relationship and took me to me your parents.
Speaker 1: But my my sweater smelled so my friend in the
Speaker 1: Evans Scholar house gave me a can of spray on
Speaker 1: brute and said, just great.
Speaker 2: They threw me out of the house.
Speaker 1: I can't remember what their pretext was, but they somehow
Speaker 1: got me out of the house within about ten minutes
Speaker 1: and I was saved to eventually meet and marry my wife.
Speaker 3: What was that the reason?
Speaker 9: Or well, that's a.
Speaker 3: Time. It's a great, great thing to have happened. Because no,
Speaker 3: whenever I listened to you, Dan, I'm always struck by
Speaker 3: you know. It seems like what a special relationship you
Speaker 3: have with her. You can just you can hear it
Speaker 3: in your voice. You just come away by thinking that
Speaker 3: you've got something special there.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Well, thank you for saying that, Robin, and
Speaker 1: thank you for your call my friend. This is going
Speaker 1: to be really hinky and I probably shouldn't say it,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to get relentlessly mocked for having said it,
Speaker 1: probably starting with my wife. So I won't say it.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two fine, and not
Speaker 1: do that to the audience. Dan, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: have an audience if I say it.
Speaker 6: That was a really nice thing, a really nice even Rob.
Speaker 1: And because Rob was so nice and heartfelt. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you what happened.
Speaker 2: And this is true. I remember it like it was
Speaker 2: thirty seconds ago.
Speaker 1: I was probably like thirty four years old, thirty five
Speaker 1: years old, and you know, I'm thinking at that point,
Speaker 1: I'm never going to meet miss right.
Speaker 2: And you know, life's great.
Speaker 1: Hey, I've got this great lock career, got my dog,
Speaker 1: got this great house in Boulder and a golf course.
Speaker 1: Everything's clicking. But you know, you just you're never gonna
Speaker 1: get fulfillment that way, right, And I just I remember
Speaker 1: actually in my evening prayers one day, just saying, hey, God,
Speaker 1: you know, give me all this stuff, but just send
Speaker 1: me the right woman. And I remember these words, Ryan,
Speaker 1: I remember these words. See you can hear radios turning
Speaker 1: off all over the city. Is that a barf bag
Speaker 1: you have? But I remember, truly, I remember like it
Speaker 1: was five seconds ago, seeing these exact words. Got a promise,
Speaker 1: send me the right woman, and I won't screw it up.
Speaker 6: That's a bad promise, you mayah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I met her not long after that, and
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think I kept the promise.
Speaker 1: I think, God, yeah, yeah, No, there's no doubt about that,
Speaker 1: but I think I actually kept mine. Well done, sir, Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you three oh three someone three two five five
Speaker 1: the number text d A N five seven seven three nine. Hey,
Speaker 1: when we come back, I want to give you a
Speaker 1: quick spin through this really great, important lawsuit file today
Speaker 1: by Alliance Defending Freedom against the State of Colorado on
Speaker 1: behalf of a great company x x X Y Athletics
Speaker 1: woman owned, standing up for women in sports, and it's
Speaker 1: to try to strike down thirteen twelve. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dancaples Shill.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Kapless Show podcast.
Speaker 1: There has to be some kind of competition, some way
Speaker 1: that you can use this kind of supernatural skill, right,
Speaker 1: because you're able to pull out of your head for
Speaker 1: any point you want to make a song, and a
Speaker 1: good one. I mean I can count the number of
Speaker 1: really awful songs you have played on two hands and
Speaker 1: two feet. And we've been together how long?
Speaker 6: Almost seven years?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: See, not that is is a tremendous skill.
Speaker 5: Well, I certainly hear about it when it goes south,
Speaker 5: but luckily, like you said, it's infrequent.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a home run there.
Speaker 2: Right, that really was? That was really really good.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: d an five seven seven three nine. If anybody ever
Speaker 1: did ask for my advice, like anybody younger than me,
Speaker 1: they're a handful out there and nobody ever will. But
Speaker 1: the advice I would give them is, if you get
Speaker 1: one thing right, make it who you marry. Well, probably
Speaker 1: first you know your faith, but then make it about
Speaker 1: who you marry. And listen to some of you. That's
Speaker 1: not always possible, right because you know, you think you're
Speaker 1: marrying somebody. But if you get one thing right, make
Speaker 1: it who you married.
Speaker 5: And what other decision in your entire life is more
Speaker 5: important than that one? Oh, my Lord, just shapes everything, right,
Speaker 5: it does.
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine, because I've said the same thing about
Speaker 1: having great parents. I can't imagine the kids who didn't
Speaker 1: and what life must have been like for them. But
Speaker 1: I also can't imagine being married to the wrong person.
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be like torture, wouldn't it happen?
Speaker 1: I mean, and listen, I'm not trying to say we
Speaker 1: haven't had our disagreements over the years. We don't even
Speaker 1: talk politics, and we've had our you know, like every marriage,
Speaker 1: we have our share of the stuff into this and
Speaker 1: the that. But but it's been a tremendous almost thirty
Speaker 1: one years now, so I cannot even imagine being married
Speaker 1: to the wrong person.
Speaker 2: So let's say Ryan. Let's say Ryan.
Speaker 1: Somebody said, Okay, then what's the key to making sure
Speaker 1: you marry the right person?
Speaker 2: Correct? Yeah, Well we'll open that one up.
Speaker 1: Text d A N five seven seven three nine three
Speaker 1: or three seveone three eight two five five the number.
Speaker 1: I think the starting point is don't marry the wrong person.
Speaker 1: That's the starting point, because I truly I was thinking actively.
Speaker 1: I can't look in the eye and say what happened
Speaker 1: for sure, but I think I was thinking actively of
Speaker 1: going back to the seminary. You know, if I didn't,
Speaker 1: I figure, in you know, mid thirties, if you haven't
Speaker 1: met the right person yet, maybe it's not meant to be.
Speaker 2: Maybe I should head back to the seminary.
Speaker 1: After all, I was heading to the seminary until I
Speaker 1: got the Evans scholarship, that Golf Caddy scholarships, and I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to get out in the world and experience
Speaker 1: all those things and then go back to the seminary.
Speaker 2: I got out in the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, experienced all those sakes and then just figured I
Speaker 1: was meant for a different path. But by then you
Speaker 1: get mid thirty and you haven't. You've met some great women,
Speaker 1: believe me, I was so privileged to know and date
Speaker 1: some really outstanding people, but not you know, the marriage
Speaker 1: thing wasn't going to happen, and so yeah, you start
Speaker 1: to think maybe I'm supposed to go back to the seminary.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I think step one is don't marry
Speaker 1: the wrong person, because don't you think a lot of people,
Speaker 1: and you've resisted this so admirably, don't you think a
Speaker 1: lot of people just at a certain point end up
Speaker 1: saying I'm x age, I got to marry somebody.
Speaker 5: Well, it's the name of a movie, Jack Nicholson. You
Speaker 5: might remember this as good as it gets? Is this
Speaker 5: as good as it gets?
Speaker 9: Oh? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Well yeah, but I mean, do you ask yourself that question?
Speaker 6: At some point?
Speaker 5: Of course you do, and Dan, I would have been
Speaker 5: a noble path to go to the seminary and commit
Speaker 5: your life to that. But there were a couple inflection points, right,
Speaker 5: It's this butterfly effect that things had to happen at
Speaker 5: the right time for the right reason, and they did
Speaker 5: for you.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and I think listen, everybody listening, I think
Speaker 1: is always just asking themselves the same question, you know,
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 2: You know, well, what am I meant to do?
Speaker 1: And I think most people spend their lives just sincerely
Speaker 1: true to figure that out. And for me, I really
Speaker 1: did feel like, no, I was supposed to be on
Speaker 1: a different road. And you know, I'm sure many people
Speaker 1: listening feel the same way. When I look at our kids,
Speaker 1: I just say, yeah, that's what I was meant to do,
Speaker 1: because it's hard to imagine the world without them, right,
Speaker 1: So you just think, okay, yeah, that's clearly what I
Speaker 1: was meant to do, and then have a great time
Speaker 1: in the meantime with a wonderful woman. For I can't
Speaker 1: believe it's almost thirty one years.
Speaker 6: That's wild. It's good that it doesn't feel like yeah long,
Speaker 6: you know, man.
Speaker 1: The first year felt so long, and I can't imagine
Speaker 1: how long it felt for her, because I'd been single
Speaker 1: till I was thirty five. And I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: long in terms of oh, I want to be back
Speaker 1: out there dating. That's the last thing I wanted to
Speaker 1: be but I was used to thirty five years. I
Speaker 1: had one plate, one knife, one fork, a dog, a
Speaker 1: big screen TV. I had work, and I played golf,
Speaker 1: and then you know, you get married.
Speaker 2: It's a different deal.
Speaker 9: But but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that other thirty of the thirty one of just loan.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Clyde in Ovada. You're on the Dan capitalist.
Speaker 9: You're welcome, Hi Dan. Yeah, this is Clyde. My wife's
Speaker 9: name is Bonnie.
Speaker 2: And uh, all right Clyde.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, I just turned on.
Speaker 9: The radio a little bit ago. I was kind of
Speaker 9: napping today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good thing to do. And this is
Speaker 1: a place to wake up.
Speaker 9: Hey, I went up to Wyoming the other day. I
Speaker 9: get a few fireworks. My mother in law passed away
Speaker 9: the other day.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Clyde.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I stopped at this Why the fire work huh?
Speaker 2: Why the fireworks?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 9: My friend wanted to get some fireworks and stuff.
Speaker 2: I thought you were tying it to the mother in law.
Speaker 2: But but please go ahead.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah, Well, anyways, I went up to Wyoming, my
Speaker 9: wife and I and Kim we went up there in
Speaker 9: a freak job. Can we stopped at this place and
Speaker 9: I'm trying to think of the name of this place.
Speaker 9: I twenty five way up there by Wickens or somewhere
Speaker 9: up in there called it's a big place.
Speaker 1: And Clyde, forgive me, Oh, I think I know what
Speaker 1: you're doing. Is this a call on the best burger
Speaker 1: in the state.
Speaker 9: No, No, it's up by Johnson's Corners.
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful place, Clyde. I am so sorry that
Speaker 1: the music is forcing us into a break here. We've
Speaker 1: got to get rid of this music. We've got to
Speaker 1: get rid of these breaks. And when I come back
Speaker 1: to the text, they're blowing up over one of the
Speaker 1: most important topics we could ever talk about for.
Speaker 2: You, and that is the carnage on our roadways.
Speaker 1: How this state got so out of control, what we
Speaker 1: need to do to fix it, And our listeners have
Speaker 1: good ideas.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
