Speaker 1: There will be a lot to celebrate, at the very
Speaker 1: least throughout this Trump term, and let's hope far beyond
Speaker 1: that lot of ground to cover this afternoon. Thanks for
Speaker 1: being here, Lauren Pennington. A good piece in the Denver Post,
Speaker 1: a story I'm sure didn't see coming. You've probably heard
Speaker 1: it already today, but I want to get your take
Speaker 1: on it. What do you think cost this, What do
Speaker 1: you think really happened here? What do you think the
Speaker 1: punishment should be? Castle Rock school bus driver accused of
Speaker 1: abandoning forty elementary students miles from home. And then as
Speaker 1: I read your parts of this story, you'll get to
Speaker 1: just one of the most mind blowing, bending bureaucratic type
Speaker 1: spin moves in human history, which is I think going
Speaker 1: to fall very flat here. A castle Rock school bus
Speaker 1: driver abandoned forty elementary schoolers Monday evening at a random
Speaker 1: intersection miles away from their homes. Parents in school district
Speaker 1: officials said. Parents told nine News that the driver, who
Speaker 1: they claim was a substitute for the route that day,
Speaker 1: forced their Clear Sky Elementary School students off the bus
Speaker 1: near a cemetery at Wolfsonberger Road and Auburn Drive Douglas
Speaker 1: County School District officials would not confirm if the driver
Speaker 1: was a substitute. Editorial note, I saw in another story
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes ago that it was confirmed that
Speaker 1: he or she was, and that they were fired anyway.
Speaker 1: The story goes on in a video posted by nine News,
Speaker 1: students said the trouble started before they even left the
Speaker 1: parking lot. One girl said the bus driver refused to
Speaker 1: move until they all stopped talking, which caused them to
Speaker 1: leave the school later than they normally would. Multiple parents
Speaker 1: also said their children reported the driver threatening them and
Speaker 1: using vulgar language. Quote, we felt like when he was
Speaker 1: driving and missing our stops, like we were getting kidnapped,
Speaker 1: Caitlin Zevidel, a ten year old student, told nine News.
Speaker 1: The bus driver eventually stopped around five pm, about two
Speaker 1: miles from the school on the corner of Wolfsenberger and Auburn,
Speaker 1: and forced all forty kids out of the bus. Students
Speaker 1: said many of the children were miles from home and
Speaker 1: had no way to contact their parents as temperatures dropped.
Speaker 1: While some parents arrived quickly at the intersection to rescue
Speaker 1: their kids, other students were picked up by strangers. Desperate
Speaker 1: for a ride home. Wow, now here's where you get
Speaker 1: kind of the ultimate spin fail by Douglas County School District.
Speaker 1: We are in contact with the families of the forty
Speaker 1: students who were dropped off at a different area other
Speaker 1: than their regular bus stop after school. Wt you know what,
Speaker 1: dropped off at a different area other than the bus stop. No,
Speaker 1: when you're dropped off at your bus stop, it'scayes. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's your bus stop. You're going to go see mom,
Speaker 1: and you're going to go see Rover, and everything's good.
Speaker 1: They weren't dropped off anywhere according to this story. They
Speaker 1: were kicked off the bus in the middle and nowhere.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I would revisit that effort there, Douglas
Speaker 1: County School District. So what do you think should happen
Speaker 1: to this driver? What do you think happened here? What
Speaker 1: do you think really causes? Right, I know you're a
Speaker 1: great epidemiologist. What do you think the root causes of this?
Speaker 1: Because of what of the bus driver?
Speaker 2: Claim?
Speaker 1: The bus driver through the forty elementary school kids out
Speaker 1: into the cold in the middle of nowhere. It's like
Speaker 1: final straw. What I next to a cemetery?
Speaker 3: What I keep picturing is Billy Madison when they go
Speaker 3: on the road trip the Field Trip with Mss Veronica
Speaker 3: Vaughn and Billy Madison played by Adam Sandler, and the
Speaker 3: bus driver's played by Chris Farley, and he keep throwing
Speaker 3: stuff at him and he gets really upset and he
Speaker 3: sits there seething and simmering until his face turns really ready.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you kids. Yeah, and I think that's
Speaker 1: what happened here. Yeah, yeah, No, it'd be very interesting
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of it. I think one
Speaker 1: thing we can be sure of, there're gonna be lots
Speaker 1: and lots of criminal charges. I'm guessing you know, probably
Speaker 1: forty child abuse counts, whether it goes to kidnapping, etc.
Speaker 1: We just need to get all the facts out there, right,
Speaker 1: And this is one thing people Colorado should insist on
Speaker 1: the left is just confident they won't, which is we
Speaker 1: just need the full truth on all this crazy stuff,
Speaker 1: starting with Jenna Griswold, Jenna Griswold making the decision not
Speaker 1: to tell her own clerks. Those passwords have been out
Speaker 1: there for months and we're up. Yeah, yeah, but again,
Speaker 1: Paulus Wiser, the whole bunch of them, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: just to blatant cover up of that and makes you
Speaker 1: wonder why, right, hey, very expensive, This anti Christian bigotry
Speaker 1: very expensive, but the Left doesn't care because they're spending
Speaker 1: your money on it. Denver, is that a good piece?
Speaker 1: Colorado to pay one point five million in same sex
Speaker 1: winning website case, and you know Laurie Smith, she's been
Speaker 1: on this show, courageous woman who stood up to Colorado
Speaker 1: on this and said no, she does website design and
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to do it for same sex weddings
Speaker 1: because it violates her religious beliefs, and Colorado's trying to
Speaker 1: force me to do it. Guess what Supreme Court said.
Speaker 1: She won. Colorado lost, So Colorado had to write a
Speaker 1: check for one point five million to her attorneys, and
Speaker 1: it should have been more than that. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: those are just great, great lawyers doing a tremendous job
Speaker 1: for America. That's Alliance Defending Freedom. So you think that's
Speaker 1: going to discourage the Left from their attack on Christianity,
Speaker 1: Not at all, because they know. I mean, I'd ask you,
Speaker 1: no matter where you are on the political spectrum or
Speaker 1: any other spectrum, to just pause and think about this
Speaker 1: for a second. The Left knows that they cannot win
Speaker 1: in Colorado unless they convince a majority of people to
Speaker 1: violate their own faith, to set their faith aside, and
Speaker 1: to vote for people the left who are going to
Speaker 1: use that power to do things directly contrary to their faith.
Speaker 1: Now you would think, wow, that's going to make things
Speaker 1: really tough for the left, but it doesn't. In Colorado,
Speaker 1: they convince a whole lot of people to violate their
Speaker 1: own religious beliefs, put their faith aside in order to
Speaker 1: vote for candidates on the left. Why do you think
Speaker 1: they get away with that? I'd love your take on that.
Speaker 1: Eight five five four zero five eight two five five
Speaker 1: text d an five seven seven through nine. The day
Speaker 1: will come when they don't and then this state will
Speaker 1: turn around. But as of now, they do. And listen,
Speaker 1: they don't even try to hide it, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: Police came out the day after he won the first
Speaker 1: governor's race and said people need to leave their faith
Speaker 1: outside of the public square. Now do you think if
Speaker 1: Christians bringing their faith in the public square would help
Speaker 1: Police win? He'd say that no, And it has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the actual self identified faith of the officeholder.
Speaker 1: We have a ton of self identified Catholics and Christians
Speaker 1: who are far left, and they use their office to
Speaker 1: do things diametrically opposed to the court teachings of their faith.
Speaker 1: It just comes down to all these folks who put
Speaker 1: their political ideology and they're lost for power ahead of
Speaker 1: what they claim to be their true beliefs, and then
Speaker 1: they get a whole bunch of other people to go
Speaker 1: along with it. My own personal theory, but I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear yours is is that you have a whole
Speaker 1: lot of people who who just don't focus on it
Speaker 1: enough to get to the point of saying, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I know I'm voting against my religious beliefs
Speaker 1: when I'm going to do that anyway, I think you
Speaker 1: just get a whole lot of people who I just
Speaker 1: don't think it through that far, or they just are
Speaker 1: so turned off by Republicans that they can't even think
Speaker 1: of going there. Because I was there once. I mean,
Speaker 1: I was a Democrat for years, and I was at
Speaker 1: that point where I'd never even think of voting Republican.
Speaker 1: I never know, I just had the stereotype of Republicans.
Speaker 1: All they care about rich people and corporations and rich
Speaker 1: white people, and they don't care about working people. They
Speaker 1: don't care about the weekend defenses. That was my stereotype
Speaker 1: of the GOP, and so no matter how bad the
Speaker 1: Democrats might have got it, it made it almost it's
Speaker 1: impossible for me to think of voting for a Republican.
Speaker 1: And then that changed over time because the Democrats got
Speaker 1: so whack and got so wildly pro abortion. I had
Speaker 1: to become an unaffiliated and then eventually became a Republican
Speaker 1: because it was the only vehicle available to go out
Speaker 1: and fight for the innocent and help to protect the unborn.
Speaker 1: Then I actually met some Republicans other than Uncle Led
Speaker 1: God rest his soul. I didn't know a single Republican
Speaker 1: growing up, and there wasn't a single Republican in my
Speaker 1: whole family. And we had a big family, I mean
Speaker 1: some of them. Some of the cousins had like ten
Speaker 1: kids in the family and not one Republican anywhere in
Speaker 1: the whole tree except Uncle Ed. So then I started
Speaker 1: going to Republican stuff here and I found out, hey,
Speaker 1: you know why they care as much or more about
Speaker 1: you know, working people in the week and defenseless and
Speaker 1: people of color and their ideas actually worked better on
Speaker 1: all that, and they're cool people. So I just I
Speaker 1: made that journey. But realistically, we can't expect many of
Speaker 1: other people to make that journey, and because they're too busy,
Speaker 1: they got other stuff going on. I mean, I made
Speaker 1: it in part. I made the journey to away from
Speaker 1: Democrats because of my commitment to innocent life. And then
Speaker 1: you know, I had an interest in running for office
Speaker 1: and I knew I could never do that again as
Speaker 1: a Democrat because of their commitment to abortion. So took
Speaker 1: a peek at Republicans and realized there is an awful
Speaker 1: lot of good here. But the reality is we've got
Speaker 1: to convince a bunch of voters who are never going
Speaker 1: to get that in depth exposure to Republicans. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has opened the door, but those are a lot of
Speaker 1: Trump voters in this last election, and GOP is going
Speaker 1: to have to earn him in the midterm. Eight five
Speaker 1: five zero five eight two five five text d A
Speaker 1: N five seven seven through nine. When we come back.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of ground to coover. Going to
Speaker 1: take a call or to on the school bus driver
Speaker 1: who reportedly abandoned all these kids in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 1: and then I want to play some sound for you,
Speaker 1: among the most compelling sounds you will ever hear from
Speaker 1: the father of Lincoln Riley at the Senate and seeing
Speaker 1: of her murderer. Today, you're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 1: Are you going out for a marginalized person?
Speaker 4: Sarah McBride doesn't get a say in this as a
Speaker 4: biological man trying to force himself into women's spaces, and
Speaker 4: I'm not going to tolerate you have the radical laugh
Speaker 4: that are trying to erase women and erase women's rights.
Speaker 4: I'm the first woman to graduate from the Citadel, the
Speaker 4: Military College of South Carolina. Some guy in a skirt
Speaker 4: came by and said, no, that's my achievement. I'm going
Speaker 4: to be there and standing in the way and saying
Speaker 4: hell no.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: I love that from Nancy Mace. I absolutely love that.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that she's standing up. And I'm glad
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson is going to draw the line there no
Speaker 1: that this new congress person. If you're not familiar with
Speaker 1: the story, and I've got to get back to the
Speaker 1: phone lines on this amazing story out of Denver Denver
Speaker 1: Post story about the bus driver who left reportedly forty
Speaker 1: elementary school kids off in the middle of essentially nowhere,
Speaker 1: at least many of them miles from their stop. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a second. But yeah, this
Speaker 1: Sarah McBride, that that whole story is just elected to
Speaker 1: Congress from Delaware, ties to the Biden family. Is a
Speaker 1: male wearing a dress. From everything we can see, was
Speaker 1: student body president at American University as a male, and
Speaker 1: then about that time just started wearing a dress and
Speaker 1: announced identified as female. Fine, knock yourself out, but don't
Speaker 1: expect to walk into a woman's bathroom anywhere, including in
Speaker 1: the Capitol if you're a guy with a penis right?
Speaker 1: I mean part of the expression. Didn't mean to offend
Speaker 1: you there, Ryan, but I jumped.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, just don't what would make this Congress congress person
Speaker 1: McBride think that there would be a right to walk
Speaker 1: into one of the most intimate of private of places
Speaker 1: for a woman as someone with male organs? Yeah, why
Speaker 1: would you even want to? Yeah, but I'm glad my
Speaker 1: Johnson is drawing the line, and I'm glad that Mason
Speaker 1: is standing up. And that's no disrespect to anybody who
Speaker 1: happens to be trans. I've said it before. I know
Speaker 1: four or five trans folks. One is one of the
Speaker 1: people I respect most in life, and I tend and
Speaker 1: I don't mean an a condescending, oh so sympathetic way,
Speaker 1: but I really did my heart break for the trans people.
Speaker 1: I know, because I know it has to be a
Speaker 1: really tough life. But that doesn't mean all of the sudden,
Speaker 1: you know, we just abandoned women. And I think she's right.
Speaker 1: I think the Left is trying to erase women, which
Speaker 1: they won't even use the terminology right birthing person. And
Speaker 1: so what is that all about? And how can they
Speaker 1: claim to be the party of women when when the
Speaker 1: Left is constantly waging a war on women in so
Speaker 1: many different ways, starting with killing more than a half
Speaker 1: a million of from a year before birth. Let's go
Speaker 1: back to the phone lines, Anonymous, those are mean parents
Speaker 1: here on the dan kaplis. Sh'll welcome Hi, living the dream.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just calling about this bus driver that
Speaker 6: dropped off these forty kids in middle of nowhere. Yes,
Speaker 6: I'm a parent of four boys, young boys, all ten
Speaker 6: or under. I would be livid as a parent.
Speaker 1: You in jail.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would be in. Yeah, you're right, damn right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think is going on there?
Speaker 6: I mean the but I haven't seen the post it
Speaker 6: is say about how old this gentleman was. I mean I.
Speaker 1: Gender or age or anything. In fairness to them, it's
Speaker 1: a well researched story. I don't think those details were
Speaker 1: being made available by the district.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, not that it really matters, But I mean,
Speaker 6: you know, obviously you know old school bus drivers when
Speaker 6: I was a kid, you know, yeah here, you know,
Speaker 6: no reason for them to drop kids off in middle
Speaker 6: of nowhere. I mean, there's gotta be there's gotta be
Speaker 6: something going on.
Speaker 2: There with that that driver.
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, you know, I'm
Speaker 6: in I'm in law enforcement. My family's been in law enforcement,
Speaker 6: and I I I would have no trouble charging forty
Speaker 6: counts of reckless endangerment, forty counts of child abuse. I mean,
Speaker 6: that's that's just well.
Speaker 1: Thanks for your service. Would you go to kidnapping? You're
Speaker 1: taking them past their stop? Kids are screaming, right, you
Speaker 1: want to stop? You're going past my stuff?
Speaker 6: You got that as bone? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 6: I I would, I would go as far as I could. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's that's unacceptable. I mean, it's just and what what
Speaker 6: right mind do you think that that is anywhere close
Speaker 6: to being acceptable? And I mean that's yeah, I'm pretty
Speaker 6: sure where I'd come from, forty you know, you'd have
Speaker 6: fortyis of parents come after somebody?
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Well, I appreciate the call, man, And what
Speaker 1: a hero.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's gonna there's the HER's coming somewhere another.
Speaker 1: And is it four boys under ten that you have?
Speaker 1: That's that's so impressive because I'm trying to do the
Speaker 1: math in my head. At one point my mom, you know,
Speaker 1: at home, I had five, but I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: if they were all within if we were all within
Speaker 1: ten years, but any twins or just four separate boys born.
Speaker 6: Within okay, ten year old boys, and then it's a
Speaker 6: it's a blended family. And then so my wife had
Speaker 6: the ten year old and the eight year old, and
Speaker 6: then I have twin.
Speaker 1: Eyeh, that is so cool. Well, hey, congrats to you,
Speaker 1: and yeah, gotta love it. And they'll grow fast. Hey,
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Thank you, man. Let's go to Denver
Speaker 1: talk to Mike the Millennial. You're on the dan Kaplis,
Speaker 1: you'll welcome.
Speaker 7: And great to be with you again, can you.
Speaker 1: You can hear you? Fine, thank you marvelous.
Speaker 7: Okay, So what I was going to say about the
Speaker 7: situation with the bus driver. You know, there's multiple sides
Speaker 7: to every story. Their side, the bus driver's side in
Speaker 7: the truth, right, and you probably know that as as
Speaker 7: a trial attorney. But you know, I was going to say,
Speaker 7: you got to look at this, like, well, the bus
Speaker 7: driver said, these kids were acting up. I think you
Speaker 7: have to look at you know why most younger people
Speaker 7: are acting kind of up and acting hyper more in
Speaker 7: the first place.
Speaker 8: Uh, you got to.
Speaker 7: Look at the example that's being set. Uh where are
Speaker 7: they on. They're on you know, TikTok, Twitch and a
Speaker 7: lot of these social media personality personalities. Right, they have
Speaker 7: this attitude like just live for today, do whatever you want,
Speaker 7: act crazy, And these kids don't realize, you know, these
Speaker 7: these people on these sites are getting paid, they're actors,
Speaker 7: they're not This isn't their real persona. And so they
Speaker 7: they watch that and then they go on a bus
Speaker 7: and think, oh, let's just act crazy and then we'll
Speaker 7: just blame the bus driver. The bus driver gets you know,
Speaker 7: upset kicks them off, and so you got to look
Speaker 7: at every side of the story. In no way would
Speaker 7: I excuse what the bus driver did. But I think
Speaker 7: you got to take all of that in the consideration.
Speaker 1: Mike the millennial with a hot take. No, and I
Speaker 1: love I love people going on limb But Mike, I
Speaker 1: don't think you can blame the little victims here. They're
Speaker 1: elementary school kids. You can't throw them off the bus
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere in the cold to be
Speaker 1: picked up by stray. I don't think there's any defense here.
Speaker 1: It's the Taylor Swift song right in my defense I
Speaker 1: have none. But but if if that accused is listening,
Speaker 1: I think they want you, as is their lawyer. I
Speaker 1: think they want you now. Are you going to law school?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: No, I love the first person I've met who appreciate
Speaker 1: the call. Thank you for that? Mike. Interesting, what do
Speaker 1: you make of that? Ry you think Millennial's right? I
Speaker 1: blame the kids.
Speaker 3: They can account the whole story, but there isn't really
Speaker 3: a good excuse to end up where he ended up.
Speaker 1: The driver, I will respectfully submit there is no scenario,
Speaker 1: even hypothetically, where you can blame these little bitty elementary
Speaker 1: school victims here. But anyway, Hey, when we come back,
Speaker 1: just a warning, you're going to place some very powerful
Speaker 1: compelling sound from Lake and Riley's father at the sentencing
Speaker 1: today of the monster who killed her. You're on the
Speaker 1: dncaptain shows. Well, let's hope so forty of them, according
Speaker 1: to the Denver Post, got dropped off miles from home
Speaker 1: by a bus driver out in Castle Rock one station
Speaker 1: reporting that driver now relieved of their duties. That's all
Speaker 1: we know at this point, so we'll continue to follow
Speaker 1: that story. I do want to get to this sound,
Speaker 1: very compelling sound from Lake and Riley's father at the
Speaker 1: sentencing today of the monster who killed her. The monster
Speaker 1: led into this country unvetted by Harrison Biden, and then
Speaker 1: flown around a taxpayer expense, from city to city. I've
Speaker 1: got to get some callers in the the phones in Fuego.
Speaker 1: Let's go up to beautiful Loveland, Colorado. Talk to Eric.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kaplis.
Speaker 9: She'll welcome, Hey, Dan, thank you. Sure you like to
Speaker 9: engage in theorizing. And I think, as you say, like
Speaker 9: looking beyond the obvious, and I wanted to propose a
Speaker 9: little something to you about Matt Gaates. You talked about
Speaker 9: how the Justice Department investigated him and declined to charge him.
Speaker 5: Is that right?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 9: So you know the guy is kind of a walking
Speaker 9: billboard for Democrats or a walking anti Republican billboard. Maybe
Speaker 9: they didn't decline to charge him because they wanted him
Speaker 9: in Congress.
Speaker 1: Well, my friend, I mean the way Biden is politicized
Speaker 1: off the prosecution, anything's possible. Right. As I said, Gates
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been my choice, but in my mind, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump won, he should get his people. The more I'm
Speaker 1: seeing unfold, the more I think if Gates has a
Speaker 1: shot at the job, you might prove me wrong, You
Speaker 1: might actually do a really good job. But to me,
Speaker 1: what it comes down to is eric is there going
Speaker 1: to be proof that he committed these crimes? And regardless
Speaker 1: of whether DOJ decided to prosecute or not, if there
Speaker 1: is proof put on the table that he committed serious crimes,
Speaker 1: he should not be attorney general. But we have seen
Speaker 1: so many false allegations directed at Conservatives that I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody should be taking reports of an allegation at
Speaker 1: face value.
Speaker 9: No, But I bet you know this just feels like
Speaker 9: there is something to it. Well that's just my personal view,
Speaker 9: but it feels that way, and it's unseen. It's Hunter Biden,
Speaker 9: is you know, I was sharing. Other people make that
Speaker 9: comparison today and it might be acts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I come back to with Hunter Biden. We
Speaker 1: have absolute proof that he violated laws. And in terms
Speaker 1: of unseemly, listen that that's such a matter of individual taste.
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump one he gets to have his own people,
Speaker 1: and if he thinks Gates is the right one to
Speaker 1: carry out his vision, I think he deserves that chance.
Speaker 1: Whether again, whether I like Gates his act or not.
Speaker 1: But in terms of unseemly, my lord, I mean, you
Speaker 1: look at what the Democrats have done with their nominees
Speaker 1: and so and here's another approach, and thank you are
Speaker 1: a career intelligent call. I don't think any Democrat, not
Speaker 1: one single Democrat, has a right to criticize Matt Gates
Speaker 1: right now or say he's unqualified to serve unless that
Speaker 1: Democrat first agrees that Joe Biden cannot spend one more
Speaker 1: minute as president of the United States. How did we
Speaker 1: ever get to the point where a guy who clearly
Speaker 1: is not in his right mind is allowed to bring
Speaker 1: us to the brink of nuclear war. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: at a moment of madness right now. And listen, people
Speaker 1: can debate military policy and will this helps set up
Speaker 1: a piece YadA, YadA, YadA. But nobody can deny that
Speaker 1: it's a very provocative strike into Russia with these long
Speaker 1: range American missiles. But the fact that we're allowing somebody
Speaker 1: who clearly does not have cognitive capability to be making
Speaker 1: those decisions that could trigger nuclear war. No Democrat, no
Speaker 1: Democrat who is unwilling to come out and say that
Speaker 1: about Biden, should have a thing to say about Gates.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe and Lakewood. You're on the Dan
Speaker 1: Kaplis Show.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Hey, Dan, excellent show. At you. If I may,
Speaker 2: if I may, for five seconds, give a somewhat shout
Speaker 2: out to Ryan as a fellow Michigan or I like
Speaker 2: to say, I like to say Michigan is a good
Speaker 2: place to be from, as in a.
Speaker 1: Way from very true.
Speaker 2: Do you agree, Ryan?
Speaker 3: I do right now, But I don't know the politics
Speaker 3: there are even worse in Colorado.
Speaker 2: That's correct, That's correct, Okay, it's anyways to my pointing.
Speaker 2: H Yeah, Michigan. You go weeks on end and win
Speaker 2: right Ryan without seeing it.
Speaker 1: Months people call nine one one about the ball of
Speaker 1: fire in the sky.
Speaker 2: Terrible, terrible anyways, to the point to not as it
Speaker 2: was it Mike the millennium.
Speaker 1: Mike the millennial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And as I told your call screener, the most
Speaker 2: radio friendly description I can say is he's a fool.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, in some ways, I can see
Speaker 2: his point. If they're just totally unruly, out of control whatever,
Speaker 2: I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that.
Speaker 10: However, if that were the case, take him back to
Speaker 10: the school. You don't drop rop in the middle nowhere.
Speaker 10: There is no defense for anyone, for anyone to defend that.
Speaker 2: Like I said, the best I can say is they're
Speaker 2: a fool. I can say a lot more accurate.
Speaker 1: Words than appreciate the culture. I think Mike is just
Speaker 1: maybe hyper creative, but I appreciate his willingness to provide
Speaker 1: a counter argument, because I say there is zero even
Speaker 1: theoretical defense. You cannot even imagine a defense. We're talking
Speaker 1: about this Stenver Post story Douglas County School District bus
Speaker 1: driver allegedly dropped forty elementary school kids off miles from
Speaker 1: their homes and just left. Some of the kids had
Speaker 1: to be taken home by strangers. Yeah, there is no
Speaker 1: conceivable defense. Now you might have and I don't know
Speaker 1: the facts here, so I'm not specifying this driver you
Speaker 1: in theory, I guess could have an insanity defense. Those
Speaker 1: are tough defenses to pull off, but I don't think
Speaker 1: you can have any kind of like practical other kids
Speaker 1: were too rowdy type defense, as millennial Mike tried to float. Look, Adam,
Speaker 1: you're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Hello, good sir, a long time no talk.
Speaker 1: Glad you're here. You're on the eve of something great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know, first off, I wanted to say
Speaker 5: thank you for putting out Lincoln's father's statement because I
Speaker 5: was heart wrenching and needed to be heard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm going to do it again at five
Speaker 1: point fifty. And if there are little kids in the car, parents,
Speaker 1: that may just be too much for them, but I
Speaker 1: think it's very important the rest of us here, and
Speaker 1: I'll play it again at five fifty. Go ahead at him.
Speaker 5: It was beautiful to hear that and just question me.
Speaker 5: But what I was calling about was I wanted to
Speaker 5: talk about how much elections actually matter. I was about
Speaker 5: to order some of my favorite cigars from may Flower Cigars.
Speaker 5: Might know the gentleman Michael Noles, who's the proprietor. And
Speaker 5: now that we have that excise tax that just went
Speaker 5: into a tax cost more to buy the ciguards in taxes,
Speaker 5: So fifty dollars in figuards and it's a sixty seven
Speaker 5: dollars tax on top of wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, So what are you going to do?
Speaker 5: I'm going to open up per box stuff in Wyoming?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so you're going to get them out of Wyoming.
Speaker 1: How much less will it be?
Speaker 5: Sixty seven dollars?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Wait, no, I'm not following you. I mean I assume
Speaker 1: the text is lower in Wyoming. But where do you
Speaker 1: end up next?
Speaker 5: Well? No, it's the Colorado specific excise tax, right that
Speaker 5: we just voted into.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, but Adam wah, But what I hear
Speaker 1: you saying is that you're now going to buy him
Speaker 1: in Wyoming to avoid that tax. So what will the
Speaker 1: same cigars cost you in Wyoming? Fifty? Okay? Thank you
Speaker 1: for that?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 5: How uh and something one hundred and six? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Wow, that's wild. Hey, how how old is the wonderful
Speaker 1: bundle of joy in the background there?
Speaker 5: Oh he is two years wow and three months wow.
Speaker 1: That is awesome many and he's a terrorist and Jay
Speaker 1: well as he should be. Enjoy every moment it goes fast.
Speaker 1: I remember when Joe and Caroline were like that age
Speaker 1: and people said it'll go fast, and Amy and I
Speaker 1: looked at each other and yeah, right, because I mean,
Speaker 1: we were enjoying every minute. But we just thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna seem like normal time. And honestly, it seemed
Speaker 1: like a blink of an eye, seemed like a year,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they were eighteen and going
Speaker 1: off to college eight five five were zero five eight
Speaker 1: two five five the number come back to our fiery lines,
Speaker 1: And truly, how can anybody right now justify leaving Joe
Speaker 1: Biden in the White House one more minute? You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 11: Hey, are Darian to throw your sandwich? You're the bus driver,
Speaker 11: do it, do it, John, and you do that.
Speaker 1: I'll turn this damn bus around. That'll end your precious
Speaker 1: little real drip pretty damn quick. Ryant Shoeing's just historically
Speaker 1: great sense of humor. We've been talking about this wild story.
Speaker 1: It's in the Denver Post. Allegedly a school bus driver
Speaker 1: in Douglas County, sub bus driver and I'm not laughing
Speaker 1: at this at the kid's child in dangerment. It dropped
Speaker 1: forty elementary school kids off the cold miles from their homes,
Speaker 1: and so we've been talking about that a lot on
Speaker 1: the show today. I want to get to this sound
Speaker 1: first before going back to the phone lines and talking.
Speaker 1: I think to a school bus driver next. But please
Speaker 1: be forewarned if you have young kids in the car.
Speaker 1: This is sound of Lake and Riley's father, the wonderful
Speaker 1: young woman brutally murdered by somebody here illegally, who was
Speaker 1: led into the country by Harris Biden and unvetted. And
Speaker 1: so this is the father at the sentence scene today,
Speaker 1: and he's reading from Lake and Riley's journal, a letter
Speaker 1: she wrote shortly before she was murdered, a letter she
Speaker 1: wrote to the man that she was soon going to.
Speaker 8: Marry, an exceptionally full of promise.
Speaker 12: I was a shining beacon in the life of everyone
Speaker 12: that that ever came in contact with her.
Speaker 8: I'm so proud of Laken and the beautiful person. She was. Well,
Speaker 8: I could stand here and try to tell the world.
Speaker 12: The things that made her such a wonderful person, as
Speaker 12: well as in many things we have all been robbed
Speaker 12: and deprived of. I think one of her last journal entries,
Speaker 12: dated twelve seventeen twenty three says it best.
Speaker 8: So here we go to my future husband.
Speaker 12: As silly as I feel writing this, my old small
Speaker 12: group leader once recommended it. So here I am to
Speaker 12: my future husband.
Speaker 8: I want you to know that I'm thinking about you.
Speaker 12: I'm working every day to become the best wife I
Speaker 12: can be, working through my current relationships the best prepare
Speaker 12: me for hours and our kids.
Speaker 8: One day.
Speaker 12: I'm focusing on God what he defines is a faithful
Speaker 12: Christian life, and so that I can best embody those characteristics.
Speaker 12: I pray that you know that is with my full
Speaker 12: faith and trust in God, that I know this relationship
Speaker 12: has been hand crafted by Him. I pray that we
Speaker 12: continue to glorify the Lord, prioritize Him in every aspect
Speaker 12: of our lives, and raise our family our future family,
Speaker 12: to be God fearing Christians as well. I pray God
Speaker 12: is the center of our relationship, it as it is
Speaker 12: a gift from him. I thank him for you before
Speaker 12: I even know you, and can't wait to.
Speaker 8: Love you in the best way I know how for
Speaker 8: the rest of our lives. I pray you know and feel.
Speaker 12: The importance of my love and hope to for our
Speaker 12: relationship no matter what challenges we face. I pray that
Speaker 12: our trust in God and love for one another overrules
Speaker 12: the obstacle. May our relationship last forever, your future wife, lacoln.
Speaker 1: You know, and again, you want to say every one
Speaker 1: of these officeholders, Biden, Polis, Johnston, Bennett, Hick and look
Speaker 1: for every single left you should have to listen to
Speaker 1: that you want to say so they can understand the horror,
Speaker 1: the evil that is caused by their support for these
Speaker 1: open borders. You want to say that, right, But what
Speaker 1: we need to realize is that all of them, starting
Speaker 1: with Biden and Harris, all of them knew. They knew
Speaker 1: before this monster came in who killed Lake and Riley.
Speaker 1: They knew before all these monsters came in who raped
Speaker 1: and killed all these women, that they knew before they
Speaker 1: came in that this was going to happen. They didn't
Speaker 1: know that it would happen to Lake and Riley, in particular,
Speaker 1: or any of these other rape victims or murder victims
Speaker 1: in particular. But they knew that this was going to happen.
Speaker 1: When they allowed that many people in. There were going
Speaker 1: to be a certain percentage who were going to be vicious,
Speaker 1: violent criminals. There would be plenty of others who weren't,
Speaker 1: but there was going to be that percentage there were
Speaker 1: going to be these crimes. So they knew before they
Speaker 1: let them in, and they made the decision in advance
Speaker 1: that these rape victims, these murder victims, that was okay,
Speaker 1: that's an acceptable casualty rate to the Left to get
Speaker 1: what they want, which is all these new votes. Didn't
Speaker 1: mean they wanted Lake and Riley killed, but they were
Speaker 1: willing to allow large numbers of women to be assaulted,
Speaker 1: to be raped, to be killed, large numbers of other victims.
Speaker 1: They knew that was going to happen, and they were willing.
Speaker 1: They were willing to have that price paid by others
Speaker 1: so the Democrats could get what they wanted all these
Speaker 1: addition votes. Yeah, that that's the reality. That's the reality
Speaker 1: of the modern Left, and people need to realize that
Speaker 1: and realize how critical it is that they get voted
Speaker 1: out of office because they have sunk to that level. Ryan,
Speaker 1: on a lighter note, my friend thing you did, Oh no,
Speaker 1: that was yeah, And we'll follow up more on that story.
Speaker 1: We should know more tomorrow. You know a lot of
Speaker 1: Texters saying must be some kind of psychotic break, etc.
Speaker 1: Will pass information along as we get it. Textor Dan,
Speaker 1: by the way, were you a Democrat when you married Amy?
Speaker 1: That from Dave? If I remember right, I had left
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party because it had become so awful on
Speaker 1: abortion in national security. But I think it was like purgatory.
Speaker 1: I think I went to unaffiliated and then eventually went Republican.
Speaker 1: But I'll double check the record, and I'm sure Amy
Speaker 1: will know. Great job, Brian, Pray for Alexa. Thank you, Kelly.
Speaker 1: Join us tomorrow
