WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.120 There will be a lot to celebrate, at the very 2 00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:05.240 least throughout this Trump term, and let's hope far beyond 3 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:07.759 that lot of ground to cover this afternoon. Thanks for 4 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:12.080 being here, Lauren Pennington. A good piece in the Denver Post, 5 00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.199 a story I'm sure didn't see coming. You've probably heard 6 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:16.879 it already today, but I want to get your take 7 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.640 on it. What do you think cost this, What do 8 00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.239 you think really happened here? What do you think the 9 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.600 punishment should be? Castle Rock school bus driver accused of 10 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.399 abandoning forty elementary students miles from home. And then as 11 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.399 I read your parts of this story, you'll get to 12 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.439 just one of the most mind blowing, bending bureaucratic type 13 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.479 spin moves in human history, which is I think going 14 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.159 to fall very flat here. A castle Rock school bus 15 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.799 driver abandoned forty elementary schoolers Monday evening at a random 16 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:54.079 intersection miles away from their homes. Parents in school district 17 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.079 officials said. Parents told nine News that the driver, who 18 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.159 they claim was a substitute for the route that day, 19 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.880 forced their Clear Sky Elementary School students off the bus 20 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:10.959 near a cemetery at Wolfsonberger Road and Auburn Drive Douglas 21 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.120 County School District officials would not confirm if the driver 22 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.239 was a substitute. Editorial note, I saw in another story 23 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.000 a couple of minutes ago that it was confirmed that 24 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.599 he or she was, and that they were fired anyway. 25 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.640 The story goes on in a video posted by nine News, 26 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.359 students said the trouble started before they even left the 27 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.879 parking lot. One girl said the bus driver refused to 28 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.400 move until they all stopped talking, which caused them to 29 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.159 leave the school later than they normally would. Multiple parents 30 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.560 also said their children reported the driver threatening them and 31 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.040 using vulgar language. Quote, we felt like when he was 32 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.000 driving and missing our stops, like we were getting kidnapped, 33 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.439 Caitlin Zevidel, a ten year old student, told nine News. 34 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.599 The bus driver eventually stopped around five pm, about two 35 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.359 miles from the school on the corner of Wolfsenberger and Auburn, 36 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.400 and forced all forty kids out of the bus. Students 37 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.800 said many of the children were miles from home and 38 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.400 had no way to contact their parents as temperatures dropped. 39 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.680 While some parents arrived quickly at the intersection to rescue 40 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.479 their kids, other students were picked up by strangers. Desperate 41 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.879 for a ride home. Wow, now here's where you get 42 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.919 kind of the ultimate spin fail by Douglas County School District. 43 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.479 We are in contact with the families of the forty 44 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.400 students who were dropped off at a different area other 45 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.159 than their regular bus stop after school. Wt you know what, 46 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.599 dropped off at a different area other than the bus stop. No, 47 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.159 when you're dropped off at your bus stop, it'scayes. Okay, 48 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.520 that's your bus stop. You're going to go see mom, 49 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.719 and you're going to go see Rover, and everything's good. 50 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.319 They weren't dropped off anywhere according to this story. They 51 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.680 were kicked off the bus in the middle and nowhere. 52 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.719 So yeah, yeah, I would revisit that effort there, Douglas 53 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.360 County School District. So what do you think should happen 54 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.919 to this driver? What do you think happened here? What 55 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.280 do you think really causes? Right, I know you're a 56 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.879 great epidemiologist. What do you think the root causes of this? 57 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.319 Because of what of the bus driver? 58 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:22.680 Claim? 59 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.400 The bus driver through the forty elementary school kids out 60 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.039 into the cold in the middle of nowhere. It's like 61 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.919 final straw. What I next to a cemetery? 62 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.240 What I keep picturing is Billy Madison when they go 63 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:35.719 on the road trip the Field Trip with Mss Veronica 64 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.360 Vaughn and Billy Madison played by Adam Sandler, and the 65 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.039 bus driver's played by Chris Farley, and he keep throwing 66 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.039 stuff at him and he gets really upset and he 67 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.599 sits there seething and simmering until his face turns really ready. 68 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.560 I'm gonna show you kids. Yeah, and I think that's 69 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.240 what happened here. Yeah, yeah, No, it'd be very interesting 70 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:55.520 to get to the bottom of it. I think one 71 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.120 thing we can be sure of, there're gonna be lots 72 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.800 and lots of criminal charges. I'm guessing you know, probably 73 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.120 forty child abuse counts, whether it goes to kidnapping, etc. 74 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.759 We just need to get all the facts out there, right, 75 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.479 And this is one thing people Colorado should insist on 76 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.960 the left is just confident they won't, which is we 77 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.720 just need the full truth on all this crazy stuff, 78 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:22.199 starting with Jenna Griswold, Jenna Griswold making the decision not 79 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.000 to tell her own clerks. Those passwords have been out 80 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.199 there for months and we're up. Yeah, yeah, but again, 81 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.959 Paulus Wiser, the whole bunch of them, in my opinion, 82 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:33.839 just to blatant cover up of that and makes you 83 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:40.439 wonder why, right, hey, very expensive, This anti Christian bigotry 84 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.040 very expensive, but the Left doesn't care because they're spending 85 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.040 your money on it. Denver, is that a good piece? 86 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.600 Colorado to pay one point five million in same sex 87 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.920 winning website case, and you know Laurie Smith, she's been 88 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.079 on this show, courageous woman who stood up to Colorado 89 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.120 on this and said no, she does website design and 90 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.079 she doesn't want to do it for same sex weddings 91 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.040 because it violates her religious beliefs, and Colorado's trying to 92 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.720 force me to do it. Guess what Supreme Court said. 93 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.519 She won. Colorado lost, So Colorado had to write a 94 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.199 check for one point five million to her attorneys, and 95 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:14.839 it should have been more than that. In my opinion, 96 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.079 those are just great, great lawyers doing a tremendous job 97 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.560 for America. That's Alliance Defending Freedom. So you think that's 98 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.800 going to discourage the Left from their attack on Christianity, 99 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.800 Not at all, because they know. I mean, I'd ask you, 100 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.720 no matter where you are on the political spectrum or 101 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.040 any other spectrum, to just pause and think about this 102 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.279 for a second. The Left knows that they cannot win 103 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.680 in Colorado unless they convince a majority of people to 104 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:47.759 violate their own faith, to set their faith aside, and 105 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.439 to vote for people the left who are going to 106 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.319 use that power to do things directly contrary to their faith. 107 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.040 Now you would think, wow, that's going to make things 108 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.800 really tough for the left, but it doesn't. In Colorado, 109 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.120 they convince a whole lot of people to violate their 110 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.639 own religious beliefs, put their faith aside in order to 111 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.680 vote for candidates on the left. Why do you think 112 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.399 they get away with that? I'd love your take on that. 113 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.600 Eight five five four zero five eight two five five 114 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.720 text d an five seven seven through nine. The day 115 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.480 will come when they don't and then this state will 116 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.759 turn around. But as of now, they do. And listen, 117 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.199 they don't even try to hide it, right. I mean, 118 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.920 Police came out the day after he won the first 119 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.519 governor's race and said people need to leave their faith 120 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.040 outside of the public square. Now do you think if 121 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.480 Christians bringing their faith in the public square would help 122 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.879 Police win? He'd say that no, And it has nothing 123 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.199 to do with the actual self identified faith of the officeholder. 124 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.680 We have a ton of self identified Catholics and Christians 125 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.360 who are far left, and they use their office to 126 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.399 do things diametrically opposed to the court teachings of their faith. 127 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.600 It just comes down to all these folks who put 128 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:04.279 their political ideology and they're lost for power ahead of 129 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.680 what they claim to be their true beliefs, and then 130 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:08.079 they get a whole bunch of other people to go 131 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.959 along with it. My own personal theory, but I'd love 132 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.639 to hear yours is is that you have a whole 133 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.759 lot of people who who just don't focus on it 134 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.680 enough to get to the point of saying, Okay, yeah, 135 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.160 you know, I know I'm voting against my religious beliefs 136 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.079 when I'm going to do that anyway, I think you 137 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.079 just get a whole lot of people who I just 138 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.079 don't think it through that far, or they just are 139 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.000 so turned off by Republicans that they can't even think 140 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.519 of going there. Because I was there once. I mean, 141 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.160 I was a Democrat for years, and I was at 142 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.120 that point where I'd never even think of voting Republican. 143 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.399 I never know, I just had the stereotype of Republicans. 144 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.560 All they care about rich people and corporations and rich 145 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.160 white people, and they don't care about working people. They 146 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.040 don't care about the weekend defenses. That was my stereotype 147 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.800 of the GOP, and so no matter how bad the 148 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.160 Democrats might have got it, it made it almost it's 149 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.639 impossible for me to think of voting for a Republican. 150 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.800 And then that changed over time because the Democrats got 151 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.759 so whack and got so wildly pro abortion. I had 152 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.680 to become an unaffiliated and then eventually became a Republican 153 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.439 because it was the only vehicle available to go out 154 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.240 and fight for the innocent and help to protect the unborn. 155 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.199 Then I actually met some Republicans other than Uncle Led 156 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.199 God rest his soul. I didn't know a single Republican 157 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.959 growing up, and there wasn't a single Republican in my 158 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:30.879 whole family. And we had a big family, I mean 159 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.720 some of them. Some of the cousins had like ten 160 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.600 kids in the family and not one Republican anywhere in 161 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.720 the whole tree except Uncle Ed. So then I started 162 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.200 going to Republican stuff here and I found out, hey, 163 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.440 you know why they care as much or more about 164 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.840 you know, working people in the week and defenseless and 165 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:53.480 people of color and their ideas actually worked better on 166 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:57.440 all that, and they're cool people. So I just I 167 00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.840 made that journey. But realistically, we can't expect many of 168 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.519 other people to make that journey, and because they're too busy, 169 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.519 they got other stuff going on. I mean, I made 170 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.639 it in part. I made the journey to away from 171 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.440 Democrats because of my commitment to innocent life. And then 172 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.120 you know, I had an interest in running for office 173 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.200 and I knew I could never do that again as 174 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.399 a Democrat because of their commitment to abortion. So took 175 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.039 a peek at Republicans and realized there is an awful 176 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.840 lot of good here. But the reality is we've got 177 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.120 to convince a bunch of voters who are never going 178 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.759 to get that in depth exposure to Republicans. Donald Trump 179 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.840 has opened the door, but those are a lot of 180 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.320 Trump voters in this last election, and GOP is going 181 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.360 to have to earn him in the midterm. Eight five 182 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.799 five zero five eight two five five text d A 183 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.000 N five seven seven through nine. When we come back. 184 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.200 We have a lot of ground to coover. Going to 185 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.399 take a call or to on the school bus driver 186 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:51.639 who reportedly abandoned all these kids in the middle of nowhere, 187 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.200 and then I want to play some sound for you, 188 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.080 among the most compelling sounds you will ever hear from 189 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.399 the father of Lincoln Riley at the Senate and seeing 190 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.919 of her murderer. Today, you're on the Dan Kapla show. 191 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.639 Are you going out for a marginalized person? 192 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:12.960 Sarah McBride doesn't get a say in this as a 193 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.840 biological man trying to force himself into women's spaces, and 194 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.799 I'm not going to tolerate you have the radical laugh 195 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.720 that are trying to erase women and erase women's rights. 196 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.960 I'm the first woman to graduate from the Citadel, the 197 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.720 Military College of South Carolina. Some guy in a skirt 198 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.240 came by and said, no, that's my achievement. I'm going 199 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.039 to be there and standing in the way and saying 200 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:31.080 hell no. 201 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:31.240 Oh. 202 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.919 I love that from Nancy Mace.

And I'm glad 204 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.639 Mike Johnson is going to draw the line there no 205 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.960 that this new congress person. If you're not familiar with 206 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.519 the story, and I've got to get back to the 207 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.799 phone lines on this amazing story out of Denver Denver 208 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.960 Post story about the bus driver who left reportedly forty 209 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.279 elementary school kids off in the middle of essentially nowhere, 210 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.519 at least many of them miles from their stop. Anyway, 211 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.320 we'll get to that in a second. But yeah, this 212 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.000 Sarah McBride, that that whole story is just elected to 213 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.519 Congress from Delaware, ties to the Biden family. Is a 214 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.360 male wearing a dress. From everything we can see, was 215 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.720 student body president at American University as a male, and 216 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.240 then about that time just started wearing a dress and 217 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.799 announced identified as female. Fine, knock yourself out, but don't 218 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:29.000 expect to walk into a woman's bathroom anywhere, including in 219 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:31.879 the Capitol if you're a guy with a penis right? 220 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.840 I mean part of the expression. Didn't mean to offend 221 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.799 you there, Ryan, but I jumped. 222 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:37.200 Yeah. 223 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.080 Now, just don't what would make this Congress congress person 224 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:47.159 McBride think that there would be a right to walk 225 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:51.679 into one of the most intimate of private of places 226 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:56.919 for a woman as someone with male organs? Yeah, why 227 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.879 would you even want to? Yeah, but I'm glad my 228 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.679 Johnson is drawing the line, and I'm glad that Mason 229 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.879 is standing up. And that's no disrespect to anybody who 230 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.320 happens to be trans. I've said it before. I know 231 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.399 four or five trans folks. One is one of the 232 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.600 people I respect most in life, and I tend and 233 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.399 I don't mean an a condescending, oh so sympathetic way, 234 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.879 but I really did my heart break for the trans people. 235 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.120 I know, because I know it has to be a 236 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.720 really tough life. But that doesn't mean all of the sudden, 237 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.639 you know, we just abandoned women. And I think she's right. 238 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.480 I think the Left is trying to erase women, which 239 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.960 they won't even use the terminology right birthing person. And 240 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.600 so what is that all about? And how can they 241 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.480 claim to be the party of women when when the 242 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.720 Left is constantly waging a war on women in so 243 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.799 many different ways, starting with killing more than a half 244 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.960 a million of from a year before birth. Let's go 245 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.639 back to the phone lines, Anonymous, those are mean parents 246 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:57.320 here on the dan kaplis.

I don't think those details were 259 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.399 being made available by the district. 260 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.080 Yeah, I mean, not that it really matters, But I mean, 261 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.679 you know, obviously you know old school bus drivers when 262 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.039 I was a kid, you know, yeah here, you know, 263 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:55.240 no reason for them to drop kids off in middle 264 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.480 of nowhere.

At one point my mom, you know, 288 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.519 at home, I had five, but I'm trying to remember 289 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:21.279 if they were all within if we were all within 290 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:26.159 ten years, but any twins or just four separate boys born. 291 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:30.120 Within okay, ten year old boys, and then it's a 292 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.200 it's a blended family.

Let's go to Denver 298 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.440 talk to Mike the Millennial. You're on the dan Kaplis, 299 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:49.320 you'll welcome. 300 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.200 And great to be with you again, can you. 301 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.519 You can hear you? Fine, thank you marvelous. 302 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.080 Okay, So what I was going to say about the 303 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:01.240 situation with the bus driver. You know, there's multiple sides 304 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.519 to every story. Their side, the bus driver's side in 305 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:06.759 the truth, right, and you probably know that as as 306 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.399 a trial attorney. But you know, I was going to say, 307 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.360 you got to look at this, like, well, the bus 308 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.240 driver said, these kids were acting up. I think you 309 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.360 have to look at you know why most younger people 310 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.840 are acting kind of up and acting hyper more in 311 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.559 the first place. 312 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:23.720 Uh, you got to. 313 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.639 Look at the example that's being set. Uh where are 314 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.840 they on. They're on you know, TikTok, Twitch and a 315 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:34.080 lot of these social media personality personalities. Right, they have 316 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.159 this attitude like just live for today, do whatever you want, 317 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.799 act crazy, And these kids don't realize, you know, these 318 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.559 these people on these sites are getting paid, they're actors, 319 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.960 they're not This isn't their real persona. And so they 320 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.759 they watch that and then they go on a bus 321 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.080 and think, oh, let's just act crazy and then we'll 322 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.799 just blame the bus driver. The bus driver gets you know, 323 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.440 upset kicks them off, and so you got to look 324 00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.279 at every side of the story. In no way would 325 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.440 I excuse what the bus driver did. But I think 326 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.519 you got to take all of that in the consideration. 327 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.799 Mike the millennial with a hot take. No, and I 328 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.279 love I love people going on limb But Mike, I 329 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.039 don't think you can blame the little victims here. They're 330 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.880 elementary school kids. You can't throw them off the bus 331 00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:18.880 in the middle of nowhere in the cold to be 332 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.160 picked up by stray. I don't think there's any defense here. 333 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.039 It's the Taylor Swift song right in my defense I 334 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.839 have none. But but if if that accused is listening, 335 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.400 I think they want you, as is their lawyer. I 336 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.640 think they want you now. Are you going to law school? 337 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:37.240 No? 338 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:44.480 No, I love the first person I've met who appreciate 339 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:46.880 the call. Thank you for that? Mike. Interesting, what do 340 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:52.200 you make of that? Ry you think Millennial's right? I 341 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.920 blame the kids. 342 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.200 They can account the whole story, but there isn't really 343 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.839 a good excuse to end up where he ended up. 344 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.000 The driver, I will respectfully submit there is no scenario, 345 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:05.119 even hypothetically, where you can blame these little bitty elementary 346 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:09.000 school victims here. But anyway, Hey, when we come back, 347 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:12.000 just a warning, you're going to place some very powerful 348 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.079 compelling sound from Lake and Riley's father at the sentencing 349 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.039 today of the monster who killed her. You're on the 350 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:32.240 dncaptain shows. Well, let's hope so forty of them, according 351 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.759 to the Denver Post, got dropped off miles from home 352 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.839 by a bus driver out in Castle Rock one station 353 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:42.119 reporting that driver now relieved of their duties. That's all 354 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.000 we know at this point, so we'll continue to follow 355 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.599 that story. I do want to get to this sound, 356 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:50.799 very compelling sound from Lake and Riley's father at the 357 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.839 sentencing today of the monster who killed her. The monster 358 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.480 led into this country unvetted by Harrison Biden, and then 359 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:01.920 flown around a taxpayer expense, from city to city. I've 360 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.920 got to get some callers in the the phones in Fuego. 361 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:08.599 Let's go up to beautiful Loveland, Colorado. Talk to Eric. 362 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:09.640 You're on the Dan Kaplis. 363 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:15.400 She'll welcome, Hey, Dan, thank you. Sure you like to 364 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:19.839 engage in theorizing. And I think, as you say, like 365 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:23.720 looking beyond the obvious, and I wanted to propose a 366 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:28.160 little something to you about Matt Gaates. You talked about 367 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:35.559 how the Justice Department investigated him and declined to charge him. 368 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:36.559 Is that right? 369 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:37.119 Yes? 370 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:42.799 So you know the guy is kind of a walking 371 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:49.599 billboard for Democrats or a walking anti Republican billboard. Maybe 372 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:53.039 they didn't decline to charge him because they wanted him 373 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:54.079 in Congress. 374 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:59.160 Well, my friend, I mean the way Biden is politicized 375 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:05.160 off the prosecution, anything's possible. Right. As I said, Gates 376 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:08.640 wouldn't have been my choice, but in my mind, Donald 377 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.039 Trump won, he should get his people. The more I'm 378 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.200 seeing unfold, the more I think if Gates has a 379 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:15.839 shot at the job, you might prove me wrong, You 380 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.119 might actually do a really good job. But to me, 381 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.440 what it comes down to is eric is there going 382 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.039 to be proof that he committed these crimes? And regardless 383 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:29.920 of whether DOJ decided to prosecute or not, if there 384 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.559 is proof put on the table that he committed serious crimes, 385 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.599 he should not be attorney general. But we have seen 386 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:42.519 so many false allegations directed at Conservatives that I don't 387 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:46.400 think anybody should be taking reports of an allegation at 388 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:47.119 face value. 389 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.039 No, But I bet you know this just feels like 390 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.640 there is something to it. Well that's just my personal view, 391 00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:01.319 but it feels that way, and it's unseen. It's Hunter Biden, 392 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.000 is you know, I was sharing. Other people make that 393 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.960 comparison today and it might be acts. 394 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.720 Yeah, but I come back to with Hunter Biden. We 395 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:14.079 have absolute proof that he violated laws. And in terms 396 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:18.200 of unseemly, listen that that's such a matter of individual taste. 397 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.720 And Donald Trump one he gets to have his own people, 398 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.279 and if he thinks Gates is the right one to 399 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:25.559 carry out his vision, I think he deserves that chance. 400 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.200 Whether again, whether I like Gates his act or not. 401 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.079
