Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to

Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: In the American way is we protect children, right, all children.
Speaker 1: All children, whether they're children of Democrats or Republicans, aren't affiliated.
Speaker 1: Whether they're black or brown or white, their children, it's
Speaker 1: a sacred trust. We protect them all. And that's just
Speaker 1: a matter of natural law that that's just a matter
Speaker 1: of what good people do, whether they have an ounce
Speaker 1: of faith or not, no matter who they are. But
Speaker 1: we now have a modern Democratic party is separated from
Speaker 1: the modern Democrat, the modern Democratic Party which just mistreats
Speaker 1: and abuses children so often in the most awful of ways.
Speaker 1: And we have another example of that. We could talk
Speaker 1: about the why, but let's start with the what. And
Speaker 1: this most recent example is equally sickening. Let's go to
Speaker 1: a great champion for justice. That would be George Brockler,
Speaker 1: the DA in the twenty third George, I don't think
Speaker 1: I can trademark that. I think it's already taken But
Speaker 1: how you doing, my friend, the.
Speaker 3: East Man, busy as a beaver, between trying to just
Speaker 3: stay on top of the new stuff that shows up,
Speaker 3: trying to deal with the things like this, like going
Speaker 3: to the Capitol and the sole sucking experience is testifying
Speaker 3: before those committees and trying to deal with the tragedy
Speaker 3: that is the shooting that took place at main event.
Speaker 4: It's busy.
Speaker 3: It's not any more busy than anybody else. I don't
Speaker 3: want to be heard to be complaining. It's just busy.
Speaker 1: Well, when you're in the crime fighting business, there's always
Speaker 1: plenty of it. But glad you're on that wall, my friends.
Speaker 1: So this one's kind of hard to even fathom. Tell folks,
Speaker 1: if you would, about how we end up in a
Speaker 1: situation in Colorado where you can have a child rapist
Speaker 1: get probation.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Back in the day when we decided to go
Speaker 3: towards indeterminate sentences for sex offenders, and it was the
Speaker 3: idea that, and this has been born out by evidence.
Speaker 3: You just can't rehabilitate certain sex offenders. They're just unrehabilitatable.
Speaker 3: It's just a part of the DNA of who they are.
Speaker 3: So you put them in a situation where we're not
Speaker 3: even going to consider cutting you loose from productions till
Speaker 3: you complete offense specific evaluations and training and all this
Speaker 3: other stuff and anything we can do to try to
Speaker 3: minimize your risk in the future. Along the way, they
Speaker 3: made a mistake and they left open the possibility of
Speaker 3: probation for someone who rapes the child but only rapes
Speaker 3: them once. And when I say raped, I mean it
Speaker 3: could be it could be anybody. It could be someone
Speaker 3: in a position of trust, clergy, teacher, coaches, fill in
Speaker 3: the blank, someone you trust your kids with. And as
Speaker 3: long as they only rape that child once, their probation eligible.
Speaker 3: Now get this, if they raped ten fifteen children, as
Speaker 3: long as.
Speaker 4: They only do it a lot, no, how could that
Speaker 4: be ever find its way into laws.
Speaker 3: It's a mistake that was made when we went back
Speaker 3: and did indetermined sensing, and I think in part people thought, well,
Speaker 3: that's not going to happen. No one's going to do that.
Speaker 3: I mean. The interesting thing is that the way the
Speaker 3: laws set up now is if you rape the same
Speaker 3: child twice, then it's called a pattern, and that pattern
Speaker 3: means you have to go to prison. But if you
Speaker 3: only do it once, no matter how many kids it is.
Speaker 3: And that becomes the challenge when you prosecute these cases.
Speaker 3: Is one the age at which kids outcry, they don't
Speaker 3: go run and tell someone right a right, it's usually
Speaker 3: years removed, and then being able to prove pattern is very,
Speaker 3: very challenging. And we have cases right now. You've talked
Speaker 3: about these on air. You've got teachers who are I
Speaker 3: think they look at our kids in schools as a
Speaker 3: romantic opportunity and not as an obligation to teach them
Speaker 3: and protect them from harm. And so you have these
Speaker 3: grooming teachers out there you've talked about on the rate
Speaker 3: of the vent everywhere, and they end up having sexual
Speaker 3: relations with kids that are under the age of eighteen,
Speaker 3: which would make them eligible for discharge as sexual assault
Speaker 3: of a child. But unless we can prove it happened
Speaker 3: more than once, they're probation eligible.
Speaker 4: That just seems absolutely insane.
Speaker 1: Well, what will it take to close that? Is anybody
Speaker 1: trying to close it?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's a great question. You have to
Speaker 3: in a bipartisan effort. By the way, Regina English out
Speaker 3: of the Springs and Brandy Bradley out of my own
Speaker 3: Douglas County have taken.
Speaker 4: Up this cause.
Speaker 3: They offered a very simple, straightforward bill that just said, listen,
Speaker 3: if you're convicted of raping a kid, you have to
Speaker 3: serve the minimum period of time in the sentencing range,
Speaker 3: at least in prison. And you would think that that
Speaker 3: was a no brainer, but it turned out there's not
Speaker 3: a lot of brain work going on in the House
Speaker 3: Judiciary Pimoty because they killed it.
Speaker 1: George w there is this pro child rapist lobby coming
Speaker 1: from what.
Speaker 4: Underlies all that.
Speaker 3: It's hard for me to discern if this is in
Speaker 3: favor of child rapists or the folks that have committed
Speaker 3: themselves to the idea that all incarceration is bad. And
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. On the committee during the
Speaker 3: comments that there was a member of the House Larcia,
Speaker 3: who said prison is torture. I will never agree to
Speaker 3: send someone to prison. And it's like, well, that means
Speaker 3: murderers too, you know what I mean, and violent domestic
Speaker 3: abusers and repeat defenders. And I think that's part of it.
Speaker 3: And I think the other part of this thing, too
Speaker 3: is how they view our kids is very different than
Speaker 3: how we view our kids. In you touch on these
Speaker 3: issues every day. Well, it's not just the idea that one.
Speaker 3: We've made it so easy to end the child's life
Speaker 3: and to manipulate that shot. So we allow abortion up
Speaker 3: until the moment the baby's able to come out and
Speaker 3: say hi, and then once that baby is born, we
Speaker 3: devalue parental involvement. We treat the child like, hey, you
Speaker 3: got to get parental permission to get an aspirin, But
Speaker 3: if you want to lop off your body parts, not
Speaker 3: only are we going to keep your parents from knowing
Speaker 3: you want to do that, but we're now going to
Speaker 3: set up a law that punishes anybody, including an employer,
Speaker 3: who dares to call you the gender that you were
Speaker 3: born with. We do these weird things with them, and
Speaker 3: then along the way, we've created a scenario where we've
Speaker 3: decided that, well, maybe we don't want to punish people
Speaker 3: that harm the kids. And that's what we see here.
Speaker 1: I think you nailed it, and I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: your typical democrat. I'm talking about the left, the secular
Speaker 1: left that controls the party. It views children as property.
Speaker 1: You know, there's similar mentality to plantation owners. It views
Speaker 1: children as property. It used children as objects. You know,
Speaker 1: objects for their political use, objects for their convenience, et cetera.
Speaker 4: And that's why when you stop and think about it,
Speaker 4: and I know you have the same.
Speaker 1: Quote logic, fatally flawed logic that the left applies to
Speaker 1: justify abortion to the moment of delivery, that same fatally
Speaker 1: flawed logic applies after delivery.
Speaker 4: So that's their attitude toward children.
Speaker 1: Because if you accept their reasoning and you believe they're
Speaker 1: justified to employ that reasoning to kill that child ten
Speaker 1: seconds before it moves out of the mother into the world,
Speaker 1: well they'd be allowed to use that same quote logic
Speaker 1: to kill the child after birth.
Speaker 4: It's true.
Speaker 3: And I also think that if you look at the
Speaker 3: composition of the House Judiciary Committee, not a lot of
Speaker 3: parents on there, and I think it makes it easier
Speaker 3: for them to think of kids and sort of this
Speaker 3: third party, abstract way of parenting. And so you have
Speaker 3: them create a situation where if one parent is pregnant,
Speaker 3: that parent alone gets to decide whether that child lives
Speaker 3: or dies. The other parent's opinion is wholly, But once
Speaker 3: that child is born, if one parent decides, well, I
Speaker 3: think little Sally is really little Eddie and the other
Speaker 3: parent disagrees, the law will step in to strip the
Speaker 3: other parent right of their ability to be a parent
Speaker 3: of that child. If we're in a bizarre world here,
Speaker 3: there are dystopian novels out there that don't even touch
Speaker 3: what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Right, And it seems to me that may be the
Speaker 1: first case in American history where the US Supreme Court
Speaker 1: justice is don't even take the bench for the case.
Speaker 1: They just send their clerks out there to sit in
Speaker 1: the courtroom, right, because it's so obviously unconstitutional.
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, so you talk about freedom of speech, religious
Speaker 4: liberty of a parent, Now you're going to be if
Speaker 4: you're a parent.
Speaker 1: Who believes that if your son has a penis, he's
Speaker 1: a boy, that you are now going to be stripped
Speaker 1: of your freedom of.
Speaker 4: Speech to say that to the child under threat of
Speaker 4: losing custody of that child.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, and wow, if we can shift for
Speaker 1: the last thirty seconds to something much more enjoyable but
Speaker 1: much less important. I just have tremendous respect for the
Speaker 1: Cronkys today in letting Michael Malone go good guy one
Speaker 1: for Denver, great coach, but obviously the team wasn't responding
Speaker 1: to him.
Speaker 4: Anymore.
Speaker 1: And what do you make of that just coming out
Speaker 1: and saying, Okay, it's not working. I think it shows
Speaker 1: tremendous respect for the fans that that, hey, we're just
Speaker 1: not going to urinate away the rest of the year.
Speaker 3: Well, it was gutsy. I didn't see it coming. I
Speaker 3: really didn't, but I did worry. Hey, we're heading, we're
Speaker 3: limping into the postseason. You can't do that with a
Speaker 3: doc hit on the Lamplers and a certain teams in
Speaker 3: the West. I mean, it took guts to do that,
Speaker 3: but you hit the nail on the head. And that's
Speaker 3: exactly what I thought was. Look, we have the greatest
Speaker 3: basketball player on the planet Earth, year in and year
Speaker 3: out for the last however many years, and we only
Speaker 3: have one ring to point to waste. This is a
Speaker 3: guy who could bring you more rings if we just
Speaker 3: do the right things. And we're at a position right
Speaker 3: now where we're not out of the hunt by any means,
Speaker 3: but if we're going to make a change and try
Speaker 3: to make a run at that ring right now, let's
Speaker 3: do it right now. Let's get that trophy.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So I respect him for that, but hey,
Speaker 4: appreciate you being with us.
Speaker 1: George. Oh well, hey, I forgot I was going to
Speaker 1: ask you this. You're gonna run for attorney general?
Speaker 3: No, listen, I told I think I told Ryan this. Look,
Speaker 3: it's enough to have lost to Phil Wiser. I completely
Speaker 3: unqualified for the job. If I were to lose to
Speaker 3: Jenna Griswold, I'd have to volunteer to go and want
Speaker 3: of Elon's rockets to Mars because I could not face
Speaker 3: some human being on the planet. I just couldn't do it.
Speaker 4: Come friend, ye all right, man, appreciate the time, Take
Speaker 4: care anytime.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 1: That is a great George Brouckler. You're on the Dankaplas Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 4: What a time to be alive. I mean, think about
Speaker 4: what we're living through right now.
Speaker 1: We're living through one of the most bold economic moves
Speaker 1: by any president in American history. Because Donald Trump could
Speaker 1: have just skated right after he overcame the unimaginable right
Speaker 1: to become president and he slayed all those dragons and
Speaker 1: he defeated all those bad guys and gales and he
Speaker 1: comes in office. He could have just cruised at that point,
Speaker 1: and he could have had us on a sugar high,
Speaker 1: spending our grandkids money just to keep the cash flowing
Speaker 1: and nobody complaining. But instead he says, wait a second,
Speaker 1: Wait a second. You know, the working people of America
Speaker 1: deserve better. The working people of America saved Donald Trump
Speaker 1: for jail. And never forget it, the Democratic Party wanted
Speaker 1: Trump to die in jail, humiliated, broke his family, broke
Speaker 1: his companies, broke, that's what they had in store. And
Speaker 1: it's the working people of America who saved Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and saved America. And so Trump now wants to make
Speaker 1: sure work people get a fair shake, which they haven't
Speaker 1: had for a very long time in this country, primarily
Speaker 1: because of Democrats, but not exclusively. So Trump now is
Speaker 1: ready to do something really big and bold and courageous
Speaker 1: and creative. He's not trying to put in place tariffs
Speaker 1: that then take five years to really get a toe
Speaker 1: hold and take effect. No, obviously, he's using tariffs to
Speaker 1: gain leverage to cut much better deals that will benefit
Speaker 1: working people and benefit.
Speaker 4: All of America.
Speaker 1: And it's courageous because it takes short term political pain.
Speaker 1: It's brilliant because it is going to work. And the
Speaker 1: only question is how quickly it's going to work. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tough in the meantime. Right if you have a
Speaker 1: four oh one k you own stocks. Otherwise it's a
Speaker 1: bumpy And with the showdown with China now starting at
Speaker 1: midnight tonight, this could go on a while, and this
Speaker 1: could start to have some effect on.
Speaker 4: The broader economy. But you know this from your own life.
Speaker 1: That there's never been any great wrong that's been righted,
Speaker 1: any big problem that's been solved, anything big that's been
Speaker 1: done without some pain, which is how America got to
Speaker 1: this point because politicians on both sides didn't want to
Speaker 1: endure any pain. But now Trump is willing to do that,
Speaker 1: to do a reset. So we're living through the middle
Speaker 1: of it, and I say, thank god, thank god he's
Speaker 1: willing to do it. He's done it extremely well, not perfectly,
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, but extremely well, and the whole
Speaker 1: country's going to benefit. And then it's really going to
Speaker 1: get fun, right Ryan, because when that day comes, and
Speaker 1: I'm not saying a one day five percent pop up
Speaker 1: in the market is that day, it's going to have
Speaker 1: ups and downs and ups and downs within days. And
Speaker 1: I think there could well be some bad days coming.
Speaker 1: But when it finally settles and the deals are done
Speaker 1: and the landscape has been reshaped, that's rocket fuel, baby.
Speaker 1: Then just watch it take off. And that's going to
Speaker 1: be just in time for heading into midterm season. And
Speaker 1: the Democrats. He goes back to where I started all this,
Speaker 1: and we'll turn it over to calls and texts. But
Speaker 1: the Democrats are panicking now, not because they think tariffs
Speaker 1: are going to fail, but because they're afraid they're going
Speaker 1: to succeed.
Speaker 4: And they're right, they're going to succeed. They're going to succeed.
Speaker 1: As leverage that allows these deals to be cut in
Speaker 1: America to take off to another level.
Speaker 4: Three at three someone three eight.
Speaker 1: Two five five text d an five seven seven three
Speaker 1: nine on the sports front. Not a sports show, but
Speaker 1: this kind of transcends sports in a day like today,
Speaker 1: when a coach who won an NBA championship a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago gets canned again. A lot of respect
Speaker 1: for Michael Malone and what he's done and contributed by
Speaker 1: allcounts of great guy, but the team it obviously tuned
Speaker 1: him out. Tremendous respect for the Crownkies for stepping in
Speaker 1: showing respect to the fans and saying no, no, we're
Speaker 1: not going to urinate away the rest of this season.
Speaker 4: You pay good money for these tickets.
Speaker 1: Let's get everything we can out of this season and
Speaker 1: find out who's willing to play defense, because there are
Speaker 1: only a couple of guys on this team who you
Speaker 1: absolutely have to keep. There are some others I'd like to,
Speaker 1: but I just I think it's the type of move
Speaker 1: as a fan that you really appreciate, and it's it's
Speaker 1: going to be better all the way around.
Speaker 4: So let's get back at it.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 1: d An five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 4: Ryan, just see this story? And how come we don't hear.
Speaker 1: More about these assassins who tried to take out the president.
Speaker 1: But you see this story today about the assassin who
Speaker 1: tried to take them out in Florida, that he had
Speaker 1: sought anti aircraft weapons from Ukraine WHOA in order to
Speaker 1: shoot down Air Force one, and Donald Trump Junior coming
Speaker 1: out and saying, if you think it's bad that Ukraine
Speaker 1: never said thank you for everything the United States has
Speaker 1: done for them, the fact.
Speaker 4: They seemingly did not.
Speaker 1: Tell us that the sociopath literally tried to buy arms
Speaker 1: from them to assassinate my father. Seems like a much
Speaker 1: bigger deal. Wonder why question mark, So what do you
Speaker 1: make of that?
Speaker 7: Well, I don't think enough has been done and this
Speaker 7: has been discussed at length to investigate time as crooks.
Speaker 7: The shooter of Donald Trump that's been swept under the
Speaker 7: rug more than Lee Harvey Oswald was in terms of
Speaker 7: who he was, what was his motivation, his body was
Speaker 7: cremated before it could be examined, whether there was any
Speaker 7: kind of substance abuse use, or all of his traffic
Speaker 7: and communications. And then also of the guy down in
Speaker 7: Florida who was setting up shop on his golf course
Speaker 7: to take a shot at Trump. That we haven't heard
Speaker 7: a lot about that either, and I can't really wrap
Speaker 7: my head around that.
Speaker 1: Well, now that the Trump administration is in charge, I
Speaker 1: trust that there's a good reason we don't know more
Speaker 1: and now before that I couldn't trust that.
Speaker 4: But at this point, and who knows what you know?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: They're in the process of figuring out who else was
Speaker 1: involved in both of those, etc. And it would disadvantage
Speaker 1: the investigation to be leaking on that. Maybe it's that right,
Speaker 1: but at least I trust at this point there isn't
Speaker 1: a cover up for political purposes. This story about, you know,
Speaker 1: seeking the anti aircraft weapons from Ukraine very disturbing. And
Speaker 1: again I think the courage of the Ukrainian people, not
Speaker 1: just the courage, the ferocity and what warfighters they are
Speaker 1: to have been able to hold off Satan in the
Speaker 1: form of Vladimir Putin is incredibly admirable.
Speaker 4: Now political level, Zelenski.
Speaker 1: Obviously there are some other issues there, some pro but
Speaker 1: obviously some real problems. But the people of Ukraine, I
Speaker 1: think have just been spectacular. But yet it seems like
Speaker 1: the government would have wanted to have told Trump that
Speaker 1: the guy's trying to buy weapons from them to kill him.
Speaker 1: Some text before we go to the phone lines, Dan
Speaker 1: George's response to running against Jenna Griswold was the greatest.
Speaker 4: Answer to such a question that I've heard in a
Speaker 4: long time. Classic that was pretty good, wasn't it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's why I played Space Out of You by
Speaker 7: Dave Bowie coming back.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: George has said that having lost to Phil Wiser, he
Speaker 1: couldn't live with himself if he lost to Jenna Griswold.
Speaker 1: I wonder if we'll see him in that race. He
Speaker 1: could very well beat her. He'd be a spectaculder attorney general. Hey,
Speaker 1: one week of backlocks of ground to cover, including that race.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 6: You're listening to the dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 3: Republican State Representative Jarvis Coldwell refused to stay silent.
Speaker 5: Posting this when we were going into debate starting the
Speaker 5: debate on House Built thirteen twelve. The Democrat majority in
Speaker 5: voked rule sixteen. Rule sixteen is calling the question and
Speaker 5: it ends debate immediately and then goes directly into a vote.
Speaker 5: And I believe they did this to silence us because
Speaker 5: they know how much negative attention this has been getting nationwide.
Speaker 5: And so what they did was they silenced us and
Speaker 5: did not let us represent our constituents and talk about
Speaker 5: the issues that we have with this bill.
Speaker 4: If you recall, House.
Speaker 5: Built thirteen twelve says that if you your child is
Speaker 5: confused about their gender identity and you don't affirm that confusion,
Speaker 5: that delusion, then you are guilty of child abuse and
Speaker 5: you can lose custody of your children.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Representative called Well doing a tremendous job in Colorado and
Speaker 1: nationally now calling attention to this really obscene miscarriage of
Speaker 1: everything starting with the First Amendment and of course the
Speaker 1: harm this does to children.
Speaker 4: Representative. Welcome back to the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Of like I was just here.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you've gone Nashville with Kaylee mccannaney on
Speaker 1: Fox because the whole country needs to hear this.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: I think your point is and I think you're right that.
Speaker 1: In the end it may not make any difference to
Speaker 1: these kind of crazed lefties in Colorado, right because they
Speaker 1: have their agenda. It is not the welfare of the children.
Speaker 1: It's not the welfare of the parents, it's not the
Speaker 1: US Constitution. It's an extreme pro trans agenda for whatever reasons.
Speaker 1: But I'm just glad that you are not going softly
Speaker 1: into that night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and I appreciate that, you know, And it's
Speaker 2: so frustrating here in Judiciary Committee because it is so
Speaker 2: far less you kind of feel helpless sometimes, and so
Speaker 2: I've kind of made it my goal of this session
Speaker 2: to just bring as much attention to the craziness that's
Speaker 2: happening here in Judiciary Committee as I can, and this
Speaker 2: issue in particular because it's going after parental rights and
Speaker 2: it's on an issue that I think people are just
Speaker 2: concerned about it. And frankly, it's an eighty twenty issue
Speaker 2: when it comes to this trans ideology and our kids
Speaker 2: and now we're talking about taking custody away from parents.
Speaker 2: Just it really caught fire, and I just kept talking
Speaker 2: about it and trying to bring attention, and it seems
Speaker 2: like it's working well.
Speaker 1: And then the question, of course is will poll this
Speaker 1: sign this monstrosity. I mean, as I said before, I
Speaker 1: don't think the US Supreme Court will even take the
Speaker 1: bench to hear this.
Speaker 4: I think they'll love the.
Speaker 1: Clerk stick to bad because it's so obviously unconstitutional. But
Speaker 1: do you think Polis will sign it before it gets
Speaker 1: struck down?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, my hope is it gets killed in
Speaker 2: the Senate before it even makes it to Polish's desk.
Speaker 2: But he's can have a real decision to make because
Speaker 2: if you just look at the twenty twenty four election,
Speaker 2: this is a very big issue in those waning days,
Speaker 2: and obviously President Trump won pretty overwhelmingly by being on
Speaker 2: the same side of this issue that I am so
Speaker 2: if he has future ambitions, then he better be paying attention.
Speaker 2: You might want to rethink the leftist psycheology on this one.
Speaker 1: Want to hear my theory on this one, Representative, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: and I can see Ryan.
Speaker 4: Rolling his eyes.
Speaker 1: I'm remote today, so I can't literally see it, but
Speaker 1: I can feel it.
Speaker 4: Here's my theory. Polis loves this.
Speaker 1: Polis wants it to get through the House and Senate
Speaker 1: so he.
Speaker 4: Can veto it.
Speaker 1: Because you're absolutely right eighty twenty issue on this one.
Speaker 1: Where are you going to find the twenty right? I
Speaker 1: think it's like a ninety.
Speaker 4: Five to five and the five are whax.
Speaker 1: So I think Polist wants this to get to his
Speaker 1: desk so he can veto it and he can then
Speaker 1: head out into this fantastical meaning it's total fantasy campaign
Speaker 1: for president, claiming some sort of moderate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I kind of hope the same thing
Speaker 2: with Senate Bill three, that's the gun bill that's sitting
Speaker 2: on a desk right now. But you know, I hope
Speaker 2: you're right for the sake of for parents and children.
Speaker 2: You know something I said in the interview earlier today,
Speaker 2: I said, I like my heart breaks for these kids
Speaker 2: because a lot of kids showed up to testify, a
Speaker 2: lot of transgender kids, and the amount of times I
Speaker 2: couldn't keep track that they talked about being suicidal, they
Speaker 2: talked about depression, they talked about anxiety. I could even
Speaker 2: see some of the kids who are wearing short sleeve
Speaker 2: shirts with like these marks all over their arms where
Speaker 2: they cut themselves. And we have a real mental health
Speaker 2: issue here, and our kids aren't okay, and we need
Speaker 2: to get them help. And I don't think their idea
Speaker 2: of help.
Speaker 3: Is actual help.
Speaker 1: Again, I think the Democratic Party is contrasted to typical Democrats.
Speaker 1: They view these children as commodities. They view him as property,
Speaker 1: they view him as political pawns. And I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any heartfelt concern for them among the political elite
Speaker 1: at all, or they wouldn't do the things they do, right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I think that's just how they see them.
Speaker 1: But you're right, America is onto that. Look what happened
Speaker 1: on November fourth, And that's why I cannot imagine a
Speaker 1: scenario where Polish signs is which probably means he signs it,
Speaker 1: but I really cannot see that. You know, and listen,
Speaker 1: the idea that anybody should mistake Polis is some kind
Speaker 1: of champion of children.
Speaker 4: Give me a break.
Speaker 1: Look at the radical, extraordinarily violent carnage that he signed
Speaker 1: off on in terms of Colorado's abortion laws, but in
Speaker 1: terms of his own political health.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got to know this would be a death
Speaker 4: now moving into a national race. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2: I mean, look what it did Kamala Harris to talk about,
Speaker 2: you know, taxpayer funded transgender surgery for a legal aliens.
Speaker 2: It's like that didn't work out too well for her.
Speaker 2: And so, you know, fullish for all the things that
Speaker 2: he is, he's a pretty smart political operator, and so
Speaker 2: he has to be looking at this and saying, I
Speaker 2: don't want my name on this if I have higher ambitions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's they tell your boy he's really a boy,
Speaker 1: and you lose custody bill, Right, I mean, where's the
Speaker 1: upside in signing that, well, Representative Jervis Caldwell, our guests,
Speaker 1: So what's next in this effort to say, educate the
Speaker 1: people of Colorado? Because I have to believe they are
Speaker 1: an awful lot of people who vote for Democrats who
Speaker 1: think this is absolutely lunacy. If this is absolute lunacy,
Speaker 1: and would never support this in a million years, So
Speaker 1: how do you reach them? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean well that's kind of been my strategy just
Speaker 2: for the last few days, is just doing as many
Speaker 2: interviews as I can and getting out there. We had
Speaker 2: another one of our members do some pretty big national
Speaker 2: media earlier, and it's just really it's all of us
Speaker 2: coming together and just getting out the message to our
Speaker 2: different district but then doing the type of media that
Speaker 2: gets out there outside of our districts and into the
Speaker 2: Democrat districts and tell them, Look, you're representative voted for this.
Speaker 2: Are you okay with that? You know, you're you're a moderate,
Speaker 2: you're on the fence, you mostly vote Democrat, but you're
Speaker 2: kind of in the middle. Are you okay with your
Speaker 2: representative voting for stuff like this? And maybe we'll see
Speaker 2: a change here in the next election cycle.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think if you can get the word
Speaker 1: out to those Democrats and Democrat leaning unaffiliated, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that will happen. But the media isn't going to help
Speaker 1: you on that, right because most of it's just an
Speaker 1: extension of that of the Democrat Party in Colorado. But
Speaker 1: how can people follow you?
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, so, I always suggest follow if you just
Speaker 2: go on any social media platform, look up Colorado how
Speaker 2: Republicans first, because we push a lot of stuff on
Speaker 2: there about all the issues. And then for me in particular,
Speaker 2: if you go on x you can just go to
Speaker 2: a Rep. Cold Well and you'll find me.
Speaker 4: Well, keep fighting the good fight, my friend. Sure appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, thank you so much.
Speaker 4: You take care.
Speaker 1: That is Representative Jarvis Caldwell and Ryan. We had this
Speaker 1: discussion with Representative Winter the other day. It's really interesting.
Speaker 1: And I don't claim to be a biblical scholar. I
Speaker 1: should be better on that. But despite my four years
Speaker 1: in the seminary high school years, but you know that
Speaker 1: fight the good fight, finish the race the crown that
Speaker 1: awaits I don't think it says fight and win the
Speaker 1: good fight. Obviously you want to if you can. But
Speaker 1: I think we're put on this rock to fight the
Speaker 1: good fight, and then whether we win it or not
Speaker 1: may well be beyond our control. And some of the
Speaker 1: people who deserve the most admiration are those who fight
Speaker 1: the good fight when there's no chance to win it
Speaker 1: because of the way the landscape happens to be at
Speaker 1: the moment. Now, I think this one I think there
Speaker 1: will be a victory, right for the reasons we just discussed.
Speaker 4: I think Polis wants it passed so we can veto it.
Speaker 1: But I really respect all these guys and gals who
Speaker 1: are fighting the good fight against some truly evil stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying evil people, but I'm saying people doing
Speaker 1: truly evil stuff, knowing that on many of these they
Speaker 1: have no chance to win, at least in the mathematical sense,
Speaker 1: in this Democrat controlled legislature. But they're still standing up
Speaker 1: against evil things. And I think that's a victory in
Speaker 1: and of itself.
Speaker 7: And at some point, Dan, the political will of the
Speaker 7: people will be heard and we'll get a Corey Gardner
Speaker 7: or there be a race like that that jumps off
Speaker 7: the page that a Republican will win, and it will
Speaker 7: be because of an issue just like this one.
Speaker 4: Oh my lord.
Speaker 1: Yeah, whoever the GOP nominees are for governor and Senate,
Speaker 1: they better be banging front and center the whole day. Okay, Hey,
Speaker 1: John Heck and Lebrae. Whoever the gubernatorial candidate is, Michael Bennett.
Speaker 1: You know, do you support boys playing girls sports, men's
Speaker 1: playing men playing women's sports?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: And this is obviously another offshoot of that same lunacy.
Speaker 4: And boy, you're right.
Speaker 1: Your very best chance to open eyes about who your
Speaker 1: opponent really is is that issue.
Speaker 4: You're on the Dan Caplas.
Speaker 6: Show and now back to the Dankaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 8: So the one lawmaker there when she calls parents groups
Speaker 8: anybody who's not an LGBT parent group. Wow, So I
Speaker 8: guess we're the enemy in her book and so or
Speaker 8: in her case for all the rest of us are
Speaker 8: white supremacists. That was her example. I mean, this is
Speaker 8: more than just offensive. This comes under that umbrella of
Speaker 8: why does the government want to take our children? Why
Speaker 8: in the state of Illinois were school choice They want
Speaker 8: to send in a Democrat led bill right now wants
Speaker 8: to send in investigators to figure out whether or not
Speaker 8: you're homeschooling correctly. This is like that, are you calling
Speaker 8: your child by the right name?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Harris Faulkner right, not known as a bomb thrower
Speaker 1: from the right or anything. She was speaking with Representative
Speaker 1: Jeris Caldwell, who had just joined us on the show
Speaker 1: about the latest leftist lunacy. But we can't just laugh
Speaker 1: it off, right, and not just because it may well
Speaker 1: become law, though in this case I'm convinced police would
Speaker 1: veto it for political gain, and obviously it needs to
Speaker 1: be vetoed. But her core point there is one I
Speaker 1: think we really need to focus on. Okay, why does
Speaker 1: the left want to take our kids? Take control, take
Speaker 1: control of what they can be told, actually criminalize or
Speaker 1: in this case, you know, tell parents they could lose
Speaker 1: their child in a custody battle if they're not willing
Speaker 1: to lie to their child and say, oh, no, you're
Speaker 1: really a girl even though you have male parts.
Speaker 4: So why is all of that?
Speaker 1: What's the same reason that Polish came out the day
Speaker 1: after he first got elected governor and said on KUSA
Speaker 1: people need to leave their faith outside the public square
Speaker 1: because the left knows they can't win a fair fight.
Speaker 1: They can't win a fair argument. The left can't win
Speaker 1: based on facts, law, reason, common morality. The only way
Speaker 1: the left can win is to censor. The only way
Speaker 1: the left can win is to separate people from their faiths,
Speaker 1: or at least separate their vote from their faith. The
Speaker 1: only way the left can win is if parents aren't
Speaker 1: allowed to be the primary influence in their child's life.
Speaker 1: If the left is the primary influence in their child's life,
Speaker 1: through indoctrination in schools, through criminalizing parents, or at least
Speaker 1: undermining custody if parents tell their children the truth.
Speaker 4: So that's the play.
Speaker 1: From the left, And it all comes back to the
Speaker 1: common starting point, which is the left can't win on
Speaker 1: the big issues based on logic, truth, reason, morality. So
Speaker 1: that's where we find ourselves. And in Colorado, the left
Speaker 1: at this point has almost free ring.
Speaker 4: So where does it go from here? Three or three?
Speaker 1: Someone three A two five five the number text d
Speaker 1: an five seven seven three nine, Young Ryan, Where does
Speaker 1: it go from here?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean you're talking about the trans the kids bill.
Speaker 1: Well, this this particular bill we all know right there's
Speaker 1: almost no chance that Polus would sign this. My theory
Speaker 1: is he wants it on his desk so we can
Speaker 1: veto it.
Speaker 4: Well, no, I mean it would be you'd like to say,
Speaker 4: to be the end of his presidential aspirations, but that's
Speaker 4: already ended. They never bet theen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he may run the race, but there's
Speaker 1: no shot there.
Speaker 7: When I was speaking with Representative Scott Bobtams earlier today, Dan,
Speaker 7: and he's a candidate for governor he on the GOP
Speaker 7: side is going to be in that primary.
Speaker 6: He was of the.
Speaker 7: Opinion that Jared Poulis has pot committed to this entire ideology,
Speaker 7: that he is going to sign the bill.
Speaker 6: That was his belief.
Speaker 7: I think Jarvis Caldwell and myself, we both hope that
Speaker 7: you're right. But it's for cinec reasons anyway, that Jared
Speaker 7: Paulus would veto this bill in entirely selfish ones and motives.
Speaker 7: And I think that that might still bear out because
Speaker 7: of the reasons you stated. What good is it for
Speaker 7: him personally, politically, whatever else, for him to sign such
Speaker 7: a bill. I don't see it because then he allows
Speaker 7: Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom right to outflank him to the right.
Speaker 4: On this issue.
Speaker 1: Right, No, no, And it's so crazy on its face, right,
Speaker 1: and it's obviously going to get struck down, whether it
Speaker 1: gets struck down early on or struck down by the
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court. You know, for the same reason the
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court has taken the Colorado case on counselors
Speaker 1: say this same censorship from the left saying that no, counselors,
Speaker 1: you can't say to kids, no, hey, you're really a boy,
Speaker 1: and here's how we can help you, you know, live
Speaker 1: true to your actual gender. You know, they criminalize that,
Speaker 1: and the US Supreme Court steps in and says, remember
Speaker 1: the Constitution. You know, you can't be doing that to
Speaker 1: free speech. This one would be even more of a
Speaker 1: no brainer, right, Oh, no, you can't say to your boy, no,
Speaker 1: you're really a boy and you really need to be
Speaker 1: a boy, or you lose custody. I can't say that
Speaker 1: for free speech, freedom of religion, and lots of other reasons.
Speaker 1: So well, some Texters, here is a really useful text. Dan,
Speaker 1: you should change the name of your show to the
Speaker 1: Transcapitalist Show since your show seems to solely focus on
Speaker 1: the smallest population DEMOGRAPHICL appreciate the creativity there, but no,
Speaker 1: what this show has always been about is the relentless
Speaker 1: pursuit of the truth and just shining the light on
Speaker 1: really bad things so we can stop them. And these
Speaker 1: are really bad things that we need to stop. So
Speaker 1: it's not a matter of whether it affects this percent
Speaker 1: of the population or that percent of the population.
Speaker 4: First, it affects.
Speaker 1: Kids, and that's just kind of a sacred trust among
Speaker 1: all of us, right, So, no talk about an issue
Speaker 1: that deserves every minute of this show it can get
Speaker 1: it is this issue, and then it obviously goes to
Speaker 1: quote bigger issues as well, affecting more people. Why do
Speaker 1: you think the left is so absolutely fixated on this issue?
Speaker 1: Because once you can break the will of society, get
Speaker 1: society to agree to tell lies, to support lies, to
Speaker 1: say lies are the truth, then you can go anywhere
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 4: Brian tremendous job is always appreciated.
Speaker 1: My friend, Kelly, you are the best human sunshine in
Speaker 1: a bottle. Please join us tomorrow on The Dan Kapla
