Winning. I mean, 6 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.359 look around, this is a great time to be alive. 7 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.399 I some apologies to Hamilton right to you. Remember that 8 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.600 song I wish I could sing one say. 9 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:24.320 Look around and look around? 10 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.120 What a wonderful time to be alive right now? 11 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:26.960 But it is. 12 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.160 I mean, you're getting tired of winning yet Look what's 13 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.240 happening in California. Trump is clearly winning, which means America's winning, 14 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.840 and the left just can't give it up. So we'll 15 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.280 have some of this sound just because it's so much fun. 16 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.119 I don't want anybody to get hurt, obviously, but every 17 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.320 day this lunacy goes on, with the Democrats lining up 18 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.600 behind the riders and the rest of America lining up 19 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.479 behind Trump and law and order and actually enforcing our laws. Yeah, 20 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.079 that that's a good day for America and certainly a 21 00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.240 very good day for President Trump. I know that not 22 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.119 all the polls are the same right now, Ryan, but 23 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.399 he's really he's really spiking in in a couple of them. 24 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.680 I mean, his numbers are good across the board, but 25 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.920 he's really I thought I saw him up around fifty five, 26 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:08.879 fifty six percent. 27 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.200 This is such a losing hill for Gavin Newsom. He's 28 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.079 coming out with these videos. He's thinking he can position himself, 29 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.079 posture himself against Trump and that'll gain him some traction 30 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.200 the Democratic Party. This after he tried to moderate on 31 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:24.680 issues like trans girls and female sports. Doesn't know where 32 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.079 to go politically. He's such a chameleon and trying to 33 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.280 insinuate that these riots are Trump's fault instead of coming 34 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.560 out this is where Democrats are so weak, Dan, It's 35 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.120 the perception of them, it's the reality of them. They 36 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.599 are weak on crime, they don't mind these riots, they 37 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.799 aren't committed to stopping them. And Gavin Newsom instead of 38 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.879 talking in those terms, it's like Trump is sending in 39 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:46.680 the military. 40 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:47.560 We don't want that. 41 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.959 Let me respectfully disagree here in this sense, Okay, and 42 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.599 again I put this in the category of great for America, right, 43 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.760 because if Gavin Newsom is going to be the Democrats nominee, 44 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.079 then whether it's JD. Mart go. Whichever of the group 45 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.519 can can start measuring for the hot til break now. 46 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.879 But here's the point. I think it's a really smart 47 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.919 move by Newsome within the Democratic Party, right because what 48 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.280 do they got? They got nothing? Right, at least he 49 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.280 has a platform right now. Now he's saying things that 50 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.319 just make him look silly to most of America and 51 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.319 a lot of Democrats, but compared to all these other Democrats, 52 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.919 at least he's got a platform and at least he's 53 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.879 out there. So I think this is great for him 54 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.439 within the Democratic Party, and I think it'll be great 55 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.039 for the GOP nominee for president if he's their nominee. 56 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.840 Let me pain in a scenario for a guy that 57 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.039 you and I both respect, politically disagree with but think 58 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.599 he'd be strong and dangerous, and that is Josh Shapiro, 59 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.199 governor Pennsylvania. What if Dan he came out in a 60 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.479 fetterman like way and said, look, whatever's happening in Los Angeles, 61 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.840 whoever's fault it is, he can't even give himself that 62 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.560 cover say it will not be happening in Pittsburgh. It 63 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.159 will not be happening in Philadelphia. We will not tolerate 64 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.719 violence against our police officer officers. What if a Democrat 65 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.840 governor like Josh Shapiro came out and said something. 66 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.960 Like that, Yeah, you're right, it'd be brilliant. But here's 67 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.560 the problem. His hands are tied right now because he's 68 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.199 in a party where a lot of the people in 69 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.599 power don't like Jewish people. Right or he would have 70 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.599 been he would have been the nominee when or at 71 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.120 least on a ticket with Whitmer after they pulled the 72 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.639 coup on Biden. So that's his problem. So if he 73 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.800 was to come out right now and say something smart 74 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.960 like that, right, well, all of a sudden, you know, 75 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.240 he's already got this big problem with the big faction 76 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.639 of the leadership of his party that doesn't like Jewish people, 77 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.319 and now all of a sudden he's gone against you know, 78 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.960 the Democratic Party quote mainstream support for illegal immigrants overall elsewell, 79 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.520 second to abortion right the Democratic Party right now lives 80 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.840 for abortion up to the moment of delivery. And second 81 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.400 to support folks here illegally who want to go out 82 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.080 and commit other crimes. That's what they live for. And 83 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.159 the Maryland man, but I guess he falls into the 84 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.960 second category three or three, I'm one, three, eight, two, five, 85 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.000 five and men in girl showers. That's the act of 86 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.319 a party, right there. Not a party I'd want to 87 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.960 go to, and a lot of people are leaving that party, 88 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.759 didn't I hear? Was it Caldera or was it you? 89 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.160 Somebody was talking about Demo registration being down. Maybe it 90 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.319 was Michael Brown as a great show in the mornings. Yeah, 91 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.759 on six pot thirty kis w and Denver, somebody who's 92 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.279 saying Demo registration is down in Colorado. 93 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.439 That would be one point of encouragement for us. Yes, well, 94 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:29.040 aren't there a. 95 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.920 Lot of points of encouragement in Colorado right now? 96 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.079 I mean, in evidence, there's a lot of anecdotal evidence 97 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.120 that would suggest that people that are truly in the 98 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.480 middle should be a gas where the Democrats are leading us. 99 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.399 But it doesn't seem to be connecting. 100 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.120 Well, right because of what I said earlier. Right as 101 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.920 as a former Democrat, I know these things, which is, 102 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.839 you got so many Democrats repulsed by the Democratic Party 103 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.560 right now, but they can't even imagine voting for Republicans. 104 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.600 So the challenge of the Republicans is not beating the Democrats. 105 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.879 That the challenge of the Republicans. Is is convincing enough 106 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.959 Democrats and Democrat leaning voters that it's different. Now, it's 107 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:12.360 a different GOP. You know, I'm she is. You are 108 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.519 a candidate you can support in good conscience because we're 109 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:21.199 not losing these races on principles or ideas or facts 110 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.160 or logic or morality. We're losing these races, particularly the 111 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.720 closer ones, on the stereotype of the GOP, which is 112 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.199 largely false, very outdated. But you know, God, understand that 113 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.000 there are so many good people who just grew up Democrat, 114 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.839 right they're born into a family of Democrats. And if 115 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.040 you're born into a family of Democrats like I was, 116 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.959 and wonderful people of deep principle and different ideas on 117 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.399 different subjects. But but the view of the Republican Party, 118 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.959 and this particularly goes back twenty thirty forty years, so 119 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.199 very negative and so deeply branded into the minds of 120 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.279 so many good, smart people. That's what we got to beat. 121 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.199 And then that is a different critter, Ryan than sitting 122 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.360 here and saying, you know, we gotta win these races 123 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.120 on this issue and that issue, and there's truth in 124 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.319 all of that, but you gotta beat the stereotype. And 125 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.199 when you beat the stereotype, do you play pinball? Do 126 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:20.040 you ever play pinball? 127 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.240 Yeah? But not with the who. 128 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:22.800 Do you ever play a game called xenon? 129 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:23.560 Yes? 130 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.120 Okay? So you know, when you beat the stereotype, it's 131 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.399 like you're getting those eight X points because you beat 132 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.199 the stereotype all of a sudden, you're not just picking 133 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.079 up a vote, You're taking a vote away from them, 134 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.079 and you may very well be taking a family member 135 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.240 of the voter who just flipped for you away from them. Selling. 136 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.680 That's where it's at. That's where it's at is defying 137 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.839 the stereotype and overcoming the stereotype, which leads to the 138 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.639 logical question, how does one do that? So I'd love 139 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.839 to hear from our incredibly diverse and talented audience three 140 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.000 or three someone three, two, five, five, text d an five, seven, 141 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.160 seven through nine. My guess is Ryan has a thought, 142 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.279 But how do GOP candidates overcome the stereotype? Because, yeah, 143 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.480 your Democrat opponent, you got to deal with that, but 144 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.959 your biggest opponent is the negative stereotype of the GOP. 145 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.560 What do you do about that? Mister Funk, I shouldn't 146 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:21.120 have done that. 147 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:21.839 That was pretty severe. 148 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.199 Yeah, just caused five crashes. 149 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.439 Oh my lord. Yeah. It's difficult, Dan, because there are 150 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.000 a few outlets, this being one of them, I show 151 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.959 that procedures and Denver being another. But we're in the 152 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.680 distinct minority of platforms that as fou as conservative views 153 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.560 and are friendly to conservative opinions, Whereas I think a 154 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.480 lot of the local media in Denver has a filter 155 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.079 on and has a lot of the eyeballs on them watching, 156 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.600 and there are certain stories that don't get the coverage, 157 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.480 like the Aurora apartment takeover by Trendy Aragua. That's a 158 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:00.279 key example where Kyle Clark ignored the story despite Cindy 159 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.000 Rameiro reaching out directly to him personally. He ignored it 160 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.920 because it was not a convenient story for the narrative 161 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.079 he wanted to advance. That would be one example, right. 162 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.399 And if we zero in on and I'm sorry to 163 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.160 be obsessed with this, but I do think it's the 164 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.079 secret sauce. It's the key to the GOP winning races. 165 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.199 People think they have no chance to race when if 166 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:25.600 you're focused on defeating the stereotype. Defeating the stereotype, there 167 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.279 are certain things I think you do as a candidate, 168 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.680 and to your point, Ryan, one of those is you 169 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.399 do everything humanly possible to go all those places and 170 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.639 to get on that air. All right, let's do a 171 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.200 sit down. Is there any question you have? And then 172 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.360 just be sure to record the whole thing yourself in 173 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.440 case they edit it dishonestly. But you go do that, 174 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.120 You go in front of every major Democrat group out there. 175 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.519 There are all sorts of creative things you do to 176 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.799 try to overcome the stereotype, because that is what we're 177 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.200 losing to. Not always right, there are certain issues that 178 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.399 sometimes take over a race. I gets that are certain personalities, 179 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.279 but so often we end up losing to the stereotype. 180 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:10.240 So I'd love your thoughts. So, how do conservative candidates 181 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.679 overcome the negative stereotype of the GOP? And I know 182 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.360 that question may be offensive to you because you're sitting 183 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.519 there thinking, wait a second, there's no negative stereotype of 184 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:25.039 the GOP, and there certainly shouldn't be one because I 185 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.200 do and we do all these good things. So no, 186 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.360 that's nonsense. But I'm just telling you the reality, growing 187 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.000 up a Democrat, having been a Democrat, there is and 188 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.879 it's very very unfair and it's very untrue and it's 189 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.799 very outdated, but it is as real. It is as 190 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.080 real as that brick wall over there, and we ignore it. Well, 191 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.519 we're going to get smashed against that wall.

What form will the big public 219 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:10.720 reconciliation come in? 220 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.000 Elon will attend the two hundred and fiftieth Celebration of 221 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.200 our Armed Forces, the parade that Donald Trump is throwing, 222 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.679 and they'll make knights there. That's my prediction. 223 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:25.200 Okay, okay. Interesting and tonight there's all this controversy. I 224 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.120 put it in quotes because it's you know, fake news 225 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:31.000 in the left, but of Trump, you know, taking control 226 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.240 as he should of the Kennedy Center programming and things 227 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.279 like that.

So if I'm going 243 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.679 out to do something fun, I want it to be fun. 244 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.080 Yeah, I get it. 245 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:23.600 So why would you go to something that is miserable? 246 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.759 In the name Kelly, I've seen it nine times, nine 247 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:29.720 man in four different cities. 248 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.720 What do you think of Hugh Jackman? 249 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:32.799 Wasn't he in the movie? 250 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:36.480 Yeah? Yeah, he did pretty good, made fun of his singing. 251 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.519 Does it have a does it have a spoiler alert? Now? 252 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.200 Because I may say it some day?

Well no, So 254 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.639 why would you go? 255 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:49.799 How many times? 256 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.639 Feeling so good? Let's go? Be said? 257 00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:58.639 The music is phenomenal And I saw the original Broadway 258 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.759 cast which it was fun in New York with my dad, 259 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:08.360 and I've also seen it twice in Chicago four times 260 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.399 in law. 261 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.279 You're hooked, It's like us in Taylor Swift my dog 262 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:17.360 twice here. Yeah, did you see that Denver guy getting 263 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.519 busted or at least a restraining order for stalking Taylor Swift? 264 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.759 It was not anybody we know, No, No, it wasn't Dan. 265 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.759 We have had excellent GOP candidates in the past and 266 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.600 still ended up with the likes of Polist Coker. Who's Cocher? 267 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:37.679 Anybody heard of a cocher An office around here? Polis, Cocher, Frow, Patterson, 268 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.440 et cetera. The voters here have not suffered enough pain 269 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.720 for how they voted. Steve is right. We have had 270 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.480 some great GOP candidates and you're right, no, they lost 271 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:53.440 and and obviously it's not going to be easy. But 272 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.720 I'm just saying, yeah, a great candidate is not enough 273 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.720 in and of itself. You know, other things need to happen. 274 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.960 And when you think of some of the great candidates, 275 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.360 and I would put my now law partner John Keller 276 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.320 certainly among that group of great candidates. I look at 277 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.919 all those races, there's simply nothing any of them could 278 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.639 have done to win that race period in retrospect. Now 279 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.200 that's clear. But you cannot step in the same river twice. 280 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.240 You know who said that Ryan doesn't know that that, 281 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.559 which is really odd. Nice. Yeah, yeah, who was that? 282 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:26.080 I've heard of it. 283 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.639 Yeah, it's an ancient Native American saying you cannot step 284 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.600 in the same river twice. You know when I use 285 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.679 that to great effect. I was covering Rodney King and 286 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.080 I was covering it for a national audience at that time, 287 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.840 and we were talking about the trial. I remember I 288 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.559 was sitting in the NBC studios and one of the 289 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.519 anchors had asked about had asked about the trial. Well, 290 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:51.200 there was this first trial and then this and that, 291 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.960 and then I pulled out this line. Well you cannot say. 292 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.399 I pulled out this line and said, you know, Native 293 00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.320 Americans have a saying you cannot step in the same 294 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:05.159 river twice. You cannot try the same case twice. And 295 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.080 they just went, whoa, that's deep. 296 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.159 It was a great moment. 297 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.200 It was a really great moment. That was a really 298 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:13.919 great moment. 299 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.320 That's good. 300 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.399 Yeah, you know the other great moment, and feel free 301 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.080 to turn off your radio, but I'm having fun right 302 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:22.120 now at the other great moment was and I didn't 303 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:23.600 know what was happened at the time they sent me 304 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:28.759 the tape, but Jesse Jackson when he was really big, 305 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.879 really hot. Jesse was on with the Big LA anchor 306 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.519 and NBC anchor in La and they were doing an 307 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.759 interview on set and it was during Rodney King, and 308 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.039 the interview was about Rodney King. And then the anchor 309 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.759 said to Reverend Jackson. He said, sorry, Reverend, I have 310 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.120 to interrupt. I understand that that that we have a 311 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:57.639 special bulletin from Dan Kaplis. Look, God, Jesse Jackson's face. 312 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.320 I think I still have that come up. I'm going 313 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.200 to find that it's on a tape somewhere. 314 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.399 I'm going to find alive, hope, alive man capitalist. 315 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:09.519 Yeah, it was just oh man, life's funny, isn't it. 316 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.519 Glad you're here. You may not be, but I'm really 317 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.559 glad you're here. Three or three someone three A two 318 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:16.879 five five the number text d an five seven seven 319 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:22.080 three nine if you missed it earlier, humbly, I laid 320 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.879 out the way to save Denver, and a big part 321 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.720 of that is actually solving the homeless problem, which is 322 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.480 so easy to do and it's such a great fix 323 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.960 for everybody. So I laid that out a bit earlier. 324 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.559 I'll touch on it when we come back, but I 325 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.120 want to play this story because Denver, even if you 326 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.960 never come here right if you're happening to listen in 327 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.039 the Rocky Mountain region right now, it's really important to 328 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.120 you because what happens in Denver doesn't stay in Denver, 329 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.519 and is Denver continues in kind of this subtle and 330 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.840 sometimes not so subtle doom loop. It's going to be 331 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.000 bad for everybody. So I want to play this CBS 332 00:16:55.039 --> 00:17:01.480 story about this really dangerous financial situation Denver's in and 333 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.879 then talk in concrete terms about the fix. And we'll 334 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.759 do much more than that as well. But Ryan, in 335 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:09.599 these few seconds, we have hopefully not in life, but 336 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.160 in this segment. Yeah, wow, what what do you think 337 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.720 Denver's going to look like in ten years? Oh? Man? 338 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.720 I still think there's a bottoming out that needs to happen. 339 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.680 I believe we're in the process of that politically, and 340 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.640 it will not turn around until at least part of 341 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.759 the state. I think the Republicans need to get back 342 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.160 at least one of the branches of the General Assembly 343 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.559 to get some traction. Until then, we're going to run 344 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.759 rough shot off the grails and off the cliff to 345 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.160 the left. 346 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.519 Yeah, well, we know one thing for sure, right Denver 347 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.359 is going to have a Republican mayor. And we know 348 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.359 another thing for sure is they won't call themselves republican, 349 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.240 they won't have an R. But they're going to be 350 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:53.079 a conservative mayor who pursues he or she of conservative 351 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.240 Republican principles. That will happen. I think it's going to 352 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.279 happen sooner than later. It has to happen. You're on 353 00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.559 the den Capitol Shop. 354 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.160 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 355 00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.839 What is your favorite features? Oh? 356 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.279 Such a loaded question. It probably is the one I'm 357 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.279 going to say for last here coming up, and it's 358 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.640 God only knows bro that is so good? That sounds 359 00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.519 by Brian Wilson. 360 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:23.440 Yeah. For me, it's probably Little Gto Yeah, just because 361 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.920 it ties into a degrimative moment. 362 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:28.720 My young child picked another song about a car, Little 363 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.240 Deuce Coop there for you, But I guessed wrong because 364 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:33.480 you you prefer the other one. But that's that's a 365 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.359 good choice, wouldn't it be nice? It is probably right 366 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:37.000 up there too. 367 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.160 I've got a question, how can we never play their 368 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:40.640 music when these people are alive? 369 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.799 I play this kind of stuff all the time. 370 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.079 You got to die to get on this show. That's 371 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:46.759 people are dying to get on this show. 372 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.640 That's good clause I fake news is a little bit true, 373 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:50.920 but it's a little bit false. 374 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:51.599 Yeah. 375 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.559 I do play a lot of this stuff from time 376 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:55.599 to time when it fits some of our topics. 377 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.839 No, that's true, and truly nobody has ever been better 378 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.240 at that. Hey, I want to play this CBS four 379 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:06.839 story out of Denver. It's just about how serious that 380 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.440 the financial problems of Denver are right now and how 381 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:13.240 much they threaten, and the point being, they're only going 382 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:17.000 to get worse, right because once Johnston committed Denver to 383 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:23.319 this insane and unsustainable and bad for everybody, promise to 384 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:25.880 everyone in the world, come to Denver and we will 385 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:26.519 get you a home. 386 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.359 We will get you a home. We will get you 387 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:29.880 a home. 388 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.000 At that point, then it's just a matter of time 389 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:35.400 before the city runs out of money. Right, you cannot 390 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.640 sustain that. So you see fewer people on the street, 391 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.720 but homelessness is increasing, right because of course people are 392 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.839 going to come to where the mayra's promise to get 393 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:47.559 you a home using taxpayer dollars. And so we're in 394 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.960 this doom loop and now we're seeing friends and neighbors 395 00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:53.880 being laid off by the city services, COT, etc. And 396 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.559 it's only going to get worse. So I want to 397 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.160 play this story not to curse the darkness, but as 398 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.880 I talked about earlier in the show, so there is 399 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.400 a solution, and it's simple and it's straightforward and it 400 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.119 will work, and it starts with a solution to homelessness. 401 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.240
