Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dankpla Show. Please be sure to give
Speaker 1: us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. We're going to
Speaker 1: Cynthia hour with a local issue that cuts to the
Speaker 1: heart of all of that, and it's a fresh issue.
Speaker 1: It's a big problem, and it's caused just an explosion
Speaker 1: of parental concern maybe unlike any I've seen in my
Speaker 1: close to thirty years on Aaron. We've done a lot
Speaker 1: of big issues involving schools, and this particular issue involves
Speaker 1: the Lehman Academy of Excellence in Parker and a parent
Speaker 1: joins us. Now Kaylan joins us. And I've had many
Speaker 1: parents call, many parents who want to come on the show.
Speaker 1: We have other parents scheduled to come on this tomorrow,
Speaker 1: in fact, and I've called Lehman Academy and left a
Speaker 1: message asking for someone to come on. So let Kaylen
Speaker 1: lay it out first. Kaylen, Welcome to The Dankpla Show.
Speaker 2: Hi Dan, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for being here. And again, we've had a
Speaker 1: lot of big issues involving schools and a lot of
Speaker 1: parental concern over the decades. And I'm really glad parents
Speaker 1: have come on air to express that. I think we've
Speaker 1: been able to help fix a lot of problems in
Speaker 1: the past that way when people just you know, can
Speaker 1: see what's going on out there. But I've never had
Speaker 1: a situation like this where so many parents are calling
Speaker 1: so soon, and Caitlyn tell people what the issue is
Speaker 1: and then a little bit about that. As I understand it,
Speaker 1: Zoom meeting with the board attended by four hundred parents
Speaker 1: or so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the situation at hand is about a first
Speaker 3: grader boy. He dresses like a girl, and I can't
Speaker 3: confirm that because my son is in his class and
Speaker 3: or dressed today and pink shoes and has longer hair.
Speaker 3: And my son even expressed today like mom, they call
Speaker 3: him a say her and she and he was just
Speaker 3: so confused, and the Zoom call was really refreshing. There
Speaker 3: was a lot of parents, I would say the majority
Speaker 3: of parents all agree that this is just it's so
Speaker 3: young to expose these kids to this kind of behavior.
Speaker 3: And in my instance, you know, be who you want
Speaker 3: to be. I know, the administration is tied by Colorado's
Speaker 3: new laws. My son, though, was in this class because
Speaker 3: and because of our religious views, we don't align with
Speaker 3: this behavior. And that being said, I have asked the
Speaker 3: administration at the school and gone as far as reaching
Speaker 3: out to the superintendent of Douglas County to have my
Speaker 3: son moved to a different class. That's simply all I want.
Speaker 3: I get the same canned email that they can't speak
Speaker 3: on the issue, or they worked hard for class placement,
Speaker 3: and they have no legal reason to move my son.
Speaker 3: And as his parents, as his parents, I just should
Speaker 3: have authority over my son if they transcend.
Speaker 2: Her child has so many rights.
Speaker 3: I just don't understand why my son's right of religious
Speaker 3: freedom can't press And I'm just curious, when are we
Speaker 3: going to protect the majority. It seems like we're always
Speaker 3: protecting the minority.
Speaker 1: And in a situation like this, it seems to me
Speaker 1: that that parents would have a very justifiable concern that
Speaker 1: it would be causing confusion among their own children and
Speaker 1: therefore harming their own children. And so I think, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously each and every one of us is a parent.
Speaker 1: We need to protect our own children. And that's not
Speaker 1: a commentary on this youngster. You know, I'm not in
Speaker 1: any way sha perform critical of the youngster. It's just
Speaker 1: a matter of the parents should have a right to
Speaker 1: protect their child from this kind of confusion and just
Speaker 1: the other issues that go with it. So where does
Speaker 1: it go from here? What are parents attempting to do?
Speaker 3: Well? So the end of the board meeting yesterday, they
Speaker 3: did come up with a temporary solution of that your
Speaker 3: gender that was assigned at first, you have to use that.
Speaker 3: You don't feel comfortable that you can use a soft
Speaker 3: bathroom which is an individual bathroom, which is great, but
Speaker 3: I feel like it doesn't address my issue of my
Speaker 3: son is still in this class. There's uniforms at this class.
Speaker 3: Why is this boy allowed.
Speaker 1: To whoa sister? You're hiding the headline? Tell me about
Speaker 1: this uniform business.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we have uniforms at this school and this
Speaker 3: boy it's a polo and khaki pants or blue pants.
Speaker 3: It's very lax in realm of uniform. You can wear
Speaker 3: any color polo.
Speaker 1: Well, doesn't that just solve the problem? And listen, I'm
Speaker 1: not offering this as a legal opinion, just as a dad.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that solve the problem? If there's a uniform requirement
Speaker 1: that just has to apply uniformly pun intended.
Speaker 3: Right, And my argument is, Okay, well, if my son
Speaker 3: feels better in athletic shorts and a T shirt, then
Speaker 3: he should be allowed to wear that instead.
Speaker 2: So I just think this is open.
Speaker 3: To can of worms that shouldn't need to be opened.
Speaker 3: And if I'm simply asking for my son to move classes,
Speaker 3: I feel like that should be addressed. It's frankly quite
Speaker 3: disappointing because I love the school. The teachers are great,
Speaker 3: the curriculum is great, and this is just really disheartening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, all these parents who have started
Speaker 1: calling me, they all have good things to say about
Speaker 1: the school. Otherwise obviously they wouldn't have their kids there
Speaker 1: if they didn't. So that's why I really hope to
Speaker 1: talk to an administrator now. At the end of the day, Kaitlin,
Speaker 1: if the school won't budge, will you pull your kids out?
Speaker 3: I mean, it kind of is it's a rock and
Speaker 3: a hard place, because I feel like we're gonna come
Speaker 3: into this wherever we go.
Speaker 2: Oh jes with Paul rat a lot.
Speaker 3: But I I mean, we have talked about it, just
Speaker 3: because I'm really frustrated that my son's needs aren't being met,
Speaker 3: but we're meeting the needs of this transgendered child. Because
Speaker 3: I feel like everyone wants to walk on eggshells. They
Speaker 3: don't want to get two. They have to follow these
Speaker 3: Colorado laws. It's just a really sticky situation.
Speaker 1: Tell people about the Colorado law you're referring to, and
Speaker 1: that the school's sighting here.
Speaker 3: So they're citing a law that teachers have to address
Speaker 3: the student by him or whatever pronouns they want, or
Speaker 3: there could be lawsuits involved. I know Title nine is involved,
Speaker 3: but I have heard that Lehman has not followed suit
Speaker 3: with that quite yet. But I just think it's a
Speaker 3: sticky situation dealing with someone in a minority group that
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't want to offend anyone, and it's
Speaker 3: just really hard and these kids are so little.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And is the school telling you, Caitlin, that
Speaker 1: under Colorado law or maybe they're saying federal law, that
Speaker 1: they have to allow a boy to dress up as
Speaker 1: a girl.
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically he has a right to do that.
Speaker 1: Fascinating it. Well, I hope we can get somebody from
Speaker 1: the school on because I know historically at least at
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court level. And I'm not claiming to know
Speaker 1: the legal answer here, but at the Supreme Court level,
Speaker 1: they've given schools lots of leeway when it comes to
Speaker 1: uniform requirements, dress codes, things like that, in order to
Speaker 1: avoid disturbance and allow focus on the educational process. So
Speaker 1: how many chas know that I.
Speaker 3: Know that Housepell twenty three thirty nine, the non legal
Speaker 3: name change though has been referenced. I'm not in tune
Speaker 3: with all of those, but I know that those have
Speaker 3: been thrown around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wondering about the clothing piece of this, which
Speaker 1: it sounds like is the bigger problem according to a
Speaker 1: bunch of parents I've heard from. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, Kitlen, if the school does not change
Speaker 1: on this, how many parents, how many students do you
Speaker 1: think they'll lose?
Speaker 3: I mean, that's hard to say. Based off the call,
Speaker 3: there was a lot of frustrated parents, and I even
Speaker 3: heard from a gentleman that moved his kids from homeschool
Speaker 3: to Lehman Academy based off of their values, and he
Speaker 3: was just really upset that this has happened and he's
Speaker 3: moved his kids from homeschool and it's hard to give.
Speaker 2: You a number.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean I would say there's a good
Speaker 3: amount of people that would pull their kids.
Speaker 1: Well, I really appreciate your time today, Caitlyn. As you
Speaker 1: know from our off air conversation, I've had so many
Speaker 1: parents call and want to come on air, which I
Speaker 1: can tell you almost thirty years of doing this, that's
Speaker 1: very unusual, right, And so we're going to have more
Speaker 1: parents on air tomorrow. Hopefully Lehman Academy of Excellence will
Speaker 1: have somebody on as well. But thank you. Thanks for
Speaker 1: letting me know about this and your willingness to spend time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you so much for clevering and we really
Speaker 3: appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, you take care you too, Bye bye bye,
Speaker 1: And again that's Kaitlin. It's remarkable, Ryan. I've never had this,
Speaker 1: and you know, we've had big issues involving schools, get
Speaker 1: a lot of national press and we help right wrongs
Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. But there's an explosion of
Speaker 1: concern and I get it, and it's not aimed at
Speaker 1: this poor little kid. What is he a first grader
Speaker 1: parent who's now going to school and he's dressed up
Speaker 1: as a girl, and it's got to be really hard
Speaker 1: on him. So none of this is being critical of
Speaker 1: this little first grader. It's just wait a second. Parents
Speaker 1: of all the other first graders, they've got to have
Speaker 1: a right to protect their child, not from this six
Speaker 1: year old, but protect their child from being exposed to
Speaker 1: all this sexual stuff and this gender confusion stuff at
Speaker 1: such a young age.
Speaker 4: It's an important issue. I would try to encapsulate it
Speaker 4: this way. You don't change the r for everyone else
Speaker 4: to accommodate one person or a very small percentage of people. Plus,
Speaker 4: we've got to call this for what it is, Dan,
Speaker 4: this is Munchausen by proxy for these parents. There's no
Speaker 4: way this student at that age what six, should be
Speaker 4: identifying as the opposite gender.
Speaker 5: That's insane. That's insane.
Speaker 1: Obviously, I don't know anything about the parents except I
Speaker 1: am trying to find a way to reach the parents
Speaker 1: so I can invite them on air, come in studio,
Speaker 1: let's have that conversation. Hey, five five, where's zero five
Speaker 1: eight two? Five to five? So more parents from leaving
Speaker 1: Academy of Excellence will join us tomorrow, hopefully reps of
Speaker 1: the school as well. When we come back again. It's
Speaker 1: spontaneous combustion, so many people calling the show and writing
Speaker 1: the show. They have the label. They have the label
Speaker 1: that's going to cut through everything and help President Trump win.
Speaker 1: The label for Kamala Harris, which so far he has
Speaker 1: not yet perfected. And I've got a couple more of
Speaker 1: my own. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these little kids, come on, they're just first graders.
Speaker 1: Don't force them to have to be confused by this
Speaker 1: sexual stuff at such a young age. That's just absolutely wrong.
Speaker 1: And we're talking about this issue out at Lehman Academy
Speaker 1: of Excellence in Parker and again, I've heard a lot
Speaker 1: of great things about the school. I'm not here hammering
Speaker 1: on the school. And obviously all these parents who want
Speaker 1: to come on the show on this issue wouldn't have
Speaker 1: their kids at the school unless they thought it was
Speaker 1: a great school. But the report, and you just heard
Speaker 1: one parent Kaitlin and many more want to come on
Speaker 1: the show and will tomorrow, is that you've got this
Speaker 1: first grader who's being dressed up like a girl first
Speaker 1: grade boy, and it's just causing a lot of confusion
Speaker 1: for the other little youngsters and consternation for their parents.
Speaker 1: And I get that. And again, I'm not at all
Speaker 1: critical of the little tike who's dressing up like a girl.
Speaker 1: I'm not at all critical of him. I feel bad
Speaker 1: for him. I just have to be able to protect
Speaker 1: their kids, not from this little boy, but from this confusion.
Speaker 1: And they should not have to be subject to that.
Speaker 1: And I want to talk to the folks in Lehman
Speaker 1: I've called over there. Imagine what they're going to tell
Speaker 1: us is man, we're with you. We don't like it either,
Speaker 1: but our hands are tied, and whatever the truth is,
Speaker 1: we want to get to the bottom of it because
Speaker 1: these little kids shouldn't have to have that kind of
Speaker 1: confusion foisted upon them. Let's go to the phone lines,
Speaker 1: which are truly explosive. Jay and wheat Ridge, you're on
Speaker 1: the dan kaplis show welcome in the dam.
Speaker 2: So instead of Kamala Harris, I think we should be Cabala.
Speaker 1: Farris, Kabbala the cabal Okay, Hey, good one man, thank you,
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And we're writing all these down as we
Speaker 1: go along, because unusual for President Trump, he's usually the
Speaker 1: master labeler, but hasn't quite hasn't quite nailed it yet
Speaker 1: in this particular race. So you got Kabbala on the
Speaker 1: list there, my friend, the cabal that overthrew the democratically
Speaker 1: elected nominee and installed Kamala. Harris, though I think she
Speaker 1: was kind of forced upon the cabal. David Parker, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show.
Speaker 2: Has everybody offered up hallo.
Speaker 1: Harris, Hollow Harris.
Speaker 2: Interest upstairs in the head, Huh Harris fire.
Speaker 1: Dave, appreciate the call. Appreciate the call, Hollow Harris eight
Speaker 1: five five for zero five eight two five five the
Speaker 1: number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 4: It takes me to a moment. I'm going to get
Speaker 4: this sound that you sent to me, Dan, but real quick.
Speaker 4: From Trump's press conference earlier today in New Jersey, he
Speaker 4: was asked, you know, if it's a good idea to
Speaker 4: be attacking Kamala personally with the insults, et cetera. And
Speaker 4: he made a great point, I thought, which is, you're
Speaker 4: talking about people that wanted to put me in prison,
Speaker 4: and you want me to talk nice about them.
Speaker 1: Well, right, And let's face it, the left, any legitimate
Speaker 1: criticism of Kamala is going to be taken as a
Speaker 1: personal insult, right, yeah, I said, that's just the paradigm.
Speaker 4: They said, well, his point, also, not just with the prosecution,
Speaker 4: was that.
Speaker 5: She's not exactly saying nice things about me.
Speaker 1: Okay, y's you know, and here's what I'm about, Okay, weird,
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm about. I'm about saving America. And that's
Speaker 1: what we have to do in this race. I mean,
Speaker 1: Trump's victory in sixteen literally saved American democracy because that
Speaker 1: he lost. You know, instead of having ACB and Gorsicch
Speaker 1: and Kavanaugh, you'd have three activist liberal judges and your
Speaker 1: voteou mean nothing because every major policy issue would be
Speaker 1: decided by the US Supreme Court under the guise of
Speaker 1: a newly found constitutional rights. So democracy was saved, and
Speaker 1: the same thing is at stake here in an even
Speaker 1: bigger and more obvious way. I mean, it's so clear
Speaker 1: right now that that you know, Kamala Marx is clearly
Speaker 1: you talk about dog whistles. This ain't no dog whistle.
Speaker 1: This is a foghorn to socialists. And there are a
Speaker 1: bunch there are a bunch of people out there. I
Speaker 1: can't tell you the exact number. Some polls say twenty
Speaker 1: to thirty percent who want America to be a socialist nation.
Speaker 1: She is appealing to them directly, I believe my opinion,
Speaker 1: appealing to them directly for their support. And when she
Speaker 1: starts talking about these price controls, she's already gone right
Speaker 1: to the core of Marxist belief when she's come out
Speaker 1: and says she is for equal outcome, not talking about
Speaker 1: guaranteed equal opportunity. She's talking about guaranteed equal outcome. And
Speaker 1: then so many other things she says which are just
Speaker 1: so opposite what has made America great and what America
Speaker 1: stands for. So I've got no problem with Trump calling
Speaker 1: her out on that. Now you want the word, You
Speaker 1: want the word to be respectful enough. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be turning off voters. But it's got to cut
Speaker 1: through the noise. It's got to be actually, it's got
Speaker 1: to be fair. What is it? I ask people if
Speaker 1: they can come up with something. I don't have a
Speaker 1: good one yet that captures I think her biggest vulnerability
Speaker 1: and the reason that she make the biggest reason she
Speaker 1: will lose, and that is weakness. She is weak in
Speaker 1: so many obvious ways. And you have this clear contrast
Speaker 1: between Harris Week Trump strong in a dangerous world, and
Speaker 1: I think in the end it's going to be a
Speaker 1: clear choice for Americans. Patrick and Pueblo, you're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 6: Welcome him. Well, I've got two suggestions. I think Kamala
Speaker 6: calamity would work. Pamala catastrophe.
Speaker 1: That's good, Thank you, Patrick, Thank you, Patrick Texters. Kamala
Speaker 1: the con hair brained Harris.
Speaker 7: No, no, that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, you're not here, brain.
Speaker 7: He can't go down that road.
Speaker 1: No, no. And I do think it's a mistake. I
Speaker 1: think it's a mistake for anybody, including the president, President Trump,
Speaker 1: to be saying that she's unintelligent.
Speaker 4: He said that today, he said he had no respect
Speaker 4: for her, doesn't have respect for her intelligence. He was
Speaker 4: kind of on fire. And the way he was saying it, Dan,
Speaker 4: it's like he needs to draw this contrast.
Speaker 5: I think that's part of.
Speaker 1: Doing it right. What I'm wondering though, and listen, I
Speaker 1: understand is the words are coming out of my mouth.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it, and I don't have
Speaker 1: the perfect way to put it. But the problem is
Speaker 1: when you say something like unintelligent, it can it can
Speaker 1: carry other connotations. It can turn off a lot of
Speaker 1: voters clearly, clearly she has I'm not going to call
Speaker 1: her unintelligent, because I don't believe she's unintelligent. I think
Speaker 1: she has major processing issues. I think that she's not
Speaker 1: able to process. She's not able to, she's not able to,
Speaker 1: not street smart, well all of that, but I mean unintelligent.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's fair. Ecua, she has major processing
Speaker 1: issues which make her incapable of doing this job. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Another big reason Trump is going to win. You know
Speaker 1: he talks about this wall. I always say, let me
Speaker 1: know how hi it is. If it's twenty five feet,
Speaker 1: then I'll invest in the thirty foot ladder factory. That's
Speaker 1: not how you stop this, and I get it. Vps
Speaker 1: normally don't matter. But Americans cannot and will not ever
Speaker 1: see Tim Walls as a credible president. And that is
Speaker 1: really going to drag down Harris, who has a lot
Speaker 1: of other problems to begin with. Eight five five four
Speaker 1: zero five eight two five five text d an five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: We didn't even.
Speaker 1: Promote this topic. Our lines are full of folks who
Speaker 1: who want to help the president by nailing the label
Speaker 1: for Kamala Harris. The President normally a genius at that,
Speaker 1: but he struggled with the right one for her. So
Speaker 1: we'll get back to that in a second. Really happy
Speaker 1: to have Christy Burton Brown with US school board candidate,
Speaker 1: as you know, but also Christy here to talk about
Speaker 1: the governor calling for a special session on property text relief. Christy,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2: Thanks Dan, good to be with you.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: And before we get into the special session stuff, how's
Speaker 1: the campaign going. How can people help you on that?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Really well, actually, thank you. Since I'm in a pretty
Speaker 2: heavily Republican district, thankfully it freed me up to also
Speaker 2: focus on all these ballot measures coming down in Colorado
Speaker 2: and just get around and talk to people about ale.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so tell us about that and the governor
Speaker 1: calling the special session. What's your take?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so my work with Advanced Colorado it's actually I
Speaker 2: think the special session is a really good thing, four people,
Speaker 2: because behind the scenes has been negotiating this deal with
Speaker 2: the Governor's office. Honestly, as you know, the legislature didn't
Speaker 2: want to fully deal with property taxes in the regular session.
Speaker 2: The bill they offered didn't give people the release they needed.
Speaker 2: If this bill in the special session passes, which we support,
Speaker 2: it had some key features from our ballot measures in
Speaker 2: it and would save taxpayers and two point six billion
Speaker 2: dollars on their property tax bill. LUs hap it for
Speaker 2: the future, which would prevent these spikes from happening.
Speaker 1: So are you guys responsible for Polist calling the session? Christy?
Speaker 1: Do I still have you? Oh truslightly lost to me
Speaker 1: to take two? Yeah? Yeah, so we'll get back to
Speaker 1: Christy Ran. Did you realize President Trump is pulling ahead
Speaker 1: of where he was in both twenty twenty and twenty sixty.
Speaker 1: I did know that at this time this time in
Speaker 1: those races. Yeah, that does hire a favorability. And think
Speaker 1: about that. That's after a phenomena that we've never seen before,
Speaker 1: which is he beats one candidate, beats him so badly
Speaker 1: that candidate is deposed months before election day, they install
Speaker 1: a new one that the entire media gets behind. The
Speaker 1: new candidate won't talk to anybody, won't give any interviews.
Speaker 1: In fact, the new candidate in her VP interviewed each
Speaker 1: other yesterday and released the tape, and so in the
Speaker 1: face of all that, he's still polling better than they
Speaker 1: used to, and I believe is, in fact, probably in
Speaker 1: their internal polls, still ahead in this race. Christy, do
Speaker 1: we have you back? Okay, We'll keep working on that
Speaker 1: modern modern technology. Let's go. Well, Ryan's telling me we
Speaker 1: have her, but her line is not flashy. Okay, you
Speaker 1: want me to just talk to Christy or pick up
Speaker 1: the line. Okay, I'll pick up the line and.
Speaker 2: Christy, Hey, I'm here.
Speaker 1: This is I am just amazed by modern technology. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'll ever be able to master it.
Speaker 1: But so, what I was asking you when the cell
Speaker 1: tower one sells on us is so, are you guys
Speaker 1: then behind this special session because it sounds like you
Speaker 1: support it and you support the legislation that you hope
Speaker 1: gets passed here.
Speaker 2: Yes, we are. It is It is a deal that
Speaker 2: we reached with the governor and the legislature because they
Speaker 2: are very they're very scared of the ballot measures and
Speaker 2: they do not want them to pass. And so basically
Speaker 2: we had offered them a deal in the regular session
Speaker 2: and said, if you want to provide enough property tax
Speaker 2: release to people and put a cap on their full
Speaker 2: property tax bill will make that deal, and they wouldn't
Speaker 2: during the regular session. Now they're very afraid of these
Speaker 2: ballot measures that have a lot of support from people
Speaker 2: around the state, so they've come back to the table.
Speaker 2: This would be the sill that we've agreed on with them.
Speaker 2: Would be a guaranteed win for taxpayers, a permanent cap,
Speaker 2: permanent cut, protected by tabor. And as you know, Dan,
Speaker 2: sometimes it's better to take the guaranteed win. You know
Speaker 2: you can get.
Speaker 1: Well, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Right, So what
Speaker 1: is this going to mean for the typical Coloraden First,
Speaker 1: congrats on the w but what's it going to mean?
Speaker 2: Well, what it will mean is that your property tax
Speaker 2: bills are actually going to go down next year. As
Speaker 2: of right now, they're set to go up again, even
Speaker 2: after the thirty percent spike. So if this bill does
Speaker 2: pass and them keep up their end of the bargain,
Speaker 2: people will see a lower property tax bill next year,
Speaker 2: and their property taxes will be capped. It's a five
Speaker 2: point two five percent caps for local governments and a
Speaker 2: six percent cap for school districts. That half of the
Speaker 2: cap was completely missing from the bill. Earlier this year.
Speaker 2: So that's a significant win for people to lower their bill.
Speaker 1: Now, peace through strengths. Great job and Advance Colorado obviously
Speaker 1: talking caps major feather in its cap. So how do
Speaker 1: people learn more about this? How do people follow advance?
Speaker 1: Follow you all that good stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll say, like, credit honestly to Michael Fields.
Speaker 2: He's been he's our president and he's the one who
Speaker 2: has been negotiating this deal. People can find out more
Speaker 2: about the property tax issue and our work by going
Speaker 2: to Advanced Colorado dot org. And then i'd say follow
Speaker 2: us on Twitter. We're going to be talking a lot
Speaker 2: about it through the special session and making sure that
Speaker 2: the Democrats actually are holding to their end of the deal,
Speaker 2: like we are happy to still go to the ballot
Speaker 2: and run these measures if they don't hold up their
Speaker 2: end of it in the special session.
Speaker 1: Well, great work, and I think your victory has and
Speaker 1: advanced Colorado and Michael's I think it has an impact
Speaker 1: hopefully beyond even this major major issue. And that is
Speaker 1: just letting people know that, hey, wait a second, you
Speaker 1: know there's still a lot of people in the state
Speaker 1: who are with us on the issues. They may want
Speaker 1: to you know they may want to vote against everything
Speaker 1: in a red Jersey, but they're still with us on
Speaker 1: a lot of these big issues. So there's still hope.
Speaker 2: There, absolutely, and I think there's always hope when you
Speaker 2: see that a conservative group can make the Democrats come
Speaker 2: back to work at the Capitol and say, you know what,
Speaker 2: you didn't give people enough tax relief. You've got to
Speaker 2: do it because the people are with us, and you're right,
Speaker 2: that's worth it for people.
Speaker 1: That is beautiful. Well, congrats and appreciate you spending time
Speaker 1: with us today.
Speaker 2: Thank you Dan so much.
Speaker 1: Thank you. That is a Christy Burton Brown. Nice win there.
Speaker 1: Good to get the backstory. Ryan. I'm not giving up
Speaker 1: this ghost because I know that there are many, many,
Speaker 1: many many people within the Democratic Party establishment who know
Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris made the biggest political mistake in modern
Speaker 1: American history and picking Walls as their VP, and they
Speaker 1: have not given up on dumping him before the end
Speaker 1: of that convention next week. Now, will they succeed in that,
Speaker 1: Probably not at this point, right, And let's hope they
Speaker 1: do not succeed in that because we need him on
Speaker 1: that ticket. But here's the headline on CNN, right, Now,
Speaker 1: if you were watching CNN, which hopefully you're not, because
Speaker 1: hopefully you're just paying attention to this show, as I
Speaker 1: know you are. Here's the headline Waltz's two thousand and
Speaker 1: six campaign falsely claimed DUI charge wasn't true. Oh here's
Speaker 1: another headline. Oh yeah, and then they've got a series
Speaker 1: of headlines. Oh how about this one?
Speaker 6: E huh?
Speaker 1: This headline which is up against a mugshot of Waltz
Speaker 1: during his DUI arrest, and not a very flattering mugshot.
Speaker 1: Waltz's two thousand and six campaign made many false claims
Speaker 1: about dui arrest.
Speaker 8: So why are they going after Waltz today? It's an
Speaker 8: interesting question, Yeah, because I don't think there's a clean
Speaker 8: way to get him off the ticket when you're already
Speaker 8: dealing with so many very and the equation for the
Speaker 8: Democrats as it is, they don't need any more instability.
Speaker 8: They've got to kind of close ranks here, Dan, If
Speaker 8: I'm objectively analyzing the race any more, discord or throwing
Speaker 8: people overboard, and I think people are going to stop
Speaker 8: taking them seriously at all.
Speaker 1: Well, but at this point we know one thing for sure,
Speaker 1: right starting the show today is Suddenly, as of today,
Speaker 1: the Cabal Kamala Harris realize that she is on a
Speaker 1: trajectory to lose. That's why today she reversed herself. Within
Speaker 1: a week when she said no September ten debate with
Speaker 1: trumpets all show commit to today, she reversed herself and
Speaker 1: committed to an October debate. She would only do that
Speaker 1: if she concluded that she's on track to lose, so
Speaker 1: she will need that October debate. So yeah, maybe they
Speaker 1: have not given up on getting rid of walls. Well
Speaker 1: let's hope they don't get rid of them, because that
Speaker 1: is a gift to us that keeps on giving and
Speaker 1: we need Pennsylvania eight zero five eight two five five.
Speaker 1: I want to come back. I want to update you
Speaker 1: on that issue with the charter school, but also line's
Speaker 1: still on fire with people trying to get just the
Speaker 1: right label for Kamala Marx. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2: You've spoken very passionately about how God saved your life,
Speaker 2: and I'm wondering have you put much thought into.
Speaker 6: Why God saved your life?
Speaker 5: As in for what purpose.
Speaker 6: Has even shielding and protecting you.
Speaker 9: So I don't know if you heard the question you've
Speaker 9: spoken about God saving your life, that I've spoken passionately
Speaker 9: about it and something happened because that was a miracle.
Speaker 9: I never looked that way. The audience was massive, and
Speaker 9: it was in front of me. I never have that
Speaker 9: particular graph. That was a graph on as you all
Speaker 9: know now that it's very I think everyone knows it
Speaker 9: very well. But it showed the great numbers on illegal immigration.
Speaker 9: It was the lowest point we've ever had, and it
Speaker 9: was one that I used less than twenty percent of
Speaker 9: the time. It's always at the end of the speech,
Speaker 9: not at the beginning of the speech, and it's always
Speaker 9: on the left side, not the right side. And yet
Speaker 9: for some reason I called it. It's not on a teleprompter.
Speaker 9: I do things largely without a teleprompt, diffrankly because it's
Speaker 9: hard to hold an audience if you're going to go
Speaker 9: for an hour and a half or two hours reading
Speaker 9: a script. And I just talked about it, and I
Speaker 9: moved to my right, turned sharply to my right, ping,
Speaker 9: And if I didn't do that, I'm.
Speaker 5: Not here with you.
Speaker 9: So yeah, God has something to do with it. It's
Speaker 9: a miracle and God had something to do with it,
Speaker 9: and maybe it's we want to.
Speaker 5: Save the world.
Speaker 1: This world is going down. This world is going down.
Speaker 1: So yeah, get your take on that. Eight five five
Speaker 1: four zero five eight two five five the number. I
Speaker 1: do personally believe. Obviously none of us can prove any
Speaker 1: of this, but I do personally believe that, Yes, I
Speaker 1: do think God intervened here to save Trump's life. And
Speaker 1: and then there's always the fair question about, well, then
Speaker 1: why didn't God intervene to save this innocent person or
Speaker 1: that is an innocent person? And hey, those are very
Speaker 1: fair questions. Be We're just not capable as humans of
Speaker 1: fully understanding all of that, my lord. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was only like what Ryan a little over one hundred
Speaker 1: years ago, we didn't even know how to build a car, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, are a lot of things we're just not
Speaker 1: capable of fully understanding. But we do know God does
Speaker 1: intervene on occasion, that's obvious, and so I do think
Speaker 1: God intervened here. Now, did he intervene because he wanted
Speaker 1: to save Donald Trump himself for the sake of Donald Trump?
Speaker 1: Maybe did he intervene because he wanted to spare America,
Speaker 1: which is the best hope for freedom in the world,
Speaker 1: from the absolute horrific convulsion that would have occurred if
Speaker 1: the leading candidate for president had been violently taken out
Speaker 1: after all of the horrific things that you know, the
Speaker 1: opposing political party has been doing to him. America was
Speaker 1: saved from horrific upheaval by that miracle that day. You know,
Speaker 1: was Trump saved because He's going to go on now
Speaker 1: to do great things to protect more innocent life as
Speaker 1: he saved so many already, to bring more, much more
Speaker 1: peace to the world that has been lit on fire
Speaker 1: because of the weakness of Joe Biden and his administration.
Speaker 1: I could see every reason to believe that that, hey,
Speaker 1: that may be why Trump was saved. Not an endorsement
Speaker 1: of everything Trump has ever done in his life, but
Speaker 1: you look throughout history. And I don't claim to be
Speaker 1: a theologian. You know, my four years high school in
Speaker 1: the seminary were more about you know, going out and
Speaker 1: feeding the poor and things like that. I don't claim
Speaker 1: to be a theologian, but I do know this that
Speaker 1: God historically has worken through broken people other than Jesus himself,
Speaker 1: who obviously was divine as well as having the true
Speaker 1: human nature. God almost always works through broken people, so
Speaker 1: Trump would fit that biblical profile. And there's no doubt
Speaker 1: that he brought much more peace to the world through
Speaker 1: his strength. And certainly when it comes to religious liberty,
Speaker 1: which is something that I would humbly guess God cares
Speaker 1: a lot about because all the thing with God, right
Speaker 1: is he gives us this great freedom of choice. I mean,
Speaker 1: he could just make us believe in Him and worship
Speaker 1: and him everything else, but that's not the point. The
Speaker 1: point is we get this freedom of choice, and for
Speaker 1: that freedom of choice to matter, we have to have
Speaker 1: religious liberty. And we're in a world right now where
Speaker 1: that's being squashed all across the globe. In many cases,
Speaker 1: horrific violence, particularly against Christians, doesn't get any press because
Speaker 1: it's Christians. And here in America you have a political
Speaker 1: party that's taken over by secular radicals who have really
Speaker 1: separated themselves from the many Democrats who are faithful people,
Speaker 1: and those radicals are out to squash religious life liberty
Speaker 1: in this country and they have an open hostility towards Christianity.
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump's been very protective of religious liberty. So
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent could see God saving Donald Trump
Speaker 1: for the purpose of Donald Trump, then, you know, saving
Speaker 1: the world and protecting America. And I think it's now,
Speaker 1: do I know that's what happened?
Speaker 3: For sure?
Speaker 1: How could I have just one guy? I'm a speck
Speaker 1: of sand on a vast beach. But that all makes
Speaker 1: perfect sense to me, and it would fit a biblical
Speaker 1: pattern as I read the Bible, and so I come
Speaker 1: back to but you know what, you look at this
Speaker 1: and you look at God and what He's told us,
Speaker 1: and the whole point is, okay, man, you know what
Speaker 1: I will. I will do my part. I'll put you here,
Speaker 1: I'll give you this freedom. I'll intervene every now and
Speaker 1: then just to try to set things straight. But in
Speaker 1: the end, you got to do it. You got to
Speaker 1: do it yourself. That's how you got hands, that's how
Speaker 1: you got feet, that's how you got eyes, that's how
Speaker 1: you got a brain. You've got to go choose to
Speaker 1: take advantage of everything you've been given and then take
Speaker 1: it across the finish line. So I think it's been
Speaker 1: teed up right now, and it's our choice. Do we
Speaker 1: take it across the finish line, or do we now
Speaker 1: elect people who are determined to continue that hostility toward Christians,
Speaker 1: continue to try to suppress our religious freedom, continue to
Speaker 1: invite violence here and around the globe through the weakness.
Speaker 1: It's our choice, Brian, great job, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1: Appreciate everything you do. Kelly as well. I hope you
Speaker 1: join us tomorrow. Many more parents want to come on
Speaker 1: from that charter school in Parker to talk about that
Speaker 1: situation and much more on The Dan Kapli Show.
