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: give 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 watching the
Speaker 1: national nervous breakdown from the left, which is a great
Speaker 1: service to this country because then a lot fewer people
Speaker 1: have vote Democrat in the future. But Ryan, it has
Speaker 1: not even come close to its apex because what's coming next.
Speaker 1: They're going to have to sit there and watch Donald J. Trump,
Speaker 1: President Trump, receive the Nobel Peace Prize, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is going to be such a beautiful thing to behold.
Speaker 1: That should be the final blow, right, there should be
Speaker 1: like literally nothing left of the left after that get
Speaker 1: given the way we see just their heads exploding across
Speaker 1: the landscape right now.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, beautiful thing. And so we'll open with that.
Speaker 1: We have so much locally to talk about, but come on,
Speaker 1: this absolute meat grinder that's been going on in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: The sheer evil, the raping and pillaging of Ukraine by
Speaker 1: by the evil Vladimir Putin, all of which occurred because
Speaker 1: of Biden's weakness and the left's weakness. He didn't go
Speaker 1: in under Trump. Putin didn't go in under Trump, he
Speaker 1: went underd Obama, and then he went in under Biden.
Speaker 1: So it's a perfect example of how weakness leads to war,
Speaker 1: not strength. Weakness and a war that never should have
Speaker 1: happened and should not continue another day because the outcome
Speaker 1: is predetermined. I mean at this point, and we talked
Speaker 1: about this on air days after that war started, there
Speaker 1: should never be an American boot on the ground in
Speaker 1: Ukraine in this war, and if Europe was not willing
Speaker 1: to put boots on the ground, evil Putin would prevail.
Speaker 1: That was always a certainty, and Europe was not willing
Speaker 1: to put boots on the ground. Now, I think America
Speaker 1: should have helped financially in certain ways to point to
Speaker 1: a purpose, but any boots on the ground needed to
Speaker 1: be European, and without European boots on the ground, the
Speaker 1: Ukraine was never despite the heroism of the Ukrainian people,
Speaker 1: was never going to be able to defeat Russia. So
Speaker 1: given that we know where this is going to end
Speaker 1: because Europe won't put boots on the ground, it needs
Speaker 1: to end soon.
Speaker 2: And I hate to see raw evil. It's satanic evil.
Speaker 1: In the form of Putin be rewarded with a single
Speaker 1: inch of Ukrainian soil. But because Europe would not put
Speaker 1: boots on the ground, that was certain to happen. So
Speaker 1: end it now so great to see Trump following through,
Speaker 1: and all indications are it's rolling in that direction, and
Speaker 1: I would expect it's going to happen sooner and later.
Speaker 2: Let's pray that it does.
Speaker 1: Three H three someone three A two five five the
Speaker 1: number text DN five seven seven three nine. I would
Speaker 1: love to get your thoughts on that as well, and
Speaker 1: what the resolution there should look like, because there are
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of moving pieces.
Speaker 2: But so disappointed in Europe.
Speaker 1: And listen, that war never should have happened, and I
Speaker 1: didn't want to see that war get bigger, but I
Speaker 1: sure as hell didn't want to see evil Putin win.
Speaker 1: And if Putin gets an inch of Ukrainian soil, he wins,
Speaker 1: and that's that's horrific. But Europe was not willing to
Speaker 1: put boots on the ground, and so that's once Biden
Speaker 1: allowed this to happen. At that point. Europe being unwilling
Speaker 1: to step up is why evil has been allowed to
Speaker 1: triumph to a point here in the meantime, what do
Speaker 1: we say? I think we saw a lot of heroism
Speaker 1: from the Ukrainian people, so Lensky, we can talk about
Speaker 1: there's plenty of good and there's bad as well, But
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian people talk about tough and talk about heroic
Speaker 1: and talk about fighting for their homeland. I think the
Speaker 1: Ukrainian people deserve better than this happening to them.
Speaker 2: Eight five or zero five eight two five five?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'll keep repeating that awful number for a
Speaker 1: while because we finally switched over to the better number.
Speaker 1: But how how many years have we been doing this?
Speaker 3: Ryan?
Speaker 1: How many years? You're not going to be responding to
Speaker 1: me at all today because you're in a love bubble now.
Speaker 1: Your mind is a million miles from that.
Speaker 4: That's that last part is definitely not true. Kelsey is
Speaker 4: behind the scenes here and.
Speaker 2: Hind the scenes well with me.
Speaker 1: Yeah about from what I can see from sure, you
Speaker 1: guys have started the honeymoon already. I feel like I
Speaker 1: got to close my eyes while I do the show.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I.
Speaker 1: Assume you announced this on your shoul to day toward
Speaker 1: the tail end. Yeah, yeah, Shan and I are engaged. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can tell, Yeah, and I can tell.
Speaker 4: We were just in Arizona this past week and visiting
Speaker 4: her mom and her stepdad and it was a lot
Speaker 4: of fun.
Speaker 2: Now, how did you pop the question?
Speaker 4: It was not like a Dan Kaplis special that was
Speaker 4: iconic for all time, like you did live on television,
Speaker 4: which is the little risky you think it's.
Speaker 5: The boldest move ever.
Speaker 2: I was one noble way from nowhere to live in
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 1: It was or break like Eskimos would have been taunting me, loser,
Speaker 1: get on the ice floe loser.
Speaker 5: So yeah, not an any spoor level proposal button.
Speaker 2: It worked.
Speaker 4: It was new bottom line business, New Year's Eve, and
Speaker 4: I had to coax her to stay awake until midnight
Speaker 4: mountain time. Now, she did fine at ten pm mountain
Speaker 4: time where it was midnight and the ball dropped and
Speaker 4: we're doing okay, yeah, and then she's drifting off like, hey,
Speaker 4: might want to stay awake for this one, and then
Speaker 4: yeah wow wow.
Speaker 6: So begins to wake up and realize what was going on,
Speaker 6: and then I started crying.
Speaker 1: Okay, all I heard is it took about ninety seconds
Speaker 1: to wake up and realize what was going on.
Speaker 2: Then you started.
Speaker 6: Crying, and then I started crying it and be like, oh,
Speaker 6: oh my god. You know, but I think I was
Speaker 6: kind of probably was snoring before.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was what what shoulder?
Speaker 1: That just makes it a better story. But what a
Speaker 1: great moment in life it really was. And then were
Speaker 1: you like, right back to sleep or oh.
Speaker 6: God, no, I didn't sleep? Thrust and I he.
Speaker 2: Curged me right up? Okay, family show ye, but no,

Speaker 2: that was. I've got to believe Vera Wanging.
Speaker 4: No, it's probably good, Okay, yeah, yeah, all I'm saying is,
Speaker 4: you know, probably last five deathbed images.
Speaker 1: One of those is going to be Amy in her
Speaker 1: dress walking down the aisle. So the dress is a
Speaker 1: big deal, right, it's it's a whole different look.
Speaker 6: Well, and I'm forty one, I'll be forty two by
Speaker 6: the time we get married, and I've never been married,

Speaker 4: who was a mini Schnauzer and.
Speaker 5: One of my buddies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then she was taking Bruce Wayne the woodle

Speaker 1: ever YouTube. I canna.
Speaker 2: I am all set, all set.
Speaker 6: My two best friends are pranksters. We've been in a
Speaker 6: decade long prank war. I'm not kidding that, thousands of dollars,
Speaker 6: hours and hours we've started.
Speaker 2: I like them all right, but they're great.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so they said they're preparing my toast.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a roast.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it should be, I mean to a point.
Speaker 1: But well, congratulations to both of you. Then, what a
Speaker 1: great way to start the show and us celebrating that
Speaker 1: and hopefully the upcoming ends sooner than later to this
Speaker 1: killing field in Ukraine.
Speaker 2: That never should happen.
Speaker 1: To begin with three or three someone three eight, two,
Speaker 1: five five text d an five seven, seven through nine.
Speaker 2: We'll make it back. Lots to talk about.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about next steps with with this
Speaker 1: reality that you've got John Hickenlooper for reelection in Colorado.
Speaker 1: John Hickenlooper who is pushing a bill to make it
Speaker 1: easier for illegal immigrants to vote. I mean, he's pushing
Speaker 1: a bill. Literally, here's what it talks. This bill would say,
Speaker 1: I has to be hands off illegal immigrants in polling places.
Speaker 2: I mean, so we need to come back.
Speaker 1: Need to tell you the latest on that if you
Speaker 1: want to see the bill itself. Aunt dan Kaplis on
Speaker 1: X and then now want to talk to you about
Speaker 1: a number of other things including Denver now major bond issue.
Speaker 1: What do you think the chances of passage are there?
Speaker 1: But I've got the fix for Denver. They don't want
Speaker 1: to hear it, but it is. It is the brutal truth.
Speaker 1: I got the fix for Denver. You're on the Dan
Speaker 1: Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Talking about the good news.
Speaker 1: President Trump believes that there will be a peace agreement
Speaker 1: soon in Ukraine, and that's good news despite the fact,
Speaker 1: and I think it's horrific that Putin's going to gain
Speaker 1: some territory in Ukraine. I think that's inevitable and it's wrong.
Speaker 1: But given the fact that Biden's weakness allowed this war
Speaker 1: to start in Europe, was not willing to put boots
Speaker 1: on the ground to support Ukraine, that's the inevitable outcome.
Speaker 1: So stop the killing, get it done eight five five
Speaker 1: for zero five A two five five text d An
Speaker 1: five seven seven thirty nine. Dan, is case u al
Speaker 1: screwed up? Or are you no longer simulcasting? They have
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity on.
Speaker 2: I've got to.
Speaker 1: Give Sean a call about that in the next break.
Speaker 1: What's going on there, Ryan, my friend? I know that
Speaker 1: we are still on case col What did Sean do
Speaker 1: to out maneuver us there today?
Speaker 4: Hey Dean, it's probably some kind of satellite issue or
Speaker 4: somebody didn't push a right button or something. So I
Speaker 4: appreciate the listener slash text or bringing that to our attention.
Speaker 4: I've already forded it to our boss on the scene here,
Speaker 4: Dave Tupper, and it is being addressed.
Speaker 2: That is so exciting.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend, and apologies to all of our
Speaker 1: great listeners in Fort Collins and the surrounding area. Dan,
Speaker 1: how about boots on the ground in Gaza slash Middle
Speaker 1: East riv era, Yeah, that is not going to happen.
Speaker 1: You are not going to see US combat forces in
Speaker 1: Gaza that we can be sure of. But we are
Speaker 1: going to see all help break loose, right, I mean
Speaker 1: President Trump, he understands his stock in trade, his strength,
Speaker 1: he doesn't bluff.
Speaker 2: If AMAS does.
Speaker 1: Not get back on track and comply with the terms
Speaker 1: of the ceasefire agreements, then well I expect you'll see
Speaker 1: a lot from Israel come Sunday.
Speaker 5: Two things on that front.
Speaker 4: We saw the condition of those three hostages, and that
Speaker 4: really angered President Trump horrific greatly, should anger everybody. And
Speaker 4: he is angry also. And I agree with him here
Speaker 4: about Hamas peacemealing two hostages.
Speaker 5: Here three there.
Speaker 4: He's saying all of them Saturday by noon or else.
Speaker 4: And I challenge Hamas to test him on that be
Speaker 4: interesting to see if they do. I mean, we know
Speaker 4: what the result is going to be. So we'll get
Speaker 4: to some more texts. We'll get to some calls.
Speaker 1: I do though, if you haven't dialed in you it yet,
Speaker 1: want to call your attention to something really significant. This
Speaker 1: should be a ninety nine to one issue in Colorado.
Speaker 1: We should all agree, no matter where people come down
Speaker 1: on immigration policy, that illegal immigrants should not be allowed
Speaker 1: to vote.
Speaker 2: That would be an.
Speaker 1: Absolute corruption of the American system. Yeah, we have John
Speaker 1: Higgenloopers up for reelection in Colorado and Michael Bennett pushing
Speaker 1: a bill to make it easier for illegal immigrants to vote.
Speaker 1: They're pushing a bill that would say ICE cannot detain
Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant at a polling place at a polling place,
Speaker 1: So that is something hopefully all of Colorado will rise
Speaker 1: up against, because there's no other way to read that
Speaker 1: other than trying to encourage illegal immigrants to vote in
Speaker 1: our elections. And now that they're being so blatant about that,
Speaker 1: so public about that, you know, one has to really
Speaker 1: wonder what's been going on behind the scenes. What has
Speaker 1: been going on behind the scenes with the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: to encourage illegal immigrants to vote.
Speaker 2: If they're willing to be so upfront about.
Speaker 1: It, have they been acting behind the scenes to actively
Speaker 1: encourage it. Yeah, when it gets to the point that
Speaker 1: they're publicly pushing a bill to say ICE cannot detain
Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant.
Speaker 2: At a polling place, what does that tell you?
Speaker 1: Eight five five four zero five eight two five five
Speaker 1: Or you can call a far easier number three oh
Speaker 1: three seven one three eight two five five or text
Speaker 1: dam five seven seven three nine real quick danes.
Speaker 4: Sir Steve Monahan, former candidate for the six congressional District, YES,
Speaker 4: has teamed up with another former candidate in the sixth
Speaker 4: Congressional District, John Fabricatory yes to form an organization that
Speaker 4: would facilitate cooperation between local law enforcement officials and ICE.
Speaker 4: And he has some things to say about the Hick
Speaker 4: Bennett bill that you pointed out.
Speaker 1: Oh wonderful. And I enjoy Steve. I mean, I thought
Speaker 1: he was an excellent candidate. We had a good time
Speaker 1: on air. So we're talking to him at four thirty six.
Speaker 1: That is correct, sir, good because it's very, very important
Speaker 1: that people not.
Speaker 2: Let this rest.
Speaker 1: So please at Dan Kaplis' Twitter you can see the
Speaker 1: actual bill.
Speaker 2: You can see that this isn't me.
Speaker 1: Embellishing anything or interpretation or anything else. It's right there
Speaker 1: in black and white. Send it to everybody you know.
Speaker 1: Let them know this is the real John Hickenlooper. He
Speaker 1: must be defeated in this cycle of vote for Hickenlooper
Speaker 1: is a vote for helping illegal immigrants vote, and we
Speaker 1: should all all be able to agree that should not happen.
Speaker 2: I want to get you some red hot sound.
Speaker 1: And this is fun stuff, right because we get to
Speaker 1: together enjoy the left exposing themselves for who they really are.
Speaker 1: And I know that may sound silly to you. If
Speaker 1: you were born a conservative, you are a conservative, and
Speaker 1: you've had that worldview all along. You're sitting there saying,
Speaker 1: come on, Dan, Obviously people know who the left is,
Speaker 1: and I'm here to tell you no. As a guy
Speaker 1: who is a Democrat for many, many years, you got
Speaker 1: to understand there are so many Democrats who are not
Speaker 1: these far left wackos that you see out there. They're
Speaker 1: just regular people like you and me. They love our country,
Speaker 1: they're patriotic. They've just grown up with this very negative
Speaker 1: view of the GOP and they just kind of accept
Speaker 1: this habit of voting for Democrats. They do not understand
Speaker 1: how crazy, secular, anti faith, anti almost everything good far
Speaker 1: left the current Democratic Party is.
Speaker 2: So it is very.
Speaker 1: Helpful when they see these lefty leaders out there doing
Speaker 1: this kooky stuff. And that starts with exposing somebody like
Speaker 1: hicking Loper and Bennett on trying to pass a law
Speaker 1: to make it easier for illegal immigrants to vote. Actually,
Speaker 1: come on now, if you're an illegal immigrant and you
Speaker 1: hear John Hickyloper is pushing a bill that means ice
Speaker 1: can't touch you when you're at a polling place, what
Speaker 1: other way do you take that other than they want
Speaker 1: you voting and you'll be safe.
Speaker 2: The safest place.
Speaker 1: You can be in America if you're here illegally, is
Speaker 1: at a polling place right under this bill, if they
Speaker 1: get their way. Yeah, so here said this is a
Speaker 1: milder version, but representative I had a pressley at one
Speaker 1: of these pop up kind of I'd call them screen
Speaker 1: therapy sessions the left seems to be having every day now.
Speaker 8: But let me tell you something. I'll take a bit
Speaker 8: of umbridge here. I'll speak on behalf of my colleagues.
Speaker 8: I'm I can say we are all willing to work
Speaker 8: with anyone who's serious about doing the work of censoring
Speaker 8: the American people.
Speaker 1: So censoring the American people. See, they're open about it, now,
Speaker 1: right open about it. It can loper embentett. They want to say,
Speaker 1: no illegal immigrants. I just can't touch you at the
Speaker 1: voting booth, head on over to the polling place and
Speaker 1: now censoring the American people. So I wanted to have
Speaker 1: a little fun with that. Ryan, have you been able
Speaker 1: to successfully stupid question? I know you have never failed
Speaker 1: on one of these. Edit out the F word from
Speaker 1: the other Democrat leader.
Speaker 2: So what we'll do?
Speaker 1: We don't have time before this break because I want
Speaker 1: you to be able to savor it. We've got these
Speaker 1: kind of joint clips of the left. This is a
Speaker 1: congresswoman out there talking about doing very very nasty things
Speaker 1: to Trumpet, intervow some extreme obscenity, which Ryan has bleeped out,
Speaker 1: and then they start one of their famous chants.
Speaker 2: And you know how the left will come up with
Speaker 2: these goofy chants.
Speaker 1: And I have a story to tell you about that
Speaker 1: because one of them was about me. Got my attention.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast if.
Speaker 7: The show.
Speaker 2: Four thirty six Very deep from Ryan today.
Speaker 1: I think he's in one of those moods since he
Speaker 1: publicly announced his engagement to a most amazing young woman
Speaker 1: who's actually on the phones today filling in for Kelly.
Speaker 1: So love is in the air and perfect timing too,
Speaker 1: My goodness. Valentine's stage is what two days away?
Speaker 2: That's true?
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta go find that Fanny May. Have you ever
Speaker 1: had Fanny make candy? No tradition in Chicago to get
Speaker 1: Fannie May on BALENTI second, Oh yeah, no, it is
Speaker 1: phenomenal Hey, let's go to the VIP line. Welcome Steve
Speaker 1: Monahan back to the show. Steve was on a bunch
Speaker 1: when he was running for Congress in CD six. Super
Speaker 1: impressive guy, and here today to talk at least in
Speaker 1: part about this is stunning. This stunning development where hicken
Speaker 1: Looper and Bennett are pushing a bill that would make
Speaker 1: it easier for illegal immigrants to vote, a bill that
Speaker 1: actually prohibits Ice from detaining an illegal immigrant at a
Speaker 1: polling place. So not at all subtle on hick and
Speaker 1: Looper's part. Steve, welcome back to the Dan Kepli Show.
Speaker 1: You can see, by the way, the actual bill. You
Speaker 1: can see the wording verbatim at Dan Kaplis on X.
Speaker 2: How you doing, my friend, Well, thanks.
Speaker 3: For having me on the show. Dan. Appreciate the vote
Speaker 3: of confidence there. It's good be back on. I'm doing well.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hey, for those who maybe didn't get to
Speaker 1: meet you during the campaign, give people a brief sense
Speaker 1: of your bio.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Sure, obviously I ran for US Congress, not the cycle
Speaker 9: but the cycle before for CD six.
Speaker 3: Against against Jason Crow.
Speaker 9: And I've got a military background primarily, and.
Speaker 3: In fact I've just retired from.
Speaker 9: The Navy as a naval aviator and not fly airplanes
Speaker 9: for a living.
Speaker 3: And now we're picking up an initiative.
Speaker 9: To make my home state after I'd stopped moving around
Speaker 9: all over the world Colorado, trying to make a little safer.
Speaker 1: Well, you've got a very impressive military background that obviously
Speaker 1: you don't want to talk about and because you're humble,
Speaker 1: But Steve, tell folks what you're up to now and
Speaker 1: how it ties into this craziness from Hickenlooper and Bennett.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we have an organization called Safe Colorado. And really
Speaker 9: what we're trying to do is, you know, as Bennett
Speaker 9: and Hickenlooper try to use their senatorial influence in the
Speaker 9: state of Colorado and in the national level to sort
Speaker 9: of take a lot of the ability of the American
Speaker 9: people their decision making off the table.
Speaker 7: More.
Speaker 3: You know, we voted for Donald Trump.
Speaker 9: Because we kind of got tired of watching our own
Speaker 9: country get taken away from us and the rule of
Speaker 9: law just be eroded, and not least of which was
Speaker 9: the immigration issue. And kind of what they're pushing is
Speaker 9: one more instance of you know, hey, here we're trying
Speaker 9: to correct an issue.
Speaker 3: Let's tie your hands.
Speaker 9: And what we're trying to do with this is get
Speaker 9: an initiative to get something on the ballot so that
Speaker 9: people of Colorado can have their say. And kind of
Speaker 9: overwhelmingly when you do give them their ability to say,
Speaker 9: they choose common say, I mean almost every time, and
Speaker 9: we want them to say, like, we don't want to
Speaker 9: be a sanctuary state.
Speaker 3: We want a rule of law.
Speaker 9: I mean, we have an immigration law that dates back
Speaker 9: to Bill Clinton, and either you want it or you don't.
Speaker 9: But that's for the US Congress to decide via their
Speaker 9: electorate and not just for arbitrary administration or this you
Speaker 9: know kind of I'll call it feckless state legislature that
Speaker 9: just rams through whatever it feels like. And you know,
Speaker 9: Bennett and Hick and Looper got putting a cherry on
Speaker 9: top here with I mean, I'm not really sure of
Speaker 9: the point is to just to call out the whole
Speaker 9: you know, the point of having a bunch of illegal
Speaker 9: aliens in here, or to foster more fear mongering of
Speaker 9: you know, conspicuously say no polling places.
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually why they would be there to begin with?
Speaker 1: Well, and Steve, Steve Monahan with us right now here's
Speaker 1: what I think their play is. Right, You've got Hickenloper
Speaker 1: and Bennett out there and they're talking about how they're
Speaker 1: pushing this bill because nobody should have ever have to
Speaker 1: be worried on their way to church. And then you know,
Speaker 1: I actually read this bill and I read to the
Speaker 1: very last page, and on the second to last page
Speaker 1: you have this this provision barrier that says ice cannot
Speaker 1: ice cannot detain somebody at a polling place, you know,
Speaker 1: or any place where voting is taking place. So they
Speaker 1: want to come out and say, oh, okay, now let's
Speaker 1: make sure you can't bust people at church. And then
Speaker 1: here's what they're really after, because I think you look
Speaker 1: at this open borders, right, this total madness, is this
Speaker 1: national suicide because along with all the good people come
Speaker 1: so many bad people. And it can only be because
Speaker 1: all these lefties, including Hickenlooper and Bennett, see all those
Speaker 1: people as potential votes, and they're willing to have people
Speaker 1: subjected to all this extra crime so the Democrats can
Speaker 1: get these extra votes. Why else would you have a
Speaker 1: provision like this put into this bill. Ice can't touch
Speaker 1: them at a polling place. We may have lost their
Speaker 1: good friends Steve there. Yeah, okay, hopefully we have Steve
Speaker 1: Monahan back because Steve, I also wanted to ask you
Speaker 1: about at this point whether you have language for this
Speaker 1: ballot measure and so happy you're going the ballot route,
Speaker 1: because I think you're right. I think you know, we've
Speaker 1: had this weirdness in Colorado where anything with the red
Speaker 1: jersey on pretty much gets shot, but people pass a
Speaker 1: lot of conservative ballot measures.
Speaker 2: So I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think if people have a chance to stay on
Speaker 1: a ballot no, hey, hey we want to let probation
Speaker 1: and parle cooperate with ice, et cetera. Stuff like that's
Speaker 1: going to pass. But what what's your measure going to
Speaker 1: look like?
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that that is going to be primarily what
Speaker 9: it is. It's going to be easier to get it
Speaker 9: across the finish line. That's a little bit of the
Speaker 9: dirty secret with with some of the stuff is just
Speaker 9: about initiative on takes a lot of going through committees
Speaker 9: that quite frankly, like you said, have a red jersey on,
Speaker 9: they're looking to kill it or they're looking to make
Speaker 9: it confusing. So some of it's going to be we're
Speaker 9: trying to get it as plain language as we can.
Speaker 9: And some of it is to repeal those bills that
Speaker 9: that you know, prohibit law state and local law enforcement
Speaker 9: from working with federal law enforcement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's our first book. We are going to get.
Speaker 9: It's you know, it's kind of a wishless is where
Speaker 9: it starts for priorities, and we're going to get anything
Speaker 9: in everything that we can all about initiative.
Speaker 3: We are not ruling anything out.
Speaker 9: The overarching theme is we are not a sanctuary state.
Speaker 9: You cannot make that decision unilaterally, and we're going to
Speaker 9: prove it on the ballot this next election.
Speaker 2: And how can people help?
Speaker 9: Yeah, ideally, I mean we're going to look for a
Speaker 9: ton of supporters because it takes a ton of signatures
Speaker 9: and it takes it all yeah, time and effort. So
Speaker 9: we're looking for grassroots as with any campaign, and it's
Speaker 9: the worst and I hated doing it when I was
Speaker 9: running for Congress, but we're going to need money. It
Speaker 9: takes money to get these things across the finish line.
Speaker 9: And you can go to Safecolorado dot org and you
Speaker 9: can contact us there. You can help us there, and
Speaker 9: we do want as much support as we can.
Speaker 3: From anyone, red, blue or independent.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the key, my friend, because as you anticipated,
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be this is going to
Speaker 1: be one of those broadly supported issues in Colorado, right,
Speaker 1: and I think this is a ninety to ten issue
Speaker 1: in Colorado that illegal mgirt should not be able to vote.
Speaker 1: And hey, Steve, thanks for the correct time man, and
Speaker 1: let's stay in touch on this, yes, sir, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. That is as Steve monahans, Safe Colorado is
Speaker 1: the group. If you want to see that actual bill,
Speaker 1: because you may be sitting there thinking, now, Dan, come on,
Speaker 1: you must there must be some interpretation here.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 1: I posted page seventeen of the bill. It's an eighteen
Speaker 1: page bill and they bury it at the bottom. But
Speaker 1: you can see. I think this just confirms, right that
Speaker 1: this is what the Democrats have been all about all along,
Speaker 1: just getting folks in here illegally so they could become
Speaker 1: dem voters. Camped ice, cannot detain, cannot detain somebody here
Speaker 1: illegally at a polling place.
Speaker 2: You can see that.
Speaker 1: At dan Kaplis on X On related notes, my friend, Now,
Speaker 1: when we come back, I don't have time to do
Speaker 1: it justice now in the next minute or so we
Speaker 1: have want to talk about what Pam Bondi, our new
Speaker 1: Attorney General, thank god, is doing in terms of her
Speaker 1: legal action against New York for Sanctuary City and sanctuary state.
Speaker 1: Is that coming to a Colorado near you soon? I'll
Speaker 1: explain what's really going on, because I think the headlines
Speaker 1: are misleading. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Taplas Show Podcastney.
Speaker 2: Who were tifty?
Speaker 1: I think Ryan telling us that his registry will accept
Speaker 1: cash only. You don't want any plays forks anything like that.
Speaker 1: Ryan announcing his engagement today to the lovely, talented, and
Speaker 1: beautifully named Kelsey Currents. Kelsey faith Currents one of the
Speaker 1: great names ever.
Speaker 4: I figured I was marrying a one hundred percent Irish
Speaker 4: woman because I had worked with a one Irish man
Speaker 4: for so long.
Speaker 3: So I is perfect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is absolutely perfect. And the fact you're going
Speaker 1: to take her name.
Speaker 2: Is very well of you. I did I did well.
Speaker 1: I referred to myself as Dan spor for many years.
Speaker 4: Well that's the smart move, But for me, it's there's
Speaker 4: a little bit more on the line, and I don't
Speaker 4: want to put any pressure on her, but my dad's
Speaker 4: lineage depends on me because my brother decided not to
Speaker 4: have kids, and you know, I haven't rolled it out.
Speaker 4: So if we do have a boy at some point,
Speaker 4: well he's going to be a legacy in.
Speaker 5: That regard with that name. So there's a lot of
Speaker 5: pressure on me, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2: I think there's more pressure on Kelsey respectually. Listen.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get any detail here, but Kelsey,
Speaker 1: if you guys had the birds and bees talk yet.
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: And my mom and my stepdad, well it's not really
Speaker 6: my stepdad, but my mom's husband.
Speaker 5: They were I was thirty five when they got married.
Speaker 6: He's not a dad, but they were giving us a
Speaker 6: hard time about, you know, sharing a bedroom in Arizona
Speaker 6: when you're visiting and.
Speaker 2: You do hilarious, No, I slept on the couch.
Speaker 1: Holy well, listen, here's the key to this, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure some folks may want to chime in. Three oh
Speaker 1: three see three eight two five, five, five, seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine This business of like people sharing bedrooms? Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: not a not on my watch? And b oh isn't
Speaker 1: isn't part of the whole deal to sneaking around totally.
Speaker 1: I mean, so you got two bad things going on.
Speaker 1: I think when when the parents just leid people share bedrooms, right,
Speaker 1: uh huh. First, I don't just personally don't think you
Speaker 1: should say it, should let them, But then second.
Speaker 2: You deprive them of the ancient art of it is
Speaker 2: an areaking around. But we're old.
Speaker 5: We are very old.
Speaker 6: Like I think, if I was in my twenties or something,
Speaker 6: you know, maybe it would be that would be funny.
Speaker 4: But like you know, now, Dan, to be fair, you
Speaker 4: have revealed many times on this show your story, well,
Speaker 4: sharing a hotel room with one Amy Spore whilst being engaged.
Speaker 5: I believe same scenario.
Speaker 2: Is the only lie I've ever told on That's.
Speaker 5: What I'm saying.
Speaker 4: You were, Yeah, you were live on the radio having Yeah,
Speaker 4: the ender around that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only live I've ever told on air.
Speaker 1: That fifteen second version of the story is, Yeah, Imy
Speaker 1: and I were engaged and hotel room's very very expensive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, out in LA. So we're out in La.
Speaker 1: And then the night before I tell her, Hey, we
Speaker 1: were out there to play golf together. Right. I had
Speaker 1: covered Rodney King and on weekends I'd go play this
Speaker 1: great public golf course, and I wanted her to come
Speaker 1: out and experience it.
Speaker 2: So we're out there together and I tell her the night.
Speaker 1: Before there's going to be a big earthquake in the morning,
Speaker 1: and so when the earthquake hits, here's what you do,
Speaker 1: and then instructed her how to protect herself. So next morning,
Speaker 1: the earthquake hits, and I'm on air reporting it before
Speaker 1: they reported it in La by the way, I'm reporting
Speaker 1: it on KOA and so Mike Rosen of course.
Speaker 2: So I'm on air.
Speaker 1: Continuously until we head down to Granada Hills and then
Speaker 1: we're reporting live from there. So Mike Rosan on his
Speaker 1: show then says, well, Dan, what did you do with
Speaker 1: Amy when the earthquake hit? So I had to make
Speaker 1: this instant decision. Do I do something I've never done
Speaker 1: before since and lie to my audience, or do I
Speaker 1: protect her honor?
Speaker 2: Oh, And the call was easy.
Speaker 1: I've got to protect her honor, and so I just said, well,
Speaker 1: I went down the hall to her room and made
Speaker 1: sure she was okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, technically you did check.
Speaker 4: On her to see if she was okay, You just
Speaker 4: didn't go down the hall.
Speaker 2: At least, I was too.
Speaker 1: Honest about the fact I lied about that to the audience,
Speaker 1: but I was I had to protect her honor.
Speaker 5: I agree, Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 2: I think she appreciated it very much.
Speaker 5: For your decision, we'd.
Speaker 2: Want anybody to know they shared a room with me
Speaker 2: and been horrible.
Speaker 1: But no, congratulations guys, and the shared room thing obviously
Speaker 1: worked out, and though I guess we won't know for
Speaker 1: another what eight and a half months, four or five
Speaker 1: A two five five text d A N five seven seventh. Sorry,
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about legacy and kids and all
Speaker 1: that a little hot here.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is a fan about to be a bigger
Speaker 1: family show right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Hey, I wanted to let you know this.
Speaker 1: You'll see all these headlines about Pam BONDI bringing charges
Speaker 1: against Kathy Hochel New York, et cetera over sanctuary city,
Speaker 1: and it's a good thing she's acting. But please understand,
Speaker 1: these are not criminal charges, so it's not a case
Speaker 1: where you've got to say the mayor or the governor
Speaker 1: being arrested and thrown in the slammer or anything like that.
Speaker 1: These are civil charges, which are still serious business. And
Speaker 1: we'll continue to follow that story and then see if
Speaker 1: she brings it to Colorado, see if she brings it
Speaker 1: to Denver. In terms of our latest fun installment of
Speaker 1: lefty heads exploding, which is going to help conservatives win
Speaker 1: more and more, let me start.
Speaker 2: With the Democrat congresswoman.
Speaker 1: Democrat congresswoman talking about what they're going to do to Trump,
Speaker 1: and right, Ryan, yes he did.
Speaker 7: I just I've been told I have thirty seconds, so
Speaker 7: I am going to tell you that we do have
Speaker 7: to I don't swear in public very well, but we
Speaker 7: have to Trump.
Speaker 2: Why not stay to be upper.
Speaker 7: Please please don't tell my children that I just did that.
Speaker 1: But let's dig deeper on that. Okay, that's an elected
Speaker 1: congressman from Oregon. So why would somebody, Ryan would say,
Speaker 1: but clown, which is kind of a cool word, a
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper word, right, But I think it's deeper than that.
Speaker 1: Why would somebody deeply humiliate themselves and everybody who voted
Speaker 1: for them by saying that? Because here's what's happening right now.
Speaker 1: And this phrase was given to me by Craig Sibman
Speaker 1: when we co hosted the show. You know, throw smart punches,
Speaker 1: not wild punches. But what's going on right now is
Speaker 1: is the left that they can feel it, they see it,
Speaker 1: they sense it, they feel themselves just just going right
Speaker 1: down the toilet, and they're throwing all these wild punches.
Speaker 1: And as Trump mounts success after success, the punches get
Speaker 1: wilder and wilder, which means Trump's going to be more
Speaker 1: successful and they're going to fail quicker. But that's the
Speaker 1: spin cycle straight down that they're stuck in right now,
Speaker 1: and it's a beautiful thing to bold. It's like Bennett
Speaker 1: and Hickeloper right now coming out and pushing a bill
Speaker 1: to make it easier for illegal immigrants to vote illegally.
Speaker 1: You know, a bill that says ice can't touch them
Speaker 1: in a polling place. You can check it out at
Speaker 1: dan Kaplis on Twitter. I posted the bill and then
Speaker 1: if that wasn't enough, this should do it. If there's
Speaker 1: even one person left in America thinking of voting for
Speaker 1: a Democrat, this will change that. This is another one
Speaker 1: of these pop up wild punch protests that the Left
Speaker 1: is spasmodically doing.
Speaker 2: Now, which side are you? Why side are you all
Speaker 2: on me? Which side are you on?
Speaker 5: Which side are you on?
Speaker 7: We'll fight against h We'll fight mast no way lanscap
Speaker 7: within our wels We'll fight from down to dusk.
Speaker 2: This is for so many reasons.
Speaker 1: This is going to be maybe this the most enjoyable
Speaker 1: stretch of our lives. Politically, I don't think we've lived
Speaker 1: through truly like a golden moment in America.
Speaker 2: You got Trump doing all this great stuff. He got
Speaker 2: the Left imploding in
Speaker 1: Front of everybody's eyes, and in a very funny way,
Speaker 1: when we come back, one of the top five texts
Speaker 1: of all time
