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 never a
Speaker 1: better day to fight for true justice in the American way.
Speaker 2: Fight, Fight, Fight. Glad you're here.
Speaker 3: Hard to believe it's been a year, right, because I'm
Speaker 3: sure you can remember where you were when you got
Speaker 3: the news. Maybe you were watching TV, but it was
Speaker 3: four eleven Mountain time on a Saturday afternoon, so I
Speaker 3: don't know how many people were glued to their sets.
Speaker 3: But everything changed then, right, And what a truly miraculous afternoon.
Speaker 3: So we'll talk about some of the fallout from that.
Speaker 3: We've talked a lot, as you know, about was this
Speaker 3: divine intervention, the President reiterating yesterday that he believes that
Speaker 3: it was. I happen to believe that as well, and
Speaker 3: I think the events that followed certainly support that that belief.
Speaker 3: We'll never know. Hopefully someday we'll know right from the source.
Speaker 3: But in the meantime, you know, all we can do
Speaker 3: is suppose and I think all the great things that
Speaker 3: have happened for America and the world since Donald Trump
Speaker 3: was truly miraculously saved. Whether you believe it was divine
Speaker 3: intervention or coincidence or something else it was, it's not
Speaker 3: scientifically explainablet what are the odds against him turning us
Speaker 3: out at just that moment, But so many good things
Speaker 3: have happened, And conversely, there would have been such a
Speaker 3: disaster for America and the world in so many different
Speaker 3: ways had that assassin succeeded. And I got to ask you, Ryan,
Speaker 3: is there one personal live I can't believe there's a
Speaker 3: single person alive who believes that that would be assassin
Speaker 3: acted alone, who believes it was crooks alone. Have you
Speaker 3: run into anybody anywhere who writes that says that? Well,
Speaker 3: guess is that.
Speaker 4: There's that side of the logical assessment, because why would
Speaker 4: this cast off this young guy that seemed to have
Speaker 4: no friends, that was disconnected, I mean fits a certain profile,
Speaker 4: right of the loan gunman, the loaner Lee Harvey Oswald,
Speaker 4: John Hinckley Junior. These are not well adjusted people socially,
Speaker 4: But then how does he get the access to the
Speaker 4: means the shooting, the training, all that, and then would
Speaker 4: there be a nexus, let's say, between Iran and Thomas Crooks.
Speaker 4: You look at the kid, You're like, this kid's and nobody,
Speaker 4: but they might be taking advantage of that.
Speaker 3: Well, you're right about the profile, right, he fits the profile,
Speaker 3: which means he's the type of person that someone some country,
Speaker 3: some nation state wanting to assassinate the president, you know,
Speaker 3: would approach, maybe intersect with on social et cetera. But
Speaker 3: just the means and ability, you know, to bypass all
Speaker 3: of that security.
Speaker 2: And there was some security there that day, et cetera.
Speaker 3: By the way, the very first time that the the
Speaker 3: Trump campaign I believe head counter snipers was Butler, and
Speaker 3: up to that point, the Biden administration had been refusing
Speaker 3: counter snipers I think, at every other event. But that
Speaker 3: brings us to what Representative Pat Fallon had to say.
Speaker 3: And then I think the conclusion that comes out of
Speaker 3: these facts pretty obvious cut sixteen plays.
Speaker 5: Not only did the Secret Service not share this with
Speaker 5: other agencies, they didn't share it with President Trump's detail
Speaker 5: that Iran was posed a dire threat to President Trump's
Speaker 5: life he should have been receiving at that time because
Speaker 5: it was a very unique circumstance. He was the former president,
Speaker 5: he was a nation state was trying to assassinate him
Speaker 5: for actions he took as president. He was also the
Speaker 5: leading candidate to be the.
Speaker 2: Next president, which he is now. He should have had.
Speaker 5: A security that was commisserate with a sitting US president
Speaker 5: because of the unique nature of who who he was,
Speaker 5: who he is.
Speaker 2: And the threat at that time. Well, that tells you
Speaker 2: everything you need to know. Right.
Speaker 3: If that report is true, and this is based on
Speaker 3: a Senate investigation that the Biden administration didn't tell Trump's
Speaker 3: security detailed their own Secret Service security detail, that Iran
Speaker 3: was actively trying to kill the president, what conclusion can
Speaker 3: you draw from that other than that the Biden administration
Speaker 3: did not want Trump fully protected from that that Iranian threat.
Speaker 3: What other conclusion can you draw?
Speaker 4: Well, Also, Dan, if you'll recall, and I mentioned this
Speaker 4: on my program, the Dan Capli's pregame show here in Denver,
Speaker 4: with that doctor Jill Biden, the first lady the United States,
Speaker 4: had a higher priority security detail than the former president
Speaker 4: of the United States, Donald Trump, actively campaigning against her
Speaker 4: husband obviously a target far more so than Jill Biden
Speaker 4: ever would be and that's to her benefit. But it
Speaker 4: just boggles the mind to think that with as much animosity, vitriol,
Speaker 4: hatred of this man, Donald Trump that was out there,
Speaker 4: that his security detail would be a lower priority than
Speaker 4: the first lady at the United States on that same day.
Speaker 3: Ran Just doesn't this just confirm that what we've been
Speaker 3: talking about all along throughout that campaign, long long long
Speaker 3: before Butler, the Democrats knew they were not going to
Speaker 3: beat Donald Trump. They certainly weren't going to beat Donald
Speaker 3: Trump with Joe Biden. Yeah, I think that just confirms
Speaker 3: all of that.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I am not saying I am not saying for a
Speaker 3: second that the Biden White House sat there and said
Speaker 3: we've got to have Donald Trump killed.
Speaker 2: I don't believe they did that.
Speaker 3: But I think the Biden White House was very very
Speaker 3: aware of that the Iranians wanted to kill him, and
Speaker 3: the Biden White House made a conscious, deliberate, premeditated decision
Speaker 3: to deny Trump the level of protection he needed.
Speaker 2: There's no flaw in that logic.
Speaker 4: Right, Yes, I mean, just the circumstances of what we
Speaker 4: saw play out and what they knew and perceived Donald
Speaker 4: Trump to be as a political threat the Law Fair.
Speaker 4: I mean, let's talk about that part of it, where
Speaker 4: the Biden DOJ went after Donald Trump on myriad fronts,
Speaker 4: including from the sitting Attorney General himself and the Special
Speaker 4: Appointed Council in Jack Smith on behalf of merrit Garland,
Speaker 4: and the various state actors that went after Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Be at Letitia James, be It, Alvin Bragg, be it,
Speaker 4: Fannie Wallace down in Atlanta. I mean, there was this
Speaker 4: nexus of an entire, unified effort. There were consultations with
Speaker 4: a lot of these das at the White House that
Speaker 4: were on the logs. There was a conspiracy and I
Speaker 4: hate used that word because the negative connotations attached to it,
Speaker 4: but they were literally conspiring to derail Donald Trump's candidacy.
Speaker 3: Right, what I'm talking about, I'm talking about this line, right,
Speaker 3: this line between they were out to well, let me
Speaker 3: choose my words carefully when it comes to the Law Fair.
Speaker 3: They were out to destroy him personally. They wanted him
Speaker 3: to die in prison. They were pursuing bogus cases for
Speaker 3: bogus reasons so that he would die in prison. Many
Speaker 3: people would say that a fate worse than death, so
Speaker 3: on that front. Yes, it was targeted, it was premeditated,
Speaker 3: it was deliberate. What I'm saying is I do not
Speaker 3: believe they set out to have him shot in the
Speaker 3: head in that field in Butler.
Speaker 2: They knew that Iran.
Speaker 3: Wanted to kill him, and they made a conscious, deliberate
Speaker 3: decision to deprive him of the full security he needed
Speaker 3: in view of that threat. Correct that that's the distinction
Speaker 3: that I'm drawing. But one way or the other, America
Speaker 3: gets it right. America gets it And all we can
Speaker 3: do right now is just just continue to pray that
Speaker 3: the president stays safe the rest of his life. But
Speaker 3: it brings us back to one of the reasons he
Speaker 3: won among many and one of the reasons that I
Speaker 3: respect him so much personally.
Speaker 2: And I understand he has done some stuff.
Speaker 3: I disagree with over the years, But how many people
Speaker 3: have had the opportunity and then how many people have
Speaker 3: shown extreme physical courage? Certainly the obvious right military police fire,
Speaker 3: But then you get to beyond that world of honor
Speaker 3: who has and Donald Trump is near the top of
Speaker 3: that list because he knew when he decided he gave
Speaker 3: the order to take out Solimani, the Iranian terrorist general
Speaker 3: that he would save a lot of innocent lives, but
Speaker 3: he may very well.
Speaker 2: Lose his own.
Speaker 3: He knew he and his family would be targeted by
Speaker 3: Iran for the rest of their days, and that took
Speaker 3: tremendous physical courage on his part, and then of course
Speaker 3: we saw that in his immediate reaction in the field
Speaker 3: in Butler.
Speaker 2: So anyway, the one thing questioned, I.
Speaker 3: Know we need to hit this break and then we
Speaker 3: have Danielle Jerinsky at four thirty six. The Aurora City
Speaker 3: Council woman, very dynamic, and she wants Amy Padden recalled.
Speaker 3: The new DA out in Rapo. Not to be confused
Speaker 3: with the tremendous prior DA interpos who is my good
Speaker 3: friend and law partner, John Keller, he's our managing partner.
Speaker 3: But the new DA Amy Patten, she wants to recall
Speaker 3: and we'll have Danielle Jirinsky with us at four to
Speaker 3: three six, Ryan, I also want to talk about I
Speaker 3: want to talk about Polus's Bridge to Nowhere.
Speaker 2: And it may not be on people's.
Speaker 3: Radar yet, but it's fascinating in that this project he
Speaker 3: wants as some kind of legacy project. And if this
Speaker 3: is your legacy project some bridge over Broadway that pretty
Speaker 3: much tells her where your legacy is coming in, right,
Speaker 3: But this is.
Speaker 2: The best he can hope for at this point.
Speaker 3: So what's interesting to me and a lot of fun
Speaker 3: is it's divided the left because the Denver Post editorializes
Speaker 3: in favor of it and Kyle Clark at nine News
Speaker 3: is hammering it. So we're gonna have some fun with that.
Speaker 3: Play some of those stories and again that get your
Speaker 3: take on it. And what's so striking to me Ryan
Speaker 3: is the lack of self awareness. And we'll get into
Speaker 3: it as we get to that story. But there's an
Speaker 3: obvious fix for what Polus is trying to accomplish with
Speaker 3: this enormously expensive bridge, but they either don't see it
Speaker 3: or they're not willing to see it.
Speaker 2: So we'll get to all of that good stuff.
Speaker 3: Three or three someone three A two five five the
Speaker 3: number d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to The Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 2: The most loyal guys you will ever meet are.
Speaker 7: The ones who go to work, come home.
Speaker 2: Lay in bed, scroll.
Speaker 7: On their phone, and overthink their entire life while talking
Speaker 7: to the same two friends they've always had. They don't
Speaker 7: need attention from a crowd. They don't chase after every
Speaker 7: woman who smiles at them. They keep their circle small,
Speaker 7: their routine simple, and their loyalty unshaken. These men aren't
Speaker 7: out seeking validation from the world. They're too busy carrying
Speaker 7: the weight of their responsibilities, their dreams, and their unspoken struggles.
Speaker 7: They might not always say much, but their actions speak
Speaker 7: louder than any words ever could.
Speaker 2: They don't entertain distractions because they know the.
Speaker 7: Value of real love, real friendships, and real loyalty.
Speaker 2: So if you have a man like this, don't ever
Speaker 2: take it for granted. He's not just another guy. He's rare.
Speaker 7: He's the type of man love deeply, stand by you,
Speaker 7: and never make you question where his heart truly belongs.
Speaker 7: If you're not following, you will probably never hear my
Speaker 7: voice again.
Speaker 2: But if you congratulations, you're growing every day. Yep, Denzel's
Speaker 2: got it.
Speaker 3: Three or three seven three A two five five the
Speaker 3: number text da N five seven seven three nine. Yeah,
Speaker 3: lot's happening in the world, So jump in anytime. Danielle
Speaker 3: Jorinski will We'll talk to her at four thirty six.
Speaker 3: She wants Amy Padden, the DA in Arapo County, Colorado, recalled.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that. There's always another big story in
Speaker 3: the news. Ryan, on your tremendous program two to four
Speaker 3: Mountain Time Monday through Friday. On six thirty Kitch at
Speaker 3: w Denver, you were talking about a sex offender try
Speaker 3: to kidnap a kid outside of school right who they
Speaker 3: were unable to charge because of competency issues. And we'll
Speaker 3: ask Danielle about that as well. At four three six.
Speaker 3: That was a dramatic pause. You can jump in there
Speaker 3: if you want to.
Speaker 4: Well, it's just there's a lot of unanswered questions here
Speaker 4: based on the reporting at Fox thirty one Digital that
Speaker 4: you are asking that I'm asking that I sent a
Speaker 4: text to George Brockwood, the former DA in the eighteenth
Speaker 4: asking him that.
Speaker 6: I'd love for you to run by John Kellner.
Speaker 4: Which is this guy is a sex offender, he's on
Speaker 4: the registry per Pueblo County. He is mentally incompetent, they
Speaker 4: say to stand trial, so they're going to drop the
Speaker 4: charges Amy Padden in the eighteenth and then what he's
Speaker 4: just released into the wild. He's just released back into
Speaker 4: society where he did captured on video try to apprehend
Speaker 4: this eleven year old from an elementary school playground. I
Speaker 4: don't know how that could possibly be within the realm
Speaker 4: of possible outcomes.
Speaker 2: Well, and I understand why you read the story that way,
Speaker 2: my friend.
Speaker 3: My guess is I would bet y'all hawk that we
Speaker 3: find out the story in the media was incomplete. And
Speaker 3: then because I think what happened here was if they
Speaker 3: could not try him because of confidency, that he was
Speaker 3: then put into mental health not free to leave. But
Speaker 3: we'll clarify that with Danielle Jirinsky at four threes. And
Speaker 3: if it was a case where he was released, as
Speaker 3: you say, into the wild, that would be beyond scandalous.
Speaker 3: But I do believe he's more likely confined right now
Speaker 3: awaiting competency, so he could be put on trials similar
Speaker 3: to the monster up in Boulder who killed all of
Speaker 3: those innocent people, but he wanted to throw this one
Speaker 3: at chip. Is so much happening on the illegal immigration front.
Speaker 3: Right here's Senator Alex Padia from California cut nineteenth place,
Speaker 3: cut nineteen.
Speaker 8: What if I was outside of home, people, because I'd
Speaker 8: like to do some work around the house, not dressed
Speaker 8: in a suit. Would I be a target of ICE
Speaker 8: enforcements under Tom Holman?
Speaker 2: Probably?
Speaker 8: And it's just wrong. It's not just due process rights
Speaker 8: that have become the concern.
Speaker 2: But Rachel.
Speaker 3: True, here's how we know that. We know he knows
Speaker 3: that's not true. If he thought it was true, he
Speaker 3: would have done it. I mean, this is a guy
Speaker 3: who pulled this stunt of barging into that Christie g
Speaker 3: Nome presser in that weird way, so he ends up
Speaker 3: on camera being subdued. So if he really thought he
Speaker 3: could go stand up side a home depot and jeans
Speaker 3: and a shirt like you and I normally dress and
Speaker 3: get contacted by ICE, he would do that. He'd stand
Speaker 3: out there all day to have that dun him. Are
Speaker 3: you kidding me?
Speaker 2: Now? Tom?
Speaker 3: Before I get to Tom home and let me go
Speaker 3: up to Cherry and Fort Collins. You're on the Dan
Speaker 3: Caplis show. Welcome Cherry.
Speaker 9: Hello, Dan. I just wanted to follow up on your
Speaker 9: position that Trump's assassination attempt and was actually divine intervention by.
Speaker 2: God, that he was saving him.
Speaker 9: Yes, for saving him. Well, I don't know if this
Speaker 9: has been brought forward before, but I'd like to point
Speaker 9: out that in the Bible of the Book of Leviticus,
Speaker 9: the ordination of priests included placing blood on the right ear,
Speaker 9: and that symbolized listening for the word of God, putting
Speaker 9: blood on the right thumb, which indicated work in service
Speaker 9: to the Lord, and putting blood on the right toe,
Speaker 9: which indicated walking in God's ways. So one of the
Speaker 9: odds that Trump would be shot in the ear, he
Speaker 9: grabbed his ear with his right thumb in his right hand,
Speaker 9: and his shoes came off, so he may have gotten
Speaker 9: blood on his big toe. And that's a divine intervention.
Speaker 9: But it's very interesting.
Speaker 3: And even more reason to be on the right rather
Speaker 3: than the left. But no, that's fascinating, man, I've never
Speaker 3: heard that. Hey, thank you, thank you for that.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Jerry three or three someone three, two, five, five the number.
Speaker 3: You know what's so interesting about that, Ryan, in terms
Speaker 3: of my belief at least that it was divine intervention,
Speaker 3: is is the way it all came down. Of course,
Speaker 3: I wish Trump had never been harmed in any way,
Speaker 3: but the way it all came down, the fact that
Speaker 3: he was hit, the fact that he had that blood
Speaker 3: on his face, that was such an important part of
Speaker 3: the iconic image. The courage he showed. It just brought
Speaker 3: home the violent reality of it. And we all know
Speaker 3: now in retrospect, though you and I said it the
Speaker 3: monday after that the election was over at that point,
Speaker 3: We've been saying that before that that weekend. But truly,
Speaker 3: I think it'll emerge as one of the most vivid
Speaker 3: moments in American political history ever. I mean, they'll be
Speaker 3: talking about it hundreds of years from now, and.
Speaker 2: As they will this show.
Speaker 4: But Dan, I think back to that moment too, and
Speaker 4: as I watch it, and you get chills going through
Speaker 4: that experience and knowing where you were when it happened,
Speaker 4: but that it would be understandable for any person in
Speaker 4: that position to tuck and run, to hide undercover of
Speaker 4: the Secret Service agents. You just got nicked in the ear,
Speaker 4: your head was almost blown off. Get into the beast,
Speaker 4: get out of there. He reacted the opposite. He wanted
Speaker 4: the crowd to see him. He told interviewers after that
Speaker 4: it was important to him for America that the crowd
Speaker 4: and everybody watching saw him rise up with that fist
Speaker 4: in the air.
Speaker 6: Channing fight, fight, fight. It's just the first thing that
Speaker 6: came to him.
Speaker 4: And I don't know how how many leaders are any
Speaker 4: people in that situation, Dan would have had the temerity
Speaker 4: to react with that kind of boldness and strength.
Speaker 3: Well, I think in your life, the life of everybody
Speaker 3: listening right now, there there's been that moment right that
Speaker 3: has revealed the best.
Speaker 2: Of your character.
Speaker 3: And in these are moments that can't be scripted, planned
Speaker 3: prepared for. It's it's as real as it gets. And
Speaker 3: that moment revealed Trump's true character to America. And it
Speaker 3: wasn't a surprise to me that he had that kind
Speaker 3: of character, but I think it was very, very vivid
Speaker 3: to America. Yeah, and everybody listening right now is probably
Speaker 3: thinking back on the moment in their life, right because
Speaker 3: those moments happen and they're in a flash and yeah,
Speaker 3: remarkable thing. Three or three someone three eight two five
Speaker 3: five text d An five seven seven three nine. I
Speaker 3: don't have time to fire up this bridge to nowhere
Speaker 3: sound on this very expensive bridge Polis wants to build,
Speaker 3: I guess as a monument to himself legacy project Ryan,
Speaker 3: How bad would it have to be when your legacy
Speaker 3: is going to be a bridge over a bunch of
Speaker 3: sadly addicted people and homeless and Broadway. But it would
Speaker 3: be it would be a trip, a very fitting legacy
Speaker 3: for Polis because one of the things we'll talk about
Speaker 3: as we get to the end of his term is
Speaker 3: is my math. Right, it's twenty eighteen to twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six January twenty six, he will.
Speaker 2: Have eight years in office.
Speaker 3: And as I've prepared for this topic and gone through
Speaker 3: every major category that affects Colorado's in real life quality
Speaker 3: of life, Colorado is measurably worse in every single category.
Speaker 3: So I guess that's how you get a bridge over
Speaker 3: homeless people on Broadway as your legacy.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3: You know, for an awful lot of people, the most
Speaker 3: important vote we will ever cast is for our local
Speaker 3: district attorney. Obviously president has so much more power, et cetera.
Speaker 3: But you know, what are the chances our vote's going
Speaker 3: to change that outcome or our vote combined with with
Speaker 3: maybe a batch of another thousand or two. But when
Speaker 3: it comes to your local da, oh my lord, nobody
Speaker 3: else in the entire system has the power to destroy
Speaker 3: with a word that a local DA has or any
Speaker 3: big time prosecutor, and nobody has the power to do.
Speaker 2: Such immediate grave injustice in a heartbeat.
Speaker 3: Now I'm talking about elected officials here. So let's go
Speaker 3: to Danielle Jerinsky, very dynamic city councilwoman from Aurora, high impact.
Speaker 3: I like to call her, and she is calling for
Speaker 3: the recall of Amy Patton, who's about six months into
Speaker 3: her term as DA in a rapo the DA before
Speaker 3: John Kellner a great deal, a great friend. He's now
Speaker 3: with our law firm, his managing partner. But this DA
Speaker 3: a much different approach. Danielle, welcome to the show.
Speaker 10: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. Well, please bring us up to date.
Speaker 3: We've talked a lot obvious, a horrific murder, and it
Speaker 3: was a vehicular homicide murder of Caitlin Weaver, twenty four,
Speaker 3: her whole life in front of her, totally innocent run
Speaker 3: down at ninety miles an hour by a teenager who
Speaker 3: was here illegally, a teenager driving ninety miles an hour
Speaker 3: in a residential neighborhood and then all of a sudden
Speaker 3: gets a plea deal with probations. So take it from there.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so when John Kellner was still the DA, he
Speaker 10: had stated that he was going to seek two years
Speaker 10: in youth corrections. Now in this state, that's still an
Speaker 10: injustice obviously, but there's only so much das can do
Speaker 10: with juvenile But John Kellner had taken a stand and
Speaker 10: was pushing for two years in youth corrections. That's what
Speaker 10: the Weaver family believed, you know, was going to be
Speaker 10: the sentence presented by the DA. And then all of
Speaker 10: a sudden, you know, Amy Patten gets elected. She throws
Speaker 10: that right out the window and gives this guy three
Speaker 10: years probation for essentially the murph.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, we'll get Danielle back, but yeah, it ends
Speaker 3: up getting probation for this homicide.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a homicide.
Speaker 3: When you kill driving recklessly like this, how is it
Speaker 3: any different than recklessly using a gun.
Speaker 2: It is a homicide. And he ends up with probation
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 3: So Danielle, we'll come back and talk about that, and
Speaker 3: then we'll want to ask Danielle again about this story
Speaker 3: that's gone national that she's been quoted in of this, uh,
Speaker 3: these charges against a Solomon Gallagan thirty three after he
Speaker 3: allegedly attempted. I think it's on video right to kidnap
Speaker 3: an eleven year old during recess outside a school in Aurora.
Speaker 3: So we'll get to the bottom of what is going
Speaker 3: on there. There's concern that he's just been released into
Speaker 3: the public following a determination that he was not competent.
Speaker 3: I think it's more likely that he is confined right now,
Speaker 3: but I haven't been able to pin that down.
Speaker 2: For a fact.
Speaker 3: So hopefully Danielle can tell us. Danielle, you are back.
Speaker 3: That is a good thing.
Speaker 10: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 11: I don't know what happened to you.
Speaker 2: No, No, that's no.
Speaker 10: So basically, you know, it's kind of a It was
Speaker 10: definitely a shock to the Weaver family. I have spoken
Speaker 10: to John Weaver, Caitlin Weaver's father, and you know, every
Speaker 10: single one of them got up and spoke at the
Speaker 10: sentencing hearing and obviously very very emotional, and like I said,
Speaker 10: the deal that they thought had been made I was
Speaker 10: going to be made this whole time with John Kellner
Speaker 10: in office two years in youth corrections was thrown out
Speaker 10: the window and the DA recommended three years probation and
Speaker 10: the judge accepted it. And it is just absolutely sickening
Speaker 10: to me. But but you know, one of Amy. I mean,
Speaker 10: I was probably the first victim of Amy Patten. Right
Speaker 10: when she took office, Robin and Icetta had to go
Speaker 10: up and face what she did with the fake medical
Speaker 10: records in my situation, you know, when she she conjured
Speaker 10: up the fake medical records and the burden tumor and
Speaker 10: the cancer and all that. On seventh felay and three misdemeanors,
Speaker 10: she was given three years probation. So so there's a
Speaker 10: trend here with a three years probation and then after that, Uh,
Speaker 10: activists and Laura who are? Who are? They're not just activists,
Speaker 10: they're agitators. They were arrested for disobeying lawful orders by
Speaker 10: the police. I believe in the constitution. I believe in
Speaker 10: your right to peacefully assemble and even protest, you know,
Speaker 10: but I don't believe in your right to riot. I
Speaker 10: don't believe in your right to shut down all lanes
Speaker 10: of traffic, which is exactly what happened on a Sunday
Speaker 10: in Aurora. And the police gave several commands for them
Speaker 10: to you know, open open the streets, open the roadways.
Speaker 10: They disobeyed them. They were arrested and Emmy Padden immediately
Speaker 10: dismissed the charges. Immediately dismissed the charges. Then that brings
Speaker 10: us to Caitlyn Weaver. And then now you're seeing all
Speaker 10: over in the news what's going on with Solomon Gallaghan.
Speaker 10: And I understand there's a House bill, you know, kind
Speaker 10: of tying Amy Patten's hands, that if someone is found
Speaker 10: unfit to stand trial, that the charges must be dismissed.
Speaker 10: But in speaking with John Helner yesterday and he shared
Speaker 10: with me a piece that was bipartisan written by several
Speaker 10: das and opinion piece, the DA would still have the
Speaker 10: ability to hold this individual in custody at the State
Speaker 10: Mental Health Hospital in hopes that they would be able
Speaker 10: to become fit to stand trial. And instead Amy Padden
Speaker 10: says that she's just dismissing the charges and releasing this
Speaker 10: creature back into.
Speaker 2: The city of Aurora.
Speaker 10: So it is for all of those reasons. Amy Padden
Speaker 10: two day, July fourteenth, has been in office six months.
Speaker 10: You cannot recall an elected official until they have held
Speaker 10: office for six months. That is why the recall effort
Speaker 10: is starting this week. I need just a little over
Speaker 10: seventy five thousand signatures and Dane, I won't sleep until
Speaker 10: I get every single one of them.
Speaker 2: Well, please use this show to help get them.
Speaker 3: And I know recalls are brutal, right, how does the
Speaker 3: rest of the process work. But at a certain point,
Speaker 3: no matter how long the odd, I think that people
Speaker 3: need to stand up and have.
Speaker 2: Their voices heard. When when things reach.
Speaker 3: A level where it's no longer a public policy difference,
Speaker 3: it's a profound moral difference. And we see that in
Speaker 3: the Weaver case without any question. And and uh, if
Speaker 3: these reports are accurate that that with Solomon Gallaghan, she
Speaker 3: had the choice to keep him confined in a mental
Speaker 3: health facility and instead she chose to release him into
Speaker 3: the public. If that proves to be true, then I
Speaker 3: think every decent moral person, Democrat, Republican, are unaffiliated, would
Speaker 3: need to back a recall.
Speaker 10: I would think so too. And but you know, we
Speaker 10: only get two hundred words, you know, in our recompetition,
Speaker 10: so so you know, we're doing the best that we
Speaker 10: can to convey how horrible Amy Patten has been in
Speaker 10: just her six months.
Speaker 11: So you know, we're going to make it as clear
Speaker 11: as possible.
Speaker 10: But I am hoping that the people of a Rapahoe
Speaker 10: County really come together and cross party lines and really
Speaker 10: come together for Caitlin Weaver, for the family of this child,
Speaker 10: Uh that that was uh, you know, almost kidnapped from
Speaker 10: their school. Yeah, for the people of Aurora who the
Speaker 10: charges were dismissed against these agitators who shut down all
Speaker 10: lanes of traffic and and backed up cars for miles
Speaker 10: and miles. And and for the fact that Robin Maceto
Speaker 10: was given u three years probation on on seven felonies
Speaker 10: and three misdemeanors for lying to the court and creating
Speaker 10: fake medical records, essentially something that had never been heard
Speaker 10: of in history, you know, something so unreal. She was
Speaker 10: given three years probation. And uh, I am hoping that
Speaker 10: people see across party lines how horrible Amy Padden is
Speaker 10: for a Rapahoe County.
Speaker 3: Now, Daniel, we have about another minute. What would process
Speaker 3: be if if you are able to get these signatures,
Speaker 3: when would the election be And is it a simple
Speaker 3: majority at that point?
Speaker 10: Well, I only have sixty days to get the signatures,
Speaker 10: and then at that point I think I think it
Speaker 10: goes to a vote, and I think it I think
Speaker 10: it is you know, just a simple majority in that vote,
Speaker 10: and then I'm not sure if a special election is held.
Speaker 10: I was told that Amy would have five days it's success.
Speaker 10: If successfully recalled, she would have five days to decide
Speaker 10: if she was going to resign or rerun for her seat.
Speaker 11: So I guess we'll play it by ear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and let's stay in touch and again, feel free
Speaker 3: to come back on at any time. I'm going to
Speaker 3: continue to pursue this Solomon Gallaghan story as well and
Speaker 3: confirm this reporting that I'm hearing that that he was
Speaker 3: just released back into the public. And again, if that's true,
Speaker 3: I would have to think you'll have no trouble getting
Speaker 3: those signatures across party lines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thanks Danielle.
Speaker 3: How do people follow you and get more info on
Speaker 3: this recall?
Speaker 11: Absolutely, you can go to Danielle for Aurora dot com,
Speaker 11: which is it, I mean it is my campaign website,
Speaker 11: but you can subscribe to my newsletter and I will
Speaker 11: be putting this out via my newsletter. You can follow me.
Speaker 10: On social media on X on Facebook, on my council
Speaker 10: page Danielle Jerensky Aurocity Council on X It's just at
Speaker 10: Danny Drinsky and I we will be having a press
Speaker 10: conference sometime this week and watching this campaign to recall her, well.
Speaker 2: Appreciate the time today, look forward to the next one.
Speaker 11: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: That is a councilwoman, Danielle Durinsky. Want to get your
Speaker 3: reaction to this recall effort. When we come back, they
Speaker 3: rarely succeed, but this one is that going to be different.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 12: From the earliest days of our republic, based Eddy, compass
Speaker 12: of faith has guided the strong hands of American workers, builders, and.
Speaker 2: Entrepreneurs like really no other.
Speaker 12: Our country was founded by pilgrims and believers, and every
Speaker 12: generation since Americans of faith have built our communities and
Speaker 12: forged new industries and enriched our country by millions and millions.
Speaker 2: Of people and ways. John D.
Speaker 12: Rockefeller, J. C. Penny Charles, goodyear, True At Kathy and Frankly,
Speaker 12: we have people I could name right in this room
Speaker 12: sitting here that their names are every bit as big
Speaker 12: as that they were inspired by their love of God.
Speaker 12: And now the proud tradition continues with all of you,
Speaker 12: and this group reminds us as a nation that praise
Speaker 12: is a nation that prospers.
Speaker 3: Great to hear from the President of the United States.
Speaker 3: Kind of a proud tradition of that, right until we
Speaker 3: hit the current leftist string of presidents, and my lord,
Speaker 3: I mean truly, the modern Democratic Party, the modern Democratic
Speaker 3: Party would would claim that the Declaration of Independence is unconstitutional,
Speaker 3: right because of its acknowledgment of the simple fact that
Speaker 3: our rights are from God and not from government, and
Speaker 3: its reference to divine providence. Okay, we're willing to go
Speaker 3: out and risk everything, and we know we're probably going
Speaker 3: to lose, but we're betting everything because we believe God's
Speaker 3: going to step in and help us. They'd have all
Speaker 3: that declared unconstitutional. If you accept the modern left's view
Speaker 3: of the US Constitution, the declaration itself would be unconstitutional.
Speaker 2: Right. That's how crazy it's gotten.
Speaker 3: Three h three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 3: d An five seven seven three nine. Ryan is alerting
Speaker 3: me to calls. I am remote today, so I want
Speaker 3: to make sure we get all of our callers in
Speaker 3: as quickly as possible. Oh yeah, yeah, I heard you,
Speaker 3: Thank you, my friend. And now George Brouckler, is he
Speaker 3: going to be able to join us on this Solomon
Speaker 3: Gallaghan story.
Speaker 4: We are reaching out to George. I have sent him
Speaker 4: a text. Kelly's gonna phone him.
Speaker 3: And if you're not familiar with this name, Solomon Gallaghan,
Speaker 3: thirty three years old. He's accused of attempting to kidnap
Speaker 3: an eleven year old during recess at Blackfill's black Forest
Speaker 3: Hills Elementary School in Aurora. And then Amy Padden, the prosecutor,
Speaker 3: in a Rappa ho also goes the story move to
Speaker 3: dismiss the charges against what The New York Post describes
Speaker 3: as a transgender sex offender accused of trying to kidnap
Speaker 3: a boy from a schoolyard. Now, the question that I'm
Speaker 3: trying to pin down is whether the DA then had
Speaker 3: the ability to keep this accused incarcerated, to keep this
Speaker 3: accused locked up in a mental facility rather than in
Speaker 3: a jail. And my belief has always been, Mike and
Speaker 3: I don't do criminal right, I do catastrophic injury work.
Speaker 3: But my belief has always been that prosecutors have that
Speaker 3: alternative and always exercise because as if somebody's two nuts
Speaker 3: to put on trial, they're two nuts to release into
Speaker 3: the public. And yet I'm being told in this case
Speaker 3: from several usually reliable sources that she chose to just
Speaker 3: release this individual back into the public. So I'm still
Speaker 3: waiting to officially confirm that, and if it proves to
Speaker 3: be true, then we're gonna have to have a conversation.
Speaker 3: More important than that, we're gonna have to have a
Speaker 3: lot of community action across party lines, because that would
Speaker 3: just be one of the most unimaginable things a prosecutor
Speaker 3: could do. So just trying to confirm all of that
Speaker 3: three or three seOne, three eight, two, five five text
Speaker 3: d an five seven, seven through nine. But you are
Speaker 3: never wrong, right Ryan, And it's your belief, it's her
Speaker 3: belief that he was released into the public.
Speaker 4: Well, this is again, like you said, it's according to
Speaker 4: reporting from Fox thirty one Digital. I did not find
Speaker 4: an over the year television story that they did on this,
Speaker 4: at least not yet, and there could be updates along
Speaker 4: those lines. But Danielle Durensky seemed to reinforce my interpretter
Speaker 4: of it, which is exactly what you just said, that
Speaker 4: this individual was not fit, not competent to stay on
Speaker 4: trial and therefore they had no other choice but to
Speaker 4: drop the charges and release them.
Speaker 3: Well, right, and that's what we're trying to confirm. Two
Speaker 3: steps there, Right, it was there no other choice and
Speaker 3: if so, if Colorado law has reached that point, that
Speaker 3: law needs to be changed immediately. If there was another
Speaker 3: choice and the DA chose to release him, then the
Speaker 3: people need to release that DA immediately, no matter who
Speaker 3: the DA is, which political party, et cetera. So yeah,
Speaker 3: we're trying to pin all of that down, so well,
Speaker 3: keep you posted on that, and then I really do
Speaker 3: want to get to this this pulpous bridge to Nowhere
Speaker 3: story because I think it's so interesting, and we won't
Speaker 3: have enough time in this segment to play the sound,
Speaker 3: and the sound is a lot of fun because here's
Speaker 3: what's going on. You got Polists nearing the end of
Speaker 3: his eight year run as governor, right, and it's it's
Speaker 3: strange because it's kind of a Michael Bennett thing. Is
Speaker 3: anybody he ever done less with more? I mean, when
Speaker 3: you're given eight years as governor of a state like
Speaker 3: Colorado and you emerge from that eight years with so
Speaker 3: little on the positive side and so much on the
Speaker 3: negative side, you have to ask why, how could that
Speaker 3: even possibly happen? Can anybody think of one major metric,
Speaker 3: one really important category in Colorado, whether you're talking about crime, economy, jobs, affordability, homelessness.
Speaker 3: Can anybody think of one major category where things are
Speaker 3: better now than when Polists took office. I don't think
Speaker 3: anybody can. In fact, they're much much worse in almost
Speaker 3: every category.
Speaker 2: But yet he wants to build this.
Speaker 3: Bridge as a legacy project, and the left is divided
Speaker 3: on it. We'll touch on that when we get back.
Speaker 3: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
