Speaker 1: This is Dan Capless 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. What a great
Speaker 1: time to be an American, right, What a great time
Speaker 1: to be live. I'm telling Ryan, I love to laugh.
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard starry.
Speaker 1: The the I called State of the Union the President's
Speaker 1: addressed to Congress last night. And it was interesting because
Speaker 1: Amy had a good lifelong friend Dover, so they're up
Speaker 1: on a different floor. I'm down in the cave. I'm
Speaker 1: watching this thing when I do some trial prep, and
Speaker 1: and you know, I just I just couldn't help it.
Speaker 1: I just start bollowing, laughing, I mean like five, six,
Speaker 1: seven times, and finally she had to check, Hey, you okay,
Speaker 1: everything okay down there. I'm not sure she would have
Speaker 1: laughed as hard as I did, but it really was
Speaker 1: one of the great speeches of all time. And yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about lawless Mike up on the hills,
Speaker 1: spinning his web of to see and all that good stuff,
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of good sound. But this
Speaker 1: speech last night, I think, britt youume nailed it.
Speaker 2: This was the most boisterous, the longest, the most partisan
Speaker 2: speech I've ever heard of president, given this kind of setting,
Speaker 2: and I go back about maybe fifty years on this.
Speaker 2: I also think it may have been the most effective.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you ever doubt it that Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is the colossus, the political colossus of our time and
Speaker 2: our nation, this night and this speech should have put
Speaker 2: that to rest. So the Democrats seemed to be falling
Speaker 2: into trap after trap after trap as he recognized the
Speaker 2: people and celebrated the people he pointed to in the
Speaker 2: gallery and their stories, while the Democrats sat blumly on
Speaker 2: their hands through all of that.
Speaker 1: It was a terrible look.
Speaker 2: Al Green's attempt to disrupt the speech was a bad
Speaker 2: look for the Democrats. This was I think, politically speaking,
Speaker 2: this was pretty powerful stuff, as powerful as I think.
Speaker 1: I've heard, oh and maybe the best I've ever seen him. Right,
Speaker 1: And and then the Democrat contrast to me, even even
Speaker 1: Michael Steele and how sorry he's become. Even Michael Steele
Speaker 1: on MSNBC called him out.
Speaker 3: Michael, when they hold.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I just look at the bingo signs were
Speaker 1: killing me.
Speaker 4: I don't know who thought up the bingo size, but
Speaker 4: they should be fined, Michael.
Speaker 5: This is an indictment, in my opinion, on the Democratic leadership.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you didn't see it, you know the
Speaker 1: Democrats sitting there. First, a lot didn't even show up,
Speaker 1: so they just looked so puny over there. And then
Speaker 1: they had these weird little bingo signs or like paddles
Speaker 1: you'll hold up at a charity fundraiser, and then they
Speaker 1: put this goofy stuff like musk lies and things like that.
Speaker 1: They looked so ridiculous. But then Ryan, when they don't
Speaker 1: stand for the thirteen year old boy thirty and cute
Speaker 1: so old thirteen year old boy ever battling cancer wearing
Speaker 1: a police officers uniform made an honorary Secret Service member
Speaker 1: of the Secret Service, and the Democrats wouldn't even stand
Speaker 1: for him, and it just made the Democrats look so bad.
Speaker 1: And then there were lots of other examples right of
Speaker 1: how they look stupid sitting there when all of these
Speaker 1: very noble, worthy people were being honored. But this is
Speaker 1: what we've talked about, right, this is the double barrel.
Speaker 1: That's so critical for the future of America because we've
Speaker 1: got Trump now and he's going to have a great
Speaker 1: presidency as he did the first time, but then he's gone.
Speaker 1: He only gets two terms. So what's so critical now
Speaker 1: is is not just that Trump succeed, but that the
Speaker 1: left be exposed and that the left lose a lot
Speaker 1: of ground. And that's been happening, right, and Trump's good
Speaker 1: at making that happen. And Democrats last night, that was
Speaker 1: one giant me kao for the Democrats last night, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump was going to do his Trump thing
Speaker 1: and he was going to be great. But the Democrats
Speaker 1: it's like they just kept punching themselves in the face.
Speaker 4: Like I said earlier, Dan, I don't know that this
Speaker 4: could have gone better for President Trump, and I don't
Speaker 4: know that it could have gone worse for the Democrats
Speaker 4: and how they came out of this. Even John Fetterman,
Speaker 4: who usually speaks truth to his own party, was slamming
Speaker 4: them for their lack of decorum, for their behavior during this.
Speaker 4: It was Algreen at the very beginning disrupting the entire proceeding.
Speaker 4: You couldn't hear what he was doing, so it wasn't
Speaker 4: even effective if he was trying to make it be effective.
Speaker 4: You had other Democrats dressed in pink after voting down
Speaker 4: the Protection of Girls and Women's Sports Act, that was ironic.
Speaker 4: Then you had the signs being held up which were stupid.
Speaker 4: They're mean generators. Stephen Colbert even made fun of those,
Speaker 4: and you heard Michael Steele and Simone Sanders slamming.
Speaker 1: Them for that.
Speaker 4: They have a scattershot approach. Everything Trump is bad. You
Speaker 4: mentioned DJ just what a wonderful young man he was,
Speaker 4: and there were two moments, Dan that had me tearing up.
Speaker 6: You were laughing and I.
Speaker 1: Was laughing too too.
Speaker 4: When DJ, he was so legitimately shocked to be given
Speaker 4: this honor, he hugs Sean Current, the Secret Service Director.
Speaker 4: And then after that, Dan, they honor the subsequent young
Speaker 4: man who was being admitted to West Point, and DJ
Speaker 4: came over and gave him ahab.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 1: It was all so great. It was so well done
Speaker 1: on the Republican side, so awful on the dem side,
Speaker 1: and we have so much great sound of that. So
Speaker 1: Texter Dan, the Democrats came off as petulant children refusing
Speaker 1: to leave the toy isle and the Democrats had to
Speaker 1: know as they sat there how much harm they were
Speaker 1: doing to themselves. Because listen, a big problem they have
Speaker 1: is they're losing people of color, not all, but some.
Speaker 1: And you know, once that starts, once people, you know,
Speaker 1: start shifting away from traditional voting blocks, Democrats are going
Speaker 1: to lose more and more. Right because at this point,
Speaker 1: the Democrats when it comes to folks of color, and
Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, they're getting those votes
Speaker 1: not on merit but on habit and also on suspicion
Speaker 1: of the GOP. But but you can take any voting
Speaker 1: block you want. It can be Catholics, it can be Irish,
Speaker 1: it can be black, it can be Latino. Once more
Speaker 1: people shift from that voting block to the GOP, it
Speaker 1: becomes easier for other folks to and since there's no
Speaker 1: good reason to stay with the Democrats. But last night,
Speaker 1: my lord, when you've got this child and listen to this.
Speaker 1: If you didn't hear it, you want to If you did,
Speaker 1: you want to hear it again. This child happens to
Speaker 1: be black. Couldn't matter what color the child was, the
Speaker 1: story's still going to be so compelling. But he happens
Speaker 1: to be black, and he's up there with his father,
Speaker 1: who obviously is African American, and the fact that Democrats
Speaker 1: wouldn't stand for this.
Speaker 7: Kid tonight, as a young man who truly loves our police,
Speaker 7: his name is DJ. Daniel is thirteen years old and
Speaker 7: he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer. So
Speaker 7: in twenty eighteen, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The
Speaker 7: doctors gave him five months at most to live.
Speaker 1: That was more than six years ago.
Speaker 7: Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on
Speaker 7: request to make his dream come true. And DJ has
Speaker 7: been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually
Speaker 7: a number of times. And tonight, DJ, We're going to
Speaker 7: do you the biggest honor of them all. I am
Speaker 7: asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Kerran to officially
Speaker 7: make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.
Speaker 1: And yeah this song Kurrent comes in and he hands
Speaker 1: DJ that the Secret Service credentials and these are flip
Speaker 1: open rather than a badge, you know how, you flip
Speaker 1: it open like FBI does. And then they hold DJ
Speaker 1: up and he flips it open. And then his ryan
Speaker 1: was seen and DJ initiated this. He said something to
Speaker 1: Kerrn and then he hugged him, just grabbed him around
Speaker 1: the I mean it was so powerful. And the Democrats
Speaker 1: just sitting there like bitter beer face. Remember there was
Speaker 1: a keystone bitter beer face there was. Yeah, just sitting
Speaker 1: there with bitter beer face. Oh there was so much
Speaker 1: of that list. But do we have time for this?
Speaker 1: I'm glad we do because some of my favorite, absolute
Speaker 1: favorite lines in there. And we'll get back to how
Speaker 1: the left then tried to spin this DJ thing, which again,
Speaker 1: please keep talking dirty like that. It just makes it
Speaker 1: better for us. And in that first term.
Speaker 7: We set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like
Speaker 7: no other president had done before. We ordered all federal
Speaker 7: workers to return to the office. They will either show
Speaker 7: up for work in person or be removed from the job.
Speaker 1: He's getting it of that stuff.
Speaker 7: We've ended weaponized government, where as an example, a sitting
Speaker 7: president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me,
Speaker 7: How did.
Speaker 1: That work out?
Speaker 4: What's the greatest bad to be the greatest line in
Speaker 4: the art?
Speaker 1: And our study was looking right at that right side,
Speaker 1: is all right? The Democrats? How did that work out? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How did that work? And what are we going to
Speaker 1: have twenty million memes with how did that work out? That?
Speaker 1: That is so cool? And then when we come back,
Speaker 1: my second favorite at least line of the night. So
Speaker 1: we'll continue to play a lot of sound from last
Speaker 1: night because it was historic, it was funny, it was moving,
Speaker 1: and then that ties into, of course, then what happened
Speaker 1: on the hill today where you have these Democrats sanctuary
Speaker 1: city mayors come up, including lawless Mike Johnston from Denver
Speaker 1: and Lauren Bolber Congress from Bolber to question him, among others,
Speaker 1: will be with us at four thirty six and we'll
Speaker 1: start to play some sound from that. I think it
Speaker 1: went as I predicted it would, but there are some
Speaker 1: moments I think you'll really enjoy hearing. And then really
Speaker 1: the profound question, which is how does anybody ever get
Speaker 1: to the point and why do they get to the
Speaker 1: point where clearly, and this was clear with all of
Speaker 1: them in Johnston in particular, their priority, they're absolute to
Speaker 1: the death priority is protecting folks here illegally who have
Speaker 1: committed other crimes, and they put those folks on a
Speaker 1: pedestal ahead of everybody else, ahead of all people here legally,
Speaker 1: ahead of all people here illegally not committing other crimes.
Speaker 1: Their holy grail is protecting folks here illegally who've committed
Speaker 1: other crimes. How does the person ever get to that
Speaker 1: point in their life and why do you think they're
Speaker 1: doing it? You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: I mean the X I love you. You guys were blaming
Speaker 1: George W. Bush in year eight. But you know something
Speaker 1: that we learned something from that. Jenny's is so good.
Speaker 1: And the only reason I played that is there's a
Speaker 1: lot of talk with Scott Jennings, you know, that conservative
Speaker 1: on CNN, who I think is the best we've ever
Speaker 1: seen at this and a lot of talking to him
Speaker 1: taking Mitchell mco little seat in the US Senate. Since Jennings,
Speaker 1: I guess is from Kentucky, Ryan, I think we're looking
Speaker 1: at a future presidential contender there in Jennings. Wow, he
Speaker 1: is so good. He is so good, he's so likable,
Speaker 1: he's so good on the substance he is yet agree. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I'm liking that we're mixing in text as well. Congressome
Speaker 1: Bobert at four thirty six, she was part of questioning
Speaker 1: lawless Mike Johnston on the Hill today on Sanctuary City.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that Dan. That one dem look like
Speaker 1: an old vulture. It was fitting. Yeah, I tried to
Speaker 1: snap a picture of her, but again I'm doing some
Speaker 1: trial preps. I did in my camera. My end. Who's
Speaker 1: do you know who he's talking about? Right? Or she's
Speaker 1: talking about the one that looks like the wicked witch
Speaker 1: of the West. I wouldn't put any negative spin on it.
Speaker 1: She looks completely unique. Rosa de Laurel, Rosa Delauo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I would be very happy for her to be
Speaker 1: the face of the Democratic Party. But I guess I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be because I think it's I think it's the
Speaker 1: Democrat who decided he was going to turn us into
Speaker 1: some kind of banana Republic at the beginning of this thing,
Speaker 1: when he got up there and he was just going
Speaker 1: to take over, right, he stood right in front of
Speaker 1: Trump obviously planned screaming at Trump. And so this is
Speaker 1: just not America. This is just not America. Whether it's
Speaker 1: a Democrat up there, given the state of the Union
Speaker 1: and a Republican who stands in front, remember the way
Speaker 1: that Lauren Bolbert will be with us at four thirty six,
Speaker 1: got villified for shouting something out from back in the
Speaker 1: stands in defense of our heroes who were killed at
Speaker 1: Abbey's Gate, and she got vilified for that. Could you
Speaker 1: imagine if she had done what this Democrat didn't come
Speaker 1: and stand right down in front of Trump and just
Speaker 1: not let the thing proceed, or right down in front
Speaker 1: of Biden and not let the thing proceed. Representative al Green.
Speaker 1: He was then run out of Congress.
Speaker 4: Well, he was censured, for what it's worth, in a
Speaker 4: party line vote earlier today, by like two votes.
Speaker 6: So that's another thing.
Speaker 4: Though the Democrats wouldn't even censure their own jerk who behaved.
Speaker 1: Like a moron.
Speaker 6: And I think a lot John Fetterman's.
Speaker 4: Called this out. And I saw Joe A. Goose Stan
Speaker 4: sitting right behind al Green when that was happening, and
Speaker 4: he wanted to be anywhere else.
Speaker 1: Oh, but he missed an opportunity. Ryan, my lord, he's
Speaker 1: probably kicking himself. He's probably got his staff kicking him.
Speaker 1: He's probably got peep on the street kicking him. Because
Speaker 1: if Jonah Goose and I haven't met him, but I
Speaker 1: hear he's a good guy, you know, I disagree with
Speaker 1: this policies. People say he's a good guy. If Joonah
Speaker 1: Goose had simply stepped up, put his arm around the
Speaker 1: Democrat who'd lost his mind, and just walked him back,
Speaker 1: Joonah Goose would be the talk of the country. He
Speaker 1: really would he get elected anything he wanted to get elected.
Speaker 1: What an opportunity. Yes, but it's so revealing, right because listen,
Speaker 1: we've all at times missed a moment. We've all at
Speaker 1: times seized a moment when things are bang bang. But
Speaker 1: this this l Green thing was not bang bang. It
Speaker 1: was like it went on forever. So it's just revealing
Speaker 1: because if Jonah Goose or any of these other Democrats
Speaker 1: were what the America wants right now, really rising above
Speaker 1: it all, they would have done that. They would have
Speaker 1: walked up to him, been gentle and kind and tried
Speaker 1: to usher them out. And then if Elgreen had hit
Speaker 1: him with the cane, So what, they still win, right,
Speaker 1: They're still a winner.
Speaker 4: It just blows my mind too, Dan that all the
Speaker 4: things they accused Trump of being and doing that he
Speaker 4: lacks the korum, that he's smashed the norms, that he
Speaker 4: isn't a throwback the way Biden was supposed to be
Speaker 4: the Democrats lacking all the korum and class and everything.
Speaker 6: Last night.
Speaker 4: They could not have shown themselves up worse than what
Speaker 4: they presented to America last night, and that's why they're losing.
Speaker 1: They're in a doom loop right now. They are in
Speaker 1: a doom loop right now, and the GOP bench is
Speaker 1: so deep, and listen, somebody will emerge on the Democrats side,
Speaker 1: because the media will make sure somebody emerges. You could
Speaker 1: have some very average Joe or Jane emerge, and if
Speaker 1: it's the best thing the Democrats have, the media will
Speaker 1: make them out to be the next JFK. Though the
Speaker 1: Democrats wouldn't have JFK in the party right now. He'd
Speaker 1: be too conservative in their view. But somebody will emerge.
Speaker 1: But right now they are in a doom loop death spiral,
Speaker 1: as they should. And I don't mean that personally, but
Speaker 1: the reality of the left is that their ideas are horrible.
Speaker 1: They don't work. Most of their ideas. Eighty percent of
Speaker 1: America is opposed to and people who are voting for
Speaker 1: Democrats now most of them our people out of Haber
Speaker 1: or they just don't like the Republicans, so they are
Speaker 1: truly in a death spiral. Here's one of my other
Speaker 1: favorite lines from last night. And my favorite lines are
Speaker 1: not just because they're delivered well and they're funny, but
Speaker 1: because they're true and so they're really going to hit.
Speaker 7: Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping
Speaker 7: border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we quickly
Speaker 7: achieve the lowest numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded.
Speaker 1: Thank you, one of the great lines ever coming up
Speaker 1: because it is so true.
Speaker 7: The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept
Speaker 7: saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to
Speaker 7: secure the border, but it turned out that all we
Speaker 7: really needed was a new president.
Speaker 1: See Bets, that's as good as it gets because yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a shot, and it's a direct shot, and he's
Speaker 1: looking right at him. But it's true. It's substance. It's
Speaker 1: not name calling. It is so true because that's what
Speaker 1: all I'm right, Bennett Hick and Luper John's all I'm
Speaker 1: saying during the campaign, Polis, Oh no, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: all Trump's fault because if we had this bill, we
Speaker 1: wanted the border to be shut down. No, that was
Speaker 1: all a lie. That was just one of the great
Speaker 1: great moments. Three or three someone three eight two five
Speaker 1: five text d A N five seven seven three nine
Speaker 1: Dan Ryan DJ even hugg President Trump in the Oval
Speaker 1: Office this morning that from Andy. Oh boy, he is
Speaker 1: now kind of America's favorite. Andy should be he should
Speaker 1: be How cool that was? But then I want to
Speaker 1: get to the sound. What's the clip?
Speaker 6: Oh you hear?
Speaker 1: It is showing how nuts, how nuts the Democrats are
Speaker 1: last night they just couldn't handle this whole DJ thing.
Speaker 1: So here's how they tried to submit it.
Speaker 8: I think this was a lesson in finding one thing.
Speaker 1: That you let yourself feel.
Speaker 8: And I let myself feel joy about DJ. And I
Speaker 8: hope he's alive for another you know, ninety five years,
Speaker 8: and I hope he lives and the life he wants
Speaker 8: to live.
Speaker 1: He wants to be a cop.
Speaker 8: He knows what he wants to do, and maybe when
Speaker 8: you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you. And I
Speaker 8: hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer.
Speaker 8: But I hope he never has to defend the United
Speaker 8: States capital against Donald Trump supporters.
Speaker 1: And it's been there's a winning argument. There is a
Speaker 1: winning argument for Democrats right after they will not stand
Speaker 1: up for the thirteen year old with brain cancer who
Speaker 1: has just made a member of the Secret Service. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the winning argument forum right there. It's such a
Speaker 1: great time to be alive. And your life's probably real busy,
Speaker 1: right everybody's life's busy. But I hope you get a
Speaker 1: chance just to slow down and savor this moment because
Speaker 1: we are watching a sea change. We're watching a tipping
Speaker 1: point in American history where once major political party is
Speaker 1: just starting to fall apart before our eyes while another
Speaker 1: is ascendant. And it doesn't guarantee anything over the next
Speaker 1: fifty years, but it's a lot of fun right now,
Speaker 1: and it gives us a lot of reason to hope.
Speaker 1: Congressoman Bobert next on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 1: A walk off song No doubt.
Speaker 3: It's mister Mayor, would you join me today and calling
Speaker 3: and demanding that these sanctuaries, policies, these Colorado state laws
Speaker 3: be repealed.
Speaker 1: Great question, Thank you, Congresswoman.
Speaker 3: Lets me now, mister Mayor pardons yes or no, you're
Speaker 3: joined me.
Speaker 1: I do not believe that the tenderal needs to be changed.
Speaker 1: So I can tell you what a great question, congresswoman,
Speaker 1: and I'm so glad you led with that. That is
Speaker 1: such an important question. It just completely exposed him as
Speaker 1: he tried to hide behind those laws that oh yeah
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to change. Hey, thanks for your work today.
Speaker 1: What was that like?
Speaker 9: Thank you? Well, you know I could have been there
Speaker 9: another hour? Yeah, sure, and.
Speaker 5: Questioning the mayor. Certainly he was there for six and
Speaker 5: a half hours. But here in Washington, d C. There
Speaker 5: are other meetings to be.
Speaker 1: Had as well.
Speaker 5: You know, that was an important question that I wanted
Speaker 5: to spend some time on though. However, because it really
Speaker 5: proves that Mayor Mike Johnson owns discuss that's right, he
Speaker 5: refuses to call on his city council to even have
Speaker 5: a vote to repeal the Denver ordinance that says Denver
Speaker 5: employees will be fired if they communicate with federal.
Speaker 9: Law enforcement officers. Now that doesn't mean all federal employees.
Speaker 5: They can speak with the EPA and helping human services
Speaker 5: and others by enforcement officers, they're prevented that.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then also he would not join me in calling
Speaker 5: for Colorado's state sanctuary policies to be repealed. Now, I'm
Speaker 5: proud of Douglas County and other counties who have stepped
Speaker 5: up and are suing to get this stop. But it
Speaker 5: isn't enough. And if may Or Mike Johnson would call
Speaker 5: for that to be removed instead of making excuses saying, well,
Speaker 5: this is just state policy, state law, so my hands
Speaker 5: are tied here.
Speaker 9: You know, that doesn't really that doesn't really work.
Speaker 1: But he would do that, then.
Speaker 9: There would be a real effort in.
Speaker 5: Securing Denver, whether it comes to safety or even funding
Speaker 5: that would actually benefit the citizens of Denver. And then
Speaker 5: of course it would prevent crime in the cities that
Speaker 5: he is bussing illegals from Denver too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that was probably the most important question
Speaker 1: asked of him all afternoon, because he, as you say,
Speaker 1: now owns it. He can't just hide behind these laws.
Speaker 1: He said he does not want them changed. In an
Speaker 1: outside of this setting today, I don't think he could
Speaker 1: have been pinned down on that. I want to give
Speaker 1: people a taste of another question that you asked, and
Speaker 1: then I'll stop the tape and let you expand on it.
Speaker 3: What about before a warrant? There are many issues before
Speaker 3: a warrant.
Speaker 1: So your great point. You know, he always tries to
Speaker 1: mislead people by saying, hey, we honor warrants, but as
Speaker 1: a practical matter, that's almost meaningless. So please do expand
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 5: Yes, So that's really the point of this policy and
Speaker 5: what makes it a sanctuary policy and while why local
Speaker 5: media is even clouded of Denver as a sanctuary city.
Speaker 5: One example was in November of twenty twenty four of
Speaker 5: Venezuelan illegals who had crossed the border illegally. He was
Speaker 5: arrested in Denver for raping a fourteen year old girl,
Speaker 5: and this illegal alien had already been arrested and released
Speaker 5: on bail for another offense before this crime, before abusing
Speaker 5: this fourteen year old girl, and ICE later confirmed that
Speaker 5: the suspect was here illegally. But these Denver sanctuary policies
Speaker 5: prevented local police from notifying immigration authorities, and I hear
Speaker 5: from officers all over Colorado all the time while they
Speaker 5: struggle with this that they are not able to notify,
Speaker 5: and furthermore, when they do notify them, they are not
Speaker 5: allowed to have ICE agents come in to their facilities
Speaker 5: and apprehendous suspect that they have of and we just
Speaker 5: saw this. We just saw a criminal alien who was
Speaker 5: being released to ICE. However, he couldn't be detained further
Speaker 5: for just another hour or two in their facility.
Speaker 9: They had to.
Speaker 5: Release him in the streets, as Mayor Johnston says, in
Speaker 5: a parking.
Speaker 9: Lot, and that's where he assaulted a law enforcement officer
Speaker 9: and then later had to be tased.
Speaker 1: And this could have been handled much.
Speaker 5: Better and it wasn't. And now Mayor Mike Johnson saying, well,
Speaker 5: maybe we need to revisit how we release them to
Speaker 5: ICE agents. Well, it should have never happened. And you know,
Speaker 5: to wait for a federal warrant before action is taken.
Speaker 5: It's far too long, but it does protect their narrative
Speaker 5: of saying, well, they're not criminal aliens. You say you
Speaker 5: want criminal aliens removed from the country. Well, I also
Speaker 5: you don't want to wait for them to commit a
Speaker 5: very veenish crime like abusing a fourteen year old girl
Speaker 5: before we take action. Anyone who has come into this
Speaker 5: country illegally has already broken our nation's law and should
Speaker 5: be notified to ICE.
Speaker 1: Right, But the Left, as you know, has all these
Speaker 1: laws in Colorado that you pinned Johnston down, and he
Speaker 1: doesn't want them change. All these laws that are designed
Speaker 1: to protect people who have committed other crimes ended up
Speaker 1: in our jails, and now Ice wants to identify and
Speaker 1: wants to interview them, et cetera. There are all sorts
Speaker 1: of laws that are geared only to protect people who
Speaker 1: have been convicted of other crimes. Yeah, and let me
Speaker 1: give people a taste. Yeah, go ahead, please, no, please,
Speaker 1: let me give people a taste of another line of
Speaker 1: questioning Congressoman Bobert.
Speaker 3: With us six hundred days, there's been no time to
Speaker 3: ask for this to be repealed. You did have a
Speaker 3: newcomer's playbook twenty five pages. You had time to put
Speaker 3: that together, and you had time to agree with the
Speaker 3: city council to authorize up to two million dollars to
Speaker 3: pay Joe Biden's former lawyer his law firm to help
Speaker 3: cover your ass.
Speaker 1: So expand on that for us. I'm glad you had
Speaker 1: the chance to ask him about that.
Speaker 5: Yes, well, you know it shows that the mayor requested
Speaker 5: the city council to authorize up to two million dollars
Speaker 5: to be paid to Joe Biden's former lawyer's law firm
Speaker 5: to help prepare him for this Commission hearing, and you know,
Speaker 5: he says, yeah, we secured that. Contrast in case your
Speaker 5: committee wanted me to come before him, what a document
Speaker 5: for us. So I think that right there shows that
Speaker 5: they know that they are not complying with federal law
Speaker 5: and the federal government is going to want answers about
Speaker 5: these policies. But this is also coming from a city
Speaker 5: that whose budget for illegal aliens in twenty twenty four
Speaker 5: alone was ninety million dollars. And this is money millions
Speaker 5: dollars gifted from investments.
Speaker 9: In city parks and employees that may actually benefit Denver taxpayers.
Speaker 1: And Congressoman, before I get your take on what I
Speaker 1: think was a historic addressed to Congress last night, where
Speaker 1: do you think this goes from here?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 1: Because Americans are on your side, right, I mean, this
Speaker 1: is not just a Republican issue anymore. Where do you
Speaker 1: think it goes sanctuary cities? Yes?
Speaker 5: Well, President Trump and Secretary of Nome and Borders are
Speaker 5: Tom Homan have said that there will be action taken
Speaker 5: against those leaders who are refusing to follow state law
Speaker 5: and who are aiding and ambtting illegal aliens, and within
Speaker 5: their communities and under their jurisdiction, and so I do
Speaker 5: expect action to be taken in some form. I don't
Speaker 5: know exactly what that looks like, but I'm sure that
Speaker 5: there will be a some sort of a grace period
Speaker 5: for them to get it right.
Speaker 9: But if they refuse and there needs to be action
Speaker 9: is taken.
Speaker 5: And President Trump said he will withhold hold federal funding
Speaker 5: from those who are not following the Constitution and his
Speaker 5: executive orders, the laws that we have in this land.
Speaker 5: And so unfortunately, we may see some of the funding
Speaker 5: be removed from cities like Denver who have sanctuary policies.
Speaker 5: And look, I work hard each and every day to
Speaker 5: deliver tax dollars back to Colorado. Colorado's pay in a
Speaker 5: lot of tax money, and I want to make sure
Speaker 5: that they are represented and reaping the benefits of those
Speaker 5: tax dollars. But when it's going to illegal aliens, this
Speaker 5: is this is not acceptable. When Denver has a budget
Speaker 5: of ninety million dollars for illegal aliens in the year
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four alone, that is unacceptable. When Genver needs
Speaker 5: to ask for a bailout from the state legislature because
Speaker 5: they're going bankrupt or their hospital is about to go under.
Speaker 5: This is unacceptable, and so maybe we need to start
Speaker 5: focusing on putting the agencies under the federal government in
Speaker 5: areas like maybe Douglas County who do want to uphold
Speaker 5: our nation's laws and are taking on the state government
Speaker 5: of Colorado and their sanctuary policies.
Speaker 9: With their lawsuits.
Speaker 5: But maybe we'll start to see more of that those
Speaker 5: tax dollars go to our rural communities rather than just
Speaker 5: the illegal aliens and in the illegal policies and.
Speaker 1: Places like Denver and Congressomans, you've been generous at your
Speaker 1: time in our last thirty seconds. What was the peak
Speaker 1: moment for you last night in that amazing speech.
Speaker 5: Oh, it was certainly the greatest speech that I've heard
Speaker 5: in the House chambers. And it's wonderful to have a
Speaker 5: president to be proud of again. I think the President
Speaker 5: Trump demonstrated that he is back. He has energy and
Speaker 5: vigor and vision, and not only is he back, but
Speaker 5: America is back. Our border is a ninety five ninety
Speaker 5: seven percent sture because we now have the rights resident
Speaker 5: in office and we are truly making America great again.
Speaker 5: And he is demonstrating that we can't have peace through strength.
Speaker 5: And unfortunately I also saw that my colleagues on the
Speaker 5: other side of the aisle, well, they hate President Trump
Speaker 5: more than they love America.
Speaker 1: That is it, boy, That is really profoundly put. Congressoman,
Speaker 1: thank you for the time today. Thank you, Dan, you
Speaker 1: take care And I would I would probably amend that
Speaker 1: last statement just a little bit. They at this point
Speaker 1: hate Trump so much They're willing to destroy their own
Speaker 1: party over it. You're on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 6: And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: From do you know how many of those sixty five
Speaker 1: to seventy one homicides were committed by people illegally present
Speaker 1: in the country, And I'm happy to show all of
Speaker 1: the sources for my facts. We don't ask anyone's status
Speaker 1: at morn of arrest. We do not know someone's status
Speaker 1: and when they charge thank you, yeah, so amazing, right, amazing.
Speaker 1: Johnston just doesn't know. And Congressman Evans is going to
Speaker 1: join us. He doesn't want to know. And this comes
Speaker 1: back to this whole point. Why is the left so
Speaker 1: determined right now? Why do they put on a pedestal
Speaker 1: on a pedestal people here illegally you've committed other crimes.
Speaker 1: Why are they so determined to protect them? And I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any other conceivable answer other than they
Speaker 1: see them as voters. They see them as voters. And
Speaker 1: then it ties into something we talked about recently, where
Speaker 1: you've got Hickenlopers standing for reelection out there pushing a
Speaker 1: bill that would prevent Ice from detaining an illegal immigrant
Speaker 1: at a polling place. Eric in Denver, you're on the
Speaker 1: DANCA Aplus Show.
Speaker 10: Welcome, Hi, Dan, great American.
Speaker 1: Eric. Tell you Ben, I just had to call you
Speaker 1: my brother.
Speaker 10: Because yesterday you said Johnston was going to shine today.
Speaker 10: And on the contrary, young man, because Alabama Representative Palmer
Speaker 10: and Representative Higgins in Louisiana they want to take the
Speaker 10: shine out of Johnston, to put Johnston flat out in
Speaker 10: a dull jail shale.
Speaker 1: You did well, what I say, my friend, and thank
Speaker 1: you for that. What I say is exactly what I
Speaker 1: said yesterday, which is, wait a second, Yeah, Johnston is
Speaker 1: going to shine today compared to what should happen to
Speaker 1: him because what he's doing is so wrong and it's
Speaker 1: so indefensible and he needs to be exposed for it.
Speaker 1: But in a Committee hearing like today, no matter how
Speaker 1: great the questioner, and there were lots of great questioners,
Speaker 1: including Congressoman Bobert, they're limit They're limited to this little
Speaker 1: five minute slot. There's no judge to sit up there
Speaker 1: and order Johnston to answer the question, and so he's
Speaker 1: able to do what he did a lot of today,
Speaker 1: which is to dodge and fill a buster and deceive.
Speaker 1: So that's my point is, and make no mistake about it, Eric,
Speaker 1: I mean to people on the left out there today,
Speaker 1: you know, Johnston emerges as a hero. I mean, just
Speaker 1: look at the Denver post stuff. So he was let
Speaker 1: off the hook today, not by the questioners, all of
Speaker 1: whom did a very good job under tough circumstances, but
Speaker 1: by the format. I mean, if this had been an
Speaker 1: actual courtroom where there's a judge and Johnston's under oath
Speaker 1: and there's you know, he has to answer the question,
Speaker 1: the questioner has the time they need to pin him down,
Speaker 1: the guy's career would be over.
Speaker 10: Yes, sir again. But see, I'm so sick and tired
Speaker 10: as well as all of us Republicans out here that
Speaker 10: the Democrats, my god, the Democrat mayor's and governor. Yeah,
Speaker 10: for the love of me, they get away with buddy.
Speaker 10: You know I got to arrested.
Speaker 1: I got the solution. I'm not a darkness cursor. I'm
Speaker 1: a candlelighter. I got the solution right now, and Eric
Speaker 1: will agree the second he hears it. This solves everything instantly.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: We need to pass a bill, call it the capitalist Bill.
Speaker 1: We need to pass a bill that citizens can sue
Speaker 1: Mike Johnston, citizens can sue Jared Polis, citizens can sue
Speaker 1: government officials with sanctuary policies for all harm done by
Speaker 1: people here illegally. How you're here. How long do you
Speaker 1: think these sanctuary cities would remain sanctuary cities.
Speaker 10: It'd be gone instantaneous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it'd probably take thirty days, but they'd be
Speaker 1: gone in thirty days.
Speaker 10: I got to ask you, being a lawyer and brilliant
Speaker 10: as you are, you know I'm biased because took that vote.
Speaker 1: You You just called the show to tell people I
Speaker 1: was dead wrong, but which I am grateful for.
Speaker 9: I did.
Speaker 10: I just said no, no, no, no, hey, it's fair.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, it is fair. No. I appreciate the call,
Speaker 1: and but but don't you think that solves it in
Speaker 1: thirty days? It's done in thirty days.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, and I think that you know, you made a
Speaker 10: brilliant point because Johnston showed his true colors. And for
Speaker 10: the life of me, I can't believe Democrats keep voting
Speaker 10: these people in, like you know, the mayor that preceded him, Handcock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and eventually Jenfer's going to have a Republican mayor.
Speaker 1: She's just not going to call herself republic and she's
Speaker 1: going to be a conservative. But Eric, to your point
Speaker 1: where you called to call me out, listen, I was wrong.
Speaker 1: I was wrong to this extent. There was more damage
Speaker 1: done to Johnston today than I thought would be. And
Speaker 1: a good example of that is Congressoman Bobert's very well
Speaker 1: put question pinning him down on wait a second, you're
Speaker 1: hiding behind these Colorado laws that you say tie your hands,
Speaker 1: but will you join me in trying to change the laws,
Speaker 1: and he said no, he wants the laws to stay
Speaker 1: in effect. So that's an example of their being more
Speaker 1: accomplished with Johnston today than I thought would be. But
Speaker 1: here's my point, not nearly as much as could have
Speaker 1: been done if we were in a courtroom, if the
Speaker 1: questioners had a judge up there to force Johnston answer
Speaker 1: the questions. That's my point is we weren't to be
Speaker 1: going to be able to get a full cross examination
Speaker 1: of him today. Eric, thank you, but I got to
Speaker 1: tell you really impressed with the questioners and they accomplished
Speaker 1: more than I thought they would, and I'm really happy
Speaker 1: to see that. How about this the capitalist law, or
Speaker 1: we'd come up with a better name for it. But
Speaker 1: don't you think that doesn't instantly if people can sue
Speaker 1: the city for damage done by folks here illegally, all
Speaker 1: sanctuary city subject to those lawsuits.
