Dan has had time to marinate on the Kamala Harris pick of Tim Walz as her running mate, and is even more convinced this will prove to be a historically bad political decision that will ultimately sink her campaign.
Also, El Paso County GOP chair Todd Watkins joins Dan with an update on a court ruling which will allow a meeting to go forward and potentially remove Dave Williams as Colorado state party chair.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Glad you were here,
so much to talk about, much of it obviously tied
to the most bizarre and consequential presidential election of our lifetime,
(00:22):
but so many other things going on as well, including
right here in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So quick overview.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, I'm going to continue to talk about what I
think is one of the biggest mistakes in modern American
political history, and that is Harris's selection of Walls, and
will continue to get into more specifics, more detail, because
I think what's becoming very very clear is is that, yeah,
obviously he was not the best pick, and she had
(00:51):
a chance to lock Pennsylvania didn't take it. All that
stuff we've talked about, But as we get deeper and
deeper into Walls himself, you've got leave that they either
didn't have adequate time to vet him, or didn't do
a very good job of it, or in the end,
you know, she just went with her own insecurities and
did not want Shapiro Kelly, et cetera being so obviously
(01:14):
better than her. She ends up with Walls. But he
has so much baggage. And listen, I get it. I
get it that they're going to get these big crowds,
and they're going to get enthusiastic crowds, and he's this
kind of goofball entertainer. And by the way, that word,
I don't know if you saw it, Ryan the New
York Times used that word for him. Goofball The New
(01:35):
York Times use that word, and then playing up what
a great benefit it is to have the goofball factor
on the trail and listen for the base I get that.
I get that this guy's just going to be like
the guy who I'm not saying he's drinking on the job,
that's not my point. But he's going to be like
you know, that grandfather who's had too many drinks and
he's down in the basement and all the kids are
(01:57):
laughing at him. I get all of that, and he
show a really I won't call it an evil side,
but he did an evil thing yesterday. I want to
talk about that just shows you know that the real
core nature of this guy and lack of character at
least in this example and many other examples. But the
point is, the base ain't going to win you the election.
(02:19):
And so they're going to have those big crowds, they're
going to have the base, They're going to have the
base excited. But it comes down to, as we all know,
these six states and the Democrats' support is is wasted
in a lot of ways in these major cities and
solidly blue states. And you think the base within Wisconsin,
the base within Arizona, the base within Pennsylvania itself is
(02:41):
going to win the election for you know. And so
I think one of the reasons this will be looked
back on as the biggest blunder since what was his name,
Eagleton with McGovern right, is that he alienates. This guy
is going to alienate people in the middle, excite the
hell out of the base, alien eight people in the middle.
(03:01):
And as we get into more specifics, if you haven't
heard her seen these things already, you'll know why.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And if you have heard or seen.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Them, you're going to enjoy this because if like me,
you want to see Trump win and you want to
see conservatives back in power, then then you're going to
be very very happy to hear that Walls and by extension,
Harris have all of these problems, which raises the issue,
you know, will he make it through the convention? Now, Listen,
I'm the guy who's sat here not to be a
(03:28):
jerk about it, but sat here and made really bold,
accurate after accurate predictions, including that Biden would not be
the nominee. I am not sitting here at four h
nine on this Wednesday afternoon telling you that that Walls
will be out before.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
The end of the convention. I'm not telling you that.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
If I'm betting the car, I bet he stays on
the ticket. But there is at least that possibility out there,
given all of the stuff that's coming up in just
the first forty eight hours. So we're going to talk
about that eight five five four zero five eight two
five five text DN five seven seven three nine. But wait,
there's more, and I want to talk about some some
(04:08):
look around the corner stuff. It is not getting much
attention right now. I think it really should, and I
think the current Trump campaign strategy, which is being criticized
by some, is being shaped in large part by this. Listen,
what most people don't have on their calendar right now,
is that Donald Trump is going to be wrongfully sentenced
(04:31):
in this wrongfully pursued bogus prosecution in New York. He's
going to be sentenced in mid September. And that's going
to be a dynamic in a presidential race that we
have not seen before where leading candidate for president is
going to be sentenced for jail literally days before the
(04:51):
balloting starts in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. So
do you think do you think that's sentenced scene is
going to help or hert Trump. I want to get
your take on that. I have strong feelings for good
reasons about that. Eight five five four zero five eight
two five to five the number text d A N
five seven seven three nine. Also want to talk about
(05:16):
this move by Trump, which is politically brilliant, and even
the New York Times today said it has quote unquote
real appeal, and it's been kind of lost ran and
all of the craziness regarding deposing the democratically chosen Biden
and then dragging the socialist Walts in. It's the fact
(05:37):
that the President Trump in the middle all of all that,
has has said that as president, he will eliminate taxes
on Social Security. I can't remember a presidential candidate in
my lifetime saying they will do that. But that's a
position that he has taken, and so I want to
get your reaction to that, see if you think it's
(05:58):
going to be a game changer some other things on
the agenda more locally, we haven't been on this for
a while because of all this national craziness. All right,
now that the court has ruled that you can go
forward with a vote now on whether to remove Dave Williams.
Do you think Dave Williams should be removed as GOP
chair in Colorado? We're going to cover that as well
(06:20):
as and Ryan. This drives me crazy. And you know
the reason it drives me crazy, in large part other
than trying to be a good human, is my job.
I handle catastrophic injury cases. I represent victims, so I
spend a lot of my day and I'm not looking
for sympathy. I'm grateful to have the opportunity I have
in this job, but I spend a lot of my
(06:40):
day looking at pictures of people who were alive a
minute ago and are now dead, and their kids don't
have a father or mother, or they're paralyzed and they're
mangled and everything else. And so when I see these lefties,
who obviously don't care at all about human life, when
I see these lefties pass these laws that they got
(07:00):
to know, if they're sober and they're thinking for a second,
they got to know, are going to mean that the
children are going to come home from school and no
longer have their father, parents are going to get that
call at work and no longer have their son or daughter,
and they pass these laws anyway drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
But it just goes back to the lack.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Of respect for human life at the entire spectrum, the
entire continuum that you see from the left. And and this
example what I'm talking about is this insane motorcycle lane
quote filtering that's now going into effect in Colorado because
of the Left. And I'm sure you've experienced it on
the roadways. I'm sure you've experienced it over the course
(07:42):
of your driving lifetime. But now that it's actually been
legalized and green lighted in Colorado pun intended, Yeah, yeah,
what else can that do other than cost more innocent
lives and lots of human misery. So all of that
ahead today and what we can back. I want to
start with something that I think is I think it
(08:05):
was an evil act. I think it was a flat
out evil act. I'm not calling Walls evil. I think
he supports some clearly blatantly evil things, and I think
this was a flat out evil act. Yesterday when he
he lied, he spread this insidious lie. It's a flat
(08:25):
out lie. There's no basis in fact that JD Lands
had sex with a couch. And to do that, what's that?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh? Did I you know why?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I said that one of the great youth baseball coaches
ever ever and a superb, superb fireman. Yeah, J is
a great human who would never do such a thing.
So JD vance. So imagine how this is and what
(09:01):
it tells you about Walls and his lack of character
that on this national stage being introduced as the vice
presidential nominee, he would get up and tell that kind
of insidious personal live that he knew to be a
lie about the GOP vice presidential nominee alleged that he
(09:22):
had sex with a couch.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I mean, but that just tells you what you're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You have some people on the left they're just wrong
on the issues, but they're generally high character people. And
then you got some real low character people, and Walls
is proving himself in many different ways to be very
very low character. But I want you to hear the
sound eight five five for zero five eight two five
five the number text d an five seven seven three.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Nine and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I've just signed Executive Order twenty dash zero one declaring
a peacetime state of emergency for the state of Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
We need to congregating.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
We're going to close the bars, We're going to close
the restaurants. We're going to close the places where we gathered.
Several one hundred thousand of your neighbors were just laid off.
An entire industry has been shut down. In the face
of this, all for the greater good.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I'm the governor, with the power of the state constitution
behind him, has issued one hundred and four executive orders
affecting everything from schools to restaurants and bars to churches
to basically every facet of everyday life. Democrats who control
the House are moving in the opposite direction.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Some are pushing to put a mask mandate in state laws.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Hi, how the jerry? Why where a Vestistall it helps
to kate, they say.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Explosive testimony from a Minneapolis police union official who says
that the governor ordered cops who abandoned that third precinct
during the Springs rioting.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I was in the command post.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
I heard it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I heard the governor say give it up.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Thirty two Chief Aradondo calls them there to tell him
they've lost control, can no longer maintain order in the city.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And then at ten thirteen, Chief Aradonda.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Who's monitoring the scene from a couple blocks away, gets
in the radio to announce a few.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
A kitty white John right now at our lot of
the dirt rising.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Has been compromised.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Marison, I request the National Guard, who I'm on this straight.
We're gonna have massively trained troops. No, you're gonna have
nineteen year old who are cooked.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, boy, I think this is a total disaster for them.
Fortunately this Tim Walls will continue to pass along new information,
including much that we already have for this show. But
I want to call your attention to such a dishonest headline.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
This is CNN and listen to this.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Sources Hesbela poised to strike Israel independent of Iran. Now,
why is CNN carrying Iran's water here? You really think
Hesbela is going to act independent of Iran. Of course,
CNN is trying to shield Iran from the blowback for
the attack on Israel that's about to come from Iran
(12:10):
via Asbla. So why is CNN trying to carry Iran's water?
Eight five five for zero five A two five five
the number TEXTDA and five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
We'll get to those texts now. I'm sure you saw yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Oh, I got to get to this evil thing that
Walls did yesterday first. But I'm sure you saw the
reporting yesterday just confirming yet another arrest in connection with
Iran's ongoing effort to have President Trump assassinated, right and
against that backdrop, Look what the Democrats are doing, all
(12:45):
of that same all of the same falsehoods, all of
the same lies, all of the same behavior, which they
know is sending a message, sending a message to nutjobs
out there that hey, this guy's got to be eliminated
now Iran. Iran is after him anyway, and has been
after him for a long time. And the Biden administration
(13:06):
knew that when it failed to provide Trump with the
protection he should have had. But think about why Iran
is after him, and I sure hope the President nails
this at the appropriate time, maybe in the debate. Iran
is after him because Trump was willing to risk his
life and his family's lives to take out Solamani in
order to protect American troops in American homeland. And Trump
(13:29):
knew the second he gave that order that it would
put a target on his back for the rest of
his life and on his families. But he was willing
to take that risk to protect America. Eight five five
for zero five eight two five five the numbers. So
this falls into, I say, the evil category. I understand,
you know politics, politics is bare knuckles. You know, in
(13:50):
politics is a tough fight. But there are lines, and
there are certain lines. When you cross, it's immoral. And
it just shows you what a dishonest, what a dishonest
low character guy Walls is that he would take the
stage yesterday and behind this phony, fake veneer of oh,
this joyful this and that till a premeditated, deliberate, insidious
(14:16):
personal type character assassination.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Lie about JD.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Vance, And so here it is that this lie that
and it comes out of a lie that started circulating.
It's provably false circulating online that Vance had written about
having sex with the couch never happened, and Wals knows that,
but he decides to perpetuate that lie.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
And I got to tell you, I can't wait to
debate the guy, that is, if he's willing.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
To get off the couch and show up.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You see what I did there, and you see what
he does at the end. You see what I did there,
like some drunk on the bar, under the bar, etc. Well,
he's going to have the last laugh, I believe, and
if he doesn't, this country is in very, very very
deep trouble. But yeah, this whole act, it plays very
well to their base, and you're gonna have all these
big crowds and everything else. But as I open the
show saying, you think they're laughing, and I sure hope
(15:15):
we hear this comeback from President Trump and Jady Vans
and others. You think the American people are laughing and
joyous and celebrating these porous open borders that are causing
so much misery in America. You know, be it fentanyl,
be it other types of crime, be it overloads of systems.
You think Americans are laughing about that? You think Americans
(15:38):
are laughing about skyrocketing crime. You think Americans are laughing
about all of these other things that Harris and Walls celebrate.
I don't think they're laughing about that at all. All righty,
we'll mix calls and text right now. We'll start Bill
in Loveland here on the Dan Kapli Show.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Welcome Bill.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Yeah, Hey, damn, I can hardly hear you speaker phone
too because I'm driving. But hey, you got this thing
for this lane splitting And clearly you've never written a
motorcycle before in your life, and you have no idea.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
What you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Can I can I stop you there? Can I stop
you there? Bill?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, I am, I am going to stop you there? Okay,
because you back it up or pack it up. I've written,
I've written a lot, so you got it. You think
you can justify this, go ahead and justify it, but
you're not going to win an analytical argument by telling
lies about me.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Well, Dan, I'd love to justify it for you. You see,
clearly you've never ridden a motorcycle in highway traffic in
dense highways.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Okay, Bill, two strikes? You get three strikes on this show.
I don't know why it should be one strike. Yes,
I have Bill, and I've done it a lot, so
I don't know what your gripe with me is. But
I'm glad you have it, and I'm glad you're calling
this show with it. But why don't we just get
that out of the way and save everybod But a
lot of time? You know what's your gripe me? Because
(17:04):
you call this show saying bizarre false things. If you
really could win your case on the logic and the reason,
why wouldn't you just do that?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
Why?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Billy?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Am I am mute? Again? Do you keep putting me
on mute?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I really should have him on mute?
Speaker 8 (17:21):
But you won't let me talk.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I really know. I won't let you lie. I'll let
you talk all day.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, we'll get two more hours for this show, okay.
Because you start with lies, you start with personal attacks,
which are.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Fine if they have ever ridden a motorcycle?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Bill? Are you okay? I hope you're not driving in
this condition?
Speaker 9 (17:40):
Truth?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Have you ever ridden a motorcycle?
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Dan Boy?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Do you think he's okay, Bill, were you listening to this?
Can we get to your real agenda?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
What? What is it about me that bothers you?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
If you have any experience in this?
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Because you started this call by saying, Dan, you've never
written a motor cycle and I said, well no, Bill,
In fact I have I have many, many, many many times.
And they said, well you've never done it in the
highway and I said, yea, Bill, I have many many times. Listen,
I understand there are people on both sides of this issue.
If you've got a case to make for this insane, suicidal,
(18:17):
dangerous lane splitting.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Maked you're listening to the Dan Caplis Show podcast to have.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
The chance to talk to Todd Watkins. He's been on
with us before l Passo County GOP. I believe chair
or co chair title clarify that for us. But Todd
has been doing a tremendous amount of work along with
Nancy Pelasi and others, to try to oust Dave Williams
as county chair, including fighting the court battles that you
know Todd told us he would fight the last time
(18:46):
he was here, and having just won, now clearing the
way for a vote on whether Dave should be removed
or not. So Todd back for an update. You're on
the Dan CAPLA show. How you doing, Todd?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I'm doing great, Dan, And yes you are getting increasingly
mean with your bumper music.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But that's that's Ryan, that's right, that's not me but
my friend. So just give us the landscape. Where does
everything stand now after the court's recent order.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Well, so the Court did dissolve the tro and it's
probably worthwhile to explain why the Court dissolved that tro.
The Court agreed with us that they do not have
jurisdiction in a party fight. The party is fully equipped
and statutorily empowered and even required to solve its matters
(19:41):
internally through the Central Committee. One three six is a statute,
if anybody wants to go look at it. Really, before
the Court could even entertain any of this, and what
they what what Dave did is I'm just I'm going
to be blunt. Dave lied to the Court about what
had happened. Presented to the Court that the Central Committee
(20:03):
had had declared our meeting on the twenty seventh of
July invalid, illegitimate, illegal, That's not what happened. It was
the Executive Committee. The Central Committee was actually supposed to
meet on the twenty seventh and could have decided that matter.
That judge agreed with us, so he dissolved the temporary
restraining order and even citing in his decision that he
(20:27):
improvidently granted that temporary restraining order meeting, he never should
have granted it in the first place because he was
misled by the plaintiff. So now as we left that
hearing on well yesterday, as we left that hearing, the
(20:50):
next hearing for the underlying injunction that they asked for
was scheduled for this Friday. Well, the judge canceled that
meeting instructed the attorneys to file briefs to state. Look,
as far as I see this, meaning the judge, I
don't have a role here, so tell me I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, yeah, So if you have a meeting sketch, we don't.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Think he's gonna change his name. Yep.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
August twenty fourth, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Okay, what do you expect to happen there?
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Well, first, we will have a Since Nancy Palazzi and
I did appeal the Executive Committee's decision, from my gosh,
when was that July nine, July ten, something like that,
where they said that we weren't allowed to have a meeting.
I mean, our position on this is that's not the
(21:42):
Executive Committee's position. That's an invented power to say that
they can't that that they that the Central Committee cannot
call a meeting when the bylaws say that the Central
Committee can call a meeting. We don't think it's a controversy.
So we will ask the Central Committee gathered there on
the twenty fourth, to make a final ruling in accordance
(22:04):
with the bylaws and with statute as to that controversy
in air quotes. And once we resolve that, we will
move on to motions to remove the well of the
State officers.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
And do you think Dave Williams will be removed at
that meeting? Or that, to be more precise, there will
be what does it take? Two thirds or sixty percent?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Sixty?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay, you think you'll get the sixty Oh yeah, yeah,
and yep oh And then what happens then? Do you
is there a new chair elected at that same meeting?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
The yes that we actually put that in the call.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
So our intention is to not leave. We're not going
to leave any of these leadership positions uncovered, We're not
going to leave them vacant. We're not going to leave
them you know as an acting We're going to elect
new leadership right then and there and get onto the
business of the party.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Is there somebody who's selected at this point to be
the new leader or people who are now campaigning for
that position?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
How can that work?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
There are people campaigning for it now, not a selection.
So it's the way this works is the Central Committee,
which is the that is the most powerful governing body
of the party in the state, is the Central Committee
that they're going to remove these officers that they elected,
(23:33):
and then they are going to decide on who that
is that takes that place. And of course this is
this is only until March. There will be an organization
meeting in March, you know, per statute, and.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So Todd started interrupt. But so what happens now is okay,
you go ahead, you have this meeting. You expect you'll
have the votes to remove Dave. A new chair will
be elected from among it sounds like several who are
competing right now, and then presumably Dave will refuse to go.
Is that what's expected at this point?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
If I were going to do, say, like a profile
based on his conduct, his behavior and his messaging, No,
he's not going to go. It's the RNC is going
to have to ring in on this.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
We already know that, Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
So then this scenario plays out, Who at the RNC
makes this decision and when.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Well, we hope as soon as possible. Right, So it's
going to be just like Michigan, So it would actually
be their Central Committee we decide this controversy.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And how quickly.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
We would hope that we could get it done within
a week, two weeks.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And does part of your confidence here that Dave's going
to be removed come from the criticism of him from
Congresswoman Bobert in addition to you know, the many of
the other at least folks who want primaries.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
That does play apart, but largely it's because leading up
to the July twenty seventh meeting, we were making phone
calls to the Central Committee. Yeah, so we know where
we stand.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Okay, Wow, Well, I guess the only other question I'd
have is, you know, there are those people out there
who say, well, hey, you know we're coming up in
an election, why not Wait, what would you say to those.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Folks, why would you wait to meet to replace corrupt,
ineffective and hazardous leadership. You're not going to.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Win anything with these people in power right now. Look
at how they're conducting themselves. It's it's never a good
time to do this. But it's also never a good
time to let this continue on m We we have
to take action. We have to take corrective action, and
it needs to be decisive. I mean, we tried to
(26:08):
be decisive, but I would you know, you know, reinforce
the fact that this was the leadership waged law fair
against its own members to silence and shut us down
because he doesn't he will not allow himself to be
removed and depotism and if.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I remember correctly, I think that at this point, in
addition to Congressoman Bobert, who was publicly critical of Dave,
haven't the big three here heard Krank and Evans, these
highly respected you know, nominees, and these key congressional races.
Haven't they all called for Dave's removal?
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, And I think Gave Gave has a couple
of times I think.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, well, I've just got to tell you, I know
there's some wonderful, wonderful people in this audience right now
who disagree with me on this. But as I've said before,
I think that you and Nancy and others who stood
up to this after you voted for Dave, right, you
voted for Dave to be chaired, after you I helped.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I helped him, you know, with his goal candidacy, Yeah,
coming into the state chair. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
I have to accept responsibility.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Well, no, no, listen to a fair share of it
for him being there to begin with.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Well, and I think at this point it flips because
I think in part because you did that, you and
Nancy and others deserve a tremendous amount of praise and
credit for being willing to stand up and take on
this fight knowing that Dave's m always I see it
has been very personal, vicious attacks on those who stand
up with, you know, disagreements like this. So I think
(27:51):
I think you're serving the state, forget the party. I
think you're serving the state very well, because the more
Republicans win, the.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Better for the state. But Todd, appreciate the time and
keep us po sure, Dan, I will thank you take
care of that is Todd Watkins. Hey, when we come back.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
When we come back, credible terrorist threats have just caused
the cancelation of some might argue the most important public
event in the world that scheduled for this weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You're on the Dan Kaplish.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
My hard Bricks for all those kids.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You know, we just happened to be mentioned that Amy
and I thirtieth anniversary. We took this great trip because
she's been a Sound of Music fans since she was
a little girl. So we took this great trip to Switzerland.
The kids were all tied up at work and they
couldn't go, unfortunately, but we just had a wonderful week
together and then we were flying home. I shouldn't say
(28:51):
completely tied up at work because our daughter was on
a separate trip and we all had kind of reunited
in Munich to fly back Denver because he can get
a direct out of Munich and Taylor Swift just happened
to be in Munich that night and we did not go.
My daughter and I together. It's a father daughter thing
we've probably been to. I'm guessing now fifteen sixteen seventeen
(29:15):
Taylor Swift shows, we drove to all them off for one,
all the ones in Denver, et cetera. So anyway, you
see all these little kids over there and traveled from
all these other countries by training and everything else, and
with their parents, and they're all dressed up, and you
know they've been planning on it forever to go to
that show in Munich that night, just as they do
(29:35):
here in Colorado. They come from all the surrounding states.
So to get this news at three shows in Vienna
this weekend now canceled because of credible terrorist threats to
attack the stadium. Just sick and sad and a reminder
of how real this evil is. And Kamala Harris of
course says, we cannot say radical Islamic terror, and you
(29:57):
wonder why would she ever utter a statement like that,
But in any case, just very very sad that these
kids are going to be deprived of that. Hey, we
have a lot of sound to get back to as
more and more comes out. And I think, what's going
to go down as the worst vice presidential pick in
modern American history, And so we'll get back to that.
You see that Ryan somehow Polis wrangled his way onto
(30:19):
CNN and the good news is we learned that he
has a tie, right, we learned that he had, so Hill,
we're a tie to go on CNN. Nice and you know,
never got a sniff in this whole VP thing, which
is very telling, right, just confirming what I've been saying
all along. These these democrats are in this Colorado bubble
where they're protected by all the leftist money and media,
(30:41):
but then when they try to get out in the
real world, people just laugh at him.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Let's go back to Bill. Bill had called the show.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Earlier, did not start well or end well, and had
wanted to disagree with me, which I sure do appreciate
on this issue of quote lane filtering, which thanks to
the Left, is soon going to be legal in Colorado. Bill,
do you want to make your case or just take
some more shots at me, which we always enjoyed but
gets boring.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Well, well, I do want you to speak and go
ahead and make your points, so you'll give me the floor.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You're the one who called this show to make But
I've already made my point, which is this new lane filtering,
and I put that filtering word in quote law is
insane and it's going to get a lot of innocent
people killed, and the left just doesn't care.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
Okay, Can I say just to you like you said
to me? Lies lies and lies mean people care. It's
not going to get a bunch of people killed. And
I think what you're saying is insane because what you're
saying is not what is being proposed is not insane. Okay,
why lane splitting? Lane splitting is safe and when you
(31:50):
do it by the law, and I believe in this
case the law, which you should know, should say up
to fifty miles an hour, no more than five miles
an hour above the flow of traffic. So when it's
done in that manner, Dan, it is extremely so yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yes, tell people what lane splitting is saying. The Colorado law,
by the way, is that the coloraud of law. This
is getting boring. The Colorado law, by the way, is
lane filtering not lane splitting. I'll explain the difference. But
Bill explain, Oh Bill, just very sensitive guy. Here's the difference.
Lane filtering is what is legal in Colorado. It in
(32:30):
and of itself is unsafe. And lane filtering now means
that motorcycles when this becomes effective beginning, well, I guess
it begins today lane filtering means that if traffic is stopped,
motorcycles can drive between down the lane between the stopped
cars okay, when it's stopped traffic, and then can park
(32:54):
in front of the traffic in the front. But lane
splitting is when the cars don't have to be stopped
and motorcycles can just split the lanes. One of the
reasons that lane filtering is so dangerous is obviously it's
going to result in a lot of lane splitting, because
first of all, okay, the traffic may be stopped right now,
(33:16):
but then all of a sudden, the traffic's moving, So
as a practical matter, it's going to result in a
lot of lane splitting. The other thing is a lot
of people are just going to hear that, like our caller,
lane splitting is legal now, and they're just going to
lane split and listen, anybody with the brain can look
at this and know that if you're going to have
motorcycles driving down the lanes between cars on other sides
(33:40):
other side, bad things are going to happen. So there's
no reason for this. It makes no sense, and it's
like so many other things the Left has done that
have just caused all these unnecessary deaths and misery eight
five five for zero five eight two five five the
number and by the way, have exposed that the rest
(34:02):
of the driving population, I'm in no way, shape or
form biased against bikers, not at all. And the color
had started with this bizarre fabrication that I've never ridden
a motorcycle, when I've operated a motorcycle many many, many,
many many times, including on the highway. Not biased at all.
The point just being that the vast majority of folks
(34:23):
are in cars, and listen, I've represented so many motorcyclists
who've been horribly injured, the families of those who've been killed.
I just don't want people unnecessarily injured or killed. And
the vast majority who are operating cars this makes it
so much more paralyzed, It perilous for them, and creates
so much unnecessary legal liability, but more importantly, the unnecessary carnage.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Glad you were here,
so much to talk about, much of it obviously tied
to the most bizarre and consequential presidential election of our lifetime,
(00:22):
but so many other things going on as well, including
right here in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So quick overview.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, I'm going to continue to talk about what I
think is one of the biggest mistakes in modern American
political history, and that is Harris's selection of Walls, and
will continue to get into more specifics, more detail, because
I think what's becoming very very clear is is that, yeah,
obviously he was not the best pick, and she had
(00:51):
a chance to lock Pennsylvania didn't take it. All that
stuff we've talked about, But as we get deeper and
deeper into Walls himself, you've got leave that they either
didn't have adequate time to vet him, or didn't do
a very good job of it, or in the end,
you know, she just went with her own insecurities and
did not want Shapiro Kelly, et cetera being so obviously
(01:14):
better than her. She ends up with Walls. But he
has so much baggage. And listen, I get it. I
get it that they're going to get these big crowds,
and they're going to get enthusiastic crowds, and he's this
kind of goofball entertainer. And by the way, that word,
I don't know if you saw it, Ryan the New
York Times used that word for him. Goofball The New
(01:35):
York Times use that word, and then playing up what
a great benefit it is to have the goofball factor
on the trail and listen for the base I get that.
I get that this guy's just going to be like
the guy who I'm not saying he's drinking on the job,
that's not my point. But he's going to be like
you know, that grandfather who's had too many drinks and
he's down in the basement and all the kids are
(01:57):
laughing at him. I get all of that, and he
show a really I won't call it an evil side,
but he did an evil thing yesterday. I want to
talk about that just shows you know that the real
core nature of this guy and lack of character at
least in this example and many other examples. But the
point is, the base ain't going to win you the election.
(02:19):
And so they're going to have those big crowds, they're
going to have the base, They're going to have the
base excited. But it comes down to, as we all know,
these six states and the Democrats' support is is wasted
in a lot of ways in these major cities and
solidly blue states. And you think the base within Wisconsin,
the base within Arizona, the base within Pennsylvania itself is
(02:41):
going to win the election for you know. And so
I think one of the reasons this will be looked
back on as the biggest blunder since what was his name,
Eagleton with McGovern right, is that he alienates. This guy
is going to alienate people in the middle, excite the
hell out of the base, alien eight people in the middle.
(03:01):
And as we get into more specifics, if you haven't
heard her seen these things already, you'll know why.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And if you have heard or seen.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Them, you're going to enjoy this because if like me,
you want to see Trump win and you want to
see conservatives back in power, then then you're going to
be very very happy to hear that Walls and by extension,
Harris have all of these problems, which raises the issue,
you know, will he make it through the convention? Now, Listen,
I'm the guy who's sat here not to be a
(03:28):
jerk about it, but sat here and made really bold,
accurate after accurate predictions, including that Biden would not be
the nominee. I am not sitting here at four h
nine on this Wednesday afternoon telling you that that Walls
will be out before.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
The end of the convention. I'm not telling you that.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
If I'm betting the car, I bet he stays on
the ticket. But there is at least that possibility out there,
given all of the stuff that's coming up in just
the first forty eight hours. So we're going to talk
about that eight five five four zero five eight two
five five text DN five seven seven three nine. But wait,
there's more, and I want to talk about some some
(04:08):
look around the corner stuff. It is not getting much
attention right now. I think it really should, and I
think the current Trump campaign strategy, which is being criticized
by some, is being shaped in large part by this. Listen,
what most people don't have on their calendar right now,
is that Donald Trump is going to be wrongfully sentenced
(04:31):
in this wrongfully pursued bogus prosecution in New York. He's
going to be sentenced in mid September. And that's going
to be a dynamic in a presidential race that we
have not seen before where leading candidate for president is
going to be sentenced for jail literally days before the
(04:51):
balloting starts in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. So
do you think do you think that's sentenced scene is
going to help or hert Trump. I want to get
your take on that. I have strong feelings for good
reasons about that. Eight five five four zero five eight
two five to five the number text d A N
five seven seven three nine. Also want to talk about
(05:16):
this move by Trump, which is politically brilliant, and even
the New York Times today said it has quote unquote
real appeal, and it's been kind of lost ran and
all of the craziness regarding deposing the democratically chosen Biden
and then dragging the socialist Walts in. It's the fact
(05:37):
that the President Trump in the middle all of all that,
has has said that as president, he will eliminate taxes
on Social Security. I can't remember a presidential candidate in
my lifetime saying they will do that. But that's a
position that he has taken, and so I want to
get your reaction to that, see if you think it's
(05:58):
going to be a game changer some other things on
the agenda more locally, we haven't been on this for
a while because of all this national craziness. All right,
now that the court has ruled that you can go
forward with a vote now on whether to remove Dave Williams.
Do you think Dave Williams should be removed as GOP
chair in Colorado? We're going to cover that as well
(06:20):
as and Ryan. This drives me crazy. And you know
the reason it drives me crazy, in large part other
than trying to be a good human, is my job.
I handle catastrophic injury cases. I represent victims, so I
spend a lot of my day and I'm not looking
for sympathy. I'm grateful to have the opportunity I have
in this job, but I spend a lot of my
(06:40):
day looking at pictures of people who were alive a
minute ago and are now dead, and their kids don't
have a father or mother, or they're paralyzed and they're
mangled and everything else. And so when I see these lefties,
who obviously don't care at all about human life, when
I see these lefties pass these laws that they got
(07:00):
to know, if they're sober and they're thinking for a second,
they got to know, are going to mean that the
children are going to come home from school and no
longer have their father, parents are going to get that
call at work and no longer have their son or daughter,
and they pass these laws anyway drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
But it just goes back to the lack.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Of respect for human life at the entire spectrum, the
entire continuum that you see from the left. And and this
example what I'm talking about is this insane motorcycle lane
quote filtering that's now going into effect in Colorado because
of the Left. And I'm sure you've experienced it on
the roadways. I'm sure you've experienced it over the course
(07:42):
of your driving lifetime. But now that it's actually been
legalized and green lighted in Colorado pun intended, Yeah, yeah,
what else can that do other than cost more innocent
lives and lots of human misery. So all of that
ahead today and what we can back. I want to
start with something that I think is I think it
(08:05):
was an evil act. I think it was a flat
out evil act. I'm not calling Walls evil. I think
he supports some clearly blatantly evil things, and I think
this was a flat out evil act. Yesterday when he
he lied, he spread this insidious lie. It's a flat
(08:25):
out lie. There's no basis in fact that JD Lands
had sex with a couch. And to do that, what's that?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh? Did I you know why?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I said that one of the great youth baseball coaches
ever ever and a superb, superb fireman. Yeah, J is
a great human who would never do such a thing.
So JD vance. So imagine how this is and what
(09:01):
it tells you about Walls and his lack of character
that on this national stage being introduced as the vice
presidential nominee, he would get up and tell that kind
of insidious personal live that he knew to be a
lie about the GOP vice presidential nominee alleged that he
(09:22):
had sex with a couch.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I mean, but that just tells you what you're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You have some people on the left they're just wrong
on the issues, but they're generally high character people. And
then you got some real low character people, and Walls
is proving himself in many different ways to be very
very low character. But I want you to hear the
sound eight five five for zero five eight two five
five the number text d an five seven seven three.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Nine and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I've just signed Executive Order twenty dash zero one declaring
a peacetime state of emergency for the state of Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
We need to congregating.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
We're going to close the bars, We're going to close
the restaurants. We're going to close the places where we gathered.
Several one hundred thousand of your neighbors were just laid off.
An entire industry has been shut down. In the face
of this, all for the greater good.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I'm the governor, with the power of the state constitution
behind him, has issued one hundred and four executive orders
affecting everything from schools to restaurants and bars to churches
to basically every facet of everyday life. Democrats who control
the House are moving in the opposite direction.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Some are pushing to put a mask mandate in state laws.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Hi, how the jerry? Why where a Vestistall it helps
to kate, they say.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Explosive testimony from a Minneapolis police union official who says
that the governor ordered cops who abandoned that third precinct
during the Springs rioting.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I was in the command post.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
I heard it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I heard the governor say give it up.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Thirty two Chief Aradondo calls them there to tell him
they've lost control, can no longer maintain order in the city.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And then at ten thirteen, Chief Aradonda.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Who's monitoring the scene from a couple blocks away, gets
in the radio to announce a few.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
A kitty white John right now at our lot of
the dirt rising.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Has been compromised.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Marison, I request the National Guard, who I'm on this straight.
We're gonna have massively trained troops. No, you're gonna have
nineteen year old who are cooked.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, boy, I think this is a total disaster for them.
Fortunately this Tim Walls will continue to pass along new information,
including much that we already have for this show. But
I want to call your attention to such a dishonest headline.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
This is CNN and listen to this.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Sources Hesbela poised to strike Israel independent of Iran. Now,
why is CNN carrying Iran's water here? You really think
Hesbela is going to act independent of Iran. Of course,
CNN is trying to shield Iran from the blowback for
the attack on Israel that's about to come from Iran
(12:10):
via Asbla. So why is CNN trying to carry Iran's water?
Eight five five for zero five A two five five
the number TEXTDA and five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
We'll get to those texts now. I'm sure you saw yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Oh, I got to get to this evil thing that
Walls did yesterday first. But I'm sure you saw the
reporting yesterday just confirming yet another arrest in connection with
Iran's ongoing effort to have President Trump assassinated, right and
against that backdrop, Look what the Democrats are doing, all
(12:45):
of that same all of the same falsehoods, all of
the same lies, all of the same behavior, which they
know is sending a message, sending a message to nutjobs
out there that hey, this guy's got to be eliminated
now Iran. Iran is after him anyway, and has been
after him for a long time. And the Biden administration
(13:06):
knew that when it failed to provide Trump with the
protection he should have had. But think about why Iran
is after him, and I sure hope the President nails
this at the appropriate time, maybe in the debate. Iran
is after him because Trump was willing to risk his
life and his family's lives to take out Solamani in
order to protect American troops in American homeland. And Trump
(13:29):
knew the second he gave that order that it would
put a target on his back for the rest of
his life and on his families. But he was willing
to take that risk to protect America. Eight five five
for zero five eight two five five the numbers. So
this falls into, I say, the evil category. I understand,
you know politics, politics is bare knuckles. You know, in
(13:50):
politics is a tough fight. But there are lines, and
there are certain lines. When you cross, it's immoral. And
it just shows you what a dishonest, what a dishonest
low character guy Walls is that he would take the
stage yesterday and behind this phony, fake veneer of oh,
this joyful this and that till a premeditated, deliberate, insidious
(14:16):
personal type character assassination.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Lie about JD.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Vance, And so here it is that this lie that
and it comes out of a lie that started circulating.
It's provably false circulating online that Vance had written about
having sex with the couch never happened, and Wals knows that,
but he decides to perpetuate that lie.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
And I got to tell you, I can't wait to
debate the guy, that is, if he's willing.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
To get off the couch and show up.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You see what I did there, and you see what
he does at the end. You see what I did there,
like some drunk on the bar, under the bar, etc. Well,
he's going to have the last laugh, I believe, and
if he doesn't, this country is in very, very very
deep trouble. But yeah, this whole act, it plays very
well to their base, and you're gonna have all these
big crowds and everything else. But as I open the
show saying, you think they're laughing, and I sure hope
(15:15):
we hear this comeback from President Trump and Jady Vans
and others. You think the American people are laughing and
joyous and celebrating these porous open borders that are causing
so much misery in America. You know, be it fentanyl,
be it other types of crime, be it overloads of systems.
You think Americans are laughing about that? You think Americans
(15:38):
are laughing about skyrocketing crime. You think Americans are laughing
about all of these other things that Harris and Walls celebrate.
I don't think they're laughing about that at all. All righty,
we'll mix calls and text right now. We'll start Bill
in Loveland here on the Dan Kapli Show.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Welcome Bill.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Yeah, Hey, damn, I can hardly hear you speaker phone
too because I'm driving. But hey, you got this thing
for this lane splitting And clearly you've never written a
motorcycle before in your life, and you have no idea.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
What you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Can I can I stop you there? Can I stop
you there? Bill?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, I am, I am going to stop you there? Okay,
because you back it up or pack it up. I've written,
I've written a lot, so you got it. You think
you can justify this, go ahead and justify it, but
you're not going to win an analytical argument by telling
lies about me.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Well, Dan, I'd love to justify it for you. You see,
clearly you've never ridden a motorcycle in highway traffic in
dense highways.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Okay, Bill, two strikes? You get three strikes on this show.
I don't know why it should be one strike. Yes,
I have Bill, and I've done it a lot, so
I don't know what your gripe with me is. But
I'm glad you have it, and I'm glad you're calling
this show with it. But why don't we just get
that out of the way and save everybod But a
lot of time? You know what's your gripe me? Because
(17:04):
you call this show saying bizarre false things. If you
really could win your case on the logic and the reason,
why wouldn't you just do that?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
Why?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Billy?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Am I am mute? Again? Do you keep putting me
on mute?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I really should have him on mute?
Speaker 8 (17:21):
But you won't let me talk.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I really know. I won't let you lie. I'll let
you talk all day.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, we'll get two more hours for this show, okay.
Because you start with lies, you start with personal attacks,
which are.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Fine if they have ever ridden a motorcycle?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Bill? Are you okay? I hope you're not driving in
this condition?
Speaker 9 (17:40):
Truth?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Have you ever ridden a motorcycle?
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Dan Boy?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Do you think he's okay, Bill, were you listening to this?
Can we get to your real agenda?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
What? What is it about me that bothers you?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
If you have any experience in this?
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Because you started this call by saying, Dan, you've never
written a motor cycle and I said, well no, Bill,
In fact I have I have many, many, many many times.
And they said, well you've never done it in the
highway and I said, yea, Bill, I have many many times. Listen,
I understand there are people on both sides of this issue.
If you've got a case to make for this insane, suicidal,
(18:17):
dangerous lane splitting.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Maked you're listening to the Dan Caplis Show podcast to have.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
The chance to talk to Todd Watkins. He's been on
with us before l Passo County GOP. I believe chair
or co chair title clarify that for us. But Todd
has been doing a tremendous amount of work along with
Nancy Pelasi and others, to try to oust Dave Williams
as county chair, including fighting the court battles that you
know Todd told us he would fight the last time
(18:46):
he was here, and having just won, now clearing the
way for a vote on whether Dave should be removed
or not. So Todd back for an update. You're on
the Dan CAPLA show. How you doing, Todd?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I'm doing great, Dan, And yes you are getting increasingly
mean with your bumper music.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But that's that's Ryan, that's right, that's not me but
my friend. So just give us the landscape. Where does
everything stand now after the court's recent order.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Well, so the Court did dissolve the tro and it's
probably worthwhile to explain why the Court dissolved that tro.
The Court agreed with us that they do not have
jurisdiction in a party fight. The party is fully equipped
and statutorily empowered and even required to solve its matters
(19:41):
internally through the Central Committee. One three six is a statute,
if anybody wants to go look at it. Really, before
the Court could even entertain any of this, and what
they what what Dave did is I'm just I'm going
to be blunt. Dave lied to the Court about what
had happened. Presented to the Court that the Central Committee
(20:03):
had had declared our meeting on the twenty seventh of
July invalid, illegitimate, illegal, That's not what happened. It was
the Executive Committee. The Central Committee was actually supposed to
meet on the twenty seventh and could have decided that matter.
That judge agreed with us, so he dissolved the temporary
restraining order and even citing in his decision that he
(20:27):
improvidently granted that temporary restraining order meeting, he never should
have granted it in the first place because he was
misled by the plaintiff. So now as we left that
hearing on well yesterday, as we left that hearing, the
(20:50):
next hearing for the underlying injunction that they asked for
was scheduled for this Friday. Well, the judge canceled that
meeting instructed the attorneys to file briefs to state. Look,
as far as I see this, meaning the judge, I
don't have a role here, so tell me I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, yeah, So if you have a meeting sketch, we don't.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Think he's gonna change his name. Yep.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
August twenty fourth, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Okay, what do you expect to happen there?
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Well, first, we will have a Since Nancy Palazzi and
I did appeal the Executive Committee's decision, from my gosh,
when was that July nine, July ten, something like that,
where they said that we weren't allowed to have a meeting.
I mean, our position on this is that's not the
(21:42):
Executive Committee's position. That's an invented power to say that
they can't that that they that the Central Committee cannot
call a meeting when the bylaws say that the Central
Committee can call a meeting. We don't think it's a controversy.
So we will ask the Central Committee gathered there on
the twenty fourth, to make a final ruling in accordance
(22:04):
with the bylaws and with statute as to that controversy
in air quotes. And once we resolve that, we will
move on to motions to remove the well of the
State officers.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
And do you think Dave Williams will be removed at
that meeting? Or that, to be more precise, there will
be what does it take? Two thirds or sixty percent?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Sixty?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay, you think you'll get the sixty Oh yeah, yeah,
and yep oh And then what happens then? Do you
is there a new chair elected at that same meeting?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
The yes that we actually put that in the call.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
So our intention is to not leave. We're not going
to leave any of these leadership positions uncovered, We're not
going to leave them vacant. We're not going to leave
them you know as an acting We're going to elect
new leadership right then and there and get onto the
business of the party.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Is there somebody who's selected at this point to be
the new leader or people who are now campaigning for
that position?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
How can that work?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
There are people campaigning for it now, not a selection.
So it's the way this works is the Central Committee,
which is the that is the most powerful governing body
of the party in the state, is the Central Committee
that they're going to remove these officers that they elected,
(23:33):
and then they are going to decide on who that
is that takes that place. And of course this is
this is only until March. There will be an organization
meeting in March, you know, per statute, and.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So Todd started interrupt. But so what happens now is okay,
you go ahead, you have this meeting. You expect you'll
have the votes to remove Dave. A new chair will
be elected from among it sounds like several who are
competing right now, and then presumably Dave will refuse to go.
Is that what's expected at this point?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
If I were going to do, say, like a profile
based on his conduct, his behavior and his messaging, No,
he's not going to go. It's the RNC is going
to have to ring in on this.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
We already know that, Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
So then this scenario plays out, Who at the RNC
makes this decision and when.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Well, we hope as soon as possible. Right, So it's
going to be just like Michigan, So it would actually
be their Central Committee we decide this controversy.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And how quickly.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
We would hope that we could get it done within
a week, two weeks.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And does part of your confidence here that Dave's going
to be removed come from the criticism of him from
Congresswoman Bobert in addition to you know, the many of
the other at least folks who want primaries.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
That does play apart, but largely it's because leading up
to the July twenty seventh meeting, we were making phone
calls to the Central Committee. Yeah, so we know where
we stand.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Okay, Wow, Well, I guess the only other question I'd
have is, you know, there are those people out there
who say, well, hey, you know we're coming up in
an election, why not Wait, what would you say to those.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Folks, why would you wait to meet to replace corrupt,
ineffective and hazardous leadership. You're not going to.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Win anything with these people in power right now. Look
at how they're conducting themselves. It's it's never a good
time to do this. But it's also never a good
time to let this continue on m We we have
to take action. We have to take corrective action, and
it needs to be decisive. I mean, we tried to
(26:08):
be decisive, but I would you know, you know, reinforce
the fact that this was the leadership waged law fair
against its own members to silence and shut us down
because he doesn't he will not allow himself to be
removed and depotism and if.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I remember correctly, I think that at this point, in
addition to Congressoman Bobert, who was publicly critical of Dave,
haven't the big three here heard Krank and Evans, these
highly respected you know, nominees, and these key congressional races.
Haven't they all called for Dave's removal?
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, And I think Gave Gave has a couple
of times I think.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, well, I've just got to tell you, I know
there's some wonderful, wonderful people in this audience right now
who disagree with me on this. But as I've said before,
I think that you and Nancy and others who stood
up to this after you voted for Dave, right, you
voted for Dave to be chaired, after you I helped.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I helped him, you know, with his goal candidacy, Yeah,
coming into the state chair. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
I have to accept responsibility.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Well, no, no, listen to a fair share of it
for him being there to begin with.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Well, and I think at this point it flips because
I think in part because you did that, you and
Nancy and others deserve a tremendous amount of praise and
credit for being willing to stand up and take on
this fight knowing that Dave's m always I see it
has been very personal, vicious attacks on those who stand
up with, you know, disagreements like this. So I think
(27:51):
I think you're serving the state, forget the party. I
think you're serving the state very well, because the more
Republicans win, the.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Better for the state. But Todd, appreciate the time and
keep us po sure, Dan, I will thank you take
care of that is Todd Watkins. Hey, when we come back.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
When we come back, credible terrorist threats have just caused
the cancelation of some might argue the most important public
event in the world that scheduled for this weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You're on the Dan Kaplish.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
My hard Bricks for all those kids.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You know, we just happened to be mentioned that Amy
and I thirtieth anniversary. We took this great trip because
she's been a Sound of Music fans since she was
a little girl. So we took this great trip to Switzerland.
The kids were all tied up at work and they
couldn't go, unfortunately, but we just had a wonderful week
together and then we were flying home. I shouldn't say
(28:51):
completely tied up at work because our daughter was on
a separate trip and we all had kind of reunited
in Munich to fly back Denver because he can get
a direct out of Munich and Taylor Swift just happened
to be in Munich that night and we did not go.
My daughter and I together. It's a father daughter thing
we've probably been to. I'm guessing now fifteen sixteen seventeen
(29:15):
Taylor Swift shows, we drove to all them off for one,
all the ones in Denver, et cetera. So anyway, you
see all these little kids over there and traveled from
all these other countries by training and everything else, and
with their parents, and they're all dressed up, and you
know they've been planning on it forever to go to
that show in Munich that night, just as they do
(29:35):
here in Colorado. They come from all the surrounding states.
So to get this news at three shows in Vienna
this weekend now canceled because of credible terrorist threats to
attack the stadium. Just sick and sad and a reminder
of how real this evil is. And Kamala Harris of
course says, we cannot say radical Islamic terror, and you
(29:57):
wonder why would she ever utter a statement like that,
But in any case, just very very sad that these
kids are going to be deprived of that. Hey, we
have a lot of sound to get back to as
more and more comes out. And I think, what's going
to go down as the worst vice presidential pick in
modern American history, And so we'll get back to that.
You see that Ryan somehow Polis wrangled his way onto
(30:19):
CNN and the good news is we learned that he
has a tie, right, we learned that he had, so Hill,
we're a tie to go on CNN. Nice and you know,
never got a sniff in this whole VP thing, which
is very telling, right, just confirming what I've been saying
all along. These these democrats are in this Colorado bubble
where they're protected by all the leftist money and media,
(30:41):
but then when they try to get out in the
real world, people just laugh at him.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Let's go back to Bill. Bill had called the show.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Earlier, did not start well or end well, and had
wanted to disagree with me, which I sure do appreciate
on this issue of quote lane filtering, which thanks to
the Left, is soon going to be legal in Colorado. Bill,
do you want to make your case or just take
some more shots at me, which we always enjoyed but
gets boring.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Well, well, I do want you to speak and go
ahead and make your points, so you'll give me the floor.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You're the one who called this show to make But
I've already made my point, which is this new lane filtering,
and I put that filtering word in quote law is
insane and it's going to get a lot of innocent
people killed, and the left just doesn't care.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
Okay, Can I say just to you like you said
to me? Lies lies and lies mean people care. It's
not going to get a bunch of people killed. And
I think what you're saying is insane because what you're
saying is not what is being proposed is not insane. Okay,
why lane splitting? Lane splitting is safe and when you
(31:50):
do it by the law, and I believe in this
case the law, which you should know, should say up
to fifty miles an hour, no more than five miles
an hour above the flow of traffic. So when it's
done in that manner, Dan, it is extremely so yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yes, tell people what lane splitting is saying. The Colorado law,
by the way, is that the coloraud of law. This
is getting boring. The Colorado law, by the way, is
lane filtering not lane splitting. I'll explain the difference. But
Bill explain, Oh Bill, just very sensitive guy. Here's the difference.
Lane filtering is what is legal in Colorado. It in
(32:30):
and of itself is unsafe. And lane filtering now means
that motorcycles when this becomes effective beginning, well, I guess
it begins today lane filtering means that if traffic is stopped,
motorcycles can drive between down the lane between the stopped
cars okay, when it's stopped traffic, and then can park
(32:54):
in front of the traffic in the front. But lane
splitting is when the cars don't have to be stopped
and motorcycles can just split the lanes. One of the
reasons that lane filtering is so dangerous is obviously it's
going to result in a lot of lane splitting, because
first of all, okay, the traffic may be stopped right now,
(33:16):
but then all of a sudden, the traffic's moving, So
as a practical matter, it's going to result in a
lot of lane splitting. The other thing is a lot
of people are just going to hear that, like our caller,
lane splitting is legal now, and they're just going to
lane split and listen, anybody with the brain can look
at this and know that if you're going to have
motorcycles driving down the lanes between cars on other sides
(33:40):
other side, bad things are going to happen. So there's
no reason for this. It makes no sense, and it's
like so many other things the Left has done that
have just caused all these unnecessary deaths and misery eight
five five for zero five eight two five five the
number and by the way, have exposed that the rest
(34:02):
of the driving population, I'm in no way, shape or
form biased against bikers, not at all. And the color
had started with this bizarre fabrication that I've never ridden
a motorcycle, when I've operated a motorcycle many many, many,
many many times, including on the highway. Not biased at all.
The point just being that the vast majority of folks
(34:23):
are in cars, and listen, I've represented so many motorcyclists
who've been horribly injured, the families of those who've been killed.
I just don't want people unnecessarily injured or killed. And
the vast majority who are operating cars this makes it
so much more paralyzed, It perilous for them, and creates
so much unnecessary legal liability, but more importantly, the unnecessary carnage.
