know that's the opposite of that. How did that ever happen?
Can somebody explain that to me? Because I haven't been
(00:22):
here that long.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'll add up the year some days, maybe forty to
fifty years, something like that. But how did a state
blessed with, you know, one of the most beautiful places
on earth, right, blessed with this perfect location, all sorts
of reasons we should be the number one place.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
How did we become a magnet for all this anti
American lunacy?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Right? How did Colorado?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
How did Colorado become the magnet you know for these
they're so far left, they're so radical, these democrats, so
many of them will power in Colorado. You can't even
find the words for him. How did we ever get
to this point? And believe me, I understand the blueprint
and the book that was done on that. I get
all of that, But this goes so far beyond that,
(01:07):
because it seems to me we should be the opposite.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Of all that. So if you got any ideas, love
to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Three oh three someone three A two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine
the latest coming from a text or jeez, right, and
I go off to trial for three weeks and the
whole place goes to hell. I mean, pardon me, but
this text. I didn't know anything about this? Did you
know about this? It says, Dan, have you talked about
(01:35):
our state Rep. Loreina Garcia stating she is Antifa?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Did that really happen?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Yeah, she's quite far to the left and kind of
leaned into that whole identity. I think this is in
the wake of President Trump declaring Antifa domestic terror organization,
and she's going to stand her ground and say I
am Antifa.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, I appreciate her identifying herself that way, just so
everybody knows they can help everybody get a better understanding
of the Colorado Democratic Party. I'm looking at a text
from our friend George Brockler. Remember that Antifa Garcia voted
for probation for child rapists in the House Judiciary Committee.
Just a few months ago, and then George is reposting
(02:19):
Scott Bottom's tweet state Rep. Lorena Garcia has probably declared, quote,
I am Antifa. She even doubled down just days ago
she described Charlie Kirk's assassination by smearing the victim as hateful,
file bigoted woman, hating, anti black, white Christian nationalist. So yeah,
but that's where the power is in the Colorado Democratic Party, right,
(02:43):
and some hide it better than others. I'm not saying
they're all antifa. I'm guessing she's the only one who's
actually antifa. But in terms of radicalism controlling the Colorado
Democratic Party, there's I don't think there's any doubt about that.
My friend but goes on to say, is that worse
than being a liberal or is it all the same?
(03:03):
At this point, should we look at all Democrats as
and Taifa, now that their violence has become so frequent.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I would say that would be a fatal mistake if
and Ryan, I.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Think this may be the biggest biggest challenge for the
Colorado GOP right now, is understanding there is this enormous
block of Democrats. People who vote Democrat all the time,
voted Democrat their whole life, who are now persuadable because
they're not left wing nuts. They don't want that crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
They are persuadable.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I know as a guy who was a Democrat for years,
there's this stereotype right of the GOP, and so much
of this now is overcoming the stereotype of the GOP
because you got a whole bunch of Democrats who are persuadable,
So you want to commit electoral suicide? Will then at
that point just assume all these Democrat voters are nuts
(03:54):
just like the elected Democrats are. That's the way to
throw away elections that we could have actually win.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Does the Birthday Boy disagree with that?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
It's getting harder and harder Dan for those that are
on the left who don't speak out against Antifa, Garcia
and her ILK to credibly state that they're not one
and the same and part of them, they do need
to come out and articulate those differences. If it's a
senator Jeff Bridges, for example, you're a senator in mine
who I believe, in his heart of hearts and in
(04:25):
his practice as a senator, does present himself as moderate, and.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
That may let you in for a second may challenge you,
my friend, sure might. And by the way, do we
have like a go fund me up for your birthday
where people can send money in case you want to
go to Vegas or something we've done anything like that.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I'm gonna be doing just fine a comedy works tonight,
having a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
No, no, no, and just fine is fine. But I
want to see you go out to Centennial. You know,
I've never flown on a private jet. I want you
to do that before I do. So.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I've never flown up to project this.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
I can arrange a helicopter, right, yeah, with Tom Martino.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And I love Tom and I'm sure he's a great pilot.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
You're just thinking about that though, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Well, well, you know, maybe the helicopter thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm not so sure about the helicopter thing, but thank you, Kelly,
and I would. If I'm going to trust anybody behind
the controls of a helicopter, it's going to be our
friend Tom Martino. But but does anybody do that? Does
anybody do like gofundmes for their birthday?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I think just I don't want to do that, but
I mean I do appreciate I got a six pack
of old l I p A. I got a gift
card to Maggiano Slash Chili's Slash on the border from
you and Kelly, and I really appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
That's enough.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Plenty, my friend. Now it is true that the simple
things matter most. Yeah, there's so much love for you
in the audience, your audience and what's left of mine
that no, I I think something really special could have well,
and I love them.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
I did have lunch with Alexa today. It was glorious.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It was amazing, great, really fun Bombrus.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
She definitely is.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
So you're you were pushing back on me on Jeff
Bridges being a moderate.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, please, And and I don't want to get into
the weeds because most of our audience doesn't know Jeff
and doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I happen to like Jeff.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I see Jeff at some social stuff because he's friends
with friends of ours.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But I would challenge you on this show me action.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'm not talking about what kind of shell or costume
or facade somebody puts on. I don't mean any of
that negatively for Jeff, but show me what he has
actually done to break with the powers in his party.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I was just going to make that point, Dan, I
completely agree with you, because that there isn't really any
daylight between his votes and those of the radical, far left,
extreme wing of that Democratic Party in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Right, So, if those guys and girls who pretend to
be moderates, if they don't rhy up against these far
left koops who own and operate their party, how can
you expect the every day Democrat? And I'd go one
step further, I would not expect the every to day
Democrat to rise up against the power in the party
because the everyday Democrat who isn't involved in politics, they're
(07:16):
life centered elsewhere. Why should they take on that risk
and that abuse when you've got a party the left
right now, the left in Colorado and elsewhere in Colorado's
been worse for years, the left beliefs and the politics
of personal destruction cancel is mild, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So why would any of us.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Expect just your average hard working guy or gail who
happens to work Democrat to rise up against their party?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Well, how about nuts to do that?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
They would be.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
But how about I mean, we saw Amy Padden, who's
about as far left as you're going to get from
a prosecutor DA in the state of Colorado for the
eighteenth the Rappahole County, the one.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
I live in, the one you live in.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Even she's come on, Hash, you know, this whole competency thing,
this is not great phony.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
She did it, Oh she did it because hey, you
know there was this recall effort launched, was on the
heels of that probation deal for the guy who killed
that beautiful young, twenty four year old job in ninety
plus through a neighborhood. You know, I think that was
crocodile tears for political reasons, my humble opinion. But who yeah,
(08:21):
who on the left actually rises up against their powers. Nobody.
So it is on the GOP. And I'm not saying
it's easy, but it's on the GOP. To get it,
you got a lot of Democrats who are persuadable, a
lot of them who don't like what's going on in
the Democratic Party, and we got to figure out how
to get people past that stereotype they've had at the GOP.
(08:43):
Now I understand complicating it is nobody wants to give
GOP candidates any money, right because they don't think they
can win, and so I understand there's a catch twenty
two there. But you know, the people who fought the
American Revolution, that was no cruise liner, right, I mean,
they had to find a way.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
We got to find a way real quick. Dan, on
this issue, the competency won. I had a couple of
phone calls this morning from Ty Winner. I'll go ahead
and say that, and he's going to come out my
show early next week, and he wanted to clarify his
vote that in the final vote he did vote no. However,
this doesn't explain the many Republicans, including all of the
Senators except one that wasn't present, voting yes for this
(09:19):
competency stuff. That on one issue where there should be
absolute solidarity, and.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
You try to, you know, peel off.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Some Democrats look at the disaster that this has become
and one they didn't see it coming. They should have
two they went along with it, and it's like, why
compromise on that. I was told the same things you
were about constitutional issues, due process, but we are releasing
maniacs into the public here in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yes, it's a five alarm fire, and the fact that
it wasn't part of the last special session tells you
everything you need to know about Polus and the left. Now,
why get some Republicans, Why at least I respect, you know,
decide to support that. Let's talk about that after the break.
Then lots of other texts and somebody very unfairly getting
after me for allegedly supporting Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I don't know what that's all about. You're on the
Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Honestly, never thought these words would come out of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But I don't know whether the current president I States
with with prostitutes being on each other in Moscow in
twenty thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's possible, but I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
But how weird was that briefing.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It's really weird. I just wanted to get it done, and.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Thank you Ryan for stopping that. The only reason I
played that is because I think it's very important to
remember right now just how much evil James call Me did,
Just how much evil he engaged in to say things
like that to George Stephanopolis. That was just flat out evil.
(10:56):
The coup attempt was evil. That doesn't mean he's guilty
of the crime he's charged with because there are a
lot of evil things someone can do, you know, when
it comes to our government and comes to America, that
doesn't constitute a crime, but so many evil things that
he did the opposite of a patriot. And you think
(11:18):
about the horrific disservice he did to all the great
men and women of the FBI, so many of whom
risk their lives for us.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, he was just.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And one of the lasting services, the great acts of
service Trump is done, is open the eyes of people
like me to the fact that you can have that
kind of rot at the top of an institution as
great as the FBI. You know, I'm the son of
a thirty year cop. He's my hero, he's the best
man at my wedding. But I could have never imagined
(11:49):
that in the top position of the FBI in modern times, right.
I mean, you read on and see all this stuff
about Hoover, But in modern times you could have that
kind of rot at the top of such a great institution.
But Trump opened eyes to that. We're going to be
a better country because of that. And then these criminal charges.
We talked about it at link earlier. As we got
into some of the granular stuff, we're just gonna have
(12:11):
to wait until the trial, and there is likely to
be a trial because we can't know the things that
are most important to know from the outside right now
unless there are a whole bunch of leaks.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Let me get to some of these texts.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Their texts are as always exploding, grateful for that, Dan,
don't curse the dark shine of light. Don't argue that
the left is doing the wrong thing, argue that the
Republicans in our state are joining them. This brings us
back to the conversation we've been having about this bill
that is letting all of these incompetent, dangerous criminals back
(12:43):
out on the street because they are deemed non restorable. Obviously,
this is a five alarm fire, This is a public
safety threat of the highest magnitude, and we have a
governor who's not calling a special session to fix it.
And we all know where this is at it right
there's going to be something so horrific happened, then there'll
(13:04):
be a special session. It shouldn't have to get to
that now. The fair question as to why so many
respected Republicans voted for this bill to begin with, I
think we got at least I got a much better
understanding of that yesterday when Barb Kirkmeyer joined us, and
as I understand it from Barb, there wasn't any law
enforcement opposition to it, that there wasn't an understanding on
(13:26):
the part of the GOP as to that it would
become unworkable in real life because there wasn't going to
be this ability to get the civil commitment that you
would need to keep these dangerous people off the streets.
And so Ryan, it sounds like you're at the polar
opposite of where I'm at right now, whereas you are highly,
(13:47):
highly critical of all of the Republicans who voted for it.
I think I have an understanding as to how the
mistake got made, and now it's a matter of needing
to fix it yesterday and only polists can call that
special session.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
That part's true.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
But when I spoke with Representative Brandy Bradley, who I
need to give credit to, was a hard no through
all of this, So is the Bottoms. So there were
Republicans that were standing up for this against it. Okay,
she's saying that unless they, like you said, they're going
to reconvene in January. But between now and then, almost
open season.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
You're right, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, and you look,
one victim is too much, right, one victim is too
much from these dangerous criminals being released downto the street.
But the potential for a mass catastrophe even larger because
these are deeply mentally disturbed, dangerous criminal actors. So at
(14:41):
this point, at this point, the blame is in my
mind one percent on Polis because he's the only one
who can call special session, and he didn't include it
in the special session. We just add But all right,
let's get to some of these other great texts. Dan,
as a lifelong Republican in Colorado native, my state is
officially gone to the dogs. I used to be proud
(15:02):
of being from a state where there was a testicular fortitude.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Sadly that's gone.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Hey, I don't think there's any question that legalization of
marijuana dramatically changed the demo of the state. That's not race,
that's not gender, that's not anything like that. We're just
talking about when you become the first state in the
world in modern history to legalize a dangerous drug that
(15:29):
the way Colorado did, then you're going to attract a
whole lot of people from around the country, and you're
going to attract a criminal element. You're going to attract
I mean, look, murder from planned parenthood he was. By
legal marijuana, you're going to attract a lot of people
who wouldn't commit a crime in their whole lives, but
(15:50):
they just want to be in a place where there's
legal marijuana. And then you're going to attract a whole
lot of homeless and everything else. So just the sheer
numbers of people who can came to Colorado after that,
I think there was a fundamental change in our demo.
And I'm not sitting here judging or condemning any adult
who just wants to do marijuana in the privacy of
his or her own home. My point is, once you
(16:12):
decide to give the left what they want and set
up a distribution system like this, you know, which is
basically marijuana McDonald's. You know, once you set up a
distribution system like that, you're going to fundamentally change the
state in a lot of bad ways.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And I don't think there's any.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Question We've had a dramatic shift in our in our
demographics through that, and then as the state becomes more
and more you know, politically liberal and in terms of
the control of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Just flat radical.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Then yeah, that's going to attract more of that, and
you're going to have, you know, more conservative type people
leave the state, not in enormous numbers, but enough numbers
to matter. Do you think that makes sense? Birthday boy
calling because you are I am. We need more of
us libration than we're having.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
It's very festive, especially back here, and Zach's about to
take the controls for me as I head on over
to comedy works.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
So Zach is a good man. Well, howardly does this
show start? I mean it's like five thirty. Don't these
comedy shows start at eight or nine?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
No, it's a dinner beforehand with a few friends and
then the show starts.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
It say where are you guys? Going?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Right above the club, there's a place called Lucy and
it's named after the French bulldog Pat of the owner. Okay, wonderful.
Well man, Hey, I'm glad you were born. Thank you, Dan,
I am too.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I guess that's pretty profound.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I should do like greeting cards.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
He really should.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Let's copyright that, do it.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Have you ever seen a birthday card that just got
right to the point is glad you were born.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
I think that's a great card.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, get right to the point.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Hey, you have a great time tonight. Okay, thank you,
we'll come back. We'll have a fun last half hour.
Not as much fun is going to have You're on
the Dan Capitala Show.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Fellow Americans.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
In light of recent studies, I wanted to warn against
the use of toasters in your bathtub or your shower.
It's an incredibly dangerous thing to do. You can get electrocuted.
They call it electrocuted. I call it zapped like you've
never seen before, a shocking experience. You don't want to
get zapped that much, I can tell you, especially if
(18:35):
you're on the left. You people are fried enough as
it is. We don't need it to get any worse.
And the electricity is no joke. I got along very
well with you may have heard of him, Benjamin Franklin.
I called him brilliant Ben. And he was flying a
kite and the lightning hit it and he was getting electrocuted.
He was getting zapt and I grounded him. And if
(18:58):
I wasn't there, it would have been a much different situation.
But I grounded him and we discovered electricity together. Brilliant
ben tremendous guy got along very well with him. Along
the same lines, we want to advise against licking your
all outlets. Despite what Higgly belly Pritsker says, your wall
outlet is not a candy bar. Do not try to
(19:19):
lick it. It doesn't taste very good and you may
pick up a shock, which.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
We don't want you to do. We don't want you
to get hurt.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
I know those on the left love and enjoy very
much licking their windows. We asked that we don't apply
the exact same thing to the wall outlet's.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It could get you very hurt.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
We want to keep America safe, We want to make
America great. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
This Jean Fair guy, he has to be right. Gott
to be the best Trump impersonator in good stuff. Three
or three seven one three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine It gets
not even close right, funniest president ever and we're going
to miss him so much when he's gone, but still
a few more years left, so well, enjoy every minute.
(20:06):
Lots of text rolling in this afternoon. I want to
get to those as well, and so many of them
responding right to this true, clear, present, immediate public safety
danger of this law that that now allows mentally incompetent,
dangerous criminals to just be put back on the street
(20:29):
as long as they're quote non restorable. So we've been
talking about how we got here with the law, and
then you know how to fix it. Well, the only
way it can be fixed right now is through Polis
calling a special session. So why won't he? I think
I know why he won't because the far left in
Colorado ideologically will not be willing to go to the
places we have to go to to close this loophole.
(20:53):
So I want to continue to get to some of
those texts and get your thoughts on that and anything
else under the sound on this beautiful Friday, And it's
supposed to be a spectacular weekend all across Colorado, and.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
If you happen to wander up to the mountains.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'm doing the show from the cabin today, just trying
to decompress after that long trial, and it's just incredible
up here. I mean, this has to be like a
peak weekend for the leaves. It is just spectacular. Makes
you think, hey, this is probably a little bit what
Heaven looks like.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
It's just so I can't even describe the colors and
the bright blue sky, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Let me get to some more of these tacks.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Some of the Texters not in as positive a mood
as that right now, Dan, Those that are against the
psychological commitment need to be pinned down for their solution.
All they ever say is no jail. But that's not
a workable answer to keep them in the population safe.
You're one hundred percent right, Texter. And that's why Polus
hasn't called a special session because the left will not
(21:54):
support a workable solution.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Now, listen, I think we got into this jam.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Because some GOP folks I respect, you know, they they
believed this was going to work. Barbar told us yesterday
there wasn't any organized opposition from law enforcement, et cetera.
But from the left standpoint, now that this clearly needs
to be fixed ideologically, they're not going to be willing
(22:20):
to go there because the only way you can fix
this is to put a civil commitments place that allows
you to hold these people to hold these people while
they remain dangerous. The Left is not going to support that.
So how does this end?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
And what I fear is that it's not going to
end until there's some kind of catastrophe so large that
at that point the left is forced to act just
to preserve their own power, but acting preemptively in the
interest of public safety and in the interest of these
victims who we know are about to happen. No, the
(23:01):
left has not, shown, in my opinion, any concern for
those innocent people in Colorado. They are so pro criminal
and so controlled by that far far far left radicals
with the big money nationwide. That's the reality of our
state right now, from the governor on down. There may
be an exception somewhere within the Democratic Party hierarchy, but
(23:25):
if there is, I'm I'm not personally aware of it.
Dan says, a Texter knows to the grindstone, might have
been good to do that before they voted. Yess was
referring to an earlier guest who said, Okay, you know,
we thought we got it right, we got it wrong,
and now we got to put our nose to the
grindstone and figured out I happen to appreciate very much
the candor of that guest that was former Senator Bob Gardner,
(23:46):
who said, Okay, you know, we thought we got it right.
We got it wrong. We got to figure out the
solution right now. Dan backpedaling, backpedaling, backpedaling. That's why I
left the Republican Party. And I think that was a
reference to the same earlier conversation. I didn't consider former
Senator Gardner.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
To be back peddling at all.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I appreciated his candor again and just saying, all right,
we got it wrong, we got to fix it. I
think it's so interesting to me how many folks are
just down on the Colorado Republican Party when my perspective
as a guy who used to be a Democrat and
then became a Republican, is that there is so much
(24:29):
not just good but great in the Colorado GOP. And
I'm not just saying that that's not how I'm wired.
I'm just telling you the truth. Hey, when I have
publicly disagreed with people who held power in the Colorado GOP,
as you know, I was very open about that, very
open about that, and took a lot of abuse for that.
But overall, and I had a chance to compare right
(24:52):
because I was an active Democrat in Colorado before I
became an active Republican, and in the middle I was
an affiliated for a bunch of years.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
But no, there are so.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Many great people in the Colorado GOP across the ideological spectrum.
So I don't understand why at least so many texters
and callers are down on the GOP. I'd suggest, if
they haven't already been involved, that they go get involved
in something see if they still feel the same way.
But I think we all know the only way we're
(25:25):
going to win statewide is we're going to have to
We're going to have to cut through the negative stereotype
of the GOP, and we're going to have to persuade
a fair number and it doesn't take that many, but
it's a fair number of Democrat voters, because that's where
you get the.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Two fur right.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You take one away from them and we pick up one,
and all of a sudden, races that looked unwinnable can
be winnable. You just have to find the right candidates
the right issues. And with things getting as bad as
they are in Colorado with the lefties running it, you
would think that that opening is there. We will find
out together. Filling in for Ryan. How you doing my friend,
(26:04):
I'm doing well, zach Man. Whatever he's doing, he's he
must be having fun doing it. Hey, let's go to
Ben in Aurora. You're on the Dan Kaplas Show. Welcome Ben.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
A couple of comments. Number one, I'm all in with
you with the demographic changing in Denver. I mean, that's
the mammoth in the room, in the china room, and
I'm pretty much in lockstep with what marijuana has done.
(26:37):
And then secondly that thing about Trump that made me laugh.
I'm kind of funny, but that guy's better. If you want,
I've got time to do my own little Trump impression.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, please, as long as it's family friendly.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Oh yeah, Well, you know the tires, the tires in
your card are black, and they they're round, They're real round.
And you don't want to get hit by tarr So
I want you kids to stay out of those streets.
It could be dangerous, could be very bad. And you drivers,
you got to be cautious and keep the windows clean.
(27:16):
And you've got the windshield. The bugs get the windshield,
the windshield gets dirty. It's an environmental thing. You got
to keep it clean. We want the environment to be clean.
We want it very clean. We want family friendly comments
for the Dan Kapla show. If you drive a Ford,
(27:37):
that's okay because I knew Henry Ford. He's a good man.
They Ford's got good too many recalls.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You must be spending a lot of time on this,
that's good. Or listening to Ryan Shooting because he does
a real good Trump too.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
But that was that was impromptu, so you know, I
might give old Ryan shooting. I don't want to put
them out business, but you.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Know, no.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Day, Thanks, thanks man, appreciate it. You have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Thank you ben it Now this text, Zach, I don't
know what to make this one. Dana was very sad
to hear you defend Taylor Swift yesterday. She gives millions
to radical leftist groups, insists on going to NFL games
where most hater makes fools out of masculine men. Trump
should shut her down and you should stop defending her.
Teaching young girls to be blanks. Wow, where does that
(28:33):
kind of anger come from? And fatally flowed premise as well.
I wasn't defending Taylor Swift at all. Yesterday we were
only talking about Taylor Swift because of the James Comy stuff, right,
James Comy within the last mount tating quoting Taylor Swift
and goofy stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
No, I did make the point that since my daughter
was like ten or eleven, we've been going to Taylor
Swift concerts together as a father daughter thing. We'll get
in the car, will drive to Omaha, things like that.
But no, and the other thing is, and I don't
have time in this break to elaborate on it, but
I'm just a big believer.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I'm going to go. I'm going to go enjoy, you know, say, if.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
There's some guy on the Nuggets, there's some guy in
the Broncos and his politics is different than mine, I'm
going to go enjoy his performance as long as they're
otherwise a good person. Taylor Swift, she makes some good
music and there's a lot of positivity at her concerts.
She doesn't talk politics at her concerts. My daughter and
I love going to her concerts. Am I supposed to
(29:38):
stay away from her concerts because she supports left wing causes?
Love your take, You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Ahead and Colorado.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Hope you're listening to this show in Colorado, because it's
going to be a perfect fall weekend if you're thinking
about getting up to the mountains. I can't imagine it's
going to get much better than this. I'm up at
the cabin today doing the show. Three O three seven
one three A two five five the number text d
A N five seven seven three nine. I really think
the perfect colors up here now going to lead to
(30:17):
some heavy traffic, so you might want to leave early
and go home later, whatever works for you.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Hey, lots going on this afternoon. If you just joined us,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
We open the show with a deep dive into, you know,
the charges against James Comy, and there isn't time here
to repeat all of that. But my bottom line message was,
and I've worked very hard to get as much information
as I can on this. At the end of the day,
whether they're going to be able to convict comes down
to something we can't possibly know from the outside right now.
(30:48):
Right It's going to come down to just how solid
and specific, you know, the testimony is going to be
from people inside the FBI about whether Komy authorized those leaks,
because the perjury that's alleged to Congress was Komy saying
and he didn't authorize the leaks. So did people just
(31:11):
infer that he had from his silence or was there
actual authorization? Things like that that we just can't know
unless we're in that US attorney's file, which we don't
have access to. Maybe there'll be leaks in the meantime
or some pre trial pleadings that give us some more
information on that, But we have been detailing.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Because it's easy to forget just.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
How many evil things Komy has done along the way,
and it really it. You know, the word shocking. You
can't even use that word anymore, right, it's so overused.
But for a guy like me, my dad, you know,
thirty years in law enforcement, a true hero, the thought
that somebody at the very top of an institution as
esteemed as the FBI, you know, could be so rotted
(31:55):
out as Komy never would have imagined that. So again
another lasting gift from Trump, just this realization that yeah,
that can happen, and we've got to make sure it
never does.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Again.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
That doesn't mean that he committed crimes here, because there
are all sorts of ways he could undermine this nation,
and he did that don't violate any criminal statute. But
on this particular charge we'll find out also some credible
reporting that there will be other charges coming against him.
I don't know if there will or not, but some
(32:28):
credible reporting that this was rushed because of the five
year statute of limitations that was going to hit on
the thirtieth, because his testimony to Congress was September thirty,
twenty twenty in this particular example. So we'll continue to
follow all of it closely. On another note, I just
don't understand this. Like another Texter Dan, Yes, you're supposed
(32:50):
to stay away from Taylor Swift, millions from her to Marxism,
useful idiots supporting her, undermining morals, half nude on stage.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
We've got multiple points here.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
First of all, I don't think she's had I don't
think the whole nudity thing has ever been her thing.
And I've been going to concerts with my daughter, Taylor
Swift concerts since my daughter was ten or eleven, and
we've never seen any of that. Maybe it depends on
the definition of half nude, but you know, if you
just go down to the you know, local city pool
(33:19):
on a Saturday, you're going to see a lot more
than you're going to see with Taylor Swift on stage.
In terms of her giving money to lefty causes, Yeah,
I don't like that, but I'd love to have a
conversation with this texture because what I'd like to know is,
you know, do you not watch the Broncos because some
players support left wing causes, the same thing with the Nuggets,
(33:40):
et cetera. How far do we extend this to me
that that seems wrong? It also seems wrong on a
human level, right, because yeah, we've got to stand up,
we've got to fight for our principles, and we've got
to fight these evil policies, etc. But we still, I
(34:01):
think we still have to love our neighbor, we still
have to have cohesion in society. But our very best
chance to win on all these issues is still going
to be to persuade people.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
And if we.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Say no, I can't go to this concert because that
person gives some money. Yeah, And the other thing about
Taylor Swift concerts is I've never heard poltics. I don't
like the politics she talks outside of the concerts, but
in the concerts. You know what, I'm there because of
my daughter. If it wasn't my daughter, you think I'm
gonna go to a Taylor Swift concert. Maybe, I mean
(34:32):
they're pretty good. I'm there because of my daughter, but
but they're always so positive, and so that's another reason
why I just don't get the criticism. Zach, thanks for
filling in for Ryan. Big birthday for Ryan. Send out
great vibe starting Kelly. You're the best and I have
a great week.
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Kaplis 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. Much in Colorado,
know that's the opposite of that. How did that ever happen?
Can somebody explain that to me? Because I haven't been
(00:22):
here that long.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'll add up the year some days, maybe forty to
fifty years, something like that. But how did a state
blessed with, you know, one of the most beautiful places
on earth, right, blessed with this perfect location, all sorts
of reasons we should be the number one place.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
How did we become a magnet for all this anti
American lunacy?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Right? How did Colorado?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
How did Colorado become the magnet you know for these
they're so far left, they're so radical, these democrats, so
many of them will power in Colorado. You can't even
find the words for him. How did we ever get
to this point? And believe me, I understand the blueprint
and the book that was done on that. I get
all of that, But this goes so far beyond that,
(01:07):
because it seems to me we should be the opposite.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Of all that. So if you got any ideas, love
to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Three oh three someone three A two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine
the latest coming from a text or jeez, right, and
I go off to trial for three weeks and the
whole place goes to hell. I mean, pardon me, but
this text. I didn't know anything about this? Did you
know about this? It says, Dan, have you talked about
(01:35):
our state Rep. Loreina Garcia stating she is Antifa?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Did that really happen?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Yeah, she's quite far to the left and kind of
leaned into that whole identity. I think this is in
the wake of President Trump declaring Antifa domestic terror organization,
and she's going to stand her ground and say I
am Antifa.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, I appreciate her identifying herself that way, just so
everybody knows they can help everybody get a better understanding
of the Colorado Democratic Party. I'm looking at a text
from our friend George Brockler. Remember that Antifa Garcia voted
for probation for child rapists in the House Judiciary Committee.
Just a few months ago, and then George is reposting
(02:19):
Scott Bottom's tweet state Rep. Lorena Garcia has probably declared, quote,
I am Antifa. She even doubled down just days ago
she described Charlie Kirk's assassination by smearing the victim as hateful,
file bigoted woman, hating, anti black, white Christian nationalist. So yeah,
but that's where the power is in the Colorado Democratic Party, right,
(02:43):
and some hide it better than others. I'm not saying
they're all antifa. I'm guessing she's the only one who's
actually antifa. But in terms of radicalism controlling the Colorado
Democratic Party, there's I don't think there's any doubt about that.
My friend but goes on to say, is that worse
than being a liberal or is it all the same?
(03:03):
At this point, should we look at all Democrats as
and Taifa, now that their violence has become so frequent.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I would say that would be a fatal mistake if
and Ryan, I.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Think this may be the biggest biggest challenge for the
Colorado GOP right now, is understanding there is this enormous
block of Democrats. People who vote Democrat all the time,
voted Democrat their whole life, who are now persuadable because
they're not left wing nuts. They don't want that crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
They are persuadable.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I know as a guy who was a Democrat for years,
there's this stereotype right of the GOP, and so much
of this now is overcoming the stereotype of the GOP
because you got a whole bunch of Democrats who are persuadable,
So you want to commit electoral suicide? Will then at
that point just assume all these Democrat voters are nuts
(03:54):
just like the elected Democrats are. That's the way to
throw away elections that we could have actually win.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Does the Birthday Boy disagree with that?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
It's getting harder and harder Dan for those that are
on the left who don't speak out against Antifa, Garcia
and her ILK to credibly state that they're not one
and the same and part of them, they do need
to come out and articulate those differences. If it's a
senator Jeff Bridges, for example, you're a senator in mine
who I believe, in his heart of hearts and in
(04:25):
his practice as a senator, does present himself as moderate, and.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
That may let you in for a second may challenge you,
my friend, sure might. And by the way, do we
have like a go fund me up for your birthday
where people can send money in case you want to
go to Vegas or something we've done anything like that.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I'm gonna be doing just fine a comedy works tonight,
having a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
No, no, no, and just fine is fine. But I
want to see you go out to Centennial. You know,
I've never flown on a private jet. I want you
to do that before I do. So.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I've never flown up to project this.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
I can arrange a helicopter, right, yeah, with Tom Martino.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And I love Tom and I'm sure he's a great pilot.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
You're just thinking about that though, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Well, well, you know, maybe the helicopter thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm not so sure about the helicopter thing, but thank you, Kelly,
and I would. If I'm going to trust anybody behind
the controls of a helicopter, it's going to be our
friend Tom Martino. But but does anybody do that? Does
anybody do like gofundmes for their birthday?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I think just I don't want to do that, but
I mean I do appreciate I got a six pack
of old l I p A. I got a gift
card to Maggiano Slash Chili's Slash on the border from
you and Kelly, and I really appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
That's enough.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Plenty, my friend. Now it is true that the simple
things matter most. Yeah, there's so much love for you
in the audience, your audience and what's left of mine
that no, I I think something really special could have well,
and I love them.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
I did have lunch with Alexa today. It was glorious.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It was amazing, great, really fun Bombrus.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
She definitely is.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
So you're you were pushing back on me on Jeff
Bridges being a moderate.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, please, And and I don't want to get into
the weeds because most of our audience doesn't know Jeff
and doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I happen to like Jeff.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I see Jeff at some social stuff because he's friends
with friends of ours.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But I would challenge you on this show me action.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'm not talking about what kind of shell or costume
or facade somebody puts on. I don't mean any of
that negatively for Jeff, but show me what he has
actually done to break with the powers in his party.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I was just going to make that point, Dan, I
completely agree with you, because that there isn't really any
daylight between his votes and those of the radical, far left,
extreme wing of that Democratic Party in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Right, So, if those guys and girls who pretend to
be moderates, if they don't rhy up against these far
left koops who own and operate their party, how can
you expect the every day Democrat? And I'd go one
step further, I would not expect the every to day
Democrat to rise up against the power in the party
because the everyday Democrat who isn't involved in politics, they're
(07:16):
life centered elsewhere. Why should they take on that risk
and that abuse when you've got a party the left
right now, the left in Colorado and elsewhere in Colorado's
been worse for years, the left beliefs and the politics
of personal destruction cancel is mild, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So why would any of us.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Expect just your average hard working guy or gail who
happens to work Democrat to rise up against their party?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Well, how about nuts to do that?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
They would be.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
But how about I mean, we saw Amy Padden, who's
about as far left as you're going to get from
a prosecutor DA in the state of Colorado for the
eighteenth the Rappahole County, the one.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
I live in, the one you live in.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Even she's come on, Hash, you know, this whole competency thing,
this is not great phony.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
She did it, Oh she did it because hey, you
know there was this recall effort launched, was on the
heels of that probation deal for the guy who killed
that beautiful young, twenty four year old job in ninety
plus through a neighborhood. You know, I think that was
crocodile tears for political reasons, my humble opinion. But who yeah,
(08:21):
who on the left actually rises up against their powers. Nobody.
So it is on the GOP. And I'm not saying
it's easy, but it's on the GOP. To get it,
you got a lot of Democrats who are persuadable, a
lot of them who don't like what's going on in
the Democratic Party, and we got to figure out how
to get people past that stereotype they've had at the GOP.
(08:43):
Now I understand complicating it is nobody wants to give
GOP candidates any money, right because they don't think they
can win, and so I understand there's a catch twenty
two there. But you know, the people who fought the
American Revolution, that was no cruise liner, right, I mean,
they had to find a way.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
We got to find a way real quick. Dan, on
this issue, the competency won. I had a couple of
phone calls this morning from Ty Winner. I'll go ahead
and say that, and he's going to come out my
show early next week, and he wanted to clarify his
vote that in the final vote he did vote no. However,
this doesn't explain the many Republicans, including all of the
Senators except one that wasn't present, voting yes for this
(09:19):
competency stuff. That on one issue where there should be
absolute solidarity, and.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
You try to, you know, peel off.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Some Democrats look at the disaster that this has become
and one they didn't see it coming. They should have
two they went along with it, and it's like, why
compromise on that. I was told the same things you
were about constitutional issues, due process, but we are releasing
maniacs into the public here in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yes, it's a five alarm fire, and the fact that
it wasn't part of the last special session tells you
everything you need to know about Polus and the left. Now,
why get some Republicans, Why at least I respect, you know,
decide to support that. Let's talk about that after the break.
Then lots of other texts and somebody very unfairly getting
after me for allegedly supporting Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I don't know what that's all about. You're on the
Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Honestly, never thought these words would come out of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But I don't know whether the current president I States
with with prostitutes being on each other in Moscow in
twenty thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's possible, but I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
But how weird was that briefing.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It's really weird. I just wanted to get it done, and.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Thank you Ryan for stopping that. The only reason I
played that is because I think it's very important to
remember right now just how much evil James call Me did,
Just how much evil he engaged in to say things
like that to George Stephanopolis. That was just flat out evil.
(10:56):
The coup attempt was evil. That doesn't mean he's guilty
of the crime he's charged with because there are a
lot of evil things someone can do, you know, when
it comes to our government and comes to America, that
doesn't constitute a crime, but so many evil things that
he did the opposite of a patriot. And you think
(11:18):
about the horrific disservice he did to all the great
men and women of the FBI, so many of whom
risk their lives for us.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, he was just.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And one of the lasting services, the great acts of
service Trump is done, is open the eyes of people
like me to the fact that you can have that
kind of rot at the top of an institution as
great as the FBI. You know, I'm the son of
a thirty year cop. He's my hero, he's the best
man at my wedding. But I could have never imagined
(11:49):
that in the top position of the FBI in modern times, right.
I mean, you read on and see all this stuff
about Hoover, But in modern times you could have that
kind of rot at the top of such a great institution.
But Trump opened eyes to that. We're going to be
a better country because of that. And then these criminal charges.
We talked about it at link earlier. As we got
into some of the granular stuff, we're just gonna have
(12:11):
to wait until the trial, and there is likely to
be a trial because we can't know the things that
are most important to know from the outside right now
unless there are a whole bunch of leaks.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Let me get to some of these texts.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Their texts are as always exploding, grateful for that, Dan,
don't curse the dark shine of light. Don't argue that
the left is doing the wrong thing, argue that the
Republicans in our state are joining them. This brings us
back to the conversation we've been having about this bill
that is letting all of these incompetent, dangerous criminals back
(12:43):
out on the street because they are deemed non restorable. Obviously,
this is a five alarm fire, This is a public
safety threat of the highest magnitude, and we have a
governor who's not calling a special session to fix it.
And we all know where this is at it right
there's going to be something so horrific happened, then there'll
(13:04):
be a special session. It shouldn't have to get to
that now. The fair question as to why so many
respected Republicans voted for this bill to begin with, I
think we got at least I got a much better
understanding of that yesterday when Barb Kirkmeyer joined us, and
as I understand it from Barb, there wasn't any law
enforcement opposition to it, that there wasn't an understanding on
(13:26):
the part of the GOP as to that it would
become unworkable in real life because there wasn't going to
be this ability to get the civil commitment that you
would need to keep these dangerous people off the streets.
And so Ryan, it sounds like you're at the polar
opposite of where I'm at right now, whereas you are highly,
(13:47):
highly critical of all of the Republicans who voted for it.
I think I have an understanding as to how the
mistake got made, and now it's a matter of needing
to fix it yesterday and only polists can call that
special session.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
That part's true.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
But when I spoke with Representative Brandy Bradley, who I
need to give credit to, was a hard no through
all of this, So is the Bottoms. So there were
Republicans that were standing up for this against it. Okay,
she's saying that unless they, like you said, they're going
to reconvene in January. But between now and then, almost
open season.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
You're right, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, and you look,
one victim is too much, right, one victim is too
much from these dangerous criminals being released downto the street.
But the potential for a mass catastrophe even larger because
these are deeply mentally disturbed, dangerous criminal actors. So at
(14:41):
this point, at this point, the blame is in my
mind one percent on Polis because he's the only one
who can call special session, and he didn't include it
in the special session. We just add But all right,
let's get to some of these other great texts. Dan,
as a lifelong Republican in Colorado native, my state is
officially gone to the dogs. I used to be proud
(15:02):
of being from a state where there was a testicular fortitude.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Sadly that's gone.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Hey, I don't think there's any question that legalization of
marijuana dramatically changed the demo of the state. That's not race,
that's not gender, that's not anything like that. We're just
talking about when you become the first state in the
world in modern history to legalize a dangerous drug that
(15:29):
the way Colorado did, then you're going to attract a
whole lot of people from around the country, and you're
going to attract a criminal element. You're going to attract
I mean, look, murder from planned parenthood he was. By
legal marijuana, you're going to attract a lot of people
who wouldn't commit a crime in their whole lives, but
(15:50):
they just want to be in a place where there's
legal marijuana. And then you're going to attract a whole
lot of homeless and everything else. So just the sheer
numbers of people who can came to Colorado after that,
I think there was a fundamental change in our demo.
And I'm not sitting here judging or condemning any adult
who just wants to do marijuana in the privacy of
his or her own home. My point is, once you
(16:12):
decide to give the left what they want and set
up a distribution system like this, you know, which is
basically marijuana McDonald's. You know, once you set up a
distribution system like that, you're going to fundamentally change the
state in a lot of bad ways.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And I don't think there's any.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Question We've had a dramatic shift in our in our
demographics through that, and then as the state becomes more
and more you know, politically liberal and in terms of
the control of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Just flat radical.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Then yeah, that's going to attract more of that, and
you're going to have, you know, more conservative type people
leave the state, not in enormous numbers, but enough numbers
to matter. Do you think that makes sense? Birthday boy
calling because you are I am. We need more of
us libration than we're having.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
It's very festive, especially back here, and Zach's about to
take the controls for me as I head on over
to comedy works.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
So Zach is a good man. Well, howardly does this
show start? I mean it's like five thirty. Don't these
comedy shows start at eight or nine?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
No, it's a dinner beforehand with a few friends and
then the show starts.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
It say where are you guys? Going?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Right above the club, there's a place called Lucy and
it's named after the French bulldog Pat of the owner. Okay, wonderful.
Well man, Hey, I'm glad you were born. Thank you, Dan,
I am too.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I guess that's pretty profound.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I should do like greeting cards.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
He really should.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Let's copyright that, do it.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Have you ever seen a birthday card that just got
right to the point is glad you were born.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
I think that's a great card.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, get right to the point.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Hey, you have a great time tonight. Okay, thank you,
we'll come back. We'll have a fun last half hour.
Not as much fun is going to have You're on
the Dan Capitala Show.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Fellow Americans.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
In light of recent studies, I wanted to warn against
the use of toasters in your bathtub or your shower.
It's an incredibly dangerous thing to do. You can get electrocuted.
They call it electrocuted. I call it zapped like you've
never seen before, a shocking experience. You don't want to
get zapped that much, I can tell you, especially if
(18:35):
you're on the left. You people are fried enough as
it is. We don't need it to get any worse.
And the electricity is no joke. I got along very
well with you may have heard of him, Benjamin Franklin.
I called him brilliant Ben. And he was flying a
kite and the lightning hit it and he was getting electrocuted.
He was getting zapt and I grounded him. And if
(18:58):
I wasn't there, it would have been a much different situation.
But I grounded him and we discovered electricity together. Brilliant
ben tremendous guy got along very well with him. Along
the same lines, we want to advise against licking your
all outlets. Despite what Higgly belly Pritsker says, your wall
outlet is not a candy bar. Do not try to
(19:19):
lick it. It doesn't taste very good and you may
pick up a shock, which.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
We don't want you to do. We don't want you
to get hurt.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
I know those on the left love and enjoy very
much licking their windows. We asked that we don't apply
the exact same thing to the wall outlet's.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It could get you very hurt.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
We want to keep America safe, We want to make
America great. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
This Jean Fair guy, he has to be right. Gott
to be the best Trump impersonator in good stuff. Three
or three seven one three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine It gets
not even close right, funniest president ever and we're going
to miss him so much when he's gone, but still
a few more years left, so well, enjoy every minute.
(20:06):
Lots of text rolling in this afternoon. I want to
get to those as well, and so many of them
responding right to this true, clear, present, immediate public safety
danger of this law that that now allows mentally incompetent,
dangerous criminals to just be put back on the street
(20:29):
as long as they're quote non restorable. So we've been
talking about how we got here with the law, and
then you know how to fix it. Well, the only
way it can be fixed right now is through Polis
calling a special session. So why won't he? I think
I know why he won't because the far left in
Colorado ideologically will not be willing to go to the
places we have to go to to close this loophole.
(20:53):
So I want to continue to get to some of
those texts and get your thoughts on that and anything
else under the sound on this beautiful Friday, And it's
supposed to be a spectacular weekend all across Colorado, and.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
If you happen to wander up to the mountains.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'm doing the show from the cabin today, just trying
to decompress after that long trial, and it's just incredible
up here. I mean, this has to be like a
peak weekend for the leaves. It is just spectacular. Makes
you think, hey, this is probably a little bit what
Heaven looks like.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
It's just so I can't even describe the colors and
the bright blue sky, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Let me get to some more of these tacks.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Some of the Texters not in as positive a mood
as that right now, Dan, Those that are against the
psychological commitment need to be pinned down for their solution.
All they ever say is no jail. But that's not
a workable answer to keep them in the population safe.
You're one hundred percent right, Texter. And that's why Polus
hasn't called a special session because the left will not
(21:54):
support a workable solution.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Now, listen, I think we got into this jam.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Because some GOP folks I respect, you know, they they
believed this was going to work. Barbar told us yesterday
there wasn't any organized opposition from law enforcement, et cetera.
But from the left standpoint, now that this clearly needs
to be fixed ideologically, they're not going to be willing
(22:20):
to go there because the only way you can fix
this is to put a civil commitments place that allows
you to hold these people to hold these people while
they remain dangerous. The Left is not going to support that.
So how does this end?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
And what I fear is that it's not going to
end until there's some kind of catastrophe so large that
at that point the left is forced to act just
to preserve their own power, but acting preemptively in the
interest of public safety and in the interest of these
victims who we know are about to happen. No, the
(23:01):
left has not, shown, in my opinion, any concern for
those innocent people in Colorado. They are so pro criminal
and so controlled by that far far far left radicals
with the big money nationwide. That's the reality of our
state right now, from the governor on down. There may
be an exception somewhere within the Democratic Party hierarchy, but
(23:25):
if there is, I'm I'm not personally aware of it.
Dan says, a Texter knows to the grindstone, might have
been good to do that before they voted. Yess was
referring to an earlier guest who said, Okay, you know,
we thought we got it right, we got it wrong,
and now we got to put our nose to the
grindstone and figured out I happen to appreciate very much
the candor of that guest that was former Senator Bob Gardner,
(23:46):
who said, Okay, you know, we thought we got it right.
We got it wrong. We got to figure out the
solution right now. Dan backpedaling, backpedaling, backpedaling. That's why I
left the Republican Party. And I think that was a
reference to the same earlier conversation. I didn't consider former
Senator Gardner.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
To be back peddling at all.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I appreciated his candor again and just saying, all right,
we got it wrong, we got to fix it. I
think it's so interesting to me how many folks are
just down on the Colorado Republican Party when my perspective
as a guy who used to be a Democrat and
then became a Republican, is that there is so much
(24:29):
not just good but great in the Colorado GOP. And
I'm not just saying that that's not how I'm wired.
I'm just telling you the truth. Hey, when I have
publicly disagreed with people who held power in the Colorado GOP,
as you know, I was very open about that, very
open about that, and took a lot of abuse for that.
But overall, and I had a chance to compare right
(24:52):
because I was an active Democrat in Colorado before I
became an active Republican, and in the middle I was
an affiliated for a bunch of years.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
But no, there are so.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Many great people in the Colorado GOP across the ideological spectrum.
So I don't understand why at least so many texters
and callers are down on the GOP. I'd suggest, if
they haven't already been involved, that they go get involved
in something see if they still feel the same way.
But I think we all know the only way we're
(25:25):
going to win statewide is we're going to have to
We're going to have to cut through the negative stereotype
of the GOP, and we're going to have to persuade
a fair number and it doesn't take that many, but
it's a fair number of Democrat voters, because that's where
you get the.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Two fur right.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You take one away from them and we pick up one,
and all of a sudden, races that looked unwinnable can
be winnable. You just have to find the right candidates
the right issues. And with things getting as bad as
they are in Colorado with the lefties running it, you
would think that that opening is there. We will find
out together. Filling in for Ryan. How you doing my friend,
(26:04):
I'm doing well, zach Man. Whatever he's doing, he's he
must be having fun doing it. Hey, let's go to
Ben in Aurora. You're on the Dan Kaplas Show. Welcome Ben.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
A couple of comments. Number one, I'm all in with
you with the demographic changing in Denver. I mean, that's
the mammoth in the room, in the china room, and
I'm pretty much in lockstep with what marijuana has done.
(26:37):
And then secondly that thing about Trump that made me laugh.
I'm kind of funny, but that guy's better. If you want,
I've got time to do my own little Trump impression.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, please, as long as it's family friendly.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Oh yeah, Well, you know the tires, the tires in
your card are black, and they they're round, They're real round.
And you don't want to get hit by tarr So
I want you kids to stay out of those streets.
It could be dangerous, could be very bad. And you drivers,
you got to be cautious and keep the windows clean.
(27:16):
And you've got the windshield. The bugs get the windshield,
the windshield gets dirty. It's an environmental thing. You got
to keep it clean. We want the environment to be clean.
We want it very clean. We want family friendly comments
for the Dan Kapla show. If you drive a Ford,
(27:37):
that's okay because I knew Henry Ford. He's a good man.
They Ford's got good too many recalls.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You must be spending a lot of time on this,
that's good. Or listening to Ryan Shooting because he does
a real good Trump too.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
But that was that was impromptu, so you know, I
might give old Ryan shooting. I don't want to put
them out business, but you.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Know, no.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Day, Thanks, thanks man, appreciate it. You have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Thank you ben it Now this text, Zach, I don't
know what to make this one. Dana was very sad
to hear you defend Taylor Swift yesterday. She gives millions
to radical leftist groups, insists on going to NFL games
where most hater makes fools out of masculine men. Trump
should shut her down and you should stop defending her.
Teaching young girls to be blanks. Wow, where does that
(28:33):
kind of anger come from? And fatally flowed premise as well.
I wasn't defending Taylor Swift at all. Yesterday we were
only talking about Taylor Swift because of the James Comy stuff, right,
James Comy within the last mount tating quoting Taylor Swift
and goofy stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
No, I did make the point that since my daughter
was like ten or eleven, we've been going to Taylor
Swift concerts together as a father daughter thing. We'll get
in the car, will drive to Omaha, things like that.
But no, and the other thing is, and I don't
have time in this break to elaborate on it, but
I'm just a big believer.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I'm going to go. I'm going to go enjoy, you know, say, if.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
There's some guy on the Nuggets, there's some guy in
the Broncos and his politics is different than mine, I'm
going to go enjoy his performance as long as they're
otherwise a good person. Taylor Swift, she makes some good
music and there's a lot of positivity at her concerts.
She doesn't talk politics at her concerts. My daughter and
I love going to her concerts. Am I supposed to
(29:38):
stay away from her concerts because she supports left wing causes?
Love your take, You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Ahead and Colorado.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Hope you're listening to this show in Colorado, because it's
going to be a perfect fall weekend if you're thinking
about getting up to the mountains. I can't imagine it's
going to get much better than this. I'm up at
the cabin today doing the show. Three O three seven
one three A two five five the number text d
A N five seven seven three nine. I really think
the perfect colors up here now going to lead to
(30:17):
some heavy traffic, so you might want to leave early
and go home later, whatever works for you.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Hey, lots going on this afternoon. If you just joined us,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
We open the show with a deep dive into, you know,
the charges against James Comy, and there isn't time here
to repeat all of that. But my bottom line message was,
and I've worked very hard to get as much information
as I can on this. At the end of the day,
whether they're going to be able to convict comes down
to something we can't possibly know from the outside right now.
(30:48):
Right It's going to come down to just how solid
and specific, you know, the testimony is going to be
from people inside the FBI about whether Komy authorized those leaks,
because the perjury that's alleged to Congress was Komy saying
and he didn't authorize the leaks. So did people just
(31:11):
infer that he had from his silence or was there
actual authorization? Things like that that we just can't know
unless we're in that US attorney's file, which we don't
have access to. Maybe there'll be leaks in the meantime
or some pre trial pleadings that give us some more
information on that, But we have been detailing.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Because it's easy to forget just.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
How many evil things Komy has done along the way,
and it really it. You know, the word shocking. You
can't even use that word anymore, right, it's so overused.
But for a guy like me, my dad, you know,
thirty years in law enforcement, a true hero, the thought
that somebody at the very top of an institution as
esteemed as the FBI, you know, could be so rotted
(31:55):
out as Komy never would have imagined that. So again
another lasting gift from Trump, just this realization that yeah,
that can happen, and we've got to make sure it
never does.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Again.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
That doesn't mean that he committed crimes here, because there
are all sorts of ways he could undermine this nation,
and he did that don't violate any criminal statute. But
on this particular charge we'll find out also some credible
reporting that there will be other charges coming against him.
I don't know if there will or not, but some
(32:28):
credible reporting that this was rushed because of the five
year statute of limitations that was going to hit on
the thirtieth, because his testimony to Congress was September thirty,
twenty twenty in this particular example. So we'll continue to
follow all of it closely. On another note, I just
don't understand this. Like another Texter Dan, Yes, you're supposed
(32:50):
to stay away from Taylor Swift, millions from her to Marxism,
useful idiots supporting her, undermining morals, half nude on stage.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
We've got multiple points here.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
First of all, I don't think she's had I don't
think the whole nudity thing has ever been her thing.
And I've been going to concerts with my daughter, Taylor
Swift concerts since my daughter was ten or eleven, and
we've never seen any of that. Maybe it depends on
the definition of half nude, but you know, if you
just go down to the you know, local city pool
(33:19):
on a Saturday, you're going to see a lot more
than you're going to see with Taylor Swift on stage.
In terms of her giving money to lefty causes, Yeah,
I don't like that, but I'd love to have a
conversation with this texture because what I'd like to know is,
you know, do you not watch the Broncos because some
players support left wing causes, the same thing with the Nuggets,
(33:40):
et cetera. How far do we extend this to me
that that seems wrong? It also seems wrong on a
human level, right, because yeah, we've got to stand up,
we've got to fight for our principles, and we've got
to fight these evil policies, etc. But we still, I
(34:01):
think we still have to love our neighbor, we still
have to have cohesion in society. But our very best
chance to win on all these issues is still going
to be to persuade people.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
And if we.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Say no, I can't go to this concert because that
person gives some money. Yeah, And the other thing about
Taylor Swift concerts is I've never heard poltics. I don't
like the politics she talks outside of the concerts, but
in the concerts. You know what, I'm there because of
my daughter. If it wasn't my daughter, you think I'm
gonna go to a Taylor Swift concert. Maybe, I mean
(34:32):
they're pretty good. I'm there because of my daughter, but
but they're always so positive, and so that's another reason
why I just don't get the criticism. Zach, thanks for
filling in for Ryan. Big birthday for Ryan. Send out
great vibe starting Kelly. You're the best and I have
a great week.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
