Dan disagrees with a take Ryan had earlier on 'Ryan Schuiling Live' that the topic of politics can - and should - be avoided at the dinner table for Thanksgiving. Dan contends there won't be any avoiding it, and Ryan will need to tap into the ring to defend President Trump and voting for him.
As Dan walks down memory lane about seeing Linda Ronstadt at Red Rocks, Ryan plays several of her songs - then clarifies for the audience that while she is having serious health issues, she is very much alive and he's not paying her a post-mortem tribute.

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. So much to
talk about, you know, it used to be, as I
mentioned earlier that this Thanksgiving week things had calmed down,
(00:21):
slow news cycles, people even town. It's as action packed
Monday as I can remember. We have the big court
ruling coming down in the dismissing the Komy and Letitia
James indictments. I'll break that down for you quickly. It's
a fascinating procedural issue. At the heart of it had
nothing to do with the merits, and they will refile
(00:41):
against Letitia James, that's a certainty. The question is is
it too late to file against Komy. So I'll get
to that in a second. I think the much bigger
news over the weekend is Benedicte Crowe and the rest
of this gang of six. It's all falling apart for them,
as you know, people start to pin them down on
these these national shows over Wait second, can you point
(01:03):
to even a single unlawful order. Even friendly press have
to ask that question, right, because you'd lose all credibility
if you have one of them on the show and
you don't ask him that question. And none of them,
none of them are able to say, Yeah, that's the
unlawful order I'm talking about, don't obey that order. None
of them are are willing to say, don't obey that order.
(01:23):
There's the order that was given that's unlawful, and they're
not doing that because they know they'd go to jail
because Trump has not delivered any unlawful orders. Three O
three seven one three eight two five five. The number
texts a D an five seven seven three nine. So
we'll break that down, but I really want you to
hear this. This great story from Channel seven in Denver,
(01:46):
digging into why so many people are leaving Denver. So
I'll start with that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I'm Dan Grossman for Denver seven. So Denver, remember when
it was like one of the coolest places in the
country to live.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Kiss those days goodbye.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Because new numbers are showing Denver is quickly becoming one
of the top cities people are not looking to move to.
So it comes from this move Buddha data study. This
map showing the ten places where people are most likely
to move to Denver, though it is showing a negative
forty eight. That is showing the falling percentage of how
likely people are to move here now compared to right
(02:19):
before the pandemic. So I wanted to double check this though,
so I pulled up this study. It is from the
Colorado based Common Sense Institute, and it's showing that net
migration in our state, so the difference between the number
of people moving in and out has fallen by more
than fifty percent. I spoke to their director of Research Operations,
Dj Summers, about why this.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Is one of the more expensive areas in terms of
housing in the nation now and that has been steadily
building from the mid twenty tens onward. Inflation in the
Denver metro area is also outpaced to the nations, So
there are a few points there that could be that
could be pretty explanatory.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Some folks might be happy to hear that fewer people
are choosing to move here, but DJ told me that
it does pose issues for our state's economy by hurting
the job and housing markets. A recent ZILLA report found
that more than ninety percent of homes here are losing value.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
That is among tops in the nation.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And DJ told me this change in moving habits plays
directly into that lower housing demand.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
For number seven, I'm Dan Grossman.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I think we'll ever hear from Dan Grossman again. I mean,
I want to give them credit for a very fine report,
but we've seen this act before, right, What you then
start to get from these elected democrats in office and
the pressure they put on news stations. And Ryan, I
think you pulled that sound last week. Here it is
John Hickenloopert and this was to KUSA. I can't remember
(03:49):
if it was Kyle Clark or Marcial or somebody else,
but hickin Looper just said the quiet part outlaw, Will
you guys always protect me, or to be more precise,
you guys should protect me.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
You guys should be protecting me on SOFF stuff like this.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That was ethical charges against ticking Looper. You guys should
be protecting me on SOF stuff like this. And you know,
he could never get to the point of saying that
out loud unless that's what normally happened all the time,
or at least he believed that's what happened all the
time three out three seven one three eight two five five.
The number tis d eight n five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
I'm playing that clip out again and again. In my mind,
that was the Nine News that Hickenloper made that comment.
And even if maybe short of Sean Hannity, if President
Trump himself went on Fox News with Laura Ingram or
Jesse Waters and said that exact line, you should be
protecting me, what are you doing, they would not capitulate
to that, be like, well, no, mister President, I got
(04:44):
to ask you the direct questions and so forth, like
the fact that he would expect that right from nine News.
If I'm the reporter, I'm really insulted by that.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh yeah, and I think nine News did push back.
Can we confinde whether it was Kyle Clark or somebody else.
I don't know if they did at the time, but
they did eventually because they had to, right. But again,
he doesn't say it unless that's been what's going on exactly. Yeah,
it's it's that's some point. It is what goes on
around here. It's just listen. I was in the media
(05:12):
for a lot of years, and I have tremendous respect
for so many people in Colorado media, including those who
disagree with me ideologically, which are most. But the reality
is the these outlets need access and they know whether
it's a direct sit down on or off the record,
and man, you're not going to have access if you
do that stuff, or they just lose their access and
(05:34):
they learn the lesson. They know that you're going to
lose your access to these top democrats if you ask
them tough questions. There are some noble exceptions to that.
I think of Sean boyd at at Channel four, things
like that three oh three seven one three eight two
five five The number takes d a N five seven
seven three.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Now do you think John Hickenlopper would have said that
in a sit down with Sean Boy to Sewan Boy,
that's a great pull.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
No, No, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Picking loopernos there would have been immediate and likely physical repercussions. Yes,
And I have met John Bobbitt. Have you ever seen
that picture? Do you remember John Bobbit?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
It's an interesting turn there, but uh no, I have
not met him nor seen him in his feature of films.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I didn't even know there were films back when he
hit That whole story was hot. Lorena bobbit John Bobbitt.
It became a verb, getting bobbitted. You don't want to
get bobbitted that if you want to have kids, hold.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
On the cases you covered. In sequence there at least followed.
Was that the craziest time in legal history, the early
to mid nineties.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
There, it's all been, Man, it's all been. Think about
what we're talking about today. Yeah, it's all Ben, It's
all Ben. But some of those Yeah, those were Rodney kerwhoppers,
Lorena bobbittt O. J. Simpson, J Simpson, Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson. Yea, yeah.
I was in that courtroom, sitting right behind when he
got convicted.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, Jerry gave me the first questquestion afterwards. Nice you know,
why is your nice guy? Well, thank you for saying that. Yeah,
But the real reason you were there every time every
day I raised my hand, huh.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Now, the only reason I got into the pool of
people who got to ask them questions was because I
was there every day in court, and I was there
for a network NBC. But but they got this big
gaggle of press. They've just convicted Mike Tyson. The jury's
sitting in the jury box, they're taking a few questions
from press, which juries never do, and everybody's screaming. And
(07:34):
because I'd a trot lawyer and I'm around jury's a lot,
I knew the best approach is just raised my hand.
So I got the first question three out three someone
three eight, two five five. The number takes D eight
n five seven seven three nine. Quick take on what
the court did today dismissing Comy and Letitia James listen,
(07:54):
I got a look in the eye and tell you
it is such a nietzche Niche, as they say in French.
You can tell I grew up in Chicago issue. I
don't know how the appellate Court's going to come down
on it. I don't sit around trying to in my
law practice, I had your catostraphic injury and death work
for victims. I don't sit around trying to figure out
whether the US Attorney is limited to one one hundred
(08:16):
and twenty day temporary appointment or two. And that's what
this whole issue comes down to, the court saying Lindsay
Halligan did not have legal authority to act because she
was in office on a one hundred and twenty day
temporary appointment and the guy before her had a one
hundred and twenty day temporary appointment. That's what this whole
thing comes down to. And if the higher courts uphold
(08:38):
the judge on that, then there may be no charge
against James Combe because the statute of limitations may be gone.
Now letitia James you know, doj will just refile that charge.
So that's what all that boils down to. Now there's
a separate interesting issue in there as to whether the
entire grand jury ever saw the final indictment of Komy.
(09:00):
But clearly the grand jury four person tested on behalf
of the grand jurors that this is what the grand
jury want to do. But the real issue is that
procedure one. So we'll see where that goes. Three oh three, seven, one,
three eight, two five five text d an five seven,
seven through nine when we come back. Any thoughts you
have on that, And we have explosive text today as
(09:21):
you'd expect, but when we come back, I also want
to go deeper on one of the most dangerous, bizarre,
extraordinary in all the wrong ways things I've ever seen
in my three decades on air, and that is Benedict
Crowe and the rest of that game doing what they
did last week. But here's what's fresh and new. A
(09:42):
bunch of them were on that the Sunday shows and
it just got worse for him. Do you think there
will be prosecutions? You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Brian, that's just perfect. I mean, Ryan had promised me
during break a song that would encapsulate everything we've talked
about today. That's remarkably efficient. I mean, because we're talking
about and you know, obviously focused last week on what
a extraordinarily dangerous and major development this was when Benedicte
Crowe and the other five members of that gang decided
(10:20):
to undermine the US military and undermine the commander in
chief with the US military, and then it falls apart
for them very openly over the weekend, and we're playing
some of that. Sound sure applies to that, my friend.
We also Linda Ronstatt worked her way into the conversation
and that was her version, and a Texter says Dan,
I saw Lenda Ronstatt live fourteen times. Fourteen times was
(10:43):
sad and disappointed when she called Michael Moore an American
patriot during the show in Vegas that from the real Ralph? Ralph,
why were you surprised? Did you know anything about her?
Learned anything about her during these fourteen shows you went
to most, not all, most of these people for lefties
at I don't enjoy their music any less as long
(11:04):
as they don't preach to me at a concert, like
all the father daughter stuff. Caroline and I have done
Taylor Swift concerts. You know, listen, my daughter loves her,
so I would have gone regardless and then just held
my hands over my head. But Taylor Swift doesn't preach
politics at concerts. I don't know whether Linda Ronstadt did,
but apparently not since our friend Ralph was unaware for politics.
(11:25):
Does that make you enjoy the music any less? Like
didn't we go to Springsteen together? Or we're sitting together?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yea Joe right right with Joe fun Yeah, yeah, I
would say I try not to let it, and most
musicians don't inject it into their music on stages. When
they start doing that, though, I'm a little put off.
But with Ronstadt on Michael Moore, I will say this.
The nineteen eighty nine version of Michael Moore Dan with
Roger and Me that was his original documentary about GM
(11:53):
and the loss of auto jobs. Yeah, that would appeal
to Trump voters now, and that probably would have appealed
to you and me and our political sensibilities back then.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No interesting. And you know, even if you get a
lefty performer Springsteen whoever, they do some politics and concert,
so what, so what, I'm a big dog. That's that's
not going to cause me to lose sleep or anything. Okay,
that's his opinion. Okay, Well, I don't care about anybody's
opinion unless they back it up with facts and analysis
(12:22):
and truth, then I care a lot about it. That
I care a lot about it. You have heard me
over the course of the decades on air change my
position on certain issues because somebody called the show with
an opinion, and it was a strong, powerful opinion, but
above all was backed by facts and logic and reason.
So yeah, but but just some left who's putting on
(12:44):
a show I'm otherwise enjoying and they make some political comments.
It's not like Wizard of Oz and you know, I'm
the witch and they're monkeys with buckets of water. I mean,
I can take it. I can take it if they
disagree with me. No, I've never understood the people who
go on that performer because they disagree with man politics.
(13:04):
I don't get that.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Well one example for me, I really like John Mellencamp's music. Yeah,
but he's such adult when it comes to politics. And
even he was on with Bill Maher on that show
where Bill drinks a lot and smokes weed, that kind
of private podcast that he does, and Mellencamp just got
exposed for being just a fraud when it comes to
political acumen knowledge. He doesn't know what he's talking about
(13:27):
in ma just like dude. He couldn't even really engage
smoking that.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And then here Ralph writes back and said she never
brought Jerry Brown on stage or displayed her politics. I
forgot that she either lived with or Mary Jerry Brown
famous for And can we get this bite for the
button bar?
Speaker 9 (13:46):
We have it.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I remember it in.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
The archives in the arc. Oh okay, I can bring
it during the break.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And it's Jerry Brown as far left as you can
get governor of California. How many Stoners can you have
and still be a great state. Yeah, you'll have it
in ten minutes, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
It's good work.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
But in the meantime, I will visit Littleton, Colorado'll talk
to Scott. You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Welcome, Hi Dan.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I'm living to dream? How about you?
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Yes, sir, you were asking why Jason Crow pulled this off?
Speaker 10 (14:16):
And I just got through reading in the gazette that
he pulled a fundraising email on Friday directly off of
this using.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Uh using the excuse or whatever you want to call it,
that uh Trump Thretton to kill him and.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
Jail him, blah blah blah, and then he sent this
email out.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
To everybody trying.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
To get some campaign financing money out of it. You'll
have to read to get a little deeper into it.
But you know Jason Crow, you know he is no dummy,
but he is a He is a puke, that's for sure.
And I can see him.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
You know the other thing, what's your definition of puke? Well,
he's he's just he is a very corrupt and thirty person.
He doesn't do anything except if it's going to gain
him something. Example is this he you know, he put
out in this Twitter a big deal about how he's
(15:33):
been threatened and how his family has been threatened, which
first of all, he really doesn't necessarily have a family.
He's you know, his wife dumped him.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So I don't know about any of that stuff. Kevin. Honestly,
I don't care about it. But let me ask you this,
would you say corrupt? I do have to ask you
one question, my friend, when when you say corrupt, you
don't mean like legally prosecutably corrupt, because I'm not aware
of any credible allegations of any corruption on his part.
If you're talking about morally corrupt, I think, yes, I think.
(16:08):
I think trying to undermine the US military, trying to
divide and turn the military against the commander in chief
is morally corrupt. I think doing that without being able
to point to a single unlawful order, I think that's
morally corrupt. But I'm not aware of any claims ever,
of any kind of like legal corruption by Crow. Appreciate
(16:29):
the call, my friend, trying to get everybody in here,
Kevin in Boulder. You're on the Dan Kaplis Show. Welcome.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I got.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
Some comments on run sets.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Oh yeah, hey, you want to hold him off to
the break, so we don't cut you off there, Kevin,
And I did want to insert there in terms of
Crow saying that he family had been threatened. I take
that very seriously. I think threats need to be taken
more seriously by the law in America, and there needs
to be a real punishment for any type of true threats. Now,
(17:03):
Jason Crowe, apparently, though, didn't mention what he had to
have known.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I'm not saying it was his intent, but he and
the others in his game, Slot and Kelly the rest
of him, they had to have known before they push
send on that video that that video was going to
put President Trump's life in grave danger. Not saying that
was their intent, but they had to know that would
be the effect. Did he mention in his fundraising video
(17:29):
that concern? Now any kind of threats against Crow, his family, whatever,
are absolutely despicable and wrong. But why was he willing
to put Donald Trump in that kind of danger when
he couldn't point to a single order that he considered
to be unlawful? And that happened again, he conceded it
(17:50):
over the weekend on the Sunday shows.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So are you saying that there was not necessarily any
particular precipitating event.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
There is no specific thing out there that made you
decide now was the right time.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
To be clear, we are not calling on folks right
now to debate to disobey any type of unlawful order
right because he knows they're earning And if he pointed
to an order and said disobey, that he would end
up in jail. That's why he's not pointing to an order.
In my humble opinion, when we Quebec Pope Leo speaking
out an American immigration policy, some wise words. You're on
(18:22):
the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
You're listening to the Dan Capliss Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Molly McNerney, Jimmy Kimmel's wife and head writer, went public
on this topic recently, so I feel it's fair to
comment respectfully in public. She says she's lost relationships with
relatives because she wrote them an email before the election
with ten reasons why they shouldn't vote for Trump, and.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Some still didn't obey.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
So you know.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Ten reasons.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I can think of one hundred, but I would never
present it to someone as an ultimatum. Ultimatums don't make
people resink their politics.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
They make them recink you.
Speaker 12 (19:09):
Except now, this is a great topic for this week,
but it caused me to do something I rarely do,
which is disagree with Ryan Shuoling twice in the same.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Show Ryan does a great twice. Ryan does a Great
Show two to four Monday through Friday. Just before the
show he does it in the Denver Market on sixt thirty,
Kids W I always try to listen on the way in.
Sometimes I'm on a work call and I can't. But
today I heard it all on the way in, and
I almost always agree with you, and the show is
so very well done. But two different things we disagreed on. First,
(19:45):
Ryan made the comment that if Kamala Harris was a
white dude, we never would have heard her name. And
while I agree, and I've been saying for years, America
would never elect Kamala Harris. She's completely unaccomplished and she's incompetent. Okay,
fair point, But you can't say that if she was
a white dude, we'd never hear her name. Because I've
got to drop the Mike exhibit a Russ my case,
(20:07):
your honor, and that is Michael Bennett. White dude. Can
we agree on that much? White dude, it's a yes
or no question. You're on a please instruct the witness
answer the question, I'm walking.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
It further down the line. If Kamala Harris was a
white dude, would she have had an affair with Willie Brown,
the mayor of San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You'd have to ask Willy Brown. I would think he
would reject that offer. Well, you'd have to ask him.
But here's the point. Here's the point. Michael Bennett is
a white dude. True, yes or no, question is okay,
he is a white dude. Michael Bennett is stunningly unaccomplished. True,
very boring, yes, but no beyond that, yeah, nobody in
(20:47):
public life has ever done less with more than Michael Bent.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
That's a great way to put it and frame it.
And yes, I would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's two thousand and nine when he's appointed to a
Senden seat, one of the most powerful platforms ever created
on Earth. Nobody has ever done less with more.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
It's hard to do.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
So that's my point is no, Yeah, but both right
shouldn't be where they are. But one's a white dude
and and one's not. That's all I'm saying. But the
second point on Thanksgiving, my friend you made a comment
there that I mean, I thoroughly enjoyed your riff. But
but the comment's provably false because you were talking about
(21:24):
how for all these reasons, you're not going to talk
politics at Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
No way, no chance.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
We all know you will.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
No, I won't.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
You will not unless because that's the point it will be,
And you're just gonna sit there and take it while
they bashed Trump and all these people you vote for.
You're not going to just sit there and take it,
Like you said, dead turkey in front of you.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I think I'll just point to the scoreboard and say,
he Mike, I wan't. That's all I need.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And here's how I know you won't. You know how
I know you won't. How's that because I wouldn't. And
and it's one of my great regrets in life is
and I try not to have too many. But my father,
we were all down in Florida. My dad's health was failing,
and we all went to this big family dinner and
(22:18):
it was you know, we still, thank god had my
dad with us for another year, but he wasn't in
the greatest of health. And the whole family's together and
the talk turn to politics, and my brother, who said
he would move out of the country. If Trump won
and did move out of moved his whole family out
of the country. You know, he makes his political points.
(22:39):
And Amy's just looking at me like, don't, don't, don't.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
I would be Amy. I would agree with her.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Now, it was great, I advice don't don't don't. I
could read her eyes and I did, and it it
just digressed and it didn't serve any purpose. And I
just regret that you will not be able to sit
back and take it. You are not a potted plant.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
It's just not that important to me. I'm not going
to change their minds. They're certainly not going to change mine.
So I don't know where that conversation goes from there.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, you know where it's going. We'll talk next Monday,
and you'll admit that you had to fight it back.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
They might. We'll bring it up my family. Every family
is different. My family, what they might try to do,
rather than gang up on me because they know that
won't work, is individually try to pick me off, maybe
one by one, like in the kitchen, getting over a
glass of wine or something like that.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That that that's all a violation of your promise, and
you will violate your promise, and that doesn't make you
a lesser person. I'm not going to bring it up,
but that's that's what I was thinking in the car.
You're not going to bring it up. What they will
and you will have.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
To fire control them.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Then ye'll my reaction to them, and I don't want
to let them get my goat, and I'm.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Not gonna let them get my dander up because I
don't care. My guy won, including the state where they
voted against him, Michigan.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
When they start attacking the goat, you will fire back.
That's all I'm saying. Let me get to some text here, Dan,
I think you made Ryan's case for him. Bill Ritter
was Michael, No, No, I'm not kid. Sometimes you start
to read a text and then you realize profane, obscene
way boy. Yeah wow, Dan, you forgot. They don't care
about putting Trump's life in danger. What do you possibly mean, Texter.
(24:27):
I've said it repeatedly today last week, whether it was
their intent or not, these are smart people who had
to know an effect of the Benedict Arnold video was
that they would be putting President Trump's life in grave danger,
and they did it anyway, not saying they intended to,
but they had to know that would be the effect.
(24:48):
So what do you mean? I've said it over and
over and over again. What does this one mean? Ryan, Dan?
Just don't go Roger Waters? Who's Roger Water?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
A known anti Semite? Who's the front known for a
band that you should know but you'd don't, apparently, and
that's Pink Floyd in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Well, it's I brought great that. I don't know how
n season anti semit, pretty Rach, I don't want to
know any anti Semit's good point, Okay, Dan, Trump's overrating
his party is eighty seven percent, which is ten percent
higher than Obama or Bush. I'd have to double check
those numbers. Dan, Good to hear you bragging again. What
does that mean?
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Maybe about your career covering these big legal cases in
the nineties, I.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Never stopped bragging. What does he mean? Good to hear
you bragging again? You got to listen more often, right,
Kevin and Boulder, Thanks to your patience, my friend, We're
getting back to the important stuff. Linda Ronstan, did you
cheat on Jerry Brown with you?
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Okay, just a guess.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
I lived in Phoenix for several decades, and Linda's brother
was two Sons chief of police for many years. When Linda,
before she got a record contract and was touring clubs,
she had a backing band called the Stone Ponies.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Wow, they pretty fit.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
She told them they were so good that they should
get their own band going. They've got their own band going,
and they changed the name from the Stone Ponies to.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
The Eagles.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, that's cool, man, that's a great story. That's a
great story. Hey, thank you for that. Linda Ronston. I
had mentioned when this first came up that I saw
her at Red Rocks and what an amazing show that was.
Look out your window there, Ryan, tell me that doesn't
look and it's not. By the way, it's not UFOs.
But tell me that doesn't look like three UFOs coming
(26:48):
right toward our building and it's not. See it right there. No,
they're not, they're not. It's a crane moving. Oh great, Yeah,
they're doing they're they're doing some work across the street.
And I look out the window, because I did look
out the window once that was at the different studio.
Looked out the window once and saw Air Force one
coming right by the building.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Now turned out it was just the plane. The President
wasn't on it, and they apparently were doing some altitude testing,
maybe some emergency maneuvers because they were not high over
two twenty five. But yeah, I look out the window
and here are these three bright lights, separated coming right
at the radio studio. But a crane. Do you believe
in UFOs?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
I'm an agnostic. I can't rule it out, and I
don't like having a closed mind going into something like that.
I am open to the evidence if it's going to
be presented to us. Barack Obama and Donald Trump, but
both had kind of interesting eye opening answers on that topic.
They weren't ruling it out.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
No, I wouldn't rule it out. God can do anything
God wants to do. Yeah, yeah, I'm just glad we're here.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
There are six intelligent elected officials whose intent was to
serve to send chaos in a new area. They are
each compromised a lah ken buck near the end of
his term to be mere puppets of the cabal that
has run this country for the last four years and
is intent on toppling the current administration because Trump cannot
be bought and will not comply with their socialist agenda.
(28:14):
That from the real Ralph. I don't think ken Buck
fits in this conversation at all. Ken Buck was a
tremendous conservative warrior for many, many years before whatever happened
at the end happened, and these six were talking about
none have ever been been that. But I am absolutely
(28:37):
transfixed on the question of why would they do it.
They had to know, right, didn't They have to know
the grave danger they'd be putting Trump in. They knew
they couldn't point to a single unlawful order. They used
the word unlawful, in my opinion, to give them legal cover.
So why do you think they did it? You're on
the dan Kapla Show, and.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Now back to the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Podcas asked, Yeah, she was so good, Linda Ronstad. I
was going to play a bite, but I'm not going
to play it over that well.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
I want to make clear the nightlight. When I start
playing a lot of songs by the same artists, people
make the correct assumption that the artist has passed away. No, No,
she had some health difficulties, some severe ones. I believe
Parkinson's No. How old is she She's seventy nine. No, yeah, yeah,
she's a year older than my dad.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I can't even picture that. I know, I cannot even
picture that.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It's it's a funny thing about life, right, and I
think for a reason. But she will always be the
age she was on the cover of her first big album. Yeah,
you know, and I bet she is that way inside and.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
A tremendous artist, that voice.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
But I mean just inside. I mean, if we had
that conversation before, you know, what age are you frozen at?
I know what age I'm frozen at. And to ourselves
almost everybody listening, we are still that age inside. We're
still that age in our minds. You're maybe wiser and smarter,
but we're still that age. We're not the chronological age.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
You're kind of like Trump Dan, I mean that in
the thank you You're kind of a miracle. I'm serious, Like,
physically you don't age. And it kind of makes me
envious because you've got all your hair, you know, thank
got good shape, You're gonna live through like one hundred
and twenty like your uncle's going to in Chicago. You
(30:26):
got good jeans.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Thank you, my sir, thank you. It's so Kindie you say,
and you know it does it for my uncle, the
Catholic priest in ninety three, still doing three masses, a
couple of funerals, a wedding a week.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
He's been on the show.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You know what it is. He's got the strongest immune
system in the world because of his job, because all
these years going all these hospitals. Ye going to visit
all these sick people, everything else.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Good point.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Unless he gets hit by a semi nothing's going to
get him, and praise God, he won't. He came out,
which goes back to one of the great stories about him.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
I believe he and William Shatner are almost the exact
same age. Yeah, like ninety three, right, Yeah, okay, I've
heard them both interviewed and fairly recently. Your uncle by
you is like, there's no way this guy's ninety three. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well, I'm going to save that tape. You will have
made his day by saying that. And we're staying together
at Christmas, so that'll be nice. Yeah, well, I will
play him that tape. Thank you, Dan, says the Texter.
Good to see you bragging again is facetious. Okay, well,
thank you for clearing that up. Yeah, I appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That brings me to another topic. We don't talk about
sports on air except when it transcends sports. I'd like
to give some unsolicited, unwanted advice to somebody I really
like and respect who will never hear this advice and
wouldn't care if he did. But that is Shador Sanders.
I think he is a phenomenal quarterback talent. I think
(31:51):
he's also likely, I don't know him personally, a very
good guy, tough guy. I'm a fan. I want to
see him do well. I think he was probably the
best quarterback available in that last draft and I think
he showed that on the field yesterday. And I think
(32:13):
he will be very quickly a top quarterback in this league.
But my fear for him is that and I don't
know whether it's an act, whether it's whatever it is,
but and I have no doubt he actually has this
confidence he conveys. My fear for him is that by
conveying all of this very admirable self confidence, and we
(32:36):
all need that, right, we all need that in life
and as certain professions, so you better have it. And
I'm glad he has it. But then the question is
how you convey that now he conveys it through his play,
and that's why I think we saw so much great
legendary play in Boulder from him, especially in crunch time.
We saw it yesterday Cleveland against the Raiders, who have
(32:59):
a very good defense. It's the only thing that's good there.
But they got it in Oakland or now Vegas. But
all I'm saying is I am afraid that this admirable
confidence that shad Or has, if he keeps conveying at
the way he does publicly, it's going to limit his opportunities.
Well that's why he fell in the draft. Yeah, clearly
(33:21):
it wasn't his ability. He's got a ton of ability
and proven toughness. But did you see some of his
postgame comments. I didn't see the comments. I saw that
he played extreme play and he made he made throws
very few people control. And so he's got it all.
He has got it all. But I just hope that
(33:41):
and he he won't. I mean, this is who he
is and that's the way he's going to be. God
love him. I just hope that it doesn't stop him
from getting the on field opportunities he should have.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
And might say a very familiar example. His dad was
the exact same way at that exact same age as
over time. That's true, he played cornerback. Yeah, it's more
lends itself more to that cockiness aspect on the best,
and he was the best.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Dean was to me thousand percent that the quarterback yeah different.
I think the quarterback, right, I think the quarterback yeah,
just has to It's a different position and it's got
to be less me and I love the confidence he has.
(34:25):
But in that position, yeah, and I as long as
he gets the opportunity on the field, he's going to shine.
So I just I just hope he gets that opportunity
on the field, and I'm afraid that that approach is
going to make that less likely anyway. Tremendous job, Brian,
Thank you, And tomorrow we're going to do the whole
(34:46):
deep dive on the issue of Poplio's comments on American
immigration policy that the nation has a right to control
its borders but treating people with dignity, well, deep dive
that 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. So much to
talk about, you know, it used to be, as I
mentioned earlier that this Thanksgiving week things had calmed down,
(00:21):
slow news cycles, people even town. It's as action packed
Monday as I can remember. We have the big court
ruling coming down in the dismissing the Komy and Letitia
James indictments. I'll break that down for you quickly. It's
a fascinating procedural issue. At the heart of it had
nothing to do with the merits, and they will refile
(00:41):
against Letitia James, that's a certainty. The question is is
it too late to file against Komy. So I'll get
to that in a second. I think the much bigger
news over the weekend is Benedicte Crowe and the rest
of this gang of six. It's all falling apart for them,
as you know, people start to pin them down on
these these national shows over Wait second, can you point
(01:03):
to even a single unlawful order. Even friendly press have
to ask that question, right, because you'd lose all credibility
if you have one of them on the show and
you don't ask him that question. And none of them,
none of them are able to say, Yeah, that's the
unlawful order I'm talking about, don't obey that order. None
of them are are willing to say, don't obey that order.
(01:23):
There's the order that was given that's unlawful, and they're
not doing that because they know they'd go to jail
because Trump has not delivered any unlawful orders. Three O
three seven one three eight two five five. The number
texts a D an five seven seven three nine. So
we'll break that down, but I really want you to
hear this. This great story from Channel seven in Denver,
(01:46):
digging into why so many people are leaving Denver. So
I'll start with that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I'm Dan Grossman for Denver seven. So Denver, remember when
it was like one of the coolest places in the
country to live.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Kiss those days goodbye.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Because new numbers are showing Denver is quickly becoming one
of the top cities people are not looking to move to.
So it comes from this move Buddha data study. This
map showing the ten places where people are most likely
to move to Denver, though it is showing a negative
forty eight. That is showing the falling percentage of how
likely people are to move here now compared to right
(02:19):
before the pandemic. So I wanted to double check this though,
so I pulled up this study. It is from the
Colorado based Common Sense Institute, and it's showing that net
migration in our state, so the difference between the number
of people moving in and out has fallen by more
than fifty percent. I spoke to their director of Research Operations,
Dj Summers, about why this.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Is one of the more expensive areas in terms of
housing in the nation now and that has been steadily
building from the mid twenty tens onward. Inflation in the
Denver metro area is also outpaced to the nations, So
there are a few points there that could be that
could be pretty explanatory.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Some folks might be happy to hear that fewer people
are choosing to move here, but DJ told me that
it does pose issues for our state's economy by hurting
the job and housing markets. A recent ZILLA report found
that more than ninety percent of homes here are losing value.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
That is among tops in the nation.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And DJ told me this change in moving habits plays
directly into that lower housing demand.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
For number seven, I'm Dan Grossman.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I think we'll ever hear from Dan Grossman again. I mean,
I want to give them credit for a very fine report,
but we've seen this act before, right, What you then
start to get from these elected democrats in office and
the pressure they put on news stations. And Ryan, I
think you pulled that sound last week. Here it is
John Hickenloopert and this was to KUSA. I can't remember
(03:49):
if it was Kyle Clark or Marcial or somebody else,
but hickin Looper just said the quiet part outlaw, Will
you guys always protect me, or to be more precise,
you guys should protect me.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
You guys should be protecting me on SOFF stuff like this.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That was ethical charges against ticking Looper. You guys should
be protecting me on SOF stuff like this. And you know,
he could never get to the point of saying that
out loud unless that's what normally happened all the time,
or at least he believed that's what happened all the
time three out three seven one three eight two five five.
The number tis d eight n five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
I'm playing that clip out again and again. In my mind,
that was the Nine News that Hickenloper made that comment.
And even if maybe short of Sean Hannity, if President
Trump himself went on Fox News with Laura Ingram or
Jesse Waters and said that exact line, you should be
protecting me, what are you doing, they would not capitulate
to that, be like, well, no, mister President, I got
(04:44):
to ask you the direct questions and so forth, like
the fact that he would expect that right from nine News.
If I'm the reporter, I'm really insulted by that.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh yeah, and I think nine News did push back.
Can we confinde whether it was Kyle Clark or somebody else.
I don't know if they did at the time, but
they did eventually because they had to, right. But again,
he doesn't say it unless that's been what's going on exactly. Yeah,
it's it's that's some point. It is what goes on
around here. It's just listen. I was in the media
(05:12):
for a lot of years, and I have tremendous respect
for so many people in Colorado media, including those who
disagree with me ideologically, which are most. But the reality
is the these outlets need access and they know whether
it's a direct sit down on or off the record,
and man, you're not going to have access if you
do that stuff, or they just lose their access and
(05:34):
they learn the lesson. They know that you're going to
lose your access to these top democrats if you ask
them tough questions. There are some noble exceptions to that.
I think of Sean boyd at at Channel four, things
like that three oh three seven one three eight two
five five The number takes d a N five seven
seven three.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Now do you think John Hickenlopper would have said that
in a sit down with Sean Boy to Sewan Boy,
that's a great pull.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
No, No, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Picking loopernos there would have been immediate and likely physical repercussions. Yes,
And I have met John Bobbitt. Have you ever seen
that picture? Do you remember John Bobbit?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
It's an interesting turn there, but uh no, I have
not met him nor seen him in his feature of films.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I didn't even know there were films back when he
hit That whole story was hot. Lorena bobbit John Bobbitt.
It became a verb, getting bobbitted. You don't want to
get bobbitted that if you want to have kids, hold.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
On the cases you covered. In sequence there at least followed.
Was that the craziest time in legal history, the early
to mid nineties.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
There, it's all been, Man, it's all been. Think about
what we're talking about today. Yeah, it's all Ben, It's
all Ben. But some of those Yeah, those were Rodney kerwhoppers,
Lorena bobbittt O. J. Simpson, J Simpson, Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson. Yea, yeah.
I was in that courtroom, sitting right behind when he
got convicted.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, Jerry gave me the first questquestion afterwards. Nice you know,
why is your nice guy? Well, thank you for saying that. Yeah,
But the real reason you were there every time every
day I raised my hand, huh.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Now, the only reason I got into the pool of
people who got to ask them questions was because I
was there every day in court, and I was there
for a network NBC. But but they got this big
gaggle of press. They've just convicted Mike Tyson. The jury's
sitting in the jury box, they're taking a few questions
from press, which juries never do, and everybody's screaming. And
(07:34):
because I'd a trot lawyer and I'm around jury's a lot,
I knew the best approach is just raised my hand.
So I got the first question three out three someone
three eight, two five five. The number takes D eight
n five seven seven three nine. Quick take on what
the court did today dismissing Comy and Letitia James listen,
(07:54):
I got a look in the eye and tell you
it is such a nietzche Niche, as they say in French.
You can tell I grew up in Chicago issue. I
don't know how the appellate Court's going to come down
on it. I don't sit around trying to in my
law practice, I had your catostraphic injury and death work
for victims. I don't sit around trying to figure out
whether the US Attorney is limited to one one hundred
(08:16):
and twenty day temporary appointment or two. And that's what
this whole issue comes down to, the court saying Lindsay
Halligan did not have legal authority to act because she
was in office on a one hundred and twenty day
temporary appointment and the guy before her had a one
hundred and twenty day temporary appointment. That's what this whole
thing comes down to. And if the higher courts uphold
(08:38):
the judge on that, then there may be no charge
against James Combe because the statute of limitations may be gone.
Now letitia James you know, doj will just refile that charge.
So that's what all that boils down to. Now there's
a separate interesting issue in there as to whether the
entire grand jury ever saw the final indictment of Komy.
(09:00):
But clearly the grand jury four person tested on behalf
of the grand jurors that this is what the grand
jury want to do. But the real issue is that
procedure one. So we'll see where that goes. Three oh three, seven, one,
three eight, two five five text d an five seven,
seven through nine when we come back. Any thoughts you
have on that, And we have explosive text today as
(09:21):
you'd expect, but when we come back, I also want
to go deeper on one of the most dangerous, bizarre,
extraordinary in all the wrong ways things I've ever seen
in my three decades on air, and that is Benedict
Crowe and the rest of that game doing what they
did last week. But here's what's fresh and new. A
(09:42):
bunch of them were on that the Sunday shows and
it just got worse for him. Do you think there
will be prosecutions? You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Brian, that's just perfect. I mean, Ryan had promised me
during break a song that would encapsulate everything we've talked
about today. That's remarkably efficient. I mean, because we're talking
about and you know, obviously focused last week on what
a extraordinarily dangerous and major development this was when Benedicte
Crowe and the other five members of that gang decided
(10:20):
to undermine the US military and undermine the commander in
chief with the US military, and then it falls apart
for them very openly over the weekend, and we're playing
some of that. Sound sure applies to that, my friend.
We also Linda Ronstatt worked her way into the conversation
and that was her version, and a Texter says Dan,
I saw Lenda Ronstatt live fourteen times. Fourteen times was
(10:43):
sad and disappointed when she called Michael Moore an American
patriot during the show in Vegas that from the real Ralph? Ralph,
why were you surprised? Did you know anything about her?
Learned anything about her during these fourteen shows you went
to most, not all, most of these people for lefties
at I don't enjoy their music any less as long
(11:04):
as they don't preach to me at a concert, like
all the father daughter stuff. Caroline and I have done
Taylor Swift concerts. You know, listen, my daughter loves her,
so I would have gone regardless and then just held
my hands over my head. But Taylor Swift doesn't preach
politics at concerts. I don't know whether Linda Ronstadt did,
but apparently not since our friend Ralph was unaware for politics.
(11:25):
Does that make you enjoy the music any less? Like
didn't we go to Springsteen together? Or we're sitting together?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yea Joe right right with Joe fun Yeah, yeah, I
would say I try not to let it, and most
musicians don't inject it into their music on stages. When
they start doing that, though, I'm a little put off.
But with Ronstadt on Michael Moore, I will say this.
The nineteen eighty nine version of Michael Moore Dan with
Roger and Me that was his original documentary about GM
(11:53):
and the loss of auto jobs. Yeah, that would appeal
to Trump voters now, and that probably would have appealed
to you and me and our political sensibilities back then.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No interesting. And you know, even if you get a
lefty performer Springsteen whoever, they do some politics and concert,
so what, so what, I'm a big dog. That's that's
not going to cause me to lose sleep or anything. Okay,
that's his opinion. Okay, Well, I don't care about anybody's
opinion unless they back it up with facts and analysis
(12:22):
and truth, then I care a lot about it. That
I care a lot about it. You have heard me
over the course of the decades on air change my
position on certain issues because somebody called the show with
an opinion, and it was a strong, powerful opinion, but
above all was backed by facts and logic and reason.
So yeah, but but just some left who's putting on
(12:44):
a show I'm otherwise enjoying and they make some political comments.
It's not like Wizard of Oz and you know, I'm
the witch and they're monkeys with buckets of water. I mean,
I can take it. I can take it if they
disagree with me. No, I've never understood the people who
go on that performer because they disagree with man politics.
(13:04):
I don't get that.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Well one example for me, I really like John Mellencamp's music. Yeah,
but he's such adult when it comes to politics. And
even he was on with Bill Maher on that show
where Bill drinks a lot and smokes weed, that kind
of private podcast that he does, and Mellencamp just got
exposed for being just a fraud when it comes to
political acumen knowledge. He doesn't know what he's talking about
(13:27):
in ma just like dude. He couldn't even really engage
smoking that.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And then here Ralph writes back and said she never
brought Jerry Brown on stage or displayed her politics. I
forgot that she either lived with or Mary Jerry Brown
famous for And can we get this bite for the
button bar?
Speaker 9 (13:46):
We have it.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I remember it in.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
The archives in the arc. Oh okay, I can bring
it during the break.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And it's Jerry Brown as far left as you can
get governor of California. How many Stoners can you have
and still be a great state. Yeah, you'll have it
in ten minutes, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
It's good work.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
But in the meantime, I will visit Littleton, Colorado'll talk
to Scott. You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Welcome, Hi Dan.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I'm living to dream? How about you?
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Yes, sir, you were asking why Jason Crow pulled this off?
Speaker 10 (14:16):
And I just got through reading in the gazette that
he pulled a fundraising email on Friday directly off of
this using.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Uh using the excuse or whatever you want to call it,
that uh Trump Thretton to kill him and.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
Jail him, blah blah blah, and then he sent this
email out.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
To everybody trying.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
To get some campaign financing money out of it. You'll
have to read to get a little deeper into it.
But you know Jason Crow, you know he is no dummy,
but he is a He is a puke, that's for sure.
And I can see him.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
You know the other thing, what's your definition of puke? Well,
he's he's just he is a very corrupt and thirty person.
He doesn't do anything except if it's going to gain
him something. Example is this he you know, he put
out in this Twitter a big deal about how he's
(15:33):
been threatened and how his family has been threatened, which
first of all, he really doesn't necessarily have a family.
He's you know, his wife dumped him.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So I don't know about any of that stuff. Kevin. Honestly,
I don't care about it. But let me ask you this,
would you say corrupt? I do have to ask you
one question, my friend, when when you say corrupt, you
don't mean like legally prosecutably corrupt, because I'm not aware
of any credible allegations of any corruption on his part.
If you're talking about morally corrupt, I think, yes, I think.
(16:08):
I think trying to undermine the US military, trying to
divide and turn the military against the commander in chief
is morally corrupt. I think doing that without being able
to point to a single unlawful order, I think that's
morally corrupt. But I'm not aware of any claims ever,
of any kind of like legal corruption by Crow. Appreciate
(16:29):
the call, my friend, trying to get everybody in here,
Kevin in Boulder. You're on the Dan Kaplis Show. Welcome.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I got.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
Some comments on run sets.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Oh yeah, hey, you want to hold him off to
the break, so we don't cut you off there, Kevin,
And I did want to insert there in terms of
Crow saying that he family had been threatened. I take
that very seriously. I think threats need to be taken
more seriously by the law in America, and there needs
to be a real punishment for any type of true threats. Now,
(17:03):
Jason Crowe, apparently, though, didn't mention what he had to
have known.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I'm not saying it was his intent, but he and
the others in his game, Slot and Kelly the rest
of him, they had to have known before they push
send on that video that that video was going to
put President Trump's life in grave danger. Not saying that
was their intent, but they had to know that would
be the effect. Did he mention in his fundraising video
(17:29):
that concern? Now any kind of threats against Crow, his family, whatever,
are absolutely despicable and wrong. But why was he willing
to put Donald Trump in that kind of danger when
he couldn't point to a single order that he considered
to be unlawful? And that happened again, he conceded it
(17:50):
over the weekend on the Sunday shows.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So are you saying that there was not necessarily any
particular precipitating event.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
There is no specific thing out there that made you
decide now was the right time.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
To be clear, we are not calling on folks right
now to debate to disobey any type of unlawful order
right because he knows they're earning And if he pointed
to an order and said disobey, that he would end
up in jail. That's why he's not pointing to an order.
In my humble opinion, when we Quebec Pope Leo speaking
out an American immigration policy, some wise words. You're on
(18:22):
the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
You're listening to the Dan Capliss Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Molly McNerney, Jimmy Kimmel's wife and head writer, went public
on this topic recently, so I feel it's fair to
comment respectfully in public. She says she's lost relationships with
relatives because she wrote them an email before the election
with ten reasons why they shouldn't vote for Trump, and.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Some still didn't obey.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
So you know.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Ten reasons.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I can think of one hundred, but I would never
present it to someone as an ultimatum. Ultimatums don't make
people resink their politics.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
They make them recink you.
Speaker 12 (19:09):
Except now, this is a great topic for this week,
but it caused me to do something I rarely do,
which is disagree with Ryan Shuoling twice in the same.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Show Ryan does a great twice. Ryan does a Great
Show two to four Monday through Friday. Just before the
show he does it in the Denver Market on sixt thirty,
Kids W I always try to listen on the way in.
Sometimes I'm on a work call and I can't. But
today I heard it all on the way in, and
I almost always agree with you, and the show is
so very well done. But two different things we disagreed on. First,
(19:45):
Ryan made the comment that if Kamala Harris was a
white dude, we never would have heard her name. And
while I agree, and I've been saying for years, America
would never elect Kamala Harris. She's completely unaccomplished and she's incompetent. Okay,
fair point, But you can't say that if she was
a white dude, we'd never hear her name. Because I've
got to drop the Mike exhibit a Russ my case,
(20:07):
your honor, and that is Michael Bennett. White dude. Can
we agree on that much? White dude, it's a yes
or no question. You're on a please instruct the witness
answer the question, I'm walking.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
It further down the line. If Kamala Harris was a
white dude, would she have had an affair with Willie Brown,
the mayor of San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You'd have to ask Willy Brown. I would think he
would reject that offer. Well, you'd have to ask him.
But here's the point. Here's the point. Michael Bennett is
a white dude. True, yes or no, question is okay,
he is a white dude. Michael Bennett is stunningly unaccomplished. True,
very boring, yes, but no beyond that, yeah, nobody in
(20:47):
public life has ever done less with more than Michael Bent.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
That's a great way to put it and frame it.
And yes, I would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's two thousand and nine when he's appointed to a
Senden seat, one of the most powerful platforms ever created
on Earth. Nobody has ever done less with more.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
It's hard to do.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
So that's my point is no, Yeah, but both right
shouldn't be where they are. But one's a white dude
and and one's not. That's all I'm saying. But the
second point on Thanksgiving, my friend you made a comment
there that I mean, I thoroughly enjoyed your riff. But
but the comment's provably false because you were talking about
(21:24):
how for all these reasons, you're not going to talk
politics at Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
No way, no chance.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
We all know you will.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
No, I won't.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
You will not unless because that's the point it will be,
And you're just gonna sit there and take it while
they bashed Trump and all these people you vote for.
You're not going to just sit there and take it,
Like you said, dead turkey in front of you.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I think I'll just point to the scoreboard and say,
he Mike, I wan't. That's all I need.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And here's how I know you won't. You know how
I know you won't. How's that because I wouldn't. And
and it's one of my great regrets in life is
and I try not to have too many. But my father,
we were all down in Florida. My dad's health was failing,
and we all went to this big family dinner and
(22:18):
it was you know, we still, thank god had my
dad with us for another year, but he wasn't in
the greatest of health. And the whole family's together and
the talk turn to politics, and my brother, who said
he would move out of the country. If Trump won
and did move out of moved his whole family out
of the country. You know, he makes his political points.
(22:39):
And Amy's just looking at me like, don't, don't, don't.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
I would be Amy. I would agree with her.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Now, it was great, I advice don't don't don't. I
could read her eyes and I did, and it it
just digressed and it didn't serve any purpose. And I
just regret that you will not be able to sit
back and take it. You are not a potted plant.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
It's just not that important to me. I'm not going
to change their minds. They're certainly not going to change mine.
So I don't know where that conversation goes from there.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, you know where it's going. We'll talk next Monday,
and you'll admit that you had to fight it back.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
They might. We'll bring it up my family. Every family
is different. My family, what they might try to do,
rather than gang up on me because they know that
won't work, is individually try to pick me off, maybe
one by one, like in the kitchen, getting over a
glass of wine or something like that.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That that that's all a violation of your promise, and
you will violate your promise, and that doesn't make you
a lesser person. I'm not going to bring it up,
but that's that's what I was thinking in the car.
You're not going to bring it up. What they will
and you will have.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
To fire control them.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Then ye'll my reaction to them, and I don't want
to let them get my goat, and I'm.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Not gonna let them get my dander up because I
don't care. My guy won, including the state where they
voted against him, Michigan.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
When they start attacking the goat, you will fire back.
That's all I'm saying. Let me get to some text here, Dan,
I think you made Ryan's case for him. Bill Ritter
was Michael, No, No, I'm not kid. Sometimes you start
to read a text and then you realize profane, obscene
way boy. Yeah wow, Dan, you forgot. They don't care
about putting Trump's life in danger. What do you possibly mean, Texter.
(24:27):
I've said it repeatedly today last week, whether it was
their intent or not, these are smart people who had
to know an effect of the Benedict Arnold video was
that they would be putting President Trump's life in grave danger,
and they did it anyway, not saying they intended to,
but they had to know that would be the effect.
(24:48):
So what do you mean? I've said it over and
over and over again. What does this one mean? Ryan, Dan?
Just don't go Roger Waters? Who's Roger Water?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
A known anti Semite? Who's the front known for a
band that you should know but you'd don't, apparently, and
that's Pink Floyd in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Well, it's I brought great that. I don't know how
n season anti semit, pretty Rach, I don't want to
know any anti Semit's good point, Okay, Dan, Trump's overrating
his party is eighty seven percent, which is ten percent
higher than Obama or Bush. I'd have to double check
those numbers. Dan, Good to hear you bragging again. What
does that mean?
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Maybe about your career covering these big legal cases in
the nineties, I.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Never stopped bragging. What does he mean? Good to hear
you bragging again? You got to listen more often, right,
Kevin and Boulder, Thanks to your patience, my friend, We're
getting back to the important stuff. Linda Ronstan, did you
cheat on Jerry Brown with you?
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Okay, just a guess.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
I lived in Phoenix for several decades, and Linda's brother
was two Sons chief of police for many years. When Linda,
before she got a record contract and was touring clubs,
she had a backing band called the Stone Ponies.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Wow, they pretty fit.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
She told them they were so good that they should
get their own band going. They've got their own band going,
and they changed the name from the Stone Ponies to.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
The Eagles.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, that's cool, man, that's a great story. That's a
great story. Hey, thank you for that. Linda Ronston. I
had mentioned when this first came up that I saw
her at Red Rocks and what an amazing show that was.
Look out your window there, Ryan, tell me that doesn't
look and it's not. By the way, it's not UFOs.
But tell me that doesn't look like three UFOs coming
(26:48):
right toward our building and it's not. See it right there. No,
they're not, they're not. It's a crane moving. Oh great, Yeah,
they're doing they're they're doing some work across the street.
And I look out the window, because I did look
out the window once that was at the different studio.
Looked out the window once and saw Air Force one
coming right by the building.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Now turned out it was just the plane. The President
wasn't on it, and they apparently were doing some altitude testing,
maybe some emergency maneuvers because they were not high over
two twenty five. But yeah, I look out the window
and here are these three bright lights, separated coming right
at the radio studio. But a crane. Do you believe
in UFOs?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
I'm an agnostic. I can't rule it out, and I
don't like having a closed mind going into something like that.
I am open to the evidence if it's going to
be presented to us. Barack Obama and Donald Trump, but
both had kind of interesting eye opening answers on that topic.
They weren't ruling it out.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
No, I wouldn't rule it out. God can do anything
God wants to do. Yeah, yeah, I'm just glad we're here.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
There are six intelligent elected officials whose intent was to
serve to send chaos in a new area. They are
each compromised a lah ken buck near the end of
his term to be mere puppets of the cabal that
has run this country for the last four years and
is intent on toppling the current administration because Trump cannot
be bought and will not comply with their socialist agenda.
(28:14):
That from the real Ralph. I don't think ken Buck
fits in this conversation at all. Ken Buck was a
tremendous conservative warrior for many, many years before whatever happened
at the end happened, and these six were talking about
none have ever been been that. But I am absolutely
(28:37):
transfixed on the question of why would they do it.
They had to know, right, didn't They have to know
the grave danger they'd be putting Trump in. They knew
they couldn't point to a single unlawful order. They used
the word unlawful, in my opinion, to give them legal cover.
So why do you think they did it? You're on
the dan Kapla Show, and.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Now back to the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Podcas asked, Yeah, she was so good, Linda Ronstad. I
was going to play a bite, but I'm not going
to play it over that well.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
I want to make clear the nightlight. When I start
playing a lot of songs by the same artists, people
make the correct assumption that the artist has passed away. No, No,
she had some health difficulties, some severe ones. I believe
Parkinson's No. How old is she She's seventy nine. No, yeah, yeah,
she's a year older than my dad.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I can't even picture that. I know, I cannot even
picture that.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It's it's a funny thing about life, right, and I
think for a reason. But she will always be the
age she was on the cover of her first big album. Yeah,
you know, and I bet she is that way inside and.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
A tremendous artist, that voice.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
But I mean just inside. I mean, if we had
that conversation before, you know, what age are you frozen at?
I know what age I'm frozen at. And to ourselves
almost everybody listening, we are still that age inside. We're
still that age in our minds. You're maybe wiser and smarter,
but we're still that age. We're not the chronological age.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
You're kind of like Trump Dan, I mean that in
the thank you You're kind of a miracle. I'm serious, Like,
physically you don't age. And it kind of makes me
envious because you've got all your hair, you know, thank
got good shape, You're gonna live through like one hundred
and twenty like your uncle's going to in Chicago. You
(30:26):
got good jeans.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Thank you, my sir, thank you. It's so Kindie you say,
and you know it does it for my uncle, the
Catholic priest in ninety three, still doing three masses, a
couple of funerals, a wedding a week.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
He's been on the show.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You know what it is. He's got the strongest immune
system in the world because of his job, because all
these years going all these hospitals. Ye going to visit
all these sick people, everything else.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Good point.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Unless he gets hit by a semi nothing's going to
get him, and praise God, he won't. He came out,
which goes back to one of the great stories about him.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
I believe he and William Shatner are almost the exact
same age. Yeah, like ninety three, right, Yeah, okay, I've
heard them both interviewed and fairly recently. Your uncle by
you is like, there's no way this guy's ninety three. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well, I'm going to save that tape. You will have
made his day by saying that. And we're staying together
at Christmas, so that'll be nice. Yeah, well, I will
play him that tape. Thank you, Dan, says the Texter.
Good to see you bragging again is facetious. Okay, well,
thank you for clearing that up. Yeah, I appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That brings me to another topic. We don't talk about
sports on air except when it transcends sports. I'd like
to give some unsolicited, unwanted advice to somebody I really
like and respect who will never hear this advice and
wouldn't care if he did. But that is Shador Sanders.
I think he is a phenomenal quarterback talent. I think
(31:51):
he's also likely, I don't know him personally, a very
good guy, tough guy. I'm a fan. I want to
see him do well. I think he was probably the
best quarterback available in that last draft and I think
he showed that on the field yesterday. And I think
(32:13):
he will be very quickly a top quarterback in this league.
But my fear for him is that and I don't
know whether it's an act, whether it's whatever it is,
but and I have no doubt he actually has this
confidence he conveys. My fear for him is that by
conveying all of this very admirable self confidence, and we
(32:36):
all need that, right, we all need that in life
and as certain professions, so you better have it. And
I'm glad he has it. But then the question is
how you convey that now he conveys it through his play,
and that's why I think we saw so much great
legendary play in Boulder from him, especially in crunch time.
We saw it yesterday Cleveland against the Raiders, who have
(32:59):
a very good defense. It's the only thing that's good there.
But they got it in Oakland or now Vegas. But
all I'm saying is I am afraid that this admirable
confidence that shad Or has, if he keeps conveying at
the way he does publicly, it's going to limit his opportunities.
Well that's why he fell in the draft. Yeah, clearly
(33:21):
it wasn't his ability. He's got a ton of ability
and proven toughness. But did you see some of his
postgame comments. I didn't see the comments. I saw that
he played extreme play and he made he made throws
very few people control. And so he's got it all.
He has got it all. But I just hope that
(33:41):
and he he won't. I mean, this is who he
is and that's the way he's going to be. God
love him. I just hope that it doesn't stop him
from getting the on field opportunities he should have.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
And might say a very familiar example. His dad was
the exact same way at that exact same age as
over time. That's true, he played cornerback. Yeah, it's more
lends itself more to that cockiness aspect on the best,
and he was the best.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Dean was to me thousand percent that the quarterback yeah different.
I think the quarterback, right, I think the quarterback yeah,
just has to It's a different position and it's got
to be less me and I love the confidence he has.
(34:25):
But in that position, yeah, and I as long as
he gets the opportunity on the field, he's going to shine.
So I just I just hope he gets that opportunity
on the field, and I'm afraid that that approach is
going to make that less likely anyway. Tremendous job, Brian,
Thank you, And tomorrow we're going to do the whole
(34:46):
deep dive on the issue of Poplio's comments on American
immigration policy that the nation has a right to control
its borders but treating people with dignity, well, deep dive
that you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
