President Trump blames Trump Derangement Syndrome for Rob Reiner's murder in a tasteless Truth Social post, callers and texters debate Dan on whether it's disqualifying for the President to engage in such behavior - but we've all been here before, and Trump's achievements in the Oval Office far outweigh his lack of tact or good manners in the public sphere, according to Dan.

Speaker 1 (00:00):

single day on your favorite podcast platform. And I love
shows like today. Glad you're here at three O three
seven one three eight two five five the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine. There's just
(00:23):
so many interesting things going on right now, phone lines exploding,
text on fuego and Ryan, you tell me you were
telling me during the break. I may be the only
talk show host in Denver now at least iHeart who
takes calls.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
That is correct until I go to the mornings, and
then I'm going to follow the Dan Caplis model.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Has that been announced? I guess it has been now.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, I'm going to the mornings. That'll start for good
on Monday, January five. I'll still be a part of
this program from four to six, ps you will. The
plan for two to four is TBD as I know.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It right now. But that's where we're going with all.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Of that, is that a rapper TBD could be two
to four. That could be interesting programming. Yeah, three all
three someone three A two five five texts d A
N five seven seven three nine. I will not say
I told you so. But when this really prime slot
opened up, I mean mornings and six thirty kitsch w Denver,
that's prime radio territory, I predicted immediately it would be
(01:20):
young Ryan Shuling since he is the rising star and
iHeart right now. So congratulations, my friend. That's appreciate a big,
big gig and you're gonna kill it. Three all three
someone three eight two five five d A N five
seven seven three nine. Here's what we got. Go and
jump in on anything or all of it. We're talking
about Tina Peters. President Trump very strong words for Governor
(01:41):
Polis this afternoon. Clearly Colorado is is going to lose
a lot the longer police insists on keeping Tina Peters
in jail. I believe she was rightfully charged and convicted,
but that it's unjust to keep her in jail at
this point, and the left unless Tina Peters bends the
(02:04):
knee and speaks what the left wants it to speak,
she is not going to be released from jail, is
the current appearance. So President Trump will get you those comments.
Shortly President Trump very harsh things to say about Rob
Reiner after he and his wife were brutally murdered apparently
by their son in Los Angeles. And so I think
(02:27):
he was wrong to post that tweet. Want to get
your take on it. And then President Trump, who again?
And the reason I saw this qualifiering is it's important
because he is so important. He's been one of the
greatest presidents in American history at a time we needed
him most. But he has made some mistakes and he's
about to make another one, apparently by moving marijuana from
(02:52):
a schedule one to a schedule three. So we're also
talking about that. Let's go to the phone lines and
other unhappy customer Eric and Longmont. Thank you you're on
the Dan Kapla show. Yeah, hi Dan, How you doing man?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You are one of the biggest cucks I have ever heard.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
For Trump, Well, thank you for not inserting another word
in there, another letter. Pardon me it's now my friend.
Let me ask you what what I would what I
would really love to do is maybe elevate this a
few notches to an adult conversation. But if you want
to just name call throughout any name you want to
We'll give you a couple of minutes. I mean.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
That.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, yeah, I did you get that?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Is he still with us? He's there.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He's really angry though, Eric, I don't even know that
we're back in the area.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's ten seconds. They might just be coming back in.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
If if you're just rejoining us. What Ryan had hit
the dump button? Because Eric used a couple of Oh
there very few words left that cannot be set on air,
but he used them all. Those are some magic ones there,
used them all. And what I wanted to do is
I'd wanted to start by defining kok because I think
(04:12):
a lot of people in the audience may not know
right what that word is.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Is that one can? That's fine? But then he took
the bait and want rambo on you.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, yes, I don't know that there was any bait,
just a very angry person. And so I would have
loved to have had that conversation with him because of
what I don't understand is that depth of anger toward
President Trump. I just don't understand it. But it does
go to a broader issue, which is not the topic
this afternoon. But the reason the Republicans are are going
(04:49):
to lose big in the midterms, and it hurts me
to say that it's going to be bad for the nation.
It's going to to a certain extent bogged down the
last two years of the Trump presidency. Well be another
bogus impeachment of him, etc. All the investigations. But there
is so much pent up anger on the left toward
(05:10):
Trump that I think it's going to carry the left
in the mid terms. Particularly sense it's like with any
other great thing in life. It's a funny thing about
human nature, right, and there are some wonderful people out
there who rise above it. But there's this tendency in
human nature, I think, to not fully appreciate what we have.
(05:33):
And it's strange in the sense that it's almost as
if the better it is, the greater it is, the
less it's appreciated over time. And I think that's the
case with President Trump. Is Yeah, he's got this strong personality,
often hilarious, but sometimes just flat wrong, like today ripping
(05:56):
Rob Reiner shortly after he's been apparently hacked to death
by his drug ed old son, along with his wife
being hecked. Today's no, that's wrong, that tweet is absolutely wrong,
but He's done so many historically great things. Yet we
head into these midterms and there is zero chance no
(06:17):
matter how much the president asks that you're going to
see the kind of explosive turnout for Republicans in midterms
that fortunately we saw for Trump and twenty four, the
twenty twenty four presidential And on the other hand, the Democrats,
they've got all this pent up anger and aggression and
that just gets worse every time Trump has another achievement,
(06:40):
which means it's spiraling at this point, because Trump is
achieving a lot and you can see it or hear
it in that call we just got. But that's going
to manifest in the midterms, and I think it's going
to be a thumping. I mean, we want to try
to mitigate the damage as much as we can. And
you know me, Ryan, I'm the eternal optimist. I'm always
looking for that silver line, always looking for that see
(07:02):
that way to win, because the story of American history
has been finding that scene, pulling off the long shot win,
you know, when when you're on the right side of
history as we are here. But these midterms I think
are going to be bad.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh you think that, alrighty?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And now what if the economy turns around to hell.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
We were already seeing gasoline around here go under two
dollars a gallon in some places.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Hey, listen, I think the economy is much better right
now than the left is making it out to be.
But does that mean that people aren't feeling the high prices.
Of course they are. But the high prices, as you know,
the high prices go back to Joe Biden. They go
back to that massive inflation under Joe Biden. Trump, I
think overall is doing a tremendous job with the economy.
(07:49):
Maybe not always messaging, you know, the the understanding of
the stress still on people over affordability issues, but I
think he's doing a tremendous job overall with the economy.
So Ryan, I mean, I understand your point that by
the time we hit the midterms, people will have felt
(08:10):
the benefit of no tax on tips and many of
the other things Trump's doing. Yeah, maybe that does it.
I hope that does it. I just think when it
comes to midterms Trump voters, there's a significant percentage of
Trump voters who only turn out for President Trump. We've
(08:30):
got to acknowledge that now, right, what would you put
that percentage at.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Percentage that turn out for him when he's only only Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Oh, it's pretty high.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's a lot higher than we would like it to be,
for sure. And on races that are often decided not
in Colorado but other places on thin margins, those are
difference makers, congressional races, Senate races. So you know, just
believe in being honest and realistic, understand the truth of
the landscape, then find a way to win against all odds.
(09:01):
I think that's the situation we're in right now. I
hope I'm wrong. Three or three someone three eight two
five five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
That doesn't mean that President Trump has been any less
effective or is going to go down as any less
of a president in history. I'm just trying to be
(09:23):
realistic about, you know, turnout in the midterms. That's all
three L three seOne three eight two five five the
number text or dan. I don't agree with Trump's tweet, However,
I'm not giving up my support.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Eerie.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Mike must be a lonely human if is logic to
give up all over a small disagreement and not look
at the big picture. Exactly what I was saying, which
is say, with any human you take the good with
the bad, and the good with Trump massively outweighs the bad.
Congrats Ryan for the Morning Show. Yeah, that is very
deserving of congratulations. Dan. Trump had a long line of
(10:01):
military officers behind him while he attacked Poulis. Thank god
the military is ready to act on Trump orders, Trump's orders.
Listen that the military loves President Trump as the military should.
I mean, what a great commander in chief. And you
know what the true litmus test was there. Trump was
willing to put a target on his own back, which
(10:22):
he did when he took out Solomoney. He took out
Solomony largely to protect our troops because that's who Solomoni
was targeting. So for a president to show he's willing
to die for the troops or at least dramatically increase
the risk that he will be killed, and he's willing
to do that in order to protect the troops, Yeah,
(10:42):
I think well deserved. Trump's massive support for the military,
which you could see at the Army Navy game this
weekend as well. I think we have some sound of
that when we come back to all start by playing
the sound came out late this afternoon, President Trump going
after Governor Polus over Tina Peters. You're on the Dan.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Kapla Show, and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Thanks you with the kids jingle belling and everyone telling
you be a good scene.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
Never too early to start the Christmas carols. If you
just joined us, I appreciate that. It's a fascinating day.
We have so many interesting things going on. We've got,
of course, the ongoing Tina Peters issue with the President
coming out late this afternoon, very strong comments about Governor Polis.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'll play those now. And then we have Rob Reiner,
the horrific murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, apparently
by their drug addult son. And what a tragedy that
is on every level right which ties into another issue,
which is President Trump, who's been historically great about to
make a historically big mistake reclassifying marijuana from Schedule one
(11:47):
to Schedule three, which is going to lead to just
more harm and devastation because I don't care how good
parents are. You can have the best parents in the
world from any walk of life, and if their kid,
you know, they're weighing into drugs. Sometimes it only takes one.
Those chemicals are so strong. At that point, you just
have lives ruined in so many different ways. So getting
(12:09):
your taken all that. And then President Trump had sent
out a very critical tweet of Rob Reiner, you know,
following the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle,
A tweet that I'll find time to read again. I
think it was a mistake getting your take on that
all right, Before we go back to the text that
squeeze in some calls, we'll start in Lakewood, Colorado with Michael.
(12:33):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Welcome, Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call and calling
about the Trump tweet. When first, I'm a conservative, and
when that happened to Rob Riders, unlike the left, we
don't rejoice in it. I was really sad. I couldn't
stand Reiner. But I dropped on my knees and I
(12:54):
said some prayers for him and his wife. It felt terrible.
And and then I read Trump's tweet and it started
out pretty good, and then it kind of evolved. Yeah,
I didn't like where I didn't feel good about it, right,
And then I started thinking later, I was like, what
these people said about Charlie Kirk and the tweets they
(13:16):
made and stuff. Then I was something like, well, then
I didn't feel so bad about Trump's tweeting. I just
felt so bad what they did to Charlie Kirk. And
I don't know, I'm not on their team, but yeah,
I don't rejoice and when stuff like that happened.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, and you're right, not too. You know Rob Reiner
who said the most terrific things about Trump flat out
lies in my opinion, as well as just venomous, very personal,
unfair things. But but Rob Reiner moren's the loss of
Charlie Kirk. When Charlie Kirk was killed, he denounced that.
(13:54):
And so I'll play that sound for you as well.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah, no, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Thank you, Michael, really appreciate your call and appreciate your
thoughts on that. Let me do two things. I want
to go ahead and read to you the tweet that
President Trump put out. It was actually a true social post,
and then we will play Rob Reiner's comments after the
murder of Charlie Kirk. This is President Trump. A very
(14:20):
sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a
tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director and
comedy star has passed away together with his wife Michelle,
reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive,
unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known
as Trump derangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. He
(14:43):
was known to have driven people crazy by his raging
obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia
reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals
and expectations of greatness and with the Golden Age of
America upon us perhaps like never before. May Rob and
Michelle rest in peace. So again, I'm a Trump fan,
(15:08):
but to me, that was wrong on multiple levels. And
here's what Rob Reiner had to say after the assassination
of Charlie Kirk. You first heard about the murder of
Charlie Kirk, what was your immediate gut reaction today?
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Well, horror, absolute horror, And I unfortunately saw the video
of it, and it's beyond belief what happened to him,
and that's had never happened to anybody. I don't care
what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not
(15:48):
a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what
his wife said at the service, that the memorial they
had was exactly right and totally I believe, you know,
I'm Jewish, but I believe in the teachings of Jesus,
and I believe in doing to others, and I believe
(16:10):
in forgiveness. And what she said to me was beautiful
and absolutely you know what she forgave his assassin, and
I think that that is admirable.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, well said there by Rob Reiner. Let's go to
southern Colorado. Talk to Mike. You're on the Dan Kaplas.
She'll welcome Mike.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Hey, Dan, how are you doing, sir?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Living the dream?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
My friend?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Oh yeah, A couple of things Trump's tweet. I don't
agree with everything the president does or says. Keep your
personal thoughts to yourself. It's wrong of anybody. I'm in
law enforcement. Happen for almost fifty years. It's wrong anybody
being killed in that manner, you know, by a knife,
(16:57):
a gun, you know whatever. It's just wrong and it
shouldn't be involved in that tweet. And I wish Trump
would calm down on his tweets a little bit and
just you stick to the best thing he's doing, which
is running this country. I believe he's doing a great job,
like you do. Keena Peters. Real quick, I've seen people
(17:19):
get less time for vehicular homicide or aggravated battery to
a police officer. I mean a lot less time role poration.
It's sickening to see what she got. Did she do wrong, Yes,
they found her guilty. She needs to be punished, but
that's successive in my book, there's a lot of political
(17:41):
overtones in that completely. So I just had a voice that,
like I said, love hearing your take on everything in between.
You're not right, you're not left. You're voicing your opinion,
which you have a right to do like everyone else.
And some of those callers tonight you've had a kind
of discussed me at the attitude and the aggressiveness they're
(18:05):
taking in this matter.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Well, Mike, thank you for your great call. Really appreciate
your fifty years of service and hope we hear from
you often when we come back. I'll play that sound
of President Trump very critical of Governor Polus today will
dive back into the Tina Peters issue, and yeah, Polus
cut the mass killing Trucker sentenced to about the same
length as Tina Peters.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I make a special question. I'm so glad you're into
Christmas Carols now. Young Ryan Shuling, by the way, who
was just offered the prime gig in Denver, six thirty KHW,
great station in Denver, the Morning Show. So congratulations to Ryan.
He's going to stay involved with our program, which we're
certainly very happy about. We're not sure he'll be awake,
(18:53):
but just having you here, just having you here will
add to the aura. The ampis the vibe three or
three someone three eight, two, five of the number. Congrats
to the Broncos. That was a playoff like win yesterday, Yes,
and a great thing to see. And Boe Nix obviously
the real deal and best ownership in all of sports.
So all of the NFL with the Waltons and so
(19:18):
many good things to come there for a very long time. Hey,
if you just joined us, thank you. Sorry, I've still
got this stuff up my nose, which is weird because
I get like one coldier. Thank you Lord. And it
hit an hour after closing arguments in our last trial,
and I feel great, but I just can't get whatever
this is out of my snout. So sorry about that.
(19:40):
Appreciate you bearing with it. Got a few things going on.
One is I'll play the sound now Governor Polis going
hard at President Trump. Pardon me going hard at Governor
Polus today over Tina Peters. Now, this is after you know,
the administration has launched a couple of different investigations against Colorado,
and and you can be sure and both investigations fine,
(20:03):
you know, investigate those things, and I think they should
be certainly the Colorado voter roles as well as DOJ
overall treatment of prisoners. That's fine. I have the investigations,
and I assure a SEK want Colorado's voter roles to
be as clean as possible. And Ryan, really, could anybody,
anybody honest and sensible, have any confidence whatsoever in Jenni
Griswold answer a resounding no. I would have confidence in
(20:27):
every other Secretary of State in my long many decades
in Colorado, Democrat or Republican. I would have confidence in them.
But who in the right mind could have confidence in
Jennick Griswold. Now that doesn't mean Colorado elections are not clean.
I think Ordo, Colorado, that's how you say that word, right,
Colorado Bingo. I think elections are in general clean and reliable.
(20:52):
We should have zero fraud and when we should continue
to clean things up. But they're not clean and reliable
in my opinion because of don A Griswold Nobody. That's
an irony here, right is You've got Tina Peters, who,
in my view, committed a crime, was rightfully charged, justly convicted,
but now unjustly serving a way too long sentence. Governor
(21:14):
Polis won't let her out, not because of the nature
of the crime, which was a victimless crime in the end,
but because of her words, her speech, because she says
the election was stolen. Now I disagree with that speech,
but she shouldn't be in prison over it. So this
is the battle now between the White House and Polis.
(21:34):
And what does Colorado get out of this? I mean
Polis gets the satisfaction and think of the cruelty just
on a human level involved. But you can see not
Democrats in general, but you can see how the left
that owns and operates the Democratic Party. They are so
cruel by nature, it's just baked into what they do
to their very policy positions that are so often cruel
(21:56):
in so many ways, starting with the mass killing of
children before or birth and then extending beyond birth for
those who do survive. But this is just cruelty. I mean,
what percentage of the Colorado prison population would you guess
is seventy years or older? What would you guess? Ryan, Well,
five percent? Yeah, I actually look that up today. In
(22:19):
the entire Colorado prison population, how many people would you
guess they are seventy years old or older? One hundred
and eleven, two hundred and thirty, one point four percent.
And I'm sure that it was four percent than that
one point four percent. I was high five percent. Yeah,
And now that's you know that these aren't final numbers,
(22:39):
but I'm trying to obtain, Okay, what the others seventy
plus who are in what are they in for? My
guess is they're not in for victimless crimes? And listen,
this crime matters. You know, you've got to protect our
election integrity. You have to protect our systems. You can't
grant on authorized access. You can't use a phony ida
to do it the wrong idea do it. You can't
(23:00):
turn off video cameras to do it. That's wrong. It's
a crime prosecuted convict. That's fine. But then in terms
of incarceration in the left, Polus in the left are
so opposed to incarceration. We've got an Attorney general who's
on record is saying car thieves. Yeah, maybe three or
four in three months. Then you put him in jail
and Polis and this goes to a Texter who I
(23:21):
don't understand. I hope you call the show. Dan would
like to hear a better comparison for Peters than quote,
mass killing trucker. How can you get a better comparison?
Jared Polus will not reduce Tina petersons. He won't free
Tina Peters. Yet he took a mass killing trucker who
burned five Colorados alive on the highway, not through an accident.
(23:44):
That's why the jury convicted him a murder, a vegular homicide,
multiple counts. Because he knew his brakes were bad. He
got out of the truck. He knew they were bad.
He saw him smoking. His own company told him not
to get back in. He did it anyway. He chose to.
I buy a runaway truck ramp he chose not to
drive the vehicle into a ditch but instead straight into
(24:06):
the back of stopped rush hour traffic in the Denver area.
And that's the guy. He goes through a jury trial,
the judge sentences him to one hundred years under Colorado law,
Polis arbitrarily reduces the sentence by ninety percent. The guy
will be out in at this point two years. Maybe, Yeah,
(24:26):
I think that's a great comparison. Why would police do that,
but then let Tina Peters languish for a victimless crime. Again,
should have been convicted. That's important, important statement. But nobody
was hurt by this crime. And your own secretary of State,
well you can say, well, Tina Peter's crime it exposed
some BIOS passwords because some photographs were taken during the
(24:48):
unother ied access and they've reflected bios passwords. Jenna Griswold,
the Secretary of State, she exposed how many bios passwords
which were exposed online for months? Yeah, now this is
I believe in the end, it's Tina. The reason Polis
is keeping Tina Peters in jail is because of her speech,
(25:11):
and I disagree with her claim the election was stolen
but she shouldn't be in jail because of that speech.
And how much is Polis willing to have Colorado suffer
because the president of the United States is in a
position to decide where an awful lot of money goes,
and a lot of other things that can affect Colorado. Yeah, yeah,
but I still predict Ryan. I know it's against all
(25:32):
odds a police will eventually commute that sentence, this one.
Dan Trump is turning a whole lot of his supporters
off with his bad messaging and really stupid statements. It's
going to keep a lot of his supporters from voting
in the mid terms. That goes on from there. Listen,
with President Trump, we've all known since twenty sixteen, it's
like any other you mean, you take the good with
(25:53):
the bad. It's like your wife with you, my wife
with me, all of us, with all of us, we
take the good with bad. And with President Trump, the
good so far outweighs the bad. It's not even a
close call in terms of support. So this is just
part of any human process, any human life. And yeah,
I think his text about Rob Reiner's the murder of
(26:15):
Rob Reiner and his wife, I think that text is
did I say text, pardon me tweet? Social post was terrible,
should not have been done. I think President Trump is
probably as happy with this, this social media post as
he's been with anything he's ever posted in his life.
(26:35):
And he's a very very smart man, and he understands
and he understood before he said it the outrage he
was going to cause with it. I think he is
very very happy with it and with the reaction. When
we come back up, tell you why I think that's
the case. But I want to get your take on this,
and I'll play this sound also of President Trump going
after Polis. This afternoon, you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
And now back to the Day Tampla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Wow, I was gonna I was gonna play the sound
of President Trump, I mean, frying polist, but not over
that bump. So yeah, we'll separate that out.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
A little bit. It's your favorite Christmas song then.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
If we're talking, if we're talking religious, Silent Night.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I know that for a fact though, as I've worked
with you over these years, that one of your all
time favorites, if not at the top of the list,
along with the one you just said, Oh Holy Night
by Carrie Underwood.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Oh my goodness, that is so great. Yeah, and particularly
the Carrie Underwood version memory.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
If we're talking just pop songs, it would be uh,
it would be what do they call that song? It's
cold out there? You know, maybe it's cold out, maybe
it's cold. It's a controversial one Dan controversial. Oh yeah,
he's spiking or drink trying to get her to not
go home, if you know what I mean. There's no
drink spiking in that.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Well.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think it's a song almost everybody and relate to
can you you've tried to apply a girl to know.
That's not what that played that song, that's not what
that song is aboutut R. She's like, oh no, please
play that song somewhere. Let me play the trump sound first.
But no, Ryan, never ever, ever, not in a million years.
Speaker 9 (28:19):
There run state of Colorado with a governor who's incompetent
and frankly, with a governor that won't allow our wonderful
Tina to come out of a jail, in a high
intensity jail because she caught people cheating on an election
and they said she was cheating.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
She wasn't cheating.
Speaker 9 (28:39):
She went over, she looked at one of the election
scams going on, and because she did that, they put
her in jail for nine years. The governor of Colorado
is a weak and pathetic man who was run by
Trenda Arragua, the criminals from Venez. Well, it took over
(29:00):
sections of Colorado, and he was afraid to do anything.
But he put Tina in jail for nine years because
she got people cheating, and when she walked over and
got involved in it, they said she was cheaerd.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
She wasn't cheating.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
She caught people cheating on the election twenty twenty, along
with a lot of other people that cheated on that election.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
You'll see that coming out more and more. Listen.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I agree with President Trump that this incarceration at this
point is unjust. I believe Tina Peter is committed a crime,
she was rightfully charged, she was justly convicted, But the
idea of incarcerating her, incarcerating her still I think is
fundamentally unjust, and Polis should commute her sentence and freer.
I think the reason he doesn't is purely political, purely
(29:46):
her speech which he disagrees with, and I think that's wrong,
and I think Trump has made it very clear that
Colorado is going to pay the price for that, and
I think Polis at this point very happy to have
Coloradin's pay a price so he can keep Tina Peters
in jail. That's my take on that. The rest of it,
the President's claims about what happened. I broke that down
(30:08):
in detail earlier. I have some disagreements there with the President,
but I do agree with him that Tina Peters should
not continue to sit in jail. Ryan, could you play
this song? I've never understood it the way you do.
One moment I biking drinks.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Well, oh yeah, then in the hold on it's it's there,
It's there, and I got it right here?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
No, that's right, neighbor's my whatts in this? And I
wish I?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You version of that song? I've ever heard version.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Least I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I trust.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
My probably really can't say.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Sorry, Ryan, that's the only bad version of this. I
think she does a wonderful Josh, who's this?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Have you seen the movie? Elf? Please know you?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Oh my god, damn, sorry, I've been busy.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
It was in two thousand and four, I've been busy.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
It was twenty one years people who were born the
year that movie came out can drink legally.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Now. I know that Joe's seen.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
It, I know I'm Caroline's seen it, and I'm pretty
sure Amy's seen it.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I bet they've seen it together. But but who did
that version? Because that's a terrible version of a great song.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I heard Zoey Deschanel and Leon Redbon.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Who nobody's heard of, but I will tell you that. Yeah,
for the first time I heard a reference to what's
in this drink? No, obviously nobody would ever support that
if that's what it's talking about. I always thought the
song was talking about, Hey, you know, it's cold outside,
we're having a drink. The guy wants to her to stay,
he's not sure, and that she's having a drink. I
(32:03):
never picked up anything suggesting anything putting.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
The drink, suggesting that that would be something that young
Ryan would have done, you know, and they put something
in a drink, no, to try to persuade a young
lady to stay, not risk going out into the cold.
But you know, yeah, I would be romantic ulterior motives dance.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
No, no, no, wait a second, yes, I think everybody
listening can remember something like that. In a very positive
I can remember it when Amy and I were dating.
It's bitter cold outside and you know we're in love
and and uh yeah, okay, so you got a choice.
You can go freeze your blank off scraping off the car,
(32:47):
you make a good point, or you spend some more
time cuddled up on the couch watching something Netflix. No. No,
but but any suggestion about any kind of duress or
spiking a drink for anything else I never picked up.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I mustn't spiking, but maybe making it a little bit
stronger than the normally would be, which I do.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah for myself.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah. So anyway, anyway, I still think it's a great
song because I don't write any of that sense into it.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
But I'm just saying it was.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
They were banning it from radio stations nationwide a few
years ago.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Dan, I have to remember this.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
We were talking about it well, but but I didn't
think it actually got banned. I think where we landed
is that there wasn't.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
There was a hold back from people like us that
are like, wait a minute, a fun song is a
traditional song.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Yeah? No, exactly, Wow, Hey, George Brockler, in tomorrow, that'll
be fun.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
And I want to make sure that people know as well.
Victor Marx will be joining me at eight a m.
Tomorrow and six point thirty KL locally here in Denver.
That will reair at two pm. I'll be listening on
the programs. I'll be listening, all right, Yeah, no, that
that'll be a great conversation.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
I know.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I enjoyed we had an hour with Victor and his
wife studio as well. I believe we'll see that's impressive.
I will definitely make it a point to listen.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Wow, he is.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
The only one of six major candidates invited to a
welled county debate hosted by Sheriff Steve Reims, who declined
to attend and declined the invitation.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Well, you know, I like the fact he's coming on
with you, yep, and that you guys are going to
have that conversation. I will make it a point to
listen for sure. And this is obviously not over between
the governor and President Trump regarding Tina Peters, so we'll
continue to follow that very closely. And Fellow called the
show earlier asked me to read certain appellate briefs. I'd
(34:40):
read the Federal Court habeas stuff, but I'll take a
look at his briefs this afternoon. Thank you to everybody,
be safe out there, be careful and George Brockler tomorrow
on The Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Capless 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. And I love
shows like today. Glad you're here at three O three
seven one three eight two five five the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine. There's just
(00:23):
so many interesting things going on right now, phone lines exploding,
text on fuego and Ryan, you tell me you were
telling me during the break. I may be the only
talk show host in Denver now at least iHeart who
takes calls.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
That is correct until I go to the mornings, and
then I'm going to follow the Dan Caplis model.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Has that been announced? I guess it has been now.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, I'm going to the mornings. That'll start for good
on Monday, January five. I'll still be a part of
this program from four to six, ps you will. The
plan for two to four is TBD as I know.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It right now. But that's where we're going with all.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Of that, is that a rapper TBD could be two
to four. That could be interesting programming. Yeah, three all
three someone three A two five five texts d A
N five seven seven three nine. I will not say
I told you so. But when this really prime slot
opened up, I mean mornings and six thirty kitsch w Denver,
that's prime radio territory, I predicted immediately it would be
(01:20):
young Ryan Shuling since he is the rising star and
iHeart right now. So congratulations, my friend. That's appreciate a big,
big gig and you're gonna kill it. Three all three
someone three eight two five five d A N five
seven seven three nine. Here's what we got. Go and
jump in on anything or all of it. We're talking
about Tina Peters. President Trump very strong words for Governor
(01:41):
Polis this afternoon. Clearly Colorado is is going to lose
a lot the longer police insists on keeping Tina Peters
in jail. I believe she was rightfully charged and convicted,
but that it's unjust to keep her in jail at
this point, and the left unless Tina Peters bends the
(02:04):
knee and speaks what the left wants it to speak,
she is not going to be released from jail, is
the current appearance. So President Trump will get you those comments.
Shortly President Trump very harsh things to say about Rob
Reiner after he and his wife were brutally murdered apparently
by their son in Los Angeles. And so I think
(02:27):
he was wrong to post that tweet. Want to get
your take on it. And then President Trump, who again?
And the reason I saw this qualifiering is it's important
because he is so important. He's been one of the
greatest presidents in American history at a time we needed
him most. But he has made some mistakes and he's
about to make another one, apparently by moving marijuana from
(02:52):
a schedule one to a schedule three. So we're also
talking about that. Let's go to the phone lines and
other unhappy customer Eric and Longmont. Thank you you're on
the Dan Kapla show. Yeah, hi Dan, How you doing man?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You are one of the biggest cucks I have ever heard.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
For Trump, Well, thank you for not inserting another word
in there, another letter. Pardon me it's now my friend.
Let me ask you what what I would what I
would really love to do is maybe elevate this a
few notches to an adult conversation. But if you want
to just name call throughout any name you want to
We'll give you a couple of minutes. I mean.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
That.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, yeah, I did you get that?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Is he still with us? He's there.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He's really angry though, Eric, I don't even know that
we're back in the area.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's ten seconds. They might just be coming back in.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
If if you're just rejoining us. What Ryan had hit
the dump button? Because Eric used a couple of Oh
there very few words left that cannot be set on air,
but he used them all. Those are some magic ones there,
used them all. And what I wanted to do is
I'd wanted to start by defining kok because I think
(04:12):
a lot of people in the audience may not know
right what that word is.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Is that one can? That's fine? But then he took
the bait and want rambo on you.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, yes, I don't know that there was any bait,
just a very angry person. And so I would have
loved to have had that conversation with him because of
what I don't understand is that depth of anger toward
President Trump. I just don't understand it. But it does
go to a broader issue, which is not the topic
this afternoon. But the reason the Republicans are are going
(04:49):
to lose big in the midterms, and it hurts me
to say that it's going to be bad for the nation.
It's going to to a certain extent bogged down the
last two years of the Trump presidency. Well be another
bogus impeachment of him, etc. All the investigations. But there
is so much pent up anger on the left toward
(05:10):
Trump that I think it's going to carry the left
in the mid terms. Particularly sense it's like with any
other great thing in life. It's a funny thing about
human nature, right, and there are some wonderful people out
there who rise above it. But there's this tendency in
human nature, I think, to not fully appreciate what we have.
(05:33):
And it's strange in the sense that it's almost as
if the better it is, the greater it is, the
less it's appreciated over time. And I think that's the
case with President Trump. Is Yeah, he's got this strong personality,
often hilarious, but sometimes just flat wrong, like today ripping
(05:56):
Rob Reiner shortly after he's been apparently hacked to death
by his drug ed old son, along with his wife
being hecked. Today's no, that's wrong, that tweet is absolutely wrong,
but He's done so many historically great things. Yet we
head into these midterms and there is zero chance no
(06:17):
matter how much the president asks that you're going to
see the kind of explosive turnout for Republicans in midterms
that fortunately we saw for Trump and twenty four, the
twenty twenty four presidential And on the other hand, the Democrats,
they've got all this pent up anger and aggression and
that just gets worse every time Trump has another achievement,
(06:40):
which means it's spiraling at this point, because Trump is
achieving a lot and you can see it or hear
it in that call we just got. But that's going
to manifest in the midterms, and I think it's going
to be a thumping. I mean, we want to try
to mitigate the damage as much as we can. And
you know me, Ryan, I'm the eternal optimist. I'm always
looking for that silver line, always looking for that see
(07:02):
that way to win, because the story of American history
has been finding that scene, pulling off the long shot win,
you know, when when you're on the right side of
history as we are here. But these midterms I think
are going to be bad.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh you think that, alrighty?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And now what if the economy turns around to hell.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
We were already seeing gasoline around here go under two
dollars a gallon in some places.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Hey, listen, I think the economy is much better right
now than the left is making it out to be.
But does that mean that people aren't feeling the high prices.
Of course they are. But the high prices, as you know,
the high prices go back to Joe Biden. They go
back to that massive inflation under Joe Biden. Trump, I
think overall is doing a tremendous job with the economy.
(07:49):
Maybe not always messaging, you know, the the understanding of
the stress still on people over affordability issues, but I
think he's doing a tremendous job overall with the economy.
So Ryan, I mean, I understand your point that by
the time we hit the midterms, people will have felt
(08:10):
the benefit of no tax on tips and many of
the other things Trump's doing. Yeah, maybe that does it.
I hope that does it. I just think when it
comes to midterms Trump voters, there's a significant percentage of
Trump voters who only turn out for President Trump. We've
(08:30):
got to acknowledge that now, right, what would you put
that percentage at.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Percentage that turn out for him when he's only only Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Oh, it's pretty high.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's a lot higher than we would like it to be,
for sure. And on races that are often decided not
in Colorado but other places on thin margins, those are
difference makers, congressional races, Senate races. So you know, just
believe in being honest and realistic, understand the truth of
the landscape, then find a way to win against all odds.
(09:01):
I think that's the situation we're in right now. I
hope I'm wrong. Three or three someone three eight two
five five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
That doesn't mean that President Trump has been any less
effective or is going to go down as any less
of a president in history. I'm just trying to be
(09:23):
realistic about, you know, turnout in the midterms. That's all
three L three seOne three eight two five five the
number text or dan. I don't agree with Trump's tweet, However,
I'm not giving up my support.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Eerie.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Mike must be a lonely human if is logic to
give up all over a small disagreement and not look
at the big picture. Exactly what I was saying, which
is say, with any human you take the good with
the bad, and the good with Trump massively outweighs the bad.
Congrats Ryan for the Morning Show. Yeah, that is very
deserving of congratulations. Dan. Trump had a long line of
(10:01):
military officers behind him while he attacked Poulis. Thank god
the military is ready to act on Trump orders, Trump's orders.
Listen that the military loves President Trump as the military should.
I mean, what a great commander in chief. And you
know what the true litmus test was there. Trump was
willing to put a target on his own back, which
(10:22):
he did when he took out Solomoney. He took out
Solomony largely to protect our troops because that's who Solomoni
was targeting. So for a president to show he's willing
to die for the troops or at least dramatically increase
the risk that he will be killed, and he's willing
to do that in order to protect the troops, Yeah,
(10:42):
I think well deserved. Trump's massive support for the military,
which you could see at the Army Navy game this
weekend as well. I think we have some sound of
that when we come back to all start by playing
the sound came out late this afternoon, President Trump going
after Governor Polus over Tina Peters. You're on the Dan.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Kapla Show, and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Thanks you with the kids jingle belling and everyone telling
you be a good scene.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
Never too early to start the Christmas carols. If you
just joined us, I appreciate that. It's a fascinating day.
We have so many interesting things going on. We've got,
of course, the ongoing Tina Peters issue with the President
coming out late this afternoon, very strong comments about Governor Polis.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'll play those now. And then we have Rob Reiner,
the horrific murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, apparently
by their drug addult son. And what a tragedy that
is on every level right which ties into another issue,
which is President Trump, who's been historically great about to
make a historically big mistake reclassifying marijuana from Schedule one
(11:47):
to Schedule three, which is going to lead to just
more harm and devastation because I don't care how good
parents are. You can have the best parents in the
world from any walk of life, and if their kid,
you know, they're weighing into drugs. Sometimes it only takes one.
Those chemicals are so strong. At that point, you just
have lives ruined in so many different ways. So getting
(12:09):
your taken all that. And then President Trump had sent
out a very critical tweet of Rob Reiner, you know,
following the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle,
A tweet that I'll find time to read again. I
think it was a mistake getting your take on that
all right, Before we go back to the text that
squeeze in some calls, we'll start in Lakewood, Colorado with Michael.
(12:33):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Welcome, Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call and calling
about the Trump tweet. When first, I'm a conservative, and
when that happened to Rob Riders, unlike the left, we
don't rejoice in it. I was really sad. I couldn't
stand Reiner. But I dropped on my knees and I
(12:54):
said some prayers for him and his wife. It felt terrible.
And and then I read Trump's tweet and it started
out pretty good, and then it kind of evolved. Yeah,
I didn't like where I didn't feel good about it, right,
And then I started thinking later, I was like, what
these people said about Charlie Kirk and the tweets they
(13:16):
made and stuff. Then I was something like, well, then
I didn't feel so bad about Trump's tweeting. I just
felt so bad what they did to Charlie Kirk. And
I don't know, I'm not on their team, but yeah,
I don't rejoice and when stuff like that happened.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, and you're right, not too. You know Rob Reiner
who said the most terrific things about Trump flat out
lies in my opinion, as well as just venomous, very personal,
unfair things. But but Rob Reiner moren's the loss of
Charlie Kirk. When Charlie Kirk was killed, he denounced that.
(13:54):
And so I'll play that sound for you as well.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah, no, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Thank you, Michael, really appreciate your call and appreciate your
thoughts on that. Let me do two things. I want
to go ahead and read to you the tweet that
President Trump put out. It was actually a true social post,
and then we will play Rob Reiner's comments after the
murder of Charlie Kirk. This is President Trump. A very
(14:20):
sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a
tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director and
comedy star has passed away together with his wife Michelle,
reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive,
unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known
as Trump derangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. He
(14:43):
was known to have driven people crazy by his raging
obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia
reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals
and expectations of greatness and with the Golden Age of
America upon us perhaps like never before. May Rob and
Michelle rest in peace. So again, I'm a Trump fan,
(15:08):
but to me, that was wrong on multiple levels. And
here's what Rob Reiner had to say after the assassination
of Charlie Kirk. You first heard about the murder of
Charlie Kirk, what was your immediate gut reaction today?
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Well, horror, absolute horror, And I unfortunately saw the video
of it, and it's beyond belief what happened to him,
and that's had never happened to anybody. I don't care
what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not
(15:48):
a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what
his wife said at the service, that the memorial they
had was exactly right and totally I believe, you know,
I'm Jewish, but I believe in the teachings of Jesus,
and I believe in doing to others, and I believe
(16:10):
in forgiveness. And what she said to me was beautiful
and absolutely you know what she forgave his assassin, and
I think that that is admirable.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, well said there by Rob Reiner. Let's go to
southern Colorado. Talk to Mike. You're on the Dan Kaplas.
She'll welcome Mike.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Hey, Dan, how are you doing, sir?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Living the dream?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
My friend?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Oh yeah, A couple of things Trump's tweet. I don't
agree with everything the president does or says. Keep your
personal thoughts to yourself. It's wrong of anybody. I'm in
law enforcement. Happen for almost fifty years. It's wrong anybody
being killed in that manner, you know, by a knife,
(16:57):
a gun, you know whatever. It's just wrong and it
shouldn't be involved in that tweet. And I wish Trump
would calm down on his tweets a little bit and
just you stick to the best thing he's doing, which
is running this country. I believe he's doing a great job,
like you do. Keena Peters. Real quick, I've seen people
(17:19):
get less time for vehicular homicide or aggravated battery to
a police officer. I mean a lot less time role poration.
It's sickening to see what she got. Did she do wrong, Yes,
they found her guilty. She needs to be punished, but
that's successive in my book, there's a lot of political
(17:41):
overtones in that completely. So I just had a voice that,
like I said, love hearing your take on everything in between.
You're not right, you're not left. You're voicing your opinion,
which you have a right to do like everyone else.
And some of those callers tonight you've had a kind
of discussed me at the attitude and the aggressiveness they're
(18:05):
taking in this matter.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Well, Mike, thank you for your great call. Really appreciate
your fifty years of service and hope we hear from
you often when we come back. I'll play that sound
of President Trump very critical of Governor Polus today will
dive back into the Tina Peters issue, and yeah, Polus
cut the mass killing Trucker sentenced to about the same
length as Tina Peters.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I make a special question. I'm so glad you're into
Christmas Carols now. Young Ryan Shuling, by the way, who
was just offered the prime gig in Denver, six thirty KHW,
great station in Denver, the Morning Show. So congratulations to Ryan.
He's going to stay involved with our program, which we're
certainly very happy about. We're not sure he'll be awake,
(18:53):
but just having you here, just having you here will
add to the aura. The ampis the vibe three or
three someone three eight, two, five of the number. Congrats
to the Broncos. That was a playoff like win yesterday, Yes,
and a great thing to see. And Boe Nix obviously
the real deal and best ownership in all of sports.
So all of the NFL with the Waltons and so
(19:18):
many good things to come there for a very long time. Hey,
if you just joined us, thank you. Sorry, I've still
got this stuff up my nose, which is weird because
I get like one coldier. Thank you Lord. And it
hit an hour after closing arguments in our last trial,
and I feel great, but I just can't get whatever
this is out of my snout. So sorry about that.
(19:40):
Appreciate you bearing with it. Got a few things going on.
One is I'll play the sound now Governor Polis going
hard at President Trump. Pardon me going hard at Governor
Polus today over Tina Peters. Now, this is after you know,
the administration has launched a couple of different investigations against Colorado,
and and you can be sure and both investigations fine,
(20:03):
you know, investigate those things, and I think they should
be certainly the Colorado voter roles as well as DOJ
overall treatment of prisoners. That's fine. I have the investigations,
and I assure a SEK want Colorado's voter roles to
be as clean as possible. And Ryan, really, could anybody,
anybody honest and sensible, have any confidence whatsoever in Jenni
Griswold answer a resounding no. I would have confidence in
(20:27):
every other Secretary of State in my long many decades
in Colorado, Democrat or Republican. I would have confidence in them.
But who in the right mind could have confidence in
Jennick Griswold. Now that doesn't mean Colorado elections are not clean.
I think Ordo, Colorado, that's how you say that word, right,
Colorado Bingo. I think elections are in general clean and reliable.
(20:52):
We should have zero fraud and when we should continue
to clean things up. But they're not clean and reliable
in my opinion because of don A Griswold Nobody. That's
an irony here, right is You've got Tina Peters, who,
in my view, committed a crime, was rightfully charged, justly convicted,
but now unjustly serving a way too long sentence. Governor
(21:14):
Polis won't let her out, not because of the nature
of the crime, which was a victimless crime in the end,
but because of her words, her speech, because she says
the election was stolen. Now I disagree with that speech,
but she shouldn't be in prison over it. So this
is the battle now between the White House and Polis.
(21:34):
And what does Colorado get out of this? I mean
Polis gets the satisfaction and think of the cruelty just
on a human level involved. But you can see not
Democrats in general, but you can see how the left
that owns and operates the Democratic Party. They are so
cruel by nature, it's just baked into what they do
to their very policy positions that are so often cruel
(21:56):
in so many ways, starting with the mass killing of
children before or birth and then extending beyond birth for
those who do survive. But this is just cruelty. I mean,
what percentage of the Colorado prison population would you guess
is seventy years or older? What would you guess? Ryan, Well,
five percent? Yeah, I actually look that up today. In
(22:19):
the entire Colorado prison population, how many people would you
guess they are seventy years old or older? One hundred
and eleven, two hundred and thirty, one point four percent.
And I'm sure that it was four percent than that
one point four percent. I was high five percent. Yeah,
And now that's you know that these aren't final numbers,
(22:39):
but I'm trying to obtain, Okay, what the others seventy
plus who are in what are they in for? My
guess is they're not in for victimless crimes? And listen,
this crime matters. You know, you've got to protect our
election integrity. You have to protect our systems. You can't
grant on authorized access. You can't use a phony ida
to do it the wrong idea do it. You can't
(23:00):
turn off video cameras to do it. That's wrong. It's
a crime prosecuted convict. That's fine. But then in terms
of incarceration in the left, Polus in the left are
so opposed to incarceration. We've got an Attorney general who's
on record is saying car thieves. Yeah, maybe three or
four in three months. Then you put him in jail
and Polis and this goes to a Texter who I
(23:21):
don't understand. I hope you call the show. Dan would
like to hear a better comparison for Peters than quote,
mass killing trucker. How can you get a better comparison?
Jared Polus will not reduce Tina petersons. He won't free
Tina Peters. Yet he took a mass killing trucker who
burned five Colorados alive on the highway, not through an accident.
(23:44):
That's why the jury convicted him a murder, a vegular homicide,
multiple counts. Because he knew his brakes were bad. He
got out of the truck. He knew they were bad.
He saw him smoking. His own company told him not
to get back in. He did it anyway. He chose to.
I buy a runaway truck ramp he chose not to
drive the vehicle into a ditch but instead straight into
(24:06):
the back of stopped rush hour traffic in the Denver area.
And that's the guy. He goes through a jury trial,
the judge sentences him to one hundred years under Colorado law,
Polis arbitrarily reduces the sentence by ninety percent. The guy
will be out in at this point two years. Maybe, Yeah,
(24:26):
I think that's a great comparison. Why would police do that,
but then let Tina Peters languish for a victimless crime. Again,
should have been convicted. That's important, important statement. But nobody
was hurt by this crime. And your own secretary of State,
well you can say, well, Tina Peter's crime it exposed
some BIOS passwords because some photographs were taken during the
(24:48):
unother ied access and they've reflected bios passwords. Jenna Griswold,
the Secretary of State, she exposed how many bios passwords
which were exposed online for months? Yeah, now this is
I believe in the end, it's Tina. The reason Polis
is keeping Tina Peters in jail is because of her speech,
(25:11):
and I disagree with her claim the election was stolen
but she shouldn't be in jail because of that speech.
And how much is Polis willing to have Colorado suffer
because the president of the United States is in a
position to decide where an awful lot of money goes,
and a lot of other things that can affect Colorado. Yeah, yeah,
but I still predict Ryan. I know it's against all
(25:32):
odds a police will eventually commute that sentence, this one.
Dan Trump is turning a whole lot of his supporters
off with his bad messaging and really stupid statements. It's
going to keep a lot of his supporters from voting
in the mid terms. That goes on from there. Listen,
with President Trump, we've all known since twenty sixteen, it's
like any other you mean, you take the good with
(25:53):
the bad. It's like your wife with you, my wife
with me, all of us, with all of us, we
take the good with bad. And with President Trump, the
good so far outweighs the bad. It's not even a
close call in terms of support. So this is just
part of any human process, any human life. And yeah,
I think his text about Rob Reiner's the murder of
(26:15):
Rob Reiner and his wife, I think that text is
did I say text, pardon me tweet? Social post was terrible,
should not have been done. I think President Trump is
probably as happy with this, this social media post as
he's been with anything he's ever posted in his life.
(26:35):
And he's a very very smart man, and he understands
and he understood before he said it the outrage he
was going to cause with it. I think he is
very very happy with it and with the reaction. When
we come back up, tell you why I think that's
the case. But I want to get your take on this,
and I'll play this sound also of President Trump going
after Polis. This afternoon, you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
And now back to the Day Tampla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Wow, I was gonna I was gonna play the sound
of President Trump, I mean, frying polist, but not over
that bump. So yeah, we'll separate that out.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
A little bit. It's your favorite Christmas song then.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
If we're talking, if we're talking religious, Silent Night.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I know that for a fact though, as I've worked
with you over these years, that one of your all
time favorites, if not at the top of the list,
along with the one you just said, Oh Holy Night
by Carrie Underwood.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Oh my goodness, that is so great. Yeah, and particularly
the Carrie Underwood version memory.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
If we're talking just pop songs, it would be uh,
it would be what do they call that song? It's
cold out there? You know, maybe it's cold out, maybe
it's cold. It's a controversial one Dan controversial. Oh yeah,
he's spiking or drink trying to get her to not
go home, if you know what I mean. There's no
drink spiking in that.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Well.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think it's a song almost everybody and relate to
can you you've tried to apply a girl to know.
That's not what that played that song, that's not what
that song is aboutut R. She's like, oh no, please
play that song somewhere. Let me play the trump sound first.
But no, Ryan, never ever, ever, not in a million years.
Speaker 9 (28:19):
There run state of Colorado with a governor who's incompetent
and frankly, with a governor that won't allow our wonderful
Tina to come out of a jail, in a high
intensity jail because she caught people cheating on an election
and they said she was cheating.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
She wasn't cheating.
Speaker 9 (28:39):
She went over, she looked at one of the election
scams going on, and because she did that, they put
her in jail for nine years. The governor of Colorado
is a weak and pathetic man who was run by
Trenda Arragua, the criminals from Venez. Well, it took over
(29:00):
sections of Colorado, and he was afraid to do anything.
But he put Tina in jail for nine years because
she got people cheating, and when she walked over and
got involved in it, they said she was cheaerd.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
She wasn't cheating.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
She caught people cheating on the election twenty twenty, along
with a lot of other people that cheated on that election.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
You'll see that coming out more and more. Listen.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I agree with President Trump that this incarceration at this
point is unjust. I believe Tina Peter is committed a crime,
she was rightfully charged, she was justly convicted, But the
idea of incarcerating her, incarcerating her still I think is
fundamentally unjust, and Polis should commute her sentence and freer.
I think the reason he doesn't is purely political, purely
(29:46):
her speech which he disagrees with, and I think that's wrong,
and I think Trump has made it very clear that
Colorado is going to pay the price for that, and
I think Polis at this point very happy to have
Coloradin's pay a price so he can keep Tina Peters
in jail. That's my take on that. The rest of it,
the President's claims about what happened. I broke that down
(30:08):
in detail earlier. I have some disagreements there with the President,
but I do agree with him that Tina Peters should
not continue to sit in jail. Ryan, could you play
this song? I've never understood it the way you do.
One moment I biking drinks.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Well, oh yeah, then in the hold on it's it's there,
It's there, and I got it right here?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
No, that's right, neighbor's my whatts in this? And I
wish I?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You version of that song? I've ever heard version.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Least I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I trust.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
My probably really can't say.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Sorry, Ryan, that's the only bad version of this. I
think she does a wonderful Josh, who's this?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Have you seen the movie? Elf? Please know you?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Oh my god, damn, sorry, I've been busy.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
It was in two thousand and four, I've been busy.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
It was twenty one years people who were born the
year that movie came out can drink legally.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Now. I know that Joe's seen.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
It, I know I'm Caroline's seen it, and I'm pretty
sure Amy's seen it.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I bet they've seen it together. But but who did
that version? Because that's a terrible version of a great song.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I heard Zoey Deschanel and Leon Redbon.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Who nobody's heard of, but I will tell you that. Yeah,
for the first time I heard a reference to what's
in this drink? No, obviously nobody would ever support that
if that's what it's talking about. I always thought the
song was talking about, Hey, you know, it's cold outside,
we're having a drink. The guy wants to her to stay,
he's not sure, and that she's having a drink. I
(32:03):
never picked up anything suggesting anything putting.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
The drink, suggesting that that would be something that young
Ryan would have done, you know, and they put something
in a drink, no, to try to persuade a young
lady to stay, not risk going out into the cold.
But you know, yeah, I would be romantic ulterior motives dance.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
No, no, no, wait a second, yes, I think everybody
listening can remember something like that. In a very positive
I can remember it when Amy and I were dating.
It's bitter cold outside and you know we're in love
and and uh yeah, okay, so you got a choice.
You can go freeze your blank off scraping off the car,
(32:47):
you make a good point, or you spend some more
time cuddled up on the couch watching something Netflix. No. No,
but but any suggestion about any kind of duress or
spiking a drink for anything else I never picked up.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I mustn't spiking, but maybe making it a little bit
stronger than the normally would be, which I do.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah for myself.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah. So anyway, anyway, I still think it's a great
song because I don't write any of that sense into it.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
But I'm just saying it was.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
They were banning it from radio stations nationwide a few
years ago.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Dan, I have to remember this.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
We were talking about it well, but but I didn't
think it actually got banned. I think where we landed
is that there wasn't.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
There was a hold back from people like us that
are like, wait a minute, a fun song is a
traditional song.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Yeah? No, exactly, Wow, Hey, George Brockler, in tomorrow, that'll
be fun.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
And I want to make sure that people know as well.
Victor Marx will be joining me at eight a m.
Tomorrow and six point thirty KL locally here in Denver.
That will reair at two pm. I'll be listening on
the programs. I'll be listening, all right, Yeah, no, that
that'll be a great conversation.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
I know.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I enjoyed we had an hour with Victor and his
wife studio as well. I believe we'll see that's impressive.
I will definitely make it a point to listen.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Wow, he is.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
The only one of six major candidates invited to a
welled county debate hosted by Sheriff Steve Reims, who declined
to attend and declined the invitation.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Well, you know, I like the fact he's coming on
with you, yep, and that you guys are going to
have that conversation. I will make it a point to
listen for sure. And this is obviously not over between
the governor and President Trump regarding Tina Peters, so we'll
continue to follow that very closely. And Fellow called the
show earlier asked me to read certain appellate briefs. I'd
(34:40):
read the Federal Court habeas stuff, but I'll take a
look at his briefs this afternoon. Thank you to everybody,
be safe out there, be careful and George Brockler tomorrow
on The Dan Kapla Show.
