Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our number two along with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Here's truly
Ryan schuling with you live here on six point thirty
k how inviting your texts at five seven, seven thirty nine.
Start those, Ryan, if you would please, just moments away,
I'm going to get into this Donald Trump interview from
twenty five years ago. He sat down with Larry King
on Larry King Live, one of my all time favorite shows,
(00:21):
because Larry King was kind of like the anti Hannity.
He was very conversational, He was kind of tuned into
his guest and what a guest was saying and the
follow up question, the continuation of that conversation. Larry King
was truly a master at that. And the other thing
that I love that he did was he let his
(00:43):
guest talk. He let the guest give a full answer
and often very interesting answers. Some of his best interviews
all the time, I thought were of Ross Perrault, and
he is invoked in this Donald Trump interview from nineteen
ninety nine, and we'll have that again just moments away.
But following up on a story that was really developing
a real time yesterday, immediately following my interview with John
(01:06):
Fabricatory he's an Aurora native who is running in the
sixth Congressional district as the Republican nominee against incumbent Democrat
Representative Jason Crowe. And there was some unrest that went
down in Aurora over the weekend, most notably on Sunday,
in the wake of the elections in Venezuela, there were many,
(01:28):
not hundreds, but reportedly thousands of Venezuelan Natives that were gathered,
blocking the entrance to businesses, including pharmacies where people needed
to get medications but could not, filling up parking lots,
and blocking off streets, firing off guns. There was vandalism,
assaults reported, and nary a statement from the Aurora PD
(01:51):
until they were called out on it, and then they
tried to downplay it. John Fabricatory was having none of that,
and neither was Danielle Jurinsky, who appeared with me as
I was filling in an hour one of the Dan
Kaplis Show yesterday. Danielle, of course is on the Aurora
City Council. And the thing about the statement by the
Aurora PD was they didn't really refute any of the
(02:11):
specific details. They tried to float out this red herring though, Oh,
it wasn't a Venezuelan organized crime gang group that fueled
all of this. That was not the accusation. That was
a side part of the story that John Fabricatory was
being told about. And think about this. Aurora police officers
were sending anonymous text messages, so they didn't want to
(02:33):
go on the record with either Danielle or John, but
they wanted to get the word out that stuff was
going sideways. Got to really watch my language here. But
you know what I mean with regard to how this
was responded to. If at all we didn't hear anything
from the chief of police, we are going to hear
from the mayor, Mike Kaufman coming up on the Dan
(02:54):
Caplis Show. You want to stay tuned for that at
five point thirty six. I'll be very interested to see
what Kaufman has to say about all of this. But
it was pretty much sheer chaos there and there was
no enforcement of the laws with regard to again firing
discharging a firearm in public.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That is.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
A law that has been broken that was not enforced.
So the law is only as good as far as
you enforce it. And if there were several thousand gathered
there and they didn't have a permit to do so.
We didn't see that detail either from the Aurora PD
alleged against fact check. Now I've reached out to George Brockler.
He is the former district attorney in the eighteenth. He
(03:34):
is running now in a newly created district as the
Republican nominee, but the eighteenth Judicial District is the district
within which Aurora resides, and I'd love to get his input.
I've also reached out to the current district attorney for
the eighteenth, that's John Kellner, and I have not heard
back from him as of yet. I've been kind of
going back and forth with George. There is a chance
(03:55):
that he will join Dan coming up at four point
thirty six, and if we can get George on this program,
I'll go ahead and do that. But something that really
stood out to me in the entire conversation we talked
about this for two hours yesterday on Dan's show, was
this caller Tony, who is from Denver but was working
construction in Aurora, and this was just one part of
(04:15):
his story.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It turned into a joke. I mean, even today, I'm
sitting in my car at the job site in a
parking lot of a little shopping center in the area,
and a car stops in front of me, and I
took a video because it was so funny, and an
older gentleman opens the door. She doesn't even pull into
a parking spot, just stops in front of me in
the lane, opens his door and starts.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Peeing, Oh my god, you are kidneying.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So that's one account, But every texter and caller that
we had joined the program yesterday was reaffirming the accounts
of Danielle Jorinsky and John Fabricatory. Nothing was contradicting what
went down. And it begs the question, why wasn't there
anything done by law enforcement to just let this go?
(04:58):
It doesn't make sense. And then, further to that point,
how many of the assembled Venezuelans were here illegally? It
is a question that needs to be asked. And the
reason that I ask it is because if their first
act in this country is to break our laws coming
into this country, our immigration laws, then I repeat this stance,
(05:19):
what incentive, what motivation does any one person have to
follow any other laws of ours? They've already broken a law,
they're on the run, they're on the land. They don't
want to get caught, they don't want to get found out,
they don't want to get deported. So they've got to
lay low. They've got to kind of work behind the scenes.
It's not an easy life. I mean, that's got to
be a very anxious time. I would think for somebody
(05:42):
who is here illegally. Is the Aurora Police Department cooperating
with ICE for instance? That's another question. This is not Venezuela.
These are not the streets of Caracas in Aurora, nor
should they be. This is Merema and you either come
here and you live as Americans do, or you can
(06:03):
go ahead and go back to Venezuela. We don't want
people here who are not going to adhere to our customs,
our laws, to become Americans, to embrace our society and culture.
Bring what you have to the table. It's a melting pot.
I get that. I support that. I support legal immigration
going through the proper channels. But they were gathered for
(06:25):
the elections in Venezuela, their homeland.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
They're still in tune. Then they want I would hope
and presume that they want Venezuela to be free of
the clutches of the communist dictator Nicholas Maduro. But you
don't do that by blocking off traffic and the entrance
to businesses and turning Aurora upside down into a chaotic state.
That's not how it's done. So again, Mayor Mike Kaufman
(06:49):
will be joining Dan caplis coming up a little over
an hour front right now. My friend Steven reached out
to me too, and he says this, Hey meant to
tell you this last week, but my car got stolen
three weeks ago in doug Co. They located it because
I have on Star two hours later in Aurora. It
took Aurora six hours to go out and get it.
(07:10):
When I talked to the officer and asked him why
it took so long, and he told me that their
department isn't very good and they're having a ton of problems.
He said, in fact, the prior week they had just
lost five guys that had been there twenty years or more,
not to mention the rollover that they've had at the
chief position. There's been five of those in the last decade.
I think that's a conservativestiment. And then Stephen concludes, so
(07:34):
as I was listening yesterday, it made sense why Aurora
isn't doing much of anything at all. And the interim
chief of Aurora Police was texting with Danielle Jurinsky but
did not make a public comment, and that's Heather Morris,
so she herself did not make a comment, but there
was a post on x on behalf of Aurora PD.
(07:56):
So again, at least at this point for me, there
are a lot more question answers, and hopefully we'll get
some answers from Mayor Kaufman when he appears with Dan
later today. Going to another email that I got this
from my friend Dave Prophet. He is the president and
founder of American Heroes in Action, and he's asking what
is Trump up to? He should be leading Kamala by
(08:16):
double digits, just based on the economy and the border,
but he isn't. And it isn't because she's so great.
It's because he truly is, as the Dems all like
to say, acting weird. Some of the stuff he says
in the campaign trails really goofy, like talking about sharks
versus electric cars and suggesting he may not debate Kamala.
He should be asking for a debate tomorrow he not
(08:37):
Biden out of the race. By debating him, he could
show independents who are going to decide this election what
a difference there is between the two. I understand why
he wouldn't debate fellow Republicans, but he needs the debate
to win over more independent voters. I can't figure out
what he's up to. Can you, Davey make good points?
I think you've got to remember the long game. With Trump,
(08:57):
there's usually not always, but there's usually a method to
his madness and why he does things, and his political
acumen and instincts generally have been right. I think sometimes
he gets scattershot and off track, and that is a frustration.
But Trump at this point, I mean, he is who
(09:17):
he is. Right, you take the good with the bad,
and you hope that there's more good than bad. I
thought he was brilliant today at the conference in Chicago.
That was he handled this very well in which a
reporter was basically trying to call him out National Association
of Black Journalists and he kind of nipped that in
the bud. And as far as the polls go, don't overreact.
(09:40):
That's all I'm going to say. Can Kamala Harris win
this race. She can, I don't think she will. I
want to be as real as I can with you
as possible. I listened to Dan Bongino, and he's a
little bit more on edge than I am. I'm fairly confident.
I think the American people are going to see her
for who she is, and I think they know that
(10:00):
life was better under Trump and that Harris needs to
own a lot of these Biden Harris policies. This Bloomberg
Morning Consult poll that a lot of people are freaking
out about. I got to tell you it's an outlier,
and every poll is its own kind of part of
the mosaic. But this notion that Kamala Harris is up
eleven or twelve in Michigan, my home state, that's just
not true. There's just no way that's true. There is
(10:22):
no way that she's going to do better in Michigan
than Hillary Clinton than Joe Biden. Because Trump didn't lose
Michigan by a whole lot to Joe Biden. If he
loses it, he could Michigan is truly a coin flip.
He's not down twelve and plus. In the same poll,
it shows Trump up four in Pennsylvania. That makes no sense.
Those two don't jibe, so I wouldn't overreact to that
(10:45):
particular poll. There's also another poll, albeit again from a
Republican source in Hoffmann Research, that shows Trump within five
in Oregon, the blue state of Oregon. Portland keep it
weird Portlandia.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, now truth is probably somewhere in between, and we'll
need to sort this out. But keep in mind again,
Kamala Harris, she has not granted a single sit down interview,
even with the friendly media outlet. She has not held
a press conference. She held a press address I think
after meeting with Benjamin Nett Yahoo. But she tried to
pull a Joe Biden and just storm off without taking questions. Sorry, Kamala,
(11:23):
you can't. Biden's old and frail and senile. We know
why he was running away. You don't have that same excuse.
So she's gonna have to face the music at some point.
And to Dave's point, yeah, that should come in the
form of a debate. But Trump's got to dictate the
terms now. He allowed Joe Biden to set the terms
of the first two debates, that those rules are out
(11:43):
the window. Kamala Harris needs to do a debate on
Fox News with Brettbear and Martha McCallum. Moderating period, end
of sentence. That's the deal. We don't have to play
road games every time here. And this is part of
the reason why Trump happened. Republicans were Patsy's for far
too long. They were willing to fold up their tent
in their cards. Okay, well, we'll play by your roles.
(12:04):
No Trump dictates the terms. Because while Trump needs that debate,
Dave I would agree it would help Kamala Harris desperately
needs some kind of home run performance in a debate.
I don't think that's coming. She got decimated and incinerated
by Tulca Gabbard, But I do think it'll happen. Let
this play out. It's only going to get worse from
(12:25):
here for Kamala Harris. That's my prediction. That's just how
I authentically feel. Speaking of which, here's that Donald Trump
interview with Larry King twenty five years ago. I think
this is fascinating because it really provides kind of a
harbinger of things to come.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Let's get into some things. The Reform Party, by its
name means reform. You will be leaving. If you run this,
you're believing what the Republican Party are.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I'm a registered Republican. I'm a pretty conservative guy. I'm
somewhat liberal and social issues, especially healthcare, etc. But I'd
be leaving another party, and I've been close to that party.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Why would you leave the Republican Party.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I think that nobody's really hitting it right. The Democrats
are too far left. I mean, Bill Bradley, this is
seriously left. He's trying to come a little more center,
but he's seriously left. The Republicans are too far right.
And I don't think anybody's hitting the cord. Not the
cord that I want to hear, and not the cord
that other people want to hear. And I've seen it. Plus,
I think there's a great lack of spirit in this country.
(13:24):
What's happened over the last four years is disgusting, and
I just think there's a tremendous lack of spirit. And
I think the spirit has to be brought back.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Fast forward about sixteen years. And what you hear Donald
Trump say, they're in nineteen ninety nine. It's pretty much
what he brought to the table at the Republican Party.
He changed the party from the inside out from a
neo con party to something more in line of what
he just described. That he's asked about who his running
mate might be if he chose to run in the
(13:52):
Reform Party in the two thousand election.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
You have a vice presidential candidate in mind?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Well, I really haven't gotten quite there yet. Well, it's
just I love Oprah. Oprah would always be my first choice.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Oprah.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Oprah, you're a competitor, right, you know what she's she's
really a great woman. Though she is a terrific woman.
She's somebody that's very special. I have not even thought
about it. I guess we'll see, we'll see. Maybe that's
part of the whole process.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Would shed be something, I mean kidding aside.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
That you might think if she'd do it, she'd be fantastic.
And she's popular, she's brilliant, she's a wonderful woman. I mean,
if she'd ever do it, I don't know that she'd
ever do it. She's got you ask her, she'd be
sort of like me. I mean, I have a lot
of things going. She's got a lot of things going. Forefully,
that would be a pretty good ticket. But she's a
very exceptional woman.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
This goes back to my point that I've been making,
and now I've got receipts for you. Trump and Oprah
had something of, you know, platonic romance going on. Oprah
loved Donald Trump. I remember this, maybe you remember this.
He was on her show all the time.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
He was the.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Example of success to America. You wanted to be like
Donald Trump despite all and even Jesse Jackson mentioned this, Well,
he's got a different kind of style in pizzaz those
were his words. That's true. But my point has always
been this is always who Donald Trump has been and
he hasn't changed really all that much, although everybody's turned
(15:17):
on him, and that might have changed him because at
one time he was a friend of the Clinton's.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Well makes a good president?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Well, I think the leadership qualities. You know, the sad
part about President Clinton, who I happened to like a lot,
But he could have had a great presidency if the
whole thing with Monica and Paula Jones and the worst
of all is you know Linda Tripp. I mean, this
woman where she came from. I have no idea, but
this is the woman from hell.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
But he didn't have anything to do with no, No.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He didn't, but she always seems to surface, and she's
just became a part.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Of the adventistor. Can't you say in all honesty?
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Is Reagan asked when running against Carter, haven't you done
better the last under Clinton and Donald?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
You know?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Truth is that Rubin and Alan Greenspan and you know
those appointments done his watch, and it is on his watch.
And the sad part is, and what I'm saying is
that he could have gone down as a really very good.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
And you have done well on the country's done.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I have done well, and the country's done well from
an economic standpoint, There's no question about.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
That, pretty straight sure there about the eight years of
the Clinton presidency. This is interesting though what he says
about Al Gore, and this kind of undergirds I think
while a lot of you like Donald Trump, follow him
and are loyal to him, and certainly kel kel our
own Kelly here this is where it breaks down as
to why she likes and trusts Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Well, Gore is a man that I've said before is
a very underrated man. But if he keeps going the
way he's going, which has been terrible, he's no longer
going to be underrated.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
He's doing wrong.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Nobody knows. It's just I think he's relying on too
many people. I think he probably raised too much money
and he therefore it's being taken away by too many
different consultants. I mean, everybody's got a piece of him.
If he just go back to being the regular guy
that he was, I think it do. I mean, he
got to be vice president into the United States by
being Gore, and now all of a sudden you have
fifteen people tugging on his shoulders and taking money from
(17:06):
his various contributions. I mean, if he's spent twenty million dollars,
I've spent exactly twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Less interesting because Donald Trump right there, he says it,
Al Gore, by taking all of this money in then
became beholden to the donors and the special interests and
everybody tugging him in different directions. And that's exactly what happened,
and it's exactly what doesn't happen with Trump because he's
independently wealthy. He doesn't need anybody on the inside of
(17:34):
Washington defund his campaign, and therefore he's not beholden to them,
and therefore they can't control him, therefore he scares them.
This is who he details as examples of great presidents
in our recent history.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I mean, Ronald Reagan to me was a great president.
And whether you're liberal or your conservative, people really view
him as a great president. He'll go down as a
great president. Not so much for the things he did,
just there was a demes to him in a spirit
that the country had under Ronald Reagan that was really phenomenal.
And you know, there was just a style and a
class and that's a big part of being president. I mean,
(18:09):
that's a really big part of being president. Ronald Reagan
had it. Eisenhower. Now, Eisenhower, I don't see him too
much on lists of great great presidents, but there was
a nice time in the country. The country had a prestige,
and he had a certain you demeanor. He was a
quality class act. There are certain people that have that.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
He's exactly right. You remember the Halcionic fifties, right, leave
it to Beaver and I love Lucy, And that's when
my dad was a little boy growing up, and the
auto industry was roaring in Detroit and the American economy
was and the Eisenhower developed the Interstate Highway system. It
was a good time in America for a lot of reasons.
Now that of course predated the civil rights movement and
(18:50):
acts that needed to happen, but the fifties in a
lot of ways were unprecedented success in the history of
the United States, and Eisenhower deserves that credit. He also
talks about Ronald Reagan again these aspirational terms. He's right,
you have the soaring rhetoric, this feeling. It's mourning in
America again with Ronald Reagan. This is why I revere
(19:11):
Reagan as the greatest president of my lifetime. It's not close.
There's not a close second. I would say Donald Trump,
if he wins reelection to a second term, has a
chance to be a pretty solid second on that list.
But Reagan in the eighties, even the Democrats, even the media,
they couldn't help.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
But like him.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He was that effusive with his charm, his charisma, his
way of dealing with the media. He was swift, he
was smooth. He was underrated as an intellect, he was
really keen. He could perform. He was an actor, obviously,
but he was a very smart individual. And Ronald Reagan,
of course helped bring down the Soviet Union, there's no
(19:49):
two ways about it. And then Donald Trumps acts again.
This is a nineteen ninety nine interview twenty five years
ago with Larry King about what it means to be
a great president. This is interesting too.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Parot told us back in ninety two the kind of
president he would be if elected, that he would be decisive,
he would be uninterested in pomposity, He would be at
work at eight o'clock in the morning. These are things
he would do. He didn't like, not a big ribbon
cutter kind of president.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
With Donald Trump be well, again, all those things are fine,
but you know, again, you go back to Reagan and
there is a certain pomposity and there was a certain
ribbon cutting stature that is important for the president. I
think that the you know, the whole style and look
of him was just really.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Are you saying that's the kind of person you want.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
To Well, I don't say that, and I don't like
to be compared to anybody, and maybe he would be
unfair to them, To be honest with you, but the
president has to be a great leader, and you have
to lead by example. But you need leadership in this
country and we're just not having it right now.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
There was a definite humility in the second part of
that comment about Trump and his reverence for Reagan, that
he didn't necessarily want to be compared to Reagan, that
it wouldn't be fair to Reagan, but that he knows
that this image is overarching feeling that Reagan was to
establish develop in the United States again from a time
that was dark in the seventies, when we didn't feel
great about ourselves with Jimmy Carter as president. You know
(21:08):
what helped turn that around was one the election of
Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty two. Quite frankly, the miracle
on Ice made us believe in America again, that we
could defeat this mighty Red Army Soviet Union team in
the ultimate underdog story. That's America right there. And Ronald
Reagan made us believe in ourselves again. We had confidence
as Americans through the eighties. Our economy boom, pop culture boomed.
(21:30):
There was a reason for that. There was an ethos
to the eighties excess equaled success. And Donald Trump was
the embodiment of that, the personification of that. This is
what I cannot wrap my head around. That so many
people have such hatred for this man, when at one
time he was the gold standard for success in America.
(21:52):
And I have not forgotten that too many other people have.
Donald Trump is who he is, He is who he's
always been. And you just heard it right there twenty
five years ago a break in. We're back the wildfires
here in and around Colorado. Rob Dawson reporting on those
live for KOA. He will join us next with an
update after this bottom of the hour timeout. Ryan schooling
(22:13):
with you on six point thirty ko One of the
comforts of home that is really truly remarkable development in
American history is air conditioning. It's why the population in
the South grew as much as it did through the
latter part of the twentieth century, and why we've come
to where we can't really experience life without it, and
(22:36):
it is a life of privilege, and we look forward
to those times. But if your air conditioning is on
the fritz, you know what that's like. It's not very comfortable,
and you want to get a new one, but you
want to get it at the best possible price. So
I turn your attention to Master Services the guaranteed lowest
price they'll get to you into a brand new air
conditioning unit, tax and labor included. Total costs starting under
(22:57):
three thousand dollars. That's for residential. They handle commercial. Two.
They'll come on out. They'll give you a free estimate
on site. You've got an initial estimate from somebody else,
you want to have Master Services, come on, I'll give
you that second in opinion. They'll beat that price and
nobody else will. You won't need a third opinion. Give
them a call at seven two oh four thirty four
thirty four oh six and just have a conversation about
(23:19):
what you might need, what you think you need, You're
not sure, but they're going to talk to you and
they're going to talk you through that process. Very customer
focused at Master Services. And you can find out more
online Master Router dot Plumbing. That's Master Router dot Plumbing
for Master Services, and you can tell them. Ryan sent
you texts five seven, seven, three nine, start those Ryan.
(23:43):
But you may have seen posts on Facebook or encountered
this yourself firsthand, the wildfires that have been spreading throughout
here in Colorado, and our reporter in the field with
the very latest on this. He is reporting from Jeff
co last time I checked, but who knows. Got to
catch up. Rob Dawson and Koa. He joins us now live, Rob,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Hey Ryan, Yes, thank you, and we're in We're sill
in Jefferson County. We're at Wadsworth Boulevard and Deer Creek Canyon.
We've got a great view of the quarry fire here.
The smoke just continues to pour from the top of
the ridge that we're looking at. But more of an
important location and what has drawn some people to come
(24:26):
and watch is the frequency of the planes and the
aircraft more helicopters here. But the helicopters are flying over
Wadsworth Boulevard and they're landing in the chapter to the reservoir,
picking up water and then going back to the fire.
So you might hear a helicopter here in a couple
of minutes, because I think one is on the reservoir
(24:47):
right now picking up water.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Now, Rob, I'm not sure if this was in jeff
co or somewhere else, but there have been reports of
fatalities and or injuries. Can you give us an update
on that, and also, most importantly, if either are residents
areas that are in danger right now.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, and all three fires there are residential areas in danger.
The information that we have is that the one depth
so far has been in Lions at that wildfire in
Boulder County. Yeah, we should also say that a fourth
wildfire has been recorded near Gross Reservoir, also in Bolder County.
So you got two in Bolder, one en Wirremer that's
(25:25):
the one near Level, and then one down here the
Quarry fire. But in all of those cases, and I
think even in the fourth one too, although it is
not confirmed, but at least for the first three, there
are definitely people that have been evacuated.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Rob Dawson KOA joining US Live for the report on
the wildfires here in Colorado. He says, there is a
talk of a fourth wildfire. We know Rob that sometimes
conditions are right or I guess I should say wrong
for a fire to begin, whether that's extreme dry conditions,
extreme heat, et cetera. The fact that all these are
starting around the same time. What would be the e
(25:59):
x explanation for that if you've gotten any from officials?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
No explanation other than the fact that of a level
and fire which I was at yesterday, which is called
the Alexander Mountain. By the way, I got a fire
truck here about here that's unrelated. Yeah, probably unrelated right now,
but it's causes surrem wadging boulevard as it's trying to
get through. And actually, by the way, I'm watching the
helicopter leave, this one seems to go further away from us.
(26:23):
We have more of a military style one that seems
to want to go directly above us, So this one
isn't going to quite fly over us here. But the
Alexander Mountain fire is under investigation. The way they said
it made it seem like it could be nefarious, but
I'm not sure. You just got that sense when you
were out there that they just simply said it's under investigation,
(26:47):
no cause yet. But whether it was natural or not.
The problem is is these conditions that you mentioned are
just really bad together. You know, it's funny the wind
is any and that's sure on even where we are
it's light. But the problem is any wind with the
combination of the dryness and I think I saw humidity
(27:08):
at sixteen percent where I was on my phone think
level and had nine percent humidity yesterday.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
It's just not good.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
There's not enough moisture, and these wildfires grow at night,
which is problematic. Usually they have a lot of fire
activity during the day, but if you're getting activity at
night too, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Rob Dawson live of via Koa and joining us here
on six point thirty K how the report on the
wildfires in jeff Co. Final question, Rob, appreciate your time
and all the hard work you're doing out there. Do
we have an update on how many acres have been
burned if they feel confident about blunting these fires? Are
there any evacuation orders that are in effect right now
(27:47):
or might be soon.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
The only two fires that I know about acres specifically
at the top of my head because I think the
lines when they have updated slightly, I know it's about
sixty seven hundred and sixty eight hundred acres of burned
and the Alexander Mountain fire the last that I heard
at the fire that I'm at, and again these numbers changed.
They're trying to get some infrared mapping up here. I
(28:09):
heard two hundred acres the last hour, but I know
they were also about to give an update to victims only,
so the media was not involved in that that number
could change. And the only thing that I would take
away here. First of all, I think in all these wildfires,
there's sense of how tup it's going to be. In
the Alexander Mountain fire, which I heard the press conference
earlier on KOA while I was here in Jefferson County.
(28:33):
You just said that the fire investigators, it's not like
they're panicking. It's not like they're giving up hope. They're
very hopeful people. They want to do this. They have
the skills to do the best they can. But one
of the problems is they're mentioning that they need to
preserve human safety first, so if the fire conditions are
too extreme, they can't get all the tools possible to
(28:56):
risk the firefighters lives as well. So hearing that it
makes it seem like when when they keep saying we
need rain, we need rain. Yeah, the best chance for
rain might be Friday. It might be Friday. It also
might not fall where these fires are. We'll have to
see you and wait. But that's where I get a sense,
uh from fire crews is uh, you know they're not
(29:18):
They're never gonna I think, come out and panic and
that they can't do something. But I also feel like
they know that this is this is a tough one here.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And then all in all these ones and then finally
Rob evacuation orders for anybody in the living area there.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Where I'm at right now.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Or anywhere I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Oh yeah, I mean all of the all of the
fires have some evacuations zones. I was at the Jepco
evacuation zone. Uh that the Coda Ridge High School. People
are filing in slowly. A lot of dogs with this one.
There were more way larger animals and Loveland. But yeah,
evacuation zones all over the place.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Okay, So stay tuned for the very latest on these wildfires.
Rob Dawson doing yeoman's work out there in the field
and joining us live for a few minutes here, Rob,
thank you again, and we'll keep in touch on this
and follow it going forward.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
All right, great, thank you, all right, Rob.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Dawson, KOA news right there. We'll take a time out,
come back, wrap up with your text five seven seven
three nine, start them Ryan after this time out on
six point thirty KML.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
You're sure, Yes, it wasn't a space lacer. No, it
wasn't a murder hornet, absolutely not. It wasn't sasquatch, no center.
It was a bullet. It was a bullet, Senator fired
by crooks. Yes, sir, did he hit President Trump in
(30:49):
the year and almost kill him? Okay, glad, we'll cleared
that up now.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
It was funny but necessary. Senator John Kennedy, of course,
he's a classic. I love the guy making sure that
in the hearing, a Senate hearing, there that FBI Deputy
Director paul A bat confirmed that it was indeed a
bullet that struck the ear of Donald Trump. Because you know,
for all these people who look on us with such condessential,
the conspiracy theorists, so the right and Quelenon and Project
(31:17):
twenty twenty five, these people have come out of the
woodwork with their Trump Arrangement syndrome, thinking, ohs a ricochet
or a piece of glass from the teleprompter. You know,
they want to invent this theory so that somehow they
can blunt the momentum of Donald Trump, fist in the air,
(31:38):
flagged behind him, secret Service protecting him. That iconic image
which for a time, I'm not sure if it's been remedied.
You couldn't even search for it on the Facebook platforms.
Google has silenced it you go to search on Google
Trump assassination attempt or assassination attempt tru it, says Truman.
It doesn't show Trump at all. They're trying to memory
(32:00):
hole this. Don't let them the other part of this.
I want to get in real quickly. This is Kamala Harris,
and don't let her fool you or I know she
won't fool you, but the general public, We've got to
keep hammering these points. These were her positions, These are
her positions.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
When I was Attorney General, I learned that the California
Department of Corrections, which was a client of mine I
didn't get to choose my clients.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
A client of the Attorney General.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
A client of the Attorney General of the Office of
Attorney General, that they were standing in the way of
surgery for prisoners. And there was a specific case. And
when I learned about the case, I worked behind the
scenes to not only make sure that that transgender woman
got the services she was deserving. So it wasn't only
(32:49):
about that case. I made sure that they changed the
policy in the state of California so that every transgender
inmate in the prison system would have acts to the
medical care that they desire and need, and I believe
it was not only that I know it was historic
in California, but I believe actually it may have been
one of the first, if not the first, in the
(33:11):
country where I pushed for that policy in a Department
of Corrections.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
So a convicted murderer who claims to be trans maybe
is trance, I don't know, wants to have the surgery.
You're going to pay for it in California, and that'll
go nationwide. She was running hard to her left in
the twenty twenty campaign, trying to outflank Bernie Sanders and
Elizabeth Warren. These are the policy positions she has stated
on the record, and that she is enforced in the
state of California as the attorney General. Don't let her
(33:39):
duck or hide from this. Also, she supports putting biological
males in female prisons, including biological males convicted of rape,
so that a woman in prison serving a sentence has
to live in that constant fear that a convicted rapist
with the penis could rape them in prison. As well,
she supports that. Here's another position that she supports.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
And as of twenty nineteen, well, Kamala Harris enthusiastically supported reparations.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Take a look, should black people get reparations?
Speaker 9 (34:12):
I think there has to be some foreigner reparations and
we can discuss what that is. But look, we're looking
at more than two hundred years of slavery. We're looking
at almost one hundred years of Jim craw We're looking
at legalized.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
Segregation and in fact, segregation.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
On so many levels that exist today based on race,
and there has not been.
Speaker 8 (34:42):
Any kind of intervention.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Uh oh, an intervention. We need segregation now in what form?
Define that also reparations? How would that work? Let's take
Kamala Harris herself, her father Jamaican, her mother from India.
Neither were descendants of slaves. In fact, Kamala's father has
cautioned her against this particular tack. So does she get
half of the reparations? Does the Indian side have to
(35:05):
pay the black side of Kamala Harris? What about somebody
that's one quarter black? Do they only get a quarter
of the reparations? This is a nonsense stance. Trump needs
to hammer Kamala on policy, and if she tries to
waffle or flip flop, then you call her out and
say She's not a serious person and she shouldn't be
taken seriously. He has her checkmated on the chessboard on
(35:27):
policy alone. Hammer her on policy, and Trump wins. Stay tuned.
Mayor Mike Kaufman coming up with Dan Kaplis next on
six point thirty. Ko
Our number two along with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Here's truly
Ryan schuling with you live here on six point thirty
k how inviting your texts at five seven, seven thirty nine.
Start those, Ryan, if you would please, just moments away,
I'm going to get into this Donald Trump interview from
twenty five years ago. He sat down with Larry King
on Larry King Live, one of my all time favorite shows,
(00:21):
because Larry King was kind of like the anti Hannity.
He was very conversational, He was kind of tuned into
his guest and what a guest was saying and the
follow up question, the continuation of that conversation. Larry King
was truly a master at that. And the other thing
that I love that he did was he let his
(00:43):
guest talk. He let the guest give a full answer
and often very interesting answers. Some of his best interviews
all the time, I thought were of Ross Perrault, and
he is invoked in this Donald Trump interview from nineteen
ninety nine, and we'll have that again just moments away.
But following up on a story that was really developing
a real time yesterday, immediately following my interview with John
(01:06):
Fabricatory he's an Aurora native who is running in the
sixth Congressional district as the Republican nominee against incumbent Democrat
Representative Jason Crowe. And there was some unrest that went
down in Aurora over the weekend, most notably on Sunday,
in the wake of the elections in Venezuela, there were many,
(01:28):
not hundreds, but reportedly thousands of Venezuelan Natives that were gathered,
blocking the entrance to businesses, including pharmacies where people needed
to get medications but could not, filling up parking lots,
and blocking off streets, firing off guns. There was vandalism,
assaults reported, and nary a statement from the Aurora PD
(01:51):
until they were called out on it, and then they
tried to downplay it. John Fabricatory was having none of that,
and neither was Danielle Jurinsky, who appeared with me as
I was filling in an hour one of the Dan
Kaplis Show yesterday. Danielle, of course is on the Aurora
City Council. And the thing about the statement by the
Aurora PD was they didn't really refute any of the
(02:11):
specific details. They tried to float out this red herring though, Oh,
it wasn't a Venezuelan organized crime gang group that fueled
all of this. That was not the accusation. That was
a side part of the story that John Fabricatory was
being told about. And think about this. Aurora police officers
were sending anonymous text messages, so they didn't want to
(02:33):
go on the record with either Danielle or John, but
they wanted to get the word out that stuff was
going sideways. Got to really watch my language here. But
you know what I mean with regard to how this
was responded to. If at all we didn't hear anything
from the chief of police, we are going to hear
from the mayor, Mike Kaufman coming up on the Dan
(02:54):
Caplis Show. You want to stay tuned for that at
five point thirty six. I'll be very interested to see
what Kaufman has to say about all of this. But
it was pretty much sheer chaos there and there was
no enforcement of the laws with regard to again firing
discharging a firearm in public.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That is.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
A law that has been broken that was not enforced.
So the law is only as good as far as
you enforce it. And if there were several thousand gathered
there and they didn't have a permit to do so.
We didn't see that detail either from the Aurora PD
alleged against fact check. Now I've reached out to George Brockler.
He is the former district attorney in the eighteenth. He
(03:34):
is running now in a newly created district as the
Republican nominee, but the eighteenth Judicial District is the district
within which Aurora resides, and I'd love to get his input.
I've also reached out to the current district attorney for
the eighteenth, that's John Kellner, and I have not heard
back from him as of yet. I've been kind of
going back and forth with George. There is a chance
(03:55):
that he will join Dan coming up at four point
thirty six, and if we can get George on this program,
I'll go ahead and do that. But something that really
stood out to me in the entire conversation we talked
about this for two hours yesterday on Dan's show, was
this caller Tony, who is from Denver but was working
construction in Aurora, and this was just one part of
(04:15):
his story.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It turned into a joke. I mean, even today, I'm
sitting in my car at the job site in a
parking lot of a little shopping center in the area,
and a car stops in front of me, and I
took a video because it was so funny, and an
older gentleman opens the door. She doesn't even pull into
a parking spot, just stops in front of me in
the lane, opens his door and starts.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Peeing, Oh my god, you are kidneying.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So that's one account, But every texter and caller that
we had joined the program yesterday was reaffirming the accounts
of Danielle Jorinsky and John Fabricatory. Nothing was contradicting what
went down. And it begs the question, why wasn't there
anything done by law enforcement to just let this go?
(04:58):
It doesn't make sense. And then, further to that point,
how many of the assembled Venezuelans were here illegally? It
is a question that needs to be asked. And the
reason that I ask it is because if their first
act in this country is to break our laws coming
into this country, our immigration laws, then I repeat this stance,
(05:19):
what incentive, what motivation does any one person have to
follow any other laws of ours? They've already broken a law,
they're on the run, they're on the land. They don't
want to get caught, they don't want to get found out,
they don't want to get deported. So they've got to
lay low. They've got to kind of work behind the scenes.
It's not an easy life. I mean, that's got to
be a very anxious time. I would think for somebody
(05:42):
who is here illegally. Is the Aurora Police Department cooperating
with ICE for instance? That's another question. This is not Venezuela.
These are not the streets of Caracas in Aurora, nor
should they be. This is Merema and you either come
here and you live as Americans do, or you can
(06:03):
go ahead and go back to Venezuela. We don't want
people here who are not going to adhere to our customs,
our laws, to become Americans, to embrace our society and culture.
Bring what you have to the table. It's a melting pot.
I get that. I support that. I support legal immigration
going through the proper channels. But they were gathered for
(06:25):
the elections in Venezuela, their homeland.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
They're still in tune. Then they want I would hope
and presume that they want Venezuela to be free of
the clutches of the communist dictator Nicholas Maduro. But you
don't do that by blocking off traffic and the entrance
to businesses and turning Aurora upside down into a chaotic state.
That's not how it's done. So again, Mayor Mike Kaufman
(06:49):
will be joining Dan caplis coming up a little over
an hour front right now. My friend Steven reached out
to me too, and he says this, Hey meant to
tell you this last week, but my car got stolen
three weeks ago in doug Co. They located it because
I have on Star two hours later in Aurora. It
took Aurora six hours to go out and get it.
(07:10):
When I talked to the officer and asked him why
it took so long, and he told me that their
department isn't very good and they're having a ton of problems.
He said, in fact, the prior week they had just
lost five guys that had been there twenty years or more,
not to mention the rollover that they've had at the
chief position. There's been five of those in the last decade.
I think that's a conservativestiment. And then Stephen concludes, so
(07:34):
as I was listening yesterday, it made sense why Aurora
isn't doing much of anything at all. And the interim
chief of Aurora Police was texting with Danielle Jurinsky but
did not make a public comment, and that's Heather Morris,
so she herself did not make a comment, but there
was a post on x on behalf of Aurora PD.
(07:56):
So again, at least at this point for me, there
are a lot more question answers, and hopefully we'll get
some answers from Mayor Kaufman when he appears with Dan
later today. Going to another email that I got this
from my friend Dave Prophet. He is the president and
founder of American Heroes in Action, and he's asking what
is Trump up to? He should be leading Kamala by
(08:16):
double digits, just based on the economy and the border,
but he isn't. And it isn't because she's so great.
It's because he truly is, as the Dems all like
to say, acting weird. Some of the stuff he says
in the campaign trails really goofy, like talking about sharks
versus electric cars and suggesting he may not debate Kamala.
He should be asking for a debate tomorrow he not
(08:37):
Biden out of the race. By debating him, he could
show independents who are going to decide this election what
a difference there is between the two. I understand why
he wouldn't debate fellow Republicans, but he needs the debate
to win over more independent voters. I can't figure out
what he's up to. Can you, Davey make good points?
I think you've got to remember the long game. With Trump,
(08:57):
there's usually not always, but there's usually a method to
his madness and why he does things, and his political
acumen and instincts generally have been right. I think sometimes
he gets scattershot and off track, and that is a frustration.
But Trump at this point, I mean, he is who
(09:17):
he is. Right, you take the good with the bad,
and you hope that there's more good than bad. I
thought he was brilliant today at the conference in Chicago.
That was he handled this very well in which a
reporter was basically trying to call him out National Association
of Black Journalists and he kind of nipped that in
the bud. And as far as the polls go, don't overreact.
(09:40):
That's all I'm going to say. Can Kamala Harris win
this race. She can, I don't think she will. I
want to be as real as I can with you
as possible. I listened to Dan Bongino, and he's a
little bit more on edge than I am. I'm fairly confident.
I think the American people are going to see her
for who she is, and I think they know that
(10:00):
life was better under Trump and that Harris needs to
own a lot of these Biden Harris policies. This Bloomberg
Morning Consult poll that a lot of people are freaking
out about. I got to tell you it's an outlier,
and every poll is its own kind of part of
the mosaic. But this notion that Kamala Harris is up
eleven or twelve in Michigan, my home state, that's just
not true. There's just no way that's true. There is
(10:22):
no way that she's going to do better in Michigan
than Hillary Clinton than Joe Biden. Because Trump didn't lose
Michigan by a whole lot to Joe Biden. If he
loses it, he could Michigan is truly a coin flip.
He's not down twelve and plus. In the same poll,
it shows Trump up four in Pennsylvania. That makes no sense.
Those two don't jibe, so I wouldn't overreact to that
(10:45):
particular poll. There's also another poll, albeit again from a
Republican source in Hoffmann Research, that shows Trump within five
in Oregon, the blue state of Oregon. Portland keep it
weird Portlandia.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, now truth is probably somewhere in between, and we'll
need to sort this out. But keep in mind again,
Kamala Harris, she has not granted a single sit down interview,
even with the friendly media outlet. She has not held
a press conference. She held a press address I think
after meeting with Benjamin Nett Yahoo. But she tried to
pull a Joe Biden and just storm off without taking questions. Sorry, Kamala,
(11:23):
you can't. Biden's old and frail and senile. We know
why he was running away. You don't have that same excuse.
So she's gonna have to face the music at some point.
And to Dave's point, yeah, that should come in the
form of a debate. But Trump's got to dictate the
terms now. He allowed Joe Biden to set the terms
of the first two debates, that those rules are out
(11:43):
the window. Kamala Harris needs to do a debate on
Fox News with Brettbear and Martha McCallum. Moderating period, end
of sentence. That's the deal. We don't have to play
road games every time here. And this is part of
the reason why Trump happened. Republicans were Patsy's for far
too long. They were willing to fold up their tent
in their cards. Okay, well, we'll play by your roles.
(12:04):
No Trump dictates the terms. Because while Trump needs that debate,
Dave I would agree it would help Kamala Harris desperately
needs some kind of home run performance in a debate.
I don't think that's coming. She got decimated and incinerated
by Tulca Gabbard, But I do think it'll happen. Let
this play out. It's only going to get worse from
(12:25):
here for Kamala Harris. That's my prediction. That's just how
I authentically feel. Speaking of which, here's that Donald Trump
interview with Larry King twenty five years ago. I think
this is fascinating because it really provides kind of a
harbinger of things to come.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Let's get into some things. The Reform Party, by its
name means reform. You will be leaving. If you run this,
you're believing what the Republican Party are.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I'm a registered Republican. I'm a pretty conservative guy. I'm
somewhat liberal and social issues, especially healthcare, etc. But I'd
be leaving another party, and I've been close to that party.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Why would you leave the Republican Party.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I think that nobody's really hitting it right. The Democrats
are too far left. I mean, Bill Bradley, this is
seriously left. He's trying to come a little more center,
but he's seriously left. The Republicans are too far right.
And I don't think anybody's hitting the cord. Not the
cord that I want to hear, and not the cord
that other people want to hear. And I've seen it. Plus,
I think there's a great lack of spirit in this country.
(13:24):
What's happened over the last four years is disgusting, and
I just think there's a tremendous lack of spirit. And
I think the spirit has to be brought back.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Fast forward about sixteen years. And what you hear Donald
Trump say, they're in nineteen ninety nine. It's pretty much
what he brought to the table at the Republican Party.
He changed the party from the inside out from a
neo con party to something more in line of what
he just described. That he's asked about who his running
mate might be if he chose to run in the
(13:52):
Reform Party in the two thousand election.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
You have a vice presidential candidate in mind?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Well, I really haven't gotten quite there yet. Well, it's
just I love Oprah. Oprah would always be my first choice.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Oprah.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Oprah, you're a competitor, right, you know what she's she's
really a great woman. Though she is a terrific woman.
She's somebody that's very special. I have not even thought
about it. I guess we'll see, we'll see. Maybe that's
part of the whole process.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Would shed be something, I mean kidding aside.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
That you might think if she'd do it, she'd be fantastic.
And she's popular, she's brilliant, she's a wonderful woman. I mean,
if she'd ever do it, I don't know that she'd
ever do it. She's got you ask her, she'd be
sort of like me. I mean, I have a lot
of things going. She's got a lot of things going. Forefully,
that would be a pretty good ticket. But she's a
very exceptional woman.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
This goes back to my point that I've been making,
and now I've got receipts for you. Trump and Oprah
had something of, you know, platonic romance going on. Oprah
loved Donald Trump. I remember this, maybe you remember this.
He was on her show all the time.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
He was the.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Example of success to America. You wanted to be like
Donald Trump despite all and even Jesse Jackson mentioned this, Well,
he's got a different kind of style in pizzaz those
were his words. That's true. But my point has always
been this is always who Donald Trump has been and
he hasn't changed really all that much, although everybody's turned
(15:17):
on him, and that might have changed him because at
one time he was a friend of the Clinton's.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Well makes a good president?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Well, I think the leadership qualities. You know, the sad
part about President Clinton, who I happened to like a lot,
But he could have had a great presidency if the
whole thing with Monica and Paula Jones and the worst
of all is you know Linda Tripp. I mean, this
woman where she came from. I have no idea, but
this is the woman from hell.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
But he didn't have anything to do with no, No.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He didn't, but she always seems to surface, and she's
just became a part.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Of the adventistor. Can't you say in all honesty?
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Is Reagan asked when running against Carter, haven't you done
better the last under Clinton and Donald?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
You know?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Truth is that Rubin and Alan Greenspan and you know
those appointments done his watch, and it is on his watch.
And the sad part is, and what I'm saying is
that he could have gone down as a really very good.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
And you have done well on the country's done.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I have done well, and the country's done well from
an economic standpoint, There's no question about.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
That, pretty straight sure there about the eight years of
the Clinton presidency. This is interesting though what he says
about Al Gore, and this kind of undergirds I think
while a lot of you like Donald Trump, follow him
and are loyal to him, and certainly kel kel our
own Kelly here this is where it breaks down as
to why she likes and trusts Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Well, Gore is a man that I've said before is
a very underrated man. But if he keeps going the
way he's going, which has been terrible, he's no longer
going to be underrated.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
He's doing wrong.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Nobody knows. It's just I think he's relying on too
many people. I think he probably raised too much money
and he therefore it's being taken away by too many
different consultants. I mean, everybody's got a piece of him.
If he just go back to being the regular guy
that he was, I think it do. I mean, he
got to be vice president into the United States by
being Gore, and now all of a sudden you have
fifteen people tugging on his shoulders and taking money from
(17:06):
his various contributions. I mean, if he's spent twenty million dollars,
I've spent exactly twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Less interesting because Donald Trump right there, he says it,
Al Gore, by taking all of this money in then
became beholden to the donors and the special interests and
everybody tugging him in different directions. And that's exactly what happened,
and it's exactly what doesn't happen with Trump because he's
independently wealthy. He doesn't need anybody on the inside of
(17:34):
Washington defund his campaign, and therefore he's not beholden to them,
and therefore they can't control him, therefore he scares them.
This is who he details as examples of great presidents
in our recent history.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I mean, Ronald Reagan to me was a great president.
And whether you're liberal or your conservative, people really view
him as a great president. He'll go down as a
great president. Not so much for the things he did,
just there was a demes to him in a spirit
that the country had under Ronald Reagan that was really phenomenal.
And you know, there was just a style and a
class and that's a big part of being president. I mean,
(18:09):
that's a really big part of being president. Ronald Reagan
had it. Eisenhower. Now, Eisenhower, I don't see him too
much on lists of great great presidents, but there was
a nice time in the country. The country had a prestige,
and he had a certain you demeanor. He was a
quality class act. There are certain people that have that.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
He's exactly right. You remember the Halcionic fifties, right, leave
it to Beaver and I love Lucy, And that's when
my dad was a little boy growing up, and the
auto industry was roaring in Detroit and the American economy
was and the Eisenhower developed the Interstate Highway system. It
was a good time in America for a lot of reasons.
Now that of course predated the civil rights movement and
(18:50):
acts that needed to happen, but the fifties in a
lot of ways were unprecedented success in the history of
the United States, and Eisenhower deserves that credit. He also
talks about Ronald Reagan again these aspirational terms. He's right,
you have the soaring rhetoric, this feeling. It's mourning in
America again with Ronald Reagan. This is why I revere
(19:11):
Reagan as the greatest president of my lifetime. It's not close.
There's not a close second. I would say Donald Trump,
if he wins reelection to a second term, has a
chance to be a pretty solid second on that list.
But Reagan in the eighties, even the Democrats, even the media,
they couldn't help.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
But like him.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He was that effusive with his charm, his charisma, his
way of dealing with the media. He was swift, he
was smooth. He was underrated as an intellect, he was
really keen. He could perform. He was an actor, obviously,
but he was a very smart individual. And Ronald Reagan,
of course helped bring down the Soviet Union, there's no
(19:49):
two ways about it. And then Donald Trumps acts again.
This is a nineteen ninety nine interview twenty five years
ago with Larry King about what it means to be
a great president. This is interesting too.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Parot told us back in ninety two the kind of
president he would be if elected, that he would be decisive,
he would be uninterested in pomposity, He would be at
work at eight o'clock in the morning. These are things
he would do. He didn't like, not a big ribbon
cutter kind of president.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
With Donald Trump be well, again, all those things are fine,
but you know, again, you go back to Reagan and
there is a certain pomposity and there was a certain
ribbon cutting stature that is important for the president. I
think that the you know, the whole style and look
of him was just really.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Are you saying that's the kind of person you want.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
To Well, I don't say that, and I don't like
to be compared to anybody, and maybe he would be
unfair to them, To be honest with you, but the
president has to be a great leader, and you have
to lead by example. But you need leadership in this
country and we're just not having it right now.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
There was a definite humility in the second part of
that comment about Trump and his reverence for Reagan, that
he didn't necessarily want to be compared to Reagan, that
it wouldn't be fair to Reagan, but that he knows
that this image is overarching feeling that Reagan was to
establish develop in the United States again from a time
that was dark in the seventies, when we didn't feel
great about ourselves with Jimmy Carter as president. You know
(21:08):
what helped turn that around was one the election of
Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty two. Quite frankly, the miracle
on Ice made us believe in America again, that we
could defeat this mighty Red Army Soviet Union team in
the ultimate underdog story. That's America right there. And Ronald
Reagan made us believe in ourselves again. We had confidence
as Americans through the eighties. Our economy boom, pop culture boomed.
(21:30):
There was a reason for that. There was an ethos
to the eighties excess equaled success. And Donald Trump was
the embodiment of that, the personification of that. This is
what I cannot wrap my head around. That so many
people have such hatred for this man, when at one
time he was the gold standard for success in America.
(21:52):
And I have not forgotten that too many other people have.
Donald Trump is who he is, He is who he's
always been. And you just heard it right there twenty
five years ago a break in. We're back the wildfires
here in and around Colorado. Rob Dawson reporting on those
live for KOA. He will join us next with an
update after this bottom of the hour timeout. Ryan schooling
(22:13):
with you on six point thirty ko One of the
comforts of home that is really truly remarkable development in
American history is air conditioning. It's why the population in
the South grew as much as it did through the
latter part of the twentieth century, and why we've come
to where we can't really experience life without it, and
(22:36):
it is a life of privilege, and we look forward
to those times. But if your air conditioning is on
the fritz, you know what that's like. It's not very comfortable,
and you want to get a new one, but you
want to get it at the best possible price. So
I turn your attention to Master Services the guaranteed lowest
price they'll get to you into a brand new air
conditioning unit, tax and labor included. Total costs starting under
(22:57):
three thousand dollars. That's for residential. They handle commercial. Two.
They'll come on out. They'll give you a free estimate
on site. You've got an initial estimate from somebody else,
you want to have Master Services, come on, I'll give
you that second in opinion. They'll beat that price and
nobody else will. You won't need a third opinion. Give
them a call at seven two oh four thirty four
thirty four oh six and just have a conversation about
(23:19):
what you might need, what you think you need, You're
not sure, but they're going to talk to you and
they're going to talk you through that process. Very customer
focused at Master Services. And you can find out more
online Master Router dot Plumbing. That's Master Router dot Plumbing
for Master Services, and you can tell them. Ryan sent
you texts five seven, seven, three nine, start those Ryan.
(23:43):
But you may have seen posts on Facebook or encountered
this yourself firsthand, the wildfires that have been spreading throughout
here in Colorado, and our reporter in the field with
the very latest on this. He is reporting from Jeff
co last time I checked, but who knows. Got to
catch up. Rob Dawson and Koa. He joins us now live, Rob,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Hey Ryan, Yes, thank you, and we're in We're sill
in Jefferson County. We're at Wadsworth Boulevard and Deer Creek Canyon.
We've got a great view of the quarry fire here.
The smoke just continues to pour from the top of
the ridge that we're looking at. But more of an
important location and what has drawn some people to come
(24:26):
and watch is the frequency of the planes and the
aircraft more helicopters here. But the helicopters are flying over
Wadsworth Boulevard and they're landing in the chapter to the reservoir,
picking up water and then going back to the fire.
So you might hear a helicopter here in a couple
of minutes, because I think one is on the reservoir
(24:47):
right now picking up water.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Now, Rob, I'm not sure if this was in jeff
co or somewhere else, but there have been reports of
fatalities and or injuries. Can you give us an update
on that, and also, most importantly, if either are residents
areas that are in danger right now.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, and all three fires there are residential areas in danger.
The information that we have is that the one depth
so far has been in Lions at that wildfire in
Boulder County. Yeah, we should also say that a fourth
wildfire has been recorded near Gross Reservoir, also in Bolder County.
So you got two in Bolder, one en Wirremer that's
(25:25):
the one near Level, and then one down here the
Quarry fire. But in all of those cases, and I
think even in the fourth one too, although it is
not confirmed, but at least for the first three, there
are definitely people that have been evacuated.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Rob Dawson KOA joining US Live for the report on
the wildfires here in Colorado. He says, there is a
talk of a fourth wildfire. We know Rob that sometimes
conditions are right or I guess I should say wrong
for a fire to begin, whether that's extreme dry conditions,
extreme heat, et cetera. The fact that all these are
starting around the same time. What would be the e
(25:59):
x explanation for that if you've gotten any from officials?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
No explanation other than the fact that of a level
and fire which I was at yesterday, which is called
the Alexander Mountain. By the way, I got a fire
truck here about here that's unrelated. Yeah, probably unrelated right now,
but it's causes surrem wadging boulevard as it's trying to
get through. And actually, by the way, I'm watching the
helicopter leave, this one seems to go further away from us.
(26:23):
We have more of a military style one that seems
to want to go directly above us, So this one
isn't going to quite fly over us here. But the
Alexander Mountain fire is under investigation. The way they said
it made it seem like it could be nefarious, but
I'm not sure. You just got that sense when you
were out there that they just simply said it's under investigation,
(26:47):
no cause yet. But whether it was natural or not.
The problem is is these conditions that you mentioned are
just really bad together. You know, it's funny the wind
is any and that's sure on even where we are
it's light. But the problem is any wind with the
combination of the dryness and I think I saw humidity
(27:08):
at sixteen percent where I was on my phone think
level and had nine percent humidity yesterday.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
It's just not good.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
There's not enough moisture, and these wildfires grow at night,
which is problematic. Usually they have a lot of fire
activity during the day, but if you're getting activity at
night too, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Rob Dawson live of via Koa and joining us here
on six point thirty K how the report on the
wildfires in jeff Co. Final question, Rob, appreciate your time
and all the hard work you're doing out there. Do
we have an update on how many acres have been
burned if they feel confident about blunting these fires? Are
there any evacuation orders that are in effect right now
(27:47):
or might be soon.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
The only two fires that I know about acres specifically
at the top of my head because I think the
lines when they have updated slightly, I know it's about
sixty seven hundred and sixty eight hundred acres of burned
and the Alexander Mountain fire the last that I heard
at the fire that I'm at, and again these numbers changed.
They're trying to get some infrared mapping up here. I
(28:09):
heard two hundred acres the last hour, but I know
they were also about to give an update to victims only,
so the media was not involved in that that number
could change. And the only thing that I would take
away here. First of all, I think in all these wildfires,
there's sense of how tup it's going to be. In
the Alexander Mountain fire, which I heard the press conference
earlier on KOA while I was here in Jefferson County.
(28:33):
You just said that the fire investigators, it's not like
they're panicking. It's not like they're giving up hope. They're
very hopeful people. They want to do this. They have
the skills to do the best they can. But one
of the problems is they're mentioning that they need to
preserve human safety first, so if the fire conditions are
too extreme, they can't get all the tools possible to
(28:56):
risk the firefighters lives as well. So hearing that it
makes it seem like when when they keep saying we
need rain, we need rain. Yeah, the best chance for
rain might be Friday. It might be Friday. It also
might not fall where these fires are. We'll have to
see you and wait. But that's where I get a sense,
uh from fire crews is uh, you know they're not
(29:18):
They're never gonna I think, come out and panic and
that they can't do something. But I also feel like
they know that this is this is a tough one here.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And then all in all these ones and then finally
Rob evacuation orders for anybody in the living area there.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Where I'm at right now.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Or anywhere I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Oh yeah, I mean all of the all of the
fires have some evacuations zones. I was at the Jepco
evacuation zone. Uh that the Coda Ridge High School. People
are filing in slowly. A lot of dogs with this one.
There were more way larger animals and Loveland. But yeah,
evacuation zones all over the place.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Okay, So stay tuned for the very latest on these wildfires.
Rob Dawson doing yeoman's work out there in the field
and joining us live for a few minutes here, Rob,
thank you again, and we'll keep in touch on this
and follow it going forward.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
All right, great, thank you, all right, Rob.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Dawson, KOA news right there. We'll take a time out,
come back, wrap up with your text five seven seven
three nine, start them Ryan after this time out on
six point thirty KML.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
You're sure, Yes, it wasn't a space lacer. No, it
wasn't a murder hornet, absolutely not. It wasn't sasquatch, no center.
It was a bullet. It was a bullet, Senator fired
by crooks. Yes, sir, did he hit President Trump in
(30:49):
the year and almost kill him? Okay, glad, we'll cleared
that up now.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
It was funny but necessary. Senator John Kennedy, of course,
he's a classic. I love the guy making sure that
in the hearing, a Senate hearing, there that FBI Deputy
Director paul A bat confirmed that it was indeed a
bullet that struck the ear of Donald Trump. Because you know,
for all these people who look on us with such condessential,
the conspiracy theorists, so the right and Quelenon and Project
(31:17):
twenty twenty five, these people have come out of the
woodwork with their Trump Arrangement syndrome, thinking, ohs a ricochet
or a piece of glass from the teleprompter. You know,
they want to invent this theory so that somehow they
can blunt the momentum of Donald Trump, fist in the air,
(31:38):
flagged behind him, secret Service protecting him. That iconic image
which for a time, I'm not sure if it's been remedied.
You couldn't even search for it on the Facebook platforms.
Google has silenced it you go to search on Google
Trump assassination attempt or assassination attempt tru it, says Truman.
It doesn't show Trump at all. They're trying to memory
(32:00):
hole this. Don't let them the other part of this.
I want to get in real quickly. This is Kamala Harris,
and don't let her fool you or I know she
won't fool you, but the general public, We've got to
keep hammering these points. These were her positions, These are
her positions.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
When I was Attorney General, I learned that the California
Department of Corrections, which was a client of mine I
didn't get to choose my clients.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
A client of the Attorney General.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
A client of the Attorney General of the Office of
Attorney General, that they were standing in the way of
surgery for prisoners. And there was a specific case. And
when I learned about the case, I worked behind the
scenes to not only make sure that that transgender woman
got the services she was deserving. So it wasn't only
(32:49):
about that case. I made sure that they changed the
policy in the state of California so that every transgender
inmate in the prison system would have acts to the
medical care that they desire and need, and I believe
it was not only that I know it was historic
in California, but I believe actually it may have been
one of the first, if not the first, in the
(33:11):
country where I pushed for that policy in a Department
of Corrections.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
So a convicted murderer who claims to be trans maybe
is trance, I don't know, wants to have the surgery.
You're going to pay for it in California, and that'll
go nationwide. She was running hard to her left in
the twenty twenty campaign, trying to outflank Bernie Sanders and
Elizabeth Warren. These are the policy positions she has stated
on the record, and that she is enforced in the
state of California as the attorney General. Don't let her
(33:39):
duck or hide from this. Also, she supports putting biological
males in female prisons, including biological males convicted of rape,
so that a woman in prison serving a sentence has
to live in that constant fear that a convicted rapist
with the penis could rape them in prison. As well,
she supports that. Here's another position that she supports.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
And as of twenty nineteen, well, Kamala Harris enthusiastically supported reparations.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Take a look, should black people get reparations?
Speaker 9 (34:12):
I think there has to be some foreigner reparations and
we can discuss what that is. But look, we're looking
at more than two hundred years of slavery. We're looking
at almost one hundred years of Jim craw We're looking
at legalized.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
Segregation and in fact, segregation.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
On so many levels that exist today based on race,
and there has not been.
Speaker 8 (34:42):
Any kind of intervention.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Uh oh, an intervention. We need segregation now in what form?
Define that also reparations? How would that work? Let's take
Kamala Harris herself, her father Jamaican, her mother from India.
Neither were descendants of slaves. In fact, Kamala's father has
cautioned her against this particular tack. So does she get
half of the reparations? Does the Indian side have to
(35:05):
pay the black side of Kamala Harris? What about somebody
that's one quarter black? Do they only get a quarter
of the reparations? This is a nonsense stance. Trump needs
to hammer Kamala on policy, and if she tries to
waffle or flip flop, then you call her out and
say She's not a serious person and she shouldn't be
taken seriously. He has her checkmated on the chessboard on
(35:27):
policy alone. Hammer her on policy, and Trump wins. Stay tuned.
