Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caples 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. I just had
the funniest flashback. Good to see it, right, Jesus been
remote in trial prep. From the trial prep, Kevin had

(00:21):
to come back for a TROUTEAM meeting. So working out
of the basement today, and just great to see you
and Kelly in person.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, Sayer sore. I.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
You guys must both be going to the spa or something, right,
getting a little work done. What's the story?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, I don't know about that. What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
You both look like going you're years younger and off
the cover of a magazine. I mean, yeah, maybe it's
just that I've been looking at wild animals, that's true. Yeah,
that's about all I see up there. But no, you
look great? And what women farrel? What is that word mean?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Farrell like a wild?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh? Wild like? Okay. Isn't it funny that I didn't
know what that word meant?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well now you do?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, thank you? Ryan must have the best vocabulary of
anybody I know. But Kelling you that word too. He's smart, Pharaoh.
I'm just writing it down. I can't think of a
way to use it like in court right now, but
I'll think about it. Three or three someone three eight
two five five takes d a N five seven seven three.
I had this funny flashback. Probably won't be funny to

(01:22):
anybody else unless he used to listen to Capitalists and Silverman,
which Craig and I had the greatest radio partner. You
could imagine a guy named Craig Silverman, and we would
disagree about lots of things, less in the end, but
lots and lots of things. So he and it would
get intense. You know, we could get angry during breaks,
but always part friends and you know, families got together.

(01:44):
We had great times. But he would get so mad
if somebody's calling him just as the show with his start,
and he's don't they know I have a radio show,
and I have to say no, Craig. They probably don't, right,
because you know how it is whatever job you do,
But when you happen to do this job, a radio show,
you just you know, you're so focused on you assume
everybody knows you do a radio show, and the truth

(02:04):
is a fast majority of people do not, and they're
probably better off for it. Three all three seven one
three eight two five five text d A N five
seven seven three nine. Lots of fun stuff to get
into today, some that's not that fun, but really important,
and so I think we have to do it. But
I do want to just throw this out there. We
try to have at least one thing in each show

(02:26):
that's overarching, and you know, it's just kind of a
community project and we plug into it anytime during the show.
But I would love your suggestions on, you know, spending
off Friday's conversation, what we can all do together to
help do Better Denver. And if you're not familiar with that,
I won't give you the whole spiel, but it's this

(02:47):
sight on x Ryan. What's the technical term you had
reprimanded me after the show on Friday, which I'm sure
I deserved, but you are correcting me. It's not a website,
it it is. It's a handle hand you're following their
handle at at do Better Denvers. So it exists, right,
It exists digitally on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Out there in the either.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yes, yes, but I don't know the people behind it.
I wish I did. I wish I could interview somebody
in their So I can't sit here and say, hey,
I know X and greatest guy or Gale in the
world and everything they ever do is accurate. I can't
say that in the truth about any outlet right. Anybody
who's reporting anything, no matter what box you want to
put them into or label you want to put on them,

(03:29):
is it's never going to be perfect. Now, the difference
is you have those who are out there getting information
in the community who work very hard to make it accurate,
and then you just get the human factor that no
human endeavor is perfect, and so every now and then
they miss something, and then you get those putting information
out to the public that no, it's dishonest, and that's

(03:52):
what they're trying to do. They're trying to mislead, et cetera. Now,
my impression of do Better Denver, not knowing anybody behind it,
is that we're doing a great service and they have
a lot of stuff in there that rings true to me.
I don't sit around trying to independently verify it. So
my takeaway, one guy, is that do better Denver is
really valuable because it is folks in the community documenting

(04:14):
really the massive failings of the Johnston administration and Democrat
policies in general in Denver. That's a big deal. I
think anybody who cares about people, anybody who cares about
this city and state Denver, I think would really applaud
what do Better Denver is doing. And as we talked
about it at length Friday, obviously that the Democrats don't,

(04:36):
the Constant administration doesn't because their failures are brought to
life on do Better Denver. So then you get this
hit piece on the group that really went so far
over the line, right, because I'm not talking about a
legal line, so far over the journalistic line, I think
the decency line. When they're outing just three private women

(04:57):
talk about the war and women. They're just outing three
private women who are submitting to the site. And it
appears to me from the article the way they quote
busted these three ladies just contributing to the site is
that they traced back public records requests to identify these people.
So it to me that speaks very highly of these

(05:17):
three women who get outed in the story. Because if
you're going to the trouble to do public records request.
It tells me that you're trying to be responsible and
do the hard work and get the accurate information right,
as opposed to many on the left to just sit
around and smoke whatever they smoke and toke whatever they
tooke and then make stuff up. So anyway that this

(05:37):
do better Denver way I look at it is if
the left is so angry at it that they do
this kind of way over the line and very dangerous
and in my opinion hit piece dangerous physically and in
terms of other precedent, then do better. Denver must be
doing really good things. So one question I have for
you is what can we all do if you're so inclined.

(05:59):
I hope you are to help do better Denver. Now
obviously follow them right, which I do, But what can
we do in terms of submitting stuff? Because one of
the things I like about this site, and Ryan you
probably you follow all this stuff on x more closely
than I do, it appears it that the engine of
the site is kind of community input, you know, community contribution,

(06:22):
people just sending in videos, sending in stories, et cetera.
And so how do we go about doing that? Three
or three someone three A two five five takes d
a N five seven seven three nine. Not like that's
our whole topic today, No, but it is something i'd
like to talk about throughout the show because they've got,
I think, an extraordinarily important mission because the only way

(06:43):
it's going to get better is to expose the full
magnitude of the awfulness, right, and then that helps create
the public energy and momentum to make it better. I'm
not saying it's that easy, but it's got to happen.
So Ryan, what what do we do? From the technical end?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
It too helpful because I've reached out. In fact, this handle,
this account on X follows me, and I've had a
couple of direct message exchanges with an individual running the
account I don't know, but apparently allegedly according to never
Post article that try to dox these people, it's three
women that we know of, and maybe there's more that

(07:20):
contribute to it. And I was trying to invite one
of them on the radio, either with yourself or me
or both. And the problem is that even just voice recognition,
this person feels like maybe identifiable. Oh we can get
one of those machines, right, Yeah, yeah, kind of garble

(07:41):
the voice.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
But what I do know is you ever see that
TV clip. There's a lot of them where they were
doing it and then all of a sudden they botched
it and it just revealed who it was.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
But apparently Jimmy Sangenberger scored a print interview and he'll
be publishing that in the Denver Gazette tomorrow. I'll be
talking about that. If you want, I can to have
him join you tomorrow. Maybe, Well, what I.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Want to do, and I'd love Jimmy. I was like
talking to jim But what I'm looking to do is
figure out how do we submit stuff to them? Right, Like,
I saw something and do better Denver today? And this
is sad. I'm not making fun of the guy. This
is what leftist policies create. But a guy you have
to assume is a drug addict naked in the middle
of traffic playing with one of those little kiddie pools.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
So I think most people listening probably have had the
experience of driving through Denver and seeing something from that genre.
And so what I'm wondering is, Okay, if you capture
a video or if you have a tip, how do
you submit it because I love the idea of having
something like do Better Denver where the community can all
submit that evidence, just an evidence gathering evidence reporting outlet.

(08:55):
Do you know technically how we do that?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I mean I can send them messages on the account.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
So let's say somebody right now saw another unfortunate situation
like the one I just described, would they just direct message?

Speaker 2 (09:11):
A lot of times it is crowdsource and that you know,
somebody knows what do Better Denvers doing, what kind of
their mission is as you stated it, and they'll just
send them something. It comes from other conservative accounts that
I follow online there, and we're all kind of part
of the same group. I guess you would say, well.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
And if you're with two Better Denver, please let us know.
Let us give the people an easy way to send
you stuff so that we can do more of this
crowdsourcing as Ryan says, and support the mission. Three h
three seven, one, three eight two five five text D
and five seven seven through nine. When we get back
Alan Dershowitz and we had one of the most epic

(09:49):
knockdown dragouts I think in radiohistory on the show. We
blew out commercials for a full hour. You know just
to do it and I got to you know, know
each other over the course of all these convers stations
and became you know, he was just a great guest
over time. And he said something today so whack so crazy.
I've got to hear from you what you think he's thinking.

(10:12):
What's his play here? He's a very very smart guy.
Why did he say what he said about Epstein? You're
on the Dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Glad you are here. That's sounded like football season music.
But it's starting to feel like that, right wow. I
mean hard to believe. We're already like into August. Lots
to do jump in anytime. As you know, you can
text d A N five seven seven three nine, which
I understand most people do these days. I'm gonna throwback
love the calls three all three seven one three eight
two five five the number, good news, good news, prayers answer.

(10:47):
Jared Polis is alive and physically well. He appeared on
a national show this weekend. We'll get you some of
that sound, and it does raise the fun and interesting
question what will Jared do next? What should Governor Polis
do next? As you know, he's term limited now, so

(11:07):
he was able to parlay very effectively his money into
a seat in Congress and then the governor's office, knocking
off what would have been our first woman governor in
the process. And she would have been a lefty two,
but we would have had our first woman governor. So
what will Jared do next? And what should he three
L three seven one three A two five five text

(11:28):
d an five seven seven three nine. All right, Ellen Dershowitz, guy,
I've had on many mini times over the years. And
funny thing is, I can't even remember now what that
knockdown drag out was we had on air that time
that blew out spots for an hour. I mean, it
was so wild and so good. Management just ran the

(11:50):
entire hour without spots, and as you might guess, that
is not out in the radio business. All right, But
but dersh now says something today about Epstein that is
so crazy. I got to get your take on why
do you think he said it? Because Elman Dershowitz is
one of the smartest guys around. He said a really
dumb thing here, but intellectually, etc. And he shows it

(12:12):
often his intellectual prowess, whether I agree with the point
or not, but this is so bizarre and so on
the left field. What's going on. Number two, He was
not a trafficker.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Traffickers make money by selling and enslaving girls. What he
did is he was a selfish guy who was having
sex with all these sexual contact at least with all
these sixteen seventeen year olds, and maybe maybe lending them
to people like Prince Andrew.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
We don't know for sure.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
But he was not a trafficker in the true sense
of the word. That's why there's no client list.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
There were no clients.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
A second, that's utter madness. I know you don't need
me to point it out, and I'm sure you've thought
of things I haven't even thought of yet. But let's
start with the facts. And the facts are. The allegations
were that he was sending you know, young teenage girls,
thirteen fourteen year old girls into the malls and into

(13:13):
middle schools and in into high schools to recruit other
young girls thirteen and fourteen, and sometimes they'd be fifteen
or sixteen, but lots of thirteen and fourteen year old
girls to come to his house. And forgive me for
the graphic nature of this come to his house, take
off their clothes and massage him, not wearing any clothes,
and then he would offer people money for you know,

(13:35):
sexual acts, etc. That's how he got busted. He get
busted because a fourteen year old, as I remember the
story of fourteen year old, went to her mom, the
mom went to Palm Beach police, and then the States
started its investigation. The Feds eventually took over and then
completely morally botched it. But yeah, so no, all sorts

(13:57):
of young girls and the trafficking thing. Wait a second,
did Dersha's trying to argue that, Okay, you've not got
Epstein giving I think that was Dershowitz's words, giving these
girls to somebody like Prince Andrew or Lending or whomever,
and that's not trafficking. Wait a second, and he's got

(14:19):
to know this trafficking just means for anything of value.
We're talking in the legal sense, the moral sense. Obviously
it's trafficking, but in the legal sense, just for anything
of value. It doesn't have to be a cash exchange.
You think that that Epstein, who truly was one of
the worst monsters of the twentieth and twenty first century.
You think that Epstein was doing this out of the

(14:42):
evil of his heart alone. No, he was doing this
for something in return. I have to believe he got
something of value in return from everybody he trafficked one
of these girls to. And this gets to another bizarre
point of Dershowitz is trying to claim the guy's not
a pedophile.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Let me make two points that would be very controversial,
and you may disagree with them completely.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Jeffrey Epsley was not a pedophile. That term has a
specific meaning.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
It means people who.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Are sexually attracted to pre pubescent girls or boys that
is eleven, twelve years old.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
That why would Alan Dershowitze ever say anything like that.
You may be talking about a particular statute that defines
pedophile in a particular way somewhere, But if you're talking
about who's a pedophile, so so, a guy who goes
after and has sex with twelve year olds who are

(15:41):
through puberty is not a pedophile in Allen's world. That's
why I wonder what is going on here? Why do
you think he's saying these things?

Speaker 4 (15:49):
That's the definition of all psychiatrists and of the law.
Epstein was interested in sixteen year olds seventeen year olds.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
First of all, again factually incorrect. I won't peete what
I just said, but just go and look at the
criminal file eighteen year olds. He was a bad person,
did terrible. Wait a second, the eighteen year old. No,
here's what Epstein did, and bad is the understatement of
the millennium. What Epstein did is he had an eighteen
year old sex slave. That that's who this poor victim

(16:18):
was a sex slave, and he had called her that
he had an eighteen year old sex slave who he
brought over from Europe, and he would use that sex
slave for certain public things because that sex slave was eighteen,
and then all these other victims were under eighteen.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Terrible things.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
The word pedophile is not a correct description of.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
What he was.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Wow, why do you think Alan Dershowitz is going? There
has got to be some reason, right, three oh three
seven one three A two five five the number tex
dan five seven seven three nine.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
So what do you think?

Speaker 1 (16:58):
What's Well, let's go to Mike, especially says, since he
says he's on the western slope. Wonder if those fires
are at now? Mike, you're on the dan Kapla show. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
I did I'm not on the Western slope. I was
calling about a law enforcement officer that was really, really
believe and guided by Phil Wiser for assisting Ice with
the capture of an illegal alien criminal.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Wiser brought a civil complaint against him. But yes, of course,
thank you.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Okay, I'm not an expert of Oh no, no, all good.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
But did you see George Brockler's great point on this
this weekend? I think it was George's. I hope I'm
attributing correctly, and it was whoever made the point.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
It was that.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
This officer is now going to get in more trouble
with the law for identifying and turning in somebody here
illegally than some here illegally is going to get in
trouble with the law. Yeah, just bizarre stuff. Go ahead,
my friend. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
So my main reason was, is there something we can
do as a outrage population about the war against our
law enforcement? Is a petition that we can get going
or sign and have it presented to Phil Wiser to
put some kind of pressure on him.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Well, I love what you're doing, but there is and
it's called voter registration and voting these people out of office.
And I know you already know that, Mike, but it
really is the only way these guys don't care. You
think Phil Wiser cares about what the public think. He
doesn't even care about what most Democrats think. All he
cares about is what the big money people who are
going to get him enough money to win in the
primary think. That's all he cares about, because all these

(18:49):
Democrats believe, hey, once they win the primary, they're going
to win statewide, you know, no matter how badly they're
hurting this state. So thank you, m Mike, appreciate the call.
In the sentiment three or three seven months he ate
two to five five? Why do you think Dershowitz said
those terrible things? You're on the Dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Who was they any Harry?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
She's a registered Republican? Oh now I love her ad?

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
As Sidney Sweeton did he say?

Speaker 5 (19:23):
Ad, you'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm glad you
told me that.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her
AD is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
When I first heard it. I had to listen twice,
but he did say ad And I never would have
guessed Sidney Sweeney was a Republican. Probably should have though,
because remember we talked Friday about the fact that she
was in the robotics club like hopefully soon to be
or eventually to be Saint Kendrick Yep.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, And there was video released over the week and
of her, uh looking pretty good with a nine milimeter.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Taking shots you know who. That reminded me of am Amy.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Did I ever show you that video?

Speaker 2 (20:08):
I even show me the video, but you described them
that she's a dead on shot.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Do you think women are inherently better shooters?

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, because my mom was too. She had never fired
a gun before, but she just had a calm about it.
Was a little scary, like she's steadily boom boom boom boom,
center cut on the target.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, I wonder what that is. And you know, we
were blessed in our audience. So many people are true
gun experts. I'm not. I have a lot of them,
and i know how to use them, and I've been
well trained, but I'm not a gun expert. But I'd
love to hear from people. Are women just naturally better.
Obviously you can train up right, and but our women
just naturally better. If so, why three or three seven

(20:47):
one three eight two five five text d A N
five seven seven three nine. Yeah, with Amy, it was
uncanny and also just super appealing, but just uncanny. And
you know that the training that she was receiving and
that we were receiving was and I'd recommend this to everybody,
was just real life simulation training. So it wasn't okay,

(21:09):
stand there, you know, there's a fake guy and shoot
him in the heart. This was okay. You set up
a mock of your situation and then you train on
your in bed. You have to jump up, you grab
the gun off the night stand, and then you got
one there, and then you got one there, and then
you got one there, and she would just be prone

(21:30):
flip boom, boom boom. Three dead guys. Not easy. Another
great thing that came up in our training that highly
recommended people is train in the elements. Train in the elements.
You know, go out some winners with whoever's teaching you
some winter night when it's really unpleasant, and you know,
now you'll want to be at an outdoor range at

(21:51):
that point, I'd go out there and train under those circumstances,
not somewhere on the shooling estate. So three someone three eight,
two five five the number got a couple of Texters,
more than a couple opining on this absolute madness from Ellen,
Dershowitz and otherwise smart guy saying a Epstein's not a

(22:12):
pedophile because pedophile means preprecessing, and that he wasn't trafficking
because he was just giving these girls away. Crazy stuff
like that. So Texter Dan Dershowitz is setting the stage
for a client who may be outed as being a
party friend of Epstein, possibly a Democrat, although he has
recently become an independent, doesn't Dershowitz has been very courageous

(22:36):
on some pro conservative type issues, including obviously assisting Trump.
I think this is more likely having to do with
Ellen himself, and I don't think for a second he
did anything illegal or anything like that. That's not my point.
My guess is as more and more comes out about Dershowitz.

(22:57):
And obviously it's public record that Alan represented Dershwatz, and
I'm sorry that I represented Epstein. And again I don't
believe for a second that Dershowitz engaged in any legal activity.
That's not my point. My point is what we've been
talking about for a long time that as more and

(23:17):
more comes out from the quote Epstein files, however you
define that, you know they're going to be more and
more people who were obviously spending time with Epstein. And
maybe it has something to do with that, but whatever
it is, it's just not the Alan Dershowitz who's been
on this show over the years, you know, highly intelligent, thoughtful,

(23:38):
et cetera. I just don't know why he said those things.
Texter said Dan on dersh The lady doth protest too much?
Methinks clearly Cya his name somehow involved list or No,
he's pulling the high school. Yeah there was drinking, but
it was these other guys who showed up, not us.
Daniel great American. If I'm not mistaken that Alan Dershowitz

(23:59):
was Epstein's life at one time, wasn't he? Yes, Dan
Polis will be running for Bennett's empty seat. Interesting scenario
because one of the over our questions today is what
should Jared Polis do next? He's term limited, right, what
will he do next? And as you know, the timing
pole is out in twenty six and then Bennett's seat

(24:20):
in twenty eight. Bennett has said that since you know
he's king and waiting in his mind, that he gets
to appoint his successor, highly unlikely to be Jared Polis.
Wouldn't you think so? Then Polis would be running against
probably Jonah Goose at this point. Don't you think that's
the smart money that Bennett, if he wins the governor's office,
would then appoint Jonah Goose to the Senate seat.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Just thought something through here, and I don't think I've
allowed it to enter my consciousness or my imagination until
just now. But let's play this out. Bennett holding onto
the Senate seat, refusing to relinquish it, assuming that he's
going to win, and he's probably right. What if he's not.
What if a Republican somehow pulls it out of the
fire and wins the governor's race and then gets to

(25:04):
a point Bennett's successor, he will have totally screwed over
the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
But Bennet would still be there, right if Bennett loses,
So he's going to stay in there, right, He's gonna
And that's part of It's part of the irrogance, right,
it's it's part of the entitlement. This is his seat, right,
you do a much better impression of the of the eloquent, angryolk.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, so slice seat ted Cruise is not gonna take it, okay, d.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, yeah, no, that that that's right. So that's his plan,
right though he fully expects to win. He's got that
back up. I mean, but it just goes to everything
that's wrong, everything that's wrong in politics, everything that's wrong
with Bennett, everything that's wrong with the Democrats. It's never
about the people. It's themselves selfishly and personally. But I
have got to believe, I mean, you have Jonah Goose,

(25:53):
who's probably viewed as the most talented rising star in
the Democrat Party in Colorado right now, not just rising
arrived and Joan of Goose, you know, should really be
in that Senate seat right now, probably right and you know,
if there was any decency, true concern for the people,
et cetera. But Bennett wants to use this seat to

(26:15):
leverage people and keep them in line. So even though
my belief is he already decided if if not made
a deal, that Jonah Goose would get the appointment because
Jonah Goose lined up very quickly behind Bennett, didn't he
I don'nter saw a picture. I'm at the announcement and
an endorsement. And I'm not suggesting the Goose engaged in
anything illegal. I'm just saying, you know, real world yet

(26:36):
it's probably understood. But Bennett wants to keep everybody else
groveling and licking his boots and kissing off hoping they
get the Senate seat. So that's why he's dangling it
out there. That's the guy you want as your next
governor rights, that's the guy you want to hear and
add to that. And this isn't pejorative, It's just true.
I mean, has there anybody ever been less accomplished? Has

(26:59):
anybody ever done less with more than Michael Bennett and
this US Senate See.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, Mazy Herono Hawaii. See.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
I'm very impressed and was able to jump in because
his attention, I think is fully occupied by this woman
in the bikini and the balcony across the strees. Oh man,
We've got to close your drapes right there, my friend,
I'm gonna open them now. Three oh three seven one
three eight two five five the number text N five
seven seven three nine.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
You eight, lion, I thought you were making that up.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
You weren't. I never make anything up around you.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Remember the day I was in air and I said, Hey,
there's Air Force one out the window. Yeah, that was
I'm all over two twenty five And there was Air
Force one out the window low over two twenty five.
But it really wasn't really right because the president wasn't it.
They must have been doing some high altitude training of
some pilots there three all three seven three eight two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine. So a lot of ground we want

(28:01):
to cover in this next segment, including I'm not going
to use the guy's full title because it's blasphemous. This
radio talk show host who's really like Harry Jones or something, right,
and he calls himself charlem in the Blank or Charlemagne
the Blank, but he goes after Trump, and then Trump
goes after him very very hard. So what do you

(28:22):
make of that? And then of course the latest President
Trump on Sydney Sweeney, which is what people care about most.
You're on the Dan Capla Show.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
And now back to the Dankaplas Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh good one, Ryan, The question is are women better shooters? Anecdotally,
we think they are. We have a very large sample
size of two very similar women, Sidney Sweeney and my
wife Amy and your mom three make it three? Okay,
So yeah, Ryan's mom and so is that true? Are
women just naturally better shooters? If so, why, we've got

(28:56):
some texts coming in on that, Dan, I do like
Ryan's Ryan's Michael Bennett imitation very good. I think you
need to be our candidate for governor, just so you
could use that the whole race. Right, they think of
what you could yeah, think of what you could accomplish
that you could do like radio interviews all over the
state pretending to be Bennett.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Right, I'd have to get really dull and boodo.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
So let's say you're doing an interview. You're doing an
interview down in southern Colorado, Okay, and you're pretending you're
Michael Bennett. You want to make sure people do not
vote for him. What do you say in that interview?
The host says, Senator Bennett, what is your absolute top
priority should you become governor?

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Well, we need a lot more gun regulation and make
sure that you know, people that shouldn't have guns don't
have guns, and you know we have a process in
place where basically everybody's red flag, okay, and then you
have to work your way around that.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Well, Senator, should anybody have a gun in Colorado?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Only law enforcement?

Speaker 3 (30:03):
And in those circumstances, you know, they have to go
through training, Dan, I mean that's what they have to do.
And they can't just be you know, buying guns like
they would at a gun show or you know, across
all over the counter like you buy jelly bean jelly
bellies like Ted Cruz would.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Now, should law enforcement be able to have a gun
off duty for their own protection?

Speaker 3 (30:29):
You see, there're too many guns, Dan, Okay, they're out there,
they're proliferated. And we don't need more guns. Okay, we
need fewer guns and people with less access to those guns.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Now, Senator, is it true that if elected governor, you
plan to give guns free to criminals for people with
a criminal history.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
See, No, people shouldn't have guns, Dan, I mean, it's
not something we live in a modern society.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Okay, you don't need guns.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
See, I'm trying to help you out. I'm you're a
campaign advisor. If you're going to be running for governor
and you're gonna be down there doing radio interviews pretending
to be Bennett, then wouldn't you want to say, yes,
I want to give guns to criminals, because that's essentially
what he's doing, right, I mean, his policy is, Okay,
criminals are going to be the ones who get the
guns and get all these guns he wants to ban

(31:26):
because they don't care about our laws. So wouldn't you
want to be just more direct about that.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
We can't have Ice going around as a mob squad
and like picking people off the street. Okay, And if
the people that are here undocumented immigrants happen to have
a gun, we can't find that out, and local law
enforcement cannot cooperate with Ice.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
We can't have that.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Well, that's really good. How'd you learn to do these impersonations?

Speaker 2 (31:53):
I don't Kelly's dying. You have to become the person.
And when I watch are Bennett's mannerisms and like his mouth,
I just try to like achieve it the exact way. Yes,
and you know then that comes out.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
That's really good. You could be the next Richard Pryor
or something. Now, can you do a police. Here's Polish.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
No, I can't do it.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Here's a police. Well, you've got to keep trying. Here's
Polish doing Polish.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
I'm tempted to ask if that's you, sir.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
That's something I've looked at. I'm focused on governing my job.
I have another year and a half as governor of Colorado.
We're gonna do everything we can to make life even better.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Here here's what I don't understand. Okay, don't these people understand.
Don't these politicians understand you would have a much better
chance of winning if you were brutally honest. Just be
brutally honest. If Polish is just asked, you know, was
that CNN? Where was he doing all this if he
was gonna run for president? Oh, I haven't thought about that.

(32:49):
First thing he did. The first thing he did when
he got elected governor was registered the domain name Jared
Polis for president. He didn't look at it. It's the
first thing he did almost eight years ago when he
got elected governor. Now it was through one of his companies,
but I'm sure that's just a coincidence. Right yeah, Oh

(33:12):
my goodness. So here here's some more Governor Polis.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
So one of your fellow Democrats, Kamala Harris, who of
course was the party's nominee for president in the end
in the most recent election. She just announced she's not
going to run for governor of California, which leaves the
door open for her to potentially run for president again.
Considering what you've laid out about what Democrats need to do,
is Kamala Harris the right person to be the Democratic

(33:39):
standard bearer in twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 6 (33:41):
Well, it's about the message and what they run on, right.
I haven't talked to Kamal about what her plans are.
I think what we need is the ability to make
sure that we can build that Polis that.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Just confirms everything you've ever thought about Jared Polis. He
thinks you and me and Ryan and Kelly and everybody
except Jared and Marlin are idiots, like utter idiots. When
he says, oh no, it's about the message and what
you run on that there's not an imbecile on the

(34:12):
planet who believes that. I mean, people size up the
person who's running, but he truly believes that we're all
just absolute rick dumb morons and it's just a message. Okay,
Consultants get your focus groups, come together, come up with
some message, some bread and circus message, and then then yeah,
you're gonna win. I mean, he truly thinks that we

(34:34):
don't size up the person.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Remarkable, but that is the bubble he has lived in.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
Fifty eight percent when decisively turn our back on this
divisive Trumpian era of politics and move forward with an
era of prosperity.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
An divisive era. Trump seems to have united an awful
lot of people, right, winning twice, people who had not
quite united policeolitically together before. So that I think that's
the opposite of divisive community for the American people.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
And I think it's great that many people will hopefully
run to be able to audition to see who has
that voice and who's able to get that done and
win and of course govern effectively to improve our quality
of life.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Oh, it's like AI, isn't it. It's just like you're
on an elevator listening to AI. But it's so beautiful, poetically,
isn't it. And it's such a lesson in life. Is
he had his shot, he had his opening. He was
never going to be president, right, but he had his
shot to be relevant, And it was when Joe Biden
was obviously mentally incapacitated long before Joe Biden was forced

(35:40):
out of the race in that coup, and Jared Poulis
I said it at the time on air. Jared Poulis
could have stepped up and said all the niceties about Biden,
but clearly it's time for new generation. He could have
shown that courage and he could have earned and received
an awful lot of attention and credibility inside and outside
the Democratic Party. He didn't do it. He wouldn't do

(36:02):
it because he doesn't have that right. He's just about
using the money to keep advancing himself, not about any
big principal Ernie Hill. He'd fight and die on and
he had his opportunity, and look what happened here on
the Dan Kapla Show.
