Dan wonders aloud if New York City flirting with going off the deep end of socialism in its mayoral race may finally wake up the rest of the country on the failures and misery of this extreme leftist ideology. Will Colorado figure it out before it's beyond the point of no return?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan capless and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. So many big
things happening. We may need another hour, Ryan, can you
use your influence in the West wing and grab that
(00:20):
for us, and then you can do that third hour
because I'm going home, Okay? Three or three someone three
eight two five five the number text d A N
five seven seven three nine. Where do you want to start? Well,
let's start. How about on the world stage. President Trump
obviously pieced through strength in full bloom now right in
this very successful rating, by the way, up many more
(00:41):
let's say updated or maybe honest damage assessments coming out
today and make it clear it is what you would
expect it. It did a lot of damage, but that aside.
Clearly it has restored leverage to this president. And I'm
not saying he ever lost it, but you know you
had putin out there, given him the middle finger, Ed Zelinski,
who wasn't exactly cooperating, and so I think it was
(01:05):
very helpful in lots of different ways for the president
to show that strength with the help of a great
military in Iran. Speaking of which, and then I'll get
to the fun sound you know over at NATO. Just
one of many different exhibits that proves up, you know,
right now that the president is the leader of the world.
(01:25):
How about this headline on CNN during the break Iran
Zyatola in hiding silence since Trump announced ceasefire. Wonder why
is in hiding? Ryan? Yeah, it's it's what we talked
about when the ceasefire was announced. Right, Probably a very
high well let's say strong chance, very strong chance that
(01:49):
that Israel does not allow Ayatola Kahmeni to continue to exist. Right,
the term Israel uses is eliminated when it takes out
a terrorist opponent. And my guess is that if this
ends up happening, it will it will look like an
inside job, et cetera. But I think there's a reason
that he is in hiding. Three out three someone three
(02:10):
eight two five five takes d a n five seven
seven three nine. Other great news is the new face
of the Democratic Party in America is an avowed socialist
and actual you know, out of the closet socialist, you know,
who just just comes out and spouts all these goofy ideas.
And now he's going to be mayor of New York.
(02:32):
So where do you want to start with this? But
this is just great for Republicans everywhere. And the President
very wisely tweeted about this guy today, J D. Vance
talking about him. They want him to be the face
of the Democratic Party and he is, and I think
very fairly because this is where that party's going.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Post three prices are out of control. The cost of
eggs and milk has skyrocket. Dumb stores are even using
dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of
the day depending on what they can get away with.
It doesn't need to be this way. I'm Zarammbani and
as mayor, I will create a network of city owned
grocery stores. It's like a public option for produce. What
could go We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets
(03:11):
to city owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices,
not price gadget. These stores will operate without a profit
motive or having to pay property taxes or rent. It
will pass on those savings to you.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
What could go wrong? Socialism has worked everywhere it's been tried, right,
what could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
The Great Soviet Union fell and collapsed under the weight
of itself, largely due to the policies right there that
he advocates for. There were breadlines, which Bernie Sanders talked about,
and that's actually a good thing.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's never worked anywhere. But here's the point. And remember
i'd forgotten. Remember it really hurt Kamala Harris, and we
said so at the time when right out of the
gate she came out with price fixing, right, she came
out with the same thing, because obviously any sane person
is concerned about prices and a four ability and it
was so much worse before Trump got elected. But then
(04:04):
Harris comes out of the shoot talking about price fixing,
and that really hurt her. I mean, as we had
predicted she was going to peek in the polls and
she was going to end up losing regardless, but that,
I think, you know, stopped her rise even sooner because
Americans get it that stuff doesn't work. It does not work.
And so now that's the face of the Democratic.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Party, beautiful well, and the other thing play this out.
I mean, this obviously a caller mentioned it earlier. He
was spot on, people have not taken economics one oh
one supply and demand, how our prices arrived at.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
There's no price gouging going on.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
The producers of products want consumers to buy them, and
they're going to set the prices where they think they give, Yes,
make the most profits, but also sell the most goods.
They're not going to price themselves out of the market.
In further to that point, if this commedy decides he's
going to fix the game for the government owned gri
ghost restores, give them tax breaks, no property taxes. They're
(05:03):
set up to succeed, and that means the private enterprise
grocery stores are set up to fail.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Dan they're gonna leave, They're gonna go. Of course, he's
gonna die. And I think people get that, right. I
don't think they do well, you know. I think some
do and they're fine with that. Some don't yet and
then they'll live to see it. And in the meantime,
I think it's going to be great for states like Florida, right,
which is kind of a direct pipeline from New York.
(05:28):
As you get individuals and companies move, I think you'll
see a lot of people who will stay in New
York for now, just waiting this guy out through one
term if their roots are deep enough in New York.
But the big benefit is that he becomes the face
of the Democratic Party and emboldens Democrats. I mean, in Colorado,
we already have some Democrats who are openly call themselves
something with socialists in the name, but this will embolden
(05:50):
them to want more. And here in Colorado, don't be
at all surprised if you see a serious challenge to
John hick and Looper from the left and in the
Democrat prime areas Looper is, you know, the presumed certainly
has an incombat Democrat nominee for this US Senate race
we're in the middle of now, which nobody's paying any
(06:10):
attention to because everybody just assumes Hickylooper is going to
get re elected. But don't be surprised. Is this energy
on the socialist side of the Democratic Party, the energy
among the young which is often socialist but not always
within the Democratic Party. Yeah, yeah, don't be surprised if
you see something pop up there.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Got to stay on this grocery topic, dam because you
hungry for it. But you spoke about this and in
a very even handed way. Remember when the King super
strike was going on, and what we learned during that time,
if you'll recall, is that the profit margins for grocery stores,
change distribution, all of that is minimal. It's like one
point five percent er somewhere in that Ballparker neighborhood. There
(06:49):
is no price gouging going on. It is not happening.
That's a fallacy, that's a fraud, that's a fairy tale.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But that's what socialists and communists do, right, And this
is part of the bigger transition of the Democratic Party.
And I say this as a former Democrat that you
know it used to be. I mean, you know it
used to be. At one point it was John Kennedy's
Democratic Party.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
With a good conscience, our only sure reward, with history
the final judge of our deeds. Let us go forth
to lead the land we love, asking his blessing and
his help, but knowing that here on earth God's work
(07:36):
must truly be our own.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, they'd run him out of the Democratic Party today.
He could not be a Democratic. My broad point is
that that, okay, the people who've taken over the interest etc.
Often very money. The Democratic Party that they are far left,
they are radicals, many are socialists, or even worse, if
you can imagine that. And so the first thing that
(07:58):
they have to burn is true. You know, truth has
to become irrelevant within most of the powers in the
Democratic Party right now, truth is viewed as a sign
of weakness. Within most of the powers. In the Republican
Party is viewed as a sign of non negotiable virtue.
And so you have a Democratic Party leadership that completely
disregards truth. Right, So that ties into Ryan's point that
(08:21):
you go out there and you run on these socialist platforms,
whether you call it that or not, because whether Mike
Johnston called it that or not, what do you think
it is when he tells the world, come to Denver
and the government will get you a home. We will
get you a home. Yeah, no work requirements, nothing else.
So you just come here, the government will get you
a home. And then we go back to New York
and expanding it out from the government, you know, essentially
(08:44):
not takeover of grocery stores, but the government now setting
up its own grocery store industry. Then yeah, guess what
those other grocery stores are going to take off. Good
luck people of New York. Then it extends to housing
right through. I mean you already have summer in control.
But then it gets even worse. But wait until you
see the war when it comes to illegal immigrants, right
(09:05):
because I mean, here you've got and I have to
assume anybody who says this is anti Semitic doesn't seem
like a big leap to me. But but here you
got this guy, apparently an anti semit taking over as mayor.
And then what do you think he's going to do
when it comes to battling the government on illegal immigration.
I think you're going to see a large scale fight
(09:27):
there and the administration is just going to double and
triple down on enforcing federal immigration law in.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
New York, Am mayam'm donnie, would you welcome Prime Minister
Netanho to New York City for the.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
For whatever he comes for?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Given the US is not the signature to the ICC,
so he can travel to the US unlike a lot
of other countries with a mahamm, Donny welcome benjaminto the city.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
No, as mayor New York City would arrest Benjamin That.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yah all right? Net nyahou a hero. This guy is
zero and this is the guy you'd end up in jail?
Is Mamdanni mayor or not? Wow? Hey, when we come
back whyt to shift gears a little bit bretting closer
to home. Were you aware that we had hundreds of
young people descend on a local mall over the weekend,
(10:16):
starting these huge brawls. It's I want to get you
these details, get your take on where this comes from.
And they've targeted three other locations in the next three weeks.
I'll get you those. You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Ghost Thy prices are out of control. The cost of
eggs and milk has skyrocket. Dumb stores are even using
dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of
a day depending on what they can get away with.
It doesn't need to be this way. I'ms of ram
Mambani and as mayor, I will create a network of
city owned grocery stores.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It's like, what could go wrong? That'd be good for
New York to go on a diet? Right? Three or three?
Someone three eight two five five takes d yeah and
five seven seven three nine. Our prayers are answered. Looks
like Gary Mike is back on the line. We'll get
to him in a second text. Or Dan, are you
automatically assuming that mom Donnie is going to beat Eric
(11:13):
Adams in the election? Yes, I am my friend, really
and oh yeah, I think Adams has damaged goods at
the current odds at least. And I'm not a big
believer in all those odds, but I think it lines
up with the polling. He's got like a twenty percent
chance to win, twenty percent chance to win, our twenty
percent approval rating, no twenty percent chance to win.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Well, what if Curtis Leewell, who I adore, I think
he's fantastic, but has no chance of winning.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
He's the only Republican in the race.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
What if he were to drop out join forces with
Andrew Cuomo, they both throw their support behind Eric Adams.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Then what Well, I think you'd need more. I don't
claim to be an expert in New York poitics, but
I think you'd need more. I think you'd you'd need
a lot of people who have influence with that electorate
electorate coming in right, Yeah boy, but no, I he
asked me a fair question. That's just my take at
(12:07):
this point. I think Adams has damaged goods in the
eyes of a lot of New Yorkers. I think that
his association at this point with President Trump probably hurts
him badly in that race. I don't think this is
a race where President Trump can come in and win
it for him, not New York City mayor. And so yeah, no,
I think it's going to be the comedy or the socialist,
(12:29):
or maybe he's both. What's a good combination of socialist
and comedy. What's a good word for that? Suck me? Okay,
yeah like that? Yeah, get it the price, fix this
bot daddy. And I don't wish this on the good
people in New York, but if they're choosing it, it's
great for Republicans nationwide because he becomes a face of
the Democratic Party and inspires a lot of these Democrats
(12:52):
in Colorado to become more quote bold and just openly
push his socialist stuff and then hopefully gets slapped down here.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
From our vantage point in Colorado, and obviously we're far
to the right of the average New Yorker, you and
me and most people in our audience, But would you
say that Eric Adams has been an improvement. This might
be a backhanded compliment, and it certainly is damning with
faint praise. Is he an improvement over Build a Blasio?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Well, yeah, at least because at a certain point he
started cooperating with the administration on criminally legal.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I mean for New Yorkers, though, would New Yorkers view
Eric Adams as an upgrade?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Has an improvement over Build a Blasa? Honestly don't know.
I don't spend any time there.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
But as bad as Build a Blasio was, Yeah, and
he was terrible. Yeah, this Mandanie's got to be worse.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Right, Oh yeah, yeah, but again the sirens song right
for this coalition we're talking about, where you get a
lot of young people now they've figured it out, they
get more conservative, but you've got a lot of others
who haven't figured it out yet. They're well intentioned, but
they fall for this socialist garbage. And then you get
the ones who just want socialism of all ages. And
(13:59):
then you get some of the desperate older people who
don't want socialism, but they're financially desperate and so they'll
take some income redistribution. Yeah. I think that's his winning coalition. Hey,
Eerie Mike. We were worried about you, my friend. We
thought maybe you'd left us.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Yeah, I did for a little while, just out of
the country for a while, so not able to listen
to you.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, the iHeart app should work anywhere, but we won't
pick nets here. How you doing, what's on your mind?
What has inspired you so much that you would re engage?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Well, I pulled you up on the iHeart app. I
actually am in South Carolina today, but anyway, I did
play up an iHeart app and heard you, you know,
really defending I think you know the recent bombing in
Iran by by our forces, and maybe you can help
me educate me a little bit on you know, what
(14:52):
do you reckon was the basis of that decision from
your perspectives, given the given you know, all the information
that had been shared up until that time, you know
about their progress toward a nuclear weapon. I'm just curious,
what if you think something significant changed.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Well, I don't think it's sure to say I was
praising it. It's more accurate to say I was celebrating it.
And so I think it was beyond justified and way overdue.
Because you can't let the most dangerous terrorists in the
world have the most dangerous weapons, and every American president,
Republican democrat, has said that only Trump had the guts
to do it.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Well, okay, but what's the basis of that. Why would
you say that they were, you know, putting together an
atomic weapon.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They weren't even trying to hide it. I mean, why
would you have sixty percent enriched ur aim They weren't
even trying to hide it. How do you kill all
those nuclear scientists if they're not there?
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Well, Van, I mean, his own director of National Intelligence
said on Mark twenty seventh, if they were not putting together,
they had not made any moves toward putting together a
nuclear weapons. First of all changed in April, Mage, something
changed in ten weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well, if she said that, and she denies, that was
her full message. But if she said that, she was
something wrong. Yeah, that's the quote. Okay, Yeah, well, Mike,
you sound excited about it. Please give it to us.
We don't want to deprive you.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
No, you can look it up.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
No, you don't have the quoote. Ryan, come on, he
just said I got the quote, and I thought, okay,
this time Mike came with the quote. But you were
bluffing us, Mike, you didn't have the quote I spent
far from you.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Well, my assumption was that you and Ryan would be
good enough newspeople that you'd have if you.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Wanted, so we'd have the non existent quote to make
your point. Yeah, we're not that good. So but my friend, yes,
overwhelming evidence. They're not even trying to.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Hide it, not building a nuclear How about this streame?
Leader Kamanie has not authorized the nuclear up in program
he suspended in two thousand and three. That's the quote, Dan,
do you think Mike's.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Really in Iran?
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Are you one of the people out in the streets
waving a comedy banner while he hides somewhere? Michael, let
me ask you this. We can just end this and
you're welcome to stay the next segment. But I know
it's seven thirty where you are with this penetrating you. Well, Michael,
you've gotten some negative this penetrating question. If you knew
Iran was developing a nuclear weapon, would you support military
(17:31):
strikes to destroy that program?
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Wonderful. Kum bay Ah, my brother, Kumbaya. I'm not sure
I believe you, but hey, have a great dinner and
call us off in three or three seven three eight
two five five the number text d A N five
seven seven three nine when we come back. Anything we've
been talking about, or anything you care about, we'll talk about.
But I want to tell you about something that's gone
a bit below the radar. Hundreds of local young people
(18:00):
showing up at an area mall over the weekend to
have a big fight, and now they plan to take
it to other malls. So even if it's scheduled, what
do you think is going on? And how do you
stop it? You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Ma'am, I'm Donnie.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Will you welcome Prime Minister met and you know who
to New York City for the.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
For whatever he comes for.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Given the US as not the signature of the ICC,
so he can travel to the US unlike a lot
of other countries with a ma'am'm doney, welcome Benjamin, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Too the city No as mayor New York City would
arrest Benjamin Yaho.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
This is a city that are boy, this is going
to be fun, right. The new face, the new face
of the Democratic Party in America, Glad you're here three
or three someone three two five five the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine and a
very appropriate new face, because that really is what the
Democratic Party has become. Not most Democratic voters, not at all,
(18:58):
but the people who control well the party. Yeah, he's
just more out front about it and does it in
a more direct way. So what do you think that's
going to mean, if anything, for Colorado? By the way,
tomorrow we're going to be talking about this simple but
profound question of what would it take for Colorado to
now reject Democrats and elect Republicans statewide? What would it
(19:19):
take for that to happen? Feels like the appropriate time
to discuss it since, jeez, the Republican primaries about a
year away, right though, Ryan, I cannot remember a time
in my young life when there has been less interest in,
less buzz about, less energy surrounding two big state wide
(19:40):
races governor and US Senate, which are just a little
more than a year away. But we'll see if that
changes over time. Dad, you asked your remc if you
listen to your show on the iHeart app while he
was out of the country, Dan, I don't think the
iHeart app works in Cuba or Venezuela. Yeah, what do
you think I was disturbed by that last chat with Mike.
(20:02):
There's there seemed to be an anger there. You got it, right, Yeah, yeah,
and probably because we exposed him. But yeah, and that
wasn't pretty. That was not pretty. Dan, Florida's Attorney general,
said the alligator Alcatraz will be opening next month. That
from our friend Eric, that does not sound appealing. Do
(20:26):
you have the details on that.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Thought?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Well, yeah, the Florida Right, yeah, Kelly.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
This is a old airfield that is now kind of
in a little bit of disarray that they're building up,
and it is surrounded on all sides by everglades, which
in habits pythons, Bermese pythons because these idiots that don't
(20:57):
know how to raise snakes basically they get too big
and they dump them into the everglades. Then there's water moccasins.
Those are poisonous. Yeah, pythons suck, but you know, but
then there's alligators.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yes, right, Okay, well I got the gist. Thank you, Kelly. No,
it's you are so welcomed down. I'm here to please.
Doesn't sound like there'll be a lot of escapees from
there three or three someone three eight, two, five five,
one of the most sones CYNN inadlines ever. Trump returns
to DC as questions grow over impact of US strikes.
(21:34):
What they really mean by that is, Okay, yesterday you
had this leak out of the administration of a preliminary
damage assessment that said it wasn't that significant, and then
the administration immediately said no, that that report is preliminary,
it's not high confidence, and it's wrong. So what CNN
means by growing questions means that literally every other damage
(21:57):
assessment to come out today from this country and from
Israel says no, there was a lot of damage done.
So CNN just can't bring itself to say that, right,
you know, And maybe that's working for him, right because
and that's one of the funny things in media, right,
they don't need to get broad interest or support or credibility.
(22:18):
If CNN can drum up this narrow, small but consistent,
loyal lefty audience, or they're going to have enough ratings
to continue. So maybe maybe that's their play. Some sound
I want to get to today Bernie Sanders on Joe Rogan,
Who do you think between Bernie and AOC. Who do
you think they're going to run? I mean, between the
(22:39):
two of them, do you think they have a deal
that it's going to be Bernie or it's going to
be AOC. Why not a ticket the two of them together,
and you think she'd play second fiddle to Sure? Absolutely,
he's old enough, he might resign and then she steps
in kind of the Kamala theory. Yeah, huh. You got
to deal with this climate change issue.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
And I know that you know there are some people
think climate change is a hoax.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It ain't a hoax.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
I think the last ten years have been the warmest
on record, and we can't create millions of good paying
jobs transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel to
energy efficiency, to sold it the wind, that other sustainable energies.
Speaker 11 (23:18):
I think the climate change is just very complicated, and
I think did you see the Washington Post piece that
they wrote where they did this long term view? First
of all, the reality is that the Earth temperature has
never been static, right, we both agree on that. It's
always been up and down. There's been ice ages and
heat waves. And then the Washington Post looked at it,
(23:39):
what was the time period that they looked at that. Essentially,
they found that we're in a cooling period.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
You know, this is going to be so much fun.
Think about it. Think about who's hot on the Democrats side.
Is this nutjob socialist in New York who's probably going
to be mayor? You got Bernie, you got AOC. This
is great. Just let the world see, let democrats see
what the Democratic Party has really become. And I know
it sounds odd, but I'm just telling you man, as
(24:06):
a former Democrat, you got so many Democrats who just
don't understand how crazy their own party has become. Maybe
they're not that involved in politics every day, or maybe
they just don't want to understand. But you've got a
lot who don't, and so stuff like this, Yeah, take
it to the extreme and that's going to help open eyes.
(24:29):
So loving that there was controversy over this. Oh Ryan,
Oh my goodness, I'm going to blame you for my
failure here. Right, we've never seen that before, we really haven't.
But I promoted this and I want to get to it.
This crazy situation over the weekend where they're now talking
about more of it, this is a KUSA story. Police
(24:51):
respond after hundreds of teens swarm Denver Area shopping center.
Denver police said hundreds of teenagers descended on Northfield Mall
Sunday evening in a coordinated takeover that resulted in multiple
fights among teens. So think about this, hundreds of teens
coordinating a takeover of a mall, according to KUSA, and
(25:13):
then it turns violent. Around six pm, police said roughly
three hundred teens arrived at the shopping center, where some
began fighting in and outside of stores, entering businesses and
causing disturbances. Officers from across the city responded and worked
to disperse the group, eventually breaking up smaller clusters that
moved towards Central Park Boulevard. In forty six. While no
(25:35):
arrests were made, police said a theft was reported at
one of the businesses. It's unclear if that was connected
to the group. Advocates for youth in the city say
the incident, while disruptive, is a symptom of larger issues.
This is how they act out, said Jason McBride, longtime
mentor and youth advocate. This is how they behave when
they don't feel like anybody cares for them. Now, one
(25:58):
question I'd have is and believe me. I admire all
these people who are working in the trenches trying to
help kids, so none of this is aimed at them.
But a question I would ask is, what do you
think if you could drug test all of those three
hundred who have this coordinated descent to take over a
mall Northfields over the weekend and then to fight. What
(26:19):
do you think those drug test results would show? And
all I'm saying is you've got so many of these
they are saints, so many of these men and women
who devote themselves to trying to help these troubled teams, etc.
Well take the next step and come out and oppose
legalize marijuana. Because everybody in their right mind knows that
legalized marijuana has been horrible for Colorado's youth. This high
(26:42):
potency stuff, let alone traditional low THHC marijuana leaf marijuana,
does so much harm to these kids. Why don't we
see more of these youth advocates just stand up and say,
wait a second, we've got to reverse Amendment sixty four.
We got to get this garbage off the street. It's
(27:03):
hurting our kids so badly. But look at this that
they marketed this as an event, says the story. They
did it on their own. They produce the flyers to
get the kids out, and now they're planning more of them.
They're planning another takeover at Elitch Gardens on July tenth,
Lakeside Amusement Park on July eleven, and Town Center at
(27:24):
Aurora on July twelve. So what do you make of that?
Where do you think that comes from? And then how
do you stop it? Three h three someone three eight
two five five you can text d An five seven
seven three nine. You're on the Dankpla Show.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 12 (27:43):
We'll talk about the intelligence. This is what a leaker
is telling you. The intelligence says, that's the game these
people play. They read it and then they go out
and characterize it the way they want to characterize and
their leakers.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
This is the game they play. So that's number one.
Speaker 12 (27:55):
Number two, here's a fact, the conversion facility, which you
can't do a new good weapon without a convert and facility.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You can't.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
We can't even find where it is where it used
to be on the map.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You can't even find where it.
Speaker 12 (28:05):
Used to be because the whole thing is just blackened
out it's gone wiped it's wiped out. Then we dropped
twelve of the strongest bombs on the planet right down
the hole in two places. Everything underneath that mountain is
in bad shape. And I refer you to the statement
of the IEA, mister Grossia.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You know what he said.
Speaker 12 (28:21):
He said there was a wrong the way it looked
the day before the attack.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And what the nuclear program looks like now two very
different things. They are way.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
Behind where they were just seven days ago. Now, anything
in the world can be rebuilt, but now we know
where it is, and if they try to rebuild it,
we'll have options there as well. But all this leaker stuff,
these leakers are professional stabbers, that's what they Boy.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He's good, right, He's always been good, but he's just
getting better. Marco Rubio three or three someone three eight
two five five the number for and Alexa texted us
on this as well. You have big press conference tomorrow
morning with the Hexseth and others from Defense, and so
I expect we're going to get a lot of new intel,
probably a lot of photos, a lot of objective evidence
(29:02):
of the extent of the damage done. So let's go
back to the phone lines. Go up to beautiful Shyanne, Wyoming.
We'll start there with Rob. You're on the Dan Capitalist
You'll welcome.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Thanks Dan.
Speaker 13 (29:14):
I really enjoy your show.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I appreciate its great. Thank you.
Speaker 13 (29:18):
And I spent a lot of my time in Colorado
and lived there for about twenty five years. And my
question to you would be, do you think that the
I know people have said this, do you think that
the kind of lacks marijuana laws and enforcement, you know,
are drawing people in from other states? And one thing
(29:40):
I really don't understand about Colorado is that people seem
to be fine with having it seems that way in general,
having people pour in from all like all kinds of
other states, other countries and everything like that, when I
would think that, you know, it's causing people to have
to commute an hour hour and a half to work
and they wouldn't want that. But it's just I wanted
(30:03):
to get your.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Thoughts on Yeah, thanks man, those are great questions. There's
no question it was part of the plan to use
legalized marijuana to change the political demographic of Colorado, and
they've been very successful at that. There's no question that
has worked for them at a grave price to the
States starting with their kids. But but yeah, that was
part of the plan and it has worked for them.
(30:25):
Now is it going to work long terms as those
people grow up literally as they get older and they
start to have kids of their own and everything else?
And the last thing any sane parent would want is
their kid doing dope, right, And so is that going
to change over time? But now that has worked for them? Yes?
And do you go ahead? Please?
Speaker 13 (30:47):
Do you think so? Places like California, I've heard there's
kind of, you know, the beginnings of movements are you know,
apparently maybe in progress to try to turn it around. Yeah,
do you see that in Colorado at all? Like I've
heard this a couple of people are trying to do that.
What do you see And what hope do you have
(31:09):
for the future? I know you always want to remain hopeful.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Oh you got to. I mean it's our moral obligation, right,
It's what we're put on this planet to do, is
stop bad things, not just throw up br hands and
say that's impossible. I mean, what if the founders had
done that, right, wouldn't be so good for us? So no,
but what it's going to take realistically, the grassroots support
is there across party lines. Democrat mothers and affiliated mothers
love their children every bit as much as conservative mothers,
(31:35):
and so yeah, the grassroots support would be there, but
you need the money. That's the thing is the left
has the money. The legalized drug big industry has the money.
And so you'd need one of these gazillionaires to step
up and say, you know what, I'm a gazillionaire. I
can't take this stuff with me. This crap's killing the state.
I'm going to put up fifty million bucks to try
(31:56):
to reverse it. Without enormous money, I don't think you
can take advantage of that grassroot support. And here's the thing,
rob Without enormous money, you wouldn't have the ability to inform,
to educate the folks who haven't been dialed in. And
if they actually knew all the harm that was being
caused by this, you know, it would tip them. But
(32:17):
it takes a lot of money to get there.
Speaker 13 (32:21):
Sounds like a great breakdown of bubble the topic.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Well, thank you. I wish there was a better chance
of that kind of money appearing, but that's what I
think it would take. Thank you, my friend for your call.
Let's go to Lionel. Love that name in Leadville. Lionel
from Leadville, right place to live. If you're Lionel. Welcome
to the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Here's a great place, Dan. I'm ninety two wo I
started smoking marijuana, and when I was twenty one in
nineteen fifty four, I built a successful funeral business shoulder
when I'm retired, and I'm not going to stop. If
it became a legal I would grow it on my
property or I'd find it the older fashioned way. I'm
(33:00):
an adult, and I agree children shouldn't have it. Well,
what do you think about a ninety two year old
who was successful and healthy? I have the right to
relax at night. I don't do alcohol, Lionel, So what
would you to say to a man like me?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I would sit there and I would picture Lionel sitting
up there in Leadville getting a high at night on
his own, not jeopardizing anybody's safety, and I'd have a
smile on my face because I'd be very happy that
Lionel's happy. That wouldn't concern me one little bit, Linel.
What concerns me is setting up this industry where we
(33:35):
have more marijuana stores than Starbucks. And McDonald's combined, which
green lights it for kids, injects all this poison into
the veins of our community, harming all these kids. That's
what gets me worked up, not the thought of a
happy linel in Leadville.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
Okay, that makes me feel better because I think you're
a very intelligent man, and I just don't want people
to tell me something it doesn't harm me.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Did.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
I think actually kind of helps me focus and do
the build. Kind of nice. But hey, who, I don't
think kids should have it, but you know, an adult
I think should be able to put that in their
body if they wish, if they're not driving, and if
they're not putting anybody at harm. No.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Hey, the other thing I want to see is I
want to see you call the show all the time.
But tell me we got five seconds. Where did you
find marijuana in nineteen fifty four?
Speaker 8 (34:24):
Oh, that's your good question. They actually used to have it.
They call it brick brick we used. It was all compacted.
I don't know where it came from.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I'll do me a favorite out of time. Will you
call this show? Hey, we want to make you a
regular caller. We want you to be our correspondent from Ladville.
Great job, Brian, thank you. Kelly. Join us tomorrow. I'm
the Dan Capler Show.
This is Dan capless and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. So many big
things happening. We may need another hour, Ryan, can you
use your influence in the West wing and grab that
(00:20):
for us, and then you can do that third hour
because I'm going home, Okay? Three or three someone three
eight two five five the number text d A N
five seven seven three nine. Where do you want to start? Well,
let's start. How about on the world stage. President Trump
obviously pieced through strength in full bloom now right in
this very successful rating, by the way, up many more
(00:41):
let's say updated or maybe honest damage assessments coming out
today and make it clear it is what you would
expect it. It did a lot of damage, but that aside.
Clearly it has restored leverage to this president. And I'm
not saying he ever lost it, but you know you
had putin out there, given him the middle finger, Ed Zelinski,
who wasn't exactly cooperating, and so I think it was
(01:05):
very helpful in lots of different ways for the president
to show that strength with the help of a great
military in Iran. Speaking of which, and then I'll get
to the fun sound you know over at NATO. Just
one of many different exhibits that proves up, you know,
right now that the president is the leader of the world.
(01:25):
How about this headline on CNN during the break Iran
Zyatola in hiding silence since Trump announced ceasefire. Wonder why
is in hiding? Ryan? Yeah, it's it's what we talked
about when the ceasefire was announced. Right, Probably a very
high well let's say strong chance, very strong chance that
(01:49):
that Israel does not allow Ayatola Kahmeni to continue to exist. Right,
the term Israel uses is eliminated when it takes out
a terrorist opponent. And my guess is that if this
ends up happening, it will it will look like an
inside job, et cetera. But I think there's a reason
that he is in hiding. Three out three someone three
(02:10):
eight two five five takes d a n five seven
seven three nine. Other great news is the new face
of the Democratic Party in America is an avowed socialist
and actual you know, out of the closet socialist, you know,
who just just comes out and spouts all these goofy ideas.
And now he's going to be mayor of New York.
(02:32):
So where do you want to start with this? But
this is just great for Republicans everywhere. And the President
very wisely tweeted about this guy today, J D. Vance
talking about him. They want him to be the face
of the Democratic Party and he is, and I think
very fairly because this is where that party's going.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Post three prices are out of control. The cost of
eggs and milk has skyrocket. Dumb stores are even using
dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of
the day depending on what they can get away with.
It doesn't need to be this way. I'm Zarammbani and
as mayor, I will create a network of city owned
grocery stores. It's like a public option for produce. What
could go We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets
(03:11):
to city owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices,
not price gadget. These stores will operate without a profit
motive or having to pay property taxes or rent. It
will pass on those savings to you.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
What could go wrong? Socialism has worked everywhere it's been tried, right,
what could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
The Great Soviet Union fell and collapsed under the weight
of itself, largely due to the policies right there that
he advocates for. There were breadlines, which Bernie Sanders talked about,
and that's actually a good thing.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's never worked anywhere. But here's the point. And remember
i'd forgotten. Remember it really hurt Kamala Harris, and we
said so at the time when right out of the
gate she came out with price fixing, right, she came
out with the same thing, because obviously any sane person
is concerned about prices and a four ability and it
was so much worse before Trump got elected. But then
(04:04):
Harris comes out of the shoot talking about price fixing,
and that really hurt her. I mean, as we had
predicted she was going to peek in the polls and
she was going to end up losing regardless, but that,
I think, you know, stopped her rise even sooner because
Americans get it that stuff doesn't work. It does not work.
And so now that's the face of the Democratic.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Party, beautiful well, and the other thing play this out.
I mean, this obviously a caller mentioned it earlier. He
was spot on, people have not taken economics one oh
one supply and demand, how our prices arrived at.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
There's no price gouging going on.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
The producers of products want consumers to buy them, and
they're going to set the prices where they think they give, Yes,
make the most profits, but also sell the most goods.
They're not going to price themselves out of the market.
In further to that point, if this commedy decides he's
going to fix the game for the government owned gri
ghost restores, give them tax breaks, no property taxes. They're
(05:03):
set up to succeed, and that means the private enterprise
grocery stores are set up to fail.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Dan they're gonna leave, They're gonna go. Of course, he's
gonna die. And I think people get that, right. I
don't think they do well, you know. I think some
do and they're fine with that. Some don't yet and
then they'll live to see it. And in the meantime,
I think it's going to be great for states like Florida, right,
which is kind of a direct pipeline from New York.
(05:28):
As you get individuals and companies move, I think you'll
see a lot of people who will stay in New
York for now, just waiting this guy out through one
term if their roots are deep enough in New York.
But the big benefit is that he becomes the face
of the Democratic Party and emboldens Democrats. I mean, in Colorado,
we already have some Democrats who are openly call themselves
something with socialists in the name, but this will embolden
(05:50):
them to want more. And here in Colorado, don't be
at all surprised if you see a serious challenge to
John hick and Looper from the left and in the
Democrat prime areas Looper is, you know, the presumed certainly
has an incombat Democrat nominee for this US Senate race
we're in the middle of now, which nobody's paying any
(06:10):
attention to because everybody just assumes Hickylooper is going to
get re elected. But don't be surprised. Is this energy
on the socialist side of the Democratic Party, the energy
among the young which is often socialist but not always
within the Democratic Party. Yeah, yeah, don't be surprised if
you see something pop up there.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Got to stay on this grocery topic, dam because you
hungry for it. But you spoke about this and in
a very even handed way. Remember when the King super
strike was going on, and what we learned during that time,
if you'll recall, is that the profit margins for grocery stores,
change distribution, all of that is minimal. It's like one
point five percent er somewhere in that Ballparker neighborhood. There
(06:49):
is no price gouging going on. It is not happening.
That's a fallacy, that's a fraud, that's a fairy tale.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But that's what socialists and communists do, right, And this
is part of the bigger transition of the Democratic Party.
And I say this as a former Democrat that you
know it used to be. I mean, you know it
used to be. At one point it was John Kennedy's
Democratic Party.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
With a good conscience, our only sure reward, with history
the final judge of our deeds. Let us go forth
to lead the land we love, asking his blessing and
his help, but knowing that here on earth God's work
(07:36):
must truly be our own.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, they'd run him out of the Democratic Party today.
He could not be a Democratic. My broad point is
that that, okay, the people who've taken over the interest etc.
Often very money. The Democratic Party that they are far left,
they are radicals, many are socialists, or even worse, if
you can imagine that. And so the first thing that
(07:58):
they have to burn is true. You know, truth has
to become irrelevant within most of the powers in the
Democratic Party right now, truth is viewed as a sign
of weakness. Within most of the powers. In the Republican
Party is viewed as a sign of non negotiable virtue.
And so you have a Democratic Party leadership that completely
disregards truth. Right, So that ties into Ryan's point that
(08:21):
you go out there and you run on these socialist platforms,
whether you call it that or not, because whether Mike
Johnston called it that or not, what do you think
it is when he tells the world, come to Denver
and the government will get you a home. We will
get you a home. Yeah, no work requirements, nothing else.
So you just come here, the government will get you
a home. And then we go back to New York
and expanding it out from the government, you know, essentially
(08:44):
not takeover of grocery stores, but the government now setting
up its own grocery store industry. Then yeah, guess what
those other grocery stores are going to take off. Good
luck people of New York. Then it extends to housing
right through. I mean you already have summer in control.
But then it gets even worse. But wait until you
see the war when it comes to illegal immigrants, right
(09:05):
because I mean, here you've got and I have to
assume anybody who says this is anti Semitic doesn't seem
like a big leap to me. But but here you
got this guy, apparently an anti semit taking over as mayor.
And then what do you think he's going to do
when it comes to battling the government on illegal immigration.
I think you're going to see a large scale fight
(09:27):
there and the administration is just going to double and
triple down on enforcing federal immigration law in.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
New York, Am mayam'm donnie, would you welcome Prime Minister
Netanho to New York City for the.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
For whatever he comes for?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Given the US is not the signature to the ICC,
so he can travel to the US unlike a lot
of other countries with a mahamm, Donny welcome benjaminto the city.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
No, as mayor New York City would arrest Benjamin That.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yah all right? Net nyahou a hero. This guy is
zero and this is the guy you'd end up in jail?
Is Mamdanni mayor or not? Wow? Hey, when we come
back whyt to shift gears a little bit bretting closer
to home. Were you aware that we had hundreds of
young people descend on a local mall over the weekend,
(10:16):
starting these huge brawls. It's I want to get you
these details, get your take on where this comes from.
And they've targeted three other locations in the next three weeks.
I'll get you those. You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Ghost Thy prices are out of control. The cost of
eggs and milk has skyrocket. Dumb stores are even using
dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of
a day depending on what they can get away with.
It doesn't need to be this way. I'ms of ram
Mambani and as mayor, I will create a network of
city owned grocery stores.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It's like, what could go wrong? That'd be good for
New York to go on a diet? Right? Three or three?
Someone three eight two five five takes d yeah and
five seven seven three nine. Our prayers are answered. Looks
like Gary Mike is back on the line. We'll get
to him in a second text. Or Dan, are you
automatically assuming that mom Donnie is going to beat Eric
(11:13):
Adams in the election? Yes, I am my friend, really
and oh yeah, I think Adams has damaged goods at
the current odds at least. And I'm not a big
believer in all those odds, but I think it lines
up with the polling. He's got like a twenty percent
chance to win, twenty percent chance to win, our twenty
percent approval rating, no twenty percent chance to win.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Well, what if Curtis Leewell, who I adore, I think
he's fantastic, but has no chance of winning.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
He's the only Republican in the race.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
What if he were to drop out join forces with
Andrew Cuomo, they both throw their support behind Eric Adams.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Then what Well, I think you'd need more. I don't
claim to be an expert in New York poitics, but
I think you'd need more. I think you'd you'd need
a lot of people who have influence with that electorate
electorate coming in right, Yeah boy, but no, I he
asked me a fair question. That's just my take at
(12:07):
this point. I think Adams has damaged goods in the
eyes of a lot of New Yorkers. I think that
his association at this point with President Trump probably hurts
him badly in that race. I don't think this is
a race where President Trump can come in and win
it for him, not New York City mayor. And so yeah, no,
I think it's going to be the comedy or the socialist,
(12:29):
or maybe he's both. What's a good combination of socialist
and comedy. What's a good word for that? Suck me? Okay,
yeah like that? Yeah, get it the price, fix this
bot daddy. And I don't wish this on the good
people in New York, but if they're choosing it, it's
great for Republicans nationwide because he becomes a face of
the Democratic Party and inspires a lot of these Democrats
(12:52):
in Colorado to become more quote bold and just openly
push his socialist stuff and then hopefully gets slapped down here.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
From our vantage point in Colorado, and obviously we're far
to the right of the average New Yorker, you and
me and most people in our audience, But would you
say that Eric Adams has been an improvement. This might
be a backhanded compliment, and it certainly is damning with
faint praise. Is he an improvement over Build a Blasio?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Well, yeah, at least because at a certain point he
started cooperating with the administration on criminally legal.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I mean for New Yorkers, though, would New Yorkers view
Eric Adams as an upgrade?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Has an improvement over Build a Blasa? Honestly don't know.
I don't spend any time there.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
But as bad as Build a Blasio was, Yeah, and
he was terrible. Yeah, this Mandanie's got to be worse.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Right, Oh yeah, yeah, but again the sirens song right
for this coalition we're talking about, where you get a
lot of young people now they've figured it out, they
get more conservative, but you've got a lot of others
who haven't figured it out yet. They're well intentioned, but
they fall for this socialist garbage. And then you get
the ones who just want socialism of all ages. And
(13:59):
then you get some of the desperate older people who
don't want socialism, but they're financially desperate and so they'll
take some income redistribution. Yeah. I think that's his winning coalition. Hey,
Eerie Mike. We were worried about you, my friend. We
thought maybe you'd left us.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Yeah, I did for a little while, just out of
the country for a while, so not able to listen
to you.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, the iHeart app should work anywhere, but we won't
pick nets here. How you doing, what's on your mind?
What has inspired you so much that you would re engage?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Well, I pulled you up on the iHeart app. I
actually am in South Carolina today, but anyway, I did
play up an iHeart app and heard you, you know,
really defending I think you know the recent bombing in
Iran by by our forces, and maybe you can help
me educate me a little bit on you know, what
(14:52):
do you reckon was the basis of that decision from
your perspectives, given the given you know, all the information
that had been shared up until that time, you know
about their progress toward a nuclear weapon. I'm just curious,
what if you think something significant changed.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Well, I don't think it's sure to say I was
praising it. It's more accurate to say I was celebrating it.
And so I think it was beyond justified and way overdue.
Because you can't let the most dangerous terrorists in the
world have the most dangerous weapons, and every American president,
Republican democrat, has said that only Trump had the guts
to do it.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Well, okay, but what's the basis of that. Why would
you say that they were, you know, putting together an
atomic weapon.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They weren't even trying to hide it. I mean, why
would you have sixty percent enriched ur aim They weren't
even trying to hide it. How do you kill all
those nuclear scientists if they're not there?
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Well, Van, I mean, his own director of National Intelligence
said on Mark twenty seventh, if they were not putting together,
they had not made any moves toward putting together a
nuclear weapons. First of all changed in April, Mage, something
changed in ten weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well, if she said that, and she denies, that was
her full message. But if she said that, she was
something wrong. Yeah, that's the quote. Okay, Yeah, well, Mike,
you sound excited about it. Please give it to us.
We don't want to deprive you.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
No, you can look it up.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
No, you don't have the quoote. Ryan, come on, he
just said I got the quote, and I thought, okay,
this time Mike came with the quote. But you were
bluffing us, Mike, you didn't have the quote I spent
far from you.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Well, my assumption was that you and Ryan would be
good enough newspeople that you'd have if you.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Wanted, so we'd have the non existent quote to make
your point. Yeah, we're not that good. So but my friend, yes,
overwhelming evidence. They're not even trying to.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Hide it, not building a nuclear How about this streame?
Leader Kamanie has not authorized the nuclear up in program
he suspended in two thousand and three. That's the quote, Dan,
do you think Mike's.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Really in Iran?
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Are you one of the people out in the streets
waving a comedy banner while he hides somewhere? Michael, let
me ask you this. We can just end this and
you're welcome to stay the next segment. But I know
it's seven thirty where you are with this penetrating you. Well, Michael,
you've gotten some negative this penetrating question. If you knew
Iran was developing a nuclear weapon, would you support military
(17:31):
strikes to destroy that program?
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Wonderful. Kum bay Ah, my brother, Kumbaya. I'm not sure
I believe you, but hey, have a great dinner and
call us off in three or three seven three eight
two five five the number text d A N five
seven seven three nine when we come back. Anything we've
been talking about, or anything you care about, we'll talk about.
But I want to tell you about something that's gone
a bit below the radar. Hundreds of local young people
(18:00):
showing up at an area mall over the weekend to
have a big fight, and now they plan to take
it to other malls. So even if it's scheduled, what
do you think is going on? And how do you
stop it? You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Ma'am, I'm Donnie.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Will you welcome Prime Minister met and you know who
to New York City for the.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
For whatever he comes for.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Given the US as not the signature of the ICC,
so he can travel to the US unlike a lot
of other countries with a ma'am'm doney, welcome Benjamin, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Too the city No as mayor New York City would
arrest Benjamin Yaho.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
This is a city that are boy, this is going
to be fun, right. The new face, the new face
of the Democratic Party in America, Glad you're here three
or three someone three two five five the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine and a
very appropriate new face, because that really is what the
Democratic Party has become. Not most Democratic voters, not at all,
(18:58):
but the people who control well the party. Yeah, he's
just more out front about it and does it in
a more direct way. So what do you think that's
going to mean, if anything, for Colorado? By the way,
tomorrow we're going to be talking about this simple but
profound question of what would it take for Colorado to
now reject Democrats and elect Republicans statewide? What would it
(19:19):
take for that to happen? Feels like the appropriate time
to discuss it since, jeez, the Republican primaries about a
year away, right though, Ryan, I cannot remember a time
in my young life when there has been less interest in,
less buzz about, less energy surrounding two big state wide
(19:40):
races governor and US Senate, which are just a little
more than a year away. But we'll see if that
changes over time. Dad, you asked your remc if you
listen to your show on the iHeart app while he
was out of the country, Dan, I don't think the
iHeart app works in Cuba or Venezuela. Yeah, what do
you think I was disturbed by that last chat with Mike.
(20:02):
There's there seemed to be an anger there. You got it, right, Yeah, yeah,
and probably because we exposed him. But yeah, and that
wasn't pretty. That was not pretty. Dan, Florida's Attorney general,
said the alligator Alcatraz will be opening next month. That
from our friend Eric, that does not sound appealing. Do
(20:26):
you have the details on that.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Thought?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Well, yeah, the Florida Right, yeah, Kelly.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
This is a old airfield that is now kind of
in a little bit of disarray that they're building up,
and it is surrounded on all sides by everglades, which
in habits pythons, Bermese pythons because these idiots that don't
(20:57):
know how to raise snakes basically they get too big
and they dump them into the everglades. Then there's water moccasins.
Those are poisonous. Yeah, pythons suck, but you know, but
then there's alligators.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yes, right, Okay, well I got the gist. Thank you, Kelly. No,
it's you are so welcomed down. I'm here to please.
Doesn't sound like there'll be a lot of escapees from
there three or three someone three eight, two, five five,
one of the most sones CYNN inadlines ever. Trump returns
to DC as questions grow over impact of US strikes.
(21:34):
What they really mean by that is, Okay, yesterday you
had this leak out of the administration of a preliminary
damage assessment that said it wasn't that significant, and then
the administration immediately said no, that that report is preliminary,
it's not high confidence, and it's wrong. So what CNN
means by growing questions means that literally every other damage
(21:57):
assessment to come out today from this country and from
Israel says no, there was a lot of damage done.
So CNN just can't bring itself to say that, right,
you know, And maybe that's working for him, right because
and that's one of the funny things in media, right,
they don't need to get broad interest or support or credibility.
(22:18):
If CNN can drum up this narrow, small but consistent,
loyal lefty audience, or they're going to have enough ratings
to continue. So maybe maybe that's their play. Some sound
I want to get to today Bernie Sanders on Joe Rogan,
Who do you think between Bernie and AOC. Who do
you think they're going to run? I mean, between the
(22:39):
two of them, do you think they have a deal
that it's going to be Bernie or it's going to
be AOC. Why not a ticket the two of them together,
and you think she'd play second fiddle to Sure? Absolutely,
he's old enough, he might resign and then she steps
in kind of the Kamala theory. Yeah, huh. You got
to deal with this climate change issue.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
And I know that you know there are some people
think climate change is a hoax.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It ain't a hoax.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
I think the last ten years have been the warmest
on record, and we can't create millions of good paying
jobs transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel to
energy efficiency, to sold it the wind, that other sustainable energies.
Speaker 11 (23:18):
I think the climate change is just very complicated, and
I think did you see the Washington Post piece that
they wrote where they did this long term view? First
of all, the reality is that the Earth temperature has
never been static, right, we both agree on that. It's
always been up and down. There's been ice ages and
heat waves. And then the Washington Post looked at it,
(23:39):
what was the time period that they looked at that. Essentially,
they found that we're in a cooling period.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
You know, this is going to be so much fun.
Think about it. Think about who's hot on the Democrats side.
Is this nutjob socialist in New York who's probably going
to be mayor? You got Bernie, you got AOC. This
is great. Just let the world see, let democrats see
what the Democratic Party has really become. And I know
it sounds odd, but I'm just telling you man, as
(24:06):
a former Democrat, you got so many Democrats who just
don't understand how crazy their own party has become. Maybe
they're not that involved in politics every day, or maybe
they just don't want to understand. But you've got a
lot who don't, and so stuff like this, Yeah, take
it to the extreme and that's going to help open eyes.
(24:29):
So loving that there was controversy over this. Oh Ryan,
Oh my goodness, I'm going to blame you for my
failure here. Right, we've never seen that before, we really haven't.
But I promoted this and I want to get to it.
This crazy situation over the weekend where they're now talking
about more of it, this is a KUSA story. Police
(24:51):
respond after hundreds of teens swarm Denver Area shopping center.
Denver police said hundreds of teenagers descended on Northfield Mall
Sunday evening in a coordinated takeover that resulted in multiple
fights among teens. So think about this, hundreds of teens
coordinating a takeover of a mall, according to KUSA, and
(25:13):
then it turns violent. Around six pm, police said roughly
three hundred teens arrived at the shopping center, where some
began fighting in and outside of stores, entering businesses and
causing disturbances. Officers from across the city responded and worked
to disperse the group, eventually breaking up smaller clusters that
moved towards Central Park Boulevard. In forty six. While no
(25:35):
arrests were made, police said a theft was reported at
one of the businesses. It's unclear if that was connected
to the group. Advocates for youth in the city say
the incident, while disruptive, is a symptom of larger issues.
This is how they act out, said Jason McBride, longtime
mentor and youth advocate. This is how they behave when
they don't feel like anybody cares for them. Now, one
(25:58):
question I'd have is and believe me. I admire all
these people who are working in the trenches trying to
help kids, so none of this is aimed at them.
But a question I would ask is, what do you
think if you could drug test all of those three
hundred who have this coordinated descent to take over a
mall Northfields over the weekend and then to fight. What
(26:19):
do you think those drug test results would show? And
all I'm saying is you've got so many of these
they are saints, so many of these men and women
who devote themselves to trying to help these troubled teams, etc.
Well take the next step and come out and oppose
legalize marijuana. Because everybody in their right mind knows that
legalized marijuana has been horrible for Colorado's youth. This high
(26:42):
potency stuff, let alone traditional low THHC marijuana leaf marijuana,
does so much harm to these kids. Why don't we
see more of these youth advocates just stand up and say,
wait a second, we've got to reverse Amendment sixty four.
We got to get this garbage off the street. It's
(27:03):
hurting our kids so badly. But look at this that
they marketed this as an event, says the story. They
did it on their own. They produce the flyers to
get the kids out, and now they're planning more of them.
They're planning another takeover at Elitch Gardens on July tenth,
Lakeside Amusement Park on July eleven, and Town Center at
(27:24):
Aurora on July twelve. So what do you make of that?
Where do you think that comes from? And then how
do you stop it? Three h three someone three eight
two five five you can text d An five seven
seven three nine. You're on the Dankpla Show.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 12 (27:43):
We'll talk about the intelligence. This is what a leaker
is telling you. The intelligence says, that's the game these
people play. They read it and then they go out
and characterize it the way they want to characterize and
their leakers.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
This is the game they play. So that's number one.
Speaker 12 (27:55):
Number two, here's a fact, the conversion facility, which you
can't do a new good weapon without a convert and facility.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You can't.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
We can't even find where it is where it used
to be on the map.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You can't even find where it.
Speaker 12 (28:05):
Used to be because the whole thing is just blackened
out it's gone wiped it's wiped out. Then we dropped
twelve of the strongest bombs on the planet right down
the hole in two places. Everything underneath that mountain is
in bad shape. And I refer you to the statement
of the IEA, mister Grossia.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You know what he said.
Speaker 12 (28:21):
He said there was a wrong the way it looked
the day before the attack.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And what the nuclear program looks like now two very
different things. They are way.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
Behind where they were just seven days ago. Now, anything
in the world can be rebuilt, but now we know
where it is, and if they try to rebuild it,
we'll have options there as well. But all this leaker stuff,
these leakers are professional stabbers, that's what they Boy.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He's good, right, He's always been good, but he's just
getting better. Marco Rubio three or three someone three eight
two five five the number for and Alexa texted us
on this as well. You have big press conference tomorrow
morning with the Hexseth and others from Defense, and so
I expect we're going to get a lot of new intel,
probably a lot of photos, a lot of objective evidence
(29:02):
of the extent of the damage done. So let's go
back to the phone lines. Go up to beautiful Shyanne, Wyoming.
We'll start there with Rob. You're on the Dan Capitalist
You'll welcome.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Thanks Dan.
Speaker 13 (29:14):
I really enjoy your show.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I appreciate its great. Thank you.
Speaker 13 (29:18):
And I spent a lot of my time in Colorado
and lived there for about twenty five years. And my
question to you would be, do you think that the
I know people have said this, do you think that
the kind of lacks marijuana laws and enforcement, you know,
are drawing people in from other states? And one thing
(29:40):
I really don't understand about Colorado is that people seem
to be fine with having it seems that way in general,
having people pour in from all like all kinds of
other states, other countries and everything like that, when I
would think that, you know, it's causing people to have
to commute an hour hour and a half to work
and they wouldn't want that. But it's just I wanted
(30:03):
to get your.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Thoughts on Yeah, thanks man, those are great questions. There's
no question it was part of the plan to use
legalized marijuana to change the political demographic of Colorado, and
they've been very successful at that. There's no question that
has worked for them at a grave price to the
States starting with their kids. But but yeah, that was
part of the plan and it has worked for them.
(30:25):
Now is it going to work long terms as those
people grow up literally as they get older and they
start to have kids of their own and everything else?
And the last thing any sane parent would want is
their kid doing dope, right, And so is that going
to change over time? But now that has worked for them? Yes?
And do you go ahead? Please?
Speaker 13 (30:47):
Do you think so? Places like California, I've heard there's
kind of, you know, the beginnings of movements are you know,
apparently maybe in progress to try to turn it around. Yeah,
do you see that in Colorado at all? Like I've
heard this a couple of people are trying to do that.
What do you see And what hope do you have
(31:09):
for the future? I know you always want to remain hopeful.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Oh you got to. I mean it's our moral obligation, right,
It's what we're put on this planet to do, is
stop bad things, not just throw up br hands and
say that's impossible. I mean, what if the founders had
done that, right, wouldn't be so good for us? So no,
but what it's going to take realistically, the grassroots support
is there across party lines. Democrat mothers and affiliated mothers
love their children every bit as much as conservative mothers,
(31:35):
and so yeah, the grassroots support would be there, but
you need the money. That's the thing is the left
has the money. The legalized drug big industry has the money.
And so you'd need one of these gazillionaires to step
up and say, you know what, I'm a gazillionaire. I
can't take this stuff with me. This crap's killing the state.
I'm going to put up fifty million bucks to try
(31:56):
to reverse it. Without enormous money, I don't think you
can take advantage of that grassroot support. And here's the thing,
rob Without enormous money, you wouldn't have the ability to inform,
to educate the folks who haven't been dialed in. And
if they actually knew all the harm that was being
caused by this, you know, it would tip them. But
(32:17):
it takes a lot of money to get there.
Speaker 13 (32:21):
Sounds like a great breakdown of bubble the topic.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Well, thank you. I wish there was a better chance
of that kind of money appearing, but that's what I
think it would take. Thank you, my friend for your call.
Let's go to Lionel. Love that name in Leadville. Lionel
from Leadville, right place to live. If you're Lionel. Welcome
to the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Here's a great place, Dan. I'm ninety two wo I
started smoking marijuana, and when I was twenty one in
nineteen fifty four, I built a successful funeral business shoulder
when I'm retired, and I'm not going to stop. If
it became a legal I would grow it on my
property or I'd find it the older fashioned way. I'm
(33:00):
an adult, and I agree children shouldn't have it. Well,
what do you think about a ninety two year old
who was successful and healthy? I have the right to
relax at night. I don't do alcohol, Lionel, So what
would you to say to a man like me?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I would sit there and I would picture Lionel sitting
up there in Leadville getting a high at night on
his own, not jeopardizing anybody's safety, and I'd have a
smile on my face because I'd be very happy that
Lionel's happy. That wouldn't concern me one little bit, Linel.
What concerns me is setting up this industry where we
(33:35):
have more marijuana stores than Starbucks. And McDonald's combined, which
green lights it for kids, injects all this poison into
the veins of our community, harming all these kids. That's
what gets me worked up, not the thought of a
happy linel in Leadville.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
Okay, that makes me feel better because I think you're
a very intelligent man, and I just don't want people
to tell me something it doesn't harm me.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Did.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
I think actually kind of helps me focus and do
the build. Kind of nice. But hey, who, I don't
think kids should have it, but you know, an adult
I think should be able to put that in their
body if they wish, if they're not driving, and if
they're not putting anybody at harm. No.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Hey, the other thing I want to see is I
want to see you call the show all the time.
But tell me we got five seconds. Where did you
find marijuana in nineteen fifty four?
Speaker 8 (34:24):
Oh, that's your good question. They actually used to have it.
They call it brick brick we used. It was all compacted.
I don't know where it came from.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I'll do me a favorite out of time. Will you
call this show? Hey, we want to make you a
regular caller. We want you to be our correspondent from Ladville.
Great job, Brian, thank you. Kelly. Join us tomorrow. I'm
the Dan Capler Show.
