Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of American Mary going on this weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hope you were part of that.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Three oh three seven one three eight two five five
The number takes d A and five seven seven three
nine the icon Shannon Scott behind the glass today.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Always great to see Shannon and what a waste?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Right, Like there's it's hilarious because I happen to be Catholic,
and in the Catholic community, every now and then you'll
get a priest who's just like movie star, handsome everything else.
And then sometimes the ladies in the parish will name
them father, what a waste? And then the kids are
always saying, father, what a what? And uh yes, so
it's inside Joe. But anyway, Shannon is our what a
(00:39):
waste here in the talk radio business because you know,
Shannon's been behind the glass?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
How many years now? Shannon ninety five? So is that thirty? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So that's good preparation for being entombed in glass, right.
I think that's in your will when you go. You
just want everybody to be able to just have a
fresh look. I wonder if anybody's ever done that other
than you know, like saints and everything else. Whose bodies
or some whose bodies don't degrade. But if you ever
heard of anybody actually doing that, being entombed.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
In glass lenin.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Interesting but this makes my point. Could have been both,
but this makes my point. See, Shannon would have the
number one talk show everywhere if he would just flip
to the other side of the glass. But he has
insisted over all these decades in staying back there, which
is a waste, my friends, So please chime in anytime,
which I know you.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Won't, but I wish you would.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Three at three seven to one three A two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine
meant I have been dying since Saturday to talk to
you about this No King's business, because chances are you
probably ran into one of these AstroTurf gatherings somewhere over
the weekend. And and just you know, like me, I
(01:55):
ran into two, two different ones, and one down here
and one up in the mountains because I was heading
up to the cabin. So I ran into one in
the south part of the metro over at Arapowan University,
and then I ran into one up in Edwards, Colorado
at the main traffic circle. So I ran into two
about equally sized. I would guess I wasn't going to
(02:18):
do a head count. I was going through a red lights,
stopped at well, no, I was going through a green
light down here, and then stopped at the traffic circle.
I do not go through red lights, but I would
guess both had hundreds. I mean, they were good turnouts,
but I saw some of the same signs at both, which.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
You know is no indictment of anybody.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Obviously there was a lot of coordination here, but I'm
dying to get your take, Well, what do you think
these were all about? We know who organized them for
the most part, and we'll go through some of those
details because I want to get your take on what
the purpose was, what the purpose was on Saturday, because
my own personal theory, I can't prove it to be fact.
It's just my belief is that there's a long term
(03:01):
purpose and that Saturday, other than putting the mechanics in
place for the long term play, Saturday wasn't about anything
in particular. So I just want to get your take
on what was going on there. Hey, and so much
more to talk about today. We're going to be talking
as well about what happened here locally, which was great job.
(03:26):
By DPD, which is no surprise. That's what dp does
when they're allowed to. What's interesting is they were allowed
to in this example. Why did the Johnston administration allow
DPD to do what it does so well, which is
do its job very well. So we'll dive into that also,
and you may have run into that when you were downtown,
(03:48):
So I want to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Hey, on a lighter note.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Lighter note, just let me start with Denver Broncos because
you know this and you know by now this big
historic come from behind victory yesterday was you know, every
adjectivit you can think of.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But here's the point.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
If the lasting lesson is learned, then yesterday will go
down as one of the most important days in Denver
Bronco football history.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
If the lasting lesson is.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Not learned, it will go down as a sugar high
and a waste. Because if the lesson from yesterday is
not learned, then this team, which has every conceivable ingredient
from ownership down to everyone on the roster, it is
every ingredient it needs for high level success for a
(04:36):
long time to come if they learned the lesson from yesterday.
If they don't, then we're going to waste that it's
going to be another what away, Shannon? Do you have
any guess, my friend, because Shannon has produced sports, produced
all these teams, done everything else. Are we on the
same We haven't talked about this. Are we on the
same wavelengths? On the lesson to be learned from yesterday?
(04:57):
What do you take away from that Bronco game?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I didn't see it, so I don't know what to
tell you. What were you doing? How did you not
see that?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I was sleeping because I had to work pregame and
then a postgame.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Holy in the.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Game, Holy Cow. Well, at least I've got an excuse.
I turned it off with six minutes left. I didn't
even see the comeback. I didn't think there was one
chance in the world. I was so upset by what
I'd seen. I stopped listening. Yeah, don't tell Dave, but yeah,
I was driving down from the mountains and I just
stopped listening. I was so disgusted because the lesson was
(05:31):
so clear, and I know everybody knows the outline of
it now, right Broncos had zero points through three quarters
and scored thirty three points in the fourth quarter to
win thirty three to thirty and defense had given up
a bondch earlier in the game, and I guess gave
up points throughout the whole game. But here's the point,
the lesson from yesterday, and then I'll get off this
(05:53):
Bronco thing, even though it's what everybody's talking about today.
The lesson is simple, Let bow loose, Let bo Knicks play.
And I'm telling you we saw this before, right if
you were around when John Elway was here, particularly in
the early years, you know John Elway a great gunslinger
(06:17):
type of quarterback. Now bow Knicks is and John Elway
john always one of the top five of all time
at the very least, might be top three of all time.
But bow Knicks is a really good, smart, competitive young
quarterback who can play and win for you when you
allow him to do his thing, which is play football,
not be some mechanical piece seven intricate coaching scheme where
(06:41):
coaches over control the athletes. And listen, I'm a big
fan of this head coach. The Broncos have Sean Payton.
They're much better with him. They've been much better, certainly
in the last year. But coaches are human too, They're
like the rest of us. Egos get out of control
and it becomes all about the coach, and then coaches
are over control. All very well intentioned. Everybody wants to win, right,
(07:03):
but then coaches start over controlling. Oh no, you know,
Bo can get a little while Bo can throw a pick.
We don't want to pick, and then they get over
controlling and too cautious. Let the man play football and
you're gonna get some picks, but you're gonna get a
whole lot more touchdowns like you did in the fourth
quarter when they turned them loose because they had to,
(07:24):
because they had to.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It was the same thing with Elway.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Do you remember that, Shannon, when they would turn Elway
loose late in games when they had to because they'd
over control them through three and a half quarters.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And then John.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Elway, Yeah, the world class athlete would emerge. He'd be
allowed to play football, and he'd have all these comebacks.
Why do you think Elway had all those comebacks because
they wouldn't let the man play football for three and
a half quarters.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And that's what's going on with Bo.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Nick's that monstrosity in London, Holy cow, that was a
national international embarrassment because they wouldn't let bow Nicks play football.
Is somebody going to tell me that the same man
who put thirty three points on the board in the
fourth quarter yesterday couldn't have put some points on the
board in the first three quarters if you let him
(08:12):
play football. So, yeah, we can live with some mistakes.
We can live with some picks. We can live with
some really stupid picks, because all the greatest quarterbacks in
history have thrown some stupid picks, but they overcome that
with their greatness and throwing more touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So please, Broncos, listen.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
We have the best ownership group in all of football,
really really good coaching staff, really really good roster. Obviously
great fans. Learn the lesson from yesterday. Turn bow Knicks loose,
turn the offense loose, let them play football. Live with
the mistakes, because if you keep trying to over control them,
you're going to get the ugliness we saw in London
(08:55):
and the ugliness we saw for three quarters yesterday. Shannon Scott,
you have seen it. Is there any.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Flaw in that logic? No? Thank you, thank you. Did
you give that answer any thought whatsoever?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Again?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Okay, I appreciate your frankness. Three or three?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Someone three eight two, five five the number text DA
and five seven seventy nine when we come back. What
do you make of this whole No King's thing. I'll
give you my theory. It's just that I can't proof it.
But there's no doubt in my mind what Saturday was
really all about, and it was not about Saturday.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You're on the dan Kapla show the response.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
On Nora Who.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What's your response to the protest over the weekend?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
The new kings processes.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I think it's a joke.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I looked at the people if they're not representative of
this country. And I looked at all the brand new
science made for I guess it was paid for by
sous another radical left lunatics. It looks like it was.
We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very
in effect, and the people who are worked out, when
you look at those people, those are not representative by
(10:04):
the people of our gun joyb.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
I'm not a king.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I'm not a king.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I work my ass off to make our country great.
That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I'm not a king at all. So what do you
make of this No King's business? This weekend?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Three or three seven one three eight two five five
text d A N five seven seven three nine. First,
at this point, I think it's generally understood right that
George Soros and his different organizations were likely behind the funding.
It appears through the Open Society's Foundation, a George Soros foundation.
(10:40):
Nobody's trying to hide that, And it looks like from
the reporting I've seen, the Open Society's Foundation then donated
large sums like it appears up to seven point seven
six one million total over time to Indivisible Organization, and
that you then had and they serve as an overall
(11:01):
data managing, communication managing type of umbrella organization. And then
you had a bunch of organizations you're probably familiar with,
you know, just hundreds actually then involved as part of
this network to get people out there. So that appeared
to be the framework of this thing. But big question
I have for you is why what was the point
(11:24):
of it? Obviously the midterms are a year away, there's
no presidential what's the point of doing it Saturday? What
do you think they hope to gain from that? You know,
the people who put all this together. Now, I think
the answer to that question is probably going to be
different than a lot of the people who just turned
out which listen. I only saw two of these groups,
(11:45):
one here and one up in the mountains, and so
I saw what a total of maybe a thousand or
two thousand people. Can't draw any conclusions from that. I
didn't get out of the current interview people or anything
like that. I did have some general impressions, and I
thought it was help hopeful to have seen groups both
down here at a university and a rappah and then
(12:06):
a group up in the mountains, up in Edwards. I
thought it was helpful to see both groups. Stunning striking
similarity between the two groups that we'll get into as
take calls and get to text. I've obviously got my
own theory on this, but you know, I don't want
to sort of pollute the waters here with that until
(12:26):
we take some calls and text. But I have a
very very strong theory as to what was the intent
of Saturday, because it just seems so random, right, put
all that money, all that time, all that effort into
something that wasn't geared to an election, or wasn't geared
(12:47):
to a particular issue. This wasn't, say, post the death
of George Floyd or anything like that. I'll bet after
we take a few calls, you know, people are going
to have the same theory that I do. We'll find out.
We'll start in beautiful Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Talk to Scott. You're on the Dan CAPITALI show how
you doing, Scott, Hey.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Dan Goodman, yourself my friend.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
Well, I think it's a joke that Trump claims that
all of us that who were there are a bunch
of radical left lunatics, because I was in the heartbeat
of it all, and there was no violence, no negativity
towards our country.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It was all the love for our country.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
It was all about peace and pushing against I want
to be king, who is also a want to be
dictator who is obviously stripping people of you know, our
right to free speech by trying to shut down, you know,
opinions and sending tax paying military into the States to
(13:50):
try and silence people who oppose him of you know,
opposing a man who released hundreds of actual care to
attack our capital on January sixth because.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
He was man enough.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Can we take the election loss?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Can we take these There's nothing about negativity.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You can take a breath, that country, you can take
a breath.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'll let you talk as long as you want, my friend,
I just I want to take them one by one
because we only got a two hour show.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But I'd love to go through all of this with you.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
First, Thank you for calling, because you were there, and
you know, I just drove by a couple of these,
So I want to find out, like, mechanically, how did
you get there? Who told you about it? Who'd you
get an email from? If you did, how'd you end
up there?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:37):
So social media in the news, I mean, it's global
and once you if you care about this country and
you want to push back about against somebody like him who.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Wants to be a king and is not, can I
just get a quick question on it, because I really
i'd love to learn from you.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'd love to learn the mechanics, et cetera. But can
we start with this.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
If Trump's a king, why why were those protests even aloud.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
And nobody said he's okay, wants okay okay, and he
does because he's the one who's trying to silence our country.
He's the one who is taking trying to strip people
of their rights. He's the one who's trying to strip
free speech. He's the one who's releasing actual.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Heroris and him.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I want to get into Fryan King any better than that, Scott.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Okay, I just want to clarify some things out of
the gate, and then we can get into the specifics.
Hopefully I get your bullet points, but I'd really love
to get specific examples behind those. So what you're telling us,
my friend, is that you weren't part of any organization,
You weren't contacted by any organization, You didn't receive any
kind of email, because we know that happened with a
(15:44):
lot of people.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Nothing illegal about that, nothing wrong about that.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
I talked.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
I talked to dozens and dozens of people, and that
is laughable because there are no paid protesters. We're there
protesting fell A free because we can't stand the man
and what he's doing to this country.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
The word paid wasn't in my question anywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I was just asking about emails, logistics.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
How you got there?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, Well, and I just want to let you know
that there are plenty of groups that have acknowledged that
they have been involved in organizing, sending out emails, getting
people to a particular location.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
George Soros's organization is wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I just said that Scott, Scott, do you listen?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I mean, seriously, do you listen to me at all?
I heard exactly what you just didn't process.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
It's okay, Republican boogeyman, the Republican Bookieyman.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
That's a joke.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
No, he's America's boogeyman.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But that aside, Scott, listen again, I'm just trying to
learn from you your perspective on what was going on there.
So what you're saying is you just learned this is
going to be happening in certain times, certain place, right,
and so you decided to go down because you don't
like Trump and you don't like what's going on.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Right, because I care for our country.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Okay, okay, great, I don't care what he's.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Doing for our okay great.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
And because they try to paint it as a hate
America protest when everybody that was there was wearing flags, peace, love,
good hearted people.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
There. There was people from seven year olds.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And were chanting against Trump up to ninety year olds.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
People scared there weren't.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh no, I'm not scattered. Don't be so defensive. I've
given you more airtime than either Shannon or I have had.
The seven year olds I was laughing at the thought
of the seven year olds because I saw a video
somewhere where they had a seven year old like stabbing
an effigy of Trump. I'm not saying it was at
one of these rallies, but and I was not laughing
at that image. That image disgusted me. But let me
(17:46):
ask you, what were the seven year olds chanting? And
and were those ideas.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Must go okayp.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Must go okay okay.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
There was no violence, no negative, no stabbing.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
No you know, everybody that I love that was wearing
peace signed it was. It was, It was.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
It was a little different than the Bernie Sanders squretesting,
where people were furious, forty thousand people that were.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Pissed off because of what was going on after he
was elected.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
This was a little more happy fu to Trump, you know,
protest against.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
A quick quick question.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We've got about twelve seconds, and youre welcome to come
back on the other side, because I have some questions
I'd really like to ask you, but did anybody give instructions?
Was anybody in charge? We'll start with that. Other callers
on the Dan Kapla show, maybe what's.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Your response to the protests over the weekend, the new
King RUDINSS.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I think it's a joke. I looked at the people
if they're not representative of this country. And I looked
at all the brand new science paid I guess it
was paid for by sous and other radical left lunatics.
It looks like it was. We're checking it out. The
demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people who
were walked out, when you look at those people, those
(19:01):
are not representative by the people of our country. I'm
not a king.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I'm not a king.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I work my ass off to make our country great.
That's all it is. I'm not a king at all.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
President Trump on that big question for you is what
do you make of this whole no king's business? Over
the weekend, we are very fortunate to have Scott with us.
Scott's from Boulder, and he tells us he was there
and that nobody sent him an email or anything. He
just heard about it. He's not happy with what's going
on with President Trump, so he went out there. Scott,
thanks for hanging with us, my friend.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The question we.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Left at the table on the table at the end
of the first segment was what do you think you
accomplish Saturday. Obviously we don't admit terms coming up. It's
not a presidential year. This wasn't following say the death
of George Floyd or anything like that. So what do
you think it accomplished? What did you hope to accomplish?
Speaker 7 (20:00):
And you know, to go back at what Trump was
saying on your SoundBite there.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
That it was small.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
I don't think seven million people across our country is.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Small by any means.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
You know, Denver alone thirty thousand, and everywhere I drove
the corners were packed with protests. So what it's it's
a voice that Trump's trying to take from us.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
So by all of us being able.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
To voice our opinion and showing obviously Republicans are a
little nervous because they can see the massive size of
these events. Look at Chicago, even the smaller towns, look
at the size of these protests. Is exposing that to
maybe the warrior or the person that's sitting on the side,
or you.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Know, maybe the the you.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Know, center center voter that maybe wondering what they want
to do and that they can see what's going on
here's world.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Let me ask you about that, Scott, And I know
you have a lot to say, and we're grateful for that.
Let's take it one by one to your point about
that center voter, right, were there any significant turnouts in
swing states?
Speaker 7 (21:09):
You know, I haven't dug that deep into it, Okay,
So I don't know, I really, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
They're just an important question, I think because listen, I
can understand that, you know that the people who voted
against Trump, who wanted a different type of America, who
wanted a different approach to government, I can understand that
they're frustrated right now. I want them to be frustrated
right now. I don't want them to be happy with government,
(21:36):
because they're only going to be happy with the government
that I think would destroy this country. So I think
that it's to be expected, right that in deep blue
places like this, in Chicago, where I grew up, in
places like that, that a lot of good people like
you who just don't want this man to be president,
you know, will be out there frustrated.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
A lot of people like me who are very very
happy he's.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
President, will want to talk to you, you and and
find out, Okay, what was the point of Saturday. So
we appreciate you explaining that. I have a little different
theory on why the people who spent the money to
pull all this together spent the money. But I have
no doubt about your sincerity and your motives.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
So when you say put that money together, I know
the George Soroo Sorrows boogeyman. To all you guys, it's
like what to what to organize and to actually have
an event that's safe and working with the city. And
you know, I don't know who funded all that, but
there's just nothing illegal, there's nothing against it. But paying,
(22:36):
you know, paying or encouraging people to come into protests
for no reason is absolutely very ridiculous because every single
person I talked to was they're full hearted in support
of our country and the destruction that's going through this
man and off.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
But but Scott, you're not disputing the news reporting that
Sorrows his organization spent an awful lot of money to
organize this.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You can.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You can spend allience to organize it without paying anybody
to show up.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Right, So what's wrong with organizing protest?
Speaker 6 (23:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
No nost Amendment.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Right, Absolutely nothing wrong with it as long as it
stays within the law. Which it appears to me for
the most part, these did over the weekend. I can
tell you what really struck me with the two that
I happened to drive through is that both were, as
you say, noticeably cheerful. Noticeably cheerful. The ones that I saw,
(23:30):
I know there were some other places where they weren't.
And the signs were funny. You know, I've seen pictures
of signs that are the opposite of funny. But the
signs were funny. It was noticeably cheerful, and there were
an awful lot of people obviously not happy with Donald
Trump being president. Nothing wrong with that, nothing illegal. But
what's interesting to me, my friend, is there's nothing in
(23:53):
what happened this weekend that's going to change the outcome
of any of these elections, at least not broad swats well,
because there's no there's no reason to believe they would first.
And I'm anxious to get your.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Toe whoa, whoa do you have that that's nothing but ignorance?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Oh, okay, okay, we're going to go there. Oh I
love going there. Look, I love going there. You want
to play the I card have fun with all.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
To say that protesting does nothing is a joke, because
you know what, it's bigger than it was last time.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It was just as big.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
As Let's take it point by point, Scott, I've got
jam lines, but I'll give you the whole darn show.
But we got to have a back and forth. Okay,
you say it was bigger than it was last time?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And what what came from the last one? And how
big were the protests?
Speaker 5 (24:46):
People are there today?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Today that man does something against the American citizen, stripping
them of jobs, rights healthcare, stripping environmental regulations, attacking our
right to free speech, sending the military into listen.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Scott, that's next on my list.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I want to go beyond your bullet points, and and
you want to play the I card. Well, hey, earlier
I asked you what kind of crowds did they get
in Swing States? You said you didn't know. Did I
call you ignorant? No, it was simply a fact you
weren't aware of, And I understand that.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But but what I'm coming you made ignorant?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Oh right, which you think that protests do no good?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Well, I didn't say that. I didn't say that, Scott, And.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
So it's not going to change anything.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, this particular protest. But that's my point is there.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Aren't you have one every three or four months.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
So what what does that change in the end? Because
how big were the.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
Protests that Americans are concerned, it shows a swing voter
that Americans are concerned.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
You're not alone.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Here's what I think is really going on. I think
there are an awful lot of people like you. You
went out there, well intentioned, You went out there sincere
Now we haven't started to explore the reasons you're upset
with President Trump, and I think once we do that,
you'll see that you're off base. Yeah, you gave me
bullet points. You didn't give me specifics. I want to
get to the specifics. But here's here's my point for
(26:12):
those joining us right now is I have no doubt
about your sincerity and going out there, and I have
no doubt that you are sincerely upset with President Trump.
By I think you'd be a lot less upset if
you knew the full facts.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
But I have no doubt about the sincerity.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Oh oh, I don't know a fact now.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Although I can I ask you a sincere question, does
your family? Can I ask you one question? Will you
allow me to get one question out? Or are you
now reverting kind of this lefty thing? Oh, I'm in
trouble on the fact, so I've got to just keep talking.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Let me ask you that I don't know the facts,
but you don't even know.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Let prove it right, how closed minded the right is?
You'll why didn't you go down then listen?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well, you, Scott, why didn't I go down and listen?
I do this show.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Five days a week. You are proof we don't censor anybody.
I get to listen to this every day. Can I
ask you one question? Can I ask you one question?
If not, that's fine, Well, part friends or whatever we are,
and you can go talk to yourself in a corner,
or you can talk to this whole big audience if
you want to have it back and forth.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
But I just.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Really, that's what you call this.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Let me ask you one question, and you promised me
an honest answer.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Does your family invite you to Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Most of my family has passed away?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Oh I'm sorry, my friend. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, because the way you're acting, I would think maybe
you didn't get invited to Thanksgiving?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Ever, how I am acting.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Past the Turkey.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Scott, I'm thinking your audience at America. Oh yeah, there
are concerned Americans out there that listen.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Listen, listeners.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Okay, if you have the right to go out and
protest and listen.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
You've ever even let me get to my point about
what you won't even let me get to my point
about how you're being used because you just keep talking.
But if you want to hang on, everybody on the lines,
thanks for your patients. If you want to hang on Scott,
when we come back, I'll tell you how I think
you are being used, and then you can.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Tell me whether I'm right or not.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Now, everybody on the line, I'll find a way to
get to you in the next segment. We won't spend
the whole next segment with Scott. But then I also
want to ask Scott, you know, what exactly does he
think that Trump's done that that is king? Like, how
has Trump acted like a king? Because I know Scott
has this list of bullet points, but they fall apart
(28:48):
once you get beyond the bullet point, because Trump has
not acted like a king, and each and every argument
the left has here falls apart once you get to
the facts. You're on the den Kapalish. It's like the
oj Simpson trial that went on forever. But we're blessed
to have with us Scott from Boulder, who went out
to the protest because he doesn't like President Trump, doesn't
(29:10):
like this presidency. He understands that he and I have
polar opposite views on that, but we're so grateful to
have him here.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I've had him now.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
This is the third or fourth segment as we get
into some of the specifics about what happened over the weekend,
and so Scott, I do and we have tam lines
and I have to get to other people, but I
want to tell you how I think you and the
others on Saturday were being used because, in my opinion,
Saturday accomplish nothing politically right now, but I think was
(29:42):
critical to the people who and I get that and
thank you for that, but critical to the people who
organized it because of what they're really after long term.
But before we get to that, just a quick question,
can you tell us the top of your list what
it is President Trump has done that in your view?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
May you think he wants to be a king?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Where do you start?
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
The top one, numero uno. The worst thing in your
mind is done. That tells you he wants to be
a king.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Okay, now you I listened to your show as much
as I can make it.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Yourself admitted that.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Donald Trump last the twenty twenty election, Yet he continues
and continues to lie to his listener or to his
followers that he wanted it was there was fraudulent blah
blah blah, untrue.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Number one, it's Scott.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
We got no, no, no, no, We've got to start. I've
got to put Scott on hold because we don't have time.
I'm going to come back to him. I never said that, Okay,
I never said what he said. So let's come back
and see if Scott can give hut give us Scott, Scott, please,
I never said what you said.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
But let's come back.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
You just tell us what's number one on your list
that tells you he wants to be a king?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Well, when you release, when you go after individual states
because people are protesting, Yet you let out hundreds and
hundreds of those who supported you and march to your
lockstep wise and attacked our people's house and our right
to a free.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
And fair election to try and overthrow our government. And
then you let them freely. If that's not a king,
I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Okay, well, let's think let's start with that for a
quick second. So it's the use of the National Guard
right in LA in Chicago that has you thinking that
he wants to be a king. I'm just trying to
get a better understanding. I know we're going to disagree
on this.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Releasing terrorists that attacked our people's house and our right
to free and fair elections on his lies.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Okay. So it's want to.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Go after peaceful protests, Scott lies about the weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Okay, So you are withdrawing your point one the use
of the National Guard in LA and Chicago.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
That's part of it.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Okay, great, Okay, I'm just trying to get a better understanding.
There are obviously easy and strong arguments to refute all
of that, but I'm just trying to Oh, okay, well, great,
let's start with La. So you think at that point
the mob should have been able to just overrun ice
in LA and the mob should be able to overrun
ice in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
I think the states should be able to do whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
They want to.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Okay, all right, then That's where I was going, my friends.
So please understand what you're saying is you want to
be a king. Your side wants to be a king.
You want to get rid of our constitution? Yes, because
and I put them on hold. What you're saying is
the state should be able to do whatever they want.
Guess what that is the king like behavior. And that's
what we're talking about here, Scott, is you're the ones
(32:42):
who want to be the kings. You're the ones who
want to tear up the constitution because you got your
asses kicked and an election and our guy is rocking it.
That's what's really going on. The Other thing that's going
on here, Scott, is that you're being used. I have
no doubt you're sincere in your beliefs. You went out
there to peacefully protest.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
A guy you despise.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I have no doubt about that, and I defend your
right to do that under our same constitution that you
want to tear up. But understand how you are being used.
The people putting millions of dollars into organizing this didn't
organize it on Saturday so that you would affect the
political arc because you didn't, even if there was an
(33:23):
election coming up in November, this would not have affected
it over the weekend. Go back and look at some
of the protests before Trump won the second time. No,
what I believe, and I can't prove this because I
don't have the point of power. My personal belief is
that is that you are the firewood. You are the
dry firewood. And that's not meant as an insult to you.
(33:47):
You're sincere. I think that you're sincerely misguided at this point,
but you're sincere.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
You are the dry firewood.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
The day will come when they bring the flamethrowers, and
it may only take a handful of them.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But my own personal.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Belief, not fact, but belief, is that this entire weekend
was a rehearsal of the mechanics. It was a rehearsal
to put the mechanics in place for future civil disobedience
on demand. Because the big money behind this, the far
(34:26):
lefties behind this, they see where this country is going.
Trump is succeeding at a very high level, Conservatism is succeeding.
The Left is no longer going to be able to
win enough places consistently at the polls to get and
keep power. They see this happening, and so what you're
(34:48):
seeing being put in place is just the mechanism for
future large scale civil disobedience. It doesn't mean Scott would
ever break the law or would want to break the
law at all. It means they're putting the mechanics in place,
and then next time around, or whenever it is they
decide they need civil disobedience, they've got this process in place.
(35:11):
They get a lot of people like Scott out there
who have no intention of breaking the law. But what
do you think it would take but a handful of
flamethrowers and people there to incite the mob and lead
the mob to close highways, overwhelm law enforcement, shut down
government operations. That's what I believe this weekend was about,
and I think Scott was being used by them.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
And good on
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Scott for going out and peacefully demonstrating, but watch out
for what's to come.
Yeah, yeah, a lot of American Mary going on this weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hope you were part of that.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Three oh three seven one three eight two five five
The number takes d A and five seven seven three
nine the icon Shannon Scott behind the glass today.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Always great to see Shannon and what a waste?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Right, Like there's it's hilarious because I happen to be Catholic,
and in the Catholic community, every now and then you'll
get a priest who's just like movie star, handsome everything else.
And then sometimes the ladies in the parish will name
them father, what a waste? And then the kids are
always saying, father, what a what? And uh yes, so
it's inside Joe. But anyway, Shannon is our what a
(00:39):
waste here in the talk radio business because you know,
Shannon's been behind the glass?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
How many years now? Shannon ninety five? So is that thirty? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So that's good preparation for being entombed in glass, right.
I think that's in your will when you go. You
just want everybody to be able to just have a
fresh look. I wonder if anybody's ever done that other
than you know, like saints and everything else. Whose bodies
or some whose bodies don't degrade. But if you ever
heard of anybody actually doing that, being entombed.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
In glass lenin.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Interesting but this makes my point. Could have been both,
but this makes my point. See, Shannon would have the
number one talk show everywhere if he would just flip
to the other side of the glass. But he has
insisted over all these decades in staying back there, which
is a waste, my friends, So please chime in anytime,
which I know you.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Won't, but I wish you would.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Three at three seven to one three A two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine
meant I have been dying since Saturday to talk to
you about this No King's business, because chances are you
probably ran into one of these AstroTurf gatherings somewhere over
the weekend. And and just you know, like me, I
(01:55):
ran into two, two different ones, and one down here
and one up in the mountains because I was heading
up to the cabin. So I ran into one in
the south part of the metro over at Arapowan University,
and then I ran into one up in Edwards, Colorado
at the main traffic circle. So I ran into two
about equally sized. I would guess I wasn't going to
(02:18):
do a head count. I was going through a red lights,
stopped at well, no, I was going through a green
light down here, and then stopped at the traffic circle.
I do not go through red lights, but I would
guess both had hundreds. I mean, they were good turnouts,
but I saw some of the same signs at both, which.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
You know is no indictment of anybody.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Obviously there was a lot of coordination here, but I'm
dying to get your take, Well, what do you think
these were all about? We know who organized them for
the most part, and we'll go through some of those
details because I want to get your take on what
the purpose was, what the purpose was on Saturday, because
my own personal theory, I can't prove it to be fact.
It's just my belief is that there's a long term
(03:01):
purpose and that Saturday, other than putting the mechanics in
place for the long term play, Saturday wasn't about anything
in particular. So I just want to get your take
on what was going on there. Hey, and so much
more to talk about today. We're going to be talking
as well about what happened here locally, which was great job.
(03:26):
By DPD, which is no surprise. That's what dp does
when they're allowed to. What's interesting is they were allowed
to in this example. Why did the Johnston administration allow
DPD to do what it does so well, which is
do its job very well. So we'll dive into that also,
and you may have run into that when you were downtown,
(03:48):
So I want to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Hey, on a lighter note.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Lighter note, just let me start with Denver Broncos because
you know this and you know by now this big
historic come from behind victory yesterday was you know, every
adjectivit you can think of.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But here's the point.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
If the lasting lesson is learned, then yesterday will go
down as one of the most important days in Denver
Bronco football history.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
If the lasting lesson is.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Not learned, it will go down as a sugar high
and a waste. Because if the lesson from yesterday is
not learned, then this team, which has every conceivable ingredient
from ownership down to everyone on the roster, it is
every ingredient it needs for high level success for a
(04:36):
long time to come if they learned the lesson from yesterday.
If they don't, then we're going to waste that it's
going to be another what away, Shannon? Do you have
any guess, my friend, because Shannon has produced sports, produced
all these teams, done everything else. Are we on the
same We haven't talked about this. Are we on the
same wavelengths? On the lesson to be learned from yesterday?
(04:57):
What do you take away from that Bronco game?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I didn't see it, so I don't know what to
tell you. What were you doing? How did you not
see that?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I was sleeping because I had to work pregame and
then a postgame.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Holy in the.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Game, Holy Cow. Well, at least I've got an excuse.
I turned it off with six minutes left. I didn't
even see the comeback. I didn't think there was one
chance in the world. I was so upset by what
I'd seen. I stopped listening. Yeah, don't tell Dave, but yeah,
I was driving down from the mountains and I just
stopped listening. I was so disgusted because the lesson was
(05:31):
so clear, and I know everybody knows the outline of
it now, right Broncos had zero points through three quarters
and scored thirty three points in the fourth quarter to
win thirty three to thirty and defense had given up
a bondch earlier in the game, and I guess gave
up points throughout the whole game. But here's the point,
the lesson from yesterday, and then I'll get off this
(05:53):
Bronco thing, even though it's what everybody's talking about today.
The lesson is simple, Let bow loose, Let bo Knicks play.
And I'm telling you we saw this before, right if
you were around when John Elway was here, particularly in
the early years, you know John Elway a great gunslinger
(06:17):
type of quarterback. Now bow Knicks is and John Elway
john always one of the top five of all time
at the very least, might be top three of all time.
But bow Knicks is a really good, smart, competitive young
quarterback who can play and win for you when you
allow him to do his thing, which is play football,
not be some mechanical piece seven intricate coaching scheme where
(06:41):
coaches over control the athletes. And listen, I'm a big
fan of this head coach. The Broncos have Sean Payton.
They're much better with him. They've been much better, certainly
in the last year. But coaches are human too, They're
like the rest of us. Egos get out of control
and it becomes all about the coach, and then coaches
are over control. All very well intentioned. Everybody wants to win, right,
(07:03):
but then coaches start over controlling. Oh no, you know,
Bo can get a little while Bo can throw a pick.
We don't want to pick, and then they get over
controlling and too cautious. Let the man play football and
you're gonna get some picks, but you're gonna get a
whole lot more touchdowns like you did in the fourth
quarter when they turned them loose because they had to,
(07:24):
because they had to.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It was the same thing with Elway.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Do you remember that, Shannon, when they would turn Elway
loose late in games when they had to because they'd
over control them through three and a half quarters.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And then John.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Elway, Yeah, the world class athlete would emerge. He'd be
allowed to play football, and he'd have all these comebacks.
Why do you think Elway had all those comebacks because
they wouldn't let the man play football for three and
a half quarters.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And that's what's going on with Bo.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Nick's that monstrosity in London, Holy cow, that was a
national international embarrassment because they wouldn't let bow Nicks play football.
Is somebody going to tell me that the same man
who put thirty three points on the board in the
fourth quarter yesterday couldn't have put some points on the
board in the first three quarters if you let him
(08:12):
play football. So, yeah, we can live with some mistakes.
We can live with some picks. We can live with
some really stupid picks, because all the greatest quarterbacks in
history have thrown some stupid picks, but they overcome that
with their greatness and throwing more touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So please, Broncos, listen.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
We have the best ownership group in all of football,
really really good coaching staff, really really good roster. Obviously
great fans. Learn the lesson from yesterday. Turn bow Knicks loose,
turn the offense loose, let them play football. Live with
the mistakes, because if you keep trying to over control them,
you're going to get the ugliness we saw in London
(08:55):
and the ugliness we saw for three quarters yesterday. Shannon Scott,
you have seen it. Is there any.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Flaw in that logic? No? Thank you, thank you. Did
you give that answer any thought whatsoever?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Again?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Okay, I appreciate your frankness. Three or three?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Someone three eight two, five five the number text DA
and five seven seventy nine when we come back. What
do you make of this whole No King's thing. I'll
give you my theory. It's just that I can't proof it.
But there's no doubt in my mind what Saturday was
really all about, and it was not about Saturday.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You're on the dan Kapla show the response.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
On Nora Who.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What's your response to the protest over the weekend?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
The new kings processes.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I think it's a joke.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I looked at the people if they're not representative of
this country. And I looked at all the brand new
science made for I guess it was paid for by
sous another radical left lunatics. It looks like it was.
We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very
in effect, and the people who are worked out, when
you look at those people, those are not representative by
(10:04):
the people of our gun joyb.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
I'm not a king.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I'm not a king.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I work my ass off to make our country great.
That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I'm not a king at all. So what do you
make of this No King's business? This weekend?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Three or three seven one three eight two five five
text d A N five seven seven three nine. First,
at this point, I think it's generally understood right that
George Soros and his different organizations were likely behind the funding.
It appears through the Open Society's Foundation, a George Soros foundation.
(10:40):
Nobody's trying to hide that, And it looks like from
the reporting I've seen, the Open Society's Foundation then donated
large sums like it appears up to seven point seven
six one million total over time to Indivisible Organization, and
that you then had and they serve as an overall
(11:01):
data managing, communication managing type of umbrella organization. And then
you had a bunch of organizations you're probably familiar with,
you know, just hundreds actually then involved as part of
this network to get people out there. So that appeared
to be the framework of this thing. But big question
I have for you is why what was the point
(11:24):
of it? Obviously the midterms are a year away, there's
no presidential what's the point of doing it Saturday? What
do you think they hope to gain from that? You know,
the people who put all this together. Now, I think
the answer to that question is probably going to be
different than a lot of the people who just turned
out which listen. I only saw two of these groups,
(11:45):
one here and one up in the mountains, and so
I saw what a total of maybe a thousand or
two thousand people. Can't draw any conclusions from that. I
didn't get out of the current interview people or anything
like that. I did have some general impressions, and I
thought it was help hopeful to have seen groups both
down here at a university and a rappah and then
(12:06):
a group up in the mountains, up in Edwards. I
thought it was helpful to see both groups. Stunning striking
similarity between the two groups that we'll get into as
take calls and get to text. I've obviously got my
own theory on this, but you know, I don't want
to sort of pollute the waters here with that until
(12:26):
we take some calls and text. But I have a
very very strong theory as to what was the intent
of Saturday, because it just seems so random, right, put
all that money, all that time, all that effort into
something that wasn't geared to an election, or wasn't geared
(12:47):
to a particular issue. This wasn't, say, post the death
of George Floyd or anything like that. I'll bet after
we take a few calls, you know, people are going
to have the same theory that I do. We'll find out.
We'll start in beautiful Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Talk to Scott. You're on the Dan CAPITALI show how
you doing, Scott, Hey.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Dan Goodman, yourself my friend.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
Well, I think it's a joke that Trump claims that
all of us that who were there are a bunch
of radical left lunatics, because I was in the heartbeat
of it all, and there was no violence, no negativity
towards our country.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It was all the love for our country.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
It was all about peace and pushing against I want
to be king, who is also a want to be
dictator who is obviously stripping people of you know, our
right to free speech by trying to shut down, you know,
opinions and sending tax paying military into the States to
(13:50):
try and silence people who oppose him of you know,
opposing a man who released hundreds of actual care to
attack our capital on January sixth because.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
He was man enough.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Can we take the election loss?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Can we take these There's nothing about negativity.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You can take a breath, that country, you can take
a breath.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'll let you talk as long as you want, my friend,
I just I want to take them one by one
because we only got a two hour show.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But I'd love to go through all of this with you.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
First, Thank you for calling, because you were there, and
you know, I just drove by a couple of these,
So I want to find out, like, mechanically, how did
you get there? Who told you about it? Who'd you
get an email from? If you did, how'd you end
up there?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:37):
So social media in the news, I mean, it's global
and once you if you care about this country and
you want to push back about against somebody like him who.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Wants to be a king and is not, can I
just get a quick question on it, because I really
i'd love to learn from you.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'd love to learn the mechanics, et cetera. But can
we start with this.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
If Trump's a king, why why were those protests even aloud.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
And nobody said he's okay, wants okay okay, and he
does because he's the one who's trying to silence our country.
He's the one who is taking trying to strip people
of their rights. He's the one who's trying to strip
free speech. He's the one who's releasing actual.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Heroris and him.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I want to get into Fryan King any better than that, Scott.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Okay, I just want to clarify some things out of
the gate, and then we can get into the specifics.
Hopefully I get your bullet points, but I'd really love
to get specific examples behind those. So what you're telling us,
my friend, is that you weren't part of any organization,
You weren't contacted by any organization, You didn't receive any
kind of email, because we know that happened with a
(15:44):
lot of people.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Nothing illegal about that, nothing wrong about that.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
I talked.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
I talked to dozens and dozens of people, and that
is laughable because there are no paid protesters. We're there
protesting fell A free because we can't stand the man
and what he's doing to this country.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
The word paid wasn't in my question anywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I was just asking about emails, logistics.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
How you got there?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, Well, and I just want to let you know
that there are plenty of groups that have acknowledged that
they have been involved in organizing, sending out emails, getting
people to a particular location.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
George Soros's organization is wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I just said that Scott, Scott, do you listen?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I mean, seriously, do you listen to me at all?
I heard exactly what you just didn't process.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
It's okay, Republican boogeyman, the Republican Bookieyman.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
That's a joke.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
No, he's America's boogeyman.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But that aside, Scott, listen again, I'm just trying to
learn from you your perspective on what was going on there.
So what you're saying is you just learned this is
going to be happening in certain times, certain place, right,
and so you decided to go down because you don't
like Trump and you don't like what's going on.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Right, because I care for our country.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Okay, okay, great, I don't care what he's.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Doing for our okay great.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
And because they try to paint it as a hate
America protest when everybody that was there was wearing flags, peace, love,
good hearted people.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
There. There was people from seven year olds.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And were chanting against Trump up to ninety year olds.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
People scared there weren't.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh no, I'm not scattered. Don't be so defensive. I've
given you more airtime than either Shannon or I have had.
The seven year olds I was laughing at the thought
of the seven year olds because I saw a video
somewhere where they had a seven year old like stabbing
an effigy of Trump. I'm not saying it was at
one of these rallies, but and I was not laughing
at that image. That image disgusted me. But let me
(17:46):
ask you, what were the seven year olds chanting? And
and were those ideas.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Must go okayp.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Must go okay okay.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
There was no violence, no negative, no stabbing.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
No you know, everybody that I love that was wearing
peace signed it was. It was, It was.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
It was a little different than the Bernie Sanders squretesting,
where people were furious, forty thousand people that were.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Pissed off because of what was going on after he
was elected.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
This was a little more happy fu to Trump, you know,
protest against.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
A quick quick question.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We've got about twelve seconds, and youre welcome to come
back on the other side, because I have some questions
I'd really like to ask you, but did anybody give instructions?
Was anybody in charge? We'll start with that. Other callers
on the Dan Kapla show, maybe what's.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Your response to the protests over the weekend, the new
King RUDINSS.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I think it's a joke. I looked at the people
if they're not representative of this country. And I looked
at all the brand new science paid I guess it
was paid for by sous and other radical left lunatics.
It looks like it was. We're checking it out. The
demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people who
were walked out, when you look at those people, those
(19:01):
are not representative by the people of our country. I'm
not a king.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I'm not a king.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I work my ass off to make our country great.
That's all it is. I'm not a king at all.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
President Trump on that big question for you is what
do you make of this whole no king's business? Over
the weekend, we are very fortunate to have Scott with us.
Scott's from Boulder, and he tells us he was there
and that nobody sent him an email or anything. He
just heard about it. He's not happy with what's going
on with President Trump, so he went out there. Scott,
thanks for hanging with us, my friend.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The question we.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Left at the table on the table at the end
of the first segment was what do you think you
accomplish Saturday. Obviously we don't admit terms coming up. It's
not a presidential year. This wasn't following say the death
of George Floyd or anything like that. So what do
you think it accomplished? What did you hope to accomplish?
Speaker 7 (20:00):
And you know, to go back at what Trump was
saying on your SoundBite there.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
That it was small.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
I don't think seven million people across our country is.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Small by any means.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
You know, Denver alone thirty thousand, and everywhere I drove
the corners were packed with protests. So what it's it's
a voice that Trump's trying to take from us.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
So by all of us being able.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
To voice our opinion and showing obviously Republicans are a
little nervous because they can see the massive size of
these events. Look at Chicago, even the smaller towns, look
at the size of these protests. Is exposing that to
maybe the warrior or the person that's sitting on the side,
or you.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Know, maybe the the you.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Know, center center voter that maybe wondering what they want
to do and that they can see what's going on
here's world.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Let me ask you about that, Scott, And I know
you have a lot to say, and we're grateful for that.
Let's take it one by one to your point about
that center voter, right, were there any significant turnouts in
swing states?
Speaker 7 (21:09):
You know, I haven't dug that deep into it, Okay,
So I don't know, I really, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
They're just an important question, I think because listen, I
can understand that, you know that the people who voted
against Trump, who wanted a different type of America, who
wanted a different approach to government, I can understand that
they're frustrated right now. I want them to be frustrated
right now. I don't want them to be happy with government,
(21:36):
because they're only going to be happy with the government
that I think would destroy this country. So I think
that it's to be expected, right that in deep blue
places like this, in Chicago, where I grew up, in
places like that, that a lot of good people like
you who just don't want this man to be president,
you know, will be out there frustrated.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
A lot of people like me who are very very
happy he's.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
President, will want to talk to you, you and and
find out, Okay, what was the point of Saturday. So
we appreciate you explaining that. I have a little different
theory on why the people who spent the money to
pull all this together spent the money. But I have
no doubt about your sincerity and your motives.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
So when you say put that money together, I know
the George Soroo Sorrows boogeyman. To all you guys, it's
like what to what to organize and to actually have
an event that's safe and working with the city. And
you know, I don't know who funded all that, but
there's just nothing illegal, there's nothing against it. But paying,
(22:36):
you know, paying or encouraging people to come into protests
for no reason is absolutely very ridiculous because every single
person I talked to was they're full hearted in support
of our country and the destruction that's going through this
man and off.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
But but Scott, you're not disputing the news reporting that
Sorrows his organization spent an awful lot of money to
organize this.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You can.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You can spend allience to organize it without paying anybody
to show up.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Right, So what's wrong with organizing protest?
Speaker 6 (23:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
No nost Amendment.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Right, Absolutely nothing wrong with it as long as it
stays within the law. Which it appears to me for
the most part, these did over the weekend. I can
tell you what really struck me with the two that
I happened to drive through is that both were, as
you say, noticeably cheerful. Noticeably cheerful. The ones that I saw,
(23:30):
I know there were some other places where they weren't.
And the signs were funny. You know, I've seen pictures
of signs that are the opposite of funny. But the
signs were funny. It was noticeably cheerful, and there were
an awful lot of people obviously not happy with Donald
Trump being president. Nothing wrong with that, nothing illegal. But
what's interesting to me, my friend, is there's nothing in
(23:53):
what happened this weekend that's going to change the outcome
of any of these elections, at least not broad swats well,
because there's no there's no reason to believe they would first.
And I'm anxious to get your.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Toe whoa, whoa do you have that that's nothing but ignorance?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Oh, okay, okay, we're going to go there. Oh I
love going there. Look, I love going there. You want
to play the I card have fun with all.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
To say that protesting does nothing is a joke, because
you know what, it's bigger than it was last time.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It was just as big.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
As Let's take it point by point, Scott, I've got
jam lines, but I'll give you the whole darn show.
But we got to have a back and forth. Okay,
you say it was bigger than it was last time?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And what what came from the last one? And how
big were the protests?
Speaker 5 (24:46):
People are there today?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Today that man does something against the American citizen, stripping
them of jobs, rights healthcare, stripping environmental regulations, attacking our
right to free speech, sending the military into listen.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Scott, that's next on my list.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I want to go beyond your bullet points, and and
you want to play the I card. Well, hey, earlier
I asked you what kind of crowds did they get
in Swing States? You said you didn't know. Did I
call you ignorant? No, it was simply a fact you
weren't aware of, And I understand that.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But but what I'm coming you made ignorant?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Oh right, which you think that protests do no good?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Well, I didn't say that. I didn't say that, Scott, And.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
So it's not going to change anything.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, this particular protest. But that's my point is there.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Aren't you have one every three or four months.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
So what what does that change in the end? Because
how big were the.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
Protests that Americans are concerned, it shows a swing voter
that Americans are concerned.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
You're not alone.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Here's what I think is really going on. I think
there are an awful lot of people like you. You
went out there, well intentioned, You went out there sincere
Now we haven't started to explore the reasons you're upset
with President Trump, and I think once we do that,
you'll see that you're off base. Yeah, you gave me
bullet points. You didn't give me specifics. I want to
get to the specifics. But here's here's my point for
(26:12):
those joining us right now is I have no doubt
about your sincerity and going out there, and I have
no doubt that you are sincerely upset with President Trump.
By I think you'd be a lot less upset if
you knew the full facts.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
But I have no doubt about the sincerity.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Oh oh, I don't know a fact now.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Although I can I ask you a sincere question, does
your family? Can I ask you one question? Will you
allow me to get one question out? Or are you
now reverting kind of this lefty thing? Oh, I'm in
trouble on the fact, so I've got to just keep talking.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Let me ask you that I don't know the facts,
but you don't even know.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Let prove it right, how closed minded the right is?
You'll why didn't you go down then listen?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well, you, Scott, why didn't I go down and listen?
I do this show.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Five days a week. You are proof we don't censor anybody.
I get to listen to this every day. Can I
ask you one question? Can I ask you one question?
If not, that's fine, Well, part friends or whatever we are,
and you can go talk to yourself in a corner,
or you can talk to this whole big audience if
you want to have it back and forth.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
But I just.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Really, that's what you call this.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Let me ask you one question, and you promised me
an honest answer.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Does your family invite you to Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Most of my family has passed away?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Oh I'm sorry, my friend. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, because the way you're acting, I would think maybe
you didn't get invited to Thanksgiving?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Ever, how I am acting.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Past the Turkey.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Scott, I'm thinking your audience at America. Oh yeah, there
are concerned Americans out there that listen.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Listen, listeners.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Okay, if you have the right to go out and
protest and listen.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
You've ever even let me get to my point about
what you won't even let me get to my point
about how you're being used because you just keep talking.
But if you want to hang on, everybody on the lines,
thanks for your patients. If you want to hang on Scott,
when we come back, I'll tell you how I think
you are being used, and then you can.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Tell me whether I'm right or not.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Now, everybody on the line, I'll find a way to
get to you in the next segment. We won't spend
the whole next segment with Scott. But then I also
want to ask Scott, you know, what exactly does he
think that Trump's done that that is king? Like, how
has Trump acted like a king? Because I know Scott
has this list of bullet points, but they fall apart
(28:48):
once you get beyond the bullet point, because Trump has
not acted like a king, and each and every argument
the left has here falls apart once you get to
the facts. You're on the den Kapalish. It's like the
oj Simpson trial that went on forever. But we're blessed
to have with us Scott from Boulder, who went out
to the protest because he doesn't like President Trump, doesn't
(29:10):
like this presidency. He understands that he and I have
polar opposite views on that, but we're so grateful to
have him here.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I've had him now.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
This is the third or fourth segment as we get
into some of the specifics about what happened over the weekend,
and so Scott, I do and we have tam lines
and I have to get to other people, but I
want to tell you how I think you and the
others on Saturday were being used because, in my opinion,
Saturday accomplish nothing politically right now, but I think was
(29:42):
critical to the people who and I get that and
thank you for that, but critical to the people who
organized it because of what they're really after long term.
But before we get to that, just a quick question,
can you tell us the top of your list what
it is President Trump has done that in your view?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
May you think he wants to be a king?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Where do you start?
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
The top one, numero uno. The worst thing in your
mind is done. That tells you he wants to be
a king.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Okay, now you I listened to your show as much
as I can make it.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Yourself admitted that.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Donald Trump last the twenty twenty election, Yet he continues
and continues to lie to his listener or to his
followers that he wanted it was there was fraudulent blah
blah blah, untrue.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Number one, it's Scott.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
We got no, no, no, no, We've got to start. I've
got to put Scott on hold because we don't have time.
I'm going to come back to him. I never said that, Okay,
I never said what he said. So let's come back
and see if Scott can give hut give us Scott, Scott, please,
I never said what you said.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
But let's come back.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
You just tell us what's number one on your list
that tells you he wants to be a king?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Well, when you release, when you go after individual states
because people are protesting, Yet you let out hundreds and
hundreds of those who supported you and march to your
lockstep wise and attacked our people's house and our right
to a free.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
And fair election to try and overthrow our government. And
then you let them freely. If that's not a king,
I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Okay, well, let's think let's start with that for a
quick second. So it's the use of the National Guard
right in LA in Chicago that has you thinking that
he wants to be a king. I'm just trying to
get a better understanding. I know we're going to disagree
on this.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Releasing terrorists that attacked our people's house and our right
to free and fair elections on his lies.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Okay. So it's want to.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Go after peaceful protests, Scott lies about the weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Okay, So you are withdrawing your point one the use
of the National Guard in LA and Chicago.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
That's part of it.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Okay, great, Okay, I'm just trying to get a better understanding.
There are obviously easy and strong arguments to refute all
of that, but I'm just trying to Oh, okay, well, great,
let's start with La. So you think at that point
the mob should have been able to just overrun ice
in LA and the mob should be able to overrun
ice in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
I think the states should be able to do whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
They want to.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Okay, all right, then That's where I was going, my friends.
So please understand what you're saying is you want to
be a king. Your side wants to be a king.
You want to get rid of our constitution? Yes, because
and I put them on hold. What you're saying is
the state should be able to do whatever they want.
Guess what that is the king like behavior. And that's
what we're talking about here, Scott, is you're the ones
(32:42):
who want to be the kings. You're the ones who
want to tear up the constitution because you got your
asses kicked and an election and our guy is rocking it.
That's what's really going on. The Other thing that's going
on here, Scott, is that you're being used. I have
no doubt you're sincere in your beliefs. You went out
there to peacefully protest.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
A guy you despise.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I have no doubt about that, and I defend your
right to do that under our same constitution that you
want to tear up. But understand how you are being used.
The people putting millions of dollars into organizing this didn't
organize it on Saturday so that you would affect the
political arc because you didn't, even if there was an
(33:23):
election coming up in November, this would not have affected
it over the weekend. Go back and look at some
of the protests before Trump won the second time. No,
what I believe, and I can't prove this because I
don't have the point of power. My personal belief is
that is that you are the firewood. You are the
dry firewood. And that's not meant as an insult to you.
(33:47):
You're sincere. I think that you're sincerely misguided at this point,
but you're sincere.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
You are the dry firewood.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
The day will come when they bring the flamethrowers, and
it may only take a handful of them.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But my own personal.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Belief, not fact, but belief, is that this entire weekend
was a rehearsal of the mechanics. It was a rehearsal
to put the mechanics in place for future civil disobedience
on demand. Because the big money behind this, the far
(34:26):
lefties behind this, they see where this country is going.
Trump is succeeding at a very high level, Conservatism is succeeding.
The Left is no longer going to be able to
win enough places consistently at the polls to get and
keep power. They see this happening, and so what you're
(34:48):
seeing being put in place is just the mechanism for
future large scale civil disobedience. It doesn't mean Scott would
ever break the law or would want to break the
law at all. It means they're putting the mechanics in place,
and then next time around, or whenever it is they
decide they need civil disobedience, they've got this process in place.
(35:11):
They get a lot of people like Scott out there
who have no intention of breaking the law. But what
do you think it would take but a handful of
flamethrowers and people there to incite the mob and lead
the mob to close highways, overwhelm law enforcement, shut down
government operations. That's what I believe this weekend was about,
and I think Scott was being used by them.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
And good on
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Scott for going out and peacefully demonstrating, but watch out
for what's to come.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
