Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is dan Kapls and welcome to today's online podcast

Please be sure to give us.
Speaker 1 (00:06):

to subscribe, download and listen to the show every single
day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Let that celebration continue.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Glad you're here eight five five four zero five eight
two five five The number text d an five seven
seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You see this happen every.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now and then, you know, we always get some text
after hours before the show, et cetera. We appreciate that,
love the enthusiasm, but every now and then you just
really have that breakout on an issue that just captures
everybody's attention. And we won't spend the full show on
it today as we did yesterday. But clearly this outrage
in Steamboat, where this great person elt buried up to
(00:47):
its neck in the snow, clearly in pain and misery
and dying, calls State of Colorado. You know, partman and wildlife,
please come and get the ouk. Can They wouldn't do it,
and so she organized a posse to come out in
the morning with shovels. Came from miles around and they
were having breakfast in the animal died, So people still
(01:07):
following up on that, I'll squeeze in some of those
texts today.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I really want to get the wonderful woman who.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Tried to save the Elk on the show and continue
that conversation a bit, so we'll keep working on it so.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Much more to talk about Colorado's own Bagdad Bob.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You remember Bagdad Bob right the Saddam He was like
second or third in Saddam's chain of command, and he
would stand out there and he would say, you know,
we're slaughtering the American troops. The American troops are nowhere
near Baghdad, and you'd see, you know, platoons just walking
behind them of American troops. I mean, you know, so
we have our own Bagdad Bob. I don't mean in
(01:43):
the evil sense, because obviously Saddam is entire regime straight
from hell, but in terms of the willingness to just
say obvious false things it publicly and we'll see about
to Congress, but meryor Mike Johnson of Denver, you know,
it just says these things that he knows when he
says them, are obviously false, and has to know everybody
(02:05):
else knows they're false, but he just says them as
if they're true. I mean, it's really remarkable, though, very
inadmirable trait.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Here's the headline in.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The Denver Post, Denver Mayer agrees to testify to Congressional
committee about immigration enforcement policies.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And the reason I say it's inadmirable.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And I know this sounds naive, right, but the bottom
line is, I mean, truth is like the core value,
and it don't get fair. I've never, obviously, I've said
to somebody, oh that haircut looks great when you're thinking
who dropped a lawnmower on your head? But usually that's
me looking in the mirror. But the point being that
truths should be a core value. And when you run
(02:46):
into people my constitutionally protected opinion, Mike Johnson strikes me
as one of those who has become someone for whom
it seems to me the truth just doesn't matter. And
he says all this goofy stuff. And that's why I
raise the question, Ryan, and nobody's answered it for me.
Maybe nobody cares about this question except me. Is it
fair now in this day and age and states certainly
(03:09):
where you know they're using dope is quote legal is it?
Is it fair to ask collected officials when they say
and do really goofy things all the time, whether they
consume it seems to me like a not only a
perfectly reasonable question that should be posed to somebody like
Mike Johnson. I don't know the answer to it. I
don't know whether he does or not, but looking at
(03:30):
some of the things he says and does, it seems
like a very fair question, and I think it's one
that should become standard with quote legalization. But here's one
that would go onto that pile.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Denver may agrees to testify.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Mike Johnston has decided to testify before a Congressional committee
next month, etc.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
After its members asked him to travel to Washington, d C.
To explain the city's policies limiting cooperation with federal em
greation authorities. That's not what they asked him to explain, right,
they asked him to explain sanctuary city policy. So I
wish the article would just say that, and then here
is the quote from the Johnston administration, so an obvious
(04:16):
preview of his testimony.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
For the last two years, Denver has shown the country
that you can be a compassionate and welcoming city without
sacrificing public safety or course services. Says Jordan Fuja, the
mayor spokesperson. We look forward to discussing with the committee.
Oh is Jordan going to be up there?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No listen. So you've got Mike Johnston who's saying that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He's been able to welcome and by the way, he
implicitly encouraged it to poll us all these lefties, all
these folks to come here illegally. But what he's saying
is that we were able to have all these folks
come in, all these folks come in without sacrificing public
safety or course services.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Ryan, is.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Are the rec centers not core services? Because I remember
some rec centers being closed and then you know, like
Denver couldn't get its flowers, all sorts of stuff, all
sorts of I remember, now, isn't it nine to one
one as well? Didn't they have to cut back the
budget for the nine to one one system? And I'm
sure we're going to start getting text and calls. I
(05:23):
thought there were people they denied they were layoffs, but
they were hourly employees who were no longer getting their hours.
And Johnston has the nerve to stand up through his
spokesman and said that I don't know there were no
core services sacrificed, and certainly on the safety front.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know, that's that's the worst deception of all.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Claiming that there was no impact on public safety because
of all what he calls the newcomers unless they're walking
into his home uninvited, right, that the newcomers who came
into Denver no impact on public safety, blatant o vi
his falsehood. Now, if Mayor Coffin was on the show
with us, what he'd say is, yeah, he dumped all
(06:05):
of the Venezuelans, and listen, this is not a blanket
common on Venezuelans. Obviously, some excellent people came into this
country who were from Venezuela, but you also got a
bunch of these gang members who, it appears, according to
Mike Kaufman, Mike Johnston shipped out to Aurora.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So yeah, it's it's that this ability to just.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Stand up, straight faced and say all these things that
aren't true is really a remarkable and deeply disturbing trait.
Not to be admired eight five five for zero five
e two five five of the number, but as I
said before, you know, to temper expectations.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Johnston knows. I mean, he's looking forward to this.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He is thrilled that he got this invitation because he
knows there's no real chance to cross examine him. There's
no real chance to cross examine him in one of
these committee hearings because each member only gets a few minutes,
and then Johnston can filibuster. You know, give any skilled
informed person twenty minutes with Mayor Johnston on a true
(07:13):
witness stand under oath, with the judge there who can
direct the witness to answer the question, and Johnston would
be completely totally exposed. But this committee it's a walk
in the park. It's a walk in park. There's no
real ability to pin him down. And Ryan, that's one
of the things about these committee hearings, right that just
doesn't get talked about enough, is they are so ineffective
(07:37):
because there is no presiding judge. I understand there's a
committee chair who can bang the gavel and say a
couple of words, but there's no presiding judge to control
the proceedings, to say to the witness, such as you know,
Mike Johnston of Denver, Mayor Johnston, please answer the question.
You know, you did not answer that question. So that's
(07:58):
what makes these committee hearings, you know, so ineffective.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
They're faulty for two reasons, and they're kind of the
same reason on both sides. And that is either a
member of the House Committee or Senate committee will use
their time to filibuster on their own to get TV FaceTime, etc.
Or the witness. And I think it would be more
likely the case with a mayor Mike Johnston will filibuster,
try to draw out an answer so they can run
(08:22):
out the clock and not have to answer the question
to your point.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Right, And that's where you need the presiding judge to
step in. Yes, So now Johnston isn't concerned about this
at all. He won't get pinned down there. He'll probably
never get pinned down. And his bet is that he
will not pay a price with the voters because the
voters don't matter. You have to understand the current mentality
of the Democratic Party in Colorado is the voters don't matter.
(08:47):
That as long as they can win the Democrat primary,
as long as they get the big money from the
far lefties who controlled the Democratic Party, they can win
the primary.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And as long as they win the primary, they're going
to be elected.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And so the voters aren't he look at the way
they behave, look at the way they act. You know,
for these these statewide democrats and a mayor like Johnston,
the voters aren't even in the calculus for them, certainly
not the safety and the best interest of the voters,
not in the calculus at all. And here's proof Exhibit A,
though we have about fifty of them, Exhibit as that
(09:22):
Johnston wouldn't think twice before, wasn't it? The day after
the day after, another innocent Denveright.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Was slaughtered on the mall, The first.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
One a flight attendant visiting the city at her throat
slit by this free killer. The second one the night before,
without any hesitation, Johnston Prance is down to the mall
close to where the blood was spilled and just proclaims victory.
So yeah, that is the mentality. So don't get your
hopes up for this hearing eight five four zero five
(09:54):
two five five takes dam five seven seven three nine
when we come back. Lots to cover, But I do
want to get your take on this story. In fact,
they had it in the news at the top of Hey,
Now you're going to have these speedcams on different highways
in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Do you support that? Do you oppose it? Eight five
five or zero five? A two five to five? Is
it going to change.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Your driving behavior? You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I love this text, Dan, do you feel every day
since one twenty twenty five is like Christmas morning? What
pressense will Trump put under the tree tomorrow morning? That
from Alexa that that's absolutely perfect. I've kind of felt
that way since election day because you saw, starting the
next day right the Trump effect take effect.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Around the world.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'm glad that Eric's going to raise what was going
to be my five o'clock hour topic. But it's so wonderful.
Let's start it now. Eric, You're on the Dan Capliss Show.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Welcome by Dan.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
You're great American.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Eric, You doing my friend?
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Okay, Oh my god, young man. I hate to correct Ryan.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I've never heard that.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Hand He said that President Trump signed in the executive order.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
On the no Boys in Girls sports. But that was
a real deal that was signed. That's why Speaker Johnson
and the rest were there in.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
The White House.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
It wasn't an executive order, that was a real He's direct.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
That's right, No, Ryan is Ryan is saying you are
absolutely correct.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
God bless you Ryan for not slapping me.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know when you're.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Right, Ryan, Do you you know, take calls from two
to four?
Speaker 8 (11:48):
Eric?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
If every call was like yours, I'd take calls every day.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I'd find a way.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's just difficult because I don't have a consistent producer.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, but isn't that also kind of the trend in
talk radio that most people are, at least to a
lot of hosts now don't take calls.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Some do.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I think it's a technical issue behind the scenes. See,
Dan is very fortunate to have yours truly, Eric and Kelly,
and so we can kind of run the show behind
the scenes and then Dan can focus on the hosting party.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Eric.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't mean to be the spoiler here, but is
it possible that Ryan is actually right? Because I'm just
looking at a couple of news pieces, both within the
last hour, this one from NBC News. Trump signs executive
order banning trans women from women's sports. So my understanding
(12:36):
has been that this was an executive order and then
I think you're absolutely right that there were a bunch
of people standing around celebrating it, as they should be,
because that this should.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Be one hundred to zero issue in America.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
President Trump says NBC News signed an executive order Wednesday
prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports.
The measure, creatively called the No Men in Women's Sports
Executive Order, is the fourth order targeting transgender people since
the President is signed.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
What awful language the target I watched them.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I watched them in chambers. My brother, Well, they voted
on that.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
The one I think we might get be getting confused
on both you and me, Eric on this is the
Lake and Riley Act, which was passed through Congress and
signed into law by President Trump in bipartisan fashion.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So I might be confusing the two there.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
I think both of them passed, right because.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
NBC we can't trust him.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Then, fair enough, But there are multiple other news outlets
and the same thing, my friend now, LaCl and Riley
Act obviously was about detaining illegal immigrants accused of different crimes.
But yeah, on the issue of restoring sanity this country,
no men in women's sports. That was an executive order today,
(13:59):
and I'm I'm absolutely thrilled to see it.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
So I'm so glad you called on it wrong.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
I guess I got him mixed up too wrong. I
thought it was.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
A real real Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Well, we can only hope that maybe that will follow because,
like we know, executive orders can be undone by a
subsequent Democrat administration.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So yeah, well, Eric appreciated.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Screaming in the radio man and Ryan, Ryan, we could
hear you.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, okay, you could hear it.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Well, I am so glad you called. Thank you, Eric,
because that's my five o'clock hour topic.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
But it is.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's such a good thing. It's such a great thing.
We might as well talk about earlier.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Here is one question I have in my limited experience
with you being wrong, which does not happen often. You
will never admit it when you're wrong, but you'll admit
you're wrong when you're right. So what's all that about?
Because you were right but admitted you were wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
He got me thinking, And then then I was questioning
my because I'm like, well, wait a minute, maybe I
did get it wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I always want to be open to that.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
If I get something wrong, then I definitely want to
correct it on the record. But then I'm thinking back
and I'm like, Okay, I think I confused it with
the Lake and Riley Act, which is the first Act
of Congress on President Trump's watch, he signed it in
a law.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah. I don't think we've had another one since then, though, right.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I think you've got a better excuse than that, And
this one is obviously true.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
You're multitasking. You got a lot to do bad, absolutely
lot do back there.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
So yeah, of course every now and then, Uh yeah,
I'm on bonnexing flowed away.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, No, it does take time to come up with.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That eight five to five for zero five eight two
five to five the number text DA N five seven
seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So at the same day.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You've got Mayor Johnson out there saying, yeah, I'll go
and talk to Congress.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Because hey, Denver, we're the place.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
We've done it, right, We.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Got all these people in here without any increase in
crime or or cut in course services. He has the
audacity to actually say that, right, Well, what about TDA
And by the way, the raids this.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Morning, Kevin in Denver, you're on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Welcome, Hey guys, great show. Thanks thanks for taking my call.
I have a couple of things here. How do you
get that many still informed people around the Capitol?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
That's the question.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
The other one is I drove by there and I
noticed at least three Littleton Public school buses, yellow school
buses parked right on Broadway.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Were those kids at that rally?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Which rally are we talking about?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
The one on the Capitol? The pro pool against uh
seagulls and all that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I would be shocked if that's the case, but a
lot of shocking stuff happens. My guess is they're probably
just down for a tour of the Capitol. But I'm
glad you brought that up. So how big?
Speaker 10 (16:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
You read the stories and then when it's a cause
the left likes, they do this super double triple zoom
to make it look like five hundred people when it's five.
When I can remember several years when I had the
privilege of em see or speaking at the you know,
March for Life, we'd have thousands of people and they'd
make it look like there were four.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So how many were down there?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I would say, if I were to take an educated guess,
I would say, and there was a lot of people
walking around getting there. Yeah, there were probably maybe three thousand.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Well that'd be a big crowd. But here's what I'm
trying to understand. And did it look like a bunch
of school kids? Because you know, sometimes some of the
Denver public schools, the kids will wander out nice spring day,
they'll go down to some protests. But what I'm always
trying to figure out, guys, is because we just saw
in La two. Wait, did you have folks at this
protest holding the Mexican flag?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
There was a car in front of me that was
had their hand out the window waving a Mexican flag.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Because these at these anti deportation protests, you see all
these folks with Mexican flags. What I'm trying to understand
is why are they waving the flag of the cuntry.
You're protesting people being sent to.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Did do you get that?
Speaker 10 (18:05):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I mean, is it the whole protest that people shouldn't
be sent to Mexico, but they're waving the Mexican flag?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Oh, it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I'd love to hear from somebody. Is anybody out there protesting,
Please give us a call. We would love to understand
that logic if if you're so loyal to Mexico, you
admire Mexico so much that you're going to be waving
their flag in a protest in Denver, LA, then why
are you protesting people being sent to Mexico eight five
five four zero five two five five text d an
(18:37):
five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast, Maxine Waters.
Speaker 11 (18:52):
We want to use our money right here in Washington, DC,
in this country.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
We want to make.
Speaker 11 (18:59):
Sure that all about federal employees, about that this right.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
At that cut fired in the middle.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Let me let me get it to you from the beginning,
because the beginning's the fun part. And the fun part
of this is that, as predicted, what's happening now is
the multiplier effect, the force multiplier of the Trump victory,
because Trump winning and stopping the left from another term
and all of that saved the country right once again,
(19:28):
Trump voters saved the country. But the other big thing
we need is for the left to be exposed for
the nut jobs they really are and the far left
secular crazies they really are in order for us to
get maximum long term benefit from this. And that's exactly
what's happening before our eyes. So here's Maxine Waters and
(19:51):
she's together with but we've got more sound from this.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
She's together with another big group of Dems.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
And they obviously at this point have completely lost it.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
We want to use our money, right.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
All right, I'm I I understand the process, my friend,
I just once again humbly suggest that we invest more
than fourteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
System for this.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Uh, unless it is the tools, what a good craftsman's
going to lie? Right, So let's say you have the
best possible sculptor, right, and let's say that that it's
going to be the greatest creation since the Pieta. And
you've got this beautiful, beautiful work of art almost done, Lucifer.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And you go to swing the hammer.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You go to swing the hammer that last little chisel
and the head of the hammer flies off and it.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Knocks off the head of the sculpture.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You're going to blame. You're going to blame the craftsman.
At that point, no nobody wants to hear this, but
I'll bet this can. Literally, I've been on air here
thirty years. This thing predates me. They didn't even have
computer cent We have got.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
To tell Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Nobody elected your.
Speaker 11 (21:11):
Ass, Nobody talk to you can get all of our
private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge
of the payments.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Of this country.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
We have told you.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
You've made enough money off our government yourself, and now
you want to take everybody else's payroll and make sure
that they don't make the kind of money that you've made.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He's broken her, right, I mean, that's just somebody who's
lost it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
How are all these members of Congress millionaires by the way,
right right?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And how is Elon Musk trying to make sure everybody
doesn't make as much money as here? I mean, no,
they're truly losing it. And the beauty is that people
can see it. And I understand, if you're listening to
this show, you're probably politically active on one side or
the other're probably on the right, but politically active, you're
dialed in.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And we all know that the.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Vast majority of American voters have chosen not to prioritize that,
and so they're not dialed in every day, but they
can see this. That's the point. We've reached, that flash
point now where stuff like this cuts through the noise,
and so much of it is happening.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
They can see, Wow, you know what this Democratic Party?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It isn't what I thought the Democratic Party was because
most people vote out of Habit right, most people vote.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Democrat out of Habit.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
As a former Democrat, I know most people vote Democrat
out of Habit But they've.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Been exposed now.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Which comes back to the President today signing that EO
on no men in women's sports, an issue that if
there is any one single issue that won the election
for him, it's probably that one. Because they spent over
one hundred million on those devastating ads, and I think
it's probably true that a lot of that money came
from Elon Musk, who's been pretty smart about how he
(22:51):
spends his money, and those ads cut through, and I
think those ads may very well have been the difference maker,
as they should have been, because, as we've talked about,
nothing really exposes the modern Democratic Party for what it
truly has become. Then this really bizarre, surreal anti science devotion,
(23:13):
devotion to approvably false premise that there are more than
two genders, and to this barbarity of making it their
priority to make sure that all these kids who want
to can get chemically altered or surgically altered or whatever.
It's it's bizarre, it's illogical, it's in humane. But it's
become next to abortion, kind of the dual altar of
(23:36):
the Democratic Party, and.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
It's just exposed them.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
And that's what's going to work so great long term
for America and for the GOP because people see that, Yeah,
once again Trump's getting it done. So oh yeah, I
think go you know, look at voting GOP in the
future for those who don't. And then the other thing is,
you see how goofy the left is. Even Kimmel admitted it. Right,
let me play that sound before we take calls and texts.
(24:00):
This is Jimmy Kimmel who ends this by saying, we
are so blanked and he's talking from the left, and
he's right.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
There are so many lies coming out of his mouth.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
There's so much damage being done.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
But we are not gonna sit back and take it.
Our leaders on the left are gonna stand up for
what's right.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
We are gonna fight this fight. I am gonna.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Stand with you in this fight, and we will win.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
We will win. We well whin.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
We will win.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
We will win.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
We will We won't rest.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
We won't rest. We won't rest. We won't rest. Oh
we are So what's Jimmy Kimmel?
Speaker 8 (24:47):
We are we are doing?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And he's right. Doomed is the word for it.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Because people aren't going back, right, I mean, once they've
seen the truth about what this modern Democratic party is,
only the hardcores are staying there. Isn't that the latest
polling ryn I thought the latest national poll I saw
Quinnipiac Democrat Party favorables.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Were down in the low thirties. Yeah, unfavorable was fifty seven, yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Right right, So but the biggest thing is people aren't
going backwards now when it comes to the benefits.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
To their own life.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I mean, all these raids, people see, they know these
raids are not to get people who came here I
legally and have been living peacefully and they're nice people
and everything else. All these raids are to get people
who came here I legally and are committing other crimes.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
So everybody knows their.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Community just got safer today. Denver just got safer today
with these raids. Colorado just got safer with those raids
out in Adams County. Everybody knows that they're not going
to want to go.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Back thirty one percent of registered voters have a favorable.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Beginning of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, yeah, and yeah, those numbers may bounce up and
down a little bit, but people are not going to
go back now enough for the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
To think about that. Dan, it's three and ten. Yeah, horrifying.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And I'd like to talk to those three and figure
out what they're thinking, wouldn't you.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, they were downtown today.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Got some Texters who are talking about this very important story.
We did the whole show yesterday. Saw squeeze in a couple. Dan,
I'm an outdoorsman and I would have attempted to save
the elk right away.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
That's said.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I want to illustrate to you why you're overdoing this
story if you are not willing to question the actions
of the rescuers. Here goes, if it was a human
stuck in that snow under the same circumstances, be a child,
a woman, or a young, healthy, strapping young man, and
there were no first responders in route, do you think
(26:43):
those available would wait all night to try to rescue
that person, and then after waiting all night, sit down
and have breakfast together before they would start their rescue.
Of course not And thank you for the text. But here,
I think is the obvious difference, and the very quick
background of the story is beautiful elk caught up to
its neck and snow in a large backyard of a
(27:05):
woman in steamboat. She calls parks and wildlife please come
save the elk. They refuse, let nature take its course. Garbage,
I say, bureaucratic laziness, nonsense, unacceptable in a civilized society
to let that creature of God suffer physical pain, emotional pain,
and die a slow, tortureous death. So they refuse, and
the woman says, I've to get I got to do something.
(27:27):
And this heroic resident calls people. They come from miles away.
They're their first thing in the morning with shovels to
dig the elk out, and then when they're having breakfast
before going out, because that's going to be a hard job,
the elk perishes. But here's the difference, my friend, as
I see it, the difference is that, first of all,
(27:48):
I think these people should be so admired the citizens
for going to that trouble to save the elk, and
the state should be condemned for not saving the elk.
But because it's an elk. I think they could have
reasonably thought that the elk might might survive, you know,
in another day or whatever, so unlike with the human. Okay,
(28:10):
we're all humans, we know how all that works. You know,
the human's not going to survive. So I think there's
that critical difference. And I do think there's a difference
between a human and an elk. Obviously, I value the
elk very, very highly because it was created by God.
It's a living creature that feels pain, that has emotions,
(28:30):
and so that's why I'm so outraged the state did
not save this elk. But there is a difference between
the value of human and the value of an elk.
So for those reasons, I respectfully disagree, the biggest one
being if it's an elk, I could see the people thinking,
you know that the elk would make it longer than
(28:51):
it made it, But for the state to let that
creature sit there and suffer like that, no, we can't
accept that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
One of the most important outcomes of this Trump victory.
That's another gift that we'll keep on giving. One of
the most baffling texts I've ever received. Dan, your comparison
between a person and an elk being stuck in the
snow is not even valid exclamation points. Stop embarrassing yourself
by making comments like that. I understand those are English
(29:33):
words and they're strung together, but what is this person
trying to say? The only thing I said is that
the wonderful people of Steamboat who banded together to rescue
that elk that should have been saved by the state.
That beautiful creature should not have been allowed to die
like that. But the wonderful people who banded together could
(29:57):
easily think it's an elk. It can survive longer than
a human. Whereas the texture had asked if the human
was buried in the snow, they wouldn't have waited till morning.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Am I missing something?
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Ryan?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for somebody to think we've
got an elk buried in the snow up to its neck.
I've called the state, they won't respond. I'm organizing friends
to come out and save the elk, and we'll do
it in the morning. Wouldn't you have a reasonable belief
that the elk could survive till morning, whereas a human
(30:33):
would not.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Exactly two parts to this one.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I would always prioritize a human life or over an
animal's life. I just would. So that's the first part,
and the second is exactly what you said. The chance
of an elk, the way that it's built, the fur
that it has to survive in that scenario is a
lot higher percentage and for a lot longer time. I
would anticipate then a human stuck up to their neck
in a snow bank.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And we're going to try to get the wonderful woman
on the show who who organize the rescue party for
the elk, and I imagine she'll confirm this, But.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
In this situation, it just seems to me that.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
She must have at a very high level of confidence
that the elk could make it through the night, and
that's why they waited. I would have that confidence, right.
So I see somebody who is just a real hero
going out of her way along with her friends to
rescue a wonderful creature.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
My criticism is of the state.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
The state really needed to step in there, and it
needs to step in in other circumstances like that. Dan
police need to order the protesters to leave or pay
the consequences. We're getting a number of texts about this
protest at the capitol.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Is it ongoing right now?
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Ryan?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Can you check with the newsroom Texters, Yeah, I will.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I know that it was at several state capitals today
including Lansing, Michigan, and several others in here in Denver, Colorado,
and John Fabricatory got caught in the middle of it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I could check in with him for you if you
like him to talk about.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Well, you know, sure, and would really love to know
whether it's still going on because the text came in
a little bit ago that says was just at the
capitol and that protest is full of younger kids. Wouldn't
be surprised if we see some mayhem when night falls.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We hope not.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
But that goes back to the point that the Left
has implicitly green lighted and I would say encouraged violence
and property discussion for a long time now. I mean
it goes back for this, but you look back to
after the death of George Floyd, when the Left was
allowed to rampage, not by our wonderful law enforcement, but
by people in charge, including Jared Poulis, who, as I
(32:47):
recall it literally abandoned his post and disappeared for a
couple of days while the left tore up downtown and
desecrated the capitol, which poulis allowed to stay in that
state for months, by the way, So I do think
there's been this implicit encouragement green lighting from the left
for property destruction other lawless type actions. So let's hope
(33:09):
there isn't any of that. I do come back to
the question nobody's quite answered yet on why are the
folks who are protesting the deportations carrying Mexican flags? Because
if you're saying people shouldn't be deported to Mexico, why
are you carrying a Mexican flag?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
If you think.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Mexico is that great that you're carrying around a Mexican
flag in America, wouldn't you want.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
The people to be sent there? I do not understand
that logic. Bill and Inglewood. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Welcome, Hi Dan, Thanks very much.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (33:46):
I remember the last time that our Fearless Wolf leader
released the new batch of wolves, one of the comments
made was that they've learned their mistake and it cost
a lot more money to patrol the wolves than they thought,
(34:06):
so they've figured it out out how to do it.
So my question is how much money is being spent
on a yearly basis by the patrols that are going
around and following the wolves. Can I imagine that's a
big number.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, good question, my friend.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You The latest number we've seen just for the whole
wolf ree introduction nonsense is a little.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Over five million.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Oh Jesus, yeah, will say this thing works with the
animals and snow. You really need horses to get into
snow depth to even have a chance of getting an
animal that large out. But the other thing I wanted
(34:54):
to get to is can we find out who is
going to be on the committee? Uh? When are Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'll dig that up. Thank you, Bill,
appreciate the call, and everybody online please we'll get you
on right at the start of the next segment.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
But I had talked earlier about how.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
You know lawless Mike Johnston of Denver, the mayor there,
had said he's going to appear before that congressional committee.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Of course he is, because they have no real chance.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
To pin him down. There's no judge. He's just going
to deceive. He's going to fill a buster. Of course
he's going.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
To show up there here on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
Lenn he went to college and racked up huge.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Debt, a little bit over one hundred thousand dollars for.
Speaker 9 (35:39):
A degree he couldn't use.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Now what, I had a friend that went to my
computer career.
Speaker 9 (35:43):
They even helped him get hired immediately after graduation.
Speaker 10 (35:46):
One of the things I love about ideas that you
can work from anywhere you want.
Speaker 9 (35:50):
You could become an IT pro in just months, including
cybersecurity and the basics of AI, with zero experience at
my computer career dot edu.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
It worked for me, and I know it can work
for you.
Speaker 9 (36:02):
This is one students experience. Individual results vary.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
If you're looking for quality service products and plum crazy deals,
think plumb Line services and carrier. Whether staying warm this winter,
clearing drains, or other plumbing and electrical issues depend on

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Glad you're here eight five five four zero five eight
two five five The number text d an five seven
seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You see this happen every.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now and then, you know, we always get some text
after hours before the show, et cetera. We appreciate that,
love the enthusiasm, but every now and then you just
really have that breakout on an issue that just captures
everybody's attention. And we won't spend the full show on
it today as we did yesterday. But clearly this outrage
in Steamboat, where this great person elt buried up to
(00:47):
its neck in the snow, clearly in pain and misery
and dying, calls State of Colorado. You know, partman and wildlife,
please come and get the ouk. Can They wouldn't do it,
and so she organized a posse to come out in
the morning with shovels. Came from miles around and they
were having breakfast in the animal died, So people still
(01:07):
following up on that, I'll squeeze in some of those
texts today.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I really want to get the wonderful woman who.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Tried to save the Elk on the show and continue
that conversation a bit, so we'll keep working on it so.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Much more to talk about Colorado's own Bagdad Bob.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You remember Bagdad Bob right the Saddam He was like
second or third in Saddam's chain of command, and he
would stand out there and he would say, you know,
we're slaughtering the American troops. The American troops are nowhere
near Baghdad, and you'd see, you know, platoons just walking
behind them of American troops. I mean, you know, so
we have our own Bagdad Bob. I don't mean in
(01:43):
the evil sense, because obviously Saddam is entire regime straight
from hell, but in terms of the willingness to just
say obvious false things it publicly and we'll see about
to Congress, but meryor Mike Johnson of Denver, you know,
it just says these things that he knows when he
says them, are obviously false, and has to know everybody
(02:05):
else knows they're false, but he just says them as
if they're true. I mean, it's really remarkable, though, very
inadmirable trait.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Here's the headline in.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The Denver Post, Denver Mayer agrees to testify to Congressional
committee about immigration enforcement policies.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And the reason I say it's inadmirable.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And I know this sounds naive, right, but the bottom
line is, I mean, truth is like the core value,
and it don't get fair. I've never, obviously, I've said
to somebody, oh that haircut looks great when you're thinking
who dropped a lawnmower on your head? But usually that's
me looking in the mirror. But the point being that
truths should be a core value. And when you run
(02:46):
into people my constitutionally protected opinion, Mike Johnson strikes me
as one of those who has become someone for whom
it seems to me the truth just doesn't matter. And
he says all this goofy stuff. And that's why I
raise the question, Ryan, and nobody's answered it for me.
Maybe nobody cares about this question except me. Is it
fair now in this day and age and states certainly
(03:09):
where you know they're using dope is quote legal is it?
Is it fair to ask collected officials when they say
and do really goofy things all the time, whether they
consume it seems to me like a not only a
perfectly reasonable question that should be posed to somebody like
Mike Johnson. I don't know the answer to it. I
don't know whether he does or not, but looking at
(03:30):
some of the things he says and does, it seems
like a very fair question, and I think it's one
that should become standard with quote legalization. But here's one
that would go onto that pile.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Denver may agrees to testify.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Mike Johnston has decided to testify before a Congressional committee
next month, etc.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
After its members asked him to travel to Washington, d C.
To explain the city's policies limiting cooperation with federal em
greation authorities. That's not what they asked him to explain, right,
they asked him to explain sanctuary city policy. So I
wish the article would just say that, and then here
is the quote from the Johnston administration, so an obvious
(04:16):
preview of his testimony.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
For the last two years, Denver has shown the country
that you can be a compassionate and welcoming city without
sacrificing public safety or course services. Says Jordan Fuja, the
mayor spokesperson. We look forward to discussing with the committee.
Oh is Jordan going to be up there?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No listen. So you've got Mike Johnston who's saying that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He's been able to welcome and by the way, he
implicitly encouraged it to poll us all these lefties, all
these folks to come here illegally. But what he's saying
is that we were able to have all these folks
come in, all these folks come in without sacrificing public
safety or course services.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Ryan, is.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Are the rec centers not core services? Because I remember
some rec centers being closed and then you know, like
Denver couldn't get its flowers, all sorts of stuff, all
sorts of I remember, now, isn't it nine to one
one as well? Didn't they have to cut back the
budget for the nine to one one system? And I'm
sure we're going to start getting text and calls. I
(05:23):
thought there were people they denied they were layoffs, but
they were hourly employees who were no longer getting their hours.
And Johnston has the nerve to stand up through his
spokesman and said that I don't know there were no
core services sacrificed, and certainly on the safety front.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know, that's that's the worst deception of all.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Claiming that there was no impact on public safety because
of all what he calls the newcomers unless they're walking
into his home uninvited, right, that the newcomers who came
into Denver no impact on public safety, blatant o vi
his falsehood. Now, if Mayor Coffin was on the show
with us, what he'd say is, yeah, he dumped all
(06:05):
of the Venezuelans, and listen, this is not a blanket
common on Venezuelans. Obviously, some excellent people came into this
country who were from Venezuela, but you also got a
bunch of these gang members who, it appears, according to
Mike Kaufman, Mike Johnston shipped out to Aurora.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So yeah, it's it's that this ability to just.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Stand up, straight faced and say all these things that
aren't true is really a remarkable and deeply disturbing trait.
Not to be admired eight five five for zero five
e two five five of the number, but as I
said before, you know, to temper expectations.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Johnston knows. I mean, he's looking forward to this.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He is thrilled that he got this invitation because he
knows there's no real chance to cross examine him. There's
no real chance to cross examine him in one of
these committee hearings because each member only gets a few minutes,
and then Johnston can filibuster. You know, give any skilled
informed person twenty minutes with Mayor Johnston on a true
(07:13):
witness stand under oath, with the judge there who can
direct the witness to answer the question, and Johnston would
be completely totally exposed. But this committee it's a walk
in the park. It's a walk in park. There's no
real ability to pin him down. And Ryan, that's one
of the things about these committee hearings, right that just
doesn't get talked about enough, is they are so ineffective
(07:37):
because there is no presiding judge. I understand there's a
committee chair who can bang the gavel and say a
couple of words, but there's no presiding judge to control
the proceedings, to say to the witness, such as you know,
Mike Johnston of Denver, Mayor Johnston, please answer the question.
You know, you did not answer that question. So that's
(07:58):
what makes these committee hearings, you know, so ineffective.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
They're faulty for two reasons, and they're kind of the
same reason on both sides. And that is either a
member of the House Committee or Senate committee will use
their time to filibuster on their own to get TV FaceTime, etc.
Or the witness. And I think it would be more
likely the case with a mayor Mike Johnston will filibuster,
try to draw out an answer so they can run
(08:22):
out the clock and not have to answer the question
to your point.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Right, And that's where you need the presiding judge to
step in. Yes, So now Johnston isn't concerned about this
at all. He won't get pinned down there. He'll probably
never get pinned down. And his bet is that he
will not pay a price with the voters because the
voters don't matter. You have to understand the current mentality
of the Democratic Party in Colorado is the voters don't matter.
(08:47):
That as long as they can win the Democrat primary,
as long as they get the big money from the
far lefties who controlled the Democratic Party, they can win
the primary.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And as long as they win the primary, they're going
to be elected.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And so the voters aren't he look at the way
they behave, look at the way they act. You know,
for these these statewide democrats and a mayor like Johnston,
the voters aren't even in the calculus for them, certainly
not the safety and the best interest of the voters,
not in the calculus at all. And here's proof Exhibit A,
though we have about fifty of them, Exhibit as that
(09:22):
Johnston wouldn't think twice before, wasn't it? The day after
the day after, another innocent Denveright.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Was slaughtered on the mall, The first.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
One a flight attendant visiting the city at her throat
slit by this free killer. The second one the night before,
without any hesitation, Johnston Prance is down to the mall
close to where the blood was spilled and just proclaims victory.
So yeah, that is the mentality. So don't get your
hopes up for this hearing eight five four zero five
(09:54):
two five five takes dam five seven seven three nine
when we come back. Lots to cover, But I do
want to get your take on this story. In fact,
they had it in the news at the top of Hey,
Now you're going to have these speedcams on different highways
in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Do you support that? Do you oppose it? Eight five
five or zero five? A two five to five? Is
it going to change.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Your driving behavior? You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I love this text, Dan, do you feel every day
since one twenty twenty five is like Christmas morning? What
pressense will Trump put under the tree tomorrow morning? That
from Alexa that that's absolutely perfect. I've kind of felt
that way since election day because you saw, starting the
next day right the Trump effect take effect.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Around the world.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'm glad that Eric's going to raise what was going
to be my five o'clock hour topic. But it's so wonderful.
Let's start it now. Eric, You're on the Dan Capliss Show.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Welcome by Dan.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
You're great American.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Eric, You doing my friend?
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Okay, Oh my god, young man. I hate to correct Ryan.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I've never heard that.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Hand He said that President Trump signed in the executive order.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
On the no Boys in Girls sports. But that was
a real deal that was signed. That's why Speaker Johnson
and the rest were there in.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
The White House.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
It wasn't an executive order, that was a real He's direct.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
That's right, No, Ryan is Ryan is saying you are
absolutely correct.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
God bless you Ryan for not slapping me.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know when you're.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Right, Ryan, Do you you know, take calls from two
to four?
Speaker 8 (11:48):
Eric?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
If every call was like yours, I'd take calls every day.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I'd find a way.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's just difficult because I don't have a consistent producer.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, but isn't that also kind of the trend in
talk radio that most people are, at least to a
lot of hosts now don't take calls.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Some do.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I think it's a technical issue behind the scenes. See,
Dan is very fortunate to have yours truly, Eric and Kelly,
and so we can kind of run the show behind
the scenes and then Dan can focus on the hosting party.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Eric.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't mean to be the spoiler here, but is
it possible that Ryan is actually right? Because I'm just
looking at a couple of news pieces, both within the
last hour, this one from NBC News. Trump signs executive
order banning trans women from women's sports. So my understanding
(12:36):
has been that this was an executive order and then
I think you're absolutely right that there were a bunch
of people standing around celebrating it, as they should be,
because that this should.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Be one hundred to zero issue in America.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
President Trump says NBC News signed an executive order Wednesday
prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports.
The measure, creatively called the No Men in Women's Sports
Executive Order, is the fourth order targeting transgender people since
the President is signed.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
What awful language the target I watched them.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I watched them in chambers. My brother, Well, they voted
on that.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
The one I think we might get be getting confused
on both you and me, Eric on this is the
Lake and Riley Act, which was passed through Congress and
signed into law by President Trump in bipartisan fashion.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So I might be confusing the two there.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
I think both of them passed, right because.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
NBC we can't trust him.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Then, fair enough, But there are multiple other news outlets
and the same thing, my friend now, LaCl and Riley
Act obviously was about detaining illegal immigrants accused of different crimes.
But yeah, on the issue of restoring sanity this country,
no men in women's sports. That was an executive order today,
(13:59):
and I'm I'm absolutely thrilled to see it.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
So I'm so glad you called on it wrong.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
I guess I got him mixed up too wrong. I
thought it was.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
A real real Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Well, we can only hope that maybe that will follow because,
like we know, executive orders can be undone by a
subsequent Democrat administration.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So yeah, well, Eric appreciated.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Screaming in the radio man and Ryan, Ryan, we could
hear you.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, okay, you could hear it.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Well, I am so glad you called. Thank you, Eric,
because that's my five o'clock hour topic.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
But it is.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's such a good thing. It's such a great thing.
We might as well talk about earlier.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Here is one question I have in my limited experience
with you being wrong, which does not happen often. You
will never admit it when you're wrong, but you'll admit
you're wrong when you're right. So what's all that about?
Because you were right but admitted you were wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
He got me thinking, And then then I was questioning
my because I'm like, well, wait a minute, maybe I
did get it wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I always want to be open to that.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
If I get something wrong, then I definitely want to
correct it on the record. But then I'm thinking back
and I'm like, Okay, I think I confused it with
the Lake and Riley Act, which is the first Act
of Congress on President Trump's watch, he signed it in
a law.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah. I don't think we've had another one since then, though, right.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I think you've got a better excuse than that, And
this one is obviously true.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
You're multitasking. You got a lot to do bad, absolutely
lot do back there.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
So yeah, of course every now and then, Uh yeah,
I'm on bonnexing flowed away.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, No, it does take time to come up with.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That eight five to five for zero five eight two
five to five the number text DA N five seven
seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So at the same day.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You've got Mayor Johnson out there saying, yeah, I'll go
and talk to Congress.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Because hey, Denver, we're the place.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
We've done it, right, We.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Got all these people in here without any increase in
crime or or cut in course services. He has the
audacity to actually say that, right, Well, what about TDA
And by the way, the raids this.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Morning, Kevin in Denver, you're on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Welcome, Hey guys, great show. Thanks thanks for taking my call.
I have a couple of things here. How do you
get that many still informed people around the Capitol?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
That's the question.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
The other one is I drove by there and I
noticed at least three Littleton Public school buses, yellow school
buses parked right on Broadway.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Were those kids at that rally?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Which rally are we talking about?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
The one on the Capitol? The pro pool against uh
seagulls and all that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I would be shocked if that's the case, but a
lot of shocking stuff happens. My guess is they're probably
just down for a tour of the Capitol. But I'm
glad you brought that up. So how big?
Speaker 10 (16:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
You read the stories and then when it's a cause
the left likes, they do this super double triple zoom
to make it look like five hundred people when it's five.
When I can remember several years when I had the
privilege of em see or speaking at the you know,
March for Life, we'd have thousands of people and they'd
make it look like there were four.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So how many were down there?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I would say, if I were to take an educated guess,
I would say, and there was a lot of people
walking around getting there. Yeah, there were probably maybe three thousand.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Well that'd be a big crowd. But here's what I'm
trying to understand. And did it look like a bunch
of school kids? Because you know, sometimes some of the
Denver public schools, the kids will wander out nice spring day,
they'll go down to some protests. But what I'm always
trying to figure out, guys, is because we just saw
in La two. Wait, did you have folks at this
protest holding the Mexican flag?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
There was a car in front of me that was
had their hand out the window waving a Mexican flag.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Because these at these anti deportation protests, you see all
these folks with Mexican flags. What I'm trying to understand
is why are they waving the flag of the cuntry.
You're protesting people being sent to.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Did do you get that?
Speaker 10 (18:05):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I mean, is it the whole protest that people shouldn't
be sent to Mexico, but they're waving the Mexican flag?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Oh, it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I'd love to hear from somebody. Is anybody out there protesting,
Please give us a call. We would love to understand
that logic if if you're so loyal to Mexico, you
admire Mexico so much that you're going to be waving
their flag in a protest in Denver, LA, then why
are you protesting people being sent to Mexico eight five
five four zero five two five five text d an
(18:37):
five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast, Maxine Waters.
Speaker 11 (18:52):
We want to use our money right here in Washington, DC,
in this country.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
We want to make.
Speaker 11 (18:59):
Sure that all about federal employees, about that this right.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
At that cut fired in the middle.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Let me let me get it to you from the beginning,
because the beginning's the fun part. And the fun part
of this is that, as predicted, what's happening now is
the multiplier effect, the force multiplier of the Trump victory,
because Trump winning and stopping the left from another term
and all of that saved the country right once again,
(19:28):
Trump voters saved the country. But the other big thing
we need is for the left to be exposed for
the nut jobs they really are and the far left
secular crazies they really are in order for us to
get maximum long term benefit from this. And that's exactly
what's happening before our eyes. So here's Maxine Waters and
(19:51):
she's together with but we've got more sound from this.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
She's together with another big group of Dems.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
And they obviously at this point have completely lost it.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
We want to use our money, right.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
All right, I'm I I understand the process, my friend,
I just once again humbly suggest that we invest more
than fourteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
System for this.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Uh, unless it is the tools, what a good craftsman's
going to lie? Right, So let's say you have the
best possible sculptor, right, and let's say that that it's
going to be the greatest creation since the Pieta. And
you've got this beautiful, beautiful work of art almost done, Lucifer.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And you go to swing the hammer.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You go to swing the hammer that last little chisel
and the head of the hammer flies off and it.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Knocks off the head of the sculpture.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You're going to blame. You're going to blame the craftsman.
At that point, no nobody wants to hear this, but
I'll bet this can. Literally, I've been on air here
thirty years. This thing predates me. They didn't even have
computer cent We have got.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
To tell Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Nobody elected your.
Speaker 11 (21:11):
Ass, Nobody talk to you can get all of our
private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge
of the payments.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Of this country.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
We have told you.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
You've made enough money off our government yourself, and now
you want to take everybody else's payroll and make sure
that they don't make the kind of money that you've made.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He's broken her, right, I mean, that's just somebody who's
lost it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
How are all these members of Congress millionaires by the way,
right right?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And how is Elon Musk trying to make sure everybody
doesn't make as much money as here? I mean, no,
they're truly losing it. And the beauty is that people
can see it. And I understand, if you're listening to
this show, you're probably politically active on one side or
the other're probably on the right, but politically active, you're
dialed in.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And we all know that the.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Vast majority of American voters have chosen not to prioritize that,
and so they're not dialed in every day, but they
can see this. That's the point. We've reached, that flash
point now where stuff like this cuts through the noise,
and so much of it is happening.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
They can see, Wow, you know what this Democratic Party?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It isn't what I thought the Democratic Party was because
most people vote out of Habit right, most people vote.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Democrat out of Habit.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
As a former Democrat, I know most people vote Democrat
out of Habit But they've.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Been exposed now.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Which comes back to the President today signing that EO
on no men in women's sports, an issue that if
there is any one single issue that won the election
for him, it's probably that one. Because they spent over
one hundred million on those devastating ads, and I think
it's probably true that a lot of that money came
from Elon Musk, who's been pretty smart about how he
(22:51):
spends his money, and those ads cut through, and I
think those ads may very well have been the difference maker,
as they should have been, because, as we've talked about,
nothing really exposes the modern Democratic Party for what it
truly has become. Then this really bizarre, surreal anti science devotion,
(23:13):
devotion to approvably false premise that there are more than
two genders, and to this barbarity of making it their
priority to make sure that all these kids who want
to can get chemically altered or surgically altered or whatever.
It's it's bizarre, it's illogical, it's in humane. But it's
become next to abortion, kind of the dual altar of
(23:36):
the Democratic Party, and.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
It's just exposed them.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
And that's what's going to work so great long term
for America and for the GOP because people see that, Yeah,
once again Trump's getting it done. So oh yeah, I
think go you know, look at voting GOP in the
future for those who don't. And then the other thing is,
you see how goofy the left is. Even Kimmel admitted it. Right,
let me play that sound before we take calls and texts.
(24:00):
This is Jimmy Kimmel who ends this by saying, we
are so blanked and he's talking from the left, and
he's right.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
There are so many lies coming out of his mouth.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
There's so much damage being done.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
But we are not gonna sit back and take it.
Our leaders on the left are gonna stand up for
what's right.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
We are gonna fight this fight. I am gonna.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Stand with you in this fight, and we will win.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
We will win. We well whin.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
We will win.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
We will win.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
We will We won't rest.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
We won't rest. We won't rest. We won't rest. Oh
we are So what's Jimmy Kimmel?
Speaker 8 (24:47):
We are we are doing?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And he's right. Doomed is the word for it.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Because people aren't going back, right, I mean, once they've
seen the truth about what this modern Democratic party is,
only the hardcores are staying there. Isn't that the latest
polling ryn I thought the latest national poll I saw
Quinnipiac Democrat Party favorables.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Were down in the low thirties. Yeah, unfavorable was fifty seven, yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Right right, So but the biggest thing is people aren't
going backwards now when it comes to the benefits.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
To their own life.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I mean, all these raids, people see, they know these
raids are not to get people who came here I
legally and have been living peacefully and they're nice people
and everything else. All these raids are to get people
who came here I legally and are committing other crimes.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
So everybody knows their.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Community just got safer today. Denver just got safer today
with these raids. Colorado just got safer with those raids
out in Adams County. Everybody knows that they're not going
to want to go.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Back thirty one percent of registered voters have a favorable.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Beginning of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, yeah, and yeah, those numbers may bounce up and
down a little bit, but people are not going to
go back now enough for the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
To think about that. Dan, it's three and ten. Yeah, horrifying.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And I'd like to talk to those three and figure
out what they're thinking, wouldn't you.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, they were downtown today.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Got some Texters who are talking about this very important story.
We did the whole show yesterday. Saw squeeze in a couple. Dan,
I'm an outdoorsman and I would have attempted to save
the elk right away.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
That's said.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I want to illustrate to you why you're overdoing this
story if you are not willing to question the actions
of the rescuers. Here goes, if it was a human
stuck in that snow under the same circumstances, be a child,
a woman, or a young, healthy, strapping young man, and
there were no first responders in route, do you think
(26:43):
those available would wait all night to try to rescue
that person, and then after waiting all night, sit down
and have breakfast together before they would start their rescue.
Of course not And thank you for the text. But here,
I think is the obvious difference, and the very quick
background of the story is beautiful elk caught up to
its neck and snow in a large backyard of a
(27:05):
woman in steamboat. She calls parks and wildlife please come
save the elk. They refuse, let nature take its course. Garbage,
I say, bureaucratic laziness, nonsense, unacceptable in a civilized society
to let that creature of God suffer physical pain, emotional pain,
and die a slow, tortureous death. So they refuse, and
the woman says, I've to get I got to do something.
(27:27):
And this heroic resident calls people. They come from miles away.
They're their first thing in the morning with shovels to
dig the elk out, and then when they're having breakfast
before going out, because that's going to be a hard job,
the elk perishes. But here's the difference, my friend, as
I see it, the difference is that, first of all,
(27:48):
I think these people should be so admired the citizens
for going to that trouble to save the elk, and
the state should be condemned for not saving the elk.
But because it's an elk. I think they could have
reasonably thought that the elk might might survive, you know,
in another day or whatever, so unlike with the human. Okay,
(28:10):
we're all humans, we know how all that works. You know,
the human's not going to survive. So I think there's
that critical difference. And I do think there's a difference
between a human and an elk. Obviously, I value the
elk very, very highly because it was created by God.
It's a living creature that feels pain, that has emotions,
(28:30):
and so that's why I'm so outraged the state did
not save this elk. But there is a difference between
the value of human and the value of an elk.
So for those reasons, I respectfully disagree, the biggest one
being if it's an elk, I could see the people thinking,
you know that the elk would make it longer than
(28:51):
it made it, But for the state to let that
creature sit there and suffer like that, no, we can't
accept that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
One of the most important outcomes of this Trump victory.
That's another gift that we'll keep on giving. One of
the most baffling texts I've ever received. Dan, your comparison
between a person and an elk being stuck in the
snow is not even valid exclamation points. Stop embarrassing yourself
by making comments like that. I understand those are English
(29:33):
words and they're strung together, but what is this person
trying to say? The only thing I said is that
the wonderful people of Steamboat who banded together to rescue
that elk that should have been saved by the state.
That beautiful creature should not have been allowed to die
like that. But the wonderful people who banded together could
(29:57):
easily think it's an elk. It can survive longer than
a human. Whereas the texture had asked if the human
was buried in the snow, they wouldn't have waited till morning.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Am I missing something?
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Ryan?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for somebody to think we've
got an elk buried in the snow up to its neck.
I've called the state, they won't respond. I'm organizing friends
to come out and save the elk, and we'll do
it in the morning. Wouldn't you have a reasonable belief
that the elk could survive till morning, whereas a human
(30:33):
would not.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Exactly two parts to this one.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I would always prioritize a human life or over an
animal's life. I just would. So that's the first part,
and the second is exactly what you said. The chance
of an elk, the way that it's built, the fur
that it has to survive in that scenario is a
lot higher percentage and for a lot longer time. I
would anticipate then a human stuck up to their neck
in a snow bank.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And we're going to try to get the wonderful woman
on the show who who organize the rescue party for
the elk, and I imagine she'll confirm this, But.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
In this situation, it just seems to me that.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
She must have at a very high level of confidence
that the elk could make it through the night, and
that's why they waited. I would have that confidence, right.
So I see somebody who is just a real hero
going out of her way along with her friends to
rescue a wonderful creature.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
My criticism is of the state.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
The state really needed to step in there, and it
needs to step in in other circumstances like that. Dan
police need to order the protesters to leave or pay
the consequences. We're getting a number of texts about this
protest at the capitol.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Is it ongoing right now?
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Ryan?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Can you check with the newsroom Texters, Yeah, I will.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I know that it was at several state capitals today
including Lansing, Michigan, and several others in here in Denver, Colorado,
and John Fabricatory got caught in the middle of it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I could check in with him for you if you
like him to talk about.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Well, you know, sure, and would really love to know
whether it's still going on because the text came in
a little bit ago that says was just at the
capitol and that protest is full of younger kids. Wouldn't
be surprised if we see some mayhem when night falls.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We hope not.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
But that goes back to the point that the Left
has implicitly green lighted and I would say encouraged violence
and property discussion for a long time now. I mean
it goes back for this, but you look back to
after the death of George Floyd, when the Left was
allowed to rampage, not by our wonderful law enforcement, but
by people in charge, including Jared Poulis, who, as I
(32:47):
recall it literally abandoned his post and disappeared for a
couple of days while the left tore up downtown and
desecrated the capitol, which poulis allowed to stay in that
state for months, by the way, So I do think
there's been this implicit encouragement green lighting from the left
for property destruction other lawless type actions. So let's hope
(33:09):
there isn't any of that. I do come back to
the question nobody's quite answered yet on why are the
folks who are protesting the deportations carrying Mexican flags? Because
if you're saying people shouldn't be deported to Mexico, why
are you carrying a Mexican flag?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
If you think.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Mexico is that great that you're carrying around a Mexican
flag in America, wouldn't you want.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
The people to be sent there? I do not understand
that logic. Bill and Inglewood. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Welcome, Hi Dan, Thanks very much.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (33:46):
I remember the last time that our Fearless Wolf leader
released the new batch of wolves, one of the comments
made was that they've learned their mistake and it cost
a lot more money to patrol the wolves than they thought,
(34:06):
so they've figured it out out how to do it.
So my question is how much money is being spent
on a yearly basis by the patrols that are going
around and following the wolves. Can I imagine that's a
big number.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, good question, my friend.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You The latest number we've seen just for the whole
wolf ree introduction nonsense is a little.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Over five million.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Oh Jesus, yeah, will say this thing works with the
animals and snow. You really need horses to get into
snow depth to even have a chance of getting an
animal that large out. But the other thing I wanted
(34:54):
to get to is can we find out who is
going to be on the committee? Uh? When are Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'll dig that up. Thank you, Bill,
appreciate the call, and everybody online please we'll get you
