Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's going to get a whole lot more interesting starting tonight,
right because the commedis are coming. Yeah, it's just the
one Mom Donnie who's going to win in New York.
But then you got all these commy cicadas in Colorado
just right under the surface. You can hear them rattling
around down there, and you know they're elected Democrats, they
hold power in the party, but so far they've been
(00:35):
doing the perfumeount of pig thing and pretending to be
moderate in this and that. But hey, Mam Donnie wins.
Some won't be able to help themselves. Some will still
try to pull the con. But who do you think
will run fastest to kiss the posterior of Mom Donnie
three h three someone three eight two five five takes
(00:56):
d A N five seven seven three nine. We know
some others like Bennett and Hick and Looper will will
have to say and do something worshipful of Momdani because
they're very afraid the energy now is on the socialist
side of the Democrat Party. So there should be a
lot of fun to watch in Colorado and maybe help
(01:16):
GOP chances, right, because one thing we know for sure,
and if you disagree, we will send the limo three
oh three seven one three eight two five five. You'll
be the very first caller. Text d an five seven
seven three nine. But we all know this is true.
Colorado is not there. Colorado is not COMMI. Colorado is
not socialist now, Colorado doesn't like Republicans very much right now,
(01:40):
and Colorado doesn't understand just how far crazy secular left
most of these Dems in power are. But Colorado is
not socialist. Just look at the ballot issue votes. So
as soon as as some of these powerful Colorado Dems,
you know, just just expose their true selves, won't people
(02:01):
to help themselves with them? On Donni Kraze, Yeah, you know,
maybe voters think twice about those people will find out
together three or three seven one three eight two five
five As I said, Text d A n five seven
seven through nine. Lots more on the show. We've touched
on the passing of Dick Cheney got rest his soul,
but we talked about how unfortunately he abandoned some causes
(02:23):
he'd served so well, just in order to you know,
battle President Trump, that personal battle, and how sad that was.
But we all want more mercy than justice when our
judgment day comes, and so I hope that Dick Cheney
rests in peace as well, and I wish his family
piece three or three seven to one, three eight, two,
five five, the number a lot. I talked today about
(02:45):
Referendum three ten in Denver, which is the flavored Tobacco band,
and the importance of that in broader ways, because let's
face it, what the drug dealers are doing by trying
to make tobacco now tastes like watermelon and orange, is
trying to attract the kids, hook them young, hook them forever,
and that is despicable. And we need to protect kids
(03:06):
every way we can while still honoring our freedoms. And
that's pretty easy to do, and it's not by selling
it on every street corner. So I respect to Michael
Bloomberg for wanting to come in and protect the kids.
Bloomberg's given five million, but I hope Mayor Bloomberg then
joins me and hopefully you in trying to protect the
kids from legal dope in Colorado repeal Amendments sixty four.
(03:30):
So how do you ever get to the point where
you have this lefty city council of votes eleven to
one to ban flavored tobacco products so the kids aren't
preyed on? But then you know, trips all over themselves
and each other trying to praise and glorify and advanced
legalized dope when legalized dope is doing a thousand times
(03:52):
more harm to the kids than flavored tobacco, and flavored
tobacco is doing a lot of harm to the kids.
Three at three seven one, three two five five. Okay,
let's get to it, texters, Dan, I don't know why
you're going on and on about the flavored tobacco band.
Already have to be twenty one to buy it, and
then they give me a sight So what those bands
(04:15):
don't work? Everybody? Okay, you gotta be twenty one to
buy this stuff, right? Truly, there are so many fake
ideas out there. But again, the green light effect is
the key. When a kid can walk into a store
or walk down a street in the case of dope
and can see these dope stores everywhere, more dope stores
than McDonald's and Starbucks combined. And the kid can see
(04:37):
these flavored tobacco products all over the shelves. There's a
green light effect. It's telling the kid, hey, that stuff
is okay. And with marijuana, it's doing more than that.
It's glorifying it, you know. And so that's the problem
is kids from the beginning of time have found ways
to get this illegal stuff if there's any way they
(05:00):
can do it conveniently. But when you decide, with legalized marijuana,
for example, to just put it there on every street
corner and have all these outlets and it's now, you know,
just just right there and it's legitimized the way Starbucks
coffee is, yeah, you're gonna have a lot more kids
doing it and they're going to have much much easier
access to it. So, Texter Dan, what happened all the
(05:24):
tax money from marijuana sales that was supposed to go
to marijuana education ads. I haven't seen any ads for years. Yeah,
you haven't seen any ads for years because these lefty
politicians are owned by the drug dealers. I'll give you
exhibit A. John Higginlooper, his own health director, we had
him on the show, came up with this great campaign
after the mistake of legalizing marijuana. And the campaign was
(05:47):
don't be a labrat. And I think don't quote me
on this, I think they actually sent around little cages
to different high schools to make the point to kids,
don't be a labrat in this big test that's been
dawn on you about the effects of marijuana. Don't be
a labrat. The industry came in because that campaign was
(06:07):
apparently successful, came in, complained to Hickenlooper, and you know
what new campaign they came up with that hicken Looper approved.
They went from don't be a labrat to marijuana It's
good to Know. So that was John Hickenlooper's idea of
a prevention campaign for kids, encouraging them to use it,
(06:27):
encouraging them to get to know marijuana. Who other than
a drug dealer and the politician living in his pocket
could ever come up with marijuana It's good to know
as the state taxpayer funded campaign headline for kids. Ryan,
you still can't believe that even happened, but it did.
(06:48):
Go look it up. I mean that is how yeah, yeah,
how deeply. I was going to make a non family
friend reference there, But that's how deeply in the pocket
of drug dealers, hicking Looper got not in any illegal way,
but in a profoundly irresponsible and a moral way. Profoundly
(07:13):
And we have liquor stores on every corner. Does that
mean we're saying it's okay to children that they should
drink alcohol. Wait a second, what effect is having liquor
stores on every corner had on kids? It's meant a
lot more kids have become alcoholics. It means a lot
more kids drank alcohol as kids. It means a lot
(07:36):
more kids died in drunk driving crashes and killed their
friends at the same time. How is that any good
for society? How is that anything other than destructive to children?
So what people are saying now is, oh, because we
destroyed all these children by having liquor stores on every
(07:56):
street corner, we gotta do the same thing with marijuana.
Who could be so stupid, Who could be so uncaring
about children? But that is the argument you get from
the dope dealers. Oh no, we killed a bunch of
them with alcohol. We got to be able to kill
a bunch of them with dope, and the same argument
you get from the watermelon flavored tobacco people. Oh no,
(08:18):
we're killing a bunch of them with alcohol and a
bunch of them with dope, so we got to be
able to kill them with tobacco. Think about that argument. No,
the point is learn from, learn from the devastation done
to kids by liquor stores on every corner. Now that
doesn't mean that alcohol has to be legal, of course not,
(08:41):
of course not, just like it doesn't mean that you
can't have strip clubs. There's a first and listen, I'm
not here saying, oh, we got to have strip clubs,
but the Supreme Court is held there's a first amendment, right,
but time, place, and manner. So a lot of jurisdictions
they zone those strip clubs off in industrial parks. So
you want to go see that stuff, Okay, you can
(09:03):
go still see it somewhere, but you've got to be
an industrial park where you don't have kids walking by
it every day. You could do the absolute same thing
with flavored marijuana. But no, the drug dealers, in this case,
tobacco nicotine, they want it on every street corner because
they want the kids seeing it and wanting it. Right,
they want it, and then they're going to find a
way to get it. Same with the dope dealers. They
(09:25):
want the kids seeing it. They want the green light effect.
Oh this can't be too bad. Look at all these
stores that just popped up. It's about time that people
of the state protect the children of the state. So
Mayor Bloomberg, thank you for bringing in the five million
to try to educate people on the harm being done
to kids by flavored tobacco. But how about five hundred
(09:45):
million to overturn Amend sixty four in Colorado because it
is literally doing one thousand times more damage. Legal dope
does one thousand times more damage to kids than flavored tobacco,
and flavored tobacco does a lot of damag You're on
the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
To be honest with you, the country is moving towards Trump.
I mean these polls that come out and show him
not doing well, I don't buy that. I think strength,
his strength is still greater than the Democratic strength. He
is a stronger public figure than the Democratic people. I mean,
Obama still has tremendous charisma, but Trump has strength, and
(10:30):
I think that's what all the voters look for. But
they wanted a president who is a strong figure and
he's got it.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
And he can.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, it's just there and half the country buys it.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
That's what I think.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, Chris Matthews, very honest. That's what we were saying yesterday.
Don't buy these polls at this point. You know they
talk about Trump favorability thirty seven percent. Whatever. I mean,
remember where the pulse were your ago tonight? Oh man,
I wish we could go back in time two year
ago to night. That was such a fun night, especially
since it never really was in doubt. But you can't
(11:06):
be one hundred percent certain until it's done. But wow,
what a fun night. Three or three seven one three
eight two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Not much going on tonight, right. We
know Mamdani's going to win in New York, which is
going to be great for Republicans nationwide because it's going
to expose it's going to expose socialism, communism once again.
(11:27):
It's never worked anywhere and it won't work in New York.
But it's going to help draw to the light right
that the different little Kammi cicadas and socialist cicadas who
are operating just underground now in Colorado, et cetera. Now
they're elected officials, they're party leaders, but they try to
wrap themselves in some kind of moderate cloth when in
(11:50):
fact they support this hardcore socialist and in some case
communists stuff. But they're going to get caught up some
not all in the euphoria of Mandani. Now they're great
new leftist deity as they see it, and they'll just
be drawn to that. So it will help expose them,
which is always a good thing. Not pretty to look at,
(12:11):
but better to know. Three oh three seven one three
eight two five five text d an five seven seven
three nine text in fuego u pun intended is we
talk about the flavored vape band that's on the ballot
in Denver, leftiest cities around Colorado with banded flavored vape
in an effort to protect kids. And I admire the
(12:31):
effort to protect kids. I wish they'd show that when
it comes to legal marijuana too, But why do you
think the difference? Why do you think the difference? I
want to get to some of our Texters on that,
because you have Michael Bloomberg putting in five million. You
have Bolder, for example, along with Denver banning flavored vape
because clearly it's aimed at kids. Why would you want
(12:51):
to change the flavor of tobacco to watermelon other than
try to attract and hook the kids. And so they
want to protect the kids. So why do you think
they want to protect the kids against flavored tobacco, But
they'll allow marijuana to devastate children across this state A
thousand times more damage done by marijuana than flavored tobacco,
(13:15):
and flavor tobacco does a lot. Why do you think
that difference from the left. Let's get to some text, Dan.
When I was fourteen years old, my friends and I
would go tapping stand outside a convenience store and give
money to adults to buy beer for us. Of course
you did, who didn't. I mean that's the point that,
oh there's a flavored vape band, you can't buy it
unless you're twenty one. No, people are going to be
(13:36):
able to get it. Same thing with these dope stores
on every corner. It just means it's going to be
greenlit for kids, and kids are going to be able
to get it a lot easier than the Left knows
that Dan's still waiting here about the Nuggets tickets? What
about the evs instead?
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Ryan.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Isn't this the texter who was insulting me yesterday in
an effort to convince me to send him Nuggets tickets?
Not just yesterday, Okay, thank you, It goes back last
week and I will send him some tickets simply because
I said I would, But I would you know, pro tip,
maybe not insult somebody who you're asking to give you tickets.
(14:14):
I mean, it's just a thought. Uh damn. Part of
me wants Mom Donnie to win in New York City,
to be destroyed, to show the results of socialism communism.
But since these people haven't understood all previous examples, they
won't connect the dots. Alexa, I would respectfully disagree with
our friend Alexa. Think about it. It was so beneficial
for America to see the reality of Barack Obama and
(14:38):
the reality of his rule and his policies. It's what's
led to the election of Donald Trump and so very painful.
You know the harm Obama caused, But did it led
to an understanding, to an awakening in America about lefty
policies and lefty weakness and leading from behind quote unquote,
(14:58):
America decided, yeah, we don't want any of that, and
then we the Biden aberration in the middle of all
of that kind of reinforced the lesson. Not just a reminder,
but we all know that if it had not been
for COVID, Trump would have won overwhelmingly that second term. Dan,
you talk about the hypocrisy of the left with weed
and flavored tobacco, but I've seen the same hypocrisy in
(15:19):
you with alcohol. Dan. It's in every grocery store, every
street corner. They sponsored the Super Bowl. How about turning
some of your anger in that direction because alcohol is
more harmful than both of the other. A. That isn't
true regarding alcohol, but even if it was, here's the point, Texter,
call the show. Let's have the conversation. So what you're
saying is okay because alcohol has destroyed so many children,
(15:45):
killed so many children, ruined so many children, and we've
got to ruin even more with dope, and we've got
to ruin even more with flavored tobacco. How does that
make any sense? Text or please call this show. Dan.
Coming across was angry this afternoon. I enjoy it, but
for the general public, maybe chill. Thank you, Texter, I'm
(16:07):
telling you, did day any of us lose our righteous anger?
Just put us in the ground. What's the point. Why
have us breathing oxygen, eating food, taking up space? If
you don't feel righteous anger and you're not willing to
speak it against things, you should feel righteous anger toward
(16:28):
something wrong there. Maybe you're too chill, Dan, don't forget
forty one counties out of sixty four in Colorado voted
for Trump. Yeah, and remember the first time around in
sixteen that Trump there was a real thought Trump might
win here, and he was campaigning here till the very end. So, Dan,
fruit flavored alcohol discuss I think it's disgusting. How about you, Ryan,
(16:53):
Do you like any fruit?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
It can't be too sweet. I don't like stuff that's
super duper sweet.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And a lot of those are, so stay away from them. No,
and a fair question about okay, is the fruit flavored
alcohol aimed at hooking kids? Maybe it is. You don't
hear me sitting here saying that alcohol hasn't caused a
lot of harmed kids. Of course it has. All I'm
saying is let's not repeat and multiply the mistake. But
(17:18):
I think the fruit flavored alcohol has been more aimed
at young women than it has been at kids. You know,
the alcohol pushed to kids was done in different ways.
You know, it was done with a certain so called
cool factor, all that other stuff. Man, we have these
texts exploding when we come back and we're getting some
(17:39):
election results, but they're really not meaningfull. I'll pass them
along just because they're there, but they're not meaningful. They're
too early and in races, we all know what's going
to happen on anyway. But when we come back, there
is an interesting local story in the post about the
Bachelorette show. They're filming something here now in Colorado. Would
you ever do that? Would you ever be the Bachelorette
(18:01):
or the Bachelor?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
You're on the Dan Caplish you're listening to the Dan
Kapliss Show podcast Action.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Packed Afternoon, as we talk about the Commies they are
coming and I'm Donnie's going to win in New York
tonight and then we're going to see these commedy cicadas
in Colorado. Many holding office right now on the Democrat side,
just kind of percolate up above the surface. They won't
be able to help themselves. And that's good. That's good.
We already know they act like it. We need them
(18:30):
to just out themselves here politically. And then we're talking
about the flavored vape band that's on the ballot in Denver,
and then talking about wait a second, you got all
these lefties wanting to protect kids from the flavored tobacco,
but they don't want to protect kids from the marijuana
that's doing a thousand times more harm. Why that disconnect.
Let's start with Brian in beautiful Arvada, Colorado. You're on
(18:54):
the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
Welcome Brian, Hey, Dan, A couple things with tobacco, you know,
flavor band, I'm about protecting kids. And you're so right
with the hypocriticalness of the Democrats. They don't care about
legalize marijuana. But you know you can't. You can't smoke
a watermelon vape. But you know who's celebrating tonight is
(19:15):
wheat Ridge Lakewood, Aurora. Because people are just going to
drive a mile, a mile and a half two miles
down the street and they're gonna buy that flavor of aape
somewhere else. So that's the real winners. And all this
is the surrounding cities in Denver, which is kind of sad.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
You know.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
All you can do is teach your kids to stay
away from that crap. Unfortunately, I got some really cool
teenagers and we've talked about it. It's all over the
place in their school and you just have to tell them, Hey,
you want to play sports, you want to, you want
to you know, have some sort of life. This these
chemicals are just damaging every part of your body.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
So and I'm sure you can do with a parent.
I'm sure you are an awesome parent. And and so
that gives your kid, you know, this phenomenal advantage. He
or she is a lottery winner. But lead us not
into temptation, right, And so the more of these dope
stores you have out there, the more stores that a
kid walks into where there's flavored vape products on the shelves,
(20:16):
you know, the greater the temptation, the greater the chance,
the greater the access. And so I think that every
way that we can help protect these children during their childhood,
that is worth it. Now your point about, Okay, you
can still go out to our batter here or there. Yeah,
but it's it's gonna be tougher now. The way I'd
(20:36):
like to see it done is like they do in
many places with strip clubs. Okay, somebody just has a
hand gering for watermelon flavored tobacco, somebody other than a kid, okay,
can be sold out of, you know, an industrial park area,
just like strip clubs in many places are zoned out
into industrial areas so kids aren't walking past them on
their way to school. So that that I think there's
(20:59):
still some real benefit there, Brian. Same thing with dope stores,
right is you have so many of these dope stores
out there on street corners, et cetera. I think there's
this green light effect to kids, and the more there are,
the more access there is.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
No You're right, Dan, absolutely, so I'm not for or
against any of it. I just I don't know what
but really, oh and I.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Think I lost you there, Brian. I do hope you
call off. And I fully appreciate the freedom point when
it comes to flavored tobacco. If there really are adults
who want that, you can you can set up you
can set up a distribution network through the law that
accomplishes the purpose I just laid out where it's just
(21:44):
not put right there in the face of kids with
that easy access. Russ in Littleton. You're on the dan
Kapla show.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
How you doing, Russ, Oh, Russkay.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I just want to make a point about that cigarettes.
I mean the cigarettes. You know. I don't want to
say marijuana is better, but their filter lists to the
marijuana and the filters and those cigarettes, whether it's a
camel cigarette or a kid cigarette, one of those around
the corner stores, they all got fiberglass filters in them,
and I just want to make a point of fiberglasses,
(22:18):
which kills you. Belongs that I mean, it's supposed to
help with the nicotine or whatever it might. But it
also they never mentioned that the fiberglass the file mess
is fine. You touch that stuff, your it's it all day.
That's the only point I want to make that they
missed on that one too.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
So yeah, thank you, Russ, Thank you. No, I appreciate
that call very much. I would hope we could all
agree that in any kind of say in America, we
should all be united and making sure that not one
more kid ever smokes, not one more kid ever smokes,
Whether it's cigarettes, watermelon flavored tobacco or marijuana. Obviously that
(23:00):
not one more kid ever smokes or eats that stuff.
But we know that the drug dealers have the opposite motive,
and the drug dealers buy the politicians, and the idea
is hook them young, hook them forever. And you can
see how they do that with the flavored tobacco and all.
We've got to put all of this THHC into little
gummy bears and cookies. Why obviously trying to hook the kids.
(23:22):
Let's go to Eric and None. You're on the Dan
Kaplis Show. Welcome Eric, what's up?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Dan?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
I sent you a text and you have you said
to go ahead and call in. So here I am.
Let me start by saying, I agree with you. That
bad for you smoking the figurette smoking the weed. But again,
my my ire is I come from a family of
I've watched many of my family members die from alcohol,
(23:50):
and I don't understand the the duality of I can
go buy a green apple flavored Crown Royal, is that
being marketed to kids?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
I do think there's a hypocrisy. I think you have
your freedom that you like that is bad for you,
but you like it, so you stick.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Up for it.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
And then other freedoms that you.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Don't like you you don't stick up for.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
So well, I thank you for dality.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Thank you for Collin Eric important conversation to have. First
of all, it's not about me. I've had two beers
all year, so it's not like my life is centered
around alcohol. But but second, more importantly, a point is is, yes,
there is a duality, but it's for understandable reasons. Alcohol
(24:45):
is here to stay. It's not going away ever. You
would acknowledge that marijuana and flavored vape are new. America's
not stuck with them forever yet, and so why was marijuana.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Is not new?
Speaker 7 (24:59):
Mariju? Lot of plants have been around for longer than alcohol.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
But that's an interesting point and we're seizing on because
why do you think it is? Then, my friend, that
before Colorado made the mistake in the twenty twelve election,
in all of the years, in all of the places
all over the world, as long as marijuana has been around,
no other city had ever decided to legalize it the
(25:23):
way that the state of Colorado had. Why do you
think that is? Because it's so obvious that that would
be destructive.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Well, I think you're going to agree with me on
if you make society dependent on dope and they're going
to be dependent on the government, and now you have
a passive voters for the rest of your life. I
don't disagree with you on that.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Just I struggle with I do.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
I struggle with the alcohol thing because I've just watched
so many of my family members drinkful yes to death
and yet and yet I have to see it in
the convenience store, I have to see it in the
grocery store, I have to see it on the Super Bowl, and.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's yeah, and I'm so sorry about what happened to
your family. The question, though, would be, with all of
the horror it's caused in your family, why would you
then want to support doubling down on that and creating
these new categories of mass horror for kids through legalized
marijuana and of large scale harm to kids through flavored tobacco.
(26:27):
What's the rationale behind Well, we killed a lot of
them through alcohol, so we got to kill a lot
of them through dope and flavored tobacco. I don't understand that.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Well, I'll throw out the freedom argument.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
But I'll also say that, you.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Know, if if we can't id somebody and we can't
trust that, I mean, you throw that out as not
a solution. But we I D people to vote, well,
we should, we.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I D people to drive, we I D people.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Yeah, if we can't verify someone's ages, that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Right, And we know that doesn't work. But the other
thing we know from experience, from the alcohol experience that
caused so much harm to your family, is that we
know that the easier it is to get, the more
kids are going to get it. Right, And so if
we have to have legal marijuana, why can't it be
out of an industrial park the same way most strip
(27:23):
clubs are z owned. Why does it have to be
stuck right in the faces of kids on every street corner?
And you and I both know the answer, because the
drug dealers want it legitimated, that they want it normalized,
They want it right in the face of kids. They
want kids to have easy access to it, you know,
So the freedom right and it worked right because what
(27:46):
happened with the alcohol industry is they were able to
hook the kids young enough of them, and then they
had the lifetime customers.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
And here's the last thing I would say is just
I mean, I'm an adult. I don't smoke, but watermelon
sounds a lot better to me than than tobacco.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
So I don't know.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
I just think that an adult should have the crisis.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh and I don't want to rush you, my friend.
I have a heartbreak. I have to hit in the
next thirty seconds. Thank you for the car I could
call off, and it was a great conversation. And but
but again, here's how we can have both. If they
are adults who are just craving watermelon flavored tobacco, zone
(28:33):
it out into industrial parks like we do with strip
clubs most of them anyway, in most places, and then
protect the kids by not having them on every street corner.
You're on the Dankaplas Show.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
And now back to the dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
What is the difference between it a democrat, a democratic
socialist and a communist?
Speaker 8 (28:54):
Well, I'm a democratic socialist. There is also a democrat, right,
And when I say I'm a democratic socialist, I explain
it in the words of doctor King from decades ago,
who said the call it democracy or call it democratic socialism.
There must be a better distribution of wealth for.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
All of God's children in this country.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Right.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
And what I actually find is that when you're speaking
to New Yorkers, they ask you less how you describe
your politics, and more whether there's room for them in
that politics.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You know, you really wonder, you really wonder about the
wisdom of misrepresenting doctor King, right, You really wonder about
whether in the end that's going to come back to
haunt Mom Donnie in some way. Remember Babe Ruth with
(29:40):
the curse right when he got traded. Yeah, but my goodness. Yeah,
So let me ask you, Mom Donnie, you think you
can get him on Ryan. I'd like to ask him
a few questions. Yeah, doctor King was opposed to abortion?
Are you opposed to abortion? Mister mom Donnie? And mister
mom Donnie, you say you're for all of this economical quality, right, Well,
(30:04):
how about vouchers? How about true school choice? How about
all these middle income and lower income and poor kids
from all walks of life, how about giving them true
educational equality with school vouchers. Mamdani at that point he'd
probably throw up, he'd fake a stroke to get out
of that interview, because he's a crony comedy he's a
(30:26):
crony comedy. He doesn't really care about these kids. He
doesn't really care about poor people. This is his ticket
to power. Is this communism. It'st this wealthy distribution scheme.
But oh no, not for the benefit of these little
kids when it comes to something that might actually liberate
and free them so they can go out and prosper
on their own and not have to have government handouts,
(30:47):
which is the nightmare of the entire left. Whether you're
talking about a comedy like Mandani or Ryan, there's the
start of a song there can we work on it,
or you're talking about you know, Michael Bennett or John
Hickenloop or Mike Johnston, it's the same thing that the
last thing in the world they want is these kids,
you know, to be liberated and be able to reach
(31:09):
their full economic potential, these currently economically poor kids. Because
at that point, the Democratic Party goes out of business
because once people start making a certain amount of money.
I think the latest number is about sixty three thousand
a majority vote Republican. So they are dependent on suppressing
people economically. They are the fighting for Scrap's party. So
(31:31):
this phony Mandani, Yeah, yeah, school vouchers it exposes him completely.
But even if he had that issue right, which he wouldn't,
it comes back to income redistribution, the redistribution of wealth.
That is what the modern Democratic Party is about, no
matter how they perfume the pig, and Mondani is just
much more open because that works where he's running short term. Yeah,
(31:55):
it's like jumping out of an airplane ride right right.
You don't have to have a parachute to hear it once.
You do have to have a parachute to do it twice.
So it's worked for Mondanni. Now it's not going to
work in a reelection because of all the devastation that
will occur because of this. But yeah, so if you're
going to quote doctor King, you tell us if you're
(32:16):
with doctor King on opposing abortion. Mom Donnie, by the way,
he is taking doctor King way out of context on that,
and he knows it. But hey, it's going to be
good for Republicans and by extension, good for America because
socialism has never worked anywhere. Communism has never worked anywhere.
New York City isn't going to be the first look
(32:36):
at what these socialist kind of approaches are doing in
Colorado right now? Yeah, it has never worked anywhere, But
we'll get to enjoy watching together tomorrow as these lefty
politicians in Colorado race to kiss the posterior of Mom
Donnie really quick, Dan, We're is going to be the
most blatant.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yes, we have a call. In the Virginia governor's race,
Abigail stan has been elected as the first woman governor
in that commonwealth, defeating Winston Earl's.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Seezers and is too bad, my friend. But you knew
it was a bad sign for series this morning when
the Republican AG candidate came out and said he was
splitting his ticket, so the polling must he said, voters
can split their date. There's no way, Burger. I thought
(33:28):
he said he split his ticket. But same difference right
when your Republican AG candidate comes out and says, hey,
you know, split your ticket. The polls are not looking
very good at that point, but I think we're on agreement.
Wiser will be the first and the most sloppy kisser
tomorrow of Mom Donnie and gross because he's got out
(33:51):
flank Bennett on the left, and all the energy in
the Democrat Party right now is with the socialist and
the commies. I'm just telling you right now, they're going
to be the eyes open tomorrow because there are so
many regular Democrats, just normal people who vote for Democrats,
have no idea this socialist commy thing is going on
in the Democratic Party. And when they wake up tomorrow
(34:12):
and see mom Donnie wins a lot of chance to
open eyes. Brian, thank you, my friend, great work. Please
do join us tomorrow. We'll go through all the election
results and more and Congressman Jeff Herd tomorrow on The
Dan Kaplo Show.
This is Dan Kaplis, and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,

single day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's going to get a whole lot more interesting starting tonight,
right because the commedis are coming. Yeah, it's just the
one Mom Donnie who's going to win in New York.
But then you got all these commy cicadas in Colorado
just right under the surface. You can hear them rattling
around down there, and you know they're elected Democrats, they
hold power in the party, but so far they've been
(00:35):
doing the perfumeount of pig thing and pretending to be
moderate in this and that. But hey, Mam Donnie wins.
Some won't be able to help themselves. Some will still
try to pull the con. But who do you think
will run fastest to kiss the posterior of Mom Donnie
three h three someone three eight two five five takes
(00:56):
d A N five seven seven three nine. We know
some others like Bennett and Hick and Looper will will
have to say and do something worshipful of Momdani because
they're very afraid the energy now is on the socialist
side of the Democrat Party. So there should be a
lot of fun to watch in Colorado and maybe help
(01:16):
GOP chances, right, because one thing we know for sure,
and if you disagree, we will send the limo three
oh three seven one three eight two five five. You'll
be the very first caller. Text d an five seven
seven three nine. But we all know this is true.
Colorado is not there. Colorado is not COMMI. Colorado is
not socialist now, Colorado doesn't like Republicans very much right now,
(01:40):
and Colorado doesn't understand just how far crazy secular left
most of these Dems in power are. But Colorado is
not socialist. Just look at the ballot issue votes. So
as soon as as some of these powerful Colorado Dems,
you know, just just expose their true selves, won't people
(02:01):
to help themselves with them? On Donni Kraze, Yeah, you know,
maybe voters think twice about those people will find out
together three or three seven one three eight two five
five As I said, Text d A n five seven
seven through nine. Lots more on the show. We've touched
on the passing of Dick Cheney got rest his soul,
but we talked about how unfortunately he abandoned some causes
(02:23):
he'd served so well, just in order to you know,
battle President Trump, that personal battle, and how sad that was.
But we all want more mercy than justice when our
judgment day comes, and so I hope that Dick Cheney
rests in peace as well, and I wish his family
piece three or three seven to one, three eight, two,
five five, the number a lot. I talked today about
(02:45):
Referendum three ten in Denver, which is the flavored Tobacco band,
and the importance of that in broader ways, because let's
face it, what the drug dealers are doing by trying
to make tobacco now tastes like watermelon and orange, is
trying to attract the kids, hook them young, hook them forever,
and that is despicable. And we need to protect kids
(03:06):
every way we can while still honoring our freedoms. And
that's pretty easy to do, and it's not by selling
it on every street corner. So I respect to Michael
Bloomberg for wanting to come in and protect the kids.
Bloomberg's given five million, but I hope Mayor Bloomberg then
joins me and hopefully you in trying to protect the
kids from legal dope in Colorado repeal Amendments sixty four.
(03:30):
So how do you ever get to the point where
you have this lefty city council of votes eleven to
one to ban flavored tobacco products so the kids aren't
preyed on? But then you know, trips all over themselves
and each other trying to praise and glorify and advanced
legalized dope when legalized dope is doing a thousand times
(03:52):
more harm to the kids than flavored tobacco, and flavored
tobacco is doing a lot of harm to the kids.
Three at three seven one, three two five five. Okay,
let's get to it, texters, Dan, I don't know why
you're going on and on about the flavored tobacco band.
Already have to be twenty one to buy it, and
then they give me a sight So what those bands
(04:15):
don't work? Everybody? Okay, you gotta be twenty one to
buy this stuff, right? Truly, there are so many fake
ideas out there. But again, the green light effect is
the key. When a kid can walk into a store
or walk down a street in the case of dope
and can see these dope stores everywhere, more dope stores
than McDonald's and Starbucks combined. And the kid can see
(04:37):
these flavored tobacco products all over the shelves. There's a
green light effect. It's telling the kid, hey, that stuff
is okay. And with marijuana, it's doing more than that.
It's glorifying it, you know. And so that's the problem
is kids from the beginning of time have found ways
to get this illegal stuff if there's any way they
(05:00):
can do it conveniently. But when you decide, with legalized marijuana,
for example, to just put it there on every street
corner and have all these outlets and it's now, you know,
just just right there and it's legitimized the way Starbucks
coffee is, yeah, you're gonna have a lot more kids
doing it and they're going to have much much easier
access to it. So, Texter Dan, what happened all the
(05:24):
tax money from marijuana sales that was supposed to go
to marijuana education ads. I haven't seen any ads for years. Yeah,
you haven't seen any ads for years because these lefty
politicians are owned by the drug dealers. I'll give you
exhibit A. John Higginlooper, his own health director, we had
him on the show, came up with this great campaign
after the mistake of legalizing marijuana. And the campaign was
(05:47):
don't be a labrat. And I think don't quote me
on this, I think they actually sent around little cages
to different high schools to make the point to kids,
don't be a labrat in this big test that's been
dawn on you about the effects of marijuana. Don't be
a labrat. The industry came in because that campaign was
(06:07):
apparently successful, came in, complained to Hickenlooper, and you know
what new campaign they came up with that hicken Looper approved.
They went from don't be a labrat to marijuana It's
good to Know. So that was John Hickenlooper's idea of
a prevention campaign for kids, encouraging them to use it,
(06:27):
encouraging them to get to know marijuana. Who other than
a drug dealer and the politician living in his pocket
could ever come up with marijuana It's good to know
as the state taxpayer funded campaign headline for kids. Ryan,
you still can't believe that even happened, but it did.
(06:48):
Go look it up. I mean that is how yeah, yeah,
how deeply. I was going to make a non family
friend reference there, But that's how deeply in the pocket
of drug dealers, hicking Looper got not in any illegal way,
but in a profoundly irresponsible and a moral way. Profoundly
(07:13):
And we have liquor stores on every corner. Does that
mean we're saying it's okay to children that they should
drink alcohol. Wait a second, what effect is having liquor
stores on every corner had on kids? It's meant a
lot more kids have become alcoholics. It means a lot
more kids drank alcohol as kids. It means a lot
(07:36):
more kids died in drunk driving crashes and killed their
friends at the same time. How is that any good
for society? How is that anything other than destructive to children?
So what people are saying now is, oh, because we
destroyed all these children by having liquor stores on every
(07:56):
street corner, we gotta do the same thing with marijuana.
Who could be so stupid, Who could be so uncaring
about children? But that is the argument you get from
the dope dealers. Oh no, we killed a bunch of
them with alcohol. We got to be able to kill
a bunch of them with dope, and the same argument
you get from the watermelon flavored tobacco people. Oh no,
(08:18):
we're killing a bunch of them with alcohol and a
bunch of them with dope, so we got to be
able to kill them with tobacco. Think about that argument. No,
the point is learn from, learn from the devastation done
to kids by liquor stores on every corner. Now that
doesn't mean that alcohol has to be legal, of course not,
(08:41):
of course not, just like it doesn't mean that you
can't have strip clubs. There's a first and listen, I'm
not here saying, oh, we got to have strip clubs,
but the Supreme Court is held there's a first amendment, right,
but time, place, and manner. So a lot of jurisdictions
they zone those strip clubs off in industrial parks. So
you want to go see that stuff, Okay, you can
(09:03):
go still see it somewhere, but you've got to be
an industrial park where you don't have kids walking by
it every day. You could do the absolute same thing
with flavored marijuana. But no, the drug dealers, in this case,
tobacco nicotine, they want it on every street corner because
they want the kids seeing it and wanting it. Right,
they want it, and then they're going to find a
way to get it. Same with the dope dealers. They
(09:25):
want the kids seeing it. They want the green light effect.
Oh this can't be too bad. Look at all these
stores that just popped up. It's about time that people
of the state protect the children of the state. So
Mayor Bloomberg, thank you for bringing in the five million
to try to educate people on the harm being done
to kids by flavored tobacco. But how about five hundred
(09:45):
million to overturn Amend sixty four in Colorado because it
is literally doing one thousand times more damage. Legal dope
does one thousand times more damage to kids than flavored tobacco,
and flavored tobacco does a lot of damag You're on
the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
To be honest with you, the country is moving towards Trump.
I mean these polls that come out and show him
not doing well, I don't buy that. I think strength,
his strength is still greater than the Democratic strength. He
is a stronger public figure than the Democratic people. I mean,
Obama still has tremendous charisma, but Trump has strength, and
(10:30):
I think that's what all the voters look for. But
they wanted a president who is a strong figure and
he's got it.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
And he can.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, it's just there and half the country buys it.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
That's what I think.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, Chris Matthews, very honest. That's what we were saying yesterday.
Don't buy these polls at this point. You know they
talk about Trump favorability thirty seven percent. Whatever. I mean,
remember where the pulse were your ago tonight? Oh man,
I wish we could go back in time two year
ago to night. That was such a fun night, especially
since it never really was in doubt. But you can't
(11:06):
be one hundred percent certain until it's done. But wow,
what a fun night. Three or three seven one three
eight two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Not much going on tonight, right. We
know Mamdani's going to win in New York, which is
going to be great for Republicans nationwide because it's going
to expose it's going to expose socialism, communism once again.
(11:27):
It's never worked anywhere and it won't work in New York.
But it's going to help draw to the light right
that the different little Kammi cicadas and socialist cicadas who
are operating just underground now in Colorado, et cetera. Now
they're elected officials, they're party leaders, but they try to
wrap themselves in some kind of moderate cloth when in
(11:50):
fact they support this hardcore socialist and in some case
communists stuff. But they're going to get caught up some
not all in the euphoria of Mandani. Now they're great
new leftist deity as they see it, and they'll just
be drawn to that. So it will help expose them,
which is always a good thing. Not pretty to look at,
(12:11):
but better to know. Three oh three seven one three
eight two five five text d an five seven seven
three nine text in fuego u pun intended is we
talk about the flavored vape band that's on the ballot
in Denver, leftiest cities around Colorado with banded flavored vape
in an effort to protect kids. And I admire the
(12:31):
effort to protect kids. I wish they'd show that when
it comes to legal marijuana too, But why do you
think the difference? Why do you think the difference? I
want to get to some of our Texters on that,
because you have Michael Bloomberg putting in five million. You
have Bolder, for example, along with Denver banning flavored vape
because clearly it's aimed at kids. Why would you want
(12:51):
to change the flavor of tobacco to watermelon other than
try to attract and hook the kids. And so they
want to protect the kids. So why do you think
they want to protect the kids against flavored tobacco, But
they'll allow marijuana to devastate children across this state A
thousand times more damage done by marijuana than flavored tobacco,
(13:15):
and flavor tobacco does a lot. Why do you think
that difference from the left. Let's get to some text, Dan.
When I was fourteen years old, my friends and I
would go tapping stand outside a convenience store and give
money to adults to buy beer for us. Of course
you did, who didn't. I mean that's the point that,
oh there's a flavored vape band, you can't buy it
unless you're twenty one. No, people are going to be
(13:36):
able to get it. Same thing with these dope stores
on every corner. It just means it's going to be
greenlit for kids, and kids are going to be able
to get it a lot easier than the Left knows
that Dan's still waiting here about the Nuggets tickets? What
about the evs instead?
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Ryan.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Isn't this the texter who was insulting me yesterday in
an effort to convince me to send him Nuggets tickets?
Not just yesterday, Okay, thank you, It goes back last
week and I will send him some tickets simply because
I said I would, But I would you know, pro tip,
maybe not insult somebody who you're asking to give you tickets.
(14:14):
I mean, it's just a thought. Uh damn. Part of
me wants Mom Donnie to win in New York City,
to be destroyed, to show the results of socialism communism.
But since these people haven't understood all previous examples, they
won't connect the dots. Alexa, I would respectfully disagree with
our friend Alexa. Think about it. It was so beneficial
for America to see the reality of Barack Obama and
(14:38):
the reality of his rule and his policies. It's what's
led to the election of Donald Trump and so very painful.
You know the harm Obama caused, But did it led
to an understanding, to an awakening in America about lefty
policies and lefty weakness and leading from behind quote unquote,
(14:58):
America decided, yeah, we don't want any of that, and
then we the Biden aberration in the middle of all
of that kind of reinforced the lesson. Not just a reminder,
but we all know that if it had not been
for COVID, Trump would have won overwhelmingly that second term. Dan,
you talk about the hypocrisy of the left with weed
and flavored tobacco, but I've seen the same hypocrisy in
(15:19):
you with alcohol. Dan. It's in every grocery store, every
street corner. They sponsored the Super Bowl. How about turning
some of your anger in that direction because alcohol is
more harmful than both of the other. A. That isn't
true regarding alcohol, but even if it was, here's the point, Texter,
call the show. Let's have the conversation. So what you're
saying is okay because alcohol has destroyed so many children,
(15:45):
killed so many children, ruined so many children, and we've
got to ruin even more with dope, and we've got
to ruin even more with flavored tobacco. How does that
make any sense? Text or please call this show. Dan.
Coming across was angry this afternoon. I enjoy it, but
for the general public, maybe chill. Thank you, Texter, I'm
(16:07):
telling you, did day any of us lose our righteous anger?
Just put us in the ground. What's the point. Why
have us breathing oxygen, eating food, taking up space? If
you don't feel righteous anger and you're not willing to
speak it against things, you should feel righteous anger toward
(16:28):
something wrong there. Maybe you're too chill, Dan, don't forget
forty one counties out of sixty four in Colorado voted
for Trump. Yeah, and remember the first time around in
sixteen that Trump there was a real thought Trump might
win here, and he was campaigning here till the very end. So, Dan,
fruit flavored alcohol discuss I think it's disgusting. How about you, Ryan,
(16:53):
Do you like any fruit?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
It can't be too sweet. I don't like stuff that's
super duper sweet.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And a lot of those are, so stay away from them. No,
and a fair question about okay, is the fruit flavored
alcohol aimed at hooking kids? Maybe it is. You don't
hear me sitting here saying that alcohol hasn't caused a
lot of harmed kids. Of course it has. All I'm
saying is let's not repeat and multiply the mistake. But
(17:18):
I think the fruit flavored alcohol has been more aimed
at young women than it has been at kids. You know,
the alcohol pushed to kids was done in different ways.
You know, it was done with a certain so called
cool factor, all that other stuff. Man, we have these
texts exploding when we come back and we're getting some
(17:39):
election results, but they're really not meaningfull. I'll pass them
along just because they're there, but they're not meaningful. They're
too early and in races, we all know what's going
to happen on anyway. But when we come back, there
is an interesting local story in the post about the
Bachelorette show. They're filming something here now in Colorado. Would
you ever do that? Would you ever be the Bachelorette
(18:01):
or the Bachelor?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
You're on the Dan Caplish you're listening to the Dan
Kapliss Show podcast Action.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Packed Afternoon, as we talk about the Commies they are
coming and I'm Donnie's going to win in New York
tonight and then we're going to see these commedy cicadas
in Colorado. Many holding office right now on the Democrat side,
just kind of percolate up above the surface. They won't
be able to help themselves. And that's good. That's good.
We already know they act like it. We need them
(18:30):
to just out themselves here politically. And then we're talking
about the flavored vape band that's on the ballot in Denver,
and then talking about wait a second, you got all
these lefties wanting to protect kids from the flavored tobacco,
but they don't want to protect kids from the marijuana
that's doing a thousand times more harm. Why that disconnect.
Let's start with Brian in beautiful Arvada, Colorado. You're on
(18:54):
the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
Welcome Brian, Hey, Dan, A couple things with tobacco, you know,
flavor band, I'm about protecting kids. And you're so right
with the hypocriticalness of the Democrats. They don't care about
legalize marijuana. But you know you can't. You can't smoke
a watermelon vape. But you know who's celebrating tonight is
(19:15):
wheat Ridge Lakewood, Aurora. Because people are just going to
drive a mile, a mile and a half two miles
down the street and they're gonna buy that flavor of aape
somewhere else. So that's the real winners. And all this
is the surrounding cities in Denver, which is kind of sad.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
You know.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
All you can do is teach your kids to stay
away from that crap. Unfortunately, I got some really cool
teenagers and we've talked about it. It's all over the
place in their school and you just have to tell them, Hey,
you want to play sports, you want to, you want
to you know, have some sort of life. This these
chemicals are just damaging every part of your body.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
So and I'm sure you can do with a parent.
I'm sure you are an awesome parent. And and so
that gives your kid, you know, this phenomenal advantage. He
or she is a lottery winner. But lead us not
into temptation, right, And so the more of these dope
stores you have out there, the more stores that a
kid walks into where there's flavored vape products on the shelves,
(20:16):
you know, the greater the temptation, the greater the chance,
the greater the access. And so I think that every
way that we can help protect these children during their childhood,
that is worth it. Now your point about, Okay, you
can still go out to our batter here or there. Yeah,
but it's it's gonna be tougher now. The way I'd
(20:36):
like to see it done is like they do in
many places with strip clubs. Okay, somebody just has a
hand gering for watermelon flavored tobacco, somebody other than a kid, okay,
can be sold out of, you know, an industrial park area,
just like strip clubs in many places are zoned out
into industrial areas so kids aren't walking past them on
their way to school. So that that I think there's
(20:59):
still some real benefit there, Brian. Same thing with dope stores,
right is you have so many of these dope stores
out there on street corners, et cetera. I think there's
this green light effect to kids, and the more there are,
the more access there is.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
No You're right, Dan, absolutely, so I'm not for or
against any of it. I just I don't know what
but really, oh and I.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Think I lost you there, Brian. I do hope you
call off. And I fully appreciate the freedom point when
it comes to flavored tobacco. If there really are adults
who want that, you can you can set up you
can set up a distribution network through the law that
accomplishes the purpose I just laid out where it's just
(21:44):
not put right there in the face of kids with
that easy access. Russ in Littleton. You're on the dan
Kapla show.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
How you doing, Russ, Oh, Russkay.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I just want to make a point about that cigarettes.
I mean the cigarettes. You know. I don't want to
say marijuana is better, but their filter lists to the
marijuana and the filters and those cigarettes, whether it's a
camel cigarette or a kid cigarette, one of those around
the corner stores, they all got fiberglass filters in them,
and I just want to make a point of fiberglasses,
(22:18):
which kills you. Belongs that I mean, it's supposed to
help with the nicotine or whatever it might. But it
also they never mentioned that the fiberglass the file mess
is fine. You touch that stuff, your it's it all day.
That's the only point I want to make that they
missed on that one too.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
So yeah, thank you, Russ, Thank you. No, I appreciate
that call very much. I would hope we could all
agree that in any kind of say in America, we
should all be united and making sure that not one
more kid ever smokes, not one more kid ever smokes,
Whether it's cigarettes, watermelon flavored tobacco or marijuana. Obviously that
(23:00):
not one more kid ever smokes or eats that stuff.
But we know that the drug dealers have the opposite motive,
and the drug dealers buy the politicians, and the idea
is hook them young, hook them forever. And you can
see how they do that with the flavored tobacco and all.
We've got to put all of this THHC into little
gummy bears and cookies. Why obviously trying to hook the kids.
(23:22):
Let's go to Eric and None. You're on the Dan
Kaplis Show. Welcome Eric, what's up?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Dan?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
I sent you a text and you have you said
to go ahead and call in. So here I am.
Let me start by saying, I agree with you. That
bad for you smoking the figurette smoking the weed. But again,
my my ire is I come from a family of
I've watched many of my family members die from alcohol,
(23:50):
and I don't understand the the duality of I can
go buy a green apple flavored Crown Royal, is that
being marketed to kids?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
I do think there's a hypocrisy. I think you have
your freedom that you like that is bad for you,
but you like it, so you stick.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Up for it.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
And then other freedoms that you.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Don't like you you don't stick up for.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
So well, I thank you for dality.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Thank you for Collin Eric important conversation to have. First
of all, it's not about me. I've had two beers
all year, so it's not like my life is centered
around alcohol. But but second, more importantly, a point is is, yes,
there is a duality, but it's for understandable reasons. Alcohol
(24:45):
is here to stay. It's not going away ever. You
would acknowledge that marijuana and flavored vape are new. America's
not stuck with them forever yet, and so why was marijuana.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Is not new?
Speaker 7 (24:59):
Mariju? Lot of plants have been around for longer than alcohol.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
But that's an interesting point and we're seizing on because
why do you think it is? Then, my friend, that
before Colorado made the mistake in the twenty twelve election,
in all of the years, in all of the places
all over the world, as long as marijuana has been around,
no other city had ever decided to legalize it the
(25:23):
way that the state of Colorado had. Why do you
think that is? Because it's so obvious that that would
be destructive.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Well, I think you're going to agree with me on
if you make society dependent on dope and they're going
to be dependent on the government, and now you have
a passive voters for the rest of your life. I
don't disagree with you on that.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Just I struggle with I do.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
I struggle with the alcohol thing because I've just watched
so many of my family members drinkful yes to death
and yet and yet I have to see it in
the convenience store, I have to see it in the
grocery store, I have to see it on the Super Bowl, and.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's yeah, and I'm so sorry about what happened to
your family. The question, though, would be, with all of
the horror it's caused in your family, why would you
then want to support doubling down on that and creating
these new categories of mass horror for kids through legalized
marijuana and of large scale harm to kids through flavored tobacco.
(26:27):
What's the rationale behind Well, we killed a lot of
them through alcohol, so we got to kill a lot
of them through dope and flavored tobacco. I don't understand that.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Well, I'll throw out the freedom argument.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
But I'll also say that, you.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Know, if if we can't id somebody and we can't
trust that, I mean, you throw that out as not
a solution. But we I D people to vote, well,
we should, we.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I D people to drive, we I D people.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Yeah, if we can't verify someone's ages, that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Right, And we know that doesn't work. But the other
thing we know from experience, from the alcohol experience that
caused so much harm to your family, is that we
know that the easier it is to get, the more
kids are going to get it. Right, And so if
we have to have legal marijuana, why can't it be
out of an industrial park the same way most strip
(27:23):
clubs are z owned. Why does it have to be
stuck right in the faces of kids on every street corner?
And you and I both know the answer, because the
drug dealers want it legitimated, that they want it normalized,
They want it right in the face of kids. They
want kids to have easy access to it, you know,
So the freedom right and it worked right because what
(27:46):
happened with the alcohol industry is they were able to
hook the kids young enough of them, and then they
had the lifetime customers.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
And here's the last thing I would say is just
I mean, I'm an adult. I don't smoke, but watermelon
sounds a lot better to me than than tobacco.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
So I don't know.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
I just think that an adult should have the crisis.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh and I don't want to rush you, my friend.
I have a heartbreak. I have to hit in the
next thirty seconds. Thank you for the car I could
call off, and it was a great conversation. And but
but again, here's how we can have both. If they
are adults who are just craving watermelon flavored tobacco, zone
(28:33):
it out into industrial parks like we do with strip
clubs most of them anyway, in most places, and then
protect the kids by not having them on every street corner.
You're on the Dankaplas Show.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
And now back to the dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
What is the difference between it a democrat, a democratic
socialist and a communist?
Speaker 8 (28:54):
Well, I'm a democratic socialist. There is also a democrat, right,
And when I say I'm a democratic socialist, I explain
it in the words of doctor King from decades ago,
who said the call it democracy or call it democratic socialism.
There must be a better distribution of wealth for.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
All of God's children in this country.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Right.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
And what I actually find is that when you're speaking
to New Yorkers, they ask you less how you describe
your politics, and more whether there's room for them in
that politics.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You know, you really wonder, you really wonder about the
wisdom of misrepresenting doctor King, right, You really wonder about
whether in the end that's going to come back to
haunt Mom Donnie in some way. Remember Babe Ruth with
(29:40):
the curse right when he got traded. Yeah, but my goodness. Yeah,
So let me ask you, Mom Donnie, you think you
can get him on Ryan. I'd like to ask him
a few questions. Yeah, doctor King was opposed to abortion?
Are you opposed to abortion? Mister mom Donnie? And mister
mom Donnie, you say you're for all of this economical quality, right, Well,
(30:04):
how about vouchers? How about true school choice? How about
all these middle income and lower income and poor kids
from all walks of life, how about giving them true
educational equality with school vouchers. Mamdani at that point he'd
probably throw up, he'd fake a stroke to get out
of that interview, because he's a crony comedy he's a
(30:26):
crony comedy. He doesn't really care about these kids. He
doesn't really care about poor people. This is his ticket
to power. Is this communism. It'st this wealthy distribution scheme.
But oh no, not for the benefit of these little
kids when it comes to something that might actually liberate
and free them so they can go out and prosper
on their own and not have to have government handouts,
(30:47):
which is the nightmare of the entire left. Whether you're
talking about a comedy like Mandani or Ryan, there's the
start of a song there can we work on it,
or you're talking about you know, Michael Bennett or John
Hickenloop or Mike Johnston, it's the same thing that the
last thing in the world they want is these kids,
you know, to be liberated and be able to reach
(31:09):
their full economic potential, these currently economically poor kids. Because
at that point, the Democratic Party goes out of business
because once people start making a certain amount of money.
I think the latest number is about sixty three thousand
a majority vote Republican. So they are dependent on suppressing
people economically. They are the fighting for Scrap's party. So
(31:31):
this phony Mandani, Yeah, yeah, school vouchers it exposes him completely.
But even if he had that issue right, which he wouldn't,
it comes back to income redistribution, the redistribution of wealth.
That is what the modern Democratic Party is about, no
matter how they perfume the pig, and Mondani is just
much more open because that works where he's running short term. Yeah,
(31:55):
it's like jumping out of an airplane ride right right.
You don't have to have a parachute to hear it once.
You do have to have a parachute to do it twice.
So it's worked for Mondanni. Now it's not going to
work in a reelection because of all the devastation that
will occur because of this. But yeah, so if you're
going to quote doctor King, you tell us if you're
(32:16):
with doctor King on opposing abortion. Mom Donnie, by the way,
he is taking doctor King way out of context on that,
and he knows it. But hey, it's going to be
good for Republicans and by extension, good for America because
socialism has never worked anywhere. Communism has never worked anywhere.
New York City isn't going to be the first look
(32:36):
at what these socialist kind of approaches are doing in
Colorado right now? Yeah, it has never worked anywhere, But
we'll get to enjoy watching together tomorrow as these lefty
politicians in Colorado race to kiss the posterior of Mom
Donnie really quick, Dan, We're is going to be the
most blatant.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yes, we have a call. In the Virginia governor's race,
Abigail stan has been elected as the first woman governor
in that commonwealth, defeating Winston Earl's.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Seezers and is too bad, my friend. But you knew
it was a bad sign for series this morning when
the Republican AG candidate came out and said he was
splitting his ticket, so the polling must he said, voters
can split their date. There's no way, Burger. I thought
(33:28):
he said he split his ticket. But same difference right
when your Republican AG candidate comes out and says, hey,
you know, split your ticket. The polls are not looking
very good at that point, but I think we're on agreement.
Wiser will be the first and the most sloppy kisser
tomorrow of Mom Donnie and gross because he's got out
(33:51):
flank Bennett on the left, and all the energy in
the Democrat Party right now is with the socialist and
the commies. I'm just telling you right now, they're going
to be the eyes open tomorrow because there are so
many regular Democrats, just normal people who vote for Democrats,
have no idea this socialist commy thing is going on
in the Democratic Party. And when they wake up tomorrow
(34:12):
and see mom Donnie wins a lot of chance to
open eyes. Brian, thank you, my friend, great work. Please
do join us tomorrow. We'll go through all the election
results and more and Congressman Jeff Herd tomorrow on The
Dan Kaplo Show.
