In a bizarre turn of events, 18th DA Amy Padden had no choice but to drop kidnapping charges against a sex offender who attempted to abduct an 11-year-old from an elementary school playground. 23rd DA George Brauchler senses something is off about the case, and that John Kellner's successor took the path of least resistance and didn't fight for the charges to stick.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dankplas Show. Please be sure to give
us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Well, if the
current reporting is true, this is one of the most unjust,
un American way things you could imagine. And hopefully we're

(00:22):
going to have some light shed on this by tremendous
source always and that is George Brouckler, the DA in
the twenty third. Glad you're here, George, welcome back to
the show.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hey, thanks for having me, Thanks for being back in
the settlement. I love the people you had replacing you,
but everybody loves to see you at the helm.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, thank you for saying that, my friend. I wish
it was true, but thank you very much for saying it,
and thank you also for covering the show when I've
been off doing these trials. But George, this story that
the reporting on this story right now is crazy. I'm
not saying the reporting is wrong, but it's mind blowing.

(01:00):
I was just joining us this. Solomon Gallaghan, thirty three,
was arrested and accused of attempting to kidnap an eleven
year old during recess at an Aurora elementary school. New
York Post reporting that the accused transgender, and then that
the story is I get at George, is that Amy
Padd and the new DA in the eighteenth where he
used to be a great DA, that Amy Padd, now

(01:22):
a Democrat, had been unable to prosecute because the accused
is reportedly not mentally competent. But then the key question
was he then released into the public. Because my understanding
has always been that if somebody can't be prosecuted because
they're not mentally all there, that the DA then has
the option of holding them in a mental health facility.

(01:46):
So can you shed some light on this one, George.
It's really alarming.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, it's a super troubling one. And keep in mind
that before this person went to try to go kidnap
this young boy was all already a registered sex offender.
Now that can only happen if you've been convicted of
a prior sex offense. And so somehow this person navigated
the legal waters in order to become a registered sex defender,
but now is incompetent to stand trial. There was a

(02:14):
change in the laws recently, as I think it was
twenty twenty four. And remember this is the Dems in
charge who books this thing through, and they change the
law significantly so that I'll give you an example on
all second class misdemeanors and below, and that includes some
pretty serious misdemeanors, some domestic violence, some lower level child abuse,
that all this other stuff. If you get a report

(02:36):
back from the state hospital it says that this person
is incompetent, the DA must immediately dismiss the case against
that person and just send them right back out into
the community. If in the felony like this, you have
a longer period of time to challenge this. But at
the end of the day, the idea is that you're
going to end up having to dismiss cases against people

(02:58):
who are called income potent and unlikely to be restorable
in the foreseeable future. None of those terms except restorable
are defined. So what's the foreseeable future. Nobody knows, it's
just whatever. And so you have a growing number of
these defense attorneys who see this, this is the out,
this is the way he pursue it. And I think

(03:20):
the real question on this case and it's something that
I hope the eighteenth answers is when this guy was
sent down to the state hospital, did the state hospital
say he was incompetent or he was competent? Because my
understanding from what I have heard, is that the state
hospital found him to be competent, which means that the no,

(03:41):
which means that the only and if I'm wrong, someone
can correct me, But that means the only recourse under
that circumstance is the defense under the statute can then say, hey,
we'd like to find and pay for our own competency evaluation,
and so they If that's true that the state hospital
found him to be competent, it means that someone else

(04:02):
was hired by the defense to shrink this guy and
came back and said, Nope, he's incompetent and unlikely to
be restorable. Well, that should have led to in my opinion,
that's what have led to a hearing. Yeah, Like I'm
kind of a hearing where you battle over competence, right,
and this is the kind of thing where these things
get worked out. But it looks like if that's true,

(04:23):
whatever that second report from that separately hunted foreign sound psychiatrist,
the DA's office took that and said, oh no, no,
we like that better than the state hospital opinion. And
so there needs to be more digging into this because
it's super concerning. But at the end of the day,
the law has been set up by the Democrats to
put these people back out onto the street without any

(04:46):
protections for us. There's one civil piece that could exist here.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's possible that civilly, you could go through probate. The
city or the county could go through probate and try
to get this guy committed until such time at least
as the maximum sentence could be served, or they could
potentially be restored. But there's no I mean, the way
it is right now, Dan, we have a whole host

(05:12):
and a growing number of cases. Seriously, I know I
talked about chief prosecutor who does cris give cases, and
she told me that a couple of years ago when
we were eating, we were forced.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
To George, can I interrupt for a second, because this
is one of the most important things you and I
have ever talked about, and we have a very bad
connection right now. But I think we're trying to clean
it up as we speak. George Brockler kind enough to
be with us, and hopefully you've had a chance to
hear this entire segment with him. We're going to try

(05:44):
to get back to George right now. But if I
understand George correctly, what he's saying is that Democrats have
passed a law that says that even in felony cases,
and hey, there can be some really serious second degree misdemeanors,
but even in felony cases that if somebody's declared incompetent
mentally incompetent to stay in trial, that they have to

(06:07):
be released under certain circumstances. And so we want to
drill down on that because it sounds like there may
be a state law that has to be reversed, even
if it takes a ballot measure. But George is also
telling us he's heard, he hasn't been able to confirm,
but he has heard that the state hospital found this
This reporting says convicted sex offender who allegedly try to

(06:30):
kidnap a child from an Aurora schoolyard found this person competent.
And if this is a case where the DA then
just decided that they were going to accept a defense
picked and paid for expert report over the state hospital.
The people of the state need to know that, the
people in a position to recall her need to know that. George,

(06:51):
thank you for coming back to us with the better line.
I was just telling Ferks, you and I have talked
about a lot of important stuff, that this is one
of the most important things we've ever discussed. And so
let me ask you, what is the mechanism for getting
to the truth here? Is this a case where the
DA can just bury this if the DA wants to.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yes, And here's how, and by the way, I want
to leave open the possibility, especially because half these prosecutors
are people I either hired or promoted, and Kilner led
and stuff. I just want to leave open the possibility that,
even though they've made a decision that I can't figure
out or explain at the moment, that they're trying to
use some civil system to make sure this guy gets
locked up in a state hospital. Whether it's through the

(07:34):
criminal process or probate process, I don't know. And maybe
that's the case, but think about how this works now.
The Democrats on the legislature have not only rigged the
competency statue, but they've also previously rigged our sealing statutes
when it comes to cases. So the minute the DA
dismisses a case, they're required to dismiss, it automatically gets sealed,

(07:56):
which means the minute it gets sealed, if you were
to ask them, hey, I want to talk to you
about the decision you made in this case, they would
have to by laws say what case.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Which are DA in? That situation is going to love right,
because then they can't be second guests. That's right. Yeah, boy,
that is awful and so dangerous.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
So again I hope I'm wrong on the information that
I heard third hand on this thing. But when I
heard it, I thought, wait a minute, what are we
doing here? I mean, this is this is the kind
of case and we've been forced I mean when I
say we, the DNA's office has been forced to dismiss.
Before I was trying to tell you about this one
that happened under John with a grandfather who had perpetratrated
on his on his grandkid. But that's one where and

(08:41):
Jeff COO's got a case of this too. They went
to battle in court and thought dismissed the case and
was like, nope, I'm sorry, I'm going to find the
dude incompetent. Now you have to dismiss That's one thing,
But to roll over and play dead that's something else.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah. That that that is the big question and this law,
because I don't think it's been on the radar of
most of us out here, and the need to get
this law changed because if I understand you correctly, they're
the Left is set up a circumstance in Colorado where
you can have all of these extraordinarily violent people who
are who are claimed they're not mentally competent. And if

(09:19):
you then have a leftist DA who is willing to
set aside the state hospital and just accept a defense
picked and paid for report, that person's just released into
the public to commit more crimes.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
That can absolutely be the outcome. That's right. And once
the case is dismissed, you and I and everybody else
cannot question that decision or the information that went into it.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
And George Way, in the last minute, we have together,
what is the left's motive behind this? Because they always
have one right, But what's the motive behind this this madness?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
And you and I have seen this and talked about
it so many times. They are the most offen focused
and offender centric ideological group that you can out there.
They believe, for fair that it focuses too much on
victims and retribution and not enough on either rehabilitation or forgiveness.
And so they are committed to the idea that nobody

(10:16):
should spend one more millisecond in prison that they can
keep from happening. And this is a vehicle to do that.
I mean, look, there is a good reason for this. Look,
if someone were found to be incompetent on a DUI,
let's say you I, I'm making this up, and they're
found in confident, you would not say, let's lock them
up in the state hospital for ten years. Can't be restored.
We would say, well, that's not even maximum sense. They

(10:36):
could have if they drove group right. So I understand that,
but they have taken it to a new extreme, and
that new extreme is we will dismiss these cases as
quickly as possible if we can find any psychologists or
psychiastrists to say incompetent and unrestorable in the foreseeable future.
And by the way, we won't define what that term means.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Wow. Well, George, thank you for being with us. Has
always learned a lot, my friend, thank you for sure.
An you take care of that is George Brockler, the
Great DA in the twenty third. I want to get
your react to this and what do we do about it.
You're on the Dame Kapitlas Show.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Just you know they're paying for everything.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
We're not paying anymore. We were. We have an ocean
separating us.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
They said, we have a problem.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
We'd make the best stuff, but we can't.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Keep doing this.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
And Biden should have done this years ago. You should
have done it from the beginning.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
But he didn't.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
He didn't know. He was there President Trump talking about
Patriot missiles, et cetera, that we'll be helping Ukraine now
at the US not paying three or three someone three
A two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Let's go to Ron and Inglewood's are
on the Dame Capitalis Show. Welcome.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Thank you, mister Caplas. Enjoy hearing you all the time.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
I'll jump back away as you made a comment about oh,
someone resigning and that person will who dact I helped
get signatures to get her to resign and if she resigned,
but she was assigned to another position. So you talking

(12:15):
about Amy brought up that in my memory.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
And what our friend Ron is referring to is we've
had a lot of conversations today, including Danielle Jirinsky, city
councilwoman in a row about recalling Amy Patten, and Danielle
is launching that effort. We'll have more on it on
the show. And it's originally launched over the outrage. It's
obscene this beautiful young woman, twenty four, Caitlin Weaver, killed

(12:42):
by this team driver driving ninety recklessly in a homicidal
way in a residential neighborhood. He happens to be here
illegally and she gives him probation, and that in and
of itself, I think his justification for a recall campaign.
But now we have the issue of according to the reporting,
this thirty three year old transgender convicted sex offender who

(13:05):
allegedly tries to kidnap an eleven year old from an
Aurora school and she's not prosecuting, determining that he's not
mentally competent, and the reporting is that he's been released
into the community. So we're trying to confirm all of
these facts. But that's the recall effort that Ron's referring to.

(13:26):
So not an easy thing, right, Ron, the whole recall process,
I think, Danielle.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
It was frigid, freezing temperature on idiots and Wadsworth. But
we got him and that was an art. When rmgo
began the other question, I want to ask you. I
heard the comment that the young person who shot President
Trump died.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Crooks. Yeah, he was killed at the scene.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh I didn't realize that, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, no, no, he eventually the snipers got him. And that, interestingly,
was the first event I believe of the entire campaign
where the Trump the Biden White House gave the Trump
campaign counter snipers. They had been denied that, and they
were denied so much. And in fact, as I understand
the reporting, the Trump Secret Service detail and the Trump

(14:23):
campaign had not been told by the Biden White House
that that Iran was actively trying to assassinate Trump.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Well, and didn't the Secret Service director recently resign a
long time.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Ago, Yeah, as she should have. What a mess that was.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Oh yeah, that was very disgusting.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Appreciate the callment. Thanks for taking the time. I appreciate
that you can TEXTDA in five, seven, seven through nine.
There are a ton of those today, Dan, this is
so disgusting regarding the FODA that from our friend Alexa.
Now we all know these Listen. These recalls are brutal, right,
they're really hard, but this one make it off the ground. Dan,

(15:06):
I can't wait until pull this, you know, I can't
read the rest of that one. Sorry, and competent to
stand trial, and this is a key. George Brockler was
kind enough to join us, and George said, hey, I
don't have this confirm, but he's hearing that the state
hospital had found this convicted sex offender competent to stand

(15:27):
trial and yet the charges were still dismissed. And George
was guessing that meant that the defense had come up
with an expert saying, oh no, he's incompetent to stand
trial and he's not restorable, meaning we can't get his competence.
Back to the fact you at points you can put
him on trial. We'll wait a second. If you're the
DA and you've got the state hospital saying he's competent.

(15:48):
If that's the scenario here, don't you have to go
ahead and at least fight like hell you know, I
have this guy found competent and to put him on
trial when the allegation is kidnapping a child from elementary
school and your jurisdiction. Yeah, we have got to get
to the bottom of this, which is easier said than done,
right because of the ability to now get these case

(16:10):
files sealed. So we'll continue to follow that and listen,
we know there are a lot of recall efforts, and
we always give folks chance to come on Aaron to
make their case, but this one may actually have a chance.
So we'll have Danielle back and get more detail as
we go through this. We'll get to a lot more
of these texts between now and the end of the

(16:32):
show as well. But I do want to set up
this next topic. I may be the only person around
who cares about this. I find it funny and interesting
and revealing and important in a way the Left doesn't
appreciate all at the same time. So when we come back,
I am telling you right now, short of Martians landing,
I'm going to play this sound and set this story up.

(16:53):
And the gist of it is Paulus who's on his
way out after eight I'd love to say uneventful. Unfortunately,
they were very badly eventful eight years. You know, Polis
now wants this legacy project. I put that in quotes
of this very expensive bridge built over Broadway in downtown

(17:14):
Denver to the state Capitol, so people can go from
Civic Center Park to the State Capitol without having to
cross the street. And I'm like, okay, but what's interesting
and fun about this is that the Denver Post is
supporting it and Kyle Clark on KUSA is opposing it,
So the left is divided about this. I want to

(17:36):
play you the sound and get your take because I
think it's just so revealing as to why Polish really
wants it and how easy this would be to fix
without a bridge. You're on the Dan Capital Ship.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
The governor of Colorado wants to build a twenty nine
million dollar estrian bridge project in front of the state Capitol,
this winding, snaking walkway slash art installation, crossing four lanes
of traffic to Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park. I understand that
Governor Polis wants a legacy project, but there's no good

(18:18):
reason to build this, and there are.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
So many reasons not to build it.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
I don't know if this monument to government waste can
be stopped, but we ought to try. The public's initial
reaction to the renderings of the bridge appears to be
a mix of shock, disgust.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
And amusement.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
Yet the governor appears dead set on building this bridge,
even if no one else wants it except him in
some of his rich donor friends, I should say, I
have no issue with them having power and money.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
I presume that they have earned both.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
I do have an issue with them treating Colorado's capital
like it's their own personal property. The two big criticisms
of this project I've heard so far is that it's
ugly and that it's a waste of money.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
I'll get to those in a moment. I actually think that.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
The best argument against the project is the fact that
the governor can't come up with a good argument for it.
The Governor's office says this project honors our shared history,
showcases local artists, and brings the community together. Well, it's
bringing the community together. In opposition, the preservation group Historic
Denver wrote, quote, plowing a functionally useless bridge through a

(19:24):
historic site serves no purpose but does extensive damage. As
for this being a twenty nine million dollar outdoor art
gallery Capitol Hill, United Neighbors, which represents the people who
live around here arts.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
He types lots of them.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
They oppose the project too, saying, quote, we believe the
rich and diverse stories of our state should be honored.
Constructing a massive bridge does not achieve that goal.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Thank you, Ryan. That gives us a good feel. Listen.
That's just very good reporting and commentary by Kyle Clark.
You know, and I wish we'd had that same kind
of approach to some of these major scandals of the governor,
such as cutting this major break, to this mass killer
out on I seventy because Kim Kardashian whispers into his ear,

(20:06):
et cetera. But this is good reporting by Kyle Clark.
I agree with everything he said there. What's interesting is
the Denver Post is supporting the project but saying that
it should be mostly private money and what it appears
lack of self awareness. They're just more likely arrogance and audacity.
What the left doesn't want to acknowledge here in any

(20:26):
of that, is it why do we need the bridge
to begin with? Well, because it's such a mess at
ground level, right, And why is it such a mess
because of leftist policies, And so you wouldn't need this
bridge at all if the left would simply enforce the law.

(20:46):
Enforce the law. No, you're not going to be able
to come to Denver. My heart breaks for all of
these addicts right there, but for the grace of God,
could be any of us. But yeah, you're not going
to be able to come here and violate the law
and stay out on the street and stay out on
the street and this zombie like state. You're not going
to be able to come here and stay out on

(21:06):
the street homeless. You know, we're going to be Christian,
if we happen to be Christian like me, we're going
to be human. We're going to be caring. But you're
not going to be able to trash the quality of
life for everybody else. You wouldn't need the bridge, and
you'd have a whole lot better you'd have a whole
lot better environment down there for everybody the governor claims
to care about with this bridge, But of course the

(21:29):
left doesn't want to do it, and it ties into
the other stories we've been talking about today, and the
reason there's this recall effort out for the DA in
a Rapo County because the Democrats have become this pro
crime party. And as a former Democrat and the son
of a thirty year Chicago cop and the relative of
every single family member outside of Colorado's a Democrat. And

(21:51):
these are all patriotic, peaceful, law abiding people who don't
support criminals, but the party they support has become old
openly the pro criminal party. And we could talk for
a long time about why, what's the true agenda of
the Left. I'm not talking about the Democrat I sleep with,
or you sleep with, or anybody sleeps with. I'm talking

(22:12):
about the hardcore left that owns and operates that party.
Their agenda is much different than most of their voters.
Their agenda is to undermine America and to change it
in ways that would cause most decent people to throw up.
And part of a key to their agenda is this
chaos in society. And this chaos in society is fed

(22:35):
in many different ways, including mass illegal immigration, including that
you know one out of a thousand or ten out
of a thousand who are hardened criminals who the Left
welcomes in, but you get numbers big enough to cause
total chaos and crime and carnage and society. And part
of it is being pro criminal and turning these criminals
back out on the street and flooding the street, you know,

(22:57):
with with people who are just a dick did beyond
function at this point because of leftist policies. That's how
they're undermining this nation. And yet police wants to build
a big bridge over it. No, no, just attack the
underlying problem, which of course he won't do because he
values power more than doing what's right. That's what's going

(23:19):
on here, Ryan, I'm done for the day. You can
take the last twenty. That's the end of the show.
That's what more is there to say. I've done my job. Well,
I've earned my keep. That's the reality of what's going on.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
He just shows you exactly how tone deaf Jared Polis
is and has always been, how out of touch. He
doesn't have that common touch, he doesn't have that appeal.
I can't believe he won two elections he does.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
How much money does he have?

Speaker 7 (23:43):
Well, he bought him, but I don't think normally that
alone would be enough.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Speaking of which, do you have that great clip I
sent you I know if I sent it too late,
the one of Trump talking about all the ugly guys
he's talking to. I've been how their wives have lead him.
In a second, he won't have any money. I need
one minute. Oh no, no, I'm sorry. I didn't put you
on the spot. I sent it to Ryan too late.
But it was a hilarious riff by the president. Is
let me ask you this, is there one honest person

(24:09):
in America who believes Thomas Crooks acted alone? Number number two?
Is there one honest person in Colorado who believes we
ever hear of Jared Polis an elective office if he
isn't unbelievably wealthy, And hey, I don't begrudge him his
wealth at all. I admire people who go out within
the law, they are in prosperity, etc. And he had

(24:30):
wonderful parents who built a tremendous company. But no, no,
the guy's money. Can you imagine if police didn't have
all that money, not only would we have not heard
of him, we already would have had a female governor.
Kerry Kennedy would have been governor. She was going to
win that primary until polist flattender with his money and
she would have been bad on policy, but we at

(24:51):
least wouldn't have this total embarrassment of sitting here without
ever having had a woman governor or senator. And the Democrats, right,
they're the enlightened party. They're the enlightened party that. And
guess guess how many women, how many minorities they've had
rights as governor or US senator and you know, Democrat
controlled Colorado, how many let's count them together? Zero zero? Yeah,

(25:16):
not a because their phonies, their phonies, they get up
there and they preach all this DEI stuff, and then
what do you get? You get the three most boring
middle aged or old white guys you could ever imagine.
You could go into any nursing home, right, you could
go into any retirement community in Florida, and you could
not pull out three more boring old white guys. That

(25:39):
then then Hick and Looper, Bennett and polis am i
wrong about any of that. Couldn't you see those guys
around the pool down there, you know, playing some shuffle
board and yet that the progressive Democrats and have put
progressive in quotes because they're regressive in reality. They just

(25:59):
let these just let these guys kick them in the
crotch and get away with it, fire away, right, And.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
The alternative is one of two things. You can either
get all these things and make the economy strong, or
you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Literally have perhaps a.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
Depression where you people so rich, so beautiful, so nice
to look at, we'll be totally busted.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
And let's see how long your wife stays with you.
You're beautiful.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
She'll stay with you for about three weeks and says say, Darling,
I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore, Darling,
I'm leaving you.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I said to one guy.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
He's a very very unattractive man, but he's smart.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
And he's rich.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
And I said, you better hope we get this thing
past because your wife will be gone with it.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
About two minutes.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
He said, you're right.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, we just don't deserve trump do. But I feel
great about this because when I met my wife, she
was making more than I was. And that makes all
this even harder to explain. Right, Yeah, three or three
said one? Three eight two five five text d an
five seven seven three nine.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
And the alternative is one of two things. You can
either get all these things and make the economy strong,
or you're gonna literally have perhaps a depression where you
people so rich, so beautiful, so nice to look at,
will be totally busted.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
And let's see how long your wife stays with you.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
You're beautiful to stay with you for about three weeks
and says say, Darling, I can't take it anymore. I
can't take it anymore, Darling, I'm leaving you. I said
to one guy. He's a very very unattractive man, but
he's he's smart, and he's rich. And I said, you
better hope we get this thing past because your wife

(27:54):
will be gone with it.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
About two minutes.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
He said, you're right.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
We're going to miss this guy.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Right.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'm glad we have three more years with them, three
and a half.

Speaker 7 (28:04):
But without question, the funniest president we've ever had, because
he does that off the cuff and it's just.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, And you know what, the gifts will keep on
giving with Trump in so many different ways, right, because
he's broken the mold. He's broken the mold for what
it means to be a Republican, a Republican president, Republican
elected official. And so you're going to have a lot
more people from just outside the outside the political pipeline.
Because of his success and appeal, you're going to have

(28:33):
people who are are more willing to just shoot straight
right and and just be brutally honest about things, more
people willing to be funny, and and you know those
are those are some of the gifts. There are many
others that are going to keep giving. But then you
sit here and think, tough act to follow, and and
but but so much talent out there. Did you realize

(28:54):
that if JD gets it next, right, and you have
to think that he's probably the favorite over Marco right now,
though both would be great. I know DeSantis is in
the mix, But if JD gets it next, you know,
you're talking about a while before Rubio could be president.
But you have so much talent on the GOP side,

(29:15):
excited to think about how many people? Do you think
Mary for money? I mean, you know Trump that great
riff makes you think about it. But you know what happens?
I mean, do you assume every time you see and
it's almost always right, a young woman with an older guy.
Sometimes it's the opposite. Sometimes it's a young guy with
an older woman. Do you just automatically assume that's about money.

(29:39):
Is that unfair to assume that?

Speaker 4 (29:40):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 7 (29:41):
I mean you think back to Anna Nicole Smith that
a ninety year old oil baron. I mean, that wasn't
for his looks. And you know, you don't want to
jump to that conclusion necessarily. Although you know, if I'm
going to sit here and go, what I married Dolly Parton,
she's a widow now, and we've talked about this before, Dan,
my affinity for her, it's not. It wouldn't because of

(30:02):
money though, because she's just the sweetest woman alive.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
So yeah, yeah, it doesn't fit there.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
But that, and I don't mean to get all preachy.
I'm still just laughing at what Trump had to say.
But that would have to be like one of the
most miserable existence is possible. Wouldn't it just to be
married to some old guy for his money or married
to some old gal for her money.

Speaker 7 (30:22):
Doesn't seem like it'd be worth it because you're having
to have a life with this person at least on
some level, right, So you would want some kind of
connection other than that, right, Oh.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, like you know a hundred different ways. It would
seem to just be total misery. But maybe there are
some people out there who have just married people for
their money who would want to chime in on it.
But yeah, it just yeah, that would seem like torture
three or three someone three eight two five five takes
d an five seven seven, three nine. So much going

(30:53):
on in the world today, if you just joined us,
want to give your heads up on something that may
may really catch fire. I mean, these recall efforts are
so brutal right, the system set up that way. I'm
not saying this is going to succeed, but I think
it's worth a hard look on your part. And that
is Danielle Jerreenski, Eurosity council woman who was on the
show earlier. She's launching a recall for Amy Padden, the

(31:15):
Democrat DA in a rapo. Now, I understand you're probably
listening to this show somewhere else in Colorado or beyond,
and you're not in that judicial district. But what I'm
saying is, I think this really matters to all of us.
I happen to be in that district because this precedent
of getting these hyper political lefty DA's in there is

(31:37):
a direct threat. It's a direct threat to everything we
stand for as Americans, and some of the miscarriages of
justice from what I've been able to see that are
going on with her. That's something I think we all
need to just, if nothing else, stand up and say
this is wrong, this is obscene, this is immoral, and

(31:57):
at least have taken a stand on it and do
what we can. So, yeah, pay attention if you would.
Danielle will be back on to talk about this, and
as always of course, will invite Amy Paden on to
talk about it. I doubt very much she'll come on,
because again, when when you can't defend yourself, you can't
defend your actions, well you're not going to go on
a radio show and try to do that. That's why

(32:19):
it's so hard for us to get anybody from the
left on. But it's one of those where I think
we just have to stand up and be heard, and
then who knows, maybe catch lightning in a bottle and
actually get a recall. So we'll stay on top of
that and then then at the chance about you may
just not even be interested in that right now, and

(32:41):
I don't blame you, but I really do think it's
one of the most important things in our lives right now,
because you see this ongoing battle between good and evil
right and Trump is having so much success, and good
is on the march in so many different ways, from
advancements in the pro life movement to Trump with peace

(33:04):
and prosperity, just in so many different ways. Yet you
have some major forces of evil on the planet, including Putin,
and he has been raping and pillaging Ukraine, and he
did the math and bet that Europe would not be
willing to go boots on the ground to stop him,
which is the only thing that would stop him. And yeah,
it's not America's fight, never an American boot on the ground,

(33:25):
not unlimited money for Ukraine. But it would be good
for us if Putin lost. It be good for the
world if Putin lost. The problem is we can't control that.
The only thing that will stop Putin is Europe being
willing to step up, and all indications are they are
not going to do it. They're going to do what
they do. They're going to talk, and they're going to
have little teas and events and meetings, but Europe is

(33:50):
not going to step up to save Ukraine in a
meaningful way. So we'll continue to talk about all that, Ryan,
Thank you for your great work today. As always, Kelly,
Humans sunshine just infuses every day with warmth and happiness,
