What a pretty weekend and a warm, hot, dry week ahead.
So nothing better than summer in Colorado. Lots to dive
(00:24):
into that. The tough part is Cornercopia time. Right where
do you start?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Local? National?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I mean, Ryan, did you realize? I'm sure you did,
You're like the Wikipedia. Did you realize today is one
year since Kamala declared? Oh and wow, just think of
everything that happened in that year, and how could anybody
have doubted she was going to win when she opened
the campaign with that twerking who was at Megan thee Stallion,
(00:49):
you know, down in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And we only later.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Found out how much Meghan was paid to go gyrate
on that stage, but you just knew that was going
to register with America that day. So wow, a year
ago today, what a ride it has been. And again,
you know, I will always always owe this audience an
apology for having spoiled all the fun there, right, because
the day that she announced reminded people that Trump was.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Going to win.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
She wasn't going to win, just like Joe Biden was
never going to be the nominee. And we really sucked
a lot of the joy out of it. But the
good news is joy will soon be back because Denver
Mayor Mike Johnston says, the challenge now for Denver right
is just putting more joy back into the sixteenth Street mall.
But we can't call it that anymore, can we? We
(01:37):
just have to call it sixteenth because they paid that
consultant what one hundred grand to drop them all? How
much would you have charged him for that advice.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
To drop one word?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
A lot less than that.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, no, I've not that, just because you're a good
citizen to care about this community. So we'll have some
fun with that sound. And of course Hunter Biden unleashing today.
And the funny thing is, you know, some of what
he says is absolutely right on target, which we don't
get to say often about Hunter Biden. And best thing
(02:07):
is he apparently said it for free, which is a
real change, and so much more to cover today. I
do want to get into something we touched on last
week I care about very very very deeply, and that is,
you know, what happened to the only Catholic church in Gaza.
And when we talked last week, I had made the point,
you know, there's there's probably no greater defender of Israel
(02:30):
on air than me, and Israel is our great ally
and who has been a tremendous force for good and
combating evil in the world. And Israel, of course the
absolute victim in the horrific October seven attacks.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
But when we talked last week about.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gazam
and you know, the priest was injured, not seriously, unfortunately,
three parishioners there were killed and quite a bit of
damage done. You know, at that time, as we had
talked about, Israel said it was a stray munition. Well
over the weekend, and I take this very seriously. You know,
(03:12):
Publio came out and he said it was I'll quote
what he said. I want to express my profound sadness
regarding last Thursday's attack by the Israeli army on the
Catholic parish of Holy Family in Gaza City. And so
the Pope of the Vatican taking the position that this
was a direct attack, and taking that position after speaking
(03:34):
with Prime Mister Minister Netna, who called the Pope, which
I respect and appreciate as President Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Had called the Pope.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And so I just want to just have it on
the radar that the Vatican believes this was a direct attack,
not Israel attacking a Catholic church. Obviously that would not
happen in my opinion anyway. But you know, how did
this happen? And I think it's a very very important
that we get an answer, of course, that the Vatican
(04:03):
get an answer above all, and that the.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Truth be known. How could something like this happen?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So I just wanted to update you on that story,
because again I think that's very very important to get
to the bottom of three or three seven one three
A two five five the number.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Texts d A and five seven seven three nine. Of course,
we're going to spend some time today on the escalation of.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
The Trump administration's claims over the weekend that Barack Obama
had directly orchestrated this coup attempt, and I think I
was the first on air to refer to it as
a cop attempt while it was happening in real time
back in early twenty seventeen. But Trump administration, you know,
taking direct political aim and perhaps legal aim at Barack
(04:50):
Obama now to the point where over the weekend and
their creative team is very good. I mean, this was
high level AI. Whether you agree with the content or not.
But Ryan, I'm sure you saw that that the President
tweeted out this AI type generated video of Obama being
arrested in the Oval Office sitting next to President to Trump,
(05:13):
that's subtle about what do you think happened and where
he wants this to go.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, it was pretty convincing video too.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
If you're not well trained to spot AI, it's getting
better and better, and it just has the appearance that
they're both sitting in the Oval Office, President Trump and
President Obama, and then all.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Of a sudden, Obama's taken into custody.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
And the fact that you said, Dan, that President Trump
himself would repost that on true social tells you everything
you need.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
To know about how he feels on the matter.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, and I mean, who can blame him, right because
I said it at the time as it was happening.
It was a coup attempt so who could blame him?
Now the question becomes right, I mean, still have to
be a nation of laws, and DJ has to operate
within the law and everything has to work. You know,
we can't have this two tier system of justice as
(06:02):
the left has had. You know, We've got to operate
properly within the law. But there do appear to be
very very fair questions here. Now have I seen proof?
And I've tried to really study this and study everything
that the administration's put out on this, I haven't seen
what I could consider to be the kind of evidence
that would stand up in court proving any kind of
(06:25):
criminal offense against President Obama. And then you get into
statutal limitations issues. But let me give you just a
quick overview of my understanding of the timeline as it's
being put out by the administration and the heart of
the allegation against Barack Obama. And I would not be
yet all surprised if it was true. But here's in
(06:47):
a nutshell, what the administration is saying. Okay, you get
President Trump elected in November of sixteen, and then in
December seventh of sixteen, the claim is that the intelligence
community determined that foreign adversaries had not been using cyber
attacks to try to alter the outcome. I haven't of
(07:09):
the election. I have not seen the source documents on that.
But that's what the administration's saying. But here's the key,
and you'll hear this date a lot if this story
continues to unfold, as I suspect it will. Key date
December ninth, twenty sixteen, big meeting Clapper, Brennan, Lynch, lots of.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Others to discuss Russia.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So President Trump has been you know, the elections about
a month in the past. We're still waiting for the
inauguration in January. December nine, twenty sixteen, you get this
big meeting of intelligence community officials and others. They meet
to discuss Russia. And then right after this meeting, a
(07:57):
memo is issued that indicates that the president that Obama
asked the intelligence community leaders to detail quote the tools
Moscow used and action it took to influence the twenty
sixteen election. So this meeting and this memo are at
the heart of what the administration is pursuing right now.
(08:21):
The belief that Barack Obama stepped in around December nine
of twenty sixteen, and despite intelligence community assessments indicating that
Russia had not influenced the outcome of the election, that
Obama directed the intelligence community to get together and detail
the tools that Moscow used.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So that's the heart of the allegation.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But then, as you know, what followed from there was
a nightmare for this country, a nightmare for Trump. It
was a coup attempt. What followed then was in early
January of seventeen, you had some in the intelligence community
now latch onto this bogus Steele dossier as the basis
(09:06):
to do all sorts of horrible things to this nation
and to President Trump, including the Mueller investigation and all
the trauma that was inflicted on the nation, all the
harm to the President's agenda and as a result, to
America from that and so much more. So that's the
heart of the allegation. There are a lot of other
moving pieces, but that's the heart of the allegation. And
(09:28):
so I expect we're going to hear a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
More about this.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'd be a little surprised if Chelsea Gabbard would go
as far and President Trump wult go as far as
he did this weekend unless they felt they they had
the proof and they intended to pursue it to the end.
So we'll continue to follow that story. Three or three
someone three a two five five the number when we
come back. Kyle Clark tweets out, Hey, Mike Johnston's two
(09:53):
hundred and fifty million in the hole and that's about
what he.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Spent on his homeless program.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
And he connection, I'm paraphrasing the tweet fa loosely, but
when we come back, Mike Johnston responds to that, You're
on the Dan Capitla Show.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I was the hunted and now I'm the hunter. There's
a big difference, do yep, President Trump?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Right to the point three or three seven one three
eight two five five text d a N five seven
seven three nine And who can blame them? Right, as
long as they stays within the bounds of the law,
who can blame them? What happened to this nation then
was horrific, And I called it at the time. Some
people said, man, you're crazy to be calling this a
cool attempt. That's exactly what it was.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Legally, where the statute of limitations falls on potential charges
et cetera, whether the evidence rises to the level to
support those charges. All that, that's got to be done
by the book. But the need to investigate it is
very real and necessary for this country. You see, that's
the thing, right, You never want that stuff repeated. You
never want that stuff repeated. And so the people who
(11:03):
did wrong, they they have to be called out on it.
The law has to be fully enforced, equally enforced, properly
enforced so this stuff doesn't happen again. Now, Kyle Clark,
normally a friend of course to the left, Kyle had
tweeted this out about Mayor Mike Johnston.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Then for Mayor.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Mike Johnston is marking two years in office, steering down
a two hundred and fifty million budget gap, roughly the
amount he spent on his signature programs to assist migrants
and the homeless. He told me he does not wish
he had those dollars back.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I'm sure he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Does anybody think Mike Johnston has personally been affected in
any way?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But by slashing the.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Budget, by putting these people on furlough, cutting the police budget,
all of that, kids can't go to the rec center
they want to go to. You know, our intersections look
like worse than Third World. Is anybody think Johnston's been
affected personally by that?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I would doubt it very much. Cut twenty four place,
do you wish you had any of those dollars back?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I wish that I had the federal dollars back that
they promised us on immigration that we spent pending their reimbursement.
I definitely wish we had those back. I wouldn't take
back any of dollars we spent on homelessness. I think
when you look at the results that we've had on
that investment, it's historic, and we've dropped the homeless rate
more than another city in American history. That's a win.
So I think that investment's working. We'll keep doing it.
We want to find ways to make it better. I
(12:31):
think on the migrant crisis, we certainly didn't ask for it,
didn't go looking for it.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That was not on our priority list.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
But we also didn't want to see people freeze to
death from the streets of the city, so that was
a humanitarian crisis we had to step in. I wish
the federal government had come through on their promise to
reimburse us, but I wouldn't change our response.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh my goodness, have we ever had a more deceptive
elected official than Mike Johnston?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Let me open that up.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Three or three seven one three eight two five five
text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Homeless rate. We've had the biggest drop in America. Wait
a second. The homeless rate went up.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It went up predictably, right because when Mike Johnston promised,
you know, I'll allow the mayor of New York or
the guy who's about to be the mayor of New York, Hey,
we will get you home.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Just come to Denver, We'll get you home. What do
you think was going to happen?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Of course, the homeless rate was going to go up,
and that was documented recently. Now he's taken a bunch
of people off the streets. He's taken a bunch of
people off the streets by taking taxpayer dollars and by
housing a lot of people on the taxpayer dime, which
is unsustainable. So if you want to talk about taking
(13:40):
people off the streets at a cost that is literally
unsustainable for this city, i e. The two hundred and
fifty million dollar deficit that's causing all these cuts. Yeah,
he has quote accomplished that, but he has done.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
So much more harm than good, starting.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
With the people he's taken off the streets themselves. This
is a sugar high. This is a short term fix, right.
I mean, you're not talking about people now who are
being required to get help, to break the cycle, to
put them on the streets in the first place, in
order to get this housing. You're talking about people who
have simply been warehoused on the taxpayer dime so Mike
(14:21):
Johnston can claim a victory. So what's going to happen now?
Eventually that money is going to run out. It ran
out a long time ago, right, That's why we have
a deficit, and then those people are going to be
put back on the street. And it's going to be
worse than ever Why because a we're going to have
more than ever before, because the numbers have simply increased.
(14:42):
And then we're going to have a bunch of people
who haven't lived on the street for a long time
who are suddenly dumped.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Back on the street. And how do you think that's
going to go?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Whereas if you approach this in a humane way to
begin with, because these people are human, right, they're made
in the image and likeness of God. They've got to
be treated with that kind of human dignity. But that
doesn't mean hardworking taxpayers have to support them. It doesn't
mean hardworking taxpayers have to compromise their quality of life.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
No, what it means is you do.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Something smart, like I've been suggesting forever. You put the
word out we enforce our laws in Denver, and that
includes the homeless. We don't have a two tier justice system.
So if you come here and you disobey our laws,
you will lose your freedom right off the bat. Whole
bunch of homeless going to leave, a whole bunch of
homeless not going to come here. Then the ones who
(15:34):
violate the laws, you treat them, you maanly, and you
take away their freedom.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You put them in facilities where they can actually have
a chance to break this cycle.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So yeah, you're housing them, but they're losing their freedom,
and then they're hopefully making progress in there that gives
you a real chance to dent this cycle. What Johnston's
doing is just making it work three or three one, three, eight,
two five five. But the way he lies it's just
mind blowing. And then he says, Ryan, we didn't ask
(16:07):
for this migrant crisis.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
We aren't going to let people freeze to death on
the streets.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wait a second, Johnston is out there, the entire left
in Colorado is out there essentially recruiting illegal people to
come here, illegally illegal immigrants to come here. You know,
he's not opposing these laws. He backed sanctuary City. He's
not opposing these laws that are the strongest possible.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Magnet, Hey, come to Denver, Come to Colorado. You can
get your driver's.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
License and official government ID right away, right away.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You won't even get vetted. You won't get your criminal
history vetted.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
You get that driver's license right away, and you yourself
can use an ID to get it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
That's years old.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I mean, they have been in so many ways actively
recruiting people to come here illegally. So at what point, Ryan,
if any, do you think the people get wise?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Who will get wise that.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
The people of Denver get wise to Mike Johnston at
any he's term limited right now, they've got I mean,
he has another cycle? Is it eight or twelve years
in Denver for americ Can they go two or three cycles?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
It wasn't Hancock for twelve or no?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, I just don't know if it changed after that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I'll double check that during the break,
speaking of which I have word that Eerie Mike is alive,
and well that is a great relief to us because
we had not heard from Eerie for a long time.
Can you see if he can stay it ale after
the break, because we don't want to cut him short,
and I think we're just up against the break right now,
(17:40):
and when we come back, we have a lot of
sound to mix, and I cannot deprive you of this
Hunter Biden to sound much longer because it is just
so much fun as he tears apart the left and
a lot of it is actually right on target. But
I do also have to play this bite of Mike
Johnston saying that what we really need is to bring
(18:01):
the joy back, create more moments of joy, to bring
people back to the mall. What do you think that
joy might look like, Ryan? Would that be natural joy?
Would that be some sort of substance induced.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Joy opra free joy?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Because it's that substance induced stuff that sent them all
into this death spiral back when they legalize that stuff.
So I don't know, maybe you said print type of substance.
We'll find out together. Three three someone three eight two
five five the number techs d an five seven seven
three nine.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You're on the Dan Capliss Show.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
You're listening to the Dankaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
What about all those other people? Am I not supposed
to feel for someone? Am I going to be like
all these Democrats say you have to talk about and
realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration? How
do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do
you think you got food on your table? Who do
you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does
your garden? Who do you think is here by the.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Here?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Just grit in will that they've figured out a way
to get here because they thought that they could give theirselves.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
In their family a better chance.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
And he's somehow convinced all.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Of us that these people are in the criminals. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
So remember Joe Biden described Hunter as what the smartest
man he's ever known? Yeah, think about where this country
was at a year ago. Oh my goodness, Kamla just
declared remember that a year ago today? And I think
it was about the same time, about the same time
that Hunter Biden had started hanging around the White House
(19:52):
like in an advisory capacity. Wow, what a difference here
makes three or three seven one three two five five
the number text d an five seven seven three nine,
but not to say I told you so. But looking
back in it right very day that she entered the race,
told you the obvious.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
There was no way she was going to win.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And this would end up being a great development for
America because not only would President Trump win, which was
the medicine we needed, but the Left would then begin
to expose itself for what it really is, and that
means so much long term. Right, all right, let's dive
back in. I understand that eerie Mike had to go.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That's too bad.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
We look forward to those conversations. Hopefully he will hit
us back. Well, we're on a roll with Hunter. Can
we get a little more of that? This this bite
about Nancy Pelosi Cut two.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
He stumbles around in the beginning, but mainly I like
it for what Pelosi said to Jill Biden. It comes
toward the end of this clip, cut too please, and.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
You would have the speaker in emeritus that would say, well,
you know, I'm going to leave it up too, but
I don't know and uh and and they had already
made a decision. They clearly made a decision. And when
I say they, I'm I mean the speaker. And you know,
I heard Alexander Pelosi say something call my mother, like
(21:13):
put your big girl pants on to my mom or something,
and I kind of feel like saying, who the do
you think you are?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I will never speak about your mom that way.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I will never speak about your father that way. I
would never insult your parents that way.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, well picture that, Yeah, saying that to Joe Biden,
and I have no sympathy for Joe Biden there, right,
because Joe Biden was making it a point that she
was running the country. I mean people miss that because
the media didn't run with it because they were protecting Biden.
But she actually tweeted out from Air Force one, I
think they were heading over the G seven picture of
(21:47):
her sitting at Biden's desk reading briefing books.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So there's no sympathy for Jill Biden on the political front,
the personal front with the obvious tragedy. Obviously, Joe Biden
has not been competent for a very long time time
that I would never wish on anybody. Texter Dan, as
an employee of Denver I can tell you firsthand, the
Johnston's administration has no idea what that they're doing. They
tried changing the career service rules recently. The city is imploding.
(22:15):
That's a good question for folks. Do you think that
Denver will reach that tipping point, that point of implosion.
I don't think that it will. I think it's going
to be a continuing steady declay, decay and decline. And
will it ever get to the point where they elect
a Republican. No, but they're going to elect a Republican
(22:35):
by another name, just just to save itself. Three or
three seven one three A two five five takes d
an five seven seven three nine Dan agree, mayor Miikey
is lying as policies is lack of taking care of
Denver citizens and the city of Denver. How about those
uh FECI symbol roads? Is why revenues decrease? That from
(22:57):
our friend elects? Uh yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
What more could Johnston be doing to drive people out
of Denver, to drive businesses out of Denver? It's really
a tale of two cities right now. You have the
gleaming parts which are absolutely wonderful and I'd say thriving
and prospering, except that the lawlessness that Johnston.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And the left allow, you know, really undermining.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Those areas as well. And then Ryan something that just
doesn't get talked about enough. You know, you've got the reality,
and I'm trying to remember the source. It was legitimate,
the reality that depending upon what neighborhood you live in,
if you live in one of the poor neighborhoods, your
life expectancy is about ten years less.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Think about that.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, you know the great dei people on the left,
and under their policies, if you happen to be living
in one of those neighborhoods which are disproportionately of color,
you're going to have on average about ten years less
on this planet. Yeah, that's that's what leftist rule brings you,
says Dan. My Colorado idea is cracked in two pieces.
(24:03):
I need it replaced. I can't get a DMV appointment.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
For a month.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
How do I get immigrants status to get an ID
in a day or two? What a great question that is.
Let's go to the phone lines. Who does their friend
Kelly have first? That would be Chris and Loveland. You're
on the Dan Capitalist Show. Welcome Chris Hi.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
How are you doing today?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I am living the dream? How about you?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
I think I'm actually doing the same as American rooms.
As tough as the policies that we have to live
under here in Colorado, I still think, you know, you
keep your family close, keep the loved ones close. You
take care of yourself and take care of those around
you best you can. The American dream is still alive.
And well, it's just very hard to achieve at these
(24:46):
current interest rates.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Well we're still We're still here, Chris. Why are you
still a brother?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Amen? Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So why do you stay?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Well?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Mostly because I've got a great job and I've got
a beautiful family that's out here that I've married into
that that keeps them here because I want to be
I want my kids to be around my family.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
And and when our families became one, it was because
we are one family, you know. And I have a
lot of folks up and down the front range that
disagree with me rely now on in my family. Yeah,
but it's okay, like we can agree to disagree. And
(25:31):
I feel like some families have lost that ability, and
I hate it for them because it's become so toxic,
and how the rhetoric has become not necessarily from the
right or left, but like mostly from the left, but
also I feel the right creeping into the like you
(25:52):
speak too, how we can solve that well, soften our
own language, but also the same hot people accountable, like
killing babies, still killing babies.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, Chris, you have come to the right place for
that one, my friend, because I had cracked and that
is we just don't talk about it because I'm just.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Trying to live on planet Earth, right and like you,
but I've been married thirty one years.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Amazing, Like I'll tell you the truth. You know, I
don't mind, you know, being southern in Colorado, but like
how how my family and I handle things in western
North Carolina is different than how people handle things out here.
But they'll just look at each other and just not
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
In North Carolina or here.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Yeah, hezel, in North Carolina, we'll just we'll just call
each other out and then we'll argue about it until
somebody's exhausted and they figure out they're wrong, and then
they'll own it.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I'd love to hear from people on that, Chris, because
my perception is that here in Deep Luke, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Uh, it has become so polarized that if.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You're talking about in family setting, listen, in the rest
of the world, I think we have an obligation to
God to go out there and to speak the truth
and to try to change hearts and minds, stop bad things,
do good things in the broader world. But we're sitting
there with our family and we're sitting around a turkey
or some burghers or something else. I don't feel that's
(27:25):
the time to try to change hearts and minds.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Now exair, and that should be recognized. There's a time
and a place.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right and I may take people aside individually and just
try to have a heart to heart and explain how
I see it and why I think it's right.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
And how to you see it.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I've been fully ambushed out here. Yeah you should feel
this way, and I'm working on being Catholic, but like, yeah,
tell me more.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
But bless it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Blessed are the persecuted, right, I mean, every time somebody
attacks you for speaking the truth, you should feel like
the luckiest guy in the planet.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Oh absolutely, And I really I believe that in the
truest portion in my heart that if I am being persecuted,
then I am doing the right thing. I am poking
the right buttons. And I just want all your viewers
to know that, don't be scared, you know, don't be
scared of having faith. Don't be scared of being proud
(28:25):
of your religion. There's there's nothing wrong with being Christian
in the United States, and there's surely nothing wrong with
being Christian in northern Colorado, so anywhere. But you can
be okay. You know a lot of these really fancy
names survived the fires.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Oh yeah, in the earnest and man, i'd love your call.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I hope you call off up against a heartbreak and
they will throw us in the furnace here if I
don't hit this break, my friend. But thank you, Chris.
Hope you hear from you often. Three or three someone
three eight, two, five, five the number. Maybe you have
a better suggestion than the one I gave Chris, But truly,
when it comes to family and those family gatherings, yeah,
we've just been kind of politics off limits. You're on
(29:07):
the Dan Camplass Show.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
And the third really is moments of joy, Like we
will have to create incentives to lure you back down right.
The Fisher concert we had outdoors on sixteenth Street, first
time my sixteen year old son has begged me to
come to sixteenth Street.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That was a success for us.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
We'll keep doing those things outside fast, a lot of
those that invite people back, because we do think those
moments give you a new memory of Denver. Because a
lot of folks will say to me I don't come downtown.
I say when did you come the last time? And
they'll say twenty twenty And I say.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Okay, you got to get it till you get why
they don't have a good memory.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
I get why they don't have it.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I remember that too. I was working downtown every day
that I wasn't a good memory. So we got to
make new ones.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
We just say, can do things that are a little
hard to believe. First, they haven't been downtown since. Well,
I'll get to that, he said, Did he just say, Ryan?
Did he just say that? It brought him such joy
that his sixteen year old son wanted to go to
the sixteenth Street Mall, yeah. I would think that would
(30:10):
have to be one of the most alarming days in
any parent's life when their sixteen year old said they
want to go to the sixteenth Street mall, which.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Of course is now just sixteenth Street. That makes a
big difference.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, yeah, so that would alarm me greatly as a parent.
But to each his own and listened. I have no
doubt that Mike Johnston is a great dad and a
loving dad and all that good stuff. We're just having
a little bit of fun here. But he lies all
the time about so many different things. And what do
you think any sixteen year old would want to go
(30:44):
to the mall for?
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Well, you mean you could speculate.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
We know that despite in this interview with Kyle Clark
and he sits down, he says so many things that
are I think provably false. One of them is that
there are no more open drug markets in downtown Denver.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
I'm like, buddy, have you been to the Union station? Lord?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Oh, my lord? Which I'm trying to find that bite?
Which bite is that? Is that? Thirty? No? No, no, no, no, no, no,
no no, no, Let's do twenty eight. Please cut twenty eight.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
We know violent crime in Denver's dropping, yes, but you're
still having a hard time convincing people to come down,
especially to downtown Denver, and right, that's influenced by a
lot of things. There's memories of the pandemic era crime surge.
There is the way that local media fixates on crime.
There's also the thing that's happening now in conservative culture
where conservatives are trying to convince other conservatives that cities
(31:39):
are scary and that you shouldn't go to them. All
those things being what they are, how do you break
through that and convince people to come back to downtown Denver.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Yeah, so a couple of things. One are we still
think facts matter. So yes, the fact that the murder
rate is down fifty eight percent in Denver, that's the
biggest drop of any saying in the country. We're going
to keep saying that over and over because it's important
to know that. The second is respond of people's concerns.
This is why we created this dedicated downtown Denver police units.
So now we have ten officers on foot, we have
ten officers on motorcycles, ten officers on bikes, as officers
(32:09):
on horses, we really surge capacity. I walk sixteen three
a lot. I can't make it two blocks out seeing
an officer of some sort.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So we've done that.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Oh my lord, that's, in my opinion, one of the
most intellectually dishonest things I've ever heard. That the fear
people have of going to downtown Denver is generated by conservatives,
is falsely generated by conservatives' future.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That should be.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
An automatic disqualifier in the minds of anybody out there
who's just trying to figure out which journalists are are
fair and balanced, straight shooters. So let me get this straight.
First of all, how little do you have to think
of the people of Colorado. You've got to think the
people of Colorado are absolute rock dumb idiots to make
(32:59):
that statement, To make the statement that, oh, no, the
reason people aren't coming down here, that the reason people
are too afraid to come down here is they're being
fooled by conservatives. You've got to think those people who
you claim are being fooled by conservatives must be total idiots.
Know that they're responsible people from all walks of life
who make their own independent decisions about whether it's safe
(33:21):
enough or not to go to downtown Denver. And to
try to blame that on conservatives is such I think
intellectually dishonest chilling for the left. It's at least it's funny, right,
And oh, they throw these statistics out. Murders drop by
fifty eight percent.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Tell it to the flight attendant from Phoenix who almost
had her head cut off just trying to buy some candy.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
On the mall and she was one of.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Four people stabbed, right, multiple killed in the same short
period of time on the mall during this whole time
period when murders are going down by fifty eight percent.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Right. So the father we had on our show who
is grieving.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
The stabbing death of his young son on the mall,
he should he should take great comfort in the fact
that not as many people are being killed on the mall.
These lefties think we're idiots. They think everybody's idiots. It's yeah,
but it is. It is so very revealing and confirming there. Yeah,
you make that place safe, but you cannot make that
(34:23):
place safe under lefty rule, right, because lefty rule is
by definition, look at look at the loss are passing.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
It is pro criminal, it is anti victim.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
It is pro crime that there's and don't don't blame
that on the great men and women in blue.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
It's not their fault.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Johnston in the politicized police administration handcuffed their own officers. Yeah,
but he You lefties just keep telling yourselves that, and
all the reason people aren't coming is because you know,
conservatives are scaring them.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I know what what I think is going to start
scaring them very soon is you. You're on the DNCAP

What a pretty weekend and a warm, hot, dry week ahead.
So nothing better than summer in Colorado. Lots to dive
(00:24):
into that. The tough part is Cornercopia time. Right where
do you start?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Local? National?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I mean, Ryan, did you realize? I'm sure you did,
You're like the Wikipedia. Did you realize today is one
year since Kamala declared? Oh and wow, just think of
everything that happened in that year, and how could anybody
have doubted she was going to win when she opened
the campaign with that twerking who was at Megan thee Stallion,
(00:49):
you know, down in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And we only later.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Found out how much Meghan was paid to go gyrate
on that stage, but you just knew that was going
to register with America that day. So wow, a year
ago today, what a ride it has been. And again,
you know, I will always always owe this audience an
apology for having spoiled all the fun there, right, because
the day that she announced reminded people that Trump was.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Going to win.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
She wasn't going to win, just like Joe Biden was
never going to be the nominee. And we really sucked
a lot of the joy out of it. But the
good news is joy will soon be back because Denver
Mayor Mike Johnston says, the challenge now for Denver right
is just putting more joy back into the sixteenth Street mall.
But we can't call it that anymore, can we? We
(01:37):
just have to call it sixteenth because they paid that
consultant what one hundred grand to drop them all? How
much would you have charged him for that advice.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
To drop one word?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
A lot less than that.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, no, I've not that, just because you're a good
citizen to care about this community. So we'll have some
fun with that sound. And of course Hunter Biden unleashing today.
And the funny thing is, you know, some of what
he says is absolutely right on target, which we don't
get to say often about Hunter Biden. And best thing
(02:07):
is he apparently said it for free, which is a
real change, and so much more to cover today. I
do want to get into something we touched on last
week I care about very very very deeply, and that is,
you know, what happened to the only Catholic church in Gaza.
And when we talked last week, I had made the point,
you know, there's there's probably no greater defender of Israel
(02:30):
on air than me, and Israel is our great ally
and who has been a tremendous force for good and
combating evil in the world. And Israel, of course the
absolute victim in the horrific October seven attacks.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
But when we talked last week about.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gazam
and you know, the priest was injured, not seriously, unfortunately,
three parishioners there were killed and quite a bit of
damage done. You know, at that time, as we had
talked about, Israel said it was a stray munition. Well
over the weekend, and I take this very seriously. You know,
(03:12):
Publio came out and he said it was I'll quote
what he said. I want to express my profound sadness
regarding last Thursday's attack by the Israeli army on the
Catholic parish of Holy Family in Gaza City. And so
the Pope of the Vatican taking the position that this
was a direct attack, and taking that position after speaking
(03:34):
with Prime Mister Minister Netna, who called the Pope, which
I respect and appreciate as President Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Had called the Pope.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And so I just want to just have it on
the radar that the Vatican believes this was a direct attack,
not Israel attacking a Catholic church. Obviously that would not
happen in my opinion anyway. But you know, how did
this happen? And I think it's a very very important
that we get an answer, of course, that the Vatican
(04:03):
get an answer above all, and that the.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Truth be known. How could something like this happen?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So I just wanted to update you on that story,
because again I think that's very very important to get
to the bottom of three or three seven one three
A two five five the number.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Texts d A and five seven seven three nine. Of course,
we're going to spend some time today on the escalation of.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
The Trump administration's claims over the weekend that Barack Obama
had directly orchestrated this coup attempt, and I think I
was the first on air to refer to it as
a cop attempt while it was happening in real time
back in early twenty seventeen. But Trump administration, you know,
taking direct political aim and perhaps legal aim at Barack
(04:50):
Obama now to the point where over the weekend and
their creative team is very good. I mean, this was
high level AI. Whether you agree with the content or not.
But Ryan, I'm sure you saw that that the President
tweeted out this AI type generated video of Obama being
arrested in the Oval Office sitting next to President to Trump,
(05:13):
that's subtle about what do you think happened and where
he wants this to go.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, it was pretty convincing video too.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
If you're not well trained to spot AI, it's getting
better and better, and it just has the appearance that
they're both sitting in the Oval Office, President Trump and
President Obama, and then all.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Of a sudden, Obama's taken into custody.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
And the fact that you said, Dan, that President Trump
himself would repost that on true social tells you everything
you need.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
To know about how he feels on the matter.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, and I mean, who can blame him, right because
I said it at the time as it was happening.
It was a coup attempt so who could blame him?
Now the question becomes right, I mean, still have to
be a nation of laws, and DJ has to operate
within the law and everything has to work. You know,
we can't have this two tier system of justice as
(06:02):
the left has had. You know, We've got to operate
properly within the law. But there do appear to be
very very fair questions here. Now have I seen proof?
And I've tried to really study this and study everything
that the administration's put out on this, I haven't seen
what I could consider to be the kind of evidence
that would stand up in court proving any kind of
(06:25):
criminal offense against President Obama. And then you get into
statutal limitations issues. But let me give you just a
quick overview of my understanding of the timeline as it's
being put out by the administration and the heart of
the allegation against Barack Obama. And I would not be
yet all surprised if it was true. But here's in
(06:47):
a nutshell, what the administration is saying. Okay, you get
President Trump elected in November of sixteen, and then in
December seventh of sixteen, the claim is that the intelligence
community determined that foreign adversaries had not been using cyber
attacks to try to alter the outcome. I haven't of
(07:09):
the election. I have not seen the source documents on that.
But that's what the administration's saying. But here's the key,
and you'll hear this date a lot if this story
continues to unfold, as I suspect it will. Key date
December ninth, twenty sixteen, big meeting Clapper, Brennan, Lynch, lots of.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Others to discuss Russia.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So President Trump has been you know, the elections about
a month in the past. We're still waiting for the
inauguration in January. December nine, twenty sixteen, you get this
big meeting of intelligence community officials and others. They meet
to discuss Russia. And then right after this meeting, a
(07:57):
memo is issued that indicates that the president that Obama
asked the intelligence community leaders to detail quote the tools
Moscow used and action it took to influence the twenty
sixteen election. So this meeting and this memo are at
the heart of what the administration is pursuing right now.
(08:21):
The belief that Barack Obama stepped in around December nine
of twenty sixteen, and despite intelligence community assessments indicating that
Russia had not influenced the outcome of the election, that
Obama directed the intelligence community to get together and detail
the tools that Moscow used.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So that's the heart of the allegation.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But then, as you know, what followed from there was
a nightmare for this country, a nightmare for Trump. It
was a coup attempt. What followed then was in early
January of seventeen, you had some in the intelligence community
now latch onto this bogus Steele dossier as the basis
(09:06):
to do all sorts of horrible things to this nation
and to President Trump, including the Mueller investigation and all
the trauma that was inflicted on the nation, all the
harm to the President's agenda and as a result, to
America from that and so much more. So that's the
heart of the allegation. There are a lot of other
moving pieces, but that's the heart of the allegation. And
(09:28):
so I expect we're going to hear a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
More about this.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'd be a little surprised if Chelsea Gabbard would go
as far and President Trump wult go as far as
he did this weekend unless they felt they they had
the proof and they intended to pursue it to the end.
So we'll continue to follow that story. Three or three
someone three a two five five the number when we
come back. Kyle Clark tweets out, Hey, Mike Johnston's two
(09:53):
hundred and fifty million in the hole and that's about
what he.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Spent on his homeless program.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
And he connection, I'm paraphrasing the tweet fa loosely, but
when we come back, Mike Johnston responds to that, You're
on the Dan Capitla Show.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I was the hunted and now I'm the hunter. There's
a big difference, do yep, President Trump?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Right to the point three or three seven one three
eight two five five text d a N five seven
seven three nine And who can blame them? Right, as
long as they stays within the bounds of the law,
who can blame them? What happened to this nation then
was horrific, And I called it at the time. Some
people said, man, you're crazy to be calling this a
cool attempt. That's exactly what it was.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Legally, where the statute of limitations falls on potential charges
et cetera, whether the evidence rises to the level to
support those charges. All that, that's got to be done
by the book. But the need to investigate it is
very real and necessary for this country. You see, that's
the thing, right, You never want that stuff repeated. You
never want that stuff repeated. And so the people who
(11:03):
did wrong, they they have to be called out on it.
The law has to be fully enforced, equally enforced, properly
enforced so this stuff doesn't happen again. Now, Kyle Clark,
normally a friend of course to the left, Kyle had
tweeted this out about Mayor Mike Johnston.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Then for Mayor.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Mike Johnston is marking two years in office, steering down
a two hundred and fifty million budget gap, roughly the
amount he spent on his signature programs to assist migrants
and the homeless. He told me he does not wish
he had those dollars back.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I'm sure he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Does anybody think Mike Johnston has personally been affected in
any way?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But by slashing the.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Budget, by putting these people on furlough, cutting the police budget,
all of that, kids can't go to the rec center
they want to go to. You know, our intersections look
like worse than Third World. Is anybody think Johnston's been
affected personally by that?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I would doubt it very much. Cut twenty four place,
do you wish you had any of those dollars back?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I wish that I had the federal dollars back that
they promised us on immigration that we spent pending their reimbursement.
I definitely wish we had those back. I wouldn't take
back any of dollars we spent on homelessness. I think
when you look at the results that we've had on
that investment, it's historic, and we've dropped the homeless rate
more than another city in American history. That's a win.
So I think that investment's working. We'll keep doing it.
We want to find ways to make it better. I
(12:31):
think on the migrant crisis, we certainly didn't ask for it,
didn't go looking for it.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That was not on our priority list.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
But we also didn't want to see people freeze to
death from the streets of the city, so that was
a humanitarian crisis we had to step in. I wish
the federal government had come through on their promise to
reimburse us, but I wouldn't change our response.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh my goodness, have we ever had a more deceptive
elected official than Mike Johnston?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Let me open that up.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Three or three seven one three eight two five five
text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Homeless rate. We've had the biggest drop in America. Wait
a second. The homeless rate went up.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It went up predictably, right because when Mike Johnston promised,
you know, I'll allow the mayor of New York or
the guy who's about to be the mayor of New York, Hey,
we will get you home.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Just come to Denver, We'll get you home. What do
you think was going to happen?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Of course, the homeless rate was going to go up,
and that was documented recently. Now he's taken a bunch
of people off the streets. He's taken a bunch of
people off the streets by taking taxpayer dollars and by
housing a lot of people on the taxpayer dime, which
is unsustainable. So if you want to talk about taking
(13:40):
people off the streets at a cost that is literally
unsustainable for this city, i e. The two hundred and
fifty million dollar deficit that's causing all these cuts. Yeah,
he has quote accomplished that, but he has done.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
So much more harm than good, starting.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
With the people he's taken off the streets themselves. This
is a sugar high. This is a short term fix, right.
I mean, you're not talking about people now who are
being required to get help, to break the cycle, to
put them on the streets in the first place, in
order to get this housing. You're talking about people who
have simply been warehoused on the taxpayer dime so Mike
(14:21):
Johnston can claim a victory. So what's going to happen now?
Eventually that money is going to run out. It ran
out a long time ago, right, That's why we have
a deficit, and then those people are going to be
put back on the street. And it's going to be
worse than ever Why because a we're going to have
more than ever before, because the numbers have simply increased.
(14:42):
And then we're going to have a bunch of people
who haven't lived on the street for a long time
who are suddenly dumped.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Back on the street. And how do you think that's
going to go?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Whereas if you approach this in a humane way to
begin with, because these people are human, right, they're made
in the image and likeness of God. They've got to
be treated with that kind of human dignity. But that
doesn't mean hardworking taxpayers have to support them. It doesn't
mean hardworking taxpayers have to compromise their quality of life.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
No, what it means is you do.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Something smart, like I've been suggesting forever. You put the
word out we enforce our laws in Denver, and that
includes the homeless. We don't have a two tier justice system.
So if you come here and you disobey our laws,
you will lose your freedom right off the bat. Whole
bunch of homeless going to leave, a whole bunch of
homeless not going to come here. Then the ones who
(15:34):
violate the laws, you treat them, you maanly, and you
take away their freedom.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You put them in facilities where they can actually have
a chance to break this cycle.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So yeah, you're housing them, but they're losing their freedom,
and then they're hopefully making progress in there that gives
you a real chance to dent this cycle. What Johnston's
doing is just making it work three or three one, three, eight,
two five five. But the way he lies it's just
mind blowing. And then he says, Ryan, we didn't ask
(16:07):
for this migrant crisis.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
We aren't going to let people freeze to death on
the streets.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wait a second, Johnston is out there, the entire left
in Colorado is out there essentially recruiting illegal people to
come here, illegally illegal immigrants to come here. You know,
he's not opposing these laws. He backed sanctuary City. He's
not opposing these laws that are the strongest possible.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Magnet, Hey, come to Denver, Come to Colorado. You can
get your driver's.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
License and official government ID right away, right away.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You won't even get vetted. You won't get your criminal
history vetted.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
You get that driver's license right away, and you yourself
can use an ID to get it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
That's years old.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I mean, they have been in so many ways actively
recruiting people to come here illegally. So at what point, Ryan,
if any, do you think the people get wise?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Who will get wise that.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
The people of Denver get wise to Mike Johnston at
any he's term limited right now, they've got I mean,
he has another cycle? Is it eight or twelve years
in Denver for americ Can they go two or three cycles?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
It wasn't Hancock for twelve or no?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, I just don't know if it changed after that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I'll double check that during the break,
speaking of which I have word that Eerie Mike is alive,
and well that is a great relief to us because
we had not heard from Eerie for a long time.
Can you see if he can stay it ale after
the break, because we don't want to cut him short,
and I think we're just up against the break right now,
(17:40):
and when we come back, we have a lot of
sound to mix, and I cannot deprive you of this
Hunter Biden to sound much longer because it is just
so much fun as he tears apart the left and
a lot of it is actually right on target. But
I do also have to play this bite of Mike
Johnston saying that what we really need is to bring
(18:01):
the joy back, create more moments of joy, to bring
people back to the mall. What do you think that
joy might look like, Ryan? Would that be natural joy?
Would that be some sort of substance induced.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Joy opra free joy?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Because it's that substance induced stuff that sent them all
into this death spiral back when they legalize that stuff.
So I don't know, maybe you said print type of substance.
We'll find out together. Three three someone three eight two
five five the number techs d an five seven seven
three nine.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You're on the Dan Capliss Show.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
You're listening to the Dankaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
What about all those other people? Am I not supposed
to feel for someone? Am I going to be like
all these Democrats say you have to talk about and
realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration? How
do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do
you think you got food on your table? Who do
you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does
your garden? Who do you think is here by the.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Here?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Just grit in will that they've figured out a way
to get here because they thought that they could give theirselves.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
In their family a better chance.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
And he's somehow convinced all.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Of us that these people are in the criminals. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
So remember Joe Biden described Hunter as what the smartest
man he's ever known? Yeah, think about where this country
was at a year ago. Oh my goodness, Kamla just
declared remember that a year ago today? And I think
it was about the same time, about the same time
that Hunter Biden had started hanging around the White House
(19:52):
like in an advisory capacity. Wow, what a difference here
makes three or three seven one three two five five
the number text d an five seven seven three nine,
but not to say I told you so. But looking
back in it right very day that she entered the race,
told you the obvious.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
There was no way she was going to win.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And this would end up being a great development for
America because not only would President Trump win, which was
the medicine we needed, but the Left would then begin
to expose itself for what it really is, and that
means so much long term. Right, all right, let's dive
back in. I understand that eerie Mike had to go.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That's too bad.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
We look forward to those conversations. Hopefully he will hit
us back. Well, we're on a roll with Hunter. Can
we get a little more of that? This this bite
about Nancy Pelosi Cut two.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
He stumbles around in the beginning, but mainly I like
it for what Pelosi said to Jill Biden. It comes
toward the end of this clip, cut too please, and.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
You would have the speaker in emeritus that would say, well,
you know, I'm going to leave it up too, but
I don't know and uh and and they had already
made a decision. They clearly made a decision. And when
I say they, I'm I mean the speaker. And you know,
I heard Alexander Pelosi say something call my mother, like
(21:13):
put your big girl pants on to my mom or something,
and I kind of feel like saying, who the do
you think you are?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I will never speak about your mom that way.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I will never speak about your father that way. I
would never insult your parents that way.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, well picture that, Yeah, saying that to Joe Biden,
and I have no sympathy for Joe Biden there, right,
because Joe Biden was making it a point that she
was running the country. I mean people miss that because
the media didn't run with it because they were protecting Biden.
But she actually tweeted out from Air Force one, I
think they were heading over the G seven picture of
(21:47):
her sitting at Biden's desk reading briefing books.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So there's no sympathy for Jill Biden on the political front,
the personal front with the obvious tragedy. Obviously, Joe Biden
has not been competent for a very long time time
that I would never wish on anybody. Texter Dan, as
an employee of Denver I can tell you firsthand, the
Johnston's administration has no idea what that they're doing. They
tried changing the career service rules recently. The city is imploding.
(22:15):
That's a good question for folks. Do you think that
Denver will reach that tipping point, that point of implosion.
I don't think that it will. I think it's going
to be a continuing steady declay, decay and decline. And
will it ever get to the point where they elect
a Republican. No, but they're going to elect a Republican
(22:35):
by another name, just just to save itself. Three or
three seven one three A two five five takes d
an five seven seven three nine Dan agree, mayor Miikey
is lying as policies is lack of taking care of
Denver citizens and the city of Denver. How about those
uh FECI symbol roads? Is why revenues decrease? That from
(22:57):
our friend elects? Uh yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
What more could Johnston be doing to drive people out
of Denver, to drive businesses out of Denver? It's really
a tale of two cities right now. You have the
gleaming parts which are absolutely wonderful and I'd say thriving
and prospering, except that the lawlessness that Johnston.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And the left allow, you know, really undermining.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Those areas as well. And then Ryan something that just
doesn't get talked about enough. You know, you've got the reality,
and I'm trying to remember the source. It was legitimate,
the reality that depending upon what neighborhood you live in,
if you live in one of the poor neighborhoods, your
life expectancy is about ten years less.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Think about that.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, you know the great dei people on the left,
and under their policies, if you happen to be living
in one of those neighborhoods which are disproportionately of color,
you're going to have on average about ten years less
on this planet. Yeah, that's that's what leftist rule brings you,
says Dan. My Colorado idea is cracked in two pieces.
(24:03):
I need it replaced. I can't get a DMV appointment.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
For a month.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
How do I get immigrants status to get an ID
in a day or two? What a great question that is.
Let's go to the phone lines. Who does their friend
Kelly have first? That would be Chris and Loveland. You're
on the Dan Capitalist Show. Welcome Chris Hi.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
How are you doing today?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I am living the dream? How about you?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
I think I'm actually doing the same as American rooms.
As tough as the policies that we have to live
under here in Colorado, I still think, you know, you
keep your family close, keep the loved ones close. You
take care of yourself and take care of those around
you best you can. The American dream is still alive.
And well, it's just very hard to achieve at these
(24:46):
current interest rates.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Well we're still We're still here, Chris. Why are you
still a brother?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Amen? Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So why do you stay?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Well?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Mostly because I've got a great job and I've got
a beautiful family that's out here that I've married into
that that keeps them here because I want to be
I want my kids to be around my family.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
And and when our families became one, it was because
we are one family, you know. And I have a
lot of folks up and down the front range that
disagree with me rely now on in my family. Yeah,
but it's okay, like we can agree to disagree. And
(25:31):
I feel like some families have lost that ability, and
I hate it for them because it's become so toxic,
and how the rhetoric has become not necessarily from the
right or left, but like mostly from the left, but
also I feel the right creeping into the like you
(25:52):
speak too, how we can solve that well, soften our
own language, but also the same hot people accountable, like
killing babies, still killing babies.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, Chris, you have come to the right place for
that one, my friend, because I had cracked and that
is we just don't talk about it because I'm just.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Trying to live on planet Earth, right and like you,
but I've been married thirty one years.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Amazing, Like I'll tell you the truth. You know, I
don't mind, you know, being southern in Colorado, but like
how how my family and I handle things in western
North Carolina is different than how people handle things out here.
But they'll just look at each other and just not
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
In North Carolina or here.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Yeah, hezel, in North Carolina, we'll just we'll just call
each other out and then we'll argue about it until
somebody's exhausted and they figure out they're wrong, and then
they'll own it.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I'd love to hear from people on that, Chris, because
my perception is that here in Deep Luke, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Uh, it has become so polarized that if.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You're talking about in family setting, listen, in the rest
of the world, I think we have an obligation to
God to go out there and to speak the truth
and to try to change hearts and minds, stop bad things,
do good things in the broader world. But we're sitting
there with our family and we're sitting around a turkey
or some burghers or something else. I don't feel that's
(27:25):
the time to try to change hearts and minds.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Now exair, and that should be recognized. There's a time
and a place.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right and I may take people aside individually and just
try to have a heart to heart and explain how
I see it and why I think it's right.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
And how to you see it.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I've been fully ambushed out here. Yeah you should feel
this way, and I'm working on being Catholic, but like, yeah,
tell me more.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
But bless it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Blessed are the persecuted, right, I mean, every time somebody
attacks you for speaking the truth, you should feel like
the luckiest guy in the planet.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Oh absolutely, And I really I believe that in the
truest portion in my heart that if I am being persecuted,
then I am doing the right thing. I am poking
the right buttons. And I just want all your viewers
to know that, don't be scared, you know, don't be
scared of having faith. Don't be scared of being proud
(28:25):
of your religion. There's there's nothing wrong with being Christian
in the United States, and there's surely nothing wrong with
being Christian in northern Colorado, so anywhere. But you can
be okay. You know a lot of these really fancy
names survived the fires.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Oh yeah, in the earnest and man, i'd love your call.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I hope you call off up against a heartbreak and
they will throw us in the furnace here if I
don't hit this break, my friend. But thank you, Chris.
Hope you hear from you often. Three or three someone
three eight, two, five, five the number. Maybe you have
a better suggestion than the one I gave Chris, But truly,
when it comes to family and those family gatherings, yeah,
we've just been kind of politics off limits. You're on
(29:07):
the Dan Camplass Show.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
And the third really is moments of joy, Like we
will have to create incentives to lure you back down right.
The Fisher concert we had outdoors on sixteenth Street, first
time my sixteen year old son has begged me to
come to sixteenth Street.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That was a success for us.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
We'll keep doing those things outside fast, a lot of
those that invite people back, because we do think those
moments give you a new memory of Denver. Because a
lot of folks will say to me I don't come downtown.
I say when did you come the last time? And
they'll say twenty twenty And I say.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Okay, you got to get it till you get why
they don't have a good memory.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
I get why they don't have it.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I remember that too. I was working downtown every day
that I wasn't a good memory. So we got to
make new ones.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
We just say, can do things that are a little
hard to believe. First, they haven't been downtown since. Well,
I'll get to that, he said, Did he just say, Ryan?
Did he just say that? It brought him such joy
that his sixteen year old son wanted to go to
the sixteenth Street Mall, yeah. I would think that would
(30:10):
have to be one of the most alarming days in
any parent's life when their sixteen year old said they
want to go to the sixteenth Street mall, which.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Of course is now just sixteenth Street. That makes a
big difference.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, yeah, so that would alarm me greatly as a parent.
But to each his own and listened. I have no
doubt that Mike Johnston is a great dad and a
loving dad and all that good stuff. We're just having
a little bit of fun here. But he lies all
the time about so many different things. And what do
you think any sixteen year old would want to go
(30:44):
to the mall for?
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Well, you mean you could speculate.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
We know that despite in this interview with Kyle Clark
and he sits down, he says so many things that
are I think provably false. One of them is that
there are no more open drug markets in downtown Denver.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
I'm like, buddy, have you been to the Union station? Lord?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Oh, my lord? Which I'm trying to find that bite?
Which bite is that? Is that? Thirty? No? No, no, no, no, no, no,
no no, no, Let's do twenty eight. Please cut twenty eight.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
We know violent crime in Denver's dropping, yes, but you're
still having a hard time convincing people to come down,
especially to downtown Denver, and right, that's influenced by a
lot of things. There's memories of the pandemic era crime surge.
There is the way that local media fixates on crime.
There's also the thing that's happening now in conservative culture
where conservatives are trying to convince other conservatives that cities
(31:39):
are scary and that you shouldn't go to them. All
those things being what they are, how do you break
through that and convince people to come back to downtown Denver.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Yeah, so a couple of things. One are we still
think facts matter. So yes, the fact that the murder
rate is down fifty eight percent in Denver, that's the
biggest drop of any saying in the country. We're going
to keep saying that over and over because it's important
to know that. The second is respond of people's concerns.
This is why we created this dedicated downtown Denver police units.
So now we have ten officers on foot, we have
ten officers on motorcycles, ten officers on bikes, as officers
(32:09):
on horses, we really surge capacity. I walk sixteen three
a lot. I can't make it two blocks out seeing
an officer of some sort.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So we've done that.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Oh my lord, that's, in my opinion, one of the
most intellectually dishonest things I've ever heard. That the fear
people have of going to downtown Denver is generated by conservatives,
is falsely generated by conservatives' future.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That should be.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
An automatic disqualifier in the minds of anybody out there
who's just trying to figure out which journalists are are
fair and balanced, straight shooters. So let me get this straight.
First of all, how little do you have to think
of the people of Colorado. You've got to think the
people of Colorado are absolute rock dumb idiots to make
(32:59):
that statement, To make the statement that, oh, no, the
reason people aren't coming down here, that the reason people
are too afraid to come down here is they're being
fooled by conservatives. You've got to think those people who
you claim are being fooled by conservatives must be total idiots.
Know that they're responsible people from all walks of life
who make their own independent decisions about whether it's safe
(33:21):
enough or not to go to downtown Denver. And to
try to blame that on conservatives is such I think
intellectually dishonest chilling for the left. It's at least it's funny, right,
And oh, they throw these statistics out. Murders drop by
fifty eight percent.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Tell it to the flight attendant from Phoenix who almost
had her head cut off just trying to buy some candy.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
On the mall and she was one of.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Four people stabbed, right, multiple killed in the same short
period of time on the mall during this whole time
period when murders are going down by fifty eight percent.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Right. So the father we had on our show who
is grieving.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
The stabbing death of his young son on the mall,
he should he should take great comfort in the fact
that not as many people are being killed on the mall.
These lefties think we're idiots. They think everybody's idiots. It's yeah,
but it is. It is so very revealing and confirming there. Yeah,
you make that place safe, but you cannot make that
(34:23):
place safe under lefty rule, right, because lefty rule is
by definition, look at look at the loss are passing.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
It is pro criminal, it is anti victim.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
It is pro crime that there's and don't don't blame
that on the great men and women in blue.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
It's not their fault.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Johnston in the politicized police administration handcuffed their own officers. Yeah,
but he You lefties just keep telling yourselves that, and
all the reason people aren't coming is because you know,
conservatives are scaring them.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I know what what I think is going to start
scaring them very soon is you. You're on the DNCAP
