Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis 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. And I planned
to have a lot of fun today. I'm glad you're
here for it. Three oh three someone three eight two
five five the number text d A M five seven
(00:23):
seven three nine. And I think it's fair to say
the fun is back right since Trump one. I mean,
I know, for you, for me, for Ryan, for everyday,
We've always been having a lot of fun, right, So
we're just we're just having more fun now. So how
about we say more fun is back since Trump one?
So some really good ways to enjoy that today. Gabe
(00:44):
Evans is going to join us five point thirty six.
He is a congressman obviously from Colorado. Won that really
tough race up in CDA, and pretty good thing he did, right,
so we have a Republican House. But even better, he's
really good. And that is a cool thing right now
in Colorado because you look at these Republicans who've won
and they're really good. So that helps in so many
(01:07):
different ways, So it'd be great to have Gabe here
with us. At five three six, Jimmy SANGENBERGERL do a
drop sometimes soon because there's a big hearing in Federal
Court in Denver today. There's a superstar young federal judge
getting a lot of attention from around the country. His
name's Dan Dominico. He sits on the trial bench. And
as you know, when we talk about federal courts, a
(01:28):
lot of these stories you're hearing these days are from
the federal appellate level called the circuit circuit courts, Federal
Court of Appeals, etc. And then you have federal judges.
When you hear okay, federal judge did this or that,
they're normally talking about trial level judges. And normally somebody
becomes a judge anywhere really, but a judge in the
(01:49):
federal court system, a trial court judge.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Those are really.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Really impressive, high powered people, and Judge Dominico really standing out,
and he handed down an important ruling day in DPS
going after the Trump administration. So Jimmy Sangenberger at four
point thirty six, spoiler alert, I think you're gonna like
it at least I hope you like it, because if
you like it, it means you're thinking right about this stuff.
(02:14):
And I don't mean right versus left, I mean right
versus wrong. You can text us, Dan five seven, seven
thirty nine. First text. What's the price for that today, Ryan?
Ten thousand dollars. No, it's not not for me, that's
not In fact, you get nothing for that other than
the satisfaction of.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Writing it, and nothing like it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The shorter, Yeah, I can't tell you how many times
I've heard that the shorter the text is the better.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes, brevity is the soul of wit.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Oh, especially text, because you know we're whipping through these critters.
I mean, you know, so many of the great talk
show hosts these days, including you, Ryan, right, are pretty
much text only now right for pace of show. I'm
kind of a dinosaur when it comes to preferring calls.
But what percentage of the shows would you say these
days are our text only?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Mine, but that's not by choice. I know, Eric, who's
a very loyal listener, is awesome. He calls this show out.
He'd love to call my show. I would love Eric
to call my show. Yeah, but I don't have the
regular presence.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I don't have a me to you that would be
a oh you don't have a Ryan.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
No, well it's helpful, I think, Oh, my goodness, not
that regular person. So because I can't commit to that
on the regular item, Oh, we're taking calls today, but
not today.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And speaking of which, Ryan, yes, sir, that there are
some really deprived people in the world who do not have.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Their own Ryan.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I want to throw an idea out there today. Maybe
people could text some suggestions. I am such a lucky guy.
I just I'm a trial lawyer. I love trying cases.
I love my clients. It's it's just such a privilege
and a rush to go up there and be able
to try case. And I have literally I have seven
(03:55):
seven big trials upcoming, all of which are going none
of them are going to settle. And so as we've
been working on lining up some folks to uh to
sit in, you know, we're going to have the tremendous
talents that we normally do, and we're putting that schedule together.
But I'd like to add somebody new. So if you've
got an idea, somebody you think would just be a
(04:17):
great talk radio host, a great sub host, we'd like
to add somebody fresh to the lineup as I head
into this run of trials. And it's not like I'm
going to disappear for three months in a row here.
I mean, these trials are spread out between now and
the end of the year. But seven that are going.
So I got seven and.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You know, you never know that one time you've got
seven if you haven't.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
More that at any oh no, And you know the
reality of civil trial law, my friend, is that it
is so so hard to get to trial because in
civil right, if they end up paying your client fully,
that case isn't going to trial, right, And there are
some exceptions to that right, because there are some cases
we do which are just cases about public safety, public interest, etc.
(05:05):
Where you know, no matter what they offer, that case
is going to trial because the facts need to be
public and everybody needs to see it. And the client,
you know, sometimes the client walks in and says, Dan,
I don't care, I don't care what they offer, how
much they're going to pay. I want to go to trial.
I want this case tried. I want the public to
see everything. And so yeah, no matter what they offer,
(05:25):
sometimes those cases go to trial. For the most part though,
when the defendant has eventually forced the insurance company to
step up and pay fully, those cases will settle, right.
So so on the civil side, when you reach that
point where they're just going to pay you fully because
they know they're going to get pounded if they don't,
it's hard to get to trial, my friends. So this
(05:46):
is a real alignment of the stars that I am
just very grateful for that. Yeah, seven in a row,
so you can have you can have some really good
trial lawyers who get to trial once or twice a
year or maybe not even that. But so for a
guy like me, that's like you get to go do
seven Super Bowls in a row. So it's going to
(06:06):
be fascinating. Do you have any ideas, somebody, just because
we've got such a great lineup of star talent who's
going to be sitting in during those trials and everybody,
I think knows who those folks are if you listen
to this show and we're lining them up and and
grateful they're going to be.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Able to do it.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
An idea for somebody fresh and new, let's.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Brainstorm a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So I imagine the usual suspects would include Heidigan all Yes,
Christy Britton Brown, Yes, John Kelderrea is always a good
go to. Yeah, John c Icon, he is Independence Institute.
Can George Brockle or even do anyway?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I don't think he does, but I think he agreed
to do one day. I think he's going to do
the twenty fifth.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
That'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Is another one for Flora yea and for sure any
other one much talent.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, Kelly should do it. I would love that.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Seven tups you. He can't because of the Dea stuff.
I don't know he can't. He can't an I wanted
him to do it a while back. I think in
that job he Kennedy, Yeah, I got is one of
the first people.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I asked, damn dude, I got it. Yeah. Peter Boyles.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Happens to be at the different station, of which thanks
for reminded me, because I'm going to be on with
him tomorrow morning on his show, Okay, I think at
nine o'clock talking about this Columbine story. So yeah, no,
that that would be awesome, certainly, but I don't think
he can do that since he's on a different station.
I didn't know Dick Watdams is going to do a
(07:32):
show yeap or two.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Human lightning rod.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh no, but that's what you're after, right, yeah, not
these goofballs who come in and and just to get attention,
they'll set their hair on fire around naked like that
lady on the plane. You see that, the naked lady
on the plane. Oh man, they had to land the plane. Yeah,
I did see that viral. Yeah yeah, Oh my lord.
It just brought a flashback. Yeah. So oh, just this
(07:59):
time and college and you got you have to understand,
my friend. When I was in college, my first maybe
my first three full years, maybe the fourth, I fully
intended to go back to the seminary. So while I
would date and everything else, I was I was planning
to go back to the seminary. And so I just
had a flashback to I got up one day and
(08:20):
I walked into my shower and there's there's this naked
female who I did not know.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Would you like to know her?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
No? No, I was, I was head up to the seminary.
I was heading to the seminary. I I was in
college to get my college education on the wonderful event scholarship,
and I was going back to be a priest. That
was the plan at that point.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I think even God has a sense of humor, and
that might have been hell, you know, it'd have been
a test.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It was a back of a test, the back of
a test.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
My friend.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But I passed that. When there have been others I
have not, but I passed.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
That with our human Did I ever tell you?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And I got at this break and then we'll go
Kevin and Fort Morgan as a host suggestion, I ever
tell you the very first young lady I met on
the Sioux campus. Come out from the seminary, high school seminary,
come out to see you, and I'm crossing the street
onto campus my very first time, and I loved every
day up there. I ever tell you about the first
(09:17):
person I ever met, first female I ever met on
the Sioux campus.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I think I remember this one.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Was going to tell it again, tell that's always it
bears retelling. I get it because she bore all.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Beautiful, young apparent co ed with absolutely not a stitch on.
And I just remember crossing the street and thinking I'm
not in the seminary anymore. But yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Gott admire the confidence. Got admire her confidence.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh it was extraordinary, yeah, right, three seven, three eight,
two five five takes d a N five seven seven
three nine, And.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Now back to the Dan Kamplass Show podcast that TikTok chat.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I don't even know where to begin. I'm not sure
why this is necessary.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I mean, there is like serious stuff happening in this country,
but that seems to be just inviting ridicule.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, the Democrats, the gift that keep on giving, right,
they are just so totally off balance as they should be,
right because it's all falling apart from them as it
should three out three seven three eight two five five
The number text d an five seven seven three nine.
So we're talking about everything under the sun to day.
Oh sorry, we lost Kevin from Fort Morgan. I was
going to go there next. Because one of the things
(10:31):
we're kicking around is, you know, we have this kind
of star lineup of filling hosts when I'm in Troll
and I've got seven jury trials between now and the
end of the year that are certain to go, and
so we're looking to add another guest host. All our
usual superstars are on board and they're going to be
(10:52):
filling in, but we just wanted to add somebody fresh.
So we've been kicking around some ideas. Dan guests toast
the Colonel Cory. Oh nice, Yeah, excellent suggestion. I thought
for a second, what's that, Colonel Kurt Dale.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He's told him that's what we mean. Oh, I got confused.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That is a tremendous idea, Kurt Dale. If you're new
to the show, thanks for being here. But if you're
new this show, We've got this great regular caller, Colonel
Kurt and he's an American hero, military hero, and he's
you know, he's getting up there in years now, but
he he has some amazing stories to tell. When he
(11:37):
was the hero of the game at the Nuggets game
one night, that is the loudest I've ever heard that arena,
other than I think during the game where they won
the NBA championship and he came out there. He came
out there with this full Air Force uniform on it
and his walker. It was so cool. Dan, Peter Boyles
was on your show once, so he can do it again.
(11:58):
I love him forever, Donna, and that that's a very
popular suggestion. I'll ask Pete. I'm gonna be on his
show tomorrow just after nine am talking about this Columbine thing,
so I'll ask him if he's able to do this one,
So the colonel. Another suggestion for the colonel, doctor Brian
June depth filled in for someone once. Okay, that's a
(12:19):
good suggestion. Neighborhood, right, Yes, that's an excellent suggestion. I
think this maybe tongue in cheek here, Putin would be
a great guest toast. He could tell the truth instead
of the.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Lies you tell.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Thank God for Trump and Putin. I would sure like
to meet that texture I text because but you know,
I got to tell you and we all know it.
I actually met some true Satanists once, and I and
Putin to me is Satan on earth. So if there
are going to be some Satanists, then there are probably
(12:53):
some Putin lovers.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
How about Kelly filling in for you one of these days.
It's not the first vote for her, that would be
and it won't be the last. Yeah, that would be.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I would love for her to have that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Oh my goodness, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I don't know if she could keep it like under
r rated though, well you would have to.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
She's got salty language. You would have to keep her.
Let's go to Kevin and Fort Morgan, our prayers are answered.
You're on the Dan Kapla show. How you doing Kevin?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Good?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Are you guys doing this? I got it all?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Here, let me get my pen.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Yeah, write it down a Craig Craig Silverman.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Oh man, that is a great suggestion. Thank you for that.
Excellent suggestion. Yeah, Ryan, give Craig a call if you wish.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, excellent suggestion, Man, Thank you, my friend. Yeah, what
about hold on? What about ever hear that story? What
about Sheriff? Steve reams?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Oh, tremendous, just solid. Yeah, that is solid.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I would love for text him right now if he'd
be willing to do a show.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Nobody's listening, sape. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And you know what's always a little bit of a
challenge is if you're if you're actually guest hosting, then
you've got to get the mechanics down a little bit
in here. But that is obviously not rocket science. Since
I can do it and you would be here, you're
going to be here to help anybody about Yeah, please
see if the sheriff can do it, that's a great idea.
Here here's another chicken dinner winter winter, uh Dan for
(14:32):
a guest host called Wayne Logison at the Gazette in
Colorado Springs. That is a no blank and brainer. So
we will definitely, uh definitely invite Wayne dan suggestions, Jared Polist,
Mike Johnson, how do you think? And maybe I just
want I need to ask the folks we work for.
I need to ask the listeners. How would you feel
(14:53):
about that if we just had some lefty hosts the
show someday? Now, we've had lots of lefty Craig. I
brought Craig on the show, did a point counterpoint for years.
But to just have a lefty host the show herself
for himself, how do you think people would feel about that?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I think Jared Poulis is looking to get in that
arena much the same way that Governor Gavin Newsom has
done with this podcast, and maybe he'd do it. It'd
be hilarious, it'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I don't mean this disrespectfully, but who's going to listen
to Polis?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I think they get a lot of calls.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I bet now, who on the left could do a
show that people would listen to? Newsome? I think people
would listen to. Who in Colorado on the left would
people listen to? Boy, I know who they'd listen.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
To, Michael Betett.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
No, oh no, I but I bet people on the
I bet, and it wouldn't be conservative. Some conservatives would
remember Leslie Harrod because she had the courage to come
on the show as a guest when she had one
of the worst bills in Colorado history, which Polis made
his top priority, a bill that would have criminalized most
really serious crimes many I should say, very serious second crimes, violence, crimes,
(16:01):
et cetera, in public schools in Colorado. But I will
always credit her for being willing to come on the show,
and we had the back and forth. But she's she's
a smart, articulate, flamethrower type.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I bet she.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I bet she could succeed as a talk show host.
Another suggestion, Mark Major, Sure, hey, Mark could do any
show Mike Rosen, What.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
A great idea. I think that's an eight plus choice
as well.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Great.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I think he'd do it like a one off comeback
Randy Corporate.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh yeah, I bet we could get Mike to commit
and do a show.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I'd like to do a show with.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Him, right, But even if like this trial, it's taken
you away and just as like a plug and play.
Uh oh yeah, you of coming attractions like, yeah, that
he would come back and do a dual show with you.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yes, and you know what it'd be cool about rosen Is.
I bet we have a decent number of folks in
the audience who moved here after Mike left air. Mike Rosan,
if you're a nut, all this Mike Mike Crows and
iconic talk show host in Denver. He was on the
blow tourch eight fifty k a way forever, enormous audience. Yeah,
(17:09):
and filled in for Rush once or twice he did.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Be the pinnacle of his career.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh, I just thought of another one.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I thought of another one, John Fabrica toy. Yeah, that's
another John fab Fabbs. Yes, a lot of Randy corporate
votes there. Oh, dream show Craig and George co hosting.
You know, I would love to co host a show
with Craig again, at least once or twice. But did
(17:41):
I ever tell you a story how close we were to
putting that show back together. No, yeah, we got we
got on a Friday, We got within one corporate approval
of having that show back together. And then yeah, it
had a very very close did not happen. Unfortunately, that
(18:01):
would have been history.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
That would have been great butterfly effect.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, so if anybody has any suggestions, we have much
more to talk about today. There's a lot going on
in the world, as you might imagine, and at Denver
Institution changing its name. This isn't important, but I think
you're going to find it really interesting. You're on the
Dan Kapla.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I am not accustomed to helping your party do anything.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, but let me give you some advice. This was
the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And if you read the comments today, lord to have mercy.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Look, scrambling for.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
New social media and communications strategies is not a replacement
for fixing what's actually wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Don't be surprised if he's a future president. Scott Jennings
on CNN. And that's one thing about all this, right,
you get these guys and gals, they go out and
they do the media stuff and they get those communication skills,
because hey, it's just like you know, choosing a quarterback.
You know, the quarterback has to have three four different skills.
But unless you got the arm that's not going to
(19:07):
work out. And unless you got the communication skills all
the other stuff, yeah, you're never going to be that
effective or successful. So that's why you see these people
who who they have that and then they're able to
go parlay it into other stuff, and I think Jennings
is one of them. We'll get back to all of
our callers. One of the topics that we've woven in
today that's really taken off is just suggestions on a
(19:32):
great fill in hosts. I've got seven Jerry Trial's coming
up between now and the end of the year that
are certain to go, and we already have an all
star lineup. In fact, Jimmy Sangeberger's one of them, but
we want to add a couple of fresh faces. Speaking
of fresh faces, Jimmy, I have a feeling when they
bury you at one hundred and twenty, people are going
to say, what happened to this poor twelve year old? Right?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Have you aged a day in your life?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You're you're like frozen in time? What's that movie Benjamin Button?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
That is one of the things when I was younger,
my mom said, one day, Jimmy, it will pay off.
And I feel like in my thirties.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
It is oh I must yeah, because what do you
think you look like?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
What age?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Goodness, now on late twenties. Yeah, I would say I
finally look closer to my age, but I always keep
looking closer to my age.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It is.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It is a great skill, my friend. So, hey, thanks
for being down in a federal court today. This really impressive,
talked about young conservative trial Judge Dan Domenico. Folks about
the hearing today and the outcome.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yeah, so this is Denver Public Schools had challenged the
Department of Homeland Security in federal court, saying, Hey, this policy.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
That you have that is allowing for more latitude for
ICE to make arrests or engage in operations dealing with
illegal immigration enforcement at or near.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Schools, bus stops, these so called sensitive or protective locations,
we think that needs to go. That it's arbitrary and capricious,
and we want to better understand the reasoning behind this.
So Judge Domenico, please give us an injunction, a temporary
injunction or preliminary injunction to stop this in its tracks
(21:24):
and give us a chance to understand the reasoning for
why the administration was doing this. Now, This was changing
policy from twenty twenty one under Biden that basically said,
if you have an arrest to make or an operation
to undergo, you have to that is at or near school.
(21:46):
You have to go to headquarters in where DC or
wherever ICE headquarters is and get permission to do that. Basically,
what Trump is doing is saying no, Instead, We're going
to allow some latitude and discrete to the local offices
so that the field directors and the folks there can
make a determination on the ground if this is appropriate.
(22:08):
And to this point, Dan, now two plus months into
the or nearly two months rather into the Trump administration,
there has been no operation in a school, just one
that was within a mile of several schools in DPS
at an apartment complex. So that kind of set it
up for you a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Gotcha, gotcha? And obviously the administration has to have that option.
You can't be sending the message to people who have
committed other crimes that they can find safe space in
a school. So where did the court come down?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
So Judge Domenico specifically said, I think I'm going to
do what I don't normally do, which is issue a
ruling on the bench, so I can explain my thinking
a little bit more, and ultimately he concluded, after hearing
about half hour arguments from both DPS's lawyers and the
Department of Homeland Security two main conclusions. One, he thinks
(23:04):
that DPS is unlikely to show that they have standing
to challenge this particular change because of who the harms
actually affect. DPS was saying, hey, look, it's depressing attendance
because students are scared, families are scared that there might
be arrests on schools. And he's like, that's not going on,
(23:26):
and that's not.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Something that's a different sort of situation.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Then his second biggest thing is he says much of
the injury relied on here by DPS is speculative based
on fears of future actions, as the government argued, those
kinds of harms are typically not enough for this. He
was very wary of issuing what they were asking for,
which was.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
A nationwide injunction on this, saying, look, this just does
not meet the bars that is necessary legally, and also
the issue Jews that are involved here aren't really traceable
to the action that you're challenging.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, now, very solid and did Jimmy, appreciate the update
on that. You're going to write a column on it.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
I will from two Denver.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
We will be reading it. Thanks your time today, my friend.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
All right, Dan, and thanks for bringing some youth onto
the show.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Thanks jim you take care. I think Jimmy was referring
to me. It's someday we'll have to do a show
on that, because I do think one of the big
changes we've seen in life over the last twenty thirty
years is age is much much, much less relevant than
it used to be.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Part of that's medical advances, attitudes, you know, lifestyle, health stuff,
all that good stuff. But yeah, you get so many people,
you get so many of these seventy year olds, even
some eighty year olds who are more like fifty year olds.
And then you're still going to get the Joe Biden types, right,
who are eighty when they're fifty. But yeah, just much
less relevant. I mean, yeah eight five or zero five
(25:01):
A two five five takes d A N five seven
seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Got some updates please?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Both John Fabricatory and Sheriff Steve Reims say they are
all in their enthusiastic.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Good I am very glad to hear that. Another suggestion
Dan Gabe Evans. I don't think Gabe could do it,
because maybe he could, we'll ask him, but he would
be fantastic.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Could be with us at five thirty six.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
By the way, talk about his very very effective questioning
of Mayor Mike Johnston. You know, I I am really
that wrong. In fact, I kind of pride myself on
my batting average, but I was just dead wrong about
being unable to lay a glove on Mike Johnston in
this congressional hearing because of the format. I mean, as
(25:45):
I said over and over again, the questioners are going
to be really good, but the format is awful because
he don't have a judge to order the witness to
answer the question. The questioners only have five minutes. But boy,
we saw some questioners do really effective stuff, including Congressman Evans,
who joins us at five thirty six, and Congressoman Bobert
as well. I mean she she came right out of
(26:07):
the gate with penning Johnston down. And he always hides
behind these state laws. Oh we got to follow state Lowell,
will you join me in changing the state law? Hell no,
heck no, he said. I mean, some really effective stuff.
I personally, I was real impressed with the level of
preparation of the questioners, and I think they accomplished a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
So yeah, you know who didn't accomplish a lot?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Dan Hm, the law firm that was paid two million
dollars to prepare him for the questioning.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
As I suggested before. My own belief is I don't
think they're paid two million dollars to, you know, prepare
them for the questioning. My dearly departed Reggie are great
dead dog could have prepared him for the questioning. I
think they got paid the money to try to keep
their rear ends out of the ringers legally.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Did you hear Mayor Mike Johnston divulge why that always paid?
He said it was in case the Congressional Committee subpoena
documents from the Mayor's office and from the Denver City Council,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
So they need the legal represent to provide cover for them.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I don't believe that for a second. Personal that's what
he said, and maybe it's true, but I know, I
think what they're they're looking down the road. They saw
what happened with DOJ going after the State of New
York and the governor, and they are expecting DOJ to
come after the mayor and the city for the same
kind of sanctuary city policies in my constitutionally protected opinion.
(27:24):
So anyway, yeah, if you have any suggestions, I love that. Again,
we're blessed with this all star line and fulfilling host,
but we always try to add some new talent, and
Lord knows there's plenty out there.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I want me go back.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I do want to get into some of the other
important news today. President Trump going off on Russia. I
want to get that to you. And what do you
think he's teasing? Oh, speaking of teases, I blew it
in this segment, Ryan, why didn't you or Kelly throw
something at It's my fault. Yeah, you know at talk radio,
and when you tease something into a segment, you got
(27:58):
to deliver on it. And I even made a note
to myself and I blew it before we came into
this segment. I teased major Denver Institution has changed its name,
so I'll deliver on that.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Do you see that the Dumb Friends League has changed
its name? And my only question would be, what took
it so long? Denver Dumb's Friend Dumb Friends League. Maybe
I should be in there. I can't even say it.
Denver Dumb Friend's League, animal charity, change his name? Did
they have to put animal charity in the headline? Did
(28:32):
they really think somebody was going to think there was
a business or an organization Denver Dumb Friend's League that
was not an animal charity.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I think we all have some dumb friends, though, but
speak for yourself, my friend, and not my dumb friend,
my very smart friend. Dumb Friends League officially dumped its
century old name Friday, announcing it's rebranding as.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Humane Colorado. Humane Colorado. So I never did understand. Maybe
we can find the origin of the Denver Dumb Friends
League name to begin with. Never understood that because I
think we all know many many animals seem smarter than
a lot of people. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
That guy sounds sad.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
We was doing that.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Years ago, so see I could cure it in his voice,
and that is sad, so sad.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, the song was dumb, so.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Few during ads like thing. Yeah, because we just did
that story that it just changed the name. The name's
been around one hundred years Denver Dumb Friend's League, and
they've changed it to what did I say, Umane Colorado.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
That's original name Colorado.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
It's extremely original, and I was I was doing a
little research during the break and it looks like the
whole Dumb Friends League thing goes back one hundred years
to when animals were the dumb ment.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Mut Yeah, dumb, daff and mute. But I'm still a
dumb name.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
It's it's dumber now because isn't there going to create
massive confusion with the Humane Society, which is a totally
separate organization, right right.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
That's that's you're barking up the right track.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Oh there are you? Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It so, uh, Texter, I want to get to some
of these news stories too, But we had asked folks
if they had suggestions for, uh, some fill in hosts,
and we obviously have a superstar lineup and we'll be
involving all of those tremendous talents over the next few
months because I have I have seven jury trials between
now in the end of the year that at this
(30:38):
point appear all certain to go. So they are not
going to happen at once. The longest of those is
a three week trial that starts September second, but then
they're kind of spread out throughout the year. So we
just wanted to add a couple of fresh faces. And
we're getting some amazing suggestions thanks to Erica's suggestion Stephan Tubbs,
and believe me, I reached out to Stephan as soon
(31:01):
as he left competing station, but now that he's with
the DEA, he cannot do it.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Apparently.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Douglas County Sheriff a Weekly excellent suggestion as well. I
wanted to get to this news story and make a
suggestion on this a tweet from the President based on
the fact that Russia is absolutely quote pounding Ukraine on
the battlefield right now. I am strongly considering large scale
banking sanctions and tariffs on Russia until a cease fire
(31:30):
and final settlement agreement on peaces reach to Russia and
Ukraine get to the table right now before it's too late.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I think President Trump right now should absolutely hammer Russia
with sanctions, Absolutely hammer Russia. Clearly Russia is trying to
take advantage of the President being firm with Selenski right now,
and there was just a horrific bombardment in Ukraine today,
(31:57):
So I think the president needs to do that. I'm
glad to see that tweet, and I hope he does
do it.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I like seeing him talk tough to both sides, Dan,
and like you said.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Russia can't get too comfortable thinking he is like sympathetic
to their cause.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He wants the end of this war.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
And he said that he views himself as a mediator,
as and arbiter, as somebody that can kind of make
this whole thing come to an end.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Hammer Russia with sanctions make them hurt even more than
they already are, because they've lost a lot of men
in this war Russia has already.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, But obviously part of being satan for Putin is
he doesn't care how many He doesn't care how many
grieving mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers. He just
doesn't care because he's satan. And when we talk about
him er both sides. I get your point in terms
of a strategy to get peace, but I think it's
always worth remembering that these two sides are not equivalent.
(32:51):
One's an invader and one was invaded, you know, And
there's clear wrong and there's clear right. I'm not saying
Selenski or Ukraine are perfect. I think Selensky was horrific
in the Oval Office last week, and Trump was brilliant,
Fans was brilliant. Selensky did a grave to service to
his nation. But it is Putin who is evil. It
(33:14):
is Putin who invaded. But in terms of at this point, yeah,
Selensky having to understand that the US is not going
to pour unlimited amounts of money into what is an
unwinnable war unless Europe is willing to put boots on
the ground. If Europe is willing to put boots on
the ground to fight the war, then there's a chance
(33:36):
for Ukraine to win the war. If Europe isn't, then
there's no chance.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And at this point, Europe made it clear years ago
it would not put boots on the ground to fight
that war. And lord knows, there shouldn't be a single
American boot on the ground. So yeah, because Europe made
that decision not to support Ukraine in a way that
would have mattered, then yeah, that sealed the fate of this.
And Trump. Don't blame Trump, He's just trying to stop
(34:04):
the bloodshed and end it in the best way possible.
But yeah, he should absolutely hammer Russia right now for
these attacks today. Another tweet from the president quote Shalom
Hamas means hello and goodbye. You can choose release all
of the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all
of the dead bodies of the people you're murdered, or
it is over for you. Over All in caps only
(34:28):
sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick
and twisted. I am sending Israel everything it needs to
finish the job. Not a single Hamas member will be
safe if you don't do as I say. I have
just met with your former hostages, whose lives you have destroyed.
This is your last warning for the leadership. Now is
the time to leave Gaza while you still have a chance.
(34:50):
Also to the people of Gaza, a beautiful future awaits,
but not if you hold hostages. If you do, you
are dead. All in caps. Make a smart decision. Release
the hostages now, or there will be hell to pay later.
Donald Trump, President of the United States. I love that,
absolutely love that. Hey, when we come back, open lines,
(35:13):
a lot of ground to cover.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
In the five o'clock hour.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I do want to continue that conversation of the best
pizza in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
It is time to figure that one out and.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Get Gabe Evans, star young new congressman, will join us
at five thirty six. He's a great question to Mike
Johnston on The Dan Kapla Show
This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis 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. And I planned
to have a lot of fun today. I'm glad you're
here for it. Three oh three someone three eight two
five five the number text d A M five seven
(00:23):
seven three nine. And I think it's fair to say
the fun is back right since Trump one. I mean,
I know, for you, for me, for Ryan, for everyday,
We've always been having a lot of fun, right, So
we're just we're just having more fun now. So how
about we say more fun is back since Trump one?
So some really good ways to enjoy that today. Gabe
(00:44):
Evans is going to join us five point thirty six.
He is a congressman obviously from Colorado. Won that really
tough race up in CDA, and pretty good thing he did, right,
so we have a Republican House. But even better, he's
really good. And that is a cool thing right now
in Colorado because you look at these Republicans who've won
and they're really good. So that helps in so many
(01:07):
different ways, So it'd be great to have Gabe here
with us. At five three six, Jimmy SANGENBERGERL do a
drop sometimes soon because there's a big hearing in Federal
Court in Denver today. There's a superstar young federal judge
getting a lot of attention from around the country. His
name's Dan Dominico. He sits on the trial bench. And
as you know, when we talk about federal courts, a
(01:28):
lot of these stories you're hearing these days are from
the federal appellate level called the circuit circuit courts, Federal
Court of Appeals, etc. And then you have federal judges.
When you hear okay, federal judge did this or that,
they're normally talking about trial level judges. And normally somebody
becomes a judge anywhere really, but a judge in the
(01:49):
federal court system, a trial court judge.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Those are really.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Really impressive, high powered people, and Judge Dominico really standing out,
and he handed down an important ruling day in DPS
going after the Trump administration. So Jimmy Sangenberger at four
point thirty six, spoiler alert, I think you're gonna like
it at least I hope you like it, because if
you like it, it means you're thinking right about this stuff.
(02:14):
And I don't mean right versus left, I mean right
versus wrong. You can text us, Dan five seven, seven
thirty nine. First text. What's the price for that today, Ryan?
Ten thousand dollars. No, it's not not for me, that's
not In fact, you get nothing for that other than
the satisfaction of.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Writing it, and nothing like it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The shorter, Yeah, I can't tell you how many times
I've heard that the shorter the text is the better.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes, brevity is the soul of wit.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Oh, especially text, because you know we're whipping through these critters.
I mean, you know, so many of the great talk
show hosts these days, including you, Ryan, right, are pretty
much text only now right for pace of show. I'm
kind of a dinosaur when it comes to preferring calls.
But what percentage of the shows would you say these
days are our text only?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Mine, but that's not by choice. I know, Eric, who's
a very loyal listener, is awesome. He calls this show out.
He'd love to call my show. I would love Eric
to call my show. Yeah, but I don't have the
regular presence.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I don't have a me to you that would be
a oh you don't have a Ryan.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
No, well it's helpful, I think, Oh, my goodness, not
that regular person. So because I can't commit to that
on the regular item, Oh, we're taking calls today, but
not today.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And speaking of which, Ryan, yes, sir, that there are
some really deprived people in the world who do not have.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Their own Ryan.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I want to throw an idea out there today. Maybe
people could text some suggestions. I am such a lucky guy.
I just I'm a trial lawyer. I love trying cases.
I love my clients. It's it's just such a privilege
and a rush to go up there and be able
to try case. And I have literally I have seven
(03:55):
seven big trials upcoming, all of which are going none
of them are going to settle. And so as we've
been working on lining up some folks to uh to
sit in, you know, we're going to have the tremendous
talents that we normally do, and we're putting that schedule together.
But I'd like to add somebody new. So if you've
got an idea, somebody you think would just be a
(04:17):
great talk radio host, a great sub host, we'd like
to add somebody fresh to the lineup as I head
into this run of trials. And it's not like I'm
going to disappear for three months in a row here.
I mean, these trials are spread out between now and
the end of the year. But seven that are going.
So I got seven and.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You know, you never know that one time you've got
seven if you haven't.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
More that at any oh no, And you know the
reality of civil trial law, my friend, is that it
is so so hard to get to trial because in
civil right, if they end up paying your client fully,
that case isn't going to trial, right, And there are
some exceptions to that right, because there are some cases
we do which are just cases about public safety, public interest, etc.
(05:05):
Where you know, no matter what they offer, that case
is going to trial because the facts need to be
public and everybody needs to see it. And the client,
you know, sometimes the client walks in and says, Dan,
I don't care, I don't care what they offer, how
much they're going to pay. I want to go to trial.
I want this case tried. I want the public to
see everything. And so yeah, no matter what they offer,
(05:25):
sometimes those cases go to trial. For the most part though,
when the defendant has eventually forced the insurance company to
step up and pay fully, those cases will settle, right.
So so on the civil side, when you reach that
point where they're just going to pay you fully because
they know they're going to get pounded if they don't,
it's hard to get to trial, my friends. So this
(05:46):
is a real alignment of the stars that I am
just very grateful for that. Yeah, seven in a row,
so you can have you can have some really good
trial lawyers who get to trial once or twice a
year or maybe not even that. But so for a
guy like me, that's like you get to go do
seven Super Bowls in a row. So it's going to
(06:06):
be fascinating. Do you have any ideas, somebody, just because
we've got such a great lineup of star talent who's
going to be sitting in during those trials and everybody,
I think knows who those folks are if you listen
to this show and we're lining them up and and
grateful they're going to be.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Able to do it.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
An idea for somebody fresh and new, let's.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Brainstorm a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So I imagine the usual suspects would include Heidigan all Yes,
Christy Britton Brown, Yes, John Kelderrea is always a good
go to. Yeah, John c Icon, he is Independence Institute.
Can George Brockle or even do anyway?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I don't think he does, but I think he agreed
to do one day. I think he's going to do
the twenty fifth.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
That'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Is another one for Flora yea and for sure any
other one much talent.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, Kelly should do it. I would love that.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Seven tups you. He can't because of the Dea stuff.
I don't know he can't. He can't an I wanted
him to do it a while back. I think in
that job he Kennedy, Yeah, I got is one of
the first people.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I asked, damn dude, I got it. Yeah. Peter Boyles.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Happens to be at the different station, of which thanks
for reminded me, because I'm going to be on with
him tomorrow morning on his show, Okay, I think at
nine o'clock talking about this Columbine story. So yeah, no,
that that would be awesome, certainly, but I don't think
he can do that since he's on a different station.
I didn't know Dick Watdams is going to do a
(07:32):
show yeap or two.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Human lightning rod.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh no, but that's what you're after, right, yeah, not
these goofballs who come in and and just to get attention,
they'll set their hair on fire around naked like that
lady on the plane. You see that, the naked lady
on the plane. Oh man, they had to land the plane. Yeah,
I did see that viral. Yeah yeah, Oh my lord.
It just brought a flashback. Yeah. So oh, just this
(07:59):
time and college and you got you have to understand,
my friend. When I was in college, my first maybe
my first three full years, maybe the fourth, I fully
intended to go back to the seminary. So while I
would date and everything else, I was I was planning
to go back to the seminary. And so I just
had a flashback to I got up one day and
(08:20):
I walked into my shower and there's there's this naked
female who I did not know.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Would you like to know her?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
No? No, I was, I was head up to the seminary.
I was heading to the seminary. I I was in
college to get my college education on the wonderful event scholarship,
and I was going back to be a priest. That
was the plan at that point.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I think even God has a sense of humor, and
that might have been hell, you know, it'd have been
a test.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It was a back of a test, the back of
a test.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
My friend.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But I passed that. When there have been others I
have not, but I passed.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
That with our human Did I ever tell you?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And I got at this break and then we'll go
Kevin and Fort Morgan as a host suggestion, I ever
tell you the very first young lady I met on
the Sioux campus. Come out from the seminary, high school seminary,
come out to see you, and I'm crossing the street
onto campus my very first time, and I loved every
day up there. I ever tell you about the first
(09:17):
person I ever met, first female I ever met on
the Sioux campus.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I think I remember this one.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Was going to tell it again, tell that's always it
bears retelling. I get it because she bore all.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Beautiful, young apparent co ed with absolutely not a stitch on.
And I just remember crossing the street and thinking I'm
not in the seminary anymore. But yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Gott admire the confidence. Got admire her confidence.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh it was extraordinary, yeah, right, three seven, three eight,
two five five takes d a N five seven seven
three nine, And.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Now back to the Dan Kamplass Show podcast that TikTok chat.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I don't even know where to begin. I'm not sure
why this is necessary.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I mean, there is like serious stuff happening in this country,
but that seems to be just inviting ridicule.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, the Democrats, the gift that keep on giving, right,
they are just so totally off balance as they should be,
right because it's all falling apart from them as it
should three out three seven three eight two five five
The number text d an five seven seven three nine.
So we're talking about everything under the sun to day.
Oh sorry, we lost Kevin from Fort Morgan. I was
going to go there next. Because one of the things
(10:31):
we're kicking around is, you know, we have this kind
of star lineup of filling hosts when I'm in Troll
and I've got seven jury trials between now and the
end of the year that are certain to go, and
so we're looking to add another guest host. All our
usual superstars are on board and they're going to be
(10:52):
filling in, but we just wanted to add somebody fresh.
So we've been kicking around some ideas. Dan guests toast
the Colonel Cory. Oh nice, Yeah, excellent suggestion. I thought
for a second, what's that, Colonel Kurt Dale.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He's told him that's what we mean. Oh, I got confused.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That is a tremendous idea, Kurt Dale. If you're new
to the show, thanks for being here. But if you're
new this show, We've got this great regular caller, Colonel
Kurt and he's an American hero, military hero, and he's
you know, he's getting up there in years now, but
he he has some amazing stories to tell. When he
(11:37):
was the hero of the game at the Nuggets game
one night, that is the loudest I've ever heard that arena,
other than I think during the game where they won
the NBA championship and he came out there. He came
out there with this full Air Force uniform on it
and his walker. It was so cool. Dan, Peter Boyles
was on your show once, so he can do it again.
(11:58):
I love him forever, Donna, and that that's a very
popular suggestion. I'll ask Pete. I'm gonna be on his
show tomorrow just after nine am talking about this Columbine thing,
so I'll ask him if he's able to do this one,
So the colonel. Another suggestion for the colonel, doctor Brian
June depth filled in for someone once. Okay, that's a
(12:19):
good suggestion. Neighborhood, right, Yes, that's an excellent suggestion. I
think this maybe tongue in cheek here, Putin would be
a great guest toast. He could tell the truth instead
of the.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Lies you tell.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Thank God for Trump and Putin. I would sure like
to meet that texture I text because but you know,
I got to tell you and we all know it.
I actually met some true Satanists once, and I and
Putin to me is Satan on earth. So if there
are going to be some Satanists, then there are probably
(12:53):
some Putin lovers.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
How about Kelly filling in for you one of these days.
It's not the first vote for her, that would be
and it won't be the last. Yeah, that would be.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I would love for her to have that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Oh my goodness, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I don't know if she could keep it like under
r rated though, well you would have to.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
She's got salty language. You would have to keep her.
Let's go to Kevin and Fort Morgan, our prayers are answered.
You're on the Dan Kapla show. How you doing Kevin?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Good?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Are you guys doing this? I got it all?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Here, let me get my pen.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Yeah, write it down a Craig Craig Silverman.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Oh man, that is a great suggestion. Thank you for that.
Excellent suggestion. Yeah, Ryan, give Craig a call if you wish.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, excellent suggestion, Man, Thank you, my friend. Yeah, what
about hold on? What about ever hear that story? What
about Sheriff? Steve reams?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Oh, tremendous, just solid. Yeah, that is solid.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I would love for text him right now if he'd
be willing to do a show.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Nobody's listening, sape. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And you know what's always a little bit of a
challenge is if you're if you're actually guest hosting, then
you've got to get the mechanics down a little bit
in here. But that is obviously not rocket science. Since
I can do it and you would be here, you're
going to be here to help anybody about Yeah, please
see if the sheriff can do it, that's a great idea.
Here here's another chicken dinner winter winter, uh Dan for
(14:32):
a guest host called Wayne Logison at the Gazette in
Colorado Springs. That is a no blank and brainer. So
we will definitely, uh definitely invite Wayne dan suggestions, Jared Polist,
Mike Johnson, how do you think? And maybe I just
want I need to ask the folks we work for.
I need to ask the listeners. How would you feel
(14:53):
about that if we just had some lefty hosts the
show someday? Now, we've had lots of lefty Craig. I
brought Craig on the show, did a point counterpoint for years.
But to just have a lefty host the show herself
for himself, how do you think people would feel about that?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I think Jared Poulis is looking to get in that
arena much the same way that Governor Gavin Newsom has
done with this podcast, and maybe he'd do it. It'd
be hilarious, it'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I don't mean this disrespectfully, but who's going to listen
to Polis?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I think they get a lot of calls.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I bet now, who on the left could do a
show that people would listen to? Newsome? I think people
would listen to. Who in Colorado on the left would
people listen to? Boy, I know who they'd listen.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
To, Michael Betett.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
No, oh no, I but I bet people on the
I bet, and it wouldn't be conservative. Some conservatives would
remember Leslie Harrod because she had the courage to come
on the show as a guest when she had one
of the worst bills in Colorado history, which Polis made
his top priority, a bill that would have criminalized most
really serious crimes many I should say, very serious second crimes, violence, crimes,
(16:01):
et cetera, in public schools in Colorado. But I will
always credit her for being willing to come on the show,
and we had the back and forth. But she's she's
a smart, articulate, flamethrower type.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I bet she.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I bet she could succeed as a talk show host.
Another suggestion, Mark Major, Sure, hey, Mark could do any
show Mike Rosen, What.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
A great idea. I think that's an eight plus choice
as well.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Great.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I think he'd do it like a one off comeback
Randy Corporate.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh yeah, I bet we could get Mike to commit
and do a show.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I'd like to do a show with.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Him, right, But even if like this trial, it's taken
you away and just as like a plug and play.
Uh oh yeah, you of coming attractions like, yeah, that
he would come back and do a dual show with you.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yes, and you know what it'd be cool about rosen Is.
I bet we have a decent number of folks in
the audience who moved here after Mike left air. Mike Rosan,
if you're a nut, all this Mike Mike Crows and
iconic talk show host in Denver. He was on the
blow tourch eight fifty k a way forever, enormous audience. Yeah,
(17:09):
and filled in for Rush once or twice he did.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Be the pinnacle of his career.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh, I just thought of another one.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I thought of another one, John Fabrica toy. Yeah, that's
another John fab Fabbs. Yes, a lot of Randy corporate
votes there. Oh, dream show Craig and George co hosting.
You know, I would love to co host a show
with Craig again, at least once or twice. But did
(17:41):
I ever tell you a story how close we were to
putting that show back together. No, yeah, we got we
got on a Friday, We got within one corporate approval
of having that show back together. And then yeah, it
had a very very close did not happen. Unfortunately, that
(18:01):
would have been history.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
That would have been great butterfly effect.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, so if anybody has any suggestions, we have much
more to talk about today. There's a lot going on
in the world, as you might imagine, and at Denver
Institution changing its name. This isn't important, but I think
you're going to find it really interesting. You're on the
Dan Kapla.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I am not accustomed to helping your party do anything.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, but let me give you some advice. This was
the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And if you read the comments today, lord to have mercy.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Look, scrambling for.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
New social media and communications strategies is not a replacement
for fixing what's actually wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Don't be surprised if he's a future president. Scott Jennings
on CNN. And that's one thing about all this, right,
you get these guys and gals, they go out and
they do the media stuff and they get those communication skills,
because hey, it's just like you know, choosing a quarterback.
You know, the quarterback has to have three four different skills.
But unless you got the arm that's not going to
(19:07):
work out. And unless you got the communication skills all
the other stuff, yeah, you're never going to be that
effective or successful. So that's why you see these people
who who they have that and then they're able to
go parlay it into other stuff, and I think Jennings
is one of them. We'll get back to all of
our callers. One of the topics that we've woven in
today that's really taken off is just suggestions on a
(19:32):
great fill in hosts. I've got seven Jerry Trial's coming
up between now and the end of the year that
are certain to go, and we already have an all
star lineup. In fact, Jimmy Sangeberger's one of them, but
we want to add a couple of fresh faces. Speaking
of fresh faces, Jimmy, I have a feeling when they
bury you at one hundred and twenty, people are going
to say, what happened to this poor twelve year old? Right?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Have you aged a day in your life?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You're you're like frozen in time? What's that movie Benjamin Button?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
That is one of the things when I was younger,
my mom said, one day, Jimmy, it will pay off.
And I feel like in my thirties.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
It is oh I must yeah, because what do you
think you look like?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
What age?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Goodness, now on late twenties. Yeah, I would say I
finally look closer to my age, but I always keep
looking closer to my age.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It is.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It is a great skill, my friend. So, hey, thanks
for being down in a federal court today. This really impressive,
talked about young conservative trial Judge Dan Domenico. Folks about
the hearing today and the outcome.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yeah, so this is Denver Public Schools had challenged the
Department of Homeland Security in federal court, saying, Hey, this policy.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
That you have that is allowing for more latitude for
ICE to make arrests or engage in operations dealing with
illegal immigration enforcement at or near.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Schools, bus stops, these so called sensitive or protective locations,
we think that needs to go. That it's arbitrary and capricious,
and we want to better understand the reasoning behind this.
So Judge Domenico, please give us an injunction, a temporary
injunction or preliminary injunction to stop this in its tracks
(21:24):
and give us a chance to understand the reasoning for
why the administration was doing this. Now, This was changing
policy from twenty twenty one under Biden that basically said,
if you have an arrest to make or an operation
to undergo, you have to that is at or near school.
(21:46):
You have to go to headquarters in where DC or
wherever ICE headquarters is and get permission to do that. Basically,
what Trump is doing is saying no, Instead, We're going
to allow some latitude and discrete to the local offices
so that the field directors and the folks there can
make a determination on the ground if this is appropriate.
(22:08):
And to this point, Dan, now two plus months into
the or nearly two months rather into the Trump administration,
there has been no operation in a school, just one
that was within a mile of several schools in DPS
at an apartment complex. So that kind of set it
up for you a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Gotcha, gotcha? And obviously the administration has to have that option.
You can't be sending the message to people who have
committed other crimes that they can find safe space in
a school. So where did the court come down?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
So Judge Domenico specifically said, I think I'm going to
do what I don't normally do, which is issue a
ruling on the bench, so I can explain my thinking
a little bit more, and ultimately he concluded, after hearing
about half hour arguments from both DPS's lawyers and the
Department of Homeland Security two main conclusions. One, he thinks
(23:04):
that DPS is unlikely to show that they have standing
to challenge this particular change because of who the harms
actually affect. DPS was saying, hey, look, it's depressing attendance
because students are scared, families are scared that there might
be arrests on schools. And he's like, that's not going on,
(23:26):
and that's not.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Something that's a different sort of situation.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Then his second biggest thing is he says much of
the injury relied on here by DPS is speculative based
on fears of future actions, as the government argued, those
kinds of harms are typically not enough for this. He
was very wary of issuing what they were asking for,
which was.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
A nationwide injunction on this, saying, look, this just does
not meet the bars that is necessary legally, and also
the issue Jews that are involved here aren't really traceable
to the action that you're challenging.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, now, very solid and did Jimmy, appreciate the update
on that. You're going to write a column on it.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
I will from two Denver.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
We will be reading it. Thanks your time today, my friend.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
All right, Dan, and thanks for bringing some youth onto
the show.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Thanks jim you take care. I think Jimmy was referring
to me. It's someday we'll have to do a show
on that, because I do think one of the big
changes we've seen in life over the last twenty thirty
years is age is much much, much less relevant than
it used to be.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Part of that's medical advances, attitudes, you know, lifestyle, health stuff,
all that good stuff. But yeah, you get so many people,
you get so many of these seventy year olds, even
some eighty year olds who are more like fifty year olds.
And then you're still going to get the Joe Biden types, right,
who are eighty when they're fifty. But yeah, just much
less relevant. I mean, yeah eight five or zero five
(25:01):
A two five five takes d A N five seven
seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Got some updates please?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Both John Fabricatory and Sheriff Steve Reims say they are
all in their enthusiastic.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Good I am very glad to hear that. Another suggestion
Dan Gabe Evans. I don't think Gabe could do it,
because maybe he could, we'll ask him, but he would
be fantastic.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Could be with us at five thirty six.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
By the way, talk about his very very effective questioning
of Mayor Mike Johnston. You know, I I am really
that wrong. In fact, I kind of pride myself on
my batting average, but I was just dead wrong about
being unable to lay a glove on Mike Johnston in
this congressional hearing because of the format. I mean, as
(25:45):
I said over and over again, the questioners are going
to be really good, but the format is awful because
he don't have a judge to order the witness to
answer the question. The questioners only have five minutes. But boy,
we saw some questioners do really effective stuff, including Congressman Evans,
who joins us at five thirty six, and Congressoman Bobert
as well. I mean she she came right out of
(26:07):
the gate with penning Johnston down. And he always hides
behind these state laws. Oh we got to follow state Lowell,
will you join me in changing the state law? Hell no,
heck no, he said. I mean, some really effective stuff.
I personally, I was real impressed with the level of
preparation of the questioners, and I think they accomplished a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
So yeah, you know who didn't accomplish a lot?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Dan Hm, the law firm that was paid two million
dollars to prepare him for the questioning.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
As I suggested before. My own belief is I don't
think they're paid two million dollars to, you know, prepare
them for the questioning. My dearly departed Reggie are great
dead dog could have prepared him for the questioning. I
think they got paid the money to try to keep
their rear ends out of the ringers legally.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Did you hear Mayor Mike Johnston divulge why that always paid?
He said it was in case the Congressional Committee subpoena
documents from the Mayor's office and from the Denver City Council,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
So they need the legal represent to provide cover for them.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I don't believe that for a second. Personal that's what
he said, and maybe it's true, but I know, I
think what they're they're looking down the road. They saw
what happened with DOJ going after the State of New
York and the governor, and they are expecting DOJ to
come after the mayor and the city for the same
kind of sanctuary city policies in my constitutionally protected opinion.
(27:24):
So anyway, yeah, if you have any suggestions, I love that. Again,
we're blessed with this all star line and fulfilling host,
but we always try to add some new talent, and
Lord knows there's plenty out there.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I want me go back.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I do want to get into some of the other
important news today. President Trump going off on Russia. I
want to get that to you. And what do you
think he's teasing? Oh, speaking of teases, I blew it
in this segment, Ryan, why didn't you or Kelly throw
something at It's my fault. Yeah, you know at talk radio,
and when you tease something into a segment, you got
(27:58):
to deliver on it. And I even made a note
to myself and I blew it before we came into
this segment. I teased major Denver Institution has changed its name,
so I'll deliver on that.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Do you see that the Dumb Friends League has changed
its name? And my only question would be, what took
it so long? Denver Dumb's Friend Dumb Friends League. Maybe
I should be in there. I can't even say it.
Denver Dumb Friend's League, animal charity, change his name? Did
they have to put animal charity in the headline? Did
(28:32):
they really think somebody was going to think there was
a business or an organization Denver Dumb Friend's League that
was not an animal charity.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I think we all have some dumb friends, though, but
speak for yourself, my friend, and not my dumb friend,
my very smart friend. Dumb Friends League officially dumped its
century old name Friday, announcing it's rebranding as.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Humane Colorado. Humane Colorado. So I never did understand. Maybe
we can find the origin of the Denver Dumb Friends
League name to begin with. Never understood that because I
think we all know many many animals seem smarter than
a lot of people. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
That guy sounds sad.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
We was doing that.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Years ago, so see I could cure it in his voice,
and that is sad, so sad.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, the song was dumb, so.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Few during ads like thing. Yeah, because we just did
that story that it just changed the name. The name's
been around one hundred years Denver Dumb Friend's League, and
they've changed it to what did I say, Umane Colorado.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
That's original name Colorado.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
It's extremely original, and I was I was doing a
little research during the break and it looks like the
whole Dumb Friends League thing goes back one hundred years
to when animals were the dumb ment.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Mut Yeah, dumb, daff and mute. But I'm still a
dumb name.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
It's it's dumber now because isn't there going to create
massive confusion with the Humane Society, which is a totally
separate organization, right right.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
That's that's you're barking up the right track.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Oh there are you? Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It so, uh, Texter, I want to get to some
of these news stories too, But we had asked folks
if they had suggestions for, uh, some fill in hosts,
and we obviously have a superstar lineup and we'll be
involving all of those tremendous talents over the next few
months because I have I have seven jury trials between
now in the end of the year that at this
(30:38):
point appear all certain to go. So they are not
going to happen at once. The longest of those is
a three week trial that starts September second, but then
they're kind of spread out throughout the year. So we
just wanted to add a couple of fresh faces. And
we're getting some amazing suggestions thanks to Erica's suggestion Stephan Tubbs,
and believe me, I reached out to Stephan as soon
(31:01):
as he left competing station, but now that he's with
the DEA, he cannot do it.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Apparently.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Douglas County Sheriff a Weekly excellent suggestion as well. I
wanted to get to this news story and make a
suggestion on this a tweet from the President based on
the fact that Russia is absolutely quote pounding Ukraine on
the battlefield right now. I am strongly considering large scale
banking sanctions and tariffs on Russia until a cease fire
(31:30):
and final settlement agreement on peaces reach to Russia and
Ukraine get to the table right now before it's too late.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I think President Trump right now should absolutely hammer Russia
with sanctions, Absolutely hammer Russia. Clearly Russia is trying to
take advantage of the President being firm with Selenski right now,
and there was just a horrific bombardment in Ukraine today,
(31:57):
So I think the president needs to do that. I'm
glad to see that tweet, and I hope he does
do it.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I like seeing him talk tough to both sides, Dan,
and like you said.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Russia can't get too comfortable thinking he is like sympathetic
to their cause.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He wants the end of this war.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
And he said that he views himself as a mediator,
as and arbiter, as somebody that can kind of make
this whole thing come to an end.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Hammer Russia with sanctions make them hurt even more than
they already are, because they've lost a lot of men
in this war Russia has already.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, But obviously part of being satan for Putin is
he doesn't care how many He doesn't care how many
grieving mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers. He just
doesn't care because he's satan. And when we talk about
him er both sides. I get your point in terms
of a strategy to get peace, but I think it's
always worth remembering that these two sides are not equivalent.
(32:51):
One's an invader and one was invaded, you know, And
there's clear wrong and there's clear right. I'm not saying
Selenski or Ukraine are perfect. I think Selensky was horrific
in the Oval Office last week, and Trump was brilliant,
Fans was brilliant. Selensky did a grave to service to
his nation. But it is Putin who is evil. It
(33:14):
is Putin who invaded. But in terms of at this point, yeah,
Selensky having to understand that the US is not going
to pour unlimited amounts of money into what is an
unwinnable war unless Europe is willing to put boots on
the ground. If Europe is willing to put boots on
the ground to fight the war, then there's a chance
(33:36):
for Ukraine to win the war. If Europe isn't, then
there's no chance.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And at this point, Europe made it clear years ago
it would not put boots on the ground to fight
that war. And lord knows, there shouldn't be a single
American boot on the ground. So yeah, because Europe made
that decision not to support Ukraine in a way that
would have mattered, then yeah, that sealed the fate of this.
And Trump. Don't blame Trump, He's just trying to stop
(34:04):
the bloodshed and end it in the best way possible.
But yeah, he should absolutely hammer Russia right now for
these attacks today. Another tweet from the president quote Shalom
Hamas means hello and goodbye. You can choose release all
of the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all
of the dead bodies of the people you're murdered, or
it is over for you. Over All in caps only
(34:28):
sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick
and twisted. I am sending Israel everything it needs to
finish the job. Not a single Hamas member will be
safe if you don't do as I say. I have
just met with your former hostages, whose lives you have destroyed.
This is your last warning for the leadership. Now is
the time to leave Gaza while you still have a chance.
(34:50):
Also to the people of Gaza, a beautiful future awaits,
but not if you hold hostages. If you do, you
are dead. All in caps. Make a smart decision. Release
the hostages now, or there will be hell to pay later.
Donald Trump, President of the United States. I love that,
absolutely love that. Hey, when we come back, open lines,
(35:13):
a lot of ground to cover.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
In the five o'clock hour.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I do want to continue that conversation of the best
pizza in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
It is time to figure that one out and.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Get Gabe Evans, star young new congressman, will join us
at five thirty six. He's a great question to Mike
Johnston on The Dan Kapla Show
