Speaker 2 (00:14):
HeLa and Merton. Then Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
What a privilege have Michael in studio with us to
start the show today, the Situation with Michael Brown of
course each morning six to ten six point thirty kids
of w out of Denver, and Michael National of course
on the weekends with the Week with Michael Brown. But Michael,
I was listening as I always do to you as
I'm coming in this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It always makes me nervous when I find out, you know,
people that I know very well are listening.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It always makes you nervous, not surprised, but no, it's cool,
and I do every day. And I've been meaning all
week to just email you and say, man, you're on
fire on this, on that, etc. But today I finally
had to reach out. Okay, somebody, I've never been fired
in the middle of a segment. Is that what's going
on here for you? Somebody reaching and taking the microphone
away from me, Okay, that's Kelly who just replaced the
(01:01):
mic sock that goes over the mic.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They must think I'm contagious, but.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
No, those were actually much better marks.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yes, anyway, So I reached out to Michael as soon
as I got over to Snooze for breakfast and asked
if he join us today because I love the conversation
you were having on Juneteenth and your take on Juneteenth,
So thank.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You for being here.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Can you take the floor and just tell folks? I mean,
I'm sure there's a lot of crossover in the audience,
but for those who didn't hear you this morning, just
give me your take.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Well, the reason I decided to do it was because,
you know, this is a company holiday, and I'd gone
to you know, Tepper and said, hey, listen, I don't
want to take Thursday off. I want I want to work.
Can I move this holiday somewhere else? And then I thought,
but there's gonna be people are going to glat to
their mailbox and where's the mail or even I did it.
After talking about it, I called about my mother's debit
(01:52):
card and got the message, hey, we're not open the door.
I thought, what an idiot I am? Because I talked
about this all morning, and it was we have this
federal holiday that Joe Biden signed back in twenty twenty one.
And the whole idea, nobody really knows the genesis other
than oh, the slaves learned in Galveston, Texas that the
war was over and they'd been freed. Well, they had
(02:12):
actually been freed two or three years earlier, and post
George Floyd riots, and the I mean, the self avowed
Marxist who found a Black Lives Matter started with this
idea of June teenth, and that became a federal holiday.
And no one truly understands the history of June teenth,
and what when you look at it from a Marxist
(02:33):
point of view, what are they really trying to do?
And on a very broad basis, I'd say they're not necessarily.
I mean, I think way past our lifetimes, they may
think this, but in the near future it's to make
us think of Juneteenth, as in fact, they call it
Freedom Day. Well, when I think of Freedom Day, I
(02:54):
think of July fourth, seventeen seventy six, and certainly not
anything in sixteen, nineteen, ten seventy six. And the whole
thing about Juneteenth is it's peddling the idea that this
is Freedom Day and it's not, and even the facts
about Juneteenth are often misleading.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
No, And I thought that was such an important take,
just going back to you know, as you talked about
and you talked about on your show this morning Michael
Brown six to ten, six thirty kis W in the morning,
you talked about cultural Marxism and why this was an
important piece of that. So yeah, I just thought it'd
be great if we could dive into the history with
you because to me, and I really like this point
(03:33):
you're making this morning, anything that divides us is bad,
and one thing we should all be able to unite
around is the whole idea of Independence Day, right July fourth.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And I just thought that is so absolutely critical because
when I look at say Joe Biden, and you know
that that wing of the Democratic Party, which I guess
is the Democratic Party now, it seems that they're constantly
trying to divide us on the basis of race while
while actually holding back people of color, including African Americans,
in so many substantive ways. So it's like, I toss people,
(04:07):
you should be doing much more for a holiday and say, okay,
now you've got your own. You know the implication is
July Fourth's and that just divides.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
So let me ask, let me, let me play lawyer
with you for a moment. Did you hear it all
anything today? In all the coverage? Because I did a
quick search before I came here, just to see what
the top news story in Colorado was today. Now it's
all Juneteenth, really, And if you go I mean, if
you go on like any of the AI apps, or
you go onto Google, it's all Juneteenth. Juneteenth, not sing
(04:40):
not a single one of them, at least I could find.
And maybe out there I just didn't find it. Does
anybody talk about either the thirteenth Amendment or Abraham Lincoln?
So now who freed the slaves? Oh? Yeah, there was
that stupid thing if we thought it was emancipation something,
the emancipation Proclamation.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
A republican press, republican press, and.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
The thirteenth Amendment. If you've ever studied the history of
how all the political machinations that went together to pass
that amendment is fascinating. And so now this cultural Marxism
is what what what do Marx What do Marx and
Lennen want to do. They went to erase history so
(05:20):
we don't know our history, so that they can replace
it with whatever facts they want us to believe. And
so this is an attempt, I believe, to erase Abraham Lincoln,
the Emancipation Proclamation and of all amendments, the thirteenth Amendment
that abolished slavery, and make us think about, oh, it
had to do with a general that went to Galveston, Texas,
Texas and freed the slaves. Well, he did no such thing.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, And it seems to me that the origin of
this is not you know, African Americans of juneteenth. Maybe
I'm wrong on that. And my original reaction to the
holiday is, Okay, it's political moved by Biden.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
It really is originated as a black holiday. But it
originated as a black holiday in Galveston for the reason
that they were celebrating that. Oh we learned about the
Emancipation Proclamation.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well, educate me on that.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So it's a holiday that's been celebrated then in Texas
since maybe all the way back to eighteen sixty five.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I would say it goes back within the black community. Okay,
I'm kind of gimmerly speaking to eighteen sixty five, but
it's always been originally focused on it was celebrated that
was the day that the final group of slaves learned
that they were free, because you know, the General went
(06:37):
down issued Order number three or whatever it was, and said,
I'm with the Union, you know, army, and I'm here
to free you and to enforce the law in Texas. Right.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And it seems to me, hey, great, that's a beautiful
thing and positive thing to celebrate. Right, So I've got
no problem with that celebration. What fascinated me with with
with your recitation of history today is is, hey, was
this motive on a national level, the national two teenth?
Was that motivated by a group of folks then who
wanted to just divide us and draw attention away.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
From you know, Independence.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Day itself, et cetera, and these other motivations you're talking about,
you know, just sort of write Lincoln out of the history,
et cetera. So I just thought that was intriguing because honestly,
I'd never paid much attention to.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It, and most people don't.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, but well that's why you're there each morning from
six to ten.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
We don't know that's nice. Yeah, No, it bugged me
from the day that Biden signed it because when you
think about when he signed it, when what we know now,
did he really know he was signing it or not
signing all? And what was you see, there's so many
tentacles in this story. Yeah, so did he really know
what he was doing? But insofar as who was really
(07:51):
pushing this, it really was Calice Collures and the other
founders of Black Lives Matter, who again I emphasize I'm
not calling the marks. They call themselves Marxist, and they
have Marxist training, that's the that's their background. And so
it's that group that pushed it. And then when you
look at the timeline, it's just the year right after
(08:12):
all those mostly peaceful protests because of the death of
George Floyd.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, because when when Biden first did that, and didn't
they come together like very quickly, at least publicly. It
seemed to just get on the raidar and then be
a done deal, and they were rushing to give all
federal workers a day off. But when I first heard it,
the thing that ticked me off was, you know, here's
Biden and the Democratic Party, which I think screws African
Americans and other minorities every which way, right, and and
(08:38):
rather than giving them the kind of things you should
be given, like true opportunity through school choice, et cetera,
it's it's this insulting I'll toss your holiday kind of thing.
That's that's the thing that bugged me from the beginning. Right, Hey,
can you do another segment. I'd love to get your
take on all things important starting with Iran. So yeah,
great to have Michael Brown in studio with us, and
(09:00):
as you know, you can air him every morning six
to ten really anywhere on the iHeart app but out
of six thirty Kitchen W and Denver. And then he
does his national show on the weekends creatively entitled The
Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You're on the Dan Kepler Show.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
And now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Michael Brown kind enough to be with us.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He is dynamite in the morning, says you know, six
to ten, six thirty, Kitchen W Denver. Listen to him
anywhere in the world on the iHeart app and then
nationally the Weekend with Michael Brown. And so last segment,
we talked about Juneteenth because I'd heard Michael's take on
that on his show this morning. Thought it was fascinating
and you can pick it off the podcast. Michael, want
to get your take on Iran. Obviously you had a
(09:41):
chance to perceive the situation in Iran from the White
House and government.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
But as we sit here today, what do you think
is going to happen.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I think we're watching an amazing game of forty chess
being played while while Saudi and I forget maybe Cutter
Ua or somebody have made some very initial comments saying,
you know, shame when you Israel don't do this. Then
they just completely shut up. So they did what they
(10:13):
said they would do, they would make a comment, They've
been quiet. Trump went over there. There's no doubt in
my mind that when he and natan Ya, who met
before that trip, they had already talked about what was
going to take place. And I think that the Saudi's UAE,
the Emirates Kuwait, I think they're all behind Israel. They
(10:35):
just can't say anything practically because they the mollahs Iatola
Komene is as much a threat to those Muslim countries
as he is to the Jewish state, and they want
this taken care of.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Good point, you were talking on affair about the day after.
Whatever the scenario is, the day after, what do you
see coming there?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That's the scary part. I don't know. And I go
back to my days after nine to eleven with the
Iraq war, in the Afghanistan war, which I think we
truthfully we totally botched because we didn't have a day
one plan. And so let's say that we eliminate the
(11:18):
nuke threat, we eliminate Ayatola Komene, the Molas are deposed,
what's next because there are other Malitias, there are other
radical groups now. The Persian people, the Uranian people themselves,
I think do want freedom. They have a great cultural
history of freedom and great civilization and everything. But do
(11:39):
we know of anyone that can rise up and be
a leader. I don't know. I don't know that there's
a day one plan, right. That's what scares me.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So how do you want to see this ending?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Well? I want to see the nuclear program ended. I
want that. I do believe it's a threat. I'd love
to see the Mola's gone, and I would love to
see some sort and I maybe there is, even though
I still have my clearances. I don't get the briefings
anymore that I used to get. So I don't know
all the details, but I would hope. I would hope
(12:12):
that we have operatives or that Massad has operatives that
are in country now, that if say the Ayatola is
taken out, that there is automatically someone that can step
to a microphone and say, here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Massade has been so effective. It might be somebody from Masada.
They're like magicians.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
They may have already improved somebody. For all we know,
we may have some you know, uh, you know Iranian
that is part of some group that's ready a business
mammy who knows who it might be?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Can you imagine how wired they have to be to
be able to get all of those top military commanders
into the same bunker at the same time so they
can kill them all?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
No, oh my lord, it's we've learned in this country
not not to answer our pages. Yeah, and if we're
astigating on a zoom callers, I think in particular time,
question it crazy. Get them all together. They're unbelievable, unbelievably good.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, it your take on President Trump right now?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It my take is, and I sense yours is from
listening to you in the mornings that at this point
he is he is committed to ending that nuclear program
and if Israel can't do it on its own, despite
the magnificent work it's done, that he will end it.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I think he will. I think he's actually made the decision.
I think that's why he came back. I think he
came back from the G seven early for two reasons.
One because he really did the need to make the decision,
and he didn't deal with Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, so yeah, you know, it's it was a.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Twofer for him. But I just know from personal experience,
when the president comes back from a meeting, or the
President says, I went the National Security team, uh, in
the situation room, those are decision days.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And I've always wondered the situation with Michael Brown your
morning show out of the Denver Market. Is that after
the situation room? Is that what inspired it? O?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yes, so careful because of wolf Blitzer, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, I'd handle that case for you.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But thank you, you're far better than it goes without
saying my last question for you, And thanks for the
time today, really, and I'm glad we can do this
a lot, But what does the situation room look like like?
You've been in the White House, You've been in all
these places, you know, we just see it in movies,
et cetera. Describe what probably is really going on in there.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's one of the most intriguing places, I think, other
than some of the undisclosed locations that I've been in,
it's probably one of the most intriguing places because it's
when when the team is there, the President sitting at
the head of the table, Secretary of State or the
Vice President is to his right, Secretary of Defense is
(14:48):
who has left, and then the team is sits down
this long conference room conference table, and then people like me,
depending on who's in the room, I might be either
at the table or sitting against the wall. And then
there are television screens all around the room, and those
are all what we call secure pipes, and the president
can tell the op center in the Pentagon or Langley,
(15:11):
I want to talk to so and so securely in Islamabad.
And suddenly you're talking to a guy that you can't
tell where he is in some little closet talking to
you from Islamabad on a secure line, telling you here's
what's happening on the ground. It is absolutely intriguing what
goes on in that room. And you know that that
(15:34):
is the center of power in the material universe that
we live in.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, yeah, no, and thank god it's in America and.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Not somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, grateful for the time today, my friends. Yeah,
I really appreciate that. Hope you can do it often.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So let me just say to you, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Oh every day, every day. It's a selfish act on
my part. I'm learning stuff. That was the old line
about Russian Lambas show, Right, he'd always come on and say, hey,
everybody doing.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Your show prep. So no, it's part of my show
prep to listen to you each day.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Get that down.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Okay, that is a problem I.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Need is a good promo.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But well, good, No, look forward to doing this a
bunch on a wide range of topics. Because one of
the things to me, when I choose a radio show
to listen to or some TV show or whatever, I'm
just looking for value added. You know, I want to
come out of that show. We always want to be entertained, right,
and you certainly do that, But I want to come
out of that show knowing more right, right, and I
(16:33):
always do want to listen to you. Wow, Yeah, you
just got your renaissance today. Christmas has so much stuff
I need to Yeah, pull up.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
For the Dan Capitalist promo spot that I do.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Let me do right now.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Fifty five fifty one.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I know that is impressive. Is get this guy on
more often? No, that's awesome. Well, thank you again, really.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Do appreciate any Okay, I'll be there tomorrow morning. Yeah,
six to ten each morning out of six point thirty
Kitsch at w denvery you can get Michael obviously anywhere
in the world on the iHeart app and then nationally
over here.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
On the weekends.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
The weekend with Michael Brown's so anxious to get your
taken all this. Abbie Johnson's going to join us out
of the break as well. And we do want to
follow up on something mikel and I were talking about
off air, which is this latest polling in the Democrat
primary that has been way ahead of Wiser, but more
importantly how.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That ties into what may be going on on the
GOP side.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I got to tell you something, Ryan, who was that
texter yesterday who suggested Gabe Evans for governor. I was
at a thanks again, Michael, thank you. I was at
a Gabe Evans fundraiser last night. And I don't go
to many of these fundraiser things. I just think, you know,
Gabe is really special as seats really special. I mean that,
you know, one of the key swing seats in America.
(17:54):
But he's always been good, but I was blown away.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He is so good, so good, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And yeah, you know, but he's committed to his run
for Congress, Don't get me wrong, that was clear last night.
I just think he would be a very very good
candidate for governor. Three or three someone three eight, two
five five the number tags a d an five seven, seven,
three nine.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I'm sure Mike Johnston. Mike Johnson would not want to
hear that.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
This Johnston thing is in my head, right, the mayyor
of Denver, who's blanked the pooch so badly here in Denver.
And we'll be talking more about that because there was
an interesting piece in the Post. I want to get
to with you at some point today that talked about
how so many people are off the streets but the
challenges that's posing.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, like you can't pay for it.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You can't tell everybody in the world come to Denver,
We'll get you a home, which he did literally then
brag about taking him off the streets. When you're bankrupting
the city by paying the hotel bill.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
For everybody every night you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
As the city struggles to deal with the projected two
hundred and fifty million dollar budget deficit. And we have
got to talk about this somewhere, right and posted a
good article on it today.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, fewer people on the streets.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
But how's Denver gonna pay for which we've been talking
about from the beginning. Denver can't can't possibly afford it.
And I think Grian you were pointing out on your
fine show each afternoon two to four before this one that, yeah,
Johnston's spending about what two hundred and forty million a
year probably in different homeless programs, and obviously there's these
big popsis spending to you know, just pay for these
(19:37):
hotel rooms and other you know, temporary housing for the
homeless like that every single night, right, Denver just can't
afford it.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Denver now has this what they're projecting.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Eight.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
This is a stunning coincidence, right, aren't they projecting about
a two hundred and forty million dollar budget deficit? So
just can't afford it. And Johnston knows that but doesn't
concern him, right because he figures they'll be out of here,
rising up the ranks to whatever's next before Denver crashes.
And what's frustrating about it three h three someone three
(20:09):
A two five five the number text d an five
seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
What's so frustrating about.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It is that there is such an easy, clear fix,
and and yet the Left isn't willing to go there
because it doesn't serve their agenda as well. But there's
such an easy clear fix to this, this entire homeless problem.
And I'm not talking about silver bullet all goes way,
that's not real life, but a whole heck of a
(20:35):
lot better than what Johnston and the Left are doing now,
because you could spend much, much, much less money and
get the same number of homeless people off the street,
but also have a real chance to break the cycle
for them and to have them not be on the
city dime the rest of their life and have them
get a quality life back if you simply say and
(20:59):
put the word out far and wide, we're enforcing the
law in Denver. If you come to Denver and you
want to live on our streets, you're probably going to
lose your freedom right off the bat. Most people here
who want to live on the streets leave, and most
people don't come here because common denominator, they don't want
to lose their freedom.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But instead of then putting them in.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
A typical jail cell for the various infractions that would
cause them to lose their freedom, you know, you put
them in far less expensive, customized housing than what's happening now.
You know, paying hotels, etc. Nightly rates and all of that.
But you put them into facilities where they are not
free to come and go.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
They are being detained.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Because they violated our laws, and we're going to apply
our laws equally. But they're in places where they're off
our streets. But there's also help available, and so there's
at least some real chance of breaking that cycle. But
what Johnston's doing now is obviously it's suicidal for the city.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
The city can't afforded.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You've got all these people being furloughed, all these other
program cuts right because the city doesn't have enough money,
and it's it's bad for the people being taken off
the street as well. I mean on a night when
it's so cold it might kill you. Yeah, it's better
to be off the street. But otherwise it's just warehousing
them and perpetuating the underlying problems. Three all three someone
three eight two five five the number text d an
(22:23):
five seven seven three nine. So we're going to have
our friend Debbie Johnson, we expect at some point in
the show. Michael Brown joined us for the first two segments,
which are grateful for and you can pick it off
the podcast and Texters Dan, people who worked for the
city for twenty five years will be laid off shortly
before their pensions are vested. Dan, there was a city
(22:44):
meeting last night about laying off people in Denver government.
A critical position such as nine to one one, it
goes on from there. Hey, let's talk about that, right
And have you called nine to one one recently?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I mean, thank god, no, I have.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And for me it's normally when I'm on the highway
or something like that, and there's something really dangerous and
just the nature of my job where I do these
catastrophic cases. I just you know, I just try to
be alert to stuff that could really get somebody killed.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
So, you know, I'll call nine one one.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Sometimes it'll be for one of these, you know, truly
reckless drivers going one hundred miles an hour down the
road in and out of traffic type stuff. But very
often now, and it's not the fault of the men
and women who man dispatch, but it's the fault of
the politicians. Very often you call nine one one in
Denver and you're put on hold for a long time,
and I'm thinking, oh, my lord, what if it was
(23:34):
a true, okay right now kind of crisis.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, what happens then?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
But hey, Mike Johnston gets to say he's getting more
homeless off the street, even though he's doing them a
disservice in the process.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Abby is kind enough to join us, You know, Abby
very well.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Abbie Johnson, who's one of the great heroes of the
pro life movement nationwide, used to be a Planned Parenthood
clinic director, and she joins us today to talk in
part about President Trump's Doge Subcommittee investigation of planned parenthood.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Have you welcome back to the DAN Kaplis Show.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Hello, thank you for having me Dan.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Well appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Hey, yeah, what what is up with this investigation? And
do you think the administration is fully committed to getting there?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I don't know, you know, Margine Taylor Green is one
of the people really heading this up. I do crusted her.
You know, she could be a little wild at times,
but well yeah, that's right, me too, But I do
she is very very pro life. She's very committed to
(24:41):
rooting out abortion funding from uh you know, our federal budget,
from you know, getting planned parenthood, uh you know, away
from hids, from you know, removing them from any sort
of funding programs that we may be paying for, particularly
(25:01):
at the federal level. So uh, you know, I I
do feel confident that she is taking the part very seriously,
that she and her congressional peers that that are around her,
they're kind of surrounding her in this are taking it seriously.
(25:22):
I know, Marjorie Tayler Green uh wants to as much
as anybody wants to rid planned parenthood from from our
society and and close them down and get them away
from our children and vulnerable populations. So I think, you know,
I think this is good and that it just seems like,
(25:46):
you know, Dan, there's always someone.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
You know, we get close to getting rid of plant parents,
we get close to the funding Planned parenthood, we get
so close, and it seems like there's always someone and
in the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask you about. Why
hasn't that happened yet?
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Yeah, it just seems like there's always someone, some group
of people that swamps in and saves Planned Parenthood, you know,
at the last minute. And and they're they're people that
are supposed to be committed to the things that we
believe in. Yeah, and uh, it's really frustrating. You know,
(26:27):
these are people that we have got to get out
of office just because you know, they say just because
someone says they are Republican does not mean they have
the same values as we do. And we've got to
really be careful in primaries. You know, who are we
putting into these places of office? Who are we voting for.
(26:50):
We've really got to start paying attention to that as
as voters.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Well, i'd appreciate the update from you. How can people
best follow you? I know you're on a number of
different sites, So.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
My website if people want to just follow, you know,
find out about me. My podcast Ministry is kind of
what's going on with me. It's Abby, Abby J dot com,
ABBYJ dot com.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Well, appreciate all your great work and the time today.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Thank you, Abby, of course, thanks so much.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Dan, you take care.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Of that is the great Abbie Johnson three or three
someone three eight, two, five, five the numbers, So lots
of head this afternoon. Anything you want to jump in
on will We'll update you on the the war in
Iran when we get back and the President's latest on that.
Michael Brown was kind of enough to join us earlier
and I completely agree with his take and we've been
talking about it on the show, right, I mean, President
(27:42):
Trump at this point, he's all in, fully committed that
nuclear weapons program is going to end in Iran. The
only remaining question is will it be via negotiation? Seems unlikely, right,
Will it be Israel on its own? Israel's proven to
be absolutely magical at this point. It's a blue accomplished
so maybe even at Fido. And will the US get
(28:05):
involved with the bunker busters?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
You're on the Dan Kepler Show.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
And now back to the Dan Kaepla Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
I want to listen to this see if I'm going
to add it to my life.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Do you and your fans have a playlist?
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Oh that's a great question. We're making one for assembling one.
We have a pretty complimentary musical interests, shall we say.
But this one is Florence and the Machine, rather modern
sound and I don't love you, I just love the
bomb is the lyric that you heard there.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
See that the music fits our vibe, but I'm not
sure about the words.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Well, you'd have to look at the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, anything that starts with I don't love you probably
doesn't make our plays.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Well, if you love the bomb, I think what she's
referring there metaphorically is.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
The bomb that was dropped.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
On you when Amy entered your life, and I just
rearranged everything. You're one fork and one recliner in your
living room.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Oh yeah, Oh my goodness. Yeah, literally, the lazy boy
and the big screen TV.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, total, the lazy boy, big screen tea,
and a knife don't leave the knife out and a dog.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
But yeah, no, I just think the problem with that.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I don't think they can go on the list again
because it's hard to get past the I don't love you.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
I'm gonna send you the whole lyrics. Okay, the email.
Then you can judge for yourself from there.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Okay, okay, all right. Do you think Trump goes into
a run?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
If so, when and how.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Are you asking me then? Or just is it?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well everybody but you're included, Well, you're right there.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
He set the stage what I love and I post
about this on x DAN where people can follow me
at Ryan shuling A c h U I l i NG.
Adam Schiff and Mark Warner were complaining that Trump wasn't
being clear about his intentions with their.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Run, and to me especially, it seems like a good thing.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
Exactly what I go. Here's Adam Schiff, a notorious leaker
to the New York Times, and I'm glad that he's
not sure and he doesn't know, because you know what,
if he's not sure and Senator Warner is not sure,
then you know damn well the ayah toola has no
idea what's coming or when, right.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
And deception is a critical part of war.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Right, And so yeah, when you hear the President say
within the next two weeks, well tonight would be within
the next two weeks. But but Yeah, we can't know
from the outside without the classified stuff, but it would
seem to make sense that Israel the phenomenal job it's doing.
You allow Israel to just soften up those air defenses
as much as possible around for them, and then you
(30:44):
go in when it's the safest possible for Americans unless
and listen, I can't know enough to know the answer
to this. Maybe Israel can take out that side.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Now you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
One hundred yards down through right straight rock or sideways
through straight rock. But maybe there are other ways to
take out that enrichment capacity, cutting power supplies, things like that.
So if Israel can do it on its own, Israel,
I think would want to, and it would be better
for America to be able to stay out completely.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But you got to accomplish the mission.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
At this point, it is so right we don't need
probably you shouldn't even have to spend a second on
It is so obviously in America's national security interest that
they're not being nuclear armed Iran, not under this regime,
and obviously our commitment to our great Ali Israel three
oh three someone three eight two five five text d
An five seven seven three nine Dan and Ryan, don't
(31:37):
forget about the illegal immigrants who are also on the
public and then it ends there dime. Hopefully he wasn't
texting while driving. Yeah, and this is against the backdrop
we're talking about. Mike Johnston has Denver on the road
to financial insolvency, right, and that's why you have all
these layoffs and everything else. And it's it's on the
road there in significant part because he for his own
(31:59):
political perpose, is spending money. Denver can't afford to house
people from all over the world who just want to
come to Denver.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
And he's promised the world we will get you a home.
I mean literally, you promise that we will get you
a home, and Denver simply can't afford it.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Plus it's bad for the homeless people and because it's
not going to break the cycle, and they're such an
easy fix, as we have detailed. So that's what the
texture I believe is referring to Dan. What's the name
of your podcast? My podcast is this show? So it's
just the Dan Kapla Show, and then it's you can
take it off a lot of different podcasts.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Also cleverly edited by yours truly, because while we do
a good job.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Well, we hold the.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Licensing rights for the music on the over the air
version of the Dan Kapla Show, So if you want
to hear the music that I play, you got to
listen to the radio button.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
When I put on the podcast.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
We've been sternly worn and told oh really, and I
got to cut the music out, And so I jump
in right where that feeds down.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Strongly worded letters, yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Well yeah, emails for sure, Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Emails, Yeah, I guess anymore?
Speaker 4 (33:01):
What be Goldberg?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I assume from this has been visiting Colorado, where certain
things have been legalized, unfortunately, And.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
That's why I am saying that it is the same
murdering someone for their difference is not good.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Whoever done it's not good. So that's why boys, you.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Weren't saying what you What I heard was not what
you meant.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
I think it's very different live in the United States
in twenty twenty five than it is to live in
Arotic you're black for everybody, not if you're black.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
She can't possibly believe that, right, So you get to
the point, do we even play sound from that show?
Because you know so much of what they say they
don't believe and they just play it so people will
talk about it, right and listen. Obviously, this country will
work in progress. One of the great accomplishments in human
history and the great testaments to human goodness, is the
(33:58):
progress this nation has made when it comes to treatment.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Of people of color. I mean, when you.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Look at the evil, evil, evil place we started with slavery,
and so many Americans willing to die in order to
free people of color from that evil, and so many
Americans committee, including my mom and dad, in their own
very bold and courageous ways, committed to civil rights in
ways large and small, and so many good people have
(34:27):
just come together to undo these injustices and make society
so much better right now. But we still have massive, massive,
implicit racism, almost all of it coming from the Democratic
Party systematically, which is still and deliberately holding down black Americans,
(34:48):
holding down brown Americans, holding down people of color disproportionately
through these policies that are so obviously racist in effect,
whether it's glorifying, celebrating, mag to find in every way possible,
this commitment to abortion when they know it kills four
black kids for every white kid.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
And none of the kids should be killed.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
How do you get a more racist policy than that,
And that is what that the Modern Democratic Party worships,
it exists for, it organizes around. So you just look
at the implicit racism that people of color still facing
this country on a massive scale, and we hadn't even
gotten to education yet, and almost all of.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
It coming from the Modern Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
And hopefully we're getting close to a true tipping point
in voting patterns. Lord knows, we could use one in Colorado.
Three or three someone three eight, two, five five the number. Hey,
coming up our special guest medical doctor, doctor Katherine Wheeler,
each week at this time to talk about the medical
realities of abortion.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
You're on the Dad Capital Show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
HeLa and Merton. Then Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
What a privilege have Michael in studio with us to
start the show today, the Situation with Michael Brown of
course each morning six to ten six point thirty kids
of w out of Denver, and Michael National of course
on the weekends with the Week with Michael Brown. But Michael,
I was listening as I always do to you as
I'm coming in this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It always makes me nervous when I find out, you know,
people that I know very well are listening.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It always makes you nervous, not surprised, but no, it's cool,
and I do every day. And I've been meaning all
week to just email you and say, man, you're on
fire on this, on that, etc. But today I finally
had to reach out. Okay, somebody, I've never been fired
in the middle of a segment. Is that what's going
on here for you? Somebody reaching and taking the microphone
away from me, Okay, that's Kelly who just replaced the
(01:01):
mic sock that goes over the mic.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They must think I'm contagious, but.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
No, those were actually much better marks.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yes, anyway, So I reached out to Michael as soon
as I got over to Snooze for breakfast and asked
if he join us today because I love the conversation
you were having on Juneteenth and your take on Juneteenth,
So thank.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You for being here.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Can you take the floor and just tell folks? I mean,
I'm sure there's a lot of crossover in the audience,
but for those who didn't hear you this morning, just
give me your take.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Well, the reason I decided to do it was because,
you know, this is a company holiday, and I'd gone
to you know, Tepper and said, hey, listen, I don't
want to take Thursday off. I want I want to work.
Can I move this holiday somewhere else? And then I thought,
but there's gonna be people are going to glat to
their mailbox and where's the mail or even I did it.
After talking about it, I called about my mother's debit
(01:52):
card and got the message, hey, we're not open the door.
I thought, what an idiot I am? Because I talked
about this all morning, and it was we have this
federal holiday that Joe Biden signed back in twenty twenty one.
And the whole idea, nobody really knows the genesis other
than oh, the slaves learned in Galveston, Texas that the
war was over and they'd been freed. Well, they had
(02:12):
actually been freed two or three years earlier, and post
George Floyd riots, and the I mean, the self avowed
Marxist who found a Black Lives Matter started with this
idea of June teenth, and that became a federal holiday.
And no one truly understands the history of June teenth,
and what when you look at it from a Marxist
(02:33):
point of view, what are they really trying to do?
And on a very broad basis, I'd say they're not necessarily.
I mean, I think way past our lifetimes, they may
think this, but in the near future it's to make
us think of Juneteenth, as in fact, they call it
Freedom Day. Well, when I think of Freedom Day, I
(02:54):
think of July fourth, seventeen seventy six, and certainly not
anything in sixteen, nineteen, ten seventy six. And the whole
thing about Juneteenth is it's peddling the idea that this
is Freedom Day and it's not, and even the facts
about Juneteenth are often misleading.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
No, And I thought that was such an important take,
just going back to you know, as you talked about
and you talked about on your show this morning Michael
Brown six to ten, six thirty kis W in the morning,
you talked about cultural Marxism and why this was an
important piece of that. So yeah, I just thought it'd
be great if we could dive into the history with
you because to me, and I really like this point
(03:33):
you're making this morning, anything that divides us is bad,
and one thing we should all be able to unite
around is the whole idea of Independence Day, right July fourth.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And I just thought that is so absolutely critical because
when I look at say Joe Biden, and you know
that that wing of the Democratic Party, which I guess
is the Democratic Party now, it seems that they're constantly
trying to divide us on the basis of race while
while actually holding back people of color, including African Americans,
in so many substantive ways. So it's like, I toss people,
(04:07):
you should be doing much more for a holiday and say, okay,
now you've got your own. You know the implication is
July Fourth's and that just divides.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
So let me ask, let me, let me play lawyer
with you for a moment. Did you hear it all
anything today? In all the coverage? Because I did a
quick search before I came here, just to see what
the top news story in Colorado was today. Now it's
all Juneteenth, really, And if you go I mean, if
you go on like any of the AI apps, or
you go onto Google, it's all Juneteenth. Juneteenth, not sing
(04:40):
not a single one of them, at least I could find.
And maybe out there I just didn't find it. Does
anybody talk about either the thirteenth Amendment or Abraham Lincoln?
So now who freed the slaves? Oh? Yeah, there was
that stupid thing if we thought it was emancipation something,
the emancipation Proclamation.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
A republican press, republican press, and.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
The thirteenth Amendment. If you've ever studied the history of
how all the political machinations that went together to pass
that amendment is fascinating. And so now this cultural Marxism
is what what what do Marx What do Marx and
Lennen want to do. They went to erase history so
(05:20):
we don't know our history, so that they can replace
it with whatever facts they want us to believe. And
so this is an attempt, I believe, to erase Abraham Lincoln,
the Emancipation Proclamation and of all amendments, the thirteenth Amendment
that abolished slavery, and make us think about, oh, it
had to do with a general that went to Galveston, Texas,
Texas and freed the slaves. Well, he did no such thing.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, And it seems to me that the origin of
this is not you know, African Americans of juneteenth. Maybe
I'm wrong on that. And my original reaction to the
holiday is, Okay, it's political moved by Biden.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
It really is originated as a black holiday. But it
originated as a black holiday in Galveston for the reason
that they were celebrating that. Oh we learned about the
Emancipation Proclamation.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well, educate me on that.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So it's a holiday that's been celebrated then in Texas
since maybe all the way back to eighteen sixty five.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I would say it goes back within the black community. Okay,
I'm kind of gimmerly speaking to eighteen sixty five, but
it's always been originally focused on it was celebrated that
was the day that the final group of slaves learned
that they were free, because you know, the General went
(06:37):
down issued Order number three or whatever it was, and said,
I'm with the Union, you know, army, and I'm here
to free you and to enforce the law in Texas. Right.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And it seems to me, hey, great, that's a beautiful
thing and positive thing to celebrate. Right, So I've got
no problem with that celebration. What fascinated me with with
with your recitation of history today is is, hey, was
this motive on a national level, the national two teenth?
Was that motivated by a group of folks then who
wanted to just divide us and draw attention away.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
From you know, Independence.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Day itself, et cetera, and these other motivations you're talking about,
you know, just sort of write Lincoln out of the history,
et cetera. So I just thought that was intriguing because honestly,
I'd never paid much attention to.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It, and most people don't.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, but well that's why you're there each morning from
six to ten.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
We don't know that's nice. Yeah, No, it bugged me
from the day that Biden signed it because when you
think about when he signed it, when what we know now,
did he really know he was signing it or not
signing all? And what was you see, there's so many
tentacles in this story. Yeah, so did he really know
what he was doing? But insofar as who was really
(07:51):
pushing this, it really was Calice Collures and the other
founders of Black Lives Matter, who again I emphasize I'm
not calling the marks. They call themselves Marxist, and they
have Marxist training, that's the that's their background. And so
it's that group that pushed it. And then when you
look at the timeline, it's just the year right after
(08:12):
all those mostly peaceful protests because of the death of
George Floyd.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, because when when Biden first did that, and didn't
they come together like very quickly, at least publicly. It
seemed to just get on the raidar and then be
a done deal, and they were rushing to give all
federal workers a day off. But when I first heard it,
the thing that ticked me off was, you know, here's
Biden and the Democratic Party, which I think screws African
Americans and other minorities every which way, right, and and
(08:38):
rather than giving them the kind of things you should
be given, like true opportunity through school choice, et cetera,
it's it's this insulting I'll toss your holiday kind of thing.
That's that's the thing that bugged me from the beginning. Right, Hey,
can you do another segment. I'd love to get your
take on all things important starting with Iran. So yeah,
great to have Michael Brown in studio with us, and
(09:00):
as you know, you can air him every morning six
to ten really anywhere on the iHeart app but out
of six thirty Kitchen W and Denver. And then he
does his national show on the weekends creatively entitled The
Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You're on the Dan Kepler Show.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
And now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Michael Brown kind enough to be with us.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He is dynamite in the morning, says you know, six
to ten, six thirty, Kitchen W Denver. Listen to him
anywhere in the world on the iHeart app and then
nationally the Weekend with Michael Brown. And so last segment,
we talked about Juneteenth because I'd heard Michael's take on
that on his show this morning. Thought it was fascinating
and you can pick it off the podcast. Michael, want
to get your take on Iran. Obviously you had a
(09:41):
chance to perceive the situation in Iran from the White
House and government.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
But as we sit here today, what do you think
is going to happen.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I think we're watching an amazing game of forty chess
being played while while Saudi and I forget maybe Cutter
Ua or somebody have made some very initial comments saying,
you know, shame when you Israel don't do this. Then
they just completely shut up. So they did what they
(10:13):
said they would do, they would make a comment, They've
been quiet. Trump went over there. There's no doubt in
my mind that when he and natan Ya, who met
before that trip, they had already talked about what was
going to take place. And I think that the Saudi's UAE,
the Emirates Kuwait, I think they're all behind Israel. They
(10:35):
just can't say anything practically because they the mollahs Iatola
Komene is as much a threat to those Muslim countries
as he is to the Jewish state, and they want
this taken care of.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Good point, you were talking on affair about the day after.
Whatever the scenario is, the day after, what do you
see coming there?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That's the scary part. I don't know. And I go
back to my days after nine to eleven with the
Iraq war, in the Afghanistan war, which I think we
truthfully we totally botched because we didn't have a day
one plan. And so let's say that we eliminate the
(11:18):
nuke threat, we eliminate Ayatola Komene, the Molas are deposed,
what's next because there are other Malitias, there are other
radical groups now. The Persian people, the Uranian people themselves,
I think do want freedom. They have a great cultural
history of freedom and great civilization and everything. But do
(11:39):
we know of anyone that can rise up and be
a leader. I don't know. I don't know that there's
a day one plan, right. That's what scares me.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So how do you want to see this ending?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Well? I want to see the nuclear program ended. I
want that. I do believe it's a threat. I'd love
to see the Mola's gone, and I would love to
see some sort and I maybe there is, even though
I still have my clearances. I don't get the briefings
anymore that I used to get. So I don't know
all the details, but I would hope. I would hope
(12:12):
that we have operatives or that Massad has operatives that
are in country now, that if say the Ayatola is
taken out, that there is automatically someone that can step
to a microphone and say, here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Massade has been so effective. It might be somebody from Masada.
They're like magicians.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
They may have already improved somebody. For all we know,
we may have some you know, uh, you know Iranian
that is part of some group that's ready a business
mammy who knows who it might be?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Can you imagine how wired they have to be to
be able to get all of those top military commanders
into the same bunker at the same time so they
can kill them all?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
No, oh my lord, it's we've learned in this country
not not to answer our pages. Yeah, and if we're
astigating on a zoom callers, I think in particular time,
question it crazy. Get them all together. They're unbelievable, unbelievably good.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, it your take on President Trump right now?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It my take is, and I sense yours is from
listening to you in the mornings that at this point
he is he is committed to ending that nuclear program
and if Israel can't do it on its own, despite
the magnificent work it's done, that he will end it.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I think he will. I think he's actually made the decision.
I think that's why he came back. I think he
came back from the G seven early for two reasons.
One because he really did the need to make the decision,
and he didn't deal with Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, so yeah, you know, it's it was a.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Twofer for him. But I just know from personal experience,
when the president comes back from a meeting, or the
President says, I went the National Security team, uh, in
the situation room, those are decision days.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And I've always wondered the situation with Michael Brown your
morning show out of the Denver Market. Is that after
the situation room? Is that what inspired it? O?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yes, so careful because of wolf Blitzer, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, I'd handle that case for you.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But thank you, you're far better than it goes without
saying my last question for you, And thanks for the
time today, really, and I'm glad we can do this
a lot, But what does the situation room look like like?
You've been in the White House, You've been in all
these places, you know, we just see it in movies,
et cetera. Describe what probably is really going on in there.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's one of the most intriguing places, I think, other
than some of the undisclosed locations that I've been in,
it's probably one of the most intriguing places because it's
when when the team is there, the President sitting at
the head of the table, Secretary of State or the
Vice President is to his right, Secretary of Defense is
(14:48):
who has left, and then the team is sits down
this long conference room conference table, and then people like me,
depending on who's in the room, I might be either
at the table or sitting against the wall. And then
there are television screens all around the room, and those
are all what we call secure pipes, and the president
can tell the op center in the Pentagon or Langley,
(15:11):
I want to talk to so and so securely in Islamabad.
And suddenly you're talking to a guy that you can't
tell where he is in some little closet talking to
you from Islamabad on a secure line, telling you here's
what's happening on the ground. It is absolutely intriguing what
goes on in that room. And you know that that
(15:34):
is the center of power in the material universe that
we live in.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, yeah, no, and thank god it's in America and.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Not somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, grateful for the time today, my friends. Yeah,
I really appreciate that. Hope you can do it often.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So let me just say to you, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Oh every day, every day. It's a selfish act on
my part. I'm learning stuff. That was the old line
about Russian Lambas show, Right, he'd always come on and say, hey,
everybody doing.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Your show prep. So no, it's part of my show
prep to listen to you each day.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Get that down.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Okay, that is a problem I.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Need is a good promo.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But well, good, No, look forward to doing this a
bunch on a wide range of topics. Because one of
the things to me, when I choose a radio show
to listen to or some TV show or whatever, I'm
just looking for value added. You know, I want to
come out of that show. We always want to be entertained, right,
and you certainly do that, But I want to come
out of that show knowing more right, right, and I
(16:33):
always do want to listen to you. Wow, Yeah, you
just got your renaissance today. Christmas has so much stuff
I need to Yeah, pull up.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Fifty five fifty one.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I know that is impressive. Is get this guy on
more often? No, that's awesome. Well, thank you again, really.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Do appreciate any Okay, I'll be there tomorrow morning. Yeah,
six to ten each morning out of six point thirty
Kitsch at w denvery you can get Michael obviously anywhere
in the world on the iHeart app and then nationally
over here.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
On the weekends.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
The weekend with Michael Brown's so anxious to get your
taken all this. Abbie Johnson's going to join us out
of the break as well. And we do want to
follow up on something mikel and I were talking about
off air, which is this latest polling in the Democrat
primary that has been way ahead of Wiser, but more
importantly how.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That ties into what may be going on on the
GOP side.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I got to tell you something, Ryan, who was that
texter yesterday who suggested Gabe Evans for governor. I was
at a thanks again, Michael, thank you. I was at
a Gabe Evans fundraiser last night. And I don't go
to many of these fundraiser things. I just think, you know,
Gabe is really special as seats really special. I mean that,
you know, one of the key swing seats in America.
(17:54):
But he's always been good, but I was blown away.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He is so good, so good, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And yeah, you know, but he's committed to his run
for Congress, Don't get me wrong, that was clear last night.
I just think he would be a very very good
candidate for governor. Three or three someone three eight, two
five five the number tags a d an five seven, seven,
three nine.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I'm sure Mike Johnston. Mike Johnson would not want to
hear that.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
This Johnston thing is in my head, right, the mayyor
of Denver, who's blanked the pooch so badly here in Denver.
And we'll be talking more about that because there was
an interesting piece in the Post. I want to get
to with you at some point today that talked about
how so many people are off the streets but the
challenges that's posing.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, like you can't pay for it.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You can't tell everybody in the world come to Denver,
We'll get you a home, which he did literally then
brag about taking him off the streets. When you're bankrupting
the city by paying the hotel bill.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
For everybody every night you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
As the city struggles to deal with the projected two
hundred and fifty million dollar budget deficit. And we have
got to talk about this somewhere, right and posted a
good article on it today.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, fewer people on the streets.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
But how's Denver gonna pay for which we've been talking
about from the beginning. Denver can't can't possibly afford it.
And I think Grian you were pointing out on your
fine show each afternoon two to four before this one that, yeah,
Johnston's spending about what two hundred and forty million a
year probably in different homeless programs, and obviously there's these
big popsis spending to you know, just pay for these
(19:37):
hotel rooms and other you know, temporary housing for the
homeless like that every single night, right, Denver just can't
afford it.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Denver now has this what they're projecting.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Eight.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
This is a stunning coincidence, right, aren't they projecting about
a two hundred and forty million dollar budget deficit? So
just can't afford it. And Johnston knows that but doesn't
concern him, right because he figures they'll be out of here,
rising up the ranks to whatever's next before Denver crashes.
And what's frustrating about it three h three someone three
(20:09):
A two five five the number text d an five
seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
What's so frustrating about.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It is that there is such an easy, clear fix,
and and yet the Left isn't willing to go there
because it doesn't serve their agenda as well. But there's
such an easy clear fix to this, this entire homeless problem.
And I'm not talking about silver bullet all goes way,
that's not real life, but a whole heck of a
(20:35):
lot better than what Johnston and the Left are doing now,
because you could spend much, much, much less money and
get the same number of homeless people off the street,
but also have a real chance to break the cycle
for them and to have them not be on the
city dime the rest of their life and have them
get a quality life back if you simply say and
(20:59):
put the word out far and wide, we're enforcing the
law in Denver. If you come to Denver and you
want to live on our streets, you're probably going to
lose your freedom right off the bat. Most people here
who want to live on the streets leave, and most
people don't come here because common denominator, they don't want
to lose their freedom.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But instead of then putting them in.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
A typical jail cell for the various infractions that would
cause them to lose their freedom, you know, you put
them in far less expensive, customized housing than what's happening now.
You know, paying hotels, etc. Nightly rates and all of that.
But you put them into facilities where they are not
free to come and go.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
They are being detained.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Because they violated our laws, and we're going to apply
our laws equally. But they're in places where they're off
our streets. But there's also help available, and so there's
at least some real chance of breaking that cycle. But
what Johnston's doing now is obviously it's suicidal for the city.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
The city can't afforded.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You've got all these people being furloughed, all these other
program cuts right because the city doesn't have enough money,
and it's it's bad for the people being taken off
the street as well. I mean on a night when
it's so cold it might kill you. Yeah, it's better
to be off the street. But otherwise it's just warehousing
them and perpetuating the underlying problems. Three all three someone
three eight two five five the number text d an
(22:23):
five seven seven three nine. So we're going to have
our friend Debbie Johnson, we expect at some point in
the show. Michael Brown joined us for the first two segments,
which are grateful for and you can pick it off
the podcast and Texters Dan, people who worked for the
city for twenty five years will be laid off shortly
before their pensions are vested. Dan, there was a city
(22:44):
meeting last night about laying off people in Denver government.
A critical position such as nine to one one, it
goes on from there. Hey, let's talk about that, right
And have you called nine to one one recently?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I mean, thank god, no, I have.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And for me it's normally when I'm on the highway
or something like that, and there's something really dangerous and
just the nature of my job where I do these
catastrophic cases. I just you know, I just try to
be alert to stuff that could really get somebody killed.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
So, you know, I'll call nine one one.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Sometimes it'll be for one of these, you know, truly
reckless drivers going one hundred miles an hour down the
road in and out of traffic type stuff. But very
often now, and it's not the fault of the men
and women who man dispatch, but it's the fault of
the politicians. Very often you call nine one one in
Denver and you're put on hold for a long time,
and I'm thinking, oh, my lord, what if it was
(23:34):
a true, okay right now kind of crisis.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, what happens then?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
But hey, Mike Johnston gets to say he's getting more
homeless off the street, even though he's doing them a
disservice in the process.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Abby is kind enough to join us, You know, Abby
very well.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Abbie Johnson, who's one of the great heroes of the
pro life movement nationwide, used to be a Planned Parenthood
clinic director, and she joins us today to talk in
part about President Trump's Doge Subcommittee investigation of planned parenthood.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Have you welcome back to the DAN Kaplis Show.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Hello, thank you for having me Dan.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Well appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Hey, yeah, what what is up with this investigation? And
do you think the administration is fully committed to getting there?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I don't know, you know, Margine Taylor Green is one
of the people really heading this up. I do crusted her.
You know, she could be a little wild at times,
but well yeah, that's right, me too, But I do
she is very very pro life. She's very committed to
(24:41):
rooting out abortion funding from uh you know, our federal budget,
from you know, getting planned parenthood, uh you know, away
from hids, from you know, removing them from any sort
of funding programs that we may be paying for, particularly
(25:01):
at the federal level. So uh, you know, I I
do feel confident that she is taking the part very seriously,
that she and her congressional peers that that are around her,
they're kind of surrounding her in this are taking it seriously.
(25:22):
I know, Marjorie Tayler Green uh wants to as much
as anybody wants to rid planned parenthood from from our
society and and close them down and get them away
from our children and vulnerable populations. So I think, you know,
I think this is good and that it just seems like,
(25:46):
you know, Dan, there's always someone.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
You know, we get close to getting rid of plant parents,
we get close to the funding Planned parenthood, we get
so close, and it seems like there's always someone and
in the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask you about. Why
hasn't that happened yet?
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Yeah, it just seems like there's always someone, some group
of people that swamps in and saves Planned Parenthood, you know,
at the last minute. And and they're they're people that
are supposed to be committed to the things that we
believe in. Yeah, and uh, it's really frustrating. You know,
(26:27):
these are people that we have got to get out
of office just because you know, they say just because
someone says they are Republican does not mean they have
the same values as we do. And we've got to
really be careful in primaries. You know, who are we
putting into these places of office? Who are we voting for.
(26:50):
We've really got to start paying attention to that as
as voters.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Well, i'd appreciate the update from you. How can people
best follow you? I know you're on a number of
different sites, So.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
My website if people want to just follow, you know,
find out about me. My podcast Ministry is kind of
what's going on with me. It's Abby, Abby J dot com,
ABBYJ dot com.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Well, appreciate all your great work and the time today.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Thank you, Abby, of course, thanks so much.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Dan, you take care.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Of that is the great Abbie Johnson three or three
someone three eight, two, five, five the numbers, So lots
of head this afternoon. Anything you want to jump in
on will We'll update you on the the war in
Iran when we get back and the President's latest on that.
Michael Brown was kind of enough to join us earlier
and I completely agree with his take and we've been
talking about it on the show, right, I mean, President
(27:42):
Trump at this point, he's all in, fully committed that
nuclear weapons program is going to end in Iran. The
only remaining question is will it be via negotiation? Seems unlikely, right,
Will it be Israel on its own? Israel's proven to
be absolutely magical at this point. It's a blue accomplished
so maybe even at Fido. And will the US get
(28:05):
involved with the bunker busters?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
You're on the Dan Kepler Show.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
And now back to the Dan Kaepla Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
I want to listen to this see if I'm going
to add it to my life.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Do you and your fans have a playlist?
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Oh that's a great question. We're making one for assembling one.
We have a pretty complimentary musical interests, shall we say.
But this one is Florence and the Machine, rather modern
sound and I don't love you, I just love the
bomb is the lyric that you heard there.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
See that the music fits our vibe, but I'm not
sure about the words.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Well, you'd have to look at the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, anything that starts with I don't love you probably
doesn't make our plays.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Well, if you love the bomb, I think what she's
referring there metaphorically is.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
The bomb that was dropped.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
On you when Amy entered your life, and I just
rearranged everything. You're one fork and one recliner in your
living room.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Oh yeah, Oh my goodness. Yeah, literally, the lazy boy
and the big screen TV.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, total, the lazy boy, big screen tea,
and a knife don't leave the knife out and a dog.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
But yeah, no, I just think the problem with that.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I don't think they can go on the list again
because it's hard to get past the I don't love you.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
I'm gonna send you the whole lyrics. Okay, the email.
Then you can judge for yourself from there.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Okay, okay, all right. Do you think Trump goes into
a run?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
If so, when and how.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Are you asking me then? Or just is it?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well everybody but you're included, Well, you're right there.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
He set the stage what I love and I post
about this on x DAN where people can follow me
at Ryan shuling A c h U I l i NG.
Adam Schiff and Mark Warner were complaining that Trump wasn't
being clear about his intentions with their.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Run, and to me especially, it seems like a good thing.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
Exactly what I go. Here's Adam Schiff, a notorious leaker
to the New York Times, and I'm glad that he's
not sure and he doesn't know, because you know what,
if he's not sure and Senator Warner is not sure,
then you know damn well the ayah toola has no
idea what's coming or when, right.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
And deception is a critical part of war.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Right, And so yeah, when you hear the President say
within the next two weeks, well tonight would be within
the next two weeks. But but Yeah, we can't know
from the outside without the classified stuff, but it would
seem to make sense that Israel the phenomenal job it's doing.
You allow Israel to just soften up those air defenses
as much as possible around for them, and then you
(30:44):
go in when it's the safest possible for Americans unless
and listen, I can't know enough to know the answer
to this. Maybe Israel can take out that side.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Now you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
One hundred yards down through right straight rock or sideways
through straight rock. But maybe there are other ways to
take out that enrichment capacity, cutting power supplies, things like that.
So if Israel can do it on its own, Israel,
I think would want to, and it would be better
for America to be able to stay out completely.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But you got to accomplish the mission.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
At this point, it is so right we don't need
probably you shouldn't even have to spend a second on
It is so obviously in America's national security interest that
they're not being nuclear armed Iran, not under this regime,
and obviously our commitment to our great Ali Israel three
oh three someone three eight two five five text d
An five seven seven three nine Dan and Ryan, don't
(31:37):
forget about the illegal immigrants who are also on the
public and then it ends there dime. Hopefully he wasn't
texting while driving. Yeah, and this is against the backdrop
we're talking about. Mike Johnston has Denver on the road
to financial insolvency, right, and that's why you have all
these layoffs and everything else. And it's it's on the
road there in significant part because he for his own
(31:59):
political perpose, is spending money. Denver can't afford to house
people from all over the world who just want to
come to Denver.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
And he's promised the world we will get you a home.
I mean literally, you promise that we will get you
a home, and Denver simply can't afford it.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Plus it's bad for the homeless people and because it's
not going to break the cycle, and they're such an
easy fix, as we have detailed. So that's what the
texture I believe is referring to Dan. What's the name
of your podcast? My podcast is this show? So it's
just the Dan Kapla Show, and then it's you can
take it off a lot of different podcasts.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Also cleverly edited by yours truly, because while we do
a good job.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Well, we hold the.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Licensing rights for the music on the over the air
version of the Dan Kapla Show, So if you want
to hear the music that I play, you got to
listen to the radio button.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
When I put on the podcast.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
We've been sternly worn and told oh really, and I
got to cut the music out, And so I jump
in right where that feeds down.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Strongly worded letters, yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Well yeah, emails for sure, Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Emails, Yeah, I guess anymore?
Speaker 4 (33:01):
What be Goldberg?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I assume from this has been visiting Colorado, where certain
things have been legalized, unfortunately, And.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
That's why I am saying that it is the same
murdering someone for their difference is not good.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Whoever done it's not good. So that's why boys, you.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Weren't saying what you What I heard was not what
you meant.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
I think it's very different live in the United States
in twenty twenty five than it is to live in
Arotic you're black for everybody, not if you're black.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
She can't possibly believe that, right, So you get to
the point, do we even play sound from that show?
Because you know so much of what they say they
don't believe and they just play it so people will
talk about it, right and listen. Obviously, this country will
work in progress. One of the great accomplishments in human
history and the great testaments to human goodness, is the
(33:58):
progress this nation has made when it comes to treatment.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Of people of color. I mean, when you.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Look at the evil, evil, evil place we started with slavery,
and so many Americans willing to die in order to
free people of color from that evil, and so many
Americans committee, including my mom and dad, in their own
very bold and courageous ways, committed to civil rights in
ways large and small, and so many good people have
(34:27):
just come together to undo these injustices and make society
so much better right now. But we still have massive, massive,
implicit racism, almost all of it coming from the Democratic
Party systematically, which is still and deliberately holding down black Americans,
(34:48):
holding down brown Americans, holding down people of color disproportionately
through these policies that are so obviously racist in effect,
whether it's glorifying, celebrating, mag to find in every way possible,
this commitment to abortion when they know it kills four
black kids for every white kid.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
And none of the kids should be killed.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
How do you get a more racist policy than that,
And that is what that the Modern Democratic Party worships,
it exists for, it organizes around. So you just look
at the implicit racism that people of color still facing
this country on a massive scale, and we hadn't even
gotten to education yet, and almost all of.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
It coming from the Modern Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
And hopefully we're getting close to a true tipping point
in voting patterns. Lord knows, we could use one in Colorado.
Three or three someone three eight, two, five five the number. Hey,
coming up our special guest medical doctor, doctor Katherine Wheeler,
each week at this time to talk about the medical
realities of abortion.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
You're on the Dad Capital Show.

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
