Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caplis, 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. How ironic, how
telling that at the very same time America is saved today.
It's official, right, it's official. These federal cases against President
(00:25):
Trump where the ruling party sought to jail a political
opponent so that he could not beat them on election
day because the Biden administration knew Trump was going to
beat them on election day. So just like the New
York's charade, just like these federal cases at this was
the single greatest threat to the foundation of this nation. This,
(00:46):
this Lawfair, this Banana republic bs, the single greatest threat
to this nation since the Cuban missile crisis. We cannot
be defeated from the outside. We cannot be We can
only be defeated from the inside. Kind of lawfair the
single most dangerous threat to the stability and to the
ongoing success of the nation. So thank god, once again,
(01:09):
the voters saved America, just like they did in sixteen.
Because if Trump doesn't win in sixteen, that then you've
got a US Supreme Court with instead of Gorsich and
Amy Conne Barrett and Justice Kavanaugh. You know, you have
three very liberal justices legislating from the bench, and we
no longer have a democracy because every major issue is
decided as a matter of constitutional law or alleged constitutional law.
(01:34):
This time around, if the American people don't elect Donald Trump,
then lawfair prevails in this country as we know it
is done.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We're a banana republic.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
And so once again, the American people save America by
electing Donald Trump. And what a sweet thing and how
ironic it comes at the same time that the mayor
of Denver, the mayor of Denver has been openly calling
for an insurrection, because that's what he's calling for rights.
That's what we talked about the day the story broke
last week, openly calling for an insurrection. When he talks
(02:07):
about using the great men and women of DPD, misusing them, illegally,
using them to go out and take on federal law enforcement,
to stop federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law. That's
a real insurrection, not the phony insurrection charges against Trump.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
What Mike Johnston called for is a real insurrection.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So think about how this has come full circle, right
and who the lawless ones are. The modern Democratic Party is,
in many different ways just blatantly lawless eight f five
four zero five eight two five five. The number one
prominent individual has come around to agree with us on that.
(02:48):
I won't say he came around, he just voiced it later.
That's Senator Ran Paul.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
The mayor of Denver.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
If he's going to resist federal law, which there's a
longstanding history of the Supper. I go to a federal law,
he's going to resist that, it will go all the
way to Supreme Court, and I would suspect that he
would be removed from office. I don't know whether or
not there'd be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Federal law, but he will lose.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
And people need to realize that what he is offering
is a form of insurrection where the states resist the
federal government. Most people objected to that and rejected that
long ago. So I think the mayor of Denver is
on the wrong side of history, and really I think
will face legal ramifications if he doesn't obey the federal law.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
He is on the wrong side of history. It's very
much like the segregationists. Remember the George Wallaces that those
evil cowards down in the South who stood in the
schoolhouse door to try to stop the federal government from
enforcing federal law and integrating schools. Mike Johnston's putting himself
in that same category. Oh no, no, he's going to
(03:52):
he's with all this crime we have and I know
it's a relatively small percentage of the folks here illegally,
but for American City, since you cannot justify one American
woman being raped by somebody who shouldn't even be in
the country legally when we have control of our borders
if we want to, you cannot justify one murder. You
cannot justify one person killed by a driver on the
(04:14):
road who shouldn't be here legally, let alone what Mike
Johnston and Left seeks to do, which is to through
being a sanctuary city quote unquote, protect those who are
already in the criminal justice system. And that's what Donald
Trump is focused on. He wants to come to Colorado
and round up those who have already been in the system,
or they committed serious crimes where they came from.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Or the courts have already said you got to go home.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But Mike Johnston is going to commit an insurrection to
stop that. Think about that. That's as bad as what
we saw down in the Deep South, where people tried
to stop the federal government from enforcing federal law in
the interest of civil rights. Because guess what, American citizens
have civil rights too, and that includes the right to life,
(05:01):
that includes the right not to be raped, the right
not to be murdered. But Mike Johnston is so concerned,
so concerned about preserving that absolutely pure sanctuary city status
that he would and has actually threatened an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Eight five for zero five eight two five five, Which
leads to the question should he be recalled. I don't
know if Frian Schuling talked about that in his great
show because I've been busy in my law practice, but
I have very strong feelings on that. Eight five for
zero five eight two five five techs DA N five
seven seven three nine. I know that there's been a
lot of chatter on social et cetera about recalling Mike Johnston.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Where do you come down on that, my friend?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
More importantly, the way I come down on it is
Valdimar Archiletta was with me here in studio during the
program that you mentioned, and thank you for mentioning it,
saying that they're in the exploratory phase of determining whether
they can gather enough signatures, what the procedural aspect of
it would be, who they might suggests replacing him with.
So the gears are in more motion at least than
(06:03):
the initial stages of it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, and listen, I respect the thought behind it, because
what Johnston's doing is it's already so dangerous. As we
talked about last week when the story broke quite a second,
when Mike Johnston comes out and villainizes federal law enforcement
like that, we have all these great federal US marshalls
in Colorado, we have all these great federal we have ice,
(06:26):
we have all these great federal law enforcement officers, let alone,
you know, when you have others deputized to serve that role.
Mike Johnston comes out and vilifies them to the point
of saying, Hey, fifty thousand people in the streets, it'll
be like Tieneman Square to resist these federal officers. And
then he's going to use DPD to go out and
physically block them. He just puts a big target on
(06:47):
their back. Mike Johnston knows that in large part because
of the left's hate of law enforcement, there are a
lot of wackos out there. There are a lot of
wackos out there who just hate cops, and it doesn't
take much to trigger one. And so when the mayor
of Denver comes out and he actually labeled he talked about,
and I'm paraphrasing, invasion, invasion. If Trump was to deputize
(07:10):
National Guard from other states to come in and execute
federal law, that they would be invaders. You talk about
danger creation and enhancing the danger to federal law enforcement officers,
which he has already accomplished just by threatening this insurrection
and calling for fifty thousand people to take to the
streets to stop federal law enforcement from executing the laws.
(07:33):
And understand within that Johnston never even claimed that they
be violating the law. No, this is just to stop
federal law enforcement from executing federal law, enforcing federal law.
But that's why I say, I completely respect the motivation
the intent of anybody who wants to do a recall,
I would just strongly advise against it because they almost
(07:55):
never work.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So what you end up happen. Having happened, then is
you have.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
A lot of good people doing a lot of work
and spending a lot of time and a lot of
money on something that's very justified because of the wrongdoing
being done by the officeholder. But those resources are virtually
certain to be wasted in the end because these recalls
are so hard to pull off. So that's my reluctance there,
(08:20):
And it comes back to throwing, you know, smart punches,
not wild punches. But I completely respect the motivation and
if they go down that road, give him every minute
airtime they want to try to pull it off. Because
Mike Johnston should not be in office once he crossed
that line and he promised an insurrection and he called
for tens of thousands to take the street to stop
(08:42):
law enforcement from enforcing the law. Yeah, he should not
be in office, but he will remain in office. And
so now the point is that the people of Denver,
I think are soon going to realize if the media
reports this fairly at all the harm Mike Johnston has
done to the people of Denver, Because, as I pointed
(09:03):
out at the time this story broke, I mean, you
really think this is going to help Denver, get federal funding.
Taunting President Trump this way, you're going to defy the
law and send your law enforcement out to take on
his law enforcement. And it virtually guarantees that Trump's efforts
are going to start here, which they probably were anyway
through quote Operation Aurora. So do you think Mike Johnston
(09:25):
should be recalled? We'll have some more hot sound on this,
and of course that the big breaking news of the
day just as we hit air, the judge has dismissed
without prejudice. I'll explain what that means. The federal charges
against Trump. A great day for America. There should be
church bells ringing everywhere. The voters have once again saved
this country. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Oh Man, a.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Message for Mike Johnson and others have similar ilk.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
And for those mayors and those governors who say they're
going to stop me from stop Ice from doing the job,
stop me from doing this job. Listen to Lake and
Riley tape. Listen to the seventeen minutes of this girl suffering,
fighting for her life, fighting for her breath.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
This little girl didn't.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Want to die. She fought like hell and listen to
that tape that happens every day across this country in
the hands of an illegal alien.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
But the Mike Johnston's of the world apparently don't care
about that at all. Think about what he's doing, and
he knows that he's a smart guy, a s'morn smart
person doing moronic things, but he does it for a
reason selfish political reasons, right, Because you think Mike Johnston
cares at all about the next Lake and Riley, or
about what you think, or I think, or Denver voters think,
of course not. I think what Mike Johnston cares about
(10:39):
is what the billionaire class who's going to decide who
Denver's next governor, is what they think. Because I believe
Mike Johnston thinks that as long as he's got the
billionaire class from whatever states they come from, and he's
got the money, and he's got the money to steamroll
the primary, just like Jared Poliss. Did you know when
when Polist started winning, that's all that's going to matter
(11:01):
because if you win the Democrat primary, then you win
the general. I think that's Mike Johnston's thinking. But if
he's thinking about or cares about Lake and Riley or
the next Lake and Riley. Unfortunately, we've had plenty of
those innocent victims killed in horrific ways in Colorado. If
he's thinking about that, that then he must realize that
(11:24):
when he comes out and says something as preposterous as
openly calling for an in promising an insurrection, Yeah, he's
going to use DPD to go out to the county
line to stop federal law enforcement. He wants fifty thousand
in the streets. Compares it to Tanneman Square. He knows
that is the single biggest magnet. It's the single biggest
(11:46):
magnet he could possibly construct. Remember the old superconductor when
they were going to build the superconductor and it was
going to be this miles and miles wide circle and
generate all of this phenomenal scientific effect. Mike Johnston knows
by making those public statements he has built the biggest,
most powerful magnet humanly possible to attract not only folks
(12:09):
up from south to the border to Denver, but can
you imagine all the folks in the surrounding states, you know,
who've come to the country legally and then they're concerned
about Holy Cow law is going to be enforced. Now
Trump's coming, where do I go, Well, the merit Denver
is going to protect me. He's going to put fifty
thousand in the streets to protect me. He's going to
(12:29):
call out his police department to protect me.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Of course you're going to Denver.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Mike Johnston knew that when he said what he said,
he wants folks who are in the country illegally to
come here. Clearly he does. Now we can talk about
why you think he wants that, and I'd love to
know your thoughts. D an five seven seven three nine,
or if you're a throwback like me, call the show
We Love Callers eight five five four zero five eight
(12:56):
two five five to number. Why do you think he
wants folks who are in the country illegally to come here?
And listen, he knows that that along with a majority
who are going to be otherwise law abiding, just trying
to make a better life, but still having an effect
on resources that Denver can't handle. That you're going to
(13:17):
have a certain percentage who are hard in criminals. That
that's just the reality when the border has been left
wide open and people have entered unvetted. He knows that
he knows that the horrible, horrible crimes that have been
committed here by some, certainly not all of.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
The folks here illegally. He knows that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So why is he going out of his way to
say the things that are most likely to attract more
folks illegally.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
To come to Denver. Why do you think he's doing that?
But make no mistake, he is doing that. A five
for zero five, A two five five.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Let me get to some of those DA N five
seven seven thirty nine texters, Dan, I wonder how many
of any Denver police officers that are bay Johnson's unlawful
order to block federal officers attempting to enforce immigration laws.
My guess is probably a grand total of none. I mean,
first of all, yeah, my dad was a cop for
(14:12):
thirty years.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I know cops.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I represent a lot of cops in their civil injury cases.
They sign up to enforce the law not violated. Second,
you know, cops want to go home to their families.
They don't want to end up facing federal charges. And
cops are really smart and they understand the law. Federal
law preempts here, federal law controls. So you know, Mayor
(14:38):
of Denver tells you to go out and fight federal
forces to stop them from enforcing federal law. I think
the number would probably be zero. If a number could
be less than zero, I think it'd be less than zero.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt we're going to find out,
because I think Mike Johnston's goal in promising an interaction
(14:58):
insurrection and saying that things that he did, I think
Mike Johnston's goal was to raise a lot of billionaire
class money for Mike Johnston in his run for governor.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I think that was his goal.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't think he ever had any intention of actually
doing it, because he knows he'd end up in a
jail cell, and I don't think he wants to go
to jail. So I think what he did was he
went out of his way to attract illegals to Denver.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Check that box succeeded.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
On behalf of whatever far left billionaire supporters that appeals to,
and he gathered more attention for himself and his run
for governor. And you know, in terms of the effect
on the rest of people Colorado, because it will attract
it must attract many more illegals to Denver.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It has to I mean, what would you.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Do if you're here illegally and you're in any of
these surrounding states. You get to Denver as quickly as
you could, because the mayor's going to protect you there.
Dan doesn't everything the Colorad Supreme Court and Secretary of
Status set about leaders that call for a cause of insurrection?
Haven't they already said that in Colorado? They don't even
deserve to be on the ballot. Excuse me, I know
(16:12):
that sounded great in your radio, right Sorry? Ye now Here,
he has not actually, at this point led an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
He hasn't actually ordered the police to do that.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And because his statement did not occur at a moment
when a large number of people, say, might be mobilized
to go out and oppose federal law enforcement, there wouldn't
be a crime at this point, and so I wouldn't
expect any legal action along those lines to succeed. Now,
clearly he has promised an insurrection, and that is at
(16:49):
the very least ironic, particularly given how the phony insurrection
charges that the left waged against Trump. And I don't
know about Johnston's exact statements on that, but I imagine if
we go back and research it, we'd probably find he
was part of that howling pack and mob.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, that it's.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Actually Johnston calling for an insurrection, and he's not the
only lefty to do so.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Schumer did it openly.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I want to tell you, Gorzatz, I want to tell
you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And you will pay the price.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
You won't know what hit you if you go forward
with these awful decisions.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Another classic, clear example of a call for an insurrection,
a threat by name to Supreme Court justice as an
equal branch of government, that they will face violence if
they don't rule the way the Senate wants them to rule.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
That a Senate leader wants him to roll. That's insurrection.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Mike Johnston promising to send law enforcement out to physically
stop federal law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
That's insurrection.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So, yeah, should he be recalled Texter, Dan absolutely, maryor
Johnson should be recalled. Every Mike Johnson across the country
should be recalled. He doesn't even qualify for Dan Kaplis's
moron status.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That from Ralph.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So when we come back, we'll take a few more
texting calls on that. I do want to dig a
little bit deeper into and enjoy, enjoy just the wailing
from the left and this very important victory for America
today when these BS insurrection charges against Trump have finally
been dismissed.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
We'll dig deeper into that here on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
You're listening to the Dan Caplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Senator Rand Paul, the mayor of Denver.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
If he's going to resist federal law, which there's a
long standing history of the supremacy of federal law, he's
going to resist that, it will go all away to
Supreme Court, and I would suspect that he would be
moved from office. I don't know whether or not there'll
be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting federal.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Law, but he will lose.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
And people need to realize that what he is offering
is a form of insurrection where the states resist the
federal government. Most people objected to that and rejected that
long ago. So I think the mayor of Denver is
on the wrong side of history, and really I think
will face legal ramifications if he doesn't obey the federal law.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Beautifully said, I think my favorite tweet on all of
this was from Donald Trump Junior, and this account and
wokeness shared a clip, a clip I'm about to play
for you of Johnston saying he did not fear arrest,
and Donald Trump Junior reposted the clip with the comment quote,
(19:48):
your terms are acceptable.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
So I love that. I love that. Yeah, eight f
five for zero five eight two five.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's fascinating to me that the same level that has
now fully invested in false charges, phony charges, politically motivated
charges to try to jail political opponent they can't beat
at the polls, knowing that such law fare is one
of the very few things that could destroy this country,
because we can only be destroyed from the inside. So
(20:19):
the same left that has done this now assumes that
they're going to continue to be immune from having the
laws applied to them, because we've seen a lot of
this right where in lefty controlled jurisdictions, these lefty activists,
including politicians, just assume that the law doesn't apply to them.
(20:41):
They're not going to be prosecuted for breaking the law.
They're just going to go prosecute people for not breaking
the law. But maybe it's starting to dawn on them
that just because Donald Trump has said that as he
should say that no, no, no, no no, his revenge
is going to be success. He's not interested in personal revenge,
(21:02):
nor should he be, and it would be an absolute
crime if the GOP engaged in the same kind of
lawfair that the Democrats have, which is charges being brought
for purely political motivations, often charges that have no basis no.
That would be wrong whether a Republican does it or
a Democrat does it. On the other hand, when you've
(21:23):
got Democrats, including elected Democrats, clearly breaking the law in
ways that cause real harm, the law has to be
applied equally to them. It doesn't mean they get some
get out of jail for free card for life if
they're clearly breaking the law in a way that anybody
(21:45):
would be prosecuted for, whether Republican or Democrat. So maybe
Mike Johnston realized that in the middle of this play
of his it had to be one of two things,
right Ryan, as we go back to our Texters, It
either had to be what's most likely, which is just
Johnston basically setting his hair on fire and running around
(22:05):
naked in order to attract the attention of the billionaire
class on the far left because he needs their money
to get elected governor in Colorado, which is what he's
been running for all long, even as he was running
for mayor. The problem he is right now is that
the support appears to be consolidating around Wiser. So I
think what happened here is Johnston had to do something insane,
(22:26):
just crazy insane to get some attention.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Do you think that.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Helps him with the far left elements, even here in Colorado,
which they are very strong?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
My lord, Yes, they're so whack. I mean, look at
Kamala Harris, right, they are so whack. Yeah, and that's
where a lot of this huge money is. They're still
totally whack. And they think just because Johnston kind of
looks like a boy next door, that he can get
away with being whack. And so far they've been right, right,
(22:55):
he got elected mayor of Denver and the Democrats you
agree with this, Ryan, Oh, Democrats just assume whoever wins
their primary will be governor of Colorado.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
They don't think any Republican can beat them.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Well, not only that, it's interesting to I think they're wrong, Dan,
because I don't see Phil Wiser tacking toward the middle here.
He just went on with Joy Reid on MSNBC, basically
singing out of the same hymnal was Johnston on this, right, But.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It wasn't the get naked like your hair on fire
stuff that Johnston did, right and quite Yeah, So Wiser
is a smart guy who's trying to operate in channels here, right.
So you go on with Joy Reid and you say
some crazy stuff, but it's not calling for an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
So that's what my.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Personal opinion as to what's going on here and those dynamics.
I think it's the same reason that you saw the
media go hard after Jenna Griswold. I think the powers
that be on the left want Wiser and they need
to get rid of Griswold because she's female, and it
points out how hypocritical they are. They talk all this
(24:02):
DEI stuff, but every big job goes to a boring,
old white guy, So they need to get Griswold out
of there before she can remind everybody of that hypocrisy.
And so I think that's what the media blast on
Griswold was.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But we shall see.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
We'll see if she still runs et cetera eight five
five zero five eight two five five the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
But one thing we know for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Is that by calling promising this insurrection and I'll get
to these comments now where he pulls a little MJ
meaning Michael Jackson, Mike Johnston moonwalk, he's put federal law
enforcement in a lot more danger in Colorado because while
and you know, I'm speaking through the eyes of some
(24:48):
deranged wacko out there. Boy, yeah, Oh, the mayri of
Denver thinks they're invaders. The mayor of Denver wants Denver
police to go out and fight him, so I suare
hand kind of mentality. So he's already put federal law
enforcement in more danger. And he's sure as hell one
thousand percent guaranteed, has immediately attracted many, many, many more
(25:11):
folks here illegally to Denver, because that's where you'd go,
right That's where any intelligent, any intelligent, whether otherwise law
abiding or otherwise a criminal illegal, would go right now
as Denver, because the mayor is going to send the
police out to fight the Feds to stop them from
getting me.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Of course they're going to come here, Dan.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
When the deportations start and federal funding is cut off,
where do you think Denver mayor and the governor think
they're going to get the money to support their favorite illegals.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
You can bet in their minds they think.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
The Colorado taxpayers will happily pay more fees to fit
the bills. Sarah Sarah, I don't think they care about
any of that stuff. I think that all Johnston and police, etc.
Care about is pleasing the hardcore far left billionaire class
that controls the modern Democratic party. Elite decides who wins primaries,
(26:02):
you know, who gets elevated to various seats, et cetera.
Now polists can do a lot of self funding, but
these billionaires it is purely totally unlimited. Let's get to
some of that. Walk back here. This happened three or
four days after the original promise of insurrection. Here is
Mike Johnston, and I think it's kusa.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Are you open to sending Denver police officers to the
county line to stop federal forces or National guardsmen from
other states from coming into Denver?
Speaker 9 (26:32):
We have no plan to do that, and we really
hope that we don't ever.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Have to do that. I have no plan. Are you
open to?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Well, we're going to do right now? It's hard to
keep an eye on what the preacher president actually plans
to do. And what the proposal actually is.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
It sounds to me like you're walking back to comments
from a couple of days ago, saying that you would
be willing to send Denver police officers. Do you regret
making those comments and now getting questions like.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
This, Would I have taken it back if I could? Yes,
I probably wouldn't have used that image, because I don't
that's the image I hope we can avoid. What I
was trying to say is this is an outcome I
hope we can avoid in this country.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
I think none of us want to. You talk about
civil disobedience. You've mentioned that a couple of times now.
Would you be willing to participate in those? As the
mayor of Denver? Would you be willing to go out
and protest these things?
Speaker 9 (27:11):
I would if I believe that our residents are having
their rights violate. If I think things are happening that
are illegal or immoral or an American in our city,
I would certainly protest it, and I would expect other
residents would do the same way.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
So when you listen to that, he's not really taking
it back. He's just saying he wished he hadn't used
those words. Then he's not saying he isn't going to
do it. When you listen to that, and we'll play
it again, here's a little bit more of that.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Trump's new boarders are.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Tom Homan has said that he is willing to arrest
leaders like yourself for standing in the way of these
policies that they want to enact. Would you be willing
to go to jail for these things?
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Yeah, I'm not afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Finally, something we can agree on, right because listen, this insidious,
politically motivated lawfare waged by the Democrats, something the GOP
should never do. If you get a mayor like Johnston
who decides to pull an insurrection and decides to go
out through his police department, himself, whatever, and try to
(28:16):
prevent federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law, yeah, the
law should be applied properly against him and anybody else
would be arrested for that. So yeah, I'm not wishing
that on Mike Johnston, but he's apparently wishing it on himself.
Maybe that's his play to become governor. Right to break
(28:36):
through what appears to be this wiser lead on the nomination,
Johnston wants to be put in jail by the Trump
administration becomes some kind of hero. But I sure hope
somebody asks him along the way, why do you care
about folks here illegally more than you care about the
folks here legally, because clearly he does. You're on the
(28:58):
Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast where you're.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Open to sending Denver police officers to the county line
to stop federal forces or National guardsmen from other states
from coming into Denver.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
We have no plan to do that, and we really
hope that we don't ever have to do that.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yes, doesn't say he isn't going to, so he hasn't
really backed off that wild So how poetic. Right at
the very same time in history, where the Biden administration
finally has to dismiss the bs federal charges that were
always politically motivated, designed to jail a political opponent they
(29:37):
knew they couldn't beat at the polls, had to dismiss
it today, and the judge signed off on it without prejudice,
meaning in theory the charges could be brought again after
Trump's presidency.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Everybody knows there's zero chance of that happening.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Then, at the very same time of that, we have
Denver's mayor openly calling for an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
We talked about it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Last week and he didn't back off it there, he
didn't promise not to do that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So think about how.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
We've come full circle from the pursuit of a prosecution
that was Banana Republic stuff never should have been brought
to Denver's mayor brazenly coming out and promising an insurrection
if Trump enforces federal law. And by the way, in
the middle of that, and you never hear Johnston say, oh,
(30:22):
because it would be illegal for Trump to do that.
Now it's just because Johnston doesn't like it. As we
go to the phone lines, I want to thank Ryan
for filling it. On Friday, Amy and I made the
trek to Kansas City to watch the buff game. Obviously
a sad, disappointing loss. And that's just sports, right if
you won every single game and it just get boring,
you take the good with the bad, and that's just
(30:44):
sports at every level. But extraordinarily proud of my wife,
and I always am right, but it's like every day
she gives me a new fresh reason to be proud
of her. Ryan, you have to picture this as I
go to the phone lines. We're in Arrowhead Stadium. We're sitting,
you know, in an area behind the buff bench, and
there are some fans around us from I assume that
(31:07):
area who are very supportive of the Kansas team. And
there are many great Kansas fans just tremendously well behaved,
et cetera. But there were a couple who were really
getting out of line in very personal ways toward coach
Prime and certain buffs. And my wife took this guy on,
(31:29):
And obviously I would have been the one to end it,
but I was really really impressed that she took him on.
What she said exactly, oh boy, it's a really good
thing that he has such a great wife.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That's why those kids aren't totally screwed up.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You know. And I mean, we're sitting like one foot
behind this guy as he's seeing these things that have
a really mean tinge to him, and then he's using
the F word over and over again. He's got his
kids sitting right next to him. But she she took
him on in a very classy kind of way, and
and I was just very proud of her and and
(32:08):
kind of settled them down for two or three minutes.
But Justin and Littleton, you're on the Dan Kaplo Show.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
We obviously we've still got to be extremely grateful that
Prime came here to see you.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Program is soaring.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Lots of good things have happened, more to come, but yeah,
tough one on Saturday, Justin, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 10 (32:29):
Must have been a long dribeck.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
You know. We ended up having to fly because of
some work stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
But but I was so proud of the fans that
playing was packed with CU fans the next morning at
nine am and they were all in their SeeU gear
and everything else.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
I was. I was very proud of that.
Speaker 10 (32:46):
Their marketing is doing good this year. Mor Mar, there's
some a lot of jerseys. But on the know, we're
talking about here, where is our view state?
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Right?
Speaker 10 (32:57):
And why don't we have ice? Put on anonymous the
tip line to every police dispatcher. The guy's the book
in the jail, and then all of a sudden you
get you know, what's his name will be out at tennym.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
On this day.
Speaker 10 (33:11):
Here's his record. It's not an official communication, it's a
tip or something like that. Yeah, on the guy walked
out of jail. They just happen to run into.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Justin great thinking on your part.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
The problem is it would violate Colorado law because the
left in Colorado in their infinite.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
Lack of voicetom policy. No, it's the law.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now you've you've got a state law
there and so that that's why you won't have any
of that. But but yeah, but but you know, obviously
you're going to have Trump with the full support of
the American people. We're going to talk about it more
at five oh six. Thank you for your call, my friend.
The polling that came out that has Trump favorability now
(33:50):
up nineteen points, it's what fifty eight fifty eight percent
approval maybe fifty nine percent approval since election day, and
it's not like he's had a lot of media treatment
since election date. So you know that that may be
an even bigger mandate than winning the popular vote in
the three hundred and twelve Electoral College votes. The man
(34:11):
has that the clear direction of the American people, who
by overwhelming numbers support a mass deportation of everybody here illegally.
Trump's just saying he's focused on those who are here
committing other crimes or have been adjudicated and ordered to leave.
Sarah and Brighton, you're on the Dan kaplash'll welcome Hi Dan.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Living the dream? How about you?
Speaker 7 (34:33):
The same same happy Thanksgiving you?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Also, I just have a question.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
I got in on you late today. But as the
Dender Police Union said, anything about this crazy talk from
the you know insurrection, I don't think we've.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Seen a statement chatting to hear.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, it really would be. And thank you for the reminder.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
We'll try tomorrow's see if we can get somebody on
and get a statement.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
So yeah, well a lot of us, you know, I've
got a kid at the un suits and uh, I'm
scared to up.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
What's these killers?
Speaker 7 (35:14):
You know whatting.
Speaker 10 (35:15):
Happened through us?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, because understand Sarah. Sorry, we're at the
end of the hour.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Clearly, the left in Colorado cares more about the folks
here illegally than the folks here legally. They don't care
about the next Lake and Riley, they don't care about
any of that. We've just got to vote them out
here on the Dan Capitla Ship,
This is Dan Caplis, 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. How ironic, how
telling that at the very same time America is saved today.
It's official, right, it's official. These federal cases against President
(00:25):
Trump where the ruling party sought to jail a political
opponent so that he could not beat them on election
day because the Biden administration knew Trump was going to
beat them on election day. So just like the New
York's charade, just like these federal cases at this was
the single greatest threat to the foundation of this nation. This,
(00:46):
this Lawfair, this Banana republic bs, the single greatest threat
to this nation since the Cuban missile crisis. We cannot
be defeated from the outside. We cannot be We can
only be defeated from the inside. Kind of lawfair the
single most dangerous threat to the stability and to the
ongoing success of the nation. So thank god, once again,
(01:09):
the voters saved America, just like they did in sixteen.
Because if Trump doesn't win in sixteen, that then you've
got a US Supreme Court with instead of Gorsich and
Amy Conne Barrett and Justice Kavanaugh. You know, you have
three very liberal justices legislating from the bench, and we
no longer have a democracy because every major issue is
decided as a matter of constitutional law or alleged constitutional law.
(01:34):
This time around, if the American people don't elect Donald Trump,
then lawfair prevails in this country as we know it
is done.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We're a banana republic.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
And so once again, the American people save America by
electing Donald Trump. And what a sweet thing and how
ironic it comes at the same time that the mayor
of Denver, the mayor of Denver has been openly calling
for an insurrection, because that's what he's calling for rights.
That's what we talked about the day the story broke
last week, openly calling for an insurrection. When he talks
(02:07):
about using the great men and women of DPD, misusing them, illegally,
using them to go out and take on federal law enforcement,
to stop federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law. That's
a real insurrection, not the phony insurrection charges against Trump.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
What Mike Johnston called for is a real insurrection.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So think about how this has come full circle, right
and who the lawless ones are. The modern Democratic Party is,
in many different ways just blatantly lawless eight f five
four zero five eight two five five. The number one
prominent individual has come around to agree with us on that.
(02:48):
I won't say he came around, he just voiced it later.
That's Senator Ran Paul.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
The mayor of Denver.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
If he's going to resist federal law, which there's a
longstanding history of the Supper. I go to a federal law,
he's going to resist that, it will go all the
way to Supreme Court, and I would suspect that he
would be removed from office. I don't know whether or
not there'd be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Federal law, but he will lose.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
And people need to realize that what he is offering
is a form of insurrection where the states resist the
federal government. Most people objected to that and rejected that
long ago. So I think the mayor of Denver is
on the wrong side of history, and really I think
will face legal ramifications if he doesn't obey the federal law.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
He is on the wrong side of history. It's very
much like the segregationists. Remember the George Wallaces that those
evil cowards down in the South who stood in the
schoolhouse door to try to stop the federal government from
enforcing federal law and integrating schools. Mike Johnston's putting himself
in that same category. Oh no, no, he's going to
(03:52):
he's with all this crime we have and I know
it's a relatively small percentage of the folks here illegally,
but for American City, since you cannot justify one American
woman being raped by somebody who shouldn't even be in
the country legally when we have control of our borders
if we want to, you cannot justify one murder. You
cannot justify one person killed by a driver on the
(04:14):
road who shouldn't be here legally, let alone what Mike
Johnston and Left seeks to do, which is to through
being a sanctuary city quote unquote, protect those who are
already in the criminal justice system. And that's what Donald
Trump is focused on. He wants to come to Colorado
and round up those who have already been in the system,
or they committed serious crimes where they came from.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Or the courts have already said you got to go home.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But Mike Johnston is going to commit an insurrection to
stop that. Think about that. That's as bad as what
we saw down in the Deep South, where people tried
to stop the federal government from enforcing federal law in
the interest of civil rights. Because guess what, American citizens
have civil rights too, and that includes the right to life,
(05:01):
that includes the right not to be raped, the right
not to be murdered. But Mike Johnston is so concerned,
so concerned about preserving that absolutely pure sanctuary city status
that he would and has actually threatened an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Eight five for zero five eight two five five, Which
leads to the question should he be recalled. I don't
know if Frian Schuling talked about that in his great
show because I've been busy in my law practice, but
I have very strong feelings on that. Eight five for
zero five eight two five five techs DA N five
seven seven three nine. I know that there's been a
lot of chatter on social et cetera about recalling Mike Johnston.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Where do you come down on that, my friend?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
More importantly, the way I come down on it is
Valdimar Archiletta was with me here in studio during the
program that you mentioned, and thank you for mentioning it,
saying that they're in the exploratory phase of determining whether
they can gather enough signatures, what the procedural aspect of
it would be, who they might suggests replacing him with.
So the gears are in more motion at least than
(06:03):
the initial stages of it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, and listen, I respect the thought behind it, because
what Johnston's doing is it's already so dangerous. As we
talked about last week when the story broke quite a second,
when Mike Johnston comes out and villainizes federal law enforcement
like that, we have all these great federal US marshalls
in Colorado, we have all these great federal we have ice,
(06:26):
we have all these great federal law enforcement officers, let alone,
you know, when you have others deputized to serve that role.
Mike Johnston comes out and vilifies them to the point
of saying, Hey, fifty thousand people in the streets, it'll
be like Tieneman Square to resist these federal officers. And
then he's going to use DPD to go out and
physically block them. He just puts a big target on
(06:47):
their back. Mike Johnston knows that in large part because
of the left's hate of law enforcement, there are a
lot of wackos out there. There are a lot of
wackos out there who just hate cops, and it doesn't
take much to trigger one. And so when the mayor
of Denver comes out and he actually labeled he talked about,
and I'm paraphrasing, invasion, invasion. If Trump was to deputize
(07:10):
National Guard from other states to come in and execute
federal law, that they would be invaders. You talk about
danger creation and enhancing the danger to federal law enforcement officers,
which he has already accomplished just by threatening this insurrection
and calling for fifty thousand people to take to the
streets to stop federal law enforcement from executing the laws.
(07:33):
And understand within that Johnston never even claimed that they
be violating the law. No, this is just to stop
federal law enforcement from executing federal law, enforcing federal law.
But that's why I say, I completely respect the motivation
the intent of anybody who wants to do a recall,
I would just strongly advise against it because they almost
(07:55):
never work.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So what you end up happen. Having happened, then is
you have.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
A lot of good people doing a lot of work
and spending a lot of time and a lot of
money on something that's very justified because of the wrongdoing
being done by the officeholder. But those resources are virtually
certain to be wasted in the end because these recalls
are so hard to pull off. So that's my reluctance there,
(08:20):
And it comes back to throwing, you know, smart punches,
not wild punches. But I completely respect the motivation and
if they go down that road, give him every minute
airtime they want to try to pull it off. Because
Mike Johnston should not be in office once he crossed
that line and he promised an insurrection and he called
for tens of thousands to take the street to stop
(08:42):
law enforcement from enforcing the law. Yeah, he should not
be in office, but he will remain in office. And
so now the point is that the people of Denver,
I think are soon going to realize if the media
reports this fairly at all the harm Mike Johnston has
done to the people of Denver, Because, as I pointed
(09:03):
out at the time this story broke, I mean, you
really think this is going to help Denver, get federal funding.
Taunting President Trump this way, you're going to defy the
law and send your law enforcement out to take on
his law enforcement. And it virtually guarantees that Trump's efforts
are going to start here, which they probably were anyway
through quote Operation Aurora. So do you think Mike Johnston
(09:25):
should be recalled? We'll have some more hot sound on this,
and of course that the big breaking news of the
day just as we hit air, the judge has dismissed
without prejudice. I'll explain what that means. The federal charges
against Trump. A great day for America. There should be
church bells ringing everywhere. The voters have once again saved
this country. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Oh Man, a.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Message for Mike Johnson and others have similar ilk.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
And for those mayors and those governors who say they're
going to stop me from stop Ice from doing the job,
stop me from doing this job. Listen to Lake and
Riley tape. Listen to the seventeen minutes of this girl suffering,
fighting for her life, fighting for her breath.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
This little girl didn't.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Want to die. She fought like hell and listen to
that tape that happens every day across this country in
the hands of an illegal alien.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
But the Mike Johnston's of the world apparently don't care
about that at all. Think about what he's doing, and
he knows that he's a smart guy, a s'morn smart
person doing moronic things, but he does it for a
reason selfish political reasons, right, Because you think Mike Johnston
cares at all about the next Lake and Riley, or
about what you think, or I think, or Denver voters think,
of course not. I think what Mike Johnston cares about
(10:39):
is what the billionaire class who's going to decide who
Denver's next governor, is what they think. Because I believe
Mike Johnston thinks that as long as he's got the
billionaire class from whatever states they come from, and he's
got the money, and he's got the money to steamroll
the primary, just like Jared Poliss. Did you know when
when Polist started winning, that's all that's going to matter
(11:01):
because if you win the Democrat primary, then you win
the general. I think that's Mike Johnston's thinking. But if
he's thinking about or cares about Lake and Riley or
the next Lake and Riley. Unfortunately, we've had plenty of
those innocent victims killed in horrific ways in Colorado. If
he's thinking about that, that then he must realize that
(11:24):
when he comes out and says something as preposterous as
openly calling for an in promising an insurrection, Yeah, he's
going to use DPD to go out to the county
line to stop federal law enforcement. He wants fifty thousand
in the streets. Compares it to Tanneman Square. He knows
that is the single biggest magnet. It's the single biggest
(11:46):
magnet he could possibly construct. Remember the old superconductor when
they were going to build the superconductor and it was
going to be this miles and miles wide circle and
generate all of this phenomenal scientific effect. Mike Johnston knows
by making those public statements he has built the biggest,
most powerful magnet humanly possible to attract not only folks
(12:09):
up from south to the border to Denver, but can
you imagine all the folks in the surrounding states, you know,
who've come to the country legally and then they're concerned
about Holy Cow law is going to be enforced. Now
Trump's coming, where do I go, Well, the merit Denver
is going to protect me. He's going to put fifty
thousand in the streets to protect me. He's going to
(12:29):
call out his police department to protect me.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Of course you're going to Denver.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Mike Johnston knew that when he said what he said,
he wants folks who are in the country illegally to
come here. Clearly he does. Now we can talk about
why you think he wants that, and I'd love to
know your thoughts. D an five seven seven three nine,
or if you're a throwback like me, call the show
We Love Callers eight five five four zero five eight
(12:56):
two five five to number. Why do you think he
wants folks who are in the country illegally to come here?
And listen, he knows that that along with a majority
who are going to be otherwise law abiding, just trying
to make a better life, but still having an effect
on resources that Denver can't handle. That you're going to
(13:17):
have a certain percentage who are hard in criminals. That
that's just the reality when the border has been left
wide open and people have entered unvetted. He knows that
he knows that the horrible, horrible crimes that have been
committed here by some, certainly not all of.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
The folks here illegally. He knows that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So why is he going out of his way to
say the things that are most likely to attract more
folks illegally.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
To come to Denver. Why do you think he's doing that?
But make no mistake, he is doing that. A five
for zero five, A two five five.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Let me get to some of those DA N five
seven seven thirty nine texters, Dan, I wonder how many
of any Denver police officers that are bay Johnson's unlawful
order to block federal officers attempting to enforce immigration laws.
My guess is probably a grand total of none. I mean,
first of all, yeah, my dad was a cop for
(14:12):
thirty years.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I know cops.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I represent a lot of cops in their civil injury cases.
They sign up to enforce the law not violated. Second,
you know, cops want to go home to their families.
They don't want to end up facing federal charges. And
cops are really smart and they understand the law. Federal
law preempts here, federal law controls. So you know, Mayor
(14:38):
of Denver tells you to go out and fight federal
forces to stop them from enforcing federal law. I think
the number would probably be zero. If a number could
be less than zero, I think it'd be less than zero.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt we're going to find out,
because I think Mike Johnston's goal in promising an interaction
(14:58):
insurrection and saying that things that he did, I think
Mike Johnston's goal was to raise a lot of billionaire
class money for Mike Johnston in his run for governor.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I think that was his goal.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't think he ever had any intention of actually
doing it, because he knows he'd end up in a
jail cell, and I don't think he wants to go
to jail. So I think what he did was he
went out of his way to attract illegals to Denver.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Check that box succeeded.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
On behalf of whatever far left billionaire supporters that appeals to,
and he gathered more attention for himself and his run
for governor. And you know, in terms of the effect
on the rest of people Colorado, because it will attract
it must attract many more illegals to Denver.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It has to I mean, what would you.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Do if you're here illegally and you're in any of
these surrounding states. You get to Denver as quickly as
you could, because the mayor's going to protect you there.
Dan doesn't everything the Colorad Supreme Court and Secretary of
Status set about leaders that call for a cause of insurrection?
Haven't they already said that in Colorado? They don't even
deserve to be on the ballot. Excuse me, I know
(16:12):
that sounded great in your radio, right Sorry? Ye now Here,
he has not actually, at this point led an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
He hasn't actually ordered the police to do that.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And because his statement did not occur at a moment
when a large number of people, say, might be mobilized
to go out and oppose federal law enforcement, there wouldn't
be a crime at this point, and so I wouldn't
expect any legal action along those lines to succeed. Now,
clearly he has promised an insurrection, and that is at
(16:49):
the very least ironic, particularly given how the phony insurrection
charges that the left waged against Trump. And I don't
know about Johnston's exact statements on that, but I imagine if
we go back and research it, we'd probably find he
was part of that howling pack and mob.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, that it's.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Actually Johnston calling for an insurrection, and he's not the
only lefty to do so.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Schumer did it openly.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I want to tell you, Gorzatz, I want to tell
you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And you will pay the price.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
You won't know what hit you if you go forward
with these awful decisions.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Another classic, clear example of a call for an insurrection,
a threat by name to Supreme Court justice as an
equal branch of government, that they will face violence if
they don't rule the way the Senate wants them to rule.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
That a Senate leader wants him to roll. That's insurrection.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Mike Johnston promising to send law enforcement out to physically
stop federal law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
That's insurrection.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So, yeah, should he be recalled Texter, Dan absolutely, maryor
Johnson should be recalled. Every Mike Johnson across the country
should be recalled. He doesn't even qualify for Dan Kaplis's
moron status.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That from Ralph.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So when we come back, we'll take a few more
texting calls on that. I do want to dig a
little bit deeper into and enjoy, enjoy just the wailing
from the left and this very important victory for America
today when these BS insurrection charges against Trump have finally
been dismissed.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
We'll dig deeper into that here on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
You're listening to the Dan Caplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Senator Rand Paul, the mayor of Denver.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
If he's going to resist federal law, which there's a
long standing history of the supremacy of federal law, he's
going to resist that, it will go all away to
Supreme Court, and I would suspect that he would be
moved from office. I don't know whether or not there'll
be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting federal.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Law, but he will lose.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
And people need to realize that what he is offering
is a form of insurrection where the states resist the
federal government. Most people objected to that and rejected that
long ago. So I think the mayor of Denver is
on the wrong side of history, and really I think
will face legal ramifications if he doesn't obey the federal law.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Beautifully said, I think my favorite tweet on all of
this was from Donald Trump Junior, and this account and
wokeness shared a clip, a clip I'm about to play
for you of Johnston saying he did not fear arrest,
and Donald Trump Junior reposted the clip with the comment quote,
(19:48):
your terms are acceptable.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
So I love that. I love that. Yeah, eight f
five for zero five eight two five.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's fascinating to me that the same level that has
now fully invested in false charges, phony charges, politically motivated
charges to try to jail political opponent they can't beat
at the polls, knowing that such law fare is one
of the very few things that could destroy this country,
because we can only be destroyed from the inside. So
(20:19):
the same left that has done this now assumes that
they're going to continue to be immune from having the
laws applied to them, because we've seen a lot of
this right where in lefty controlled jurisdictions, these lefty activists,
including politicians, just assume that the law doesn't apply to them.
(20:41):
They're not going to be prosecuted for breaking the law.
They're just going to go prosecute people for not breaking
the law. But maybe it's starting to dawn on them
that just because Donald Trump has said that as he
should say that no, no, no, no no, his revenge
is going to be success. He's not interested in personal revenge,
(21:02):
nor should he be, and it would be an absolute
crime if the GOP engaged in the same kind of
lawfair that the Democrats have, which is charges being brought
for purely political motivations, often charges that have no basis no.
That would be wrong whether a Republican does it or
a Democrat does it. On the other hand, when you've
(21:23):
got Democrats, including elected Democrats, clearly breaking the law in
ways that cause real harm, the law has to be
applied equally to them. It doesn't mean they get some
get out of jail for free card for life if
they're clearly breaking the law in a way that anybody
(21:45):
would be prosecuted for, whether Republican or Democrat. So maybe
Mike Johnston realized that in the middle of this play
of his it had to be one of two things,
right Ryan, as we go back to our Texters, It
either had to be what's most likely, which is just
Johnston basically setting his hair on fire and running around
(22:05):
naked in order to attract the attention of the billionaire
class on the far left because he needs their money
to get elected governor in Colorado, which is what he's
been running for all long, even as he was running
for mayor. The problem he is right now is that
the support appears to be consolidating around Wiser. So I
think what happened here is Johnston had to do something insane,
(22:26):
just crazy insane to get some attention.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Do you think that.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Helps him with the far left elements, even here in Colorado,
which they are very strong?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
My lord, Yes, they're so whack. I mean, look at
Kamala Harris, right, they are so whack. Yeah, and that's
where a lot of this huge money is. They're still
totally whack. And they think just because Johnston kind of
looks like a boy next door, that he can get
away with being whack. And so far they've been right, right,
(22:55):
he got elected mayor of Denver and the Democrats you
agree with this, Ryan, Oh, Democrats just assume whoever wins
their primary will be governor of Colorado.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
They don't think any Republican can beat them.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Well, not only that, it's interesting to I think they're wrong, Dan,
because I don't see Phil Wiser tacking toward the middle here.
He just went on with Joy Reid on MSNBC, basically
singing out of the same hymnal was Johnston on this, right, But.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It wasn't the get naked like your hair on fire
stuff that Johnston did, right and quite Yeah, So Wiser
is a smart guy who's trying to operate in channels here, right.
So you go on with Joy Reid and you say
some crazy stuff, but it's not calling for an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
So that's what my.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Personal opinion as to what's going on here and those dynamics.
I think it's the same reason that you saw the
media go hard after Jenna Griswold. I think the powers
that be on the left want Wiser and they need
to get rid of Griswold because she's female, and it
points out how hypocritical they are. They talk all this
(24:02):
DEI stuff, but every big job goes to a boring,
old white guy, So they need to get Griswold out
of there before she can remind everybody of that hypocrisy.
And so I think that's what the media blast on
Griswold was.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But we shall see.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
We'll see if she still runs et cetera eight five
five zero five eight two five five the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
But one thing we know for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Is that by calling promising this insurrection and I'll get
to these comments now where he pulls a little MJ
meaning Michael Jackson, Mike Johnston moonwalk, he's put federal law
enforcement in a lot more danger in Colorado because while
and you know, I'm speaking through the eyes of some
(24:48):
deranged wacko out there. Boy, yeah, Oh, the mayri of
Denver thinks they're invaders. The mayor of Denver wants Denver
police to go out and fight him, so I suare
hand kind of mentality. So he's already put federal law
enforcement in more danger. And he's sure as hell one
thousand percent guaranteed, has immediately attracted many, many, many more
(25:11):
folks here illegally to Denver, because that's where you'd go,
right That's where any intelligent, any intelligent, whether otherwise law
abiding or otherwise a criminal illegal, would go right now
as Denver, because the mayor is going to send the
police out to fight the Feds to stop them from
getting me.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Of course they're going to come here, Dan.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
When the deportations start and federal funding is cut off,
where do you think Denver mayor and the governor think
they're going to get the money to support their favorite illegals.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
You can bet in their minds they think.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
The Colorado taxpayers will happily pay more fees to fit
the bills. Sarah Sarah, I don't think they care about
any of that stuff. I think that all Johnston and police, etc.
Care about is pleasing the hardcore far left billionaire class
that controls the modern Democratic party. Elite decides who wins primaries,
(26:02):
you know, who gets elevated to various seats, et cetera.
Now polists can do a lot of self funding, but
these billionaires it is purely totally unlimited. Let's get to
some of that. Walk back here. This happened three or
four days after the original promise of insurrection. Here is
Mike Johnston, and I think it's kusa.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Are you open to sending Denver police officers to the
county line to stop federal forces or National guardsmen from
other states from coming into Denver?
Speaker 9 (26:32):
We have no plan to do that, and we really
hope that we don't ever.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Have to do that. I have no plan. Are you
open to?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Well, we're going to do right now? It's hard to
keep an eye on what the preacher president actually plans
to do. And what the proposal actually is.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
It sounds to me like you're walking back to comments
from a couple of days ago, saying that you would
be willing to send Denver police officers. Do you regret
making those comments and now getting questions like.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
This, Would I have taken it back if I could? Yes,
I probably wouldn't have used that image, because I don't
that's the image I hope we can avoid. What I
was trying to say is this is an outcome I
hope we can avoid in this country.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
I think none of us want to. You talk about
civil disobedience. You've mentioned that a couple of times now.
Would you be willing to participate in those? As the
mayor of Denver? Would you be willing to go out
and protest these things?
Speaker 9 (27:11):
I would if I believe that our residents are having
their rights violate. If I think things are happening that
are illegal or immoral or an American in our city,
I would certainly protest it, and I would expect other
residents would do the same way.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
So when you listen to that, he's not really taking
it back. He's just saying he wished he hadn't used
those words. Then he's not saying he isn't going to
do it. When you listen to that, and we'll play
it again, here's a little bit more of that.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Trump's new boarders are.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Tom Homan has said that he is willing to arrest
leaders like yourself for standing in the way of these
policies that they want to enact. Would you be willing
to go to jail for these things?
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Yeah, I'm not afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Finally, something we can agree on, right because listen, this insidious,
politically motivated lawfare waged by the Democrats, something the GOP
should never do. If you get a mayor like Johnston
who decides to pull an insurrection and decides to go
out through his police department, himself, whatever, and try to
(28:16):
prevent federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law, yeah, the
law should be applied properly against him and anybody else
would be arrested for that. So yeah, I'm not wishing
that on Mike Johnston, but he's apparently wishing it on himself.
Maybe that's his play to become governor. Right to break
(28:36):
through what appears to be this wiser lead on the nomination,
Johnston wants to be put in jail by the Trump
administration becomes some kind of hero. But I sure hope
somebody asks him along the way, why do you care
about folks here illegally more than you care about the
folks here legally, because clearly he does. You're on the
(28:58):
Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast where you're.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Open to sending Denver police officers to the county line
to stop federal forces or National guardsmen from other states
from coming into Denver.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
We have no plan to do that, and we really
hope that we don't ever have to do that.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yes, doesn't say he isn't going to, so he hasn't
really backed off that wild So how poetic. Right at
the very same time in history, where the Biden administration
finally has to dismiss the bs federal charges that were
always politically motivated, designed to jail a political opponent they
(29:37):
knew they couldn't beat at the polls, had to dismiss
it today, and the judge signed off on it without prejudice,
meaning in theory the charges could be brought again after
Trump's presidency.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Everybody knows there's zero chance of that happening.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Then, at the very same time of that, we have
Denver's mayor openly calling for an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
We talked about it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Last week and he didn't back off it there, he
didn't promise not to do that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So think about how.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
We've come full circle from the pursuit of a prosecution
that was Banana Republic stuff never should have been brought
to Denver's mayor brazenly coming out and promising an insurrection
if Trump enforces federal law. And by the way, in
the middle of that, and you never hear Johnston say, oh,
(30:22):
because it would be illegal for Trump to do that.
Now it's just because Johnston doesn't like it. As we
go to the phone lines, I want to thank Ryan
for filling it. On Friday, Amy and I made the
trek to Kansas City to watch the buff game. Obviously
a sad, disappointing loss. And that's just sports, right if
you won every single game and it just get boring,
you take the good with the bad, and that's just
(30:44):
sports at every level. But extraordinarily proud of my wife,
and I always am right, but it's like every day
she gives me a new fresh reason to be proud
of her. Ryan, you have to picture this as I
go to the phone lines. We're in Arrowhead Stadium. We're sitting,
you know, in an area behind the buff bench, and
there are some fans around us from I assume that
(31:07):
area who are very supportive of the Kansas team. And
there are many great Kansas fans just tremendously well behaved,
et cetera. But there were a couple who were really
getting out of line in very personal ways toward coach
Prime and certain buffs. And my wife took this guy on,
(31:29):
And obviously I would have been the one to end it,
but I was really really impressed that she took him on.
What she said exactly, oh boy, it's a really good
thing that he has such a great wife.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That's why those kids aren't totally screwed up.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You know. And I mean, we're sitting like one foot
behind this guy as he's seeing these things that have
a really mean tinge to him, and then he's using
the F word over and over again. He's got his
kids sitting right next to him. But she she took
him on in a very classy kind of way, and
and I was just very proud of her and and
(32:08):
kind of settled them down for two or three minutes.
But Justin and Littleton, you're on the Dan Kaplo Show.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
We obviously we've still got to be extremely grateful that
Prime came here to see you.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Program is soaring.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Lots of good things have happened, more to come, but yeah,
tough one on Saturday, Justin, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 10 (32:29):
Must have been a long dribeck.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
You know. We ended up having to fly because of
some work stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
But but I was so proud of the fans that
playing was packed with CU fans the next morning at
nine am and they were all in their SeeU gear
and everything else.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
I was. I was very proud of that.
Speaker 10 (32:46):
Their marketing is doing good this year. Mor Mar, there's
some a lot of jerseys. But on the know, we're
talking about here, where is our view state?
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Right?
Speaker 10 (32:57):
And why don't we have ice? Put on anonymous the
tip line to every police dispatcher. The guy's the book
in the jail, and then all of a sudden you
get you know, what's his name will be out at tennym.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
On this day.
Speaker 10 (33:11):
Here's his record. It's not an official communication, it's a
tip or something like that. Yeah, on the guy walked
out of jail. They just happen to run into.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Justin great thinking on your part.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
The problem is it would violate Colorado law because the
left in Colorado in their infinite.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
Lack of voicetom policy. No, it's the law.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now you've you've got a state law
there and so that that's why you won't have any
of that. But but yeah, but but you know, obviously
you're going to have Trump with the full support of
the American people. We're going to talk about it more
at five oh six. Thank you for your call, my friend.
The polling that came out that has Trump favorability now
(33:50):
up nineteen points, it's what fifty eight fifty eight percent
approval maybe fifty nine percent approval since election day, and
it's not like he's had a lot of media treatment
since election date. So you know that that may be
an even bigger mandate than winning the popular vote in
the three hundred and twelve Electoral College votes. The man
(34:11):
has that the clear direction of the American people, who
by overwhelming numbers support a mass deportation of everybody here illegally.
Trump's just saying he's focused on those who are here
committing other crimes or have been adjudicated and ordered to leave.
Sarah and Brighton, you're on the Dan kaplash'll welcome Hi Dan.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Living the dream? How about you?
Speaker 7 (34:33):
The same same happy Thanksgiving you?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Also, I just have a question.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
I got in on you late today. But as the
Dender Police Union said, anything about this crazy talk from
the you know insurrection, I don't think we've.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Seen a statement chatting to hear.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, it really would be. And thank you for the reminder.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
We'll try tomorrow's see if we can get somebody on
and get a statement.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
So yeah, well a lot of us, you know, I've
got a kid at the un suits and uh, I'm
scared to up.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
What's these killers?
Speaker 7 (35:14):
You know whatting.
Speaker 10 (35:15):
Happened through us?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, because understand Sarah. Sorry, we're at the
end of the hour.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Clearly, the left in Colorado cares more about the folks
here illegally than the folks here legally. They don't care
about the next Lake and Riley, they don't care about
any of that. We've just got to vote them out
here on the Dan Capitla Ship,
