Speaker 1 (00:00):
KRFX HD two Denver kW Denver. They say six thirty
kow Denver's talk stationn iHeartRadio station, guaranteed human.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The American way is, we don't run.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And I've got some really interesting fresh stuff for you today.
I want to start with President Trump. You've probably heard
the story by now. I know they did a touch
in the National newscast, but I want to get you
into some of the details as reported by the Washington Post,
and so far none of those details have been refuted
by the White House. And so that the gist of
(00:36):
the story you already know, right, which is that the
President's leaving Turkey on July eighth, the night before he's
authorized more major strikes against the Iranian regime. And so
there's a credible threat against Air Force One, and obviously
Turkey shares a border with Iran, so that that threat
has to be taken very very seriously. So what they
(00:56):
decide to do, according to the Washington Post, is decided
to have President Trump board the old legacy you know,
like blue and White air Force one, and board the
legacy air Force one rather than the new you know
seven forty seven eight that came in from Qatar and
I love that new paint job, by the way, But
(01:17):
rather than they take that back, he boards the Legacy
Air Force one. And then the reporting is that the
president took the Legacy Air Force one back, presumably because
it had more sophisticated safety features, even though it was
an older aircraft. So that's the story as reported. And
now the new development is that reportedly when the President
(01:40):
entered the Legacy Air Force one, he then went out
the other side.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Into a catering truck.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And I'm sure you've seen him on flights you've been on, right,
they come up as tall as the cabin and then
they just come in and off the plane with the food.
And he took a catering truck and then was loaded
onto a military aircraft and Air Force and then he
took that out of there. So that is the reporting
from the Washington Post. Washington Post also reporting that the
(02:10):
journalist in White House staffers remaining on Air Force one
were unaware that this had occurred and so raised all
sorts of interesting issues. First, when it gets to the
point where the leader of the free world has to
do that and listen, there could be no questioning Trump's
physical courage. I mean the man was willing to take
(02:31):
out terrorist General Solamani in order to protect our troops
and our homeland, knowing that would put a target on
his back, and he's, as he's acknowledged, possibly get him assassinated,
jeopardizing his family. He's shown great physical courage, but it's
also prudent and wise if you're in Trump's position, to
not let the evil people kill you.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So the maneuver itself.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I think it's got to make perfect sense to any
reasonable person. And then you get to these questions of
what about the people left on the jet. The left
is now trying to brand it the assassination jet, you know,
saying that it was immoral for the president to leave
the people on the jet, believing that it might then
be targeted by Iran or one of its proxies.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So how do you feel about that?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Should the people I'm sure everyone would agree the president
should have done what he did. If you disagree, hey
we'll send a Lemolet'll take your call or text first,
text us as you know at d an five seven
seven three nine three oh three seven one three eight
two five five the phone number. So what about the
people left on the plane? Do you think they should
(03:41):
have been told that there was a serious threat against
that aircraft, and again, the current reporting is that they
were not told. Now, listen, I would not be at
all surprised to learn that they had been that it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Had been implied.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
For example, I've heard some reporting that everybody was told
to lower their window shades because of security risks, et cetera.
Let's say that was the extent of the warning of
a threat. How do you feel about that? Never had
an issue like this come up before, So I'm really
anxious to get your take on this. Three at three seven, one, three,
(04:16):
two five five the number. What about legal liability? Let's
say that there had not been a direct warning of
any type to those remaining on the plane, if that
plane had been taken down? Do you think that there
would be legal liability on the part of the US
government that the president, acting in his official capacity, is
(04:36):
immunized governmental immunity in that situation. We've talked about the
Supreme Court cases before, and believe me, I think the
president should have total immunity complete one thousand percent there
in that situation. But what about the government itself? Yeah,
how do you feel about all that? Three or three
sevene three eight two five five. So we're going to
(04:56):
talk about that now a for perspective, Bill Clinton did
this himself back in two thousand on a flight to
Pakistan where he rode on a trail plane and then
popped out of it, you know, once they got back.
And there have been other times reportedly, and you would
have to bet right over the years where everybody thought
(05:17):
the president was on the.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Plane and he wasn't for security reasons.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So so Trump is not the first to do this,
but I'll tell you this, you know, throwing into the
mix that related question of again, when it gets to
the point where the leader of the free world is
forced to do this because that evil regime is that
determined to kill him. And at that point, what does
(05:41):
the United States of America need to do? I mean,
is a let's say that you can verify it, confirm
it that Iran has taken these affirmative steps to kill
our president, you know, or pick any other high official
Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
This is at that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I think there's a pretty credible argument that that should
be treated the same as an attack on our homeland.
What do you have to wait until it actually happens?
So all I can say is and then we'll start
taking the calls and take. All I can say is,
you would not want to be that evil Iranian regime
(06:22):
on November four. You really would not want to be,
because you know the significance of November four.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It's the day after the midterms.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And though it can change in the next five minutes,
it appears at this point that President Trump has made
a decision to allow this kind of humiliation of the
United States, you know, by this evil regime, to continue
through November third. But you would not want to be
that regime come November four, because I don't think there's
(06:53):
any scenario on the face of the earth other than
a legitimate, provable, fully enforceable, verifiable deal on all the
President Trump's terms that will prevent the president from disposing
of that regime after November thirty. Maybe I'm wrong about that,
(07:15):
but it does appear at this point as if he's
decided to decided to manage the situation until after the midterms.
As I've talked about before on the show, and we'll
go to the full lines, I think that regime is
determined not to let him do that, and I think
the regime in Iran will go as far as it
has to to force this president into a war before
(07:37):
the midterms, up to an including an attack on our homeland.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I think it will go as far as it has
to force that war. I hope I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You know, blessed are the peacemakers and you certainly obviously
peace through strength. In terms of deterrence, sometimes it has
to be peaced through violence, meaning legitimate, justified military action
in order to feed true evil as a last resort.
You hope that does not become necessary. But everything we've
(08:06):
seen from this regime, they are going to force it
no matter what extreme. They have to go to Bill
and Loveland. You're on the Dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Welcome. Are you living the dream? My friend? How about you?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Pread? So I've heard quite a few few people pontificating
about this today and today. I think the point of
this whole situation with the reporters is that.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
They cannot be trusted.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
So he couldn't tell them or notify them, because probably
he felt that they would have reached anything he told them.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Is there a chance the leak came from his own administration,
somebody who was really mad they were left on the plane.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I mean, I got to be as well I did do.
You never know who's in an administration. I would expect
that he trusts them more than the meat. You though
at this point.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Wait because Bill, here's what I think is going on,
and we're going to see it accelerate dramatically after the midterms.
I think you have some people inside the administration who
are starting to position themselves for the post Trump years,
and they're aware that there's a lot of hatred and
disdain out there for the president. So they're probably trying
(09:22):
to maneuver to get on the quote right side of
those who hate the president, even while they're still in
the administration. I think there's probably some of that going on.
And you know, listen, if somebody was left on that jet,
if you're part of that administration, you know there's a
serious enough threat you're going to stick the president in
a catering truck, and you are not told of that threat.
(09:43):
I could see somebody in the administration being so ticked
they just decided to leak it.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, I agree, and I can see where that can
happen and people get upset. I think, based upon everything
that we've saying that there's a lot of mistrust well
the media and also maybe even some people in his administration.
They're trying to read people out.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Still, yeah, and listen to media.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
We all know that that almost all of it's out
to get them, and so that's really really unfortunate. But
I could also see a scenario where even the most
loyal staff, or let's say it's somebody with young kids
and a wife at home or a husband at home,
and they're sitting on that flight and they're thinking, wait
(10:33):
a second, my boss left me here to take the bullet.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I wouldn't be shocked if it was that kind of scenario.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And listen, I am not faulting the Secret Service or
the president in this scenario. I mean, in this scenario,
anybody who gets on a plane with the president of
the United States, particularly to go to a place like
Turkey in the middle of a war, you know you're
taking a risk, and for the good of the nation,
the security of the president has to be paramount. And
(11:01):
if they all of a sudden empty that plane or
they don't launch that plane, then then all of a sudden,
if the president's being watched and emissions being carried out
by the regime, the Iranian regime. Then at that point,
the president's security is jeopardized. So I'm just saying the
fault in the end comes back to the evil regime,
and I don't think this president is going to allow
(11:23):
that evil regime to exist once we get past the midterms.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Maybe I'm wrong. You're on the dan CAplus.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Show that the virus stops with every vaccinated person. A
vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does
not infect them. The virus cannot then use that person
to go anywhere else. They cannot use a vaccinated person
(11:51):
as a host to go get more people. That means
the vaccines will get us to.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
The end of that es so arrogant, right, I mean,
but that's so typical of the left for a couple
of reasons. One is, and it's hard for you and
I wrap our minds around. But they just think less
of us. And the fascinating thing is that they're they're
so wrong on virtually everything. What would ever cause them
(12:21):
to think they're superior. I'd really love your take on that.
I spent a lot of time thinking about it. Not
because it makes med every now and then something they
do makes men, but it's more just intriguing to me
because they're so obviously wrong on so many big things.
Even the people on the left who are really like
gifted intellectually, they just choose to be wrong because they
(12:43):
let their ideology or this or that take over their intellect.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
But why do they.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Think they're superior to us? That That's always fascinated me.
But your strips right, you can just hear it in
her voice and listen. I was a guy who chose
eventually to get vexed, but I came on aeron and
just said, hey, you know, it's been what was it
about thirteen months at that time, after COVID first shut
(13:10):
us down in March of twenty and I went those
first thirteen months without a VACS and Degrae. Our office
was open, we doubled in size.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I flew thirty.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Times because Joe was working back in DC for I
think either Corey Gardner or a different senator at the time.
And never got it, but I, you know, then eventually,
you know, domestic pressure.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I got it got COVID two weeks later.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But I never went out and said, hey, you got
to get it too, or anything like that. I always
had total respect for people on both sides, whatever decision
they made, but just those who were so arrogant, and
my goodness, I.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Mean that the fact people were losing their.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Jobs over it, and you get pulled us out there
now parading around as mister freedom just absolutely shameless. I
think about the immorality of taking somebody's job because they
won't put that in their veins. Wow, I mean, that's
(14:12):
when you know, anybody who is willing to do that
from a policy standpoint, to force that on people, you know,
you lose your job if you don't put this medicine
into your body that I want you to take. That's
just such a profound level of immorality in my view,
and the law never really.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Caught up to it. But as we talked about at
the time, you know, you.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Look at American jurisprudence and you've got all of this
history of deferring to the government in emergencies, and that's
you know, of course, the big trap is that Left
saw that as their opportunity to set that precedent. As
long as Left declares an emergency, it doesn't matter if
the science lines up or not. The Left declares an emergency,
(14:56):
and then at that point all the constitutional rights are gone.
So that was a big challenge facing us during and
after COVID. You know, fortunately, you know, a lot of
good people fought the good fight individually, some real heroes
out there who decided to stand up, and then some
fought it in courtrooms, et cetera. And eventually, you know,
we're able to achieve enough legally that some of that
(15:18):
ground was retaken, and importantly.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
For the sake of the.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Left's effort to declare an emergency in every other area
they want to take your rights away, starting with guns.
You know, the breaks appear to it and put on that,
but they'll bring it back as soon as they can.
And speaking of our constitutional right to bear arms, our
personal right, you know, we sit here today as we
(15:43):
should thinking, hey, that's just deeply enshrined. It's correct, and
we're always going to have it. I mean, we're right
to think it's deeply enshrined, but so many people don't
realize or forget that we only have that right confirmed
by one vote, a one vote margin on the US
Supreme Court. And what's going to happen if if the
Left gets their way with the US Supreme Court, that'll
(16:03):
be one of the first rights to be stripped away
three out three seven three eight two five five d
A N five seven seven three nine. So we'll do
a deep dive on text in the next hour. I
want to touch on this e byke thing for a
second because it sets up another story.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
So many Colorados, you know, can't afford to pay and
then maybe get a rebate back with their taxes.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
This is point of sale.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
And we could combine this rebate with the state e
bike tax credit two hundred and twenty five dollars for
the retailers, the vast majority of the bike retailers to
participate in both.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'd love to get your take on this whole e
byke thing.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I mean, this whole business of you know, poll is
taking your money to buy somebody else and e byke.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
That's obviously loony, right, but it's just it's just.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
The you know, the various degrees of socialism and and yeah, listen,
taxing us and I am so grateful to live here,
and I'm so grateful to have a good paycheck, and
I have no problem in all, you know, paying my
taxes and my tax rate to support core government functions,
plus the safety net for those who truly can't support themselves.
(17:12):
But Jarrett pol is taking my money to buy somebody
else in e bike.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Now is that anything other than income redistribution.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Take my money for some poor guy who has some
major brain injury or dysfunction and can't support himself and
he needs government help to have a roof over his
head and to live. Take my money for that. Take
my money to build her own, but don't take my
money to buy somebody else an e bike.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
This whole socialism thing comes in so many different grades
and forms and images.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I mean a lot Cairos.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
She's the face of the GOPI pardon not the GOP,
and hopefully never the GOP. Maybe she'll have a conversion.
That can happen. We've seen so many of the rabbit abortionist,
even the ones who killed all those babies, end up
being pro life. Maybe she'll have that kind of road
to Damascus or road to Denver conversion.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Shannon's not betting on it. I'm not betting on it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
But yeah, so you've got the Democratic Party. It ranges
from the double middle finger Heiros to the Mike Johnston
softer socialism impression of come to Denver. We'll get you
home to Jared Poulis. Yeah, take Shannon Scott's money, shannonmore,
what do you work like four shifts? Yeah, take Shannon
Scott's money and buy this guy.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Over here in e bike. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Well, but I do want to talk to you about
this whole e bike phenomena because you've got a suburb
that's just banned it on a trail, and you've got
I mean it's it's exploded now, probably in your neighbor
at Channon, and you got all these little kids riding
around on motorcycles are like eight or nine.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
You know, where do you draw the line? You're on
the Dan Kaplis Show. Hey glad you're here. One of
the happiest days of the year for me.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
It is our daughter Caroline's birthday, and it is the
twenty sixth time I've said that on air. I heard
to believe Shannon, right, You remember she used to come
in here. She'd come in here and sing songs and
everything else is like a two or three year old,
and she was in here before then. So yeah, so
I cannot believe she's twenty six now, But what a
great kid.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And starts law school in a week.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
So we're gonna have fun tonight our our ultimate celebration place.
What's yours, Shannon? Do you have kind of like a
go to for these big events?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Well?
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I think we share this melting Pots big with the girls.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Six thirty tonight we will be a melting pot.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Nothing says fun like foot long forks in Hotawa.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Oh man, it is. That guy needs his own show.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
But there's so many different places you could take that,
but we're gonna take it to melting Pot.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah, and see if we can get from the table
to the car without having stop and rest on that
bench outside the front door, which we often do because
we just eat too much there.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
But the food's so good and it's also a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Three at three seve one three eight two five five
d A N five seven seven three nine. I do
want to get to some of these texts. I'm sorry
I've neglected it this far. Uh Dan, I don't think
the switch via the catering tuck should have ever been
made public. I would not want to be the driver
or crew of an Air Force one catering vehicle from
now on with that target on my back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Dan, this is a non issue.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Every person that got on that plane in an act
of war zone with the President who is a target.
Knew they were taking a risk. It is a secret
Service job to protect the president, not anyone else. They
could have chosen to fly commercially or stay home. I
agree one thousand percent with that text, saying what I
said earlier, just better than I said it. Dan, the
Nuggets just hired a male dancer, dancer, not a cheerleader.
(20:48):
You are gonna puke. You are gonna puke when you
see it. Drop your Nuggets promoting. Why would he say that?
What would make you think that aren't pew? When I
see a male dancing, I have to say, I've had
multiple people send me that picture of you seen a Channon.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You have not seen it.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
No, we had a male dancer for years at See
You and he was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, just a good dancer.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Oh he was great.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, like yeah, I mean, listen if it's John Travolta
or something.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But no, they that is so silly.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I mean, just the text. I'd love for this Texter
to call just to understand where he's coming from. I mean, listen,
I have my well raasoned positions on public policy, and
I stick by those. But in terms of respect for
gay people. I'm way ahead of the curve on that.
I mean, I had gay roommates back at CU Boulder
(21:45):
when that wasn't cool. There was a time at CU
Boulder when it was not cool for somebody to be
openly gay. I was student body president at CU Boulder
and I selected as my chief of staff an openly
gay guy named Walt Bloher, one of the greatest people
you will ever meet in your life. And you know
what when I got attacked up there, When I got
(22:08):
attacked up there by a radical student group, and they
were determined to do some serious damage. They put me
in the hospital, but they were determined to do some
more serious damage than that. One of my lasting images
is a bunch of my former football player friends diving
out the windows of the Glenn Miller Ballroom to get
away from the mop and there was one guy who
(22:30):
stood there trying to get him off me.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And it was Walt Bloher, at my gay chief of staff.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
So yeah, I know, you know, I bet Youannon, you'll
vouch for me. A lot of people listening right now
cannot imagine there was ever a time at CU Boulder
where it wasn't really cool to come out as openly gay,
but there was, and that was, you know, when I
was there a student body president. So yeah, all these
people that they just want to stereotype you because you're concervative.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And you believe, you know, in.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Certain policy positions, but in terms of actually loving people
and caring for people and showing respect. Yeah, I remember
when I was student by president.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Another time we're sitting there, No, I wasn't student.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I was on the student Senate and all the student
groups are coming in to present their budgets and I
see my then roommate coming in to present his budget.
I I didn't know he was coming in to present
a budget. I introduced everybody to him, and I say, hey, Matt,
what group are youre for?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
He said, gay Lib.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I had no idea the guy was gay until he
showed up at the student Senate to present the gay
lib budget.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Did I move out? No, it didn't bother me at all.
Didn't bother me one little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So yeah, it's just interesting how people are stereotyped the
nuggets having I'm not saying this guy's gay. I'm not
assuming for a second the male cheerleader is gay. And
if he is, yeah, I don't care. I don't do
you watch do you watch the cheerleaders closely? That's that's
(24:12):
a trick question, Channon. Sorry, I shouldn't have even asked it.
The Nuggets, by the way, have a phenomenal group of dancers.
I mean, they work incredibly hard. I know it because
when I was single, they used to work out at
the gym I worked out at at the time, and
they just they work really, really hard. They're just really
good at what they do. But I'm a happily married man.
(24:35):
I don't sit there and stare at the dancers the
way I would have when I was single, you know,
So I just it's, you know, no skin off my back.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah so.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
But if anybody wants to react to that this text
or not happy the Nuggets just hired a male dancer,
Dan says a texter at many events, isn't the ticket
to an event a you know, getting on air Force
one that you have signed a waiver because that thing
is always a target.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I agree one thousand percent.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
The reason we're talking about this, if you just joined,
is because you know the story by now, right Washing
Post reporting the president boarded the old legacy you know,
blue and white Air Force one out of Turkey, and
then the reporting was he was taking that because of
a threat, because it had more safety features. And then
he went through the new reporting, went through the plane
onto a catering truck and then off on another military aircraft.
(25:30):
And so somebody leaked off that plane or in the administration.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
And then the question is was it a reporter who
was on the plane.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Was it somebody in the administration who was ticked off
that they were left behind on a jet that at
that point was believed to be a pobble target. But
I completely agree with the analysis you get on Air
Force one. It is assumption of risk. You just you
just know there is danger that comes with that. I'd
get on it in a heartbeat. I would have got
(25:57):

that Ryan was so good at it. I won't take

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Okay, let's see.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Oh hey, this is a good suggestion I've thrown out
on the show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
And then we'll come back.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
And I do want to dive in to a bunch
of different stuff, including this Colorado Tesla driver blames the
car's autopilot for speeding. We'll talk about that post story
how that defense is going to work. Another Denver post story,
Terry Hills Village gets heat for its e byte band
on popular highline Canal trail. Where do you draw the
line now? On you know, you get some of these
(28:19):
e bikes that are going thirty thirty five miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Where do you draw the line there? But I do
appreciate this text.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Somebody says called doctor Fitzgerald at Alameda East VET, and
they were responding to what I was talking about on
here yesterday.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
We have this amazing, good hearted dog CALLI.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
She's thirteen now she's They call her an English cream
like a white gold and just sweetest dog in the world.
We bought her off the internet when Jet, our dog
died suddenly, and the kids were heartbroken.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
God lucky.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
She was a great dog, but now there's something going
on where now when no thunder, no lightning or anything,
she'll just start panicking. And Amy was back with Joe.
Joe graduated law school, now starting his first real job.
I shouldn't say first real job. He's had a lot
of real He's got a lot of real jobs, like
really hard, hard jobs. Sorry, Bud, I take that back.
(29:14):
But he's starting his first real law job. And Amy
was back with him. So it's just me and jat
Me and Kelly Jets the Dearly Departed. And then she
starts freaking, and you know, I'm in the bathroom doing
my business. She's clawing at the door to get in.
I take her out. She's nothing wrong with her. Then
I get into the shower.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
She hates water.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
She forces her way into the shower with me, and
she's standing there in the shower. So but I take
her out again, and she's not sick or anything. So
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with her.
So is that Kevin Fitzgerald, By the way, I wonder
at Elam to East Vet. I left to double check
because I know there was a Kevin Fitzgerald who was
a VET who I had heard a lot of great
things about three someone three eight, two, five, five, eight
(30:01):
and five seven, seven through nine when we come back lines,
filling up and what you'd expected to fill up on
the nuggets Adding a male dancer. You're on the Dan
Kapla show. I'm looking for the nuggets. Hire a male
dancer in news or sports? Where do you think they
put that one, Shannon, because we're getting a lot of
(30:23):
textile calls on it.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Lifestyle?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, man, you have to go through all these categories.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
James and Peblo. You're on the Dankapla.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
She'll welcome Hello, Dan, good to talk to you again
with which shot it before? Thank you earlier show and
I just listen every chance.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I guess so appreciate you. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Got a little funny story about it really comes down to,
you know, self expression. My brother was a My brother
was at the time. Then they just called the male cheerleaders. Yeah,
and I didn't really appreciate that until I was in
college and decided to take some dance classes for fitness,
(31:06):
and boy howdy, that was quite the experience. So I
can understand their physicality and just the uh, you know,
the self expression that goes into that. It's pretty awesome
but funny little story if you just got a minute.
As a as a straight heterosexual male, I never expected
to tick the box of anti uh, anti lgbt Q
(31:32):
hate and bigotry, but lo and behold, I did because
I hike in a kilt and I'm I'm hiking in
the mountains one day and this, uh, this car kind
of tries to run me off the road. And I
didn't think very much about it because I had my
headphones on and.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Was that there was a car on the hiking trail.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
It's a it's a dirt road. Dirt road. Yeah, I
didn't think very much about it. I just turned music down.
But I find out from my neighbor that that these
people believe that there's a giant, seven foot tall transsexual
man walking around the neighborhood in a dress, and they're
going to find him and run him out of town.
(32:16):
I'm like, well, I'm the only person that hikes in
a it would be considered a dress. I'm almost seven.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Tell yeah, you could do double duty for the nuggets.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Well, there you go, exactly. But so what I decided
to do was double down on this, and I tied
rainbow handkerchiefs all over my backpack and uh and a
purple rope around it. I thought that was kind of
fun and just kept on going. Of course, I did
start wearing a bulletproof vest because because the the the
(32:50):
group that was out that that was out there was
started to follow me home and stuff like that as
I was hiking.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
So did you attract any romantic interest?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Uh? No, I'm I'm not out there for romance. I
have a sweetheart and we're good. She actually cut the
she actually cut the handkerchiefs off my backpack, be says
she was so afraid that I was going to get hurt.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So you were just trying to tweak people.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I just decided to double down on people. People's insecurity. Yeah,
so wow, But you know, really, it's just.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Are you Scottish or Irish? By chance?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I'm just trying to picture this visual okated guy with
the kilt.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Does he look like you might be a bad type? Yes?
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I do have some Irish ancestry. But the funny thing
is I wear a tactical camouflage killed made by five
to eleven. And why maybe just because it's nice to
hike in and you get Uh, it's just it's just
relaxing and.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah, ventilation everything.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Why, well, there you go. Yeah you know why I
wear it killed is a long story. But maybe some
day time if we meet, well, I'll tell you about it,
but it may be.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Better over the phone.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Expression.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, so man, are you really almost seven feet tall?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
How much do you weighs? Wow? You a player? Did
you play something? No?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Martial arts?
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Actually? Okay, well yeah we're not want to match up? Yeah,
well what's your wingspan?
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Six foot seven man? Six feet seven across?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Mind me not to fight you.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Oh no, it's just just another guy.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Seven twitter with the six seven wingspan, and it killed.
I could see that ending badly.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Well, like there are there are plenty of.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Listeners and then some co hosts and stuff. You say, hey,
why don't we have a charity boxing match? But I
don't think I'm going to extend that offer to James
from Pueblo.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Yeah, well, you.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Know, what a great story. Thanks. Man.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
There's an old saying that you know, if if you
if you you choose piece, you better be ready for
something else. Otherwise you're just harmless. So I studied martial
arts all my life and and it's and it does
really really helped me in a lot of situations.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
So kind of peace through strength exactly.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah, hey, great call man, appreciate that. Yeah, that's why
I'll see that's Shannon. You feel the same way. Over
all these decades we've been doing this. It's just so cool,
this John, because then you're running all different sorts of folks.
That is a story I did not see coming today.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah. Have you ever worn a kilt? Shannon? Never want
a kilt?
Speaker 7 (35:38):
Once for Halloween decades ago.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
How to work out?
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Not good for the guests Halloween on the staircase.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Because Halloween's cold around here most times. Yeah, have never
worn one? You never worn one? You know, Amy and
I are going to a wedding this weekend. Great friends.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
It's I imagine there's a formal version of a kilt, right.
I don't know if you've seen this on the internet.
It's going absolutely viral, the wedding vows of a couple
and everybody's saying.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
This guy has toast. This marriage is going to fail.
Tell me if you think that's true. You're on the
Dan Kapli Show.
KRFX HD two Denver kW Denver. They say six thirty
kow Denver's talk stationn iHeartRadio station, guaranteed human.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The American way is, we don't run.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And I've got some really interesting fresh stuff for you today.
I want to start with President Trump. You've probably heard
the story by now. I know they did a touch
in the National newscast, but I want to get you
into some of the details as reported by the Washington Post,
and so far none of those details have been refuted
by the White House. And so that the gist of
(00:36):
the story you already know, right, which is that the
President's leaving Turkey on July eighth, the night before he's
authorized more major strikes against the Iranian regime. And so
there's a credible threat against Air Force One, and obviously
Turkey shares a border with Iran, so that that threat
has to be taken very very seriously. So what they
(00:56):
decide to do, according to the Washington Post, is decided
to have President Trump board the old legacy you know,
like blue and White air Force one, and board the
legacy air Force one rather than the new you know
seven forty seven eight that came in from Qatar and
I love that new paint job, by the way, But
(01:17):
rather than they take that back, he boards the Legacy
Air Force one. And then the reporting is that the
president took the Legacy Air Force one back, presumably because
it had more sophisticated safety features, even though it was
an older aircraft. So that's the story as reported. And
now the new development is that reportedly when the President
(01:40):
entered the Legacy Air Force one, he then went out
the other side.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Into a catering truck.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And I'm sure you've seen him on flights you've been on, right,
they come up as tall as the cabin and then
they just come in and off the plane with the food.
And he took a catering truck and then was loaded
onto a military aircraft and Air Force and then he
took that out of there. So that is the reporting
from the Washington Post. Washington Post also reporting that the
(02:10):
journalist in White House staffers remaining on Air Force one
were unaware that this had occurred and so raised all
sorts of interesting issues. First, when it gets to the
point where the leader of the free world has to
do that and listen, there could be no questioning Trump's
physical courage. I mean the man was willing to take
(02:31):
out terrorist General Solamani in order to protect our troops
and our homeland, knowing that would put a target on
his back, and he's, as he's acknowledged, possibly get him assassinated,
jeopardizing his family. He's shown great physical courage, but it's
also prudent and wise if you're in Trump's position, to
not let the evil people kill you.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So the maneuver itself.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I think it's got to make perfect sense to any
reasonable person. And then you get to these questions of
what about the people left on the jet. The left
is now trying to brand it the assassination jet, you know,
saying that it was immoral for the president to leave
the people on the jet, believing that it might then
be targeted by Iran or one of its proxies.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So how do you feel about that?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Should the people I'm sure everyone would agree the president
should have done what he did. If you disagree, hey
we'll send a Lemolet'll take your call or text first,
text us as you know at d an five seven
seven three nine three oh three seven one three eight
two five five the phone number. So what about the
people left on the plane? Do you think they should
(03:41):
have been told that there was a serious threat against
that aircraft, and again, the current reporting is that they
were not told. Now, listen, I would not be at
all surprised to learn that they had been that it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Had been implied.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
For example, I've heard some reporting that everybody was told
to lower their window shades because of security risks, et cetera.
Let's say that was the extent of the warning of
a threat. How do you feel about that? Never had
an issue like this come up before, So I'm really
anxious to get your take on this. Three at three seven, one, three,
(04:16):
two five five the number. What about legal liability? Let's
say that there had not been a direct warning of
any type to those remaining on the plane, if that
plane had been taken down? Do you think that there
would be legal liability on the part of the US
government that the president, acting in his official capacity, is
(04:36):
immunized governmental immunity in that situation. We've talked about the
Supreme Court cases before, and believe me, I think the
president should have total immunity complete one thousand percent there
in that situation. But what about the government itself? Yeah,
how do you feel about all that? Three or three
sevene three eight two five five. So we're going to
(04:56):
talk about that now a for perspective, Bill Clinton did
this himself back in two thousand on a flight to
Pakistan where he rode on a trail plane and then
popped out of it, you know, once they got back.
And there have been other times reportedly, and you would
have to bet right over the years where everybody thought
(05:17):
the president was on the.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Plane and he wasn't for security reasons.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So so Trump is not the first to do this,
but I'll tell you this, you know, throwing into the
mix that related question of again, when it gets to
the point where the leader of the free world is
forced to do this because that evil regime is that
determined to kill him. And at that point, what does
(05:41):
the United States of America need to do? I mean,
is a let's say that you can verify it, confirm
it that Iran has taken these affirmative steps to kill
our president, you know, or pick any other high official
Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
This is at that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I think there's a pretty credible argument that that should
be treated the same as an attack on our homeland.
What do you have to wait until it actually happens?
So all I can say is and then we'll start
taking the calls and take. All I can say is,
you would not want to be that evil Iranian regime
(06:22):
on November four. You really would not want to be,
because you know the significance of November four.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It's the day after the midterms.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And though it can change in the next five minutes,
it appears at this point that President Trump has made
a decision to allow this kind of humiliation of the
United States, you know, by this evil regime, to continue
through November third. But you would not want to be
that regime come November four, because I don't think there's
(06:53):
any scenario on the face of the earth other than
a legitimate, provable, fully enforceable, verifiable deal on all the
President Trump's terms that will prevent the president from disposing
of that regime after November thirty. Maybe I'm wrong about that,
(07:15):
but it does appear at this point as if he's
decided to decided to manage the situation until after the midterms.
As I've talked about before on the show, and we'll
go to the full lines, I think that regime is
determined not to let him do that, and I think
the regime in Iran will go as far as it
has to to force this president into a war before
(07:37):
the midterms, up to an including an attack on our homeland.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I think it will go as far as it has
to force that war. I hope I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You know, blessed are the peacemakers and you certainly obviously
peace through strength. In terms of deterrence, sometimes it has
to be peaced through violence, meaning legitimate, justified military action
in order to feed true evil as a last resort.
You hope that does not become necessary. But everything we've
(08:06):
seen from this regime, they are going to force it
no matter what extreme. They have to go to Bill
and Loveland. You're on the Dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Welcome. Are you living the dream? My friend? How about you?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Pread? So I've heard quite a few few people pontificating
about this today and today. I think the point of
this whole situation with the reporters is that.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
They cannot be trusted.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
So he couldn't tell them or notify them, because probably
he felt that they would have reached anything he told them.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Is there a chance the leak came from his own administration,
somebody who was really mad they were left on the plane.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I mean, I got to be as well I did do.
You never know who's in an administration. I would expect
that he trusts them more than the meat. You though
at this point.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Wait because Bill, here's what I think is going on,
and we're going to see it accelerate dramatically after the midterms.
I think you have some people inside the administration who
are starting to position themselves for the post Trump years,
and they're aware that there's a lot of hatred and
disdain out there for the president. So they're probably trying
(09:22):
to maneuver to get on the quote right side of
those who hate the president, even while they're still in
the administration. I think there's probably some of that going on.
And you know, listen, if somebody was left on that jet,
if you're part of that administration, you know there's a
serious enough threat you're going to stick the president in
a catering truck, and you are not told of that threat.
(09:43):
I could see somebody in the administration being so ticked
they just decided to leak it.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, I agree, and I can see where that can
happen and people get upset. I think, based upon everything
that we've saying that there's a lot of mistrust well
the media and also maybe even some people in his administration.
They're trying to read people out.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Still, yeah, and listen to media.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
We all know that that almost all of it's out
to get them, and so that's really really unfortunate. But
I could also see a scenario where even the most
loyal staff, or let's say it's somebody with young kids
and a wife at home or a husband at home,
and they're sitting on that flight and they're thinking, wait
(10:33):
a second, my boss left me here to take the bullet.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I wouldn't be shocked if it was that kind of scenario.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And listen, I am not faulting the Secret Service or
the president in this scenario. I mean, in this scenario,
anybody who gets on a plane with the president of
the United States, particularly to go to a place like
Turkey in the middle of a war, you know you're
taking a risk, and for the good of the nation,
the security of the president has to be paramount. And
(11:01):
if they all of a sudden empty that plane or
they don't launch that plane, then then all of a sudden,
if the president's being watched and emissions being carried out
by the regime, the Iranian regime. Then at that point,
the president's security is jeopardized. So I'm just saying the
fault in the end comes back to the evil regime,
and I don't think this president is going to allow
(11:23):
that evil regime to exist once we get past the midterms.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Maybe I'm wrong. You're on the dan CAplus.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Show that the virus stops with every vaccinated person. A
vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does
not infect them. The virus cannot then use that person
to go anywhere else. They cannot use a vaccinated person
(11:51):
as a host to go get more people. That means
the vaccines will get us to.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
The end of that es so arrogant, right, I mean,
but that's so typical of the left for a couple
of reasons. One is, and it's hard for you and
I wrap our minds around. But they just think less
of us. And the fascinating thing is that they're they're
so wrong on virtually everything. What would ever cause them
(12:21):
to think they're superior. I'd really love your take on that.
I spent a lot of time thinking about it. Not
because it makes med every now and then something they
do makes men, but it's more just intriguing to me
because they're so obviously wrong on so many big things.
Even the people on the left who are really like
gifted intellectually, they just choose to be wrong because they
(12:43):
let their ideology or this or that take over their intellect.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
But why do they.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Think they're superior to us? That That's always fascinated me.
But your strips right, you can just hear it in
her voice and listen. I was a guy who chose
eventually to get vexed, but I came on aeron and
just said, hey, you know, it's been what was it
about thirteen months at that time, after COVID first shut
(13:10):
us down in March of twenty and I went those
first thirteen months without a VACS and Degrae. Our office
was open, we doubled in size.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I flew thirty.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Times because Joe was working back in DC for I
think either Corey Gardner or a different senator at the time.
And never got it, but I, you know, then eventually,
you know, domestic pressure.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I got it got COVID two weeks later.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But I never went out and said, hey, you got
to get it too, or anything like that. I always
had total respect for people on both sides, whatever decision
they made, but just those who were so arrogant, and
my goodness, I.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Mean that the fact people were losing their.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Jobs over it, and you get pulled us out there
now parading around as mister freedom just absolutely shameless. I
think about the immorality of taking somebody's job because they
won't put that in their veins. Wow, I mean, that's
(14:12):
when you know, anybody who is willing to do that
from a policy standpoint, to force that on people, you know,
you lose your job if you don't put this medicine
into your body that I want you to take. That's
just such a profound level of immorality in my view,
and the law never really.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Caught up to it. But as we talked about at
the time, you know, you.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Look at American jurisprudence and you've got all of this
history of deferring to the government in emergencies, and that's
you know, of course, the big trap is that Left
saw that as their opportunity to set that precedent. As
long as Left declares an emergency, it doesn't matter if
the science lines up or not. The Left declares an emergency,
(14:56):
and then at that point all the constitutional rights are gone.
So that was a big challenge facing us during and
after COVID. You know, fortunately, you know, a lot of
good people fought the good fight individually, some real heroes
out there who decided to stand up, and then some
fought it in courtrooms, et cetera. And eventually, you know,
we're able to achieve enough legally that some of that
(15:18):
ground was retaken, and importantly.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
For the sake of the.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Left's effort to declare an emergency in every other area
they want to take your rights away, starting with guns.
You know, the breaks appear to it and put on that,
but they'll bring it back as soon as they can.
And speaking of our constitutional right to bear arms, our
personal right, you know, we sit here today as we
(15:43):
should thinking, hey, that's just deeply enshrined. It's correct, and
we're always going to have it. I mean, we're right
to think it's deeply enshrined, but so many people don't
realize or forget that we only have that right confirmed
by one vote, a one vote margin on the US
Supreme Court. And what's going to happen if if the
Left gets their way with the US Supreme Court, that'll
(16:03):
be one of the first rights to be stripped away
three out three seven three eight two five five d
A N five seven seven three nine. So we'll do
a deep dive on text in the next hour. I
want to touch on this e byke thing for a
second because it sets up another story.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
So many Colorados, you know, can't afford to pay and
then maybe get a rebate back with their taxes.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
This is point of sale.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
And we could combine this rebate with the state e
bike tax credit two hundred and twenty five dollars for
the retailers, the vast majority of the bike retailers to
participate in both.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'd love to get your take on this whole e
byke thing.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I mean, this whole business of you know, poll is
taking your money to buy somebody else and e byke.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
That's obviously loony, right, but it's just it's just.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
The you know, the various degrees of socialism and and yeah, listen,
taxing us and I am so grateful to live here,
and I'm so grateful to have a good paycheck, and
I have no problem in all, you know, paying my
taxes and my tax rate to support core government functions,
plus the safety net for those who truly can't support themselves.
(17:12):
But Jarrett pol is taking my money to buy somebody
else in e bike.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Now is that anything other than income redistribution.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Take my money for some poor guy who has some
major brain injury or dysfunction and can't support himself and
he needs government help to have a roof over his
head and to live. Take my money for that. Take
my money to build her own, but don't take my
money to buy somebody else an e bike.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
This whole socialism thing comes in so many different grades
and forms and images.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I mean a lot Cairos.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
She's the face of the GOPI pardon not the GOP,
and hopefully never the GOP. Maybe she'll have a conversion.
That can happen. We've seen so many of the rabbit abortionist,
even the ones who killed all those babies, end up
being pro life. Maybe she'll have that kind of road
to Damascus or road to Denver conversion.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Shannon's not betting on it. I'm not betting on it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
But yeah, so you've got the Democratic Party. It ranges
from the double middle finger Heiros to the Mike Johnston
softer socialism impression of come to Denver. We'll get you
home to Jared Poulis. Yeah, take Shannon Scott's money, shannonmore,
what do you work like four shifts? Yeah, take Shannon
Scott's money and buy this guy.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Over here in e bike. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Well, but I do want to talk to you about
this whole e bike phenomena because you've got a suburb
that's just banned it on a trail, and you've got
I mean it's it's exploded now, probably in your neighbor
at Channon, and you got all these little kids riding
around on motorcycles are like eight or nine.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
You know, where do you draw the line? You're on
the Dan Kaplis Show. Hey glad you're here. One of
the happiest days of the year for me.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
It is our daughter Caroline's birthday, and it is the
twenty sixth time I've said that on air. I heard
to believe Shannon, right, You remember she used to come
in here. She'd come in here and sing songs and
everything else is like a two or three year old,
and she was in here before then. So yeah, so
I cannot believe she's twenty six now, But what a
great kid.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And starts law school in a week.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
So we're gonna have fun tonight our our ultimate celebration place.
What's yours, Shannon? Do you have kind of like a
go to for these big events?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Well?
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I think we share this melting Pots big with the girls.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Six thirty tonight we will be a melting pot.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Nothing says fun like foot long forks in Hotawa.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Oh man, it is. That guy needs his own show.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
But there's so many different places you could take that,
but we're gonna take it to melting Pot.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah, and see if we can get from the table
to the car without having stop and rest on that
bench outside the front door, which we often do because
we just eat too much there.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
But the food's so good and it's also a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Three at three seve one three eight two five five
d A N five seven seven three nine. I do
want to get to some of these texts. I'm sorry
I've neglected it this far. Uh Dan, I don't think
the switch via the catering tuck should have ever been
made public. I would not want to be the driver
or crew of an Air Force one catering vehicle from
now on with that target on my back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Dan, this is a non issue.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Every person that got on that plane in an act
of war zone with the President who is a target.
Knew they were taking a risk. It is a secret
Service job to protect the president, not anyone else. They
could have chosen to fly commercially or stay home. I
agree one thousand percent with that text, saying what I
said earlier, just better than I said it. Dan, the
Nuggets just hired a male dancer, dancer, not a cheerleader.
(20:48):
You are gonna puke. You are gonna puke when you
see it. Drop your Nuggets promoting. Why would he say that?
What would make you think that aren't pew? When I
see a male dancing, I have to say, I've had
multiple people send me that picture of you seen a Channon.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You have not seen it.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
No, we had a male dancer for years at See
You and he was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, just a good dancer.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Oh he was great.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, like yeah, I mean, listen if it's John Travolta
or something.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But no, they that is so silly.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I mean, just the text. I'd love for this Texter
to call just to understand where he's coming from. I mean, listen,
I have my well raasoned positions on public policy, and
I stick by those. But in terms of respect for
gay people. I'm way ahead of the curve on that.
I mean, I had gay roommates back at CU Boulder
(21:45):
when that wasn't cool. There was a time at CU
Boulder when it was not cool for somebody to be
openly gay. I was student body president at CU Boulder
and I selected as my chief of staff an openly
gay guy named Walt Bloher, one of the greatest people
you will ever meet in your life. And you know
what when I got attacked up there, When I got
(22:08):
attacked up there by a radical student group, and they
were determined to do some serious damage. They put me
in the hospital, but they were determined to do some
more serious damage than that. One of my lasting images
is a bunch of my former football player friends diving
out the windows of the Glenn Miller Ballroom to get
away from the mop and there was one guy who
(22:30):
stood there trying to get him off me.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And it was Walt Bloher, at my gay chief of staff.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
So yeah, I know, you know, I bet Youannon, you'll
vouch for me. A lot of people listening right now
cannot imagine there was ever a time at CU Boulder
where it wasn't really cool to come out as openly gay,
but there was, and that was, you know, when I
was there a student body president. So yeah, all these
people that they just want to stereotype you because you're concervative.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And you believe, you know, in.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Certain policy positions, but in terms of actually loving people
and caring for people and showing respect. Yeah, I remember
when I was student by president.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Another time we're sitting there, No, I wasn't student.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I was on the student Senate and all the student
groups are coming in to present their budgets and I
see my then roommate coming in to present his budget.
I I didn't know he was coming in to present
a budget. I introduced everybody to him, and I say, hey, Matt,
what group are youre for?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
He said, gay Lib.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I had no idea the guy was gay until he
showed up at the student Senate to present the gay
lib budget.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Did I move out? No, it didn't bother me at all.
Didn't bother me one little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So yeah, it's just interesting how people are stereotyped the
nuggets having I'm not saying this guy's gay. I'm not
assuming for a second the male cheerleader is gay. And
if he is, yeah, I don't care. I don't do
you watch do you watch the cheerleaders closely? That's that's
(24:12):
a trick question, Channon. Sorry, I shouldn't have even asked it.
The Nuggets, by the way, have a phenomenal group of dancers.
I mean, they work incredibly hard. I know it because
when I was single, they used to work out at
the gym I worked out at at the time, and
they just they work really, really hard. They're just really
good at what they do. But I'm a happily married man.
(24:35):
I don't sit there and stare at the dancers the
way I would have when I was single, you know,
So I just it's, you know, no skin off my back.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah so.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
But if anybody wants to react to that this text
or not happy the Nuggets just hired a male dancer,
Dan says a texter at many events, isn't the ticket
to an event a you know, getting on air Force
one that you have signed a waiver because that thing
is always a target.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I agree one thousand percent.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
The reason we're talking about this, if you just joined,
is because you know the story by now, right Washing
Post reporting the president boarded the old legacy you know,
blue and white Air Force one out of Turkey, and
then the reporting was he was taking that because of
a threat, because it had more safety features. And then
he went through the new reporting, went through the plane
onto a catering truck and then off on another military aircraft.
(25:30):
And so somebody leaked off that plane or in the administration.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
And then the question is was it a reporter who
was on the plane.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Was it somebody in the administration who was ticked off
that they were left behind on a jet that at
that point was believed to be a pobble target. But
I completely agree with the analysis you get on Air
Force one. It is assumption of risk. You just you
just know there is danger that comes with that. I'd
get on it in a heartbeat. I would have got
(25:57):
on it in Turkey if they told me. You know
it now, I'm not sure I would have got on
it in Turkey if they told me. And I had
young kids. But Dan comes at the territory, Send him
some cheese.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
What is that frying?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I like this text.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You can text us at d An five seven seven
three nine. If you hadn't noticed me, just kind of
it's become a tick. Now you know, I just say
it rather than breathe, breathe d An five, seven, seven
through nine, Dan, Where did Ryan Shooing land? No one
seems willing to say, I missed the local political commentary
that Ryan was so good at it. I won't take
(26:42):
that personally. We do a little bit of that around here.
The good news for all of us is young mister
Shooling will be in this very chair tomorrow. I have
a big case that's going to court. He'll be in
this very chair tomorrow. Looks I forgot to mention that
to you. Huh sorry, He'll be in this very chair tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
He'll be in this very chair Thursday. And wait there's more, Yes, Friday.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
So Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, Ryan Shooling on this show.
So thank you, Texter. I had meant to promote it,
but as Ryan will tell you, a notoriously bad at
promoting things on this show. But yeah, Ryan' shooling the
next three days while I go fight this big case.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
So I'm looking forward to that. Shannon's looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Hey, Ryan can produce his own show, right, It's amazing
the way he can do that. I know he's done
that on occasion run the board and do the show.
So yeah, looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Okay, let's see.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Oh hey, this is a good suggestion I've thrown out
on the show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
And then we'll come back.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
And I do want to dive in to a bunch
of different stuff, including this Colorado Tesla driver blames the
car's autopilot for speeding. We'll talk about that post story
how that defense is going to work. Another Denver post story,
Terry Hills Village gets heat for its e byte band
on popular highline Canal trail. Where do you draw the
line now? On you know, you get some of these
(28:19):
e bikes that are going thirty thirty five miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Where do you draw the line there? But I do
appreciate this text.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Somebody says called doctor Fitzgerald at Alameda East VET, and
they were responding to what I was talking about on
here yesterday.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
We have this amazing, good hearted dog CALLI.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
She's thirteen now she's They call her an English cream
like a white gold and just sweetest dog in the world.
We bought her off the internet when Jet, our dog
died suddenly, and the kids were heartbroken.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
God lucky.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
She was a great dog, but now there's something going
on where now when no thunder, no lightning or anything,
she'll just start panicking. And Amy was back with Joe.
Joe graduated law school, now starting his first real job.
I shouldn't say first real job. He's had a lot
of real He's got a lot of real jobs, like
really hard, hard jobs. Sorry, Bud, I take that back.
(29:14):
But he's starting his first real law job. And Amy
was back with him. So it's just me and jat
Me and Kelly Jets the Dearly Departed. And then she
starts freaking, and you know, I'm in the bathroom doing
my business. She's clawing at the door to get in.
I take her out. She's nothing wrong with her. Then
I get into the shower.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
She hates water.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
She forces her way into the shower with me, and
she's standing there in the shower. So but I take
her out again, and she's not sick or anything. So
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with her.
So is that Kevin Fitzgerald, By the way, I wonder
at Elam to East Vet. I left to double check
because I know there was a Kevin Fitzgerald who was
a VET who I had heard a lot of great
things about three someone three eight, two, five, five, eight
(30:01):
and five seven, seven through nine when we come back lines,
filling up and what you'd expected to fill up on
the nuggets Adding a male dancer. You're on the Dan
Kapla show. I'm looking for the nuggets. Hire a male
dancer in news or sports? Where do you think they
put that one, Shannon, because we're getting a lot of
(30:23):
textile calls on it.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Lifestyle?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, man, you have to go through all these categories.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
James and Peblo. You're on the Dankapla.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
She'll welcome Hello, Dan, good to talk to you again
with which shot it before? Thank you earlier show and
I just listen every chance.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I guess so appreciate you. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Got a little funny story about it really comes down to,
you know, self expression. My brother was a My brother
was at the time. Then they just called the male cheerleaders. Yeah,
and I didn't really appreciate that until I was in
college and decided to take some dance classes for fitness,
(31:06):
and boy howdy, that was quite the experience. So I
can understand their physicality and just the uh, you know,
the self expression that goes into that. It's pretty awesome
but funny little story if you just got a minute.
As a as a straight heterosexual male, I never expected
to tick the box of anti uh, anti lgbt Q
(31:32):
hate and bigotry, but lo and behold, I did because
I hike in a kilt and I'm I'm hiking in
the mountains one day and this, uh, this car kind
of tries to run me off the road. And I
didn't think very much about it because I had my
headphones on and.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Was that there was a car on the hiking trail.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
It's a it's a dirt road. Dirt road. Yeah, I
didn't think very much about it. I just turned music down.
But I find out from my neighbor that that these
people believe that there's a giant, seven foot tall transsexual
man walking around the neighborhood in a dress, and they're
going to find him and run him out of town.
(32:16):
I'm like, well, I'm the only person that hikes in
a it would be considered a dress. I'm almost seven.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Tell yeah, you could do double duty for the nuggets.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Well, there you go, exactly. But so what I decided
to do was double down on this, and I tied
rainbow handkerchiefs all over my backpack and uh and a
purple rope around it. I thought that was kind of
fun and just kept on going. Of course, I did
start wearing a bulletproof vest because because the the the
(32:50):
group that was out that that was out there was
started to follow me home and stuff like that as
I was hiking.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
So did you attract any romantic interest?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Uh? No, I'm I'm not out there for romance. I
have a sweetheart and we're good. She actually cut the
she actually cut the handkerchiefs off my backpack, be says
she was so afraid that I was going to get hurt.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So you were just trying to tweak people.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I just decided to double down on people. People's insecurity. Yeah,
so wow, But you know, really, it's just.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Are you Scottish or Irish? By chance?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I'm just trying to picture this visual okated guy with
the kilt.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Does he look like you might be a bad type? Yes?
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I do have some Irish ancestry. But the funny thing
is I wear a tactical camouflage killed made by five
to eleven. And why maybe just because it's nice to
hike in and you get Uh, it's just it's just
relaxing and.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah, ventilation everything.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Why, well, there you go. Yeah you know why I
wear it killed is a long story. But maybe some
day time if we meet, well, I'll tell you about it,
but it may be.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Better over the phone.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Expression.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, so man, are you really almost seven feet tall?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
How much do you weighs? Wow? You a player? Did
you play something? No?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Martial arts?
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Actually? Okay, well yeah we're not want to match up? Yeah,
well what's your wingspan?
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Six foot seven man? Six feet seven across?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Mind me not to fight you.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Oh no, it's just just another guy.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Seven twitter with the six seven wingspan, and it killed.
I could see that ending badly.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Well, like there are there are plenty of.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Listeners and then some co hosts and stuff. You say, hey,
why don't we have a charity boxing match? But I
don't think I'm going to extend that offer to James
from Pueblo.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Yeah, well, you.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Know, what a great story. Thanks. Man.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
There's an old saying that you know, if if you
if you you choose piece, you better be ready for
something else. Otherwise you're just harmless. So I studied martial
arts all my life and and it's and it does
really really helped me in a lot of situations.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
So kind of peace through strength exactly.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah, hey, great call man, appreciate that. Yeah, that's why
I'll see that's Shannon. You feel the same way. Over
all these decades we've been doing this. It's just so cool,
this John, because then you're running all different sorts of folks.
That is a story I did not see coming today.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah. Have you ever worn a kilt? Shannon? Never want
a kilt?
Speaker 7 (35:38):
Once for Halloween decades ago.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
How to work out?
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Not good for the guests Halloween on the staircase.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Because Halloween's cold around here most times. Yeah, have never
worn one? You never worn one? You know, Amy and
I are going to a wedding this weekend. Great friends.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
It's I imagine there's a formal version of a kilt, right.
I don't know if you've seen this on the internet.
It's going absolutely viral, the wedding vows of a couple
and everybody's saying.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
This guy has toast. This marriage is going to fail.
Tell me if you think that's true. You're on the
Dan Kapli Show.
