This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. How do you
want your winning served up today? Alphabetical order, chronological order
by gender. Hey, take your pick, because there is a long,
(00:24):
long buffet of victory here to feast on. Let's start
with one that I think is of just ginormous importance
to this country in a very practical way starting today,
and is also absolutely key to President Trump's success, and
that is Hey, nc DOUBLEA today finally ends the madness
(00:45):
thanks to the American people giving Trump a second term.
Trump promise is made, Trump promise is kept. No more
men in women's sports, and the NCUBA makes it official today.
And obviously the magnitude of that, because that's going to
extend even into other places, I believe, other places that
(01:05):
aren't affected directly by the president's order this precedent for
so many different reasons. Right concerned about legal liability even
if the presidential executive order doesn't apply directly to you,
because you're outside the government stream, but beyond that just sanity,
because the whole thing was always utter madness, never made
(01:26):
any sense on any level any starting with science, indisputable
basic science, then getting to fundamental fairness, then getting to
why in the world would anybody ever support a war
on women? And this is an outright war on women,
on their private spaces, on their sports. So yeah, this
(01:47):
is such a blow for sanity, it's such a blow
for freedom, it's such a blow for women.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's a beautiful thing. It's our Republican action.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And by the way, truly I think one of the
top five greatest presidential photos ever President Trump at that
signing ceremony, and you can see it at Dan Kaplis
on Twitter. Please do like me while you're there, or
at least like my Twitter account. But it is just
such a compelling photo. And if you get there, then
then zoom in on the young kids who are who
(02:20):
are right up next to President Trump on either side
of the desk that he's signing the EO on, and just.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
The look on their face.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But the whole thing it is it is like if
if Norman Rockwell was a photographer. Beautiful stuff eight five
five ur is our five eight two five five takes
d A N five seven seven three nine. Hey, I
do want to know, if you're in the Denver area
thanks to our listeners in the Denver area six cerd
KHW Denver, if you're going to be honoring the King
(02:47):
Soupers picket lines the strikes are back on.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It seemed like the.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Strikes ended yesterday, doesn't it right? And so are you
going to support the striking workers. I'm a regular King
Soopers guy, like King Super, go there all the time,
respect the people who work there. Everybody I run into
there is great. So I've I've really got to think
about that, because you know, I do a lot of this.
My wife turned me onto this insta cart stuff. Is
(03:13):
that the same as crossing the picket line? What do
you think if you do an instakart? Is that the
same as crossing the picket line? Eight five five five
two five five text d A N five seven seven
three nine. I've never heard that question, I asked on
air before, maybe because nobody cares, but I do.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What do you think, Ryan?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Because I kind of pride myself on not crossing picket lines.
If I'm paying somebody to cross the picket line, through
an Insta cart Is that the same thing?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It feels like an Insta Classic promo, as you might
recall when you were talking about that. Yes, yeah, I'll
play that just for funsies coming back and the next week.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I love funsies.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But uh, Frandy, who messaged you and is a longtime listener,
is an employee at King Supers and has asked for
solidarity with the unionized members that work there. So don't
be a scab, Dan, And that is never have been.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I used to work on the picket lines and in
Chicago it was called Jewel J E W E. L.
And I was on the picket lines for United farm Workers.
So I'm in the seminary high school seminary in Chicago,
and we were trying to save up money so we
could go during spring break to visit Caesar Chavez and
(04:28):
get out to California. But we couldn't raise enough money.
I ended up cattying during spring break. But yeah, so
my job with the United farm Workers was I was
the gringo who'd got on the picket lines at King Supers.
No Jewel, I'm sorry, this is jewel in Chicago. I
never heard of King Superstar. I got I thought somebody
was joking. So did I say, hey, man, I need
(04:49):
to get some pea. Oh go to King Supers after
But yeah, I just didn't believe it. But yeah, so
I would be on the picket line and then people
would be turning in and and we'd be on the
picket line and they'd turn away and we'd all clap.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And then part of my job, and.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I won't digress on this though I already have part
of my job as kind of the designated Gringo, was
I would get my parents' old Cornett Dodge Cornet and
I would pretend to be driving up and then honoring
the picket lines and driving away. So I do that
like a hundred times as a role model for other shops. Okay, okay,
(05:28):
So I was the shill. I was to pretend the
marson who wasn't the mark. Yes, but it was. It
was great work.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I think you just accidentally maybe stumbled upon a new
name for the show, the Designated Gringo.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That's okay, Yeah, tell me what the west Wing says
about that eight five five for zero five A two
five five takes d a N five seven seven three nine.
But those are good memories. Yeah, and I yeah, no
my inclination. I honestly couldn't tell you what the issues
are right now. But yeah, I'm not I'm not going
(06:03):
to break the picket line.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
But I'd love to hear from other people.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I'm sure there are plenty of good people who are
and I'd love to hear your thoughts on that, because
I personally don't see it.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Again, I don't know the details of this strike, but
it's hard for me to imagine that these folks are
asking for something crazy or exorbitant or whatever. And if
I'm wrong on that, I'm the first to admit it.
But my just knee jerk reaction is to honor the
picket line. A five ur zero five A two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So yeah, where do I go from there?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I guess insta kart from somewhere else. Anyway, I got
to talk about all sorts of stuff today. I've got
to get into the ice raids, the ice raids and
some kind of instant classic sound. Here here is a
Kusa's story that refers to the fear and uncertainty in
(07:01):
immigrant communities.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
This is the day the President Donald Trump's mass immigration
raids came to Colorado. One goal was clearly achieved, creating
fear and uncertainty in immigrant communities that deportations could happen
at any time.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It's not not to be picky, but if you're here legally,
there's no chance of deportation, right. Or I may have
missed something. I haven't read the fine print of the bill,
but doesn't that have to be part of the story.
I mean, if is this a news or commentary piece?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I think I sent you the sound.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Is it a news piece or a commentary piece? Because
it's a little blurred lines there.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
We know this.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
If it's a news piece, right, just basic journalistic ethics
one oh one, you'd have to include that critical fact
that the raids are for illegal immigrants. So I assume
it's a commentary piece. And then obviously anybody offering this
commentaryume would have chosen to leave that critical fact out
(08:02):
because it would have hurt their argument.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Here.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
However, if another objective was met, actually removing a significant
number of violent criminals from the streets, a goal that
is widely shared by Colorado's community leaders.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
What it has to be commentary, right, And once again,
I don't know if it's meant as comedy commentary a
goal widely shared by community leaders take dangerous criminal illegal
immigrants off the street. Wait a second, what about all
these laws that pol As signed, all these laws the
left pushed and bragged about, all these laws that severely
(08:38):
restrict what law enforcement can do to help ICE take
criminals off the street. We're talking about a law that says,
once somebody's actually convicted to the point they're on parole,
to the point they're.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
On probation, making it.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Much much harder, if not impossible, for the probation offered
to officer to cooperate with ICE. How can anybody make
that statement widely supported by the community leaders. No, the
Colorado Democratic Party has a bill that is specifically intended
to protect criminals people here illegally. You've committed other crimes
(09:18):
and are now on probation. So that is it must
be men as comedy, some kind of satire, some kind
of parody.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We'll get back to that.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Eight y five for zero five A two five five text,
D N five seven, seven through nine. Are you going
to cross the King Soupers picket lines? You're on the
Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
What is that song about girls and women's sports and space?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Come, of course, but we're on the King Supers topic
now you yes?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
We open the show by celebrating that right, monumentally important
President Trump promises made, promises kept and the big reason
he won the election. That blockbuster, the most effective ad
probably since the Daisy Ad in sixty three, you know,
and because eighty twenty issue in America at least right,
and Scott Jennings has a great riff on that. Let
me get to this before I get back to the
(10:12):
King super Strike, but the point being that, yeah, no,
any sane American right now is going to be opposed
to men and women's sports.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But the Democratic Party, like on so many issues, decides
this is going to be the hill they fight and
die on, though they could never really explain why.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I have my own theory on why the Democratic Party
became so committed to You are a bigot.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You will be canceled, you.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Will be run out of civilized society unless you agree
that women are men and men are women, and men
can go into women's locker rooms. I mean it became
an all out crusade for them, a holy war for them.
And I think there were motives, very very powerful motives
that went far beyond this issue, because again, no sane
person could argue in favor of this garbage men and
(10:58):
women's sports, cutting breasts off able body teenage girls. No,
no seene person could support any of that. The Left
had a bigger purpose here, multi purposes, including including undermining
religious freedom, religious liberty, etc. But it was a multi
purpose that they pursued through this madness, and fortunately it
(11:21):
cost them the election. I think it was maybe the
single driving, biggest driving factor and costing them the election.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But they will not learn from it.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
He's describing what is currently the dumbest strategy in politics,
which is Democrats taking the twenty percent side of every
eighty twenty issue in America. Usaid people want this pair down,
they want to streamline, they want to know where the
money is going. Democrats have a meltdown. Today, Donald Trump
signs executive order on keeping boys out.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Of girls sports.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Democrats take the twenty side of that issue.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
As well all these issues.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
This is like Trump's superpower, finding a bunch of eighty
twenty issues getting on the eighty and everybody who sort
of reflexively against him gets on the twenty and now
the Democratic Party has like a thirty one percent approval rating.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
This is why, what a brilliant point, right, But they're
not going to change that.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
They are not going to change that. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The key is for whoever the GOP nominees are in
Colorado for governor and Senate is to absolutely pin down,
nail to the wall the Democrat nominee on these eighty
twenty issues. Don't let them off the hook, you know,
the media let them off the hook, but do not
let him off the hook.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You know, do you believe that men should be in
women's sports? Right?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I mean in all of these eighty twenty issues, Dan
says a Texter. Maybe because it was a Democrat like
you until old school politics turned me to the GOP
twenty seven years ago. I won't cross the picket line either.
That from Donna, Thank you, Donna. I did learn during
the break that looks like the strike is mainly over
inadequate staffing, and the union saying that quote workers are
(12:54):
being asked to do the jobs of two three four
workers and customers see this lack of staffing in the
form of long lines, empty shelves, shuttered departments like delis
or meat counters and bakeries.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
According to the Union, Brian and Arvada, you're on the
dan Kaplis.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
She'll welcome, Hey Dan.
Speaker 8 (13:13):
Yeah, I won't cross the picket line. I don't even
know who's right, But when it comes to disputes on labor,
I don't want to get involved. Like during COVID, I
knew the mask was stupid and it was completely wrong.
So I was that one guy in the store without
a mask because I was sure about that. So I
set up for what I believed in. But this I
just don't have the knowledge of who's you know, what
(13:35):
the whole dispute's about, and it's kind of uncomfortable. You
kind of want to go for the workers. So yeah, yeah,
I guess I'll just stand in long lines at Safeway now,
because everybody's gonna be rolling over the Safeway. We're ill
gonna have to wait an hour.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
If you tried instacurt from Safeway? Have you tried instacurt
from Safeway?
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Have you heard of instacurrent?
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Is it possible?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
My wife turned me.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
On to it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, just look up the app I n s t
a cart and then you can plug in. Dan, you're
gonna lose some weight. No, hey, that's that may be
the key to happiness, my friend. Thank you for the call.
But yeah, instacart, my wife turned me onto it and
(14:19):
it's it's a great great savings.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I but this texture, is it? Right? Dan?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Instacart is definitely crossing the picket line. The point is
to reduce King Super's business to get their attention. Chuck
at King Supers Retiree. You're right about that, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I will not be instacarting from King Supers, as much
as I love the.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Store during this strike. I'm going to honor the strike.
But if you have not tried instacart, get that app.
It is so good and and just not very expensive
at all. Be sure to leave a good tip. As
a guy who's worked many years for tips, not anymore
nobody tips or lawyer? What's that all about?
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Can we start a little campaign. I'm joking.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm joking it so anyway, I'm tired. Some of these
texts are getting too long today, but I sure appreciate
the enthusiasm. Dan, Curious woman killed in southern Colorado two
and a half weeks ago by animal attack. No news reports.
First reports said not a mountain lion. And want to know.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
What the facts are in that. Have you heard about that? Ryan, Nope, Kelly, Chuck,
tell me if you guys think this could possibly be
just a coincidence, right. Thirty second version of the story.
My brother comes in to visit.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Me while I'm in college or maybe law school, and
we're hitchhiking up to Estes Park. Didn't have a car.
Then picked him up at the airport with a sign
that said Boulder. We're hitchhiking up to Este's Park. Somebody
drops us off out in North Boulder, and I'm telling
them that, hey, just a not a week or to go.
But sometime recently there was a little kid mauled by
(15:56):
a pack of dogs, torn completely apart. It was amazing
he lived. So we were hoping, Okay, I hope we
don't get malt here. Long story short, We're hitchhiking back
late that night, like ten or eleven at night.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
We get picked up in Esty's Park.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We get into both of us getting to the back
of this SUV type thing, and Ryan, who do you
think is sitting between us in the back of the suv.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
The kid who had been mauled by the wild packet dogs.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
What are the odds on that they'd taken the kid
out for some fresh air? What are the odds on that?
And this kid he looked like a baseball. I mean,
there were stitches everywhere, but God loved me. Was the
coolest kid, completely torn apart by that pack of dogs.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Don't see that much of that anymore. How many texts
do it? Which is good?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
How many texts do we have now today on the elk?
This is the issue that will not die and I
get it. I get why people are so upset about
that elk. So we'll follow up on that today. If
you're new to the story, beautiful elk, it runs off
into this snowfield behind some house and steamboat gets caught
in the snow up to its neck gets trapped. That
(17:04):
wonderful homeowner calls parks and Wildlife. They won't come to
rescue it, which I think is outrageous. Homeowner rescues organized
as a posse. In the morning. They come out with
shovels to save the animal. While they're eating breakfast. The
animal parishes. So that's the story that people are still
responding to and my point is, as a civilized society,
we cannot allow our government to just say they're going
(17:27):
to ignore that animal dying in pain being tortured. Essentially, Dan,
they'll probably charge you.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
A picket fee. Is there such a thing?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
What does that even mean? But no, I'm not going
to honor the picket line. Are you eight five to
five for zero five eight two five five? Then number
and when we come back, some very compelling sound about
the immigration raids.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Going on in Denver. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I don't know how to do it, man, That's that's
great stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
At ninety nine percent of what your play I've never
heard of, but it's really cool. You know, you should
put together some kind of Ryan's playlist, a kind.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Of I had that idea and I got short circuited
because of our our rights do not extend from our
on air portion of the show to the digital online pods.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Which you could write it off. You could host it
as a play of service to humanity totally.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We're waiting on Congressoman Bolbert, this is going to be fun,
and Congressman Gabe Evans joins us at five oh six
because Gabe has waived onto the House Oversight Committee for
the questioning of lawless Mike Johnston and the other Democrats
who are going to appear before the committee to talk
about sanctuary cities.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
So that is great news that Gabe's going to be there.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
In Congressoman Bobert as well, let me get started with
this caller, and then when the congressoman's on the line, guys,
just let me know. And I'm sure Scott you'll understand
right if I have to put you on pause to
talk to the congresswoman.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
But thanks for calling the show. What are you thinking?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Real quick? Yeah, I'm gonna be real quick. U press
release from Jason Crow his website Pro fights Back, Pro
fight Back against Trump must usaid elimination. He's going to
take the decisive action against Donald Trump and Elon Musk
(19:29):
legal dismaniling of the agency.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And what is that action?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
There? You go, I guess he's just okay with my
tax money going to sex changes and Timbuck two.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And you know what the health what do you have
against tim Buck two?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
But here, my friend, is the beauty of this and
I hope you can enjoy it. And that is is
Jason Crow is clearly trying to position for a run
for governor or if hicken Looper steps aside, a run
for Senate. And this will be a thing to behold,
because what you'll see in action, Scott, is you'll see
the Democrats right now eating their own, the Democratic Party
(20:06):
aborting itself on the abortion issue more but on identity politics, because.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
What do you got? What do you got?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You got the Democratic Party in Colorado so high and
mighty about how they're so woke, and the rest of
us are all these bigots. And then look who holds
all the top jobs, you know, except for Griswold, who
is just so obviously incompetent. But you got all these old, boring,
do nothing, accomplish nothing, white guys holding all these top
(20:33):
jobs in the Democratic Party. And I got to tell
you that I'm no political professional, but the ones I
know say there is.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
A revolt brewing.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And there are an awful lot of people of color,
and awful lot of women within the Democratic Party, and
awful lot of them younger who are ready to run
these old white guys out of office. So Jason Crow
really thinks that if Hick and Hooper steps aside. Oh yeah,
the Democratic Party is going to choose another middle age,
older white guy. And the only reason I talk in
(21:02):
terms of identity is that's what the Democratic Party worships.
The opposite of doctor King. They worship identity politics. So
Curl right now is living in this fantasy right world,
in this bubble with some yes men and women telling
him he's the greatest thing ever, believing he really has
a chance, and we're going to enjoy this together because
(21:24):
you know what, he should be judged on his merit,
and based on his merit, he should not hold those
top jobs. But the Colorado Democratic Party will not judge
on merit.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They judge on identity politics.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And they're sick of these white guys hypocritically talking all
this DEI stuff and then taking all the top jobs.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Absolutely, I'm glad you're having a Bogart on because I
called her office yesterday and I had a suggestion, maybe
you can talk to her about US. Matt. We need
to get the list of this garbage that's gone to
this usaid. This list needs to be it's on the
White House, yeah, dot com or whatever it is. But
(22:07):
I FI got to the people because it's not going
to go They're not going to get deach tales from
MSLSD and the Wayne Street Press. But it's got to
get to the people because I don't care who you are,
ninety nine to so little people are going to be
pissed when they see what this money, our tax money's
going to.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Amen, my friend, and listen.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I just think on a gut level now, just from
what people have heard, I think most people are saying, yeah, no,
that sounds like a bunch of craziness there. And I'm
sure there are some good things, but I don't think
you see any broad pushback across America on Trump right
now cracking down on us. Eight fascinating, fascinating editorial in
the Denver Post, and I'll get some sound that ties
(22:48):
into this editorial. Ice walks a thin line in Aurora
in Denver as it searches for one hundred quote gang
members but knocks on everyone's door. Wait a second, how
can can you be critical of them knocking on everyone's door?
How else are you going to find these people? You
think they all live together in the same apartment. I mean,
(23:11):
what do you think goes on there? And this ties
into a question that nine News asked of an ICE official.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
This is the day the President Donald Trump's mass immigration
rates came to Colorado. One goal was clearly achieved, creating
fear and uncertainty and immigrant communities that deportations could happen
at any time.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I'm sorry, Ryan, can you check me on this? I
thought they were only deporting folks here illegally.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well he won't even say that. He says without authorization.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, but I mean, wait a second, that report just
suggested that they're deporting folks here legally.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Well, he's insinuating and kind of blurring the lines on that.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Absolutely, you are a generous man.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
It's not clear, however, if another objective was met, actually
removing a significant number of island criminals.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
From the streets. What's a significant number. I know the
answer to that. There's only one answer. What's a significant number?
Significant number is one?
Speaker 6 (24:11):
One.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
It is immoral. It is completely unjustifiable to leave one
person on the streets who's here illegally and has committed
other crimes. Right, And I'm sure that anybody out there,
no matter what line of work, be their reporter or
anybody else, would say, yeah, if that one person was
going to victimize their family. Yeah, that person should be removed.
(24:35):
So that's the answer, even one.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
A goal that is widely shared by Colorado's community leaders.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Total garbage, Total garbage that the Democratic Party in Colorado
has ferociously opposed efforts to deport people here illegally who
have not only convicted other committed other crimes. They have
been convicted and they're now on probation or parole. Remember
police sign that law, sign that law that makes it
(25:03):
extraordinarily hard for probation and parole officers to cooperate with ice.
So at that point they're fully exposed and it ain't pretty.
They are devoted to protecting people here illegally. You've committed
other crimes and are on probation. Why would any sane
person want to do that? Does anybody have an answer
to that?
Speaker 6 (25:20):
What about this category too, Dan?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
This one gets my dander up, and I think I'm
to the right of you on this issue, and that
is people who filed for asylum claims or adjudicated or refused,
lost that claim and then just stick around in our
country indefinitely.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, Or how about the folks who have entered illegally
after being deported, right, That is a crime at that
that is a crime, and those folks I believe should
be prosecuted as well. But the starting point, the starting
point is the folks here illegally, you've committed other crimes.
Because I've said it before, I'll say it again. I
(25:54):
know it's not popular, but every person listening knows it's true.
And I bet it's the same experience from everybody listening.
Some of the very best people I have ever met
are in this country illegally. It doesn't mean that the
border should be open, it doesn't mean that should be allowed.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
That's just the reality.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
At the same time, some of the worst people to
ever set foot in Colorado came into this country illegally,
and Jared Poulis and the Democratic Party went out of
their way to protect those people, protect those people by
tying the hands of probation officers from cooperating with ICE.
And I still would like to answer that question, why
(26:33):
do you think they did that. It's obviously so societal suicidal,
it's obviously so fundamentally wrong placing convicted criminals interest over
those of peaceful citizens. Why do you think they did that?
I'd love to get your take on that I've got
my own theory. This sound gets too long, especially when
I'm interrupting it, but it goes.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
On to get to this question.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
The nine News poses to an ICE official, Hey, you know,
why are you knocking on every door? And the ICE
official says, because people change apartments, people move apartments. We
know who we're looking for, but they're not all going
to sit in the same apartment. We've got to go
find them in the complex. So why would the left
(27:19):
be upset about that?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It just goes back to the same kind of dishonesty
from the left and their media arm. But there is
a critical admission in the Denver Post editorial today that
I want to get to you right out of this break.
I also want to hear from you if you don't mind,
are you going to honor the King Soopers picket lines
in the Denver area?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I am?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And then Congressoman Bulbert, who's going to be on that
House Oversight committee questioning lawless Mike Johnston and other lefty
mayors on sanctuary City. We expect now to have her
next You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
And believe you can't be happy without religion.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Without that belief, I really believe it. I just don't
see how you can be.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
So let's bring religion back. Let's bring God back into
our lives. Yeah, and President Trump announcing it. That's same
prayer breakfast. A task force on anti Christian bias, long overdue.
Glad he's doing it. Let's go to the VIP line.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
She is a warrior.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Congresswoman Lauren Bolbert, welcome back to the Dan Kapla Show,
the place it all started standon.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
It is great to be with you.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Well, thank you. These have to be particularly fun times
for you. Yes.
Speaker 10 (28:41):
So this is incredible because we are seeing President Trump
deliver immediately on promises that he made on the campaign trail. Now,
obviously President Trump has been on the trail for four
years now, just about and he's made many, many promises,
and so there are still more to come, and it
is up to Congress to codify and make into law
(29:05):
what the work that he is doing. But he has
been absolutely incredible at the work that he has done
so far. And you know, I think in the House
we need to even be more aggressive. I've started putting
pressure on leadership to bring to the floor daily the
executive orders that President Trump has been issuing and start
(29:28):
getting actual Congressional votes on him.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
And now I think also President Trump continues with this success,
which I expect, you may have a bigger majority, well
any majority, it'd be a bigger majority, right, but you
may have a bigger majority after the midterms.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Well, don't believe that this next midterm will be like others. Statistically,
the party that it has the White House does poorly
in the midterms. But President Trump is doing just such
an excellent at exposing waste fraud abuse and delivering on
his promises securing our country. We're already seeing Tom Homan
(30:07):
our borders are get to work with ICE agents and
other law enforcement officers in places like Aurora and Denver.
And I think that this will be a very exciting
midterm election.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, and this one I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And you're right about the usual trend obviously, but I
think there's been a realignment that's been forced by President Trump,
and this success continues. I think it's going to turn
the midterm on it said, but let me ask you
a Congressmoman, the Oversight Committee, you have lawless Mike Johnston,
the mayor of Denver, and other Democrat mayors coming in
to try to justify and deny sanctuary city realities. And
(30:42):
so you're going to be part of the questioning that day,
Can you give us a little preview?
Speaker 10 (30:48):
Yes, so, I will be in the Oversight Accountability Committee
hearing and Mayor Johnson has agreed to come before our
committee on March fifth, and I have many questions for them.
I think one of the most obvious questions is why
keep and continue with the sanctuary policies that prevent local
(31:10):
law enforcement officers from coordinating with ICE agents. We have
seen Mayor Johnston kind of, you know, tiptoe around the
issue and say, well, if they were going to come
after actual criminal aliens, then we would do everything we
could to coordinate with them. But he's not allowing them
(31:31):
to go after anyone right now with those policies in place.
And as we've heard our new Press Secretary Caroline love
It and even President Trump say, if you broke our
nation's laws to come here illegally, you are a criminal.
And again that's not the focus that ICE has right
(31:51):
now as a priority. But we need to quit making
excuses and just allow our law enforcement offsters to do
their job.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Amen, And boy, I wish there was a judge there
in these committee here in Congress, women who could just
like the way they do in courteous crack down on
these witnesses who are philipbustering and not answering the question
and being deceptive because you're going to ask all the
right questions. He's not going to address your question. He's
going to philipbuster, he's going to throw deceptive stuff out there.
(32:20):
And yeah, I think that's how a witness like him
just avoids accountability in these things.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Sure, and I have four years of experience of that
personally now, having witnesses come before us, and especially those
who are in political positions or are are federally employed,
even there's all sorts of excuses. We've even seen this
with the USAID funding and other things where they are
(32:50):
questioned and ask where money is going and what it
is being spent on, and we're given non answers. So
it is up to the men who is controlling the
time to do the best that we can to get
those answers and ask the right questions. But it is
unfortunate that they could come with non answers as well.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And just pass the buck well and you do great
with that. But God love you for it, because I
consider myself a real good cross examiner. But you're in
a much tougher scenario than I am, because I'm in
a courtroom, there's a judge there, there's a jury sitting there,
and in your situation, you've got a handful of minutes,
no judge to really enforce the rules. You've got to
control that witness all on your own without a judge's help,
(33:32):
and that takes a lot. So God love you, and
I hope you're able to pin Mike Johnston down because
if you can get to the truth with him, he
is indefensible.
Speaker 10 (33:44):
Yes, I absolutely agree, And you know, if your listeners
or you have things that you want answered, specifically, send
those my way and I'll be sure to incorporate that
in what I have planned to discuss with him. But again, yes,
we do have just a few at the peace and
we're going to try to get as much information as
possible so not only can we expose to Colorado into
(34:07):
and Americans throughout the country of what's going on, but
also so we could get policy right to ensure that
mistakes aren't made in the future.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Well, I've got a great starting point.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I mean, as spokesman said yesterday, Johnson's going to say
all these he calls them newcomers, unless they're coming into
his house in the middle of the night, which nobody
should do. But but yeah, he's going to say, hasn't
hasn't made the city less safe, hasn't impacted course services.
We've got to go now with that music, Congresswoman, But
thank you for your time today. Keep up the good
(34:37):
work and we'll catch you next time. Thank you so much,
by thank you, Take care, Congressoman Laura Bolbert Hey.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Congressman Gabe Evans joins us after the break. He's already
on that star trek in DC.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But he has been waived onto the Oversight Committee, so
he will also have a chance to question Mike Johnston
and other sanctuary city mayors. Gave Evans next on The
Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. How do you
want your winning served up today? Alphabetical order, chronological order
by gender. Hey, take your pick, because there is a long,
(00:24):
long buffet of victory here to feast on. Let's start
with one that I think is of just ginormous importance
to this country in a very practical way starting today,
and is also absolutely key to President Trump's success, and
that is Hey, nc DOUBLEA today finally ends the madness
(00:45):
thanks to the American people giving Trump a second term.
Trump promise is made, Trump promise is kept. No more
men in women's sports, and the NCUBA makes it official today.
And obviously the magnitude of that, because that's going to
extend even into other places, I believe, other places that
(01:05):
aren't affected directly by the president's order this precedent for
so many different reasons. Right concerned about legal liability even
if the presidential executive order doesn't apply directly to you,
because you're outside the government stream, but beyond that just sanity,
because the whole thing was always utter madness, never made
(01:26):
any sense on any level any starting with science, indisputable
basic science, then getting to fundamental fairness, then getting to
why in the world would anybody ever support a war
on women? And this is an outright war on women,
on their private spaces, on their sports. So yeah, this
(01:47):
is such a blow for sanity, it's such a blow
for freedom, it's such a blow for women.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's a beautiful thing. It's our Republican action.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And by the way, truly I think one of the
top five greatest presidential photos ever President Trump at that
signing ceremony, and you can see it at Dan Kaplis
on Twitter. Please do like me while you're there, or
at least like my Twitter account. But it is just
such a compelling photo. And if you get there, then
then zoom in on the young kids who are who
(02:20):
are right up next to President Trump on either side
of the desk that he's signing the EO on, and just.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
The look on their face.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But the whole thing it is it is like if
if Norman Rockwell was a photographer. Beautiful stuff eight five
five ur is our five eight two five five takes
d A N five seven seven three nine. Hey, I
do want to know, if you're in the Denver area
thanks to our listeners in the Denver area six cerd
KHW Denver, if you're going to be honoring the King
(02:47):
Soupers picket lines the strikes are back on.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It seemed like the.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Strikes ended yesterday, doesn't it right? And so are you
going to support the striking workers. I'm a regular King
Soopers guy, like King Super, go there all the time,
respect the people who work there. Everybody I run into
there is great. So I've I've really got to think
about that, because you know, I do a lot of this.
My wife turned me onto this insta cart stuff. Is
(03:13):
that the same as crossing the picket line? What do
you think if you do an instakart? Is that the
same as crossing the picket line? Eight five five five
two five five text d A N five seven seven
three nine. I've never heard that question, I asked on
air before, maybe because nobody cares, but I do.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What do you think, Ryan?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Because I kind of pride myself on not crossing picket lines.
If I'm paying somebody to cross the picket line, through
an Insta cart Is that the same thing?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It feels like an Insta Classic promo, as you might
recall when you were talking about that. Yes, yeah, I'll
play that just for funsies coming back and the next week.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I love funsies.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But uh, Frandy, who messaged you and is a longtime listener,
is an employee at King Supers and has asked for
solidarity with the unionized members that work there. So don't
be a scab, Dan, And that is never have been.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I used to work on the picket lines and in
Chicago it was called Jewel J E W E. L.
And I was on the picket lines for United farm Workers.
So I'm in the seminary high school seminary in Chicago,
and we were trying to save up money so we
could go during spring break to visit Caesar Chavez and
(04:28):
get out to California. But we couldn't raise enough money.
I ended up cattying during spring break. But yeah, so
my job with the United farm Workers was I was
the gringo who'd got on the picket lines at King Supers.
No Jewel, I'm sorry, this is jewel in Chicago. I
never heard of King Superstar. I got I thought somebody
was joking. So did I say, hey, man, I need
(04:49):
to get some pea. Oh go to King Supers after
But yeah, I just didn't believe it. But yeah, so
I would be on the picket line and then people
would be turning in and and we'd be on the
picket line and they'd turn away and we'd all clap.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And then part of my job, and.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I won't digress on this though I already have part
of my job as kind of the designated Gringo, was
I would get my parents' old Cornett Dodge Cornet and
I would pretend to be driving up and then honoring
the picket lines and driving away. So I do that
like a hundred times as a role model for other shops. Okay, okay,
(05:28):
So I was the shill. I was to pretend the
marson who wasn't the mark. Yes, but it was. It
was great work.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I think you just accidentally maybe stumbled upon a new
name for the show, the Designated Gringo.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That's okay, Yeah, tell me what the west Wing says
about that eight five five for zero five A two
five five takes d a N five seven seven three nine.
But those are good memories. Yeah, and I yeah, no
my inclination. I honestly couldn't tell you what the issues
are right now. But yeah, I'm not I'm not going
(06:03):
to break the picket line.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
But I'd love to hear from other people.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I'm sure there are plenty of good people who are
and I'd love to hear your thoughts on that, because
I personally don't see it.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Again, I don't know the details of this strike, but
it's hard for me to imagine that these folks are
asking for something crazy or exorbitant or whatever. And if
I'm wrong on that, I'm the first to admit it.
But my just knee jerk reaction is to honor the
picket line. A five ur zero five A two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So yeah, where do I go from there?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I guess insta kart from somewhere else. Anyway, I got
to talk about all sorts of stuff today. I've got
to get into the ice raids, the ice raids and
some kind of instant classic sound. Here here is a
Kusa's story that refers to the fear and uncertainty in
(07:01):
immigrant communities.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
This is the day the President Donald Trump's mass immigration
raids came to Colorado. One goal was clearly achieved, creating
fear and uncertainty in immigrant communities that deportations could happen
at any time.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It's not not to be picky, but if you're here legally,
there's no chance of deportation, right. Or I may have
missed something. I haven't read the fine print of the bill,
but doesn't that have to be part of the story.
I mean, if is this a news or commentary piece?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I think I sent you the sound.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Is it a news piece or a commentary piece? Because
it's a little blurred lines there.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
We know this.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
If it's a news piece, right, just basic journalistic ethics
one oh one, you'd have to include that critical fact
that the raids are for illegal immigrants. So I assume
it's a commentary piece. And then obviously anybody offering this
commentaryume would have chosen to leave that critical fact out
(08:02):
because it would have hurt their argument.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Here.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
However, if another objective was met, actually removing a significant
number of violent criminals from the streets, a goal that
is widely shared by Colorado's community leaders.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
What it has to be commentary, right, And once again,
I don't know if it's meant as comedy commentary a
goal widely shared by community leaders take dangerous criminal illegal
immigrants off the street. Wait a second, what about all
these laws that pol As signed, all these laws the
left pushed and bragged about, all these laws that severely
(08:38):
restrict what law enforcement can do to help ICE take
criminals off the street. We're talking about a law that says,
once somebody's actually convicted to the point they're on parole,
to the point they're.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
On probation, making it.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Much much harder, if not impossible, for the probation offered
to officer to cooperate with ICE. How can anybody make
that statement widely supported by the community leaders. No, the
Colorado Democratic Party has a bill that is specifically intended
to protect criminals people here illegally. You've committed other crimes
(09:18):
and are now on probation. So that is it must
be men as comedy, some kind of satire, some kind
of parody.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We'll get back to that.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Eight y five for zero five A two five five text,
D N five seven, seven through nine. Are you going
to cross the King Soupers picket lines? You're on the
Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
What is that song about girls and women's sports and space?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Come, of course, but we're on the King Supers topic
now you yes?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
We open the show by celebrating that right, monumentally important
President Trump promises made, promises kept and the big reason
he won the election. That blockbuster, the most effective ad
probably since the Daisy Ad in sixty three, you know,
and because eighty twenty issue in America at least right,
and Scott Jennings has a great riff on that. Let
me get to this before I get back to the
(10:12):
King super Strike, but the point being that, yeah, no,
any sane American right now is going to be opposed
to men and women's sports.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But the Democratic Party, like on so many issues, decides
this is going to be the hill they fight and
die on, though they could never really explain why.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I have my own theory on why the Democratic Party
became so committed to You are a bigot.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You will be canceled, you.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Will be run out of civilized society unless you agree
that women are men and men are women, and men
can go into women's locker rooms. I mean it became
an all out crusade for them, a holy war for them.
And I think there were motives, very very powerful motives
that went far beyond this issue, because again, no sane
person could argue in favor of this garbage men and
(10:58):
women's sports, cutting breasts off able body teenage girls. No,
no seene person could support any of that. The Left
had a bigger purpose here, multi purposes, including including undermining
religious freedom, religious liberty, etc. But it was a multi
purpose that they pursued through this madness, and fortunately it
(11:21):
cost them the election. I think it was maybe the
single driving, biggest driving factor and costing them the election.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But they will not learn from it.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
He's describing what is currently the dumbest strategy in politics,
which is Democrats taking the twenty percent side of every
eighty twenty issue in America. Usaid people want this pair down,
they want to streamline, they want to know where the
money is going. Democrats have a meltdown. Today, Donald Trump
signs executive order on keeping boys out.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Of girls sports.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Democrats take the twenty side of that issue.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
As well all these issues.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
This is like Trump's superpower, finding a bunch of eighty
twenty issues getting on the eighty and everybody who sort
of reflexively against him gets on the twenty and now
the Democratic Party has like a thirty one percent approval rating.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
This is why, what a brilliant point, right, But they're
not going to change that.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
They are not going to change that. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The key is for whoever the GOP nominees are in
Colorado for governor and Senate is to absolutely pin down,
nail to the wall the Democrat nominee on these eighty
twenty issues. Don't let them off the hook, you know,
the media let them off the hook, but do not
let him off the hook.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You know, do you believe that men should be in
women's sports? Right?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I mean in all of these eighty twenty issues, Dan
says a Texter. Maybe because it was a Democrat like
you until old school politics turned me to the GOP
twenty seven years ago. I won't cross the picket line either.
That from Donna, Thank you, Donna. I did learn during
the break that looks like the strike is mainly over
inadequate staffing, and the union saying that quote workers are
(12:54):
being asked to do the jobs of two three four
workers and customers see this lack of staffing in the
form of long lines, empty shelves, shuttered departments like delis
or meat counters and bakeries.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
According to the Union, Brian and Arvada, you're on the
dan Kaplis.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
She'll welcome, Hey Dan.
Speaker 8 (13:13):
Yeah, I won't cross the picket line. I don't even
know who's right, But when it comes to disputes on labor,
I don't want to get involved. Like during COVID, I
knew the mask was stupid and it was completely wrong.
So I was that one guy in the store without
a mask because I was sure about that. So I
set up for what I believed in. But this I
just don't have the knowledge of who's you know, what
(13:35):
the whole dispute's about, and it's kind of uncomfortable. You
kind of want to go for the workers. So yeah, yeah,
I guess I'll just stand in long lines at Safeway now,
because everybody's gonna be rolling over the Safeway. We're ill
gonna have to wait an hour.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
If you tried instacurt from Safeway? Have you tried instacurt
from Safeway?
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Have you heard of instacurrent?
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Is it possible?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
My wife turned me.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
On to it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, just look up the app I n s t
a cart and then you can plug in. Dan, you're
gonna lose some weight. No, hey, that's that may be
the key to happiness, my friend. Thank you for the call.
But yeah, instacart, my wife turned me onto it and
(14:19):
it's it's a great great savings.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I but this texture, is it? Right? Dan?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Instacart is definitely crossing the picket line. The point is
to reduce King Super's business to get their attention. Chuck
at King Supers Retiree. You're right about that, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I will not be instacarting from King Supers, as much
as I love the.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Store during this strike. I'm going to honor the strike.
But if you have not tried instacart, get that app.
It is so good and and just not very expensive
at all. Be sure to leave a good tip. As
a guy who's worked many years for tips, not anymore
nobody tips or lawyer? What's that all about?
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Can we start a little campaign. I'm joking.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm joking it so anyway, I'm tired. Some of these
texts are getting too long today, but I sure appreciate
the enthusiasm. Dan, Curious woman killed in southern Colorado two
and a half weeks ago by animal attack. No news reports.
First reports said not a mountain lion. And want to know.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
What the facts are in that. Have you heard about that? Ryan, Nope, Kelly, Chuck,
tell me if you guys think this could possibly be
just a coincidence, right. Thirty second version of the story.
My brother comes in to visit.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Me while I'm in college or maybe law school, and
we're hitchhiking up to Estes Park. Didn't have a car.
Then picked him up at the airport with a sign
that said Boulder. We're hitchhiking up to Este's Park. Somebody
drops us off out in North Boulder, and I'm telling
them that, hey, just a not a week or to go.
But sometime recently there was a little kid mauled by
(15:56):
a pack of dogs, torn completely apart. It was amazing
he lived. So we were hoping, Okay, I hope we
don't get malt here. Long story short, We're hitchhiking back
late that night, like ten or eleven at night.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
We get picked up in Esty's Park.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We get into both of us getting to the back
of this SUV type thing, and Ryan, who do you
think is sitting between us in the back of the suv.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
The kid who had been mauled by the wild packet dogs.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
What are the odds on that they'd taken the kid
out for some fresh air? What are the odds on that?
And this kid he looked like a baseball. I mean,
there were stitches everywhere, but God loved me. Was the
coolest kid, completely torn apart by that pack of dogs.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Don't see that much of that anymore. How many texts
do it? Which is good?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
How many texts do we have now today on the elk?
This is the issue that will not die and I
get it. I get why people are so upset about
that elk. So we'll follow up on that today. If
you're new to the story, beautiful elk, it runs off
into this snowfield behind some house and steamboat gets caught
in the snow up to its neck gets trapped. That
(17:04):
wonderful homeowner calls parks and Wildlife. They won't come to
rescue it, which I think is outrageous. Homeowner rescues organized
as a posse. In the morning. They come out with
shovels to save the animal. While they're eating breakfast. The
animal parishes. So that's the story that people are still
responding to and my point is, as a civilized society,
we cannot allow our government to just say they're going
(17:27):
to ignore that animal dying in pain being tortured. Essentially, Dan,
they'll probably charge you.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
A picket fee. Is there such a thing?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
What does that even mean? But no, I'm not going
to honor the picket line. Are you eight five to
five for zero five eight two five five? Then number
and when we come back, some very compelling sound about
the immigration raids.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Going on in Denver. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I don't know how to do it, man, That's that's
great stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
At ninety nine percent of what your play I've never
heard of, but it's really cool. You know, you should
put together some kind of Ryan's playlist, a kind.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Of I had that idea and I got short circuited
because of our our rights do not extend from our
on air portion of the show to the digital online pods.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Which you could write it off. You could host it
as a play of service to humanity totally.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We're waiting on Congressoman Bolbert, this is going to be fun,
and Congressman Gabe Evans joins us at five oh six
because Gabe has waived onto the House Oversight Committee for
the questioning of lawless Mike Johnston and the other Democrats
who are going to appear before the committee to talk
about sanctuary cities.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
So that is great news that Gabe's going to be there.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
In Congressoman Bobert as well, let me get started with
this caller, and then when the congressoman's on the line, guys,
just let me know. And I'm sure Scott you'll understand
right if I have to put you on pause to
talk to the congresswoman.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
But thanks for calling the show. What are you thinking?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Real quick? Yeah, I'm gonna be real quick. U press
release from Jason Crow his website Pro fights Back, Pro
fight Back against Trump must usaid elimination. He's going to
take the decisive action against Donald Trump and Elon Musk
(19:29):
legal dismaniling of the agency.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And what is that action?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
There? You go, I guess he's just okay with my
tax money going to sex changes and Timbuck two.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And you know what the health what do you have
against tim Buck two?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
But here, my friend, is the beauty of this and
I hope you can enjoy it. And that is is
Jason Crow is clearly trying to position for a run
for governor or if hicken Looper steps aside, a run
for Senate. And this will be a thing to behold,
because what you'll see in action, Scott, is you'll see
the Democrats right now eating their own, the Democratic Party
(20:06):
aborting itself on the abortion issue more but on identity politics, because.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
What do you got? What do you got?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You got the Democratic Party in Colorado so high and
mighty about how they're so woke, and the rest of
us are all these bigots. And then look who holds
all the top jobs, you know, except for Griswold, who
is just so obviously incompetent. But you got all these old, boring,
do nothing, accomplish nothing, white guys holding all these top
(20:33):
jobs in the Democratic Party. And I got to tell
you that I'm no political professional, but the ones I
know say there is.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
A revolt brewing.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And there are an awful lot of people of color,
and awful lot of women within the Democratic Party, and
awful lot of them younger who are ready to run
these old white guys out of office. So Jason Crow
really thinks that if Hick and Hooper steps aside. Oh yeah,
the Democratic Party is going to choose another middle age,
older white guy. And the only reason I talk in
(21:02):
terms of identity is that's what the Democratic Party worships.
The opposite of doctor King. They worship identity politics. So
Curl right now is living in this fantasy right world,
in this bubble with some yes men and women telling
him he's the greatest thing ever, believing he really has
a chance, and we're going to enjoy this together because
(21:24):
you know what, he should be judged on his merit,
and based on his merit, he should not hold those
top jobs. But the Colorado Democratic Party will not judge
on merit.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They judge on identity politics.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And they're sick of these white guys hypocritically talking all
this DEI stuff and then taking all the top jobs.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Absolutely, I'm glad you're having a Bogart on because I
called her office yesterday and I had a suggestion, maybe
you can talk to her about US. Matt. We need
to get the list of this garbage that's gone to
this usaid. This list needs to be it's on the
White House, yeah, dot com or whatever it is. But
(22:07):
I FI got to the people because it's not going
to go They're not going to get deach tales from
MSLSD and the Wayne Street Press. But it's got to
get to the people because I don't care who you are,
ninety nine to so little people are going to be
pissed when they see what this money, our tax money's
going to.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Amen, my friend, and listen.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I just think on a gut level now, just from
what people have heard, I think most people are saying, yeah, no,
that sounds like a bunch of craziness there. And I'm
sure there are some good things, but I don't think
you see any broad pushback across America on Trump right
now cracking down on us. Eight fascinating, fascinating editorial in
the Denver Post, and I'll get some sound that ties
(22:48):
into this editorial. Ice walks a thin line in Aurora
in Denver as it searches for one hundred quote gang
members but knocks on everyone's door. Wait a second, how
can can you be critical of them knocking on everyone's door?
How else are you going to find these people? You
think they all live together in the same apartment. I mean,
(23:11):
what do you think goes on there? And this ties
into a question that nine News asked of an ICE official.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
This is the day the President Donald Trump's mass immigration
rates came to Colorado. One goal was clearly achieved, creating
fear and uncertainty and immigrant communities that deportations could happen
at any time.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I'm sorry, Ryan, can you check me on this? I
thought they were only deporting folks here illegally.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well he won't even say that. He says without authorization.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, but I mean, wait a second, that report just
suggested that they're deporting folks here legally.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Well, he's insinuating and kind of blurring the lines on that.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Absolutely, you are a generous man.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
It's not clear, however, if another objective was met, actually
removing a significant number of island criminals.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
From the streets. What's a significant number. I know the
answer to that. There's only one answer. What's a significant number?
Significant number is one?
Speaker 6 (24:11):
One.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
It is immoral. It is completely unjustifiable to leave one
person on the streets who's here illegally and has committed
other crimes. Right, And I'm sure that anybody out there,
no matter what line of work, be their reporter or
anybody else, would say, yeah, if that one person was
going to victimize their family. Yeah, that person should be removed.
(24:35):
So that's the answer, even one.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
A goal that is widely shared by Colorado's community leaders.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Total garbage, Total garbage that the Democratic Party in Colorado
has ferociously opposed efforts to deport people here illegally who
have not only convicted other committed other crimes. They have
been convicted and they're now on probation or parole. Remember
police sign that law, sign that law that makes it
(25:03):
extraordinarily hard for probation and parole officers to cooperate with ice.
So at that point they're fully exposed and it ain't pretty.
They are devoted to protecting people here illegally. You've committed
other crimes and are on probation. Why would any sane
person want to do that? Does anybody have an answer
to that?
Speaker 6 (25:20):
What about this category too, Dan?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
This one gets my dander up, and I think I'm
to the right of you on this issue, and that
is people who filed for asylum claims or adjudicated or refused,
lost that claim and then just stick around in our
country indefinitely.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, Or how about the folks who have entered illegally
after being deported, right, That is a crime at that
that is a crime, and those folks I believe should
be prosecuted as well. But the starting point, the starting
point is the folks here illegally, you've committed other crimes.
Because I've said it before, I'll say it again. I
(25:54):
know it's not popular, but every person listening knows it's true.
And I bet it's the same experience from everybody listening.
Some of the very best people I have ever met
are in this country illegally. It doesn't mean that the
border should be open, it doesn't mean that should be allowed.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
That's just the reality.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
At the same time, some of the worst people to
ever set foot in Colorado came into this country illegally,
and Jared Poulis and the Democratic Party went out of
their way to protect those people, protect those people by
tying the hands of probation officers from cooperating with ICE.
And I still would like to answer that question, why
(26:33):
do you think they did that. It's obviously so societal suicidal,
it's obviously so fundamentally wrong placing convicted criminals interest over
those of peaceful citizens. Why do you think they did that?
I'd love to get your take on that I've got
my own theory. This sound gets too long, especially when
I'm interrupting it, but it goes.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
On to get to this question.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
The nine News poses to an ICE official, Hey, you know,
why are you knocking on every door? And the ICE
official says, because people change apartments, people move apartments. We
know who we're looking for, but they're not all going
to sit in the same apartment. We've got to go
find them in the complex. So why would the left
(27:19):
be upset about that?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It just goes back to the same kind of dishonesty
from the left and their media arm. But there is
a critical admission in the Denver Post editorial today that
I want to get to you right out of this break.
I also want to hear from you if you don't mind,
are you going to honor the King Soopers picket lines
in the Denver area?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I am?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And then Congressoman Bulbert, who's going to be on that
House Oversight committee questioning lawless Mike Johnston and other lefty
mayors on sanctuary City. We expect now to have her
next You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
And believe you can't be happy without religion.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Without that belief, I really believe it. I just don't
see how you can be.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
So let's bring religion back. Let's bring God back into
our lives. Yeah, and President Trump announcing it. That's same
prayer breakfast. A task force on anti Christian bias, long overdue.
Glad he's doing it. Let's go to the VIP line.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
She is a warrior.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Congresswoman Lauren Bolbert, welcome back to the Dan Kapla Show,
the place it all started standon.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
It is great to be with you.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Well, thank you. These have to be particularly fun times
for you. Yes.
Speaker 10 (28:41):
So this is incredible because we are seeing President Trump
deliver immediately on promises that he made on the campaign trail. Now,
obviously President Trump has been on the trail for four
years now, just about and he's made many, many promises,
and so there are still more to come, and it
is up to Congress to codify and make into law
(29:05):
what the work that he is doing. But he has
been absolutely incredible at the work that he has done
so far. And you know, I think in the House
we need to even be more aggressive. I've started putting
pressure on leadership to bring to the floor daily the
executive orders that President Trump has been issuing and start
(29:28):
getting actual Congressional votes on him.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
And now I think also President Trump continues with this success,
which I expect, you may have a bigger majority, well
any majority, it'd be a bigger majority, right, but you
may have a bigger majority after the midterms.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Well, don't believe that this next midterm will be like others. Statistically,
the party that it has the White House does poorly
in the midterms. But President Trump is doing just such
an excellent at exposing waste fraud abuse and delivering on
his promises securing our country. We're already seeing Tom Homan
(30:07):
our borders are get to work with ICE agents and
other law enforcement officers in places like Aurora and Denver.
And I think that this will be a very exciting
midterm election.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, and this one I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And you're right about the usual trend obviously, but I
think there's been a realignment that's been forced by President Trump,
and this success continues. I think it's going to turn
the midterm on it said, but let me ask you
a Congressmoman, the Oversight Committee, you have lawless Mike Johnston,
the mayor of Denver, and other Democrat mayors coming in
to try to justify and deny sanctuary city realities. And
(30:42):
so you're going to be part of the questioning that day,
Can you give us a little preview?
Speaker 10 (30:48):
Yes, so, I will be in the Oversight Accountability Committee
hearing and Mayor Johnson has agreed to come before our
committee on March fifth, and I have many questions for them.
I think one of the most obvious questions is why
keep and continue with the sanctuary policies that prevent local
(31:10):
law enforcement officers from coordinating with ICE agents. We have
seen Mayor Johnston kind of, you know, tiptoe around the
issue and say, well, if they were going to come
after actual criminal aliens, then we would do everything we
could to coordinate with them. But he's not allowing them
(31:31):
to go after anyone right now with those policies in place.
And as we've heard our new Press Secretary Caroline love
It and even President Trump say, if you broke our
nation's laws to come here illegally, you are a criminal.
And again that's not the focus that ICE has right
(31:51):
now as a priority. But we need to quit making
excuses and just allow our law enforcement offsters to do
their job.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Amen, And boy, I wish there was a judge there
in these committee here in Congress, women who could just
like the way they do in courteous crack down on
these witnesses who are philipbustering and not answering the question
and being deceptive because you're going to ask all the
right questions. He's not going to address your question. He's
going to philipbuster, he's going to throw deceptive stuff out there.
(32:20):
And yeah, I think that's how a witness like him
just avoids accountability in these things.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Sure, and I have four years of experience of that
personally now, having witnesses come before us, and especially those
who are in political positions or are are federally employed,
even there's all sorts of excuses. We've even seen this
with the USAID funding and other things where they are
(32:50):
questioned and ask where money is going and what it
is being spent on, and we're given non answers. So
it is up to the men who is controlling the
time to do the best that we can to get
those answers and ask the right questions. But it is
unfortunate that they could come with non answers as well.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And just pass the buck well and you do great
with that. But God love you for it, because I
consider myself a real good cross examiner. But you're in
a much tougher scenario than I am, because I'm in
a courtroom, there's a judge there, there's a jury sitting there,
and in your situation, you've got a handful of minutes,
no judge to really enforce the rules. You've got to
control that witness all on your own without a judge's help,
(33:32):
and that takes a lot. So God love you, and
I hope you're able to pin Mike Johnston down because
if you can get to the truth with him, he
is indefensible.
Speaker 10 (33:44):
Yes, I absolutely agree, And you know, if your listeners
or you have things that you want answered, specifically, send
those my way and I'll be sure to incorporate that
in what I have planned to discuss with him. But again, yes,
we do have just a few at the peace and
we're going to try to get as much information as
possible so not only can we expose to Colorado into
(34:07):
and Americans throughout the country of what's going on, but
also so we could get policy right to ensure that
mistakes aren't made in the future.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Well, I've got a great starting point.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I mean, as spokesman said yesterday, Johnson's going to say
all these he calls them newcomers, unless they're coming into
his house in the middle of the night, which nobody
should do. But but yeah, he's going to say, hasn't
hasn't made the city less safe, hasn't impacted course services.
We've got to go now with that music, Congresswoman, But
thank you for your time today. Keep up the good
(34:37):
work and we'll catch you next time. Thank you so much,
by thank you, Take care, Congressoman Laura Bolbert Hey.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Congressman Gabe Evans joins us after the break. He's already
on that star trek in DC.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But he has been waived onto the Oversight Committee, so
he will also have a chance to question Mike Johnston
and other sanctuary city mayors. Gave Evans next on The
Dan Kapla Show.
