Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) has put together a 'greatest hits' album of classic takes, and Dan revisits one of those where the Senator asks 'health experts' the simple question - 'do you support abortion up to the moment of birth for a healthy mother and a healthy infant?'
Kentucky state representative Sarah Stalker (D) expresses that she 'doesn't feel good about being white every day,' and goes on to describe her white privilege. Dan and Ryan scoff at this notion.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Is getting closer.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We could use one more good snow and open the mountains,
could use one every day. Doesn't look like we're going
to get it, so we will just enjoy this. Three

If you are listening today from outside of Colorado, well
we'll light a candle for you. Wish you were here,
depending upon right, three or three seven one three eight
(00:41):
two five five.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So lots to dig into today.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I had a revelation last night, and my revelations come
in different categories. I don't know about yours. Ryan, what's
the outfit today? You're you're in some team's gear head
to toe.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
This is a tribute to my buddy hotch down in Tampa,
the Bucket playing tonight Thursday night football against the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, and they're.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Probably what you're probably one of four people outside of
Tampa Bay or Atlanta who care about that game.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But but you do care, and that's impressive.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I care a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You wear it on your sleeve.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Literally, where do you get these jerseys? It's just like
from a sponsor. This is Cadillac Williams. You remember him,
Carnell Cadillac. I do, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me this,
mister sports trivia expert.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Looky, looky, here comes Cookie. What significance does that have
in Denver Bronco history?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Oh, that one, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, and you couldn't be expected too as good as
you are.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
But the Broncos early on had this this tremendous player
named Cookie something, can't remember the last name.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Really cool guy.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And he got this big, beautiful new car and he
had written on the side of it, looky, looky, here
comes Cookie.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, there's just a lot of rich Bronco history. Most
people don't realize the team was leaving. The team was
leaving after a few years formed in the early sixties,
and then what became the AFL and the NFL were
merging AFC, NFC were merging into the current NFL, and
(02:13):
that was a really big deal because these whole startup
teams league that the Broncos were part of, now they
were going to join the big boys and you know
the rest of the history. But Denver was not going
to have a team anymore because part of the merger
requirement was a bigger stadium.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And can you believe.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Ryan, there was a time I think it was sixty
eight when the voters of the Metro area turned down
a bond issue to build a stadium and keep the
team there. So the team was leaving, and the only
way the team ended up staying is fans took to
the streets, literally, street corners, collecting money in buckets, going
door to door, having bake sales, literally raised the money
(02:49):
that way to expand the stadium and keep the team.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Do you remember where they might be moving to the Broncos.
I don't think it ever got that far. Okay, good, Yeah,
I think it was just.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Said, oh no, you can't be a part of you know,
once the voters turned down that bond issue, and then
you look at how everything has changed then, so there
needs to be more of a tribute out there somewhere
around Colorado the metro area, though it's Colorado's team right
in the regions, tribute somewhere to Allen and Gerald Phipps,
who brought the Broncos here and then shepherded them through
(03:21):
the early years and everything else. And yeah, because that's
the amazing thing about sports teams. They're more than just that.
Because it would be pretty silly, right at the end
of the day for us to sit around and get
all worked up about a bunch of folks, most of
whom are not from Colorado, who happen to wear our
laundry and win games, and we get all worked up
(03:41):
about it. But that would be silly. That's not what
we get worked up about. What we get worked up
about goes back to I believe the way we were created,
and the way we were created, I think is to
want to be with each other, to want to be unified,
to want to do things together and for each other.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And sports have.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Become one of the few outlets out there for that
obviously organized religion before that and I saw stat Ryan,
I've got to look it up to make sure it's
fully updated, but that the number of people who attend
church services including Syneggue, Moske, etc.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But obviously overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Christian percentage wise, vastly outnumber those who attend sports every
week in America. But we are created I believe to
want that and to need that and to enjoy that,
and sports is a great.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Way to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You go out to the stadium seventy five thousand people,
even if you don't go to the stadium, it's something.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We have in common that we can be talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You know, whether it's awful results as it was for
many decades with the Broncos are winning and right now,
what do you think the odds are?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I talked to a buddy today put together a parley
on Nuggets, Broncos, and Avs all winning their championships.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Oh that's a parlay.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You put one hundred bucks down on it. What do
you think it pays?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
One hundred bucks pays out ten grand, thirty three thirty
three grand.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, so you've got three teams that really could win it. So,
whether it's kind of salad days like this, say a
prayer for the Rockies, or whether it's you know, just
the really dark days, it's still a.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Unifying thing for us, and so that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That that's why I believe sports is so critical to
a community. And so yeah, we're pretty lucky here. Three
h three someone three eight two five five takes d
a N five seven seven three nine. I come back
to this, so, Ryan, if there's a team, and there's
not right now, but if there is a if there's
a Denver sports team and it has kind of a
(05:43):
primary cog, who is just a flaming blank hole, I'm
just not going to care about that team.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm not going to root for that team whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
If that's the identity of the team, no, then that
that just counters everything else. But fortunately, from what I
can tell, I don't know these guys personally.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
From what I can.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Tell, it's a pretty good group of folks on all
of those teams.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Anyway, glad you're here.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But that's how I got talking about the premonition thing,
because I got these different layers of confidence in different
you know, I get these very strong premonitions which are locks,
you're just certain it's going to happen. I called those
my earthquake premonitions. That's happened in the case of earthquakes twice,
where I just knew a big earthquake was coming, and
(06:32):
I mean I proved it. I knew it to the
point where I did things like call the radio studio,
you know, before it woke up before the earthquake hit.
In one case, the night before, told Amy there's gonna
be an earthquake the next day, here's what you do
to protect yourself while I go on airth that kind
of stuff. So there's earthquake certain, this is not earthquake certain, right,
(06:53):
but I feel pretty darn sure about this one.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And that is that. And again, this is a prediction.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
By the way, I'm not reporting news if you just
turned in, But my prediction is that Governor Polis is
going to commute the sentence of Tina Peters. I think
that's going to happen. Really yeah, I think that's why
do you think that's going to happen. Poulis always acts
in his best interest, right. You combine that with the
fact that while I believe she was properly convicted, her
(07:24):
sentence is way too long. She's also not a spring Chicken,
GoldStar mom, no prior offenses, and Polis also has moving
forward politically, and I think it weighs on him psychologically
as well. This horrific injustice he did when he stepped in,
(07:47):
overruled the jury, overruled the judge for a killer trucker
who had knowingly engaged in all of these actions. The
jury found, you must have known that he could easily
kill people when he did burn five people live and
after the jury did it's hard work and the judge
did its hard work, an offense infinitely worse than Tina Peters.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And I think she's guilty as charged and should have
been charged and.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Was rightfully convicted. But the offense of this killer trucker
was infinitely worse than Tina Peters. And Paula steps in overrules,
the judge, overrules the jury and cuts a sentence from
one hundred years to ten, meaning he gets out in five.
That is one of the gravest miscarriages of justice that
(08:38):
we've ever seen in Colorado. That's and I don't mean
this next phrase in the technical statutory sense, but it
was obstruction of justice in its raws form, not the
criminal obstruction of justice, but more importantly, morally practically obstruction
of justice in its rows form. All the pleas Kim
(08:59):
kardash and people on the left police knows that was
fundamentally wrong. So you have that action by Jared Polis,
and then on the other side of the ledger you
have Tina Peters did something she shouldn't have done, convicted
for it. But any fair minded person looking at the sentence,
I think, agrees that sentence is too long for a
(09:22):
senior citizen first offender who, while she should not have
done it, ultimately didn't do any lasting harm to society
as compared to the trucker who burned all these people
alive and caused mass wreckage and these other injuries.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Out on the highway.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, but you come back to his self interest. I
think it's in Jared Polus's self interest to commute Tina
Peter's sentence. Says he now tries to position himself in
some kind of moderate lane for a future presidential run
or whatever other he's hoping for. So yeah, that's my
(10:02):
prediction that he will commute the sentence off teen Peters
three or three seven three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It's legal in Vermont, New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Order Kennedy, Colorado.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
New Mexico, Alaska in the district of Columbia and the
Lend wing of the Democratic Party supports abortion up to
the moment of birth. So do you support that or
opposing I don't think.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Let me say, I'm here to talk about the economics
of abortion, and I ask wilia question is a person,
which I'll answer, is a person?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Can you tell me?
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I will tell you as a person that I have
ambivalence about abortion. I will tell you as a person
I haven't personally had an abortion, And I will also
tell you as a person looking at the evidence around
me and understanding how complex the decisions are that people face.
I'm just simply uncomfortable as I swomen and their health
(11:15):
care providers.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It's real simple.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
You either support abortion for a healthy mother and baby
up to the moment of birth, you don't, And I
don't think it's a difficult question. How about you, doctor,
do you support if the mother is healthy and the baby,
support abortion up to the moment of birth?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
So, Senator, you're using really inflammatory language.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
To time, He tries to pinter down that that's the
point and the reason I do that today is it's
always so important here, but also as the GOP candidates
head into this election cycle, do not run away from abortion.
I'm not saying people should lead their campaign campaigns with it,
but don't run away from it. First of we be
wrong to do that, just right and wrong to be
(12:02):
wrong to do a Second, the Democrats are so vulnerable
on this because they've taken a monstrous position on it,
and when they are pinned down, they prants around pretending
like there's some kind of moderates and the people who
want to save innocent life are the extremists, just like
people pretended the abolitionists who wanted to save the slaves
and end slavery were extremist.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And so yeah, they've just got to be pinned down.
So isn't it true?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Senator Bennett who now wants to be governor, a Senator
Hick and Looper who wants to remain a Senator. That
healthy mom, healthy baby, you believe it should be legal
to dismember that baby at full nine months, just before delivery.
And then all of a sudden, John Hick and Looper,
who likes to be the aw shocks bartender guy looks
like a monster and he's not a monster, but he
(12:48):
supports something that's truly evil and monstrous, and he must know,
just like Bennis must know, and polists and everybody else,
that it's truly evil and monstrous, but they support it
in order to get and keep power. So that's what
you candidates need to do. Expose them as the monstrous
extremists they are when it comes to that fundamental civil
(13:09):
rights issue of our lifetime. Three or three someone, three, eight, two, five,
five of the number which, by the way, and these
guys pretend to be so enlightened and to care about
people of color, It is the single most racist policy
in America since slavery, legalized abortion?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Racist in effect?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
My lord?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Can you imagine a policy that all these guys know,
the Johnson's eck.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And Lupers of Bennet's poliss They all know it. Every
one of them know it.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
That this policy that they are so devoted to that
they kneel before that they light up billions to glorify.
This policy kills four blacks for every white it kills,
and it shouldn't be allowed to kill anybody. Is there
a more racist in effect policy in American history since slavery?
(14:00):
A policy they know will actually kill mass numbers of
blacks before birth, far more than whites or any other race. Yeah,
it sounds pretty racist in effect to me. And again,
nobody should be killed. None of the innocent should be killed.
Three or three someone three eight, two, five, five the numbers.
So we're starting it off light today, my friend, I'm
sure you can feel that back there. Yeah, what is
(14:25):
our friend alexis saying?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Inflammatory language? Complete bs that from Alexis. I'm sure she's
not referring to my last riff there. What is our
friend Alexa referring to? Do you have a sense of
that Ryan? Ryan's normally the inflammatory language.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah, well you just heard and the woman accusing Senator
John Kennedy saying, do.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You support abortions in the moment of Earth? That's inflammatory language.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I had missed that part, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
But it is fun to see them squirm, especially these
people who pretend to be such intellectuals, et cetera, when
when they know, okay, this is a kill shot, they
can't answer it.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
They can't answer it.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Because and that's a sad thing to me, because you
have so many people and I used to be a Democrat,
you have so many people in power on the Democrats.
I'm not talking about your typical democrat in power who
have just knowingly decided to do something they know is
monstrous and wrong on every level in order to get
(15:27):
and keep power. And it's yeah, hey, we all got
our own stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But I do not know how they live with that one.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Dan, I agree with you about Tina Peters. She'll serve
the entirety of her sentence. So too many people, like
Jimmy Sendenberger, thinks she should have been given death sends.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I don't think Jimmy believes that, so.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
A partner, even prol is out of the question. She'll
die in prison. Well, I sure hope you're wrong, and
I do believe you're wrong, and I laid it out
in detail to start the show.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
If she just joined us, thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Why I do believe that Polus is going to commute
the sentence of Tina Peters. There are additional reasons to
that long list I gave earlier, you know, one of which.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Is there is a very real chance that when the
Colorado appellate process is done, that she would win at
the federal level.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm not predicting that because nobody can sit here and
look in the eye and tell you this is how
a federal judge is going to rule or not. But
based upon the ruling, the language used by the court,
and the order dismissing application for rid of habeas corpus,
which I have in front of me right now.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'd say, in my nicotine stained hands to honor.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Rush, but I've never smoked a cigarette without the judge rights.
Essentially what the judge says this listen, I got to
dismiss this thing. I can't step in now because the
Colorado Court of Appeals is looking at this and the
state gets first crack. But then he goes on to say,
very respective, judge, without question, Ms Peters raises important constitutional
(16:55):
questions concerning whether the trial court improperly punished her more
severely because of her protected First Amendment speech. You get
a respected federal magistrate judge saying that you're Jared Polus.
You're sitting there thinking, you know what, it's probably a
pretty good chance she's going to win at the appellate
level somewhere along the way here and be out anyway.
(17:17):
The other thing for poulis, on top of the other
reasons I mentioned earlier, why he would view it as
in his best political interest as he tries to carve
out this image of some kind of moderate is that
Trump is going to pound them. Trump is going to
pound Colorado because Poulis refuses to move Tena Peters to
(17:39):
a federal facility where she could then be released. And
he's already started, you know, with this invest civil rights
investigation of the Colorado State prison system and President Trump
peace their strength that you can bet that's not the
end of it. And Jared Poulis knows that. But bottom
line is it would just be the right thing to do. Yes,
I believe she was properly charged, guilty as charge, properly convicted,
(18:04):
But I think most people agree this sentence is way
too heavy for a first time offender, no criminal history,
gold star mom.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And while she shouldn't have done what she did, she didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Cause any lasting harm as compared to that the trucker
who knows knowingly consciously killed all those people out on
the highway, jury convicted him, took a cup of coffee
to convict him on multiple, multiple homicide charges. The court
then sentenced him to one hundred years, and Polis steps
(18:37):
in and knocks it down. So the guy will be
out within five. No, a whole lot of reasons. I
think Polis is going to commute this sentence three out
three ey seven three eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
What do you think You're on the Dan Capitalist Show.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So to Kentucky's state representative, shockingly a Democrat.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
I'm going to be honest. I don't feel good about
being white every day for a lot of reasons, because
it's a point of privilege that I get to move
through the world in a way that so many of
my other colleagues and friends and family members of the
community don't get the privilege to do. And I'm just
a female, but just a woman, just a white woman.
(19:24):
If I was a white man, I would be functioning
from a point of even greater privilege.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
How does human get to that point? I feel very
badly for that. She must not have ever heard of
doctor King I have.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Are my poor little children one day live in a
nation where they will not be judged by the color
of mak skin, but by the content of that character
I have?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And that is.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Get to this point the modern Democratic Party, that is
their worst nightmare, that the prophetic words of doctor King
come true, that we achieved that dream of being color blunt.
It's not the color of your skin, it's the contact
of your conda, of your character. It's merit, as the
doctor King died for. That that's what we should all
(20:22):
be striving for. But not the modern Democratic Party. No,
they've got to have us divided. They've got to have
you just identifying yourself by the color of your skin.
And if the color of your skin is black, that
means you vote Democrat because they can't give you a
good reason too, So it's going to be no, you
got to vote that way. That's the collor of your skin.
It's it's so sick three or three someone three eight
(20:42):
two five five? Ryan, What do you think prompted this
person who obviously has a functioning brain, right, she's a
she's so it's not like somebody who just got hit
by a semi let's hold yeah, and they've got just
a massive brain injury.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Ouch. How do you get to the point where you
say something like.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
This, I'm going to be honest, I don't feel good
about being white every day?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
What days does she feel good about being white? Never?
I think, all come on, she just said some days.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think she said every day again I will, I will, no, no, no, no,
I I think there's some days she does. Now, I
think it's very important that we find out which days
those are.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
For a lot of reasons, a.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Point of presence, I know do that, but I am
curious about this to the beginning.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
I'm going to be honest. I don't feel good about
being white every day.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I don't feel good about being white every day. Implying
there are some days she does, and what days do
you think those are?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I'd love to hear from people on that.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Three or three, five, three or three sevene three eight
two five five text d A N five seven, seven,
three or nine?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Which days do you think those.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Are talking about this? Earlier? Dan?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
How many days in a year do you wake up
thinking about being white at all?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Good?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Better, and different? Ryan?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Can you bring in that stack of bibles or does
somebody take them?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
As we keep a polygraph and the stack of bibles
back there so Ryan can wheel them ount.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
When I say this, I can tell you right now
there has.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Not been one minute of my relatively short life when
I've thought about being white.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
And is that part of your white privilege? Because you
don't have to think about him. I'm just kind of
giving you a devil's advocate with the left would say.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I think it's just part of having good parents and
thinking right, which is race is irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
If I can add to that, Dan, because I get
real worked up over this, Like you, I had wonderful
parents who were not at all racist. I grew up
in the eighties watching Eddie Murphy on SNLEN with his movies,
watching Michael Jackson.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
He was one of my favorite musicians.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Talk about the other stuff in another day, watching The
Cosby Show again, other stuff for another day. But my
point being, Prince was one of my favorite musicians of
the eighties. I never thought about the fact, well they're black,
I'm white, therefore they're different, and maybe I shouldn't watch
them or I can't like their music. Their art never
crossed my mind. I thought they were awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I mean, this whole thing is is just so foreign, right.
I mean, I grew up in what Doctor King called
he may have called the most racist place in.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
America, Chicago's House Oude of Chicago.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, because I remember sitting on the street corner and
my parents were true civil rights pioneers in many different ways.
But I remember sitting on this street curb on sixty
seventh Street waiting for Doctor King to come down our street.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
He was we they called off day camp that day.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I went to day camp at Market Park, and they
called off day camp because Doctor King was going to
walk march to Market Park. He never made it because
racist stoned him. And so I got to grow up
in an area where I had these tremendous civil rights parents,
and then I got to see the worst of the
(24:18):
haters and the losers who are racist. Because racist, I
mean by definition, a racist is a loser and a
racist is an idiot by definition. So I got to
see the best in my parents and some others, including
the priests at my seminary, who are tremendous civil rights advocates.
(24:38):
And then I got to see the worst in these
American Nazis. And they would on the South side of Chicago,
you had full Schwashtika billboards. You would have a schwashedik
on a billboard for the white Nazi. And I remember
when I came out to see you on the even scholarship,
the first ballot I ever received, when I turned eighteen.
(24:58):
That must have been the one where I voted for
Jim Carter first ballot. I received a Democrat, Republican and
White Power Party or something to that effect. So I
got to see those losers, you know, first hand, up close.
And doctor King. Yeah, he marched into the heart of
that courageous man that he was. And I remember sitting
(25:19):
at home and the evening news watching these riots where
I was supposed to be at day camp that day.
Needless to say, he never made it to where I
was sitting in the curb waiting for him to get to.
My parents didn't have the heart to tell me he
was never going to make it there because he was
never scheduled to march that far down sixty seventh. But
I wanted to wait and see doctor King, and they
were going to let me. But yeah, So that's the
(25:41):
way I was raised and grew up, which is, you know,
it's irrelevant except for the fact that you have a
whole bunch of people who you know are being given
a hard time because of the race, and got to
change that. In America's made tremendous drides there, which the
modern Democratic Party just hates, right because it is still
trying to divide people by race. So if we can
(26:05):
get her on this, Kentucky State Rep. Sarah Stalker would
love to find out which day she does feel good
about being white. How pathetic it would be, how pathetic
it would be to ever sit there and feel bad
that you were a member of a particular race.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I was just gonna say that, Dan, I no more
feel worse bad about being white than I would expect
a black person feel for being black, or a Hispanic
person for being Hispanic, or an Asian person for being Asian,
or a Native American person for being Native American.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
You are who you are. We're all shades of the
same color.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
In my opinion, right, and obviously that the race should
be irrelevant. But you look at from me for example,
I mean, I don't think there is any person on
the face of the earth who logically or properly could
sit there and say, oh, I'm so proud I'm white now,
because it would be like why I could sit there
(27:04):
and say I'm really proud I'm Irish and I am
one hundred percent both sides right off the boat.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Not my parents but my grandparents.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Because there's just this great history and tradition and overcoming
so much oppression and everything else. So I sit here
and say I'm really proud of being Irish. Doesn't mean
I'm better than anybody else because I'm Irish, but I
do get to wear that south Side Irish jacket.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Heck, yeah you do.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Now, I could see somebody sitting there and being proud
that they're black because look at what black people in
America had overcome, and it's a whole lot better now.
And it's a whole lot better now in part because
a whole lot of white people were willing to die
to free the slaves, and a whole lot of white people,
including a lot of Christians and a lot of Catholic Christians,
(27:53):
led the civil Rights charge along with black people. But yeah,
I could see somebody saying, you know, I'm really proud
out of being black. I'm proud of what my race
is overcoming.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
This guy. I could see that.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I could see people saying, you know, Latino, I'm really
proud of for culture and this, this that that, Just like,
I'm so proud of being Irish. I can't see anybody
just saying, oh, I'm proud because I'm white. Is there
a flaw in that logic, my friend.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I don't take pride in things I can't control, Dan,
like I would say, you should take great pride in
the fact that you run a great law firm. You
guys work hard, you hire the right people, you achieve
things for people that need that help. That's something to
be proud of. To be proud of being white, or
that you have blue eyes, or that you know immutable characteristics,
they're just assigned to you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
No, And I think it's more though, It's more the
being proud of. In my case, I'm really proud of
what the Irish in America have accomplished. Yeah, doesn't believe
it's superior to anybody else, but just I'm proud of
that and proud of my heritage there, you know. Just
(29:05):
and I think this is the very same canon should
be said by black people, by latinos, et cetera, go
right on down the list. But these people who think
they're superior because of their race, what we know just
by definition is they're losers. I mean, how much of
a loser. How much of a moron would you have
(29:26):
to be to say, Oh, I'm superior because of the
color God made me. Yeah, I mean that's just ridiculous.
I'm just talking logically and analytically. That's like the ultimate
moron to begin with. So all I'm saying is this
white Democrat state rep. Who talks about how she's so
(29:47):
embarrassed to be white. You know, she needs to read
and listen to the teachings of doctor King, content of character,
not color of skin.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Did you ever see Michael Flatlee, Irish answered no, I'd
love to though, I love to see that really cool
three out three seven three two five five the number
text e A N five seven seven three nine. The
coolest thing about my one trip to Ireland hundred percent Irish,
both sides, was I went with my uncle, Catholic priest,
and so he wore his collar and this is back
(30:24):
in the day, and so he was he looked like
Teddy Kennedy, you know, and and you know a much
better version of Teddy Kennedy. But when Teddy Kennedy was young,
really handsome guy. But you go to Ireland with your
uncle the priest wearing a collar, you can get on
any golf course anytime you want.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
To remember being on.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
The first t at Tipperary Country Club and Roger's up
there and good golfer, good player, and he hooks one
into the woods and he starts cursing up a storm,
and you know, there were people covering their ears and
running away. And I was used to it because it's
Rog and he's a great Catholic and he's a great
(31:05):
He's been a tremendous priest for a lot of years.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
He still does probably three or four masses a week
in ninety three.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
But but yeah, no, that was That's probably not what
folks were used to in Tipperary, Ireland. But Roger's very intense.
Another great Rog story, you know, works Chicago. He's been
working parishes all over the city for a long time,
and he's in the parish. But he was crossing a
street in downtown Chicago because he was at Holy Named
(31:31):
Cathedral at the time.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
And it was by.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
My timing right, I think it was during that whole
scandal where you had some pretty small minority, but one
would be way too many doing demonic stuff, horrible things
to kids. And he's crossing the street and so some
guy yelled fu or whatever, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Et cetera. Adam as he's crossing the street in his
collar and Roger said, he just didn't actively flipped him off.
And he said the look on the guy's face as
he turns dropping and sees his.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Priests flipping him off, that, uh, well, I wish I
could have been there for that one.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
But it takes something out that they should have had.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
And Caddy, Yeah, yeah, but I gotta think, I mean,
I gotta think my uncle's one of the great priests
of all time. I mean, he has walked that talk
and he's still out there doing three or four masses
a week, and they jam pack his masses.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Ryan, he he draws him in.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
And I talked to him on the phone.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I'm very privileged to say that I did not well.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
One of the reasons why, thank you. One of the
reasons why he gets these big crowds. First, he's a
cool guy, and he you know, has really good homilies
and all that. But his homilies clockwork, eight minutes, they're done,
and he gets it.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
He's always understood it.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
You know, it's a Saturday night or it's a Sunday morning,
and people have a million things going on in their lives.
You got one chance, you got one message. If you
can't deliver at eight minutes, he can't deliver at eighteen.
And so people know he's going to deliver a good message.
He's gonna have a joke, gonna have a little story,
gonna have a really important point theologically, and he's out,
(33:12):
so people pay attention. It's a beautiful thing. This I
just played because it ticks me off. And you know,
this reporter would never ask a similar question to anybody
other than a conservative. But listen as this CBS News
reporter questions Erica Kirk.
Speaker 10 (33:29):
Erica, one of the most alarming things about Charlie's murder
was the way that some people in this country reacted
to it.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, and not just online.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
This was kind of This was an idea that you
encountered a lot, and the idea was this.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
They kind of justified it.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
They basically said that because Charlie said or believed things
that they believed were controversial or even hateful, that he
somehow had it coming. What do you say to people
who just his death how horrific?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You know that reporter would never ever say that to
anybody on the left, under God forbid.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
A similar circumstance.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
She just wanted to get out there that whole concept.
He had it coming. Yeah, but I think that's the
way it is in this country. People know it. I
think I think it's one of the reasons Trump has won.
But just that question is so offensive, obviously, Erica kirkqwinn.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I'm to say, tell those people that's horrific.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Two important points here, Dan.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
That was barr Weiss, who recently took over the news
division at CBS News, and I would say she's sent
her left, but she's certainly not far left. And it
seemed to me, at least over the course of this interview.
Erica Kirk specifically granted Barry this interview.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Because she had a good relationship with her.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
I'm not sure if she didn't expect that question the
way it was asked, but I just want to provide
that kind.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Of Well, first of all, if people disagree, I'd love
to hear from him on this. You know where to
find me da N five seven seven three nine or
three h three someone three eight two five five. But
first of all, well, the question is and I don't
like to say highly offensive, because who cares. There's all
sorts offensive stuff people need to hear. It is just
so personally insulting, and it's also a very dangerous question
(35:15):
in this context. When you legitimize, I mean by even
introducing it, by even asking about it, you are giving
this concept of justifiable assassination. You're giving it legitimacy by
even introducing it in that setting. These aren't a couple
of people at the end of a bar, and that
(35:39):
is extraordinarily dangerous. Hey, there are whole lot of people
out there saying, not just on social media, he had
a coming just giving that whole concept of justifiable murder,
that kind of platform and credibility. But that's what they do,
and that's what we have to defeat. Three or three
(36:00):
someone three eight two five five Jared Polis this is
coming from the left asking is he really a sleeze

or three seven one three eight two five five The

If you are listening today from outside of Colorado, well
we'll light a candle for you. Wish you were here,
depending upon right, three or three seven one three eight
(00:41):
two five five.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So lots to dig into today.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I had a revelation last night, and my revelations come
in different categories. I don't know about yours. Ryan, what's
the outfit today? You're you're in some team's gear head
to toe.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
This is a tribute to my buddy hotch down in Tampa,
the Bucket playing tonight Thursday night football against the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, and they're.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Probably what you're probably one of four people outside of
Tampa Bay or Atlanta who care about that game.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But but you do care, and that's impressive.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I care a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You wear it on your sleeve.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Literally, where do you get these jerseys? It's just like
from a sponsor. This is Cadillac Williams. You remember him,
Carnell Cadillac. I do, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me this,
mister sports trivia expert.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Looky, looky, here comes Cookie. What significance does that have
in Denver Bronco history?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Oh, that one, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, and you couldn't be expected too as good as
you are.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
But the Broncos early on had this this tremendous player
named Cookie something, can't remember the last name.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Really cool guy.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And he got this big, beautiful new car and he
had written on the side of it, looky, looky, here
comes Cookie.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, there's just a lot of rich Bronco history. Most
people don't realize the team was leaving. The team was
leaving after a few years formed in the early sixties,
and then what became the AFL and the NFL were
merging AFC, NFC were merging into the current NFL, and
(02:13):
that was a really big deal because these whole startup
teams league that the Broncos were part of, now they
were going to join the big boys and you know
the rest of the history. But Denver was not going
to have a team anymore because part of the merger
requirement was a bigger stadium.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And can you believe.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Ryan, there was a time I think it was sixty
eight when the voters of the Metro area turned down
a bond issue to build a stadium and keep the
team there. So the team was leaving, and the only
way the team ended up staying is fans took to
the streets, literally, street corners, collecting money in buckets, going
door to door, having bake sales, literally raised the money
(02:49):
that way to expand the stadium and keep the team.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Do you remember where they might be moving to the Broncos.
I don't think it ever got that far. Okay, good, Yeah,
I think it was just.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Said, oh no, you can't be a part of you know,
once the voters turned down that bond issue, and then
you look at how everything has changed then, so there
needs to be more of a tribute out there somewhere
around Colorado the metro area, though it's Colorado's team right
in the regions, tribute somewhere to Allen and Gerald Phipps,
who brought the Broncos here and then shepherded them through
(03:21):
the early years and everything else. And yeah, because that's
the amazing thing about sports teams. They're more than just that.
Because it would be pretty silly, right at the end
of the day for us to sit around and get
all worked up about a bunch of folks, most of
whom are not from Colorado, who happen to wear our
laundry and win games, and we get all worked up
(03:41):
about it. But that would be silly. That's not what
we get worked up about. What we get worked up
about goes back to I believe the way we were created,
and the way we were created, I think is to
want to be with each other, to want to be unified,
to want to do things together and for each other.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And sports have.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Become one of the few outlets out there for that
obviously organized religion before that and I saw stat Ryan,
I've got to look it up to make sure it's
fully updated, but that the number of people who attend
church services including Syneggue, Moske, etc.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But obviously overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Christian percentage wise, vastly outnumber those who attend sports every
week in America. But we are created I believe to
want that and to need that and to enjoy that,
and sports is a great.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Way to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You go out to the stadium seventy five thousand people,
even if you don't go to the stadium, it's something.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We have in common that we can be talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You know, whether it's awful results as it was for
many decades with the Broncos are winning and right now,
what do you think the odds are?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I talked to a buddy today put together a parley
on Nuggets, Broncos, and Avs all winning their championships.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Oh that's a parlay.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You put one hundred bucks down on it. What do
you think it pays?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
One hundred bucks pays out ten grand, thirty three thirty
three grand.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, so you've got three teams that really could win it. So,
whether it's kind of salad days like this, say a
prayer for the Rockies, or whether it's you know, just
the really dark days, it's still a.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Unifying thing for us, and so that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That that's why I believe sports is so critical to
a community. And so yeah, we're pretty lucky here. Three
h three someone three eight two five five takes d
a N five seven seven three nine. I come back
to this, so, Ryan, if there's a team, and there's
not right now, but if there is a if there's
a Denver sports team and it has kind of a
(05:43):
primary cog, who is just a flaming blank hole, I'm
just not going to care about that team.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm not going to root for that team whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
If that's the identity of the team, no, then that
that just counters everything else. But fortunately, from what I
can tell, I don't know these guys personally.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
From what I can.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Tell, it's a pretty good group of folks on all
of those teams.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Anyway, glad you're here.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But that's how I got talking about the premonition thing,
because I got these different layers of confidence in different
you know, I get these very strong premonitions which are locks,
you're just certain it's going to happen. I called those
my earthquake premonitions. That's happened in the case of earthquakes twice,
where I just knew a big earthquake was coming, and
(06:32):
I mean I proved it. I knew it to the
point where I did things like call the radio studio,
you know, before it woke up before the earthquake hit.
In one case, the night before, told Amy there's gonna
be an earthquake the next day, here's what you do
to protect yourself while I go on airth that kind
of stuff. So there's earthquake certain, this is not earthquake certain, right,
(06:53):
but I feel pretty darn sure about this one.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And that is that. And again, this is a prediction.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
By the way, I'm not reporting news if you just
turned in, But my prediction is that Governor Polis is
going to commute the sentence of Tina Peters. I think
that's going to happen. Really yeah, I think that's why
do you think that's going to happen. Poulis always acts
in his best interest, right. You combine that with the
fact that while I believe she was properly convicted, her
(07:24):
sentence is way too long. She's also not a spring Chicken,
GoldStar mom, no prior offenses, and Polis also has moving
forward politically, and I think it weighs on him psychologically
as well. This horrific injustice he did when he stepped in,
(07:47):
overruled the jury, overruled the judge for a killer trucker
who had knowingly engaged in all of these actions. The
jury found, you must have known that he could easily
kill people when he did burn five people live and
after the jury did it's hard work and the judge
did its hard work, an offense infinitely worse than Tina Peters.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And I think she's guilty as charged and should have
been charged and.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Was rightfully convicted. But the offense of this killer trucker
was infinitely worse than Tina Peters. And Paula steps in overrules,
the judge, overrules the jury and cuts a sentence from
one hundred years to ten, meaning he gets out in five.
That is one of the gravest miscarriages of justice that
(08:38):
we've ever seen in Colorado. That's and I don't mean
this next phrase in the technical statutory sense, but it
was obstruction of justice in its raws form, not the
criminal obstruction of justice, but more importantly, morally practically obstruction
of justice in its rows form. All the pleas Kim
(08:59):
kardash and people on the left police knows that was
fundamentally wrong. So you have that action by Jared Polis,
and then on the other side of the ledger you
have Tina Peters did something she shouldn't have done, convicted
for it. But any fair minded person looking at the sentence,
I think, agrees that sentence is too long for a
(09:22):
senior citizen first offender who, while she should not have
done it, ultimately didn't do any lasting harm to society
as compared to the trucker who burned all these people
alive and caused mass wreckage and these other injuries.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Out on the highway.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, but you come back to his self interest. I
think it's in Jared Polus's self interest to commute Tina
Peter's sentence. Says he now tries to position himself in
some kind of moderate lane for a future presidential run
or whatever other he's hoping for. So yeah, that's my
(10:02):
prediction that he will commute the sentence off teen Peters
three or three seven three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It's legal in Vermont, New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Order Kennedy, Colorado.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
New Mexico, Alaska in the district of Columbia and the
Lend wing of the Democratic Party supports abortion up to
the moment of birth. So do you support that or
opposing I don't think.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Let me say, I'm here to talk about the economics
of abortion, and I ask wilia question is a person,
which I'll answer, is a person?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Can you tell me?
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I will tell you as a person that I have
ambivalence about abortion. I will tell you as a person
I haven't personally had an abortion, And I will also
tell you as a person looking at the evidence around
me and understanding how complex the decisions are that people face.
I'm just simply uncomfortable as I swomen and their health
(11:15):
care providers.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It's real simple.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
You either support abortion for a healthy mother and baby
up to the moment of birth, you don't, And I
don't think it's a difficult question. How about you, doctor,
do you support if the mother is healthy and the baby,
support abortion up to the moment of birth?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
So, Senator, you're using really inflammatory language.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
To time, He tries to pinter down that that's the
point and the reason I do that today is it's
always so important here, but also as the GOP candidates
head into this election cycle, do not run away from abortion.
I'm not saying people should lead their campaign campaigns with it,
but don't run away from it. First of we be
wrong to do that, just right and wrong to be
(12:02):
wrong to do a Second, the Democrats are so vulnerable
on this because they've taken a monstrous position on it,
and when they are pinned down, they prants around pretending
like there's some kind of moderates and the people who
want to save innocent life are the extremists, just like
people pretended the abolitionists who wanted to save the slaves
and end slavery were extremist.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And so yeah, they've just got to be pinned down.
So isn't it true?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Senator Bennett who now wants to be governor, a Senator
Hick and Looper who wants to remain a Senator. That
healthy mom, healthy baby, you believe it should be legal
to dismember that baby at full nine months, just before delivery.
And then all of a sudden, John Hick and Looper,
who likes to be the aw shocks bartender guy looks
like a monster and he's not a monster, but he
(12:48):
supports something that's truly evil and monstrous, and he must know,
just like Bennis must know, and polists and everybody else,
that it's truly evil and monstrous, but they support it
in order to get and keep power. So that's what
you candidates need to do. Expose them as the monstrous
extremists they are when it comes to that fundamental civil
(13:09):
rights issue of our lifetime. Three or three someone, three, eight, two, five,
five of the number which, by the way, and these
guys pretend to be so enlightened and to care about
people of color, It is the single most racist policy
in America since slavery, legalized abortion?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Racist in effect?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
My lord?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Can you imagine a policy that all these guys know,
the Johnson's eck.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And Lupers of Bennet's poliss They all know it. Every
one of them know it.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
That this policy that they are so devoted to that
they kneel before that they light up billions to glorify.
This policy kills four blacks for every white it kills,
and it shouldn't be allowed to kill anybody. Is there
a more racist in effect policy in American history since slavery?
(14:00):
A policy they know will actually kill mass numbers of
blacks before birth, far more than whites or any other race. Yeah,
it sounds pretty racist in effect to me. And again,
nobody should be killed. None of the innocent should be killed.
Three or three someone three eight, two, five, five the numbers.
So we're starting it off light today, my friend, I'm
sure you can feel that back there. Yeah, what is
(14:25):
our friend alexis saying?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Inflammatory language? Complete bs that from Alexis. I'm sure she's
not referring to my last riff there. What is our
friend Alexa referring to? Do you have a sense of
that Ryan? Ryan's normally the inflammatory language.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah, well you just heard and the woman accusing Senator
John Kennedy saying, do.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You support abortions in the moment of Earth? That's inflammatory language.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I had missed that part, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
But it is fun to see them squirm, especially these
people who pretend to be such intellectuals, et cetera, when
when they know, okay, this is a kill shot, they
can't answer it.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
They can't answer it.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Because and that's a sad thing to me, because you
have so many people and I used to be a Democrat,
you have so many people in power on the Democrats.
I'm not talking about your typical democrat in power who
have just knowingly decided to do something they know is
monstrous and wrong on every level in order to get
(15:27):
and keep power. And it's yeah, hey, we all got
our own stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But I do not know how they live with that one.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Dan, I agree with you about Tina Peters. She'll serve
the entirety of her sentence. So too many people, like
Jimmy Sendenberger, thinks she should have been given death sends.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I don't think Jimmy believes that, so.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
A partner, even prol is out of the question. She'll
die in prison. Well, I sure hope you're wrong, and
I do believe you're wrong, and I laid it out
in detail to start the show.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
If she just joined us, thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Why I do believe that Polus is going to commute
the sentence of Tina Peters. There are additional reasons to
that long list I gave earlier, you know, one of which.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Is there is a very real chance that when the
Colorado appellate process is done, that she would win at
the federal level.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm not predicting that because nobody can sit here and
look in the eye and tell you this is how
a federal judge is going to rule or not. But
based upon the ruling, the language used by the court,
and the order dismissing application for rid of habeas corpus,
which I have in front of me right now.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'd say, in my nicotine stained hands to honor.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Rush, but I've never smoked a cigarette without the judge rights.
Essentially what the judge says this listen, I got to
dismiss this thing. I can't step in now because the
Colorado Court of Appeals is looking at this and the
state gets first crack. But then he goes on to say,
very respective, judge, without question, Ms Peters raises important constitutional
(16:55):
questions concerning whether the trial court improperly punished her more
severely because of her protected First Amendment speech. You get
a respected federal magistrate judge saying that you're Jared Polus.
You're sitting there thinking, you know what, it's probably a
pretty good chance she's going to win at the appellate
level somewhere along the way here and be out anyway.
(17:17):
The other thing for poulis, on top of the other
reasons I mentioned earlier, why he would view it as
in his best political interest as he tries to carve
out this image of some kind of moderate is that
Trump is going to pound them. Trump is going to
pound Colorado because Poulis refuses to move Tena Peters to
(17:39):
a federal facility where she could then be released. And
he's already started, you know, with this invest civil rights
investigation of the Colorado State prison system and President Trump
peace their strength that you can bet that's not the
end of it. And Jared Poulis knows that. But bottom
line is it would just be the right thing to do. Yes,
I believe she was properly charged, guilty as charge, properly convicted,
(18:04):
But I think most people agree this sentence is way
too heavy for a first time offender, no criminal history,
gold star mom.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And while she shouldn't have done what she did, she didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Cause any lasting harm as compared to that the trucker
who knows knowingly consciously killed all those people out on
the highway, jury convicted him, took a cup of coffee
to convict him on multiple, multiple homicide charges. The court
then sentenced him to one hundred years, and Polis steps
(18:37):
in and knocks it down. So the guy will be
out within five. No, a whole lot of reasons. I
think Polis is going to commute this sentence three out
three ey seven three eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
What do you think You're on the Dan Capitalist Show.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So to Kentucky's state representative, shockingly a Democrat.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
I'm going to be honest. I don't feel good about
being white every day for a lot of reasons, because
it's a point of privilege that I get to move
through the world in a way that so many of
my other colleagues and friends and family members of the
community don't get the privilege to do. And I'm just
a female, but just a woman, just a white woman.
(19:24):
If I was a white man, I would be functioning
from a point of even greater privilege.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
How does human get to that point? I feel very
badly for that. She must not have ever heard of
doctor King I have.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Are my poor little children one day live in a
nation where they will not be judged by the color
of mak skin, but by the content of that character
I have?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And that is.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Get to this point the modern Democratic Party, that is
their worst nightmare, that the prophetic words of doctor King
come true, that we achieved that dream of being color blunt.
It's not the color of your skin, it's the contact
of your conda, of your character. It's merit, as the
doctor King died for. That that's what we should all
(20:22):
be striving for. But not the modern Democratic Party. No,
they've got to have us divided. They've got to have
you just identifying yourself by the color of your skin.
And if the color of your skin is black, that
means you vote Democrat because they can't give you a
good reason too, So it's going to be no, you
got to vote that way. That's the collor of your skin.
It's it's so sick three or three someone three eight
(20:42):
two five five? Ryan, What do you think prompted this
person who obviously has a functioning brain, right, she's a
she's so it's not like somebody who just got hit
by a semi let's hold yeah, and they've got just
a massive brain injury.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Ouch. How do you get to the point where you
say something like.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
This, I'm going to be honest, I don't feel good
about being white every day?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
What days does she feel good about being white? Never?
I think, all come on, she just said some days.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think she said every day again I will, I will, no, no, no, no,
I I think there's some days she does. Now, I
think it's very important that we find out which days
those are.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
For a lot of reasons, a.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Point of presence, I know do that, but I am
curious about this to the beginning.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
I'm going to be honest. I don't feel good about
being white every day.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I don't feel good about being white every day. Implying
there are some days she does, and what days do
you think those are?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I'd love to hear from people on that.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Three or three, five, three or three sevene three eight
two five five text d A N five seven, seven,
three or nine?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Which days do you think those.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Are talking about this? Earlier? Dan?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
How many days in a year do you wake up
thinking about being white at all?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Good?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Better, and different? Ryan?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Can you bring in that stack of bibles or does
somebody take them?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
As we keep a polygraph and the stack of bibles
back there so Ryan can wheel them ount.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
When I say this, I can tell you right now
there has.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Not been one minute of my relatively short life when
I've thought about being white.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
And is that part of your white privilege? Because you
don't have to think about him. I'm just kind of
giving you a devil's advocate with the left would say.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I think it's just part of having good parents and
thinking right, which is race is irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
If I can add to that, Dan, because I get
real worked up over this, Like you, I had wonderful
parents who were not at all racist. I grew up
in the eighties watching Eddie Murphy on SNLEN with his movies,
watching Michael Jackson.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
He was one of my favorite musicians.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Talk about the other stuff in another day, watching The
Cosby Show again, other stuff for another day. But my
point being, Prince was one of my favorite musicians of
the eighties. I never thought about the fact, well they're black,
I'm white, therefore they're different, and maybe I shouldn't watch
them or I can't like their music. Their art never
crossed my mind. I thought they were awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I mean, this whole thing is is just so foreign, right.
I mean, I grew up in what Doctor King called
he may have called the most racist place in.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
America, Chicago's House Oude of Chicago.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, because I remember sitting on the street corner and
my parents were true civil rights pioneers in many different ways.
But I remember sitting on this street curb on sixty
seventh Street waiting for Doctor King to come down our street.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
He was we they called off day camp that day.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I went to day camp at Market Park, and they
called off day camp because Doctor King was going to
walk march to Market Park. He never made it because
racist stoned him. And so I got to grow up
in an area where I had these tremendous civil rights parents,
and then I got to see the worst of the
(24:18):
haters and the losers who are racist. Because racist, I
mean by definition, a racist is a loser and a
racist is an idiot by definition. So I got to
see the best in my parents and some others, including
the priests at my seminary, who are tremendous civil rights advocates.
(24:38):
And then I got to see the worst in these
American Nazis. And they would on the South side of Chicago,
you had full Schwashtika billboards. You would have a schwashedik
on a billboard for the white Nazi. And I remember
when I came out to see you on the even scholarship,
the first ballot I ever received, when I turned eighteen.
(24:58):
That must have been the one where I voted for
Jim Carter first ballot. I received a Democrat, Republican and
White Power Party or something to that effect. So I
got to see those losers, you know, first hand, up close.
And doctor King. Yeah, he marched into the heart of
that courageous man that he was. And I remember sitting
(25:19):
at home and the evening news watching these riots where
I was supposed to be at day camp that day.
Needless to say, he never made it to where I
was sitting in the curb waiting for him to get to.
My parents didn't have the heart to tell me he
was never going to make it there because he was
never scheduled to march that far down sixty seventh. But
I wanted to wait and see doctor King, and they
were going to let me. But yeah, So that's the
(25:41):
way I was raised and grew up, which is, you know,
it's irrelevant except for the fact that you have a
whole bunch of people who you know are being given
a hard time because of the race, and got to
change that. In America's made tremendous drides there, which the
modern Democratic Party just hates, right because it is still
trying to divide people by race. So if we can
(26:05):
get her on this, Kentucky State Rep. Sarah Stalker would
love to find out which day she does feel good
about being white. How pathetic it would be, how pathetic
it would be to ever sit there and feel bad
that you were a member of a particular race.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I was just gonna say that, Dan, I no more
feel worse bad about being white than I would expect
a black person feel for being black, or a Hispanic
person for being Hispanic, or an Asian person for being Asian,
or a Native American person for being Native American.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
You are who you are. We're all shades of the
same color.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
In my opinion, right, and obviously that the race should
be irrelevant. But you look at from me for example,
I mean, I don't think there is any person on
the face of the earth who logically or properly could
sit there and say, oh, I'm so proud I'm white now,
because it would be like why I could sit there
(27:04):
and say I'm really proud I'm Irish and I am
one hundred percent both sides right off the boat.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Not my parents but my grandparents.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Because there's just this great history and tradition and overcoming
so much oppression and everything else. So I sit here
and say I'm really proud of being Irish. Doesn't mean
I'm better than anybody else because I'm Irish, but I
do get to wear that south Side Irish jacket.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Heck, yeah you do.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Now, I could see somebody sitting there and being proud
that they're black because look at what black people in
America had overcome, and it's a whole lot better now.
And it's a whole lot better now in part because
a whole lot of white people were willing to die
to free the slaves, and a whole lot of white people,
including a lot of Christians and a lot of Catholic Christians,
(27:53):
led the civil Rights charge along with black people. But yeah,
I could see somebody saying, you know, I'm really proud
out of being black. I'm proud of what my race
is overcoming.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
This guy. I could see that.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I could see people saying, you know, Latino, I'm really
proud of for culture and this, this that that, Just like,
I'm so proud of being Irish. I can't see anybody
just saying, oh, I'm proud because I'm white. Is there
a flaw in that logic, my friend.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I don't take pride in things I can't control, Dan,
like I would say, you should take great pride in
the fact that you run a great law firm. You
guys work hard, you hire the right people, you achieve
things for people that need that help. That's something to
be proud of. To be proud of being white, or
that you have blue eyes, or that you know immutable characteristics,
they're just assigned to you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
No, And I think it's more though, It's more the
being proud of. In my case, I'm really proud of
what the Irish in America have accomplished. Yeah, doesn't believe
it's superior to anybody else, but just I'm proud of
that and proud of my heritage there, you know. Just
(29:05):
and I think this is the very same canon should
be said by black people, by latinos, et cetera, go
right on down the list. But these people who think
they're superior because of their race, what we know just
by definition is they're losers. I mean, how much of
a loser. How much of a moron would you have
(29:26):
to be to say, Oh, I'm superior because of the
color God made me. Yeah, I mean that's just ridiculous.
I'm just talking logically and analytically. That's like the ultimate
moron to begin with. So all I'm saying is this
white Democrat state rep. Who talks about how she's so
(29:47):
embarrassed to be white. You know, she needs to read
and listen to the teachings of doctor King, content of character,
not color of skin.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Did you ever see Michael Flatlee, Irish answered no, I'd
love to though, I love to see that really cool
three out three seven three two five five the number
text e A N five seven seven three nine. The
coolest thing about my one trip to Ireland hundred percent Irish,
both sides, was I went with my uncle, Catholic priest,
and so he wore his collar and this is back
(30:24):
in the day, and so he was he looked like
Teddy Kennedy, you know, and and you know a much
better version of Teddy Kennedy. But when Teddy Kennedy was young,
really handsome guy. But you go to Ireland with your
uncle the priest wearing a collar, you can get on
any golf course anytime you want.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
To remember being on.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
The first t at Tipperary Country Club and Roger's up
there and good golfer, good player, and he hooks one
into the woods and he starts cursing up a storm,
and you know, there were people covering their ears and
running away. And I was used to it because it's
Rog and he's a great Catholic and he's a great
(31:05):
He's been a tremendous priest for a lot of years.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
He still does probably three or four masses a week
in ninety three.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
But but yeah, no, that was That's probably not what
folks were used to in Tipperary, Ireland. But Roger's very intense.
Another great Rog story, you know, works Chicago. He's been
working parishes all over the city for a long time,
and he's in the parish. But he was crossing a
street in downtown Chicago because he was at Holy Named
(31:31):
Cathedral at the time.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
And it was by.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
My timing right, I think it was during that whole
scandal where you had some pretty small minority, but one
would be way too many doing demonic stuff, horrible things
to kids. And he's crossing the street and so some
guy yelled fu or whatever, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Et cetera. Adam as he's crossing the street in his
collar and Roger said, he just didn't actively flipped him off.
And he said the look on the guy's face as
he turns dropping and sees his.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Priests flipping him off, that, uh, well, I wish I
could have been there for that one.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
But it takes something out that they should have had.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
And Caddy, Yeah, yeah, but I gotta think, I mean,
I gotta think my uncle's one of the great priests
of all time. I mean, he has walked that talk
and he's still out there doing three or four masses
a week, and they jam pack his masses.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Ryan, he he draws him in.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
And I talked to him on the phone.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I'm very privileged to say that I did not well.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
One of the reasons why, thank you. One of the
reasons why he gets these big crowds. First, he's a
cool guy, and he you know, has really good homilies
and all that. But his homilies clockwork, eight minutes, they're done,
and he gets it.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
He's always understood it.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
You know, it's a Saturday night or it's a Sunday morning,
and people have a million things going on in their lives.
You got one chance, you got one message. If you
can't deliver at eight minutes, he can't deliver at eighteen.
And so people know he's going to deliver a good message.
He's gonna have a joke, gonna have a little story,
gonna have a really important point theologically, and he's out,
(33:12):
so people pay attention. It's a beautiful thing. This I
just played because it ticks me off. And you know,
this reporter would never ask a similar question to anybody
other than a conservative. But listen as this CBS News
reporter questions Erica Kirk.
Speaker 10 (33:29):
Erica, one of the most alarming things about Charlie's murder
was the way that some people in this country reacted
to it.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, and not just online.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
This was kind of This was an idea that you
encountered a lot, and the idea was this.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
They kind of justified it.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
They basically said that because Charlie said or believed things
that they believed were controversial or even hateful, that he
somehow had it coming. What do you say to people
who just his death how horrific?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You know that reporter would never ever say that to
anybody on the left, under God forbid.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
A similar circumstance.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
She just wanted to get out there that whole concept.
He had it coming. Yeah, but I think that's the
way it is in this country. People know it. I
think I think it's one of the reasons Trump has won.
But just that question is so offensive, obviously, Erica kirkqwinn.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I'm to say, tell those people that's horrific.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Two important points here, Dan.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
That was barr Weiss, who recently took over the news
division at CBS News, and I would say she's sent
her left, but she's certainly not far left. And it
seemed to me, at least over the course of this interview.
Erica Kirk specifically granted Barry this interview.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Because she had a good relationship with her.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
I'm not sure if she didn't expect that question the
way it was asked, but I just want to provide
that kind.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Of Well, first of all, if people disagree, I'd love
to hear from him on this. You know where to
find me da N five seven seven three nine or
three h three someone three eight two five five. But
first of all, well, the question is and I don't
like to say highly offensive, because who cares. There's all
sorts offensive stuff people need to hear. It is just
so personally insulting, and it's also a very dangerous question
(35:15):
in this context. When you legitimize, I mean by even
introducing it, by even asking about it, you are giving
this concept of justifiable assassination. You're giving it legitimacy by
even introducing it in that setting. These aren't a couple
of people at the end of a bar, and that
(35:39):
is extraordinarily dangerous. Hey, there are whole lot of people
out there saying, not just on social media, he had
a coming just giving that whole concept of justifiable murder,
that kind of platform and credibility. But that's what they do,
and that's what we have to defeat. Three or three
(36:00):
someone three eight two five five Jared Polis this is
coming from the left asking is he really a sleeze
bag here on the Dan Kaplas Show

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
