Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Does not matter
what our plan for this show is, because it's very clear.
You know, when you get text coming in overnight, you know,
(00:22):
it's very clear what most people want to talk about.
And I don't think there really is kind of the
water cooler thing anymore. I think that that went out
with the Internet, etc. But if there was a modern
water cooler where people get around to talk about what's
important to them, most people would be talking about the
very unusual and unique Colorado governors race. So we will continue,
(00:44):
of course to take calls and text on that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's red hot for good reason.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I mean, life short, and it isn't that often in life,
especially in politics, you see things you've never seen before,
and then they're kind of fun and interesting to talk about,
like how do we get here, where we go and
all that good stuff. So we'll continue to have that conversation,
particularly about the governor's race. But in Colorado, it extends
beyond that, because we're also in this unusual moment I
(01:09):
honestly thought i'd never see. And I'm a young buck
where the Democratic Party is now becoming openly the Socialist
Democratic Party of Colorado. So we're in that unique moment.
So how does all that intersect and flow? So we'll
be talking about that so much more. I want to
get to today with you, and as always say pop
up whenever you'd like and and we'll jump into whatever
(01:30):
you want. I mean, my real job, and it has
been for forty two years now, is is as a
draw lawyer, and so I'm very used to being interrupted
when people more important than me, you know, i e.
The judge or jurors have questions they want answered. So
I'm very very happy to interrupt the planned events of
the day to talk about whatever you'd like. Three at
(01:51):
three seven one, three eight two five five d A
N five seven seven through nine. For me, one of
the most interesting issues that impacts you the most and
is red hot right now is the US on the
verge of changing now to full time daylight savings time.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
And do you like that?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And as you know, that means that generally a year round,
it will stay lighter later, Bob. The trade off it
will stay darker later. And that that's the thing that
I think is going to be so interesting to hear
from you on I mean, my goodness, I mean, you know,
the mornings staying dark till like eight eight, fifteen, eight
(02:31):
thirty in the depths of winter.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
How do you feel about that? Three all three seven
one three eight two.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Five five the number And as always you can text
d A N five seven seven three nine. Young Zach
kind enough to return for today's show? What was would
your guests be? Let's say this, this change becomes permanent,
we expect it will be. And it's Christmas Day, It's
Christmas Day. What time do you think the sun is
(02:59):
going to rise and set under this new permanent daylight
savings time?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Oh wow, that's a good question. Like, yeah, I guess I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Sure you're giving a new song.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah right, No, it is so Christmas Day, our next
Christmas Day.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
If this permanent DST goes through, and it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Will, the sun is going to rise on Christmas Day
at eight twenty am.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
That's funky, that's kind of mind blowing. Now, the trade
off is instead of the sun setting at four forty one.
It's going to set at five forty one. How do
you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'd like it.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I guess the thing that I immediately think of is
are we maybe causing more accidents because you have more
people driving on those early morning dark roads when maybe
the plows haven't been out and there's more ice. That's
that's I guess the one big drawbout you need.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
A radio show that is that is so smart sack
because of the work I do right, which is this
catastrophic injury and death case work. That's that's been my
whole folks all along. I'm really afraid of that.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The alternative is you'll have more rush hours that will
be in daylight. So how does that trade off breakdown?
And I've been doing a little research on that, trying
to say, okay, which is the safest approach there?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Now? What really concerns me about it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Being dark in the morning and what I think it
tips the safety away from this change is the kiddos. Right,
because your kiddos are getting out of school by three
o'clock anyway most places, but they're all going to school early,
and it really concerns me that they'll be going to
school in the dark. You make the great point about, Okay,
(04:37):
you're more likely to still have ice on the roads, etc.
Having handled the case where the most precious little six
year old boy you can ever imagine, you know, a tremendous,
tremendous young single mom's only child was crushed to death
outside of school when a car.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Couldn't stop on ice. And so those kind of scenarios just.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Terrifying, terrifying. And yeah, so so what do you think,
what do you think about this change?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Listen when you get into certain because like for me
at Christmas, it doesn't improve life at all if it's
lighter later on that day, who cares. I mean here
in Colorado, we're not out playing golf or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
You want it lighter earlier in the morning so the
kids aren't waking you up when it's.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So dark out. No, that's a great point too.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But uh but yes, so so to me, wait, if
you're talking about Christmas time, the trade off isn't worth it.
Now you get into other times of the year when
there might be more stuff being done outside.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Say you're in the fall.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now, say you're in October, and you got all the
high school after school stuff. You had to be real
nice to have it lighter later. So yeah, full of
trade offs, but i'd love your take on this.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Sorry, maybe you're losing some Friday night lights.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Let me thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I'm going to look that up during the break that
that's that's a good question, Zach, because because you don't
want to do that. There's just something very very special
about Friday night lights. And I wouldn't want any kid
who plays football, any cheerleader, any kid who goes to
those games, I wouldn't want them deprived of Friday night
lights over this. So anyway, we'll get your take on
all that. One of the many things we're going to
be talking about on.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The show today President Trump.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
There's a new gold coin that's going to be issued
in America and he has the image of President Trump
and in God we trust on it, and so I
want to get your take on that. I'll give you
my spoiler alert, not that you care, but that is well. See,
I think Guy's been historically great. You know how I
feel about him, and I think I think he's going
(06:42):
to go down as one of our best presidents ever.
And I've been critical of him when he's deserved it,
and there's been plenty of that. But to me, just
kind of my overview on life worldview is we're all
going to make mistakes, right, We're all going to make mistakes,
we all going to do some stupid things. We're all
going to let our ego carry us away sometimes this,
(07:05):
this that that. To me, I give far more points
for greatness that then I do for mistakes, far more
points for upside than for downside. Like if we were
scoring a golf tournament, and in golf, I would give
many more points for a birdie than I would, you know,
(07:27):
detract for a bogie, just because it's the great that
tends to shape the world and and and be of
more benefit to everybody. Now, hey, of course, you can
have some mistakes or screw ups or bad acts that
are so awful they can tip that balance. But overall, generally,
and I think you'd agree about this. In your life
(07:47):
and the life of your family members and of the community,
that is those great accomplishments that have so much more
impact than the mess ups And Trump has done so
much on the upside because he's bold by nature, he's
fearless by nature, He's got the right ideology. Now, on everything,
but a lot of things. Anyway, with all those positive
(08:07):
things said about Trump, I still don't think he should
be honoring himself. I don't think he should be naming
the Kennedy Center after himself. I don't think he should
be naming coins after himself.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Let other people do that when you're gone.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And I understand his concern that there's so much a
hatred for him out there among those on the left,
in large part because of the great things he does
that these may never happen, the coin, the this, the that,
but still you got to take that chance. You got
to take that chance. And so I just don't think
(08:42):
he should be naming stuff after himself. I don't think
anything should be named after politicians while they're still in office.
And I think we name way too much stuff after
politicians to begin with.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
We've talked about this on the show.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
We're talking about a major roadway like Paya Boulevard. It
should be named after somebody who gave their life for
this state and country. Should be named after one of
the you know, hero teachers or students who died to
save their classes, like Dave Sanders or Kendrick Castile or
some heroic member of our military who symbolizes and epitomizes
(09:18):
other heroes. This stuff should not be named after politicians,
you know they Yeah, anyway, I've devoted many shows to
that before, speaking of which, we're going to have.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
A wonderful guest with us at five oh six.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Talk about a great thing a charter schools doing that
some are opposing, and that is bringing in this tremendous
new drone technology to combat active.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Shooters in school shooting.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So you're probably asking yourself, who in the right mind
would oppose that. The answer is nobody, But there's still
people opposing it. So we'll have a guest on that
at five oh six as well.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Show now back to the Day Kapitlis Show podcast to
do that.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
But he does have the power to try to intimidate people.
He's demonstrated his will to abuse power. I expect him
to use whatever he puts out there on Thursday as
a pretext either for some attempted unconstitutional use of federal
power to interfere in the election, or to give his
proxies and loyalists in state and local jurisdictions some cover
(10:27):
for whatever they might attempt.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Cop that is John awesome, and he's previewing what he
expects the President to say to the nation tomorrow night
and national address, and a big part of it, we're told,
will deal with this issue of election integrity.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Can't wait to see what the president has, you know,
what the evidence is, what's new. Cannot wait to see
all that and then the conversation to follow. Three O
three seven one three eight two five five d an
five seven seven three nine. Where I think America is
at an issue and I respect and understand the intensity
(11:03):
of many in America and many in our audience, But
I think where America as a whole is that on
that issue is I think people believe there is fraud.
I think people believe correctly that any amount of fraud
is too much. I think that a majority probably believes
that there's not routinely enough fraud to alter the outcome,
(11:27):
but that it's certainly happened somewhere sometime in terms of
twenty twenty, I think there's still a ton of lingering
doubt and suspicion among many, many people in America over
whether that election was stolen, Whether my camp, the folks
who say, hey, there are a lot of fair questions,
but I haven't seen proof it was stolen. Whether my
(11:48):
camp is in the majority as I think it is
or the minority, I think it's a relatively close call
one way or the other. So I think this is
a bad thing for America. I think there has to
be a lot more confident in center elections. I think
it hurts Republicans a million times more than Democrats. I
don't think there has been one Democrat in the history
(12:08):
of the world who has said, you know, I'm not
even going to bother to vote because it's rigged anyway. No,
because if there's a Democrat who thinks it's rigged, they
probably think it's rigged in the Democrats favor whether it
is or not.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I think there are a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Of Republicans who do not vote because they believe it's
rigged anyway. I think that probably costs the GOP candidates
those Senate elections in Georgia that we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Back in the beginning, back in the day.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So yeah, I think it's a very very harmful dynamic
to Republicans. I think the Democrats are very happy, very
happy to keep fostering this idea of stolen elections because
I think they believe it suppresses Republican vote. Now they
think the power it be would be very very unhappy
(13:02):
if if there were on the Democrat side, if there
was stricter control over mal and balloting and things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
But end of the day, yeah, end of the day,
I think there is little proof.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I haven't seen any proof that any particular race has
been altered by the fraud, but that doesn't mean that
it hasn't that one hasn't somewhere sometime, and it doesn't
mean that we we shouldn't do everything we can to to.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Have zero frauds.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
So it'll be I think America is open to what
the President has to say tomorrow night, and I think
it's going to be really incumbent on the President to
produce some evidence rather than allegations. There has to be evidence,
I think for America to take it seriously, and we'll
see what he has. Three out three seven, one, three, eight, two, five, five, an, five, seven,
(13:55):
seventh thor nine. Zach, I don't think he would be
doing this tomorrow night on national TV, not with a
lot of build up unless he had some evidence. The
American people haven't seen yet, so I think that is
for certain. Then the next question is will that evidence
be strong or weak? Will it be persuasive or not?
You know, we'll find out together.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, I think there has to be evidence, because these
aren't allegations. Excuse me, these aren't allegations he hasn't levied
in the past.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You know, he said such and such.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Election was rigged before, or this one will be rigged,
or YadA YadA.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Why not make these claims.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
In the past, or you know, why make such a
spectacle out of it if there wasn't something different this
time at all the other times he's alleged it.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, no, right, you're right about that. And then it
ties into, of course, the push for the Save Act.
And you know that there are many things in America
that we almost all agree on, but the fact a
vote a voters should have to show ID Yeah, I
think the vast.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Majority of Americans agree on that.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And I think the fact the Democratic Party is opposing
that just tells you everything you.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Need to know.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Right, But it's not proof that the presidential was stolen.
I have not seen that proof. It's not proof any
particular election was stolen. But if a party as a
whole is howling like smash cats because they don't want
voters toff to show an id.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, and that reminds me of something my late father,
Saint Dad.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You didn't tell many police stories because he really liked
to leave that at work and just at home, just
you know, not bring anything negative home. But one story
he did tell. He was a young cop, and my
dad is the greatest guy in the world, utmost integrity,
young cop.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
And he gets this important extra work on election day.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Is going to get the extra hours for working at
a polling place. Big deal, because that extra money mattered
a ton to our family. And so he goes in
before the poll's open. And I can't remember. Maybe my sister,
who often listens, maybe she remembers which polling station in
Chicago Southside.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
He goes in before it opens, and he does his job.
He's walking around, he looks at the I don't know
what it was. I can't remember if it was machines.
I think it was machines at that point, and there
are already a whole bunch of votes cast for the Democrat.
And so my dad goes to his superior, whoever that was,
to report it and they threw him out of the
(16:26):
polling station. So wow, he had to sit outside all day.
And yeah, So anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
What's going on today?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I guess President Trump is going to present some new
evidence tomorrow night. And if it is real, tangible, persuasive evidence,
I think the American people are open to that.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Some Texters dan, yes.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Daylight savings time permanently, later sunset benefits most everyone sends.
Most are awake then, whereas a smaller part of the
population is outside of their homes at eight to nine am.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I gotta tell you, I had this big case. I
think it was my.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
First really big case, and it was this horrific, horrific
bus crash up in Alaska that caused this quadriplegic to
this amazing, amazing young woman. And so I was up
there looking for witnesses. And at that time of the winter,
it wasn't it was getting dark. It could it have
(17:24):
been like two in the afternoon and it wouldn't get
light till late in the morning. There'd be a few
hours a day of daylight. As I remember it, and honestly,
I remember thinking that was kind of cool. Now I
know we have the safety consideration but I actually felt
a little bit more productive doing my work up there
in the dark, like during normal business hours.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
So that's going to be an interesting thing to see, Zach.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
With permanent daylight savings time, assuming it goes through, is
what the impact is going to be on productivity at work?
I'm I thought I was more productive working in the dark.
Maybe maybe that's just me. All righty lines in fuego,
here's my promise to you. We will come back. We
will go straight to those phone lines. And I have
(18:09):
this special guest, really neat stuff. I love when technology
helps us leap forward. And she's gonna be talking about
this charter school now that plans to use these specialized
drones to protect kids against active shooters, and the school's
facing opposition from who You're on the Game.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Kapitala show.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
And now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
From this messy pretty made of funs ha ha, my
messy ha gonna tell you off.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I think he was that happy when his kid was born.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Holy cal. I loved hearing that. Though I was pulling
for Argentina. No offense to our friends from Great Britain.
I just think it matters more to Argentina right now
than it would than it wouldn't matter to England, and
so that was that was amazing. They were down, they
were down one, one to nothing. I'm not never gonna
sing nil. I'm sorry, it's nothing. They were down one
(19:39):
to nothing, very very late in that game. Of course,
you never know when the game's gonna end, because they
it doesn't end like.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
A real game when the time expires.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
They've got extra time, and who knows who even decides how.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Much extra time. It doesn't show on.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The scoreboard, which has to make you very suspicious, right
it's pretty much whenever the ref decides the extra time
is done. But they were down one to nothing with
very little time left, and then Argentina just put on
the jets and one two to one.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
It was a remarkable finish. Both goals by Argentina were epic.
It was a great game back and forth. And man,
now we've got that Argentina spaying for who wins it all?
That's gonna be a great one.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I never thought I'd cared all about soccer, and I've
loved this whole World Cup, probably because it's been here.
Never thought I'd cared all about cats. I know, nothing
about cats, and then we had this litter of kittens
born under our porch.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Adorable by the way, you sent me the video. Yell,
those things are Mari.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
You want one because we're adopting them out.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Oh, I got one, and I don't think he wants
a room.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Oh I think he does. But they Yeah, so they're
born under the porch.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And then you know, so I ordered I get some
cat food from King Soupers, and then we start feeding them.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And now I sense that this video.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I can't think of anything that I could discuss on air,
anything I would rather watch.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Then these cats, these kittens play. I could watch them
for hours.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, but we know now we've been doing the research,
it's time to get them adopted because apparently people won't
adopt cats. They'll adopt kittens, but they won't adopt cats.
And AI is telling us that these kittens are probably
six seven weeks, so they're not weaned yet. And I
don't want to take them away from their mom, who
is a great mom. She's there all the time.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah, that's a tough window, is tough needle to thread.
But yeah, I'm sure you'll find them a.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Good They're incredible and I will post video at sometime
because truly I would rather watch that right.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Now than anything, any game, anything.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I just watch these cats, these kittens play back to
the phone lines. Let's go to Carolyn Lakewood. You're on
the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Welcome.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Well, Hi Dan, thanks for taking my car I'm against
the daylight savings time permanently. I didn't vote for Trump
to have him get rid of the Standard time used
to Standard time. We barely have Standard time for four
months right now. It was six months. Now they want
to get and I think Tom Conton is going to
(22:10):
vote against it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Well, you're taking this personally, Carol, So I'm grateful you called.
Why do you like standard times so much?
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Because I don't like I don't like changing the clocks
all the time. If they're going to get rid of it,
keep it on Standard time. That's what it was always on.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Wow. Wouldn't that mean you liked him?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
And also changing the clocks. When I changed the clocks,
I changed them a week before.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I like that, turning him back, I'd like change him
eight months later.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
I don't lose an hour when I do them weeks before.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yeah, So I just don't like it. I used to
work for fifty years and thirty six different jobs, and
I always got up on time. I sleep sort of
likes Trump. I have insomnia all the time. Why only
four hours a night?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
If I'm lucky, What do you do with the rest
of your hours at night?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
I can listen to the radio. I listened to the
Red Eye from eleven o'clock at night up till five
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Wow, yeah, because they actually they have a pretty good show.
They're on five straight hours of It's the same my
fixed show. It's the same channel you're on.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
If you ever listen to I have not because I
go to bed early and get up and work like
really really early.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
But let me ask you, do you ever get a
full night's sleep?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
No? I don't get eight hours at all?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Say.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
My problem is when I went through menopause. I'm seventy
six now. Ever since I've went through menopause at forty three,
I've been I have insomnia and half life. Wow wow
keeps me up most of the night anyway, it's really wow.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well, I will try to find I will try to
find my speech to the South Metro Republican Breakfast and
send it to you because you will get your first
good night's sleep in a long time. But Carol, thank
you for the call. You're a great sport. I hope
you call us back. I've never met a person so
devoted to Standard time.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Hey, I love it.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, I wonder how many others there are out there.
But you know, say, if we stuck with Standard time
year round, I think it'd be a disaster because summer,
like one of the sweetest things in life are these
beautiful long summer nights. All of a sudden, the sun's
setting at seven thirty in the summer. No, thank you,
Carly and Hyland's ranch. You're on the dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Welcome.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
I hate daylight saving this time. Why I love Central
Standard Time. I think they should keep it that way.
Why well, first of all, I love when it gets
dark like a four point thirty because you put wood
in a fire, nice fire getting colder, you stay inside,
much more productive with war, I could. I can't stand summer,
(25:02):
so I could kill less about Oh, I can't stand it.
I can't wait until this heat waves over. It's right, Oh, a.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Little spoiled Charlie. It's not even humid here. But but listening,
I know I'm with you at Christmas.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
I'm from the Midwest, so I know. Actually I'm from Illinois.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
We need some lightning bugs.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
No, I wanted to stay standard, but whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
Please take good care of those little kittens and the.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh man, do you want one? Please?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Please?
Speaker 9 (25:32):
I wish I could, but I have a dog that
will not tolerate cats.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah, yeah, the old. Anything that starts with I wish
I could.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Appreciate the call, thank you, thank you? Those never end well.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Has there ever been any answer that started with I
wish I could that ended well?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
No? No, every guy knows that.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Three or three someone three eight two five d an
five seven seven three nine. I am going to post
this video of the kittens because again, I'm not a
cat guy. Our daughter is allergic to cats, and so
we've never had them. But but I didn't have one
growing up. We had an outdoor cat that wandered in
every now and then. But Felix, God rest his soul,
(26:19):
might still be alive because they live a long time.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Right you have one, Zach, They live a long time.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
It depends on the cats.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Some can live to you know, I think twenty And
I just saw an article that I think in Japan
they're they're developing some miracle drug that can get them
to live to forty or fifty or something crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Why I don't think you should do that.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
That seems like it would be horrible.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
We forgot an eighteen year old dog who shows no
signs of slowing down. Decided ten years ago it didn't
like go into the bathroom outside anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Amy gets it acupuncture.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
So the thing is as fast as secretariat can't even
catch it eighteen years old.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
And that's the thing that's like the you know, pets
are perfect except for their their life cycles don't perfectly
line up with ours. If we could change that, that'd
be great, But I wouldn't want to. I don't want
my cat, you know, getting old and starting to you know,
have his quality of life to decrease the twenty and
then keep him around till he's fifty.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
No, no, no, no, none of that. And you can't.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I mean, as much as you love and care for
the animal, you can't have it take over your life.
Oh no, of course, I mean yeah, yeah, but we're
in that phase right now where we've got two old
incontinent dogs.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, that's always hard.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And we love them both, and so tried the diapers.
I said, I do not even buy those diapers.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It does not work, and it isn't worth it. It is
I would rather get a new carpet every week. Do
not buy that diapers. But they're wonderful, wonderful creatures.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I'd see. Yeah, so you do what you gotta do.
But these kittens, truly, I could sit there and watch
them all day. And I don't know how long that
kittens stage will last, but they have such amazing personalities.
And every night they go sleep under a porch. I
mean they're Yeah, it's really impressive. Three at three sevene
three eight two five, five five seven, seventy nine years
(28:21):
a deal lines are in Fuego. Most people wanting to
talk about this daylight savings times. I get it because
talk about things that practically impact you, and this change
it looks like maybe about to happen. So I take
text everything on that some others want to talk about. Okay,
President Trump says he has big new evidence of vote fraud.
What do you think it is? Where do you think
all that's headed? Special guests at five oh five from
(28:44):
a charter school, brilliant new drone technology to fight back
against school shooters. They're actually getting opposition to it. Who
in the right mind would oppose an answer nobody.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
You're on the Dan Kaplo Show.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast where.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
They said that Argentina was down one nil. Don't say nil.
Don't say nil unless you're a true soccer fan. It's
so pretentious. Just say nothing right now. If you're a
true soccer fan, you live that stuff, you can say nil.
I just hate people being pretentious. Three or three seven
one three eight two five five d A five seven
seven three or nine. We fly to our jam phone nines.
(29:28):
We go to beautiful Castle Pines, Colorado. Frederick, you're on
the show.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Can you hear me now? Ah?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, trademark that you'll make some money.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
Yeah, well, I think somebody already did that. Rise. Well, look, man,
we're in a time where we have technology available to
us that can take us right back to biblical times
back then. If you'll recall, they started the day with
sunrise and it was typically six am like it is here,
(29:59):
and the third hour was nine. We know about the
crucifixion of Christ. We can do that, We could put
we could set each time zone in the middle of
the time zone and sacredized to sunrise. You never have
another spring forward fallback. You'd have maximization of daylight every
(30:19):
single day based on.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Can you elaborate on that little bit? Take let's say
take Colorado on Christmas Day?
Speaker 8 (30:27):
What does that look like Colorado on Christmas Day when
the sun comes up in the middle of the time zone,
and it wouldn't be Colorado, would be Mountain Pins. You
still have the same time zones, but you take the
middle of the time zone about forty fifth parallel or so,
and when the sun rises there would be six am
(30:47):
for each consecutive time zone. We're already working with clocks.
They're standardized to the to the U Naval Observatory clock
in Fort Collins. You've had a comic clocks on the
wall of your studio for decades, and there's no reason.
All of our computers, even our phones, are synchronized to
(31:08):
a national clock. There's no argument anymore over what time
it is, unless you're trying to to to synchronize Grandpa's
old pocket watch, which would have to do anyway with
a wind up. It's not an issue. The time changes
incrementally with the sunrise every single day on the daylight
(31:31):
time and cirtadian rhythm and I'm sorry to interrupt, and
rhythm is maintained, so it makes perfect sense to me.
And I don't know why nobody in Congress has or
at least that I know of, has come up with
the idea.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Under your under your approach, what time would sunset be
on Christmas Day?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
However many hours of daylight you have starting at sick
and start worry about when sunset is they the daylight
starts at six, the sunrise is set six a m.
And from there on it doesn't matter. You wind up
where you wind up.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I'm just trying to look that up while we talk.
You sound very informed on this, how many hours.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
Have about this for a very very.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Long time, which is great for us, But why.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Well why not? I mean, what surse does it make?
What sense does it make Dan to have to jump
the clocks back and forth and after the time, after
the spring forward, we have accidents at a much higher rate.
Emergency rooms are packed. It's the circadian rhythm is what
(32:47):
everybody needs is attuned to, whether we know it or not.
Our animals don't change our owls for the farmers don't change.
They're going to eat when when they come in.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Then, Frederick, ask you one more thing, and this has
been fascinating. I'm grateful you called and shared this. Uh
So we get nine hours and twenty one minutes of
daylight on Christmas Day, So under your preferred approach six
seventy nine ten tone, about three point thirty in the afternoon,
the sun would set.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah. Yeah, I wonder what that would do to the population.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
Again, everybody would be healthier. We're messy a lot more.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Baby, this is what?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
This is? What is what?
Speaker 8 (33:33):
I guess that's a potential upside.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, no, that's right.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
We need them.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Frederick, You're awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
The only reason I'm leaving is I'm trying to squeeze
some people in before the break because we have a
special guest right after the break. Thank you, Frederick. I
hope you call off and very interesting stuff. Mary in
Commerce City. You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Welcome, Thank Dan. How are you living the dream?
Speaker 8 (33:53):
All right?
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Well, I am a huge advocate, and I have some advice.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 10 (33:59):
The best thing that you could do for those kittens
is get them to a shelter.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Okay, okay, And.
Speaker 10 (34:05):
We had instead of giving them away.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Oh tell me why, because we've been visiting shelters, like
in person, trying to work out arrangements. But why is
a shelter better than like friends who want to take them?
Speaker 10 (34:16):
Okay, so this is what they do. First of all,
they will be spade neutered. Fact, and they all any
potential adopters will also be vetted.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Okay. And with that our friends, like if we have
friends who want.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Them, well, now you've got to have confidence that they're
going to, you know, do all the things that need
to be done, which is not what your friends probably would.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Listen, we're very protective of these cats.
Speaker 10 (34:44):
Yeah, I mean, what you're going to have is what
you have with Mama kitty. And if they don't do that.
And the reason I know is I have trapped and
helped over you know, probably twenty five cats and kittens. Wow,
I get on my trap room, I get a stade,
a neuter. Sometimes they have to be let back out
because they're too barreal. But they then we don't have
(35:06):
another population of kittens because cats can have kittens four
times a year.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I've heard that. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Hey, quick question Mary, because we're up against our break here.
Is there any cure for being allergic to cats? Because
we love these cats. We'd love to keep one or two.
There is, We've got a kid who's allergic. What is
zax says there's a cure.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
I only know because I heard they're making a big
deal about it with mom Donnie getting the shots.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
For okay shots. Yeah, Mary, have you heard.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Of such a thing?
Speaker 10 (35:36):
Well, you know, I'm not sure, but in my world,
I wouldn't care. I would sneeze, cough, do whatever, because
I love cats. I would have fifty cats if I could.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
These things are so cool.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Like I get up in the middle of the night
to go to the bathroom. I wandered down to watch
the cats for a few minutes. I mean, these are kittens.
They're so fun to watch. Thank you Mary for that
appreciated Hey, when we come back on the other I
think you're really going to like this, and part of
it'll make you mad. A charter school now wants to
use advanced your own technology to protect kids against school shooters,
(36:10):
and they're facing opposition from whom.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
We'll deep dive it after the break on The Dan
Kaplo Show.
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Does not matter
what our plan for this show is, because it's very clear.
You know, when you get text coming in overnight, you know,
(00:22):
it's very clear what most people want to talk about.
And I don't think there really is kind of the
water cooler thing anymore. I think that that went out
with the Internet, etc. But if there was a modern
water cooler where people get around to talk about what's
important to them, most people would be talking about the
very unusual and unique Colorado governors race. So we will continue,
(00:44):
of course to take calls and text on that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's red hot for good reason.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I mean, life short, and it isn't that often in life,
especially in politics, you see things you've never seen before,
and then they're kind of fun and interesting to talk about,
like how do we get here, where we go and
all that good stuff. So we'll continue to have that conversation,
particularly about the governor's race. But in Colorado, it extends
beyond that, because we're also in this unusual moment I
(01:09):
honestly thought i'd never see. And I'm a young buck
where the Democratic Party is now becoming openly the Socialist
Democratic Party of Colorado. So we're in that unique moment.
So how does all that intersect and flow? So we'll
be talking about that so much more. I want to
get to today with you, and as always say pop
up whenever you'd like and and we'll jump into whatever
(01:30):
you want. I mean, my real job, and it has
been for forty two years now, is is as a
draw lawyer, and so I'm very used to being interrupted
when people more important than me, you know, i e.
The judge or jurors have questions they want answered. So
I'm very very happy to interrupt the planned events of
the day to talk about whatever you'd like. Three at
(01:51):
three seven one, three eight two five five d A
N five seven seven through nine. For me, one of
the most interesting issues that impacts you the most and
is red hot right now is the US on the
verge of changing now to full time daylight savings time.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
And do you like that?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And as you know, that means that generally a year round,
it will stay lighter later, Bob. The trade off it
will stay darker later. And that that's the thing that
I think is going to be so interesting to hear
from you on I mean, my goodness, I mean, you know,
the mornings staying dark till like eight eight, fifteen, eight
(02:31):
thirty in the depths of winter.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
How do you feel about that? Three all three seven
one three eight two.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Five five the number And as always you can text
d A N five seven seven three nine. Young Zach
kind enough to return for today's show? What was would
your guests be? Let's say this, this change becomes permanent,
we expect it will be. And it's Christmas Day, It's
Christmas Day. What time do you think the sun is
(02:59):
going to rise and set under this new permanent daylight
savings time?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Oh wow, that's a good question. Like, yeah, I guess I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Sure you're giving a new song.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah right, No, it is so Christmas Day, our next
Christmas Day.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
If this permanent DST goes through, and it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Will, the sun is going to rise on Christmas Day
at eight twenty am.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
That's funky, that's kind of mind blowing. Now, the trade
off is instead of the sun setting at four forty one.
It's going to set at five forty one. How do
you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'd like it.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I guess the thing that I immediately think of is
are we maybe causing more accidents because you have more
people driving on those early morning dark roads when maybe
the plows haven't been out and there's more ice. That's
that's I guess the one big drawbout you need.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
A radio show that is that is so smart sack
because of the work I do right, which is this
catastrophic injury and death case work. That's that's been my
whole folks all along. I'm really afraid of that.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The alternative is you'll have more rush hours that will
be in daylight. So how does that trade off breakdown?
And I've been doing a little research on that, trying
to say, okay, which is the safest approach there?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Now? What really concerns me about it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Being dark in the morning and what I think it
tips the safety away from this change is the kiddos. Right,
because your kiddos are getting out of school by three
o'clock anyway most places, but they're all going to school early,
and it really concerns me that they'll be going to
school in the dark. You make the great point about, Okay,
(04:37):
you're more likely to still have ice on the roads, etc.
Having handled the case where the most precious little six
year old boy you can ever imagine, you know, a tremendous,
tremendous young single mom's only child was crushed to death
outside of school when a car.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Couldn't stop on ice. And so those kind of scenarios just.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Terrifying, terrifying. And yeah, so so what do you think,
what do you think about this change?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Listen when you get into certain because like for me
at Christmas, it doesn't improve life at all if it's
lighter later on that day, who cares. I mean here
in Colorado, we're not out playing golf or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
You want it lighter earlier in the morning so the
kids aren't waking you up when it's.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So dark out. No, that's a great point too.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But uh but yes, so so to me, wait, if
you're talking about Christmas time, the trade off isn't worth it.
Now you get into other times of the year when
there might be more stuff being done outside.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Say you're in the fall.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now, say you're in October, and you got all the
high school after school stuff. You had to be real
nice to have it lighter later. So yeah, full of
trade offs, but i'd love your take on this.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Sorry, maybe you're losing some Friday night lights.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Let me thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I'm going to look that up during the break that
that's that's a good question, Zach, because because you don't
want to do that. There's just something very very special
about Friday night lights. And I wouldn't want any kid
who plays football, any cheerleader, any kid who goes to
those games, I wouldn't want them deprived of Friday night
lights over this. So anyway, we'll get your take on
all that. One of the many things we're going to
be talking about on.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The show today President Trump.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
There's a new gold coin that's going to be issued
in America and he has the image of President Trump
and in God we trust on it, and so I
want to get your take on that. I'll give you
my spoiler alert, not that you care, but that is well. See,
I think Guy's been historically great. You know how I
feel about him, and I think I think he's going
(06:42):
to go down as one of our best presidents ever.
And I've been critical of him when he's deserved it,
and there's been plenty of that. But to me, just
kind of my overview on life worldview is we're all
going to make mistakes, right, We're all going to make mistakes,
we all going to do some stupid things. We're all
going to let our ego carry us away sometimes this,
(07:05):
this that that. To me, I give far more points
for greatness that then I do for mistakes, far more
points for upside than for downside. Like if we were
scoring a golf tournament, and in golf, I would give
many more points for a birdie than I would, you know,
(07:27):
detract for a bogie, just because it's the great that
tends to shape the world and and and be of
more benefit to everybody. Now, hey, of course, you can
have some mistakes or screw ups or bad acts that
are so awful they can tip that balance. But overall, generally,
and I think you'd agree about this. In your life
(07:47):
and the life of your family members and of the community,
that is those great accomplishments that have so much more
impact than the mess ups And Trump has done so
much on the upside because he's bold by nature, he's
fearless by nature, He's got the right ideology. Now, on everything,
but a lot of things. Anyway, with all those positive
(08:07):
things said about Trump, I still don't think he should
be honoring himself. I don't think he should be naming
the Kennedy Center after himself. I don't think he should
be naming coins after himself.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Let other people do that when you're gone.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And I understand his concern that there's so much a
hatred for him out there among those on the left,
in large part because of the great things he does
that these may never happen, the coin, the this, the that,
but still you got to take that chance. You got
to take that chance. And so I just don't think
(08:42):
he should be naming stuff after himself. I don't think
anything should be named after politicians while they're still in office.
And I think we name way too much stuff after
politicians to begin with.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
We've talked about this on the show.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
We're talking about a major roadway like Paya Boulevard. It
should be named after somebody who gave their life for
this state and country. Should be named after one of
the you know, hero teachers or students who died to
save their classes, like Dave Sanders or Kendrick Castile or
some heroic member of our military who symbolizes and epitomizes
(09:18):
other heroes. This stuff should not be named after politicians,
you know they Yeah, anyway, I've devoted many shows to
that before, speaking of which, we're going to have.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
A wonderful guest with us at five oh six.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Talk about a great thing a charter schools doing that
some are opposing, and that is bringing in this tremendous
new drone technology to combat active.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Shooters in school shooting.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So you're probably asking yourself, who in the right mind
would oppose that. The answer is nobody, But there's still
people opposing it. So we'll have a guest on that
at five oh six as well.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Show now back to the Day Kapitlis Show podcast to
do that.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
But he does have the power to try to intimidate people.
He's demonstrated his will to abuse power. I expect him
to use whatever he puts out there on Thursday as
a pretext either for some attempted unconstitutional use of federal
power to interfere in the election, or to give his
proxies and loyalists in state and local jurisdictions some cover
(10:27):
for whatever they might attempt.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Cop that is John awesome, and he's previewing what he
expects the President to say to the nation tomorrow night
and national address, and a big part of it, we're told,
will deal with this issue of election integrity.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Can't wait to see what the president has, you know,
what the evidence is, what's new. Cannot wait to see
all that and then the conversation to follow. Three O
three seven one three eight two five five d an
five seven seven three nine. Where I think America is
at an issue and I respect and understand the intensity
(11:03):
of many in America and many in our audience, But
I think where America as a whole is that on
that issue is I think people believe there is fraud.
I think people believe correctly that any amount of fraud
is too much. I think that a majority probably believes
that there's not routinely enough fraud to alter the outcome,
(11:27):
but that it's certainly happened somewhere sometime in terms of
twenty twenty, I think there's still a ton of lingering
doubt and suspicion among many, many people in America over
whether that election was stolen, Whether my camp, the folks
who say, hey, there are a lot of fair questions,
but I haven't seen proof it was stolen. Whether my
(11:48):
camp is in the majority as I think it is
or the minority, I think it's a relatively close call
one way or the other. So I think this is
a bad thing for America. I think there has to
be a lot more confident in center elections. I think
it hurts Republicans a million times more than Democrats. I
don't think there has been one Democrat in the history
(12:08):
of the world who has said, you know, I'm not
even going to bother to vote because it's rigged anyway. No,
because if there's a Democrat who thinks it's rigged, they
probably think it's rigged in the Democrats favor whether it
is or not.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I think there are a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Of Republicans who do not vote because they believe it's
rigged anyway. I think that probably costs the GOP candidates
those Senate elections in Georgia that we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Back in the beginning, back in the day.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So yeah, I think it's a very very harmful dynamic
to Republicans. I think the Democrats are very happy, very
happy to keep fostering this idea of stolen elections because
I think they believe it suppresses Republican vote. Now they
think the power it be would be very very unhappy
(13:02):
if if there were on the Democrat side, if there
was stricter control over mal and balloting and things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
But end of the day, yeah, end of the day,
I think there is little proof.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I haven't seen any proof that any particular race has
been altered by the fraud, but that doesn't mean that
it hasn't that one hasn't somewhere sometime, and it doesn't
mean that we we shouldn't do everything we can to to.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Have zero frauds.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
So it'll be I think America is open to what
the President has to say tomorrow night, and I think
it's going to be really incumbent on the President to
produce some evidence rather than allegations. There has to be evidence,
I think for America to take it seriously, and we'll
see what he has. Three out three seven, one, three, eight, two, five, five, an, five, seven,
(13:55):
seventh thor nine. Zach, I don't think he would be
doing this tomorrow night on national TV, not with a
lot of build up unless he had some evidence. The
American people haven't seen yet, so I think that is
for certain. Then the next question is will that evidence
be strong or weak? Will it be persuasive or not?
You know, we'll find out together.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, I think there has to be evidence, because these
aren't allegations. Excuse me, these aren't allegations he hasn't levied
in the past.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You know, he said such and such.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Election was rigged before, or this one will be rigged,
or YadA YadA.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Why not make these claims.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
In the past, or you know, why make such a
spectacle out of it if there wasn't something different this
time at all the other times he's alleged it.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, no, right, you're right about that. And then it
ties into, of course, the push for the Save Act.
And you know that there are many things in America
that we almost all agree on, but the fact a
vote a voters should have to show ID Yeah, I
think the vast.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Majority of Americans agree on that.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And I think the fact the Democratic Party is opposing
that just tells you everything you.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Need to know.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Right, But it's not proof that the presidential was stolen.
I have not seen that proof. It's not proof any
particular election was stolen. But if a party as a
whole is howling like smash cats because they don't want
voters toff to show an id.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, and that reminds me of something my late father,
Saint Dad.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You didn't tell many police stories because he really liked
to leave that at work and just at home, just
you know, not bring anything negative home. But one story
he did tell. He was a young cop, and my
dad is the greatest guy in the world, utmost integrity,
young cop.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
And he gets this important extra work on election day.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Is going to get the extra hours for working at
a polling place. Big deal, because that extra money mattered
a ton to our family. And so he goes in
before the poll's open. And I can't remember. Maybe my sister,
who often listens, maybe she remembers which polling station in
Chicago Southside.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
He goes in before it opens, and he does his job.
He's walking around, he looks at the I don't know
what it was. I can't remember if it was machines.
I think it was machines at that point, and there
are already a whole bunch of votes cast for the Democrat.
And so my dad goes to his superior, whoever that was,
to report it and they threw him out of the
(16:26):
polling station. So wow, he had to sit outside all day.
And yeah, So anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
What's going on today?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I guess President Trump is going to present some new
evidence tomorrow night. And if it is real, tangible, persuasive evidence,
I think the American people are open to that.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Some Texters dan, yes.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Daylight savings time permanently, later sunset benefits most everyone sends.
Most are awake then, whereas a smaller part of the
population is outside of their homes at eight to nine am.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I gotta tell you, I had this big case. I
think it was my.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
First really big case, and it was this horrific, horrific
bus crash up in Alaska that caused this quadriplegic to
this amazing, amazing young woman. And so I was up
there looking for witnesses. And at that time of the winter,
it wasn't it was getting dark. It could it have
(17:24):
been like two in the afternoon and it wouldn't get
light till late in the morning. There'd be a few
hours a day of daylight. As I remember it, and honestly,
I remember thinking that was kind of cool. Now I
know we have the safety consideration but I actually felt
a little bit more productive doing my work up there
in the dark, like during normal business hours.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
So that's going to be an interesting thing to see, Zach.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
With permanent daylight savings time, assuming it goes through, is
what the impact is going to be on productivity at work?
I'm I thought I was more productive working in the dark.
Maybe maybe that's just me. All righty lines in fuego,
here's my promise to you. We will come back. We
will go straight to those phone lines. And I have
(18:09):
this special guest, really neat stuff. I love when technology
helps us leap forward. And she's gonna be talking about
this charter school now that plans to use these specialized
drones to protect kids against active shooters, and the school's
facing opposition from who You're on the Game.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Kapitala show.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
And now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
From this messy pretty made of funs ha ha, my
messy ha gonna tell you off.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I think he was that happy when his kid was born.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Holy cal. I loved hearing that. Though I was pulling
for Argentina. No offense to our friends from Great Britain.
I just think it matters more to Argentina right now
than it would than it wouldn't matter to England, and
so that was that was amazing. They were down, they
were down one, one to nothing. I'm not never gonna
sing nil. I'm sorry, it's nothing. They were down one
(19:39):
to nothing, very very late in that game. Of course,
you never know when the game's gonna end, because they
it doesn't end like.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
A real game when the time expires.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
They've got extra time, and who knows who even decides how.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Much extra time. It doesn't show on.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The scoreboard, which has to make you very suspicious, right
it's pretty much whenever the ref decides the extra time
is done. But they were down one to nothing with
very little time left, and then Argentina just put on
the jets and one two to one.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
It was a remarkable finish. Both goals by Argentina were epic.
It was a great game back and forth. And man,
now we've got that Argentina spaying for who wins it all?
That's gonna be a great one.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I never thought I'd cared all about soccer, and I've
loved this whole World Cup, probably because it's been here.
Never thought I'd cared all about cats. I know, nothing
about cats, and then we had this litter of kittens
born under our porch.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Adorable by the way, you sent me the video. Yell,
those things are Mari.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
You want one because we're adopting them out.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Oh, I got one, and I don't think he wants
a room.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Oh I think he does. But they Yeah, so they're
born under the porch.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And then you know, so I ordered I get some
cat food from King Soupers, and then we start feeding them.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And now I sense that this video.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I can't think of anything that I could discuss on air,
anything I would rather watch.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Then these cats, these kittens play. I could watch them
for hours.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, but we know now we've been doing the research,
it's time to get them adopted because apparently people won't
adopt cats. They'll adopt kittens, but they won't adopt cats.
And AI is telling us that these kittens are probably
six seven weeks, so they're not weaned yet. And I
don't want to take them away from their mom, who
is a great mom. She's there all the time.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah, that's a tough window, is tough needle to thread.
But yeah, I'm sure you'll find them a.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Good They're incredible and I will post video at sometime
because truly I would rather watch that right.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Now than anything, any game, anything.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I just watch these cats, these kittens play back to
the phone lines. Let's go to Carolyn Lakewood. You're on
the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Welcome.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Well, Hi Dan, thanks for taking my car I'm against
the daylight savings time permanently. I didn't vote for Trump
to have him get rid of the Standard time used
to Standard time. We barely have Standard time for four
months right now. It was six months. Now they want
to get and I think Tom Conton is going to
(22:10):
vote against it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Well, you're taking this personally, Carol, So I'm grateful you called.
Why do you like standard times so much?
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Because I don't like I don't like changing the clocks
all the time. If they're going to get rid of it,
keep it on Standard time. That's what it was always on.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Wow. Wouldn't that mean you liked him?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
And also changing the clocks. When I changed the clocks,
I changed them a week before.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I like that, turning him back, I'd like change him
eight months later.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
I don't lose an hour when I do them weeks before.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yeah, So I just don't like it. I used to
work for fifty years and thirty six different jobs, and
I always got up on time. I sleep sort of
likes Trump. I have insomnia all the time. Why only
four hours a night?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
If I'm lucky, What do you do with the rest
of your hours at night?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
I can listen to the radio. I listened to the
Red Eye from eleven o'clock at night up till five
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Wow, yeah, because they actually they have a pretty good show.
They're on five straight hours of It's the same my
fixed show. It's the same channel you're on.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
If you ever listen to I have not because I
go to bed early and get up and work like
really really early.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
But let me ask you, do you ever get a
full night's sleep?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
No? I don't get eight hours at all?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Say.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
My problem is when I went through menopause. I'm seventy
six now. Ever since I've went through menopause at forty three,
I've been I have insomnia and half life. Wow wow
keeps me up most of the night anyway, it's really wow.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well, I will try to find I will try to
find my speech to the South Metro Republican Breakfast and
send it to you because you will get your first
good night's sleep in a long time. But Carol, thank
you for the call. You're a great sport. I hope
you call us back. I've never met a person so
devoted to Standard time.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Hey, I love it.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, I wonder how many others there are out there.
But you know, say, if we stuck with Standard time
year round, I think it'd be a disaster because summer,
like one of the sweetest things in life are these
beautiful long summer nights. All of a sudden, the sun's
setting at seven thirty in the summer. No, thank you,
Carly and Hyland's ranch. You're on the dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Welcome.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
I hate daylight saving this time. Why I love Central
Standard Time. I think they should keep it that way.
Why well, first of all, I love when it gets
dark like a four point thirty because you put wood
in a fire, nice fire getting colder, you stay inside,
much more productive with war, I could. I can't stand summer,
(25:02):
so I could kill less about Oh, I can't stand it.
I can't wait until this heat waves over. It's right, Oh, a.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Little spoiled Charlie. It's not even humid here. But but listening,
I know I'm with you at Christmas.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
I'm from the Midwest, so I know. Actually I'm from Illinois.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
We need some lightning bugs.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
No, I wanted to stay standard, but whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
Please take good care of those little kittens and the.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh man, do you want one? Please?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Please?
Speaker 9 (25:32):
I wish I could, but I have a dog that
will not tolerate cats.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah, yeah, the old. Anything that starts with I wish
I could.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Appreciate the call, thank you, thank you? Those never end well.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Has there ever been any answer that started with I
wish I could that ended well?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
No? No, every guy knows that.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Three or three someone three eight two five d an
five seven seven three nine. I am going to post
this video of the kittens because again, I'm not a
cat guy. Our daughter is allergic to cats, and so
we've never had them. But but I didn't have one
growing up. We had an outdoor cat that wandered in
every now and then. But Felix, God rest his soul,
(26:19):
might still be alive because they live a long time.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Right you have one, Zach, They live a long time.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
It depends on the cats.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Some can live to you know, I think twenty And
I just saw an article that I think in Japan
they're they're developing some miracle drug that can get them
to live to forty or fifty or something crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Why I don't think you should do that.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
That seems like it would be horrible.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
We forgot an eighteen year old dog who shows no
signs of slowing down. Decided ten years ago it didn't
like go into the bathroom outside anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Amy gets it acupuncture.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
So the thing is as fast as secretariat can't even
catch it eighteen years old.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
And that's the thing that's like the you know, pets
are perfect except for their their life cycles don't perfectly
line up with ours. If we could change that, that'd
be great, But I wouldn't want to. I don't want
my cat, you know, getting old and starting to you know,
have his quality of life to decrease the twenty and
then keep him around till he's fifty.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
No, no, no, no, none of that. And you can't.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I mean, as much as you love and care for
the animal, you can't have it take over your life.
Oh no, of course, I mean yeah, yeah, but we're
in that phase right now where we've got two old
incontinent dogs.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, that's always hard.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And we love them both, and so tried the diapers.
I said, I do not even buy those diapers.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It does not work, and it isn't worth it. It is
I would rather get a new carpet every week. Do
not buy that diapers. But they're wonderful, wonderful creatures.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I'd see. Yeah, so you do what you gotta do.
But these kittens, truly, I could sit there and watch
them all day. And I don't know how long that
kittens stage will last, but they have such amazing personalities.
And every night they go sleep under a porch. I
mean they're Yeah, it's really impressive. Three at three sevene
three eight two five, five five seven, seventy nine years
(28:21):
a deal lines are in Fuego. Most people wanting to
talk about this daylight savings times. I get it because
talk about things that practically impact you, and this change
it looks like maybe about to happen. So I take
text everything on that some others want to talk about. Okay,
President Trump says he has big new evidence of vote fraud.
What do you think it is? Where do you think
all that's headed? Special guests at five oh five from
(28:44):
a charter school, brilliant new drone technology to fight back
against school shooters. They're actually getting opposition to it. Who
in the right mind would oppose an answer nobody.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
You're on the Dan Kaplo Show.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast where.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
They said that Argentina was down one nil. Don't say nil.
Don't say nil unless you're a true soccer fan. It's
so pretentious. Just say nothing right now. If you're a
true soccer fan, you live that stuff, you can say nil.
I just hate people being pretentious. Three or three seven
one three eight two five five d A five seven
seven three or nine. We fly to our jam phone nines.
(29:28):
We go to beautiful Castle Pines, Colorado. Frederick, you're on
the show.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Can you hear me now? Ah?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, trademark that you'll make some money.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
Yeah, well, I think somebody already did that. Rise. Well, look, man,
we're in a time where we have technology available to
us that can take us right back to biblical times
back then. If you'll recall, they started the day with
sunrise and it was typically six am like it is here,
(29:59):
and the third hour was nine. We know about the
crucifixion of Christ. We can do that, We could put
we could set each time zone in the middle of
the time zone and sacredized to sunrise. You never have
another spring forward fallback. You'd have maximization of daylight every
(30:19):
single day based on.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Can you elaborate on that little bit? Take let's say
take Colorado on Christmas Day?
Speaker 8 (30:27):
What does that look like Colorado on Christmas Day when
the sun comes up in the middle of the time zone,
and it wouldn't be Colorado, would be Mountain Pins. You
still have the same time zones, but you take the
middle of the time zone about forty fifth parallel or so,
and when the sun rises there would be six am
(30:47):
for each consecutive time zone. We're already working with clocks.
They're standardized to the to the U Naval Observatory clock
in Fort Collins. You've had a comic clocks on the
wall of your studio for decades, and there's no reason.
All of our computers, even our phones, are synchronized to
(31:08):
a national clock. There's no argument anymore over what time
it is, unless you're trying to to to synchronize Grandpa's
old pocket watch, which would have to do anyway with
a wind up. It's not an issue. The time changes
incrementally with the sunrise every single day on the daylight
(31:31):
time and cirtadian rhythm and I'm sorry to interrupt, and
rhythm is maintained, so it makes perfect sense to me.
And I don't know why nobody in Congress has or
at least that I know of, has come up with
the idea.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Under your under your approach, what time would sunset be
on Christmas Day?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
However many hours of daylight you have starting at sick
and start worry about when sunset is they the daylight
starts at six, the sunrise is set six a m.
And from there on it doesn't matter. You wind up
where you wind up.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I'm just trying to look that up while we talk.
You sound very informed on this, how many hours.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
Have about this for a very very.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Long time, which is great for us, But why.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Well why not? I mean, what surse does it make?
What sense does it make Dan to have to jump
the clocks back and forth and after the time, after
the spring forward, we have accidents at a much higher rate.
Emergency rooms are packed. It's the circadian rhythm is what
(32:47):
everybody needs is attuned to, whether we know it or not.
Our animals don't change our owls for the farmers don't change.
They're going to eat when when they come in.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Then, Frederick, ask you one more thing, and this has
been fascinating. I'm grateful you called and shared this. Uh
So we get nine hours and twenty one minutes of
daylight on Christmas Day, So under your preferred approach six
seventy nine ten tone, about three point thirty in the afternoon,
the sun would set.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah. Yeah, I wonder what that would do to the population.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
Again, everybody would be healthier. We're messy a lot more.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Baby, this is what?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
This is? What is what?
Speaker 8 (33:33):
I guess that's a potential upside.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, no, that's right.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
We need them.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Frederick, You're awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
The only reason I'm leaving is I'm trying to squeeze
some people in before the break because we have a
special guest right after the break. Thank you, Frederick. I
hope you call off and very interesting stuff. Mary in
Commerce City. You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Welcome, Thank Dan. How are you living the dream?
Speaker 8 (33:53):
All right?
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Well, I am a huge advocate, and I have some advice.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 10 (33:59):
The best thing that you could do for those kittens
is get them to a shelter.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Okay, okay, And.
Speaker 10 (34:05):
We had instead of giving them away.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Oh tell me why, because we've been visiting shelters, like
in person, trying to work out arrangements. But why is
a shelter better than like friends who want to take them?
Speaker 10 (34:16):
Okay, so this is what they do. First of all,
they will be spade neutered. Fact, and they all any
potential adopters will also be vetted.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Okay. And with that our friends, like if we have
friends who want.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Them, well, now you've got to have confidence that they're
going to, you know, do all the things that need
to be done, which is not what your friends probably would.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Listen, we're very protective of these cats.
Speaker 10 (34:44):
Yeah, I mean, what you're going to have is what
you have with Mama kitty. And if they don't do that.
And the reason I know is I have trapped and
helped over you know, probably twenty five cats and kittens. Wow,
I get on my trap room, I get a stade,
a neuter. Sometimes they have to be let back out
because they're too barreal. But they then we don't have
(35:06):
another population of kittens because cats can have kittens four
times a year.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I've heard that. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Hey, quick question Mary, because we're up against our break here.
Is there any cure for being allergic to cats? Because
we love these cats. We'd love to keep one or two.
There is, We've got a kid who's allergic. What is
zax says there's a cure.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
I only know because I heard they're making a big
deal about it with mom Donnie getting the shots.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
For okay shots. Yeah, Mary, have you heard.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
