Speaker 2 (00:14):
Better put those gloves on. The Commis are coming. This
is going to be an amazing time to be alive
as we watch the Commis come out of the closet
after Donnie's big win in New York, which we expect
to be confirmed tonight. Wow, just can't wait. Who do
you think will be the first in Colorado to come
out and worship at the altar of Mam Donnie? And
(00:36):
what kind of perfume do you think they'll try to
put on this pig? How do you think they'll try
to dress up this communism of Mam Donni? Did this
clear blatant income redistribution? To a point? Because I'm going
to coin a term here, Ryan, I've never heard it
anywhere before. We may never hear it again other than
on this show. But it captures Mamdanni, It captures all
(01:00):
of these Colorado Democratic Party socialist who you know you
can have the debate, are they really communists? Are they
really socialists? It's like the debate between being hung and shot, right,
the same difference. You're dead in the end, basically, and
that's where we're headed with this group unless we can
turn the battleship around three H three seven one three
(01:21):
A two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Not talking about physically dead. I'm talking
about being dead in terms of a growing, thriving dynamics
society promising true opportunity for all these socialists, these these commies,
they get their way, well then of course that's gone,
(01:42):
and that is what they want. But here's the term
I want to coin and the tone the term is
crony communist or crony commies has a better ring to it,
crony socialists, because that's what they really are. That's what
they really are. And you remember, it was a major
c change in the Republican Party that we've all witnessed
(02:05):
together since that Donald Trump victory in sixteen is the
revolt of the grassroots and the GOP. And thank god,
literally they did this, the revolt against crony capitalists because
the GOP and when I came to the GOP, I
was a Democrat for years, then unaffiliated, then came to
the GOP. It was still in that phase of being
(02:28):
very committed to and in bed with corporate America for
good reason, and you know, well intended, and the idea was, okay,
corporate America, freedom, job creators, all great, and it is
all great that that is great when it's done right.
But the problem was you had a lot of crony
capitalism where you had a lot of elected officials taking
(02:52):
care of their buddies, their cronies, their big donors at
the expense of the little guy. And so we've seen
the GOP grassroots push back and Donald Trump at the
tip of the spear against this crony capitalism. Well for
the betterment of America, right, because when you take a
corporation that's doing it right, that is a beautiful thing,
(03:14):
you know, creating jobs, benefiting the community, so many positives
when you get corporations and corporate citizens who are doing
it right and and it's a foundational piece of America.
And that's what we should respect, and that's what we
should appreciate, and that's what we should support legally and
(03:35):
do business with the right corporations, et cetera. You get
the bad corporations. They do an awful lot of harm.
You get the crony capitalists, where you've got the elected
official choosing winners and losers among corporations. That's what Trump
and the GOP grassroots has wisely pushed back against. But
that's what you get with the Madamis of the world
(03:56):
and these many mom Donnies in Colorado who are now
going to percolate up to the surface tomorrow. Ryan, It's
going to be like cicadas. I'm telling you, man, They've
just been waiting. They've been chattering just below the surface.
You know, if you put your ear to the ground,
you can hear them. And they've been afraid to pop
their little heads out, you know, for fear of Oh,
Colorado's not ready for us saying we're really socialist. But
(04:19):
once mo'm Donnie wins, some won't be able to help themselves.
But in the end, they're just as harmful as your
old style communist or socialist, whatever you want to call them.
They're just as harmful. But they're really phonies because they're
crony communists and they're crony socialist and you know how
(04:40):
they prove it. My friend and this is a great
way to start the show has given everybody maybe what's
going to become your favorite parlor trick over Thanksgiving, Christmas
into the new year as this big surge toward socialism
in the Democratic Party begins to gain after the New
(05:00):
York results tonight. And that is you can just dissect people,
expose people in a second. Okay, whether you're talking to
one of the socialists themselves, like a Colorado politician, or
you're talking to mom Donnie, or you're talking to just
somebody at dinner who supports all that, ask him one question.
(05:21):
Does fill in the blank start with Mandanni? Does fill
in the blank support vouchers, educational vouchers, true school choice,
support allowing that poor child, whether that child is white
or black or brown, that poor child who's going to
be destined to a failing government runs school that does
(05:41):
Mom Donnie fill in black? Polist hicken Looper Bennett, do
they support true school choice? And what's the answer going
to be? The answer is going to be what this
turkey is a little raw, right, But the truth is
they don't because their crony commis they're crony socialists, they're
(06:01):
phony communists. I mean, they've got all the deadly stuff
of communism and socialism because they're all based around deft,
they're all based around income redistribution, taking what you work
hard for and giving it to somebody else. But they're
crony comies because when it comes to that poor kid,
oh no, no, no no, they're not going to give that
(06:23):
kid an equal opportunity and education so that kid can
then go out and compete and prosper on her own
and earn her own way. That's the last thing in
the world they're going to do because that kind of
economic equality would take off the teachers' union, which the
Democratic Party is totally dependent on. So in the end,
(06:43):
they don't care about people. They don't care about little kids,
they don't care about the weekend defenses, they don't care
about the poor, they don't care about minorities. You know,
they are just power mad socialist, communist somewhere in between.
But their power mad people who want central control and
they want to fundamentally transform in America in a way
(07:05):
that has never worked anywhere in the world. But don't
you think rian that just fully exposes them. If we
could have Mondanni on the show the very first question
I'd ask him. If I could only have one, this
would be the one is, Hey, do you support vouchers?
True school choice, pure school choice? You give that poor parent,
you give that middle income parent. Okay, here's the cash
(07:26):
equivalent of that, you know, twelve thirteen thousand dollars per kid.
Family can take it and go spend it at any
school they want to, public or private. His answer is
going to be no, and he's going to be completely exposed.
So this is going to be fun. Ryan, what's your bet?
Who is going to be the first of the Colorado
(07:48):
Kami cicadas or socialist cicadas to pop their little head
above ground tomorrow and just be all a glow in
the mom Donnie Victory.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, I don't think it'll be Bennett.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
He's trying to run far and fast from this sort
of thing and ostensibly present himself as a moderate, So
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It'll be him.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But he's gonna kiss the ring. It's gonna be so
fun to see how he tries to kiss Mam Donnie's posterior.
That is going to be hilarious to see. Right, You're
gonna get some like wiser. Wiser is just gonna go
straight to it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Why Wiser is is going to want to make a
show of kissing Mam Donnie's behind because Wiser wants to
outflank Bennett on the left. It's his only chance. That's
where the energy is with with you know, the socialist
left in Colorado. And uh but but Bennett's gonna have
(08:50):
to kiss the ring, gonna have to bend the knag,
gonna have to show his respects. But in a mellily
mouths kind of way. So what form does that take?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It would have to be some kind of passive acknowledgement.
There's a lot of energy, you know, on the left
of the party, and we have to come together. I
think I gonna hear that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So that's beautifully done. And then what about Hickenlooper, because
he's still got to be concerned about a challenge on
the left. If the Dems had enough talent, I mean,
they've got a lot of these want to be commies
and socialists, but I don't know if any of the
young energetic ones is talented enough to challenge him from
(09:28):
the left. But if they could get the right person,
meaning like I mo'm Donnie, you know, articulate somebody who
looks good, somebody who can be a blank slate. People
can just kind of imagine they're whatever they want him
or her to be. But I don't. I can't think
of anybody like that on the bench. The best they
(09:48):
got is Jonah Goose, and Jonah Goose, I think is
already locked up by Bennett just kind of begging at
this point for the appointment to the US Senate. Shoud
been at win. Yeah, well, one way or the other,
it's going to be fun. So I love your thoughts
on that. Okay, which which of these Colorado lefties is
just going to be full on all out commie slash
(10:10):
socialist whatever you want to call it. Much more to
talk about on the show today. We'll get the decision
tonight from the voters, but I do want to talk
about this ban on flavored fape products in Michael Bloomberg
coming in and spending now five million to try to
back the ban, and the profoundly dishonest hypocrisy of the
Denversity Council pushing this ban, pushing this ban when it
(10:35):
fully supports legalized marijuana. So okay, kids, yeah, no no
flavored tobacco for you, which by the way. Kids shouldn't
have that, And there's a way to accomplish it that
I want to talk about when we Quebec but Denversity Council. Yeah,
no flavored tobacco for you kids, but.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Hey, go get stoned, have at it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
If you've looked back and some of the things that
that you thought at the time, maybe you said at
the time that the United States would be greated as
liberators for example, if you think looking back, that might
have raised expectations for the American people about what to
expect in Iraq that maybe weren't met.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
I think on Irock, we got the big, big issues right.
I think when all I said and done, from the
perspective of history, the vast majority of the Iraqi people
grateful for what we did. Far better to have their
democracy that's now in place rather than Saddam. We'm saying, really,
and the world's a far safer place because of what
we did.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Dick Cheney, God rest his soul. And you know what
a sad end I mean. Dick Cheney served America well
in certain ways, and no matter who we were talking
about passing away today, you know, I'd be you know,
saying God rest their soul. We all want more mercy
than justice in the end for ourselves. But at the
(12:02):
same time, what I see with Dick Cheney, Ryan is
something I've seen with some other really prominent conservatives who
devoted their lives to the cause and did a ton
of great work on behalf of conservative causes. I'm thinking
of George will as one example here among many Dick
(12:22):
Cheney and others who then and that doesn't mean they
got everything right, but I'm just talking about commitment over
all the conservatism in effect. But then they got into
a personal battle with Donald Trump, and at that point,
their personal battle with Trump became more important than the
causes they had spent their life fighting for. Bill Crystal's
(12:46):
another example. You know, people we've had on the show,
never had Dick Cheney on the show. He was Amy's
first big interview, and she did a great job, fantastic job,
and then found out afterward the photo journalist had forgotten
the film in the camera. She did a tremendous job. Anyway,
point b Yeah, the point being that's that's been kind
(13:08):
of a once in a lifetime phenomena that we've seen
in a sad one, a very sad one. Now, hey,
what do you think? What do you think that both
of us we see Trump as a historical figure, his voters,
and Trump saved American democracy in twenty sixteen for the
reasons we've discussed, and now we're into what is probably
going to be one of the great presidential terms in
American history. But being real about it, if Trump went
(13:33):
after you personally or me personally, the way that he
went after any of those other individuals, do you think
you'd be able to put your ego aside and just
stay out of that urinating match in order to continue
to support the causes or would you be like so
many of these others who ended up saying, no, you
(13:54):
got to vote for Hillary Clinton, or you got to
vote for Joe Biden. And of course, a vote for
Clinton Biden is a vote against all of the most
important conservative principles that we've fought for for so long.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, absolutely, I'd be able to set that aside, Dan,
because it wouldn't be about me.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
And I think you view the world this way too.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
It's not about me personally, it's about what's best for
the country. What is the best set of policies. This
is where I can't even wrap my head around it.
A guy that I actually like, who I know that
you know a bit, and he's from Chicago, Illinois, and
he's a former Republican representative in Congress, Joe Wall.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
She's been on with you not that long ago. I
like him.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I'm texted back and forth. We follow each other on X.
I message him from time to time. But this guy's
lost his mind when it comes to Trump. And he's
far from the only one, like you pointed out Bill Crystal,
George Will, Dick Cheney. And the thing is, you can't
abandon your principles just because your butt hurt over something
a guy said about you, like Donald Trump. And and
further to that point, Dan, real quick, if the Democratic
(14:52):
Party had stayed, let's say, in the same realm as
where Bill Clinton had the party when he led it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Okay, that's one thing.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
This is a radical left party that has no bearing
or resemblance to the Democratic Party of the nineties. And
there's nothing about it that any self respecting conservative, no matter.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
How they feel about Donald Trump. And go you know
what Kamala is. Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
There's nothing about Kamala Harris that was okay for any conservative.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
A thousand percent, thousand percent. All I'm saying is, and
I'm not way because they abandoned these life and death issues,
you know, in order to pursue their battle with Trump
and try to get back at him. Yeah, you can't
excuse that. I'm just saying, if he came after you
or he came after me, would we really be able
(15:41):
to have the discipline act differently? I would hope. So yeah,
hope we never find out. I doubt we will ever.
I would show up on the President's radar in any
kind of negative way, but I think you'd actually way, Yeah,
change was one of those.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I think you'd actually and I know I would. You'd
have fun with it, you know, you just kind of,
you know, rush it off. It's Donald Trump being Donald Trump,
and then you move on with your life. But you're
exactly right. Cheney took it very personally. I think from
a family standpoint, if that Donald Trump went after his
daughter Liz, and I don't blame him necessarily for that, and.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
After him, I think he went after Cheney as well. Listen, right,
and in the end, I am extraordinarily confident ninety nine
point nine nine nine ninety nine percent confident I would
not abandon my commitment to those core issues over something
like a personal battle with somebody else, even if it
was the President. I don't mean to do a holier
(16:34):
than now thing. I just know myself and for me,
that fundamental, foundational core issue is life. And like the
vast majority of pro lifers out there, in ways large
or small, you pay a price for being pro life.
You pay a price for being pro life. You know,
the people you save are are never going to come
(16:57):
back and thank you. They're never going to know you
save them. But you've got the full force of media academia,
you've got the full force of the leftist establishment. You
know how to harm you when you stand up for
innocent life. So it's one of the beautiful things about
the pro life community. It's as periods you get because
there's nothing in it for the pro lifers other than
(17:19):
doing the right thing and saving innocent life. So, like
most pro lifers, you know, I've already paid enough of
a price for that that I'm very confident that I
would stay true to that in the end. And it's
one reason why I'm so disappointed and these very prominent
conservatives who decided to abandon that issue. Oh yeah, go
vote for Hillary, go to vote for Kamala just because
(17:41):
they're in a piss and match with Donald Trump. Right, yeah, hey, Textures,
We've got so much going on this afternoon. I'm glad
this texter popped up because it leads to a topic
I'm going to jump on after the break, Dan, the
marijuana stores can sell cherry flavored gummy bears full of
high potent marijuana, but they can't sell a great flavored cigar.
That's liberal logic for you. That's liberal dishonesty for you.
(18:04):
And that's when we talk about this vote today in
Denver on the flavored tobacco band and listen, I don't
think kids in Colorado should have access to flavored nicotine products.
It's crazy. It's crazy for society to allow that to happen.
When we come back, I'll talk about a way we
can accomplish that and still protect freedom. But you think
(18:27):
of the dishonesty of the left wanting to ban the
sale of that while fully full throated supporting you know,
more dope stores on street corners than you have Starbucks
and McDonald's combined. Yeah, that's just dishonesty. They don't care
about the kids. I do.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
It's just a vile creature, the worst thing on the
face of the earth.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
But my way, you think he's the worst thing on
the face of the earth. Yeah, why is that?
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Because he's the President of the United States and he
does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact,
he's turned the Supreme Court into a row court, he's
abolished the House of Representatives.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Well, he's just broken her. He's just flat broken her. Remarkable,
Nancy Pelosi. I don't think it's any coincidence that she's
expected to announce her retirement tomorrow. And I mean she'll
serve out the rest of the term, of course, but yeah, remarkable.
He just flat broke her. And if you watch that video,
(19:40):
and that's a good thing, that's a very very positive thing,
because she's been living a lie, like all of these
elected Democrats that I'm aware of anyway, have been living
a lie. She's out there saying I'm a Catholic. Vote
for me. I'm a Catholic vote for me, and then
uses her immense power to undermine the the fundamental core
(20:01):
teaching of the church. She uses her immense power to
allow the legal killing of as many children as possible.
Before burst, she's been living this big line. That's one example, foundational,
but one example. So it's great that Trump has broken her.
Trump one of the lasting gifts of Trump has been
(20:22):
the way that he's exposed so many in high positions,
including me, the son of a thirty year cop who's
my hero best man at my wedding now in heaven.
I could have never imagined corrupt law enforcement at the
highest levels, but then Trump exposed COMI and the rod
at the top of the FBI. No reflection on the
(20:44):
great agents who are out there risking their lives every
day for us, but another service of his. He just
flat broke celosely. And if you get a chance when
you get home to google up that video, do you
see that video, Ryan, which one the video of that
bite of her. What you'll see is she's just small
and shriveled and snarling when she talks about a vile creature.
(21:08):
I mean he has broken her because he exposed her,
and he defeated her, and he defeated her whole machine,
and he defeated Barack Obama, and he had defeated that
entire apparatus, and he defeated their corruption of our criminal
justice system. He defeated them all, and that is a
lasting gift to us. So anyway, she's on her way out,
(21:32):
Good riddance. Three or three seven one three eight two
five five text d an five seven seven three nine.
So much going on this afternoon. Of course, once we
start to get any election results, we won't from Colorado,
but any election results nationally, I'll let you know, though
I don't think any of us are expecting any surprises nationally.
(21:53):
We opened the show talking about this great gift to
conservatives and Republicans by Extension America that will get tonight
when New York elects this communist mayor. And then we
have the little Kami cicadas in Colorado just so full
of ecstasy that they actually come out of the Kami
closet and tomorrow start kissing the ring and body parts
(22:16):
of Mamdani. And that's going to be fun to watch,
because Colorado ain't there. If you think I'm wrong, three
or three seven one three eight two five five text
d an five seven seven three nine. That is not Colorado.
Colorado is not socialist. Colorado is not communist. You know,
Colorado right now has a very dim view of the
Republican Party in Colorado and Republican candidates, but it is
(22:40):
in no way, shape or form look at the vote
on ballot issues. But we've got a lot of elected
officials who at their core support socialist type policies, and
and you've got many in the Democratic Party in power
who actually supports socialism. So it'll be fun to see this,
this race to kiss the behind of Mom Donnie tomorrow
(23:04):
unfold among Colorado politicians. So one of the things we've
been talking about, by the way, is this band that's
on the ballot today in Denver, this ban of flavored
nicotine products. And I just wanted to read you something funny.
Let me pull it up here because I was doing
my show research and I routinely used chap GPT in
(23:25):
my show research. We never rely on it in our
law practice for legal stuff. You'll access it for some
factual stuff this, and they never rely on it for
any case sites or anything like that. But when I'm
doing show prep, it'll be one of the sources I
go to, but I don't consider it authoritative. I just
combine it with other information I receive. But here's an
(23:49):
example of why I don't consider it authoritative. As I
was prepping for today on this referendum in Denver. This
is referendum three ten on whether the ban on flavored
nicotine products should continue in Denver. Here's what I found
ryan on chap GPT or maybe this came off one
(24:12):
of the other AI sources. It says Denver's ban on
flavored vape products, originally passed in December twenty twenty four,
was put on hold by voters on November four, twenty
twenty five, meaning the ban is no longer in effect.
The band would have prohibited the sale of all flavored
tobacco and nicotine products, including vape smith, all cigarettes, and
(24:33):
flavored cigars, but voters rejected referendums three ten, which would
have repealed the band. And then it goes into a timeline.
So maybe I'm just dreaming that I'm doing the show
on election day, but I'm pretty sure this is November fourth.
So how do you think AI got there? My friend
(24:53):
don't know, yees, So I think it I think it
probably it. It probably took all of the available polls
of their information out there and just got a little
ahead of itself. But yeah, we do not have any
official results yet. But what drives me crazy here, of course,
as we see the children of Colorado being harmed in
(25:16):
so many ways by legalization of marijuana, and then you
have the left come in in Colorado and say, well,
we're going to ban these flavored tobacco products, which, by
the way, kids should not have access to horrible stuff,
and it's leading a lot of kids to cigarettes. I
definitely support the sentiment behind the ban, which for most
people is protecting kids very worthy. I support that there's
(25:39):
another way to do it. I'll talk about in a second.
But so many of these same people, you know, just
full throated support for legalization of marijuana, which is doing
one hundred times the harm to the children of Colorado.
Then flavored tobacco is, and flavor tobacco is doing a
lot of harm. So why do you think and I'd
love to get your calls in text on this three
(26:00):
oh three seven one three A two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine, why do
you think that the fundamental dishonesty here on the left,
you know, wanting to ban on flavored tobacco products, putting
it in place. It's in place in Boulder, now, it's
in place in Denver, it's in place in some other
(26:21):
lefty jurisdictions in Colorado, but then fully supporting legalized marijuana. Well,
why do you think that disconnect on every level logically, analytically, morally,
why that disconnect? Three at three seven one three A
two five five text d A N five seven seven
three nine. But Ryan, for those and I understand the
(26:43):
concern that people have on the freedom front because freedom
is so per precious and we should not be infringing
on it except when we really have to. And so
when it comes to flavored vape products, there are those
who say, wait a second, we need to make sure
adults have access to flavored vape products if they want.
(27:06):
I mean, what we're talking about here, if you're not
up on this issue, is when you change the flavor
of tobacco. So this band doesn't affect anything that tastes
like tobacco. It's when you alter the taste. So it's
going to be watermelon or it's going to be orange. Now,
clearly that's aim to kids, just as big marijuana came
(27:26):
in and named these gummy bears at kids, etc. You know,
all of these, all of these drug pushers, all of
these drug pushers from the beginning of time have wanted
to hook the kids for obvious reasons. Then you've got
that market for the next sixty seventy years. So they're
going to die earlier than that because they're using the product.
But that's always the strategy of the drug dealers. Hook
(27:48):
them young, hook them forever. And it's whether they're pushing
the flavored vape, whether they're pushing the legalized marijuana. Oh yeah,
we need gummy bears, we need cookies. Oh, but there's
nothing to do with kids, right, nothing to do with
attracting and hooking kids. Yeah, yeah, drug dealers would never
lie to here, right, same thing with flavored vape. But
(28:09):
here's the thing with vape. If on the freedom front
you got adults who just really they for whatever is
and have to have watermelon flavored tobacco, fine, you can
set up a way to make that available to adults
where you're not pushing it on kids, and it's not
available to kids, and you do it there or not
(28:29):
on any kind of scale, and you do it the
same way you do with strip clubs. Ryan, you know
nothing about this, no course, and I haven't since I
got engaged. But most places zone strip clubs out into
the industrial areas. That's why you don't have these strip
clubs right on the corner.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
You can do the same thing with something like flavored vape.
You don't have to make it completely unacceptable for all
adults who want it, but you limit the outlets. The
outlets have to be out in industrial areas. And if
somebody cares so much about watermelon flavored tobacco, they can
drive out there and get it. But the kids aren't
going to see it on every street corner. It's not
going to be green lighted for kids, it's not going
(29:14):
to be accessible to kids. There's an easy fix, so
people who truly care about the kids, you can do that.
And I respect Michael Bloomberg for wanting to protect the
kids from these flavored tobacco products. I respect that, But
Mayor Bloomberg bring those millions. Let's work together, and let's
repeal Amendment sixty four, because all the harm being done
(29:35):
to kids by flavored vape It's been done a thousand
times over by legalized marijuana. You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
If you sit there with someone who says.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
Adolf Hitler was very very cool, and then their mission
is to combat and defeed.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Global jewelry, and you say nothing.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Then you were a coward and you are complicit in
that line. Ted Cruz calling out Tucker Carlson for his
interview with Nick flintis you know, the distinction in my
mind is this. I think it's absolutely fine to have
evil on a show, and I've done it myself if
(30:24):
the point is to expose and destroy that evil. So
when I have brought very bad actors on the program,
it has been to do just that, to debate them,
to engage them, to expose them and defeat them. And
I think that is the most noble use of talk radios.
(30:45):
And I never have any beef with Tucker Carlson if
he brought to Nick flintis on in order to do that,
expose him, defeat him, trying to destroy his effectiveness. But
from everything I've seen and heard, and I have not
seen the full inner at this point, I've been too busy.
But I've seen a lot of tape. Tucker didn't do that.
(31:05):
He didn't do that. It looks like he mildly challenged
him on blood libel and things like that, but it
was clear the purpose of this interview was not to
expose and destroy the Nick Fuentes and I just don't
get that. So that's Cruse going off on that, which
I think he was right to do. And then, by
(31:26):
the way, your interview of Ted Cruz is getting an
awful lot of praise out there, my friend, including among
many professionals in the business. So yeah, you'll have to
fill me in on your secrets.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I was just kind of a timing thing.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
I happened to be filling in over there on Koa
and was a day for whatever reason, that there were
some iHeart higher ups that were connected to people Ted Cruise.
And he also does a podcast that originates on iHeart,
so I think that had something to do with it.
But it was interesting at the time that it happened,
Dan was right after President Trump had authorized the use
(32:02):
of force against the nuclear sites in Iran, and it
certainly gave credence to the argument that Senator Cruz was
having with Tucker Carlson. So they had a pretty explosive exchange,
and Tucker was coming.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
At him and what's the population of Iran? Does that matter?
Does that really matter in the grand calculus? Sull No, a.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Great interview, my friend. But the question is did you
ask him the most important question, which was how he
enjoyed spending that birthday dinner with Amyan. I didn't. Oh,
he really didn't spend well with us. He was up
visiting Joe and he happen to be in the same restaurant.
We asked him if he'd stopped buying takes, but he
was so incredibly gracious, just very impressive.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yeah, his people or him, they called a little late,
so we moved some things around on the clock and
I really had to kind of crunch everything in. But
I did have occasion at the very end to ask
him because MTV was shutting down all of its music stations,
theo that would play music videos as it was originally known,
and Ted's about the same age as I am, a
(33:05):
couple of years older, and I asked him what his
all time favorite music video was.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Question.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
He said? That's a good quill. Let me think Hueie Lewis, Yeah,
Huey Lewis. Was it a Uie Lewis, Because Zuey Lewis
had two or three really good ones.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
He did Back in Time was one of them, A
couple others from the movie Back to the Future. It
was not Huey Lewis, although I am intrigued by your
guests on that one. It was Michael Jackson's thrilling.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Okay, and his.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Staff gave him kind of a cock eyed look. I
think they were probably gen Z's that didn't know what
he was talking about.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yeah, yeah, and he did not. He did not catch
Michael Jackson's hand at a concert.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
No, but I know who did.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
What are the chances, right, well, what are the chances
Michael hat he throws it like a frisbee into the crowd,
What are the chances they catch it?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
That should have been on a video.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah, oh man, Yeah, that would have been so great.
But I'd taken a client to the concert, so of course,
give it to the client. Dan says, a texture because we're,
by the way, we're talking about a referendum three to
ten in Denver, band of flavored vape products, et cetera.
And I think we need to protect the kids, and
you don't let these drug dealers pray on the kids.
Oh here's some watermelon flavored tobacco, and there's a way
(34:30):
to do it and still let adults get it. But
come on, band marijuana first, Dan, I think a good
solution would be requiring clerks who sell flavored tobacco products
to check IDs and make sure they don't sell it
to kids. Doesn't work, Thank you for the good suggestion.
Doesn't work. Fake IDs go back to pebbles and bambam
and bedrock. And the other thing is the green light effect.
(34:51):
Here's the thing. It's just like with legalized marijuanas. The
drug dealers knew it would be, and they're bought and
paid for. Politicians knew it would be. If you then
put these dope stores, you know, on every street corners
and they're way overloaded, and minority neighborhoods don't wonder why. Yeah,
drug dealers preying on people of color. That's never happened before.
But you do that, then you send the message to
(35:11):
the kiddos that hey, this is good stuff, this is okay,
this is normal. You should be doing dope. You know,
that's the message. You send, whereas with the strip club's
First Amendment, they're still legal, but most places require they
be zoned out into industrial areas so they're not right
in the kid's face. But no, the dope and the
(35:32):
flavored tobacco you got to put right in the kid's face.
Why do you think the left wants that you're on

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Better put those gloves on. The Commis are coming. This
is going to be an amazing time to be alive
as we watch the Commis come out of the closet
after Donnie's big win in New York, which we expect
to be confirmed tonight. Wow, just can't wait. Who do
you think will be the first in Colorado to come
out and worship at the altar of Mam Donnie? And
(00:36):
what kind of perfume do you think they'll try to
put on this pig? How do you think they'll try
to dress up this communism of Mam Donni? Did this
clear blatant income redistribution? To a point? Because I'm going
to coin a term here, Ryan, I've never heard it
anywhere before. We may never hear it again other than
on this show. But it captures Mamdanni, It captures all
(01:00):
of these Colorado Democratic Party socialist who you know you
can have the debate, are they really communists? Are they
really socialists? It's like the debate between being hung and shot, right,
the same difference. You're dead in the end, basically, and
that's where we're headed with this group unless we can
turn the battleship around three H three seven one three
(01:21):
A two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Not talking about physically dead. I'm talking
about being dead in terms of a growing, thriving dynamics
society promising true opportunity for all these socialists, these these commies,
they get their way, well then of course that's gone,
(01:42):
and that is what they want. But here's the term
I want to coin and the tone the term is
crony communist or crony commies has a better ring to it,
crony socialists, because that's what they really are. That's what
they really are. And you remember, it was a major
c change in the Republican Party that we've all witnessed
(02:05):
together since that Donald Trump victory in sixteen is the
revolt of the grassroots and the GOP. And thank god,
literally they did this, the revolt against crony capitalists because
the GOP and when I came to the GOP, I
was a Democrat for years, then unaffiliated, then came to
the GOP. It was still in that phase of being
(02:28):
very committed to and in bed with corporate America for
good reason, and you know, well intended, and the idea was, okay,
corporate America, freedom, job creators, all great, and it is
all great that that is great when it's done right.
But the problem was you had a lot of crony
capitalism where you had a lot of elected officials taking
(02:52):
care of their buddies, their cronies, their big donors at
the expense of the little guy. And so we've seen
the GOP grassroots push back and Donald Trump at the
tip of the spear against this crony capitalism. Well for
the betterment of America, right, because when you take a
corporation that's doing it right, that is a beautiful thing,
(03:14):
you know, creating jobs, benefiting the community, so many positives
when you get corporations and corporate citizens who are doing
it right and and it's a foundational piece of America.
And that's what we should respect, and that's what we
should appreciate, and that's what we should support legally and
(03:35):
do business with the right corporations, et cetera. You get
the bad corporations. They do an awful lot of harm.
You get the crony capitalists, where you've got the elected
official choosing winners and losers among corporations. That's what Trump
and the GOP grassroots has wisely pushed back against. But
that's what you get with the Madamis of the world
(03:56):
and these many mom Donnies in Colorado who are now
going to percolate up to the surface tomorrow. Ryan, It's
going to be like cicadas. I'm telling you, man, They've
just been waiting. They've been chattering just below the surface.
You know, if you put your ear to the ground,
you can hear them. And they've been afraid to pop
their little heads out, you know, for fear of Oh,
Colorado's not ready for us saying we're really socialist. But
(04:19):
once mo'm Donnie wins, some won't be able to help themselves.
But in the end, they're just as harmful as your
old style communist or socialist, whatever you want to call them.
They're just as harmful. But they're really phonies because they're
crony communists and they're crony socialist and you know how
(04:40):
they prove it. My friend and this is a great
way to start the show has given everybody maybe what's
going to become your favorite parlor trick over Thanksgiving, Christmas
into the new year as this big surge toward socialism
in the Democratic Party begins to gain after the New
(05:00):
York results tonight. And that is you can just dissect people,
expose people in a second. Okay, whether you're talking to
one of the socialists themselves, like a Colorado politician, or
you're talking to mom Donnie, or you're talking to just
somebody at dinner who supports all that, ask him one question.
(05:21):
Does fill in the blank start with Mandanni? Does fill
in the blank support vouchers, educational vouchers, true school choice,
support allowing that poor child, whether that child is white
or black or brown, that poor child who's going to
be destined to a failing government runs school that does
(05:41):
Mom Donnie fill in black? Polist hicken Looper Bennett, do
they support true school choice? And what's the answer going
to be? The answer is going to be what this
turkey is a little raw, right, But the truth is
they don't because their crony commis they're crony socialists, they're
(06:01):
phony communists. I mean, they've got all the deadly stuff
of communism and socialism because they're all based around deft,
they're all based around income redistribution, taking what you work
hard for and giving it to somebody else. But they're
crony comies because when it comes to that poor kid,
oh no, no, no no, they're not going to give that
(06:23):
kid an equal opportunity and education so that kid can
then go out and compete and prosper on her own
and earn her own way. That's the last thing in
the world they're going to do because that kind of
economic equality would take off the teachers' union, which the
Democratic Party is totally dependent on. So in the end,
(06:43):
they don't care about people. They don't care about little kids,
they don't care about the weekend defenses, they don't care
about the poor, they don't care about minorities. You know,
they are just power mad socialist, communist somewhere in between.
But their power mad people who want central control and
they want to fundamentally transform in America in a way
(07:05):
that has never worked anywhere in the world. But don't
you think rian that just fully exposes them. If we
could have Mondanni on the show the very first question
I'd ask him. If I could only have one, this
would be the one is, Hey, do you support vouchers?
True school choice, pure school choice? You give that poor parent,
you give that middle income parent. Okay, here's the cash
(07:26):
equivalent of that, you know, twelve thirteen thousand dollars per kid.
Family can take it and go spend it at any
school they want to, public or private. His answer is
going to be no, and he's going to be completely exposed.
So this is going to be fun. Ryan, what's your bet?
Who is going to be the first of the Colorado
(07:48):
Kami cicadas or socialist cicadas to pop their little head
above ground tomorrow and just be all a glow in
the mom Donnie Victory.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, I don't think it'll be Bennett.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
He's trying to run far and fast from this sort
of thing and ostensibly present himself as a moderate, So
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It'll be him.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But he's gonna kiss the ring. It's gonna be so
fun to see how he tries to kiss Mam Donnie's posterior.
That is going to be hilarious to see. Right, You're
gonna get some like wiser. Wiser is just gonna go
straight to it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Why Wiser is is going to want to make a
show of kissing Mam Donnie's behind because Wiser wants to
outflank Bennett on the left. It's his only chance. That's
where the energy is with with you know, the socialist
left in Colorado. And uh but but Bennett's gonna have
(08:50):
to kiss the ring, gonna have to bend the knag,
gonna have to show his respects. But in a mellily
mouths kind of way. So what form does that take?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It would have to be some kind of passive acknowledgement.
There's a lot of energy, you know, on the left
of the party, and we have to come together. I
think I gonna hear that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So that's beautifully done. And then what about Hickenlooper, because
he's still got to be concerned about a challenge on
the left. If the Dems had enough talent, I mean,
they've got a lot of these want to be commies
and socialists, but I don't know if any of the
young energetic ones is talented enough to challenge him from
(09:28):
the left. But if they could get the right person,
meaning like I mo'm Donnie, you know, articulate somebody who
looks good, somebody who can be a blank slate. People
can just kind of imagine they're whatever they want him
or her to be. But I don't. I can't think
of anybody like that on the bench. The best they
(09:48):
got is Jonah Goose, and Jonah Goose, I think is
already locked up by Bennett just kind of begging at
this point for the appointment to the US Senate. Shoud
been at win. Yeah, well, one way or the other,
it's going to be fun. So I love your thoughts
on that. Okay, which which of these Colorado lefties is
just going to be full on all out commie slash
(10:10):
socialist whatever you want to call it. Much more to
talk about on the show today. We'll get the decision
tonight from the voters, but I do want to talk
about this ban on flavored fape products in Michael Bloomberg
coming in and spending now five million to try to
back the ban, and the profoundly dishonest hypocrisy of the
Denversity Council pushing this ban, pushing this ban when it
(10:35):
fully supports legalized marijuana. So okay, kids, yeah, no no
flavored tobacco for you, which by the way. Kids shouldn't
have that, And there's a way to accomplish it that
I want to talk about when we Quebec but Denversity Council. Yeah,
no flavored tobacco for you kids, but.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Hey, go get stoned, have at it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
If you've looked back and some of the things that
that you thought at the time, maybe you said at
the time that the United States would be greated as
liberators for example, if you think looking back, that might
have raised expectations for the American people about what to
expect in Iraq that maybe weren't met.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
I think on Irock, we got the big, big issues right.
I think when all I said and done, from the
perspective of history, the vast majority of the Iraqi people
grateful for what we did. Far better to have their
democracy that's now in place rather than Saddam. We'm saying, really,
and the world's a far safer place because of what
we did.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Dick Cheney, God rest his soul. And you know what
a sad end I mean. Dick Cheney served America well
in certain ways, and no matter who we were talking
about passing away today, you know, I'd be you know,
saying God rest their soul. We all want more mercy
than justice in the end for ourselves. But at the
(12:02):
same time, what I see with Dick Cheney, Ryan is
something I've seen with some other really prominent conservatives who
devoted their lives to the cause and did a ton
of great work on behalf of conservative causes. I'm thinking
of George will as one example here among many Dick
(12:22):
Cheney and others who then and that doesn't mean they
got everything right, but I'm just talking about commitment over
all the conservatism in effect. But then they got into
a personal battle with Donald Trump, and at that point,
their personal battle with Trump became more important than the
causes they had spent their life fighting for. Bill Crystal's
(12:46):
another example. You know, people we've had on the show,
never had Dick Cheney on the show. He was Amy's
first big interview, and she did a great job, fantastic job,
and then found out afterward the photo journalist had forgotten
the film in the camera. She did a tremendous job. Anyway,
point b Yeah, the point being that's that's been kind
(13:08):
of a once in a lifetime phenomena that we've seen
in a sad one, a very sad one. Now, hey,
what do you think? What do you think that both
of us we see Trump as a historical figure, his voters,
and Trump saved American democracy in twenty sixteen for the
reasons we've discussed, and now we're into what is probably
going to be one of the great presidential terms in
American history. But being real about it, if Trump went
(13:33):
after you personally or me personally, the way that he
went after any of those other individuals, do you think
you'd be able to put your ego aside and just
stay out of that urinating match in order to continue
to support the causes or would you be like so
many of these others who ended up saying, no, you
(13:54):
got to vote for Hillary Clinton, or you got to
vote for Joe Biden. And of course, a vote for
Clinton Biden is a vote against all of the most
important conservative principles that we've fought for for so long.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, absolutely, I'd be able to set that aside, Dan,
because it wouldn't be about me.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
And I think you view the world this way too.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
It's not about me personally, it's about what's best for
the country. What is the best set of policies. This
is where I can't even wrap my head around it.
A guy that I actually like, who I know that
you know a bit, and he's from Chicago, Illinois, and
he's a former Republican representative in Congress, Joe Wall.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
She's been on with you not that long ago. I
like him.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I'm texted back and forth. We follow each other on X.
I message him from time to time. But this guy's
lost his mind when it comes to Trump. And he's
far from the only one, like you pointed out Bill Crystal,
George Will, Dick Cheney. And the thing is, you can't
abandon your principles just because your butt hurt over something
a guy said about you, like Donald Trump. And and
further to that point, Dan, real quick, if the Democratic
(14:52):
Party had stayed, let's say, in the same realm as
where Bill Clinton had the party when he led it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Okay, that's one thing.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
This is a radical left party that has no bearing
or resemblance to the Democratic Party of the nineties. And
there's nothing about it that any self respecting conservative, no matter.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
How they feel about Donald Trump. And go you know
what Kamala is. Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
There's nothing about Kamala Harris that was okay for any conservative.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
A thousand percent, thousand percent. All I'm saying is, and
I'm not way because they abandoned these life and death issues,
you know, in order to pursue their battle with Trump
and try to get back at him. Yeah, you can't
excuse that. I'm just saying, if he came after you
or he came after me, would we really be able
(15:41):
to have the discipline act differently? I would hope. So yeah,
hope we never find out. I doubt we will ever.
I would show up on the President's radar in any
kind of negative way, but I think you'd actually way, Yeah,
change was one of those.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I think you'd actually and I know I would. You'd
have fun with it, you know, you just kind of,
you know, rush it off. It's Donald Trump being Donald Trump,
and then you move on with your life. But you're
exactly right. Cheney took it very personally. I think from
a family standpoint, if that Donald Trump went after his
daughter Liz, and I don't blame him necessarily for that, and.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
After him, I think he went after Cheney as well. Listen, right,
and in the end, I am extraordinarily confident ninety nine
point nine nine nine ninety nine percent confident I would
not abandon my commitment to those core issues over something
like a personal battle with somebody else, even if it
was the President. I don't mean to do a holier
(16:34):
than now thing. I just know myself and for me,
that fundamental, foundational core issue is life. And like the
vast majority of pro lifers out there, in ways large
or small, you pay a price for being pro life.
You pay a price for being pro life. You know,
the people you save are are never going to come
(16:57):
back and thank you. They're never going to know you
save them. But you've got the full force of media academia,
you've got the full force of the leftist establishment. You
know how to harm you when you stand up for
innocent life. So it's one of the beautiful things about
the pro life community. It's as periods you get because
there's nothing in it for the pro lifers other than
(17:19):
doing the right thing and saving innocent life. So, like
most pro lifers, you know, I've already paid enough of
a price for that that I'm very confident that I
would stay true to that in the end. And it's
one reason why I'm so disappointed and these very prominent
conservatives who decided to abandon that issue. Oh yeah, go
vote for Hillary, go to vote for Kamala just because
(17:41):
they're in a piss and match with Donald Trump. Right, yeah, hey, Textures,
We've got so much going on this afternoon. I'm glad
this texter popped up because it leads to a topic
I'm going to jump on after the break, Dan, the
marijuana stores can sell cherry flavored gummy bears full of
high potent marijuana, but they can't sell a great flavored cigar.
That's liberal logic for you. That's liberal dishonesty for you.
(18:04):
And that's when we talk about this vote today in
Denver on the flavored tobacco band and listen, I don't
think kids in Colorado should have access to flavored nicotine products.
It's crazy. It's crazy for society to allow that to happen.
When we come back, I'll talk about a way we
can accomplish that and still protect freedom. But you think
(18:27):
of the dishonesty of the left wanting to ban the
sale of that while fully full throated supporting you know,
more dope stores on street corners than you have Starbucks
and McDonald's combined. Yeah, that's just dishonesty. They don't care
about the kids. I do.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
It's just a vile creature, the worst thing on the
face of the earth.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
But my way, you think he's the worst thing on
the face of the earth. Yeah, why is that?
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Because he's the President of the United States and he
does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact,
he's turned the Supreme Court into a row court, he's
abolished the House of Representatives.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Well, he's just broken her. He's just flat broken her. Remarkable,
Nancy Pelosi. I don't think it's any coincidence that she's
expected to announce her retirement tomorrow. And I mean she'll
serve out the rest of the term, of course, but yeah, remarkable.
He just flat broke her. And if you watch that video,
(19:40):
and that's a good thing, that's a very very positive thing,
because she's been living a lie, like all of these
elected Democrats that I'm aware of anyway, have been living
a lie. She's out there saying I'm a Catholic. Vote
for me. I'm a Catholic vote for me, and then
uses her immense power to undermine the the fundamental core
(20:01):
teaching of the church. She uses her immense power to
allow the legal killing of as many children as possible.
Before burst, she's been living this big line. That's one example, foundational,
but one example. So it's great that Trump has broken her.
Trump one of the lasting gifts of Trump has been
(20:22):
the way that he's exposed so many in high positions,
including me, the son of a thirty year cop who's
my hero best man at my wedding now in heaven.
I could have never imagined corrupt law enforcement at the
highest levels, but then Trump exposed COMI and the rod
at the top of the FBI. No reflection on the
(20:44):
great agents who are out there risking their lives every
day for us, but another service of his. He just
flat broke celosely. And if you get a chance when
you get home to google up that video, do you
see that video, Ryan, which one the video of that
bite of her. What you'll see is she's just small
and shriveled and snarling when she talks about a vile creature.
(21:08):
I mean he has broken her because he exposed her,
and he defeated her, and he defeated her whole machine,
and he defeated Barack Obama, and he had defeated that
entire apparatus, and he defeated their corruption of our criminal
justice system. He defeated them all, and that is a
lasting gift to us. So anyway, she's on her way out,
(21:32):
Good riddance. Three or three seven one three eight two
five five text d an five seven seven three nine.
So much going on this afternoon. Of course, once we
start to get any election results, we won't from Colorado,
but any election results nationally, I'll let you know, though
I don't think any of us are expecting any surprises nationally.
(21:53):
We opened the show talking about this great gift to
conservatives and Republicans by Extension America that will get tonight
when New York elects this communist mayor. And then we
have the little Kami cicadas in Colorado just so full
of ecstasy that they actually come out of the Kami
closet and tomorrow start kissing the ring and body parts
(22:16):
of Mamdani. And that's going to be fun to watch,
because Colorado ain't there. If you think I'm wrong, three
or three seven one three eight two five five text
d an five seven seven three nine. That is not Colorado.
Colorado is not socialist. Colorado is not communist. You know,
Colorado right now has a very dim view of the
Republican Party in Colorado and Republican candidates, but it is
(22:40):
in no way, shape or form look at the vote
on ballot issues. But we've got a lot of elected
officials who at their core support socialist type policies, and
and you've got many in the Democratic Party in power
who actually supports socialism. So it'll be fun to see this,
this race to kiss the behind of Mom Donnie tomorrow
(23:04):
unfold among Colorado politicians. So one of the things we've
been talking about, by the way, is this band that's
on the ballot today in Denver, this ban of flavored
nicotine products. And I just wanted to read you something funny.
Let me pull it up here because I was doing
my show research and I routinely used chap GPT in
(23:25):
my show research. We never rely on it in our
law practice for legal stuff. You'll access it for some
factual stuff this, and they never rely on it for
any case sites or anything like that. But when I'm
doing show prep, it'll be one of the sources I
go to, but I don't consider it authoritative. I just
combine it with other information I receive. But here's an
(23:49):
example of why I don't consider it authoritative. As I
was prepping for today on this referendum in Denver. This
is referendum three ten on whether the ban on flavored
nicotine products should continue in Denver. Here's what I found
ryan on chap GPT or maybe this came off one
(24:12):
of the other AI sources. It says Denver's ban on
flavored vape products, originally passed in December twenty twenty four,
was put on hold by voters on November four, twenty
twenty five, meaning the ban is no longer in effect.
The band would have prohibited the sale of all flavored
tobacco and nicotine products, including vape smith, all cigarettes, and
(24:33):
flavored cigars, but voters rejected referendums three ten, which would
have repealed the band. And then it goes into a timeline.
So maybe I'm just dreaming that I'm doing the show
on election day, but I'm pretty sure this is November fourth.
So how do you think AI got there? My friend
(24:53):
don't know, yees, So I think it I think it
probably it. It probably took all of the available polls
of their information out there and just got a little
ahead of itself. But yeah, we do not have any
official results yet. But what drives me crazy here, of course,
as we see the children of Colorado being harmed in
(25:16):
so many ways by legalization of marijuana, and then you
have the left come in in Colorado and say, well,
we're going to ban these flavored tobacco products, which, by
the way, kids should not have access to horrible stuff,
and it's leading a lot of kids to cigarettes. I
definitely support the sentiment behind the ban, which for most
people is protecting kids very worthy. I support that there's
(25:39):
another way to do it. I'll talk about in a second.
But so many of these same people, you know, just
full throated support for legalization of marijuana, which is doing
one hundred times the harm to the children of Colorado.
Then flavored tobacco is, and flavor tobacco is doing a
lot of harm. So why do you think and I'd
love to get your calls in text on this three
(26:00):
oh three seven one three A two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine, why do
you think that the fundamental dishonesty here on the left,
you know, wanting to ban on flavored tobacco products, putting
it in place. It's in place in Boulder, now, it's
in place in Denver, it's in place in some other
(26:21):
lefty jurisdictions in Colorado, but then fully supporting legalized marijuana. Well,
why do you think that disconnect on every level logically, analytically, morally,
why that disconnect? Three at three seven one three A
two five five text d A N five seven seven
three nine. But Ryan, for those and I understand the
(26:43):
concern that people have on the freedom front because freedom
is so per precious and we should not be infringing
on it except when we really have to. And so
when it comes to flavored vape products, there are those
who say, wait a second, we need to make sure
adults have access to flavored vape products if they want.
(27:06):
I mean, what we're talking about here, if you're not
up on this issue, is when you change the flavor
of tobacco. So this band doesn't affect anything that tastes
like tobacco. It's when you alter the taste. So it's
going to be watermelon or it's going to be orange. Now,
clearly that's aim to kids, just as big marijuana came
(27:26):
in and named these gummy bears at kids, etc. You know,
all of these, all of these drug pushers, all of
these drug pushers from the beginning of time have wanted
to hook the kids for obvious reasons. Then you've got
that market for the next sixty seventy years. So they're
going to die earlier than that because they're using the product.
But that's always the strategy of the drug dealers. Hook
(27:48):
them young, hook them forever. And it's whether they're pushing
the flavored vape, whether they're pushing the legalized marijuana. Oh yeah,
we need gummy bears, we need cookies. Oh, but there's
nothing to do with kids, right, nothing to do with
attracting and hooking kids. Yeah, yeah, drug dealers would never
lie to here, right, same thing with flavored vape. But
(28:09):
here's the thing with vape. If on the freedom front
you got adults who just really they for whatever is
and have to have watermelon flavored tobacco, fine, you can
set up a way to make that available to adults
where you're not pushing it on kids, and it's not
available to kids, and you do it there or not
(28:29):
on any kind of scale, and you do it the
same way you do with strip clubs. Ryan, you know
nothing about this, no course, and I haven't since I
got engaged. But most places zone strip clubs out into
the industrial areas. That's why you don't have these strip
clubs right on the corner.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
You can do the same thing with something like flavored vape.
You don't have to make it completely unacceptable for all
adults who want it, but you limit the outlets. The
outlets have to be out in industrial areas. And if
somebody cares so much about watermelon flavored tobacco, they can
drive out there and get it. But the kids aren't
going to see it on every street corner. It's not
going to be green lighted for kids, it's not going
(29:14):
to be accessible to kids. There's an easy fix, so
people who truly care about the kids, you can do that.
And I respect Michael Bloomberg for wanting to protect the
kids from these flavored tobacco products. I respect that, But
Mayor Bloomberg bring those millions. Let's work together, and let's
repeal Amendment sixty four, because all the harm being done
(29:35):
to kids by flavored vape It's been done a thousand
times over by legalized marijuana. You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
If you sit there with someone who says.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
Adolf Hitler was very very cool, and then their mission
is to combat and defeed.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Global jewelry, and you say nothing.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Then you were a coward and you are complicit in
that line. Ted Cruz calling out Tucker Carlson for his
interview with Nick flintis you know, the distinction in my
mind is this. I think it's absolutely fine to have
evil on a show, and I've done it myself if
(30:24):
the point is to expose and destroy that evil. So
when I have brought very bad actors on the program,
it has been to do just that, to debate them,
to engage them, to expose them and defeat them. And
I think that is the most noble use of talk radios.
(30:45):
And I never have any beef with Tucker Carlson if
he brought to Nick flintis on in order to do that,
expose him, defeat him, trying to destroy his effectiveness. But
from everything I've seen and heard, and I have not
seen the full inner at this point, I've been too busy.
But I've seen a lot of tape. Tucker didn't do that.
(31:05):
He didn't do that. It looks like he mildly challenged
him on blood libel and things like that, but it
was clear the purpose of this interview was not to
expose and destroy the Nick Fuentes and I just don't
get that. So that's Cruse going off on that, which
I think he was right to do. And then, by
(31:26):
the way, your interview of Ted Cruz is getting an
awful lot of praise out there, my friend, including among
many professionals in the business. So yeah, you'll have to
fill me in on your secrets.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I was just kind of a timing thing.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
I happened to be filling in over there on Koa
and was a day for whatever reason, that there were
some iHeart higher ups that were connected to people Ted Cruise.
And he also does a podcast that originates on iHeart,
so I think that had something to do with it.
But it was interesting at the time that it happened,
Dan was right after President Trump had authorized the use
(32:02):
of force against the nuclear sites in Iran, and it
certainly gave credence to the argument that Senator Cruz was
having with Tucker Carlson. So they had a pretty explosive exchange,
and Tucker was coming.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
At him and what's the population of Iran? Does that matter?
Does that really matter in the grand calculus? Sull No, a.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Great interview, my friend. But the question is did you
ask him the most important question, which was how he
enjoyed spending that birthday dinner with Amyan. I didn't. Oh,
he really didn't spend well with us. He was up
visiting Joe and he happen to be in the same restaurant.
We asked him if he'd stopped buying takes, but he
was so incredibly gracious, just very impressive.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yeah, his people or him, they called a little late,
so we moved some things around on the clock and
I really had to kind of crunch everything in. But
I did have occasion at the very end to ask
him because MTV was shutting down all of its music stations,
theo that would play music videos as it was originally known,
and Ted's about the same age as I am, a
(33:05):
couple of years older, and I asked him what his
all time favorite music video was.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Question.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
He said? That's a good quill. Let me think Hueie Lewis, Yeah,
Huey Lewis. Was it a Uie Lewis, Because Zuey Lewis
had two or three really good ones.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
He did Back in Time was one of them, A
couple others from the movie Back to the Future. It
was not Huey Lewis, although I am intrigued by your
guests on that one. It was Michael Jackson's thrilling.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Okay, and his.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Staff gave him kind of a cock eyed look. I
think they were probably gen Z's that didn't know what
he was talking about.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yeah, yeah, and he did not. He did not catch
Michael Jackson's hand at a concert.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
No, but I know who did.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
What are the chances, right, well, what are the chances
Michael hat he throws it like a frisbee into the crowd,
What are the chances they catch it?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
That should have been on a video.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah, oh man, Yeah, that would have been so great.
But I'd taken a client to the concert, so of course,
give it to the client. Dan says, a texture because we're,
by the way, we're talking about a referendum three to
ten in Denver, band of flavored vape products, et cetera.
And I think we need to protect the kids, and
you don't let these drug dealers pray on the kids.
Oh here's some watermelon flavored tobacco, and there's a way
(34:30):
to do it and still let adults get it. But
come on, band marijuana first, Dan, I think a good
solution would be requiring clerks who sell flavored tobacco products
to check IDs and make sure they don't sell it
to kids. Doesn't work, Thank you for the good suggestion.
Doesn't work. Fake IDs go back to pebbles and bambam
and bedrock. And the other thing is the green light effect.
(34:51):
Here's the thing. It's just like with legalized marijuanas. The
drug dealers knew it would be, and they're bought and
paid for. Politicians knew it would be. If you then
put these dope stores, you know, on every street corners
and they're way overloaded, and minority neighborhoods don't wonder why. Yeah,
drug dealers preying on people of color. That's never happened before.
But you do that, then you send the message to
(35:11):
the kiddos that hey, this is good stuff, this is okay,
this is normal. You should be doing dope. You know,
that's the message. You send, whereas with the strip club's
First Amendment, they're still legal, but most places require they
be zoned out into industrial areas so they're not right
in the kid's face. But no, the dope and the
(35:32):
flavored tobacco you got to put right in the kid's face.
Why do you think the left wants that you're on
