Trump claims he won't buy bacon because it's too expensive; Jeff Hurd on his CO-3 primary race culminating Tuesday

Donald Trump claims in a stump speech, to humorous effect, that Melania won't allow him to buy bacon anymore because it's gotten too expensive.

Jeff Hurd joins Dan with a final update on his race to replace Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District against state GOP-endorsed Ron Hanks and Pueblo Republican Stephen Varela. The primary will be decided Tuesday night, with Ryan providing live coverage on 630 KHOW after Dan's show.

single day on your favorite podcast platform. New development. Trump says Biden gonna
get quote unquote jacked up, wantsa drug test, and oh man,

(00:24):
can't wait till Thursday. Glad you'rehere. We have some very specific questions
for you that you've probably not heardasked anywhere else or even pondered. And
we'll start with this one. I'llget to a couple of text responds.
A lot going on right here inDenver I want to cover with you as
well, including a message that wentto a lot of people working downtown reportedly

(00:45):
today in downtown Denver. Get yourreaction to that. But here's the thing.
I don't think we're going to seethis, but if we have one
of these moments on Thursday night whereBiden freezes up as we've seen recently in
public, and Ors starts to thebaby talk gibbers yaba daba do gabba gaba
kind of stuff, what should PresidentTrump do? Should he press his advantage

(01:11):
understanding his mic will be muted atthe time, but he's still standing just
feet away from Biden, so Bidencould hear him, and you know,
the audience would hear something if thathappens. Does Trump have an obligation to
the American people to stress test Bidenin that situation to see if he's capable
of serving as president? I thinkit's clear he's not. But should Trump
say something along the lines of,you know, see Jasey, Dana,

(01:34):
this is what I'm talking about.It's not personal, no, no offense
intended, but this man's not physicallyand mentally capable of being president. Should
he stress test Biden that way realtime? Because when we've seen these other
sad moments where Biden's going through this, Biden's been in a protected bubble.
I'm not talking about being cruel atall. I'm talking about does Trump have

(01:57):
that obligation to the American people?Should he do that? Or we have
textures and I imagine this this isprobably the majority, like the ninety eight
percent majority of you, Dan,Trump wins with compassion first time? Are
you okay? Ensuing times? Shouldwe continue? Jake that from VC?
Dan like that? Dan say nothingat all, Say nothing, then it's

(02:20):
all about Joe. Trump should saynothing that will give the left something to
attack, just let it soak in. That from daw Dan, should Biden
start babbling? I believe Trump's effectiveresponse would be when they turn his mic
on, merely look over at Biden, look back at the camera with the
Rye look and pause and say nothing. That from Michael Dan says a text
to Da n five seven seven threenine. What if Biden freezes and Trump's

(02:44):
help Biden sit down or get histhoughts straight. Trump could say it's not
right to put Biden through the debate, Dan, when he has that moment,
state, ladies and gentlemen, thisis what the world and our enemies
are seeing around the world. Doyou not see the embarrassment and danger in
this? Dan? Trump simply needsto say. I can't respond to that.
I couldn't understand what he said.Mike in Henderson, Dan, no

(03:07):
way should Trump distract away from Biden'sblunders. That from Patty Ryan, it
appears to be unanimous, and Iwould agree. I would agree. I
think the question needs to be posedbecause I think you can make a legitimate
argument in favor of stress testing inreal time. I think that Trump should

(03:29):
not do that for two different reasons. One is, you know, politically
it's so important that he win.There's too much risk of backfire in that.
And given you know Trump's out theirpersonality in the past, it could
look like just cruelty for cruelty's sake. You know, maybe a Reagan could
get away with that or somebody likethat. But no, I am firmly

(03:50):
with our texters and I agree thatthat should be the approach. If that
happens again, I don't think it'sgoing to happen because historically they've been able
to get Biden much better expected onoccasion they're gonna jack them in and they've
rested him up for seventy Ay,I would bet there's some I'm not suggesting
anything illegal or improper, but Iwould bet there's some kind of medicinal involvement

(04:10):
here, vitamin B twelve at orall, I mean, all legal compounds.
But yeah, they're gonna he's hispupils will be dilated. I would
bet money on that. I thinkyou might be able to get a Vegas
prop bet on that. But Ithink overall the theme of the night,
if I'm sitting down with DJT andtrying to advise him less is more.
He doesn't really have to do anything. Biden needs to lose this debate.

(04:31):
I don't think it's incumbent upon Trumpto win it, to have to go
aggressive, to play a lot ofoffense. He's got a record. Just
defer to that point at Joe Biden, compare the four years were you better
off under me or under him?That's it. And then if he happens
to stumble and bumble, which Istill think he will, just contrast that
with your own vision and clear speakingand say, yeah, and you made

(04:54):
this point very well, Dan,like this is what the rest of the
world's looking at and why we areweak. Yeah, and make that point.
Yeah. And I think what's importantto keep in mind is that Biden
is irrelevant to Thursday Night. Unlesshe is one of those very sad total
freeze ups, then it's all aboutBiden because he's just done sooner than he
otherwise would be. But other thanthat, he's irrelevant. He's a stage

(05:15):
prop on Thursday Night. This isabout people sizing up whether Trump still has
it, whether Trump's still sharp enough, whether Trump has self control. This
is about people sizing up Trump,because everybody knows they lived it. They
don't need commercials to tell him.They know the nation was better under Trump,
Their life was better under Trump.They know that already. So Thursday

(05:38):
Night is all about sizing up Trump. So true. And a further point
along those lines, Dan, whois Donald Trump speaking to him in this
debate? It's not his base,and it's not the far left that hates
him. It's that narrow middle,that sliver. Maybe they were Trump voters
in twenty sixteen, they voted forBiden and twenty they have Biden remorse,
or those center left people who areabsolutely sick of Biden and the far left

(06:00):
agenda, and they want to giveTrump a chance. But he's got to
give them a reason. And thereason would be I feel okay with Donald
Trump in charge. He's not amaniac, he's not a wild man.
I feel safe and secure, andI would like that back. He's got
to make that case. Wait,we all know who he's talking to Thursday
night, which is why this isthe election, Because he's talking to a
bunch of people who don't like him, want to vote for him anyway out

(06:25):
of self interest, but they needto make sure he isn't nuts. Correct.
That's what Thursday Night is all about, talking to the people who are
trying to figure out if you're nuts. Now. I know he's not nuts.
You know he's not nuts, Butwe pay attention to this stuff all
the time. Do you got alot of really good people out there with
really busy lives who hate this stuffand they hate the negativity, they hate

(06:46):
the toxicity. They don't want tohear it, they don't want to be
bothered by it. But they're gonnawatch Thursday Night to see if he's nuts,
and if he's not nuts, they'regoing to vote for him whether they
hate him or not. If hecan rise above. I think he's got
this in him too, Dan.This has been my frustration with Trump.
He can be a uniter, hecan make people feel like we're coming together.
He's got to give that unifying messagethat he's on your side. And

(07:09):
by you, I mean the personthat's watching that's having those doubts that you're
talking about that they feel, youknow what, this guy. I might
not like him a lot, buthe's on my side. He's gonna fight
for me. But here's the here'sthe only real challenge Thursday Night. Right,
Trump is human. He is human, and sometimes he shows this superhuman
strength, but he's human, andhe's going to be standing across the stage

(07:30):
from a jealous little man who hastried to put him in jail and is
still trying to put him in jail. And unless you're the good Lord himself,
that's it's going to be very hardin that moment not to take some
shots. It's true. So that'sthat's gonna be the biggest test. Trump
has all that, the substance onhis side. Right, every he had

(07:51):
the presidency, it was great.Biden'said the presidency, it's terrible. Trump
has a substance. This is aboutself control and do what he has to
do to show the doubters that he'snot nuts. Justin and Lyttleton, you're
on the Dan Caplis Show. WelcomeAdam. People kind of annoy me recently.

(08:11):
They always take the personalities in theplay. I know you have to
politics as an individual game. Youwant for a person, not a philosophy.
But we need to make it aboutthe policies, shows interchangeable you yourself.
I disagree with this. Have predictedthat he'll drop out, right,
I said, he won't be thenominee. Well, what it could happen

(08:33):
different ways? Seventy five percent chancehe will be. In my opinion,
nobody can predict the future, andeven thefarious means tomahawk. I was thinking,
cif well, whatever happens, wehave to make it about his policies,
right If how you do that?If you want to take a classroom

(08:58):
clinical approach, you'll put it.Everybody's asleep. If you want to say,
hey, were you better off whenI was president? Or well he's
president? Gets interesting, Well youhave to say he's president, his ideas
failed. Why does everything cost thirtypercent more? Why are we in foreign
policy quagmire that we are? Whyare we having the worst races of the

(09:20):
southern border. It's Joe Biden andJoe Biden's party. You have to go
with the whole thing. You can'tjust isolate it to him, because then
what are we doing twenty twenty eight. Yeah, you go after an individual,
or we go after a philosophy.It's got to be the philosophy.
Justin appreciates the very intelligent call,thank you. The other point that needs
to be made and again short tothe point, that's where you get your
power is vote for me is avote for peace. A vote for him

(09:45):
is a vote for war. Myterm piece, his term war. Drop
the mic. You're on the DanCampla Show and now back to the Dan
Taplas Show podcast. Trump speaks alot of truth. Sure, this is
the part of that. Even Iwon't buy bacon anymore, it's too expensive.

(10:07):
I said, I'd love to havesome lovely bacon, Darling, and
she said, no, I'm sorryto expense them. So I think that
may have been artistic license right there. Right. But Trump, which which
is as we're talking more about Thursdaynight, which is another big question.
Listen, the man is an entertainer. A huge part of his success has

(10:31):
been entertaining, and clearly he hasrejected the advice well intentioned, but the
advice that he just prepare in amore traditional way for this debate. You
know, he's out there, he'sat rallies, he's among the people,
and and hey, that's what worksfor him. That's beautiful. And again
to see these crowds and everything elsecould really matter on election night in Pennsylvania,

(10:52):
his time in Philly, but that'show he gets energized. Ryan,
I don't think it would be onlypossible. And I'm not suggesting that that
you would want to take the entertainerout of Trump for Thursday Night. I
have one anecdote he could share whichwould be accurate as opposed to the Bacon
story. We know that despite hisexpensive lifestyle, he loves Big Max at

(11:15):
McDonald's. And what do you coulddo? You know, I love Big
Max. Okay, maybe a littletoo much, but and compare the price
of what they went two dollars andseventy five cents when I took off us
and now they're five dollars and seventynine cents, you know, something like
that, and some of his besthumor spontaneous for all of us that carry
some risk. Hey, I wantto get to another really important dynamic four

(11:35):
Thursday night. Okay, and andyou know, go out on a limb
here, great peril to myself.But I want to predict right now,
five twenty three thirty three on Mondaythe twenty fourth, that what we're going
to be talking about on Friday,gonna hear so many people calling the show,
texting and saying, hey Dan,boy, I thought Jake Tapper and

(11:56):
Dana Bash were really fair. HeyDan, I was surprised at olfair Tapper
and Bash were I think we're goingto hear a lot of that on Friday.
I'll tell you in a second whythis plays into it here, and
listen. I understand they're Trump haters, right, They've made that clear in
a thousand different ways. We've beenplaying that sound today. They're both Trump
haters, they both want him defeated. But I still think they're going to

(12:18):
end up being much more fair thanpeople expect. But let's start with this
sound. This is Cassie Hunt onCNN, and her politics are opposite mine,
but she normally does a pretty finejob as anchor given that, but
she really hurt herself and the networkwith this. As Trump's press secretary is
trying to say, you know,Tapper and Bash are really biased against Donald

(12:41):
Trump, which seems a relevant observationon the eve of the debate. She
cuts her off and ends the segment. It's like journalism malpractice. So he's
basically saying, there, well,will I let Joe Biden win? It
does seem as though many Republicans haveset the bar very low in terms of
arguing that Joe Biden is basically asenile. Now you have people like Doug

(13:05):
Bergham coming out and saying, well, President Biden's very accomplished, trying to
set expectations in a different place.What do you expect from Joe Biden.
Well, first of all, it'sso it takes someone five minutes to google
Jake Tapper Donald Trump to see theJake Tapper head, ma'am, can interview
ifeade filter, ma'am. I'm goingto stop. If you're statium to attack

(13:26):
my colleagues, I would like totalk about you and Donald Trump, who
you work for, if you arehere to speak on his behalf and I
will have this conversation. I amstating facts that your colleagues have stated in
the past. Now I'm sorry.We're going to come back to Caroline.
Thank you very much for your time. You are welcome to come back at
any point. She is welcome tocome back and speak Sean Trump, and

(13:48):
that's what you want whole time toJoe Biden when they both join us now
at next early later this week inAtlanta. For this Lord, thanks to
Caroline. That's one of the worstthings I've ever seen in broadcasting, let
alone journalist. And that's the oppositeof anything anybody could call journalism and to
come from Cassie Hunt too again isa lefty but normally has a much more

(14:09):
professional effect. But think about whatthat just confirms for the world, for
those who rightfully sit there and say, wait a second, the moderators are
two people who hate Trump and wantthem to lose. She just confirmed that
Trump's press secretary couldn't even raise fairconcerns about the moderators. They censored her
and ended the segment. Ryan,My point is everybody can agree that's horrible,

(14:31):
right, That's not my point.My point is that this is one
more reason to be certain that Tapperand Bash are going to be much more
fair than expected. Because they knowthey're on record as Trump haters, they
know this just happened. They're goingto feel for their own selfish interest as
if they have to bend over backwardsto show that they're being fair. But

(14:52):
here's what to watch for. Notso much their questions, because the initial
question is totally meaningless, completely irrelevant. You could ask Biden ten of the
toughest questions imaginable, and there area thousand, and it wouldn't matter at
all, because if you just lethim avoid the question, the question doesn't
matter. The key is in thefollow up questions. And this you can

(15:13):
take to the bank right now andyou can deposit it at Wells Fargo.
And that is they are going toask Trump the tough follow up questions as
they should. Will they ask Bidenthe tough follow up questions as they should?
That's where the real test is.It's in the follow ups. Here's
the key. You have heard thisnowhere before other than from me, and

(15:35):
that is the reason. You canbe very confident that Tapper and Bash will
be much more balanced. They won'tbe perfect, right, they hate Trump,
but much more balanced than expected.Is this the secret sauce? They
want to drive Biden out of therace? CNN wants to drive Biden out

(15:56):
of the race. The Left wantsto drive Biden out of the race.
This is the lowest hanging fruit inthe history of fruit for Tapper and Bash
their own self interest. Be harderon Biden than expected, be more balanced
than expected. It's a win winfor them because then they look like journalist
and the Left loves them because they'rehelping to drive Biden out. They know

(16:19):
Biden is a loser, they knowthey need him out. Sooner than later
that they cannot afford a scenario whereBiden has his final freeze up after the
convention. So it's it's t ballfor Bash and Tapper. All they have
to do is be balanced. Here. Everything you say makes perfect logical sense,
which is why it won't a leftbrain. But I'm telling you,

(16:41):
Dan, I don't know that thesetwo are going to be able to help
themselves. I think they're going togive into this impulse to this right brain
emotional Trump derangement syndrome, hatred ofthe Orange Man, and it might show
through and what you're talking about,that lack of a follow up with Biden.
They'll they'll ask the tough question.Okay, we got that covered,
and then they'll go in a Trump. One other point about Casey Hunt from

(17:02):
CNN. Her ex Twitter background isa photo of her having done an interview
with Joe Biden shaking his hand andhe's smiling. That's her background. Everybody
knows the bias, right and listen, you're right. We're all human and
you can never take the human elementout. And so yeah, we talked
earlier about the fact that Trump's goingto be feed away from a guy on

(17:23):
stage who's trying to force Trump toend his life in jail. I mean,
how do you completely take the humanelement out of that? Biden abusing
the criminal justice system to try toput Trump in jail while Biden skates on
all of this obvious garbage. Soyeah, you can't take the human element
out. And you're right, Tapperand Bash hate them, and so that

(17:47):
will in some way shape or formshelter. I'm just saying it's going to
be much more balanced than expected.But watch for the follow up questions and
how rigorous are they on the followups with Biden? That will be the
true test. Hey, when wecome back, I do want to talk
as well about these local races inColorado and tomorrow primary day, who's going
to win and why you're on theDan Caplis Show. You're listening to the

(18:14):
Dan Kapliss Show podcast Do Better.Denver tweeted this out says this is a
message and employee just got downtown.Others are getting similar. What's really going
on? And the message says activeshooter in downtown Denver. Police are responding
to shots fired near eighteenth and Curtis. If you are outside, you are
advised to run, leave your belongings. Encourage others to leave the unsafe area.

(18:37):
If you are away from this location, stay away. Hide If you
can't escape, hide, block entrywith your heavy furniture, lock doors,
and silence your devices. Act ifyou believe your life is in imminent danger.
Use any means necessary to defend yourself. When in a safe location,
contact emergency services, move away fromwindows, and it goes on from there.

(19:00):
You know what I'd love to see. I'd love to see a law
that says, in all of thesesituations there need to be talk, screens
done, and that information needs tobe published. Now. I don't know
what actually happened here, what theunderlying threat was, but in how many
of these do you think that maybeKrakowana was an issue. Let's go to

(19:21):
a Jeff Hurt. Jeff's running forCongress down in CD three. It's currently
Congressman Bobert's district. As you know, she's now running in four and Jeff's
in a hotly contested primary. Jeff, Welcome back to the Dan Kapla Show.
Hey Dan, it's great to beback with you. Well, thank
you, my friend, by mymask for less than twenty six hours left.

(19:44):
Right, we're at the finish linefor sure. Holy cow. Yeah,
And so what's it looking like.Do you think it's going to be
close? And what are you askingpeople to do? Thanks? Dan,
I'd say I'm feeling consciously optimistic.I feel like we've done everything we can
do. We've reached every corner ofthe district with our ads, We've knocked
a ton of doors, made countlesscalls. I've actually had four of my

(20:06):
five kids dialing to get out thevote as part of the team. What's
wrong with the f It's a newborn, right, he's two years old.
So yeah, we're going to dothat. Well converted, Yeah, that's
right. Well, you know he'sable to get some words out, but
he's got a ways to go beforehe's going to persuade some voters. So
it's all hands on deck, nottaking anything for granted, working hard.

(20:29):
And I guess the message would be, Dan, if you're vote in CD
three and you want to hold aseat and it matters to you that is
held by Republican vote Jefford, Well, it should matter to everybody that Congress
is held by Republicans, right,and it could come down to this seat.
Absolutely, Yeah, this is oneof the targeted seventeen Democratic congressional campaign
seats. They're red the Blue project. This is a hotly contestant seat and

(20:55):
we've got a Democrat on the theother end of the primary who's got a
ton of money, and so weneed to feel the best candidate that we
can. I don't think there's anydoubt about that. What does Frish have
now, he's got to be thirteento fourteen million. Yeah, I think
it's going to be even higher thanthat. I think he's raised more than
fifty million. He's got money thanany Democratic House candidate in the United States
of America other than Hakim Jeffries,the minority leader. Well, beautiful member,

(21:19):
and that's why this will be atop top seat for them, and
we got to hold them off.Well, just remember New Coke and Jeb
Bush, right, I mean NewCoke. Didn't they spend one hundred million
on that campaign and I haven't seenanybody drinking New Coke? And Jeb Bush
is not president and he had onehundred and fifty million. So, Jeff
Hurd, for those who are notfamiliar with you, I know your very

(21:40):
impressive story, but please tell thosewho have not heard it. Sure,
so I am Claudor natives who grewup here on the Western Slope and raising
my family here, are working authentic, not a career politician, sent my
career working to keep energy costs lowfor rural America. And I know the
issues that rural Colorado's facing. Wefeel like we're being left behind. We're

(22:03):
losing jobs and opportunities, and peoplesee we need a different directions, and
voters are creating a serious and credibleRepublican choice to represent them. And I'm
that guy. I'm a problem solvingconservative, not afraid to take on tough
challenges and make life better for familiesand small businesses and communities in southern and
western Colorado. Yeah. And Iknow you've had some people I really respect

(22:25):
say that they're going to support youany of those names you want to throw
out and listen, I don't thinkendorsements mean that much in races anymore.
I just know there are some folksI think a lot of who think a
lot of you we have not metpersonally. Yeah, Dan, listen,
I say the only endorsement that ultimatelymatters is the one I'm working hard to
get tomorrow on election day. Thatis true. I've been I'm happy to

(22:48):
say that I've got to support froma broad coalition of Republicans all across the
political spectrum. I've got everyone fromScott Gessler, former Secretary of State here
who's endorsement, to Bill Owens toHank Around to former Interior Secretary Gale Morton,
to a bunch of county commissioners currentlyserving in this district. And so
that's broad based. The support,I think is one of the things that

(23:11):
also makes me a really formidable candidateand the best individual to represent real Colorado.
Boy. I don't think there's anydoubt that you would beat Adam Frish.
But Jeff, hey, appreciate thetime. What's that website for those
who want to check you out atthe last minute? Website? Dan is
Jeff Heard for Colorado dot Com.That's j E F F h U R

(23:33):
D F O R Colorado dot com. All right, man, Well,
Hey, appreciate you spending the timeand good luck. Thanks so much,
Dan. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you. That is Jeff Heard.
Got to tell you, I havea lot of respect for people who
get into that meat grinder. Haveyou ever run for office been in one
of those political type deals? Evenlike student government or polastic election. I

(23:55):
won, Dan was a twofold electionfor NHS president and for senior class president
in my high school. I'll tellyou what high school class for. Anybody
who gets in the arena, youknow that you're taking some risk. That
stuff is tough. And have wehave some text on all of that too.
Let me get to some of those. Yeah, you know it's gone
so fast. Primary dat tomorrow,just real quick. On this race Stan

(24:19):
with Jeff Heard, he's facing notonly the state GOP endorsed Ron Hanks,
who's airing a lot of radio commercials, including on this station and this show.
Stephen Varrella, who I know youand I are both very impressed with
down in Peblo himself. He's aconverted like you, Democrat to Republican.
I think he's got a great storyto tell. But Hurd has been the

(24:40):
target of a lot of dark moneyads coming in, one of which featured
the state GOP clipping and Adam Frischad against herd and then taking out the
Adam Frish part. So basically usingDemocrat propaganda and talking points against Jeff Heard
unheard, unintended. Yeah, andmore broadly, this whole thing about Democrats

(25:04):
dishonestly getting involved in GOP primaries.Listen, I'm just all about honesty.
If you want to get into theprimary and say, hey, we're a
bunch of Democrats and we really thinkthat this guy or gil should be your
nominee, that's fine. I haveno beef with that. But to pretend
you're something else, right, topretend you're doing something else when you're really

(25:26):
trying to get the who you viewas the weakest Republican nominated, it's just
so fundamentally dishonested. And it's funnybecause they're doing the exact same stuff that
they were doing for Ron Hanks inthe Senate race against Joe Day. This
whole notion of Ron Hanks is tooconservative for Colorado. And who do they
think that's going to appeal to.It's a real cheap, cynical play,

(25:47):
and I don't think many people aregoing to fall for it. Hopefully none.
Yeah, I'm trying to remember wherethat has worked and not worked.
I can't remember it working in Colorado. No, but some tech coming in
on this, and then after thisbreak, I want to get into a
story out of Denver where they're tryingto reduce the deaths on two major streets,

(26:08):
and I think I think they're missingthe big point, good goal,
right because Denver streets and Colorado asa whole right now is just a killing
field. You know, way wayway too much. Want would be too
many, but way too much deathon the roadways. But the solution,
I think is one the left isnot willing to take on, which is
one reason the left has to goa couple of texts, Dan, I

(26:30):
got to disagree. Bash and Taperare blinded by their hate for Trump.
They will do anything they can tomake sure he loses Mike in Henderson.
Yeah, but keep in mind Mike. One of the ways they know they
have to One of the things theyknow they have to do to have any
chance to defeat Trump is run Bidenout of the race, because can you
imagine Biden by election day? He'snot functional now. No matter what happens,

(26:52):
if he has a good night Thursdaynight, America is not going to
forget everything they've already seen and he'sjust going to get worse. Dan,
wild media cover up and tap dancefor Biden. Would you ever think they'll
not be completely biased? Blank holes? I completely disagree. This will be
anything but the same old thing fromCNN. Gary. I wish we could
bet a tomahawk because I never gettired of tomahawks. I'm gonna win one

(27:14):
from Ryan, I'm gonna win runfrom Kelly, and then I'm going to
go to dinner that night. I'mgonna eat to tomahawks at long tomahawks at
lunch. Dan Cassie hunts banner pictureand X has her shaking hands with Biden,
way to show on bias. Sheis Alexa, thank you Alexi.
Yeah, but again, that's whythey're going to bend over backwards. That
and the fact that they want Bidenout of the race so they can beat

(27:40):
Trump. We've got a lot moregreat texts when we come back. What
Denver and all of Colorado really needto do to have fewer desks on the
roadway. But the left isn't willingto go there. They just don't value
your life enough. You're on theDan Capla Show and now back to the
Dan Kaplass Show podcast. The onlything that could make it better bacon.

(28:02):
Even I won't buy bacon anymore,it's too expensive. I said, I'd
love to have some lovely bacon darling, and she said, no, I'm
sorry to expense, so I wouldleave that one home Thursday night, right,
that doesn't have Trump is known forhis authenticity, brutal honesty. That

(28:22):
one doesn't ring too authentic to me. Big Max, though he's all about
the Big Max. Do you thinkhe's a bacont guy. He's not a
bacon guy. His one vice,Dan, is his diet is not great.
He's never drunk, he's never smoked, he's never done drugs. He's
in pretty good shape for being seventyeight years old, but his diet's not
great. And again, you know, Thursday night'll be very serious and all

(28:42):
that good stuff. But Trump isan entertainer. It's been part of his
magic, and I expect we'll seesome of that flash on Thursday night as
well. Dan, why not shootfor three tomahawks? You know I've been
egging you on for a while.Now. We can get a big table
with you at the head while werub it in, Kimberly, as long
as I'm not at the head ofthe table, and the only thing getting

(29:03):
rubbed in will be some nice littlemaybe salt and pepper to the three tomahawks.
Strikes that I'm gonna watch shrooms,Dan. Yes, yes, yes,
Dad, I'll bet a tomawk withthe side of King crab Lake except
for Mike. Boy. That soundslike a great appetizer A lot on the
line to me. Yes, andall of these tomawks, right, I'm

(29:26):
winning all of these because Biden's notgoing to be their nominee. This is
like stealing. I feel guilty overthis, but says a text or Dan,
crazy idea. But if I wasSourus, I would make it so
Joe has to appear to have amedical emergency right before or during the debate
if they want Joe out. Thisallows Joe to exit gracefully. They could
even say he's physically okay enough tofinish his term. I think the texture

(29:51):
is misperceiving what's happening. Biden wantedthis. Biden wanted this because he knows
he's not going to be around fordebates in the fall. He wants this
one last time on stage with Trump. He wants to spew venom. So
that's where this is coming from.And my humble opinion, Dan, we

(30:12):
know that Biden has a copy ofthe questions and has been preparing his canned
answers. I don't think CNN couldget away with it having been busted on
that at least once. Let meget to this quick story. I'll follow
up and it's some more tomorrow,but I know you know it's true and
want to get it out there becausehey, you might be in traffic right
now. If not, you're goingto be in traffic sometime soon. The

(30:33):
greatest danger what you care about inlife, your kids, your spouse,
you third will ever be in unlessyou serve in our police or military is
driving around Colorado and there's this bigheadline. Denver takes aim at traffic dess
on two major streets, hoping toslow down speeding drivers. And we'll get

(30:53):
into it some more tomorrow because itmatters so much to you and to me.
But the gist of this story isDiamond, Mike Johnston, Yap and
yeap and and y appen about howthey're going to have some more speed enforcement
by radar cameras, and they're gonnahave some more design stuff and this and
that. Listen, all of theseyapping politicians understand something. The carnage on

(31:17):
Colorado's roads. You're always gonna havea certain amount, but that doesn't mean
we should accept it. We shouldbe working like mad men and mad women
every single day of our lives toreduce the number of traffic deaths. It
costs so much grievous pain and upsetso many lives and even generationally in Colorado.
But here's the thing. The leftdoesn't care about that. Right.

(31:38):
If the left cares about it,they wouldn't do what they're doing. Now.
You want to talk about these increasingtraffic deaths in Colorado, It is
not hard to figure out. Andit goes right back to the feet of
the left. What do you havegoing on? Go back and trace it.
You have legalization in marijuana. Whatthe haities do you expect is going
to happen? You legalize marijuana andthen you legalize this high potency stuff.

(32:02):
He's like, Oh, we're notgoing to have more deaths on the roadway.
Of course, you know you are. You know on the left that
you're going to have more death andmore destruction on the roadway. You know
that's going to happen. And ithas the other thing the left's done,
and I know it. Listen,I do catastrophic injury work. I represent
victims I see in my practice allthe time. I have a whole bunch

(32:22):
of cases where the defendant, afterdoing something reckless and wreaking all this havoc
and carnage, isn't even charged withbeing under the influence of marijuana, and
we're able to prove during our civilcase that they were so. And I'm
not criticizing law enforcement. They areway underfunded and understaffed. But that's the
other thing. The left is notwilling to back the blue. The left

(32:45):
is not willing to back the blueA with adequate resources and man and woman
power and staffing, and b thatthe left won't back the blue in terms
of hey, I got your back. If you're out there, you got
the right intention, doing the jobthe best you can. I got your
back. Instead, the left isnot only cutting back the resources, but
ready to throw Blue under the busand in jail anytime it's convenient for the

(33:08):
left. So you cannot be expectingofficers to be as forward leaning when the
left is under cutting them all thetime. So you get a lot less
enforcement. So combine Krakawana legalized Krakawanawith a lot less enforcement because the left's
undermining cops. And what do youthink is going to happen. You're going
to get all these deaths. Andthen the left prance is around pretending to

(33:31):
care so much, well, notenough to protect you. That's what's really
going on. And then you adda third layer, Ryn, and I'm
going to be getting into this moretomorrow. You add a third layer,
which is what the left has done. What the Left has done to not
only weaken our defenses against reckless truckerswho wreak all this havoc and carnage across

(33:52):
Colorado, but actually actually embolden thosetruckers. And listen, there are a
lot of heroic trucks, the heroictruckers. They are American heroes, and
they're the reason, in part,we get to enjoy our lifestyles. But
there's another part to that industry,a really awful underbelly that makes the roads
of Colorado extraordinarily dangerous. And yousee it all the time, and the

(34:15):
Left is just doing their bidding.When your polo steps up there, Oh
yeah, yeah, Okay, youdecided to drive your truck into traffic.
You burned all these people alive.No, I'm going to cut your sentence
down one year for each person youtorched. Right now, we've got to
start protecting ourselves in Colorado, andI know how Ryan. Great job,
Thank you, Kelly. Join ustomorrow.
