This episode of the Dan Caplis Show is a thought-provoking discussion that delves into the world of sports betting, politics, and social issues. The host and his guest dive into the recent surge in sports betting in Colorado, where the state has spent $6.4 billion on sports gambling last year. They discuss the potential risks and consequences of this trend, particularly for young men who may become hooked on sports betting.
The conversation also touches on the topic of politics, specifically the rise of socialism in the Democratic Party. The host shares his thoughts on the recent apology of a prominent Democratic figure for expressing support for Israel, and how this incident may be a sign of a larger issue within the party. He also discusses the importance of understanding different perspectives and experiences, particularly when it comes to sensitive topics like Israel and Palestine.
The episode also features a fascinating story about Tim Tebow, a former NFL quarterback, and his experiences with faith and purpose. The host shares a remarkable story about Tebow's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he threw for 316 yards and had a 31.6 yards per rush and completion average. This story is a powerful example of how faith and perseverance can lead to incredible achievements.

This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to

Way headline today, Colorado's spent six point four billion with
(00:20):
the B on sports gambling last year.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's about seventeen and a half million a day. So
whyt to get your react to that? Do you think
that's a good or bad thing for the state?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Three all three seven one three eight two five five
the number d an five seven seven three nine, So
you know, it's interesting, Zach, I don't know if you.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Do that, I do, I'll cast a small bat here there.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Consider myself pretty good at it, but obviously nobody's going
to beat the house long term. But I'm not in
any kind of serious, you know, sports betting, and it's
all legal here in Colorado, you know, through the proper
apps that sort of thing. But I think a an
awful lot of people are doing it and be hey,
it's it's not my business to make those decisions for them.
(01:05):
But I'm really worried about you know a lot of
young men out there. You see a lot of studies
on that. You see a lot of young men who
apparently get hooked on it, spend money they don't have,
get in the hole that way, that kind of stuff.
Do you see that in your peer group at all,
Zach mid twenties.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I've avoided it, but I know friends with serious gambling problems.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You spend way too much.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, and you could see where it'd be easy to
get hooked on it, right, I mean, the worst thing
you could happen, it'd be they win the first bat, you.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Know, they cry and hook you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, No, that's well for sure. And just
like with the marijuana industry, right, I mean you think
all these gummy bears and cookies and things that look
like candy, you think that was all mistake. No, they're
trying to hook the kids, hook them young, hook them forever.
And that's why the most potent forms of that poison,
you know, is in you know, the candy looking stuff.
But when it comes to sports betting, yeah, I mean
(02:00):
I enjoy it. The reason I don't do much of
it is more the time drain, because I think I'm
like most people if I do something, I want to
do it right, and so I don't care if I'm
gonna put five bucks on a game, then all of
a sudden, I'm spending like fifteen minutes. You know, Okay,
who's starting to night, Who's hurt? Wait a second, it's
a five dollars bet. My time's more valuable than that.
(02:20):
But you know you want to win.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So but anyway, that's that's what Colorado's doing and where
Colorado's headed. So I'd love to get your take on that.
Three all three seven, one three eight two five five
d an five seven seven three nine Do you think
that it's I Do you think it's causing a lot
of cheating in sports? Do you think it's doing that?
(02:46):
My phone just started talking to me. Does your phone
ever just start talking to you?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yes, you have an actually get the ky.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah or something? Yeah, the hay Sery thing, something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So anyway, I want to get your reaction on the
sports betting. I think this is really fascinating. Malt Kiros,
who is the new face and voice of the Democratic
Party in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
After knocking off Diana to get.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Open Socialist, she apologized, actually publicly apologized for saying something
positive about Israel. That that is how upside down, totally
whack the Democratic Party has become, which is really sad
and dangerous. It does create an opening for Republicans in
Colorado if they can take advantage of it. So here's
(03:29):
that sound and listen. This is not a big deal.
This is on a PBS national interview.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
And to Israel or anywhere in the region, what it.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Let me start with that.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
The question to her, this flaming anti semi right, The
first question on this national interview is.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Hey, have you been there? Have you been to what? I?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh, she hasn't even been there, and I think she did.
She just says that she hasn't been anywhere in the region.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Here, let me play that again.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
And to Israel or anywhere in the region, would it
change your mind or open your perspectives if you did?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
I'm sure it would, right, And you know, part of
this is the work that we've been doing here as
well as having conversations with the Jewish community, specifically designing
this Jewish community to better understand the different li.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I'd love to know the details of those conversations. Okay,
because she's never bothered to go there before hating and
who do you think she's having those conversations with Zack?
You know what, I'm going to make my project tomorrow.
I got a lot of projects tomorrow. I've got three
trials coming up. But my other project tomorrow is going
to be getting her on the show. Let's just have
(04:41):
this conversation, and.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I bet she'll come on. I think she wanted. I
bet she'll come on, and I like that. I think.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I think what we're seeing with this new generation of
socialist double middle finger socialist types is they'll go anywhere.
They are such true believers in what they've convinced themselves of.
I don't think they're going to be scared of their
shadow the way this current generation of Democrats are. I mean,
(05:08):
whether you're talking about Polists, Hicking, Looper, Bennett, any of them,
even the young ones, they're just scared of their shadow.
And that's a shame because the Democrats and the Republicans
aren't scared of their shadow. But the Democrats back in
the day, you know, they were wrong on policy, but
these were big time men and women.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know, who were not scared of their shadow.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
They would go on any show, they would stand up
for what they believed in they would engage in the
Great debate.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It was a whole different type of Democrat.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And then you got this generation of those who are
scared of their shadow because they know they can't back
up what they're saying. They can't answer any type of
good question. I should say, follow up question, right, because
you know how it works. They can get away from
any good question, but they can't get away from the
follow up questions. That's why Hickenlooper was reduced on this
show when he was running for president, handing the phone
(06:00):
to an aid and saying I gotta go, which made
national news because the questioning was very polite and pertinent.
So we continue now with Malat Karros her national interview
on PBS.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Perspectives, different positions, different experiences. Again, my values have always
been rooted in protecting dignity and safety for every single person.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Love some evidence of that, see if we can find some.
But she can tell us when she comes on.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
The show if she does, especially as it relates to
these analienable things about our religion or ethnicity or culture.
And my greatest concern right now is that the state
of Israel is.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Losing support.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So my greatest concern right now is that the state
of Israel is losing support. That's the statement that she
has now publicly apologized for. So why do you think
she said it and why do you think she's apologizing?
Do you think she said it because she was sincere?
(07:04):
I would love to hope so, because we've all known
I bet you've known people, maybe you've done it yourself,
who changed deeply hell beliefs because they hate eventually the
facts just showed them they were wrong. They didn't want
to be wrong, particularly on something profoundly important and moral
like that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So yeah, do you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Think that she was stating her true beliefs in that
interview and then just apologize because it just upset her
supporters so much. She not only apologized to put that
in quotes. She not only apologized, she then came out
and said, no, my biggest concern has always been in
Israel committing genocide. How do you go from my biggest
concern is Israel losing support?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Because there are lots as we've talked about, there.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Are lots of really good people, strong supporters of Israel,
who are very concerned that the State of Israel is
losing support because they know how important state of Israel
has been to the free world, and how great that
nation has been and how deserving.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Of support it is.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So they're worried that it is losing support worldwide.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, wild, Let's hope that's her true belief. If it's not,
then why did she say it?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
My own working theory, And I really hope I'm wrong
because I know for myself personally, and I've known others
who have had a wrong position and then saw the facts,
saw the truth and corrected it.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Didn't wint eighty.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I think that's a sign of a smart, brave person
when they can admit they're wrong and follow the facts
to the truth.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So let's hope that's the case of there.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I think far more likely is what she's found is
that because her anti Semitism is, in my opinion, so
open and so toxic, I think she's.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Probably been you know, schooled by the powers that be
in DC.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Okay, it may be a congressman from this one congressional
district in Colorado, but you're not going to have any
real power here unless you're more careful with your anti
semitism because so much not the Democrat Party voters, but
so much of the Democrat power party elite is now
anti Semitic. I mean, Josh Shapiro would have been an
(09:23):
infinitely better choice for the dem nominee, let alone VP,
than Kamala Harris, but they were never going to go
there because he's Jewish, and they got what they deserve
for being anti Semitic.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
They got totally spanked.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I'm glad they didn't go there because he would have
been a stronger candidate, and he's fundamentally wrong on all
the big issues, but he was a more deserving candidate,
a more talented candidate, a more intelligent candidate would have
been a more successful candidate. But the Democrat Party at
the power level has become anti Semitic. But I think
they're telling Kiros back in Washington, hey, you got a
(10:00):
you got to be more careful about voicing your anti Semitism.
And so that's why I personally believe she said that
to begin with, She's just trying to make sure she
has power and influence in Democrat partly party leadership back there,
and that they don't have to distance themselves from her,
even though so.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Many of them agree with her.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
They're just not as blatant as Bottom three h three,
someone three eight two five five, d an five seven,
seven three or nine when we come back. The latest
evidence really encouraging that the exposure of Anthony Fauci, you know,
as a liar and someone who's done great harm is
now seeping into the pop culture.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
And now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Been very open about coming back for this year last rodeo,
and you talked about your wife saying, hey have another year.
Mike McCarthy being here obviously a big deal. Can you
tell us about the mindset of coming into your last season,
like that's a real thing. It feels like is everything better?
Is everything funner? Is everything more awesome? Like how do
you kind of view this year verse? Maybe the years
of the best?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Now I'm gonna plead the fifth okay.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Like like that absolute coward, Tony? Absolute?
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:23):
You got a pardon and you're in front of you and
you pleaded over a hundred times.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah at the White House?
Speaker 8 (11:27):
What are you scared of? Tony? I thought you were
the science. Yeah, yeah, I thought you or I am
science And you get up there and you can't answer
a question, Yeah, what are we doing? And how much
time does the network spend that? How much time did
they spend on my responses every week on my vaccination status?
Don Taylor at Travis's wedding.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Man, I'm so happy to hear him sale that. Aaron Rodgers.
I wonder if he'll run for office when he's done.
I gotta tell you, I'm a little surprised that Tim
Tebow has not run for office yet a little surprised,
but I think Tim Tebow, say, out of Florida, I
think he could get a US Senate seat.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I thought it would absolutely have gone that way. You
saw him post athletic career pivot into the public speaking,
and I thought, Okay, he's getting ready to launch this thing,
and it just never came. I think he's making enough
as a speaker well.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And I honestly, Zach, I don't know him personally, but
I honestly think that he's absolutely to the core.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's all about God's calling for him. And my guess
is he just.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Feels more compelled right now to do the human trafficking
work that he's doing. But you would think at some
point he would think, you know, because I think you know,
people try to analyze what gifts have been given to
try to figure out what they're meant to do, you know,
what their purpose is. And with Tebow, when you've been
given the gifts he has, which means that you have
(12:45):
pretty clear runway you know to say a US Senate
seat and maybe eventually the presidency, you would think to
have maximum impact on the issues he cares about, he
would go down that road.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I mean's he saw what he did as a quarterback, right.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He became one of the most hactful Christians in the world,
one of the most impactful.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Wonder if his thought process is, you know, the hands
on impact he's making now direct as opposed to the
indirect impact of a politician.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's always going to beat the analysis, right And for
those listening to maybe Christians, you know, that just comes
back to what he's feeling, right Like, maybe when he's
delved into the political he's not feeling the connection with
the spirit he gets when he's hands on, you know,
because like our son when when he was at school college,
(13:38):
he was at college at Ole Miss and then then
you know, went from there to Harvard Law and when
he was an old Miss he went to the Night
to Shine thing that Tim Tebow would put on, and
he was a volunteer at that and everything else. And Tebow,
from everything Joe told me, appeared to be at his
absolute happy, happiest, you know when he was there. And Joe,
by the way, took maybe the greatest photo of Tim
(14:01):
Tebow ever taken.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I'll have to show that to you, Zach, and I'll
have to post it.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It was right before the Broncos played the Steelers in
that postseason game that they won against all odds, and
Tabo accomplished all of these milestones that had the numeric
three sixteen, including some that were considered probably way way
out of reach for him, and it's something that just
really could not be accomplished without divine intervention. In fact,
(14:29):
we'll play that sound from Tebow later in the show.
But anyway, Joe took a picture of him on the
sidelines right before kickoff, maybe ten minutes before kickoff, because
it was a deal where and I won't go into
the details of it, but Joe and Caroline, because of
some good works they'd done, they were going to have
(14:50):
an opportunity to meet Tebow on the field right before
the game. Because Tebow will go and he will meet
with a handful of people who are furthering his ministry
and stuff for the game.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And then that never.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Happened because we were down on the field to meet Tebow.
But then there was this young lady, you know, who
just had undergone some really, really hard stuff. And so
I was so proud of both of them because Joe
and Caroline both said, hey, give our time to her,
and so they never did meet him. She got more
time with him, which was great. But Joe took a
(15:23):
picture of him on the sidelines helmet off talking to
that little girl right before kickoff, and you can see
these like rays from heaven coming down on Tebow.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's so cool.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But yeah, we'll dig up that sound and play it
before the end of the show where Tebow talks about
all of these things that were accomplished during the game.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh you do, do we have time or.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Let's tease it to the next segment if you don't mind,
because I don't think we have time to play it all.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
And believe me, thank you for listening to the show.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I would not be teasing it into the next segment
unless I was going to have to cut it for you.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But but yeah, I'm very surprised.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Tabo isn't into politics already because I think he would win.
He would win at least the next open Senate seat
out of Florida and have a path to the presidency.
But we will find out together. And then I do
want to address this text. And I don't understand your
tolerance of sports betting, but condemnation of marijuana. I know
(16:24):
more whose lives are ruined by gambling than by drugs.
The partnerships between sports celebrities and the gambling industry totally hypocritical.
Let's take that last sentence last, because I share some
of your concern their texture. But there's a fundamental difference
between sports betting, which does include some danger and some
actual harm, no question about it, and marijuana, because the
(16:48):
starting point difference is is marijuana is dangerous when used
as directed. And you look at the mass harm that
marijuana has done to children undeniably, and there's a reason
why Colorado was the first place in the world in
any kind of modern times to legalize marijuana the way
(17:10):
it did. It wasn't that you know that the people
pushing legal marijuana here most of them from out of state,
given big money, were somehow smarter than the whole rest
of the world combined for the last three hundred years. No,
it's because what was inflicted on Colorado was really dumb
and destructive to society.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So when you stack.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Up the harms, Okay, what do you have from sports gambling?
You have some people get hooked, and that causes emotional problems,
it causes financial problems.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It's a real deal. It's serious.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Sometimes you end up with some families that are devastated financially.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
All of that's serious. But on the marijuana side, what
do you have or you have lots of dead.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Bodies to start with on the roadways, you have teen suicides, spiking,
traumatic clee. Do you have lots of ruined kids at
least for many years. Do you have a really significant
addiction rate? Do you have a mental health crisis in
Colorado among teens that has exploded since legalization in marijuana?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, it's not even close.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast kind of.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Odd afternoon right with getting off and on. Some of
that smoke out of Utah fires different parts across the
Strait Estates, certainly in the Denver.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Metro area where we're doing the show today. Three out
three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
D an five seven seven three nine. I hope you're
also with us tomorrow. We're going to talk about something
that's really starting to take me off. In fact, it
started to take me off a long time ago, and
that is the street takeover, sometimes takeovers of the highway right.
Sometimes it's drag racers. Sometimes it's a mass numbers of
people on assorted forms of crouch rocket, et cetera. But
(19:01):
this is the broken windows theory. You cannot allow a
broken window to go unfixed, or all of the sudden,
the whole neighborhood, then the community, then the city, then
the state.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Fall apart around it. You can't allow that.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
You cannot allow takeovers of your roadways, and that leads
to a breakdown in order, and it should not be
acceptable to people in a civilized society. I'm not faulting
law enforcement. That's not the point. Law enforcement has been
underfunded and undersupported for a long time in this state,
most places. I am not faulting law enforcement. What I'm
(19:35):
saying is you got the left running a city, you're
running a state.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know, the.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Message is okay, it's all yours takeover. This is crazy,
This is craziness. We just saw it happen again over
the weekend in Denver, and the danger part of it.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I don't mean to be all pollyannish, but every now
and then I'll get stopped in traffic because there's one
of these takeovers going on down a street or something,
and I see so many young you know, like younger
people in that and you know, guys the wheelies for
two blocks at times, stuff like that, and I'm just thinking,
that's somebody's son, that's somebody's daughter on the back of
(20:12):
that bike.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
That's somebody's daughter driving that bike.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And it's like, man, I you know, you just don't
want to see people heard or killed, but you also
don't want to send the message that, yeah, law doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Just take over. You know.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It's just a larger, more concentrated form of the chaos
on the roadways you're living with every day right now.
And as I say that, Zach, I'm looking at our window.
I see some croch rocket shoot down the street at twice.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
The speed limit.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But everybody listening knows that's their common experience, and it
is not the fault of law enforcement. It's the fault
of people who won't let law enforcement enforce the law,
either by cutting their numbers not backing them up, creating
personal civiliability for officers. Yeah, break down in order. That's
(21:01):
the ticket, all right. We promised we're going to deliver.
Something got us going on the Tim Tebow topic in
the last hour, and I was just making the point
about how I'm surprised he hasn't run for public office yet,
and then I was telling the story the greatest picture
of Tebow ever taken was taken by our son Joe
on the sidelines before that Pittsburgh playoff game, and I
(21:21):
will get that posted. But in the meantime, Zach, that
was the playoff game at which a combination of things
happened that I don't think are explainable short of divine intervention.
So let's roll the tape and people can decide for themselves.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
I was playing for the Denver Broncos and we were
playing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL playoffs.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
And we win.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
It's a real moment, and it's just black. That's unbelievable.
I walk in this big room, packful of media. There's
all these curtains out front, and I'm standing in front
and Patrick arpr guy there steps in front of me.
He said, Timmy, do you realize what happened? And I'm like, yeah,
we just beat the Steelers. We're going to play the Patriots.
He's like, yeah, I know what happened. Dude, Like why
(22:04):
did you ask me such a silly question?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Then he goes, no, do you know what happened?
Speaker 9 (22:10):
And I'm like, uh, I thought I did, Patrick, what happened?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Because you could just see this different demeanor.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
And oh, he said, Timmy, Now you don't know what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Timmy.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
It's exactly three years from the night that you were
John three sixteen under your eyes.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And I'm like, oh wow, that's awesome. That's so cool.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
And he said no, no, no, you don't realize it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Timmy.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
During the game, you threw for three hundred and sixteen yards.
And I'm like what And he said, Timmy, during the game,
your yards per rush were three point one six, your
yards per completion were thirty one point six. The ratings
for the night were thirty one point six, and the
time of possession was thirty one point six. And during
(22:58):
the night over A ninety million people have google John
three sixteen. It's the number one trending thing all over.
And I think he even mentioned something about there were
so many people tweeting about it that like Twitter even
froze or something like that. At least that was what
I was told. I was standing in that hallway, and
I don't think I had the reaction that a lot
of people think I did it because I went from
(23:22):
a high and a celebration and a joy to a
conviction and a disappointment. Why because when he was telling
me that, I knew that God was convicting me, saying, Timmy,
you thought tonight was about a game. You thought it
was about all of these things. It's never just about
(23:45):
a game. But I didn't die for a game. I
was playing for the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, man, what are the chances all that just happens?
And keep in mind, because this was a subject of
a piece I wrote, I think for the Denver Post,
one of the top pieces of the year, I believe,
if I'm thinking of the right piece where I broke
down Tebow's accomplishments for a new quarterback. He'd only played
a relative handful of games over a season and a
(24:12):
half at that point, and how well he compared to
most of the NFL greats at that early point in
their career, because there's such a steep learning curve for quarterbacks,
even the greatest of the great So for Tim Tebow
to throw for three.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Hundred and sixteen yards.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Against the best I think that was the best defense
in the AFC at that time, back in those days,
that was a ton of yards. It was before all
of this kind of arena ball stuff we have now,
the spread offense and everything else. That was not done
often even by you know that the more veteran, you know,
Pro Bowl type quarterbacks. So for Tebow to have done
(24:52):
it in that game, three hundred and sixteen yards with a.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Bronco team that was far from one of the best.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Against the Steeler defense, and then they have that three
point to one six and yards brush thirty one point
six what are the odds?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, powerful stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I what do you think the odds would be on
that sack of all of that happening just coincidentally, and
by the way, for those not familiar, they're the significance.
And Teaba talking about what three years says he wore
John three sixteen on his EyeBlack and in the Bowl game,
and and that got ninety million, ninety million hits three
sixteen for those who may not be Christian, John three
(25:37):
sixteen for God so loved the world that he gave
his only sons so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish, but may have eternal life. So that
the significance of John three sixteen. Wow, Yeah, Texter, Dan,
Tim Tebow will be one of the guest speakers at
Life Surge August twenty ninth at Magnus Arena. That is
(26:00):
awesome and I know he never disappoints as a speaker, Dan.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Some of these just get too long, Dan.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
How racist of the mom Dami to require ID to
buy groceries many women will and people of color will starve.
There such hypocrites that from Alexa. Yeah, because America knows
this is total bs. When the Democrats are saying, oh
if we passes, say that people won't be able to
vote Americans across party lines, yet they want people to
(26:35):
voter ID text or Dan Clay Travis offered ten million
to the WNBA to play a high school boys state
championship team Boy That's one of the reasons I like
Clay Travis and what he's talking about here is we
have this epidemic now of WNBA coaches who just say, hey,
(26:56):
that they don't know enough to know whether other biological
men should be able to play women's basketball. Really, I
like Klay Travis's idea. Here's here's the coach of, here's
the coach of, in fact, Caitlin Clark's team, the Indiana Fever.
And you've got to wonder, don't you think she just
(27:17):
felt like she was demeaning herself giving this answer? What
is your stance on men are athletes who test as
biological male participating in women's sports?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
What's your personal stance?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I don't know that I would
say that I'm educated enough from a scientific standpoint.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
What more would you need to know? Really, what more
would you need to know?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't ever believe that exclusion is an answer.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
No, I don't believe exclusions the answer. I mean, that's
where she just both of those demean herself so much.
Exclusion is never the answer. Okay, so you're gonna let
men just walk into your shower there, You're gonna let
men play in the WNBA. I love Clay Travis's point
because listen, I respect the women who play. I respect
how hard they train. I respect the effort. I don't
(28:01):
care if it's little six year old girls or people
in the WNBA. I respect all that. But for them
to now, why would this league, which has always struggled,
why would it now just hitch its fate to this
lie that a man who says he's a woman is
really a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Why would they hitch their fate to that. That's what I.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Don't get because I respect the people who play, but
they have got to know.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
For example, Zach, I don't know if I ever told
you this.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I was up and I was just playing a pickup
game on Sunday morning at the men's gym atu see
you Boulder, and.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I was up there with my usual group of buddies.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Somebody came by and they said, Hey, would you guys
come over to the Cours Events Center and scrimmage?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Sure? We love took go play in the course of
events center. I can't.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I want to make sure I get this right, and
I'm not sure I have a clear enough memory. I'm
pretty sure it was women's Olympic team or a national team,
a women's national team of some sort.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But it was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Practicing at the course of Ents Center on a Sunday morning.
We said, sure, we'll go play, and we're a bunch
of scrubs and we must have beat them by one
hundred points and they're elite and we're nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And it doesn't take anything away from them.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It just goes to the truth about the athletic advantage
that men have, that that doesn't discount the accomplishment of
women at all. But for these coaches to perpetuate that lie, no,
I hope some men try to play in the WNBA.
I hope they force their hand here on The Dan Caplis.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Show and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Is there a way for law enforcement to effectively stop
these street takeovers? And it's not really about law enforcement.
You know, they're always going to do their job well
if they're given the resources they need. It's a question
about political will you know what would be and we're
blessed with a low law enforcement in the audience, what
would tactically be the way to shut down these street takeovers?
(30:05):
We just saw another big one in Denver and it's
not right, and it's dangerous and it sends the wrong message.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
And this has not happened in the past. This is
a new phenomena.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Of leftist rule where it's okay, you know, violate the
law will Yeah, and very very.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Bad for a society.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Hey, speaking of bad for a society, these crazy socialists.
The only silver lining is it gives the GOP in
Colorado a chance to get back in the game because
you have a whole lot of people voting Democrat who
don't want socialism. And then nationally, it gives a GOP
a opening to just wipe out the Democrats at least
much more so than we normally see in America today,
(30:44):
even though it's trending republican. Yeah, this is an opportunity
nationally to make some big, big gains in urry because
the Dems are just exposing themselves. I mean literally, Yeah,
they are so many of the elected ones socialists, but
now they're just coming out in the open. With the
reason I mentioned all this is melt Kiros the new
voice and face of the Democrats in Colorado. Open socialists
(31:06):
to knocked off Diana to get she just apologized for
saying something positive about Israel. And so I'll play the
beginning national interview on PBS and you'll hear it start
with the with the interviewer just saying, Hey, by the way,
have you ever actually been to Israel?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
And she says no.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
So all this hate and she's never even been there,
or apparently to the region what she been doing and.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
To Israel or anywhere in the region, would it change
your mind or open your perspectives if you did, I'm
sure it.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Would, right, And you know, part of the work that
we've been doing here as well as having conversations with
the Jewish community, specifically designing this Jewish community to better
understand different perspectives, different positions, different experiences. You know, again,
my values have always been rooted in protecting dagnity and
safety for every.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Single person up to see the other, especially as.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
It relates to these analienable things about our religion or
ethnicity or culture. And my greatest concern right now is
that the State of Israel is.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Losing support.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Well that's our greatest concern right now, that the State
of Israel is losing support. That would be a one
eighty and I would be thrilled to see it and
those kind of conversions can and do happen when people
is going, When people are going from the wrong immoral
position to the correct moral position.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
We see it all the time. I've done it myself.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
That's a sign of a healthy human If this is
a true change, Now we know it's not because she
came out and apologized for that later, and I put
apology in quotes because it's so surreal. Here's a malak
kiros I fumbled this line, plain and simple, playing PLA
and E and simple. To be clear, my foreign policy
priority is ending Israel's occupation, apartheid and genocide and Palestine.
(32:59):
First of all, the big there's no Israeli genocide in Palestine.
They obviously the Jewish people were the victims of a
genocide and another attempt at genocide on October seven.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
So no, that's a big lie.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But the point being, how do you reconcile that with
her saying her greatest concern is that Israel's losing support
Because there are lots of people who support Israel and
always have who have a concern that Israel is losing
support and they don't want to see Israel loose support
worldwide because Israel is such a great nation, a great people,
(33:33):
a critical beacon for freedom. They don't want to see
Israel loose support. So how do you go from saying
that to say, no, my top priority is stopping their
genocide when that's a big lie. It's one of the
worst lies on the face of the earth. Yeah, So
why do you think she said it? To begin with
my working theory, And I'm sure we're going to be
(33:55):
talking more about this because she is the voice of
the party now here.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I truly my best guess, and we're going to try
to get her on. My best guess is that.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
The people in DC told her, hey, you're not going
to have a leadership position here unless.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
You're more careful with your anti semitism.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And I'm not saying they said it exactly that way,
because leadership in the Democratic Party, unlike most Democrats, has
become very anti Semitic, to the point they cut their
own throat by not having Josh Shapiro as either their
replacement for Joe Biden or as Harris's VP. He would
have been superior on both counts exponentially, but because of
(34:39):
their power lead to anti Semitism, they couldn't go there.
So I think hers is probably just way too much
out in the open for their taste, and so I
think she's trying to maneuver into a more powerful position
in DC just by toning down her anti Semitism a
little bit. But then she apologized for even the exact
(35:00):
great job, man, have a great evening, Catch it tomorrow.

Way headline today, Colorado's spent six point four billion with
(00:20):
the B on sports gambling last year.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's about seventeen and a half million a day. So
whyt to get your react to that? Do you think
that's a good or bad thing for the state?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Three all three seven one three eight two five five
the number d an five seven seven three nine, So
you know, it's interesting, Zach, I don't know if you.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Do that, I do, I'll cast a small bat here there.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Consider myself pretty good at it, but obviously nobody's going
to beat the house long term. But I'm not in
any kind of serious, you know, sports betting, and it's
all legal here in Colorado, you know, through the proper
apps that sort of thing. But I think a an
awful lot of people are doing it and be hey,
it's it's not my business to make those decisions for them.
(01:05):
But I'm really worried about you know a lot of
young men out there. You see a lot of studies
on that. You see a lot of young men who
apparently get hooked on it, spend money they don't have,
get in the hole that way, that kind of stuff.
Do you see that in your peer group at all,
Zach mid twenties.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I've avoided it, but I know friends with serious gambling problems.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You spend way too much.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, and you could see where it'd be easy to
get hooked on it, right, I mean, the worst thing
you could happen, it'd be they win the first bat, you.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Know, they cry and hook you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, No, that's well for sure. And just
like with the marijuana industry, right, I mean you think
all these gummy bears and cookies and things that look
like candy, you think that was all mistake. No, they're
trying to hook the kids, hook them young, hook them forever.
And that's why the most potent forms of that poison,
you know, is in you know, the candy looking stuff.
But when it comes to sports betting, yeah, I mean
(02:00):
I enjoy it. The reason I don't do much of
it is more the time drain, because I think I'm
like most people if I do something, I want to
do it right, and so I don't care if I'm
gonna put five bucks on a game, then all of
a sudden, I'm spending like fifteen minutes. You know, Okay,
who's starting to night, Who's hurt? Wait a second, it's
a five dollars bet. My time's more valuable than that.
(02:20):
But you know you want to win.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So but anyway, that's that's what Colorado's doing and where
Colorado's headed. So I'd love to get your take on that.
Three all three seven, one three eight two five five
d an five seven seven three nine Do you think
that it's I Do you think it's causing a lot
of cheating in sports? Do you think it's doing that?
(02:46):
My phone just started talking to me. Does your phone
ever just start talking to you?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yes, you have an actually get the ky.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah or something? Yeah, the hay Sery thing, something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So anyway, I want to get your reaction on the
sports betting. I think this is really fascinating. Malt Kiros,
who is the new face and voice of the Democratic
Party in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
After knocking off Diana to get.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Open Socialist, she apologized, actually publicly apologized for saying something
positive about Israel. That that is how upside down, totally
whack the Democratic Party has become, which is really sad
and dangerous. It does create an opening for Republicans in
Colorado if they can take advantage of it. So here's
(03:29):
that sound and listen. This is not a big deal.
This is on a PBS national interview.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
And to Israel or anywhere in the region, what it.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Let me start with that.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
The question to her, this flaming anti semi right, The
first question on this national interview is.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Hey, have you been there? Have you been to what? I?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh, she hasn't even been there, and I think she did.
She just says that she hasn't been anywhere in the region.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Here, let me play that again.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
And to Israel or anywhere in the region, would it
change your mind or open your perspectives if you did?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
I'm sure it would, right, And you know, part of
this is the work that we've been doing here as
well as having conversations with the Jewish community, specifically designing
this Jewish community to better understand the different li.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I'd love to know the details of those conversations. Okay,
because she's never bothered to go there before hating and
who do you think she's having those conversations with Zack?
You know what, I'm going to make my project tomorrow.
I got a lot of projects tomorrow. I've got three
trials coming up. But my other project tomorrow is going
to be getting her on the show. Let's just have
(04:41):
this conversation, and.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I bet she'll come on. I think she wanted. I
bet she'll come on, and I like that. I think.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I think what we're seeing with this new generation of
socialist double middle finger socialist types is they'll go anywhere.
They are such true believers in what they've convinced themselves of.
I don't think they're going to be scared of their
shadow the way this current generation of Democrats are. I mean,
(05:08):
whether you're talking about Polists, Hicking, Looper, Bennett, any of them,
even the young ones, they're just scared of their shadow.
And that's a shame because the Democrats and the Republicans
aren't scared of their shadow. But the Democrats back in
the day, you know, they were wrong on policy, but
these were big time men and women.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know, who were not scared of their shadow.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
They would go on any show, they would stand up
for what they believed in they would engage in the
Great debate.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It was a whole different type of Democrat.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And then you got this generation of those who are
scared of their shadow because they know they can't back
up what they're saying. They can't answer any type of
good question. I should say, follow up question, right, because
you know how it works. They can get away from
any good question, but they can't get away from the
follow up questions. That's why Hickenlooper was reduced on this
show when he was running for president, handing the phone
(06:00):
to an aid and saying I gotta go, which made
national news because the questioning was very polite and pertinent.
So we continue now with Malat Karros her national interview
on PBS.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Perspectives, different positions, different experiences. Again, my values have always
been rooted in protecting dignity and safety for every single person.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Love some evidence of that, see if we can find some.
But she can tell us when she comes on.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
The show if she does, especially as it relates to
these analienable things about our religion or ethnicity or culture.
And my greatest concern right now is that the state
of Israel is.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Losing support.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So my greatest concern right now is that the state
of Israel is losing support. That's the statement that she
has now publicly apologized for. So why do you think
she said it and why do you think she's apologizing?
Do you think she said it because she was sincere?
(07:04):
I would love to hope so, because we've all known
I bet you've known people, maybe you've done it yourself,
who changed deeply hell beliefs because they hate eventually the
facts just showed them they were wrong. They didn't want
to be wrong, particularly on something profoundly important and moral
like that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So yeah, do you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Think that she was stating her true beliefs in that
interview and then just apologize because it just upset her
supporters so much. She not only apologized to put that
in quotes. She not only apologized, she then came out
and said, no, my biggest concern has always been in
Israel committing genocide. How do you go from my biggest
concern is Israel losing support?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Because there are lots as we've talked about, there.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Are lots of really good people, strong supporters of Israel,
who are very concerned that the State of Israel is
losing support because they know how important state of Israel
has been to the free world, and how great that
nation has been and how deserving.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Of support it is.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So they're worried that it is losing support worldwide.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, wild, Let's hope that's her true belief. If it's not,
then why did she say it?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
My own working theory, And I really hope I'm wrong
because I know for myself personally, and I've known others
who have had a wrong position and then saw the facts,
saw the truth and corrected it.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Didn't wint eighty.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I think that's a sign of a smart, brave person
when they can admit they're wrong and follow the facts
to the truth.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So let's hope that's the case of there.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I think far more likely is what she's found is
that because her anti Semitism is, in my opinion, so
open and so toxic, I think she's.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Probably been you know, schooled by the powers that be
in DC.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Okay, it may be a congressman from this one congressional
district in Colorado, but you're not going to have any
real power here unless you're more careful with your anti
semitism because so much not the Democrat Party voters, but
so much of the Democrat power party elite is now
anti Semitic. I mean, Josh Shapiro would have been an
(09:23):
infinitely better choice for the dem nominee, let alone VP,
than Kamala Harris, but they were never going to go
there because he's Jewish, and they got what they deserve
for being anti Semitic.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
They got totally spanked.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I'm glad they didn't go there because he would have
been a stronger candidate, and he's fundamentally wrong on all
the big issues, but he was a more deserving candidate,
a more talented candidate, a more intelligent candidate would have
been a more successful candidate. But the Democrat Party at
the power level has become anti Semitic. But I think
they're telling Kiros back in Washington, hey, you got a
(10:00):
you got to be more careful about voicing your anti Semitism.
And so that's why I personally believe she said that
to begin with, She's just trying to make sure she
has power and influence in Democrat partly party leadership back there,
and that they don't have to distance themselves from her,
even though so.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Many of them agree with her.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
They're just not as blatant as Bottom three h three,
someone three eight two five five, d an five seven,
seven three or nine when we come back. The latest
evidence really encouraging that the exposure of Anthony Fauci, you know,
as a liar and someone who's done great harm is
now seeping into the pop culture.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
And now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Been very open about coming back for this year last rodeo,
and you talked about your wife saying, hey have another year.
Mike McCarthy being here obviously a big deal. Can you
tell us about the mindset of coming into your last season,
like that's a real thing. It feels like is everything better?
Is everything funner? Is everything more awesome? Like how do
you kind of view this year verse? Maybe the years
of the best?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Now I'm gonna plead the fifth okay.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Like like that absolute coward, Tony? Absolute?
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:23):
You got a pardon and you're in front of you and
you pleaded over a hundred times.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah at the White House?
Speaker 8 (11:27):
What are you scared of? Tony? I thought you were
the science. Yeah, yeah, I thought you or I am
science And you get up there and you can't answer
a question, Yeah, what are we doing? And how much
time does the network spend that? How much time did
they spend on my responses every week on my vaccination status?
Don Taylor at Travis's wedding.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Man, I'm so happy to hear him sale that. Aaron Rodgers.
I wonder if he'll run for office when he's done.
I gotta tell you, I'm a little surprised that Tim
Tebow has not run for office yet a little surprised,
but I think Tim Tebow, say, out of Florida, I
think he could get a US Senate seat.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I thought it would absolutely have gone that way. You
saw him post athletic career pivot into the public speaking,
and I thought, Okay, he's getting ready to launch this thing,
and it just never came. I think he's making enough
as a speaker well.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And I honestly, Zach, I don't know him personally, but
I honestly think that he's absolutely to the core.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's all about God's calling for him. And my guess
is he just.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Feels more compelled right now to do the human trafficking
work that he's doing. But you would think at some
point he would think, you know, because I think you know,
people try to analyze what gifts have been given to
try to figure out what they're meant to do, you know,
what their purpose is. And with Tebow, when you've been
given the gifts he has, which means that you have
(12:45):
pretty clear runway you know to say a US Senate
seat and maybe eventually the presidency, you would think to
have maximum impact on the issues he cares about, he
would go down that road.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I mean's he saw what he did as a quarterback, right.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He became one of the most hactful Christians in the world,
one of the most impactful.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Wonder if his thought process is, you know, the hands
on impact he's making now direct as opposed to the
indirect impact of a politician.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's always going to beat the analysis, right And for
those listening to maybe Christians, you know, that just comes
back to what he's feeling, right Like, maybe when he's
delved into the political he's not feeling the connection with
the spirit he gets when he's hands on, you know,
because like our son when when he was at school college,
(13:38):
he was at college at Ole Miss and then then
you know, went from there to Harvard Law and when
he was an old Miss he went to the Night
to Shine thing that Tim Tebow would put on, and
he was a volunteer at that and everything else. And Tebow,
from everything Joe told me, appeared to be at his
absolute happy, happiest, you know when he was there. And Joe,
by the way, took maybe the greatest photo of Tim
(14:01):
Tebow ever taken.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I'll have to show that to you, Zach, and I'll
have to post it.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It was right before the Broncos played the Steelers in
that postseason game that they won against all odds, and
Tabo accomplished all of these milestones that had the numeric
three sixteen, including some that were considered probably way way
out of reach for him, and it's something that just
really could not be accomplished without divine intervention. In fact,
(14:29):
we'll play that sound from Tebow later in the show.
But anyway, Joe took a picture of him on the
sidelines right before kickoff, maybe ten minutes before kickoff, because
it was a deal where and I won't go into
the details of it, but Joe and Caroline, because of
some good works they'd done, they were going to have
(14:50):
an opportunity to meet Tebow on the field right before
the game. Because Tebow will go and he will meet
with a handful of people who are furthering his ministry
and stuff for the game.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And then that never.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Happened because we were down on the field to meet Tebow.
But then there was this young lady, you know, who
just had undergone some really, really hard stuff. And so
I was so proud of both of them because Joe
and Caroline both said, hey, give our time to her,
and so they never did meet him. She got more
time with him, which was great. But Joe took a
(15:23):
picture of him on the sidelines helmet off talking to
that little girl right before kickoff, and you can see
these like rays from heaven coming down on Tebow.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's so cool.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But yeah, we'll dig up that sound and play it
before the end of the show where Tebow talks about
all of these things that were accomplished during the game.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh you do, do we have time or.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Let's tease it to the next segment if you don't mind,
because I don't think we have time to play it all.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
And believe me, thank you for listening to the show.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I would not be teasing it into the next segment
unless I was going to have to cut it for you.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But but yeah, I'm very surprised.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Tabo isn't into politics already because I think he would win.
He would win at least the next open Senate seat
out of Florida and have a path to the presidency.
But we will find out together. And then I do
want to address this text. And I don't understand your
tolerance of sports betting, but condemnation of marijuana. I know
(16:24):
more whose lives are ruined by gambling than by drugs.
The partnerships between sports celebrities and the gambling industry totally hypocritical.
Let's take that last sentence last, because I share some
of your concern their texture. But there's a fundamental difference
between sports betting, which does include some danger and some
actual harm, no question about it, and marijuana, because the
(16:48):
starting point difference is is marijuana is dangerous when used
as directed. And you look at the mass harm that
marijuana has done to children undeniably, and there's a reason
why Colorado was the first place in the world in
any kind of modern times to legalize marijuana the way
(17:10):
it did. It wasn't that you know that the people
pushing legal marijuana here most of them from out of state,
given big money, were somehow smarter than the whole rest
of the world combined for the last three hundred years. No,
it's because what was inflicted on Colorado was really dumb
and destructive to society.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So when you stack.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Up the harms, Okay, what do you have from sports gambling?
You have some people get hooked, and that causes emotional problems,
it causes financial problems.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It's a real deal. It's serious.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Sometimes you end up with some families that are devastated financially.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
All of that's serious. But on the marijuana side, what
do you have or you have lots of dead.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Bodies to start with on the roadways, you have teen suicides, spiking,
traumatic clee. Do you have lots of ruined kids at
least for many years. Do you have a really significant
addiction rate? Do you have a mental health crisis in
Colorado among teens that has exploded since legalization in marijuana?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, it's not even close.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast kind of.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Odd afternoon right with getting off and on. Some of
that smoke out of Utah fires different parts across the
Strait Estates, certainly in the Denver.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Metro area where we're doing the show today. Three out
three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
D an five seven seven three nine. I hope you're
also with us tomorrow. We're going to talk about something
that's really starting to take me off. In fact, it
started to take me off a long time ago, and
that is the street takeover, sometimes takeovers of the highway right.
Sometimes it's drag racers. Sometimes it's a mass numbers of
people on assorted forms of crouch rocket, et cetera. But
(19:01):
this is the broken windows theory. You cannot allow a
broken window to go unfixed, or all of the sudden,
the whole neighborhood, then the community, then the city, then
the state.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Fall apart around it. You can't allow that.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
You cannot allow takeovers of your roadways, and that leads
to a breakdown in order, and it should not be
acceptable to people in a civilized society. I'm not faulting
law enforcement. That's not the point. Law enforcement has been
underfunded and undersupported for a long time in this state,
most places. I am not faulting law enforcement. What I'm
(19:35):
saying is you got the left running a city, you're
running a state.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know, the.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Message is okay, it's all yours takeover. This is crazy,
This is craziness. We just saw it happen again over
the weekend in Denver, and the danger part of it.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I don't mean to be all pollyannish, but every now
and then I'll get stopped in traffic because there's one
of these takeovers going on down a street or something,
and I see so many young you know, like younger
people in that and you know, guys the wheelies for
two blocks at times, stuff like that, and I'm just thinking,
that's somebody's son, that's somebody's daughter on the back of
(20:12):
that bike.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
That's somebody's daughter driving that bike.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And it's like, man, I you know, you just don't
want to see people heard or killed, but you also
don't want to send the message that, yeah, law doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Just take over. You know.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It's just a larger, more concentrated form of the chaos
on the roadways you're living with every day right now.
And as I say that, Zach, I'm looking at our window.
I see some croch rocket shoot down the street at twice.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
The speed limit.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But everybody listening knows that's their common experience, and it
is not the fault of law enforcement. It's the fault
of people who won't let law enforcement enforce the law,
either by cutting their numbers not backing them up, creating
personal civiliability for officers. Yeah, break down in order. That's
(21:01):
the ticket, all right. We promised we're going to deliver.
Something got us going on the Tim Tebow topic in
the last hour, and I was just making the point
about how I'm surprised he hasn't run for public office yet,
and then I was telling the story the greatest picture
of Tebow ever taken was taken by our son Joe
on the sidelines before that Pittsburgh playoff game, and I
(21:21):
will get that posted. But in the meantime, Zach, that
was the playoff game at which a combination of things
happened that I don't think are explainable short of divine intervention.
So let's roll the tape and people can decide for themselves.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
I was playing for the Denver Broncos and we were
playing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL playoffs.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
And we win.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
It's a real moment, and it's just black. That's unbelievable.
I walk in this big room, packful of media. There's
all these curtains out front, and I'm standing in front
and Patrick arpr guy there steps in front of me.
He said, Timmy, do you realize what happened? And I'm like, yeah,
we just beat the Steelers. We're going to play the Patriots.
He's like, yeah, I know what happened. Dude, Like why
(22:04):
did you ask me such a silly question?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Then he goes, no, do you know what happened?
Speaker 9 (22:10):
And I'm like, uh, I thought I did, Patrick, what happened?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Because you could just see this different demeanor.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
And oh, he said, Timmy, Now you don't know what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Timmy.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
It's exactly three years from the night that you were
John three sixteen under your eyes.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And I'm like, oh wow, that's awesome. That's so cool.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
And he said no, no, no, you don't realize it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Timmy.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
During the game, you threw for three hundred and sixteen yards.
And I'm like what And he said, Timmy, during the game,
your yards per rush were three point one six, your
yards per completion were thirty one point six. The ratings
for the night were thirty one point six, and the
time of possession was thirty one point six. And during
(22:58):
the night over A ninety million people have google John
three sixteen. It's the number one trending thing all over.
And I think he even mentioned something about there were
so many people tweeting about it that like Twitter even
froze or something like that. At least that was what
I was told. I was standing in that hallway, and
I don't think I had the reaction that a lot
of people think I did it because I went from
(23:22):
a high and a celebration and a joy to a
conviction and a disappointment. Why because when he was telling
me that, I knew that God was convicting me, saying, Timmy,
you thought tonight was about a game. You thought it
was about all of these things. It's never just about
(23:45):
a game. But I didn't die for a game. I
was playing for the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, man, what are the chances all that just happens?
And keep in mind, because this was a subject of
a piece I wrote, I think for the Denver Post,
one of the top pieces of the year, I believe,
if I'm thinking of the right piece where I broke
down Tebow's accomplishments for a new quarterback. He'd only played
a relative handful of games over a season and a
(24:12):
half at that point, and how well he compared to
most of the NFL greats at that early point in
their career, because there's such a steep learning curve for quarterbacks,
even the greatest of the great So for Tim Tebow
to throw for three.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Hundred and sixteen yards.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Against the best I think that was the best defense
in the AFC at that time, back in those days,
that was a ton of yards. It was before all
of this kind of arena ball stuff we have now,
the spread offense and everything else. That was not done
often even by you know that the more veteran, you know,
Pro Bowl type quarterbacks. So for Tebow to have done
(24:52):
it in that game, three hundred and sixteen yards with a.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Bronco team that was far from one of the best.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Against the Steeler defense, and then they have that three
point to one six and yards brush thirty one point
six what are the odds?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, powerful stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I what do you think the odds would be on
that sack of all of that happening just coincidentally, and
by the way, for those not familiar, they're the significance.
And Teaba talking about what three years says he wore
John three sixteen on his EyeBlack and in the Bowl game,
and and that got ninety million, ninety million hits three
sixteen for those who may not be Christian, John three
(25:37):
sixteen for God so loved the world that he gave
his only sons so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish, but may have eternal life. So that
the significance of John three sixteen. Wow, Yeah, Texter, Dan,
Tim Tebow will be one of the guest speakers at
Life Surge August twenty ninth at Magnus Arena. That is
(26:00):
awesome and I know he never disappoints as a speaker, Dan.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Some of these just get too long, Dan.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
How racist of the mom Dami to require ID to
buy groceries many women will and people of color will starve.
There such hypocrites that from Alexa. Yeah, because America knows
this is total bs. When the Democrats are saying, oh
if we passes, say that people won't be able to
vote Americans across party lines, yet they want people to
(26:35):
voter ID text or Dan Clay Travis offered ten million
to the WNBA to play a high school boys state
championship team Boy That's one of the reasons I like
Clay Travis and what he's talking about here is we
have this epidemic now of WNBA coaches who just say, hey,
(26:56):
that they don't know enough to know whether other biological
men should be able to play women's basketball. Really, I
like Klay Travis's idea. Here's here's the coach of, here's
the coach of, in fact, Caitlin Clark's team, the Indiana Fever.
And you've got to wonder, don't you think she just
(27:17):
felt like she was demeaning herself giving this answer? What
is your stance on men are athletes who test as
biological male participating in women's sports?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
What's your personal stance?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I don't know that I would
say that I'm educated enough from a scientific standpoint.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
What more would you need to know? Really, what more
would you need to know?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't ever believe that exclusion is an answer.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
No, I don't believe exclusions the answer. I mean, that's
where she just both of those demean herself so much.
Exclusion is never the answer. Okay, so you're gonna let
men just walk into your shower there, You're gonna let
men play in the WNBA. I love Clay Travis's point
because listen, I respect the women who play. I respect
how hard they train. I respect the effort. I don't
(28:01):
care if it's little six year old girls or people
in the WNBA. I respect all that. But for them
to now, why would this league, which has always struggled,
why would it now just hitch its fate to this
lie that a man who says he's a woman is
really a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Why would they hitch their fate to that. That's what I.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Don't get because I respect the people who play, but
they have got to know.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
For example, Zach, I don't know if I ever told
you this.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I was up and I was just playing a pickup
game on Sunday morning at the men's gym atu see
you Boulder, and.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I was up there with my usual group of buddies.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Somebody came by and they said, Hey, would you guys
come over to the Cours Events Center and scrimmage?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Sure? We love took go play in the course of
events center. I can't.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I want to make sure I get this right, and
I'm not sure I have a clear enough memory. I'm
pretty sure it was women's Olympic team or a national team,
a women's national team of some sort.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But it was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Practicing at the course of Ents Center on a Sunday morning.
We said, sure, we'll go play, and we're a bunch
of scrubs and we must have beat them by one
hundred points and they're elite and we're nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And it doesn't take anything away from them.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It just goes to the truth about the athletic advantage
that men have, that that doesn't discount the accomplishment of
women at all. But for these coaches to perpetuate that lie, no,
I hope some men try to play in the WNBA.
I hope they force their hand here on The Dan Caplis.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Show and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Is there a way for law enforcement to effectively stop
these street takeovers? And it's not really about law enforcement.
You know, they're always going to do their job well
if they're given the resources they need. It's a question
about political will you know what would be and we're
blessed with a low law enforcement in the audience, what
would tactically be the way to shut down these street takeovers?
(30:05):
We just saw another big one in Denver and it's
not right, and it's dangerous and it sends the wrong message.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
And this has not happened in the past. This is
a new phenomena.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Of leftist rule where it's okay, you know, violate the
law will Yeah, and very very.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Bad for a society.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Hey, speaking of bad for a society, these crazy socialists.
The only silver lining is it gives the GOP in
Colorado a chance to get back in the game because
you have a whole lot of people voting Democrat who
don't want socialism. And then nationally, it gives a GOP
a opening to just wipe out the Democrats at least
much more so than we normally see in America today,
(30:44):
even though it's trending republican. Yeah, this is an opportunity
nationally to make some big, big gains in urry because
the Dems are just exposing themselves. I mean literally, Yeah,
they are so many of the elected ones socialists, but
now they're just coming out in the open. With the
reason I mentioned all this is melt Kiros the new
voice and face of the Democrats in Colorado. Open socialists
(31:06):
to knocked off Diana to get she just apologized for
saying something positive about Israel. And so I'll play the
beginning national interview on PBS and you'll hear it start
with the with the interviewer just saying, Hey, by the way,
have you ever actually been to Israel?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
And she says no.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
So all this hate and she's never even been there,
or apparently to the region what she been doing and.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
To Israel or anywhere in the region, would it change
your mind or open your perspectives if you did, I'm
sure it.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Would, right, And you know, part of the work that
we've been doing here as well as having conversations with
the Jewish community, specifically designing this Jewish community to better
understand different perspectives, different positions, different experiences. You know, again,
my values have always been rooted in protecting dagnity and
safety for every.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Single person up to see the other, especially as.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
It relates to these analienable things about our religion or
ethnicity or culture. And my greatest concern right now is
that the State of Israel is.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Losing support.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Well that's our greatest concern right now, that the State
of Israel is losing support. That would be a one
eighty and I would be thrilled to see it and
those kind of conversions can and do happen when people
is going, When people are going from the wrong immoral
position to the correct moral position.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
We see it all the time. I've done it myself.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
That's a sign of a healthy human If this is
a true change, Now we know it's not because she
came out and apologized for that later, and I put
apology in quotes because it's so surreal. Here's a malak
kiros I fumbled this line, plain and simple, playing PLA
and E and simple. To be clear, my foreign policy
priority is ending Israel's occupation, apartheid and genocide and Palestine.
(32:59):
First of all, the big there's no Israeli genocide in Palestine.
They obviously the Jewish people were the victims of a
genocide and another attempt at genocide on October seven.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
So no, that's a big lie.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But the point being, how do you reconcile that with
her saying her greatest concern is that Israel's losing support
Because there are lots of people who support Israel and
always have who have a concern that Israel is losing
support and they don't want to see Israel loose support
worldwide because Israel is such a great nation, a great people,
(33:33):
a critical beacon for freedom. They don't want to see
Israel loose support. So how do you go from saying
that to say, no, my top priority is stopping their
genocide when that's a big lie. It's one of the
worst lies on the face of the earth. Yeah, So
why do you think she said it? To begin with
my working theory, And I'm sure we're going to be
(33:55):
talking more about this because she is the voice of
the party now here.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I truly my best guess, and we're going to try
to get her on. My best guess is that.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
The people in DC told her, hey, you're not going
to have a leadership position here unless.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
You're more careful with your anti semitism.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And I'm not saying they said it exactly that way,
because leadership in the Democratic Party, unlike most Democrats, has
become very anti Semitic, to the point they cut their
own throat by not having Josh Shapiro as either their
replacement for Joe Biden or as Harris's VP. He would
have been superior on both counts exponentially, but because of
(34:39):
their power lead to anti Semitism, they couldn't go there.
So I think hers is probably just way too much
out in the open for their taste, and so I
think she's trying to maneuver into a more powerful position
in DC just by toning down her anti Semitism a
little bit. But then she apologized for even the exact
(35:00):
great job, man, have a great evening, Catch it tomorrow.
