This episode of the Dan Caplis Show is a thought-provoking discussion about the one hundred and fifty most influential people in Colorado history. The Denver Post recently released a list of the top one hundred and fifty, but the speaker has some major issues with its political bias. He argues that the list is skewed towards certain individuals who don't necessarily deserve to be there, while others who have made significant contributions to the state are left out.
The speaker highlights several examples of people who he believes should be on the list, including Bill Owens, a two-term governor with a long list of accomplishments, and Julia Greeley, a former slave who became known as the Angel of Denver for her charitable work. He also mentions Kendrick Castillo, a student who gave his life to save his classmates and teachers during a school shooting. On the other hand, he questions why Mason Tvert, a mouthpiece for the marijuana industry, made the list while these individuals did not.
The speaker also touches on the topic of Anthony Fauci, discussing a recent revelation that he may have been involved in a scandal involving a lab in Wuhan, China. He shares a humorous take on the situation, referencing a joke from John Stewart about the lab's name being the same as the disease it was supposed to be studying.
The speaker invites listeners to share their thoughts on who they think should be on the list of the one hundred and fifty most influential people in Colorado history. He also asks for their opinions on whether Anthony Fauci should face consequences for his actions, and whether the list's political bias is a problem.
Tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's full discussion and share your thoughts on the one hundred and fifty most influential people in Colorado history.

You know, so funny day, Zach. So many people are saying, man,
it's so hot. It's so hot on air, and I'm thinking,
(00:22):
what wait a second, Like two months from today, it'll
probably be snowing. Right, it's a beautiful summer. We don't
even have humidity here. What is it about human nature?
And I'm as guiltier more than anybody. What is it
about human nature when when we're so focused on what's
wrong and we can't seem to focus on the million
(00:42):
more things that are right. It's really interesting that way. Yeah,
I personally, I think part of our test, part of
our challenge, is to overcome that little oddity. But it's
a gorgeous colora afternoon most of the country right now.
What do you think it is, Zach? Ninety something out there?
Ninety three or ninety four maybe, yeah, But like I said,
it's try, It's not that that h where else in
(01:05):
the country handful of places, most of the rest of
the country. If it's ninety three or ninety four, you're
just a faucet. You're just like a walking fire hose,
you know, just spinning off moisture. And yeah, that the
whole humidity thing. I wonder how many Colorados have never
really experienced it. It's nasty. I couldn't believe it when
I came out here from Chicago and somebody said, somebody said,
(01:29):
it's ninety five degrees. I said, where it couldn't have.
It felt like seventy here ninety five in Chicago. The
cold doesn't feel as cold, the hot doesn't feel as hot. Yeah, yeah,
my goodness. No, we are so lucky here anyway. But
isn't that weird to think about? Isn't that eight, you know,
eight weeks from now could very well be snowing. That
(01:50):
is so weird. But glad football is on the way,
Always very happy when that talk football starts. Now, two
quick things in football, and one is listen, if they
really cared about safety, and the league has proven a
million times they don't care about safety, college doesn't care
about safety one little bit. If they really cared about safety,
the first thing they do would make face mask subject
(02:13):
to instant replay, because you want to talk about endangering safety, concussions,
neck injuries, etc. It's people grabbing face masks. Be the
easiest thing in the world to pick up an instant replay,
one of the hardest things for an official to pick
up on the field. But they don't add it to
instant replay. They just don't care about safety. All right,
got that done. The other thing about football is, come on,
(02:36):
the NFL should start later. You should not be playing
NFL games in ninety degree heats somewhere. And we missed
the NFL when it's gone in early February. Started later,
ended at the end of February. Yeah, that's what's meant
to be a cold weather, bad weather sport. Yeah. And
you know, when you actually look at climates around the
(02:56):
country and everything else, you know they're playing these big
playoff games in mid January. You saw Rams and Bears
and what five or ten below about Broncos Patriots right here, right,
But by the time you get to the end of January,
you're starting to turn the corner to better weather. Anyway.
So anyway, those are my two quick football points plus
(03:17):
I expect very good seasons for Sea Buffs and also
for CSU with their great new head coach Jim Moore,
one of my favorite coaches ever. And I'm you know, hey,
I was calling for Prime to come here before anybody
first mentioned it, and thank goodness, he did so. Lots
of fun ahead. I do want to talk to you
today about who are the one hundred and fifty most
(03:37):
influential people in Colorado history? Not walking around today in
Colorado history because the Denver Posts did that. They did
since it's our one hundred and fiftieth anniversary, right, they
did the one hundred and fifty most influential, and there are
some good names on it, but it's obviously just so
politically skewed, and I want to break that down for you,
and that kind of bugs me because I'm not nigh eve.
(04:00):
I understand everybody has a political leaning, but certain things
should be above that, separated from that, and when you're
sitting down to identify as a journalistic outlet the one
hundred and fifty most influential, that should be straight up.
There'll always be some disagreement because there's been more than
one hundred and fifty, but it shouldn't be so obviously
(04:21):
politically skewed. And I'll get to that in a second.
So we'll be talking about that during the show today.
So much more I want to get to with you,
But it's going to be a lightning docket kind of
day because there's so much going on in the world
locally and nationally. I want to hit on a lot
in a hurry, and then if there's something you care about,
we'll spend more time on it. Three oh three seven
one three eight two five five DN five seven seven
(04:45):
three nine Texter says Dan, I think fo Stanley should
have been on the Colorado one fifty list. He was
a brilliant engineer and co founded the Stanley Motor Carriage
Company Kmdsy's Park after being diagnosed with tubercul built the
Grand Stanley Hotel, and used his carriage to transport visitors
from the train hotel. What a cool story and it
(05:09):
goes on from there that from our friend Alexa, Yeah,
that guy sounds pretty deserving. I'll tell you who else
is really deserving and who's not on the list. How
do you do a one hundred and fifty most influential
in Colorado history and not have bill Owens, two term governor,
the only Republican governor in the last fifty or sixty years.
(05:31):
But he built so much, you know, like I twenty five,
the whole Corridor expansion, everything else. How do you not
at bill Owens on the list? That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
If if you didn't have all the accomplishments, it'd be
one case. But he was a very productive.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Governor, very productive governor with with national influence as well.
So how do you not at bill Owens on the
list unless it's political influence. And then at the same time,
you have Mason Tvert on the list. And I say
this with the faction because I have the show many
many times. But a total clown, total clown. He is
(06:04):
a guy. I mean, I haven't seen her talk to
Mason in years. Who knows, you may have become, you know,
the most whatever impressive guy. But back in the days
when he was the mouthpiece for the marijuana industry, you know,
leading the campaign in Colorado, Colorado had voted down legalized
marijuana twice by large margins, and then a whole bunch
(06:26):
of hard left money came in and swamped the issue,
and Mason Tvert just happened to be their mouthpiece. But
with all due respect to clown, and you have him
on the list. Listen, if you want to say, okay,
one of the most notable things in Colorado history is
the legalization of marijuana. You're right, because it's one of
(06:47):
the most disastrous. But if you're going to put somebody
on the list, put Bell Maher on the list. He's
the guy who raised over a million bucks to come
in and pass that issue, along with a bunch of
other lefties. So give me a break a list that
doesn't have Bill Owens but does have Mason Tvert. I mean,
that's just an example of how political it is. But
(07:09):
I want to hear from you on the positive side,
just who should be on the list. I think it's
cool that the post endeavored to do it. I just
wish they'd done it in a politically neutral way. But
I think it's appropriate to be talking about the one
hundred and fifty most influential. Who would you put on
the list? And then how do you have a list
of the one hundred and fifty most influential and not
(07:29):
have Dave Logan? How do you not have Dave Logan?
I mean, if it just both impact and longevity and
public impactors, very public roles. Colorado kid drafted in all
three sports, played at CU, eventually played for the Broncos,
(07:52):
won all these state championship but coached all these kids,
and he's been the voice of the Broncos and done
a radio show for decades. Being honest about influence and impact,
how do you not have Dave Logan on the list?
If you did a poll combination popularity and name recognition,
who would top that? So? How's he not on the list?
(08:13):
But this one? This one, my friend, how do you
not have Kendrick Castillo on the list. I mean, there's
a reason you've got highway signs for him that they're
a major street name. To all this other stuff you
talk about influence, the epitome of everything that we admire
as Coloraden's across party lines. He gave his life to
(08:38):
save his classmates and teachers from being slaughtered. The evidence
is in they were going to execute every one of
them methodically because they locked out the rescuers. But Kendrick
Castillo gave his life to save them all. How do
you not have him on the list? But you have
Mason Tvert? Yeah? So anyway, but love you thoughts on
(09:00):
who should be on those because there's so many cool
stories out there, and I also want to focus on
the positive side of that. So we got all that
going for us, and then we were able to obtain
this exclusive tape of Anthony Fauci taking the fifth in
the closed door part of the hearing.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Sir, is it true you were a crack cocaine dealer
for seven years?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I pleaded the fifth? Will you tell us about the
cartels you dealt with in your time as a crack
cocaine dealer?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
But I can tell you that I plead the physicist
exactly how much money did you earn in your time
as a crack cocaine dealer?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Said?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
There so many amendments in the Constitution.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Of the United States of A.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Where'd you get that tape sacked? That's pretty good work
because those hearings say, you know, those closed door sessions
are supposed to be private, sources close to the situation,
sources close, yes, yes, and thank you to Dave Chappelle
as well. Three or three seven, one, three, eight, two
five five. So welcome back, and let's start with at
least who would you put on the one hundred and
(10:41):
fifty most influential in Colorado history. As we approach that
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. You're on the Dankpla.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
What do you mean by do you mean like there's
a chance of the creating a lab as an investigation?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
A chance? This is John Stuart, by the way, with
Stephen Colbert, and you know Stuart's left him not but
really respect his courage because this was at a time
when they were canceling anybody who who questioned the big lies,
and so Stuart had the guts to go on Colbert's
show and do it. And in view of the busting
(11:22):
of Anthony Fauci, I think it's an appropriate time to
savor this evidence. I'd love to hear it.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking wu Han, China.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
What do we do?
Speaker 10 (11:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You know who?
Speaker 9 (11:37):
We could ask the wu Han novel respiratory coronavirus lab.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
The disease is the same name as the lab.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
That's just that's just a little true weird, don't you think?
And then they ass those scientists, they're like, how did this?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So wait a minute, you work at the wu Han.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Respiratory coronavirus lab.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
How did this happen?
Speaker 9 (11:58):
And they're like, oh, tango in kissed the turtle and
they're like, no, the name of your lab. If you
look at the name, look at the name.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Can I let me see your business card? Show me
your business card?
Speaker 9 (12:13):
Oh, I work at the coronavirus.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Lab in wu An.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
Oh, because there's a coronavirus loucen wu An.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
How did that happen?
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Maybe a bat flew into the piloaka of the Turkey and.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Then it sneezed into my chili and.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
Now we all have coronavirus?
Speaker 10 (12:35):
Like okay, okay, what about this?
Speaker 8 (12:38):
What about this?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Wait a second, Oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 9 (12:45):
There's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What do you think happened? Like, Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
Maybe a six steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean,
or it's the chocolate.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Maybe that's it. That could be.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
That could be, That could be I gave them all tuberculosis.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
That could that could very well be.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
And Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins and Aniateer said like
you should definitely be investigated.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Stop with the logic and people and things, even the disease.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
Wait a second, Wait a second, building, Wait a second.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
But I think it could be possible. You could be right.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
It could be possible that they have the lab in
Wuhan to study the novel coronavirus diseases because in Wohan
there are a lot of novel coronavirus diseases because of
the bat population.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I understand the specialty.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
And it's the only place to find backs.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You won't find backs and rock.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Say Oway, Austin, Texas has thousands of them that fly
out of the cave every night. Every night it does.
Is there a coronavirus? An Austin coronavirus doesn't seem to
be an Austin coronavirus. The only coronavirus we have is
in wool Hand, where.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
They have a lab called what's the lab called? Against
the woe Hand novel coronavirus? Last and how long have you?
That is your genius right, because first you start with
the courage, because you remember, you remember the day when
he Mafaugi himself said it, if you questioned me, you
questioned science. And then you had all the lefty minions
(14:32):
who control the media, and they wanted Fauci and treated
him like god because he was helping them bring down
Trump by making it as disruptive as possible. So for
John Stewart to have the courage to go out there
and do it, and then the ability to do it
with humor like that, that's just real genius, Real men
of genius, right there, Real men of genius. What was that?
(14:55):
That was Budweiser that used to do the real men
of genius thing. I'm pretty sure that's right. I'll double show. Okay,
the saxactly looked help for us, oh man. So we're
talking about the one hundred and fifty most influential people
in Colorado history because the Post did that as a feature,
which was a great concept, except it was so slanted politically. Now,
(15:16):
a lot of people on there who deserve it, there's
no doubt about that. We have a Texter Dan Senator
Bill Armstrong should be on the list, and he is,
and he absolutely should be. But there are a bunch
of people who absolutely should be you aren't, and some
who obviously shouldn't be who are And I think it's
pure politics. And I gave one example of the aren't
(15:36):
who or should not be Mason Tevert that kind of
in my constitutionally protected opinion, knuckle had buffoon spokesperson for
big Marijuana. He isn't the reason we have legalized marijuana
in Colorado, which has been a disaster. It's the big
money people who brought in the millions to swamp the
issue after Colorado had voted it down twice. But here's
(16:00):
that's another one. I mean, what's going on here? We
also don't have unless I had mentioned obvious ones who
should be you know, Bill Owens, Kendrick Castillo, and then
I had mentioned Dave Logan as well. How about this one?
How about Julia Greeley? How do you not have Julia
Greeley on the list? I mean, this is a former
(16:21):
slave settled in Denver after the Civil War, a devout
Catholic known as Denver's Angel of Charity, famous for quietly
delivering food, clothing, and fuel the poor families, often at
night so they would not be embarrassed. And she's on
the paths of sainthood. How is Julia Greeley who went
(16:46):
from being a slave, a female slave, to on the
paths of sainthood for stuff she did in Denver? How
Denver post is she not on the list? But to
vert the mouthpiece of big marijuana. Is anybody see a
(17:07):
pattern here? Can anybody explain this? Bill Owens na a
Kendrick Estillo, not a Julia Greeley, not a How about
Colonel Stafford let the Denver Archdiocese during one of the
(17:28):
most major and transformative events in Colorado history. World you tay,
Pope John Paul the Great comes to Denver. It's a
worldwide event. It transformed Denver in very tangible, lasting ways,
including a major turnaround in the crime rate. Right afterwards,
Andy went on to be the third most powerful official
(17:51):
in the Vatican for years. He's not on.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
The list, But Mason tvert is marijuana is for the alcohol?
And then yeah, right, wow, I.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Just wish, Zach, I wish there's something that politics could
be kept out of. You would think an occasion like
the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the state.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Sebastions, this is where we don't have to deal with
all this nonsense.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, we should do a show completely devoid of politics. Someday.
Let's pick a day and do that. I do you
think we can do it? I think we can do
it and not sports would be too easy a default.
And Zach actually does his sports show and I would
love to. I think I'd be very good at that, Zach.
(18:42):
I think if you compare like my sports predictions over
the last three decades to all of the true experts,
who I respect is experts, and what do you think
would win that one? You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Show, You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Ray where did those go?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah? And Bud used to be so good on those,
remember the old dad. I love you, man, you can't
have my bud light. I mean where did the humor
go or the camel anything that's good anymore?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You know, if you look at all the marketing now is
so bland, Like even the Super Bowl ads are so weak.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
All your super Bowl ads had just gone down the toilet.
I mean, why is everybody just feeding everything in the AI?
Is everybody so scared of making some group mad? I mean, yeah,
you would think that we would be improving our humor
as a society. Yeah, maybe somebody out there is the answer.
(19:51):
If you do, text it to me. D A N
five seven seven VIC Fangio, a great defensive coordinator, not
so much had coach, but really happy to hear him
say this. He's the Philadelphia Eagles DC. He said this,
I think this morning. What's the plan at safety is
that marks as Jablos.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
I'm going to be like Fauci and just take the
Fifth Amendment on on questions.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Did you guys say that? Oh my god, what was
the question? I love that love in the culture. And
it goes to a text we have here a Texter
who is saying, I'll find it. We have so many texts,
so I'll paraphrase it. He's saying, Dan, you're not going
(20:38):
to be able to deter the kind of horrible conduct
we saw from Fauci in the future just by him
getting embarrassed. So you know, the implication being there needs
to be jail time, et cetera. Obviously Biden or his
autopen prevented that. At the federal level. State charges I
think are going to be a lot tougher. Somebody told
(20:59):
me Florida AG's looking into it. But yeah, do you
think he should go to jail? And that's a really
big thing to say, right, Do you think that Fauci
needs to go to jail in order to have justice
be done here and then protect the nation in the future. Now,
obviously the premise of that question is that it would
(21:19):
be a proper prosecution, that there in fact would be
a criminal statute that was violated, and you can prove
it beyond a reasonable doubt, et cetera. But so many
people saying he needs to be in jail. I get
the frustration, I get the anger. The amount of harm
he did is almost incalculable. It was mass medical malpractice
on a scale the world may have never seen before.
(21:42):
Why I don't want to say that on the scale
dates has never seen before. Yeah, three or three he's
someone three eight two five five, d N five seven
seven three nine. I've got to tell you, I'm not
sitting here feeling that Fauci needs to be in jail.
What I feel is that it's really critical that all
Americans know the truth about him, because I think these
(22:06):
big revelations coming in the middle of summer are getting
missed by a lot of folks. So I just think
it's important every American know the truth about him, and
that people remember the elected officials, the people in media
who treated him as a god. We all make mistakes,
but that that should be weighed when it comes to
who you're going to trust. And I bought into it.
I've told you that I bought into him for the
(22:28):
first few weeks, and then it became pretty clear. It
became pretty clear what we're dealing with and called it
out as such. Speaking of which great work by Zach.
He was able to get some audio from the closed
door session of the Fauci testimony, and it's really really compelling.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Sir, Is it true you were a crack cocaine dealer
for seven years?
Speaker 10 (22:55):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I pleaded the films.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Sure will you tell us about the cartels you dealt
with in your time as a crack cocaine dealer?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
No, but I can tell you that I plead the
physicist exactly how much money did you earn in your
time as a crack cocaine dealer?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I said, there so many am invents in the Constitution
of the United States of a little choose one lead
(23:39):
the file the.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Film one three?
Speaker 6 (23:48):
How you think it?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Go ahead, ask me a question. Did you a secret
document that I think you need? The same might be
all good afternoon. I got your sentences reduced to him.
A good work Zach that it'd be hard to get.
(24:16):
I have some sources, you know, I have a regular
woodword in Bernstein. Yeah. No, good, great, great job there.
I think you're better than that. And so is Dave
Chappelle three or three, seven, one, three, eight, two, five, five,
d an five, seven, seventh through nine. And hey, getting
back to this most influential one hundred and fifty in
Colorado history if you just joined us. We've been talking
(24:36):
about the Denver Post list, which is a total joke.
I mean, don't get me wrong. There are a bunch
of people on there who should be on there, but
there are a whole bunch of people who should be
and aren't, and then you've got other people who obviously
should not be. So once again, politics skewed the whole thing.
And it's like, is nothing sacred. We're talking about the
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the state. We're talking
(24:59):
about a man. We're talking about a newspaper, the Denver Post.
It's been a major part of the state's history.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
So just this.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Once, get the politics out of it. Just be straight
up historical. You want more evidence, it's a politically skewed joke.
I mean, I've talked about the people they left out,
and I've gone into great detail on them. How do
you leave Bill Owens off? Julia Greeley, former slave known
as the Angel of Denver for all her great works
(25:28):
and now she's on the path to sainthood? Speaking of which,
how do you leave Kendrick Castillo off? Gave his life
to save an entire classroom of teachers and students and
now an inspiration to many. And then you put Mason
tvert On a mouthpiece for the marijuana industry. But Zach,
I'm going to drop the ace right here. And this
(25:51):
completely destroys any defense the Post might attempt to mount
for its list. And it proves your honor beyond any doubt,
not just a shadow of a doubt, to a one certainty,
which by the way, the prosecution is not required to meet.
But it proves to that level that the Post list
(26:13):
is political political. How about this one? All those people
I just mentioned to are left off? Bill Owens, Julia Greeley,
Kendrick Castillo, Dave Logan. Who do they put on Cardinal Stafford?
And I went through that World Youth Day all of that.
(26:35):
Who do they put on the list? Dotty Lamb, Dotty Lamb,
you are probably saying to yourself, who the blank is
Dotty Lamb? Well, let me tell you who she is?
Really nice lady. I loved it when I was around
Dotty Lamb. Our politics could not be more different. She
(26:55):
was like a crazed, far far far left abortion extremist.
But I enjoyed her. Neat lady. But Dottie Lamb, she
never won an office. She was a fine first lady.
But you're gonna put Dotty Lamb on the list ahead
(27:19):
of Bill Owens, a two term governor with a long
list of accomplishments. What is the difference between the two? Hm?
What could it be?
Speaker 10 (27:29):
Zach?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Doddy Lamb Democrat, bell owns two term governor, a lot
of accomplishments, national figure, ah Republican. That's his big mistake,
Dotty Lamb. That proves everything you need to know about
the list. Now, Dick Lamb, he should beat her at
the top of the list. And I disagree with Dick
(27:51):
Lamb on virtually every political issue, but talk about major
influence in Colorado, Dick Lamb, the governor had it, you bet?
And remind me, Zach sometime to tell you my Dick
lamb story. It's pretty hilarious. Let's go to Jay and
wheat Ridge here on the dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Welcome, hy Ded. Always good to hear you, man, Thank you.
I agree with you a lot and I disagree with
you a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You should get married.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Hey, do you want to know I'm very happy about flowers.
I've got a couple flowers.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I never should have started that.
Speaker 10 (28:28):
Oh yeah, to expect yes, but uh, the list does
say influential, and Mason Tippert was incredibly in the wind.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Can you give me a favorite? Since you disagree, Jay,
I want to give you all the time you want,
and we are up against a hard heart break, so
let's come back. I'll look forward to that call because
I think Mason Tivert, you know, with affection he was
on the show a bunch is just a total clown
and just a total clown, intellectually dishonest in my constitutionally
protected opinion, mouth piece for big marijuana. And he's on
(29:02):
the list. I had a Bill Owens, Julia Greeley, Kendrick Castillo,
Dave Logan. Yeah, what does that tell you? You're on the
Dankpla Show.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Now back to the dan Kapler show podcast.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
There's a chance that this is creating a lab as
an investigation.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
A chance well evidence. I'd love to hear the novel.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Respiratory coronavirus overtaking wu Han China.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
What do we do?
Speaker 10 (29:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
You know who?
Speaker 9 (29:33):
We could ask the wu Han novel Respiratory coronavirus lab.
The disease is the same name as the labs.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
A great riff from John Stewart. We played it earlier,
Will played again because it was so courageous and so brilliant.
Hey appreciate. Chase Colley just agrees with me on this
Denver Post list. They did one hundred and fifty most influential,
and they left out a lot of really obvious people
who should have been in the top fifty, let alone
the top one hundred and fifty. And then they included
(30:05):
a Mason to Vert, who I view as a clownish
mouthpiece for big marijuana. And Jay disagrees completely. Is that fair?
Speaker 10 (30:13):
Jay?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Not just a little bit, but completely on that one.
Speaker 10 (30:17):
I really do good. Here's something I'll make my case
this way a bit. If we did the most influence
anybody's had on America in ten years. Satan slash Fauci
would have to be on the list. But we don't
like him. He's he's a worthless pos he's pure evil.
(30:38):
We hate him, basically, most of us. We can't stand
something like that. But influence, man, did he have it?
Mason Tvert an idiot, a loud mouth. My god, I
just go on and on and on, and he's terrible,
but he sure did have a lot of influence he
did Colorado.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Well, here's where I respectfully disagree. I mean, and first,
I don't hate feut to you this or that. And
Mason and I actually, you know, I say this with
affection because I had him on the show countless times.
But he's just a buffoon who, in my constitously protective opinion,
which would just make stuff up, you know, to be
the mouthpiece for marijuana. And that doesn't mean everything he
(31:22):
said was wrong, but a lot cheer was. But the
point I'm making is Mason Devert didn't have any influence
at all. It was the big money groups that poured
all of that big money into Colorado, These big money
leftist groups, they saw the opportunity here. Even though voters,
as you probably remember, Jay had voted down legal marijuana
buy wide Margins twice and then they saw their opportunity
(31:45):
with I think it was hicken Looper at the time,
and then they poured all these millions. That's where the
influence came from. I mean, they won in spite of
Mason Divert, not because of him. So that's one of
my gripes there. And I want to get to the
your your great question Jay about hey, is this like
Time magazine where sometimes their person of the Year is
(32:05):
is like the epitome of evil on the face of
the earth, because they're just looking at maximum impact. That's
not what what the Post was saying here the way
I read, you know, their their criteria for this. In
preparation for Colorado's one hundred and fiftieth anniversary, the Denver
Posts sought to identify the one hundred and fifty most
influential or notable Coloradens and and then it goes on
(32:30):
from there. But it's not what's.
Speaker 10 (32:33):
That or notable? That's very different.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
You know, they're they're yeah, yeah, but but still, no
matter what your criteria is going to be, how do
you not have Bill Owens on it? But instead you
have Dottie Lambs far more influenced now Dick Lamb as governor.
This is not a gender thing. It's who who was
governor and who wasn't. Dick Lamb should be on the list.
A very influential governor, different politics in mine, but a
(33:02):
stand up guy. He would come on and he would
debate the big issues. He wasn't afraid of his shadow
like these modern Democrats. But how do you have first
Lady Dotting Lamb ahead of two term Republican Governor Bill Owens.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
He'd be the Denver post.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, right right, Hey, thanks, Jay, appreciate that. Three or
three seven, one, three eight two five five d an
five seven seven three nine. But we're light of candle
people around here, So I just want to get your
take on who should be on the list on the
positive side, because it is a big deal. You know,
to hit one fifty, that's a big deal. So who
(33:38):
should be on that list? Yeah, Zach, your perspective was
a twenty something. Who should be at the top of
that list? Who's the single most I'd like to hear
this from people too, the single most influential person in
Colorado history. Man, that's so tough.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Like I'm sports brained, obviously, I go to l Way
you highlighted Logan. I think that's a good one. You mentioned,
you know, him being a voice, this incredible athlete. I
think it's also worth noting, you know, he's the most
prolific high school football coach in this state.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Think about how many.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
You know, the kids' lives who have gone on to
be great athletes or great business people, you know, coming
from schools like Mullen Cherry Creek that are so wonderful.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I think he's up there.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
I'm trying to think through my historic Coloradden's right now,
I'm not all we save.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I'm biased right because our son quarterback is championship first
championship team, state championship team at Creek, their first state
championship in twenty years. So he's had an impact on
a lot of kids over the years. But I do
wonder what people would say about numeral Uno the single
most influential person in Colorado history. Who would that be?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Was the post list ranked or was it just a
list of one hundred just just a random list of
one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
There were some very very very deserving names on it.
It's just Dotty Lamb. Then you leave off Bill Owens,
Julia Greally, former slave, became the Angel of Denver on
the way to sainthood. You leave off Kendrick Castillo, you
(35:20):
leave off Cardinal Stafford, and you put Dottie Lamb and
Mason to burn on. But I'd really love to hear
from you. We've got a lot more to do in
the five o'clock hourd than just this, but I'd love
to hear from you on who would your number one
be the number one most influential person in Colorado history.
We're coming up on one fifty, not a spring chicken.
(35:42):
I think we need to figure out who's number one.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.

You know, so funny day, Zach. So many people are saying, man,
it's so hot. It's so hot on air, and I'm thinking,
(00:22):
what wait a second, Like two months from today, it'll
probably be snowing. Right, it's a beautiful summer. We don't
even have humidity here. What is it about human nature?
And I'm as guiltier more than anybody. What is it
about human nature when when we're so focused on what's
wrong and we can't seem to focus on the million
(00:42):
more things that are right. It's really interesting that way. Yeah,
I personally, I think part of our test, part of
our challenge, is to overcome that little oddity. But it's
a gorgeous colora afternoon most of the country right now.
What do you think it is, Zach? Ninety something out there?
Ninety three or ninety four maybe, yeah, But like I said,
it's try, It's not that that h where else in
(01:05):
the country handful of places, most of the rest of
the country. If it's ninety three or ninety four, you're
just a faucet. You're just like a walking fire hose,
you know, just spinning off moisture. And yeah, that the
whole humidity thing. I wonder how many Colorados have never
really experienced it. It's nasty. I couldn't believe it when
I came out here from Chicago and somebody said, somebody said,
(01:29):
it's ninety five degrees. I said, where it couldn't have.
It felt like seventy here ninety five in Chicago. The
cold doesn't feel as cold, the hot doesn't feel as hot. Yeah, yeah,
my goodness. No, we are so lucky here anyway. But
isn't that weird to think about? Isn't that eight, you know,
eight weeks from now could very well be snowing. That
(01:50):
is so weird. But glad football is on the way,
Always very happy when that talk football starts. Now, two
quick things in football, and one is listen, if they
really cared about safety, and the league has proven a
million times they don't care about safety, college doesn't care
about safety one little bit. If they really cared about safety,
the first thing they do would make face mask subject
(02:13):
to instant replay, because you want to talk about endangering safety, concussions,
neck injuries, etc. It's people grabbing face masks. Be the
easiest thing in the world to pick up an instant replay,
one of the hardest things for an official to pick
up on the field. But they don't add it to
instant replay. They just don't care about safety. All right,
got that done. The other thing about football is, come on,
(02:36):
the NFL should start later. You should not be playing
NFL games in ninety degree heats somewhere. And we missed
the NFL when it's gone in early February. Started later,
ended at the end of February. Yeah, that's what's meant
to be a cold weather, bad weather sport. Yeah. And
you know, when you actually look at climates around the
(02:56):
country and everything else, you know they're playing these big
playoff games in mid January. You saw Rams and Bears
and what five or ten below about Broncos Patriots right here, right,
But by the time you get to the end of January,
you're starting to turn the corner to better weather. Anyway.
So anyway, those are my two quick football points plus
(03:17):
I expect very good seasons for Sea Buffs and also
for CSU with their great new head coach Jim Moore,
one of my favorite coaches ever. And I'm you know, hey,
I was calling for Prime to come here before anybody
first mentioned it, and thank goodness, he did so. Lots
of fun ahead. I do want to talk to you
today about who are the one hundred and fifty most
(03:37):
influential people in Colorado history? Not walking around today in
Colorado history because the Denver Posts did that. They did
since it's our one hundred and fiftieth anniversary, right, they
did the one hundred and fifty most influential, and there are
some good names on it, but it's obviously just so
politically skewed, and I want to break that down for you,
and that kind of bugs me because I'm not nigh eve.
(04:00):
I understand everybody has a political leaning, but certain things
should be above that, separated from that, and when you're
sitting down to identify as a journalistic outlet the one
hundred and fifty most influential, that should be straight up.
There'll always be some disagreement because there's been more than
one hundred and fifty, but it shouldn't be so obviously
(04:21):
politically skewed. And I'll get to that in a second.
So we'll be talking about that during the show today.
So much more I want to get to with you,
But it's going to be a lightning docket kind of
day because there's so much going on in the world
locally and nationally. I want to hit on a lot
in a hurry, and then if there's something you care about,
we'll spend more time on it. Three oh three seven
one three eight two five five DN five seven seven
(04:45):
three nine Texter says Dan, I think fo Stanley should
have been on the Colorado one fifty list. He was
a brilliant engineer and co founded the Stanley Motor Carriage
Company Kmdsy's Park after being diagnosed with tubercul built the
Grand Stanley Hotel, and used his carriage to transport visitors
from the train hotel. What a cool story and it
(05:09):
goes on from there that from our friend Alexa, Yeah,
that guy sounds pretty deserving. I'll tell you who else
is really deserving and who's not on the list. How
do you do a one hundred and fifty most influential
in Colorado history and not have bill Owens, two term governor,
the only Republican governor in the last fifty or sixty years.
(05:31):
But he built so much, you know, like I twenty five,
the whole Corridor expansion, everything else. How do you not
at bill Owens on the list? That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
If if you didn't have all the accomplishments, it'd be
one case. But he was a very productive.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Governor, very productive governor with with national influence as well.
So how do you not at bill Owens on the
list unless it's political influence. And then at the same time,
you have Mason Tvert on the list. And I say
this with the faction because I have the show many
many times. But a total clown, total clown. He is
(06:04):
a guy. I mean, I haven't seen her talk to
Mason in years. Who knows, you may have become, you know,
the most whatever impressive guy. But back in the days
when he was the mouthpiece for the marijuana industry, you know,
leading the campaign in Colorado, Colorado had voted down legalized
marijuana twice by large margins, and then a whole bunch
(06:26):
of hard left money came in and swamped the issue,
and Mason Tvert just happened to be their mouthpiece. But
with all due respect to clown, and you have him
on the list. Listen, if you want to say, okay,
one of the most notable things in Colorado history is
the legalization of marijuana. You're right, because it's one of
(06:47):
the most disastrous. But if you're going to put somebody
on the list, put Bell Maher on the list. He's
the guy who raised over a million bucks to come
in and pass that issue, along with a bunch of
other lefties. So give me a break a list that
doesn't have Bill Owens but does have Mason Tvert. I mean,
that's just an example of how political it is. But
(07:09):
I want to hear from you on the positive side,
just who should be on the list. I think it's
cool that the post endeavored to do it. I just
wish they'd done it in a politically neutral way. But
I think it's appropriate to be talking about the one
hundred and fifty most influential. Who would you put on
the list? And then how do you have a list
of the one hundred and fifty most influential and not
(07:29):
have Dave Logan? How do you not have Dave Logan?
I mean, if it just both impact and longevity and
public impactors, very public roles. Colorado kid drafted in all
three sports, played at CU, eventually played for the Broncos,
(07:52):
won all these state championship but coached all these kids,
and he's been the voice of the Broncos and done
a radio show for decades. Being honest about influence and impact,
how do you not have Dave Logan on the list?
If you did a poll combination popularity and name recognition,
who would top that? So? How's he not on the list?
(08:13):
But this one? This one, my friend, how do you
not have Kendrick Castillo on the list. I mean, there's
a reason you've got highway signs for him that they're
a major street name. To all this other stuff you
talk about influence, the epitome of everything that we admire
as Coloraden's across party lines. He gave his life to
(08:38):
save his classmates and teachers from being slaughtered. The evidence
is in they were going to execute every one of
them methodically because they locked out the rescuers. But Kendrick
Castillo gave his life to save them all. How do
you not have him on the list? But you have
Mason Tvert? Yeah? So anyway, but love you thoughts on
(09:00):
who should be on those because there's so many cool
stories out there, and I also want to focus on
the positive side of that. So we got all that
going for us, and then we were able to obtain
this exclusive tape of Anthony Fauci taking the fifth in
the closed door part of the hearing.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Sir, is it true you were a crack cocaine dealer
for seven years?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I pleaded the fifth? Will you tell us about the
cartels you dealt with in your time as a crack
cocaine dealer?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
But I can tell you that I plead the physicist
exactly how much money did you earn in your time
as a crack cocaine dealer?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Said?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
There so many amendments in the Constitution.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Of the United States of A.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Where'd you get that tape sacked? That's pretty good work
because those hearings say, you know, those closed door sessions
are supposed to be private, sources close to the situation,
sources close, yes, yes, and thank you to Dave Chappelle
as well. Three or three seven, one, three, eight, two
five five. So welcome back, and let's start with at
least who would you put on the one hundred and
(10:41):
fifty most influential in Colorado history. As we approach that
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. You're on the Dankpla.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
What do you mean by do you mean like there's
a chance of the creating a lab as an investigation?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
A chance? This is John Stuart, by the way, with
Stephen Colbert, and you know Stuart's left him not but
really respect his courage because this was at a time
when they were canceling anybody who who questioned the big lies,
and so Stuart had the guts to go on Colbert's
show and do it. And in view of the busting
(11:22):
of Anthony Fauci, I think it's an appropriate time to
savor this evidence. I'd love to hear it.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking wu Han, China.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
What do we do?
Speaker 10 (11:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You know who?
Speaker 9 (11:37):
We could ask the wu Han novel respiratory coronavirus lab.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
The disease is the same name as the lab.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
That's just that's just a little true weird, don't you think?
And then they ass those scientists, they're like, how did this?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So wait a minute, you work at the wu Han.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Respiratory coronavirus lab.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
How did this happen?
Speaker 9 (11:58):
And they're like, oh, tango in kissed the turtle and
they're like, no, the name of your lab. If you
look at the name, look at the name.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Can I let me see your business card? Show me
your business card?
Speaker 9 (12:13):
Oh, I work at the coronavirus.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Lab in wu An.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
Oh, because there's a coronavirus loucen wu An.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
How did that happen?
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Maybe a bat flew into the piloaka of the Turkey and.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Then it sneezed into my chili and.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
Now we all have coronavirus?
Speaker 10 (12:35):
Like okay, okay, what about this?
Speaker 8 (12:38):
What about this?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Wait a second, Oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 9 (12:45):
There's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What do you think happened? Like, Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
Maybe a six steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean,
or it's the chocolate.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Maybe that's it. That could be.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
That could be, That could be I gave them all tuberculosis.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
That could that could very well be.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
And Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins and Aniateer said like
you should definitely be investigated.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Stop with the logic and people and things, even the disease.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
Wait a second, Wait a second, building, Wait a second.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
But I think it could be possible. You could be right.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
It could be possible that they have the lab in
Wuhan to study the novel coronavirus diseases because in Wohan
there are a lot of novel coronavirus diseases because of
the bat population.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I understand the specialty.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
And it's the only place to find backs.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You won't find backs and rock.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Say Oway, Austin, Texas has thousands of them that fly
out of the cave every night. Every night it does.
Is there a coronavirus? An Austin coronavirus doesn't seem to
be an Austin coronavirus. The only coronavirus we have is
in wool Hand, where.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
They have a lab called what's the lab called? Against
the woe Hand novel coronavirus? Last and how long have you?
That is your genius right, because first you start with
the courage, because you remember, you remember the day when
he Mafaugi himself said it, if you questioned me, you
questioned science. And then you had all the lefty minions
(14:32):
who control the media, and they wanted Fauci and treated
him like god because he was helping them bring down
Trump by making it as disruptive as possible. So for
John Stewart to have the courage to go out there
and do it, and then the ability to do it
with humor like that, that's just real genius, Real men
of genius, right there, Real men of genius. What was that?
(14:55):
That was Budweiser that used to do the real men
of genius thing. I'm pretty sure that's right. I'll double show. Okay,
the saxactly looked help for us, oh man. So we're
talking about the one hundred and fifty most influential people
in Colorado history because the Post did that as a feature,
which was a great concept, except it was so slanted politically. Now,
(15:16):
a lot of people on there who deserve it, there's
no doubt about that. We have a Texter Dan Senator
Bill Armstrong should be on the list, and he is,
and he absolutely should be. But there are a bunch
of people who absolutely should be you aren't, and some
who obviously shouldn't be who are And I think it's
pure politics. And I gave one example of the aren't
(15:36):
who or should not be Mason Tevert that kind of
in my constitutionally protected opinion, knuckle had buffoon spokesperson for
big Marijuana. He isn't the reason we have legalized marijuana
in Colorado, which has been a disaster. It's the big
money people who brought in the millions to swamp the
issue after Colorado had voted it down twice. But here's
(16:00):
that's another one. I mean, what's going on here? We
also don't have unless I had mentioned obvious ones who
should be you know, Bill Owens, Kendrick Castillo, and then
I had mentioned Dave Logan as well. How about this one?
How about Julia Greeley? How do you not have Julia
Greeley on the list? I mean, this is a former
(16:21):
slave settled in Denver after the Civil War, a devout
Catholic known as Denver's Angel of Charity, famous for quietly
delivering food, clothing, and fuel the poor families, often at
night so they would not be embarrassed. And she's on
the paths of sainthood. How is Julia Greeley who went
(16:46):
from being a slave, a female slave, to on the
paths of sainthood for stuff she did in Denver? How
Denver post is she not on the list? But to
vert the mouthpiece of big marijuana. Is anybody see a
(17:07):
pattern here? Can anybody explain this? Bill Owens na a
Kendrick Estillo, not a Julia Greeley, not a How about
Colonel Stafford let the Denver Archdiocese during one of the
(17:28):
most major and transformative events in Colorado history. World you tay,
Pope John Paul the Great comes to Denver. It's a
worldwide event. It transformed Denver in very tangible, lasting ways,
including a major turnaround in the crime rate. Right afterwards,
Andy went on to be the third most powerful official
(17:51):
in the Vatican for years. He's not on.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
The list, But Mason tvert is marijuana is for the alcohol?
And then yeah, right, wow, I.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Just wish, Zach, I wish there's something that politics could
be kept out of. You would think an occasion like
the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the state.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Sebastions, this is where we don't have to deal with
all this nonsense.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, we should do a show completely devoid of politics. Someday.
Let's pick a day and do that. I do you
think we can do it? I think we can do
it and not sports would be too easy a default.
And Zach actually does his sports show and I would
love to. I think I'd be very good at that, Zach.
(18:42):
I think if you compare like my sports predictions over
the last three decades to all of the true experts,
who I respect is experts, and what do you think
would win that one? You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Show, You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Ray where did those go?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah? And Bud used to be so good on those,
remember the old dad. I love you, man, you can't
have my bud light. I mean where did the humor
go or the camel anything that's good anymore?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You know, if you look at all the marketing now is
so bland, Like even the Super Bowl ads are so weak.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
All your super Bowl ads had just gone down the toilet.
I mean, why is everybody just feeding everything in the AI?
Is everybody so scared of making some group mad? I mean, yeah,
you would think that we would be improving our humor
as a society. Yeah, maybe somebody out there is the answer.
(19:51):
If you do, text it to me. D A N
five seven seven VIC Fangio, a great defensive coordinator, not
so much had coach, but really happy to hear him
say this. He's the Philadelphia Eagles DC. He said this,
I think this morning. What's the plan at safety is
that marks as Jablos.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
I'm going to be like Fauci and just take the
Fifth Amendment on on questions.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Did you guys say that? Oh my god, what was
the question? I love that love in the culture. And
it goes to a text we have here a Texter
who is saying, I'll find it. We have so many texts,
so I'll paraphrase it. He's saying, Dan, you're not going
(20:38):
to be able to deter the kind of horrible conduct
we saw from Fauci in the future just by him
getting embarrassed. So you know, the implication being there needs
to be jail time, et cetera. Obviously Biden or his
autopen prevented that. At the federal level. State charges I
think are going to be a lot tougher. Somebody told
(20:59):
me Florida AG's looking into it. But yeah, do you
think he should go to jail? And that's a really
big thing to say, right, Do you think that Fauci
needs to go to jail in order to have justice
be done here and then protect the nation in the future. Now,
obviously the premise of that question is that it would
(21:19):
be a proper prosecution, that there in fact would be
a criminal statute that was violated, and you can prove
it beyond a reasonable doubt, et cetera. But so many
people saying he needs to be in jail. I get
the frustration, I get the anger. The amount of harm
he did is almost incalculable. It was mass medical malpractice
on a scale the world may have never seen before.
(21:42):
Why I don't want to say that on the scale
dates has never seen before. Yeah, three or three he's
someone three eight two five five, d N five seven
seven three nine. I've got to tell you, I'm not
sitting here feeling that Fauci needs to be in jail.
What I feel is that it's really critical that all
Americans know the truth about him, because I think these
(22:06):
big revelations coming in the middle of summer are getting
missed by a lot of folks. So I just think
it's important every American know the truth about him, and
that people remember the elected officials, the people in media
who treated him as a god. We all make mistakes,
but that that should be weighed when it comes to
who you're going to trust. And I bought into it.
I've told you that I bought into him for the
(22:28):
first few weeks, and then it became pretty clear. It
became pretty clear what we're dealing with and called it
out as such. Speaking of which great work by Zach.
He was able to get some audio from the closed
door session of the Fauci testimony, and it's really really compelling.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Sir, Is it true you were a crack cocaine dealer
for seven years?
Speaker 10 (22:55):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I pleaded the films.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Sure will you tell us about the cartels you dealt
with in your time as a crack cocaine dealer?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
No, but I can tell you that I plead the
physicist exactly how much money did you earn in your
time as a crack cocaine dealer?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I said, there so many am invents in the Constitution
of the United States of a little choose one lead
(23:39):
the file the.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Film one three?
Speaker 6 (23:48):
How you think it?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Go ahead, ask me a question. Did you a secret
document that I think you need? The same might be
all good afternoon. I got your sentences reduced to him.
A good work Zach that it'd be hard to get.
(24:16):
I have some sources, you know, I have a regular
woodword in Bernstein. Yeah. No, good, great, great job there.
I think you're better than that. And so is Dave
Chappelle three or three, seven, one, three, eight, two, five, five,
d an five, seven, seventh through nine. And hey, getting
back to this most influential one hundred and fifty in
Colorado history if you just joined us. We've been talking
(24:36):
about the Denver Post list, which is a total joke.
I mean, don't get me wrong. There are a bunch
of people on there who should be on there, but
there are a whole bunch of people who should be
and aren't, and then you've got other people who obviously
should not be. So once again, politics skewed the whole thing.
And it's like, is nothing sacred. We're talking about the
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the state. We're talking
(24:59):
about a man. We're talking about a newspaper, the Denver Post.
It's been a major part of the state's history.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
So just this.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Once, get the politics out of it. Just be straight
up historical. You want more evidence, it's a politically skewed joke.
I mean, I've talked about the people they left out,
and I've gone into great detail on them. How do
you leave Bill Owens off? Julia Greeley, former slave known
as the Angel of Denver for all her great works
(25:28):
and now she's on the path to sainthood? Speaking of which,
how do you leave Kendrick Castillo off? Gave his life
to save an entire classroom of teachers and students and
now an inspiration to many. And then you put Mason
tvert On a mouthpiece for the marijuana industry. But Zach,
I'm going to drop the ace right here. And this
(25:51):
completely destroys any defense the Post might attempt to mount
for its list. And it proves your honor beyond any doubt,
not just a shadow of a doubt, to a one certainty,
which by the way, the prosecution is not required to meet.
But it proves to that level that the Post list
(26:13):
is political political. How about this one? All those people
I just mentioned to are left off? Bill Owens, Julia Greeley,
Kendrick Castillo, Dave Logan. Who do they put on Cardinal Stafford?
And I went through that World Youth Day all of that.
(26:35):
Who do they put on the list? Dotty Lamb, Dotty Lamb,
you are probably saying to yourself, who the blank is
Dotty Lamb? Well, let me tell you who she is?
Really nice lady. I loved it when I was around
Dotty Lamb. Our politics could not be more different. She
(26:55):
was like a crazed, far far far left abortion extremist.
But I enjoyed her. Neat lady. But Dottie Lamb, she
never won an office. She was a fine first lady.
But you're gonna put Dotty Lamb on the list ahead
(27:19):
of Bill Owens, a two term governor with a long
list of accomplishments. What is the difference between the two? Hm?
What could it be?
Speaker 10 (27:29):
Zach?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Doddy Lamb Democrat, bell owns two term governor, a lot
of accomplishments, national figure, ah Republican. That's his big mistake,
Dotty Lamb. That proves everything you need to know about
the list. Now, Dick Lamb, he should beat her at
the top of the list. And I disagree with Dick
(27:51):
Lamb on virtually every political issue, but talk about major
influence in Colorado, Dick Lamb, the governor had it, you bet?
And remind me, Zach sometime to tell you my Dick
lamb story. It's pretty hilarious. Let's go to Jay and
wheat Ridge here on the dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Welcome, hy Ded. Always good to hear you, man, Thank you.
I agree with you a lot and I disagree with
you a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You should get married.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Hey, do you want to know I'm very happy about flowers.
I've got a couple flowers.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I never should have started that.
Speaker 10 (28:28):
Oh yeah, to expect yes, but uh, the list does
say influential, and Mason Tippert was incredibly in the wind.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Can you give me a favorite? Since you disagree, Jay,
I want to give you all the time you want,
and we are up against a hard heart break, so
let's come back. I'll look forward to that call because
I think Mason Tivert, you know, with affection he was
on the show a bunch is just a total clown
and just a total clown, intellectually dishonest in my constitutionally
protected opinion, mouth piece for big marijuana. And he's on
(29:02):
the list. I had a Bill Owens, Julia Greeley, Kendrick Castillo,
Dave Logan. Yeah, what does that tell you? You're on the
Dankpla Show.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Now back to the dan Kapler show podcast.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
There's a chance that this is creating a lab as
an investigation.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
A chance well evidence. I'd love to hear the novel.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Respiratory coronavirus overtaking wu Han China.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
What do we do?
Speaker 10 (29:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
You know who?
Speaker 9 (29:33):
We could ask the wu Han novel Respiratory coronavirus lab.
The disease is the same name as the labs.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
A great riff from John Stewart. We played it earlier,
Will played again because it was so courageous and so brilliant.
Hey appreciate. Chase Colley just agrees with me on this
Denver Post list. They did one hundred and fifty most influential,
and they left out a lot of really obvious people
who should have been in the top fifty, let alone
the top one hundred and fifty. And then they included
(30:05):
a Mason to Vert, who I view as a clownish
mouthpiece for big marijuana. And Jay disagrees completely. Is that fair?
Speaker 10 (30:13):
Jay?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Not just a little bit, but completely on that one.
Speaker 10 (30:17):
I really do good. Here's something I'll make my case
this way a bit. If we did the most influence
anybody's had on America in ten years. Satan slash Fauci
would have to be on the list. But we don't
like him. He's he's a worthless pos he's pure evil.
(30:38):
We hate him, basically, most of us. We can't stand
something like that. But influence, man, did he have it?
Mason Tvert an idiot, a loud mouth. My god, I
just go on and on and on, and he's terrible,
but he sure did have a lot of influence he
did Colorado.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Well, here's where I respectfully disagree. I mean, and first,
I don't hate feut to you this or that. And
Mason and I actually, you know, I say this with
affection because I had him on the show countless times.
But he's just a buffoon who, in my constitously protective opinion,
which would just make stuff up, you know, to be
the mouthpiece for marijuana. And that doesn't mean everything he
(31:22):
said was wrong, but a lot cheer was. But the
point I'm making is Mason Devert didn't have any influence
at all. It was the big money groups that poured
all of that big money into Colorado, These big money
leftist groups, they saw the opportunity here. Even though voters,
as you probably remember, Jay had voted down legal marijuana
buy wide Margins twice and then they saw their opportunity
(31:45):
with I think it was hicken Looper at the time,
and then they poured all these millions. That's where the
influence came from. I mean, they won in spite of
Mason Divert, not because of him. So that's one of
my gripes there. And I want to get to the
your your great question Jay about hey, is this like
Time magazine where sometimes their person of the Year is
(32:05):
is like the epitome of evil on the face of
the earth, because they're just looking at maximum impact. That's
not what what the Post was saying here the way
I read, you know, their their criteria for this. In
preparation for Colorado's one hundred and fiftieth anniversary, the Denver
Posts sought to identify the one hundred and fifty most
influential or notable Coloradens and and then it goes on
(32:30):
from there. But it's not what's.
Speaker 10 (32:33):
That or notable? That's very different.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
You know, they're they're yeah, yeah, but but still, no
matter what your criteria is going to be, how do
you not have Bill Owens on it? But instead you
have Dottie Lambs far more influenced now Dick Lamb as governor.
This is not a gender thing. It's who who was
governor and who wasn't. Dick Lamb should be on the list.
A very influential governor, different politics in mine, but a
(33:02):
stand up guy. He would come on and he would
debate the big issues. He wasn't afraid of his shadow
like these modern Democrats. But how do you have first
Lady Dotting Lamb ahead of two term Republican Governor Bill Owens.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
He'd be the Denver post.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, right right, Hey, thanks, Jay, appreciate that. Three or
three seven, one, three eight two five five d an
five seven seven three nine. But we're light of candle
people around here, So I just want to get your
take on who should be on the list on the
positive side, because it is a big deal. You know,
to hit one fifty, that's a big deal. So who
(33:38):
should be on that list? Yeah, Zach, your perspective was
a twenty something. Who should be at the top of
that list? Who's the single most I'd like to hear
this from people too, the single most influential person in
Colorado history. Man, that's so tough.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Like I'm sports brained, obviously, I go to l Way
you highlighted Logan. I think that's a good one. You mentioned,
you know, him being a voice, this incredible athlete. I
think it's also worth noting, you know, he's the most
prolific high school football coach in this state.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Think about how many.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
You know, the kids' lives who have gone on to
be great athletes or great business people, you know, coming
from schools like Mullen Cherry Creek that are so wonderful.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I think he's up there.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
I'm trying to think through my historic Coloradden's right now,
I'm not all we save.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I'm biased right because our son quarterback is championship first
championship team, state championship team at Creek, their first state
championship in twenty years. So he's had an impact on
a lot of kids over the years. But I do
wonder what people would say about numeral Uno the single
most influential person in Colorado history. Who would that be?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Was the post list ranked or was it just a
list of one hundred just just a random list of
one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
There were some very very very deserving names on it.
It's just Dotty Lamb. Then you leave off Bill Owens,
Julia Greally, former slave, became the Angel of Denver on
the way to sainthood. You leave off Kendrick Castillo, you
(35:20):
leave off Cardinal Stafford, and you put Dottie Lamb and
Mason to burn on. But I'd really love to hear
from you. We've got a lot more to do in
the five o'clock hourd than just this, but I'd love
to hear from you on who would your number one
be the number one most influential person in Colorado history.
We're coming up on one fifty, not a spring chicken.
(35:42):
I think we need to figure out who's number one.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
