is winning right now, thanks to the American people giving
President Trump a second term, and because of that, so
(00:21):
many good things happening, And it's winning in other ways
because so many people now think.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
There's a chance.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Right, They see all this great stuff happening because Trump won,
and now they think, Okay, it's worth getting involved.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
There is a chance here. It's not hopeless.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So yeah, the American Way is on the march. But
there's always going to be opposition to that, right because
the people who control the Democratic Party that it's not
the same Democratic Party as when I was a kid
or a college kid or whatever, and it wasn't perfect then,
but now it's run by these radical leftists who truly,
truly want to minimize America in so many different terrible ways.
(01:00):
So yeah, say that opposition is going to continue. We're
going to talk about some of that in this hour.
So thanks for joining us. So great to look out
the window right now at five six and see the
sunshine right it spring is right around the corner.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So we've got three or four things going on at once.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It won't blow the whole segment resetting the table, but glad.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You're here for all of it.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Chime in when you'd like my text DN five seven
seven three nine DAN can protesters be arrested slash sited
for blocking traffic? We're getting a lot of text reaction
to a protest that's been going on at the capitol
to get today against the deportations, and so one of
the to answer this question, yes, but.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
They won't be right.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I mean, this is the left, this is the lawless left.
If they support your cause, you're above the law. And
that's been the case since the Left took over Colorado.
You look at the George Floyd stuff for example, when
Paulus literally goes into hiding and just seeds the capital
of the lawbreakers and then as a monument to them,
you know, leaves up the desecration on the capitol for
(02:06):
months and then But yeah, no, if it's a cause
the left likes, yeah, they're not going to be cited.
Let some pro lifers which we'd never do, right because
we're law abiding. Let some pro lifers go down and
violate the law, start blocking traffic things like that. Yeah,
and it wouldn't be the fault of the great men
and women in law enforce. Maybe politicians fault, but yeah,
(02:28):
they'd be arrested in a heartbeat. Dan, it's the time
we remind people over and over again about the Summer
of Love, five hundred plus riots, violent protests, after we've
heard NonStop for four years about January six Yeah, and
that's why January sixth was not an important issue for
the American people when they voted clearly right, Donald Trump
(02:48):
went overwhelmingly, And I think what a lot of American
people did was look at that and said they didn't
like what they saw on January sixth with the legal peace.
They didn't like that at all. But they didn't like
it all the mass destruction and killing and burning across
the country that the Left allowed and implicitly endorsed.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So yeah, it just comes.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Back to what we've been saying along the American people
are smart and this kind of surreal double standard the
Left is trying to create. No, people don't want two
different systems of justice one if you're a Democrat, and
one you're a Republican. People don't want it. They don't
want to banana republic. How many times did we talk
about that before election days? I kept saying, hey, relaxed,
Trump's gonna win. He's going to win comfortably. Americans didn't
(03:36):
want a Banana Republic, and they made that clear an
election day.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Let's go to David in Denver. You're on the Dan Caplis.
You'll welcome. Yes, Hi Dan.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Last time I called, you said terrific.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Call call back. It's in a while.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
But anyway, I've had a glass of wine, so hopefully
it's not too much.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Just one whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You always catch fanthera.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You're way behind rhyme.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
That's funny. Anyway. I have a different perspective regarding just
people in general. I was abused as a child. I mean,
if that's your own mother, how are you going to
trust anyone?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
People?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Sorry?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Sorry, So so I'm kind of into nature and you
said sunset and animals and all that. So what I
would have done is gone out in the snow in
the dark, and then I wouldn't have you always said
you mentioned sorry, I'm getting there. I'm getting together. What
(04:46):
would Jesus do? Would Jesus stop and have breakfast?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Let me set the table real quick pun intended The
backdrop for David's call. Is this the very sad story
out of Steamboat where a beautiful elk got caught in
deep snow, buried up to its neck in a woman's
large backyard. She did the right thing, she called the
state Parks and Wildlife refused to come and rescue the animal,
(05:15):
which outrages me. The woman then, and this is all
I get the impression unfolding late in the day, The
woman then, I think, heroically calls her friends, organizes them.
They all come over in the morning with shovels to
dig the elk out. They while they were having breakfast
before going to dig the elk out, the elk perished.
So that's what David's critical of is would Jesus have
(05:39):
had breakfast first?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That's what this comes down to.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Just one point.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And at the point I'm making and sorry to get
all the most and what's just wow.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's emotional for me too.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I mean, let me just ask, can you make a squirrel?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I've never tried? But no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No no, But I get the point point is they
My point is they are so complicated, just like us
and any living thing that has eyes and a mouth
and reproduces, and they go to the bathroom, they have
to eat, they have emotions, and people just don't respect that,
(06:20):
and they don't and they regard people as, oh, we're
so much above them. No, we're not, in my opinion,
not at all.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I mean, David, David, let me let me inquire on that.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
First of all, obviously I care deeply about animals, which
is why we devoted the entire show to it yesterday.
And obviously lots of people across party lines care deeply
about animals. They made that clear when they called that's
why this is such a big topic. That But I mean,
it's nothing personal. But it's insane for you to say
(06:51):
that that people are not elevated above animals, right, I mean,
you really see us as just absolutely ecing equal value,
equal intent by God in creating us.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
The only difference and we are at the wrong intelligence
level because we put animals in zoos for to visit.
The only difference is they have a different language and
we don't respect that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's the only difference.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Statement, a different intelligence level. That's a big difference. If
any other animal on the earth had an intelligence level
above us, they would be running the world and we.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Would be in the zoo.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
And people don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Well, you'd think. I think that's when recent people are
very concerned about.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
We're so fortunate to have a great upbringing. Your mother
was great and your father was great. There are so
many people out there that had nothing, and they don't
value people the way you do. And so you know,
I thank god that you were brought up that way.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
I was not.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
So I respect.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Animals and nature, and I did not respect people. If
you're a wonderful person, you're a great person, but you're
not elevated above anything else the way you you think
you are.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
David may ask the question and if this is too
personal or sensitive, so I understand completely. Is this a
case where because of the abuse that you suffered that
you were closest to, you had your your most love
from an animal?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
No, No, it's a case of which the person you're
so supposed to be the closest to abused you. So,
so how are you going to love any person?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
If you ever had like.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Nothing, mother, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I cannot even imagine that that didn't have to be
hell on Earth.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I could not even imagine.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
That ORNI making as people are not elevated above animals
except for intelligence level. That's it. Well, they have two eyes,
they have a mouth, they eat, they have feelings, and
we we I think, are they exact wrong intelligence level?
We're just smart enough to screw everything up.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I really, I really appreciate your very the very personal call,
and and you know, thank you for sharing all of that,
my friend, and I hope you call again.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Don't be sorry about anything.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Point. My point is I would help the elk out.
I would go out with a light and shoveling. I
would make a plan. Oh we got planning.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
What sort of a plan do you need?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You go get a shovel and you dig. It's not
like you where I have to plan to go to court,
you have to plan to go in front of a judge,
in front of Missouri. You get a shovel and you
help a living being out.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
It's not that complicated.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, I've gone a couple of minutes late, just because
you're so compelling grateful for your call. I do need
to hit this break now I do hope you.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Call a guy my friend. No, no, no, no, no, nothing
to be sorry about.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
But everyone a great day, and okay, I'll let's go.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Thank thank you, David, thanks to the call. Wow. Just heartbreaking.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You know, I cannot even imagine having anything other than
a phenomenal mother and a phenomenal father.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I know that not.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Everybody does, and I've always appreciated that, but I literally
cannot imagine how hillacious life must be if you don't
have that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You're on the Dan Capitlas.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Show, and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Sure, four important things going at once here. One of
those is the breathless story today that Mayor Mike Johnston
said he will go to Capitol Hill and testify in
the Sanctuary city here, and of course he will because
he knows there's no chance for the questioners to pin
him down, there's no presiding judge. He's going to filibuster,
he's going to deceive. But what has triggered a lot
(11:34):
of conversation is the statement he put out today that hey,
you know, Denver leads the way I'm paraphrasing, Denver shows everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
How to do it right.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
But he actually says this in the statement he put
out that Denver has shown you can bring all these
people in and not compromise public safety and not compromise
course services.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I mean, it's like bagdad, Bob.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You think of all the stuff that closed, all the
people who got laid off, the increases in crime, the
crime directly tied to folks here illegally. Text or Dan,
can you and Ryan outline the services that Johnson did
not provide for the city. I can validate that my
daughter had a job as a lifeguard and she quit
her job because she wasn't going to get the hours.
So I'd like to know about the other services.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah. Well, mention that earlier you had.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
A whole bunch of people, as I remember it, who
who didn't have their hourly jobs anymore or got the
hourly cut way back in the city said oh, those
aren't layoffs because they're hourly people, right, And then you
had rec centers. Then you have rec centers clothes, you know,
to house people here illegally. So I think there's a
bunch of stuff. Texter, Dan three or three someone three
(12:39):
eight two five five go local at from Alexa. Great suggestion.
Were blessed to be syndicated, but it's left us with
this awful phone number, so we may just revert back
to our Denver area number. Dan, who's giving the counter argument?
Tamyor Johnston for the counterpoint of view? Well, I imagine that'll
be committee members, right, But here's the point.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
They don't have the ability.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Like I would say, he's on the witness stand and
there's a presiding judge, I've got the ability to pin
him down. The committee members, no matter how skilled they are,
don't have that ability because they have so limited time
and there's not a presiding judge. So that's why this
is going to be a walk in the park for Johnson. Yeah,
committee members will state an opposing point of view and
(13:22):
point out some things that are contrary to what Johnston's saying,
but that's not a real chance to cross him. Dan,
And we'll get into this tomorrow. I meant for it
to be today's topic, but others have been hotter Dan.
Unless they make the new mobile radar to be civil
offenses like the HOV lanes, I don't see me changing
driving habits. That said, I don't speed a lot like others.
(13:44):
We'll talk more about this tomorrow. Since they're not going
to be putting in speedcams on some of the highways.
Wondering where you come down on that and if it'll
change what you do eight five vers five A two
five five the number text d an five seven seven three.
We'll get back to some more of those great Texters
in the meantime, Kevin and Boulder. They don't want to
(14:05):
play for you some top five trump sound. Ever, this
is the kind you'll play five years of now to
put a smile on your face.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Welcome Kevin.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
For years, the BLM, with the help of the state,
has been rounding up facing to death from exhaustion, heart
attacks and broken bones, wild stallions and their foals in
northern Colorado and rounding them up for slaughter.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I'm not familiar with that.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
And if you really want to hear or know about
something satanic, absolutely horrendous is lab research on animals. It's
absolutely horrendous. What the Nazis did doesn't even come close
to what they do to animals.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well but obviously the Nazis did it on you humans.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
But used to produce a TV show in Boulder. Well,
I produced several shows. One of them was four of
the animals, and I would get videos from animal welfare
groups like Peter showing animals being tortured in labs and
just so people would know the truth.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Well, Kevin, I appreciate the call because I do want
to start talking more about these issues.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
If you just joined us, thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We spent the entire show yesterday on this horror of
this beautiful elk buried up to its neck in snow
in a big backyard and steamboat. The homeowner did just
the right thing, called parks and Wildlife please come rescue it,
and the state didn't, which I think is an outrage.
And then the wonderful homeowner organized ten friends to come over,
came from miles away with shovels, couldn't come till the
(15:47):
next morning when they were having breakfast, the elk passed away.
So that's why we're talking about this, but not I
want to talk about more issues like this, because obviously
this crosses party line is more important than that. It's
just true God created these creatures. They feel pain, they
feel emotional pain, and yeah, they were created in parts
(16:08):
that we could eat them and sustain, but they're supposed
to be treated with respect and with dignity. And there
should be no one necessary suffering. So that's why I
think what what the state's failure to step in yesterday
was outrageous, you know, and any other stories like that
I want to talk about on Aaron, We're going to
(16:28):
try to get that wonderful person on who organized that
rescue party.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh my goodness, there is so much going on. Let
me get to that. Trump's sound.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
This this is just instant classic Trump in his presser yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Do I have enough time for the sound? Or should
I say it? Okay?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Go ahead, yes, Faia and suffer formanda as I expectations
from you. Do you have any plan to change Afghanistan situation?
Are you able to recognize Taliban? Because I'm Abgunja, less
up and supper woman, and he commented about Afghanistan? What's
your future plant for ap gun people?
Speaker 9 (17:05):
Especially every I have a little hard time understanding you.
Where are you from?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Actually?
Speaker 9 (17:13):
It's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. It's the
only problem is I can't understand the word you're saying.
But I just say this good luck living piece.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's Isn't that just perfect?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
And it's perfect because it shows where he's at right now.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Right, he just good luck living peace.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, he he is the most prominent powerful leader in
the world, right, and he's he's comfortable in a way
we haven't seen before, understandably. Right, he was subject to
the coup attempt and all that other stuff and then
everything he was put through with law fair and everything else,
and he's just it is a wonderful thing to watch
(17:55):
in action. And that's just that's just a funny human moment.
So it's going to be a great four years ahead.
A five for zero five A two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine when we
come back, Well, we'll continue talking about the protesters at
the Capitol and others protesting the deportations. But why do
they carrate the Mexican flag if they don't want people
(18:17):
sent there?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I've said this before, I'll say it again.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in
the White House.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Wow, that's so true and so awesome to hear that, right,
and Trump deserves that, and coming from the great nation
of Israel, you know it just fought so valiantly for
its own existence and survival, and knowing that the horror
of October seven never had happens if Trump's in office,
just like the invasion of that of Ukraine never happens
(19:04):
if Trump's in office. And thank god he's back. John
Fabricatory kind enough to join us former regional director of ICE,
to talk about the protest at the state capitol in
Colorado and elsewhere today.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
John, welcome back to the show.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Hey, Dan, how are you good?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
How'd you enjoy that testimony on Capitol Hill?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It was great? You know, this is that's the second
time I actually testify it up on Capitol Hill. And
you know, any time that I get to spend time
up there testifying in congresses is an honor.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You know, we were talking earlier about lawless Mike Johnston
of Denver saying he's going to go ahead and testify at.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The Sanctuary City hearing.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
And I was just telling folks, don't get your hopes
up here, because they don't have a presiding judge. There's
no real chance to pin Johnston down. He's just going
to dissemble, he's going to fill a buster, he's going
to deceive, and there's no real opportunity for committe members
to pin him down.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
No, you know, but it does, you know, kind of
get us to hear what he has to say on
the subject without being you know, in front of a
media and just posturing and doing political theater. So I
hope when he does go forward, and if he does
go forward, that you know, the right kind of questions
are asked to kind of pin him to exactly why
he does what he does.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, and you know, we got a preview today, John
of Johnston's spokesperson saying, yeah, he's going to go and
he's going to point out how Denver's proven how to
do it. You know, had all these people come here
and didn't compromise public safety, didn't compromise course services. It's
like bag dad, Bob, wait a second, you closed rec centers.
You know, people had their hours cut back. There's all
(20:45):
sorts of impact on public services. They didn't even plant
flowers one summer. And then on top of that, obviously
you had crime committed by some of the people here.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So it seems to me, my constitutionally protected.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Opinion, he's not the guy I knew, but he's a
guy We've always had our political differences but always enjoyed him.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It seems to me now he just lies.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, and it's to the detriment of this community. And
you know, like you said, you know, some of the
people that have come here have committed some very horrific
and violent crimes. We've had trenda ragua in the area.
They've cut the fingers off of a man, they kidnapped
and brutally beat a couple. They murdered a man in
the courtyard of the Edge. You know, so there's been
(21:29):
violence with this group that has come in and you know,
he's kind of danced around that that issue, and the
community is not safer by what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
No, And I just wish there'd be a real chance
to expose him. And I just don't think the committee,
by the nature the mechanics of it, is going to
have that opportunity. But John Police, what did you see
down at the capital today? We've received a lot of
text on this, a lot of people upset, apparently a
lot of kids down there.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
What'd you see?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah, you know, the age group it was, it did
kind of surprise me. It looked like, you know a
lot of you know, between fifteen nineteen year old had
taken some time off of school today to go downtown.
But you know, there was your basic group who's down
there all the time that you know, I can point
out individuals I see down there all the time. But
(22:20):
was really concerning me, Dan, It's just what was on
the signs, because it was just very untruthful. You know,
they put things like immigrants are good for America, which
is true, but Trump is not going after immigrants, and
they conflate out all the time. They constantly say that immigrants, immigrants, immigrants. Well,
(22:42):
but that's not the topic of this subject. The topic
of the subject is not the people who have lawfully
come in and they're doing what they're supposed to do.
The issue that many of us have is with illegal immigration,
the unvetted amounts of people that the Biden administration led
into this country and what it has caused to happen here.
(23:02):
And I think if these younger people are not being
shown that and the wolves being pulled over their eyes,
we're going to have an issue with what's going on
because they are going to protest a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Well, and John that the thing that drives me so
crazy is that all of these people, and certainly Mike Johnston,
the fully informed ones, you know, the Mike Johnston's, Jared Poulises, etc.
All these years they've been knowingly protecting folks who are
not only here illegally, but who have committed other crimes
(23:32):
while here. And so what's your take on this, John,
Because I mean, these are people polics who actually signed
a build that says, okay, you know, but probation and
parole can no longer cooperate with ICE. So at that point,
you know, when you put your signature on that, it
was to protect people not only here illegally who've been
convicted to the point they have a probation officer. What
(23:53):
would ever drive any sane person to want to protect
those people who've committed these other crimes.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
That's what makes me laugh about the whole thing, Dan,
because you see it very clearly, and that has been
my biggest problem with nineteen Dash eleven twenty four. You
have a lot of Democrats out there saying, well, this
protects the immigrant community. Again, we're not going after the
immigrant community. But just on the fact that, like you said,
that you exclude parole and probation from communicating with ICE,
(24:22):
you're allowing criminals, criminal illegal aliens to go back out
on the street. And we know what the recidivism rate is.
I testified the Congress about this that it's about four
to one per criminal alien. So why are we allowing
him to go back out into the street to possibly
commit additional crimes. We had a crime up in Broomfield
(24:43):
four times. This illegal alien was let out on UI
chargers four times. He was deported driving drunk and speeding
past Boomfield High School. He struck a mother and her
son and killed them. Why do we need to allow
illegal aliens out into the communities to potentially commit more
crimes before we deport them.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Well, John, appreciate you being with us, and maybe you,
with all of your acquired wisdom through all this work
over the.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Years, can solve this riddle.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Why here and in LA and elsewhere where people are
protesting Trump wanting to send people to Mexico. Are the
protesters carrying Mexican flags? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:26):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I wish, I wish I could, dan And it wasn't
just Mexican flags. There were tons of other flags out
there today, not American flags. I mean there were a few.
I can't say there weren't any because I'll be called
out on that, but there were way more foreign flags
than there were American flags today.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
But truly, if the folks carrying those flags love and
admire Mexico so much, why are they protesting Trump wanting
to send Mexican citizens back to Mexico.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Exactly if you love it so much, it's down south
twelve out twelve our drive from Denver to El Paso.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, hey, appreciate John, appreciate the time. Thank you man.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, that's John Prepargatory. He used to be regional director
of Vice. And listen, I've said this before. Nothing I'm
saying obviously has any animosity toward folks from Mexico, or
any animosity toward folks from Mexico who came here illegally
and have not committed other crimes. They should not have
(26:27):
come here illegally. Right laws need to be honored, and
I know this country has to have some sensible way
to do it that we can't. We can't deal with
an unlimited number of folks here illegally, and the border
should have been closed and controlled all along.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Is, none of this is about any animosity toward folks
from Mexico it's just about sanity, it's just about national security.
And that's why it is mind blowing to me that
someone like Jared Poulis or Mike john And would go
out of their way to try to protect somebody here
(27:03):
ilegally who has committed other crimes.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Why do you think they do that?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And I don't mean that as a rhetorical question. Why
do you think they would do that? Why would any sane,
moral person do that? And then that's a lead into
something we'll spend more time on tomorrow. But I wanted
to let you know about this bill that's been introduced
because I think it's going to be very, very helpful
in exposing Jared Poulis in his latest round of lies.
(27:31):
So what we have now is we have a couple
of Republicans who have introduced a bill that would allow
probation and parole officers to cooperate with Ice.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Okay, you got polists.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Going on every TV and radio station in the country
that'll have him, except this one because he's afraid of
the tough questions, bragging about how no he wants to
cooperate with the federal government to get those people who
are here illegally committing other crimes. Here's the perfect opportunity, right,
do you think he'll support this bill? Eight five five
(28:04):
for zero five eight two five five text d an
five seven seven three.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
Nine And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Let it Die fascinating because we spent the entire show
on this topic.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
The elk buried up to its neck and snow in
a woman's backyard. She did everything right. She called parks
in wildlife. They wouldn't come. I think the.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
State wrong, wrong, wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
To let that elk suffer and die. She organized a
rescue party. When they came out the next morning after breakfast.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
The elk was gone. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Point is we spent two hours yesterday on this and
the calls just that's not our topic today. But the
calls keep coming, the texts keep coming, and you know
what that I'm really glad to see that because that
just that just confirms my faith in humanity, because you
are these callers, there are cross party lines. These are
(29:03):
living creatures made by God. They feel pain, they have emotions,
and we can never let a creature die in pain
like that when there's something we can do the state
was wrong here, and so anyway, we continue your calls,
we'll get to that, but I want to let you
know I posted at dan Kaplis on Twitter, and please
look at it and follow me.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You'll be glad you did. One of the top five.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I'd ask you to take a look and tell me
if you agree. One of the top five top ten
pictures in presidential history. It is just it is just
such an amazing, captivating photo. It's so perfectly framed, it's
so inspiring. And I'll describe it to you if you're
(29:44):
in the car. It's President Trump giving women sports back
to girls and women, signing the executive order today, and
he's surrounded by all of these girls and women of
all ages. But they're tightly crowded together. It's like a
Norman Rockwell, they're tightly crowded together around him. He looks great,
(30:05):
and I love the two little kids in front. But
everybody is happy, and everybody's looking right at him as
he signs. And so I think it's the combination of
just all of these young girls and even children and
grown women, and everybody's so happy and and he looks great.
(30:25):
But the importance of this, the monumental importance of the
order he signed, So please do and thank you for
reposting it. Ryan, Please please do take a look at that.
It's so compelling. It is so compelling.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Craig and Berthig. You're on the Dan Kapli show. Welcome,
Hey Dan, you doing living the dream my friend?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Yeah, so I didn't hear the show yesterday, but just
kind of follow up on what I talked to your
Earth is and there about. So I got in from
birth to the versa every day the highway thirty six
and uh, one day last week I noticed traffic has stopped,
so everybody is not going anywhere. And I come up
on the scene and there's a wounded bel oak probably Oh,
(31:11):
I don't know. She's a couple of years old, standing
in the middle of the road. No one knows what
to do. Yeah, so the guy who got to hit
her it pulled over trying to fly traffic down. I stopped,
got out, got over there, went up, said hi, Elk,
how you do when she kind of looked at me like, oh,
thank you you're here, and grabbed her and walked her.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Off the start of the Wow, how cool.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Never hugged an elk before in my life. I went
she looked pretty thankful. Well, she's trying to get to
the entire herd, who's about one hundred yards down the road, and.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
She's not going to get that fart.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
So I got traffic stopped again and then walked her across
the other side of the road to the wide world.
She continues on with her life.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Wow, God love you man, what a great story. So
have you have you ever touched an elk before?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
So not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
The elk, Now, I'm sure you were being careful. They
didn't kick you or whatever, but the elk just seemed
to welcome you.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yeah, she did. She absolutly looked at me like, thank guys,
you're going to get me out of the road because
I'm going well, yeah, because this could probably get a
lot worse. And like I said, I don't believe you know,
I'll give her a fifty to fifty shot. I'm going
to say what it was. And he called the DOW
And I've seen these incidents before, and I realized they're
not going to respond because there's no way they go
out and track one elk, and heard of several hundred
(32:35):
in that area. So I wish you're the best, and
a lot of people thought it and well, God.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Love you man, God love you. Hey really appreciate that story.
Thank you, Craig. Wow, what a cool guy.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
What a great story.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
And it's you know, it just comes back to you
know why this story is dominated for two days just
because I mean, it doesn't may I'm a Democrat, Republican, male, female,
color raise, any of that stuff doesn't matter. We all know, right,
it's the way we're wired, the way we're built. We
know that these are God's creatures and they feel pain,
(33:13):
they have emotions, and even if somebody doesn't believe in God,
they just know, right, they just know that you cannot
allow an animal to unnecessarily suffer. And that's why I'm
so outraged at the state for refusing to rescue this animal.
And as as textures and callers said, if that had
(33:34):
been one of Jared Polis's precious wolves brought into the
state to chew up our ranchers livestock, you know, they
would have had helicopters and everything else to say.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
But no, it's just wrong. This is just wrong.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
But really the other thing that I appreciate is we've
heard from so many interesting people, you know what I mean,
from all different walks of life, and we're going to
try to get the woman who tried to save this elk.
She called the state, the state refused to help, and
then she recognized she organized this rescue crew came from
(34:09):
miles around with shovels to get the elk out and
then by the time they get out there in the
morning after breakfast, the elk was gone. So we're going
to try to get her on the show. I think
she's a hero, So tomorrow show. Hey, first, do check
out at Dan Caplis on Twitter, not just because I
want more followers, which I do, but also because it
is one of the most compelling political photos I've ever seen.
(34:31):
Trump today giving women sports back to girls and women,
but just the photo as he signs the order. You'll
enjoy it, no matter what, you'll enjoy it. And then
tomorrow I love this. Couple of Republicans have introduced to
bill would allow parole probation officers to cooperate with ICE.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Well Polis tough talking.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Polis has been out there saying no he wants he
wants Colorado to cooperate with ICE when it comes to
criminals who've committed other crimes.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Well this is the test, right do you think he's
going to support this spell?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Great job, Brian Kelly, join us tomorrow please on the
Dankaplas Show
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. The American Way
is winning right now, thanks to the American people giving
President Trump a second term, and because of that, so
(00:21):
many good things happening, And it's winning in other ways
because so many people now think.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
There's a chance.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Right, They see all this great stuff happening because Trump won,
and now they think, Okay, it's worth getting involved.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
There is a chance here. It's not hopeless.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So yeah, the American Way is on the march. But
there's always going to be opposition to that, right because
the people who control the Democratic Party that it's not
the same Democratic Party as when I was a kid
or a college kid or whatever, and it wasn't perfect then,
but now it's run by these radical leftists who truly,
truly want to minimize America in so many different terrible ways.
(01:00):
So yeah, say that opposition is going to continue. We're
going to talk about some of that in this hour.
So thanks for joining us. So great to look out
the window right now at five six and see the
sunshine right it spring is right around the corner.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So we've got three or four things going on at once.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It won't blow the whole segment resetting the table, but glad.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You're here for all of it.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Chime in when you'd like my text DN five seven
seven three nine DAN can protesters be arrested slash sited
for blocking traffic? We're getting a lot of text reaction
to a protest that's been going on at the capitol
to get today against the deportations, and so one of
the to answer this question, yes, but.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
They won't be right.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I mean, this is the left, this is the lawless left.
If they support your cause, you're above the law. And
that's been the case since the Left took over Colorado.
You look at the George Floyd stuff for example, when
Paulus literally goes into hiding and just seeds the capital
of the lawbreakers and then as a monument to them,
you know, leaves up the desecration on the capitol for
(02:06):
months and then But yeah, no, if it's a cause
the left likes, yeah, they're not going to be cited.
Let some pro lifers which we'd never do, right because
we're law abiding. Let some pro lifers go down and
violate the law, start blocking traffic things like that. Yeah,
and it wouldn't be the fault of the great men
and women in law enforce. Maybe politicians fault, but yeah,
(02:28):
they'd be arrested in a heartbeat. Dan, it's the time
we remind people over and over again about the Summer
of Love, five hundred plus riots, violent protests, after we've
heard NonStop for four years about January six Yeah, and
that's why January sixth was not an important issue for
the American people when they voted clearly right, Donald Trump
(02:48):
went overwhelmingly, And I think what a lot of American
people did was look at that and said they didn't
like what they saw on January sixth with the legal peace.
They didn't like that at all. But they didn't like
it all the mass destruction and killing and burning across
the country that the Left allowed and implicitly endorsed.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So yeah, it just comes.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Back to what we've been saying along the American people
are smart and this kind of surreal double standard the
Left is trying to create. No, people don't want two
different systems of justice one if you're a Democrat, and
one you're a Republican. People don't want it. They don't
want to banana republic. How many times did we talk
about that before election days? I kept saying, hey, relaxed,
Trump's gonna win. He's going to win comfortably. Americans didn't
(03:36):
want a Banana Republic, and they made that clear an
election day.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Let's go to David in Denver. You're on the Dan Caplis.
You'll welcome. Yes, Hi Dan.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Last time I called, you said terrific.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Call call back. It's in a while.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
But anyway, I've had a glass of wine, so hopefully
it's not too much.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Just one whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You always catch fanthera.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You're way behind rhyme.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
That's funny. Anyway. I have a different perspective regarding just
people in general. I was abused as a child. I mean,
if that's your own mother, how are you going to
trust anyone?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
People?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Sorry?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Sorry, So so I'm kind of into nature and you
said sunset and animals and all that. So what I
would have done is gone out in the snow in
the dark, and then I wouldn't have you always said
you mentioned sorry, I'm getting there. I'm getting together. What
(04:46):
would Jesus do? Would Jesus stop and have breakfast?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Let me set the table real quick pun intended The
backdrop for David's call. Is this the very sad story
out of Steamboat where a beautiful elk got caught in
deep snow, buried up to its neck in a woman's
large backyard. She did the right thing, she called the
state Parks and Wildlife refused to come and rescue the animal,
(05:15):
which outrages me. The woman then, and this is all
I get the impression unfolding late in the day, The
woman then, I think, heroically calls her friends, organizes them.
They all come over in the morning with shovels to
dig the elk out. They while they were having breakfast
before going to dig the elk out, the elk perished.
So that's what David's critical of is would Jesus have
(05:39):
had breakfast first?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That's what this comes down to.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Just one point.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And at the point I'm making and sorry to get
all the most and what's just wow.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's emotional for me too.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I mean, let me just ask, can you make a squirrel?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I've never tried? But no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No no, But I get the point point is they
My point is they are so complicated, just like us
and any living thing that has eyes and a mouth
and reproduces, and they go to the bathroom, they have
to eat, they have emotions, and people just don't respect that,
(06:20):
and they don't and they regard people as, oh, we're
so much above them. No, we're not, in my opinion,
not at all.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I mean, David, David, let me let me inquire on that.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
First of all, obviously I care deeply about animals, which
is why we devoted the entire show to it yesterday.
And obviously lots of people across party lines care deeply
about animals. They made that clear when they called that's
why this is such a big topic. That But I mean,
it's nothing personal. But it's insane for you to say
(06:51):
that that people are not elevated above animals, right, I mean,
you really see us as just absolutely ecing equal value,
equal intent by God in creating us.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
The only difference and we are at the wrong intelligence
level because we put animals in zoos for to visit.
The only difference is they have a different language and
we don't respect that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's the only difference.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Statement, a different intelligence level. That's a big difference. If
any other animal on the earth had an intelligence level
above us, they would be running the world and we.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Would be in the zoo.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
And people don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Well, you'd think. I think that's when recent people are
very concerned about.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
We're so fortunate to have a great upbringing. Your mother
was great and your father was great. There are so
many people out there that had nothing, and they don't
value people the way you do. And so you know,
I thank god that you were brought up that way.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
I was not.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
So I respect.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Animals and nature, and I did not respect people. If
you're a wonderful person, you're a great person, but you're
not elevated above anything else the way you you think
you are.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
David may ask the question and if this is too
personal or sensitive, so I understand completely. Is this a
case where because of the abuse that you suffered that
you were closest to, you had your your most love
from an animal?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
No, No, it's a case of which the person you're
so supposed to be the closest to abused you. So,
so how are you going to love any person?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
If you ever had like.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Nothing, mother, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I cannot even imagine that that didn't have to be
hell on Earth.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I could not even imagine.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
That ORNI making as people are not elevated above animals
except for intelligence level. That's it. Well, they have two eyes,
they have a mouth, they eat, they have feelings, and
we we I think, are they exact wrong intelligence level?
We're just smart enough to screw everything up.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I really, I really appreciate your very the very personal call,
and and you know, thank you for sharing all of that,
my friend, and I hope you call again.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Don't be sorry about anything.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Point. My point is I would help the elk out.
I would go out with a light and shoveling. I
would make a plan. Oh we got planning.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
What sort of a plan do you need?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You go get a shovel and you dig. It's not
like you where I have to plan to go to court,
you have to plan to go in front of a judge,
in front of Missouri. You get a shovel and you
help a living being out.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
It's not that complicated.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, I've gone a couple of minutes late, just because
you're so compelling grateful for your call. I do need
to hit this break now I do hope you.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Call a guy my friend. No, no, no, no, no, nothing
to be sorry about.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
But everyone a great day, and okay, I'll let's go.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Thank thank you, David, thanks to the call. Wow. Just heartbreaking.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You know, I cannot even imagine having anything other than
a phenomenal mother and a phenomenal father.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I know that not.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Everybody does, and I've always appreciated that, but I literally
cannot imagine how hillacious life must be if you don't
have that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You're on the Dan Capitlas.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Show, and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Sure, four important things going at once here. One of
those is the breathless story today that Mayor Mike Johnston
said he will go to Capitol Hill and testify in
the Sanctuary city here, and of course he will because
he knows there's no chance for the questioners to pin
him down, there's no presiding judge. He's going to filibuster,
he's going to deceive. But what has triggered a lot
(11:34):
of conversation is the statement he put out today that hey,
you know, Denver leads the way I'm paraphrasing, Denver shows everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
How to do it right.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
But he actually says this in the statement he put
out that Denver has shown you can bring all these
people in and not compromise public safety and not compromise
course services.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I mean, it's like bagdad, Bob.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You think of all the stuff that closed, all the
people who got laid off, the increases in crime, the
crime directly tied to folks here illegally. Text or Dan,
can you and Ryan outline the services that Johnson did
not provide for the city. I can validate that my
daughter had a job as a lifeguard and she quit
her job because she wasn't going to get the hours.
So I'd like to know about the other services.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah. Well, mention that earlier you had.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
A whole bunch of people, as I remember it, who
who didn't have their hourly jobs anymore or got the
hourly cut way back in the city said oh, those
aren't layoffs because they're hourly people, right, And then you
had rec centers. Then you have rec centers clothes, you know,
to house people here illegally. So I think there's a
bunch of stuff. Texter, Dan three or three someone three
(12:39):
eight two five five go local at from Alexa. Great suggestion.
Were blessed to be syndicated, but it's left us with
this awful phone number, so we may just revert back
to our Denver area number. Dan, who's giving the counter argument?
Tamyor Johnston for the counterpoint of view? Well, I imagine that'll
be committee members, right, But here's the point.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
They don't have the ability.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Like I would say, he's on the witness stand and
there's a presiding judge, I've got the ability to pin
him down. The committee members, no matter how skilled they are,
don't have that ability because they have so limited time
and there's not a presiding judge. So that's why this
is going to be a walk in the park for Johnson. Yeah,
committee members will state an opposing point of view and
(13:22):
point out some things that are contrary to what Johnston's saying,
but that's not a real chance to cross him. Dan,
And we'll get into this tomorrow. I meant for it
to be today's topic, but others have been hotter Dan.
Unless they make the new mobile radar to be civil
offenses like the HOV lanes, I don't see me changing
driving habits. That said, I don't speed a lot like others.
(13:44):
We'll talk more about this tomorrow. Since they're not going
to be putting in speedcams on some of the highways.
Wondering where you come down on that and if it'll
change what you do eight five vers five A two
five five the number text d an five seven seven three.
We'll get back to some more of those great Texters
in the meantime, Kevin and Boulder. They don't want to
(14:05):
play for you some top five trump sound. Ever, this
is the kind you'll play five years of now to
put a smile on your face.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Welcome Kevin.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
For years, the BLM, with the help of the state,
has been rounding up facing to death from exhaustion, heart
attacks and broken bones, wild stallions and their foals in
northern Colorado and rounding them up for slaughter.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I'm not familiar with that.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
And if you really want to hear or know about
something satanic, absolutely horrendous is lab research on animals. It's
absolutely horrendous. What the Nazis did doesn't even come close
to what they do to animals.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well but obviously the Nazis did it on you humans.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
But used to produce a TV show in Boulder. Well,
I produced several shows. One of them was four of
the animals, and I would get videos from animal welfare
groups like Peter showing animals being tortured in labs and
just so people would know the truth.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Well, Kevin, I appreciate the call because I do want
to start talking more about these issues.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
If you just joined us, thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We spent the entire show yesterday on this horror of
this beautiful elk buried up to its neck in snow
in a big backyard and steamboat. The homeowner did just
the right thing, called parks and Wildlife please come rescue it,
and the state didn't, which I think is an outrage.
And then the wonderful homeowner organized ten friends to come over,
came from miles away with shovels, couldn't come till the
(15:47):
next morning when they were having breakfast, the elk passed away.
So that's why we're talking about this, but not I
want to talk about more issues like this, because obviously
this crosses party line is more important than that. It's
just true God created these creatures. They feel pain, they
feel emotional pain, and yeah, they were created in parts
(16:08):
that we could eat them and sustain, but they're supposed
to be treated with respect and with dignity. And there
should be no one necessary suffering. So that's why I
think what what the state's failure to step in yesterday
was outrageous, you know, and any other stories like that
I want to talk about on Aaron, We're going to
(16:28):
try to get that wonderful person on who organized that
rescue party.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh my goodness, there is so much going on. Let
me get to that. Trump's sound.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
This this is just instant classic Trump in his presser yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Do I have enough time for the sound? Or should
I say it? Okay?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Go ahead, yes, Faia and suffer formanda as I expectations
from you. Do you have any plan to change Afghanistan situation?
Are you able to recognize Taliban? Because I'm Abgunja, less
up and supper woman, and he commented about Afghanistan? What's
your future plant for ap gun people?
Speaker 9 (17:05):
Especially every I have a little hard time understanding you.
Where are you from?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Actually?
Speaker 9 (17:13):
It's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. It's the
only problem is I can't understand the word you're saying.
But I just say this good luck living piece.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's Isn't that just perfect?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
And it's perfect because it shows where he's at right now.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Right, he just good luck living peace.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, he he is the most prominent powerful leader in
the world, right, and he's he's comfortable in a way
we haven't seen before, understandably. Right, he was subject to
the coup attempt and all that other stuff and then
everything he was put through with law fair and everything else,
and he's just it is a wonderful thing to watch
(17:55):
in action. And that's just that's just a funny human moment.
So it's going to be a great four years ahead.
A five for zero five A two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine when we
come back, Well, we'll continue talking about the protesters at
the Capitol and others protesting the deportations. But why do
they carrate the Mexican flag if they don't want people
(18:17):
sent there?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I've said this before, I'll say it again.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in
the White House.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Wow, that's so true and so awesome to hear that, right,
and Trump deserves that, and coming from the great nation
of Israel, you know it just fought so valiantly for
its own existence and survival, and knowing that the horror
of October seven never had happens if Trump's in office,
just like the invasion of that of Ukraine never happens
(19:04):
if Trump's in office. And thank god he's back. John
Fabricatory kind enough to join us former regional director of ICE,
to talk about the protest at the state capitol in
Colorado and elsewhere today.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
John, welcome back to the show.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Hey, Dan, how are you good?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
How'd you enjoy that testimony on Capitol Hill?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It was great? You know, this is that's the second
time I actually testify it up on Capitol Hill. And
you know, any time that I get to spend time
up there testifying in congresses is an honor.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You know, we were talking earlier about lawless Mike Johnston
of Denver saying he's going to go ahead and testify at.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The Sanctuary City hearing.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
And I was just telling folks, don't get your hopes
up here, because they don't have a presiding judge. There's
no real chance to pin Johnston down. He's just going
to dissemble, he's going to fill a buster, he's going
to deceive, and there's no real opportunity for committe members
to pin him down.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
No, you know, but it does, you know, kind of
get us to hear what he has to say on
the subject without being you know, in front of a
media and just posturing and doing political theater. So I
hope when he does go forward, and if he does
go forward, that you know, the right kind of questions
are asked to kind of pin him to exactly why
he does what he does.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, and you know, we got a preview today, John
of Johnston's spokesperson saying, yeah, he's going to go and
he's going to point out how Denver's proven how to
do it. You know, had all these people come here
and didn't compromise public safety, didn't compromise course services. It's
like bag dad, Bob, wait a second, you closed rec centers.
You know, people had their hours cut back. There's all
(20:45):
sorts of impact on public services. They didn't even plant
flowers one summer. And then on top of that, obviously
you had crime committed by some of the people here.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So it seems to me, my constitutionally protected.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Opinion, he's not the guy I knew, but he's a
guy We've always had our political differences but always enjoyed him.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It seems to me now he just lies.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, and it's to the detriment of this community. And
you know, like you said, you know, some of the
people that have come here have committed some very horrific
and violent crimes. We've had trenda ragua in the area.
They've cut the fingers off of a man, they kidnapped
and brutally beat a couple. They murdered a man in
the courtyard of the Edge. You know, so there's been
(21:29):
violence with this group that has come in and you know,
he's kind of danced around that that issue, and the
community is not safer by what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
No, And I just wish there'd be a real chance
to expose him. And I just don't think the committee,
by the nature the mechanics of it, is going to
have that opportunity. But John Police, what did you see
down at the capital today? We've received a lot of
text on this, a lot of people upset, apparently a
lot of kids down there.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
What'd you see?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah, you know, the age group it was, it did
kind of surprise me. It looked like, you know a
lot of you know, between fifteen nineteen year old had
taken some time off of school today to go downtown.
But you know, there was your basic group who's down
there all the time that you know, I can point
out individuals I see down there all the time. But
(22:20):
was really concerning me, Dan, It's just what was on
the signs, because it was just very untruthful. You know,
they put things like immigrants are good for America, which
is true, but Trump is not going after immigrants, and
they conflate out all the time. They constantly say that immigrants, immigrants, immigrants. Well,
(22:42):
but that's not the topic of this subject. The topic
of the subject is not the people who have lawfully
come in and they're doing what they're supposed to do.
The issue that many of us have is with illegal immigration,
the unvetted amounts of people that the Biden administration led
into this country and what it has caused to happen here.
(23:02):
And I think if these younger people are not being
shown that and the wolves being pulled over their eyes,
we're going to have an issue with what's going on
because they are going to protest a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Well, and John that the thing that drives me so
crazy is that all of these people, and certainly Mike Johnston,
the fully informed ones, you know, the Mike Johnston's, Jared Poulises, etc.
All these years they've been knowingly protecting folks who are
not only here illegally, but who have committed other crimes
(23:32):
while here. And so what's your take on this, John,
Because I mean, these are people polics who actually signed
a build that says, okay, you know, but probation and
parole can no longer cooperate with ICE. So at that point,
you know, when you put your signature on that, it
was to protect people not only here illegally who've been
convicted to the point they have a probation officer. What
(23:53):
would ever drive any sane person to want to protect
those people who've committed these other crimes.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
That's what makes me laugh about the whole thing, Dan,
because you see it very clearly, and that has been
my biggest problem with nineteen Dash eleven twenty four. You
have a lot of Democrats out there saying, well, this
protects the immigrant community. Again, we're not going after the
immigrant community. But just on the fact that, like you said,
that you exclude parole and probation from communicating with ICE,
(24:22):
you're allowing criminals, criminal illegal aliens to go back out
on the street. And we know what the recidivism rate is.
I testified the Congress about this that it's about four
to one per criminal alien. So why are we allowing
him to go back out into the street to possibly
commit additional crimes. We had a crime up in Broomfield
(24:43):
four times. This illegal alien was let out on UI
chargers four times. He was deported driving drunk and speeding
past Boomfield High School. He struck a mother and her
son and killed them. Why do we need to allow
illegal aliens out into the communities to potentially commit more
crimes before we deport them.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Well, John, appreciate you being with us, and maybe you,
with all of your acquired wisdom through all this work
over the.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Years, can solve this riddle.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Why here and in LA and elsewhere where people are
protesting Trump wanting to send people to Mexico. Are the
protesters carrying Mexican flags? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:26):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I wish, I wish I could, dan And it wasn't
just Mexican flags. There were tons of other flags out
there today, not American flags. I mean there were a few.
I can't say there weren't any because I'll be called
out on that, but there were way more foreign flags
than there were American flags today.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
But truly, if the folks carrying those flags love and
admire Mexico so much, why are they protesting Trump wanting
to send Mexican citizens back to Mexico.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Exactly if you love it so much, it's down south
twelve out twelve our drive from Denver to El Paso.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, hey, appreciate John, appreciate the time. Thank you man.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, that's John Prepargatory. He used to be regional director
of Vice. And listen, I've said this before. Nothing I'm
saying obviously has any animosity toward folks from Mexico, or
any animosity toward folks from Mexico who came here illegally
and have not committed other crimes. They should not have
(26:27):
come here illegally. Right laws need to be honored, and
I know this country has to have some sensible way
to do it that we can't. We can't deal with
an unlimited number of folks here illegally, and the border
should have been closed and controlled all along.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Is, none of this is about any animosity toward folks
from Mexico it's just about sanity, it's just about national security.
And that's why it is mind blowing to me that
someone like Jared Poulis or Mike john And would go
out of their way to try to protect somebody here
(27:03):
ilegally who has committed other crimes.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Why do you think they do that?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And I don't mean that as a rhetorical question. Why
do you think they would do that? Why would any sane,
moral person do that? And then that's a lead into
something we'll spend more time on tomorrow. But I wanted
to let you know about this bill that's been introduced
because I think it's going to be very, very helpful
in exposing Jared Poulis in his latest round of lies.
(27:31):
So what we have now is we have a couple
of Republicans who have introduced a bill that would allow
probation and parole officers to cooperate with Ice.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Okay, you got polists.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Going on every TV and radio station in the country
that'll have him, except this one because he's afraid of
the tough questions, bragging about how no he wants to
cooperate with the federal government to get those people who
are here illegally committing other crimes. Here's the perfect opportunity, right,
do you think he'll support this bill? Eight five five
(28:04):

Speaker 7 (28:09):
Nine And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Let it Die fascinating because we spent the entire show
on this topic.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
The elk buried up to its neck and snow in
a woman's backyard. She did everything right. She called parks
in wildlife. They wouldn't come. I think the.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
State wrong, wrong, wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
To let that elk suffer and die. She organized a
rescue party. When they came out the next morning after breakfast.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
The elk was gone. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Point is we spent two hours yesterday on this and
the calls just that's not our topic today. But the
calls keep coming, the texts keep coming, and you know
what that I'm really glad to see that because that
just that just confirms my faith in humanity, because you
are these callers, there are cross party lines. These are
(29:03):
living creatures made by God. They feel pain, they have emotions,
and we can never let a creature die in pain
like that when there's something we can do the state
was wrong here, and so anyway, we continue your calls,
we'll get to that, but I want to let you
know I posted at dan Kaplis on Twitter, and please
look at it and follow me.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You'll be glad you did. One of the top five.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I'd ask you to take a look and tell me
if you agree. One of the top five top ten
pictures in presidential history. It is just it is just
such an amazing, captivating photo. It's so perfectly framed, it's
so inspiring. And I'll describe it to you if you're
(29:44):
in the car. It's President Trump giving women sports back
to girls and women, signing the executive order today, and
he's surrounded by all of these girls and women of
all ages. But they're tightly crowded together. It's like a
Norman Rockwell, they're tightly crowded together around him. He looks great,
(30:05):
and I love the two little kids in front. But
everybody is happy, and everybody's looking right at him as
he signs. And so I think it's the combination of
just all of these young girls and even children and
grown women, and everybody's so happy and and he looks great.
(30:25):
But the importance of this, the monumental importance of the
order he signed, So please do and thank you for
reposting it. Ryan, Please please do take a look at that.
It's so compelling. It is so compelling.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Craig and Berthig. You're on the Dan Kapli show. Welcome,
Hey Dan, you doing living the dream my friend?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Yeah, so I didn't hear the show yesterday, but just
kind of follow up on what I talked to your
Earth is and there about. So I got in from
birth to the versa every day the highway thirty six
and uh, one day last week I noticed traffic has stopped,
so everybody is not going anywhere. And I come up
on the scene and there's a wounded bel oak probably Oh,
(31:11):
I don't know. She's a couple of years old, standing
in the middle of the road. No one knows what
to do. Yeah, so the guy who got to hit
her it pulled over trying to fly traffic down. I stopped,
got out, got over there, went up, said hi, Elk,
how you do when she kind of looked at me like, oh,
thank you you're here, and grabbed her and walked her.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Off the start of the Wow, how cool.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Never hugged an elk before in my life. I went
she looked pretty thankful. Well, she's trying to get to
the entire herd, who's about one hundred yards down the road, and.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
She's not going to get that fart.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
So I got traffic stopped again and then walked her across
the other side of the road to the wide world.
She continues on with her life.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Wow, God love you man, what a great story. So
have you have you ever touched an elk before?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
So not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
The elk, Now, I'm sure you were being careful. They
didn't kick you or whatever, but the elk just seemed
to welcome you.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yeah, she did. She absolutly looked at me like, thank guys,
you're going to get me out of the road because
I'm going well, yeah, because this could probably get a
lot worse. And like I said, I don't believe you know,
I'll give her a fifty to fifty shot. I'm going
to say what it was. And he called the DOW
And I've seen these incidents before, and I realized they're
not going to respond because there's no way they go
out and track one elk, and heard of several hundred
(32:35):
in that area. So I wish you're the best, and
a lot of people thought it and well, God.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Love you man, God love you. Hey really appreciate that story.
Thank you, Craig. Wow, what a cool guy.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
What a great story.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
And it's you know, it just comes back to you
know why this story is dominated for two days just
because I mean, it doesn't may I'm a Democrat, Republican, male, female,
color raise, any of that stuff doesn't matter. We all know, right,
it's the way we're wired, the way we're built. We
know that these are God's creatures and they feel pain,
(33:13):
they have emotions, and even if somebody doesn't believe in God,
they just know, right, they just know that you cannot
allow an animal to unnecessarily suffer. And that's why I'm
so outraged at the state for refusing to rescue this animal.
And as as textures and callers said, if that had
(33:34):
been one of Jared Polis's precious wolves brought into the
state to chew up our ranchers livestock, you know, they
would have had helicopters and everything else to say.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
But no, it's just wrong. This is just wrong.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
But really the other thing that I appreciate is we've
heard from so many interesting people, you know what I mean,
from all different walks of life, and we're going to
try to get the woman who tried to save this elk.
She called the state, the state refused to help, and
then she recognized she organized this rescue crew came from
(34:09):
miles around with shovels to get the elk out and
then by the time they get out there in the
morning after breakfast, the elk was gone. So we're going
to try to get her on the show. I think
she's a hero, So tomorrow show. Hey, first, do check
out at Dan Caplis on Twitter, not just because I
want more followers, which I do, but also because it
is one of the most compelling political photos I've ever seen.
(34:31):
Trump today giving women sports back to girls and women,
but just the photo as he signs the order. You'll
enjoy it, no matter what, you'll enjoy it. And then
tomorrow I love this. Couple of Republicans have introduced to
bill would allow parole probation officers to cooperate with ICE.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Well Polis tough talking.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Polis has been out there saying no he wants he
wants Colorado to cooperate with ICE when it comes to
criminals who've committed other crimes.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Well this is the test, right do you think he's
going to support this spell?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Great job, Brian Kelly, join us tomorrow please on the
