Despite several pairs of Democratic Senators from swing states voting in favor of the Lake Riley Act, both Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) voted against the measure. Does this make Hick potentially more vulnerable in his 2026 bid for re-election?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Let that celebration continue and keep fighting for the American way,
because there are plenty right here in Denver who are
pursuing the opposite right now. So we're going to enjoy
that together today. Eight five five for zero five eight
two five five the number text d an five seven
seven three nine. So Denver Public schools, among others, gearing
(00:37):
up to oppose law enforcement and to shelter people here
illegally you have committed other crimes.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Could that really be true? Well, that seems to.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Be what we are embarking on right now, so we'll
certainly talk about that on the show today. Hick and
Looper and Benett both voting against the Lake and Riley Act,
which is about to be signed into law by President Trump,
put a great way to start his second term. Whereas
many prominent Democrats supported the Lake and Riley Law, which
(01:09):
as you know, simply commands I used to go out
and to hold and then actively hopefully deport folks here
illegally who are committing other crimes.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
So Hickenlooper and Bennett.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Now Hickenlooper's up in this cycle, right twenty six, and
then Bennett, if he runs again, we'll be up in
twenty eight. But both deciding to vote against that act.
So we'll get into the long list of Democrats who
supported it. You probably already know Fetterman did, but both
Democratic senators from the state of Georgia, Ossof and Warnock
(01:45):
supported the Lake and Riley Act as well, and so
very interesting that Hickenlooper should decide to vote against it.
Does that mean that he does not intend to run
in Colorado?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
He says he does.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
How do you think that will cut in Colorado? So
that on the table, along with much more today eight
five five for zero five eight two five five takes
d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Real quick, they're done on the vote, Yes, sir, I
find it interesting the breakdown of Democrats who supported this,
and multiple Democrats were two from the same state you mentioned.
Two of them, John Ossoff and Rafael Warnock from Georgia,
a purple state. Also my home state of Michigan, both
Alissa Slotkin and Gary Peters voted for it. Both Democrat
(02:31):
senators from New Hampshire, Maggie Hassen and Jean Shaheen, and
both Democratic senators from Nevada, Catherine Cortes Mastow and Jackie Rosen.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
What do you make of that? Well, how many.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Of those do you think actually do support the Lake
and Riley Act or how many voted for it because
they support staying in the Senate.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So my guess is that other than Fetterman, I would
guess that none of the others actually support the act.
They just know they'll get voted out of office if
they don't.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
One other state, Arizona, both Mark Kelly and the newly
elected Reuben Gego who defeated Carrie Lake, they supported the
Lake and Riley Act as well.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Which just brings you back to any sane and rational
person should.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Right, they should.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I mean, but I want to turn this into a
broader conversation. Interested in your take on it, my brother,
which is how did the Democratic Party? And I used
to be a Democrat, like as an eighteen year old,
my first vote was for Jimmy Carter, So how did
the Democratic Party ever get to the point where it
(03:38):
seems to revolve around now protecting folks here illegally who
have committed other crimes, which is a bizarre, preposterous proposition
to begin with, right, I mean, like who would do that?
And then protecting the ability to kill innocent human life
up to the moment of delivery. How does a party
(04:02):
ever get to the point where those are the two
big principles it revolves around.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I mean, it's just madness.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But that's the position that the hard secular left now
has put the Democratic Party in. And you can see
what's happening at the polls, right, So it's pretty darn
significant that you would get look at this, this group
of characters here who break with the Democratic Party over
the Lake and Riley Act, as they should by the way,
(04:31):
But yeah, Warnock and Ossoff both out of Georgia. We
just went through the whole list. That just tells you
how fatally flawed the Democratic Party is right now. Not
the fact they broke from the Party in the Lake
and Riley Act. That that shows you people you know,
trying to flee to some kind of safe harbor at
(04:51):
least for themselves.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
And to your point earlier, Dan, about the electoral significance
of this as we look at it cynically, and I
think you have to through that lens, especially when it
comes to Colorado, because both Michael Bennett, John hick and Looper. No,
they're in a safe blue state for the most part,
and yet both of them, Dan, not just one or
the other, both of them have presented themselves ostensibly as moderates.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Democrats of the same and we know that's a fallacy.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Now, Yeah, is anybody really buying that? I can't believe
anybody's really buying that. What they both are and this
isn't meant personally, but they're both irrelevant. I think anybody
would acknowledge that.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They're relevant to the extent that they're a reliable D vote,
and that's important in a close Senate, but beyond that,
they're irrelevant. They have no impact. They have no influence.
Is there one person in Colorado right now sitting around
a water cooler anywhere saying, hey, you know that Michael
Bennett or that John Hickenlooper. So I guess we should
(05:51):
be grateful for that, right, since they're a reliable hard
left vote. I guess it's a good thing that they
have no actual influence beyond that. The question, though, is
will this vote actually open up the possibility of defeating Hickenlooper.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I think it might.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean, there's lots of reasons to defeat him, and
lots of reasons to believe a really good GOP candidate
in Colorado might be able to do that. But this, yeah,
I think that spreads the same quite a bit, because
you're going to have and the evidence is right, both
Arizona senators, including Ruben Diego, voting for the Lake and
(06:29):
Riley Act, breaking with the Democratic Party, and is Reuben
Diego said, wait a second, the Democratic Party has separated
itself from working Latinos, and Ruben Diego's vote is proof
that working Latinos.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Want the Lake and Riley Act.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, absolutely so.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
John Hickenlooper now is casting a vote against working Latinos,
against the working Latinos, against the wishes of lots of
other Latinos, and against the wishes of lots of other
sane people.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So the name that pops into my head, Dan then
based on what you just said, and I think there
might be a lane here because he served in an
interim fashion in the House as a Republican replacing Ken Buck,
and that would be Greg Lopez perhaps.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Challenging John Hicken looking inside.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And I like Greg a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think you're going to have lots of talented people
in the GOP you know who are thinking of doing that,
may do it. But my point is that I think
John Hick and Looper is vulnerable. I think he's more
vulnerable now because of the vote. I think he was
vulnerable before the vote because there's not going to be
(07:39):
much enthusiasm for him on the left. There's going to
be enthusiasm for keeping that CD, but there's not going
to be much enthusiasm for him. So now the question is, Okay,
can you come up with the GOP candidate who does
generate a lot of enthusiasm and has some crossover appeal
Because I do think Kick and Looper is vulnerable.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Always been popular, and I think in.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Part he's always been popular because a lot of people
don't know enough about him. Like when he got out
on the national stage, I predicted for years he'd immediately
flopped for lots of different reasons, including taking his mother
to see Deep Throat right, because that's an automatic separator
from sane people. That that is an automatic just deep
(08:24):
reveal about the fact that I enjoyed John Hickenlooper the
times I've been together with him like a charity.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Stuff for this, or that I have thoroughly enjoyed the guy.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
But in terms of whether he should be a US
senator or a governor from Colorado or whatever, absolutely not.
There are too many big separators. And taking your mom
to see deep throat and then not saying, OMG, this
is deep throat, this isn't Bambi, Let's get the hell
out of here. I mean that that is such a separator.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
This isn't from your typical human right. I mean, what
about you, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I bet everybody listening can share a story, and I'd
like to hear him personally eight five five for zero
five eight two five five text d A N five
seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
If I'd be.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Sitting there watching a TV show with my mom and
some people would start kissing, I'd fake a stroke or
something and get out of the room totally. I mean,
it is absolutely, literally unimaginable to sit there with my
mother while two people have intimate relations on a screen.
Who could do that, let alone deep throat, which I could.
(09:32):
I never even saw and I'm no prude, even I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Go to that.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Did you see that? Not with my I guess I
should ask how many times?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
No? No, right, it's a history. No, we got to.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Hit a break witch is a gift from God?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yes, what's that? But oh you saw it for art class?
Well no, no, no, nothing like that, but you were a class.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'm aware of it because along the same lines as
Debbie does Dallas. It's from an era where that was
kind of like the origin story for that realm.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
But to your point, Dan, it's such a good one.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Oh my lord, you don't try to make this academic.
Well there is. You're trying to make this some academic exercise.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So you went to see Deep Throat because it was
required by one of your professions.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I didn't go to see it.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
I'm just aware of the history of it along with oh,
he does Dallas the other film in the seventies.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah, yeah, and for historical reasons.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I'm not defending John Hickenlooper watching it with his mom.
That's ridiculous and weird and creepy.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, so you read Playboy for the article, but anyway,
I get it, and the Jimmy Carter Interview eight five
five for zero five eight two five five takes d
a N five seven seven three nine. So when we
come back, what will play some sound of now that
the left in Colorado, including Denver public schools, going to
(10:49):
try to thwart law enforcement. But do have to ask
you it is Hick and Looper now beatable in Colorado?
I think he was even before this vote against the
Lake and Riley ec but he voted against the bill
that John Ossoff and Rafael Warnock supported. So is can
Hick and Luper now be beat in Colorado? Or is
it beaten? Beat or beaten? Eight five five five two
(11:13):
five five will answer that question too on the Dan
Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast. It
sounds like they treated you with contempt again.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I think they use the terminology you would not being
a good Democrat. I think that was their philosophy that
I was supposed to silently watch what happens to this city.
And I love this city. This is a city that
I gave my life to protect, and I was watching
the erosion we would get in almost eight thousand MICUs
(11:47):
and asylum seekers a week sixteen thousand every two weeks,
and we were being compelled by the Legal Aids Society
to find them housing within a short period of time
until we had to go back to court and fight
that this, this humanitarian crises is.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Not what is normally.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Someone hasn't the right to have a shelter within the city.
And they were coming in one, two, three am in
the morning. It was a constant overturn.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, half of them are sent by Polish, right, didn't Polis,
You know at Polis and Johnston know so holier than
now when it comes to the newcomers, And they kicked
him in the button and sent him to New York,
at least a bunch of them. So that's Eric Adams
angling for a pardon. Do you want him to get
a pardon? Ryan, I wouldn't be against it.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
I would prefer that he continue this journey that he
apparently is on coming over to our side. I think
common sense would lead him in that direction. But Donald
Trump has had a conversation with him, I think relates
to him on that level of the weaponization of the
justice system. And I wouldn't be surprised if a pardon
came his way. Oh, I'd be surprised if there wasn't one.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I mean, everybody's getting pardoned right now, why not pardon him?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Right? Agreed?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
It didn't Trump kind of promise him one at the
l Smith dinner.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
He strongly hinted at it. Yes, y yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
And and listen, I mean, looking at the way that
the Biden White House corrupted corruptly used DOJ I wouldn't
be at all surprised if the charges against Adams were
because he was speaking out against the left on immigration
and against the White House and immigration. I don't know
that for a fact, but given other stuff Biden does,
(13:25):
I wouldn't be shocked. So, yeah, if you're going to
be pardoning you know that the Biden family at the
very last minute, literally, if you're going to be pardoning
the whole J six thing, fauci everybody else, all these
pardons getting thrown around, why not give Adams one eight
five five for zero five eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine Probably be
(13:46):
good for Trump politically. I wonder if maybe his his
overall plan was, you know, because before Biden pulled that
super dirty, last minute pardon of a bunch of his family,
I think Trump was probably still anticipating maybe some negative
political fallout from the very broad.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
JA six pardons.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And then then I think Biden completely you know, took
them off the hook on that with slimy stuff from Biden.
But I wonder if the plan was to then wait
a couple of days and then pardon Adams. So yeah,
I'll be surprised if we don't see one. Who else
do you want pardoned?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Oh wow, that's a good question for the listeners out there.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
They can call it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, well that's what I'm there for.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Five for five eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Text DA and five seven, seventh or nine. If you
just joined us, thank you. We're talking about. Okay, Now,
John Hickelebrezzy beatable in Colorado by the right Republican particularly
now after voting against the Lake and Riley ac that
a whole bunch of far left Dems voted for because
it just says, I you gotta go get and keep
these people that if they're here illegally and they commit
(14:53):
other crimes, you gotta go get them. And then really important.
It's not getting a lot of chatter, but it is
a really important.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Adam to the bill.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I think cornin edit It is this provision that lets
state attorney generals now sue the Feds if they're not
adequately enforcing immigration law and the states getting hurt because
of that. So this is a hugely important bill. What
a great start for the GOP and for Trump. Let
me get to some of these wonderful texters. Dan, don't
(15:22):
forget the joke that Nixon went to see Deep Throat
three times to make sure I can't read the last
part of that, Dan Ryan, deep Throat is a historical film.
Let's ask Christian total his take on that Friday that
from Alexa Ryan trying to claim that Deep Throat is
some type of academic exercise.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Yeah, just that it's historically significant for its era when
it happened, because it was the advent of that film genre.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Whether you like it or.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Not, what genre smut porn?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You're telling me deep Throat was the and and look
at the words you're using. The advent historical significance me, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
The mainstreaming of it in popular culture. Deep Throat was
one Debbie does Dallas was another. They both occurred in
the nineteen seventies. I'm just stating facts. Don't shoot the messenger.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, no, No, Listen, you know more about this stuff than I.
Why Dan wasn't LaCl and Riley from Georgia. Yes, and
the implication being that's why Osuf and Warnock voted for
the Lake and Riley ac No. I think they voted
for the act because they knew they were going to
get their butts thrown out of office if they didn't,
because the people wanted Any sane person would want this.
This is not an act that says to port everybody
(16:34):
here ilegally.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
This is an act that says, go get.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Them if they're here illegally and they commit other crimes.
You know what, sane person would not support that. That's
why he had so many Dems crossover. I mean, I
don't think any of the other than Fetterman actually believed
in the law.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
They just wanted to survive Dan.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You forgot that Poulos was hanging around the water cooler
talking about Bennett and Hickelooper and their votes.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Do you think that he was.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Because all right, where does polist go from here? You know,
he clearly is like so many of these politicians now
who get a taste of it and then require perpetual
behind kissing. Right, because all these guys and gals, they
just get hooked on, getting kissed.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Up to all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
They live in this this yes man and yes woman bubble.
And it's hard to picture him now willingly getting out
of that, which means he would have to run hicken
Looper out to go after that Senate seat, right, because
as predicted on the show, there's not going to be
any Democrat administration for Polis to buy his way into.
So now he's got a steamroll hicken Looper or wait
(17:40):
a couple of years and then try to steamroll.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Bennett out of it. Right, it's gonna where does Polist go?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
What does Polist do?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And maybe goes and lives with the wolves now just
wandering through Eagle County forest land, preying on livestock. I mean,
what does he do? I just see him in one
of those wolf suits.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
It's kind of comical to think about. And now I'm
gonna try to project that into my mind. I think
is his best route if I were, if I were
legitimately trying to advise Jared Polis, not that he would
consider my advice, but he would go the Harold Ford route,
kind of the reasonable center left libertarian democrat that goes
on Fox News as a panelist or pundit makes easy money.
(18:23):
You know, he's in the public eye. He gets his
ego gratified that way. I think that would be the
kind of easiest path for him.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah, but to what end?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I mean, because yeah, he wants to be president, right,
and he claims to be mister Freedom, and then it
just takes one question. Right, It's like that scene from
Indiana Jones, remember that where some guy takes out all
these nunchucks and everything and he's whipping them around, and
then Indiana.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Jones just pulls out his gun one bullet.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
The guy's gone, I mean, you know, with a Polis
when he's doing the mister Freedom thing the Free State
of Colorado, I Jared Polus.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
And mister Freedom, Oh yeah, aren't you the guy who fired.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Up people because they wouldn't take an experimental medicine you
ordered him to take? I mean yeah, all of that
just blows up in a hurry. So it'll be interesting
to watch if he tries to force Hick and lu Brow,
because else where does he go eight five for five
two five five takes d an five seven, seven through nine.
When we come back DPS and others on the left
(19:21):
preparing to defy and thwart law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
This should be good. My money is on law enforcement overwhelmingly.
So you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast boy.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
One of the great walk ups, which reminds me Ryan,
we've got to talk about Carrie Underwood when when we're
done talking with our good friend Deborah Flora, who has
that wonderful walk up music.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I thought Carrie Underwood that that was one of the.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Best parts of the inauguration, right because the sound goes out,
She's got to just go a cappella and no fear.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Just nailed that beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Deborah Flora. Welcome back to the Dankapler Show.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Are you doing, Deborah, I'm doing great. Love that song
and thank you for that intro. I will not sing
it because I don't sound like Harry Underwood, but I
do appreciate the great.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
To be with you, man, I'll tell you if I
was a female, that is the song I would want.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
That is That is my welcome music.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But yeah, before we get into the big life and
desk stuff of the day, that great event, you know,
the the inaugural ball in Denver that Lennon Bowl put
on not tell us about it had to be a
wonderful eaving and broke my heart not to be there,
but yeah, that had to be a blast.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It was back in seventeen.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
It was so much fun. Yeah, Dan, we missed having
you there. Would love to have had you join us.
That was the Colorado Inaugural Ball put on the Linkkin
Club of Colorado. A great event. We had nearly four
hundred amazing, awesome God. Yeah, I was honored to, you know,
to speak at it and mpe next time you and
(20:59):
I have to do that to get that would be fun.
But it was wonderful because we got to celebrate not
just the real opportunity to restore our country with the
new administration, but also Colorado wins as well. And I
got to tell you, I was joking that I've spoken
so much all over Colorado and really been honored to
do that. My job is usually cheering people up after
(21:19):
a bad election. So we had an all out party
on Monday night. It was super fun.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You were ready, and yeah, Deborah always has something great cooking.
And we're talking a little today about school choice, which obviously, yes,
is just the.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Key to the future. But what do you have coming
up on that?
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Yeah, thank you so much, dam for this opportunity. We
want to invite everyone who's listening. Next week is National
School Choice Week. And I got to tell you when
I started the group parents and I I in America
about gosh five years now because of what I saw
happening under the Dome in Denver with parents rights being
trot over and then we flipped our school board in
(21:58):
Douglas County. You know, I was waiting for this movement
to be where it is now, which is phenomenal. And
by the way, National School Choice Week is not a
partisan issue. The vast majority of American citizens, regardless of
their party affiliation, are for school choice because they understand
it benefits every child. So to celebrate all of this,
(22:21):
we have next Tuesday, January twenty eighth, on the west
steps of the Cholera Capitol Building in Denver. Parents United America,
the organization I've founded and I'm still on the board,
as well as choler Appearance Advocates and Network, are going
to be hosting a rally. It's going to be fun.
It's going to feature students whose lives have been transformed
(22:43):
because of school choice families who benefited school administrators, teachers.
It's going to be a great event, and we invite
everyone to join us.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I'll tell you it's one of the reasons I'm so
optimistic about the future, right because just the archite justice thing,
and someday this nation is going to have true school choice.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
And at that point, yes, it's so.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Many middle and lower income folks disproportionately, so many folks
of color are going to be liberated, and so many
kids are now going to have a full and equal
opportunity to compete and succeed. It's just going to transform
the nation in so.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Many wonderful ways.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So just another reason to be optimistic.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But hey, what was your personal highlight from inauguration Day?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (23:32):
You know what, I think, whether it was you know,
here was my There were so many great moments, but
my favorite line from inauguration day is American has decline
has stopped.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Today.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
I love this country and the idea that my children
and their children would not inherit this great nation that
we have. I do believe it has stopped. And I
think that's exciting. And Hey, one other comment I want
to make about the importance of school choice, because that's
how we also make sure that this this shift we
fall in our country goes beyond four years.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
It's the future of education.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
I just wanted to share also that there is great
educational school choice breaking out all over the country, and
I think everybody knows that, as you were saying, it
benefits most underprivileged students, my students at minority and students
of special needs. And I've got a personal story of
why I am such a huge proponent on top of
(24:25):
carrying about all children. We have two children, one who
is autistic and one who's a traditional learner, and anybody
who has more than one child knows how different they are.
And if we hadn't had school choice, I don't know
where our daughter would be today. But she's now as
a twenty one year old young woman running her own business,
wildly successful, so they kind ofver intertwined. I was so
(24:48):
enjoying inauguration day because I do believe there's a shift
to principles that should not be partisan. But it's time
to get government back to its position that is the
correct role of govern which is limited. And also, by
the way, get politics out of the classroom. That's really
all of this mix together.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Well, Deborah, appreciate the time. How do people follow you?
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Oh great, well, thank you. Yeah, they can follow me
on Twitter at Deborah Flora one. I guess there's another
Debra Flora. So I'm Deborah Flora one, the number one.
And then they can find out about this school choice
event that is going on, this school Choice rally celebrating
school choice by going to the Parents United America Facebook
page or they can email info atcholorappearance dot org. We
(25:35):
hope everybody comes for the celebration, and I appreciate this
time to get the word out because it's coming to
Colorado too. We're going to expand school choice here, I
believe with some exciting developments. I've been traveling all over
the country now promoting school choice policy around the country,
and there's some exciting things happening that I think are
going to be happening nationally as well. So there's a
lot to celebrate.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Aim into that. Well, thank you, Deborah, you take care.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
I well, thank you so much, Dan, and you take
care as well.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Bye bye, thank you. That is a Deborah Flora. Hey.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
So many great texts come in and I love this one.
Dan funny how the left, he humanizes unborn babies for
abortion purposes, but now says illegal babies are actually babies.
And I wonder if the Texter is thinking of this
New York Times headline, because I took a picture of
it when I saw it last night. This is New
York Times. I think page one undocumented women ask will
(26:28):
my unborn child be a citizen? And that's in the
New York Times. Not if so, just think about that. Now,
that is accurate reporting by the New York Times. This is,
in fact a human being who is simply happens to
be located inside the mother at that moment. It's like, Okay,
you got this ferrari and you park it in the garage. Okay,
(26:51):
it's a ferrari. You take it out of the garage.
It's a ferrari. You got the baby inside the mom.
It's a human baby outside the mom. It's a human baby.
So nice of the New York Times to finally become enlightened.
Didn't catch up with physiology one oh one, Yeah, will
my unborn child be a citizen? So see, we're making
(27:15):
progress on every single front. Eight fy five for Joe
five two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Uh, you know what I want to know, Ryan,
when you talk about favorite days from favorite moments from
inauguration day, I want to know what Baron Trump said
to Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Did you see that exchange? I did see that exchange,
and the world may never know.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Oh, it's going to know.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's gonna know, man, Baron Trump has to talk about
it at some point. But let me describe it. You
correct me if I'm wrong. For those who haven't seen it.
Baron Trump goes up to Joe Biden, just the two
of them, and you could tell Biden thought it was
going to be some glad handing. He has this big
smile on his face. Oh a Trump is going to
pay the respect to me. Baron Trump shakes his hand,
(28:02):
leans in close, and says just a few words, and
then Biden's face goes ashen and he looks like in
total shock.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
What were those words?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I'd love to hear people their guests on at eight
five five for Zoe five eight two five five takes
d A n five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
What do you think Baron Trump said to Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Well, he's a young man of few words, but he
seems in it from all reports like his mother to
be extremely intelligent. I believe she's taught him a few languages,
so I have a feeling they might have been poignant, polite, respectful,
but to get the reaction that he did from Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Dan, Yeah, my young friend, I completely disagree with you.
I think they were probably very well chosen words to
the point, but I think they were probably appropriately aggressive.
And I've got a thought as to what he said,
and I'll share that when I come back. We have
lots more to do, but this was a moment. And
what do you think Baron Trump said to Joe Biden?
(29:06):
And when we come back, we'll have that sound yet
DPS planning to defy law enforcement. This should be interesting
and we all know who's going to win that one.
You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I just want to look at that salute that he
gave again.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Just if anybody missed it, we'll just show it again.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
He's just wrapped up here. You can hear.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
The there, all right, So we just showed that. We
just showed that, right.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
It's worth loot. It was quick.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
I think our viewers are smart and they can take
a look at that.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
But it certainly was. It's not something that you typically
see in American political rallies.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Put it that way. No, no, it was not something
that you usually would see. And it was quick, as
you point out, it was very quick, but it was
it was.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
In a moment of intensity for him as he came
out dancing and then he.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Did that.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You know, they've learned nothing, have they, And as aggravated
it is it you just have to welcome this from
the left because all they're doing is they're just digging
themselves deeper and deeper and deeper. When they tried to
now say that Elon Musk some sort of Nazi sign,
which is obviously patently ridiculous. But Rachel Maddow, of course,
(30:26):
if she's even relevant anymore, cut too.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Please, In case you haven't seen this yet, this today
was Elon Musk, richest man in the world, biggest political
donor in the history of our country. This is him
today twice throwing something that looks like what is politely
called the Roman salute at the Hockey Arena in Washington
(30:50):
before Trump's appearance there tonight. And maybe this is not
what he meant when he did it. Who among us
knows what is in the hearts of men. Mister Musk
has not yet commented on what he was doing here,
but the Roman salute is a thing, and that is
what it looks like Elon Musk was doing, which added
(31:10):
a nice blood curdling chill to the day for many
people today.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And think about how that defamation verdict against CNN and
Jake Tapper last week affected what you just heard, right,
Because it wasn't that long ago that both Aaron Burnett
on CNN with Cassie Hunt and then Rachel Maddow would
have gone straight to the Nazi salute thing. But they
(31:35):
have to know in their mind and in their heart
that isn't true, and that's not what he was doing.
But I don't think they held off going all the
way on that out of the goodness of their hearts.
I think they held off because Jake Tapper and CNN
just got nailed for defamation.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
And I think Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Could probably afford a pretty good attorney, but he wouldn't
have to because I'd do it for free for him,
because I love the fact that you have more and
more people now standing up to this lying lefty media
and calling them out and suing them for defamation where appropriate,
because under New York Times, as you know, it's a
very high standard if a public figure is going to
(32:14):
sue for defamation. But there is still a standard, and
so yeah, I think that's why they.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Couched it the way they did.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
But how insidious to even suggest anything inappropriate if you
haven't seen the gesture yet. Obviously Elon Musk was saying
to the crowd it was from his heart, you know,
tapping his heart and then his arm shoots up to
the crowd. He was saying, it was an I love
you kind of gesture. For anybody to imply anything else
is really a gift to to Trump and the right,
(32:42):
because again, it just further separates these crazy lefties from
real America and CNN.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
How many people did they lay off today, Ryan, like
three hundred?
Speaker 5 (32:51):
And to mention as well, s, I was there in
person in real time.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
What did you take it? I didn't see anything.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Resemble bling a Nazi symbol or salute, or anybody around
me who recognized it as such or even observed it.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
We were all talking, we're all cheering for Elon.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
He was responding to the crowd, this is absolutely ludicrous.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
But like you said, they're left grasping at straws.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
They're kind of dancing and whistling through the graveyard about
you know, they're not directly saying it, but Casey Hunt going, well,
our viewers are smart and they know well, if your
viewers are smart, one, they wouldn't be watching CNN in
the first place. And secondly, they would know that Elon
Musk is not a Nazi.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Giving a sig hile side.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
But I'll say this, Dan, I noticed more than a
handful of people, some that I know personally, on social
media so disappointing Facebook in particular, They're like, well, I
don't know, I thought it looked like a Nazi symbol
to me right.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Right now, I mean, yeah again, you know that's just
kinn backfire on the left like call this other garbage
like the woke Minister and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Texture to dam five seven seven.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
My thoughts on Baron's statement to Biden is, do you
have any idea who I am?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
A Texter?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Dan Baron Trump said to Joe Biden, we're out of
vanilla ice cream. I think Baron said payback is hell
that from Alexa. If you haven't seen the video yet,
when you get home tonight, please see it, because no.
I think Baron Trump said something very well thought out.
He'd probably been thinking of for a long time, probably
been thinking of from the day the Biden administration raided
(34:29):
their home in Mary Lago, including his mother's underwear drawer,
including his bedroom. I think he'd been thinking about it
as he saw his father put on this wrongful show
trial in New York. I think he'd been thinking about
it a long time. Those words he wanted to say
to the man who tried to force his father to
die in jail, and at that moment where his father
(34:52):
now has overcome all of that. I think parent Trump
knew exactly what he wanted to say to Joe Biden,
and from the reaction to Biden, I think the words
were perfectly chosen and hit their march.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
So this Texter Dan who says, my guess, as Baron said,
quote you forgot to pardon yourself.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
That's good. I like that.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
That is really really smart, really smart. And that may
be what he said because it had to be something
like that. It was short, it was to the point,
and it immediately gutted Biden. So yeah, that is a
really smart text right there. Here's the game plan. First,
thank you for being here. Second, when we come back, Yeah,
(35:40):
you've got DPS. And it goes to what I was
saying yesterday, Mayor Johnston so recklessly in Denver now alluding
to law enforcement, federal law enforcement as invaders, alluding to
terror that they're going to cause in Colorado. So now
you have DPS out there pledging to resist and try
(36:01):
to thwart law enforcement as law enforcement tries to do
something as radical has actually enforced the law. So when
we come back, God management willing. After this news break,
I want to play you sound now of the reporting
on this, and let's look ahead a little bit. How
do you think this is going to unfold? Do you
(36:21):
think the Trump administration, which yesterday made a big deal
of saying, hey, you know that they have done away
with the Biden rules that says you can't pursue someone
here illegally who's committed other crimes into say a school
or a church, or a funeral or a wedding or
something like that. Those rules are now in the past.
(36:44):
So what do you think, what do you think is
going to happen. If law enforcement now is pursuing somebody
here illegally you has committed other crimes into a school,
how do you think that's going to unfold? Should they
be pursued into a school, church, wedding funeral On The
Dan Capitol Show, Yeah,
This is Dan Caplis, and welcome to today's online podcast

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Let that celebration continue and keep fighting for the American way,
because there are plenty right here in Denver who are
pursuing the opposite right now. So we're going to enjoy
that together today. Eight five five for zero five eight
two five five the number text d an five seven
seven three nine. So Denver Public schools, among others, gearing
(00:37):
up to oppose law enforcement and to shelter people here
illegally you have committed other crimes.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Could that really be true? Well, that seems to.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Be what we are embarking on right now, so we'll
certainly talk about that on the show today. Hick and
Looper and Benett both voting against the Lake and Riley Act,
which is about to be signed into law by President Trump,
put a great way to start his second term. Whereas
many prominent Democrats supported the Lake and Riley Law, which
(01:09):
as you know, simply commands I used to go out
and to hold and then actively hopefully deport folks here
illegally who are committing other crimes.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
So Hickenlooper and Bennett.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Now Hickenlooper's up in this cycle, right twenty six, and
then Bennett, if he runs again, we'll be up in
twenty eight. But both deciding to vote against that act.
So we'll get into the long list of Democrats who
supported it. You probably already know Fetterman did, but both
Democratic senators from the state of Georgia, Ossof and Warnock
(01:45):
supported the Lake and Riley Act as well, and so
very interesting that Hickenlooper should decide to vote against it.
Does that mean that he does not intend to run
in Colorado?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
He says he does.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
How do you think that will cut in Colorado? So
that on the table, along with much more today eight
five five for zero five eight two five five takes
d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Real quick, they're done on the vote, Yes, sir, I
find it interesting the breakdown of Democrats who supported this,
and multiple Democrats were two from the same state you mentioned.
Two of them, John Ossoff and Rafael Warnock from Georgia,
a purple state. Also my home state of Michigan, both
Alissa Slotkin and Gary Peters voted for it. Both Democrat
(02:31):
senators from New Hampshire, Maggie Hassen and Jean Shaheen, and
both Democratic senators from Nevada, Catherine Cortes Mastow and Jackie Rosen.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
What do you make of that? Well, how many.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Of those do you think actually do support the Lake
and Riley Act or how many voted for it because
they support staying in the Senate.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So my guess is that other than Fetterman, I would
guess that none of the others actually support the act.
They just know they'll get voted out of office if
they don't.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
One other state, Arizona, both Mark Kelly and the newly
elected Reuben Gego who defeated Carrie Lake, they supported the
Lake and Riley Act as well.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Which just brings you back to any sane and rational
person should.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Right, they should.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I mean, but I want to turn this into a
broader conversation. Interested in your take on it, my brother,
which is how did the Democratic Party? And I used
to be a Democrat, like as an eighteen year old,
my first vote was for Jimmy Carter, So how did
the Democratic Party ever get to the point where it
(03:38):
seems to revolve around now protecting folks here illegally who
have committed other crimes, which is a bizarre, preposterous proposition
to begin with, right, I mean, like who would do that?
And then protecting the ability to kill innocent human life
up to the moment of delivery. How does a party
(04:02):
ever get to the point where those are the two
big principles it revolves around.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I mean, it's just madness.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But that's the position that the hard secular left now
has put the Democratic Party in. And you can see
what's happening at the polls, right, So it's pretty darn
significant that you would get look at this, this group
of characters here who break with the Democratic Party over
the Lake and Riley Act, as they should by the way,
(04:31):
But yeah, Warnock and Ossoff both out of Georgia. We
just went through the whole list. That just tells you
how fatally flawed the Democratic Party is right now. Not
the fact they broke from the Party in the Lake
and Riley Act. That that shows you people you know,
trying to flee to some kind of safe harbor at
(04:51):
least for themselves.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
And to your point earlier, Dan, about the electoral significance
of this as we look at it cynically, and I
think you have to through that lens, especially when it
comes to Colorado, because both Michael Bennett, John hick and Looper. No,
they're in a safe blue state for the most part,
and yet both of them, Dan, not just one or
the other, both of them have presented themselves ostensibly as moderates.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Democrats of the same and we know that's a fallacy.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Now, Yeah, is anybody really buying that? I can't believe
anybody's really buying that. What they both are and this
isn't meant personally, but they're both irrelevant. I think anybody
would acknowledge that.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They're relevant to the extent that they're a reliable D vote,
and that's important in a close Senate, but beyond that,
they're irrelevant. They have no impact. They have no influence.
Is there one person in Colorado right now sitting around
a water cooler anywhere saying, hey, you know that Michael
Bennett or that John Hickenlooper. So I guess we should
(05:51):
be grateful for that, right, since they're a reliable hard
left vote. I guess it's a good thing that they
have no actual influence beyond that. The question, though, is
will this vote actually open up the possibility of defeating Hickenlooper.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I think it might.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean, there's lots of reasons to defeat him, and
lots of reasons to believe a really good GOP candidate
in Colorado might be able to do that. But this, yeah,
I think that spreads the same quite a bit, because
you're going to have and the evidence is right, both
Arizona senators, including Ruben Diego, voting for the Lake and
(06:29):
Riley Act, breaking with the Democratic Party, and is Reuben
Diego said, wait a second, the Democratic Party has separated
itself from working Latinos, and Ruben Diego's vote is proof
that working Latinos.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Want the Lake and Riley Act.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, absolutely so.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
John Hickenlooper now is casting a vote against working Latinos,
against the working Latinos, against the wishes of lots of
other Latinos, and against the wishes of lots of other
sane people.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So the name that pops into my head, Dan then
based on what you just said, and I think there
might be a lane here because he served in an
interim fashion in the House as a Republican replacing Ken Buck,
and that would be Greg Lopez perhaps.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Challenging John Hicken looking inside.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And I like Greg a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think you're going to have lots of talented people
in the GOP you know who are thinking of doing that,
may do it. But my point is that I think
John Hick and Looper is vulnerable. I think he's more
vulnerable now because of the vote. I think he was
vulnerable before the vote because there's not going to be
(07:39):
much enthusiasm for him on the left. There's going to
be enthusiasm for keeping that CD, but there's not going
to be much enthusiasm for him. So now the question is, Okay,
can you come up with the GOP candidate who does
generate a lot of enthusiasm and has some crossover appeal
Because I do think Kick and Looper is vulnerable.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Always been popular, and I think in.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Part he's always been popular because a lot of people
don't know enough about him. Like when he got out
on the national stage, I predicted for years he'd immediately
flopped for lots of different reasons, including taking his mother
to see Deep Throat right, because that's an automatic separator
from sane people. That that is an automatic just deep
(08:24):
reveal about the fact that I enjoyed John Hickenlooper the
times I've been together with him like a charity.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Stuff for this, or that I have thoroughly enjoyed the guy.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
But in terms of whether he should be a US
senator or a governor from Colorado or whatever, absolutely not.
There are too many big separators. And taking your mom
to see deep throat and then not saying, OMG, this
is deep throat, this isn't Bambi, Let's get the hell
out of here. I mean that that is such a separator.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
This isn't from your typical human right. I mean, what
about you, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I bet everybody listening can share a story, and I'd
like to hear him personally eight five five for zero
five eight two five five text d A N five
seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
If I'd be.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Sitting there watching a TV show with my mom and
some people would start kissing, I'd fake a stroke or
something and get out of the room totally. I mean,
it is absolutely, literally unimaginable to sit there with my
mother while two people have intimate relations on a screen.
Who could do that, let alone deep throat, which I could.
(09:32):
I never even saw and I'm no prude, even I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Go to that.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Did you see that? Not with my I guess I
should ask how many times?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
No? No, right, it's a history. No, we got to.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Hit a break witch is a gift from God?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yes, what's that? But oh you saw it for art class?
Well no, no, no, nothing like that, but you were a class.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'm aware of it because along the same lines as
Debbie does Dallas. It's from an era where that was
kind of like the origin story for that realm.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
But to your point, Dan, it's such a good one.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Oh my lord, you don't try to make this academic.
Well there is. You're trying to make this some academic exercise.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So you went to see Deep Throat because it was
required by one of your professions.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I didn't go to see it.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
I'm just aware of the history of it along with oh,
he does Dallas the other film in the seventies.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah, yeah, and for historical reasons.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I'm not defending John Hickenlooper watching it with his mom.
That's ridiculous and weird and creepy.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, so you read Playboy for the article, but anyway,
I get it, and the Jimmy Carter Interview eight five
five for zero five eight two five five takes d
a N five seven seven three nine. So when we
come back, what will play some sound of now that
the left in Colorado, including Denver public schools, going to
(10:49):
try to thwart law enforcement. But do have to ask
you it is Hick and Looper now beatable in Colorado?
I think he was even before this vote against the
Lake and Riley ec but he voted against the bill
that John Ossoff and Rafael Warnock supported. So is can
Hick and Luper now be beat in Colorado? Or is
it beaten? Beat or beaten? Eight five five five two
(11:13):
five five will answer that question too on the Dan
Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast. It
sounds like they treated you with contempt again.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I think they use the terminology you would not being
a good Democrat. I think that was their philosophy that
I was supposed to silently watch what happens to this city.
And I love this city. This is a city that
I gave my life to protect, and I was watching
the erosion we would get in almost eight thousand MICUs
(11:47):
and asylum seekers a week sixteen thousand every two weeks,
and we were being compelled by the Legal Aids Society
to find them housing within a short period of time
until we had to go back to court and fight
that this, this humanitarian crises is.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Not what is normally.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Someone hasn't the right to have a shelter within the city.
And they were coming in one, two, three am in
the morning. It was a constant overturn.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, half of them are sent by Polish, right, didn't Polis,
You know at Polis and Johnston know so holier than
now when it comes to the newcomers, And they kicked
him in the button and sent him to New York,
at least a bunch of them. So that's Eric Adams
angling for a pardon. Do you want him to get
a pardon? Ryan, I wouldn't be against it.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
I would prefer that he continue this journey that he
apparently is on coming over to our side. I think
common sense would lead him in that direction. But Donald
Trump has had a conversation with him, I think relates
to him on that level of the weaponization of the
justice system. And I wouldn't be surprised if a pardon
came his way. Oh, I'd be surprised if there wasn't one.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I mean, everybody's getting pardoned right now, why not pardon him?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Right? Agreed?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
It didn't Trump kind of promise him one at the
l Smith dinner.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
He strongly hinted at it. Yes, y yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
And and listen, I mean, looking at the way that
the Biden White House corrupted corruptly used DOJ I wouldn't
be at all surprised if the charges against Adams were
because he was speaking out against the left on immigration
and against the White House and immigration. I don't know
that for a fact, but given other stuff Biden does,
(13:25):
I wouldn't be shocked. So, yeah, if you're going to
be pardoning you know that the Biden family at the
very last minute, literally, if you're going to be pardoning
the whole J six thing, fauci everybody else, all these
pardons getting thrown around, why not give Adams one eight
five five for zero five eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine Probably be
(13:46):
good for Trump politically. I wonder if maybe his his
overall plan was, you know, because before Biden pulled that
super dirty, last minute pardon of a bunch of his family,
I think Trump was probably still anticipating maybe some negative
political fallout from the very broad.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
JA six pardons.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And then then I think Biden completely you know, took
them off the hook on that with slimy stuff from Biden.
But I wonder if the plan was to then wait
a couple of days and then pardon Adams. So yeah,
I'll be surprised if we don't see one. Who else
do you want pardoned?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Oh wow, that's a good question for the listeners out there.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
They can call it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, well that's what I'm there for.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Five for five eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Text DA and five seven, seventh or nine. If you
just joined us, thank you. We're talking about. Okay, Now,
John Hickelebrezzy beatable in Colorado by the right Republican particularly
now after voting against the Lake and Riley ac that
a whole bunch of far left Dems voted for because
it just says, I you gotta go get and keep
these people that if they're here illegally and they commit
(14:53):
other crimes, you gotta go get them. And then really important.
It's not getting a lot of chatter, but it is
a really important.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Adam to the bill.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I think cornin edit It is this provision that lets
state attorney generals now sue the Feds if they're not
adequately enforcing immigration law and the states getting hurt because
of that. So this is a hugely important bill. What
a great start for the GOP and for Trump. Let
me get to some of these wonderful texters. Dan, don't
(15:22):
forget the joke that Nixon went to see Deep Throat
three times to make sure I can't read the last
part of that, Dan Ryan, deep Throat is a historical film.
Let's ask Christian total his take on that Friday that
from Alexa Ryan trying to claim that Deep Throat is
some type of academic exercise.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Yeah, just that it's historically significant for its era when
it happened, because it was the advent of that film genre.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Whether you like it or.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Not, what genre smut porn?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You're telling me deep Throat was the and and look
at the words you're using. The advent historical significance me, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
The mainstreaming of it in popular culture. Deep Throat was
one Debbie does Dallas was another. They both occurred in
the nineteen seventies. I'm just stating facts. Don't shoot the messenger.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, no, No, Listen, you know more about this stuff than I.
Why Dan wasn't LaCl and Riley from Georgia. Yes, and
the implication being that's why Osuf and Warnock voted for
the Lake and Riley ac No. I think they voted
for the act because they knew they were going to
get their butts thrown out of office if they didn't,
because the people wanted Any sane person would want this.
This is not an act that says to port everybody
(16:34):
here ilegally.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
This is an act that says, go get.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Them if they're here illegally and they commit other crimes.
You know what, sane person would not support that. That's
why he had so many Dems crossover. I mean, I
don't think any of the other than Fetterman actually believed
in the law.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
They just wanted to survive Dan.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You forgot that Poulos was hanging around the water cooler
talking about Bennett and Hickelooper and their votes.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Do you think that he was.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Because all right, where does polist go from here? You know,
he clearly is like so many of these politicians now
who get a taste of it and then require perpetual
behind kissing. Right, because all these guys and gals, they
just get hooked on, getting kissed.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Up to all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
They live in this this yes man and yes woman bubble.
And it's hard to picture him now willingly getting out
of that, which means he would have to run hicken
Looper out to go after that Senate seat, right, because
as predicted on the show, there's not going to be
any Democrat administration for Polis to buy his way into.
So now he's got a steamroll hicken Looper or wait
(17:40):
a couple of years and then try to steamroll.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Bennett out of it. Right, it's gonna where does Polist go?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
What does Polist do?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And maybe goes and lives with the wolves now just
wandering through Eagle County forest land, preying on livestock. I mean,
what does he do? I just see him in one
of those wolf suits.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
It's kind of comical to think about. And now I'm
gonna try to project that into my mind. I think
is his best route if I were, if I were
legitimately trying to advise Jared Polis, not that he would
consider my advice, but he would go the Harold Ford route,
kind of the reasonable center left libertarian democrat that goes
on Fox News as a panelist or pundit makes easy money.
(18:23):
You know, he's in the public eye. He gets his
ego gratified that way. I think that would be the
kind of easiest path for him.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah, but to what end?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I mean, because yeah, he wants to be president, right,
and he claims to be mister Freedom, and then it
just takes one question. Right, It's like that scene from
Indiana Jones, remember that where some guy takes out all
these nunchucks and everything and he's whipping them around, and
then Indiana.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Jones just pulls out his gun one bullet.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
The guy's gone, I mean, you know, with a Polis
when he's doing the mister Freedom thing the Free State
of Colorado, I Jared Polus.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
And mister Freedom, Oh yeah, aren't you the guy who fired.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Up people because they wouldn't take an experimental medicine you
ordered him to take? I mean yeah, all of that
just blows up in a hurry. So it'll be interesting
to watch if he tries to force Hick and lu Brow,
because else where does he go eight five for five
two five five takes d an five seven, seven through nine.
When we come back DPS and others on the left
(19:21):
preparing to defy and thwart law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
This should be good. My money is on law enforcement overwhelmingly.
So you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast boy.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
One of the great walk ups, which reminds me Ryan,
we've got to talk about Carrie Underwood when when we're
done talking with our good friend Deborah Flora, who has
that wonderful walk up music.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I thought Carrie Underwood that that was one of the.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Best parts of the inauguration, right because the sound goes out,
She's got to just go a cappella and no fear.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Just nailed that beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Deborah Flora. Welcome back to the Dankapler Show.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Are you doing, Deborah, I'm doing great. Love that song
and thank you for that intro. I will not sing
it because I don't sound like Harry Underwood, but I
do appreciate the great.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
To be with you, man, I'll tell you if I
was a female, that is the song I would want.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
That is That is my welcome music.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But yeah, before we get into the big life and
desk stuff of the day, that great event, you know,
the the inaugural ball in Denver that Lennon Bowl put
on not tell us about it had to be a
wonderful eaving and broke my heart not to be there,
but yeah, that had to be a blast.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It was back in seventeen.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
It was so much fun. Yeah, Dan, we missed having
you there. Would love to have had you join us.
That was the Colorado Inaugural Ball put on the Linkkin
Club of Colorado. A great event. We had nearly four
hundred amazing, awesome God. Yeah, I was honored to, you know,
to speak at it and mpe next time you and
(20:59):
I have to do that to get that would be fun.
But it was wonderful because we got to celebrate not
just the real opportunity to restore our country with the
new administration, but also Colorado wins as well. And I
got to tell you, I was joking that I've spoken
so much all over Colorado and really been honored to
do that. My job is usually cheering people up after
(21:19):
a bad election. So we had an all out party
on Monday night. It was super fun.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You were ready, and yeah, Deborah always has something great cooking.
And we're talking a little today about school choice, which obviously, yes,
is just the.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Key to the future. But what do you have coming
up on that?
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Yeah, thank you so much, dam for this opportunity. We
want to invite everyone who's listening. Next week is National
School Choice Week. And I got to tell you when
I started the group parents and I I in America
about gosh five years now because of what I saw
happening under the Dome in Denver with parents rights being
trot over and then we flipped our school board in
(21:58):
Douglas County. You know, I was waiting for this movement
to be where it is now, which is phenomenal. And
by the way, National School Choice Week is not a
partisan issue. The vast majority of American citizens, regardless of
their party affiliation, are for school choice because they understand
it benefits every child. So to celebrate all of this,
(22:21):
we have next Tuesday, January twenty eighth, on the west
steps of the Cholera Capitol Building in Denver. Parents United America,
the organization I've founded and I'm still on the board,
as well as choler Appearance Advocates and Network, are going
to be hosting a rally. It's going to be fun.
It's going to feature students whose lives have been transformed
(22:43):
because of school choice families who benefited school administrators, teachers.
It's going to be a great event, and we invite
everyone to join us.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I'll tell you it's one of the reasons I'm so
optimistic about the future, right because just the archite justice thing,
and someday this nation is going to have true school choice.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
And at that point, yes, it's so.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Many middle and lower income folks disproportionately, so many folks
of color are going to be liberated, and so many
kids are now going to have a full and equal
opportunity to compete and succeed. It's just going to transform
the nation in so.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Many wonderful ways.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So just another reason to be optimistic.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But hey, what was your personal highlight from inauguration Day?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (23:32):
You know what, I think, whether it was you know,
here was my There were so many great moments, but
my favorite line from inauguration day is American has decline
has stopped.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Today.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
I love this country and the idea that my children
and their children would not inherit this great nation that
we have. I do believe it has stopped. And I
think that's exciting. And Hey, one other comment I want
to make about the importance of school choice, because that's
how we also make sure that this this shift we
fall in our country goes beyond four years.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
It's the future of education.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
I just wanted to share also that there is great
educational school choice breaking out all over the country, and
I think everybody knows that, as you were saying, it
benefits most underprivileged students, my students at minority and students
of special needs. And I've got a personal story of
why I am such a huge proponent on top of
(24:25):
carrying about all children. We have two children, one who
is autistic and one who's a traditional learner, and anybody
who has more than one child knows how different they are.
And if we hadn't had school choice, I don't know
where our daughter would be today. But she's now as
a twenty one year old young woman running her own business,
wildly successful, so they kind ofver intertwined. I was so
(24:48):
enjoying inauguration day because I do believe there's a shift
to principles that should not be partisan. But it's time
to get government back to its position that is the
correct role of govern which is limited. And also, by
the way, get politics out of the classroom. That's really
all of this mix together.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Well, Deborah, appreciate the time. How do people follow you?
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Oh great, well, thank you. Yeah, they can follow me
on Twitter at Deborah Flora one. I guess there's another
Debra Flora. So I'm Deborah Flora one, the number one.
And then they can find out about this school choice
event that is going on, this school Choice rally celebrating
school choice by going to the Parents United America Facebook
page or they can email info atcholorappearance dot org. We
(25:35):
hope everybody comes for the celebration, and I appreciate this
time to get the word out because it's coming to
Colorado too. We're going to expand school choice here, I
believe with some exciting developments. I've been traveling all over
the country now promoting school choice policy around the country,
and there's some exciting things happening that I think are
going to be happening nationally as well. So there's a
lot to celebrate.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Aim into that. Well, thank you, Deborah, you take care.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
I well, thank you so much, Dan, and you take
care as well.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Bye bye, thank you. That is a Deborah Flora. Hey.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
So many great texts come in and I love this one.
Dan funny how the left, he humanizes unborn babies for
abortion purposes, but now says illegal babies are actually babies.
And I wonder if the Texter is thinking of this
New York Times headline, because I took a picture of
it when I saw it last night. This is New
York Times. I think page one undocumented women ask will
(26:28):
my unborn child be a citizen? And that's in the
New York Times. Not if so, just think about that. Now,
that is accurate reporting by the New York Times. This is,
in fact a human being who is simply happens to
be located inside the mother at that moment. It's like, Okay,
you got this ferrari and you park it in the garage. Okay,
(26:51):
it's a ferrari. You take it out of the garage.
It's a ferrari. You got the baby inside the mom.
It's a human baby outside the mom. It's a human baby.
So nice of the New York Times to finally become enlightened.
Didn't catch up with physiology one oh one, Yeah, will
my unborn child be a citizen? So see, we're making
(27:15):
progress on every single front. Eight fy five for Joe
five two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Uh, you know what I want to know, Ryan,
when you talk about favorite days from favorite moments from
inauguration day, I want to know what Baron Trump said
to Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Did you see that exchange? I did see that exchange,
and the world may never know.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Oh, it's going to know.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's gonna know, man, Baron Trump has to talk about
it at some point. But let me describe it. You
correct me if I'm wrong. For those who haven't seen it.
Baron Trump goes up to Joe Biden, just the two
of them, and you could tell Biden thought it was
going to be some glad handing. He has this big
smile on his face. Oh a Trump is going to
pay the respect to me. Baron Trump shakes his hand,
(28:02):
leans in close, and says just a few words, and
then Biden's face goes ashen and he looks like in
total shock.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
What were those words?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I'd love to hear people their guests on at eight
five five for Zoe five eight two five five takes
d A n five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
What do you think Baron Trump said to Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Well, he's a young man of few words, but he
seems in it from all reports like his mother to
be extremely intelligent. I believe she's taught him a few languages,
so I have a feeling they might have been poignant, polite, respectful,
but to get the reaction that he did from Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Dan, Yeah, my young friend, I completely disagree with you.
I think they were probably very well chosen words to
the point, but I think they were probably appropriately aggressive.
And I've got a thought as to what he said,
and I'll share that when I come back. We have
lots more to do, but this was a moment. And
what do you think Baron Trump said to Joe Biden?
(29:06):
And when we come back, we'll have that sound yet
DPS planning to defy law enforcement. This should be interesting
and we all know who's going to win that one.
You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I just want to look at that salute that he
gave again.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Just if anybody missed it, we'll just show it again.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
He's just wrapped up here. You can hear.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
The there, all right, So we just showed that. We
just showed that, right.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
It's worth loot. It was quick.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
I think our viewers are smart and they can take
a look at that.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
But it certainly was. It's not something that you typically
see in American political rallies.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Put it that way. No, no, it was not something
that you usually would see. And it was quick, as
you point out, it was very quick, but it was
it was.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
In a moment of intensity for him as he came
out dancing and then he.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Did that.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You know, they've learned nothing, have they, And as aggravated
it is it you just have to welcome this from
the left because all they're doing is they're just digging
themselves deeper and deeper and deeper. When they tried to
now say that Elon Musk some sort of Nazi sign,
which is obviously patently ridiculous. But Rachel Maddow, of course,
(30:26):
if she's even relevant anymore, cut too.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Please, In case you haven't seen this yet, this today
was Elon Musk, richest man in the world, biggest political
donor in the history of our country. This is him
today twice throwing something that looks like what is politely
called the Roman salute at the Hockey Arena in Washington
(30:50):
before Trump's appearance there tonight. And maybe this is not
what he meant when he did it. Who among us
knows what is in the hearts of men. Mister Musk
has not yet commented on what he was doing here,
but the Roman salute is a thing, and that is
what it looks like Elon Musk was doing, which added
(31:10):
a nice blood curdling chill to the day for many
people today.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And think about how that defamation verdict against CNN and
Jake Tapper last week affected what you just heard, right,
Because it wasn't that long ago that both Aaron Burnett
on CNN with Cassie Hunt and then Rachel Maddow would
have gone straight to the Nazi salute thing. But they
(31:35):
have to know in their mind and in their heart
that isn't true, and that's not what he was doing.
But I don't think they held off going all the
way on that out of the goodness of their hearts.
I think they held off because Jake Tapper and CNN
just got nailed for defamation.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
And I think Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Could probably afford a pretty good attorney, but he wouldn't
have to because I'd do it for free for him,
because I love the fact that you have more and
more people now standing up to this lying lefty media
and calling them out and suing them for defamation where appropriate,
because under New York Times, as you know, it's a
very high standard if a public figure is going to
(32:14):
sue for defamation. But there is still a standard, and
so yeah, I think that's why they.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Couched it the way they did.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
But how insidious to even suggest anything inappropriate if you
haven't seen the gesture yet. Obviously Elon Musk was saying
to the crowd it was from his heart, you know,
tapping his heart and then his arm shoots up to
the crowd. He was saying, it was an I love
you kind of gesture. For anybody to imply anything else
is really a gift to to Trump and the right,
(32:42):
because again, it just further separates these crazy lefties from
real America and CNN.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
How many people did they lay off today, Ryan, like
three hundred?
Speaker 5 (32:51):
And to mention as well, s, I was there in
person in real time.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
What did you take it? I didn't see anything.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Resemble bling a Nazi symbol or salute, or anybody around
me who recognized it as such or even observed it.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
We were all talking, we're all cheering for Elon.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
He was responding to the crowd, this is absolutely ludicrous.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
But like you said, they're left grasping at straws.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
They're kind of dancing and whistling through the graveyard about
you know, they're not directly saying it, but Casey Hunt going, well,
our viewers are smart and they know well, if your
viewers are smart, one, they wouldn't be watching CNN in
the first place. And secondly, they would know that Elon
Musk is not a Nazi.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Giving a sig hile side.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
But I'll say this, Dan, I noticed more than a
handful of people, some that I know personally, on social
media so disappointing Facebook in particular, They're like, well, I
don't know, I thought it looked like a Nazi symbol
to me right.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Right now, I mean, yeah again, you know that's just
kinn backfire on the left like call this other garbage
like the woke Minister and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Texture to dam five seven seven.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
My thoughts on Baron's statement to Biden is, do you
have any idea who I am?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
A Texter?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Dan Baron Trump said to Joe Biden, we're out of
vanilla ice cream. I think Baron said payback is hell
that from Alexa. If you haven't seen the video yet,
when you get home tonight, please see it, because no.
I think Baron Trump said something very well thought out.
He'd probably been thinking of for a long time, probably
been thinking of from the day the Biden administration raided
(34:29):
their home in Mary Lago, including his mother's underwear drawer,
including his bedroom. I think he'd been thinking about it
as he saw his father put on this wrongful show
trial in New York. I think he'd been thinking about
it a long time. Those words he wanted to say
to the man who tried to force his father to
die in jail, and at that moment where his father
(34:52):
now has overcome all of that. I think parent Trump
knew exactly what he wanted to say to Joe Biden,
and from the reaction to Biden, I think the words
were perfectly chosen and hit their march.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
So this Texter Dan who says, my guess, as Baron said,
quote you forgot to pardon yourself.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
That's good. I like that.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
That is really really smart, really smart. And that may
be what he said because it had to be something
like that. It was short, it was to the point,
and it immediately gutted Biden. So yeah, that is a
really smart text right there. Here's the game plan. First,
thank you for being here. Second, when we come back, Yeah,
(35:40):
you've got DPS. And it goes to what I was
saying yesterday, Mayor Johnston so recklessly in Denver now alluding
to law enforcement, federal law enforcement as invaders, alluding to
terror that they're going to cause in Colorado. So now
you have DPS out there pledging to resist and try
(36:01):
to thwart law enforcement as law enforcement tries to do
something as radical has actually enforced the law. So when
we come back, God management willing. After this news break,
I want to play you sound now of the reporting
on this, and let's look ahead a little bit. How
do you think this is going to unfold? Do you
(36:21):
think the Trump administration, which yesterday made a big deal
of saying, hey, you know that they have done away
with the Biden rules that says you can't pursue someone
here illegally who's committed other crimes into say a school
or a church, or a funeral or a wedding or
something like that. Those rules are now in the past.
(36:44):
So what do you think, what do you think is
going to happen. If law enforcement now is pursuing somebody
here illegally you has committed other crimes into a school,
how do you think that's going to unfold? Should they
be pursued into a school, church, wedding funeral On The
