Denver's talk station online dot com. A. Block from the I Heart studios in the Mile High City you have a Mike you're on the good guy at it is my high honor state introducing this is the Dan Catholic show you better believe it call and you better believe this storm is for real and we don't say that often do we learn we spend most of our time sort of mocking the forecast because how often is it overhyped in the interest to ratings and then boom you know turns out to be a flake or 2 but so far all indications are yeah we're going to have an interesting day or 2 I hope it's a safe day or 2 for you and I think the best way to make that happen is stay off the roads if you can glad you're here at 554058255 the number toll free border to border in the great state of Colorado the storm moving in as you know from the north we're here in the Denver tech center area just literally getting the 1st few flakes Oh man it feels like snow doesn't it you know you can feel it it's like obscenity you know hard to define but you know when you see it you can know a storm coming when you feel it and I think you can feel this one so hope you feel warm and toasty in your office or home listening to the entire show and calling no more than twice actually once please 57739 if you'd like to text the show started the day and heat away log since going to be with us at 437 I hope you're here for the entire show but particularly for Wayne because he's editorial pages editor at the Colorado Springs Gazette which is one of those great jams it's a tremendous newspaper could be operating out of Miami or Chicago or Denver or wherever and it happens to be based in Colorado Springs but it is doing Pilates or quality work and he will join us at 437 to talk about their editorial I wish it was a Denver Post editorial in addition to it is that editorial It's titled John Hicks . Looper shows why he's not cut out to be a senator so we'll have that conversation at 437 and I hope that you agree with that already and if you don't I hope that you'll be persuaded by it and once you are persuaded I hope that you know you'll do what you can just to sort of you know educate folks on the real John Hickenlooper because once they understand the real John Hickenlooper not the image out there he will not be our next u.s. Senator from Colorado and Cory will remain in that very important position glad you're here and important I say not so much just because it's a u.s. Senate seat Michael Bennett has shown how quickly and dramatically a u.s. Senate seat can be totally wasted it's an important position when it's filled the right way as Corey is done and he's become a big hitter a big player very early in his Senate career Hecker early in his 1st term and so that any even if you disagree with his policies I mean you've got to give him the fact that he has really made use of that seat on behalf of conservatism and on behalf of Colorado So anyway that conversation at 437 with Wayne logs now in the meantime that tough thing for Ryan and I is where the heck do we start this show used to be Thanksgiving week you know everybody goes into a different file it's just nobody wants to talk about anything serious it's just kind of that mellow you know week long Thanksgiving enjoyment and that's a beautiful thing but it can't be that way right now it isn't that way right now for people because 1st there's this ongoing coup attempt but there's also so much going on in the world and so really hope you can have a very peaceful Thanksgiving but we're going to keep the pedal to the metal Monday through Wednesday this week so glad you're here let's come out of the gate and this will be kind of a lightning round type of show because we have so much ground to cover so feel free to call at any time you can and in the meantime we'll be covering topic after topic . I want to start with the city Gallagher stuff that has been in the news and you heard it at the top of our newscast today did the president do the right thing stepping in and giving this direct order to the defense secretary hey you know Eddie Gallagher is going to retire at full rank chief petty officer and it's interesting because that doesn't sound like that lofty a title but when you stop and think about what it means in this context we're talking about Navy SEALs you know that's about as good as it gets so Chief Petty Officer Trump demands it obviously the defense secretary ended up Navy secretary Richard Spencer ended up losing his job over all of this bottom line was the president right to step in and essentially defy his top command and give that order 855-405-8255 the number and everybody's welcome of course we work for you here but would really love to hear from veterans or current military really love to get your take on this because you know the rest of us out here we can conceptualize it we understand the basic ideas of chain of command we're all grateful for your service obviously but would love to get your take on whether the president did the right thing here and I'm really interested in that too because of course I sit here as everybody does wondering about how is this going to play out politically. For the president my 1st reaction is and my 2nd reaction my 3rd and 4th reaction is it's going to work well for him politically because I think he's already shown when something I've said for 25 years on air when you let the u.s. Military when they will win every time and they will win in the most efficient possible way and we saw that with Obama's dithering when it came to the Islamic state we ended up with one of the worst courage is in human history I mean truly Satan himself unleashed on the planet and all forms of say tannic type torture and mass murder because Obama death or you know when President Trump was elected said Ok u.s. Military I'm going to let you do your thing it didn't take them long to win and there's no permanent victory when you talk about an ideological slash violent enemy like this but the idea is are you doing everything you can to protect the American people and eliminate this evil from the face of the earth and the answer is clearly yes because we have the greatest military minister the world but the president backed off and let them do their thing so I think the American people are very grateful for that beyond even what shows in the polls certainly way beyond total How to people would admit when you get together over the bird on Thursday because we all known will I'm sure do that on the show on Wednesday how do you navigate Thanksgiving in polarizing times so you're going to have half the people surrounding the hopefully thoroughly cooked turkey who will not be willing to give the president credit for anything but deep down they will be very glad that he is on the wall or to be more precise that he is letting the men and women on the wall do what they need to do to protect us I know are kind of paraphrasing a few good men there but it's true and then the other half of us will just outright say well you know really glad we have a strong president. And strength is his brain so I'm glad he did this and I'm not trying to say it's a silver bullet and there are some possible downsides here and there but there are virtually everything in life right you step in the shower this morning there is a possible downside but strength is his brand I'm glad he did what he did and a stronger u.s. Military one that's allowed to do what they do so well is better for all of us and the world we live in your thoughts 855-405-8255 the number wait there's more much much more today and. This Rudy Giuliani stuff I know the question I was asking myself this morning is is he knots or or does he really have the trump card on the Democrats and I say that with affection I appreciate all the great things Rudy Giuliani has done and believe me I have not at all concluded that this guy is nuts but he is in a very pressure packed spot right now quite obviously what's so baffling to me is wait a 2nd if this was out in the open the fact that he was traveling to the Ukraine on behalf of the president if that was all out in the open but now. Is the administration do you think they're going to throw money to the boss or are they going to make him a fall guy for a crime that wasn't committed by anybody have you talked to President shop in the last week or 2 of you met with him I don't discuss I do not discuss by conversations with my client you can assume that I talked to him early and often. Yeah and have a very very good relationship with him and all of these comments which are totally insulting Yeah I mean I say I'm saying things written like he's going to throw me under the bus when they say that I say he isn't but I have insurance I think it is ridiculous we have very good friends and then Rudy said later that he was joking so what do you make of that do you think this was a shot over the bottle from Rudy to the president you know intone even think about throwing me under the bus how do you interpret that 855-405-8255 Ryan how do you interpret that maybe a little bit mean these are 2 New Yorkers right going toe to toe and they've been in it the bunker together I could see where you're picking up what he's putting down there where it was just a slight subtle soft warning or not so subtle rethink he has insurance. Well think about it attorney client privilege all that he knows you know better than I do what that's all about especially as unlike President Trump I didn't think there was attorney client privilege after Michael Cohen Oh no that that's just during a coup attempt that's the raw attempt exemption Don't Try This At Home The truth is a he spent a lawyer for 36 years believe me attorney client privilege that that is sacred and just the whole idea but again remember the whole and we're going to get to some sound that the ties back to that to that crew 1.0 We're in the middle of crew 2.0 right now but I am very very confident that Rudy Giuliani would never break attorney client privilege at the same time I have absolutely no doubt but he has quote unquote insurance does that mean that he knows of crimes committed by President Trump No because I don't think President Trump has likely committed any crimes but does he probably know embarrassing information about the president I would guess that he does so I took that I didn't take that as a joke I took that as a very smart guy who has been prosecuting big time criminals for a long time who understands the reality of the moment and is just letting the president know don't even think about it. Even think about it you've just written a letter to Lindsey Graham I've got it here asking that he help you get 3 Ukrainians who want visas to come to America to testify about the recent what would they say about very small and 100 by well well you know it's real simple as this case is a this case been real simple from the day that Joe Biden confessed to committing bribery back in January of 2018 and the Council on Foreign Relations didn't know anything about it although he said precisely what was attributed to President Trump a year and a half later they caused all sorts of basically they'll prove that he committed bribery the crime of bribery is offering something of value to a public official for official action. Ok here's what you know Biden says he did he offered him a $1000000000.00 loan guarantee he threatened him with a $1000000000.00 guarantee unless it was a search for that so that's that's part one of the of bribery Part 2 is he got the president of the you praying to fire the prosecutor right. Yet and I don't agree with Rudy's shorthand definition of bribery bribery because obviously to be a 2 broadly but when it comes back to Biden I certainly hope that in the Senate trial on impeachment that that is front and center and I think the burden will really be on Biden to explain it otherwise and I know how the Democrats try to explain it otherwise but boy that looks very very bad on its face in that he's bragging about he given 6 hours to fire that prosecutor or they lose the loan guarantee wow to the phone lines hey pre-shared Lawrence is caught ask for everybody but particularly folks in the service to give us her take on the president stepping up and saying you will not or you will fully restore at the Gallagher to Chief Petty Officer Lawrence from Sherrod in Wyoming you're on the Dan Kaplan show welcome. Now shared and then oh really oh Ok we have a lot of winning listeners but thank you Laurence But you know I what I'll say is I'm I'm 3rd generation Navy My son is currently a Navy diver and you know I am very glad that my son is going to be in harm's way we got from in charge right now because I was very frustrated by how the rules of engagement were. Being made by politicos back in in Washington d.c. They had no idea what the realities were. And you know I. My son is also in the Navy and my other son and we looked at each other and said you know what's the big deal I mean this and if you seen some of the videos that Islamic Jihad is put out with people the adding the right there on video you know and worse and far worse yeah yeah and I mean this is nothing now Lawrence very much appreciate your service and your sons and thanks for kicking it off this way I would guess Lawrence that probably 90 percent of the calls we get certainly from military and retired are going to agree with you and I have to tell you as you know a parent of 2 wonderful people 1922 if either or both ended up in the military I would want them serving under a Donald Trump because it seems to me the best of both worlds on the one hand you have a guy who is very determined not to be involved in wars unless it's absolutely necessary and certainly if you're the parent of somebody in the armed forces I would think that your highest priority may be a close 2nd to you want somebody who is a person of strength who is going to make sure they have every chance to protect themselves and every chance to win and I think with President Trump you get that Carol Pueblo Colorado here on the Dan Kaplan show welcome my friend hey how much snow are you expecting down there are you going to get this storm is a crapshoot it's just out it's just that up and now that the South will get some if not we could get wind and a lot of cold that's about it gotcha What do you think it. May be already thing why didn't the insurance have to be against the president. Well that's why it again I said I thought that was the whole context of it and that's the reason why I came out and said it was a joke but let's listen together have you talked to President shop in the last week or 2 of you met with him I don't discuss I do not discuss by conversations with my client you can assume that I talk to him early and often Yeah I have a very very good relationship with him and all of these comments which are totally insulting Yeah I mean I say I'm saying things written like he's going to throw me under the bus when they say that I say he isn't but I have insurance I think it is ridiculous we have very good friends seems those references to hear all the trump Yeah I get I get that I mean if he's going to throw me under the bus I have insurance but I don't know that it has to be against the president I think that the insurance against somebody else knowing something about some other situation there's a lot of ways now that you know you're right logically a great point you're right logically it could go other directions if I bet you a steak the biggest taken for a blow I'm betting that's a reference to the press in Iraq well I'm just I'm just saying that I don't know that there's going to be a need to throw the president underneath the bus with an insurance policy no I did Rudy I don't think there's going to be any need to throw me under the bus you see the polling that's coming out over the weekend it's sadder particularly in the swing states you see was constant we've got some sound on that my friend that we're going to play a little bit later in the show don't you think that those Democrats in shifts right now in the rest of the bunch that the Crusaders don't think they're a little trouble sleeping unless they're heavily medicated or self medicated. This is the only way they're going to get rid of it you know this is the only way it is by starting this they they told you that they can't be a man and then no it is an admission my friend admission by a party opponent while coming up you know Mrs police when logs and you see editorial pages editor of the Colorado Springs gaze at the newspapers they force I mean they are doing so much great work and they've got all this figured out they have upgraded today about John Hickenlooper to be titled Hickenlooper shows why he's not cut out to be a senator from the dick for Collins in Larimer County will most likely be the snow total winner from this latest storm profile totals ranging anywhere from about 12 on up to $22.00 inches National Weather Service says Kyle 14 says Boulder and Denver will see quite a bit of snowfall Gary were expecting it in the 15 reps for Denver will have agreed it like it always does maybe the south some to the city probably in that heat and intrude for higher amounts of the north as you move further south there will be less snowfall there also rock and monument always does rule well within the told him to the minute route toward the Crees Colorado Springs 4 inches with Pablo we expect and want a lot of moisture from the storm is coming here for the duration totals anywhere from I have finance on up to $1.00 inches of good water source or to it there are several school districts that Lamar County have already announced they'll be closed tomorrow and the University of Colorado Boulder is delayed start tomorrow the campus will open at 10 am Xcel Energy is ready for heavy snow to possibly kick out the power size and scope and the amount of snow that we're expecting We just want to make sure that we get word out to our customers talk to know that we are preparing for a possible outages excels Michele a y.

Yes well that's what we're hoping to let people know about is who he really is what you know whoever the Democrats nominate for this thing they better know who they're dealing with who they're going forward with and what I'm thinking with Brenda long record deal and now before we get to the record you say that who ever part is there any doubt in your mind that he'll be the nominee well it just depends on how many of these things keep coming up that have him explaining you know in the corner explaining why my attorney's fees are coming out of this 911 plans stuff like that why I took so many trips on private jets and didn't report it and that's kind of thing if you're explaining you're losing there has to be a reason that you know the field is not cleared and Romanoff is still very much very much considered themselves in this race the former speaker of the house and so anything can happen really and you know I keep going back and forth to someone who obviously wants a seat to stay in Republican hands Cory Gardner's very capable hands in particular I keep going back and forth on who I want the nominee to be which I know sounds crazy because everybody presumes and I understand why that Hickenlooper would be tougher but as somebody who really likes Andrew as wrong as he is on the big issues just really like him I could see the people liking Andrew if they ever got fully exposed to on but but will be interesting you know he's a likable well for sure when you meet him in person and we know of him a lot when he was speaker of the house he would come in all the time the thing is he is a better in some ways he's a better candidate for the primary and limper is making limpers obviously a much better candidate from a general election and probably strong enough to carry him through the primary but when you're dealing with the base and the primary I mean ignorant runs all kinds of problems with the base because he was actually pretty protective of the oil and gas and. Or as Andrew Romanoff would shut it down and quickly as possible in one government to operate without you will imagine. You know 35 and I remember Andrew before he went this crazy left and we always had plenty of important disagreements but boy he is if the left wants somebody who's totally sold out to the left they've got it with him and when Lawson or guest when his you talk about base as you talk about that the Democrat base or in this case Andrew's base I hope they become home base I hope that if they can loopers a nominee they stay home on Election Day I hope the Fandor is the nominee that the Hickenlooper people stay home on Election Day What are the chances that well I don't know you know it's always hard to tell but I think there is a pretty good chance that unless Democrats get some others on the ballot that of course it's going to be a presidential election so I don't I don't really see a presidential election year and that base is going to stay home and either be going to stay there is way too much. Anxiety on the left they want Trump out of there and they don't care who replaces and just anyone but I really don't see that out now and listen the smart money is with you on that but a guy can hope and the reason I still have some Holder is because you look at at this panel of candidates now for the Democrats at the presidential level and in unless it is somebody to the far left my hope is is that there will be enough you know lefties and I think that's where the energy is in the Democratic Party right now they'll be enough of those folks who do stay home because it seems to me the far left tend to be more in the true believer category even though what they're believing is usually wrong they are true believers and so anyway can you do this one could you lay out for folks some of your key points under your editorial headline John Hickenlooper shows why he's quote not cut out to be a senator sure and the reason that we use those direct words you're not kind out to be a senator Those are not our We're both as you know are is words and he said that. You know last spring in Iowa as he was campaigning there you know in his presidential race and everyone said well this isn't going all that well you're not polling very high I would why not run for the Senate you'd be a few in there that if you know I'm not cut out to be a senator then others talk and they you know I sit around and debate ideas and everything I might do or and I want you know in other words he sees himself as an executive not a legislator right so he's going to be explaining that all the way to Lee and certainly in the primary I would think that Romanoff would be smart to use that against them and then obviously Cory Gardner people in whatever PACs that are supporting him are going to use that over and I think that would play on t.v. Very nicely all the time but I sure hope so isn't it ironic that he's going to have to be explaining one of the honest things he said. Yes. It was it did seem like a moment of honesty he still didn't really seem to mean it and the minute I heard that I thought wow he really must be planning to run for senator because that would sure make it difficult after you become your own you know you denounce yourself in advance of this so I'm kind of surprised that actually running but I'm very surprised he said that now. Other points for the for not just that he said that we were covering once again the fact that he took all of these private jet trips you know in 2018 which is a little bit. Looked a little bad for him anyway because he had moved so far to the left on the environment to run for president he wanted to convince the national Democratic base that he was as environmentally radical as almost anyone and so he's got that it's a it's kind of an Al Gore type of thing he's flying around in private jets you cannot get less. Your mile per gallon and quiet going to private. Now I don't have any against private jet I do have I raise it raises eyebrows when someone is trying to be an environmentalist I'm talking about great reduction in awful fuel consumption and yet short amount of time and then of whining around on a private jet pad out why on a commercial jet you get very good fuel mileage commercial jets are generally full these days as we all know and when you fly on a 737 or a $787.00 you're getting hundreds of miles per gallon oh yeah and getting in the single digits when you fly on a private jet Yeah and commercial jets just used to be full of us nother full of animals too I mean like and you speak these little dogs and now it's Saint Bernards but the optics of Hickenlooper Hickenlooper on these private jets I think is so great because of the way it exposes the real John Hickenlooper and it doesn't mean he's a bad person but he is an elitist and he does live that lifestyle he's not some non partisan non political regular kind of guy it's not who he really is. That's right and he likes to run in you know the right circles be at the right cocktail parties and all of that and that you know again I I I like John he was always good to us we didn't Dorst him when he 1st ran because the Republican Party had that message going on with Dan Maes and we had we had a 3rd party candidate in there and of course we love Tom Tancredo Personally I think all very highly of Tom but I couldn't get the board to endorse him at that time so we endorsed John Hickenlooper he was obviously a businessman small business friendly and we like that so we endorsed him but we've seen some things in the ensuing 8 years that troubled us and this private jet thing is not the least of them because it's not just a matter of him being an environmentalist in a you know electorate private jet getting terrible fuel mileage it's the fact that one of those this is the most troubling part of the whole thing one of those private jets belongs to Campbell Musk now Campbell not because a multimillionaire were 100 or more $1000000.00 in Boulder he's restaurant 2 or he's also the brother of Ilan Musk and about 2 months to the day almost after that private jet trip to a one mosque temple mosque family event in Texas all right says the wedding it wasn't a wedding night or even married in the family celebration of a wedding that had taken place overseas. John Hickenlooper we thought it was bizarre at the time and had you know these thoughts he signed a an executive order committing to Colorado to adopt California's battery car man who made battery. You on month the month yeah boy personally and rich by Colorado's mandate to buy more battery you know though it doesn't look good I'm not saying that he did that because he was partying with and you know what that must be family and taking trips there private jet one of their private jets and just doesn't look good well but it's a reasonable inference that it it was a quid pro quo or if not a stated quid pro quo that there was a connection and Hickenlooper to that but he just doesn't seem to care and then you guys were and he you know. Well you know and that's another troubling thing out of this whole thing he doesn't know and you need to explain that because it does look that way and when confronted by the media on you know stuff related to this whole mess when confronted by Channel 9 and credit to channel nothing he said You guys should be protecting me. You should have my back. You know it's do you mind if I play that everyone makes like that for a 2nd just because people need to hear it from themselves you know I should be protecting me on saw stuff like this listen to that Tony's just incredulous wait a 2nd cow Clark 9 News you're supposed to be protecting me and this it just goes to your point doesn't it I mean what what space is Ian right now. It goes to 2 points really one is that he expects the media to protect and he doesn't like that you have to answer. And number 2 it tells you everything you need to know about this what I'm often told is a conspiracy theory that the mainstream media are friendly to Democrats Well John Hickenlooper certainly thinks so well because only thanks even title to that well Coast Beyond that I mean isn't that as direct a statement as you could ever require that we're on the same side he doesn't make this statement and make it with the tone that he does said that wait a 2nd one uses betrayed him because wait we are on the same side you guys should be protecting me at once a stuff like this he's just admitted they are on the same side it's an open agreement it's an open understanding to the point where he's chastising them publicly he told her not fulfilling their agreement right and we can be thankful and give credit to NY knew that we have got to hear that. He knew it and it really is. And a lot of cases taken liberal would have been right and they would have said Oh yeah and we never would have known about it you know you're right that that's a great point in favor of their integrity why do you think they did it I really don't know I'd love to ask Clarke or. His reporter that reporter worked with him frequently like that either of them what they what they think about that why that why that happened when they did to that point when I also want to give credit and I really do because I think so often there disappointing at the Denver Post So you know after criticizing you know the investigation of Hickenlooper in a very demeaning way in the beginning they came back and just did as you know a really good story on the source of these funds and you guys wrote to that in your editorial as well and we've got about 2 minutes. Yeah well that's the you know Hickenlooper that somehow we haven't discussed which is Hickenlooper his private jet trip. Caused an ethics investigation the state ethics board is continuing to investigate this they did not simply dismissed with it as though it were nonsense and so John Hickenlooper has hired a very expensive attorney and camp blame him for that except that the attorneys being paid out of state funds and those state funds were given to the state in a federal grant that was supposed to help Colorado recover from the events of 911-2001 and to help Colorado pay for various mandates homeland security mandates to protect Colorado from just this type of thing now I don't know why those funds are still sitting there maybe there were a lot maybe with a long term plan I have no idea all I know it's nothing about that Grant said anything about paying for a former governor's legal defense on ethics charges right and why isn't he represented not just why that might be not represented by the attorney general's office I mean I think to your point we really need to get to the bottom of that as well and we are out of time in this segment but again created to Tauriel hope everybody goes to the Web site of Colorado Springs because at John Hickenlooper shows why he's not cut out to be a senator appreciate all the great work Gazettes doing and hope you guys keep leading because Lord knows we're not getting enough of it up here. Thanks Dan Appreciate you having me thank you my friend we'll talk soon thank you that is Wayne Lawson and truly I hope you make it a daily stop the Colorado Springs Gazette because every now and then you see right around the country that doesn't come out of a Chicago or a Miami or or even a Denver that sort of thing you see a media outlet that just becomes the standard and they are doing that down there right now they've got the people they've got the resources and they're they're doing great journalism so I hope you put them on your your daily search list and well worth the stop so hey we got a big 5 o'clock hour coming up at 554058255 of course we'll give you everything we can on the storm including the latest closings and there are some school closings already for tomorrow which makes perfect sense I mean even in our office we're going to be fully open and operating but much of our staff is going to be because everybody in our office has remote access to all of our files they're going to be remoting in and then some of us of course will be in the office but this storm appears credible enough right now that I think people who are making those decisions ahead of the storm are wise and so yes we will of course be here with the show tomorrow but but let's hope everybody does what they can individually to stay safe in the meantime because in the end yeah it day you know it's all up to us kind of individually right to make those smart decisions will also talk about Michael Bloomberg What is his endgame I mean he's such a boring candidate and I understand he's printing money like Jared Polis print money Prince money but what is his and game.
