Dan Caplis Denver's Talk Station 630 KHOW

Despite requests from administrators at Denver's Auraria campus, city police chief Ron Thomas declines to provide law enforcement assistance in sweeping pro-Hamas protest encampments off the grounds. Dan suspects the decision was a political one handed down by Mayor Mike Johnston, but that doesn't absolve Chief Thomas from abdicating his duty to protect and serve other students at risk on campus.

Nancy Pallozzi, chair of the Jefferson County GOP, joins Dan to discuss the cancelation of a weekend fundraising event featuring Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), following death threats after revelations from her new book about the governor shooting and killing her dog Cricket.

Rob Dawson of KOA navigates bubbles from protesters and searing questions from Dan, reporting live from Auraria campus in Denver. Pro-Hamas demonstrators blowing bubbles in the faces of law enforcement and refusing to leave an encampment are creating headaches for leaders at the institution.

At one time, Dan was student body president at CU-Boulder and encountered the scare of his life from radical leftist protesters - some of whom were imported to cause chaos - during an episode that landed him in the hospital. He compares this experience to the insanity we're watching play out from pro-Hamas demonstrations on college campuses across America over the last week.

When Ryan asks what advice Dan would give Donald Trump in his Manhattan court case, the veteran attorney is careful to point out what he would recommend politically is very different from what he would ethically advise legally - which is that the former President would be best served by violating the draconian 'gag order' against him and forcing Judge Merchan's hand in arresting and jailing him.

Dan goes down Memory Lane recounting stories of working with his grandfather at The Beverly Country Club golf course on Chicago's South Side - and the tragic tale of his grandfather's loyal dog in Ireland.
