Podcast appearances and mentions of john kellner

If you're gonna steal stuff, make sure it's on a discount, 'cause they probably didn't even want it anyway.

With a deluge of shoplifting crime in American cities, including many organized efforts in districts without cash bail for such 'low-level' crimes, DA of the 18th judicial district John Kellner joins Dan to detail how he approaches the outbreak as a prosecutor. Also, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO 4) continues his wandering into dalliances with elements of the Left - is there no going back?

James Craig, the Aurora dentist accused of poisoning his wife, will not enter a plea in his murder case until early October. Dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, Craig listened as his attorneys argued that they were not ready for the arraignment, originally scheduled for Tuesday, as they still had 2,000 pages of discovery to comb through. John Kellner, the 18th judicial district attorney, objected to the postponement, stating Angela Pray Craig's siblings "want to continue without delay."    Craig's sister and two brothers attended the hearing via WebEx, as did the relatives of her husband. Meanwhile, the couple's six children deferred their opinion on the postponement to both parties, according to their attorney.    James Craig, 45, faces a first-degree murder charge for the death of his wife, Angela, 43, who died under mysterious circumstances on March 18, 2023. Craig was arrested the next day. Aurora police believe Craig had a motive to kill his wife as his marriage and business were struggling, and he had recently started a romantic relationship with a Texas orthodontist when he allegedly began his plans, according to the arrest affidavit.    Prosecutors claim that Angela Craig died from a combination of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a decongestant found in over-the-counter eyedrops like Visine. The arrest document noted that Angela first visited the Parker Adventist Hospital on March 6, complaining of dizziness and feeling that "her head wasn't right," but was released that day. She visited again three days later when her symptoms reappeared and remained in the hospital for five days.    On March 16, her brother, Mark Pray, rushed her to the CU Anschutz emergency room, where she collapsed and died two days later. Police suspect that James Craig poisoned his wife with potassium cyanide, which he allegedly disguised in her protein shakes, as the arrest affidavit contended.    However, Craig's lawyers argued during the preliminary hearing that there was no evidence that the poison originated in the drink that Craig claimed he prepared for her after a workout.    James Craig is expected to enter a plea on October 9 in Arapahoe County Court.    The case has garnered significant attention, not only because of the nature of the crime but also due to the insidious method allegedly employed by James Craig. As previously discussed by retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, poisoning is a rare and calculated method of murder, often chosen by particularly sadistic individuals. Coffindaffer noted that while poisoning is not a common choice for murderers, it is often selected by those with a patient and calculating mind, characteristics that seem to align with the actions of James Craig as described in the arrest affidavit.    As the case progresses, the details of Angela Craig's final days and the actions of James Craig will be meticulously examined in court. With the arraignment postponed until October 9, both the prosecution and defense will have additional time to prepare their cases, ensuring that all aspects of this tragic event are thoroughly investigated.

Let's get into it: NEVADA CURRENT: Water managers across drought-stricken West agree on one thing: ‘This is going to be painful'BY JENIFFER SOLIS - MONDAY DECEMBER 19, 2022 5:25 AMWater authorities in the Western U.S. don't have a crystal ball, but rapidly receding reservoirs uncovering sunken boats and other debris lost in their depths decades ago give a clear view of the hard choices ahead.If western states do not agree on a plan to safeguard the Colorado River — the source of the region's vitality — there won't be enough water for anyone.Water managers, researchers, agricultural producers and others from across the drought-stricken river basin met in Las Vegas last week for the Colorado River Water Users Association annual convention to face hard truths about the state of the river and historically-low levels of its biggest reservoirs.Two decades of drought and poor planning have caused the river's biggest reservoirs — Lake Mead and Lake Powell — to drop to their lowest collective volume since they were filled.  Rebecca Mitchell, director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board said “Time is not on our side. Hydrology is not on our side. That's the frightening reality Every day that passes this problem gets harder and harder to solve.”The water could drop below what's needed to generate power as soon as next year, according to water experts. If nothing is done  there is a real possibility water levels in both reservoirs will drop so low in the next two years that water will no longer flow downstream to the 40 million people in the West who rely on the Colorado River.To put it in perspective, this winter both reservoirs were about a quarter full - 25%. In December 1999, Lake Powell was at 88% capacity, and Lake Mead was at 96% capacity.  In 2021, Lower basin states faced their first-ever federally declared water shortage, which directs how much water states can draw from the Colorado River. Deeper cuts were declared this year.Ted Cooke, the general manager for the Central Arizona Project.In June, Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton issued an ultimatum to states: Develop a plan to save 2 million to 4 million acre-feet of water by next year — roughly one-fifth of their currently allocations—or the federal government will step in.During a panel discussion at last week's convention in Las Vegas, representatives for the seven western states who rely on the Colorado River said reaching a compromise will be their collective priority for the next six months.They agree that the longer it takes to stabilize the river and conserve the water needed to keep the river functional, the more likely reservoir levels will continue to plummet, leaving states with fewer and fewer options.Just last week, all of Southern California was declared to be in a drought emergency by the Metropolitan Water District, the main water supplier for Los Angeles county.Officials for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation warned that aridification, the long-term shift to a drier climate, means even less snow runoff is making it to the river each year.Currently, there is nearly $4 billion set aside for the Colorado River that would allow the Bureau of Reclamation to use some funds to pay users to voluntarily forgo water use.“We have to accept that we can not cling to our entitlements or allocations. If they are not there none of it matters,” Mitchell continued. “Folks in the room have to be willing to let us make hard decisions, because this is going to be painful.” Becky Mitchell Colorado Water Conservation BoardSOURCE NM:New Mexico's HSD proposes medication-assisted treatment for incarcerated peopleBY: AUSTIN FISHER - DECEMBER 19, 2022 4:35 AMBeginning in 2024, New Mexico's Medicaid program could start providing medication-assisted treatment to incarcerated people 30 days before they are released, along with a 30-day supply of medication when they leave. The hope is that this will be a step toward reducing the harms of criminalizing substance use disorder, and producing better outcomes.In a 275-page application to the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services by the New Mexico Human Services Department published Friday, HSD says it hopes to ensure formerly incarcerated people stay on their medication after release, and don't commit more crimes, end up in an emergency room or unhoused.At any given time in New Mexico, more than 14,000 people are held in state, local or youth correctional facilities, and nearly 50,000 people churn through local jails in the state each year. according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by ACLU-NM and Disability Rights New Mexico, New Mexico's prison system forces people who are on medication for opioid use disorder, to withdraw from it when they enter prison.The lawsuit cites research showing that someone leaving incarceration is nearly 13 times more likely than the general population to die of an overdose in the first two weeks after their release.HSD wants to get people who are being held in jail before a trial, or who are imprisoned post-conviction, on Medicaid so they can get medication-assisted treatment while inside state prisons, local jails, youth correctional facilities, tribal holding facilities, tribal jails and at the New Mexico Behavioral Health Institute.The department plans to focus on incarcerated people with serious mental health conditions, severe emotional disturbance, substance use disorder, or an intellectual or developmental disability. It estimates 7,500 people per year could benefit.COLORADO SUN:The biggest election 2022 spender in Colorado? Jared Polis — by a long shot.Sandra Fish3:41 AM MST on Dec 15, 2022Democratic Gov. Jared Polis spent $12.6 million of his own money on his successful reelection bid this year, more than any other state-level candidate. May sound like a lot,Polis' 2022 spending, however, didn't come close to the more than $23 million of his own wealth spent in 2018 to win his first gubernatorial campaign. After Gov Polis, the No. 2 state-level political spender in Colorado this year was Total Wine & More at $12 million. That money went toward supporting Proposition 124, an unsuccessful ballot measure that would have let the retail giant open more liquor stores in Colorado.A few more highlights from the final campaign finance reports: Democratic candidates dominated spending on state-level statewide contestsThe Polis campaign spent more than three times the $3.7 million spent by his Republican opponent, who lost by more than 19 percentage points.Polis spent $9 per vote cast in his favor in the general election, less than the $9.72 per vote he spent in the 2018 general election and far less than the nearly $40 per vote he spent winning a four-way primary that year.The Democratic Attorneys General Association's state super PAC spent $2.9 million supporting Phil Weiser against his GOP challenger, John Kellner. In the costliest state Senate contest, Jefferson County-based Senate District 20, Republican developer Tim Walsh loaned his campaign more than $1 million in his loss to Democratic state Rep. Lisa Cutter, who spent just $262,000.Democratic super PACs also outspent their Republican counterparts on state legislative races: All Together Colorado spent more than $11 million helping elect Democratic state Senate candidates, compared with the $8.5 million spent by Senate Majority Fund, which supported Republicans.Natural Medicine Colorado spent $4.46 per vote on Proposition 122, which legalized psilocybin mushrooms and was approved by nearly 54% of voters. Nearly $4.4 million of the total $5.8 million that was spent came from the national nonprofit New Approach and its federal PAC.Healthy School Meals For All Colorado Students spent $1.32 per vote in successfully passing Proposition GG, which eliminated a tax break for wealthy Coloradans so that schools can provide free meals to all students. Numerous nonprofits accounted for the committee's $1.8 million in spending.COLORADO NEWSLINE: Mayor Hancock works to address influx of migrantsBY: LINDSEY TOOMER - DECEMBER 15, 2022 3:37 PMDenver Mayor Michael Hancock has issued an emergency declaration so the city can more easily free up resources to support the ongoing influx of migrants into the city - having already spent upwards of $800,000 in city funds on the efforts.At a news conference at the city's Emergency Operations Center Thursday, Hancock said about 700 unhoused migrants had arrived in recent weeks. And he isn't sure how many more the city can expect. The original emergency shelter the city set up at a recreation center hit capacity with 275 people, leading to two more recreation centers being pulled into the effort.Hancock said at the news conference. “This influx of migrants, the unanticipated nature of their arrival, and our current space and staffing challenges have put an immense strain on city resources, to the level where they're on the verge of reaching a breaking point. What I don't want to see is a local humanitarian crisis of unsheltered migrants on our hands because of the lack of resources.”Mayor Hancock noted that most of the people seem to be coming through El Paso, Texas, and while the city has seen groups of migrants arriving for several months, only recently have they started arriving at the current volume and without notice. City officials say the migrants come from Central and South America, including Venezuela. Employees from multiple city agencies are being pulled from their regular duties and “working around the clock” to support them as they arrive, Hancock said. The city is most desperate for support when it comes to shelter space and staffing. Hancock asked that anyone who might have space that can serve as a shelter, or who can volunteer to help, reach out to the city's Emergency Operations Center at donations@denvergov.org. He thanked the many city staff, volunteers, nonprofit and faith organizations that have already stepped up to support the city's sheltering and reunification efforts. Hancock also thanked the hundreds of Denver residents who have donated clothing and supplies and asked for their continued patience as the city works through the situation. He said he has been in direct contact with Gov. Jared Polis as well as members of Colorado's federal Congressional delegation to help identify additional resources to help.Mayor Hancock also said, “We are committed to doing what we can for the migrants and the asylum seekers who have come here. But here in Denver and cities all over this country are once again having to respond because of the failure of our Congress and federal government to address a very critical situation … I'm not trying to sound political, but I'm trying to sound pragmatic and practical. This is going to continue to happen, continue to overwhelm cities all over this country until Congress works on fixing the situation.”Denver first opened an emergency shelter at an undisclosed recreation center on Dec. 6. There's an ongoing need for donations and local faith-based groups and nonprofits are continuing to assist the city with its efforts to support the migrants. The city has established a drop-off location for physical donations at Iglesia Ciudad de Dios located at 5255 W Warren Ave. in Denver. Donations are being accepted on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.The city released a list of needed items, and noted that the list could change based on supply and demand:Coats (men's S and M, women's M) Pants (waist 30-33) SocksUnderwearWinter apparel (hats, gloves, scarves, boots)Children's clothing for ages 10 and younger Overall, the city said there is a high demand for new clothing for adults sizes small through large, with a special need for medium-sized clothing and winter weather clothing.The city is also asking local faith-based groups, non-profits and private sector partners to reach out if they are able to support its efforts by contacting the Emergency Operations Center at donations@denvergov.org.CONCERT PICK OF THE WEEK: The Roots, with support from Big KRIT: Tuesday December 27 at Denver's Mission Ballroom.

In Colorado's all-important attorney general race, Republican candidate John Kellner tangles with incumbent Democrat Phil Weiser in a 9 News Denver debate. He joins Dan to reflect on the exchange and assess where he feels the race is headed. Dan also asks listeners which mid-term election race is most important on the Colorado ballot.

In a stunning moment on MSNBC, gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D-GA) says the quiet part out loud about her stance that women should be able to use abortion as a form of birth control if they can't afford to take care of the child. Also, 9 News in Denver hosted a debate between incumbent Democrat attorney general Phil Weiser and Republican challenger John Kellner. Dan breaks down the highlights.

Rundown -    Luke Cranor - 20:08   ROAD RAGE featuring sound from George Brauchler and John Kellner - 01:33:25   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 02:28:02   "Tarred and Feathered" by Dave Gunders - 02:47:27   NoCo lucky land inheritor Steve Wells brags about spending $11 million dollars to help the GOP defeat Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Attorney General Phil Weiser. He hired George Brauchler to do voiceover. Brauchler reciprocates by praising Wells' ads against Weiser. https://coloradosun.com/2022/09/18/who-is-steve-wells-colorado-rancher/   One huge problem though. As demonstrated with sound, Wells' ad distorts Weiser's voice. Listen to the evidence. They sped Weiser's voice up to make him sound effeminate and high pitched. Brauchler got beat by Weiser for AG four years ago. Brauchler backs John Kellner, his 18th JD DA successor, to take AG out now.    The Brauchler/Kellner/Wells campaign attacks AG Weiser as ineffectual when it comes to crimes afflicting Colorado such as car thefts, fentanyl, and road rage. Colorado voters are right to worry about crime but the best crime-fighters should be on the field fighting crime in the courts of Colorado's biggest cities. https://coloradosun.com/2022/10/10/silverman-attorney-general-weiser-opinion/   Is John Kellner doing a good job fighting crime in the 18th Judicial District? Colorado's most populous judicial district contains Parker, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, most of Aurora, and many more municipalities. Crime is up there and most places. But with regard to road rage, how has Kellner performed?   On 2-26-22, Luke Cranor was a law abiding father of four who was returning with wife and daughters from an evening of mini-golf when he encountered an aggressive driver going east on County Line Road. The lady grew furious at Luke who had passed her prior to them reaching a red light. That's when the lady hit Luke's new truck from behind. https://monsterminigolf.com/denver/   Luke got out of his truck to examine the damage. He looked at the raging woman and watched in horror as she re-initiated further contact, repeatedly ramming his new truck with his family inside. Luke got a video of the woman and her Jeep and the license plate before he got back in his car and called 911.   Then the lady took off, east on County Line, trying to shake Luke Cranor who was following her and alerting various jurisdictions as they passed through. Fortunately and finally, dutiful Douglas County Sheriffs pulled over the lady. You can watch what happened next right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg5fONxEa1Q   The lady produced her Parker Colorado police credential; she was their victim-advocate and told many different stories. After first denying she consumed alcohol, she admitted to margarita drinking at Los Dos Potrillos. After first falsely accusing Luke Cranor of backing into her at that red light on County Line Road, she admitted that was wrong.   DCSD charged the lady via summons and complaint with Reckless Driving, Criminal Mischief and Hit & Run. Weeks later, Luke Cranor was shocked to learn John Kellner's DA's Office dismissed the case without even speaking to him. Cranor pushed back to a deputy DA, and when not satisfied, Luke Cranor had a recorded phone call with one of Kellner's senior supervising prosecutors.    Road rage is horrible. Colorado has the third highest rate of any state in the nation according to radio host George Brauchler, former 18th JD DA, and predecessor/mentor of John Kellner. DA-Elect Kellner was a terrific guest on Episode 24 of this show. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-24-happy-hanukkah/id1522579679?i=1000502187957   Brauchler put on a noteworthy hour a few weeks ago in which he and his listeners condemned Road Rage and the liberals who were deemed most at fault. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brauchler-9-19-22-8am/id1504024153?i=1000579944518 Luke Cranor is no liberal. He's a Missouri conservative who favors law and order candidates.   Luke Cranor is outraged at what he regards as John Kellner's refusal to right this wrong of letting the connected lady road rager off. He's been protesting at AG candidate debates. Listen to Luke Cranor and decide if he is correct or John Kellner is correct about how to handle this lady's road rage.    Show Troubadour Dave Gunders always delivers with his original music and produces the especially apt and fun song called Tarred and Feathered, referencing an old form of punitive justice since abandoned. Mess with a fathers' wife and daughters and most good men will react – as has Luke Cranor. https://soundcloud.com/dave-gunders/tarred-and-feathered   Law and order is on the table as Dave Gunders and the host discuss the latest January 6 Committee hearing and the subpoena of the former president who led the coup/insurrection and still leads the Republican party of which Brauchler and Kellner are members. Can the Rule of Law survive the MAGA-party? Doubtful. Can the Rule of Law defeat MAGA? Hope so.

We begin with great excitement about a guest we have confirmed for tomorrow starting at 4pMT. It is one of the most incredible stories you'll ever hear. Then - a tribute to Angela Lansbury, who passed today at 96. AG "Fentanyl" Phil Weiser out with a new (goober) attack ad against John Kellner. We ask the cliche question on-air and via Twitter: is it Colo-RAD-oh or Colo-ROD-oh? (Steffan says the latter and that it's "Coloradan") The now former President, LA City Council stepped down, but she is still in hot water for saying "changito" about a black boy ("little monkey" in Spanish.) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crime takes a front seat this hour.  George starts with GOP CD 7 candidate Erik Aadland and then talks with AG candidate John Kellner about crime.  Kellner discusses a new data driven tool to help target those crimes where people are most likely to re-offend.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Get ready for more car-bicycle accidents, more injuries, more deaths, and higher car insurance premiums as Governor Jared Polis gave the green light to cyclists to blow through red lights and stop signs by signing a bicycle right-of-way bill into law on Wednesday. Dan anticipates lawsuits galore and mass confusion on the roadways, as drivers are either completely unaware of the new law or uncertain how to treat intersections with bicycles flying through them at the cyclist's own discretion. In theory, those on bikes are expected to treat stop lights as stop signs, while yielding at stop signs, but this sudden blurry gray area will leave all encounters at intersections open to interpretation in the eye of the beholder.Also, John Kellner tells Dan that in cases involving felony possession of hard drugs prior to decriminalization in Colorado, just 11 of 756 charged served prison time (1.46%), rest avoided criminal record through diversion program for addicts. The district attorney for the state's 18th judicial district continues his fight to make possession of fentanyl - in any amount - a felony under state law. A fight he intends to take all the way to the Attorney General's office, in his challenge of Phil Weiser on the ballot this fall.
