<v Speaker 1>This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast

<v Speaker 1>single day on your favorite podcast platform. Is it going

6
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to get to the point where're winning so much? We

7
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>get tired of winning? Another big victory today with enormous,

8
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 1>enormous ramifications across America, the US Supreme Court once again

9
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>getting it right and ruling in favor of the Great

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 1>State of South Carolina against Planned Parenthood, and the US

11
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court ruling, hey yeah, South Carolina. South Carolina doesn't

12
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 1>want to use taxpayer dollars to kill people. It doesn't

13
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 1>have to. So a real blow there fortunately to Planned Parenthood.

14
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>So I broke down that case a little bit in

15
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the first hour. I'll get into a few more details

16
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>as we cover a bunch of fun topics this afternoon.

17
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 1>One thing we do every Thursday at five oh six,

18
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's really valuable no matter where you

19
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>are on the abortion policy spectrum. And what I'd suggest is,

20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 1>if you're not on the pro life side, get there

21
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 1>in a hurry, be on the right side of history,

22
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>be on the right side of humanity. But what we

23
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>do is we bring in a medical professional to talk

24
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 1>about purely medical aspects of this life and death civil

25
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>rights issue of our lifetime. And I think it's just

26
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>so helpful to everyone because there isn't enough of this input.

27
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 1>There isn't enough of these medical facts in the conversation.

28
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>And the reason for that is because once we start

29
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>talking medicine, pro life wins every time and pro abortion

30
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 1>loses every time. So today we continue with Wendy Smith.

31
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Wendy is a retired acute care nurse practitioner and Wendy

32
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>works with I think three different anti sex trafficking ministries

33
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and she's here to talk today about the reality of

34
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>abortion and sex trafficking. Wendy, Welcome to the Dan Kapla Show.

35
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much, Dan, I appreciate it the opportunity.

36
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 2>Not many people combine the or picture the relationship between

37
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>abortion and trafficking.

38
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I know you've written to this as well,

39
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Please take us into it.

40
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Sure. So, first of all, for your listeners, both abortion

41
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 2>and trafficking are very emotionally heavy, dark topics, and I'm

42
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 2>sure some of your listeners have experienced one or the others.

43
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 2>So I want to treat this topic with respect and

44
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 2>gentleness and realize I'm not passing judgment and it may

45
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>trigger some bad experiences, but I'd like your listeners to

46
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 2>realize that abortion and pregnancy can be the end results

47
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>of the product of an exploitative relationship or abuse, but

48
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>it is also an important tool to keep control under

49
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>their victims. So it can be used either way.

50
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 1>And can you elaborate on that how it's used as

51
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 1>a control mechanism.

52
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Sure, so girls or women that are trafficked, they are

53
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>beaten down, they are controlled. In fact, there's a book

54
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>on Amazon about you can't read several books on Amazon

55
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>about pimping, and they tell how you break down your

56
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>victim and once they're broken down, once they have no

57
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>self value, then you put a price tag on them.

58
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>And when you're talking about women who are girls, I

59
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 2>deal mainly with miners, so I may use the term

60
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>miners or girls more often. But when you're talking about

61
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>the victims of trafficking who have had abortion or are

62
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>pregnant facing abortion, you're talking about two individuals, two very

63
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>vulnerable individuals. You have the girl that's been viewed, is

64
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 2>deeply traumatized, emotionally and probably physically, made to feel that

65
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>she has absolutely no value or worse other than to

66
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>be sold, made to feel like a commodity, like no

67
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>one cares. And then then when someone talks to her

68
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 2>about either a forced abortion or threatens her pregnancy in

69
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 2>some way, or even wants her to keep the pregnancy.

70
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Believe it or not, there's a specialty in having sex

71
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>with pregnant women, and they tend to abort later in

72
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>their trajectory. But you know, we have to be very

73
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 2>cautious because of her two victims. And when the girl

74
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 2>is told that she should have abortion or must have

75
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 2>an abortion, not only is she dealing with the trauma

76
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 2>of her expla tation, but to take the life of

77
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 2>an innocent baby just validates that there is no value

78
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 2>in her humanity or a baby that she's carrying. Sometimes

79
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the trafficker will force her to be to have an

80
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>abortion to keep her in the business, in the game,

81
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>and like I said, sometimes they're forced to have a pregnancy.

82
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes a pregnancy can be used for control in that

83
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the trafficker may threaten harm to the baby if she

84
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do what she told he may or if she

85
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>doesn't bring in the revenue he expects, he may put

86
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>a price tag on the value of that baby.

87
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this, Wendy Smith, our guest, and

88
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 1>she works with multiple anti traffing trafficking ministries. But what

89
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>is the state of sex trafficking in Colorado right now?

90
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>So that's a good question. Colorado currently ranks tenth in

91
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 2>the nation. We have a lot of trafficking in the

92
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Denver Boulder Aura. Even for a Colins area, we have

93
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Interstate twenty five and Interstate seventy, which are mean trafficking routes,

94
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>and there's a lot of gang activity and more crime

95
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>concentrated in those areas.

96
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.199
<v Speaker 1>And Wendy, what form does that take? I mean, so

97
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>people know what to look out for. What are the

98
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 1>mechanics of that, say, trafficking. I'm sure some people are

99
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>surprised to hear you say Boulder. How do they do it?

100
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>What should we look for?

101
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's another good question because often we can mischaracterize

102
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the victims. You know, girls of and boys that are

103
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>trafficked are often considered labeled as rebellious or delinquents or

104
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 2>drug addicts. So you have that kind of a picture.

105
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>But also I've worked with girls that or a students

106
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>were in school, were traffic by a peer in school,

107
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>so there may not be a clear picture. Some of

108
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 2>the signs that might be might be seen like physical

109
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 2>signs burn marks, bruises, missing teeth, or poor dentician, drug addiction.

110
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 2>Obviously being with someone that is older or has things

111
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 2>to have more control over them. They may have money

112
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 2>or clothes that you know that they normally couldn't have.

113
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how much trafficking is there of people who are

114
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 1>either broad here illegally or come here illegally and then

115
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>others take advantage of that to traffic them. How much

116
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 1>of that is there? You know?

117
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:56.759
<v Speaker 2>I wish I could put a number on it. Just

118
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>the nature of the crime, human trafficking, both labor and

119
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>sex trafficking are multi billion dollar criminal enterprise globally, and

120
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 2>and because of the nature of the crime, we really

121
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 2>don't have valid numbers. It's hard to determine and they

122
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 2>often are unseen in our communities.

123
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just again the nature of the crime. But WHND,

124
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>You're very grateful for your time today talking about that

125
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>intersection of sex trafficking and abortion and how it's used

126
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 1>as a control tool over victims, and appreciate your sensitivity

127
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 1>on that. How do people follow you? Are you on

128
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 1>social media?

129
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. I'm I'm volunteer with these anti trafficking organizations.

130
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 2>I just stepped off the board of one and I

131
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 2>write some but I'm not on social media.

132
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 1>Well that's probably very wise, very better not to be followed.

133
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But wend you appreciate the time today. Thanks for all

134
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>your great work. Okay, you take care that. Okay, bye.

135
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.879
<v Speaker 1>You know right, we should do we should do a

136
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>whole show at some point on sex trafficking and you

137
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>know how it's done. What to look for all that

138
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing. I like when I go into bathrooms

139
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes now, and you know it's it's always these kind

140
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 1>of both sex bathrooms, maybe at a hospital or somewhere else, right,

141
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 1>and they've got a sign on the wall, Hey, if

142
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 1>you're being sex traffic here's here's what you do to

143
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 1>get help, and and that sort of thing, because you

144
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>know there's a bunch of it going on. And that

145
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>was always to me one of the right out of

146
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>hell just obscenities of all these lefties supporting the open

147
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>borders right is just knowing that that was the vehicle

148
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>that was the magnet for mass sex trafficking and mass

149
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>sexual abuse of women and girls. Have you seen the

150
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>lefties didn't care about that, they were getting their voters.

151
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 3>Have you seen Sound of Freedom?

152

153
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.720

<v Speaker 1>Three or three seven five five. Hey, there's all sorts

157
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.399
<v Speaker 1>of stuff going on, including the big US Supreme Court

158
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>decision today against planned parenthood, the latest with this anti

159
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 1>semitic lefty loon in New York who's apparently going to

160
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 1>be their next governor. Bad news for the Democratic Party.

161
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Right that more ahead, You're on the Dan Kepler Show.

162
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 3>And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.

163
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>See that's all she gets every time, you get it,

164
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.759
<v Speaker 1>every half birthday of the years. No, it's like the

165
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Bezos wedding because Kelly throws apart. Well, this is her

<v Speaker 1>birthday and you tell me halfway into the show.

00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Not only that she is gone like every other break.

168
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 3>I think she's got a bladder the size of a piece.

169
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 3>So she missed that. She missed what I just played.

170
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 3>It was just for her, And you're right here, we

171
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 3>are celebrating Kelly and she's not here for her own party.

172
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.799
<v Speaker 1>You assume it's a personal moment, but she might be

173
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 1>celebrating somewhere.

174
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully she found some s somewhere.

182
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 1>and Arvada. You're on the Dankapla Show.

183
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:47.759
<v Speaker 4>Welcome, Hey, Hey Dan, good afternoon. I got two foot topics.

184
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 5>The New York City mayor goofball that they you know,

185
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.840
<v Speaker 5>in the primary, the neo Nazi, whatever you want to

186
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 5>call him. You know, I'm at the point where we

187
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 5>should just left these Democrats get what they won't vote for.

188
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 5>Let this guy in, let them just destroy the city

189
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:08.480
<v Speaker 5>and cout bailing these these blue cities out with you know,

190
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.360
<v Speaker 5>trying to save them with the national Guard and the

191
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.679
<v Speaker 5>Marines just you know, let them burn you know, it's

192
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 5>crazy how we keep saving them. And then the top

193
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 5>of number two is the lady out in LA that

194
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 5>says she called out all the gang members say hey,

195
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:27.120
<v Speaker 5>you know she's a colorist woman. I believe she's like,

196
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.200
<v Speaker 5>where are all the eighteen seat gangs? And then some

197
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 5>other gang, why aren't you standing.

198
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Up the eyes?

199
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that like, uh illegal? Well, good question. I had

200
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of texts on that, Ryan, can you try

201
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to find that sound. I'd like to hear her verbatim,

202
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 1>because when it comes to whether somebody crosses the line

203
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 1>with political speech into something prosecutable, we really have to

204
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 1>hear the exact quotes. So good question on that being.

205
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Listen to the other point that they let them burn

206
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.639
<v Speaker 1>camp when it comes to New York. Listen, I understand

207
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the sentiment there, which is where, second, you voters have

208
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.919
<v Speaker 1>to say the consequences of this. Obviously voter seeing the

209
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 1>consequences of Obama's you know, policies which many labeled socialistic,

210
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 1>many of them you know, led to the election of

211
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and a lot of good things for America.

212
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>So I get that. Here here's The only caveat I

213
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.600
<v Speaker 1>put on that is, is when you're talking about when

214
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about crime, when you're talking about real people

215
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.159
<v Speaker 1>being hurt, and I guess I impressed him real people

216
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>being hurt in ways that cannot be reversed. So you

217
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>get an anti Semitic socialist nutjob like this guy in office,

218
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.799
<v Speaker 1>and chances are great that some people who would not

219
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.639
<v Speaker 1>have died with the real mayror will die, some people

220
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.440
<v Speaker 1>who would not have been raped with the real mayor

221
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>in office will be raped, things like that, so that

222
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.639
<v Speaker 1>I can just never endorse that as some acceptable casualty rate.

223
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 1>I understand some things are out of our control, right,

224
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>like whether this guy becomes mayor, which at this point

225
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>he appears to be on track to do. So, Yeah,

226
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I just can't wish that on any And then if

227
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.440
<v Speaker 1>he is as likely elected mayor, then you just have

228
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to look for the silver linings, right, And the silver

229
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>lining is another good reason for America to vote against Democrats,

230
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>because this guy is kind of already becoming the face

231
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Democratic Party in America, and if he does

232
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:21.759
<v Speaker 1>become mayor then even more so, and that is tremendous

233
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 1>news for Republicans. Three or three someone three, eight, two, five,

234
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>five the number. We'll get some texts in here as well.

235
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 1>This texture refers to a wonderful guest we had at

236
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the top who works against sex trafficking, and she was

237
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:39.559
<v Speaker 1>talking about how sex traffickers use abortion as a tool

238
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>of control against the women that they're having raped and abused.

239
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>So this texter says, thank goodness, the pregnancies of these

240
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.440
<v Speaker 1>traffic girls are terminated. I can't imagine the hellish life

241
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>those children would have to endure if they were allowed

242
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to be born. Think about the mentality. Oh, he goes on,

243
00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>he takes a couple more shots. I don't want to

244
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 1>deprive him of is one moment of bitter glee, prolonged mental, physical,

245
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.519
<v Speaker 1>and sexual abuse of true hell on earth because some

246
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:10.159
<v Speaker 1>do gooder Christians decided they must live. So think about

247
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:16.399
<v Speaker 1>this texture. Think about this texture. What they've concluded is

248
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that these children would rather be killed. Right, they've concluded

249
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:25.080
<v Speaker 1>that these children who would be born into difficult circumstances

250
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>would rather be killed than be born into those difficult circumstances.

251
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.559
<v Speaker 1>They don't want to wait and ask the kids, right,

252
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>what do you think those kids would say? How many

253
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>kids right now, born into really terrible circumstances, right, Like

254
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.279
<v Speaker 1>my wife and daughter do some work south of the border,

255
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:51.639
<v Speaker 1>down in some really really poor areas of Mexico. How

256
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.919
<v Speaker 1>many of those kids in the toughest circumstances do you

257
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>think would say they wish they'd been killed before they

258
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>were born? How many kids here in America, whether they're

259
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 1>born to a rape survivor or some other just worse circumstance,

260
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:08.639
<v Speaker 1>you could imagine, how many of those do you think

261
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>would say, no, I wish I'd been killed?

262
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Kill me?

263
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, how many do you think would say that? You

264
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.639
<v Speaker 1>actually have a number, No, I said Tim Tebow.

265
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I mean he was born to mothers who

266
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.159
<v Speaker 3>was contemplating an abortion. Oh right, and she chose to have.

267
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Him, right, and that was for medical reasons, right, But yes, no,

268
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and thank god she did right literally. But yeah, So

269
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.679
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing, And that's why I would love to

270
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 1>talk to a Texter like that. What would make here

271
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>she think these children would choose to be killed instead,

272
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.720
<v Speaker 1>because virtually none of them would, probably none of them would,

273
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>But this Texter wants them killed. That's really fascinating to

274
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 1>me and people who make that argument. It's just so

275
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 1>easy to see what's really going on. Right, They don't

276
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 1>have any concern whatsoever for these children?

277
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, Dan they or they wouldn't want them killed. We

278
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 3>want less of the populations, right, well.

279
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Justice Ginsburg, Yeah, less of the populations that we don't

280
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.640
<v Speaker 1>want too many of. That's not my quote, that's Justice

281
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.319
<v Speaker 1>ginsburg explanation for her understanding of role.

282
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.119
<v Speaker 3>So there should be a wealth test, is what this

283
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.759
<v Speaker 3>text is implying that if you're below a certain income

284
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.720
<v Speaker 3>level or ability to provide, then those babies should die.

285
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think these bitter Texters, and you see

286
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 1>them come from a lot of different demos. I think

287
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.119
<v Speaker 1>these are people who are so committed to abortion has

288
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>become their holy grail, right, abortion on demand. They're so

289
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.279
<v Speaker 1>committed to that they've really lost their ability to reason,

290
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and so they're reduced to arguing that no, these children

291
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.519
<v Speaker 1>would rather be killed. These children would rather be killed.

292
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, that's a very sad place to be. Fortunately,

293
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:06.839
<v Speaker 1>those people aren't the people who are leading America.

294
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Right.

295
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, let me put it this way, that sentiment is

296
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.880
<v Speaker 1>not prevailing in America. America is moving in a very

297
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>decidedly pro life direction, and you're seeing it in lots

298
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.519
<v Speaker 1>of tangible ways. And I don't mean it to sound

299
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the kind of phony, condescending way this is about to sound.

300
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean it in my heart. I pray for a

301
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.680
<v Speaker 1>person like that. Whatever led to it, that they are

302
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>so bitter and twisted, they can't think straight, and they

303
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.519
<v Speaker 1>really think these children would rather be dead. Not a chance.

304
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.440
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

305
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.799
<v Speaker 1>A smiling socialist.

306
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:47.200
<v Speaker 6>You call yourself a democratic socialist. The word socialist, of course,

307
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.599
<v Speaker 6>has been vilified and used to attack you.

308
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.319
<v Speaker 1>What's the why?

309
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 6>How do you define being a democratic socialist?

310
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.720
<v Speaker 7>I think in the words of doctor King, who are Oh.

311
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.160
<v Speaker 1>My lord, can you imagine where we're going here? I'd

312
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>say doctor King would be rolling over in his grave,

313
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.559
<v Speaker 1>But my bed is he's in heaven. But listen to

314
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 1>this obscenity to come.

315
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 7>Zeko said, call it democracy or call it democratic socialism.

316
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.559
<v Speaker 7>There must be a better distribution of wealth for all

317
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:14.799
<v Speaker 7>of God's children in this country. And it gets to

318
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.400
<v Speaker 7>the heart of the matter, which is inequality and my

319
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.480
<v Speaker 7>belief that every New Yorker should have what they need

320
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 7>to live a dignified life. It shouldn't be something that

321
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:24.400
<v Speaker 7>they can be priced out of. And that's why at

322
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:27.559
<v Speaker 7>the heart of our campaign is this focus on freezing

323
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 7>the rent for more than two million rent stabilized tenants,

324
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.200
<v Speaker 7>making the slowest busses in the country fastest.

325
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.079
<v Speaker 1>What absolute perversion of doctor King and his teaching. Yeah, No,

326
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Doctor King's a hero because he was willing to give

327
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.640
<v Speaker 1>his life to combat inequality. But he wanted inequality of

328
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.400
<v Speaker 1>what all together? Now, he wanted equality of what he

329
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 1>wanted a quality of opportunity. That's the way he wanted

330
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:58.559
<v Speaker 1>to overcome inequality. All he wanted was fair, equal opportunity

331
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>for everyone regards wardless of color. Doctor King said what

332
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:03.119
<v Speaker 1>he wanted.

333
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 3>I have a dream.

334
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.400
<v Speaker 2>My poor little children.

335
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Will one day live in a nation where they will

336
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.799
<v Speaker 3>not be touched by the color of my skin, but

337
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:24.119
<v Speaker 3>by the content of that character. I have a dream, yeah,

338
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:24.839
<v Speaker 3>doctor King.

339
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Doctor King did not say his dream that was so

340
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.039
<v Speaker 1>that his four little girls would live in rent control

341
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>departments or would have food provided by the government through

342
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:39.079
<v Speaker 1>government run grocery stores. That was not his dream. That

343
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.880
<v Speaker 1>was the opposite of his dream. His dream was, and

344
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 1>he spoke of it, a freedom, a freedom, true equal opportunity,

345
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the freedom to become what you choose to become. That

346
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:56.519
<v Speaker 1>was his dream. Is this. I'll come up with the

347
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>right family word, but this anti semi in New York

348
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:03.680
<v Speaker 1>he is I can't say that word either. He is

349
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>perverting doctor King, and that cannot lead good places for anyone,

350
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 1>particularly him. My goodness. No, it's all about equal opportunity.

351
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>And think about what doctor King was facing, particularly at

352
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:20.519
<v Speaker 1>the time when he led this movement. I mean he

353
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.319
<v Speaker 1>was facing in America where you are technically quote separate,

354
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.640
<v Speaker 1>but equal evil was no longer legal, but it was

355
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>still happening lots of places in America. And that's what

356
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:35.400
<v Speaker 1>he was fighting for, that equal opportunity, this idea of

357
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:39.960
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed equal outcome. That that's not only so anti American,

358
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.359
<v Speaker 1>because obviously a guy like this socialist in New York

359
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like America. I mean, he's running to turn this

360
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.519
<v Speaker 1>into a highly different kind of nation, just like all

361
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>those other socialist nations that have failed. Right, No, this

362
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:59.279
<v Speaker 1>is not only anti American. This is anti everything good,

363
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's certainly anti everything doctor King stood for. So yeah,

364
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.039
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have a real problem because he's the face of

365
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.559
<v Speaker 1>the party. Right, you can't get any energy going in

366
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that party right now, because what's there to build around.

367
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:16.519
<v Speaker 1>You know that that party has just turned itself into

368
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:21.720
<v Speaker 1>this kind of random collection of special interest groups that

369
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.279
<v Speaker 1>just gathered together to get and keep power. And think

370
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:27.839
<v Speaker 1>about what it's built around. Now, the Democratic Party that

371
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.720
<v Speaker 1>used to be a Democratic Party of John Kennedy, look

372
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>at the decay and look what it's built around. Now.

373
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 1>It's built around a commitment to slaughtering large numbers of

374
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.839
<v Speaker 1>innocent humans. That's what it's built around, and slaughtering them

375
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to the moment of delivery. It's built around depriving children

376
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:51.519
<v Speaker 1>of equal opportunity and education disproportionately kids of color, middle

377
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:54.400
<v Speaker 1>income kids, lower income kids. It's built around that. Those

378
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.720
<v Speaker 1>are the twin pillars right now of this looney Democratic Party.

379
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.640
<v Speaker 1>It's built around second Kirism, squeezing God out of everything,

380
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:06.119
<v Speaker 1>ignoring the very words of our founders, which they declare

381
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.039
<v Speaker 1>to be unconstitutional right now, the last line and earlier

382
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:12.640
<v Speaker 1>lines of the Declaration of Independence. So there's nothing to

383
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker 1>get excited about for any normal person in the Democratic

384
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Party other than they're not Republicans, right and the GOP

385
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 1>needs to do a better job there. But so now

386
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the Barack Obama phenomena, though Obama was

387
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.960
<v Speaker 1>smoother at it. Now you've got this guy. You know,

388
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.000
<v Speaker 1>he can put a couple of sentences together, you can

389
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.000
<v Speaker 1>do this and that, and he's promising all this free

390
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>stuff and some big dramatic change. So now there's something

391
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to get excited about for some in the Democratic Party,

392
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:44.200
<v Speaker 1>which creates a mega problem nationwide for Democrats. Three oh

393
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:46.640
<v Speaker 1>three someone three A two five five The number takes

394
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 1>d an five seven seven three nine. So Ryany also says, hey,

395
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.359
<v Speaker 1>there's there's plenty of money out there, plenty of money

396
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:56.039
<v Speaker 1>for everybody.

397
00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:59.440
<v Speaker 6>There are in the country about twelve hundred, you know,

398
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.759
<v Speaker 6>people who are just wealthy, beyond beyond anything, right, And

399
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:05.960
<v Speaker 6>in twenty or five years ago there were only about

400
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:09.519
<v Speaker 6>forty of them. Now there are twelve hundred people who

401
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:11.680
<v Speaker 6>are worth more than a billion dollars and much more

402
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:14.640
<v Speaker 6>than that. That has to be addressed at some point,

403
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.519
<v Speaker 6>because they're not paying the taxes that the rest of.

404
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Us are paying.

405
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely, and I think it gets to the heart of

406
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.640
<v Speaker 7>the matter, which is that there is enough money for

407
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:23.799
<v Speaker 7>a life of dignity for all people. It's just a

408
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 7>question of whether we have the political will to ensure

409
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:28.640
<v Speaker 7>that that might make away from people delivering that.

410
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.759
<v Speaker 1>And give it to other people, right, because that's what

411
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>he's talking about. He's talking about redistribution of wealth. And

412
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:36.440
<v Speaker 1>then it's just a matter of what mechanism you use.

413
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.400
<v Speaker 1>And again, this is where nationwide it looks like it's

414
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:41.839
<v Speaker 1>about to work in New York before it fails miserably,

415
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.799
<v Speaker 1>but work from an election day. This is where the left,

416
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, just shoots themselves in both feet. And it's

417
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:51.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the big reasons the Left is in steady

418
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 1>decline across America most places, is they look down on

419
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 1>working people, They look down on people of f They

420
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 1>have this view. And I know, I mean grew up

421
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.279
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago, wealthiest family in America. My dad a cop,

422
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 1>My mom stayed home to be a housewife to we

423
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.039
<v Speaker 1>five kids. That well, housewife to my dad and then

424
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.039
<v Speaker 1>a mom to we five kids, and so I know

425
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.480
<v Speaker 1>we experienced it. All working people have the way that

426
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.359
<v Speaker 1>it's these elitist. And I'm not talking about people with money,

427
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:22.880
<v Speaker 1>because there are plenty of people with money who are

428
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.160
<v Speaker 1>not elitists in our good kind hearted, generous people who

429
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:29.359
<v Speaker 1>help other people get opportunities. But the elitist who control

430
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party. Now that the way they look down

431
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:36.680
<v Speaker 1>on you, and because they look down on working people,

432
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:39.240
<v Speaker 1>what they don't get is the vast majority of working

433
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:44.680
<v Speaker 1>people have no interest in redistribution of wealth. They're not jealous.

434
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 1>We never sat there growing up jealous of the wealthy

435
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 1>people we caddied for or anything like that. My dad

436
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.559
<v Speaker 1>was still a golf caddy while he was working as

437
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a Chicago police officer. He caddied to get extra money

438
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 1>on weekends. And then we grew up. We couldn't wait

439
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.880
<v Speaker 1>to become golf caddies, and we didn't sit there jealous

440
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.720
<v Speaker 1>of the rich people we were caddying for. You know,

441
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:08.559
<v Speaker 1>we just wanted our own fair opportunity. Then we make

442
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of ourselves what we will. So that's where the left

443
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:16.160
<v Speaker 1>completely miscalculates, and in this whole idea of yeah, we're

444
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 1>going to promise this income redistribution, no matter what term

445
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:23.240
<v Speaker 1>they used for it, et cetera. That's never going to

446
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>fly broadly in America, but but it can win here

447
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and there. And it's one sum in Colorado three or

448
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:32.200
<v Speaker 1>three someone three A two five five the number text

449
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.759
<v Speaker 1>d A N five seven seven three nine. It does

450
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.960
<v Speaker 1>remind me Ryan of this great line that the parish

451
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>priest had once and this is about ten years ago,

452
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.559
<v Speaker 1>and there was a capital campaign at the church and

453
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 1>he said, hey, I got good news and bad news.

454
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:49.839
<v Speaker 1>He said. The good news is we got plenty of

455
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:50.960
<v Speaker 1>money to build a new church.

456
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:51.279
<v Speaker 7>Yay.

457
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Bad news is it's in your pockets.

458
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:56.359
<v Speaker 4>So I like that.

459
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.880
<v Speaker 1>It was a great lie. But here's the difference, right,

460
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:05.599
<v Speaker 1>here's the difference between this anti Semite New York antii

461
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Semitic socialist is is you know, when the priest was talking,

462
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.079
<v Speaker 1>he was asking people, Okay, please give your money so

463
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.960
<v Speaker 1>we can do this. Give your money so we can

464
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.759
<v Speaker 1>take care of those less fortunate. He's telling. The New

465
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:23.680
<v Speaker 1>York guy's telling, now, we're going to take it from

466
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.519
<v Speaker 1>either power of government. We're going to take it from you,

467
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:27.119
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to give it to these other people.

468
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:29.839
<v Speaker 1>And again, what could possibly go wrong? Where has that

469
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:34.480
<v Speaker 1>ever failed other than everywhere? But yeah, and that's the

470
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.400
<v Speaker 1>other thing. The left doesn't get his faith right. Like

471
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:39.119
<v Speaker 1>that's why police came out the day after he won

472
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the governor's race and said, you got to leave your

473
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:43.559
<v Speaker 1>faith outside the public square because he knows if people

474
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 1>actually live their faith. The left can't win. The left

475
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:52.440
<v Speaker 1>can't win, and so people of faith and conservatives. And

476
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>I never would have believed this until I became one

477
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.480
<v Speaker 1>as a Democrat. I never would have believed this. Conservatives

478
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:02.480
<v Speaker 1>are extraordinarily generous. So conservatives, and I'm speaking broadly, you'll

479
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:04.880
<v Speaker 1>find the occasional knuck i'll head, like any human endeavor,

480
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:07.680
<v Speaker 1>but broadly speaking, and I never in a million years

481
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.400
<v Speaker 1>would have thought this when I was a Democrat. You know, Conservatives,

482
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>they are extremely generous, and they just want to be

483
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.480
<v Speaker 1>able to give it themselves, to decide to go out

484
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.720
<v Speaker 1>and to share that wealth and to give the money themselves,

485
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:26.119
<v Speaker 1>rather than have socialist or socialist by some other name

486
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:28.799
<v Speaker 1>come in say no, I'm taking your money and I'm

487
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:30.599
<v Speaker 1>giving it to these people. Now, that doesn't mean we

488
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have a safety net in society. Of course we should.

489
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Any decent society would. But that's not what the socialist

490
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 1>in New York is talking about. That's not what these

491
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:42.440
<v Speaker 1>these democrats here in Colorado are talking about. They're talking about,

492
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like Mike Johnston, I'm going to take your money that

493
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.519
<v Speaker 1>you've earned and I'm going to give it to other people.

494
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 1>That's why he promises the world come to Denver.

495
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:51.559
<v Speaker 3>End we will get you a home.

496
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:53.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what label would you put on that you're on

497
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the Dan Capla Show.

498
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.400
<v Speaker 3>And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

499
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how do you like that? President Kelly? I mean,

500
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:09.920
<v Speaker 1>if people only knew around this radio station, Kelly throws

501
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:13.279
<v Speaker 1>parties for everybody. Doesn't even have to be their birthday.

502
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:15.480
<v Speaker 1>They could have just thought about their birthday coming up.

503
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.599
<v Speaker 1>Kelly throws them a party. I find out halfway through

504
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.240
<v Speaker 1>today's show that's not it wasn't halfway a third of

505
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the way through to show what difference does that make

506
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that it's Kelly's birthday? I don't see a single streamer. Yeah,

507
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't see a cake. I don't see a candle.

508
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 1>How could this be.

509
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.000
<v Speaker 3>My underappreciated that's putting it mildly for Kelly co chair.

510
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Why. Yeah, she's just.

511
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Sitting there kind of staring off into the distance.

512
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised she's still here.

513
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:45.440
<v Speaker 3>If I was her, Oh, I'm sure.

514
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine how much she has spent on cards

515
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and cakes and streamers and everything for all of us.

516
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:54.920
<v Speaker 3>She's outstanding and we're sitting here right now.

517
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>We're playing her a song.

518
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:57.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that's all.

519
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh my lord, Yeah, Steven, you're on the Dan Capitol Show. Yeah,

520
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of nice birthday text for you, Kelly. Yeah.

521
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:07.960
<v Speaker 3>The people love her. She's the people's champion.

522
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 1>She is that, Dan. I don't think poor people employ

523
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.880
<v Speaker 1>anyone versus billionaires employ many. And this just goes back

524
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>to a bigger conversation we're having about how the left

525
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.799
<v Speaker 1>doesn't understand working people. We don't sit around jealous of

526
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 1>people with money. We just want a fair shot. And

527
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 1>so to that point, yeah, I mean, like all those

528
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.079
<v Speaker 1>years we were caddy and my dad was caddy, and

529
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:31.559
<v Speaker 1>my uncle, the priest, was caddying before he became a priest.

530
00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:34.599
<v Speaker 1>He didn't sit there jealous of the rich people. Now

531
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you appreciated the job. You like most of the people.

532
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:40.519
<v Speaker 1>And then hey, those rich people sent me to college

533
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.960
<v Speaker 1>through the Evans Scholarship, the golf Caddy scholarship. Have you

534
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:44.240
<v Speaker 1>ever seen the movie Caddyshack?

535
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Many times, not quite as many as you, I don't.

536
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Think, though. No, that's right, I lived it, Dan, I

537
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:53.319
<v Speaker 1>agree with ninety nine percent of everything you say. I

538
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 1>failed again. I'll get him to one hundred percent. Happy birthday,

539
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:01.359
<v Speaker 1>dear Kelly, or giggle makes my day. She does have

540
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous giggle.

541
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's funny. It is in the background with the echo.

542
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 7>There.

543
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, maybe maybe there is something planned. Happy birthday, Kelly,

544
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>see you in the bathroom.

545
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:21.839
<v Speaker 3>Sonny in the back. Sorry, one a different direct too fast?

546
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Here? Whoa Steven Denver. You're on the Dan Caplis Show. Welcome,

547
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Hey Dan.

548
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Why don't you ever talk about why the rich don't

549
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.440
<v Speaker 4>pay their fair share? I mean, because these knuckle ahead

550
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.400
<v Speaker 4>lefties don't really understand the concept that the rich people

551
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.799
<v Speaker 4>don't get paid the same way we do. And even

552
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:39.680
<v Speaker 4>if one of them contributes to a four oh one K,

553
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:43.079
<v Speaker 4>they're not paying their fit their fair share either. Explain

554
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.480
<v Speaker 4>how that works, you know. It's like these guys don't

555
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 4>pay taxes on their money. They get paid in stock

556
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:50.839
<v Speaker 4>auctions and investments. They don't pay taxes on that until

557
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:52.720
<v Speaker 4>they withdrawn out of the bank account to use it.

558
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:54.799
<v Speaker 4>Same as me. I'm going to text for all my

559
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.559
<v Speaker 4>investments till I retire a rich point, I'll be in

560
00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:59.880
<v Speaker 4>a lower tax bracket that I'm in now, I'll be

561
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 4>I have tax on that on that money than I

562
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:02.200
<v Speaker 4>should today.

563
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So, like Trump has talked about and everything else,

564
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you're just taking advantage of the law of the way

565
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it's structured. But let me ask you, because it sounds like,

566
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:12.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, you've worked hard and done very well financially,

567
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:15.680
<v Speaker 1>what do you think you should be paying if you

568
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:17.480
<v Speaker 1>could write the tax code the way you think it

569
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:21.079
<v Speaker 1>should be written. For income you make this year, what

570
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.279
<v Speaker 1>do you think you should be paid?

571
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, not as much as what they want to make

572
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:26.000
<v Speaker 4>me pay. I don't want to pay well.

573
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:27.039
<v Speaker 1>They have you paid all?

574
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 4>Agree with?

575
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.240
<v Speaker 1>They have you paid all? They just distributed?

576
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. We paid thirty percent right now in

577
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:34.480
<v Speaker 4>our tax bracket. You know, my wife and I may

578
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:38.519
<v Speaker 4>make really good money, so you know, thirty thirty five

579
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:40.759
<v Speaker 4>percent where our tax bracket should be. But you know,

580
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 4>still even then, that's a you know, I hate to

581
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 4>say it, it's not enough to really live on. Right

582
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 4>You're still stretching, stretching end to end on it. Yeah,

583
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we're we're saving money, we're interesting, we're going

584
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:52.839
<v Speaker 4>to be we're going to be well off in retirement.

585
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.599
<v Speaker 4>But at the same time, it's like it's still you

586
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:57.400
<v Speaker 4>still struggle with that with that tax bracket because we're

587
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:58.759
<v Speaker 4>paying for for everything else.

588
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you get hit with all these other types

589
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:05.359
<v Speaker 1>of taxes along the way as well. Yeah yeah, yeah,

590
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, does police pay his fair share? Ryan? Do

591
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.279
<v Speaker 1>you remember that pro public article? I can't remember with

592
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:12.039
<v Speaker 1>his effective tax rate?

593
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 3>I remember that.

594
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, if I remember writing, i'd want to rerate it again.

595
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's lower than the typical waitress. Yeah.

596
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And then how much does does Amazon and you know,

597
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.759
<v Speaker 4>Elon Musks company contribute to the overall tax base with jobs,

598
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:30.519
<v Speaker 4>payroll taxes, corporate taxes, sales taxes, all that stuff. I

599
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:33.400
<v Speaker 4>meanw much do they generate to their businesses for that? So?

600
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well but as you know, you know, a socialist

601
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.519
<v Speaker 1>like this and I sent New York, you know that

602
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:41.039
<v Speaker 1>they would want to kill the golden goose, have this

603
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 1>one big feast, you know that that last a few

604
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:47.240
<v Speaker 1>months and then all of a sudden things just deteriorate.

605
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But they're not going to mine that, right because then

606
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:53.000
<v Speaker 1>people are just more dependent on government as things go downhill,

607
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:55.599
<v Speaker 1>and they figure if they've got there, they're built in

608
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:59.759
<v Speaker 1>electoral majority. As they make things worse, they expand their

609
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>bililt in majority, that's their plan.

610
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:05.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, if you want to give me a

611
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:07.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, the constant living and just send me a

612
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:09.960
<v Speaker 4>check every week, then I'm not going to be productive anymore.

613
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:12.320
<v Speaker 4>I'll no, I'm happy to sit back and not do anything.

614
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, or tax steve to the point where it

615
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.599
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't make any sense to work those fourteen sixteen

616
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:21.519
<v Speaker 1>hour days, right right, I mean, yeah, exactly, Then you

617
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:23.599
<v Speaker 1>just don't do it anymore. Good call, man, Hey, really

618
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:27.440
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that as a guide. I'm not going to say

619
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:31.440
<v Speaker 1>it would sound too self serving, but I'll say it anyway.

620
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, Okay, So I've been in a

621
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 1>mode now and I'm I think, God every day i

622
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.840
<v Speaker 1>have the job I have, and I've we've been blessed

623
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>with the good things we've been blessed with in our firm.

624
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:44.599
<v Speaker 1>But I'm probably averaging. I was whining about this, I

625
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.199
<v Speaker 1>think to my wife a day or two ago. Then

626
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:50.360
<v Speaker 1>she went off to play what's that game they play now?

627
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Have you're an a majon or something?

628
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:52.400
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

629
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But I think I've averaged probably twelve or thirteen

630
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:58.360
<v Speaker 1>hours a day, usually fifteen, six days a week at

631
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.119
<v Speaker 1>least for the last four or five months, Right, Am

632
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I going to put in that much time in my

633
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:05.639
<v Speaker 1>job if all of a sudden the government's going to

634
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:08.480
<v Speaker 1>be taking eighty percent of it. And then you think

635
00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:10.320
<v Speaker 1>of the jobs that aren't created and all of that

636
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:12.199
<v Speaker 1>good stuff. But again, I'm grateful to have it. Thank

637
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:13.239
<v Speaker 1>you Ryan, thank you Kelly.
