<v Speaker 2>Hope. Wow.

7
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Actually he's also a citizen of Peru. But what a day.

8
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think anybody has to be Catholic to

9
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 1>really be intrigued by what we've been watching and what

10
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>just culminated today with yeah, Pope Leo the fourteenth. And

11
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I got to tell you, having grown up back there

12
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 1>south side, southwest side, it just unimaginable that we would

13
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 1>have a pope from Chicago, not that there have been

14
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a ton of great priests, you know. I spent four

15
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 1>years in the Catholic seminary back there at the same

16
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>time that the new pope was in a Catholic seminary.

17
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 2>What was kind of weird was.

18
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>His parish was just about three four miles down the

19
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>road from the.

20
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>High school seminary I went to.

21
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>But instead of going to our seminary quickly south, he

22
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 1>then went up to Michigan to Saint Augustine up in Michigan,

23
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, if he'd just gone to his local seminary,

24
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 1>we would have been in there together. He would have

25
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>been a couple of years ad, but we would have

26
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 1>been in there together. But just mind blowing to think

27
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>of somebody from the South Side now becoming pope. But hey,

28
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>anything's possible, right, anything's possible in America and uh and

29
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>in the Catholic church three or three someone three, you know,

30
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what happens when you're off for a few days.

31
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Thank you so much to Shareff Reims and

32
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 1>to KBB and Da Heidi for filling in while I

33
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 1>was in trial. And obviously they do a great job,

34
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to be hopefully doing a great job

35
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>again the week after next, because I'm back in trial

36
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 1>the week after next.

37
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 2>But we'll enjoy this time with you in the meantime.

38
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Three all three seven to one three A two five five,

39
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>as they say in English text d an five seven

40
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>seven three nine.

41
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>So anxious to get your thoughts on.

42
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Everything that's been happening during this week that I have

43
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 1>been away in trial. And I just love going to

44
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>trial down in Colorado Springs. I'll pass so and just

45
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful experience down there, so great to see everybody

46
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>down in the springs. Some brutal early spring weather right

47
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.439
<v Speaker 1>or I guess mid spring weather down there, but it

48
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>was still absolutely wonderful.

49
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want to get your take on, Hey, what

50
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>do you want.

51
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>From this pope? Whether you're Catholic or not, what do

52
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>you want from this pope? I'd really be intrigued to

53
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 1>hear from me on that, because I think we all

54
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>know that the reality is, no matter what somebody's denomination is,

55
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>or maybe somebody's no faith at all or some other

56
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 1>faith not Christian, you know, in the end, there's no

57
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>denying that the pope takes on a world leadership role.

58
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>And it depends the extent obviously on the pope. You

59
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>look at John Paul the Great and I think he

60
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 1>just goes down as one of the great leaders in

61
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>human history, you know, regardless of you know, the position

62
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 1>in this case pope. And then you have other popes

63
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>who have less global impact or at least less obvious

64
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>global impact.

65
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>But what do you want from this pope?

66
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to get your take on that, whether you're

67
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 1>Catholic or not faithful or not whatever. Would love to

68
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 1>get your take on what you want from this Pope

69
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>three or three someone three eight two five five text

70
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>d A N five seven seven three nine, And I

71
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>think you'll find his background pretty interesting. Excuse me as

72
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>we get into that conversation. They call him the Latin

73
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Yankee and Robert Francis Prevost. He was born on September

74
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 1>fourteenth of nineteen fifty five Mercy Hospital in Chicago.

75
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>His dad a World War Two vet dad in the Navy.

76
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Spanish origin.

77
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>And then yeah, he was he was just at Saint

78
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Mary of Assumption on the south side of Chicago, and

79
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 1>that's now closed. And then, as I said, while I

80
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>was a quickly south prep seminary, he was up at

81
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Saint Augustine in Michigan. Interesting, both of our seminaries closed

82
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>soon after we graduated, and then my seminary became a

83
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Catholic high school, Saint Rita. And then that now Pope

84
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>came back to teach at Saint Rita, so he was

85
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 1>actually teaching at the place where I went high school.

86
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>We had to be there together when Pope John Paul

87
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 1>the Second came and said Mass at my high school.

88
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure we were there at the same time, but

89
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>he would have been there then as a senior seminary

90
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was in seminary for four years during high

91
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>school years. So Cubs fan and an active tennis player.

92
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 1>So here's my take on the pope, and I really

93
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>would love to get yours, particularly if you're you're not Catholic,

94
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to get your take on him.

95
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>My bet is he has to be spectacular.

96
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like Pope John Paul, the second spectacular qualities

97
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>to have been elected pope because you have to think

98
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 1>there'd be such a bias against any American born pope.

99
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>There must just be spectacular qualities for this to have happened. Now,

100
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I was just talking to Jimmy Seckenberger when he was

101
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>on the way out. Yeah, right, that just the second

102
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 1>non European pope. So yeah, there's got to be some

103
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>spectacular qualities here. So I'm really excited. I'm really excited

104
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to see what he brings to the table because you know,

105
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>my and I understand, if somebody's not Catholic, they have

106
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 1>their own perception of maybe a quote typical Catholic priest.

107
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>And if somebody is Catholic, I guess depending upon what

108
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>part of the country they're and they have their own

109
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of stereotype or norm, let's say norm. But I

110
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>got to tell you, as a guy who is fortunate

111
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to grow up in Chicago in that archdiocese and be

112
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 1>taught by those priests during seminary years, and my uncle's

113
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 1>a priest, we're going to try to get him on

114
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the show today see if he knows the pope. I mean, come,

115
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>my uncle's been a Catholic priest in Chicago for a

116
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>long time. He's ninety three, and he's does three masses

117
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 1>a week and he still packs the house for him

118
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and because he's really good, he gives great homilies, and

119
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>he's always understood. He's always understood. You know, hey, life's

120
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>busy for everybody. Have about a seven minute homily, make

121
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 1>a key point, tell a joke, and get out of dodge.

122
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>And so he.

123
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Still packs the house for his masses. So we'll try

124
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to get him on the show and see what he

125
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>knows of the new Pope.

126
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>And if he doesn't know him himself.

127
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he knows a bunch of guys who do,

128
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>particularly if the new pope's a golfer. So threebout three

129
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>someone three eight two five five Text d An five, seven, seven,

130
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>three nine. But the point of all that is, you know,

131
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 1>for me, a guy grew up in Chicago, Catholic seminary

132
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago, and then knowing the priests I know here

133
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 1>in Denver, my.

134
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Experience with priests is just an.

135
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Awful lot of you know, cool guys, smart guys, you know,

136
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>guys who could have done anything but just decided, hey,

137
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're going to serve God, and just you know,

138
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>really cool guys to be around. And so my guess

139
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 1>is that he is one of those guys, and assuming

140
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 1>that the pope is that can do so much good

141
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 1>for the church worldwide, and also you have just so

142
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>much good for the world in terms of leadership, et cetera.

143
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>So that's my bet is that there's something really really

144
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>really special for him to have overcome the American born thing,

145
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and that we're going to see that, and we're going

146
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>to see that in the form probably of a you know,

147
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a younger, more active, more physically active pope than maybe

148
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>people normally envisioned more along the model of John Paul

149
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the Second. So I'm optimistic, can't wait and would love

150
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 1>to get your take on this. This text says Dan,

151
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I am not Catholic, but I'd like him to hold

152
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>fast to biblical values and not be with the politics

153
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 1>politics more like John Paul, less like Pope Francis. You know,

154
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not agreeing with that criticism of Pope Francis, but

155
00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I get the reference to John Paul the Second right,

156
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>because Yeah, that was someone that I think lots of

157
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.639
<v Speaker 1>people from around the world who weren't Catholic could relate

158
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 1>to get interested in. And that's part of the calling,

159
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>right that that's part of what Christ wants us to do.

160
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>So I have a feeling this Pope is going to

161
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 1>be a particularly good messenger like that. In terms of

162
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the quote weoll politics, yeah, I would be. I would

163
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>fully expect him to be very pro basic human dignity

164
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 1>of immigrants, whether they're legal immigrants or not, and as

165
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I think he should be right, I mean, I think

166
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 1>all of us should be respecting the basic human dignity

167
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>of everybody, including those who might want to come into

168
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 1>a country legally. That doesn't mean they should, that doesn't

169
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.039
<v Speaker 1>mean they should be allowed to That's not the point.

170
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>And if somebody's just an awful, add criminal type person,

171
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, well then obviously you've got that that has

172
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>to be dealt with practically as well. But in terms

173
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 1>of the inherent human dignity we all have because we're

174
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>created by God, Yeah, I expect he'll speak strongly to that.

175
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>But here's the key, right, here's the key.

176
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 1>It's like the Colorado bishops have been so articulate and

177
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>so strong and making it clear that right, you know, folks, immigrants,

178
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>including illegal immigrants, they're still children God, they have this

179
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>basic human dignity. But a country is allowed to have

180
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>its borders, a country must be allowed to enforce its laws.

181
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 1>There are lots of challenging problems that come with unfederately

182
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 1>legal immigration. A nation has a right to have an

183
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 1>orderly process, and so I think the Catholic Bishops of

184
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Colorado have spoken perfectly to this in a way that

185
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I would expect is acceptable to the vast majority of

186
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 1>folks who, let's say, agree with the Republican Party platform

187
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>on illegal immigration. But at the same time that the bishops,

188
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, acknowledge and strongly acknowledge that basic human dignity.

189
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 1>So it'll be very interesting to see and where this

190
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Pope comes down on some of the specifics. But my

191
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>expectation is that we'll be much closer to the really

192
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>wise stance taken by the Colorado Catholic bishops and while

193
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>still respecting that inherent human dignity. So it's uh, I'm

194
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.159
<v Speaker 1>really optimistic about what's to come.

195
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Much more to talk about as well. I mean, again,

196
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:33.720
<v Speaker 2>i've been in trial.

197
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 1>We haven't had a chance to talk about the DOJ

198
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 1>suit against Colorado, the DOJ suit against Denver. Will zero

199
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>in on that specifically and much more ahead. You're on

200
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the Dan Capla Show.

201
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.639
<v Speaker 3>And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.

202
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Three h three.

203
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>So when three eight two five five the number techs

204
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 1>d A N five seven seven three nine. And as

205
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>a Catholic, obviously a huge day as we have the

206
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>new pope. But as a guy who grew up on

207
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 1>the South Side of Chicago, then the Southwest Side and

208
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>went to Catholic seminary in Chicago, particularly intrigued fellow Chicagoan

209
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>who was in minor seminary at the same time, I

210
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.799
<v Speaker 1>would somehow ended up as pope. I'm yeah, wow, just

211
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 1>absolutely unimaginable to me, but very cool because I beting

212
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 1>he is uber uber talented or would not have been

213
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>able to overcome the American born thing. We'll have some

214
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>great sound from President Trump talking about how exciting, excited

215
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>he is and what a great honor it is for

216
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>America to have an American born pope. Obviously, any pope

217
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 1>then just becomes kind of a citizen of the world.

218
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 1>And if we wanted to get philosophical, right, I mean,

219
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.159
<v Speaker 1>we're all just citizens of heaven. But yeah, but how

220
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>cool to have somebody, you know, from Chicago and American,

221
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:01.440
<v Speaker 1>though also a Peruvian citizen, became a citizen of Peru

222
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 1>as he spent I think he spent about twenty years there. So,

223
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.320
<v Speaker 1>whether you're Catholic or not religious or not, what do

224
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 1>you want to see from this new pope. We're also

225
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:13.519
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about to me, one of the most

226
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 1>mind blowing things I've ever seen happen in almost thirty

227
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>years on air, and it should be one of those

228
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 1>cut through the noise moments that causes that the people

229
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 1>of Colorado to just really take notice of how truly

230
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 1>psycho that's an understatement. The left in Colorado has become

231
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>that Denver is pulling the license plate readers because they're

232
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>afraid that it will lead to illegal immigrants being detained.

233
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, imagine that you could not have a clearer

234
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:47.679
<v Speaker 1>example of the choice that the Colorado Democratic Party has

235
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 1>made between citizens of the state and people here illegally,

236
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.799
<v Speaker 1>just as the Democratic Party Colorado has made a clear

237
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>choice between criminals and non criminals. And it's just again,

238
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 1>it's almost unimaginable, right, But they're so brazen about it.

239
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:07.879
<v Speaker 1>I understand this is a Denver example, but we have

240
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 1>so many state wide examples, including bills that have just

241
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>passed the legislature, where there's this clear choice in one example,

242
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>in favor of criminals and against the innocent, and in

243
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>another example, in favor of people here illegally and against

244
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 1>people here legally. And to cap it all off, in

245
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 1>the most obscene, immoral abuse of public power, repeated clear

246
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.559
<v Speaker 1>choices in favor of people here illegally who have committed

247
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:45.240
<v Speaker 1>serious crimes and against innocent citizens. I mean, you wouldn't

248
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.799
<v Speaker 1>believe it if it was in a novel, right, But

249
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 1>it is what is actually happening in Colorado. And the

250
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party obviously feels and you tell me if you

251
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 1>think they're right, but they obviously feel that they are

252
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 1>electorally bulletproof. It's not going to make any difference whatsoever

253
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 1>when they run against the Republican opponent.

254
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 2>And the reason they do it.

255
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:12.039
<v Speaker 1>In part is because the big money for Democrat candidates,

256
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 1>the big money they need to win primaries in statewide offices,

257
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>comes from the hardcore secular left. And if they want

258
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 1>to get that big money from the hardcore secular left,

259
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>they have to do these insane things that are societal suicide.

260
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And then you see the societal suicide play out right.

261
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look at Denver.

262
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.559
<v Speaker 1>We'll be talking about some more of those stats today,

263
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Michael Brown on six point thirty kitchen. I mean, Denver

264
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>had a tremendous couple of segments on this this morning,

265
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, just documenting Denver now most recent study third

266
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 1>in crime Colorado third and crime in the US. And

267
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.399
<v Speaker 1>it just fits with all of these other stats, confirming

268
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 1>what common sense would tell you that if you have

269
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 1>the kind of laws that the left is imposed in Colorado,

270
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>now you do those things, well, then the state is

271
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.559
<v Speaker 1>going to go steadily downhill. And it's just like going bankrupt,

272
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:06.879
<v Speaker 1>right to go bankrupt slowly and then all at once,

273
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>And that is the clear trajectory Colorado is on now.

274
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.240
<v Speaker 2>As awful as the left is.

275
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>They cannot overnight just make our amazing natural, God given

276
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.879
<v Speaker 1>beauty disappear, or our tremendous weather disappear, or our amazingly

277
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 1>favorable geographic location disappear. They can't make all that just disappear.

278
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 1>But they can make this place as bad as it

279
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 1>could possibly be given all of the natural advantages we have.

280
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:39.679
<v Speaker 1>And it is clearly headed that direction. But are they

281
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 1>right that the voters they just don't care. I mean

282
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 1>they care, they don't like it, this and that, But

283
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:46.639
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean they're going to vote for the Republican.

284
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Is that where we're at right now?

285
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Because that is their bet, that is their bet they

286
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>can get away with anything, because no matter what, the

287
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>voters are not going to elect Republicans statewide. Love your

288
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 1>take on that? Three or three someone three eight two

289
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>five five texts d An five seven seven three nine. Personally,

290
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I think what they're doing is immoral, and I think

291
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that they which to some of them.

292
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Won't matter right because to me, this is one.

293
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Of the most disheartening things about what has happened to

294
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party in America when I was part of

295
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.039
<v Speaker 1>it and I grew up in it, and my parents,

296
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.879
<v Speaker 1>most of my extended family, all my extended family in

297
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago area, they're all Democrats. But I grew up

298
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.039
<v Speaker 1>when most Democrats and the Democratic Party were faith based.

299
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.679
<v Speaker 1>And now the Democratic Party is largely controlled by hardcore

300
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 1>seculars who are actively hostile toward faith, and in particular

301
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the Christian faith and the Catholic Christian faith.

302
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 2>So you get that going. And those those kind of.

303
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>People, I mean secular, they don't care often about whether

304
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>it's moral or not.

305
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 2>That just doesn't make any difference to them.

306
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:01.679
<v Speaker 1>So, but what you have right now is this situation

307
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>where they have bet the voters of Colorado just are

308
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.799
<v Speaker 1>not going to vote Republican no matter what. I think

309
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 1>they've overplayed their hand, and I think the right GOP

310
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 1>candidates because we've got a governor's race and a Senate

311
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.519
<v Speaker 1>race that normally, under normal conditions would be full throttle

312
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.640
<v Speaker 1>right now, right, it'd just be going crazy right now,

313
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>But there's very little interest because nobody thinks the Republican

314
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>can win. And I think that the left has overplayed

315
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:34.400
<v Speaker 1>its hand. You know, right candidate right campaign rights support,

316
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.839
<v Speaker 1>which means listen, nobody can win right short of the

317
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Good Lord coming down himself, and Boyd with the Colorado

318
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party oppose him.

319
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 4>Right.

320
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Short of the Good Lord coming down, it's say himself.

321
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>No GOP candidate can win without a unified Republican party,

322
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.599
<v Speaker 1>without a unified Republican voter block in Colorado.

323
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.519
<v Speaker 2>But I do.

324
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Believe if those stars align, Yeah, I think the Democrat

325
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.559
<v Speaker 1>could be beat, particularly given what appears to be their

326
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:07.440
<v Speaker 1>presumptive nominee Michael Bennett, not a Democrat, an Aristocrat and

327
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody I think the people of Colorado Wood reject would

328
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>reject if they had the right alternative and the right

329
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>campaign behind it. Love your thoughts on all that, including

330
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the new Pope. What do you want to see from

331
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the new Pope? And one of our favorite conservatives, Ty Winner,

332
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>will join us after the break here on the Dan

333
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Capla Show.

334
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

335
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Pope.

336
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>We've been talking about that a bit, particularly since these

337
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 1>from Chicago and we were in seminary at the same time.

338
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Back there was a couple of years ahead of me,

339
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:48.079
<v Speaker 2>but we were.

340
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.960
<v Speaker 1>At two different Catholic seminaries, which is weird because his

341
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 1>parish assumption was just a few miles down the road

342
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.319
<v Speaker 1>from my seminary, But just mind blowing that does somebody

343
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>from Chicago quis no pope, but I think he's going

344
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to be great.

345
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Hey, let's go to one of our favorite people.

346
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Assistant Minority Leader Ty Winter joins us again on the

347
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Dan Kapla Show. Ty, I'm pretty impressed that you're still saying.

348
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can't imagine working down there and you

349
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 1>have all of this just obnoxious, arrogant lunacy going on

350
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 1>from the left. So what's your secret? Is it, Tony Robbins?

351
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Is it chemical? I mean, what do you do to

352
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:28.119
<v Speaker 1>stay sane down there?

353
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:32.039
<v Speaker 4>Oh, mister Kaplis. It's the people. And I don't mean

354
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:33.000
<v Speaker 4>that to sound cheesy.

355
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.640
<v Speaker 2>It's the truth.

356
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, when you travel throughout these districts and you

357
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 4>have hard work and good, honest people come up to

358
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.160
<v Speaker 4>you and say, hey, keep fighting and keep doing what

359
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:43.319
<v Speaker 4>you're doing. I think that's what drives most of us.

360
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 4>At least that's what drives me. So I would say,

361
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.079
<v Speaker 4>it's the people and then trying to fight for what's right.

362
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.160
<v Speaker 4>I think that's one thing our caucus did this year.

363
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.599
<v Speaker 4>We were united in the fight. You know, like everybody,

364
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 4>we have our little family arguments, but we found the

365
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.240
<v Speaker 4>way to stay united when we needed to, and we

366
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.680
<v Speaker 4>got a lot of things done. So I think it

367
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 4>was a successful year for the Mighty twenty two and

368
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.440
<v Speaker 4>it was honored to stand with those twenty one other

369
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.680
<v Speaker 4>Republicans in the fight to save the soul of Colorado.

370
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, right, And I think if I remember the Bible, right,

371
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 1>it's fight, the good fight, finished the race. It's not

372
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.200
<v Speaker 1>put more points on the board than the other side.

373
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.519
<v Speaker 1>In fact, many of the greatest figures in history, right,

374
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:22.759
<v Speaker 1>have been people who have fought the good fight against

375
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.359
<v Speaker 1>seemingly impossible odds. And the w may not have come

376
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>during their season, but it helped pave the way for it.

377
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:30.839
<v Speaker 1>So what are the big highlights?

378
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, Whilst you know, we're really excited about being

379
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.079
<v Speaker 4>able to push off the Table resolution, I think, you know,

380
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 4>people say that there's way more than them than us,

381
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:42.240
<v Speaker 4>and they had the votes to do what they wanted.

382
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.480
<v Speaker 4>But by us activating the public in the citizenry and

383
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.119
<v Speaker 4>having people reach out and write off BIS and then

384
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 4>once we got the word out from the Caucus that

385
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.200
<v Speaker 4>they were coming after Tabor, I mean it activated the

386
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 4>people of Colorado because you know, people are starting to

387
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.400
<v Speaker 4>realize that the Democrats use fees and enterprise is to

388
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 4>skirt around tabor, and they see that they have priority

389
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 4>problems in Colorado, and I don't think people wanted to

390
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.440
<v Speaker 4>give them the pin to their debit cards. So, you know,

391
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:11.359
<v Speaker 4>I think that was a win for us. I think,

392
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:13.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, as strong as we fought even though we

393
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 4>weren't able to kill them, as strong as we fought

394
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 4>for parental rights in thirteen twelve, and as strong as

395
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:22.960
<v Speaker 4>we fought for the second Amendment on Senate Bill three.

396
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.359
<v Speaker 4>And there's just so many examples of this caucus just

397
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.079
<v Speaker 4>getting up every day and you know, fighting for you know,

398
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:32.359
<v Speaker 4>basic rights are unalienable, God given rights, and just fighting

399
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.359
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that there's a more affordable Colorado for people,

400
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.519
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that there's a safer Colorado, for people

401
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that they can raise their kids and

402
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.039
<v Speaker 4>big government doesn't get interfere and then finally to protect

403
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 4>their taxpayer bill rights. So I think those are all highlights.

404
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 4>I think we did a really good job of litigating

405
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:52.400
<v Speaker 4>the Long Bill and showing the people of Colorado we

406
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.880
<v Speaker 4>don't have a revenue problem, we have a priority problem.

407
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.279
<v Speaker 4>So those are definitely some highlights the year without getting

408
00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:58.359
<v Speaker 4>too deep into the weeds.

409
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Now, kid Winter, I guess a system menory leaders, So

410
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>ty here out there, you know what's going on.

411
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:05.559
<v Speaker 2>What's it going to take to get.

412
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 1>To the point where the people of Colorado are going

413
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to elect Republicans statewide.

414
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.640
<v Speaker 4>I think people believe in our ideas. I think we

415
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:16.319
<v Speaker 4>have to work on our messaging. And you know, I

416
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.240
<v Speaker 4>was listening to the show before, and you're right, it's

417
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.680
<v Speaker 4>going to have to be a united front. I think

418
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.359
<v Speaker 4>the problem that we have is is we have to

419
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:29.359
<v Speaker 4>really start to activate within our church communities, you know,

420
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 4>our smaller community than you know. The grassroots is strong

421
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.119
<v Speaker 4>in the state. We've seen it numerous times when Minority

422
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.519
<v Speaker 4>Leader Paglivi and Don Wilson, who was a representative last year,

423
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:42.359
<v Speaker 4>were able to get the question called up to the

424
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:44.200
<v Speaker 4>ballot to see if we wanted to stay in the

425
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.160
<v Speaker 4>Convention or if we wanted to break off and be

426
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 4>separate and have where the state of Colorado doesn't join

427
00:22:53.680 --> 00:23:02.039
<v Speaker 4>the Electoral College. Sorry about that, Dan, I was spoken all, oh, yeah, no, no, sorry,

428
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.640
<v Speaker 4>it's been a long day. The day of Colorado would

429
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.559
<v Speaker 4>be able to not have to worry about the electroc

430
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.839
<v Speaker 4>college issue, and the grassroots did that and they were

431
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.079
<v Speaker 4>able to come strong. So I think, I mean elevating

432
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.960
<v Speaker 4>and highlighting the grassroots. We've got to get out the

433
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 4>fundraising machine. The Democrats spend way more money than us,

434
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:18.559
<v Speaker 4>and that's unfortunate, but at the end of the day,

435
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:19.160
<v Speaker 4>that's how it works.

436
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:19.640
<v Speaker 2>So we have to.

437
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.160
<v Speaker 4>Activate the fundraising machine. We have to recruit quality candidates.

438
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.839
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we need candidates that have life experience, job experience,

439
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.440
<v Speaker 4>because those are the experience that we'll find out that

440
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:31.680
<v Speaker 4>are resonate with voters at the door. So I think

441
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.440
<v Speaker 4>if we get that ground game strong, we go recruit

442
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.359
<v Speaker 4>good candidates, we activate the grassroots, We educate the populace

443
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:41.880
<v Speaker 4>about what's happening happening to them by government and not

444
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 4>for government for them. I think people are ready to

445
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.000
<v Speaker 4>take a swing, and you know, some people think it's

446
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:48.359
<v Speaker 4>a while from now, but I think we're going to

447
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:49.880
<v Speaker 4>gain some more ground in the next year.

448
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Sir boy, the opportunities, sure, they're right. I mean, it

449
00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:56.720
<v Speaker 1>seems to me one of the big challenges is getting

450
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.960
<v Speaker 1>past what seems to be this strong belief that the

451
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.079
<v Speaker 1>GOP just can't.

452
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Win stay wide.

453
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:04.799
<v Speaker 1>So it seems like a lot of the big money

454
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:07.119
<v Speaker 1>guys and gales they won't get in at this point

455
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 1>because that's.

456
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:09.519
<v Speaker 2>That's how they got a lot of money.

457
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Right many of them is making good bets and they

458
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:15.440
<v Speaker 1>just don't see the GOP is a good bet right now.

459
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's going to take somebody to sort

460
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of break through all that get in a position where

461
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it looks like they can win, and then then I

462
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's a GOP could just pick off one of

463
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.519
<v Speaker 1>these big state wide races and show it's possible.

464
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Then I think it all loosens up.

465
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent, sir, and

466
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.799
<v Speaker 4>I think those candidates are out there. I do think

467
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 4>that people in this state are starting to pay attention

468
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.519
<v Speaker 4>because when life starts to get hard, people are going

469
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.480
<v Speaker 4>to pay attention. I mean we literally hear stories of

470
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:44.440
<v Speaker 4>people digging through the couch cushions to get changed by

471
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:46.519
<v Speaker 4>gas to go to work, and I mean at some

472
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.880
<v Speaker 4>point people are going to wake up. So I think

473
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 4>you're right. I think if we find a really good candidate,

474
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 4>we're able to activate all the other things. I think

475
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:54.119
<v Speaker 4>we do have a solid chance, but it's going to

476
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 4>take a lot of work, but I think our ideas

477
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:58.440
<v Speaker 4>are going to be the idea that prevails in the end.

478
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 4>I think that we have the commons dense ideas around

479
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 4>the nuclear family, around finances, around safety, but messaging that

480
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 4>is another thing. And then you know, like you said,

481
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:10.799
<v Speaker 4>unfortunately the people of Colorado have had to deal with

482
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.319
<v Speaker 4>a little bit that's kind of jerked their attention into

483
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 4>the political realm.

484
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, my brother, if it was just about ideas, I

485
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 1>think the GOP would win every race statewide. Right. It's

486
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.960
<v Speaker 1>just you know, as a former Democrat myself, I think

487
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:26.799
<v Speaker 1>there are so many people who just have this wrong

488
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 1>stereotype about Republicans that you know, you're not going to

489
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 1>get any help from the media defeating that. And it's

490
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:35.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, it's just going to be a tougher

491
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 1>fight for us, but we found a way before we

492
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.559
<v Speaker 1>will again. And yeah, I appreciate all the work you're

493
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>doing in the trenches because again that has to be

494
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.559
<v Speaker 1>brutal down there, but you and your colleagues you just

495
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:51.160
<v Speaker 1>keep showing up and fighting hard and accomplishing them probably

496
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>about as much as anybody ever could.

497
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, thank you and thank you for paying attention and

498
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.359
<v Speaker 4>all the people that pray for us and come and

499
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:00.880
<v Speaker 4>support us, and the people that come into fight, because

500
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 4>that's all woven into the story. And I think they

501
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.640
<v Speaker 4>have a little bit louder voice because their constituents can

502
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:09.119
<v Speaker 4>make it down to the capital so easy and testify.

503
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 4>But those of our constituents that drive in from you know,

504
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 4>al Paso County, all the nine counties in my district,

505
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 4>from all over in Colorado and they tell their story,

506
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 4>that helps us a lot because they need to hear

507
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.960
<v Speaker 4>those stories outside the metroplits. So you know, sir, I

508
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.720
<v Speaker 4>appreciate the kind words. Just know that the Mighty twenty

509
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 4>two are going to keep showing up. We're going to

510
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:31.440
<v Speaker 4>keep fighting. We're going to hit the roads running this summer.

511
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:32.640
<v Speaker 4>We're going to get out, we're going to talk to

512
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:34.680
<v Speaker 4>our constituents, and we're going to cheap trying to move

513
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 4>the needle. Like you said, because we don't own the media,

514
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.559
<v Speaker 4>they're not favorable to us. There's so many things stacked

515
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:42.200
<v Speaker 4>against us. But at the end of the day, sir,

516
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:45.440
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna win. I have that feeling, and you know,

517
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 4>you mentioned it earlier about being on the ground floor

518
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.920
<v Speaker 4>of something, and you may not be the one that

519
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.480
<v Speaker 4>gets it over the finish line. But you know, sometimes

520
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 4>being the cornerstone is, you know, the most important part

521
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:58.680
<v Speaker 4>to a good foundation. So I hope that you know,

522
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:00.960
<v Speaker 4>you are all seeing that we're going to continue to

523
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:02.799
<v Speaker 4>be that cornerstone and we're going to start to lay

524
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:06.400
<v Speaker 4>the foundation for you to get that Republican candidate in there.

525
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think, looking at it, logically, you've already won,

526
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.799
<v Speaker 1>right because I think people who stand up against evil things,

527
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not calling any of your political opponents evil,

528
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.880
<v Speaker 1>but they're pushing a lot of truly evil things. And

529
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 1>I think that big picture, people who stand up against

530
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.640
<v Speaker 1>evil things, especially against long odds, have already won in

531
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the most important sense. Now it's just a matter of

532
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.720
<v Speaker 1>just translating that into some legislative victories. But again, thanks

533
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:36.119
<v Speaker 1>for all you do and look forward to the next conversation.

534
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, sir.

535
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate you having me on. It was good hearing

536
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 4>from you, and I look forward to the next conversation

537
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:43.599
<v Speaker 4>as well. Have a good evening.

538
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, Ty, take care.

539
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.240
<v Speaker 1>It's Ty Winner, Assistant Minority Leader, and I know Ty,

540
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>outside of all this stuff, good guy, and they've really

541
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:52.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, there are a lot of good people working

542
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:55.400
<v Speaker 1>really hard down there, but obviously still a lot of

543
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:58.880
<v Speaker 1>very nasty stuff and some of it flat evil happening.

544
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:02.200
<v Speaker 2>And will be digging back into all of that shortly.

545
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:03.799
<v Speaker 1>But I'm getting a lot of text I want to

546
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:05.519
<v Speaker 1>get to some of those in calls as well on

547
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the new Pope and first one obviously born in America,

548
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:12.319
<v Speaker 1>And what do you want to see from the new Pope?

549
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:13.839
<v Speaker 2>You're on the Dan Capla Show.

550
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 3>And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast three or.

551
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Three someone three eight two five five text an five

552
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 1>seven seven three nine. Obviously I'm talking about baseball there.

553
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I hate to have the new pope, right, What do

554
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to see from the new pope? Whether you're

555
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Catholic or not Christian, or not faithful or not, what

556
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:39.279
<v Speaker 1>do you want to see from the new pope? Because

557
00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>popes aren't happening to be Catholic, but pope's take on

558
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a world importance as well, some more than others, right,

559
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I think in modern times the pinnacle of that pope

560
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.480
<v Speaker 1>John Paul the Second, now Saint John Paul the Great.

561
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.039
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, what do you want to see from this pope?

562
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to get to some text calls as well.

563
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about much more. And you know, Sho, I

564
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:02.799
<v Speaker 1>haven't been on this week at all. I've been in

565
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>trial down in Colorado Springs. Tremendous experience and grateful to

566
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody who filled in, Sheriff Steve Raims and KBB and

567
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Heidi and so.

568
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Grateful for that.

569
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:16.039
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, well, one of the weirdest things because I've

570
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>been trying cases for forty years and it's just one

571
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of the coolest things you can imagine, and then doing

572
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.160
<v Speaker 1>jury selection and meeting all these people from different areas

573
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.640
<v Speaker 1>in the state, and so we're in there with my

574
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:31.359
<v Speaker 1>wonderful client and everything's rolling, and then all of a sudden,

575
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we lose our alternate and then we lose

576
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a jury jury illness And every other case I've tried

577
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>for forty years, when you get down below six years

578
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>sybil is six felony twelve. When you get down below six,

579
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:46.039
<v Speaker 1>everybody's just agreed to go forward with five. But in

580
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 1>this case, the other side did not agree to go

581
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.680
<v Speaker 1>forward with five, and so the court had no choice

582
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:54.880
<v Speaker 1>but to end the trial like right in the middle

583
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:58.000
<v Speaker 1>of it. And so, boy, that's a new experience. I

584
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>never want to have again. But my wonderful client is

585
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.039
<v Speaker 1>an amazing person, a fighter, and we're going to go

586
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>back and tee it up again in a couple of months.

587
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.319
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so thank you to all of those who

588
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.279
<v Speaker 1>have done such a great job this week while I

589
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:12.799
<v Speaker 1>have been off in trial. Before I get to the

590
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.359
<v Speaker 1>phone lines, a Texter says, Dan, are you saying you

591
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:19.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know many Christian Democrats? Not at all, Not at all.

592
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Some of the best Christians I know are Democrats. What

593
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:25.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying is that you have an awsul lot of

594
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:28.119
<v Speaker 1>people voting for Democrats out of habit.

595
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Out of habit.

596
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:34.000
<v Speaker 1>They were born into a family that voted Democrat. They

597
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:36.519
<v Speaker 1>voted Democrat out of habits. It doesn't mean they like

598
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:40.079
<v Speaker 1>what the Democratic Party's doing. So many people just aren't

599
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:43.240
<v Speaker 1>actively engaged politically every day, right, They're not like the

600
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>folks listening to this show, no matter what side of

601
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 1>the aisle they're on, and so they're just not dialed

602
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 1>into the fact that, you know, hey, the Democratic Party

603
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>isn't what it used to be. It isn't your mom

604
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:58.759
<v Speaker 1>or your grandmother's Democratic Party. It's become taken over by

605
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:01.599
<v Speaker 1>the hardcore secular left. And so yeah, a lot of

606
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:04.200
<v Speaker 1>people voting Democrat who they're aware of some things that

607
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>are happening, but they're not dialed into that. And then

608
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the big thing, and I'm telling you this as a

609
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:11.599
<v Speaker 1>former Democrat, there's no denying this is true. You have

610
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:16.400
<v Speaker 1>this untrue stereotype about Republicans, which is the biggest thing

611
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that keeps many Democrats Democrats, because what percentage of Democrats

612
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>do you really think are these hardcore lefties you know,

613
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.799
<v Speaker 1>who you're never going to get They they just want

614
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:30.720
<v Speaker 1>more of a socialist country and all this other garbage.

615
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Probably a third at most. The other two thirds, No, they're.

616
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 1>They're sane, patriotic, good reasonable people, and so many have

617
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:43.759
<v Speaker 1>just grown up with this untrue, negative stereotype of Republicans.

618
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:46.640
<v Speaker 1>So those are the things we've got to overcome. It

619
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:50.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean they're some kind of heathens, you know. And

620
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 1>then part of the burdens on the GOP, you know,

621
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:54.799
<v Speaker 1>and I know we've got a tougher fight on the GOP.

622
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been part of both parties who've got an uphill

623
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>battle when you're GOP because the media is against you,

624
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.880
<v Speaker 1>makes it tougher to get the truth out there about

625
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats and the good truth about the Republicans.

626
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, we can't wind. We just have

627
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to find a way to win. We just have to

628
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 2>be better.

629
00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Dan, I read where the new pope is a staunch

630
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump hater. Those are not words I would choose. I

631
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>think that as a cardinal, and even before becoming a cardinal,

632
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:27.119
<v Speaker 1>now hoopefully on the fourteenth was hey.

633
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:29.359
<v Speaker 2>He tweeted a lot, and he was.

634
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Very direct and very plain spoken. Disagrees with certain things

635
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:38.079
<v Speaker 1>President Trump has done on immigration. He's just disagreed with JD.

636
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Vance on certain Catholic philosophies. So in that sense, yeah,

637
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:48.079
<v Speaker 1>is there an opposition on policy. I think there clearly is.

638
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.759
<v Speaker 1>But when it comes to now this new role as Pope,

639
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I would expect him to be I'd expect him to

640
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:02.960
<v Speaker 1>be very balanced and listen, I don't expect a president

641
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:07.039
<v Speaker 1>who I am really grateful for and I think has

642
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:12.200
<v Speaker 1>done some phenomenally tremendous things to always agree with the pope.

643
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:16.119
<v Speaker 1>And I certainly don't expect the Pope to tailor anything

644
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:21.799
<v Speaker 1>to politics, but I can admire most both well clearly

645
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:23.880
<v Speaker 1>come on in terms.

646
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Of in terms of priorities there.

647
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you talk about God and you talk

648
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>about eternity and you talk about my faith, my faith

649
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:38.599
<v Speaker 1>comes light years before my politics. My faith is exponentially

650
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.079
<v Speaker 1>more important to me than my politics. But I see

651
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:46.319
<v Speaker 1>both blending together very very well. As I think that

652
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:51.319
<v Speaker 1>President Trump and Pope Leo the fourteenth, I think will

653
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.319
<v Speaker 1>end up finding an awful lot of common ground. And

654
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I love the comments that President Trump had today about

655
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the Pope. All positive and all forward looking and all

656
00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:06.480
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to meeting the Pope. And you know, it

657
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:08.599
<v Speaker 1>was funny I read this one comment.

658
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 2>About when.

659
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Pope Leo the fourteenth visit the White House, not how

660
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:18.000
<v Speaker 1>it works. Popes don't visit the White House no matter

661
00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:20.280
<v Speaker 1>who the president is, which party they're from. If a

662
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.559
<v Speaker 1>president wants to meet the Pope, the president goes to

663
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.559
<v Speaker 1>the Vatican. And whether President Trump chooses to do that

664
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>or not, I sure hope he does. And again, I

665
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:33.320
<v Speaker 1>loved President Trump's comments today about the Pope, and I

666
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:36.159
<v Speaker 1>would bet you they they find a way to accomplish

667
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good things together, starting with starting with

668
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:48.119
<v Speaker 1>blessed are the peacemakers right? And on that absolutely vital,

669
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.280
<v Speaker 1>innocent human life issue. Trump is a peacemaker. He has

670
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:55.039
<v Speaker 1>proven that he approaches at peace through strength. He is

671
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a peacemaker. Popes are peacemakers. I have no doubt this

672
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Pope is going to be peacemaker. Then you come to

673
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:04.719
<v Speaker 1>innocent human life on a massive scale, like millions of

674
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:08.360
<v Speaker 1>innocent human lives that are routinely slaughtered by abortion.

675
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:10.480
<v Speaker 2>And Donald Trump has been.

676
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:13.719
<v Speaker 1>An absolute champion of the unborn, and there is no

677
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:16.880
<v Speaker 1>question this pope is a champion of the unborn. So

678
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:21.280
<v Speaker 1>on those two vital issues at the core of Catholic teaching,

679
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I think there is going to be nothing but common

680
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:27.760
<v Speaker 1>ground when it comes to the Pope and President Trump.
