Speaker 1: This is Dan Capless and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of the Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's heidiganoll here in for Dan Caples. It's
Speaker 3: five o'clock on a Monday, Monday, Monday. It's going to
Speaker 3: be a crazy week as usual. As I said in
Speaker 3: the beginning, Ryan, every day is like Christmas with all
Speaker 3: the stuff rolling out from Trump.
Speaker 4: For those of us that are on that side.
Speaker 5: Merry Christmas, everyone, Merry Christmas, God bless us everyone.
Speaker 4: Jeez.
Speaker 3: If you'd like to call in and chat about we
Speaker 3: were talking about the Republican Party and in this opt
Speaker 3: out situation called three oh three seven one three eight
Speaker 3: two five five, or you can text five seven seven
Speaker 3: three nine to Dan and I.
Speaker 4: Will see the message.
Speaker 3: And we're talking about the difference between a semi open
Speaker 3: primary where on a phil can vote in the primary
Speaker 3: like they do now, and we also have a caucus
Speaker 3: process so you can get on the ballot in various
Speaker 3: ways to go up against the Democrats. If you're a
Speaker 3: Republican and then the opt out of the primary completely,
Speaker 3: where we'll opt out of how we do it now
Speaker 3: and not have petitioning on and it'll be very different
Speaker 3: caucus process and candidates will have to go through the
Speaker 3: caucus to an assembly and only one person will come
Speaker 3: out of it.
Speaker 4: And that's potentially what the.
Speaker 3: New chair will decide if we're going to vote on
Speaker 3: which would affect the twenty twenty six elections.
Speaker 4: So we're going to go to Ken and Aurora. Who
Speaker 4: has a comment on this?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 6: Ken, how are you okay? I didn't really understand this
Speaker 6: court case. I got to the program late. But the
Speaker 6: whole thing it kind of sounds like a tax form.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Yes, that is a great analogy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, and so but anyway might say, is
Speaker 6: you know a couple of comments on the party. I
Speaker 6: heard that there was just a convicted felon that's running it,
Speaker 6: and I'm thinking, well, if he's anything like Trump, he's
Speaker 6: my guy.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, not the state GOP. I think you're referencing
Speaker 4: one of the counties.
Speaker 6: But yeah, oh yes, Jeff go I think, yeah, But
Speaker 6: by the way, do you know what he's a felon from?
Speaker 6: Do you know what he did. I mean, it's got
Speaker 6: to be more than parking tickets.
Speaker 4: I know part of the story.
Speaker 3: I don't know the details you can probably google and
Speaker 3: figure out. But Rich Rich has a very different side
Speaker 3: of the story, the one who is the new Rich White,
Speaker 3: who's the new Jefferson County Chair. So I would suggest
Speaker 3: you give Rich a call and let him explain, because
Speaker 3: obviously he explained it well enough that he got elected
Speaker 3: chair of Jefferson County. But I think, you know, on
Speaker 3: the state GOP, what's your take there, what do you
Speaker 3: think is going to happen?
Speaker 6: You know, I don't know. But my thing is the
Speaker 6: Republican Party. I've heard time and again they know how
Speaker 6: to do nothing but lose. Now, granted we're surrounded by Democrats,
Speaker 6: but so was Trump, which proves you can be victorious
Speaker 6: even when things seem bad. And my comment to any
Speaker 6: Republican in the state, be it county, state or if
Speaker 6: they want to represent us in Congress, I want you
Speaker 6: to win. You know, It's pretty simple. It's like I
Speaker 6: saw this Super Bowl once and the coach is like
Speaker 6: he just told his guys, like at halftime, he goes
Speaker 6: go out there and just win, you know, emphatically, And
Speaker 6: I don't know what it is that they get in
Speaker 6: their own way. If the fix is in, honestly, they
Speaker 6: should be in my opinion, and I don't know the
Speaker 6: ins and outs, but it's shameful. This state used to
Speaker 6: be red. We shifted over to purple and then blue.
Speaker 6: It is and that can and will be ultimately the
Speaker 6: destruction of any economy and society. The chases that thing
Speaker 6: too far?
Speaker 4: Got it?
Speaker 6: I mean, does that sound too radical?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I think what you're saying is you just want to win,
Speaker 3: You want to do well. You want the old Colorado back,
Speaker 3: the wild West that we all grew.
Speaker 4: Up with that we miss And a lot.
Speaker 3: Of it has to do with the four billionaires that
Speaker 3: got together and invested in turning the state around, one
Speaker 3: of which was Jared Poulis. It's called the Blueprint. So
Speaker 3: you know, I think there's a lot of headwinds, there's
Speaker 3: a lot of things against us, but there's a lot
Speaker 3: of ways to win too, And that's why I was
Speaker 3: trying to lay out the numbers in the first part
Speaker 3: of this the show, where we talk about the number
Speaker 3: of unaffiliated voters, we talk about how many we need
Speaker 3: to bring over to vote for.
Speaker 4: Us in order to win statewide.
Speaker 3: And that's the big discussion going on in the party
Speaker 3: right now, like how do we change the way we
Speaker 3: get candidates up against the Democrats or do we change
Speaker 3: it in order to win elections again, So thanks for
Speaker 3: your comments, Ken, I really appreciate it. I'm going to
Speaker 3: read a comment because this is a valid point that
Speaker 3: I need to clarify. So she says, can how do
Speaker 3: you please clarify her statement about only a few thousand
Speaker 3: Republicans getting to decide in the caucus system. It starts
Speaker 3: at the precinct level, moves to the county and district levels,
Speaker 3: then to the state level, and then to the national level.
Speaker 3: Every registered Republican has the ability to weigh in on
Speaker 3: the candidate, So the statement needs a little more explanation.
Speaker 3: I agree with you if it's done in the same
Speaker 3: way it's done now, where you run for precinct chair
Speaker 3: or district captain, and then we elect bonus members and
Speaker 3: the heads of our county parties. But I don't think
Speaker 3: it's clear yet how this is going to work. I
Speaker 3: don't think I haven't heard an explanation of how this
Speaker 3: is going to work. If there's one assembly that decides
Speaker 3: where all the candidates are. I've heard they're going to
Speaker 3: open it up to many more people. I've heard they
Speaker 3: might limit it. I've heard all kinds of things. So
Speaker 3: as it stands right now, if you go through the
Speaker 3: caucus process, yes, you elect your precinc person, which very
Speaker 3: few people do that, or get involved. That's why I
Speaker 3: like to tell people, be the leader in your neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Go get involved as a precinct leader or help at
Speaker 3: the precinct level, and that allows you to have a
Speaker 3: say and who is going to represent you and decide
Speaker 3: who the candidates are. But right now, so few people
Speaker 3: are involved in that process. It concerns me. So that's
Speaker 3: where I was coming from. The Other thing is this
Speaker 3: is very very expensive. If all of a sudden we
Speaker 3: are going to host assemblies all over the state for
Speaker 3: our counties and for the big ones the state wides.
Speaker 3: I want to understand how we're going to pay for
Speaker 3: this too as a party. So those two things I
Speaker 3: need to understand better, how it's tactically going to work,
Speaker 3: and how we're going to pay for it. Let's go
Speaker 3: to Steve and Arvada, who also has a comment on
Speaker 3: the open primary.
Speaker 4: Steve, Welcome to the show. This is heidiganal Hie.
Speaker 7: I was just going to say, back when they change
Speaker 7: the election to allow in the pans to vote in
Speaker 7: the primaries, I've been so tired of the Republican Party.
Speaker 7: I changed to independent thinking.
Speaker 6: That I could do one of two things.
Speaker 7: Let them get the hint supposedly, and then also be
Speaker 7: able to vote for the least likely Democrat to win
Speaker 7: so in the primary.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I've heard a lot about that, And when
Speaker 3: I was running for governor, we did a lot of
Speaker 3: digging to try and figure out if that was a
Speaker 3: real thing or not, and we decided it really wasn't
Speaker 3: like not a lot of people were taking going to
Speaker 3: the effort like you did to vote like to actually
Speaker 3: or not like you did, because some people actually change
Speaker 3: parties in order to do that and mess with the
Speaker 3: other primary. I don't think that's a huge issue. But
Speaker 3: what did happen is the Polists and the Democrats spent
Speaker 3: three million dollars helping my opponent in the primary because
Speaker 3: they thought they had a better chance of beating that person.
Speaker 3: And so that was unfortunate. And that's playing in the primaries.
Speaker 3: So money plays a part in this too. So I
Speaker 3: think the end of the day, it's a decision about,
Speaker 3: you know, how do we bring in unaffiliated voters, but
Speaker 3: yet make a decision on who our candidate is as
Speaker 3: a party. And we've got to figure out those nuances
Speaker 3: and figure out how to navigate that.
Speaker 4: Steve, thanks for coming on and your comment. Let's go to.
Speaker 3: Kevin in Boulder. Kevin, what would you like to chat
Speaker 3: about today? This is how to get own.
Speaker 8: Well, I'm not calling about so maybe you don't want
Speaker 8: to hear what I have to say today.
Speaker 4: It's up It's up to you.
Speaker 8: Okay. Well, I'm calling about two things, chemtrails and the
Speaker 8: Federal Reserve. Now. I suspect that Trump maybe planning and
Speaker 8: doing things right now to go after the Federal Reserve
Speaker 8: and abolish it.
Speaker 9: But I don't know, can.
Speaker 4: I think, Kevin? I think we talked about this before
Speaker 4: when I was on once. Explain to people why okay,
Speaker 4: why okay?
Speaker 3: Just briefly, because we don't have a lot of time.
Speaker 3: We got to go to break in like one minute
Speaker 3: us the quick downlow in the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 8: Feder Reserve was created in nineteen thirteen in secret by
Speaker 8: the banks, the Big banks, and it was meant to
Speaker 8: take away our constitutional money and give the banks the
Speaker 8: ability to treat us and enslave us financially, which leads
Speaker 8: to enslavement in all kinds of things, including politics. An
Speaker 8: ounce of gold today buys the same amount of goods
Speaker 8: bought one hundred and fifty years ago. Gold standard value
Speaker 8: doesn't change. The amount of money you needed to buy
Speaker 8: the same things is increased. The Federal Reserve notes aren't
Speaker 8: worth as much, and the sole dictator of inflation is
Speaker 8: the banks, and they make it mandatory that you have
Speaker 8: to pay more in Federal Reserve notes than you would
Speaker 8: with an ounce of gold. It's enslavement and it's evil,
Speaker 8: and it's even outlawed by God in the Old Testament.
Speaker 8: We need every state has the constitutional ability to print
Speaker 8: or coin it its own money, and the states need
Speaker 8: to be doing that right now, so FED won't because
Speaker 8: we need to get rid of this Federal Reserve which
Speaker 8: has been around since nineteen thirteen and destroyed people's lives
Speaker 8: and killed people and cheated all of us out of
Speaker 8: our valued money. This is not money, this is counterfeit
Speaker 8: currency that the banks put out.
Speaker 4: All right, Kevin, we got to run to break.
Speaker 3: But that was a great lesson on the federal Reserve,
Speaker 3: and I'd like to learn a little bit more about
Speaker 3: it at some other point.
Speaker 4: I did hear that, Ryan, I don't know that you
Speaker 4: heard that.
Speaker 3: Elon and Trump are going to go tour Fort Knox
Speaker 3: to see our gold.
Speaker 5: Bring geraldo so we could see at the al Capone's Well.
Speaker 5: The only thing I'll say on Covin's behalf nineteen thirteen
Speaker 5: federal Reserve, it almost aligns perfectly with the institution of
Speaker 5: the federal income.
Speaker 10: Tax nineteen nine or so around the same time.
Speaker 3: And that as the money has spent so well on
Speaker 3: our behalf, isn't well?
Speaker 10: I know, I trust them trust the government to spend
Speaker 10: my money.
Speaker 4: You're so funny, funny guy today.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: Do you trust the Colorado government to spend your money?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, me?
Speaker 4: Neither me neither. That's what I mean.
Speaker 3: The government has grown so much in the last decade.
Speaker 3: I think our budget's gone from like twenty five twenty
Speaker 3: five billion to forty billion over the last you know,
Speaker 3: a couple of terms, and uh, it's it's done not
Speaker 3: much to help Colorado.
Speaker 4: So there's that. All right, Well, we are we are
Speaker 4: going to head to a break.
Speaker 3: This is Heidi get all filling in for Dan Kaplis,
Speaker 3: and I will wrap up around five point thirty and
Speaker 3: hand it off to Ryan, and I believe Dan will
Speaker 3: be in at that point.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll see you after the break, and.
Speaker 10: Now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 4: My show had value and that.
Speaker 11: I'm sorry that what I was doing I value and
Speaker 11: value and in the end, I'm sorry. I'm not trying
Speaker 11: not to cry on TV. And I say, this is
Speaker 11: kind of like me on TV. So I apologize, and
Speaker 11: then and then it kind of and then it mattered.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Ryan, liberal tears.
Speaker 10: They're delicious.
Speaker 1: They're delicious, They're very tasty.
Speaker 10: Her show mattered. It had value, Heidi.
Speaker 4: Then how come it's getting canceled.
Speaker 5: Terrible ratings and it was just constant race baiting hate
Speaker 5: from her?
Speaker 10: Oh you know she's from around here, right?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: I did not know that.
Speaker 10: Yes she is. Where where they look it up? Specifically?
Speaker 10: What I got to look it up?
Speaker 3: Hold on a second, it's all right, it's all right,
Speaker 3: I know I'll find it quick. I read that she
Speaker 3: doesn't feel guilty about going hard on issues like BLM
Speaker 3: Asian Americans targeted immigrants just trying to make a life,
Speaker 3: the immigrants just trying to make a life, like right
Speaker 3: here in a Laura, Colorado. Yeah, like trendar a trendate
Speaker 3: a ragwack. Yeah, goodness, gracious, it says here she.
Speaker 5: Was raised mostly in Denver, Colorado, until the age of seventeen. Wow,
Speaker 5: she moved to Flatbush, Brooklyn to live with an.
Speaker 4: Ent Well, New York rubbed off on her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, let me see, she was born in sixty eight,
Speaker 5: so she's fifty six, So until age seventeen, that would
Speaker 5: have been about nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 4: The best years.
Speaker 5: Well, that's right, so she should have remembered those years
Speaker 5: about her upbringing an experience living here in Colorado.
Speaker 10: But no, you're right she got tainted by Brooklyn and
Speaker 10: New York.
Speaker 9: I think I.
Speaker 3: Grew up in Monument, Colorado, just down the road by
Speaker 3: the Air Force Academy. And when I moved here when
Speaker 3: I was twelve, there were I mean, there were like
Speaker 3: ninety kids in my class, and I mean we did
Speaker 3: all the things like rode our bikes everywhere, stayed out,
Speaker 3: you know, like just like the typical eighties meme, you know,
Speaker 3: drank out of the water hose, and it was an
Speaker 3: amazing experience.
Speaker 4: I gotta give it to monument.
Speaker 5: And I got to I've just discovered this, and I don't know.
Speaker 5: I'm really late to the party, especially as a gen
Speaker 5: xer like you, Heidi, but stranger, thanks have you at.
Speaker 3: Yes, my daughter loves it. My freshman in high school. Yes,
Speaker 3: she was obsessed for a while. So I got to
Speaker 3: see quite a bit of it.
Speaker 5: See, I did the math on the characters, and so
Speaker 5: those that have seen it, you'll know. Those that haven't
Speaker 5: just bear with me, and oh, by the way, watch it.
Speaker 5: But Lucas's little sister, Erica, would be about my age,
Speaker 5: so she was younger than kind of the younger kids
Speaker 5: that were nerds, which would have been born about seventy one.
Speaker 5: And then the older kids that were driving around and
Speaker 5: doing the things in Nancy with the mystery solving and stuff,
Speaker 5: they were born about sixty eight.
Speaker 10: Yeah, seventy sixty eight, seventy one, and then I was
Speaker 10: born in seventy four.
Speaker 4: You're a pup. I was born in sixty six.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, you would be like kind of the older
Speaker 5: kids on that show that were driving and leading the
Speaker 5: charge on stuff, which I could see obviously.
Speaker 4: I love seeing the clothes.
Speaker 3: And you know what, I loved watching Cobra Kai during
Speaker 3: COVID because of all the car like the transams and like,
Speaker 3: oh the old school cars in all the eighties references
Speaker 3: the cool part too.
Speaker 5: My gen z niece Mila, who's now in eighth grade,
Speaker 5: watched Cobra Kai, then wanted to watch The Karate Kid
Speaker 5: like back from Our Day eighty four, and then developed
Speaker 5: a big crush on Ralph Maccio.
Speaker 4: Wait isn't he a little older?
Speaker 5: Well yeah, but she likes young Ralph Macchio and he's
Speaker 5: kind of frozen in time in The Karate Kid in
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3: So you know what we watched Sunday? Dad was yesterday
Speaker 3: my husband put on Goonies.
Speaker 10: Love it.
Speaker 4: I know it's a good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Sean Aston, I don't want to spoil anything, but
Speaker 5: he has a prominent role in season two.
Speaker 10: I believe it is of Stranger Things.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's accurate.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he was, of course of the lead and Goonies.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, what was your favorite eighties movie?
Speaker 9: Mine was?
Speaker 4: I think mine was Top Gun.
Speaker 10: Back of the Future is right up there.
Speaker 4: I just saw that at the Bule it was such
Speaker 4: a great play.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it was on Well you saw the
Speaker 5: stage of the theater versionage version, Yeah, Breakfast Club. I
Speaker 5: mean all those John Hughes movies from the eighties that
Speaker 5: weird science, love weird science. That's in that realm.
Speaker 4: That was that when they say he said give me
Speaker 4: the keys, Lisa, Yes, I.
Speaker 10: Gotta get Kelly on this conversation. She's of this generation
Speaker 10: as well.
Speaker 9: Kelley.
Speaker 12: Of course, eighties movie though everything John Hughes.
Speaker 10: Yeah, sure, of course.
Speaker 12: But I would have to say, well, this one was
Speaker 12: actually in the seventies, but Jaws is my favorite movie.
Speaker 4: Got Kelly. Why didn't I terrify you?
Speaker 12: It did and didn't, although I was convinced, like we
Speaker 12: used to play a game in California called Jaws and
Speaker 12: somebody was in the pool's Jaws and we would pull
Speaker 12: you would basically it was completely dark and somebody who
Speaker 12: was Jaws would pull you under and then you got out.
Speaker 4: So that is creepy.
Speaker 10: It was the eighties movie Veil give us your favorite.
Speaker 10: I know what it is. It's that one, right.
Speaker 3: I like top Gun No, No, no, not a Lotach
Speaker 3: the Beach.
Speaker 10: Real Genius, that's the one. Real genius, kind of a
Speaker 10: under the radar hit.
Speaker 3: It was yeah that I mean, there were so many
Speaker 3: Steelers day off.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, so much fun.
Speaker 4: That was more your years. Like I think that was
Speaker 4: passed a little bet.
Speaker 10: Yeah, maybe a little, but I remember it and I
Speaker 10: worshiped him.
Speaker 4: Do you remember America American Werewolf?
Speaker 5: Well, teen Wolf and American Werewolf in London was hilarious.
Speaker 11: Big.
Speaker 4: That was the scary movie that I liked. I thought
Speaker 4: that was really.
Speaker 5: Because there was a lot of humor involved in that too,
Speaker 5: so it made a little more palatable.
Speaker 3: And what about the Friday the thirteenth and Halloween and
Speaker 3: the horror movie genre in its peak and night Mary.
Speaker 10: And elm Street.
Speaker 4: Halloween scared me more than Josh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, walk into the dark closet where you know, the
Speaker 3: mass murgery you're yelling at the screen.
Speaker 10: I love it.
Speaker 4: It was great hanging out with you guys today. I'm
Speaker 4: sorry I have to take off a little early.
Speaker 3: But I hope you have a wonderful week. This is
Speaker 3: hiding and All handing it off to Ryan and Dan.
Speaker 3: We'll be in just a few minutes.
Speaker 4: Have a wonderful week everyone.
Speaker 10: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Wow, Happy Monday everybody. Thank you to Heidi Ganall for
Speaker 1: doing the show today. I've been in a Catholic Charities
Speaker 1: board meeting and so joining you a little bit late,
Speaker 1: but so much to talk about.
Speaker 9: Ryan, why don't we come right out of.
Speaker 1: The gate with Governor Polis on weather biological mouse. So
Speaker 1: let's just say mouse, Okay, just save everybody sometime should
Speaker 1: participate in girls' sports cut thirteen.
Speaker 13: Please, as governors, we've our prior initiative that we continue
Speaker 13: our work on it to disagree better. We always hope
Speaker 13: that people can disagree in a way that elevates the
Speaker 13: discourse and tries to come to a common solution around
Speaker 13: around what the issue is.
Speaker 9: I don't think that that disagreement was necessarily.
Speaker 10: A model of that.
Speaker 9: I don't think a lot of us went.
Speaker 10: In really even aware of what the conflict was about.
Speaker 13: But look, if there's a conflict there, I encourage everybody
Speaker 13: to get together and work it out. Obviously, one way
Speaker 13: to do that is through the courts if it comes
Speaker 13: to that, but if there's other ways to understand where
Speaker 13: folks are coming from, I would encourage everybody to do that.
Speaker 9: What a leader profiles Encourage right Volume two.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, No, no, no, no, no no. The
Speaker 1: goal isn't to disagree better. The goal is to agree
Speaker 1: on the things you should agree on. And any seene
Speaker 1: person should agree that males should not play girls sports
Speaker 1: and so pull us. And you know these Colorado Democrats, Ryan,
Speaker 1: they wonder why they can never get any tracks. And
Speaker 1: once they get outside of the love bubble in Colorado, right,
Speaker 1: this bubble of protection that these Democrats, whether it's Polis
Speaker 1: or Hickenlooper or Bennett, that they build with the media, right,
Speaker 1: because they'll cut off access if the media don't protect them.
Speaker 1: And then they get outside that bubble and wonder why
Speaker 1: they don't go anywhere.
Speaker 9: Well, who would vote for that?
Speaker 1: I mean, your last name could be Pollss and you
Speaker 1: wouldn't vote for that, because you know, you embarrass yourself
Speaker 1: if you vote for that, because there's no leadership. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people vote for people they disagree
Speaker 1: with on big issues because they respect the fact that
Speaker 1: person has the courage of their own convictions.
Speaker 9: Will tell you what they really.
Speaker 1: Believe, and we'll show you the respect of telling you
Speaker 1: they disagree.
Speaker 9: With you and why. But who would vote for that?
Speaker 9: You'd rather vote for the couch.
Speaker 5: Well, it's just such like you said, Dan, it's a
Speaker 5: mealy mouthed answer on an eighty twent'th.
Speaker 9: An insult to Millie Mouse.
Speaker 5: Well, here, Martina Navratalova is a hard leftist, lives here,
Speaker 5: Dan in Colorado. I might add, I've been trying to
Speaker 5: get her on your show, and mind it's a work
Speaker 5: in progress. But nevertheless, she's sides with JK Rowling, with gays,
Speaker 5: against groomers, with preventing biological males from entering female sports
Speaker 5: and spaces, Martina and Arbertilova. So she's taken that stand,
Speaker 5: but Jared Polus can't.
Speaker 1: Well, and again, here's the thing. If Polus wanted to
Speaker 1: come out and just say directly, because it's the way
Speaker 1: he's ruled and governed, right, just say it directly, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think males should be able to participate in girls' sports.
Speaker 9: And here's why.
Speaker 1: Well, he's going to be on the wrong side of
Speaker 1: it for eighty percent of the people, but at least
Speaker 1: some people.
Speaker 9: Could respect him from making his case correct.
Speaker 1: But this kind of garbage, No nobody wants any of that.
Speaker 1: But of course we all know the reason he won't
Speaker 1: come out and try and make the case because it's
Speaker 1: an indefensible, unmakable case, and he apparently still harbors these
Speaker 1: delusions of being president. And the truth is, I still
Speaker 1: hope to be quarterback for the Broncos next year. I
Speaker 1: don't tell Bo Nicks because I think our law firm
Speaker 1: sponsors his show and that could be a.
Speaker 9: Bit of a conflict.
Speaker 1: Yes, but you could see it, right, I mean, which
Speaker 1: could you see more easily, Polis's president or me qb one.
Speaker 5: I think you just as like a charity event, getting
Speaker 5: to play for one play has a better chance of
Speaker 5: happening than Polis ever becoming president.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but wow, So thank you for that sound.
Speaker 1: That is a gift today because again I do think
Speaker 1: there's a shot in Colorado. There's a shot to get
Speaker 1: the governor's office. There's a shot to knock off Hickenlooper
Speaker 1: or whoever ends up, and that maybe Polis who pushes
Speaker 1: Hickenlooper out and runs for that. But there's a shot,
Speaker 1: and you'd have to do what Trump did, and it's
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, and you'd have to use
Speaker 1: this as a lead issue, and people say, oh, the
Speaker 1: lead issues, they have to be economic. They have to
Speaker 1: be bread and butter. Yeah, bread and butter count, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. But it's always been Ryan, I think,
Speaker 1: and you know this as a blue collar guy like me,
Speaker 1: it's been a.
Speaker 9: Fundamental misunderstanding of working people.
Speaker 1: That because we may have less money than some other people,
Speaker 1: that all we care about is money. And that is
Speaker 1: a fundamental, arrogant, elitest, disparaging way to look at working people.
Speaker 1: I grew up in the greatest family a kid could
Speaker 1: ever grow up, and we were the richest people in
Speaker 1: the world. My dad was a Chicago cop, my mom
Speaker 1: stayed home with us. But in all the ways that matter,
Speaker 1: we were the richest people in the world. We didn't
Speaker 1: sit around and you didn't sit around Ryan and Michigan.
Speaker 1: You didn't sit around envious of people who had more money.
Speaker 1: You just you wanted your fair shot. And if you
Speaker 1: made money a priority, you wanted a fair shot to
Speaker 1: go make your money. And so, no, it's about the
Speaker 1: things that matter most. It's about you know, the core
Speaker 1: values and principle and morality and family and all that.
Speaker 1: So Trump led with and in the end may very
Speaker 1: well have won on this whole idea that no, you
Speaker 1: cannot have men in women's sports. You can't have men
Speaker 1: in women's safe places, and anybody who says you can.
Speaker 9: There are two nuts to be in office on any issue.
Speaker 1: And that's the same thing Colorado candidates for governor and
Speaker 1: Senate need to do. They need to press the hell
Speaker 1: out of it, stick it in the face of the
Speaker 1: Democrat at every turn, every event, every debate, everywhere.
Speaker 10: It's just such a slam dunk.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 5: I mean, if let's say you were to debate Polis
Speaker 5: on this issue, it goes to your earlier point. Even
Speaker 5: those on a far lunatic fringe left, you would express
Speaker 5: a very clear, concise, direct opinion on whether or not
Speaker 5: males of any kind of any background originally born that
Speaker 5: way should participate in female sports, and you would say no,
Speaker 5: and they want all okay.
Speaker 10: At least we know where Dan stands. Polis's answer right there.
Speaker 5: I don't think that's satisfying to the hard left either,
Speaker 5: So he's winning anybody over.
Speaker 1: And don't have to go way beyond the debates, because
Speaker 1: the Democrats only agree to debate now with Democrat moderators
Speaker 1: who then protect them in debates. So we'd have to
Speaker 1: go way beyond the debates. You'd have to raise the
Speaker 1: money to be like Trump did with Musk money, pounding
Speaker 1: the Democrats on TV. Colorado is still small enough you
Speaker 1: can go retail. You'd have to pound them in every group, everywhere.
Speaker 9: And it's not the only issue you do.
Speaker 1: But it's one of those issues that just forces the
Speaker 1: mask to drop. It reveals who these Democrats really are.
Speaker 1: And they will never break with it, right. They will
Speaker 1: never take the position that, oh, no, girls' sports and
Speaker 1: locker rooms and showers and bathrooms should only be limited
Speaker 1: to girls. They will never ever take that position.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 10: And they're checkmate it on the chessboard because of it.
Speaker 5: And that's not the only issue that that's the case,
Speaker 5: Dan as I have on your sheet, and maybe we'll
Speaker 5: get to this when we come back. James Carville is saying,
Speaker 5: point blank, you guys are better off just staying silent,
Speaker 5: playing possum, staying out of the news and not even
Speaker 5: uttering a word, and letting the Republicans counting on Republicans
Speaker 5: and the Trump administration to destroy themselves, rather than having
Speaker 5: anything on offense as an issue.
Speaker 9: Well, you must mean cut sick. Yes, let's play cut SIGs.
Speaker 2: But what I've said very publiclyid Democrats need to play possum.
Speaker 9: This whole thing is collapsing.
Speaker 2: It doesn't need Elizabeth Warren and somebody's screaming to pacify
Speaker 2: some progressive adversing groups in Washington, which, by the way,
Speaker 2: I wish these people were just useless.
Speaker 9: They're actually worse than useless.
Speaker 2: That they're detrimental and they never ever learned to shut up.
Speaker 1: Now I love listening to James Carville. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how wrong he is. Do you think he's doing dope?
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a disparaging kind of way.
Speaker 1: It's you know, but I really wonder and it's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons I love watching guys. So this whole
Speaker 1: thing's collapsing, right, James. Yeah. And so let me get
Speaker 1: this straight. This Trump presidency, which is by almost every
Speaker 1: metric on a role right now, is about to collapse.
Speaker 1: When it didn't collapse the first time around when he
Speaker 1: was up against the coup attempt, up against all of
Speaker 1: that other garbage, when he was up against COVID, it
Speaker 1: didn't collapse. Then he lost a very very very very narrow,
Speaker 1: razor thin race, but it never collapsed. Now he is
Speaker 1: multiples better has a multiples better team, is off to
Speaker 1: a tremendous start, is admired and respected around the world
Speaker 1: for lots of reasons, and including how he handled the
Speaker 1: assassination attempt. And so now he's going to collapse. Here's
Speaker 1: what we've got, Ryan, right, And you and I see
Speaker 1: it all the time, you know, it's it's called camera horse.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean it in a bad way with
Speaker 1: Carville because I love watching him and he just helps
Speaker 1: turn more people to conservatism and he's interesting.
Speaker 9: Right, But James Carvill, how old is the guy?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 9: I mean he and Moses have.
Speaker 1: Got to be neck and neck, right, So you got
Speaker 1: you got Carvil's right.
Speaker 9: Now, he's like Madonna.
Speaker 1: As she turned forty five, you know, willing to do
Speaker 1: anything to be in the public eye and taking off
Speaker 1: all the clothes that no longer gets attention for either
Speaker 1: Madonna or Carville. So now they got to light their
Speaker 1: hair on fire and run around naked. And yeah, he
Speaker 1: took power to him.
Speaker 10: He just turned eighty in October.
Speaker 9: Madonna or Carvill?
Speaker 10: Hey, no Carvel, oh Carvil?
Speaker 9: Okay, Now I was serious about Madonna. D A N
Speaker 9: five seven seven three ninety.
Speaker 10: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 11: My show had valued and that.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry that what I was doing.
Speaker 11: Value and value and in the end, I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 11: not I trying not to cry on on TV, and
Speaker 11: I say, this is kind of like me on TV.
Speaker 11: So I apologize and then and then it kind of
Speaker 11: and then it mattered.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going to make fun of her
Speaker 1: for crying about the end of her show. I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: I shed a tear when Capitalists and Silverman ended after
Speaker 1: seven or eight great years, whatever it was, because you know,
Speaker 1: you put your heart and soul into a show. The
Speaker 1: difference is our show had value. It did a lot
Speaker 1: of great things in those seven or eight years, and
Speaker 1: a lot of great things for the community. Her show
Speaker 1: was toxic, you know her. It is great for America
Speaker 1: that her show has gone, because I don't care what
Speaker 1: color the host is, white, black, some other color. If
Speaker 1: your show revolves around being racially divisive, it shouldn't be
Speaker 1: on air. I mean, you know, you shouldn't be on
Speaker 1: the I mean, you have a write of freedom of speech.
Speaker 1: That's not my point, but there's no value in that
Speaker 1: other than exposing how we should not be.
Speaker 9: And I didn't watch her sho much.
Speaker 1: I'm sure she occasionally did a useful segment, but overall,
Speaker 1: what was she known for. She was known for that
Speaker 1: racial toxicity, you know, and so you got anybody regardless
Speaker 1: of color, when that's their stick. No, it speaks well
Speaker 1: of America that there is not a market for that
Speaker 1: eight five five for zero five A two five five
Speaker 1: the number techs d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: So weird to do a half an hour Hudi Ganah
Speaker 1: was great to do most of the show today. I
Speaker 1: was in a Catholic Charities board meeting, so I've got
Speaker 1: the last half hour. Ryan, there's something to these half
Speaker 1: hour shows. I hope the listeners wouldn't agree with that, but.
Speaker 10: It's literally a dead sprint for you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it cuts down on the prep, that's for darn sure.
Speaker 1: Now, So is this right that because you have to
Speaker 1: be outside of his wife, the biggest DeSantis fan in America?
Speaker 9: Is he really not.
Speaker 1: Supporting Byron Donalds, who I think is a superstar for
Speaker 1: governor in Florida because his wife may run.
Speaker 9: Is that right?
Speaker 5: I didn't know the latter part of that, but he
Speaker 5: made a very big point about saying that, Hey, Iron
Speaker 5: Donalds didn't help do anything down here in Florida while
Speaker 5: we were making things happen over the eight years he
Speaker 5: was governor.
Speaker 1: Wow, well, yeah, that means his wife's running, really think,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, wow.
Speaker 5: I mean Casey, she's got a lot of the Q
Speaker 5: score factor. You know, she's been on television. She's got
Speaker 5: that presence. You know, some might say the same for
Speaker 5: an amy kaplis potentially making a run like that too.
Speaker 9: Oh my lord, are you kidding me? I can't even
Speaker 9: get her on air? Did I tell you once that
Speaker 9: I can't remember which of.
Speaker 1: The big but when satellite radio was huge that they
Speaker 1: approached us about doing a show.
Speaker 9: Together, that would have been incredible.
Speaker 10: Chance zero Because she didn't want to do it.
Speaker 1: She could have done it, I mean I oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yes, yet he had been a superstar.
Speaker 9: This political stuff, no appetite for it.
Speaker 1: If I earned it up in that arena, she'd be
Speaker 1: a good wife and she would do the things that
Speaker 1: we all do for spouses, right, whether we like to
Speaker 1: or not. But not that that is not her arena,
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 11: Not.
Speaker 1: In fact, one of the great joys for her in
Speaker 1: leaving TV. She loved the people she worked with. She
Speaker 1: was at the top of her game, had a lot
Speaker 1: of great offers, could have gone national, but she just
Speaker 1: loved no longer being in the spotlight.
Speaker 9: She loves people.
Speaker 1: People still come up to her king soupers or whatever
Speaker 1: when they're not striking. You know, she loves people. But
Speaker 1: just yeah, just very happy to lead a nice private life.
Speaker 5: Do you think a Casey DeSantis would stand a chance
Speaker 5: of winning the nomination? I think there's a lot of
Speaker 5: even though that Ron Desantless loved sixty forty, isn't there
Speaker 5: some level of fatigue because you talk about this with
Speaker 5: Donald Junior?
Speaker 10: Two?
Speaker 1: Let me put it this way, Casey DeSantis will have
Speaker 1: a lot better chance than Marlon will in Colorado or
Speaker 1: would in.
Speaker 9: Colorado fair if he was so interested.
Speaker 1: No, listen, I mean just you know, for Governor DeSantis
Speaker 1: to go that hard after Donald's when Donald's I think
Speaker 1: is a star. That tells me Casey DeSantis must be
Speaker 1: very interesting or DeSantis has somebody else. But that brings
Speaker 1: us back to that brings us back to Junior right right,
Speaker 1: and the sea PEC poll over the weekend, and what
Speaker 1: I've been saying all along, If Junior wants it. He's
Speaker 1: probably going to be the nominee or at least have
Speaker 1: the inside track. I wonder if there's something in the
Speaker 1: works where he would be jd Vance's VP.
Speaker 10: Could be. Could but
