Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis 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. Yeah, in the
Speaker 1: American way is truth. And right now, the left blatantly line,
Speaker 1: the left in Colorado blatantly lined the people of Colorado,
Speaker 1: and the people of Colorado are not going to buy
Speaker 1: it now. Some will. Right The question for you is
Speaker 1: will it be enough for the left to hold on
Speaker 1: to power here. Obviously there's a major, i say permanent
Speaker 1: shift that's just occurred in America unlike maybe anything we've
Speaker 1: seen in our lifetime, and that is the shift against
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. And you know, the left to just beat
Speaker 1: it into people, and you would be canceled and labeled
Speaker 1: a racist and all sorts of things, horrible things that'd
Speaker 1: be done to you if you just stood up and said,
Speaker 1: wait a second, you should be legal to be in
Speaker 1: this country. There's no way we can justify any American
Speaker 1: evident crime committed against them, losing their life on the
Speaker 1: roadway to somebody who shouldn't even be in the country,
Speaker 1: and so it had been beat into the people of
Speaker 1: Colorado in America that no, this is the new normal
Speaker 1: and you're gonna like it. And now that has changed
Speaker 1: in a matter of days. It's a big reason President
Speaker 1: Trump won and now he's delivering. But here's the key,
Speaker 1: it's it's talk is cheap. Right now people can see results.
Speaker 1: When they see forty or fifty fifty TDA rounded up
Speaker 1: in Adams County and being deported taken out of Colorado,
Speaker 1: they know their state just got safer. That's real. Who
Speaker 1: in the right mind would want to go back. So
Speaker 1: we're just talking about that now, as Polis and other
Speaker 1: on the left, others on the left try to rewrite
Speaker 1: history and claim that no, they have favored all along,
Speaker 1: deporting those here illegally who committed other crimes, when in
Speaker 1: fact it's star At Polis who is the provable father,
Speaker 1: the provable father of sanctuary state in Colorado. He signed
Speaker 1: eleven twenty four. I even pulled it up today to
Speaker 1: look at the signature. He signed it with this big
Speaker 1: old flourish, and it ended a core safety practice that
Speaker 1: had been in Colorado for a long time and is
Speaker 1: in forty one other states. In America. We just don't
Speaker 1: have the benefit of it because Jared Polis and Mike
Speaker 1: Johnston and the Colorado left don't care about your life.
Speaker 1: They don't care about your wife, they don't care about
Speaker 1: your children. Their priority is people here illegally who are
Speaker 1: committing other crimes. That's why Polis signed this bill that
Speaker 1: ended the practice, prohibited Colorado law enforcement from doing what
Speaker 1: had been done forever and forty one other states are
Speaker 1: still doing, which is, hey, I sends you a note
Speaker 1: called a detainer notice saying we see you have a
Speaker 1: dangerous criminal in your jails. Hold on to them. We're
Speaker 1: going to come and get them in the next forty
Speaker 1: eight hours. And it had been the practice makes common sense, right,
Speaker 1: protect the people at Colorado, cooperate with the Feds and
Speaker 1: get those people out of Colorado. And Polish prohibited law
Speaker 1: enforcement from doing that anymore. How many dead bodies, how
Speaker 1: many raped women, how many abused children do we have
Speaker 1: because of what Jared Polis decided to do. But now
Speaker 1: he wants everybody to believe he's Tom Homan. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an amazing moment we're living through. And what point
Speaker 1: is this Polis taking the knee bending the knee and
Speaker 1: now claiming that that own, Oh no, he's always favored.
Speaker 1: Reading Colorado of criminal illegals is just proof that this
Speaker 1: is permanent. Right. And politicians now who tried to do
Speaker 1: what Democrats have already done, they're going to get steamrolled.
Speaker 1: Not everywhere it once, but they're going to get steamrolled.
Speaker 1: And eventually they'll even get steamrolled in these blue bastions.
Speaker 1: And how quickly will that happen in Colorado? Would love
Speaker 1: your take eight f five for zero five E two
Speaker 1: five to five text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: We have some really fun sound. Now, lawless Mike Johnston,
Speaker 1: remember who openly promised to use the Denver police to
Speaker 1: send him to the border to stop federal law enforcement
Speaker 1: from enforcing federal law. Rally tens of thousands of Colorado
Speaker 1: to stop law enforcement. Yeah, he's been called to Congress
Speaker 1: and he's got to go up there now and explain
Speaker 1: why under him, Denver is a sanctuary city. And sanctuary
Speaker 1: is a nice word for lawless, because sanctuary means we
Speaker 1: aren't going to enforce the law. So Mike Johnson has
Speaker 1: to explain to Congress how he justifies not enforcing law. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that should be a lot of fun to watch. So
Speaker 1: we have all that to look forward to. Tremendous sound
Speaker 1: from Trump's new press secretary. I want to get to
Speaker 1: some of that now for you, Caroline Levitt. She was
Speaker 1: so impressive today, And even if we had not just
Speaker 1: ended an era of had to be one of the
Speaker 1: worst press secretaries ever, I think she would still appear
Speaker 1: to be just historically great. And I love the fact,
Speaker 1: obviously as a Christian Cathay Christian, I love the fact
Speaker 1: she has the big cross right there, full display. I
Speaker 1: think that's a beautiful thing. But how soon before, how
Speaker 1: long before somebody tries to sue over that right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they will lose that lawsuit. She doesn't forfeit, by
Speaker 1: the way, her First Amendment right freedom of religion, because
Speaker 1: she takes this particular job. But anyway, I want you
Speaker 1: to get a taste of her today because she just
Speaker 1: was I think, so good, and like so much else
Speaker 1: in the Trump administration, it's the substance it's going to
Speaker 1: matter most, right, But it's going to be so much
Speaker 1: fun to watch the performance, to watch the humor, to
Speaker 1: watch the competence, to watch the toughness, because you need
Speaker 1: fighters and this is going to be one of the
Speaker 1: lasting gifts to the GOP in Americas, turning the GOP
Speaker 1: from a bunch of not all but an awful lot
Speaker 1: of kind of softies Wimbledon rule types to Yeah, no, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna fight. We're gonna fight for we believe, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna fight hard. We're going to be honest. Listen,
Speaker 1: when I say fight, that never justifies lying. No, and
Speaker 1: that's not how you win. That's what the Left does.
Speaker 1: When I say fight, I mean fight hard, and you
Speaker 1: do the hard work, and you tell the truth and
Speaker 1: you expose the liars, and you persuade people. But fight,
Speaker 1: and she's going to be a fighter.
Speaker 2: A question that we'd asked your predecessors of both parties
Speaker 2: in this job. When you're up here in this briefing
Speaker 2: room speaking to the American public, you view yourself and
Speaker 2: your role as speaking on advocating on behalf of the president,
Speaker 2: or providing the unfurnished truth that is not to lie,
Speaker 2: not to obfuscate to.
Speaker 1: The America people. Yeah, her response a question. Let we've
Speaker 1: asked you your predecessors of those It was such an
Speaker 1: interesting question, we just we decided to play it twice
Speaker 1: I did anyway.
Speaker 3: I commit to telling the truth from this podium every
Speaker 3: single day. I commit to speaking on behalf of the
Speaker 3: President of the United States.
Speaker 4: That is my job.
Speaker 3: And I will say it's very easy to speak truth
Speaker 3: from this podium when you have a president who is
Speaker 3: implementing policies that are wildly popular with the American people.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what this administration is doing. It's correcting
Speaker 3: the lies and the wrongs of the past four years,
Speaker 3: many of the lies that have been told to your
Speaker 3: faces in this very briefing room.
Speaker 4: I will not do that.
Speaker 3: But since you brought up truth seek, I would like
Speaker 3: to point out while I vow to provide the truth
Speaker 3: from this podium, we ask that all of you in
Speaker 3: this room hold yourselves to that same standard.
Speaker 4: We know for a fact there have been lies.
Speaker 3: That have been pushed by many legacy media outlets in
Speaker 3: this country about this president, about his family, and we
Speaker 3: will not accept that. We will call you out when
Speaker 3: we feel that your reporting is wrong or there is
Speaker 3: misinformation about this White House. So yes, I will hold
Speaker 3: myself to the truth, and I expect everyone in this
Speaker 3: room to.
Speaker 4: Do the same.
Speaker 1: Love it, absolutely, love it effect. She's this good on
Speaker 1: the first day, when you would think it would take
Speaker 1: a little while to sort of settle in there. Now
Speaker 1: from the jump, can.
Speaker 3: You just tell us the numbers how many have a
Speaker 3: criminal record versus those who are just in the country illegally,
Speaker 3: all of them because they illegally broke our nation's laws,
Speaker 3: and therefore they are criminals as far as this administration goes.
Speaker 3: I know the last administration didn't see it that way.
Speaker 3: So it's a big culture shift in our nation to
Speaker 3: view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal.
Speaker 4: But that's exactly what they are.
Speaker 1: And where do you think that Trump administration will go
Speaker 1: from here? When it comes to the deportations. Obviously, even
Speaker 1: the lefty media polls have a majority of the Americans
Speaker 1: supporting deporting everybody. The administration said that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: We know they're starting with criminal legals and there are
Speaker 1: so many that could go on for years. Right then,
Speaker 1: beyond that, they've said they'll deport those who the courts
Speaker 1: have already said have to leave and have not left.
Speaker 1: And then do you think they'll go beyond that? Here's
Speaker 1: some more from Caroline Levitt.
Speaker 4: I think this is a very responsible measure again.
Speaker 3: The past four years, we've seen the bidened administration spend
Speaker 3: money like drunken sailors. It's a big reason we've had
Speaker 3: an inflation crisis in this country, and it's incumbent upon
Speaker 3: this administration to make sure again that every penny is
Speaker 3: being accounted for.
Speaker 1: Honestly, boy, she is so good what she's referring to now.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean to get in the weeds, especially
Speaker 1: when you're driving. But what she's referring to now is
Speaker 1: this freeze that you're hearing about, where Trump is ordered
Speaker 1: to freeze on lots of federal spending. Some say it
Speaker 1: would encompass trillions. There are arguments over that, but here's
Speaker 1: the point. The Trump administration knew when it handed down
Speaker 1: this order that it would likely be blocked by a court.
Speaker 1: I believe what the Trump administration is trying to do,
Speaker 1: like they're trying to do with birthright citizenship, that they
Speaker 1: knew would be blocked by a court. They're trying to
Speaker 1: get it to the Supreme Court quickly. I think this
Speaker 1: strategy is just part of this very carefully thought out,
Speaker 1: a very well organized, focus sophisticated effort legally to get
Speaker 1: these big ticket items before the US Supreme Court in
Speaker 1: a hurry because the Trump administration is supremely confident. I
Speaker 1: am too, they're going to win on birthright citizenship. That's
Speaker 1: obviously not what the drafters of the fourteenth intended. And hear,
Speaker 1: what they're trying to win on is a claim that
Speaker 1: even though Congress has the power of the purse, that
Speaker 1: the president doesn't have to spend all the money allocated
Speaker 1: if a president believes he can do it for less.
Speaker 1: And that's the legal principle they want to establish with
Speaker 1: the Supremes eight five or zero five A two five
Speaker 1: five of the number when we come back, lots of
Speaker 1: fun sounds, some more of Caroline Levitt just killing it interesting,
Speaker 1: John Fetterman sound, and they want to get back to
Speaker 1: the local stuff where even Kyle Clark is grilling Polus
Speaker 1: on his preposterous fib that, oh yeah, he's he's always
Speaker 1: supported and he still supports, you know, the FEDS getting
Speaker 1: rid of criminally leg illegals, when to this day it
Speaker 1: is polis.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Off to a beautiful start in so many ways, not perfect,
Speaker 1: no human endeavor is, but a heck of a lot
Speaker 1: better than anything we've seen in our lifetimes eight five
Speaker 1: five zero five eight two five five text d A
Speaker 1: N five seven seven three nine great to see Google
Speaker 1: is going to go to Gulf of America. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think first there's it's got to be formally incorporated
Speaker 1: into the Federal Register of blah blah blah, and then
Speaker 1: Google's going to go to that. And I expect many
Speaker 1: others will follow, as they should. And I know people
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about this. I find it fascinating.
Speaker 1: It should be Golf of America, right, I mean, you
Speaker 1: look at all that, you look at the prominence of America.
Speaker 1: Without America, the world is in darkness right now. Without America,
Speaker 1: evil rules the world. So it should be the Gulf
Speaker 1: of America. And there should be a major body of
Speaker 1: water named after the greatest country in the history of
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 6: Even if you're just going on history geography and you
Speaker 6: leave the United States out of it, Dan, both continents
Speaker 6: in this hemisphere are named after Americo, Vespucci, North America,
Speaker 6: South America.
Speaker 5: Gulf of America makes a whole.
Speaker 6: Lot more sense just along those lines leaving the USA
Speaker 6: out of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I never made any sense, and you know
Speaker 1: when Trump is at his best is when it's these fresh,
Speaker 1: creative ideas. Now, listen, Golf of America. That's not going
Speaker 1: to change anybody's life, but it should be that way, right.
Speaker 1: Some of these other big ideas they are going to change,
Speaker 1: They are going to save a lot of lives. But
Speaker 1: it's these fresh ideas when he's often at his very best.
Speaker 1: A great Texter asking about let me get to that
Speaker 1: very text, Dan, Why in the heck was the US
Speaker 1: sending fifty million to fund condoms for Gaza. That's absurd, Alexa,
Speaker 1: I misunderstood the story. I thought she said Ryan's bachelor party.
Speaker 3: Doge and Omb have actually found that there was thirty
Speaker 3: seven million.
Speaker 4: Dollars that was about to go out the door.
Speaker 3: To the World Health Organization, which is an organization as
Speaker 3: you all know, that President Trump, with the swipe of
Speaker 3: his pen in that executive Order, is no longer once
Speaker 3: the United States to be a part of, so that
Speaker 3: wouldn't be in line with the president's agenda. Doj and
Speaker 3: Omb also found that there was about to be fifty
Speaker 3: million taxpayer dollars that went out the door.
Speaker 4: To fund condoms in Gaza. That is a.
Speaker 3: Preposterous waste of taxpayer money. So that's what this pause
Speaker 3: is focused on, being good stewards of tax dollars.
Speaker 1: Ryan helped me out here. Okay, I have been blissfully
Speaker 1: ecstatically married now for over thirty years. How many condoms
Speaker 1: does fifty million buys?
Speaker 5: I mean at least fifty million. If you've what's gone?
Speaker 1: Is it? There aren't even people there? I mean no, Well,
Speaker 1: this is the waste that we're talking about.
Speaker 7: Dan.
Speaker 6: It shouldn't surprise anybody, the waste, fraud, and abuse of
Speaker 6: the spending by various aspects of our government agencies. I
Speaker 6: would say, including and maybe even especially the Department of Defense,
Speaker 6: and hopefully Pete Hegg sat with our new sectaff is
Speaker 6: going to the bottom.
Speaker 5: Of that well.
Speaker 1: And of course the real question is where was that
Speaker 1: money really going?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: I mean I understand what it says on that line
Speaker 1: item fifty million content of it, Yeah, yeah, but where
Speaker 1: was it really going? Dan? If I remember correctly the
Speaker 1: argument I heard long ago for creating a sanctuary city,
Speaker 1: that term should be banned, right, I mean no, that
Speaker 1: is Think about how preposterous that term is, the word
Speaker 1: sanctuary meaning lawless, a city where the public officials have
Speaker 1: declared through their words and or actions that they are
Speaker 1: not going to follow the law. Think about that, So
Speaker 1: why does it get a pretty word like sanctuary, as
Speaker 1: a sanctuary is where you're protected. So yeah, if let's say,
Speaker 1: let's say the mob or a drug kingpin, he had
Speaker 1: this place where mobsters or drug dealers could go and
Speaker 1: they could be protected against law enforcement, would anybody call
Speaker 1: that a sanctuary? But yeah, that's how preposterous the language
Speaker 1: has become on this. And it goes on to say,
Speaker 1: would supposed to create safer cities because the legals would
Speaker 1: theoretically not be afraid to turn in someone that they
Speaker 1: had known created a crime if they were sure of
Speaker 1: being protected. Yeah, that's one of the arguments. Just like
Speaker 1: remember when they wanted to legalize marijuana in Colorado, the
Speaker 1: argument was that there were some people going through cancer
Speaker 1: who would have their pain relieved, when the real goal
Speaker 1: all along was was to get what we have now,
Speaker 1: which is this wild West of marijuana legalization that's just
Speaker 1: destroying the state in so many ways. So yeah, that
Speaker 1: may have been one of the argu documents, But then
Speaker 1: look what they're actually doing. Look what Jared Polis, the
Speaker 1: founding father of the sanctuary state of Colorado. Did he
Speaker 1: signed a bill that had nothing to do with people
Speaker 1: who want to report a crime to law enforce, and
Speaker 1: it had to do with people here illegally who had
Speaker 1: done such bad things they'd actually found their way into
Speaker 1: one of our jails, which is not easy to do
Speaker 1: right the way law enforcement is underfunded and undersupported. So
Speaker 1: you got this bad guy or gal sitting in jail already,
Speaker 1: Polis signed a bill that ended this long standing practice
Speaker 1: where I could say, Hey, you got a bad guy
Speaker 1: or gall in jail, hold them, We're going to come
Speaker 1: get them. Polis ended that he made it illegal, went
Speaker 1: out of his way to protect people here illegally who'd
Speaker 1: committed to their crimes so bad they'd ended up in
Speaker 1: one of our jails. That has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: making sure somebody can call nine to one one without
Speaker 1: getting deported. It's obscene, it's perverted, and it shows a
Speaker 1: fundamental lack of respect for innocent human life. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: now it is so much fun to watch Polis try
Speaker 1: to disassemble and deceive and claim that he didn't do that.
Speaker 1: Even Kyle Clark's not buying it.
Speaker 8: Colorado's leading Democrats, from the mayor of Denver to the governor,
Speaker 8: have said that they support the deportation of violent criminals,
Speaker 8: but they do not back mass deportations of people for
Speaker 8: the civil offense of being in the country without authorization.
Speaker 8: Those Democrats are under pressure from Republicans to repeal the
Speaker 8: state laws that keep local law enforcement from doing immigration
Speaker 8: enforcement for the FEDS. Colorado is one of eleven states
Speaker 8: with some level of limits on immigration enforcement.
Speaker 1: Now, let's say Ryan and don't do this. Nobody should
Speaker 1: ever do this, right. But let's say that somebody went
Speaker 1: illegally into the home of some prominent Democrat, which they
Speaker 1: should not do, and if they try to do it,
Speaker 1: they should be shot by the homeowner, who would have
Speaker 1: that right. But let's say somebody did, would they use
Speaker 1: that same language, Oh, they were president and big shot
Speaker 1: democrats home without authorization? Do you think they'd use that
Speaker 1: same language? No? No, I don't either.
Speaker 8: But Governor Jared Polis is adamant that this is not
Speaker 8: a sanctuary state. We'll listen to what he told our
Speaker 8: sister Station Cardio and the s Franks.
Speaker 1: This narrative is false, that Colorado's any way, shape or
Speaker 1: form of sanctuary state. We are not will break that down. Larry,
Speaker 1: you signed the bill. I literally have it right in
Speaker 1: front of me. You did it with the flourish, this
Speaker 1: big old signature where you ended this practice. You forbid
Speaker 1: law enforcement from honoring ICE detainers, directly undermined the safety
Speaker 1: of everybody in Colorado. Ice came out the next day
Speaker 1: publicly and said it was going to be catastrophic for
Speaker 1: Colorado and it has been. So Yeah, he's shameless, but
Speaker 1: it's kind of fun to watch, right and polists now
Speaker 1: taking the knee to Trump on this just proves this
Speaker 1: change is here for good. America's not going back. Americans, no,
Speaker 1: Colorado's know they are safer today than they were a
Speaker 1: week ago because Trump is deporting They can see it.
Speaker 1: It's happening. It's not just words. He's deporting people here
Speaker 1: illegally have committed other crimes. Who's going to choose to
Speaker 1: go back to the more dangerous days of a week ago.
Speaker 1: So now this is a permanent change, and Paul is
Speaker 1: now trying to rewrite history. Nobody's buying it, not even Marlin.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3: Commit to telling the truth. From this podium every single day.
Speaker 3: I commit to speaking on behalf of the president of
Speaker 3: the United States.
Speaker 4: That is my job.
Speaker 3: And I will say it's very easy to speak truth
Speaker 3: from this podium when you have a president who is
Speaker 3: implementing policies that are wildly popular with the American people.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what this administration is doing. It's correcting
Speaker 3: the lies and the wrongs of the past four years,
Speaker 3: many of the lies that have been told to your
Speaker 3: faces in this very briefing room.
Speaker 4: I will not do that. But since you brought up truth,
Speaker 4: I would like to point.
Speaker 3: Out while I vow to provide the truth from this podium,
Speaker 3: we ask that all of you in this room hold
Speaker 3: yourselves to that same standard.
Speaker 4: We know for a fact there have been lies.
Speaker 3: That have been pushed by many legacy media outlets in
Speaker 3: this country about this president, about his family, and we
Speaker 3: will not accept that. We will call you out when
Speaker 3: we feel that your reporting is wrong or there is
Speaker 3: misinformation about this White House. So yes, I will hold
Speaker 3: myself to the truth, and I expect everyone in this.
Speaker 1: Room you go via a fighter. I love that the
Speaker 1: entire administration. I mean, this is going to be a
Speaker 1: great four years and really front loaded in the first
Speaker 1: two right for obvious reasons. So let's go to the
Speaker 1: full lines. Frank in beautiful Cheyenne, Wyoming. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 7: Welcome Frank, Well greeting, Stan. I've been listening for about
Speaker 7: a year. Really like your show, thank you and everything.
Speaker 7: Yesterday you were giving a Vice President Vance a pretty
Speaker 7: hard time about the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and
Speaker 7: money being behind it. Let me preface this with I'm
Speaker 7: a cradle Catholic. I'm a good mickey. Sure, sure, talk
Speaker 7: Catechism at my parish for seventeen or eighteen years.
Speaker 1: Wonderful.
Speaker 7: I'm not a fan of the USCCP. I think they're
Speaker 7: anti American, among other things, but I want and looked
Speaker 7: it up and according to USA Spending dot gov, the
Speaker 7: US Conference of Catholic Bishops has received over forty four
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty million dollars in refugee assistance grants since
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Frank, can we step there and I'll give you the
Speaker 1: rest of the show. And I really appreciate your calling,
Speaker 1: your approach to it. But let's break that down. When
Speaker 1: you say the Conference of Catholic Bishops has received that money.
Speaker 1: I assume what you really mean is that various NGOs,
Speaker 1: non governmental organizations across the country associated with the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church have received a combination of Money's that figure, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't a case of oh, Conference of
Speaker 1: Catholic Bishops, here's half a billion dollars.
Speaker 7: No, No, it was. Some of it came from state department.
Speaker 7: Some of it came from refugee assistance programs. You know,
Speaker 7: there's a whole list. It's an incredible list of government grants.
Speaker 7: Is federal dollars.
Speaker 1: Right, And before we go any further, Frank, can I
Speaker 1: just clarify this for people, and if you disagree with me,
Speaker 1: then obviously you'll feel free to say that when we're
Speaker 1: talking about quote giving them money, what we're really talking
Speaker 1: about is these Catholic based organizations saving the taxpayers untold
Speaker 1: billions because when you've got to feed these people, rightnment.
Speaker 1: The government's not giving these organizations this money because it
Speaker 1: wants the organizations to go to the Super Bowl, right,
Speaker 1: It's giving them this money because it's got all these
Speaker 1: people the government has to feed, has to clothe, has
Speaker 1: to take care of another ways and the question is
Speaker 1: are you going to do it by setting up a
Speaker 1: government bureaucracy or are you going to do it through
Speaker 1: these existing organizations that are already out there on their
Speaker 1: own time, through their parishoners' contributions, generous donors, already serving
Speaker 1: this population. So what we're really talking about is these
Speaker 1: Catholic organizations saving taxpayers billions and doing it a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot better than the government could do it.
Speaker 7: Oh, I would immediately agree that private organizations can do
Speaker 7: things much more efficiently than government. And yes, these are
Speaker 7: grants to Catholic organizations to administer these programs in lieu
Speaker 7: of government.
Speaker 1: Right. And so then when Jdvance says that the bishops
Speaker 1: have put money and he put the figure at one
Speaker 1: hundred million in moneies that are going to take care
Speaker 1: of these refugees and others. When Jdvance says the reason
Speaker 1: the bishops are opposing certain executive orders is because they're
Speaker 1: putting this money ahead of children who are being trafficked,
Speaker 1: do you believe there's any chance on the face of
Speaker 1: the earth that's true.
Speaker 7: I don't know. It's a pretty convoluted idea in my opinion.
Speaker 7: But economics makes the world go around and the Catholic
Speaker 7: bishops will do what benefits them. Now, yes, they're doing
Speaker 7: good work. I'm not going to I'm not like to
Speaker 7: say they're putting in their pockets, they're going to Super Bowl.
Speaker 7: But I don't think we have to be spending this
Speaker 7: money in immigrants no matter who does.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, separate issue, and I want to get to that, Frank.
Speaker 1: But wait a second, when you and this is where
Speaker 1: I think and listen. I praise jd. Vance all the time,
Speaker 1: and I think he's spectacular and would make a great president.
Speaker 1: But I think he slandered the bishops. He told he
Speaker 1: said something he knew wasn't true. Because if you're saying
Speaker 1: the bishops have taken this position on immigration because they're
Speaker 1: putting money ahead of children who are being trafficked, well
Speaker 1: wait a second, who are you talking about. You're talking
Speaker 1: about people who have forsaken money, material things, sex, the
Speaker 1: things of the world, to care for the poor, to
Speaker 1: be priests. So what is it about any of these
Speaker 1: bishops that suggest to you that after giving up women,
Speaker 1: giving up sex, giving up material things, taking a vow
Speaker 1: of poverty in order to serve that they would now
Speaker 1: put one hundred million dollars that doesn't go to them,
Speaker 1: It goes to feed poor people ahead of children being trafficked.
Speaker 1: It's a bizarre lie.
Speaker 7: Well, back this up one step, Dan, isn't the Catholic
Speaker 7: Church's opinion on immigration for their own good to fill
Speaker 7: the pews? Is our demographics age out with the exception
Speaker 7: of the traditional Catholic Church, of course, I've seen them
Speaker 7: acting their own self interest for Jesus fifty years.
Speaker 1: Well, and Frank, thank you for asking that question, because
Speaker 1: because lots of good people ask that question, and the
Speaker 1: answer is a provable no. Because first of all, if
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church priority was filling pews, right, if it
Speaker 1: was just appealing to the popular whims of the day,
Speaker 1: do you think they'd still have the same teaching against
Speaker 1: birth control? Do you think they'd still have the same
Speaker 1: teaching on a lot of different issues. That the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church's priority, and it stated and lived in a thousand
Speaker 1: different ways, is not to put people in the pews.
Speaker 1: It's to be true to Christ's teachings and is John
Speaker 1: Paul the Great said, and I'm not going to preach
Speaker 1: this is more a historical reference that the church is
Speaker 1: committed to know we may have to go back to
Speaker 1: being twelve again, but we're going to stay true to
Speaker 1: Christ's teaching. So yeah, if the priority is people in
Speaker 1: the pews, they would have changed the policy on birth control.
Speaker 7: Well there's a lot of other hot questions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly. But the point, my friend, is that,
Speaker 1: first of all, I don't know, and I don't mean
Speaker 1: to be personal, whether you're you're still going to church actively.
Speaker 1: But I've got to tell you, like Sunday, I couldn't
Speaker 1: even go to the church that I was going to
Speaker 1: go to because the parking lot was too full. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Catholic churches I'm going to are thriving. And it's
Speaker 1: not just one because I tend to hit in a
Speaker 1: given couple of months, I tend to hit five or
Speaker 1: six different churches and so so it's this Catholic church
Speaker 1: is not dying on the vine anywhere. And when you
Speaker 1: talk about okay, they've got this business plan to use
Speaker 1: all these illegals, etc. I've got to tell you, being
Speaker 1: on the board of Catholic charities in Denver, it is
Speaker 1: so much work. I mean, just I'm telling you, Frank,
Speaker 1: like real hard work to do all the things that
Speaker 1: have to be done every day to care for the
Speaker 1: immigrant populations. And people are doing this very hard, dirty work,
Speaker 1: you know, out of a commitment to God and God's creatures.
Speaker 1: There's nobody making money off this this money. I'll give
Speaker 1: you an example in Denver for example. This money is
Speaker 1: almost all passed through money. You get a deal with
Speaker 1: the government that says, okay, you've got to care for
Speaker 1: all these immigrants, and we'll pay up to three million dollars,
Speaker 1: and then you know, and this is one real world example,
Speaker 1: and then okay, all of a sudden, no, you spend
Speaker 1: a lot less than that because you're able to do
Speaker 1: it efficiently because you got all these great volunteers, and
Speaker 1: so the cost of the food and the this and
Speaker 1: the that, the hard costs are only one point eight
Speaker 1: that's all that's ever paid. And it just goes straight
Speaker 1: to providing these services. Nobody's getting personally rich off any
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 7: Well, no, I don't think the bishops are buying rolls,
Speaker 7: royces with it or anything like that. Oh, they just
Speaker 7: want to point out that when you got four and
Speaker 7: fifty million passes through your fingers, some of us going
Speaker 7: to stare but the well.
Speaker 1: But Frank, that's just not true. It's just not provable.
Speaker 1: I understand that's your assumption looking at the rest of
Speaker 1: the world. And this is part of my frustration with Jadvans.
Speaker 1: So I admire in so many ways. Okay, Jdvance has
Speaker 1: chosen to make money a priority. I have two Okay.
Speaker 1: I have worked hard and been very blessed, and I
Speaker 1: earn a very good paycheck. Jd Vance worked hard. He
Speaker 1: made money a priority too. He made a very big paycheck.
Speaker 1: We've both been blessed with wonderful wives and great children.
Speaker 1: Jd Vance and I have both pursued those pleasures of
Speaker 1: the world, while these bishops have forsaken all of that
Speaker 1: to serve the poor. So now jd Vance is going
Speaker 1: to call them lying money grubbers who don't care about
Speaker 1: children being I almost said, for the first time on
Speaker 1: air ever the F word. You know blank that And
Speaker 1: I respect jd Vance, but he has chosen a life,
Speaker 1: and God love him for it. I've pursued prosperity.
Speaker 2: He has.
Speaker 1: He's been blessed fantastic, but he's pursued a life of
Speaker 1: financial prosperity and many of these pleasures of the world,
Speaker 1: and the bishops have forsaken all that to serve the poor,
Speaker 1: and then he's going to call them money grubbers who
Speaker 1: don't care about children being trafficked. That's insidious.
Speaker 7: Well, am I wrong? You and I have had a
Speaker 7: good conversation. Yeah, appreciate it. I just wanted to bring
Speaker 7: this up to you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you. You're a good man, and I
Speaker 1: hope you call off and I hope you disagree often
Speaker 1: and again we all make mistakes. Peter betrayed Christ three times.
Speaker 1: I think jd. Vance is fantastic. I think you'd be
Speaker 1: a great president, and I hope he doesn't do something
Speaker 1: like that again. You're on the Dankpla.
Speaker 5: Show and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 9: But they weren't actor, They're not going to be doing
Speaker 9: they weren't actors.
Speaker 1: Well, no, it's true.
Speaker 9: Do you think they were actors? They weren't actress, They
Speaker 9: didn't come from Hollywood. These were these were people. This
Speaker 9: was an actual you know what happened a few days ago, and.
Speaker 1: There are hundreds of miles away.
Speaker 7: Though there are hundreds and hundreds of miles away, that's
Speaker 7: not an invasion.
Speaker 9: Honestly, I think you should let me run the country
Speaker 9: you run CNN, and if you did it, well, you're
Speaker 9: writing let me much.
Speaker 8: If I may ask one of the questions president, I'm you.
Speaker 1: Don't have a question?
Speaker 7: Are you worried?
Speaker 1: That's enough? That's a president that said I asked. One
Speaker 1: of the other folks that said enough said, let me
Speaker 1: get What a beautiful moment. And then it comes to this.
Speaker 1: Yesterday they said.
Speaker 9: It was the greatest week opening week in presidential history,
Speaker 9: and I think, you know, couldn't be a hell.
Speaker 1: Of a lot better. Even CNN is saying this guy
Speaker 1: is amazing. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 9: I said, did CNN really say that? Because nobody watches
Speaker 9: so nobody was able to confirm it.
Speaker 1: But it was pretty amazing. Oh, that camera just went off.
Speaker 1: This this is that, this is a start like we've
Speaker 1: never seen before. Right, what a role and hey, it's
Speaker 1: never going to be a straight line up. I think
Speaker 1: it's just going to keep getting better. So what a
Speaker 1: great time to be alive. Eight five five zero five
Speaker 1: eight two five five the number of course coming full
Speaker 1: circle now with a Costa out at CNN, he was
Speaker 1: offered the midnight to two am. Chef turned it down,
Speaker 1: but but no, it's just showing that the spell has
Speaker 1: been broken. And so many Americans now who were beat
Speaker 1: into submission, intimidated into submission by the left, you know,
Speaker 1: are now seen Wait a second, that was madness. We
Speaker 1: don't have to live in a world where it becomes
Speaker 1: more dangerous each and every day. It can become less dangerous.
Speaker 1: It already hasn't a week under Trump. We see all
Speaker 1: these criminally legos being deported, and we don't have to
Speaker 1: live in that world. We don't have to live in
Speaker 1: a world where boys and men with penises get to
Speaker 1: go into our little girls showers or take over their sports.
Speaker 1: And we don't have to live in a world of madness.
Speaker 1: And Americans are not going to want to go back
Speaker 1: to that craziness. The spell has been broken.
Speaker 5: Just real quick on the key.
Speaker 6: Yes on that front locally, Dan, Yes, Denver East High
Speaker 6: School under fire. Yeah you hear about this, turning a
Speaker 6: girl's restroom on their second floor into a gender neutral
Speaker 6: restroom with no girl's restroom on that floor.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, the war on women by the left, including
Speaker 1: Jared Polis and all of the Colorado Democratic establishment, war
Speaker 1: on women has been relentless, and I think that's the
Speaker 1: next Domino to fall.
Speaker 7: Ryan.
Speaker 1: I think, as we predicted, it did a bit in
Speaker 1: this election cycle, and eventually it's going to hit in Colorado.
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party in Colorado, their policies are so flagrantly
Speaker 1: anti woman, so flagrantly anti people of color. I mean,
Speaker 1: come out, what do they worship at the altar?
Speaker 7: Off?
Speaker 1: They're absolutely obsessed with maximum, legalized, publicly funded killing of
Speaker 1: large numbers of people of color before birth. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's bizarre. But once these spells get broken, I don't
Speaker 1: think people are going back. Let me get to some
Speaker 1: of these text that we have had so many great
Speaker 1: texts coming in today. How about possible a Catholic church
Speaker 1: made decisions based on money not to line their pockets
Speaker 1: but continue their work. No fair question, and thank you
Speaker 1: for that good question. Absolutely not, because when you look
Speaker 1: at these organizations, my friend, that they have been in
Speaker 1: place and they have been working, and they've been doing
Speaker 1: the work of Christ. They're really dirty work, like down
Speaker 1: in the blow and the urine and the mud and
Speaker 1: the dirt. They've been doing this dirty work for longer
Speaker 1: than you and I have been alive. And so it's
Speaker 1: never been dependent on government money. Now, when government comes
Speaker 1: in and says, hey, you do this a hell a
Speaker 1: lot better than we can, so you take over this
Speaker 1: big chunk. They'll do that, But if they don't need
Speaker 1: that to exist, they don't need that to succeed, and
Speaker 1: they don't gain anything by doing that. They're just expanding
Speaker 1: their mission at that point, could they've been asked to
Speaker 1: serve some more? So, great question. Thank you for asking that.
Speaker 1: Dan I and others have quit donating to the church
Speaker 1: because they're enabling illegal immigration. This is not how I
Speaker 1: want my donations to be used. I agree with the caller.
Speaker 1: I believe they want to fill the pews with the illegals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you can believe the sun rises in the West
Speaker 1: if you want to, but you're believing lies. And that's
Speaker 1: one of the great disappointments. I admire greatly and has
Speaker 1: done such great work and I think will be a
Speaker 1: great president Jay d Vance. Just through his lie about
Speaker 1: the bishops, he fed all of this blind anti Catholic bigotry.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying the text is that person. I
Speaker 1: don't know the texture. They may just be believing false
Speaker 1: things that they've heard, but no, how does the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church enable illegal immigration? I'd love for somebody to give
Speaker 1: me specific facts, because I got to tell you they don't.
Speaker 1: If what you're saying is they enable it, because if
Speaker 1: a poor person shows up in front of them, a
Speaker 1: child who needs to be fed, a mother who needs
Speaker 1: to be taken care of, or anyone, and they're going
Speaker 1: to do the work of Christ. They're going to feed them,
Speaker 1: they're going to clothe them, etc. If you consider that
Speaker 1: enabling illegal immigration, I suggest you check your logic. What
Speaker 1: enables illegal immigration are these lefty politicians who open the
Speaker 1: border wide allow everybody to flow in
