Fighting for justice 6 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.719 and the American Way in the US Supreme Court today, 7 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.920 let's hope Tennessee wins will do a deep dive on 8 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.039 that case. We have some pretty stunning audio for you 9 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.199 as well from the US Supreme Court. Stunningly good on 10 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:33.320 the part of Justice Alito and stunningly something on the 11 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.880 part of some of the other justices today. So glad 12 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:38.840 you are here, and you have to hear some of 13 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.479 the rationale and argument from one of the attorneys who 14 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.719 argued against the Tennessee band. Tennessee obviously trying to protect 15 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.039 kids from these various forms of mutilation and distortion of 16 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.640 their bodies. You know that's occurring right now, Tennessee trying 17 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.719 to protect the kids. And of course the Biden administration, 18 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.200 you know, is so wildly into all of this trans 19 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.319 insanity that it's trying to strike down this Tennessee law. 20 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.359 But one of the lawyers who argued today against the 21 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.400 Tennessee ban is the first trans lawyer to ever argue 22 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.480 before the US Supreme Court. Chase strang Gio is his name. 23 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.120 Here's a bit of that sound. 24 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.879 So the case comes at a time when twenty six 25 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.159 states have passed laws restricting healthcare treatments for transgender youth. 26 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.319 Thank you, According to a seeing in Anasis of data 27 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.040 from the nonprofit think tank Movement Advancement Project, So how 28 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.359 do you plan to argue before the US Supreme Court 29 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.959 in a case that could have wind ranging implications beyond 30 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.159 the state of Tennessee. 31 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:41.799 Well, thank you for having me, Jake. 32 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.599 And obviously this is a critical inflection point for transgender 33 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:46.640 people across the country. 34 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:47.439 We're coming off of. 35 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.560 An election season where transgender people played an outside role 36 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.920 in people's consciousness in terms of the way in which 37 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.200 we were situated as a threat to others. And when 38 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.239 we look at the map of states that ban this 39 00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.920 type of evidence based healthcare, we went from zero to 40 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.519 that have these bands in twenty twenty to now more 41 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.040 than half the country. So before the court tomorrow, the 42 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.919 question is really a simple one as I see it, 43 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.439 It's really this is a law that bands medical treatment 44 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.800 only when it is prescribed inconsistent with an individual sex. 45 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.919 Our argument is that that treats people differently because of 46 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.520 their sex, and therefore the court has to treat it 47 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.000 like all other forms of sex discrimination, and that's why 48 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.120 it's unconstitutional. 49 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.439 Well, first of all, it treats them differently because of 50 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.879 their age. But then we get into these other issues, 51 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.400 and keep in mind that if the Biden administration wins 52 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.800 here and the trans lobby wins here, then that precedent might, 53 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.240 depending upon how the Court worded it's ruling in the case, 54 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:47.520 that that precedent might, then it just basically eviscerate, you know, 55 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.039 any kind of limitations on where a man could go 56 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.319 simply by saying I identify as a woman. I mean, 57 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.080 it could have And I doubt very much the US 58 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.800 Supreme Court is going to do this, since it's controlled 59 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.840 at this point by a majority of folks who believe 60 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.520 in interpreting the Constitution rather than making law. I don't think 61 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.120 the Court's going to go there. But if it did 62 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.080 what the Biden administration wants it to do, it would 63 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:17.120 be potentially just a green light for virtually anything that 64 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:18.560 some male. 65 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.599 Says he believes it is a female. 66 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.520 Would would want to do in terms of access to 67 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.879 girls and women's showers and bathrooms and sports and everything else. 68 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.479 I'm hoping and expecting that, you know, you have to 69 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.719 be a little hesitant about reading the tea leaves in 70 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:40.599 the Q and A in a Supreme Court hearing or 71 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.400 a argument rather, but I am hopeful at this point 72 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.680 reading what was said today, that there's going to be 73 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.599 a majority to uphold this Tennessee ban. Let's go back 74 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.400 to some more of the again. First transgender lawyer, biological 75 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.319 female now identifying as male, who argued before the court today, 76 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.240 seems like a nice person, I think, just just way 77 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.879 off in the legal approach to this. 78 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.960 So attorneys representing the state of Tennessee told the US 79 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.599 Supreme Court, quote, if the government's theory holds, men who 80 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.759 identify as women could claim constitutionally based access to women's bathrooms, 81 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.000 women's locker rooms, and women's sports, excepting that theory would 82 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.800 perversely erode women's rights and jeopardize landmark statutes protecting women's 83 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.560 equal access to schools, winners, podiums, and beyond. 84 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:34.720 What's your response to that. 85 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.519 Well, I obviously disagree with that premise that allowing transgender 86 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.399 women into women's sports or women's bathroom is a threat 87 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.240 to women. But it is also not the question before 88 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.000 the court in this case, and in fact, it is 89 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.160 a totally independent question about whether a lot that band's 90 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.560 medical care for transgender adolescence. 91 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.000 Discriminates against people. 92 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.199 Based on sex versus these separate cases that preceded any 93 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.720 of these healthcare bands will continue. 94 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.759 No, no, no, no, in my opinion, not and intellectually are honest 95 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:08.120 argument he's making, because what the Biden administration is asking 96 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.199 the court to do is to find that if you 97 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:19.439 classify in a law based on trans status, that at 98 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:24.600 that point you're classifying based on sex. That's the underlying 99 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.959 legal foundation of what the Biden administration wants them to do. 100 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.839 And if a Supreme Court was to go there and say, okay, 101 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.680 any of these laws having to do with trans stuff, 102 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.399 these are now classifications based on sex, then guess what 103 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.319 that Then all of a sudden, you have to have 104 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.720 the highest form of scrutiny, such as a law that 105 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.399 would classify based on race. Of course, you should have 106 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.720 the highest form of scrutiny. You shouldn't be able to 107 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.480 classify based on race unless you can meet these very 108 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.600 demanding criteria that are almost never met, these compelling state 109 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:02.800 interest criteria. And so that's exactly exactly what the Biden 110 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.839 administration's trying to do here is get that Supreme Court President. 111 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.639 So any law addressing trans stuff gets that highest form 112 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.759 of protected class status, strict scrutiny. That's exactly what they're 113 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.720 trying to do. I don't believe for one second that 114 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.120 this US Supreme Court is going to fall for that. 115 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:22.839 What we'll do when we come back from the next 116 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.360 break is we'll get you some sound. Justice Alito, absolutely 117 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.079 brilliant today, will get you sound as well from Justice 118 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.079 so to my or Justice Brown, Jackson, et CETERA very 119 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.240 very interesting, compelling, and obviously very important. Right, there's the 120 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.160 reason that Trump team spent over one hundred million dollars 121 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.319 running that devastating ad against Kamala Harris, who is supporting 122 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.920 trans rights, men playing women's sports and girls' sports, all 123 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.720 of that sex changes paid for by taxpayers. Yeah, there's 124 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.879 a reason trump'spent over one hundred million on it. You've 125 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.639 got a lot of Americans across party lines who say, 126 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.519 this is madness. How did we ever get this far 127 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.519 down this road? No disrespect to trans people, no animosity. 128 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:08.680 But this is insane. This is anti woman, this is 129 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.600 anti girl. This craziness has to stop. That's where America's at. 130 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.279 And I don't believe for one second this US Supreme 131 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.560 Court is going to get this wrong. So we'll come back, 132 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.319 we'll dig into that a little deeper before we hit 133 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.519 the brake, though, I wanted to, you know, talk to 134 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.120 you a little bit about what everybody's talking about today, right, 135 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.720 no matter where they work or what they're doing or 136 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:34.720 where they're going, which is you know who executed this 137 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.399 ceo today, the United Healthcare CEO in New York. I'm 138 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.879 sure you've probably seen that video by now, so I 139 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.720 think it's one of those things that cuts through the 140 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.600 noise in America, and it's just it's just unimagine what 141 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:49.839 it's like a scene out of a movie. 142 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:50.079 Right. 143 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.160 The guy all dressed in black, and he's got most 144 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.759 of his face covered but not all of it, and 145 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:56.639 and you know, he's got the weapon that appears to 146 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.519 have a silence or he waits for this CEO victim 147 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.439 on a New York street to walk past him, he 148 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.560 steps in behind him, starts shooting at him. Gun appears 149 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.279 and completely ignores a witness standing a couple of feet 150 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.240 away from him, gun appears to jam, appears to reload, 151 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.959 and then complete the murder of the victim, and then 152 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.480 walk away. Actually started running about halfway across the street 153 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.720 as a backpack on the whole time, otherwise dressed in blacks. 154 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:28.959 So who did it? Why did they do it? So 155 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.600 we'll keep you up to. 156 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.279 The minute if there's any breaking news on that, But 157 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.600 I know it's at this point something being talked. 158 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.080 About all across America. 159 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.759 What's interesting to me, Ryan is and I understand why, 160 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.399 you know, people just look at this and say, Okay, 161 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.559 that's a professional. And I understand there were some what 162 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.600 you would consider professional elements to this demonic behavior. But 163 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.240 wait a second. The guy left the top half of 164 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:59.200 his face uncovered. There were obviously cameras all over the place. 165 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.039 No true professional does that, right unless that person wants 166 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:05.720 to get caught. 167 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.399 So what is really going on there? 168 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:09.919 If you have any thoughts eight five to five or 169 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.159 zero five eight two five five text d A N 170 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.879 five seven seven three nine. Obviously there are their questions 171 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.399 implications that arise from this. Before we come back and 172 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.480 dive in all of that and so much more. Just 173 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.159 want to say fascinating. The way we ended the show yesterday. 174 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.799 A lady called up and was griping about the Avs 175 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.559 being down four zip in the first period last night, 176 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.320 and I just said to her, don't give up on them. 177 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.799 They came back and one five to four. Wow. 178 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.840 And a nice big win by the Nuggets last night 179 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.480 as well. So this could be the night. This could 180 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.000 be the night last night when things kind of stabilized and. 181 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.559 Turned around for the Denver teams. Let's hope. So you're 182 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:45.879 on the dan Kapla Show. 183 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:58.799 And now back to the Dankaplas Show podcasts. Has I 184 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:00.519 suppose it doesn't like to say I wanted to do? 185 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.440 He said, keep going, keep fighting. 186 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.320 Mind there in long way? 187 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.279 Why would I act down? I'm here for yeah boy. 188 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.279 I really hope Pete hag Seth gets confirmed. I'm not 189 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.600 saying he would have been my first choice for first secretary, 190 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.200 but he should be confirmed. President Trump won. He's entitled 191 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.799 to his picks unless there's something grossly and blatantly disqualifying. 192 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.919 If perfection is the standard, we can't have anybody fill 193 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.080 any of those jobs. And we have seen the left 194 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.639 over and over and over again, you know, starting with 195 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:38.440 Clarence Thomas actually before that, just set out to personally 196 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.639 destroy these conservative nominees just as part of the political 197 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.840 blood sport. Now I want to see heg Seth confirm, 198 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.360 just like Justice Kavanaugh. Remember I told you when he 199 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:52.279 was nominated that I wasn't certain that Justice Kavanaugh was 200 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.000 going to be the kind of a true originalist. 201 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.000 You know, who we need on the court. 202 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.039 But at a certain point that kind of information process 203 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.879 became about much more in Justice Kavanaugh. It became about 204 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.759 whether we were going to have due process in this country, 205 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.639 whether you're going to be innocent until proven guilty. And 206 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.840 one of the things I admire most about Trump is 207 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.559 the way he stood up and fought for Kevanaugh and 208 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.039 fought for a larger principle in the meantime, and he 209 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.799 defeated the left on that, you know, political assassination attempt, 210 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.399 and I'm so glad he did, And so I hope 211 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.480 he stands by heg Seth as well. I'm not saying 212 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.639 heg SA's perfect, who is right, but Trump is entitled 213 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:33.879 to his picks, and we do not want to feed 214 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.720 this beast. We don't want to feed this leftist beast 215 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.559 of just going out and trying to personally destroy you know, 216 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:45.120 Trump picks, you know, for the political blood sport. So yeah, 217 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.759 I hope he gets confirmed. Listen, would I have loved 218 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.440 to have seen Ron DeSantis initially in that position. Of course, 219 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.919 now I'm not at all sure that DeSantis. 220 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:54.919 Would take it. 221 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.600 Now you're aware of the stories today that Trump may 222 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.159 turn to him if he Seth can't get through. I'm 223 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:04.000 not at all sure DeSantis would do that because he's 224 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:06.799 going to be running for president very soon, right. I mean, 225 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.360 he's quietly running now, but it's going to be openly 226 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.080 running in a couple of years, and so all of 227 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.960 that could become an issue. Eight five for zer five 228 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.039 A two five five the number. 229 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:16.639 Glad you're here. 230 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.879 We're talking about this enormously important US Supreme Court case 231 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.919 heard today us fe'st. Gurmeti and whether Tennessee's law protecting 232 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:31.639 children from this so called gender affirming care and many 233 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.480 states now I think it's up to twenty five or 234 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.639 twenty six have laws like Tennessee's. Whether those laws are 235 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.360 going to be upheld. I believe this court will uphold Tennessee. 236 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:44.399 But you've got this overarching bigger issue, and what the 237 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.440 Left is trying to do with this Tennessee case is 238 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:51.399 trying to set this precedent that any law touching on 239 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:55.840 transgender rights is sex based classification. Because if they can 240 00:12:55.879 --> 00:13:00.600 get that precedent, then the only way that you could, 241 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.200 you know, over turnal laws say favoring trans rights would 242 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.759 be defined compelling state interests to do so. And that's 243 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.840 a very very high, this heightened scrutiny standard, very very 244 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.639 hard to meet. So that's what you know that the 245 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.159 Left is really trying to accomplish through this case. I 246 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.720 think the left has proven over and over again it 247 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.759 doesn't care at all about the health and welfare of children. 248 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:28.559 Quite the opposite children. And it's fascinating to me because 249 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.159 I know a lot of these people on the left 250 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.799 is individuals, and I'm sure they're great mothers and fathers 251 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.840 and everything else, but when it comes to other people's children, 252 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.320 and it comes to children in general, they're clearly acceptable 253 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.240 casualties in the eyes of the left. And you just 254 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.480 look at their various policies and it confirms it to 255 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.840 the extreme, starting with abortion right, all these where you 256 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.360 lose what about a million kids a year in America 257 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.440 killed before birth and you get four or five blecks 258 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.080 to everyone. 259 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.360 Killed before birth. Horrific. 260 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:04.639 One of the most terrific racist in effect laws imaginable, 261 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:10.039 and the Left worships it. Yeah, So no children are 262 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:14.320 acceptable casualties to the Left for their bigger, broader policy interest. 263 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.600 And that's just a sad and sick reality we're dealing 264 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:21.720 with in America today. And that includes kids who believe 265 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.039 they're the other gender, or have been convinced by adults 266 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:27.440 they're the other gender, or it's kind of the cool 267 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.120 thing now to say you're the other gender. Whatever it is, 268 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.279 each and every one of these kids, my heart breaks warm, 269 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.600 and they need the proper kind of true gender affirming 270 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.879 care because what a backwards term. Real gender affirming care 271 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.679 is care that comforts and aids these children in their 272 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:52.240 confusion and in their distress by confirming their true gender 273 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.440 and then dealing with other issues in the best ways possible. 274 00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.840 So what the left calls gender affirming care is ex 275 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.120 on the opposite eight five five zero five eight two 276 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.720 five five text d An five seven seven three nine. 277 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.720 I don't know if you are a prayer, Ryan, Are 278 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:09.360 you a prayer? 279 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.000 You know I should pray more. Let's put it that way. 280 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.639 Okay, is it like only during the super Bowl when 281 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.399 it's like got three and a half points spread? 282 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.919 And no, but kind of if you think back to 283 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.480 it's a wonderful life when Jimmy Stewart he's really hit 284 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.960 dire straits and almost rock bottom and he's never a bridge. 285 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.360 Hold on, whoa, whoa? You've never seen it's a wonderful light. 286 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.480 You have seen it. I'm a busy guy. Every time 287 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.799 I came out in nineteen forty six, I've been busy. 288 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.080 At first, I wasn't even born, so I was busy 289 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.799 not being more hopefully being an angel in heaven or something. 290 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.639 But you no, I've always make it a point to 291 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.440 go see it and then something comes up, but please 292 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:45.799 go ahead. 293 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.519 Any well, there's a scene he's at a bridge. It's 294 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.080 a turning point in the least. I won't spoil it 295 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.320 for you since you haven't seen it, but he's desperate 296 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:53.679 and he goes. I'm not a praying man, but I'm 297 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.080 praying to God right now, show me the answers or 298 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.679 show me the way. And I think God has mercy 299 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.960 in those cases. But I would feel I think if 300 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.440 I prayed more, and not just when I desperately needed 301 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:03.960 God's help. 302 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.320 Well, so you've never been on a flight with turbulence. 303 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:10.840 I have prayed in certain like that. Yeah, that's so. 304 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:12.600 I'm sure you've gone a. 305 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.720 Lot of people have started their prayer. 306 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.399 Life when you lost your parents. 307 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:18.120 With major turbulence. 308 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.879 Oh yeah, and when I lost my mom. I mean, 309 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.440 you're you're praying at the time, you know. 310 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:23.759 Oh, there is no doubt about that. 311 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.200 And and the only reason I ask is because anybody 312 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:31.480 who believes in prayer today, please pray for the acquittal 313 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.159 of Daniel Penny. Absolutely, New York, pray for the acquittal 314 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.960 of Daniel Penny. He's obviously innocent, but but way beyond that, 315 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:43.639 the ramifications for him as a guy who stepped in 316 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:47.639 to protect others start with that, the ramifications for the 317 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.960 city of New York, the ramifications for the country. I'm 318 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.840 not saying there be a kind of violence in the streets, 319 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.320 none of that nonsense. But it will be a real 320 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.559 another major wound to justice in America and respect for 321 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.840 the system if Daniel Penny is convicted. Any such conviction 322 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.200 would be obviously wrongful, never should have been charged. And 323 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.319 I hope that if he is as he should be acquitted, 324 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.319 I really hope that that he then goes on to 325 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.039 great things and many great opportunities are provided for him, 326 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.359 and he's hailed as the hero that he really is. 327 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:20.119 And you work with jury's and I think this is 328 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:21.920 an easy one. If you're on that jury, you got 329 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.079 to be thinking to yourself, if myself and my girlfriend 330 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.039 were on that subway, would we want Daniel Penny stepping 331 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.240 in to stop that guy in the answer is yes, yeah. 332 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.839 And listen, you won't find a guy with more respect 333 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.160 for juries than me. I start another jury trial Tuesday. 334 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:40.119 But the point being that this is New York. Trump 335 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.160 just got convicted in New York on an obviously politically 336 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:49.839 motivated charge. Anything can happen, right, So that's why even 337 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.640 though it's a small chance of a conviction, it's a 338 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.000 small chance of something really bad. So that's what gets 339 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:02.599 you concerned. But let's pray for an acquittal for Daniel Penny. 340 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.839 Eight five zero five two five five The number would 341 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.519 cuveny thoughts on what you think happen there in New 342 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:17.160 York with this brutal assassination execution of that CEO right 343 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.079 out in the open on a New York street with 344 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:24.880 people standing around, and are there broader implications broader ramifications 345 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:25.599 Pete Hegseth. 346 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:28.279 I really want to see him confirmed for the reasons 347 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:28.880 I mentioned. 348 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.680 What do you think about that? And then we'll talk 349 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.480 about the latest with insurrection. 350 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.359 Mike in Denver. 351 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.039 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Well, I've 352 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.880 just given what one he's on camera. 353 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.279 If you're too drunk for Fox News, you're very, very drunk, indeed, 354 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.119 And listen. 355 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.160 I want to see Pete Hegseath confirmed. And I think 356 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:54.319 he's getting kavanat right now. And I'm glad Trump is 357 00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.720 standing up to this tactic from the left. But that 358 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.000 was one of the great lines ever. Right, If you're 359 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.680 too drunk for Fox News, you're very drunk indeed. Eight 360 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.279 five five for zero five eight two five five the 361 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.799 number I think Hegseth is being smeared. None of us 362 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.680 are perfect. That shouldn't be the standard or else only 363 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.319 the good Lord could serve in the cabinet, and it 364 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.559 certainly hasn't been the Democrats standard. Listen, all these Democrats 365 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.319 now running around smearing Hegseth is some kind of drawn coe. 366 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.880 He's impaired by alcohol. Look at what they've been doing 367 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:29.279 that they have been actively backing and endorsing and supporting. 368 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:34.440 Having an obviously severely impaired person in the White House 369 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.680 is President of the United States. There can be no 370 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:39.440 doubt Joe Biden is impaired. Hey, let's go to the 371 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:44.119 VIP line and what an impressive congressional class of conservatives 372 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.200 Colorado sent to DC and just I think a turning 373 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.759 point kind of election in Colorado. One of those stars, 374 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.640 of course, is Jeff Crank from the fifth CD kind 375 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.880 enough to join us. Jeff, welcome back to the Dan 376 00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.640 KAPLI show. 377 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:00.640 Dan, thanks for having me over. It's a pleasure to 378 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.079 be with you. 379 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.480 Well, thank you. And I know that you won't be 380 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.880 voting on the confirmation. But do you think hagg Seth 381 00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:06.920 should be confirmed? 382 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.720 Yeah? I do. First of all, I know Pete hag Seth. 383 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.160 I worked with Pete a little bit at Concerned Veterans. 384 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.519 He was at Concerned Veterans for America, I was Americans 385 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.000 for Prosperity. He led that organization for a while and 386 00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.799 it did a great job when I when I knew him, 387 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.200 I don't know him since he became the big star 388 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.359 on Fox News and all of that I haven't sort 389 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:29.440 of kept up. But the Pete Haig stuff, I know 390 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.160 was a good man, committed to America and to standing 391 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:35.920 up for it. And so look, I mean I don't, 392 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.240 as you said, I don't have a vote, but I 393 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.039 think the Democrats are you know, this is their t 394 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.799 this is their playbook, right. They did it at Kavanaugh, 395 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.079 They've done it to others. When they don't want someone confirmed, 396 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.240 they try and take a scalp and look, you got 397 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.240 to come forward with lots of evidence and proof. I'm 398 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.200 not willing to just defend someone because they're a Republican. 399 00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:59.559 There's plenty of times where I've opposed to someone without 400 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:03.920 fay for integrity to be confirmed. But the President of 401 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.200
