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.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you just have to enjoy the fruits of
Speaker 1: your victory, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We fight for truth justice in the American way every day,
Speaker 1: lots of different ways, but sometimes you just have to
Speaker 1: savor the w's And I think this is one of
Speaker 1: these days. I mean, you know, we'll have some other
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about, but we.
Speaker 3: Can't just drive past so fast.
Speaker 1: You know, the monumental event, you can't even call it
Speaker 1: a speech, right, It was a monumental political undressing, a
Speaker 1: monumental political triumph that President Trump had on Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: Plus it's just so much fun and there's more to
Speaker 1: talk about there, so we'll continue to enjoy that and
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, the importance of it going forward.
Speaker 1: And then we also have to enjoy the hearing yesterday
Speaker 1: with Lawless Mike and some of these other sanctuary city mayors.
Speaker 1: And again against the backdrop of wait a second, we
Speaker 1: already know we've won this, right, It's kind of like
Speaker 1: being a Christian, you already know who wins in the end, right,
Speaker 1: but we already know that that politically, Trump and the
Speaker 1: GOP have won this issue. And now you have these outliers,
Speaker 1: you know, like a handful of people still fighting World
Speaker 1: War two forty years later in a jungle somewhere. You
Speaker 1: got these outliers like lawless Mike, you know, just insisting
Speaker 1: that the no the protection of people here illegally who
Speaker 1: have committed other crimes and ended up in our jails
Speaker 1: is the top priority of the mayor.
Speaker 3: You know, you've already won.
Speaker 1: The battles, so you just have to enjoy as the
Speaker 1: layers start to unravel. So we're going to play some
Speaker 1: more sound from that hearing on the Hill yesterday, So
Speaker 1: enjoy that.
Speaker 3: And then but I want to open with the.
Speaker 1: Latest piece of evidence that just proves true what we
Speaker 1: talked about all summer leading up to election day, when
Speaker 1: the constant messaging here was, Hey, just relax, enjoy this.
Speaker 3: Trump's got it. He's going to win.
Speaker 1: There's no way America's electing Kamala Harris. And one big
Speaker 1: reason for that is the absolutely brilliant Trump ad that
Speaker 1: Elon Musk funded over one hundred million dollars worth, which
Speaker 1: decidedly tipped the scales in his favor, which just said, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is goofy lunacy. You know, no men in women's
Speaker 1: bathrooms or showers or sports that this is insanity and
Speaker 1: it's got hand. And so we have seen I think
Speaker 1: the first top tier capitulation on that, in the form
Speaker 1: of Gavin Newsom. I'll play that sound for you now.
Speaker 1: But then the question is how soon do the others follow?
Speaker 1: How soon does Bennett follow? Right, because Michael Bennett, we
Speaker 1: haven't had time to talk about this with all this
Speaker 1: other fun stuff going on. Michael Bennett now apparently wants
Speaker 1: to be governor of Colorado. And we'll put that right
Speaker 1: up there, Ryan, with Jerry Polish for president, hicken Looper
Speaker 1: for president, Been for president, and me for QB one
Speaker 1: of the Broncos next year q BE two more realistic,
Speaker 1: QB one probably unreachable. But how soon now do the
Speaker 1: politically uncourageous follow?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Newsom himself is politically uncourageous. He would have been courageous
Speaker 1: to have taken this position a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: mildly courageous to have taken it before election day, right
Speaker 1: now that this is just survival, right, this is just
Speaker 1: trying to find a lifeboat and survive. And Gavin Newsom's
Speaker 1: surrendering on this how fast? Now do you see Polis,
Speaker 1: do you see Bennett? Do you see hicken looperor do
Speaker 1: you see others?
Speaker 5: And so the issue of fairness is completely legit. And
Speaker 5: I saw that the last couple of years. Boy did
Speaker 5: I saw how you guys were able to weaponize that.
Speaker 4: Issue another weaponized?
Speaker 6: Don't that's well Webinar's maybe the jority of you're right,
Speaker 6: but you were able to shine a light on highlight
Speaker 6: it in a way that frankly, there are not that
Speaker 6: many we're talking about I think N two a what
Speaker 6: five hundred and ten thousand?
Speaker 3: But no, no, but I just didn't realize.
Speaker 7: It's eight hundred ninety medals in trophies that we know
Speaker 7: of in the last five years.
Speaker 3: That's a lot.
Speaker 5: No, So I'm going to let me step back say
Speaker 5: completely fair on the issue of fairness. I completely agree.
Speaker 5: So that's easy to call out the unfairness of that.
Speaker 5: There's also a humility and a grace. You know that
Speaker 5: these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have
Speaker 5: anxiety and depression and the way that people talk down
Speaker 5: to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a
Speaker 5: hard time with as well. So both things I can
Speaker 5: hold in my hand. How can we address this issue
Speaker 5: with the kind of decency that I think you know,
Speaker 5: it's inherent in you, but not always expressed on the issue.
Speaker 1: So Newsome concedes this is unfair, right, and that is
Speaker 1: a major concession. Yeah, he's trying to walk the fence
Speaker 1: everything else, and that's how these people end up castrated, right,
Speaker 1: because they just try to straddle the fence that that
Speaker 1: is that's always going to end in. Castration can be literal,
Speaker 1: it can be metaphorical, but in the case of a
Speaker 1: male elected official, it's at least metaphorical because you end
Speaker 1: up with nobody respecting you because you don't have the
Speaker 1: courage to come down strongly on one side of the
Speaker 1: fence or the other. But make no mistake about it,
Speaker 1: that is a major surrender to acknowledge what no honest
Speaker 1: person could have ever disputed, that it is profoundly unfair
Speaker 1: for males to be playing in girls and women's sports.
Speaker 1: So how quickly now that this piece of the dam
Speaker 1: is broken how quickly do the others come along?
Speaker 3: Will there be any holdouts?
Speaker 1: So I'd love to get your taken that you can
Speaker 1: text as DN five seven seven three nine. Will Bennett
Speaker 1: be the first? Okay Bennett in Colorado? Because Bennett now
Speaker 1: eyeing the governor's office reportedly no official announcement, Polis clearly
Speaker 1: trying to eye the presidency. Who will be first? Will
Speaker 1: it be Polis? Who would be very wise? And this
Speaker 1: is where this is where his lack of political courage
Speaker 1: is really hurt him, right, because Polis could have broken
Speaker 1: out a couple of different ways. He should have come
Speaker 1: out a long time ago, you know, against boys and
Speaker 1: men in women's sports, and it would have helped him
Speaker 1: so much politically, but again, just kind of lacks that
Speaker 1: political courage and because he can't possibly believe it's okay, right,
Speaker 1: So will it be Polis who takes that leap first?
Speaker 1: Or will it be Bennett? Would love your take care.
Speaker 1: Your answer may be none of the above, And I
Speaker 1: hope you're right because it'll keep getting both of them thumped.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying Bennett's been thumbed.
Speaker 1: He's sitting in the US Senate right, but he's been
Speaker 1: a complete non factor in the US Senate.
Speaker 3: I think everybody would have to acknowledge that.
Speaker 1: Even Kyle referred to him as what the Cicada of
Speaker 1: criticism or something.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Cata of the Senate, because every thirteen years he
Speaker 7: comes around and says something.
Speaker 1: And guess what, if you are blessed to be handed
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful and important positions in the world,
Speaker 1: you never wantn't you're nickname to be cicada or phantom
Speaker 1: or ghost?
Speaker 3: Right right? So no, but it's common. It's common.
Speaker 1: I love these tipping points, especially when they're tipping the
Speaker 1: right way, and it's what we've expected for a long
Speaker 1: time for obvious reason, because the other side on these
Speaker 1: issues is absolutely crazy. And yeah eight f five zero
Speaker 1: five eight two five five takes d an five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine.
Speaker 3: So as Bill Murray says, we got that going for us, Dan.
Speaker 1: Do you think Newsom really cares or plays a political card?
Speaker 1: One thousand percent political for him? There's I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody can look at Gavin Newsom and if any idea
Speaker 1: what he truly cares about, right, And the good thing
Speaker 1: is everybody gets that. Everybody gets that. Uh, this one's
Speaker 1: too long.
Speaker 3: I would have enjoyed that if it was shorter. All right,
Speaker 3: let's do this. Let's get you some of this because.
Speaker 1: Much of the show is going to be this really
Speaker 1: really fun sound today, a lot of which we didn't
Speaker 1: have time for yesterday, and some.
Speaker 3: Of it we just wanted to enjoy. We just want
Speaker 3: to enjoy some more.
Speaker 1: Let's start for those like me who care deeply about Colorado.
Speaker 1: Let's start with Congresswoman Bobert and a series of bites
Speaker 1: as she questioned lawless Mike yesterday.
Speaker 8: Thank you, mister Chairman, Mayor Mike Johnson. I hope we
Speaker 8: can start off on a level field.
Speaker 4: Of agreement here. So in your.
Speaker 8: Testimony, you said that locals were asking Denver, what will
Speaker 8: you do when they saw ten to eleven buses coming
Speaker 8: in a day and forty two thousand illegal aliens entering
Speaker 8: their city, Denver, what will you do? And in a
Speaker 8: Fox thirty one interview in January, you blamed state law
Speaker 8: for not allowing the city of Denver to coordinate with ICE,
Speaker 8: resulting in Denver being a sanctuary city, saying, quote, the
Speaker 8: whole state is bound by our state law in this,
Speaker 8: which is pretty consistent in some of these practices like
Speaker 8: every where in the state, we don't honor ice detainers.
Speaker 3: End quote. I've demanded Governor Jared.
Speaker 8: Poulis and the Colorado State legislature to repeal them. Douglas
Speaker 8: County has led on a lawsuit to get those laws repealed.
Speaker 1: What a brilliant way to start. I'm so impressed with
Speaker 1: how prepared she was. And then she drops the hammer.
Speaker 8: So, mister mayor, would you join me today and calling
Speaker 8: and demanding that these sanctuary policies, these Colorado state laws
Speaker 8: be repealed.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Congresswoman bless or.
Speaker 3: No, mister mayor, yes or no? Will you join me?
Speaker 9: I do not believe the detaieral on needs to be changed,
Speaker 9: so I can.
Speaker 3: Oh, that is so beautiful.
Speaker 1: What a brilliant start, because Congressman's absolutely right, he's been
Speaker 1: hiding behind that. Hey, that's all the state. I'm bound
Speaker 1: by state law. What a brilliant place to start, because
Speaker 1: now far beyond yesterday, you know, he owns it.
Speaker 2: He own it.
Speaker 1: No, he wants this to be the state of the law,
Speaker 1: which puts him in a bit of a pickle because
Speaker 1: it's completely undefensible and it's getting innocent people raped and killed.
Speaker 1: So brilliant start by Congressome and Bolbert. We'll have more
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 3: We'll have Gabe Evans questioning Lawless.
Speaker 1: Mike and Jim Jordan had a really important riff as well,
Speaker 1: and then we'll bring back some of the great Trump
Speaker 1: highlights from that event.
Speaker 3: Can't even call it a speech.
Speaker 1: That event that beat down at transformational evening on Tuesday night.
Speaker 3: You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Because of the second item that we're going to display here,
Speaker 2: which is the standard FBI fingerprint card, something that I
Speaker 2: filled out for over a decade when I was a
Speaker 2: police officer, which has those items as mandatory fields, location
Speaker 2: of and then the citizenship. And so I've heard, being
Speaker 2: a cop in the Denver metro area that police officers
Speaker 2: in Denver are being told not to fill out those
Speaker 2: mandatory fields in the FBI fingerprint card, which could potentially
Speaker 2: indicate why you're unsure of how many of these crimes
Speaker 2: are being committed by illegal immigrants in your city. So
Speaker 2: the second question is will you allow Denver police officers
Speaker 2: to fill out all of the information on an FBI
Speaker 2: fingerprint card to including asking for and recording the citizenship status.
Speaker 1: See this is absolutely brilliant, right, because what Johnston and
Speaker 1: other lefties try to do is they try to say, hey, wait,
Speaker 1: crime is down in the city since.
Speaker 3: The quote newcomers arrived.
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I think they're wrong about that,
Speaker 1: and they're manipulating statistics. But let's say for a second
Speaker 1: they were right. Totally completely irrelevant. What's relevant is how
Speaker 1: many crimes are being committed by people who.
Speaker 3: Should not be here.
Speaker 1: That's what's relevant, because no elected official can look a
Speaker 1: victim or a victim survivor in the eye and justify
Speaker 1: a crime committed by somebody who should not be here.
Speaker 1: So Gabe Evans has zeroed in on what really matters
Speaker 1: and what he has just uncovered, and you'll hear the
Speaker 1: rest of it is that, yes, of course, Johnston, Polis.
Speaker 3: All the other lefties in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Are covering up that key piece of information, how many
Speaker 1: crimes are being committed by people here illegally because they
Speaker 1: don't want you to know the truth. If you knew
Speaker 1: the truth, you would throw them out of office. That's
Speaker 1: what's going on here. So great job by Gabe Evans.
Speaker 1: Here's the rest of it.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Congressman.
Speaker 9: Right now, under city ordinance, we do not ask someone
Speaker 9: status a point of contact, and that does not prejudice
Speaker 9: in any way our prosecution.
Speaker 3: We believe it doesn't matters.
Speaker 4: We're saying from thank you, mister crime.
Speaker 3: So you're not aggressively redless.
Speaker 2: So you're not filling out the FBI fingerprint card is
Speaker 2: required right now.
Speaker 9: We are filling out information when folks arrive, and none
Speaker 9: of that information prevents us from prosecuting them to the
Speaker 9: full extent of the law, which is.
Speaker 4: What we do.
Speaker 3: Thank you, mister mayor.
Speaker 2: So not filling out the FBI fingerprint card, which would
Speaker 2: directly contradict your statement that you want people who are
Speaker 2: illegally present in the country and committing crimes to be
Speaker 2: held to account for those crimes, and I.
Speaker 1: Dropped the mic. That's absolutely brilliant. It proves the case.
Speaker 1: If we were in a court of law right now,
Speaker 1: Johnston would lose because Gabe Emans has proven Johnston is
Speaker 1: guilty of that.
Speaker 3: He's a total phony, a total lie.
Speaker 1: When he says that he wants to make sure that
Speaker 1: people here illegally you commit other crimes, are deported, he's
Speaker 1: lying about that because if he was telling the truth.
Speaker 1: Then he would lead the charge to have Denver police
Speaker 1: and other officials record the immigration status of those arrested
Speaker 1: for serious crimes.
Speaker 3: So this was absolutely brilliant by Gabe Evans.
Speaker 2: I think that the statistics that we've gone through in
Speaker 2: the space of crime show why Denver is specifically cratering
Speaker 2: in their public safety statistics as compared to major cities
Speaker 2: around the country.
Speaker 3: Actually false.
Speaker 2: I can show you my statistics, and as a police officer,
Speaker 2: I am here to make sure that we are uplifting
Speaker 2: the voices of the victims of these crimes who are
Speaker 2: being taken advantage of in communities that provide sanctuary to
Speaker 2: dangerous illegal criminal gangs like Trendy Argua, which your jail
Speaker 2: release just last week we talked about somebody back into
Speaker 2: the community. We must take care of our victims. I've
Speaker 2: brought legislation, the Uplift Act, to focus on this. We're
Speaker 2: here to protect the victims and Mayor I would ask
Speaker 2: you to join me on that we've already.
Speaker 3: That is absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1: And you know, one of the really cool things here
Speaker 1: is not only did we have a lot Republicans win
Speaker 1: and most critically gave in that very close race up
Speaker 1: there that was critical to control of the House. But
Speaker 1: they're really talented, they're different difference makers, they're effective, effective,
Speaker 1: and that's obviously great for America, but it's also great
Speaker 1: for the GOP in Colorado because you're electing impressive, effective people.
Speaker 1: That's going to help me get reelected. But obviously it's
Speaker 1: going to help. It's going to help the Republican Party statewide.
Speaker 1: How much depends on some other factors, but it is
Speaker 1: a big help. So that was absolutely brilliant. And then
Speaker 1: you look at the deception. There's so many layers of
Speaker 1: deception from Mayor Johnston in Denver, which is really sad
Speaker 1: to me because I've known him in terms of interviewing
Speaker 1: him on air a lot over the years and really
Speaker 1: liked him, and up to a certain point, I thought
Speaker 1: he was a straight shooter who just saw the world
Speaker 1: differently than me, and we had some great conversations. But
Speaker 1: I think he's really changed least in his political life,
Speaker 1: and he's now entered into this realm where he's willing
Speaker 1: to lie all the time, say these things that are
Speaker 1: absolutely false, never blink an eye. And my only thought is,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he doesn't care about this, but just
Speaker 1: kind of some sadness for him, right, because no matter
Speaker 1: how much power you gather anything else, that has to
Speaker 1: be a very sad way to live. And you have
Speaker 1: to know that eventually, eventually the anvil's going to drop,
Speaker 1: because if you live a lie, eventually then anvil drops.
Speaker 3: And so so a beautiful job there by Gabe.
Speaker 1: Now Gabe and that questioning have referred to this terrible
Speaker 1: position law enforcement. In this case, Ice was put in
Speaker 1: of having to chase this TDA gang member through a
Speaker 1: parking lot because Mayor Johnston in Denver, not our great
Speaker 1: Denver police.
Speaker 3: This is out of their hands. This is the left
Speaker 3: wing politicos.
Speaker 1: What would not sensibly cooperate with Ice to take a
Speaker 1: TDA member off the streets.
Speaker 3: I said to wait outside in the.
Speaker 1: Parking lot of the facility to get this guy as
Speaker 1: he came out, which obviously dramatically increases the risk to
Speaker 1: law enforcement. But it's just another just another way we
Speaker 1: can see that that clearly these lefties do not care
Speaker 1: about the great men and women in blue. And I
Speaker 1: know that's not breaking news, but it's worth remembering on
Speaker 1: a regular basis because one of these days the g
Speaker 1: and it might be in this cycle the GOP is
Speaker 1: going to have a shot at winning statewide a big race.
Speaker 1: Once it does, I think then the dam is going
Speaker 1: to break. And so reminding people of just the reality
Speaker 1: of these people on the left, I think is an
Speaker 1: important thing to do. Three or three someone three, eight, two, five,
Speaker 1: five the number text d an five, seven, seventh through nine.
Speaker 3: When we come back, I want to talk.
Speaker 1: About some things that excite me, hopefully we'll excite you,
Speaker 1: but some very real, practical paths to victory here. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's easy. I'm not saying it's slammed dunk.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be any fun if it was easy and
Speaker 1: slam dunk. But you know, the American Revolutionary War wasn't
Speaker 1: exactly easy. Wasn't slam dunk. What were the Vegas odds
Speaker 1: on that one?
Speaker 3: Do you remember?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: You can call it pretty poor? Washington sprung a big upset.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to remember where Vegas had that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Vegas wasn't there yet. But if they were there,
Speaker 1: they would have had the Patriots at what maybe ten
Speaker 1: to one against one hundred to one against. But there
Speaker 1: is a path. It's real it's concrete, it's creative, and
Speaker 1: when we come back, want to run if five, I
Speaker 1: see what you'd think.
Speaker 3: You're on the Dankapla show.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 10: And as they have decided to go after immigrants and
Speaker 10: these and things like that, and they said, oh, they've
Speaker 10: taken your black jobs.
Speaker 3: They'd taken you black jobs.
Speaker 10: Not really, they are obviously jobs that they want us
Speaker 10: to go back to, such as work in the fields.
Speaker 10: All right, those immigrants that come into our country, they
Speaker 10: work the fields, something that we ain't done in a
Speaker 10: long time. And clearly he is trying to make us
Speaker 10: go back to the fields.
Speaker 1: I love it when Democrats talk like that, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it just keeps getting better because we got to understand something.
Speaker 3: This is gravity. There is only so much. It's a lot, and.
Speaker 1: It's a lot more than we've done, but there's only
Speaker 1: so much we can do as conservatives to convert people
Speaker 1: to our costs. And the reason for that is because
Speaker 1: in it I was a Democrat for years, so I
Speaker 1: know of what I speak. The reason for that is
Speaker 1: there is such a deep, thick layer of just anti
Speaker 1: Republican stereotype out there that no matter how much we
Speaker 1: do for some humans, we will never be able to
Speaker 1: cut all the way through that wall. The Democrats are
Speaker 1: going to have to do it for us. Now, there's
Speaker 1: a lot we can do to persuade a lot of
Speaker 1: people that, don't get me wrong, But there's.
Speaker 3: A certain group and it's not a small one where only.
Speaker 1: The Democrats can cut through that wall for us, and
Speaker 1: so many of them are doing that for us. And
Speaker 1: so now part of it is you just have to
Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy this moment where Trump has broken
Speaker 1: their brains, They've been exposed, and now they're just floundering
Speaker 1: and doing crazy stuff like that because right Ryan, you've
Speaker 1: got the big money on the left, You've got their
Speaker 1: hardcore lefty constituents saying do something. You got to do something,
Speaker 1: do something. So they're throwing a lot of dumb punches
Speaker 1: instead of smart punches.
Speaker 7: Well, that would qualify what you just heard as a
Speaker 7: dumb punch, because I want to ask the fundamental question
Speaker 7: of you, Dan, why is it okay for illegals to
Speaker 7: come into this country and work in the fields. But
Speaker 7: that's beneath African Americans to work in the fields. But
Speaker 7: it's okay for illegals to be here work in the fields,
Speaker 7: do it for subpar wages, undercut the wages of legal Americans.
Speaker 1: Well, right, great point because listen, we all know what's
Speaker 1: going on, right, And it leads to another critical point
Speaker 1: about Mike Johnston. And what's going on is the Democrats
Speaker 1: don't give a darn about these folks south of the border.
Speaker 1: They see them as political pawns, and the Democrats don't
Speaker 1: think twice about luring them to make the long trip
Speaker 1: up where they know a lot of women and girls
Speaker 1: will be raped, they know that a lot of people
Speaker 1: will be murdered, and the Democrats don't care at all
Speaker 1: about the humanity of those people.
Speaker 3: They view them as political pawns, as future votes. So
Speaker 3: they just use this magnet to.
Speaker 1: Suck everybody up through the border, knowing before Trump got
Speaker 1: elected there's going to be a huge number of folks
Speaker 1: who are coming in unvetted with serious criminal histories, in
Speaker 1: addition to a very large number of people who are
Speaker 1: otherwise good people. But the Democrats just don't care about
Speaker 1: the humanity of the people they're attracting up through the border.
Speaker 1: And this brings us back to Mike Johnston. The mayor
Speaker 1: of Denver, who I believe just so phony when it
Speaker 1: comes to this pretend concern for people coming here illegally,
Speaker 1: because if he really cared about the humanity of those folks,
Speaker 1: he would be with Lauren Bobert and Ryan Shuling and
Speaker 1: you and me and everybody in leading the charge to
Speaker 1: make sure that people here illegally who are committing other
Speaker 1: crimes are busted, they're jailed, they're turned over to ICE.
Speaker 3: He'd be leading the charge. Here's why, because a.
Speaker 1: Lot of the victims of people here illegally you are
Speaker 1: committing other crimes, are people here illegally.
Speaker 3: So if Mike Johnston really gave a.
Speaker 1: Darn about the people here illegally who are not committing crimes,
Speaker 1: he would be working with us to hammer those who are.
Speaker 4: But not for them and the laft.
Speaker 1: All they see these people as is numbers, as future votes.
Speaker 4: And you don't need any more proof than that.
Speaker 1: Bill Hick and Luper and Vented are pushing right that
Speaker 1: says ICE can't detain any buddy here illegally at a
Speaker 1: polling place.
Speaker 4: And it's further down the road of the ugliness. That
Speaker 4: is an ugly remark you just.
Speaker 7: Heard from Representative Jasmine Crockett Dan because it says the
Speaker 7: quiet part out loud. They want to create a permanent
Speaker 7: underclass dependent on the government, scared out of their minds,
Speaker 7: working for cut rate wages, which undermines the very union
Speaker 7: workers and organized labor that the Left pretends to endorse.
Speaker 4: And they're doing it.
Speaker 7: Again in a way that does not respect the dignity,
Speaker 7: the humanity of those coming across our border illegally.
Speaker 4: They just view them, like you said, as a number.
Speaker 1: Well, whatever Democrat understands, including Representative Crocket, is that the
Speaker 1: very existence and survival of the Left is dependent upon
Speaker 1: keeping Black Americans down economically, and keeping Brown Americans down
Speaker 1: economically because they know, and keeping some other Americans down economically,
Speaker 1: because the left knows that as soon as people start
Speaker 1: making and I think the current number is probably close
Speaker 1: to seventy thousand, seventy thousand or more, a majority are
Speaker 1: going to vote Republican. So they're very survival. Tink about
Speaker 1: how pervers this is depends upon keeping all these people down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's again why you should be so optimistic that
Speaker 1: this trend.
Speaker 3: Line is going to continue.
Speaker 1: You know, a few bumps down there, but this trend
Speaker 1: line is going to continue, and the Democrats are going
Speaker 1: to continue to get shrunken and marginalized and Conservatism growing
Speaker 1: because the big tipping point, and you can see they're
Speaker 1: scared to death of it now. Right on the left,
Speaker 1: the big tipping point is going to be with people
Speaker 1: of color, when more and more folks just understand what
Speaker 1: the left is really doing to them.
Speaker 3: And the combination, Ryan, I think this is so critical.
Speaker 1: It's a combination not only of that, but but also
Speaker 1: of the GOP being more appealing. And let me throw
Speaker 1: this out there for folks to shoot at. I don't
Speaker 1: think the GOP in my entire lifetime.
Speaker 3: Has ever been a fraction a fraction as strong as
Speaker 3: it is right now.
Speaker 1: I think there is ten times more really appealing elite
Speaker 1: talent in the GOP than we have ever seen in
Speaker 1: my lifetime before. And I think Trump deserves an awful
Speaker 1: lot of that credit. But when have we ever seen this? Right?
Speaker 1: And we get a little tunnel vision and we get
Speaker 1: zoomed in on the bench, the presidential bench, right, and
Speaker 1: that's the biggest bench we've ever seen in our lifetimes.
Speaker 1: And when we talk about diversity, I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: race or gender. I'm just talking different types of talent diversity. Now,
Speaker 1: you happen to have a lot of race and gender
Speaker 1: diversity in there. But think about how deep that presidential
Speaker 1: bench is heading into twenty eight, which really begins in
Speaker 1: twenty But then you go beyond that and you start
Speaker 1: to drill down. I mean, just look at the congressional
Speaker 1: delegation right look at Colorado. Right now, look at the
Speaker 1: talent in that congressional delegation in Coloradoh yeah, And so
Speaker 1: you see the GOP just presenting such a more appealing
Speaker 1: alternative to so many folks who traditionally vote Democrat, including
Speaker 1: a lot of folks of color.
Speaker 3: It's combined with the Democrats just kind of imploding and screwing.
Speaker 7: People at color I mean, they are their own worst enemies,
Speaker 7: and Jazz and Crockett just proved that once again. But
Speaker 7: it's a miracle, nothing short of it, Dan, that we
Speaker 7: have a four and four House delegation from Colorado in
Speaker 7: the Congress with Gabe Evans and Jeff Hurd and Jeff
Speaker 7: Crank and Lauren Bobert. And further to your point, even
Speaker 7: back in the eighties, the Helsionic days, for most of
Speaker 7: us that started following politics as gen xers in the
Speaker 7: Reagan years.
Speaker 4: He never had unified government.
Speaker 7: He never had a Republican Congress, of the Republican House
Speaker 7: and a Republican Senate. He had to kind of make
Speaker 7: deals with Tip O'Neil and Democrat controlled House. The fact
Speaker 7: that the Republicans currently hold all three of those, the House,
Speaker 7: the Senate, the Presidency, and continuing down this road, That's
Speaker 7: why I hope so much, Dan, that over these next
Speaker 7: two years that Trump can have just a wave of
Speaker 7: successes that will bolster his argument of holding on to
Speaker 7: power in the United States government.
Speaker 1: And nothing's guarantee guarantee, but I think that's almost guaranteed
Speaker 1: at this point, right. I mean, everybody's nervous about the
Speaker 1: terrorists and the market and the this and the that.
Speaker 1: That there is every reason to trust Trump on this
Speaker 1: right based on the first term, and I think he
Speaker 1: has thought much more deeply about this than most people.
Speaker 1: But he's willing to do more, to do more dramatically,
Speaker 1: to do more boldly. That presents the chance for some
Speaker 1: truly transformational change, and we saw enough of that in
Speaker 1: the first term. I'm talking about economically now that I'm
Speaker 1: very optimistic. We'll see it again in this second term,
Speaker 1: so so many reasons to be optimistic. We're just enjoying
Speaker 1: all of this today A d An five seven seventeen nine.
Speaker 1: When we come back, all right, Michael Bennett, all signs
Speaker 1: are that he's going to enter the governor's race in Colorado.
Speaker 3: How do you think that's going to go?
Speaker 4: You're on the Dan.
Speaker 3: Capla Show, No impact traffic.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 11: Media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying
Speaker 11: we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure
Speaker 11: the border. But it turned out that all we really
Speaker 11: needed was a new president.
Speaker 3: One of the great.
Speaker 4: Lines of the right because it's.
Speaker 1: It's so obviously true, and it's so important, and it
Speaker 1: just exposes the Democrats as the liars they are, and
Speaker 1: which ties into and Ryan. I don't know if anybody
Speaker 1: has any interest in this whatsoever, which is really intriguing
Speaker 1: to me, because every time we try to talk about
Speaker 1: the Colorado governor's race that's on right now, nobody's interested.
Speaker 1: Nobody's interested, and it wasn't that way in the past.
Speaker 1: So I wonder what that is. Maybe people will want
Speaker 1: to talk about why nobody's interested, But truly nobody's interested.
Speaker 1: Bennett now making all this noise, looks like he's going
Speaker 1: to get in.
Speaker 3: I'd love to get somebody's take on this.
Speaker 1: And why do you think at this point there appears
Speaker 1: to be so little interest in the governor's race?
Speaker 3: Is it too far away? Do people just think, hey,
Speaker 3: some Democrats going to win? So why bother?
Speaker 7: What do you think it is well for our audience?
Speaker 7: For me, we don't have a Republican nominee, do we
Speaker 7: or a candidate that's declared a Republican.
Speaker 3: I thought I thought Scott Bottoms had declared you're correct.
Speaker 4: Okay, Scott Bob, that is one you are correct, sir,
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 7: But on the left even I mean Phil none the wiser,
Speaker 7: I trademarked the name that was mine and no, it's
Speaker 7: Michael Bennett's totally mine.
Speaker 3: One D called that since he went to pre K.
Speaker 4: So, Michael Bennett. You think Jenna Griswold will run?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Has she declared? Has she gotten out in public?
Speaker 3: But she's in?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 4: I mean, there's just no way she could. Anybody that
Speaker 4: would give a.
Speaker 1: Doptions, there's no way she can win family if you've
Speaker 1: ever heard of identity politics. I mean, that's what the
Speaker 1: Democrats are all about. They're the opposite of doctor King.
Speaker 1: It's not about merit, it's about identity politics.
Speaker 4: She is so unqualified.
Speaker 1: But if you're the Democratic Party, look at it, right,
Speaker 1: because right now they're they're flailing because they're getting exposed, right,
Speaker 1: and so they're so high and mighty DEI all that,
Speaker 1: and almost all the top jobs are boring old white guys.
Speaker 1: So you know you isn't a boring ol whica. You
Speaker 1: and I both agree, right, if he runs, it's his
Speaker 1: I think he's the most formidable candidate. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: don't think. But what a great question.
Speaker 4: You see.
Speaker 1: I don't think Bennett makes this noise about getting in
Speaker 1: unless he thinks Goose is not, or maybe it's designed
Speaker 1: to just force no Goose's hand box him out, or
Speaker 1: to force his hand, because I think everybody acknowledges if
Speaker 1: Joan no Goose gets in on the dem side, hes
Speaker 1: he's almost certain to be the nominee.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: What about the criss cross effect here?
Speaker 7: Though maybe they are in cahoots Bennett and a Goose
Speaker 7: meaning Bennett runs for governor.
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, Joan A. Goose slides into
Speaker 4: that Senate seat.
Speaker 3: It challenges Hick and Looper in a primary.
Speaker 4: No, Bennett's seat, Bennet woul happen?
Speaker 1: Well, right, Panda, the seat, wouldn't he No, right, Well,
Speaker 1: that's a great question, but he wouldn't have to Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing there now?
Speaker 3: Why them?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Why should he?
Speaker 1: But I mean it's a good question as to whether
Speaker 1: he would or not. Right, But you could see where
Speaker 1: the play there might be because if my mask's right,
Speaker 1: Bennett's up in twenty eight, right, So we're talking about
Speaker 1: the twenty six governor's race. So Bennett stays in the
Speaker 1: Senate through the campaign, and then if he wins, hicken
Speaker 1: Looper appoints himself to that Senate seat and serves out
Speaker 1: the last two years, appoint pol Us appoints did I say,
Speaker 1: Hick and they're all the same. Yeah, and they're starting
Speaker 1: to look the same too. But but and I'm referring
Speaker 1: to Polus and Hick and lu print Bennett. So then yeah,
Speaker 1: so if my masks right, if Bennett holds onto the
Speaker 1: Senate seat while he runs for governor, he might not,
Speaker 1: but if he does, then Bennett wins, Polus appoints himself
Speaker 1: to Bennett's the last two years of Bennett's Senate seat,
Speaker 1: and then runs for it. Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I mean anyway that it's very clear we're
Speaker 3: the only two people who care at all about that.
Speaker 1: I'm at least somewhat, but nobody has any interest in
Speaker 1: the governor's race.
Speaker 4: You decline something, Yeah, oh, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Let's see, it's interesting we're starting to get some texts
Speaker 1: that are anti Justice Barrett, right, because I know, we
Speaker 1: just had this very surprising Scotus decision where Justice Barrett
Speaker 1: went against most of the other Conservatives and said that
Speaker 1: a federal court judge, trial court level.
Speaker 3: Judge, and you know that's a very very big deal
Speaker 3: in any.
Speaker 1: System, including the federal system, upheld that judge in forcing
Speaker 1: Trump to issue two billion dollars in foreign aid payments.
Speaker 3: That was a very surprising ruling.
Speaker 1: And so I know that any MacArthur who just knows
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court inside and out thought for sure it
Speaker 1: was going the other way. Obviously, Justice Alito was apoplectic
Speaker 1: over it in his dissent, and so we're starting to
Speaker 1: get a bunch of those texts. Now, what I would
Speaker 1: suggest is, don't give up. Don't give up confidence in
Speaker 1: Justice Barrett, hoping Justice Barrett, I think it's one of
Speaker 1: the very best appointments ever. And what I read into
Speaker 1: I think we know now Ryan, right, why on Tuesday
Speaker 1: night at the President's addressed to Congress there were only
Speaker 1: four sitting Supreme Court Justice members there, right, Because I
Speaker 1: think you had others who knew this opinion was coming
Speaker 1: down the next day and they were angry about it,
Speaker 1: and they weren't going to sit there at the President's address,
Speaker 1: and it appear to be phonies.
Speaker 3: I think they were upset about that decision.
Speaker 7: Yeah, trying to remember Barrett was there, Kagan was there,
Speaker 7: Chief was there, The retired Justice Anthony Kennedy was there.
Speaker 4: It was interesting, right, and the Chief John Robins was there.
Speaker 2: That was that it.
Speaker 3: But I was wondering that night, why are there only four?
Speaker 1: And then the next morning it became clear because this
Speaker 1: very surprising ruling against Trump was coming down, and I
Speaker 1: think I think Justice Gorsich was not there the.
Speaker 3: Other night, et cetera.
Speaker 4: Kavanaugh was there here, right, right, I think you had
Speaker 4: some justices who just, you know, does it surprise you?
Speaker 7: And it does me that Amy Cony Barrett is becoming
Speaker 7: more of a problem than we even thought Brett Kavanaugh.
Speaker 3: Was going to be.
Speaker 1: Well, Listen, I don't want to say problem right because
Speaker 1: I get it. All I'm saying is I admire her
Speaker 1: in some many different ways. I think she's a brilliant
Speaker 1: legal mind. I think she's a very courageous originalist jurist,
Speaker 1: and so I don't read some of these opinions where
Speaker 1: I would have gone the other way as somehow alarming
Speaker 1: or concerning. She strikes me as the last justice on
Speaker 1: the face of the earth, or the last judge on
Speaker 1: the face of the earth, who's going to get swept
Speaker 1: away in wanting to impress the East coast to lead
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I think you've got somebody of
Speaker 1: deep faith who just feels this obligation to follow the
Speaker 1: law as she sees it, no matter where it leads her.
Speaker 1: But no, I'm very very happy that she got appointed,
Speaker 1: and I'm optimistic about the future with her. I know
Speaker 1: others disagree. We'll take those calls as well. And when
Speaker 1: we come back another topic, how do you explain the
Speaker 1: huge turnout on ASH Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Is the world changing
