We're into that 6 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.320 glorious springtime weather, right, and part of the beauty of 7 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.160 it is every now and then you get a curve 8 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.920 like Friday, it's going to be forty degrees for a high, 9 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.920 probably some snow too. Saturday, little chopp people get some 10 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.960 sun in there. Easter Sunday fortunately looks like a bunch 11 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.039 of sun, low sixties that being in the Denver metro area, 12 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.600 but kind of mirrored throughout the states. 13 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.560 So yeah, nice nice weather ahead. 14 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.159 Two three is someone three eight two five five text 15 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.759 d an five seven seven thry nine. It's such a 16 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.320 fun time of the year, isn't it, Because you're starting 17 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.200 to get this good weather and then you know it's 18 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.719 summer ahead. It's not like fall when you get all 19 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:51.640 that good weather, which you enjoy, but then you know 20 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.240 winter is coming, right, But no, now the good stuff's 21 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.280 I had and it's getting interesting for the first time 22 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:04.120 anybody's interesting besides Ryan and me in the Colorado Governor's race, 23 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.760 in the Colorado Center race, because now people are starting 24 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.159 to see what I've been talking about for a long time. 25 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.599 The GOP does have a chance here. They do have 26 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:13.480 a chance here. 27 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.840 And then that chance has been created by Michael Bennett, 28 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.519 the presumptive Democrat. 29 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:20.519 He just the epitome. 30 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:25.200 He always has the epitome of East Coast you know, elitism, 31 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.640 silver spoonism, but now. 32 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.480 He adds to it a level of arrogance. 33 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.359 I don't think Ryan, we have seen in Colorado politics, 34 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.680 at least not in our lifetimes. Now people could argue, right, 35 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.159 I mean, Jared paul is coming out and cursing at 36 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:39.799 the people of. 37 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.359 The state and stuff like that. 38 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.359 You know, he's obviously a snob, but he tries to pretend, 39 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.920 at least he tries to pretend not to be and. 40 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.120 To be some kind of regular guy. 41 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.439 Like remember that spot with the goofiest looking like Little 42 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.959 League helmet he wore playing softball in a commercial. Oh wow, 43 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:00.959 probably the first time he ever swung a bad which 44 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:01.480 doesn't make. 45 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:02.200 Him a bad guy. 46 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.599 But don't don't do a spot saying you're a softball 47 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.000 player when you're not, because I guarantee this as a 48 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.039 guy who used to play one hundred games a year 49 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.240 of competitive softball, nobody would ever wear a helmet, let 50 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.800 alone that helmet. So yeah, but anyway, at least he 51 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.960 pretended Bennett. If Bennett had three arms, he'd be given 52 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.520 three middle fingers. He's just out there, just. 53 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.080 Just owning the arrogance, owning the entitlement. I'm gonnae on 54 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.719 the Senate and I gotta appoint my own successor. 55 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.360 Now I'm going to execute everybody who ran against me. 56 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.479 I mean, it's it's a remarkable thing to behold. So 57 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.719 it's creating a lot of excitement on the GOP side, because, hey, 58 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.919 when you're the presumptive Democrat nominee and the Denver Post, 59 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.759 which and I love a lot of people there but 60 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.800 usually functions as an arm of the Democratic Party, you're 61 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.319 the presumptive Democrat nominee for governor and the Denver Post 62 00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.960 is rightly hammering you on your second day in the race. 63 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.840 Yeah, that bodes well for the GOP. Will it be enough? 64 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.599 No, GOP has to get a real good candidate and 65 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.000 then they're gonna have. GOP is probably gonna have at 66 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.719 least five, probably ten credible candidates in the primary, especially 67 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.360 with this Bennette stuff. So then the big challenge is 68 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.919 going to be the GOP nominating the right person, but 69 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.560 then rallying behind him or her. That's going to be 70 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.400 the challenge, right, because you know how it normally works, right, right, 71 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.840 the losers they kind of say the right thing, but 72 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:35.520 then it's and people really don't enthusiastically support and sometimes 73 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.960 enthusiastically try to undermine the people who won the primary, 74 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.000 and this time around, yeah, that would be unfortunate because 75 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.319 there's a real chance here. So we got that to 76 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.520 talk about so much more as well. Jes See, Caraveo 77 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.919 is getting back in the race. She wants to take 78 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.759 on Gabe Evans again, says, hey, the last race was 79 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.280 a tough time for Dems. Think so, yeah, why weren't 80 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.960 you out there condemning Biden? And she says this is 81 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.199 going to be a better environment. Well, it probably will be, right, 82 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.759 mid term party out of power, party in power, that's 83 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.120 usually tough on their candidates in the midterm. 84 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.479 Yeah, no question about that. But she's also going to 85 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.759 have a primary because there's a guy up there. 86 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.000 If you're into that lefty stuff, an impressive guy who's 87 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.240 already in that dem primary. So we'll keep an eye 88 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.480 on that one. But so interesting she'd want back in, right, 89 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.240 because didn't we hear all those years we heard about 90 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.439 a great doctor, this family doctor, loved that love caring 91 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.920 for families, but apparently wants to get back into this. 92 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.480 Makes you wonder too, Dan, doesn't it about that eighth 93 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.839 Congressional district, which is so pivotal, so critical, so important 94 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.079 in this past election the upcoming one it will be 95 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.279 as well? Is that the best they've got in the 96 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.480 eighth district for the Democrats? Is there any other Democrats? No, 97 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.240 I can be a better candidate than your dear Caraveo. 98 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:53.639 Yeah, and I think most people can be. 99 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.360 And that's nothing personal, no, right, right, And she had 100 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.600 a chance, man, she had a chance to really be spectacular. 101 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.560 I don't doubt she's a fine doctor in certain ways, 102 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.160 but she had a chance to really be spectacular. And remember, 103 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.959 she came out, she came out and was speaking the 104 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.959 truth on marijuana, and then she got pounded down by 105 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.439 the left so fast and just didn't have the guts 106 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.240 to stand up to him and say no, that the 107 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.000 health of these kids is more important than my political career. 108 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.120 And so she folded on that. But she she had 109 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.319 the right idea on dope, and she had a chance 110 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.839 to really be special there, because come on, the people 111 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.199 who do you remember, right, you remember the people who 112 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.759 are willing to sacrifice it all to do the right thing, 113 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.240 sacrifice it all for something more important than themselves, for 114 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.319 something bigger than themselves. And she had that chance, and 115 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.560 she folded. You know, that's part of Trump's tremendous appeal. 116 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.959 He went out there, this great comfortable life everything else, 117 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.920 he went out there and he laid his life on 118 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.279 the line to serve and that that's part of his appeal. 119 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.959 Dan Bennett is in a real conundrum right now. An 120 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.040 underused word rhying conundrn. You don't use it, not enough. 121 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.439 You use every word some things that aren't. 122 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.079 Words that aren't unairworthy of it. 123 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.800 Sure, Bennett. Yeah, And that's really expanding now. It's too bad, 124 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.959 isn't it. Things are getting more and more crass. I'm 125 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.040 guilty of that sometimes I'm going on. 126 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.399 The air though. But you're right. 127 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.199 In general discourse with the especially members of the left 128 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.959 that are speaking out against Trump or Tesla or elon 129 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.199 a lot of profanity. 130 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.399 But even with me, I mean I never before, like 131 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.160 in my first ten or twenty years on air, would 132 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.079 have said crap. And I don't like it when I 133 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.519 say it, and I'm not going to say it again. 134 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.600 I'm not trying to be some goodie two shoes. You 135 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.959 know what happens during breaks and stuff? Oh yeah, man, 136 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.519 if we could have broadcast the Brakes in the Capitalists 137 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:49.319 and Silverman. 138 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.279 Show, oh boy, oh my buddyness. 139 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.480 Wow. You know, if we'd been on satellite, that probably 140 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.079 would have been the number one show in the country. 141 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.160 It would have been the number one show in the country. 142 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.240 It would have ben What do they call those things 143 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.600 when it's kind of a wrap off? What do they 144 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:04.319 call those things? 145 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.639 Yeah? This track or no no no, no, no no, yeah, 146 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.279 like an eight mile of M and M. Yeah, I 147 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.720 got ya. I don't know what that is, but anyway, 148 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:14.319 the movie. 149 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.040 But yeah, but that's what happened during those breaks, and 150 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.639 the combinations of words not fit for public consumption were 151 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.279 pretty remarkable. 152 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.240 For all of us involved. Dan Bennett's in a real conundrum. 153 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.879 What literally did in the Senate. I believe he voted 154 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.439 with Biden like ninety eight percent of the time. Now 155 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:34.040 he can only. 156 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:37.120 Vote opposite of Trump, which puts him getting things wrong 157 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.079 eighty to ninety percent of the time would be. 158 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.160 Very bad for Colorado. 159 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.920 Well, that that is such an important point, and that's 160 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:48.040 the thing, is the left versus right thing. Okay, that 161 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.079 matters to a certain extent in Colorado, right, But unfortunately, 162 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.959 what we've seen is it doesn't matter enough because we 163 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.040 saw in that last cycle. 164 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.720 Right that you can you can be told totally. 165 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.879 Trashing this state and all the way the Democrats are 166 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.600 the last state wide cycle and they're still going to 167 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.319 win by a comfortable margin. And a lot of that 168 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.920 is because of negative perception of the GOP. That's just 169 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.160 kind of baked in. So you need something dramatic to 170 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.600 change that. So the left versus right thing alone is 171 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.120 not going to get the GOP there. 172 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.560 It's going to take more. It's going to take more, and. 173 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:26.240 The starting point is a really unappealing Democrat candidate in 174 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.839 Michael Bennett, and not just really unappealing to Republicans and 175 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.799 hopefully a lot unaffiliateds, but he's going to be really 176 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.720 unappealing to a lot of Democrats. So that's what you 177 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.559 need to start. And then of course the gops to 178 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.600 get their thing rights. So yeah, the left versus the 179 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.919 right thing. But come on now, and it's tough because 180 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.320 the media extension of the dem Party, so they won't 181 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.159 put a lot of pressure on him. But you got 182 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.440 a zero in on some of those eighty twenty ninety 183 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:59.759 ten issues. You know, men in women's sports, men in 184 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.399 girls bathrooms and showers, you know, issues like that that 185 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.799 really are important on their face and tell the public 186 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.240 who you really are. So yeah, a lot of opportunity there. 187 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:17.720 So Dan not getting emotional. It's the peanut butter. Very 188 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.480 smart move to get addicted to peanut butter. When you're 189 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.879 a talk show stan listening to Michael Bennett telling you 190 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.840 what time it is is painful. It takes five minutes, 191 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.039 and he's slow as a dead turtle. Hearing him with turtle, 192 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.200 Hearing him speak is slow and difficult. This comes back 193 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.279 to a key point. Okay, separate from the left and 194 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.759 right stuff, and Colorado's more left than right right now, 195 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.519 but can be persuaded, I think enough people, but separate 196 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:46.759 from the left and right stuff. When it comes to governor, 197 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.399 people want somebody skilled. People want somebody with the skill 198 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.759 set for that job. Because in that job, right that 199 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.759 they're going to be the crisis, there are going to 200 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.679 be the natural disasters, they are going to be all 201 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.519 this other stuff where you just need somebody as the 202 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.919 skills for the job, and clearly he does not, and 203 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:06.759 that's proven by what. 204 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.159 He's done in the job he's had. 205 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.559 So again, that may be the thing close second to 206 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.240 just the incredibly stunning elitism and arrogance, but that may 207 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.480 be the thing that really opens the door for the GOP. 208 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.240 The guy clearly doesn't have the skills. 209 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.600 You're on the Dan Caplis Show, and now back to 210 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.240 the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 211 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.600 You don't like one of those magic moments two issues 212 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.679 on the Secretary of State making a comment. 213 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.799 The reason the administration believes they got a big win 214 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.120 at the Supreme Court is because the district court was 215 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.440 trying to compel the executive on foreign affairs. 216 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.679 The Supreme Court through that out. 217 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:46.399 That's not what the Supreme Court has ruled, and what 218 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.120 Marco Rubio is saying is true. The courts have long 219 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:53.240 recognized that they cannot compel the executive on foreign policy matters. 220 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:54.039 That's number one. 221 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:59.159 Number two, What they also believe is that politically, the 222 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.200 American people want them to be as aggressive as possible 223 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.799 and pull all the levers they can pull to solve 224 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.399 the crisis that has festered for years. And you know 225 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.039 that we keep calling this guy marilynd Man in the press. 226 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:11.720 Nobody seems to worry about. 227 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.600 The Maryland mother, Rachel Morin, who was murdered by someone 228 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.039 that the previous administration let out of jail. 229 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.960 But this is a vier. 230 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:23.919 Scott Jennings nailed it. 231 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.679 And one of the things that's so striking right is 232 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.720 you see all these different polls, and they're all from 233 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.720 the left that show way over fifty percent support for 234 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.919 deporting everyone here illegally. Obviously we're up into the eighty 235 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.200 ninety support range for deporting those here illegally who commit crimes, 236 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.600 but strong majority plus support for deporting everybody here illegally. 237 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.519 So the Democrats can go out there and do what 238 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.679 they're doing now and just try to make heroes out 239 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.000 of all these people here illegally committing other crimes, MS 240 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.120 thirteen gang members, everything else, and try to make that 241 00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:58.919 their cause. 242 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.559 And please, I'll send the limo for you, literally. 243 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.519 Because all you're doing is helping elect more Republicans and 244 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.279 you're not going to slow Trump down on that. 245 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:09.200 That's for darn sure. 246 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.399 Three or three seven, three eight two five to five 247 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.639 the number, which is another reason TEXTDA and five seven 248 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.799 seven three nine to be really excited if if you're 249 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.039 a conservative like me, be really excited about Michael Bennett 250 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.720 as the DEM candidate for governor because he has a 251 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:29.200 history of far far, far left commitment to open borders, 252 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.240 to to not deporting people here illegally who have committed 253 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.080 other crimes. 254 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.039 I mean, it's yeah, he is. 255 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.559 He is extremely vulnerable and now I understand, under the 256 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.440 best of circumstances it's a big, uphill battle for the 257 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:46.960 GOP nominee. But but there is a real shot here. 258 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:51.600 Thank you Michael Bennett and the left for that. Dan, 259 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.519 I actually think you're right about Bennett. But curious if 260 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.399 you got the courage to chat about the bond market 261 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.960 and now Trump mucked up our economy. Oh my goodness, 262 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.320 my friend, are you watching the same stuff I'm watching? 263 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.200 Wait a second, when it comes to the economy. I mean, 264 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.200 you look at his first term prior to COVID. It 265 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.360 tells you what you need to know about his ability 266 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.519 to do that. But also my goodness, we're what a 267 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.840 month or two into this, and we just all know 268 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:22.960 that the only way, the only way to change course 269 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.399 and to steer away from this fiscal cliff we're headed 270 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.559 for is some dramatic action. And Trump has a courage 271 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.080 to do that, and I trusted him on this. Nothing's 272 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.879 guaranteed to work, right, but what we are guaranteed to 273 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.960 do is crash if we stay on the course we're on. 274 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.360 And he has the guts to try something dramatic. And 275 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.559 by the way, if it matters to anybody, it happens 276 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.519 to be exactly what he told the people he would 277 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.919 do when he ran for office, right, which is not 278 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.679 what you get from these Democrats. You know, they run 279 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:55.399 for office trying to sound like some kind of moderate 280 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.720 and then they get elected and it's you know, they're 281 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.960 left to Bernie Sanders. Literally right now under Jared Polis, 282 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:06.240 Colorado is left of California in some very significant ways. 283 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.200 Fortunately not yet. The statue. 284 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.000 Did you see the statue Ryan in San Francisco? No 285 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.159 over four stories tall? Of what just think about it 286 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.240 for a second. It's San Francisco, It's true, this exists. Okay, 287 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.200 over four stories tall? What do you think it's. 288 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.720 Of a large Is this the one of a large women? 289 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:25.679 Naked? 290 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:29.120 Naked? Fuck naked? Did you see the worker that had 291 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.960 to go through a certain area? Oh, don't say it. 292 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.960 I don't need that on the statue, right, but I 293 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.000 don't need the statue. 294 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.480 I don't need that. What if it was Blucifer, I 295 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:40.480 don't need that in my head. 296 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.000 That's a great topic, that's a great top because you 297 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:48.200 talk about a monument to the arrogance of the left. 298 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.639 Ooh nice, right, yeah, old maths out at Dia. You've 299 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.519 got this great state of Colorado, one of the most 300 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.320 beautiful places on God's Earth, and you've got the people 301 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.440 of Colorado are rich, Western heritage, everything else. And what 302 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.159 does the left decide they're going to put up in 303 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.320 the most prominent place at Dia, where millions. 304 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.279 Of people go each year and millions of people visiting 305 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:12.240 flow through. What do they decide to. 306 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.200 Put up a monument to drug use? It is a 307 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.200 horse on meth and it's ugly. No offense to the 308 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.440 deceased sculptor at all, but it's ugly. 309 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.919 It's horse bought ugly. 310 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.080 But that's the left, right, If we like it, If 311 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:34.919 normal people like us like art, then it's garbage, right, 312 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.919 it's garbage because we're peons. 313 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.000 What would you put up there? I'd love to get 314 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:40.559 your take on this. 315 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:42.679 Three or three someone three eight two five five text 316 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:44.559 Dan five seven seven three nine. 317 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.759 What should be in that spot? 318 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.320 The single most prominent spot in the state of Colorado 319 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:53.320 for a piece of public art. What should be in 320 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.679 that spot? What should replace old myth? And Ryan, you 321 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:01.000 talk about an issue across party lines. Yeah, getting rid 322 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.240 of old meth is one of those. I guarantee you that. 323 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.879 But what should replace it? 324 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:07.720 Dan? 325 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.600 How about a Bennett Buck rematch? I'm not betting a 326 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.639 buck on that, are you. 327 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.679 I'm glad that Texter brought it up because I think 328 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.440 ken Buck won himself some favor with those that. 329 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.759 Hate Trump on the left. 330 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.159 But it goes back to our Joe O'Day analysis, which 331 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.960 is you can try to make the other side like you, 332 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.759 but you're just going to be a light version of 333 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.720 what they already are the Democratic Party. 334 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.320 And he's lost any and all support of the Trump 335 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.879 base here. Well, yeah, you know. 336 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.759 To me, the unfortunate thing is ken Buck I think 337 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.200 would have been a tremendous US senator at the time 338 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.080 he ran against Michael Bennett and he had him beat. 339 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:44.240 He flat head him beat. 340 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.279 I remember talking to Ken, called him the Friday night 341 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:50.919 before election day, just to tell him what a great 342 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.279 race he'd well run. I mean, there was obviously that 343 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.200 hiccup on meet the press, but just encourage him. And 344 00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.960 I had every expectation he was going to win that race, 345 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.400 and he came so close. And the Ken Buck of 346 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.720 that era, he would have been a tremendous US Senator. 347 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.440 So yeah, very very unfortunate. And what's even more unfortunate 348 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.640 is that Jane Norton wasn't our US senator because she 349 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:17.519 was in that same cycle. I can't remember. I think 350 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.880 it was the ten cycle. She would have been a 351 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.880 superstar US senator. And if Jane Norton that she lost 352 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.480 a very close primary to Ken. If Jane had won 353 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.359 that primary, well she would have and Michael Bennett's team 354 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.920 will tell you they've told me she would have beat 355 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.240 him by eight points. It she would have not only 356 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.160 been a tremendous US centator, Jane Norton would have become 357 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:42.279 the face of the GOP in Colorado. 358 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.839 And it just would have been a whole different era. 359 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.680 Moving forward, but that's life, right, I mean so close, 360 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.079 just a game of inches. 361 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.960 But she would have been phenomenal and Ken would have 362 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.759 been a great senator and lost to Bennett by a hair. 363 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:01.240 Well, there's a real chance to beat Michael Bennett. Now 364 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:02.680 you're on the Dan Kaplis Show. 365 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.920 You're listening to The Dan Kaplis Show Podcast one, My friend, Yeah, 366 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:14.400 we just cut our promo for tomorrow. 367 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.559 We're going to be talking about what we should replace 368 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.599 old mes with. Right, because it's time. I don't care 369 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.480 if we need a ballot measure statewide. 370 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:28.079 It is time. That hideous, that hideous work of public 371 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.920 art out at DiiA, which again is the left double 372 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.880 middle finger to the rest of the state, because there 373 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.599 can't be five people outside of the deceased sculpture's family. 374 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:38.440 God rest his soul. 375 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.519 I understand a good man and a talented artist who 376 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.200 just had an off day with that thing. But yeah, yeah, 377 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.039 there can't be five people in the state who like 378 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.400 that thing. But obviously, these elitist on the left. If 379 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.440 we like something, if normal people across party lines like something, 380 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.400 it's trash, it's garbage because we're just normal people. 381 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.039 But what should it be? What should it be. We'll 382 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.400 talk about that more detail tomorrow, but I'd love your 383 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.079 thoughts today. 384 00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:09.920 It bears repeating too, Dan that that monstrosity that statue 385 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.920 killed the sculptor himself. 386 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.640 So sad fell on him, so killed him. That should 387 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.720 have been an omen right there. Oh it yeah, so sad, 388 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:18.640 so sad. 389 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:20.960 But who would What I'd love to know is who 390 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.799 in the right mind could ever think that look good 391 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.000 or that that represented us? Because you know what, and 392 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.680 that's part of the arrogance too. And what God is 393 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:34.000 talking about arrogance today is is my belief that this 394 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.519 bizarre entitlement power played by Michael Bennett that even the 395 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.039 Denver post is hammered in his second day in the race, 396 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.960 is the single most arrogant political move in Colorado history. 397 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:48.000 And that's saying a lot when you've just had eight 398 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.079 years of kind of the ultimate snobb Jared Polis. But 399 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.480 but Poulus would at least try to pretend at times 400 00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.039 that he wasn't. Bennett's just sticking it right in everybody's face. 401 00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.599
