Speaker 1: This is Dan Capless and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Boy, you've got
Speaker 1: to be feeling it now, right. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's the perfect weather out there, if it's that Wow,
Speaker 1: we're finally inside of a week, right, so think about it.
Speaker 1: A week from today, do you think we'll Noah week
Speaker 1: from today at four h six officially finally confirmed that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's going to get a second term. I think
Speaker 1: it's going to take longer than that. Eight five five
Speaker 1: four zero five eight two five five the number text
Speaker 1: d An five seven seven three nine. At some point
Speaker 1: during the show today, we'll start some of the look
Speaker 1: ahead conversation as to you know what a Trump administration
Speaker 1: might look like, because I have tell you I've been
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time on that myself. I'm obviously
Speaker 1: very confident he's going to win, which means nothing guarantees
Speaker 1: him nothing. I just believe that's what's going to happen. So,
Speaker 1: like you, I always try to stay three four steps
Speaker 1: I had just thinking through that cabinet, that administration, and
Speaker 1: it's one of the things that excites me so much
Speaker 1: because you think of some of the talent he's now
Speaker 1: surrounded himself with just the thought of Elon Musk being
Speaker 1: in the administration, and you know, don't at all underestimate
Speaker 1: the value that may be in Pennsylvania right now, not
Speaker 1: just for the million dollars a day. And as we
Speaker 1: all know, right the swing state races are run on
Speaker 1: a television screen, so you don't have to be in
Speaker 1: a swing state to be campaigning in a swing state.
Speaker 1: You just have to be doing something interesting enough that
Speaker 1: they're paying attention in the other swing states, and certainly
Speaker 1: putting Elon Musk front and center his own events, etc.
Speaker 1: That's going to catch attention of a fair amount of
Speaker 1: people across the swings. And you know, I would have
Speaker 1: to think the vast majority of truly persuadable voters have
Speaker 1: to like the idea of Elon Musk being part of
Speaker 1: a Trump administration.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Guy's done pretty well for himself, and no doubt he's
Speaker 1: a smart guy. So I take that all back, Ryan,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I forgot that Tim Walls has now
Speaker 1: labeled him a dip stick, except he didn't use stick,
Speaker 1: he used the other s words. So yeah, maybe Elon
Speaker 1: Musk isn't all of that, though I would have to ask,
Speaker 1: can you get Tim Walls on, because I'd really like
Speaker 1: to ask him this Elon Musk, you say is a
Speaker 1: dip blank. But I notice he owns this. He owns
Speaker 1: this little car company called Tesla, right, and if I'm
Speaker 1: reading this right, I think Tesla is up twenty one
Speaker 1: percent today. The stock is up twenty one percent today,
Speaker 1: So yeah, Tim Walls, if a dip blank can do that,
Speaker 1: then we need more dip blanks. State five for zero
Speaker 1: five A two five five the number text d A
Speaker 1: N five seven seven three nine. Fair enough to talk
Speaker 1: about locally as well, But come on, you know we're
Speaker 1: less than a week away from an election like no other.
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump's already won this once, right, he beat Biden.
Speaker 1: And then he beat Biden so bad and so early
Speaker 1: that they had to conduct Takou in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night and replace him with Harris. And now they're
Speaker 1: in a real gem, right, And that's where I want
Speaker 1: to start the show today, not saying I told you so,
Speaker 1: because I know that's so obnoxious and none of us
Speaker 1: like anybody who does that. So it's the last thing
Speaker 1: I'm going to do. But I want you to listen
Speaker 1: to this. David Axelrod hit that Ryan closed his show
Speaker 1: in Denver with today because it is so important and
Speaker 1: I want to give you my conclusion from this.
Speaker 3: The things that would concern me is when she doesn't
Speaker 3: want to answer a question, her habit is to kind
Speaker 3: of go to world word salad city.
Speaker 2: And she did that on a couple of answers. One
Speaker 2: was on Israel.
Speaker 3: Andrews and asked the direct question would you be stronger
Speaker 3: on Israel than Trump? And there was a seven minute answer,
Speaker 3: but none of it related to the question he was asking.
Speaker 3: And so you know, on certain questions like that on immigration,
Speaker 3: I thought she missed an opportunity because she would acknowledge
Speaker 3: no concerns about any.
Speaker 2: Of the administrations policies.
Speaker 1: And that's a mistake, first of all. And take this
Speaker 1: to the man. Cokay, if you see any flaw in
Speaker 1: the logic, we'll send the limo for you. You know
Speaker 1: how to reach me eight five to five for zero
Speaker 1: five eight two five five the number techs d an
Speaker 1: five seven seven thirty nine. But this you can be
Speaker 1: certain of. David Axelrod does not say that. David Axelrod,
Speaker 1: number one advisor to Barack Obama, does not say those
Speaker 1: words unless he believes to his core that Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: is going to lose. He does not utter those words
Speaker 1: if he thinks for a second she's going to win,
Speaker 1: because it's not as if he's trying to give her
Speaker 1: constructive advice so she can get better. The race is
Speaker 1: about over. Number two. Not only does he believe to
Speaker 1: his core she is about to lose and he's distancing
Speaker 1: himself from her. He needs her to lose. He wants
Speaker 1: her to lose, and he is not alone. I've been
Speaker 1: talking about this for months on the show. He has
Speaker 1: many There are many, many, many powerful people on the
Speaker 1: left who desperately want her to lose. They not only
Speaker 1: want her to lose, they need her to lose because
Speaker 1: she is going to be so awful in that office.
Speaker 1: If she wins that she's going to trash that Democrat brand,
Speaker 1: send people fleeing from the parties, expose the left for
Speaker 1: what it truly is, and get them trashed in twenty
Speaker 1: six and twenty eight. They need her to lose eight
Speaker 1: five five for zero five A two to five five
Speaker 1: the number obviously if some want her to win or
Speaker 1: are going through the motions. But take tonight for an example.
Speaker 1: You've got this quote star studded event in Georgia which
Speaker 1: is not going to change anything, which is you're going
Speaker 1: to have Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen and Spike Lee,
Speaker 1: et cetera. It's probably going to be a fun event.
Speaker 1: If I can find it somewhere, I'll try to watch
Speaker 1: it tonight. It's going to be a fun event. It's
Speaker 1: not going to change the arc of this race. But
Speaker 1: think about that cast of characters, right, Springsteen, I'm sure
Speaker 1: wants her to win. Obama, I think desperately wants her
Speaker 1: to lose. Why else do you think Barack Obama goes
Speaker 1: out and submarines her. He is a smart guy with
Speaker 1: a lot of bad ideas, but he had to know.
Speaker 1: He had to know when on camera he decided to
Speaker 1: lecture a group of young black men and tell them
Speaker 1: that day they're not feeling it, they're not supporting Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris because they're bad people, because they're sexist. He knew
Speaker 1: exactly what he was doing. Then he knew that he
Speaker 1: was hurting her, He knew he was making himself radioactive
Speaker 1: in terms of her campaign, and he did it anyway
Speaker 1: because he wants her to lose, which leads to this
Speaker 1: next point. My young friend Ryan, and maybe I'm missing something,
Speaker 1: because you know, I've got a full time law practice.
Speaker 1: I try to stay up on everything. I miss an
Speaker 1: occasional thing here there. But where's Michelle. Where's Michelle? No,
Speaker 1: where's Michelle Obama? The last time and the last time
Speaker 1: I can remember Michelle Obama instensibly speaking on behalf of
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. She was submarining her at the convention, turning
Speaker 1: this race into a race issue, which is, first of all,
Speaker 1: it's just an American to its core to say the
Speaker 1: presidency is the job of any particular color, white, black, brown,
Speaker 1: or whatever. But second, it's cutting the knees out from
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris electorally to now, okay, we're going to define
Speaker 1: this presidential race as an issue of race. No, and
Speaker 1: so where's Michelle Obama? You don't think if Michelle Obama
Speaker 1: wanted Kamala Harris to win, she would be out there
Speaker 1: every day? Where is she? And above all, where's Jared Polis.
Speaker 1: Where's Jared Polis? To see that article? Ryan, I've got
Speaker 1: to pull it up and quote from it verbatim. But
Speaker 1: there was this hilarious story about this big bus tour,
Speaker 1: big celebrate death bus tour. You know, the police and
Speaker 1: a bunch of these other elected Dems were on and
Speaker 1: they were going to the friendliest territory possible, one of
Speaker 1: these college campuses. And what kind of crowd do you
Speaker 1: think they drew for that, Ryan?
Speaker 2: For which crowd?
Speaker 1: Where Polis and the big desk star bus tour. Let's
Speaker 1: go out and celebrate the killing of the unborn before birth,
Speaker 1: and let's have more of it up to the last
Speaker 1: possible second. And you loaded up Polis and all these
Speaker 1: other big elected Dems and you went off to a
Speaker 1: college campus, which has to be the friendliest playin ground. Imaginable.
Speaker 1: How many people do you think they drew?
Speaker 2: Fifty?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll pull the article out. I think the article
Speaker 1: which is trying to glorify all they said they drew
Speaker 1: one hundred people. I got to tell you, as a
Speaker 1: former student body president up at see you, you know
Speaker 1: we could draw a hundred people for a spitting contest.
Speaker 1: So if that's all they Drew. That's a very encouraging side. Well,
Speaker 1: we know that Jared Polis.
Speaker 4: You know, he loves his time in the limelight, whether
Speaker 4: it's on Fox News or I believe he's going to
Speaker 4: be on or has been on just recently Bill Mahers program.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be a panelist there. He's really excited about that.
Speaker 4: He was posting about it on X and everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is. He is getting very very little oxygen, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, how often do you see him? How often
Speaker 1: is he out there? But where's Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: We got a week left in this thing. I know
Speaker 1: she gave him the endorsement, but as I said all along,
Speaker 1: the endorsement won't turn the race. It's if Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: goes to the Swing states of Kamala Harris. Well, you
Speaker 1: know Verst Springsteen's going to be there night, But where's
Speaker 1: Taylor Fortunately not there? Eight five five for A five
Speaker 1: eight two five five takes d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. When we come back, we'll play just
Speaker 1: for your enjoyment some of the hits from last night's
Speaker 1: CNN town Hall where one commentator I think put it right.
Speaker 1: You know, Kamala Harris got into a one person debate
Speaker 1: and lost. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4: Podcast focused a lot more on Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say than she did on
Speaker 1: many specifics in terms of what she would do if
Speaker 1: her goal was to close the deal. They're not sure
Speaker 1: she did that. Yes, I've got CNN ripping on her
Speaker 1: last night, including Axel Rod. I started the show with
Speaker 1: this is at a CNN town hall or immediately after
Speaker 1: a CNN town hall? What does that tell you? You know
Speaker 1: my belief which is many on the left, many in
Speaker 1: power on the left want her to lose at this
Speaker 1: point because she will hurt Democrats so much in office
Speaker 1: as president. But a Texter raises a fair question, Dan,
Speaker 1: if they don't want Kamala to win, why do they
Speaker 1: let her raise so much money? Fair question. I think
Speaker 1: we have to be realistic about what's going on in
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. And you can talk about individual contributions,
Speaker 1: and hey, I'm not denying that. You've got a bunch
Speaker 1: of individuals out there. You know, people who just look
Speaker 1: at America, they support Democrats, they hate Trump, they want
Speaker 1: her to win, and they'll write individual checks I'm not
Speaker 1: saying they're sitting around wanting her to lose. But when
Speaker 1: you look at all of these really smart, big money
Speaker 1: people on the secular left now who have all these
Speaker 1: terrible intentions for America, you know, they are tacticians, and
Speaker 1: they view the Democratic Party as their tool, as their
Speaker 1: tool to be able to control and direct the United
Speaker 1: States of America. And they need that tool to be effective.
Speaker 1: And they know that if she becomes president, she's going
Speaker 1: to be so awful that it is going to undermine
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party immediately. And in twenty six and twenty
Speaker 1: eight she becomes a face of the Democratic Party in
Speaker 1: terms of her incompetence, in terms of all of her
Speaker 1: other obvious performance issues. Yeah, that is not good for
Speaker 1: the people who own and operate that party, and they're
Speaker 1: playing the long game. So yeah, you're going to have
Speaker 1: individual contributors, the corporate contributors who are paying so much money, etc.
Speaker 1: Including some of the rich people. I personally believe I
Speaker 1: can't prove it obviously for obvious reasons, but I personally
Speaker 1: believe you have a lot of those corporations, etc. It's
Speaker 1: protection money when they contribute to the Democratic Party. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, it's protection money because they the way that
Speaker 1: the modern Democratic Party grossly misuses the legal system, grossly
Speaker 1: abuses its power to go after political enemies. It's protection money. Hey,
Speaker 1: give a bunch of money, the Democrats will stay off
Speaker 1: our backs. Eight five five for zero five eight two
Speaker 1: five five the number dan, my roommate through my ballot away.
Speaker 1: What can I do to still vote or don't bother?
Speaker 1: Since we're not a swing state? Oh, my friend, thank
Speaker 1: you for that text. No, I think that voting is
Speaker 1: just kind of a moral imperative. So I do hope
Speaker 1: that you go out and vote. I mean not to
Speaker 1: get all sappy, but you think all the people who
Speaker 1: fought and died so we could vote.
Speaker 2: But who's the spot, good roommate.
Speaker 1: But but I want to get to that. I want
Speaker 1: to get to that right now. But the other thing
Speaker 1: is you have a chance, as a voter in Colorado
Speaker 1: to vote on one of the most important issues to
Speaker 1: come down the pike anywhere in American years, and that's
Speaker 1: Amendments seventy nine, which is an effort to put infanticide
Speaker 1: into the Colorado Constitution. So if nothing else, you need
Speaker 1: to vote in order to vote against seventy nine. Who
Speaker 1: is this roommate who threw the ballot away? And I'd
Speaker 1: love to know their motivation, because if they threw it
Speaker 1: away to try to prevent you from voting, that's probably
Speaker 1: a crime. If they threw it away because they just
Speaker 1: mix it up with some old newspapers or whatever, so
Speaker 1: be it. But I'd like to know the story behind
Speaker 1: that texture. So please get back to us. Your county
Speaker 1: clerk will take care of that for you. All you
Speaker 1: have to do, whatever county you're in, get a hold
Speaker 1: of the county clerk's office, go down there, whatever, explain
Speaker 1: the situation. They'll get you a provisional ballot.
Speaker 4: I would definitely recommend going in person. Go down there,
Speaker 4: make them happen. Yeah, and listen. I sure do appreciate,
Speaker 4: sure do appreciate the many skills our audience possesses, including
Speaker 4: math skills, because all of these texts, Dan, we are
Speaker 4: not inside a week to the election.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. You are far better at math
Speaker 1: than I am. I really do appreciate that. I think
Speaker 1: that in retrospects, sister and Felice was right to beat
Speaker 1: me like a dog, and one of the great things
Speaker 1: that ever happened to me in my life, sister and felice,
Speaker 1: and she did not beat me like a dog, but
Speaker 1: it was usually over math and she just corrected me
Speaker 1: in a memorable manner. Why don't we just say that?
Speaker 1: And thank god she was in my life. I just
Speaker 1: got over eager. I just got over eager. I just
Speaker 1: as I've been telling you for months, even when things
Speaker 1: looked really grim, Trump's gonna win this thing. Trump's gonna
Speaker 1: win this thing. And yeah, she's she's this and then
Speaker 1: the people are going to start to see it, and
Speaker 1: then she's gonna start to fade and there's nothing to
Speaker 1: stop the fall, all of which has come true. And
Speaker 1: I'm just so eager. Now. I just got ahead of
Speaker 1: myself on that. So thank you. You're right. Twelve days
Speaker 1: week from tuesdays. So thank you for correcting that. Eight
Speaker 1: five zero five eight two five five the number.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 1: I was sad to read those text as they came in, Ryan,
Speaker 1: because then I realized, yeah, we've got another twelve days
Speaker 1: of this, but it is going to be fun in
Speaker 1: so many different ways. And this because of these lefty
Speaker 1: heads exploding. And here's another great example, because Van Jones,
Speaker 1: he's on CNN. If you haven't seen him. Super sharp guy, lefty,
Speaker 1: super sharp guy, but one of the few lefties who
Speaker 1: will be intellectually honest on a fairly regular basis and
Speaker 1: call out his own side for v it's garbage. But
Speaker 1: here this just confirms it all, doesn't it. Ryan. I
Speaker 1: think Axelrod ripping Harris after the town hall last night
Speaker 1: just proves Axelrod believes she's going to lose. There's no
Speaker 1: way he offers that criticism up if he believes that
Speaker 1: in twelve days or so she's going to be president elect.
Speaker 1: But here is Van Jones. And when Van Jones, which
Speaker 1: is rare for him, just comes out and says something
Speaker 1: he knows is patently false, blatantly untrue, that's just proof
Speaker 1: that he knows Harris is going to lose, and he's
Speaker 1: just trying to He's just trying to let everybody out
Speaker 1: there know, let everybody in her circle know that he
Speaker 1: he did what he could up to an including saying
Speaker 1: something just ebsolutely false like this.
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are not taking the same exam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it bothers people. They're not taking the
Speaker 2: same exam.
Speaker 1: He gets to be lawless.
Speaker 2: She has to be flawless.
Speaker 1: Where is Johnny Cochrane when you need him? The late
Speaker 1: Johnny Cochrane really a wonderful guy in a lot of
Speaker 1: different ways. I know some disagreements with him on some things.
Speaker 1: But do you think he just heard that line somewhere
Speaker 1: and thought I gotta find a way to say it.
Speaker 1: It's so patently absurd. I mean, she's got to be flawless.
Speaker 1: She's taken a tougher exam than he is. This man
Speaker 1: has been persecuted in every way imaginable, had all these
Speaker 1: false charges, the Russia hoax, and they've tried to kill
Speaker 1: him twice, whoever they are. And he's had to run
Speaker 1: for years. He won this election before in June he
Speaker 1: beat Biden, and then the Democrats pulled a crew to
Speaker 1: replace Biden. She's only had to run for a few weeks,
Speaker 1: and somehow she has the tougher test than Trump. Trump's
Speaker 1: had the toughest test imaginable here and she's not only
Speaker 1: but never had to win a vote in the primaries,
Speaker 1: and then was installed after middle of the night coup.
Speaker 1: She then had virtually the entire dominant media wrapped their
Speaker 1: loving arms around her and protect her from even having
Speaker 1: to do interviews. So for a smart, sometimes honest guy
Speaker 1: like Van Jones to come out and say something so
Speaker 1: obviously false that just shows he knows she's going to
Speaker 1: lose and he just wants everybody in her circle to know, Hey,
Speaker 1: I was willing to lie for you. And that's the
Speaker 1: point it's reached on the left now that the secular
Speaker 1: left has taken over the Democratic Party. It seems as
Speaker 1: if the way people have to prove their worth, people
Speaker 1: to want power, people who want to be with the
Speaker 1: cool kids part of the inner circle, want to have access.
Speaker 1: The way they have to prove that to the powers
Speaker 1: that be on the left is proved they're willing to
Speaker 1: lie for them. Because that's what Van Jones just did,
Speaker 1: and he knew it as he was doing it. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's what I mean by fun. These last twelve days
Speaker 1: or so and the days to follow are going to
Speaker 1: be so much fun as the left exposes itself because
Speaker 1: now they're in full panic mode. So hey, when we
Speaker 1: come back, I do want to get a counterpoint on
Speaker 1: this is going to be an analyst on CNN saying no,
Speaker 1: here's why Democrats should be confident. Let's listen to that together.
Speaker 1: It'll be easier to dissect than a frog.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Do you
Speaker 2: think I'm Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 1: Yes? I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 3: And I also believe that the people who know him
Speaker 3: best on this subject should be trusted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the American people. That's the point, Kamala. It's
Speaker 1: not some disgruntled staffer or a Liz Cheney or somebody
Speaker 1: who got into a personal beef with Trump. No, the
Speaker 1: people who know Trump best are the American people who
Speaker 1: lived through his presidency and they experienced all the good
Speaker 1: things about his presidency, and they saw for themselves he
Speaker 1: is not a fascist. He is not a dictator. That's
Speaker 1: who know Trump knows Trump best, not these insiders who
Speaker 1: get their own personal gripes. Eight five five for zero
Speaker 1: five eight two five five the number.
Speaker 2: But what a gift.
Speaker 1: If we had a limo, we would send it for.
Speaker 1: I would love for her to spend every minute of
Speaker 1: every day of the rest of this campaign saying that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a fascist, because every time she does,
Speaker 1: it increases support for Trump by at the very least
Speaker 1: costing her support. And it goes back to my point. Listen,
Speaker 1: love him or hate him, whatever you may think of him,
Speaker 1: people live through his presidency. This is not theory. He's
Speaker 1: held the office before, and they saw he did not
Speaker 1: act like a fascist in office. They saw that he
Speaker 1: did not act like Hitler in office. So every time
Speaker 1: she says that, she hurts herself because she looks like
Speaker 1: a liar. She also looks desperate and unhinged. And she's
Speaker 1: also not talking about what's motivating voters at this point.
Speaker 1: The Trump paiters, Yeah, they're going to go and vote
Speaker 1: because they hate Trump, but the people are going to
Speaker 1: decide the election. The people in the middle, they're motivated
Speaker 1: by what's best for my family, and this Trump is
Speaker 1: a fascist thing. Remember that's how Biden. That's how Biden
Speaker 1: was running the race at the time they deposed him
Speaker 1: in the coup. Wasn't working for him, then, isn't going
Speaker 1: to work for her? Here, try saying that together one
Speaker 1: hundred times, which most people probably could eight five five
Speaker 1: for zero five two five five. The number will take
Speaker 1: text as well. The DN five seven seven thirty nine.
Speaker 1: Uh Dan, I'd like to know your take on belt measures,
Speaker 1: especially Prop one point thirty one. I think do anyway
Speaker 1: with party affiliation could load to lead to voting for
Speaker 1: a single party, which would not be in our best interest.
Speaker 1: What's say, or Linda from Canyon City hopefully, or Linda,
Speaker 1: You're in Kenyon City for good reasons, not bad reasons.
Speaker 1: But this, I would say, very very fair question. And
Speaker 1: I have been so busy with other stuff that I
Speaker 1: have not had a chance to sit down and deep
Speaker 1: dive it. I promise to do that. Now that I
Speaker 1: know we have twelve days left before the election, there's
Speaker 1: some extra time. I promise to do that. And I
Speaker 1: promise you this by Monday morning. Nobody, oh nobody, any
Speaker 1: corner of the state of Colorado will know more about
Speaker 1: one thirty one than I do.
Speaker 4: Just to offer up some background before Dan provides his take.
Speaker 4: This is a very much a split decision and it
Speaker 4: doesn't go along party lines either. For instance, Senator Michael
Speaker 4: Bennett is against it. However, Jared Polis John Hickenlooper are
Speaker 4: for it. Both parties of the state of Colorado Democrat
Speaker 4: Republican against it. Dick Wadhams is part of the consultant
Speaker 4: committee that is advancing it.
Speaker 1: He's a yes.
Speaker 4: Mandy Connell and Rosskaminski across the way and KOA are
Speaker 4: in favor of it. I can tell you this though,
Speaker 4: George Brockler, Christy Burton Brown yours truly we are all
Speaker 4: firmly against it because we're.
Speaker 1: What a wonderful summary. Thank you for that, right. No,
Speaker 1: that was very helpful because as you are going to that, Littana,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking back and over decades on air, I can't
Speaker 1: think of a single issue that had that kind of
Speaker 1: split describe I know, which makes me actually, I'm not
Speaker 1: dreading this deep dive this weekend. I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: it now because it must be a fascinating issue to
Speaker 1: have that kind of split.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the only thing I base it on personally
Speaker 4: is where it's been tried and what has happened. In California,
Speaker 4: it's become basically a unit party state with ranked choice voting.
Speaker 4: Steve Garvey one of the few that's broken through to
Speaker 4: actually get to the general election as a Republican.
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
Speaker 4: In Alaska, it cost the Republicans a House seat when
Speaker 4: Sarah Palin and another Republicans split the vote advancing to
Speaker 4: the final round where a libertarian hung around is the
Speaker 4: fourth one, and then Mary Peltola, Democrat gets elected.
Speaker 2: No way, she gets elected in.
Speaker 4: A straight up primary process system general election, one Republican
Speaker 4: candidate and now on the ballot.
Speaker 2: And I talked about this with Dick Wadhams.
Speaker 4: Dan Alaska is voting to repeal choice uting just shortly
Speaker 4: after they implemented it.
Speaker 1: I saw that. You know what else they did that with.
Speaker 1: They were the first state in the country to legalize marijuana,
Speaker 1: and then they reversed it right, and then decades later,
Speaker 1: when a bunch of how of state money came in,
Speaker 1: they unfortunately got it packed.
Speaker 4: My boy line just analysis is wherever it's been tried,
Speaker 4: it's been good for Democrats and bad for Republicans.
Speaker 2: And that's what I have concluded.
Speaker 1: Kelly, would you mind grabbing Ryan just under the hairline
Speaker 1: and pulling on his face to see if his face
Speaker 1: comes off and if he's a computer, did you do that? Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. I will do that. And if it becomes
Speaker 1: an issue with Achar, just tell him I immunized you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. No, Jerry would convict me, but very impressive. Ryan.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Here's an uncompleted text. How do you guys
Speaker 1: think this text are meant to end it? Dan? Also,
Speaker 1: I know you said you don't want to talk about
Speaker 1: the judicial retention portion on air. However, could you clip
Speaker 1: I don't know, how do you think they meant to
Speaker 1: end that?
Speaker 2: Could you reveal how you're voting on the judges?
Speaker 1: He just started by saying, I just said I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk talk about that on air, and listen
Speaker 1: here here's what it is. And I've been upfront about
Speaker 1: this on air for decades. My real full time job
Speaker 1: is I'm a trial lawyer. I represent victims, my first
Speaker 1: loyalties to them. So, as I've said for years, I
Speaker 1: will never say anything negative about a judge on air.
Speaker 1: I just won't. But I'm upfront with you about that,
Speaker 1: so you know that going in well.
Speaker 4: And one other thing, and I'll just say this for me,
Speaker 4: but judges are very rarely recalled, even on the ballot
Speaker 4: where it says yes no, keep them, boot them.
Speaker 2: It's very rare that a judge gets booted, right Dan,
Speaker 2: Just oh, sorry I speak.
Speaker 1: I know it's happened once somewhere along the way. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And the other thing I've said, and it's not to
Speaker 1: kiss up, even though it sounds like it. But hopefully
Speaker 1: you know me well enough by now that whether you
Speaker 1: agree or disagree, I'm like the ultimate straight shooter. And
Speaker 1: so I can just tell you this just one guy's experience.
Speaker 1: But it is forty years in courtrooms around Colorado, hopefully
Speaker 1: another forty to come. I think the overall quality of
Speaker 1: the bench in Colorado is stunningly good. And that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean I've agreed with every decision and every judge is rendered,
Speaker 1: but whether it's state or federal, it is stunningly good.
Speaker 1: And I cannot think of another profession. And hear me
Speaker 1: on this, and Ryan, can you bring in our stack
Speaker 1: of Bibles? Can we start just keeping it in the studio? Sure,
Speaker 1: so we don't have to keep it in the Mike
Speaker 1: Rosen commemorative wagon. Understood, because before the Internet, one of
Speaker 1: the great joys of being on air here is Mike Rosen,
Speaker 1: legendary talk show host. He would have a wagon and
Speaker 1: he'd drag around all these files and books into the studio,
Speaker 1: so he'd always be the smartest guy in the room,
Speaker 1: hard working guy. Now we keep the Bibles in there,
Speaker 1: so this is a stack of Bible saying. And now
Speaker 1: I would look in the eye and tell you this,
Speaker 1: I cannot think of another profession in Colorado, be it lawyers,
Speaker 1: be it anything. I cannot think of another profession where
Speaker 1: the quality of the people in it in this state,
Speaker 1: in my experience, has been higher than in the judiciary
Speaker 1: in Colorado. And that's just one guy's experience over forty years.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4: And yeah, so, I mean before we go to break,
Speaker 4: because I kind of on the topic here, Dan, and
Speaker 4: I don't know how you're going to respond to this,
Speaker 4: but maybe you will Monday. There is an amendment that
Speaker 4: I really want your input on. I think it's Amendment
Speaker 4: H and it says, shall there be an Amendment to
Speaker 4: the Colorado Constitution concerning Judicial Discipline and in connection there
Speaker 4: with establishing an independent Judicial Discipline Adjudicative Board, setting standards
Speaker 4: for judicial review of discipline cases, and clarifying when discipline
Speaker 4: proceedings become public.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting, I haven't even read that thing. Well, you
Speaker 1: know the truth is, and I'm admitting a flaw here, Ryan,
Speaker 1: I have been so absorbed by this presidential race and
Speaker 1: by seventy nine I haven't paid attention to much of
Speaker 1: anything else. I will look at that over the weekend
Speaker 1: when I'm deep diving. But I'm going to truly deep
Speaker 1: dive one thirty one this ranked choice voting thing because
Speaker 1: it's it's phenomenal that you have so many people supporting
Speaker 1: or opposing from both parties. Yeah, so I am going
Speaker 1: to deep dive that, but thank you. I look at
Speaker 1: that one also eight five to five for zero five
Speaker 1: eight two five to five. But you know, when you
Speaker 1: come back to this presidential how is not just everybody
Speaker 1: in America totally absorbed in this thing. It's so high stakes,
Speaker 1: it's so wild, and we've got the latest. Every day
Speaker 1: is going to be different now as the left gets
Speaker 1: more and more desperate. So we'll come back to some
Speaker 1: of that fun sound you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: By the Dreams That Break Your Heart.
Speaker 5: Boy leaving nothing but lollstand broken.
Speaker 1: Hoty Bruce Springstreen four fifty one. Glad you're here.
Speaker 5: The reason for that bump, understand is this live from
Speaker 5: the rally right now?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, so they brought in Springsteen for this
Speaker 1: big rally in Georgia today Obama's there are also Spike
Speaker 1: Lee some others, but so this is one of the
Speaker 1: songs he did a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 4: He's just wrapping this up, and at the tail end
Speaker 4: he gives a reason as to why he's there.
Speaker 2: You'll hear that too in this portion of the recording.
Speaker 2: It'll be about a minute.
Speaker 5: Barm sounds like Jimmy on a harmonica.
Speaker 2: That's right, you know what.
Speaker 1: Struck me on this. We're gonna get some commentary from
Speaker 1: him as just.
Speaker 2: A little bit. Okay, that's all right, he's coming up.
Speaker 1: One thing I really appreciated during the Denver show that
Speaker 1: we were both at is he didn't talk any politics.
Speaker 5: I'm Bruce Brinkstein, and I am here today to support
Speaker 5: Mala Harris and Tim Walltz for President and Vice President
Speaker 5: of the United States.
Speaker 1: And to oppose to.
Speaker 5: Oppose Donald Trump and JD.
Speaker 1: Vance. Very compelling, But you know what struck me? All
Speaker 1: blue jersey, red jersey stuff aside what struck me? And
Speaker 1: when you get home, you know, get off the highway whatever.
Speaker 1: Take a look at the video, go back, take a
Speaker 1: look at the video tonight. You'll see what I'm telling
Speaker 1: you is a thousand percent true. What's so striking to
Speaker 1: me as a guy who disagrees with Springsteen politically, but
Speaker 1: has really enjoyed his shows over the years. Out behind
Speaker 1: him while he's performing, totally completely bored, like totally bored.
Speaker 1: Told you he's old, paying no attention. Half of the
Speaker 1: people looking at their cell phones. The rest are chatting.
Speaker 1: And for a guy like me who has gone to
Speaker 1: a lot of his shows and really enjoyed him, including
Speaker 1: the one in Denver last year, it's it's like, you
Speaker 1: don't enjoy this music, And clearly they didn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: he has no relevance to them, at least the people
Speaker 1: you can see behind the screen and they're behind the stage,
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people behind that stage.
Speaker 1: I never thought i'd see the day where you'd see
Speaker 1: Springsteen performing and a crowd that was obviously bored out
Speaker 1: of their mind.
Speaker 4: If I made in, because you were so gracious, and
Speaker 4: I'm so thankful that I got to attend that concert,
Speaker 4: and I'm just sad that it was at the expense
Speaker 4: of Amy being not able to us.
Speaker 1: Yes, so she wanted to, but I said, no.
Speaker 4: Ryan want that. She wasn't feeling great. But anyway, that's
Speaker 4: what I told you. The thing I noticed when I
Speaker 4: was there, and going to put this in brass tacks terms.
Speaker 2: The crowd was a lot like you and me.
Speaker 4: The crowd that I'm looking at behind Bruce Springsteen heying me, Well,
Speaker 4: I'm just saying they're not his typical audience, and I'll
Speaker 4: leave it at that.
Speaker 2: They're not in his target demo.
Speaker 4: Nor were many of those represented behind him right now
Speaker 4: that I'm looking at on CNN in attendance of the
Speaker 4: concert at Ballerina and Denver.
Speaker 1: Were you and I were you making a racial com
Speaker 1: a little bit? I mean right, no, I mean you're
Speaker 1: making a demographic observation. But I would say is that
Speaker 1: there are plenty of white people back there too who
Speaker 1: look totally bored.
Speaker 2: Don't see many.
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is you see a lot of very
Speaker 1: very bored people.
Speaker 4: And Springsteen is a young white girl with the hairs
Speaker 4: walls Camo had on, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she could not be more bored.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen, it does it help Kamala Harris to
Speaker 1: have a rally where Bruce Springsteen is there and Barack
Speaker 1: Obama's there. Sure it's going to help her a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's not going to change the arc of this race.
Speaker 1: People aren't going to say, oh, yeah, I can't afford things.
Speaker 1: But because she had Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama YA.
Speaker 1: And Obama already poisoned himself in this race, and he
Speaker 1: did it intentionally. When he came out and scolded young
Speaker 1: black men, called him sexist if they wouldn't support Harris,
Speaker 1: he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 2: Went over like a la.
Speaker 1: Barack Obama does not want Kamala Harris to win this race.
Speaker 1: Barack Obama came out in the beginning. He and Michelle,
Speaker 1: remember they were holdouts when the coup was pulled, and
Speaker 1: they wanted an open process. They said so publicly, and
Speaker 1: then they had to fall in line. So Obama's just
Speaker 1: doing what Obama does. It's whatever's best for Obama. So
Speaker 1: he's going through the motions, check the box so nobody
Speaker 1: can blame him for the loss. By the way, where's Michelle?
Speaker 1: Where's Michelle? And I don't care if she pops up
Speaker 1: tomorrow and she's out there for every minute of the
Speaker 1: next twelve days. The point is when this thing was
Speaker 1: swinging in the balance, she has been nowhere to be found.
Speaker 4: Kelly told me that she's appearing at some event on Saturday.
Speaker 1: So what I mean, thank you? I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: be flipped but unless she's out there all the time,
Speaker 1: it's like t Swift, right. My concern had always been
Speaker 1: that not an endorsement. But if Deler Swift decided to
Speaker 1: go all in and go to all the different swing
Speaker 1: states with Kamala Harris and do these free rallies, et cetera,
Speaker 1: that might have an impact. But she's disappeared on her
Speaker 1: two eight five five for zero five A two five
Speaker 1: five text d A N five seven seventy three nine.
Speaker 1: Let me get to some of those great texts. Dan
Speaker 1: Springsteen was a has been in the nineties and his
Speaker 1: music has not improved with age. Dan, can you give
Speaker 1: us an unbiased, honest opinion on Amendments seventy nine? Amendments
Speaker 1: seventy nine is the most heinous, hideous amendment to ever
Speaker 1: appear on a Colorado ballot anywhere, and putting infanticide into
Speaker 1: our constitution would be one of the worst things the
Speaker 1: people of the state of Colorado have ever done. And
Speaker 1: it is so beneath us. No matter where you are
Speaker 1: an abortion policy, even if you disagree with me and
Speaker 1: you favor some legalized you know abortion the way it
Speaker 1: appears in some states right now. Hopefully we can all
Speaker 1: agree we should not put in our constitution a so
Speaker 1: called right to dismember a child at nine months, a
Speaker 1: healthy baby, healthy mond, that child's about to be born.
Speaker 1: The only difference between that child and a newborn baby
Speaker 1: is a few inches of location. Put in our Colorado
Speaker 1: Constitution a right to dismember that child. We are better
Speaker 1: people than that, and that would be such a heinous, wicked,
Speaker 1: savage breach of basic human decency.
Speaker 2: No it.
Speaker 1: One of the most important things any of us can do,
Speaker 1: regardless of party, regardless of policy, is to vote against
Speaker 1: Amendment seventy nine. And I can't imagine a good counter
Speaker 1: argument to that. How can there ever be a good
Speaker 1: argument in favor of something that says, yeah, in the constitution,
Speaker 1: right to kill a healthy baby from a healthy mom
Speaker 1: at nine months? Yeah, thank you for asking, though eight
Speaker 1: five five or zero five eight two five five. We'll
Speaker 1: get to callers right out of the break, plenty of
Speaker 1: hot sound, because we're living in this moment right It's
Speaker 1: where it all hangs in the balances. We're about twelve
Speaker 1: days away and we're going to win.
