Glad you are here. 6 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.879 What a spectacular Friday afternoon and looks like a great 7 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.839 weekend ahead. Probably another dip in the weather weather by 8 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.280 Tuesday or so, but we will enjoy this. Three oh 9 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.760 three seven one three A two five five then number 10 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.719 text d A N five seven seven three nine. So 11 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.960 it's Friday open lines. But the truth is these days, 12 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.240 pretty much every day is open lines, right. It's just 13 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.600 how fast things are moving right now in the world. 14 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.560 And so yeah, whatever you want to talk about, we 15 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.119 are always happy to And that's also partially now because 16 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.719 of text. Because the thirty roughly thirty years I've been 17 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.159 an Eric somewhere around there, you know, there's obviously been 18 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.039 this sea change from it used to be almost everybody 19 00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.640 called and then and now almost everybody has shifted to tech. 20 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:02.840 So you're more likely to get that variety of topics, 21 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.120 which I personally enjoyed because I don't think there's any doubt, 22 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.560 and I'd like, you're taking this, I'm not even sure 23 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.840 the age matters. I think for almost all of us 24 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:16.280 now that smartphones and other screens have really changed us 25 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.599 and have really changed our brains and have really changed 26 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.359 our intention attention spans and the way we learn, etc. 27 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.879 So I think everything is so much faster now, and people, 28 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:30.840 I think we're just geared. We're kind of wired right now, 29 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.719 you know, by this technology to just want so much 30 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.560 new information, so fast, etc. I think that just leads 31 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.439 more folks to text and to text on anything under 32 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.599 the sun, which we appreciate. And speaking of under the Sun, 33 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.599 Colorado Sun some really good reporting by Jesse Paul on 34 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.319 a very serious issue that's raised a lot of different questions, 35 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.959 and that is Yadira Caraveo, who had been congresswomen in 36 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.680 the hotly contested, relatively new eighth CD in northern Colorado. 37 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.879 According to The Sun, had been battling severe depression, couple 38 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.520 of suicide attempts during the course of the last campaign, 39 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.199 and obviously those weren't reported to the public, and they 40 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.080 are being now through anonymous sources. My guess is it's 41 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.759 the Colorado Democratic Party, which I have to believe knew 42 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.000 all along, right and helped hide it from the public 43 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:22.960 because they thought it would cost him the race. By 44 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.759 the way, you tell me, do you think that would 45 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.080 have cost them the race or would it have helped 46 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.000 her to have opened up and been honest about it? Yeah, 47 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.800 Texter says probably cost her the race. I agree with that, 48 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.680 but you never know. It could have gone the other direction. 49 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.120 But one way or the other, the public had a 50 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.319 right to know, and it was hidden from the public, 51 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.439 and I have to believe the Colorado Democratic Party was 52 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.319 part of that. And I have to believe the Colorado 53 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.439 Democratic Party is behind this leak right now. I can't 54 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.680 prove it, can't be certain of it, but that's what 55 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.520 I believe. And why would they leak it now because 56 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.560 she's in the primary now and they think they have 57 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.520 a good candidate and the other guy, so Abe Evans, 58 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.039 is going to be tough to beat because he's really good. 59 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.360 I mean he's just flat out really good three or 60 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.639 three he's someone three eight two five five tagst d 61 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.199 A N five seven seven three nine. We have been 62 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.759 spending a lot of time on this show, as we 63 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.840 in every show should on. Really one of the worst 64 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.960 bills ever introduced in Colorado House Bill twenty five thirteen 65 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.560 twelve quote legal protection for transgender individuals. And though even 66 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.159 though one of the most hideous provisions was at least 67 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.680 temporarily removed the other night, the provision that essentially was 68 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:41.560 the hey, I either agree that your boy is really 69 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.680 a girl or lose custody provision. But there's a whole 70 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.639 lot of bad stuff still in this bill, including provisions 71 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:54.280 that would classify quote dead naming unquote misgendering, you know, 72 00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:00.280 two bizarre terms. Right, Because so now you commit this 73 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.800 horrible offense under the law of misgendering if you correctly 74 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:09.159 gender somebody and that's not rhetoric, that's just fact. If 75 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.560 you've got a male there and as all male parts 76 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.159 and that's your sign or that's a male in your 77 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.439 business or whatever, and you refer to that person as 78 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:22.720 a male, your quote misgendering. Yeah, but that would count 79 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.800 as discriminatory act under the Colorado Anti Discrimination Act and 80 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:33.600 as a form of quote course of control in other proceedings. So, 81 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.000 my lord, I mean think about that, and that Ryan, 82 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.399 what a great way, what a great way to attract 83 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.879 new business to Colorado, Right, And that's one thing that 84 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.800 doesn't get talked about enough. We've been blessed, and it's 85 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.000 probably a big reason that all of us are here. 86 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.879 We've been blessed with living in one of the most 87 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.000 spectacular places on the face of the earth in terms 88 00:04:54.040 --> 00:05:01.759 of natural beauty, resources, minimal threat of natural disasters. We've 89 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.319 been given like virtually every God given gift. It takes 90 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.120 to have the greatest state in the nation, and yet 91 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.399 we lose competition for top jobs and top companies to 92 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.959 Minneapolis and cities in Arkansas, etc. And it's stuff like this. 93 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.240 First of all, it's poor performance by our Democrat elected officials. 94 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.000 But then it's garbage like this. I mean, if you're 95 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.240 the CEO of a Fortune one hundred company and you're 96 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.839 deciding where to move, Yeah, let's see, where do we 97 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.279 want to move? Okay, Yeah, we want to move somewhere 98 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:37.920 with legalized dope. We want to move somewhere that's inviting 99 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.199 illegal immigrants in. Yeah, we want to move somewhere where 100 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:48.560 they're lessening the criminal penalties for all sorts of serious stuff. 101 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.480 We want to move somewhere where our company is going 102 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:58.199 to be found guilty under Colorado civil rights laws. If 103 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.439 we don't call a man a woman. Yeah, let's move 104 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.920 our company there, right, But it just comes back, the 105 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.879 left really doesn't like you. I'm sorry, and they hate me, 106 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.959 but they don't like you, and they're just so devoted 107 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.120 to their hardcore leftist ideology screw everything else, starting with 108 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.360 the kids, right, How could any of this possibly be 109 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.560 good for kids? And they don't even care about that. 110 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:30.759 And here is some sound Senator Faith Winter talking about 111 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.079 her crash couch for minors. Now, Ryan, let's try to 112 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:35.759 get her on the show, okay, because I'd love to 113 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.639 explore this in more depth. You're hanging your head there, 114 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:39.120 my friend. 115 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.800 Well, the other sound that you sent me lends me 116 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.680 to believe that she's not really going to be eager 117 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:44.839 to go public with anything. 118 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.439 Well, I just want to invite her for the conversation 119 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.839 because I've got this. I've got this belief that there 120 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:53.759 are many out there on the left right now who 121 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.759 are trying to take children away from their parents. And 122 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.240 you know, we talked a lot about that Columbine story, right, 123 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.720 and and I think that in different ways, to different degrees, 124 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.560 the Left is on a mission to separate children from 125 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.319 their parents, and in some cases just flat out take them. 126 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:15.279 And so when Faith's winner starts talking about her crash 127 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.160 couch for miners, and it is in connection with the 128 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.680 discussion of this bill as I understand it of twenty 129 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:27.839 five thirteen twelve labeled legal protection for transgender individuals. But 130 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:32.079 why are they so focused on the kids? We don't 131 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.360 hear a whole lot of conversation about the adult transgenders. 132 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:37.800 They're so focused on the kids. And that brilliant point 133 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.839 Ryan one of the best texts we've ever had, Right, 134 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.240 Why aren't the drag queen reading hours ever done at 135 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.759 old folks homes? They only do them at schools. So 136 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.120 here's Faith Winter on the floor of the house bragging 137 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:55.600 about her crash couch for miners. And in my home, 138 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:56.480 I have. 139 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:02.160 A crash couch, and this is something that my now 140 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.480 teenage children know I have. And this is where any 141 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:11.480 young person can come and feel safe, regardless of the 142 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.879 struggles that they have. And I've had numerous young people 143 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:23.279 that are coming out as trans orgue who felt I'm 144 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.439 safe in their home or didn't know how to have 145 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:26.920 that original conversation. 146 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.240 Let's stop there for a second. So she's talking about 147 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:37.639 crashing on her couch miners who are having issues related 148 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:43.200 to their sexuality. And then she talks about, oh, they 149 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.279 didn't feel safe in their homes. But then she adds 150 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:49.200 in there or I'm paraphrasing, trouble talking about her or something. 151 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:54.720 So she's got crashing on her couch miners who are 152 00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:01.600 having struggles at home over sexual identity issues and they're 153 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.639 having trouble talking to their own parents. Does that feel 154 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:10.720 right to you? 155 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:15.879 Come and stay with me because it's safe because. 156 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:21.159 They know that someone's going to affirm them, affirm them, 157 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.000 and this whole by the way, this whole gender affirming 158 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:25.919 care and affirm them. 159 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:30.159 Wait a second, you're not affirming anybody when you lie 160 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.879 to them to tell a boy he's really a girl. 161 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:39.120 That's that's not affirming anybody. But I get back to 162 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.080 to the factor here involved in bragging about having this 163 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.679 crash couch for miners who are wrestling with these sexuality issues. 164 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:53.720 I'm just going to support them, and this bill to 165 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:57.639 me is my crash couch for the state. 166 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.200 Of Now, keep in mind, this is the same faith winner, 167 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.559 as I understand it, who had those issues with alcohol 168 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.600 like public functions. 169 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.039 And they met to today and determine there is enough 170 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.279 to move forward in this ethics investigation, and that includes 171 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.360 video of the April meeting in North Glenn where she 172 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.960 appeared intoxicated. Winter apologized for her behavior the day after 173 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.799 the public meeting and said she was seeking substance abuse treatment. 174 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:25.080 Okay, so we've got somebody, and God love them, because 175 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.799 lots of fine people have had to seek substance abuse treatment. 176 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.799 But we've got somebody who's had to, at least at 177 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.679 the time of that story, seek substance abuse treatment and 178 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.679 was out, apparently, whether it's true or not, intoxicated at 179 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.919 a public meeting. Who then has this crash couch at 180 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.679 home for minors who are struggling with these sexuality sexual 181 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:51.279 identity issues. Does that weird anybody else out? You're on 182 00:10:51.320 --> 00:11:07.679 the Dan Caplis show. 183 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.399 Back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast, And in my. 184 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:09.039 Home, I have a crash couch and this is something 185 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.440 that my now teenage children know I have, and this 186 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:17.559 is where any young person can come and feel safe. 187 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.000 Why did she mention that part about my now teenage 188 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.600 children know I have this? How's that relevant? Why do 189 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.200 you think she threw that in there? She's a cool mom, well, 190 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:32.720 do you think maybe she appreciated how creepy this might 191 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.840 sound to a lot of people. She's got a crash 192 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:41.360 couch for miners who are struggling with sexuality issues. Do 193 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.440 you think that's why she's threw in the Oh my 194 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:44.399 kids know about this. 195 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.320 Yeah. I think it's a signal for the kids, her. 196 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.639 Own children to go out and say, hey, got a 197 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.080 safe space for you. Other kids in the whole school, 198 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.960 they'll be on board and know that the senator has 199 00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:59.720 a crash couch for them. 200 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:01.720 Yeah, nothing to see here. 201 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.720 Regardless of the struggles that they have. And I've had 202 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:13.360 numerous young people that are coming out as trans orgue 203 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.480 who felt unsafe in their home or didn't know how 204 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.320 to have that original conversation. 205 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.200 So let me get this straight. You've got kids struggling 206 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.759 with this sexuality issue who don't know how to have 207 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.039 the conversation with their parents. So faith winner, an elected democrat, 208 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:36.720 is going to put them on her couch. Shouldn't they 209 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.399 be home with their parents having that conversation. 210 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:48.039 Yeah, wow, come and stay with me because it's safe 211 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.919 because they know that someone's going to affirm them, someone's 212 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.200 going to support them. 213 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.440 So the way to support a kid, and these are 214 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:02.039 heartbreaking cases right the way to support a kid who 215 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:06.639 is so confused and who knows what influences and pressures 216 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.960 the kids under Because obviously right now you got a 217 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.960 bunch of people on the left out there just trying 218 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.799 to recruit kids into this transgender thing. I don't think 219 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.559 there's any doubt about that. Whether she is or not, 220 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.960 I don't know, but that this whole business of you 221 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.600 got kids who are have had a hard time talking 222 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.519 to their parents, So this other adult is instead going 223 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.360 to have those kids live with her. 224 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:29.279 Here's the key question. 225 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.399 Do the parents know that the senator is offering this 226 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.399 crash couch to their children? Or is she doing this 227 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:38.159 behind the parents' bags? 228 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.360 Great question. That's why we'd love to get her on 229 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.080 the show and have the conversation. Not entirely sure she'll 230 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.159 show up, but we hope so could tell her we 231 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.200 have a crash couch. We do somewhere here, don't we 232 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.840 right out there? Yeah, that's right, we do it, do it. 233 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:51.919 He could crash. 234 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:52.600 It's not bad. 235 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.559 Yeah. 236 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.960 And this bill to me is my crash couch for 237 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:00.639 the state of Wow. 238 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.919 Think about that. So this bill is some may argue 239 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:08.720 crash couch the way to separate children from their parents. 240 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.039 And isn't that the big play of the left right now? 241 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.440 You look at what happened at Columbine, and we covered 242 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:17.679 that horrific situation in deep deep death where this mother 243 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:23.480 had no idea officials were working behind her back to 244 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.360 have her daughter declared homeless so she could move in 245 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.600 with another teacher while another teacher was grooming her. But 246 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.159 and it extends to a much broader point, right that 247 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.480 these lefties who controlled the Democratic Party quite obviously look 248 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.759 at the legislature, just believe that they're not your children. 249 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.080 They're not your children, and they know much better what's 250 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.559 better for these children, and they are going to take 251 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.840 your children, whether it's physically literally take them and have 252 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.600 them declared homeless, or whether it's they're going to have 253 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.919 your children on their quote crash couch for the whole state, 254 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:02.759 you know, or whether they're going to take your children 255 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.440 by indoctrinating them and government runs schools. That there's no 256 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:10.480 question the left is trying to separate children from their parents, 257 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:13.440 at the very least, separate them from their parents' values 258 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.480 and their parents' principles. Because it's like Jared Polis said 259 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.440 the day after you got elected governor, which is a 260 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.240 people have to leave their faith outside that the ballot 261 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.120 box because polist knows if people vote their faith, the 262 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.200 left loses. Well, how can it be your faith if 263 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:32.879 you don't vote it. But we can get back to that. 264 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.600 But but yeah, so the left, in order to win, 265 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:41.360 has to separate children from traditional values. And to do that, 266 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.480 they have to separate children from their parents. And you 267 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.720 see that being done in so many different ways. That's 268 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.000 one of the reasons the left fights to the death 269 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.879 against school choice right because the left needs the schools 270 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.200 to indoctrinate the kids. It's and I think more and 271 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.720 more parents are stif darting to see that. And that's 272 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:03.879 part of what you saw on election day, and hopefully 273 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.279 we'll start to see that show up in Colorado elections. 274 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.559 Three LL three someone three two five five. The number 275 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.919 of text d an five seven seven three nine. I 276 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.919 do want to get to some of these texts as well. 277 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:19.159 Very thoughtful texters, This text says Dan, last time I 278 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.799 checked encouraging miners. Gosh darn it, Ryan, can we all 279 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.559 chip in and get a new computer? I mean, your 280 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.519 hit show and everything else we should be able to 281 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.879 get a new computer and screen. Dan, last time I 282 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.360 checked encouraging miners to run away from home and sleep 283 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.679 on your quote, crash couch is contributing to the delinquency 284 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:39.000 of a minor. If our state wasn't so messed up, 285 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.960 she would be arrested for admitting to harboring runaways. Instead, 286 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.000 she is bragging about it. I don't know if the 287 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.720 text is legally correct, but I would bet they're an 288 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.360 awful lot of people who feel that on a moral 289 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:54.519 level that Texter is absolutely right, Dan, that crash couch 290 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:58.159 sounds like a gateway to harboring a runaway. Dan, it's 291 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.919 nicest lady with the crash couch, and it's herself between 292 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:02.759 the parents and the kid. I don't see that as 293 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.519 very helpful, and of course it's not. Of course it's 294 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:09.599 not very helpful. But since when have has the Democratic 295 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.680 Party in Colorado or nationally done anything that would suggest 296 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.839 to you they actually care about kids. I mean, they're 297 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.599 Holy Grail. The altar they worship on is the legalized 298 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.160 killing of children up to the moment of burst, So 299 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.400 what would make you think that they would care about kids? 300 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.400 And then we got a text from a woman who 301 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.039 had referenced earlier on the Caraveos story. She'd heard a 302 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.119 report that Caraveo's son had reported her, and she wrote 303 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.119 back to say, no, that is not accurate. That understanding 304 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.759 not accurate. Interesting texts, my friend. Why has Bennett gone 305 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:48.279 dark since his announcement? Bigger question? Why has Wiser in 306 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.640 many ways gone dark since Bennett's announcement? Is he trying 307 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.599 to angle for the Senate seat? Maybe Bennett's gone dark 308 00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.480 because he's heard about this column I'm writing, which I 309 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.960 think will make a very important point about Michael Bennett 310 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:10.079 that will not please Michael Bennett. I think it'll ironically 311 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.240 many many people on the left, I think are going 312 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.599 to agree with the point that I make about Michael 313 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.160 Bennett and this column. I'll let you know when it's 314 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:17.680 going to run. You're on the Dan Kaplass Show. 315 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.039 You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast. 316 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.039 It's expensive to live in the White House. Many people 317 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.079 don't know. I mean much is not covered. You're paying 318 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.799 for every food, every bit of food that you eat. 319 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.799 You're not paying for housing and the staff in it, 320 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.680 but everything, even travel. If you're not traveling with the 321 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.359 president if your kids are coming on a bright Star, 322 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:46.480 which is the first Lady's plane, we had to pay 323 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:48.880 for their travel to be on the plane. It is 324 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.880 an expensive proposition, and you're running for two years and 325 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.799 not earning an income. So all of that was in 326 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.279 my mind. How would we manage this? My fears came 327 00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:00.200 from the fact that I thought he could win, but 328 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.519 I knew he had an in him to make this happen. 329 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.519 What did he even say to that? Right? Oh my yeah, 330 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:13.480 the house, that the staff and everything else. Yeah, but 331 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:18.240 but where is the cause greater thimself? Whatever it takes 332 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.119 for the country. Valley Forge, all the people who literally 333 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:25.119 had limbs freeze off at Valley Forge, you know, as 334 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.880 they were ready to go out and fight and die 335 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.519 for their country. But you know in the White House, 336 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.200 yeah that the staff and the butler and the maids 337 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.279 and all of them were paid for, and the house 338 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:36.200 was paid for, but we had to pay for the food. 339 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.319 How do you ever get to that point? Really? How 340 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.079 do you and the whole time knowing that every day 341 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:44.880 you spend in that White House, you're net worthy skyrocketing. 342 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.079 Now the money's not coming into your bank account that day, 343 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.480 but you know, it's coming into your bank account as 344 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.119 soon as you leave office. So how do you how 345 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:53.400 do you ever get to that point? 346 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.559 I'm reminded of the great JD Vance in his exchanged 347 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.279 He's still alive, Martha raddits. 348 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.400 What he goes. Do you hear yourself? Martha? 349 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:04.440 This is a do you hear yourself? Michelle? And how 350 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.160 privileged you sound and how out of touch this is? 351 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:10.240 You think the average American is going to hear that 352 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:11.000 and relate. 353 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:12.559 And go, yeah, I could kind of see. 354 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.559 But do you think she cares what the average American thinks? 355 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.359 Obviously no, no, And I think what we have here Ryan, 356 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.960 And it's fascinating to see because you look at Michelle 357 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.480 Obama and you look at somebody who was really gifted, right, 358 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.559 I mean, God gave her a ton of gifts, you know, 359 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:33.480 gave her a brain, gave her beauty, gave her opportunity, 360 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:38.240 and she's had a lot of success. But somewhere along 361 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:42.440 the line, her identity became that of a victim and 362 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:48.759 she just has to be the victim. And what a 363 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.400 sad twist that is, right, because she's she's got an 364 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.319 awful lot going for. But I guess the question is 365 00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.599 what doesn't matter what any of us have going for 366 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.680 us if we're not grateful. And we were talking about 367 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.799 this the other day, right, And I'm sure your mom 368 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:09.839 same way. But my mom taught us when we were young, 369 00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:13.000 as I can remember, every time you wake up, it's 370 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.680 what are the five things I'm grateful for today? And 371 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.240 then what are the five things I'm looking forward to today? 372 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.279 And if you're grateful, you're rich. Who said that? Was 373 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:27.599 that was some rich guy, some rich guy who say 374 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.759 I'll look it up during the break, But it's so true. 375 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.640 If you're grateful, you're rich. If you're not grateful, it 376 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.759 doesn't matter what those numbers are in the account, you're poor. 377 00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:40.720 Why is it? 378 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:41.000 Dan? 379 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.400 You know, George W. Bush came from considerable wealth. His 380 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.640 dad was very successful going way back, and yet he 381 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:50.240 was kind of cornbread and he could relate to the 382 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.440 average American and they tapped into that that is really good. 383 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:55.440 Are you ever going to go over to like comedy 384 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.640 works and do a show or something, Well, you should. 385 00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.440 I just remember feeling like w spoke to me, like 386 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.839 I could relate to him, And the same thing in 387 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.240 a much more remarkable sense with Donald Trump, who came 388 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.400 from privilege, but he took his father's empire and built 389 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.519 it even bigger. And yet he has that common touch, right, 390 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:17.000 that ability to connect with the working man and woman. 391 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:19.559 Michelle Obama who should have that. 392 00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:23.519 She came from pretty modest beginnings right herself, her family. 393 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.839 Yeah yeah, and yeah southsider right like us. 394 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.039 But like exactly like you. 395 00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:30.240 And due credit to her, she was able to make it. 396 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:32.200 But to your point, Dan, I'm like, why would she 397 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.240 focus on the positive? Look how far I came? And 398 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:35.200 isn't Martin great? 399 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:37.480 What a great question that is. And you know, from 400 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:39.440 what I've heard, her parents are wonderful. So he can't 401 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:41.640
