Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Oh and what
Speaker 1: a victory today for true justice in the American way,
Speaker 1: you know, my young lifetime. Truly one of the greatest
Speaker 1: political days ever. Not just because today was so interesting
Speaker 1: and at times really compelling and I think it's a
Speaker 1: practical matter really helping to jump start this term, but
Speaker 1: because it comes against the backdrop of a Trump team
Speaker 1: that has been so effective, so tight, so successful since
Speaker 1: election Day, and obviously before they wouldn't have won, so
Speaker 1: so much reason to believe now that this momentum is
Speaker 1: going to continue, that the success is going to continue.
Speaker 1: You know, life, right, I mean, this is a human endeavor.
Speaker 1: It's never going to be a straight line up. There
Speaker 1: are always going to be setbacks, unexpected twist, but that
Speaker 1: the trend line is going to continue to be up
Speaker 1: and up and up. So can't wait to talk to
Speaker 1: you about today, get your take on some of the highlights.
Speaker 1: We have some really cool sound eight five five four
Speaker 1: zero five eight two five five. If you want to
Speaker 1: join by phone, you can text d An five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. But first let's go straight to the
Speaker 1: Capitol One Arena. Welcome our own Ryan Schuling, who must
Speaker 1: have stayed in line in the bitter cold all night
Speaker 1: to get into that arena today. I knew he would
Speaker 1: find a way, Ryan, Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 2: Dan Happy inauguration day and one day it was yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right. I was in line for four hours at
Speaker 2: about twenty two degrees wow, five twenty am Eastern time too,
Speaker 2: about nine twenty am Eastern time, and then I am
Speaker 2: just leading the arena. So at seven o'clock here, I
Speaker 2: means I was in that arena for about ten hours wow,
Speaker 2: varying degrees of entertainment that were offered. And of course
Speaker 2: Donald Trump there at the very end of the big
Speaker 2: payoff for saying all that time. And I think the
Speaker 2: people got what they wanted.
Speaker 1: When you showed up at five in the morning. How
Speaker 1: many people were already there.
Speaker 2: S a lot several hundred, if not a few thousand perhaps,
Speaker 2: and I was in the two hundred levels, so I
Speaker 2: got a pretty good vantage point. There is a lot
Speaker 2: of photos and videos, I believe on our social media
Speaker 2: koa and otherwise demonstrating the view that I had. I
Speaker 2: actually got in pretty well. I had of a lot
Speaker 2: of the people. I would say there was only about
Speaker 2: a quarter of the arena that had people in it
Speaker 2: by the time I got in there. That would have
Speaker 2: been people that stayed the night. I'm talking brutally cold
Speaker 2: temperatures here in d C. And they literally camped out.
Speaker 2: They slept out, and I saw blankets and pillows, you know,
Speaker 2: outside the arena as I approached it myself and then
Speaker 2: finally got through security after four hours of standing in line.
Speaker 1: I knew you would find a way. That's why you're
Speaker 1: Ryan but tonight, and we carried a decent chunk of
Speaker 1: it live on the show. But what was the highlight
Speaker 1: in there today the entire day. I assume it happened
Speaker 1: while Trump was there, but maybe not.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I would say during the time that Trump was in
Speaker 2: the arena, the tribute to Corynparatory in Butler County first responders.
Speaker 2: I think it was a very poignant moment. It was
Speaker 2: a nice note that was struck, and I believe that
Speaker 2: Trump went by the end of the night, you could
Speaker 2: tell you know, he was fatigued, he was tired. Look,
Speaker 2: I was tired. I'm twenty eight young years younger than
Speaker 2: the guy. But he had a full day. I would
Speaker 2: say some of the executive orders that he saved a
Speaker 2: sign in front of a kind of makeshift resolute desk
Speaker 2: on the stage, in front of those gathered the twenty
Speaker 2: thousand their Capital One arena. That was a pretty neat time.
Speaker 2: People responded favorably to that. And I'm telling you what,
Speaker 2: Baron Trump is a star. He got the loudest applause
Speaker 2: of any of the Trump kids by a mile.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had that live. That was something.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then now I imagine, of course they played
Speaker 1: the entire inaugural address in the arena on the big screens.
Speaker 1: What jumped out to you? Favorite part?
Speaker 2: I think that he threw fastballs. Man. This was not
Speaker 2: your typical kind of aspirational, metaphorical, soaring, generalized speech. This
Speaker 2: was very specific. It was policy focus, it was topic focus.
Speaker 2: But that really was pitch perfect, I think in terms
Speaker 2: of what people were looking for from Donald Trump. Why
Speaker 2: you and I voted for him, and so many of
Speaker 2: our listeners did too. He's getting right to work. And
Speaker 2: he was calling balls and strikes, calling a spade of spade,
Speaker 2: he said it, and he took great glee in this,
Speaker 2: I think, and he mentioned it later that he said
Speaker 2: all this that was true, and Joe Biden k Harris
Speaker 2: just had to sit there and take it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that I think Ryan was very important because
Speaker 1: I understand I watched it with with somebody who's not
Speaker 1: as big a Trump fan as I am, you know,
Speaker 1: no names, but and you know, she thought that it
Speaker 1: was it was too rough, but I said, no, it
Speaker 1: was absolutely necessary because a lot of his effectiveness comes
Speaker 1: from his fearlessness. And you had those people who had
Speaker 1: done all these awful things to America sitting right there,
Speaker 1: and and in order to have credibility, in order to
Speaker 1: project this strength, you need to accomplish all these things.
Speaker 1: You got to say it when they're sitting right there.
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing in talk radio, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: And every now and then, certainly not on our station,
Speaker 1: but every now and then you'll see a host who
Speaker 1: will say all these bad things about somebody, and then
Speaker 1: the person comes on the show, and you think the
Speaker 1: two are going to go off on a honeymoon. You
Speaker 1: got to say it to them when they're there. So
Speaker 1: I thought it was key for Trump to do that.
Speaker 1: I love that he'd do it, did it, but then
Speaker 1: he also mixed in. He also mixed in the optimism,
Speaker 1: the positivity, you know, the so much soaring you know,
Speaker 1: really I thought, well done soaring comments as well.
Speaker 2: The golden age of America starts right now. I mean,
Speaker 2: he just began the speech with a touchdown pass and
Speaker 2: it was really solid I thought throughout from there from
Speaker 2: a tonal standpoint, and they had rough edges, but it
Speaker 2: was him. It was authentically him. Yeah, and that's why
Speaker 2: people voted for him. And to your point, Dan, after
Speaker 2: everything Donald Trump had been through, after everything that Biden
Speaker 2: and Harris and the weaponized Department of Justice put him through,
Speaker 2: there's no way he could have ignored all that and
Speaker 2: simply given a kind of rosy outlook speech that's not
Speaker 2: where we are as a country. He knew that he
Speaker 2: was real with the American people, and I think more
Speaker 2: importantly that speech serves as notice for the rest of
Speaker 2: the world. They were watching too, and they know it's well.
Speaker 1: And I think that last point is critical because Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, now, as he said, you know you've got
Speaker 1: all this work ahead, but in order to be effective,
Speaker 1: in order to be effective, so are you putting in
Speaker 1: your pizza order? Hey, you've got to be starved. Did
Speaker 1: they have any food at the arena?
Speaker 2: Barely? And I'm looking for that as well as the
Speaker 2: metro stop here is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay? President Trump, by the way, just arrived back
Speaker 1: at the White House. And think about what a long
Speaker 1: day it has been for him. We all saw that
Speaker 1: video earlier real time life of the President leaving the
Speaker 1: White House with the Bidens and with President Biden at
Speaker 1: that time in particular. So he arrives back now, he's
Speaker 1: promised a lot of executive orders tonight. Certainly he's been
Speaker 1: given a long, long, long runway on pardons, including j
Speaker 1: six folks give givin the fact, can you believe Biden's
Speaker 1: so slimy, right, so slimy hurt the Democrats so badly,
Speaker 1: thank God by waiting until Trump was actually walking into
Speaker 1: the rotunda before pardoning Biden's family members. And so now
Speaker 1: I think Trump has a free pass to pretty much
Speaker 1: pardon anybody in the world.
Speaker 2: Certainly, Dan, and you said it right there. The timing
Speaker 2: of that pardon was not accidental by Biden he wanted
Speaker 2: to wait until the last minute. It makes it look
Speaker 2: all the more suspicious. It confirms all of our thoughts
Speaker 2: and accusations and so called conspiracy theories about the Biden
Speaker 2: crime family, and there's just no running away from it
Speaker 2: at this point. Why would he feel the need to
Speaker 2: pardon them? Why would he wait until the last minute
Speaker 2: to do it? Because he wanted as few repercussions as
Speaker 2: possible And he leaves office totally in disgrace, and he
Speaker 2: brings his family name along with him.
Speaker 1: Well, but I think he hurts more than that, at
Speaker 1: least I hope. So this has to really hurt the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party long term because to the typical thinking American,
Speaker 1: what it's going to say is, Okay, this means Biden
Speaker 1: and his family were guilty as hell. This means all
Speaker 1: the Democrats who covered for him are guilty as hell.
Speaker 1: And it goes right and all the J six J
Speaker 1: six Committee people he pardoned. A lot of Americans are
Speaker 1: going to think, well, they got the pardons because they're guilty.
Speaker 1: And if they're not guilty, then why didn't you do
Speaker 1: it earlier when there could have been a full conversation
Speaker 1: about this. So my hope is it does severe, lasting
Speaker 1: damage to the Democratic Party, which it should do because
Speaker 1: all these people did cover for him.
Speaker 2: They did. And then to your point, once again, it
Speaker 2: gives Trump carte blanche. Now they pretty much pardon any
Speaker 2: J six defendant who is not a part of a
Speaker 2: violent act on that day. It's gotten to the point
Speaker 2: of ridiculousness. I believe the American people the sentiment is
Speaker 2: on Trump's side, and with Biden completely overplaying his hand
Speaker 2: on the pardon issue, I don't think Donald Trump's going
Speaker 2: to catch much flak from anybody other than the hard left.
Speaker 1: Well, and this brings us back to why he had
Speaker 1: to speak truth to power today or to the powerless now,
Speaker 1: but he had to say it to their face. He
Speaker 1: goes into these legislative battles now and he's got this
Speaker 1: very thin margin in the House. He's going to need
Speaker 1: some Democrat senators maybe for certain things, and so he
Speaker 1: has to send the message to everybody that if you
Speaker 1: cross him, he's going to go after you publicly. So
Speaker 1: he has to maintain this strength which helped him in
Speaker 1: his first term, obviously helped him get a second term,
Speaker 1: and now he needs it to get his agenda through
Speaker 1: and as you alluded to, there are so many evil
Speaker 1: actors in the world. He needs it with them.
Speaker 2: He does. And Dan, I thought today it was just
Speaker 2: wonderful from start to finish, the message that it sends,
Speaker 2: the energy that I felt standing in Lyne in the
Speaker 2: brutal cold of Washington, DC. It was so many fervent
Speaker 2: Trump supporters that were determined to get in that building. Dan,
Speaker 2: it was packed. There was every bed of twenty thousand
Speaker 2: people in there at any one time. It was difficult
Speaker 2: to get in. There were many people who didn't. They
Speaker 2: were anticipating one hundred thousand people on the mall had
Speaker 2: been normal weather conditions or security conditions, as you and iporized.
Speaker 2: But I think there's just an energy level that's palpable.
Speaker 2: There's a confidence level too. I think that was maybe
Speaker 2: a little bit absent the first time around with Trump
Speaker 2: is he was kind of navigating the waters. He knows
Speaker 2: what he wants to do, he knows how he wants
Speaker 2: to do it, he knows who he wants to do
Speaker 2: it with, and you could tell by his actions as
Speaker 2: words today, Dan, he is ready to go. And as
Speaker 2: he is hitting the ground running today.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and his political opponents are on their heels
Speaker 1: now and Biden if they were on their heels before,
Speaker 1: Biden knocked them right onto their backsides. So Ryan tremendous
Speaker 1: job is always go get some food, Go get warm,
Speaker 1: go get whatever else you want to go get and
Speaker 1: then look forward to talking to you later.
Speaker 2: All right, rooting for your fighting Irish tonight too, Dan, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend. You take care of that. Is
Speaker 1: Ryan Shulan doing a great job. I knew he would
Speaker 1: get into that arena. So when we come back, want
Speaker 1: to get your take, get you some big highlights sound
Speaker 1: from the day. Just one of the most important days
Speaker 1: in American political history. And the best is you have
Speaker 1: to come. You're on the Dan cap Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: What a great day for America and how perfect that
Speaker 1: this inauguration came on MLKJ Because I have to believe
Speaker 1: doctor King very happy with what he saw today, and
Speaker 1: because certainly and President Trump so wise and appropriate to
Speaker 1: think black voters, Latino voters in particular today during his
Speaker 1: inaugural address, and because this is a key part of
Speaker 1: him winning obviously, but but into the future, is this
Speaker 1: shift now which is part of the shift of working
Speaker 1: people in general, you know, toward the GOP and that
Speaker 1: is critical for ongoing success in America. Eight F five
Speaker 1: for zero five A two five five the number text
Speaker 1: d A N five seven seven three nine. So I
Speaker 1: really want to get your take on some of the greatest,
Speaker 1: most important moments stake because it was a mix, right,
Speaker 1: there was so much fun stuff, you know, there's so
Speaker 1: much funny stuff, so much fun stuff, so much impressive stuff,
Speaker 1: interesting stuff, but so much I think that's going to
Speaker 1: be lasting. And now we got a number of executive
Speaker 1: orders signed tonight at the event at the Capitol One Center,
Speaker 1: but the President saying he was going back to the
Speaker 1: White House, and we just saw him walk back in
Speaker 1: there to sign a bunch more, including what he said
Speaker 1: will be j six pardons. So Biden's obviously made that
Speaker 1: a lot easier on him by doing all of that
Speaker 1: damage to Biden and the Democratic Party, hopefully with these
Speaker 1: very slimy pardons. On the way out, I want to
Speaker 1: get to some of the key sound of the day,
Speaker 1: and then I'll dive right in this segment to text
Speaker 1: as well. Let's start if you didn't hear it today,
Speaker 1: and if you did, you probably want to hear it again,
Speaker 1: with the President setting the tone right out of the
Speaker 1: gate with his theme, the Golden Age of America begins
Speaker 1: right now. Cut to please Zach.
Speaker 5: Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts,
Speaker 5: Justices of the United States Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush,
Speaker 5: President Obama, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and my fellow citizens.
Speaker 3: The Golden Age of America begins right now. From this
Speaker 3: day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again.
Speaker 1: All over the world. We will be the envy of
Speaker 1: every nation, and.
Speaker 5: We will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of
Speaker 5: any longer.
Speaker 3: During every single day of the Trump administration, I will
Speaker 3: very simply put America first.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love the golden age point, because I think
Speaker 1: that is going to be true. What we've seen since
Speaker 1: Election Day already suggests that's going to be true. Now listen,
Speaker 1: it's a human endeavor. There are always going to be
Speaker 1: setbacks and events that nobody sees coming. But I love
Speaker 1: the arc, and I think this is our very best
Speaker 1: chance for that. And there's a lot he can accomplish
Speaker 1: right with the phone in the pen, as Barack Obama said,
Speaker 1: including pardons pro lifers who this administration, this Biden administration
Speaker 1: so wrongfully, relentlessly pursued, you know, pardoning a pro lifer's
Speaker 1: commutation of sentences, etc. J six. Obviously, President Trump saying
Speaker 1: today that quoting him J six, hostages will be pardoned tonight,
Speaker 1: some release tonight. So it'll be interesting to see what
Speaker 1: happens on that front the administration, the new administration also
Speaker 1: saying it would be folks who are arrested, convicted for
Speaker 1: nonviolent offenses. So what watch as all of that comes down.
Speaker 1: I want to get to some of the text, but
Speaker 1: first just some of the other great sound from today.
Speaker 1: And I know it's a little odd to play benediction sound,
Speaker 1: but one of the enormous parts, arguably maybe the most
Speaker 1: enormous of the Trump victory, is protecting and preserving religious
Speaker 1: freedom less attack from the left at every level, local, state, national,
Speaker 1: because they know if you vote your faith, they lose,
Speaker 1: and so they've got to suppress religious freedom. Trump is
Speaker 1: a beacon of strength to protect and advance religious freedom.
Speaker 1: So the benedictions today, some were really powerful. Let's start
Speaker 1: with Reverend Lorenzo Suole's benediction. He is a preacher in Detroit.
Speaker 1: I thought was just incredibly powerful and great and also entertaining.
Speaker 1: Right cut fork.
Speaker 6: Please, Heavenly Father, were so greatankful that you gave our
Speaker 6: forty fifth and now our forty seventh president a millimeter miracle.
Speaker 6: We are grateful that you are the one that have
Speaker 6: called him for such a time as this, that America
Speaker 6: would begin to dream again. We pray that we would
Speaker 6: fulfill the true meaning of our creed, that we hold
Speaker 6: these truths to be self evident, that all men are
Speaker 6: created equal.
Speaker 7: We pray that you use our president that we will live.
Speaker 1: In a nation well we will not be judged by.
Speaker 8: The color of our skin, but by the content of
Speaker 8: our character. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we are.
Speaker 7: So grateful today that you will use our forty seventh president,
Speaker 7: so we would sing with new meaning, my country, sweet
Speaker 7: land of liberty, of the i Sene, land.
Speaker 8: Where my fathers die, Land of the pilgrim's pride. From
Speaker 8: every mountainside, let freedom ring. And because America is called
Speaker 8: to be a great nation, we believe that you will
Speaker 8: make this come true.
Speaker 1: So let freedom ring from.
Speaker 8: The prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from
Speaker 8: the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from
Speaker 8: the heightening deleghatties of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Let freedom ring from the.
Speaker 8: Snowcapped rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous
Speaker 8: hilltops of California.
Speaker 4: But God, we're asking you not only that.
Speaker 1: Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Speaker 8: Let freedom ring from the mountain that's in a scene.
Speaker 8: Let freedom ring from every hill and every mole hill
Speaker 8: in Mississippi, from every state, every city, every village, and
Speaker 8: every hamlets.
Speaker 7: And when we let freedom ring, we will be able.
Speaker 1: To speed up that day.
Speaker 8: All of your children, black men and white men, Protestant.
Speaker 9: And Catholic, you in Gentile will be able to sing
Speaker 9: in the meaning of that old Negro spiritual free, elast, free, elast,
Speaker 9: Thank you God Almighty, we are free. Alas if you
Speaker 9: believe what the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Speaker 1: Come on, put.
Speaker 6: Your hands together, Hey, give you a great goal.
Speaker 1: Red listen to the other day. In fact, we will
Speaker 1: play that again. Wow, We're gonna compact more great sounds
Speaker 1: from the day, will drive street into our text. This
Speaker 1: historically important day in America. Let's enjoy it together. You're
Speaker 1: on the Day Capitalist.
Speaker 4: Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: What a Day, and you think about how many people
Speaker 1: work so hard for so long to bring us to
Speaker 1: this day and one of those tipping point moments, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how life works, and for nations as well.
Speaker 1: This is a real tipping point day for America and
Speaker 1: great to see President Trump be so successful from election
Speaker 1: night forwards. So he comes into today with all that
Speaker 1: success and momentum, as he called it in his inaugural
Speaker 1: address today, the Trump Effect, and you can see that
Speaker 1: same level of high organization focus, et cetera continue through
Speaker 1: this first day. And it's not over yet, right because
Speaker 1: he's back in the Oval office right now, said that
Speaker 1: he would be signing executive orders. So we'll pass that
Speaker 1: news along to you as it comes in an eight
Speaker 1: F five for zero five eight two to five to
Speaker 1: five the number text D an five seven, seven thirty nine.
Speaker 1: Want to continue to get you some of this great,
Speaker 1: great sound from today, including some of these benedictions which
Speaker 1: tie into the substance of the presidency, et cetera. But
Speaker 1: they were also so well done and so soaring and
Speaker 1: inspiring and entertaining. But let me get some text in. Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm not a religious person, but the speech was simply moving.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that texture is referring to the
Speaker 1: benediction from the Detroit minister, Reverend Lorenzo Sewell that I
Speaker 1: played in the last segment, but yeah, that was very
Speaker 1: powerful and moving. Reverend. It's actually Cardinal Timothy Dolan's inauguration
Speaker 1: benediction was was also tremendous, and it was the first
Speaker 1: of the group. And remember it's Cardinal Dolan in New
Speaker 1: York who hosts the l Smith Dinner, the one that
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris decided to pass on this year remarkably, and
Speaker 1: so that may help explain in part why President Trump
Speaker 1: won the Catholic vote by many estimates at this point
Speaker 1: by fifteen percent, which would have been well beyond that
Speaker 1: the margin of national victory. Dan says a Texter investigation
Speaker 1: should be opened on everybody who got a preemptive pardon,
Speaker 1: not for prosecution purposes, but for letting the public know
Speaker 1: what really happened since January of twenty fourteen, and if
Speaker 1: they do lie to the FBI, give them the Martha
Speaker 1: Stewart treatment. This is such a critical point the Texter
Speaker 1: makes because people who are pardon now lose their Fifth
Speaker 1: Amendment right since they don't face the possibility of prosecution,
Speaker 1: federal prosecution. And so you could now as a congressional committee, etc.
Speaker 1: Call people in and question them and they wouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to take the fifth Now, let me put a
Speaker 1: little aastterick on that, because maybe some argue, well, there's
Speaker 1: a state charge they might face, and you know, the
Speaker 1: federal pardon, presidential pardon does not, as you know, relieve
Speaker 1: anybody of that state crime exposure. So you know, be
Speaker 1: interesting to see more so to me whether President Trump
Speaker 1: and the GOP decide to go down that road or
Speaker 1: be focused now on the other parts of their agenda.
Speaker 1: We will find that out together. But yeah, that that
Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment right wouldn't be there anymore, at least as
Speaker 1: it pertains to the possibility of federal prosecution. Dan regarding
Speaker 1: Trump's speech, like Prime said, we come in and I
Speaker 1: brought the receipts. Boy, that is so true. And if
Speaker 1: you haven't heard it or seen it yet, you know
Speaker 1: the fact that President Trump stood up there and directly
Speaker 1: spoke the truth about you know, Biden and Harris and
Speaker 1: other prominent Democrats on the stage. Again, I think was
Speaker 1: very important. Not so much because you know, it forced
Speaker 1: them to sit there and listen to it. I think
Speaker 1: there's real value in that, but because it was the truth.
Speaker 1: And President Trump's brand is that's how you get peace
Speaker 1: through strength, that's how you get legislative accomplishments. And it
Speaker 1: was very important to maintain that and to send that message,
Speaker 1: including the foreign adversaries, because there's so much evil on
Speaker 1: the world stage right now, to maintain that strength and
Speaker 1: you know, talk is cheap, you got to look them
Speaker 1: in the eye and you got to do it. And
Speaker 1: so the fact he was willing to say it with
Speaker 1: all of them sitting there, I thought that was very important,
Speaker 1: very effective because listen to these people now who might
Speaker 1: mess with his legislative agenda. They got to know that
Speaker 1: they'll be called out publicly. Bad actors on the world stage.
Speaker 1: You know where there's putin gie. You know, it's a
Speaker 1: long long list, right including the Iranian regime. They've got
Speaker 1: to know. They've got to know, as is they did before,
Speaker 1: that they need to fear Trump. Dan Will Trump's people
Speaker 1: be visiting the University of Delaware tomorrow morning. I do
Speaker 1: not expect them now to be going after Biden. If
Speaker 1: you're on the Trump team, aren't you sitting there right
Speaker 1: now saying, oh, my goodness, what a gift? Because what
Speaker 1: Biden did in this very slimy, last minute pardon of
Speaker 1: his family this morning, and listen, he did it when
Speaker 1: he knew that Trump had already walked into the rotunda,
Speaker 1: so Trump couldn't talk about it. That just tells your
Speaker 1: average American and who could blame them for thinking this, right,
Speaker 1: It's just kind of a common sensical kind of thing that, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're all guilty as hell, that Biden's corrupt. It tells
Speaker 1: the average American, I think the whole family's corrupt, And
Speaker 1: it tells the average American that the Democratic Party was
Speaker 1: corrupt for covering this up. So it's really, I think
Speaker 1: a major blow to the Democratic Party. And then add
Speaker 1: all these other pardons today of j six Committee members, etc.
Speaker 1: I think that's a major blow to the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: because it makes more than the people who are pardoned
Speaker 1: look guilty. It makes the entire Democratic Party look guilty
Speaker 1: for covering for them. So it just helps Trump in
Speaker 1: so many different ways. It helps him now focus on
Speaker 1: the rest of his agenda. So yeah, I don't expect
Speaker 1: him to be green lighting the GOP now going after
Speaker 1: the Biden family or anything like that. In terms of
Speaker 1: the J six Committee stuff, I do expect that you're
Speaker 1: going to see a very active investigation into what information
Speaker 1: did the committee obtain that was then not made public, etc. Dan,
Speaker 1: I work in Colorado oil and gas, and it's like
Speaker 1: everyone's favorite team won the Super Bowl. That from no
Speaker 1: code Dan, great to hear, my friend, and I think
Speaker 1: that extends across America into lots of different walks of life,
Speaker 1: including most critically, many many, many working people. Because for
Speaker 1: the GOP to succeed now during this term, for the
Speaker 1: GOP to succeed long term, it must be the party
Speaker 1: of the working people for two big reasons. First, if
Speaker 1: it's not, why do you even exist. Second, it can't
Speaker 1: win without being that. So yeah, I think an awful
Speaker 1: lot of people across America celebrating today. Now A Texter
Speaker 1: not so happy with me, and we sure do appreciate that.
Speaker 1: By the way, right now, watching the live feed of
Speaker 1: the President signing other executive orders will get you the
Speaker 1: substance really interesting. I think most, if not all presidents
Speaker 1: before him had used a certain type of cross pen.
Speaker 1: And in fact, I read that story once and ordered
Speaker 1: some of those pens up for the office and to
Speaker 1: give to clients and stuff. And it's just the greatest
Speaker 1: pen ever. It wouldn't matter who the person was, young, old, whatever,
Speaker 1: they'd grab the pen and they said, this is the
Speaker 1: greatest pen ever. President Trump going a different direction. He
Speaker 1: uses presidential sharpies because he has this tremendous signature, greatest
Speaker 1: signature I've ever seen, actually, which he uses a Sharpiefore,
Speaker 1: all right, the Texter, well not the only one unhappy
Speaker 1: with me, and the story of the day on your
Speaker 1: show and with the inauguration is unsupportive to statements. Just
Speaker 1: saying something doesn't make it true. I am happy Kamala lost,
Speaker 1: but half of our country isn't happy he won. Saying
Speaker 1: something won't be enough. I hope he lowers the deficit
Speaker 1: and debt on like his last turn. Saying MLK would
Speaker 1: love Trump or that most of the world respects him
Speaker 1: is a giant stretch. Texter. Thank you. I really wish
Speaker 1: you'd call the show because I'd love to have this conversation.
Speaker 1: I'd love to talk this out with you, because I
Speaker 1: don't make statements I can't back up, right, and so
Speaker 1: I'm a back it up or pack it up guy.
Speaker 1: So I'd love to have the conversation. By the way,
Speaker 1: I never said everybody in the nation now loves Trump,
Speaker 1: and so you know that this is what people sometimes
Speaker 1: do claim you said something you didn't. I never said that.
Speaker 1: Nobody would ever say that. But right now, you look
Speaker 1: at the polling, No, it's more than just the people
Speaker 1: who voted for Trump who are happy with Trump. And
Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of people voted for Trump,
Speaker 1: and not just in raw numbers, but you look at
Speaker 1: the demographics, you look at the shift, you look at
Speaker 1: working people, people of color, others who normally vote Democratic
Speaker 1: who voted for Trump, and it becomes more important than
Speaker 1: even the raw numbers. And then you get to the
Speaker 1: rest of this. No, I could The easiest thing I
Speaker 1: could do all day right now is back up my
Speaker 1: belief that doctor King is very, very happy with what
Speaker 1: he saw today because you look at the devastation that
Speaker 1: the modern Democratic Party has has wrought on people of color,
Speaker 1: black people, Latino's others, starting with glorifying, worshiping, the mass
Speaker 1: killing of blacks before births. That's what the modern Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: including Colorado, is built upon the mass killing of blacks
Speaker 1: before birth. Because every one of these lefties from Bennett
Speaker 1: taking loop for all of them, they know, they know
Speaker 1: that this on demand that they love and worship to
Speaker 1: the extreme that it kills four or five blacks for
Speaker 1: every white, and none of these children should be killed.
Speaker 1: So no, I think doctor King would be very very
Speaker 1: happy with what he saw today and what is unfolding
Speaker 1: now with the American GOP eight five five for zero
Speaker 1: five eight two five five text d an five seven
Speaker 1: seven thirty nine. By the time we come back, we
Speaker 1: should have more information on the additional executive orders and
Speaker 1: pardons President Trump is signing as we speak. You're on
Speaker 1: the Dankpla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 3: This week, I will also end the government policy of
Speaker 3: trying to socially engineered race and gender into every aspect
Speaker 3: of public and private life. We will forge a society
Speaker 3: that is colorblind and merit based. As of today, it
Speaker 3: will henceforth be the official policy of the United States
Speaker 3: government that there are only two genders, male and female.
Speaker 1: Wow the importance of that, but think about how bizarre
Speaker 1: it is. We'd ever get to the point we'd need
Speaker 1: an executive order on biology on something so undeniably true.
Speaker 1: But that's how whack it got in America. And I'm
Speaker 1: very happy to hear President Trump say that. Now. He
Speaker 1: just signed an executive order declaring a national emergency on
Speaker 1: the southern border, and just signed and I can't read
Speaker 1: the text at this point, but what the headlines are
Speaker 1: saying is a pardon of fifteen hundred January sixth defendants.
Speaker 1: And then you did the sentences of six That's the
Speaker 1: headline reporting right now. Will continue to update you between
Speaker 1: now and the end of the show, and of course
Speaker 1: cover much more of this on the show tomorrow. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine how great the ViBe's going to be tonight,
Speaker 1: how much fun they're going to have at this inauguration
Speaker 1: party that Lynn Kottrell and the Lincoln Club are throwing
Speaker 1: in Denver tonight, actually the Denver Tech Center, And they
Speaker 1: did this back in twenty seventeen when Trump was inaugurated
Speaker 1: the first time, and Amy and I just had a
Speaker 1: blast at it, and I'm so sad that I can't
Speaker 1: be there tonight, but it is going to be a
Speaker 1: phenomenal event tonight and I'm just jealous. They're going to
Speaker 1: have so much fun. And hey, want to thank Zach.
Speaker 1: Seekers We're not done with the show yet, but I
Speaker 1: want to make sure I don't forget. Sach has filled
Speaker 1: in today as producer on the show Ryan Live at
Speaker 1: the Capitol on Center and does Zach has done a
Speaker 1: truly remarkable job. I won't bore you a behind the
Speaker 1: scenes stuff, but just a truly remarkable job with all
Speaker 1: of the tech for today's show and the production of
Speaker 1: the show. So thank you for that, Sack. I want
Speaker 1: to get to some more of our text as well. Dan.
Speaker 1: Any chance of the liberal Supreme Court justice is any
Speaker 1: are planning to retire? I don't believe so, as you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure from the left right now in
Speaker 1: Justice so to my order to retire so there can
Speaker 1: be a younger justice appointed, and the left obviously fearing that,
Speaker 1: you know, she may become physically incapable during this term,
Speaker 1: obviously fearing that Republicans are going to win again in
Speaker 1: twenty eight. But that window is closed, right, So the
Speaker 1: pressure that was on her to retire while Biden could
Speaker 1: have named a replacement, that window is now closed. So
Speaker 1: moving forward, obviously, no pressure on the left to get
Speaker 1: any of them to retire now, and so it just
Speaker 1: it's one of the many ways this sets up perfectly
Speaker 1: now for America going forward, which is no guarantee, but
Speaker 1: when you look at how well Trump is done during
Speaker 1: the transition, he and his team, the fast start he's
Speaker 1: off to today, just every reason to believe there's going
Speaker 1: to be so much success that, hey, if he gets appointments,
Speaker 1: he's going to be able to get confirmations, and that
Speaker 1: beyond that that you will have a GOP successor in
Speaker 1: twenty eight, which virtually ensures expanding the majority on the
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court. So just love the way it's shaping up.
Speaker 1: And I respect Justice sout of my ard for not
Speaker 1: giving it that pressure that existed during the Biden tenure
Speaker 1: for her to step down another Texter Dan so inappropriate.
Speaker 1: How Laurence Sanchez Jeff Bezos fiance was dressed in the
Speaker 1: rotunda basically a blazer over a frillly bra, which she
Speaker 1: displayed memorable photo of Zuckenberg staring at her chest and
Speaker 1: bra class list that from Alexa very interesting and certainly
Speaker 1: a lot of feedback on that on social media today. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I just thought it was part of the color of today,
Speaker 1: and the Zuckenberger Zuckerberg stuff was pretty funny. But that
Speaker 1: leads to a bigger topic that we'll be talking about
Speaker 1: more tomorrow. Is so much good to come out of today,
Speaker 1: symbolically and otherwise. But having all those tech titans show
Speaker 1: up and essentially bend the knee, you know, right there
Speaker 1: with the Trump cabinet and family, I think is very
Speaker 1: valuable in a lot of ways, including the message it
Speaker 1: sends to America's enemies, and that is, hey, that there's
Speaker 1: unity here, and you look at some of the brightest,
Speaker 1: most successful people in the world, you know, up there,
Speaker 1: and you know, if not united with this president, certainly
Speaker 1: wanting to be very close to him. I think that
Speaker 1: sends very effective message abroad. I think it also sends
Speaker 1: an effective message domestically because Trump, in order to do
Speaker 1: some of the things he wants to do, he's going
Speaker 1: to have to get him through con and I think
Speaker 1: that sends a very helpful message to members of Congress
Speaker 1: from both parties. In fact, we saw Senator Michael Bennett today.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell from the camera angle if Hickelooper was
Speaker 1: there as well, but Bennett at the Trump luncheon, which
Speaker 1: is another sign, and there were only about two hundred people.
Speaker 1: There's only room for about two hundred people in that luncheon,
Speaker 1: so it sends another powerful sign. The Trump is ascended,
Speaker 1: and hopefully the GOP. Now Trump is more ascended than
Speaker 1: the GOP is, but hopefully the GOP moving along with
Speaker 1: him to some degree because Bennett right now probably you know,
Speaker 1: eyeing his upcoming re election bid in twenty eight and
Speaker 1: clearly even in Colorado now you know, and you're seeing
Speaker 1: it move well beyond Republicans. Had Trump's influence is growing,
Speaker 1: respect from growing, and that can only be good for America.
Speaker 1: So say a prayer for them. Off to a great start.
Speaker 1: Zach Seegers, thanks for your tremendous work today. Please join
