Speaker 1: This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast

Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and does the American way require that we get
Speaker 2: to the bottom of the Epstein scandal?
Speaker 3: And it is a scandal of massive proportions.
Speaker 2: So let me tell you right out of the gate,
Speaker 2: I am one hundred percent convinced that Donald Trump did
Speaker 2: nothing wrong when it came to Jeffrey Epstein, didn't commit
Speaker 2: any crimes. There's not going to be anything in any
Speaker 2: of these files that suggest any kind of criminal activity
Speaker 2: on the part of Donald Trump. I haven't seen anything anywhere,
Speaker 2: let alone common sense. Right. If there was anything on Trump,
Speaker 2: we all know that Biden and the left would have
Speaker 2: dumped that.
Speaker 3: On him during the campaign.
Speaker 2: So no, this is not about trying to cover up
Speaker 2: for some wrongdoing on the part of Donald Trump. I'm
Speaker 2: absolutely convinced of that. At the same time, do I
Speaker 2: think it's a political issue for the Trump campaign, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but probably not a very big one, right. I don't
Speaker 2: think America cares much about this. America hired Donald Trump
Speaker 2: to fix things. He's done a marvelous job in almost
Speaker 2: every category, and I think America is very pleased overall
Speaker 2: with President Trump. So I'm not saying, hey, we need
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of this Epstein thing because
Speaker 2: it's going to hurt Trump badly politically.
Speaker 3: I don't think it is.
Speaker 2: I think it's going to hurt the Democrats to overplay
Speaker 2: their hand on this. I mean, did you hear the
Speaker 2: news at the top, if you were listening in the
Speaker 2: Denver market, it's Jason Crowe say, no, Trump has to
Speaker 2: release all of this. What an absolute phony. But that's
Speaker 2: not news to anybody, right Where was Jason crow requiring
Speaker 2: the release of the Epstein files when Biden and the
Speaker 2: Democrats were in charge. Yeah, I don't think I heard
Speaker 2: any of that. But so I think politically that's not
Speaker 2: my issue. Politically, I want to see Trump and the
Speaker 2: Republicans do well for the sake of America.
Speaker 3: But this issue isn't going to hurt him.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I think it's so critical that the Epstein files be
Speaker 2: disclosed as a matter of right and wrong, and let's
Speaker 2: talk about what we mean by the Epstein files. But
Speaker 2: here's what's going on, and I think that an awful
Speaker 2: lot of folks just haven't had time to dig into
Speaker 2: this story and appreciate it.
Speaker 3: We had one of the biggest scandals, I think in the.
Speaker 2: History of the American justice system in two thousand and
Speaker 2: eight when Epstein was caught red handed with these major
Speaker 2: sex trafficking crimes and he got.
Speaker 3: Away with it. He got away with it.
Speaker 2: This is a case in the two thousand and eight
Speaker 2: to culminated. The first complaint came in in two thousand
Speaker 2: and five, and I'll get into those details.
Speaker 3: I'll warn you before I do. But in two thousand
Speaker 3: and eight, the Feds had him.
Speaker 2: They were going to take this perverted child rapist and
Speaker 2: put him in jail forever. And you can bet that
Speaker 2: stay in jail, if it was typical of what happened
Speaker 2: to child rapists, would have been far worse than any
Speaker 2: death penalty.
Speaker 3: They had him, and they let him go. They let
Speaker 3: him go.
Speaker 2: That's one of the biggest scandals in the history of
Speaker 2: the American justice system. That's where the focus.
Speaker 3: Needs to be. We need to get to the bottom
Speaker 3: of that. Did they let him go?
Speaker 2: Because I don't know the answer to this Did they
Speaker 2: let him go because he was some kind.
Speaker 3: Of intelligence asset.
Speaker 2: Did they let him go because he was super well
Speaker 2: connected and knew a lot of rich people.
Speaker 3: Did somebody get paid off? I don't think it was that.
Speaker 3: But we got to get to the bottom of that scandal.
Speaker 2: We must to be good Americans, to be intellectually honest,
Speaker 2: to show we care about protecting girls and women and
Speaker 2: prosecuting rapists. Because that was a scandal of the highest order.
Speaker 2: That's where we really need to be focused and get
Speaker 2: to the bottom of it. The later stuff, yeah, all
Speaker 2: of it, right, because once we get time to get
Speaker 2: into the full chronology, which will be in a minute,
Speaker 2: what you'll see is this guy was a child rapist
Speaker 2: pervert for years, you know, probably well, probably starting back
Speaker 2: in the eighties. And we'll get into some of that.
Speaker 2: It's just a story. If you read it in a novel,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't believe it. But in any case, it appears
Speaker 2: that he was flying below the radar on that criminal
Speaker 2: activity until it got closer to you know, two thousand
Speaker 2: and five, six, seven, eight, and then as it began
Speaker 2: to become public in seven. Okay, now it's on the
Speaker 2: public radar. So when you hear this talk about Donald
Speaker 2: Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and you see video of them
Speaker 2: at parties, you know, looking at attractive women together. That's
Speaker 2: before any criminality on the part of Epstein is on
Speaker 2: the public radar, and all indications are that Trump distanced
Speaker 2: himself once that popped up. But again, it's as simple
Speaker 2: as if Trump was guilty of anything, the Left would
Speaker 2: have used that during the campaign. If they could have
Speaker 2: even fabricated a lie about Trump on this, they would
Speaker 2: have used that during the campaign. So I understand right
Speaker 2: now this is probably inconvenient for the Trump White House,
Speaker 2: and that's probably why the president's so publicly frustrated. I
Speaker 2: get that because he's kicking He's doing extremely well right
Speaker 2: in all of these different categories, and it's probably frustrating
Speaker 2: to him that, you know that the Left is now
Speaker 2: glomming onto this and trying to divert attention from as
Speaker 2: many many big time accomplishments.
Speaker 3: So I think he's frustrated on a human level.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's at all worried about anything in
Speaker 2: there that would be embarrassing to him.
Speaker 3: Does his name show up somewhere, of course it does.
Speaker 2: I mean there are so many people who were in
Speaker 2: Epstein's orbit for professional or social reasons. This guy was
Speaker 2: throwing his money around to ingratiate himself in different social classes,
Speaker 2: had different charities to give thirty million bucks to Harvard,
Speaker 2: for example. So you had an awful lot of people
Speaker 2: in his orbit who were not involved in any of
Speaker 2: these child rapes, were not involved in funding it, fueling it,
Speaker 2: et cetera. At the same time, many trips did Bill
Speaker 2: Clinton make down to the island? Yeah, and those were
Speaker 2: all platonic, right, So that's a quick overview the prosecution.
Speaker 3: The prosecution that came.
Speaker 2: Just before he died in that jail cell in August tenth,
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. You know, that prosecution, I think was probably
Speaker 2: a reaction to some tremendous work done by the Miami
Speaker 2: Herald in twenty eighteen when they then did some deep
Speaker 2: dive investigative reporting into this horrific deal back in two.
Speaker 3: Thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: Now, was the Harold motivated by the fact that it
Speaker 2: was Trump's labor secretary who had been the lead prosecutor
Speaker 2: who cut this scandalous deal. Maybe it was, But in
Speaker 2: any case, it was a legit story. Alex Acosta that prosecutor.
Speaker 2: But you get this big Miami Herald piece in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: and at that time Epstein is out, I mean, is
Speaker 2: measily little thirteen month county jail sentence that he got
Speaker 2: for this child rape, multiple child rapes.
Speaker 3: You know that was long gone.
Speaker 2: He was back active in all of his business as society,
Speaker 2: et cetera. And then the Herald does his great work
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. It leads to more federal charges and
Speaker 2: that's how he ends up. Epstein does in jail in
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen July of twenty nineteen, and then of course
Speaker 2: he's dead in his jail cell August tenth, twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: So as you think about this, and I know it's
Speaker 2: hard when you're driving down the street to you know,
Speaker 2: think through a timeline, but in terms of major events,
Speaker 2: just think about two thousand and five, when the first
Speaker 2: complaint of this sex abuse of children rape comes in
Speaker 2: and then the investigation culminates. You've got and keep in mind,
Speaker 2: and we'll get into a more complete explanation of this
Speaker 2: after the break, and I'll give a warning, but keep
Speaker 2: in mind. You get this complaint come in in two
Speaker 2: thousand and five, and it's the mother of a fourteen
Speaker 2: year old. And if you have children in the car,
Speaker 2: I'll give you a couple of seconds. You might want
Speaker 2: to turn this off as I get into the details.
Speaker 2: Because Epstein had an mo with his child rape, and
Speaker 2: so I'll get into those details now. So what Epstein
Speaker 2: would do is he would get these young girls to
Speaker 2: go out to malls, to high schools, et cetera, and
Speaker 2: bring him young girls. The younger the better. And almost
Speaker 2: all of them it was illegal. You know, these were
Speaker 2: girls well under seventeen. It was illegal, but that's what
Speaker 2: he wanted. And so he would pay these girls to
Speaker 2: go to the malls, you know, high schools, et cetera,
Speaker 2: and recruit these young girls.
Speaker 3: And what the young girls.
Speaker 2: Would be offered is they'd be offered three hundred dollars cash,
Speaker 2: you know what, that's probably what four four fifty now
Speaker 2: to come to his home, his mansion, and to take
Speaker 2: off their clothes and give him a massage, and then
Speaker 2: he would pay them more for a their acts, other
Speaker 2: sex acts, and then he would pay them to go
Speaker 2: out and bring him more young girls.
Speaker 3: And so he developed.
Speaker 2: This pyramid scheme and often he would have two or
Speaker 2: three girls a day at the house two or three
Speaker 2: different young girls, and so eventually the mother of a
Speaker 2: fourteen year old reports him to the police. Palm Beach
Speaker 2: police get involved, and they interview this girl, and each
Speaker 2: time they interview a girl, it leads them to multiple
Speaker 2: other victims, because that was his scheme, right to build
Speaker 2: this pyramid of recruiters.
Speaker 3: And so all of a.
Speaker 2: Sudden, the Palm Beach Police are sitting there saying, we've
Speaker 2: got this gigantic sex trafficking operation.
Speaker 3: So they go to the FEDS.
Speaker 2: They say, this is you know, this is big, this
Speaker 2: is bigger than us. But they're also frustrated that they
Speaker 2: aren't getting enough prosecution out of their local state prosecutor.
Speaker 2: So law enforcement's doing great on this. They go to
Speaker 2: the FEDS, they bring the FEDS in, and then the
Speaker 2: deal that was cut by the Feds to protect Depstein
Speaker 2: again where I started the show, one of the worst
Speaker 2: scandals in American legal history. So we'll pick that up
Speaker 2: after the break. But what I want to do is
Speaker 2: get your thoughts DA N five seven seven three nine
Speaker 2: to text three oh three seven one three eight two
Speaker 2: five five to call. I want to get your thoughts
Speaker 2: on what you think Trump should do with all of this.
Speaker 2: See if you agree with me that it's not hurting
Speaker 2: him politically in any meaningful way, but also that just
Speaker 2: as a matter of right and wrong, we've got to
Speaker 2: get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 3: You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 5: Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the
Speaker 5: White House lawn. The last time he staged a fight
Speaker 5: in DC, Mike Pens almost died.
Speaker 4: You don't have to do that. It was fine.
Speaker 5: I didn't write it. Actually, there was supposed to be
Speaker 5: an Epstein joke here, but as it got deleted, must
Speaker 5: have probably deleted itself. Right, probably never existed. Actually, let's
Speaker 5: move on as a country and ignore that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Shane Gillis at the SP's last night, ABC, right, Disney, etc.
Speaker 3: Though you know, I.
Speaker 2: Think it's great to live in the era of Trump
Speaker 2: where free speech is back now, because there were a
Speaker 2: number of those jokes last night that I don't think
Speaker 2: Disney would have aired a year or two ago. My friend,
Speaker 2: as we continue to deep dive this Jeffrey Epstein scandal,
Speaker 2: and if you weren't with us at the start of
Speaker 2: the show, my point is that the real scandal, and
Speaker 2: it is a scandal of historic proportions, occurred in two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight when the FEDS had Epstein on mass
Speaker 2: trafficking of young women, many many, many victims, different forms
Speaker 2: of sex abuse charges available to them, and they let
Speaker 2: them walk.
Speaker 3: They cut this deal where the Feds get this.
Speaker 2: The Feds in the two thousand and eight deal agreed
Speaker 2: not to prosecute, not to prosecute Epstein, not to prosecute
Speaker 2: his associates, not to prosecute unnamed associates. But Epstein would
Speaker 2: just have to plead guilty on a couple of these
Speaker 2: flimsy little not flimsy, I mean, the evidence was overwhelming,
Speaker 2: but these relatively minors stay charges of engaging these miners
Speaker 2: for prostitution. First of all, these weren't prostitutes. They were victims,
Speaker 2: So how dare they label these child victims as prostitutes?
Speaker 2: And then he gets thirteen months in the county jail,
Speaker 2: but A it's in this special wing of the county jail,
Speaker 2: and b he gets to take twelve hours a day
Speaker 2: and go spend it in his fancy office. And then
Speaker 2: he doesn't even serve the whole sentence. So this whole
Speaker 2: thing is obviously rigged. This whole a scandal, and that's
Speaker 2: what we need to really get to the bottom of.
Speaker 3: Now. Is it because he was an intelligent intelligence agent?
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was or not. Is it
Speaker 2: for some other reason, whatever it is, We've got to
Speaker 2: get to the bottom of that, because that's just absolutely wrong.
Speaker 2: And again, I don't say this because I think it's
Speaker 2: a big political problem for Trump. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: a political problem for Trump long term at all. You know,
Speaker 2: I think it's going to hurt the Democrats more as
Speaker 2: they try to make a big deal out of this
Speaker 2: when Trump is running the country so well, we do
Speaker 2: have a little polling on that. Let's go to nineteen
Speaker 2: cut nineteen. This is Harriette Non CNN.
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I think this one surprised me a
Speaker 6: bit because of all these complaints online going after Trump
Speaker 6: and the X teamfage. You might think is approval ratings
Speaker 6: were going down Republicans. If anything, they're going up Republicans.
Speaker 4: Who approve of Trump.
Speaker 6: Look at our CNN poll, the prior one eighty six percent,
Speaker 6: the one out this week.
Speaker 4: Eighty eight percent with Republicans.
Speaker 6: How about Quinnipiac. The prior poll eighty seven percent approval Republicans,
Speaker 6: this week out ninety percent with Republicans. If anything, Donald
Speaker 6: Trump's approval rating has gone up since this whole Epstein
Speaker 6: saga started. He is at the apex or close there too,
Speaker 6: in terms of his popularity with Republican voters. Epstein files
Speaker 6: complaints or not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't say any of this as a
Speaker 2: matter of politics. This is a matter of right and wrong.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Trump needs to get to the bottom
Speaker 2: of this to help himself politically or avoid a disaster
Speaker 2: in the mid terms, none of that. If anything, again,
Speaker 2: it's going to backfire on the Dems because people are smart, right,
Speaker 2: and it's like, wait a second, Democrats, you had the
Speaker 2: White House for four years.
Speaker 3: He didn't tell us anything about Epstein.
Speaker 2: I'm just talking about right and wrong, and I think
Speaker 2: it's as close to your heart as it is to mine.
Speaker 3: But I've devoted my.
Speaker 2: Professional life to the legal system, right and I know
Speaker 2: there are a ton of great people working in it,
Speaker 2: and it has a lot of integrity overall.
Speaker 3: But the only way that.
Speaker 2: You earn and keep respect for the system is when
Speaker 2: you've got a cancer got to identify it. You've got
Speaker 2: to get to the truth, and you got to cut
Speaker 2: it out. And Americans want these answers, and I think
Speaker 2: it's very important they get them. Three h three someone
Speaker 2: three eight two five five text d an five seven
Speaker 2: seven three nine. So again, if you just joined, just
Speaker 2: just a quick warning as we talk about the reality
Speaker 2: of this Epstein case, there will be some graphics stuff
Speaker 2: and the gist of it, and I'm trying to keep
Speaker 2: it forty thousand foot, but the gist of it, and
Speaker 2: it continued throughout, is you had this child sex trafficking
Speaker 2: operation going on in multiple countries at the same time,
Speaker 2: and in the US it consisted of of recruiting young
Speaker 2: girls from malls and high schools, and often it would
Speaker 2: be young girls who had then been raped and who
Speaker 2: were then paid to go out and recruit other young
Speaker 2: girls in to come to Epstein's home where they would
Speaker 2: their job was going to be to take their clothes
Speaker 2: off and give them a massage, and then he would
Speaker 2: pay them additional amounts for four sex, all of which
Speaker 2: was raped. By the way, these girls are almost all
Speaker 2: of them are under the age of consent. And then
Speaker 2: he had what he labeled a sex slave and eighteen
Speaker 2: year old from a foreign country who would then come
Speaker 2: in and he'd paid more for these young girls to
Speaker 2: have sex with his eighteen year old sex slave. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's the most twisted, perverted stuff you can imagine, all
Speaker 2: child rape.
Speaker 3: And that's what our.
Speaker 2: Federal government covered up and let him walk on. And
Speaker 2: we got to get to the bottom of that. And
Speaker 2: all of that was in two thousand and eight. And
Speaker 2: then at the same time, you've got his island in
Speaker 2: the Caribbean, and you have operations over in Europe, and
Speaker 2: all of this is happening not on the same day,
Speaker 2: at the same time, but in the same time period.
Speaker 2: And you know, the very reliable reporting Miami Herald has
Speaker 2: led the way on this is that you would have
Speaker 2: all of these homes. You know, we're wired for video
Speaker 2: all over the place, including in bathrooms, etc. And I
Speaker 2: don't think one thinking per and on the face of
Speaker 2: the earth would doubt that there was all sorts of
Speaker 2: video that was kept for perverted purposes as well as
Speaker 2: for blackmail purposes. So let's be real about what's going
Speaker 2: on here. But I'm one hundred percent convinced that there
Speaker 2: was no involvement of Donald Trump in any kind of
Speaker 2: criminal activity, any of this sex with young girls or
Speaker 2: any of that stuff. No evidence whatsoever of that in
Speaker 2: common sense tells you we would know it. The Democrats
Speaker 2: would have put it out there. Democrats would have made
Speaker 2: up the lie if they thought they could get away
Speaker 2: with the lie. So now this is just about getting
Speaker 2: to the bottom of a scandal, and America deserves to know.
Speaker 2: Three or three someone three eight two five five texts
Speaker 2: d An five seven seven three nine. Some interesting facts
Speaker 2: about this monster that may surprise some folks. He, you know,
Speaker 2: grew up a great parents. One worked at parks and
Speaker 2: rec the other a school aid. Never got a college degree,
Speaker 2: never got a college degree, went on to make all
Speaker 2: of those millions with out of college degree. Got hired
Speaker 2: at a private school without a college degree, and that's
Speaker 2: how he triggered his big success, because he was teaching
Speaker 2: the children of the CEO of bear Stearns and he connected.
Speaker 3: With that CEO.
Speaker 2: That ceo gave him his first job as a floor trader. Now, interestingly,
Speaker 2: he got fired from that private school where he was
Speaker 2: teaching the kids of the CEO, but still got the job.
Speaker 2: And then he sort of launched things from there, and
Speaker 2: there were different points in his career that became accelerants.
Speaker 2: But he got all this money and then he started
Speaker 2: to use it to procure the island. Developed This child's
Speaker 2: sex trafficking operation obviously involved a lot of powerful people
Speaker 2: in it.
Speaker 3: If you're on the Dan Capla.
Speaker 4: Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 5: More Time WNBA All Star Britney Hicks's here, give it
Speaker 5: up for Brittany. I'm joking around. That's my friend's wife.
Speaker 3: I knew.
Speaker 5: None of you knew w NBA players.
Speaker 2: That's just that's crazy, ever, isn't it right? That's one
Speaker 2: of the greatest jokes of all time. Well, I mean
Speaker 2: that's the SPS and everybody's clapping for Brittany.
Speaker 3: She's never played a minute of basketball.
Speaker 7: They don't know, they don't care. There's trying to show
Speaker 7: that they look like they care. And this is the
Speaker 7: part he gets right in on them at the end.
Speaker 5: That's crazy you clap with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right, but it just shows right. I mean,
Speaker 3: I love that. And yeah, he went over the.
Speaker 2: Edge a few times last night, but I'm still laughing.
Speaker 2: I Mean, that was there was so much in there
Speaker 2: that was funny. Let's see Bill Belichick and his twenty
Speaker 2: four year old girlfriend.
Speaker 3: Can we play that on this show?
Speaker 4: Of course we can.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay twenty two.
Speaker 5: A Hey, Bookie, is what Bill Belichick reads to his
Speaker 5: girlfriend before bedtime?
Speaker 4: They do. They read the very Horny.
Speaker 5: Caterpillar, the Little Engine that Could, but needed a pill first,
Speaker 5: and of course the classic good Night Boots.
Speaker 3: That's my favorite one.
Speaker 5: Also, I'm not trashing Bill Belichie. First off, he's seventy
Speaker 5: three years old. He's dating a hot twenty four year
Speaker 5: old and people are criticizing him. What happened to this country?
Speaker 5: It needs to be a great country. He won six
Speaker 5: Super Bowls.
Speaker 3: Place.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's dating a hot twenty four year old.
Speaker 5: Maybe if you guys won six super Bowls, you wouldn't
Speaker 5: be sitting next to a fat, ugly dog wife.
Speaker 3: They let me do it.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 5: This is Disney. They allowed them.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so yeah, no wild night at the SP's
Speaker 2: glad you're here. Hey, we started the show. We've been
Speaker 2: deep diving this Epstein thing in the headline on it.
Speaker 2: I'll get to some text and calls. We have other tops,
Speaker 2: but the headline on it is listen to real scandal
Speaker 2: and what we have to get to the bottom of,
Speaker 2: you know, for the sake of being true to the
Speaker 2: truth and the American justice system, is that the two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight scandal when they the plea deal was cut,
Speaker 2: when they had him, he would have been in jail
Speaker 2: for life on child sex trafficking. They had him and
Speaker 2: they let him off the hook. And why was that done?
Speaker 3: And this was on the federal level. Why was that done?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we need to get to the
Speaker 2: bottom of, no matter where those those chips fall.
Speaker 3: But again my starting.
Speaker 2: Point is this is not a political problem for President Trump,
Speaker 2: and I don't think there's even a one percent chance
Speaker 2: that he did anything wrong along the way here. So
Speaker 2: I don't say this because of that kind of concern.
Speaker 2: I say it because this is a scandal. We need
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of it. That man should
Speaker 2: have been in jail for life in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: We need to know why he wasn't. Three h three
Speaker 2: seOne three eight two five five text d an five
Speaker 2: seven seven three nine, A lot of other ground to cover,
Speaker 2: my friend, I want to get to a couple of
Speaker 2: texts on this. Kudos to Ryan for the Abba song
Speaker 2: played during the break. Oh why, I didn't know they
Speaker 2: had that many fans out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad to see. Oh.
Speaker 2: Speaking this, I know we don't have any way to
Speaker 2: show the video here, but I imagine everybody's seen it
Speaker 2: by now.
Speaker 3: Do you see that.
Speaker 2: Video of the CEO and head of HR at the
Speaker 2: Cold Plates apparently in the middle of an affair.
Speaker 3: Did you see that? Yeah? Not gorh My goodness. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If I'll paint the picture for people only because it's hilarious,
Speaker 2: and that is you know, like every game you go
Speaker 2: to now and I love it. They have the kiss
Speaker 2: cam and it drives my wife crazy because we'll be
Speaker 2: at a game together and I'm trying to get on
Speaker 2: the kiss cam with her, you know, like I'm waving
Speaker 2: my arms, Hey, bring it over here, and we never
Speaker 2: get on the kiss cam. And I've got my move
Speaker 2: all prepared for when we do. But they're at the
Speaker 2: Coldplay concert and you've got this. And now I'm just
Speaker 2: basing this off of multiple media reports. I've seen the videos.
Speaker 2: I think all Americans and all humans have at this
Speaker 2: point because it's so funny. But you got this guy
Speaker 2: standing up there and he's got Dan, good looking guy,
Speaker 2: wouldn't you say, Ryan, Probably what around fifty or so,
Speaker 2: you know, And he's got his arms around the ways
Speaker 2: to this good looking gale standing in front of him,
Speaker 2: and as soon as the camera comes on them, they
Speaker 2: both look absolutely mortified, like Charlie Manson's coming right at him,
Speaker 2: and then they you know, he literally hits the floor
Speaker 2: and she turns her back and the guy on stage,
Speaker 2: he's running the camera.
Speaker 3: I think it was part of the band, right, he says.
Speaker 2: Boy, those two must be having an affair or very shy,
Speaker 2: and of course the Internet made quick work of it.
Speaker 2: So both are married now they are, or at least
Speaker 2: were at this time yesterday.

Speaker 7: Wow, what a way to have it all come to
Speaker 7: a calamitous end. Wow, I'm a jumbo tron at a Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're not in a basketball game to expecting that.
Speaker 7: Well, Dan, I'm more offended by the fact that it
Speaker 7: was a Cold Play concert.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean who goes to cold exactly? Thank you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: One good song ever? And then they have him at
Speaker 2: the super Bowl? Why were they at super Bowl fifty?
Speaker 2: But I digress, I digress. So, yeah, have you ever
Speaker 2: been on kiss cam? You know, I know, I don't
Speaker 2: know anybody who's ever made it to kiss Caim. I
Speaker 2: wonder if those people are plants.
Speaker 7: No, no, they were, like you said, they were mortified.
Speaker 7: The last thing they wanted to have happened was that,
Speaker 7: and he disappeared. It's funny if you watch this on
Speaker 7: the internet, if you can find at listeners at home,
Speaker 7: he just ducks out of the frame and she turns
Speaker 7: tails and run and then it tells you all you
Speaker 7: needed to know in that moment.
Speaker 3: And I think we can be pretty darn sure everybody.
Speaker 2: Listening has seen advice you think, so right, I don't
Speaker 2: know that there's ever been anything more viral.
Speaker 3: Oh right. And she's head of HR not anymore. Well,
Speaker 3: he's the CEO. I mean, she's head of HR.
Speaker 4: I can't continue.
Speaker 2: And you know that woman who's tour left in the video, Yeah,
Speaker 2: what is that all about? Well she is I think
Speaker 2: she's employed in HR. Oh so yeah, but who knows.
Speaker 2: I don't want to speculate on any of that. Three
Speaker 2: or three someone three eight two five fivext an.
Speaker 3: Five seven seven three nine So aden, yes.
Speaker 4: Sir, you told me there was a visitor lurking in
Speaker 4: your midst there.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, I was talking to ryanoff Heir. I'm
Speaker 2: up doing trial prep now. And so I'm in this
Speaker 2: cabin up in the mountains where i do my most
Speaker 2: of my trial prep. And you know, this is fairly isolated,
Speaker 2: and so last night, you know, I'm in a cabin,
Speaker 2: so I'm not worried about the you know, the drapes
Speaker 2: in the bedroom.
Speaker 3: And so I'm getting dressed.
Speaker 2: And you know how you can kind of feel it
Speaker 2: when somebody's looking at you.
Speaker 3: Oh man, do you know that feeling?
Speaker 2: I think everybody knows that feeling, and it's it's amazing
Speaker 2: that we've been given that sense. And I look over
Speaker 2: and there's there's like maybe twenty yards from the house,
Speaker 2: twenty five yards down this trail.
Speaker 3: I see this female looking in the window.
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, I'm serious, and I'm thinking, no, this
Speaker 2: ain't right, this ain't right. And yeah, so just just odd.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, didn't lose any sleep over it
Speaker 2: just odd.
Speaker 4: Well wait a minute, was this like an apparition? You
Speaker 4: got to give us.
Speaker 2: Sometil No apparition. It was some female looking in the window.
Speaker 2: Thank goodness that I had not completed the active but
Speaker 2: who's just changing.
Speaker 4: Walks around looking at the people's cabins.
Speaker 3: Well, I was wondering the same thing myself.
Speaker 7: If the roles were reversed and this woman was in
Speaker 7: a cabin in some state of undress and you went
Speaker 7: lurking through and looked in, the cops would be there.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I'm sorry. Right, Yeah, you just triggered
Speaker 2: a talk topic that I I don't want to go to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean would you look in?
Speaker 2: Say, if you're out in the middle of nowhere in
Speaker 2: the mountains, man, you come upon this cabin and you
Speaker 2: know that the person in the cabin assumes they're fine
Speaker 2: because there wouldn't be anybody to look in r and
Speaker 2: you're looking in the cabin and a person's in a
Speaker 2: state of undress, you wouldn't look.
Speaker 7: I mean, I wouldn't make an extra effort. But if
Speaker 7: I'm on the public road and I'm not on the property.
Speaker 3: You're not on a public road, you're in the woods.
Speaker 4: Legal terms here, I don't want to be a peeping tom.
Speaker 4: But if it's on display and I'm on the road
Speaker 4: and I'm on a public right, you know, I think
Speaker 4: I'm good.
Speaker 2: It's not a road, it's not a public way, they're
Speaker 2: looking at you.
Speaker 3: Then in the woods.
Speaker 4: What was she doing there looking at you? Who was
Speaker 4: this woman?
Speaker 3: Dan?
Speaker 4: Who's this mystery woman checking you out?
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but she apparently couldn't look away.
Speaker 3: Uh oh no, hey, you know, I know you're any.
Speaker 7: On her way right now to hunt this woman down.
Speaker 7: I'm telling you that, Holy count, I.
Speaker 3: Thought you were put in the institution. What's that? I thought?
Speaker 2: Seriously, I told Ryan during the break, I thought you
Speaker 2: were going to say something about the deer, your famous deer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
Speaker 2: there's this deer who would always come by and listen
Speaker 2: to the show, sit right out here under a tree.
Speaker 2: But I think I figured out what's going on because
Speaker 2: I think it's the same guy. He came by yesterday
Speaker 2: and he's just gotten too big to sit under the tree. Oh,
Speaker 2: I'll send you a picture. I mean, he still combuy
Speaker 2: please to window all that, but I think he's too
Speaker 2: big to sit under the tree. But I'm more concerned
Speaker 2: about the other because that's that's a little twisted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a little twisted. But hey, what the heck?
Speaker 3: No harm done? Three or three?
Speaker 2: Someone three eight two five five takes d A N
Speaker 2: five seven, seven three nine.
Speaker 3: Hey, when we come back, what do you.
Speaker 2: Think Trump should do, if anything, right now with this
Speaker 2: Epstein thing. My own belief is it's backfiring on the
Speaker 2: damn It's not going to hurt him politically, but we
Speaker 2: do need to get to the bottom of it in
Speaker 2: one part of it, in particular, you're on the Dan
Speaker 2: Capless Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dankapless Show podcast.
Speaker 3: Taken hold and hurt him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean on X all you hear about is
Speaker 6: the Epstein files. But how about out in the real
Speaker 6: public Republicans who said the top issue was Epstein case,
Speaker 6: The answer is one one and not one percent. One responded.
Speaker 6: This is a great little finding that Ariel Edwards Levy,
Speaker 6: who of course is part of our polling unit, found
Speaker 6: just one single Republican said that the nation's top problem
Speaker 6: is in fact the Epstein case. Not much of a
Speaker 6: surprise that therefore, Donald Trump's approval rating has not suffered
Speaker 6: with Republicans because of the Epstein case, because the bottom line,
Speaker 6: as most Americans say, it's not up.
Speaker 4: High up on their priority list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I understand the anchor had to ask a
Speaker 2: set up question, but how do you ask it with
Speaker 2: the straight face. Cheez, why don't more Americans care about this?
Speaker 2: Cause the country's doing so well. That's what they hired
Speaker 2: him to do. And my goodness, First of all, there's
Speaker 2: no indication Trump is guilty of any kind of impropriety
Speaker 2: at all. But then you go back to twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: He got elected president against long odds just a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks after the Hollywood Access tapes, remember, and America
Speaker 2: made it clear, we got a mess on our hands
Speaker 2: and we need.
Speaker 3: Somebody who can really fix it.
Speaker 2: And he did then until COVID got him, and he's
Speaker 2: doing it again now and Americans are really happy with that.
Speaker 3: I bet his.
Speaker 2: Real world approval, like in people's minds and hearts, is
Speaker 2: so much higher than you even see in the polls,
Speaker 2: because you know, there are a lot of people who
Speaker 2: just won't admit it to their families or whatever. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he's getting the job done now. I wonder if he's
Speaker 2: going to get some Wall Street Journal money. Here this
Speaker 2: story breaking today, and I put breaking in quotes on
Speaker 2: the journal. Jeffrey Epstein's friends send him body letters for
Speaker 2: the fiftieth birthday album. One was from Donald Trump. So
Speaker 2: I'll give you a couple of details on this, and
Speaker 2: then the president's response. It was Jeffrey Epstein's fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 2: Gailanne Maxwell preparing a special gift to mark the occasion.
Speaker 2: Turned Epstein's family and friends. One was Donald Trump. Collected
Speaker 2: letters from Trump and dozens of Epstein's other associates for
Speaker 2: a two thousand and three birthday album. Now keep that
Speaker 2: date in mind, okay, because there was no indication of
Speaker 2: criminality on the part of Epstein publicly.
Speaker 3: Until two thousand and five.
Speaker 2: But in any case, it goes on from there, uh
Speaker 2: pages leather bound album, and then to the journal's credit,
Speaker 2: they say this was years before Epstein was charged with crimes.
Speaker 2: But then they get to the alleged letter, which the
Speaker 2: president denies.
Speaker 3: It says.
Speaker 2: The letter bearing Trump's name, which was reviewed by the journal,
Speaker 2: is body like others in the album, It contains several
Speaker 2: lines of typewritten text trained by the outline of a
Speaker 2: naked woman, which appears to be hand drawn.
Speaker 3: From a heavy marker.
Speaker 2: A pair of small arcs denotes the woman's breasts, and
Speaker 2: the future president's signature is a squiggly Donald blow her
Speaker 2: waist mimicking pubic.
Speaker 3: Here. Now Ryan does that sound like trick. Give me
Speaker 3: a break it.
Speaker 2: The letter concludes, Happy Birthday, and may every day be
Speaker 2: another wonderful secret. In an interview with the journal on Thursday,
Speaker 2: Tuesday named Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the picture. Quote,
Speaker 2: this is not me. This is a fake thing. It's
Speaker 2: fake Wall Street Journal. I never wrote a picture in
Speaker 2: my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not
Speaker 2: my language, it's not my words. He told the journal
Speaker 2: he was preparing to file a lawsuit if it published
Speaker 2: an article. I'm going to sue the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 2: just like I sued everyone else in one Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Now he's won a bunch three oh three someone three
Speaker 2: eight two five five the number text d an five
Speaker 2: seven seven three nine. Here's the point, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: first of all, I believe the president on that second,
Speaker 2: So what if he did, Why why would the journal
Speaker 2: make a story out of this when even if it happened,
Speaker 2: it would have been before there was any indication of
Speaker 2: criminality by Epstein. And Trump's been open about the fact
Speaker 2: he's done interviews, et cetera that you know, hey, Epstein
Speaker 2: liked beautiful women, Trump did too. Nobody thought either of them,
Speaker 2: you know, was a saint when it came to their
Speaker 2: social life, but no indication whatsoever of criminality. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so he says something unfortunate about the journal there. I
Speaker 2: still think the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 2: are very solid, but the news pages, that's I think
Speaker 2: that's garbage.
Speaker 3: Right there.
Speaker 2: Three or three someone three A two five five text
Speaker 2: D eight N five seven seven three nine. Doctor Catherine
Speaker 2: Wheeler will join us at five oh six, as she
Speaker 2: does every Thursday. It's great to have a medical doctor's
Speaker 2: perspective on key issues and the abortion debate, right and
Speaker 2: as you know, my view is based on medical fact.
Speaker 3: There's really not a debate.
Speaker 2: It's just taking of an innocent human life on a
Speaker 2: mass scale and it's wrong and we got to stop.
Speaker 2: But it's great to have the doctor's perspective as well.
Speaker 2: So she drops in every Thursday at five or six.
Speaker 3: And Ryan, it's hard.
Speaker 2: To think of a guest who is more precise and
Speaker 2: organized and to the point, can you think of anybody.
Speaker 4: Well, especially with her background.
Speaker 7: You know, you've had Andy Johnson on I think similarly,
Speaker 7: and she worked at one of these centers. But doctor Wheeler,
Speaker 7: of course was involved in these procedures from a scientific,
Speaker 7: a medical standpoint and can speak to that part of
Speaker 7: it in detail and from an informed perspective that leaves
Speaker 7: no doubt about where the right side of the pro
Speaker 7: life debate is and what actually happens during an abortion.
Speaker 2: And it's one of the wonderful things about the pro
Speaker 2: life movement is the greatest heroes in the movement are
Speaker 2: doctors who used to conduct abortions and then realized what
Speaker 2: it really was and how wrong it was, and are
Speaker 2: now outsaving lives. And Abby Johnson who ran a plant
Speaker 2: paranoid clinic, and then above all the women who've had
Speaker 2: abortions and then became pro life, you know. So no,
Speaker 2: those are the real heroes of the movement and they
Speaker 2: save a lot of lives. So it is great to
Speaker 2: have the doctor's perspective each Thursday, and then much more ahead.
Speaker 3: One thing I want to get.
Speaker 2: Into is there is this sea change when it comes
Speaker 2: to diamonds, and now with all of these lab produced diamonds,
Speaker 2: the real diamond market is in danger of going out
Speaker 2: of business. Are these lab diamonds at all wrong? Would
Speaker 2: you be embarrassed
