Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Yeah. Well, hope
Speaker 1: you're having a very meaningful good Friday. And boy, what
Speaker 1: a not good friday it is, right, just so snowy
Speaker 1: and slushy kind of across Colorado. But the sun's going
Speaker 1: to come out. Sun's going to come out over the weekend.
Speaker 1: And that's why I like days like this so much, right,
Speaker 1: because if it was just sunny and green every day, yeah,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't appreciate it as much. But boy, yeah what
Speaker 1: a day. And some tough sledding, but it's not really
Speaker 1: sticking to the highway, right, it's more slush and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. And I had the pleasure of starting my
Speaker 1: day to day six thirty meeting share frames up at
Speaker 1: the Denny's and Thornton and just a wonderful breakfast. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's he's just such a cool guy and wanted to
Speaker 1: pick a brain on a wide range of topics and
Speaker 1: a great way to start the day. I'd like to
Speaker 1: say i'd be traffic, but what time do you think
Speaker 1: rush hour starts now? Because I'm an early morning guy, right,
Speaker 1: I'm up super early anyway, but normally not doing a
Speaker 1: whole lot of highway travel early. But yeah, this morning
Speaker 1: driving up to Thornton, it I thought it was three
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, So I guess it's kind of perpetual
Speaker 1: rush So do be careful out there. Three h three
Speaker 1: someone three A two five five of the number text
Speaker 1: d A N five seven seven three nine. I thoroughly
Speaker 1: entertained myself getting ready for this show to start because
Speaker 1: Ryan Shuley, who does great show in the Denver market
Speaker 1: before this one, looks like you and your Texters were
Speaker 1: pretty obsessed with the latest Blue Origin flight.
Speaker 2: Well, it was one of our nominees for my Friday
Speaker 2: Fool of the Week installment, and they couldn't quite overtake
Speaker 2: your favorite Senator in mine, Michael Bennett, who won it.
Speaker 1: Oh Man, this Bennett stuff. I'm it's just so good
Speaker 1: and it's just so funny. But the gift that keeps
Speaker 1: on given, and we should have a little pool. Can
Speaker 1: we get some sponsor to donate a big screen or
Speaker 1: something some kind of prize for the person who picks
Speaker 1: to the minute when Phil Wiser is going to be
Speaker 1: run out of the race, trampled out of the race,
Speaker 1: driven out of the race by Michael Bennett, because it's
Speaker 1: going to be sooner than later?
Speaker 3: Do you think, Dan, And this is just a hypothetical.
Speaker 2: If Wiser had done the wise thing and used this
Speaker 2: opportunity that's been presented to him by Kyle Clark the
Speaker 2: Denver Post. Clearly a conflict of interest in Bennett holding
Speaker 2: onto his Senate seat and also running for governor, so
Speaker 2: kind of straddling two lanes there for Wiser to come
Speaker 2: out on offense and attack him for that. Could he
Speaker 2: have gotten some traction in the race?
Speaker 1: Oh? Sure, but he's not in the race. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's been my point right from the moment Michael Bennett
Speaker 1: got in. Is this thing's wired. But that's just my belief.
Speaker 1: That's just my personal belief. But Ryan has always used
Speaker 1: zero right in on exhibit A. Just wait a second,
Speaker 1: if you were still in this race, you would be
Speaker 1: pounding him relentlessly, you know. But no, he wants that
Speaker 1: Senate seat, right, that's a reasonable assumption. Phil Wiser wants
Speaker 1: a Senate seat, and he figures he's got some leverage
Speaker 1: because he's already in the race, and from the Democrat perspective,
Speaker 1: he's a credible candidate. He's certainly much more accomplished person
Speaker 1: than Michael Bennett is. So he's figuring he got this
Speaker 1: leverage if he gets out of the way, he wants
Speaker 1: the inside track to the Senate seat. That's my theory.
Speaker 1: But none of them want to get blogoyevitched, right, none
Speaker 1: of them because Blogoievitch spent his time in a cell
Speaker 1: right down the road on Hampton, just off Hampton and Kipling.
Speaker 1: And I don't think Wiser and Bennett want to share
Speaker 1: a cell because Blogoyevitch had a roommate in his cell.
Speaker 1: I don't think maybe somebody could do a meme on this,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of Bennett and Wiser sharing the cell
Speaker 1: with the kind of the Blagoyevitch hairstyles. Yeah, because you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to koifit as much in prison, I don't think.
Speaker 1: But don't you think that's the play. Wiser is essentially
Speaker 1: already out in my view, because he has not taken
Speaker 1: advantage of this opening to pound Bennetts. So that's not
Speaker 1: exactly somebody wants to win. And if he does want
Speaker 1: to win, what Wiser has proven over the last few
Speaker 1: days is he's not qualified to be governor because if
Speaker 1: you can't see this opening and take it and start
Speaker 1: throwing some punches, you're not tough enough to lead this day.
Speaker 2: So true, and the point you make about leverage, if
Speaker 2: it's about that and only that, Dan, then yeah, Phil
Speaker 2: Wiser has it right now because no Goose has already
Speaker 2: stepped aside and agreed not to run and endorse Bennett,
Speaker 2: so he doesn't really have leverage in.
Speaker 3: The situation Wiser does.
Speaker 2: Wiser's like, well, I'm in it, and if you want
Speaker 2: me to not be in it, there's something you could.
Speaker 1: Do, right, But then you run into this little problem
Speaker 1: of Blagoyevitch. Right, So it can't be that direct, right,
Speaker 1: you can't be selling the Senate s be that directed.
Speaker 1: And you couldn't trust Michael Bennett on this. Jo Wiser
Speaker 1: could not trust Bennett on this because from.
Speaker 2: The ethical standpoint, Dan and Clark made this point appointedly
Speaker 2: with Bennett in an interview setting, and Bennett, I don't
Speaker 2: think he's handled this very well at all. That goes
Speaker 2: without saying he kind of pushed back on the Denver
Speaker 2: Post reporting on Colorado's Morning News. But the only respectable
Speaker 2: play here is if you're running for governor, then you're
Speaker 2: running for governor. Then you set aside the Senate seat
Speaker 2: and Jared Paulus, your buddy, your pal, your political colleague,
Speaker 2: and Ally will appoint your replacement.
Speaker 3: Why is that not good.
Speaker 1: Enough for us? The reason it's not good enough is
Speaker 1: He's not good enough. Right, Michael Bennett needs this hammer.
Speaker 1: He needs this hammer to get the Democrat nomination. How
Speaker 1: do you think he got those people standing behind him
Speaker 1: at City Park? Everybody's hoping for the Senate seat. How's
Speaker 1: he going to get wiser out of the race the
Speaker 1: threat of Bennett's wit and wisdom and charm. No, it's
Speaker 1: got to be hey, look what I've got. I got
Speaker 1: something that's priceless. You could have a billion dollars and
Speaker 1: you can't buy this. Look what I got. And it's
Speaker 1: not just Hey, Phil, look what I got here? Follow
Speaker 1: me around to chase it's it's Phil, you don't have
Speaker 1: a prayer, because I got this and I'm gonna use
Speaker 1: it to get all those people to line up behind
Speaker 1: me at City Park and other places. So that's why
Speaker 1: he's doing it as wrong as it is. And think
Speaker 1: about this, think about what it proves about Michael Bennett.
Speaker 1: What a totally dishonest hypocrite is all this talk about
Speaker 1: DEI and Holier than though and equity, equity, equity, Look
Speaker 1: at you could have. You could have a woman appointed
Speaker 1: to the United States Senate tomorrow to morrow, you could
Speaker 1: have a person of color appointed to the United States
Speaker 1: Senate tomorrow. And who's standing in their way. Michael friggin'
Speaker 1: Bennett is standing in their way. He's a total phony,
Speaker 1: a total hypocrite. And all these Democrats who don't call
Speaker 1: him out right now for that. You know, you got
Speaker 1: all these old white men take it. They're either old
Speaker 1: chronologically or they act old. But you got all these
Speaker 1: old white men taking up all the big seats for
Speaker 1: the party that pretends to care about people of color,
Speaker 1: pretends to care about women, pretends to care about gender equity.
Speaker 1: And Michael Bennett is single handedly preventing a woman or
Speaker 1: a person of color from being in the United States
Speaker 1: Senate next week. That's who he is. And every one
Speaker 1: of those Democrats who don't call him out for it,
Speaker 1: that's who they are. Hopefully the people of Colorado will
Speaker 1: see it. So Wiser's already out right, all we're missing
Speaker 1: is the announcement. So can we get a big screen
Speaker 1: TV and give it to somebody if they get like
Speaker 1: to the minute, because the day is going to be
Speaker 1: too too easy, right, It's going to be someday, very soon.
Speaker 1: And what do you think I'll say? What do you
Speaker 1: think I'll say when he gets out? Oh? Do you
Speaker 1: see this statement from the White House? This is beautiful
Speaker 1: kind of what we predicted yesterday. Abrago Garcia is never
Speaker 1: coming back to the US. So I think this goes
Speaker 1: to what we were saying at the end of the
Speaker 1: show yesterday, right, which is, hey, he may not stay
Speaker 1: in our Salvador, but they're just going to take him
Speaker 1: directly to the worst other place they can think of. Yeah, yeah, so,
Speaker 1: but I hope they don't do that anytime soon, because
Speaker 1: in the meantime, what a gift from the Democrats, right,
Speaker 1: who've made this MS thirteen guy their their new hero.
Speaker 1: I mean, what a beautiful thing. So we got a
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. Neither of those topics we started
Speaker 1: with were actually on our agenda today, but that's the
Speaker 1: beauty of the show, right, you roll with what's happening
Speaker 1: in the newsree someone three eight two five five the
Speaker 1: number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: One thing I want to weave through our Good Friday
Speaker 1: show today is those proof of God moments. They've occurred
Speaker 1: in our country, they've occurred in your life. There are
Speaker 1: so many cool stories and they can't be scientifically explained
Speaker 1: or otherwise explained other than God. So let's weave those
Speaker 1: through the show. Call or write any time on those
Speaker 1: three or three someone three eight two five five texts
Speaker 1: d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show. Podcast was
Speaker 3: mocking the space.
Speaker 2: Mission so called of Gail King and Katy Perry, and
Speaker 2: there was.
Speaker 1: What's her name the Lolorina Sanchez Bezos a squeeze well fiance. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, do you read how much they plan to
Speaker 1: spend on that way? How much? How much is too
Speaker 1: much to spend spend on a wedding? I'd like to
Speaker 1: hear from people on that. Three three someone three eight
Speaker 1: two five five takes d A N five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine.
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna spend maybe two grand total, not
Speaker 2: even probably less.
Speaker 1: That is really impressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're really going on a budget here.
Speaker 1: That is no. I I think that is so cool,
Speaker 1: so cool. I think we did too, because I think
Speaker 1: we cut the guest list of four ninety nine from
Speaker 1: five hundred.
Speaker 2: Did you seriously save a lot of money by getting
Speaker 2: under that particular number?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I was joking all I thought, and I
Speaker 1: think it actually was five hundred. It was a cut line,
Speaker 1: but I think it was five hundred. But it was a.
Speaker 3: Good party by scale, it was a good party. Just
Speaker 3: my take current.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're going to do a wedding and
Speaker 2: do it right and do it big, I mean you're
Speaker 2: spending what ten twenty grand?
Speaker 3: Probably twenty grand.
Speaker 1: It's at least it's expensive. I'm looking up the Bezos wedding.
Speaker 1: I've seen so many different estimates, but I do think
Speaker 1: there's a and listen, I'm knowing to judge this sort
Speaker 1: of thing, but I think there are just a certain
Speaker 1: point where it's too much. Let's see this estimate is No,
Speaker 1: that can't be right. Yeah, yeah, you can't spend one
Speaker 1: hundred million on a wedding. And I'm not saying that million.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that's just one story, and I
Speaker 1: don't think it's I don't think it's even remotely reliable.
Speaker 1: But we've read about some weddings where they spend that
Speaker 1: or more right, let's go to Kathleen in Boulder. You're
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 4: Welcome, Thank you Dan, and an observation of working in
Speaker 4: hospice for twenty years. I have witnessed many, many transitions
Speaker 4: at the very end of life, as the patient became
Speaker 4: a little more conscious and the arm went up towards heaven,
Speaker 4: and I didn't say a word. I was in the room,
Speaker 4: either finishing up the care or some other reason, so
Speaker 4: I just quietly squatted down and looked to see could
Speaker 4: I see anything? But I did not, But I watched
Speaker 4: them and their face was magnificent, the patient's face. The
Speaker 4: arm was up in the air like there was a
Speaker 4: hand coming into That's how I and I saw it
Speaker 4: with many patients as well as one family member, and
Speaker 4: I said not a word, never asking anybody what happened.
Speaker 4: It's magic.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Kathleen, and thank you for the great
Speaker 1: work that you've done. Wow, appreciate that. Hopefully get a
Speaker 1: lot of calls like that. Today we're talking about proof
Speaker 1: of God moments.
Speaker 2: That is truly the work of angels what Kathleen does,
Speaker 2: because when my mom was in hospice, I just have
Speaker 2: to imagine, you know, the mental toughness that takes of
Speaker 2: every day you're having terminal patients come in there, and
Speaker 2: they show them so much grace and kindness and care. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and we truly appreciated the care that my mom got there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, no that I don't think you have
Speaker 1: anybody working in hospice who's doing it for the money, right, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: But I really look forward every year. We do it
Speaker 1: sometimes on Good Friday, sometimes on other days, but just
Speaker 1: those proof of God's stories and then you get to
Speaker 1: some of the big ones, right like the United States
Speaker 1: of America. But three or three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five text d An five seven seven three night Dan.
Speaker 1: Our wedding was under seven thousand, included round trip airfare
Speaker 1: from Denver to Seattle. Took along my daughter and her
Speaker 1: husband so they could witness. That's pretty cool, Dan. Last
Speaker 1: Good Friday twenty twenty four, Dan ended up stuck in
Speaker 1: traffic and Ryan held down the show. Brian from Arvada
Speaker 1: called and started saying not nice things about the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1: Ryan texted Dan and Dad handed an appropriate response. How
Speaker 1: does she remember? I know that's impressive. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2: I remember it now that she mentions it. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't have before.
Speaker 1: That, you know the Yeah, yeah, do.
Speaker 3: You remember getting stuck in traffic that day?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to remember it. I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 1: There have been a few days that I've been I
Speaker 1: must have been coming back from something. Yeah, yeah, Oh well,
Speaker 1: thanks for remembering, Alexa. Yeah, yeah, okay, three or three
Speaker 1: someone three eight two five five text d A N
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine. You were you were not
Speaker 1: kind to Katie Perry. Here are her thoughts.
Speaker 5: I hope they can see the unity that we modeled
Speaker 5: and replicate that and understand that we weren't just taking
Speaker 5: up space. We were making space for the future. And for me,
Speaker 5: like Yale said, this wasn't a ride. Who wasn't it destination?
Speaker 5: It was a journey and it was a supernatural one.
Speaker 1: And how many days were they up there?
Speaker 2: How do you think those astronauts that were trapped up
Speaker 2: in space field after hearing that.
Speaker 1: Blue Origin is what is that like a ten minute deal?
Speaker 3: They didn't even really go into space.
Speaker 1: Technically, Yeah, yeah, but it wasn't that long, was it. No,
Speaker 1: sounds like it was very moving.
Speaker 5: For my journey has all always been about love and belonging,
Speaker 5: and I think that we have all felt that sometimes
Speaker 5: we weren't worthy or we didn't belong and in certain ways,
Speaker 5: no matter all the accolades, no matter all the studying,
Speaker 5: no matter anything. And I think today we all said
Speaker 5: it like.
Speaker 1: We belong here.
Speaker 5: This is where we belong, and we feel very sure
Speaker 5: that that's.
Speaker 3: Why I picked the song right there.
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, it must have been a very moving experience. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the most like moving? Well, that's not a good
Speaker 1: way to frame the question. I'll come up with a
Speaker 1: better way to frame the question. But assuming that she's
Speaker 1: being genuine there, you know, what do you think it'd
Speaker 1: be about? Like a five minute ride up there? That
Speaker 1: would be so transformative? And she kissed the ground when
Speaker 1: she got back, right she did? Yeah, so what what
Speaker 1: would that be? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I've heard some people describe when they see the Grand
Speaker 2: Canyon for the first time, you know, something wondrous like that,
Speaker 2: that you know it's a moving experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh listen, I think that stuff can happen. Man,
Speaker 1: I think that's the way we're designed, the way we're created, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, the beauty of God is seen in the
Speaker 1: beauty of creation, and I can tell you for me,
Speaker 1: And there's been plenty of stuff around here. I can
Speaker 1: still remember the first time I ever saw the Rockies
Speaker 1: coming over that sceneic go overlook. I mean, really so
Speaker 1: into Boulder, because I'd never traveled a Boulder before the
Speaker 1: day I arrived there to start school. You know, there
Speaker 1: wasn't money back in those days for that kind of travel,
Speaker 1: and so I remember that vividly. But Africa, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: Africa was a and I don't mean to get all bolder,
Speaker 1: but Africa was a truly spiritual experience. And I know
Speaker 1: that the animals will do that to you, right because
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you look at an elephant close up,
Speaker 1: and you look at atheists and say, can you even
Speaker 1: think about being an atheist? But to me it was.
Speaker 1: And we're down in the Serengetti you look at just
Speaker 1: as far as I can see these beautiful, wide open spaces,
Speaker 1: and there's just no doubt in that moment. I Mean,
Speaker 1: I came in with my own belief, but there's just
Speaker 1: no doubt in that moment, right about the creator. So
Speaker 1: I understand, I mean, I'm not mocking them. I get
Speaker 1: how certain experiences, even lasting for a few minutes can
Speaker 1: be transformative. You're on the Dan Kapitlo.
Speaker 3: Show, You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: He's a fake.
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I'm all.
Speaker 6: They're all fake and they have no interest in that prisoner.
Speaker 6: That prisoner's record is unbelievably bad.
Speaker 1: A talk about how evil.
Speaker 6: I am that this man would be thrown.
Speaker 1: Out of our card.
Speaker 6: This man is a, according to certified statements that we get,
Speaker 6: is a very violent person. And they want this man
Speaker 6: to be brought back into our country where he can
Speaker 6: be free.
Speaker 1: And to say, is a.
Speaker 7: Happily Maryland you know, happily.
Speaker 3: They call him the Maryland man.
Speaker 1: He's a Maryland father.
Speaker 6: Now here's a violent person.
Speaker 1: MSNBC wasn't liking the details so much. On a Breago Garcia.
Speaker 6: In twenty nineteen, Garcia was issued a deportation order two
Speaker 6: separate judges of firm. Garcia was a member of MS thirteen,
Speaker 6: which is a game that maybe even work.
Speaker 1: We've been watching President Donald Trump there swearing in the
Speaker 1: new administrator. They can't hand all the truth. Anyway, I
Speaker 1: hope you're having a very meaningful, good Friday. And it
Speaker 1: goes to the topic we're talking about yesterday, Ryan, which
Speaker 1: is just is the explosion the surge in Christianity Colorado
Speaker 1: and across the country. And it may be the same
Speaker 1: for Jewish brothers and sisters as well. I just obviously
Speaker 1: am not in synagogue, et cetera, so it may very
Speaker 1: well be the same. But I'll tell you it is
Speaker 1: so fantastic to see. I mean, you know, just this
Speaker 1: morning and most Christians I think we'll go to services
Speaker 1: at normally either nine in the morning, noon or three
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. And nine in the morning, it was
Speaker 1: just absolutely packed, and I have no doubt it was
Speaker 1: just all over the state, as most services are these days.
Speaker 1: It's just, yeah, there's something very good happen. And what
Speaker 1: do you think triggered all of that? Let's go to
Speaker 1: a beautiful El Paso County. Lauren, you're on the Dan
Speaker 1: Capitol Show. Hey, we're doing the show from Denver Metro today,
Speaker 1: Actually from Denver. Is it still snowing down there?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 8: It's actually doing pretty good.
Speaker 1: Okay, well it should be sunny by mid afternoon tomorrow.
Speaker 8: I'll be nice. I'm great for Easter, I hope.
Speaker 1: Oh perfect.
Speaker 9: Well, I'll be at my church celebrating.
Speaker 1: Perfect what Mass? And then how early do you go
Speaker 1: to get it?
Speaker 8: I'm a non denominational Christmas Okay, Christians' math Okay.
Speaker 7: Let's see.
Speaker 9: I'll be there at eight am for a men's meeting
Speaker 9: and then Sunday school and then the regular church service,
Speaker 9: and we'll have special music and stuff like that, so
Speaker 9: until about eight leave a little afternoon.
Speaker 1: Wow, I'll tell you. In the Catholic church, you better
Speaker 1: get there early. So I'm the guy at my job
Speaker 1: to go out there like an hour before on Christmas
Speaker 1: or Easter and steak out a seat. And which brings
Speaker 1: a tremendous question, is it ever okay to look at
Speaker 1: your cell phone in church? Like if you get there
Speaker 1: an hour before the service? Is it okay to look
Speaker 1: at your phone at least until like a half hour before?
Speaker 1: But anyway, Lauren, I know that's not what you're called.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 8: So you were talking about weddings and how much is
Speaker 8: too much? And I probably have like one of the
Speaker 8: more interesting wedding stories I give you the short story
Speaker 8: a little bit of details. So my wife and I
Speaker 8: met in a war zone, another storm, we eloped and
Speaker 8: we crashed someone else's wedding party, is the short story.
Speaker 9: That's awesome, that's efficient, and it cost us less than
Speaker 9: fifty bucks for our wedding.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 8: We were in I was stationed in Germany. She was
Speaker 8: in the United States in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. And when
Speaker 8: they let me out of the Middle East to go back,
Speaker 8: they gave me three days leave. Thirty days leave, went back,
Speaker 8: visited her. We decided to get married. Just before we left,
Speaker 8: we got the rings. We went to a paddle boat
Speaker 8: captain who was a registered minister, and he's like, tell
Speaker 8: you what, Friday night, I've got a wedding party here,
Speaker 8: but they're not taking up the entire boat for the
Speaker 8: cost of the dinner cruise. You and your two witnesses
Speaker 8: can sit in the back. I'll give you dinner. You
Speaker 8: can come up afterwards and we'll do your wedding. So
Speaker 8: we've got pictures of this paddle boat deck to the hill.
Speaker 8: N was somebody else's nice wedding and it cost us, like, listen,
Speaker 8: fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: Dad is really smart. Well, hey man, thanks for your
Speaker 1: service and thanks to the great story. That is cool.
Speaker 1: Have you ever crashed a wedding like done the real
Speaker 1: wedding crashers thing?
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't crash the wedding, but it was my
Speaker 2: buddy Cody Tucker, who actually runs his own website covering
Speaker 2: Wyoming sports just north here in Cheyenne. And it was
Speaker 2: my producer at the time in Lansing, Jason Nick. And
Speaker 2: he was an interesting, colorful character, and his presence wasn't
Speaker 2: exactly wanted at the wedding by the bride to be,
Speaker 2: and yet he showed up anyway, and yes he made
Speaker 2: a scene, and no it did not go over well, Okay.
Speaker 1: I wonder if anybody does the real like wedding crashing
Speaker 1: thing like you saw in the movie.
Speaker 3: I kinda believe it's a thing. I mean it looks fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great, great movie, great promise, all that good stuff.
Speaker 3: I just yeah, I've got to make up a backsta.
Speaker 1: I have not done it myself, Texter says Dan Rushlinbaugh.
Speaker 1: Just paid Elton John Well, couldn't have been just, but
Speaker 1: paid Elton John a cool million dollars to sing at
Speaker 1: his wedding. I'm surprised Ryan didn't speak on that one
Speaker 1: while taking shots at Ryan on this show. Well there
Speaker 1: for two hours ago, I.
Speaker 2: Just thought, I'm such a rush devote, and yes I
Speaker 2: was aware of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm so happy to see this text because as
Speaker 1: I was preparing for the show, because Good Friday, you know,
Speaker 1: we talk about proof of God. We do it in
Speaker 1: some other shows as well, because there are so many
Speaker 1: cool stories out there right where there's no scientific explanation
Speaker 1: for what happened, and it's proof one of those proof
Speaker 1: of God moments. But I was thinking about this in
Speaker 1: connection with some of the ones I was going to
Speaker 1: give today. Dan the bullet missing Trump's head was proof
Speaker 1: of God that from Kevin actually hit him. It was
Speaker 1: interesting in the physical the president just did, which obviously
Speaker 1: passed of flying colors, right, and even the left couldn't
Speaker 1: quibble on that, because all you have to do is
Speaker 1: watch the guy. Remember when Biden used to say, just
Speaker 1: watch me. Yeah, Trump is like, you know, who can
Speaker 1: keep up with Trump? It not all physically, just physically
Speaker 1: with Trump, it's mentally, but you know, just dealing with
Speaker 1: four reporters at once, et cetera. When Biden would have
Speaker 1: or any of these lefties would have went fleeing and terror,
Speaker 1: but it did hit him that turned up in his
Speaker 1: physical discoar in his ear. But I do personally consider
Speaker 1: that a proof of God moment. I believe there was
Speaker 1: divine intervention. And you know, some people say, sometimes, well, okay,
Speaker 1: if it was divine intervention, why you know, why did
Speaker 1: God intervene there? Why didn't he intervene to save Corey,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Which are all great questions, right, I don't
Speaker 1: claim to have all the answers to all this. We
Speaker 1: are not we are not meant to be, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: to be capable of understanding everything. Think about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: we think we're so smart. It wasn't that long ago
Speaker 1: we didn't know how to build a car. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was not that long ago we did not know
Speaker 1: how to build a car. It wasn't that long ago
Speaker 1: we humans didn't know how to build an airplane. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but I personally believe my own personal belief is a
Speaker 1: that God did intervene there to say President Trump, and
Speaker 1: B As to why, I think the starting point is
Speaker 1: you have to go back to the founders, right, you
Speaker 1: want to talk about proof of God. I agree with
Speaker 1: the founders founders believed that the only way that they
Speaker 1: were going to succeed when the Revolutionary War, when independence
Speaker 1: was with divine providence. And I think they're right because
Speaker 1: when you looked at the landscape, they were at least
Speaker 1: one hundred to one underdogs in what's now called Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: And so that's why they ended the declaration of independence
Speaker 1: that way, right, with reliance on divine providence. We pledged
Speaker 1: you our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honors. So I
Speaker 1: do believe just the creation of this nation major moment
Speaker 1: of divine providence. If it wasn't for the United States
Speaker 1: of America, the entire world would have been taken over
Speaker 1: by darkness at least in the mid forties. And so
Speaker 1: I believe that and just personal belief. I can't prove
Speaker 1: it that God did intervene in that Butler Fielding part
Speaker 1: to save America because think about what would have happened
Speaker 1: if that evil assassin and whoever was involved with them.
Speaker 1: I don't believe for a second year alone, but think
Speaker 1: about what would have happened if he would have succeeded,
Speaker 1: which obviously he was going to. I mean, the only
Speaker 1: reason he didn't is this miraculous, perfectly timed head turn
Speaker 1: this nation. What do you think that would have looked like?
Speaker 1: And I'd love to take some calls and text on
Speaker 1: this three or three someone three eight two five five
Speaker 1: text d an five seven seven three nine. This nation
Speaker 1: would have been immediately plunged into a non physical civil war.
Speaker 1: And by that I mean it would not have been
Speaker 1: a physically violent civil war, but it would have ripped
Speaker 1: this nation apart immediately in an extraordinarily dangerous and damaging way.
Speaker 1: And this nation is the single greatest hope on the
Speaker 1: face of the earth for religious freedom and for freedom
Speaker 1: to prevail against evil. Think of all the evil forces
Speaker 1: in the world right now, and all the evil forces
Speaker 1: that existed in the world the day that assassin lined
Speaker 1: up on Trump's head in Butler and and if Trump
Speaker 1: had not miraculously turned his head is think about Think
Speaker 1: about where the world would be right now with evil
Speaker 1: remaining on the march this nation in this non physical
Speaker 1: internal civil war. Yeah, so I do believe God interviewed
Speaker 1: in that field. Hey, welcome back to our great callers, Texters.
Speaker 1: Hope you're having a meaningful good Friday. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Force than Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 6: Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why because
Speaker 6: he wasn't the worst president.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was so only Trump, right, I had nobody
Speaker 1: else on the face of the earth is is going
Speaker 1: to say that three h three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five The number takes d an five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. I mean this everybody can agree on, right,
Speaker 1: that there has never been a funnier president. Lincoln was
Speaker 1: certainly witty and all of the great sense of humor,
Speaker 1: all these tremendous sayings everything else, but nobody's been funnier
Speaker 1: and Reagan and joke see, and he could deliver him
Speaker 1: really well, it could be pretty funny. He could have tied.
Speaker 1: But Trump just relentlessly funny, relentlessly funny.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you just joined us, thank you. It's
Speaker 1: good Friday. And so we're talking about proof of God moments,
Speaker 1: which is always really cool, right because there's so many
Speaker 1: of these that cannot be scientifically explained and just kind
Speaker 1: of add to the obvious that yes, God exists. But
Speaker 1: to hear it from callers and talk about some of
Speaker 1: these is is really a cool reminder. We got off
Speaker 1: on the topic of weddings because I think we were
Speaker 1: what we were talking about Bezos the Origin and how
Speaker 1: much his wedding was going to cost. Some reports say
Speaker 1: two or three hundred million. How much is too much
Speaker 1: to spend on a wedding? Eric in Denver, You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Kapitlis show, Welcome in, and I wonder what
Speaker 1: the typical wedding is costing these days, because it's got
Speaker 1: to be ginormous. Even a small wedding has to be ginormous. Haeric,
Speaker 1: are you doing? Hi? Dan?
Speaker 7: Great American?
Speaker 1: No greater than you, not as great as you did?
Speaker 7: My jocks?
Speaker 1: When did I do that?
Speaker 7: I had you even pull over to text you.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm glad you pulled over.
Speaker 7: Tim Baugh, Yeah, Rush Wimba spent just alone, spent a
Speaker 7: cool million. That's how I phraised it in the text message. Well,
Speaker 7: because I was telling Kelly, I mean a million dollars
Speaker 7: was like twenty bucks to rush them.
Speaker 1: Bah and how many songs did Elton Shem play for that?
Speaker 1: Because they think's going right now?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: If you want like a Beyonce or somebody to come in,
Speaker 1: if you're a shake and come in and do force
Speaker 1: right is isn't it like five or ten million? Now
Speaker 1: I'll looked it up.
Speaker 7: I don't know, but it surprised me, to be honest
Speaker 7: with you, Ken Liberal, seeing at Russia's wedding. But that's
Speaker 7: what Castro wants.
Speaker 1: You for making that point, because this is something we
Speaker 1: get into on the show all the time, Eric, because
Speaker 1: people have dogged me because since Caroline was a little girl,
Speaker 1: you know, our father, one of our father daughter things
Speaker 1: has been to go to Taylor Swift concerts, like we
Speaker 1: drove to al Maha and see the ones in Denver
Speaker 1: and Chicago. But uh, but they dogged me because, oh,
Speaker 1: she's a lefty. But look at Rush at Elton John right.
Speaker 1: Because I'm a firm believer you should not let any
Speaker 1: of that get in the way of enjoying somebody's artistry.
Speaker 7: I was. I was there at that wedding, I tell
Speaker 7: you me, and I would have tried a Rush's yeah
Speaker 7: and Russia.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I'd have brought Ryan with me and my wife because
Speaker 7: you know he's a I didn't even text Ryan on
Speaker 7: his texting machine calling him all Rush Limbaugh of Colorado,
Speaker 7: and he didn't know that Rush Limbaugh spent a million,
Speaker 7: a cool million, you know, at his wedding. That's what
Speaker 7: I was Ryan.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he did not know that. But Eric appreciate
Speaker 1: the call, my friend. How long you been married?
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm the divorce to mine first wife. I got
Speaker 7: a second winning Okay about three years.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're just getting going, just getting warmed up. But
Speaker 1: enjoy that, my friend.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Three or three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five d and five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: I always appreciate Eric picking up the pieces because I
Speaker 2: can't catch every.
Speaker 1: Guy, no, Eric, And Eric is very very good about it.
Speaker 3: He did a good job there. Yeah, very very.
Speaker 1: Good about that. I do have to say, if you
Speaker 1: don't mind a little humble brag. One of the coolest
Speaker 1: moments of my life was when my phone started exploding
Speaker 1: like off the chain. When Rush Limbaugh mentioned me on
Speaker 1: his show Praise some commentary i'd done.
Speaker 3: I wish I could find that audio.
Speaker 1: You gotta find that audio, and then I promised to
Speaker 1: stop talking about it. If you find the audio, I
Speaker 1: won't talk about it anymore because we'll just play it.
Speaker 2: Well, I remember it's in Michael Brown's intro for his
Speaker 2: morning show here locally in Denver on six point thirty km.
Speaker 1: Brownie wus Rush himself said, Brownie, oh, okay, like that, Well,
Speaker 1: we got to find it.
Speaker 3: That was the context that he mentioned.
Speaker 1: It was in connection with the with the Rodney King case, okay.
Speaker 1: And I was out in LA I was doing commentary
Speaker 1: for I think he saw it in the Washington Post
Speaker 1: maybe USA today and and he just said, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing. If there's one legal expert in the country
Speaker 1: to follow on this case, it's this Dan Caplis guy
Speaker 1: on Denver.
Speaker 3: Okay. One, that's awesome.
Speaker 7: Two.
Speaker 2: Is there any way you'd be able to narrow it
Speaker 2: down on a date, because what I'm willing to do
Speaker 2: for you I can okay, because I'd be willing to
Speaker 2: go into his archives or contact his producer, mister Snerdley,
Speaker 2: who follows me on X Oh that's so cool, and
Speaker 2: try to reach out to him say is there any
Speaker 2: way thank you narrow this down and find it, or maybe.
Speaker 1: Can we get into the Choa archives? Would they go
Speaker 1: back that far? Because I could probably narrow it down
Speaker 1: to a week or two. I think we'd have more
Speaker 1: lot going through snardly. Okay, okay, good job, well, thank you. No,
Speaker 1: that would be an amazing thing. Dan says a Texter.
Speaker 1: I have to disagree with you. I'm not condoning it,
Speaker 1: but I do feel the US would have been in
Speaker 1: a physical civil war at Trump and assassinated. And we've
Speaker 1: been talking about proof of God moments. I personally do
Speaker 1: believe that God intervened in that field in Butler, and
Speaker 1: then we were talking about what America in the world
Speaker 1: would look like today if that evil assassin and his
Speaker 1: cohorts had succeeded. So when we come back, what are
Speaker 1: your proof of God moments? On this good Friday yere
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kapla Show.
