WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520 This is Dan Capless and welcome to today's online podcast 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.759 edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to 3 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.240 give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind, 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.599 and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.240 single day on your favorite podcast platform, even in the 6 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.160 worst of times. This time, right now, it's about five o'clock, 7 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.920 and that Wednesday before Thanksgiving is just one of the 8 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:23.519 greatest times of the year for a lot of people, 9 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.079 because Thanksgiving right so many people's favorite or second favorite holiday, 10 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.120 because you're getting the family together, and it's just there's 11 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.679 just nothing better than that. The world seems to slow 12 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.679 down for a few hours and that is so sweet. 13 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.759 And then for a lot of folks, hopefully it's a 14 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.399 four day weekend, and that's pretty precious. It's not even 15 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.320 like a mini vacation. It's like a vacation. So so 16 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.600 many people come Sunday night at about seven thirty are thinking, man, 17 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.640 I wish it was I wish it was Wednesday at 18 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.240 five o'clock again. So it is right now, Let's enjoy 19 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.359 every minute of it. Glad you're here. We're looking ahead 20 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.320 to tomorrow and we do know that many of us 21 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.799 we're going to have some lefties at the table, not leftovers, lefties, 22 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.920 and so okay, how do you approach that tomorrow? And 23 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.799 we certainly have many texters and a caller who said, 24 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.959 not listen, just don't even talk politics. And I respect that, 25 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.359 I get it. I just live in the real world. 26 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.719 I think that's unrealistic. This election was so big and 27 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.799 it's still so close, and it was such a big 28 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:28.200 win it and it'd be a lot of alcoholic beverages. 29 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.079 You know, stuff is going to happen. All I'm saying 30 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.680 is pay live in the real world, plan ahead, and 31 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.920 just plan to use humor. So we've just been talking 32 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.319 about he have some good Kamala Harris jokes, because at 33 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.519 this point everybody sees that that was that was a 34 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.480 total joke. That would have been awful for America no 35 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:49.959 matter where people come down on the issues. You know, 36 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.319 some good Kamala Harris jokes, some other ways to work 37 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.680 humor in. And so we've got some good text and 38 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.079 calls such as this one. Ryan says, Dan, you're really 39 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.079 off on this one. Those liberals don't have much of 40 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.879 a sense of humor, especially when it comes to anything 41 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.000 regarding Trump et cetera. Definitely would fall flat guaranteed. Well, 42 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:10.439 we're gonna find out well. 43 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.919 And as I said, I hate to say it, but 44 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.360 I have liberal family members. Those that they are further 45 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.719 to the left, in my experience, have far less of 46 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.599 a sense of humor about themselves. They can't laugh at themselves, 47 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.719 and that's a problem that's tied into it. Their political 48 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.400 identity is much more to them than a religion. That's 49 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.439 just what I've found. It's not the same way for us. 50 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.280 We love Trump, we wanted them to win, but it's 51 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.639 not a religion thing. My whole deal. Like I said, 52 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.360 and I agree somewhat with these Texters. If you make 53 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.240 fun of Kamala, but you do it in a Trump voice, 54 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:44.199 everybody's gonna let you. 55 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.159 But you could tell with Kamala she had too much 56 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.280 to drink in the debate. It was there. 57 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.439 You could see it, and you know and the ahaha, 58 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:51.840 you know. 59 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.520 Yeah, and we you know we But only you can 60 00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.199 do those impersonations. So you need to go on cameo friend, 61 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.919 Lauren Bolbert went on for like an hour, which is 62 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.599 too bad. Lots of people would have hired her. If 63 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.240 you're not familiar with cameo, it's this site that you know, 64 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.240 different people go on and then they get paid for 65 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.919 sending recorded messages to people things like that. So yeah, 66 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.240 you should go on Cameo to do that. That's fun 67 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.560 with that. Yeah, and of course all of this tomorrow, 68 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.800 it all starts with right, It all starts with the 69 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.719 golden rule. You know, you just want to treat other 70 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.319 people the way you'd want to be treated. And so 71 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.759 that that's where I think the humor really comes in. 72 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.400 Let's see happy Thanksgiving wishes to you and Ryan and 73 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.919 your family, Stephen Littletonnay, thank you, Steve that that is 74 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.000 a beautiful thing. And Dan, it's none of your beeswax. 75 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.319 That's what people said. That goes back to an earlier caller, 76 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.199 What an interesting point, and he said, wait a second, 77 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.039 don't talk politics. He said, there was a day not 78 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.639 long ago when if you said to somebody who you'd 79 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.000 vote for, they'd say none of your business. And then 80 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.000 I thought back, and he's right, because as a little kid, 81 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.639 I can remember some people my parents' age, but more 82 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.840 likely grandparents, where they say who'd you vote for? And 83 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.960 they say it's none of your business. And lots of 84 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.719 people didn't discuss who they voted for, and I've forgotten 85 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.080 that Ara even existed. My argument to you would be, 86 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.159 this is a better era because the stakes are so high, 87 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.439 these issues are so life and death. We need to 88 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.560 be out there trying to persuade people. But that was 89 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:27.319 definitely easier Dan. Oh, and then none of your beeswax. Yeah, 90 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.439 I don't know anybody currently under one hundred who uses 91 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.439 that phrase. But yeah, it used to be. You know, 92 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.680 you would hear older people saying none of your bees wax. 93 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.120 But truly, I don't think anybody under one hundred now. Dan. 94 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.000 On Harris's recent video, I think she's lamenting that she 95 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.920 surrendered her power to the party and became their puppet. 96 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.120 I think she's regretting her choices for the past thirty years, 97 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.920 referring to this video she released yesterday. If you haven't 98 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.959 seen the video, now, she's an attractive person. This was 99 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.360 not her best look in this video. Either looked umb. Well, 100 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.120 people have different explanations. 101 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.240 I just have to remind you, don't you ever let 102 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.160 anybody take your power from you. You have the same 103 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.959 power that you did before November fifth, and you have 104 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.879 the same purpose that you did, and you have the 105 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:28.800 same ability to engage and inspire. So don't ever let 106 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.680 anybody or any circumstance take your power from you. 107 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.199 Well, first, you've got kind of the overall tone and 108 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.120 all that, but let's get to the substance of it 109 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:42.079 for a second. Once again, it's in some many cases 110 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.879 untrue because a lot of these people don't have the 111 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:50.480 same power they did before November fifth. Their candidate lost 112 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.120 elections have consequences. And what is highly likely to happen 113 00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.600 now is because conservative stuff works and lefty stuff doesn't. 114 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:07.399 Is that there's a tremendous likelihood that Trump's going to 115 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.519 be very successful in this term and he's going to 116 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.639 hand it off to j D or somebody else, and 117 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.720 conservatives are going to win again in twenty eight and 118 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.959 you're going to have a very long lasting change in America. 119 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.560 And so and the same purpose, she says, you have 120 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.040 the same purpose he did before November fifth. No, don't 121 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.160 buy that, because people change. Everybody in this audience, and 122 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.199 Ryan can probably give you an example of his life. 123 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.959 At some point in all of our lives, we have 124 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.959 been wrong about something important and then you know that 125 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:42.839 the truth hit us between the eyes and we had 126 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.720 to realize we were wrong and admit it and then 127 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.759 move forward in the right direction. You have a lot 128 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.439 of people who voted for, particularly young people, though Trump 129 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.199 did so well with young and one of the reasons 130 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.519 Trump did so well with young is on the life issues. 131 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.920 So you've got a lot of these younger people who 132 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.000 voted for They were very pro abortion. Oh, you don't 133 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.639 have the same purpose. You can be better, you can change, 134 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.639 you can realize the error of your ways and in 135 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:12.600 the future support somebody who's gonna defend innocent life. So yeah, no, 136 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.160 she's just wrong on the substance there too. Not to 137 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.879 get all serious, I'm trying to avoid that today, though 138 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.759 I do have to get into this story, Ryan, I 139 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.319 think it's so important. 140 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.959 Multiple Trump picks have been targeted by violent bomb threats 141 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.639 and swatting that according to the Trump transition team, no 142 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.399 injuries have been reported. Brian Yennis is lying from West 143 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:34.720 Palm Beach, Florida. 144 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:35.680 With the latest on all of this. 145 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.160 We're beginning to get a little more information of names 146 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.240 being added to this list. What do we know, Brian, Yeah, 147 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.040 that's right, Molly Well. Sources tell Fox News that nearly 148 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.040 a dozen of President like Trump's new administration picks have 149 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.160 been threatened at least since Tuesday night. 150 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.360 Yes, So what does this mean for the future? Obviously 151 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.360 a very coordinated effort, Right, why do you think it happened? 152 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.199 What does it mean for the future? Four zero five 153 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.319 A two five five takes d A N five seven 154 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.920 seven three night. Now the obvious starting point, right, we 155 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.920 know none of these people are going to be intimidated, 156 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.040 none of these people are going to back off, none 157 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.360 of these people are going to be less vigorous in 158 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.800 pursuing change, and in part because they're going to follow 159 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.279 their leader, you know, the guy who got shot in 160 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.199 the head and jumped back up and said fight, fight, 161 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.639 fight and won the election in those twelve seconds. So, 162 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.240 but but what do you think is going on here? 163 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.639 And what lasting effect do you think it's going to have? 164 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.320 So we will do something maybe unattainable in talk radio, 165 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:38.320 never tried before, which is mixing those two topics Kamala 166 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.600 jokes and what do you think is going on with 167 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.039 these coordinated threats against the Trump folks? Have you ever 168 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:48.279 been swatted? No? Thank god? Yeah, but we were swatted once. 169 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.960 It was a fascinating experience, and were Amy and I 170 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.840 were at home and I think one of the kids 171 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.200 was with us. It was just a calm, whatever night, 172 00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.799 I can't remember week weekday night, I think. And then 173 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.159 all of a sudden, you know, knock on the door. 174 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.919 We go the front door. There are a bunch of police 175 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:11.080 out in front. Dan, yeah, Dany said everything okay, yes, sir, 176 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.240 everything's great, said, do you mind if we come in 177 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.000 search the house? Said all I have at it. I'm 178 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.440 sorry it doesn't cleaner, you know, because Amy is so 179 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.919 clean and eat and organized, and that's never been like 180 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.720 my strength. And so yeah, they just came in, went 181 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.559 to every corner of the house, said thank you, sir. 182 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.440 We just got a call that there was something real 183 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.840 bad happening here. And I think that's before swannin even 184 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.120 became a term or a thing. But I appreciated the 185 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.360 way law enforcement handled it. They were great about it. 186 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.399 But yeah, so what do you think all of this 187 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.240 coordinated effort on the Trump team, where do you think 188 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.519 it's coming from? And what do you think it's going 189 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.200 to lead to? And then also, and again sorry to 190 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.519 be serious, but we have to follow the news of 191 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.279 the day. I do need to talk about Ukraine just 192 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.879 for a second and make an observation that I think 193 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.120 goes right to the heart of everything. And I don't 194 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.200 hear being discussed out there because Russian official big headlines 195 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.799 right now just came out and said no one has 196 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.519 ever defeated the Russians. Just part of you know Russian 197 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.440 now as you know, it's on the offense, on the 198 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.200 offense of making a lot of gains in Ukraine, the 199 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.840 land that Putin is raping and pillaging. But want to 200 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.600 come back and make a quick observation about how we 201 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.120 got to this point and why it's so critical that 202 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.039 Trump get it resolved right now. Eighty five for Zer 203 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.879 five eight two five five text d An five seven 204 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.960 seven three nine. 205 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.200 And now back to the dan Kaplas Show podcast. 206 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.919 I can't even play sound over that. That's so good. 207 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.080 Who is that Dido from about twenty years ago? 208 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.240 Or so Dido that's her name. She was kind of 209 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.159 a flash in the pan. Have one great album. 210 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.960 This was from that what do you call it? The 211 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.279 album's no Angel and this is thank you for Thanksgiving? Okay, 212 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.639 well I want to pull that up all right, but 213 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.320 then Bud, you liked it. 214 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:08.440 We have this nice little soundtrack song list for those 215 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.840 more personal moments. 216 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.000 Okay, I want to add that. I'm glad it would help. 217 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.639 Thank you, okay, from the album No Angel. 218 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.759 Well, thank you for Dido. 219 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.080 What do you. 220 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.360 That's child abuse? That name? 221 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:24.639 What? 222 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:29.080 What? What do you think Dido's doing now hopefully not 223 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:29.679 buying a. 224 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.200 Letter, hopefully living off the royalties from that album that 225 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.720 was a big hit. I'm trying to see what her 226 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:42.679 real name is, Dido Florian Cloud, Devonavial, O'Malley Armstrong. 227 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.159 I don't think that's the real name. That's her entire name, 228 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.480 be part of it maybe, yeah. Now, it's so interesting 229 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.799 these artists too, the one it wonders who that moment 230 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:59.080 of genius and then could never recapture it wild? Well, 231 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.799 thank you, No, that's great, that is a great addition. 232 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.759 Glad you're here. One of the happiest afternoons of the year. 233 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.120 That Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and we've been talking about a 234 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.840 lot of light stuff, like how to approach tomorrow if 235 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.799 you have lefties at the table or maybe you are 236 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.240 a lefty, and how to deal with those of us 237 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.399 who won. But but just keep in mind that you won, right, 238 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.840 we all won, And that's and I think an awful 239 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.399 lot of people who won't admit it realize that. And 240 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:27.399 that's that's why my encouragement tomorrow is, you know, consistent 241 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:32.000 with the Golden Rule, is that just focus on unity. 242 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:33.919 I think it's unrealistic to think there won't be any 243 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.639 politics discussing on. I mean, it's just like if you Yeah, 244 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.000 I was thinking of some examples, like what if you 245 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:43.879 lived in one of those areas that had one of 246 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.279 those volcanoes? You know that just change the whole course 247 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.200 of human history. And and you're getting together for a 248 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.799 big dinner like a month after the volcano. Nobody's gonna 249 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:59.879 mention the volcano. Oh yeah, yeah, uh oh, he'll sure. 250 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.759 How's your golf game? Nobody's gonna mention the volcano. 251 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.519 You're kind of in the same headspace I've been in 252 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:10.080 for some time, Dan, which is I like to flip 253 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.600 the script, if you reverse the roles. How do you 254 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:15.879 think the Liberals would be behaving at Thanksgiving had Kamala 255 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.159 wan and defeated Trump? 256 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.720 Yeah, they'd be all right. But that's not our standard, right. 257 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.480 That's what I'm saying though, that's not our different rules 258 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.440 what we do because we're better than that, and that's 259 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:27.240 why we're winning. 260 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.279 But even if we're losing, we want to be better 261 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.759 than that. Right. All I'm saying is we just do 262 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.399 it with humor. Like if you're doing the prayer, if 263 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.039 you're doing the opening prayer, just squeezing a quick and 264 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.559 thank you Lord for Trump photers. If you're you're praising 265 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.320 the cook at some point, boy, you made that turkey 266 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.320 great again. I mean, just the little thing you greet 267 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.279 the radical nephew at the door. It's just just a 268 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.000 little quick Trump dance move, you know, just like the 269 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.200 gopher and Caddy Shaggy. You know, there are these little 270 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:01.080 things you can do and just laughter. We need more laughter, 271 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.320 I agree with Yeah, yeah, need more laughter. 272 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:04.919 I have fun. 273 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.720 Yeah, And that's why I'm so sorry to touch on 274 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.879 this serious issue. But again, when you get twelve at 275 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:15.519 this point, obviously coordinated terror rising of Trump nominees with 276 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.720 bomb threats to their homes and things like that, and 277 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.360 all of that so disruptive, I just think we have 278 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.159 to be realistic. Again, not to be Danny Downer, I 279 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.840 just think we need to be realistic about the fact that, 280 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.919 Oh I'm so sorry. I'm just looking at this CNN 281 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:39.000 headline and they're quoting some Democrat consultant. Kamala and Fetterman 282 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:44.440 are the future of the Democratic Party. Okay, Fetterman has 283 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:49.960 become kind of a funny surprise every now that by 284 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.200 getting back to the serious business, I think we have 285 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:57.320 to be realistic about something that that. For the same reason, 286 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:01.399 this moment is such an amazing moment to be alive, 287 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.600 because it's one of those rare moments in human history 288 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.480 when there may be a big sea change underway for 289 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.840 the better and a real chance for that. It's not 290 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.799 guaranteed to continue, but a real chance it will. I 291 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.720 think we have to be realistic about the fact that 292 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.759 evil is not just going to sit back and say, Okay, 293 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.879 good you want. And I'm not talking about Democrat versus Republic, 294 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.480 and I'm talking about the reality that there is true 295 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.399 evil in this world on a large scale. And all 296 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.039 of human history has been this ongoing battle between good 297 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.120 and evil. And we all know who wins in the end, right, 298 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.639 God wins in the end. But got to do our 299 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.559 part here. And so all I'm saying is, you know, 300 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:43.919 the assassination's assassination attempts on Trump an example of how 301 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:49.240 far evil will go. And you know this coordinated terrorizing 302 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.559 of the Trump nominees. We've got to be very realistic 303 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.919 when you have people like you know that those who 304 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.960 run the evil Communist Party of China and the iotola 305 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.159 is that regime and evil in the form of Putin 306 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.840 and others out there. They see what's happening, you think 307 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:09.480 they're just gonna sit back and take it. I mean, 308 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:13.120 Trump now so brilliantly aggressive with the threat of terrors 309 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.679 and all the damage he's going to do to China 310 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.320 and Mexico if they don't shut down this chemical attack 311 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.879 on our country. Notice vent and all right now, but 312 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:25.559 so many different types of evil that are not just 313 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.120 going to sit back and take it. And I think 314 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:29.440 we've seen that, and so we've got to be ready. 315 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.759 We've got to be ready and guarding against violence, you know, 316 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.039 violence to try to eliminate these people who are changing 317 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.279 the world for the better, starting with Donald Trump. And 318 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:49.519 so yeah, I just you wonder sometimes Ryan should he 319 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.639 just for the most part stay at Mari Lago and 320 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.519 just stay in a secure environment and govern from there. 321 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.039 And because the main number one thing with Trump is 322 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.919 keep them safe. Trump and his people keep them safe, 323 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:08.000 because obviously evil has attacked and terrorized already and you 324 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.000 can expect it will again. And I'm not talking about 325 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.880 living in fear. I'm talking about defeating and out maneuvering evil. 326 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.119 And when you know they are out to get you, 327 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:17.559 we know their nation, at least one nation stayed out 328 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.559 to get them, right now, that's been acknowledged and in Iran. 329 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:26.640 But what can you do to outmaneuver and defeat evil 330 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.440 in terms of security measures and in terms of thinking 331 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.799 outside the box to make sure Trump is protected, the 332 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.240 people around him are protected, and they continue to do 333 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.400 the good that they're doing. So man, we'll talk about 334 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.440 that some more next week, but we just need to 335 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:49.119 be practical about that. And again it's because he has 336 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:51.880 done so much good in the past. He's already doing 337 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.839 so much good and he hasn't even been inaugurated yet. Yeah, 338 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.839 so evil is not going to quit and just have 339 00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:05.000 to continue to find ways to defeat it two five 340 00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.880 five text d an five seven seven three nine. So, 341 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.200 whether you want to talk about Kamala jokes or how 342 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.359 to defeat evil, it's a Friday, I about it. You're 343 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:14.480 under Dan Capitla ship. 344 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.079 You're listening to the Dan capliss show podcast. 345 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:28.759 Thank you for being travel down. 346 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.799 Look back again. Your hot is true. 347 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.519 You're a p con. 348 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.480 The true story a Thanksgiving. 349 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.200 The story of the Pilgrims begins in the early part 350 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.680 of the seventeenth century. The Church of England, under King 351 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:50.000 James the First was persecuting anyone and everyone who did 352 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:55.319 not recognize its absolute civil and spiritual authority. Those who 353 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.960 challenged ecclesiastical authority and those who believe strongly in freedom 354 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:05.119 of worship were down, imprisoned, and sometimes executed for their beliefs. 355 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:09.480 A group of separatists first fled to Holland and established 356 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.839 a community. After eleven years, about forty of them agreed 357 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.960 to make a perilous journey to the New World, where 358 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.559 they would certainly face hardships, but could live and worship 359 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:24.160 God according to the dictates of their own consciences. On 360 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.119 August first, sixteen to twenty, the Mayflowers set sail. It 361 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:32.680 carried a total of one hundred two passengers, including forty Pilgrims, 362 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.319 led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up 363 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:41.200 an agreement a contract the established just and equal laws 364 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.559 for all members of the new community, irrespective of their 365 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:49.839 religious beliefs. Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in a 366 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.160 Mayflower Compact come from? 367 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.799 They came from the Bible. The Pilgrims were a. 368 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:57.440 People completely steeped in the lessons of the Old and 369 00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.440 New Testaments. 370 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.279 They looked to the ancient Israelites. 371 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:05.839 For their example, and because of the biblical precedence set 372 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:09.680 forth in scripture, they never doubted that their experiment would work. 373 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.039 But it was no pleasure cruise. 374 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.519 The journey to the New World was a long and 375 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.279 arduous one, and when the Pilgrims landed in New England 376 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:23.400 in November, they found, according to Bradford's detailed journal, a cold, barren, 377 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:27.480 desolate wilderness. There were no friends to greet them, he wrote, 378 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.559 There were no houses to shelter them, there were no 379 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:34.799 inns where they could refresh themselves, and the sacrifice they 380 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.319 had made for freedom was just beginning. During the first winter, 381 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:44.279 half the Pilgrims, including Bradford's own wife, died bitter starvation, sickness, 382 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:49.119 or exposure. When spring finally came, Indians taught the settlers 383 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.119 how to plant corn fish for cod and skin beavers 384 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.759 for coats. Life improved for the Pilgrims, but they did 385 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.400 not yet prosper and this is important to understand because 386 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:05.240 this is where modern American history lessons often end. Thanksgiving 387 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:08.680 is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for 388 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.400 which the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving 389 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.759 their lives, rather than as a devout expression of gratitude 390 00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:18.839 grounded in the tradition of both the Old and New Testaments. 391 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:20.759 Here's the part that's been omitted. 392 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.920 The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their 393 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.799 merchant sponsors in London called for everything they produced to 394 00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:32.240 go into a common store, and each member of the 395 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.720 community was entitled to one common share. All of the 396 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.799 land that they cleared and the houses they built belonged 397 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.599 to the community as well, and they were going to 398 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.960 distribute it equally. All the land they cleared, the houses 399 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:49.839 they built belonged to the community. Nobody owned anything, they 400 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.480 just had a share in it. It was a commune. 401 00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:55.680
