Speaker 1: This is Dan Capless 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, even in the
Speaker 1: worst of times. This time, right now, it's about five o'clock,
Speaker 1: and that Wednesday before Thanksgiving is just one of the
Speaker 1: greatest times of the year for a lot of people,
Speaker 1: because Thanksgiving right so many people's favorite or second favorite holiday,
Speaker 1: because you're getting the family together, and it's just there's
Speaker 1: just nothing better than that. The world seems to slow
Speaker 1: down for a few hours and that is so sweet.
Speaker 1: And then for a lot of folks, hopefully it's a
Speaker 1: four day weekend, and that's pretty precious. It's not even
Speaker 1: like a mini vacation. It's like a vacation. So so
Speaker 1: many people come Sunday night at about seven thirty are thinking, man,
Speaker 1: I wish it was I wish it was Wednesday at
Speaker 1: five o'clock again. So it is right now, Let's enjoy
Speaker 1: every minute of it. Glad you're here. We're looking ahead
Speaker 1: to tomorrow and we do know that many of us
Speaker 1: we're going to have some lefties at the table, not leftovers, lefties,
Speaker 1: and so okay, how do you approach that tomorrow? And
Speaker 1: we certainly have many texters and a caller who said,
Speaker 1: not listen, just don't even talk politics. And I respect that,
Speaker 1: I get it. I just live in the real world.
Speaker 1: I think that's unrealistic. This election was so big and
Speaker 1: it's still so close, and it was such a big
Speaker 1: win it and it'd be a lot of alcoholic beverages.
Speaker 1: You know, stuff is going to happen. All I'm saying
Speaker 1: is pay live in the real world, plan ahead, and
Speaker 1: just plan to use humor. So we've just been talking
Speaker 1: about he have some good Kamala Harris jokes, because at
Speaker 1: this point everybody sees that that was that was a
Speaker 1: total joke. That would have been awful for America no
Speaker 1: matter where people come down on the issues. You know,
Speaker 1: some good Kamala Harris jokes, some other ways to work
Speaker 1: humor in. And so we've got some good text and
Speaker 1: calls such as this one. Ryan says, Dan, you're really
Speaker 1: off on this one. Those liberals don't have much of
Speaker 1: a sense of humor, especially when it comes to anything
Speaker 1: regarding Trump et cetera. Definitely would fall flat guaranteed. Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out well.
Speaker 2: And as I said, I hate to say it, but
Speaker 2: I have liberal family members. Those that they are further
Speaker 2: to the left, in my experience, have far less of
Speaker 2: a sense of humor about themselves. They can't laugh at themselves,
Speaker 2: and that's a problem that's tied into it. Their political
Speaker 2: identity is much more to them than a religion. That's
Speaker 2: just what I've found. It's not the same way for us.
Speaker 2: We love Trump, we wanted them to win, but it's
Speaker 2: not a religion thing. My whole deal. Like I said,
Speaker 2: and I agree somewhat with these Texters. If you make
Speaker 2: fun of Kamala, but you do it in a Trump voice,
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna let you.
Speaker 3: But you could tell with Kamala she had too much
Speaker 3: to drink in the debate. It was there.
Speaker 4: You could see it, and you know and the ahaha,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we you know we But only you can
Speaker 1: do those impersonations. So you need to go on cameo friend,
Speaker 1: Lauren Bolbert went on for like an hour, which is
Speaker 1: too bad. Lots of people would have hired her. If
Speaker 1: you're not familiar with cameo, it's this site that you know,
Speaker 1: different people go on and then they get paid for
Speaker 1: sending recorded messages to people things like that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you should go on Cameo to do that. That's fun
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, and of course all of this tomorrow,
Speaker 1: it all starts with right, It all starts with the
Speaker 1: golden rule. You know, you just want to treat other
Speaker 1: people the way you'd want to be treated. And so
Speaker 1: that that's where I think the humor really comes in.
Speaker 1: Let's see happy Thanksgiving wishes to you and Ryan and
Speaker 1: your family, Stephen Littletonnay, thank you, Steve that that is
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. And Dan, it's none of your beeswax.
Speaker 1: That's what people said. That goes back to an earlier caller,
Speaker 1: What an interesting point, and he said, wait a second,
Speaker 1: don't talk politics. He said, there was a day not
Speaker 1: long ago when if you said to somebody who you'd
Speaker 1: vote for, they'd say none of your business. And then
Speaker 1: I thought back, and he's right, because as a little kid,
Speaker 1: I can remember some people my parents' age, but more
Speaker 1: likely grandparents, where they say who'd you vote for? And
Speaker 1: they say it's none of your business. And lots of
Speaker 1: people didn't discuss who they voted for, and I've forgotten
Speaker 1: that Ara even existed. My argument to you would be,
Speaker 1: this is a better era because the stakes are so high,
Speaker 1: these issues are so life and death. We need to
Speaker 1: be out there trying to persuade people. But that was
Speaker 1: definitely easier Dan. Oh, and then none of your beeswax. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody currently under one hundred who uses
Speaker 1: that phrase. But yeah, it used to be. You know,
Speaker 1: you would hear older people saying none of your bees wax.
Speaker 1: But truly, I don't think anybody under one hundred now. Dan.
Speaker 1: On Harris's recent video, I think she's lamenting that she
Speaker 1: surrendered her power to the party and became their puppet.
Speaker 1: I think she's regretting her choices for the past thirty years,
Speaker 1: referring to this video she released yesterday. If you haven't
Speaker 1: seen the video, now, she's an attractive person. This was
Speaker 1: not her best look in this video. Either looked umb. Well,
Speaker 1: people have different explanations.
Speaker 5: I just have to remind you, don't you ever let
Speaker 5: anybody take your power from you. You have the same
Speaker 5: power that you did before November fifth, and you have
Speaker 5: the same purpose that you did, and you have the
Speaker 5: same ability to engage and inspire. So don't ever let
Speaker 5: anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
Speaker 1: Well, first, you've got kind of the overall tone and
Speaker 1: all that, but let's get to the substance of it
Speaker 1: for a second. Once again, it's in some many cases
Speaker 1: untrue because a lot of these people don't have the
Speaker 1: same power they did before November fifth. Their candidate lost
Speaker 1: elections have consequences. And what is highly likely to happen
Speaker 1: now is because conservative stuff works and lefty stuff doesn't.
Speaker 1: Is that there's a tremendous likelihood that Trump's going to
Speaker 1: be very successful in this term and he's going to
Speaker 1: hand it off to j D or somebody else, and
Speaker 1: conservatives are going to win again in twenty eight and
Speaker 1: you're going to have a very long lasting change in America.
Speaker 1: And so and the same purpose, she says, you have
Speaker 1: the same purpose he did before November fifth. No, don't
Speaker 1: buy that, because people change. Everybody in this audience, and
Speaker 1: Ryan can probably give you an example of his life.
Speaker 1: At some point in all of our lives, we have
Speaker 1: been wrong about something important and then you know that
Speaker 1: the truth hit us between the eyes and we had
Speaker 1: to realize we were wrong and admit it and then
Speaker 1: move forward in the right direction. You have a lot
Speaker 1: of people who voted for, particularly young people, though Trump
Speaker 1: did so well with young and one of the reasons
Speaker 1: Trump did so well with young is on the life issues.
Speaker 1: So you've got a lot of these younger people who
Speaker 1: voted for They were very pro abortion. Oh, you don't
Speaker 1: have the same purpose. You can be better, you can change,
Speaker 1: you can realize the error of your ways and in
Speaker 1: the future support somebody who's gonna defend innocent life. So yeah, no,
Speaker 1: she's just wrong on the substance there too. Not to
Speaker 1: get all serious, I'm trying to avoid that today, though
Speaker 1: I do have to get into this story, Ryan, I
Speaker 1: think it's so important.
Speaker 6: Multiple Trump picks have been targeted by violent bomb threats
Speaker 6: and swatting that according to the Trump transition team, no
Speaker 6: injuries have been reported. Brian Yennis is lying from West
Speaker 6: Palm Beach, Florida.
Speaker 1: With the latest on all of this.
Speaker 6: We're beginning to get a little more information of names
Speaker 6: being added to this list. What do we know, Brian, Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's right, Molly Well. Sources tell Fox News that nearly
Speaker 6: a dozen of President like Trump's new administration picks have
Speaker 6: been threatened at least since Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: Yes, So what does this mean for the future? Obviously
Speaker 1: a very coordinated effort, Right, why do you think it happened?
Speaker 1: What does it mean for the future? Four zero five
Speaker 1: A two five five takes d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three night. Now the obvious starting point, right, we
Speaker 1: know none of these people are going to be intimidated,
Speaker 1: none of these people are going to back off, none
Speaker 1: of these people are going to be less vigorous in
Speaker 1: pursuing change, and in part because they're going to follow
Speaker 1: their leader, you know, the guy who got shot in
Speaker 1: the head and jumped back up and said fight, fight,
Speaker 1: fight and won the election in those twelve seconds. So,
Speaker 1: but but what do you think is going on here?
Speaker 1: And what lasting effect do you think it's going to have?
Speaker 1: So we will do something maybe unattainable in talk radio,
Speaker 1: never tried before, which is mixing those two topics Kamala
Speaker 1: jokes and what do you think is going on with
Speaker 1: these coordinated threats against the Trump folks? Have you ever
Speaker 1: been swatted? No? Thank god? Yeah, but we were swatted once.
Speaker 1: It was a fascinating experience, and were Amy and I
Speaker 1: were at home and I think one of the kids
Speaker 1: was with us. It was just a calm, whatever night,
Speaker 1: I can't remember week weekday night, I think. And then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, knock on the door.
Speaker 1: We go the front door. There are a bunch of police
Speaker 1: out in front. Dan, yeah, Dany said everything okay, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: everything's great, said, do you mind if we come in
Speaker 1: search the house? Said all I have at it. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry it doesn't cleaner, you know, because Amy is so
Speaker 1: clean and eat and organized, and that's never been like
Speaker 1: my strength. And so yeah, they just came in, went
Speaker 1: to every corner of the house, said thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: We just got a call that there was something real
Speaker 1: bad happening here. And I think that's before swannin even
Speaker 1: became a term or a thing. But I appreciated the
Speaker 1: way law enforcement handled it. They were great about it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so what do you think all of this
Speaker 1: coordinated effort on the Trump team, where do you think
Speaker 1: it's coming from? And what do you think it's going
Speaker 1: to lead to? And then also, and again sorry to
Speaker 1: be serious, but we have to follow the news of
Speaker 1: the day. I do need to talk about Ukraine just
Speaker 1: for a second and make an observation that I think
Speaker 1: goes right to the heart of everything. And I don't
Speaker 1: hear being discussed out there because Russian official big headlines
Speaker 1: right now just came out and said no one has
Speaker 1: ever defeated the Russians. Just part of you know Russian
Speaker 1: now as you know, it's on the offense, on the
Speaker 1: offense of making a lot of gains in Ukraine, the
Speaker 1: land that Putin is raping and pillaging. But want to
Speaker 1: come back and make a quick observation about how we
Speaker 1: got to this point and why it's so critical that
Speaker 1: Trump get it resolved right now. Eighty five for Zer
Speaker 1: five eight two five five text d An five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine.
Speaker 3: And now back to the dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1: I can't even play sound over that. That's so good.
Speaker 4: Who is that Dido from about twenty years ago?
Speaker 3: Or so Dido that's her name. She was kind of
Speaker 3: a flash in the pan. Have one great album.
Speaker 2: This was from that what do you call it? The
Speaker 2: album's no Angel and this is thank you for Thanksgiving? Okay,
Speaker 2: well I want to pull that up all right, but
Speaker 2: then Bud, you liked it.
Speaker 1: We have this nice little soundtrack song list for those
Speaker 1: more personal moments.
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to add that. I'm glad it would help.
Speaker 2: Thank you, okay, from the album No Angel.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for Dido.
Speaker 4: What do you.
Speaker 1: That's child abuse? That name?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: What? What do you think Dido's doing now hopefully not
Speaker 1: buying a.
Speaker 2: Letter, hopefully living off the royalties from that album that
Speaker 2: was a big hit. I'm trying to see what her
Speaker 2: real name is, Dido Florian Cloud, Devonavial, O'Malley Armstrong.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the real name. That's her entire name,
Speaker 1: be part of it maybe, yeah. Now, it's so interesting
Speaker 1: these artists too, the one it wonders who that moment
Speaker 1: of genius and then could never recapture it wild? Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, No, that's great, that is a great addition.
Speaker 1: Glad you're here. One of the happiest afternoons of the year.
Speaker 1: That Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and we've been talking about a
Speaker 1: lot of light stuff, like how to approach tomorrow if
Speaker 1: you have lefties at the table or maybe you are
Speaker 1: a lefty, and how to deal with those of us
Speaker 1: who won. But but just keep in mind that you won, right,
Speaker 1: we all won, And that's and I think an awful
Speaker 1: lot of people who won't admit it realize that. And
Speaker 1: that's that's why my encouragement tomorrow is, you know, consistent
Speaker 1: with the Golden Rule, is that just focus on unity.
Speaker 1: I think it's unrealistic to think there won't be any
Speaker 1: politics discussing on. I mean, it's just like if you Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was thinking of some examples, like what if you
Speaker 1: lived in one of those areas that had one of
Speaker 1: those volcanoes? You know that just change the whole course
Speaker 1: of human history. And and you're getting together for a
Speaker 1: big dinner like a month after the volcano. Nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: mention the volcano. Oh yeah, yeah, uh oh, he'll sure.
Speaker 1: How's your golf game? Nobody's gonna mention the volcano.
Speaker 2: You're kind of in the same headspace I've been in
Speaker 2: for some time, Dan, which is I like to flip
Speaker 2: the script, if you reverse the roles. How do you
Speaker 2: think the Liberals would be behaving at Thanksgiving had Kamala
Speaker 2: wan and defeated Trump?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'd be all right. But that's not our standard, right.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying though, that's not our different rules
Speaker 2: what we do because we're better than that, and that's
Speaker 2: why we're winning.
Speaker 1: But even if we're losing, we want to be better
Speaker 1: than that. Right. All I'm saying is we just do
Speaker 1: it with humor. Like if you're doing the prayer, if
Speaker 1: you're doing the opening prayer, just squeezing a quick and
Speaker 1: thank you Lord for Trump photers. If you're you're praising
Speaker 1: the cook at some point, boy, you made that turkey
Speaker 1: great again. I mean, just the little thing you greet
Speaker 1: the radical nephew at the door. It's just just a
Speaker 1: little quick Trump dance move, you know, just like the
Speaker 1: gopher and Caddy Shaggy. You know, there are these little
Speaker 1: things you can do and just laughter. We need more laughter,
Speaker 1: I agree with Yeah, yeah, need more laughter.
Speaker 4: I have fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's why I'm so sorry to touch on
Speaker 1: this serious issue. But again, when you get twelve at
Speaker 1: this point, obviously coordinated terror rising of Trump nominees with
Speaker 1: bomb threats to their homes and things like that, and
Speaker 1: all of that so disruptive, I just think we have
Speaker 1: to be realistic. Again, not to be Danny Downer, I
Speaker 1: just think we need to be realistic about the fact that,
Speaker 1: Oh I'm so sorry. I'm just looking at this CNN
Speaker 1: headline and they're quoting some Democrat consultant. Kamala and Fetterman
Speaker 1: are the future of the Democratic Party. Okay, Fetterman has
Speaker 1: become kind of a funny surprise every now that by
Speaker 1: getting back to the serious business, I think we have
Speaker 1: to be realistic about something that that. For the same reason,
Speaker 1: this moment is such an amazing moment to be alive,
Speaker 1: because it's one of those rare moments in human history
Speaker 1: when there may be a big sea change underway for
Speaker 1: the better and a real chance for that. It's not
Speaker 1: guaranteed to continue, but a real chance it will. I
Speaker 1: think we have to be realistic about the fact that
Speaker 1: evil is not just going to sit back and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: good you want. And I'm not talking about Democrat versus Republic,
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the reality that there is true
Speaker 1: evil in this world on a large scale. And all
Speaker 1: of human history has been this ongoing battle between good
Speaker 1: and evil. And we all know who wins in the end, right,
Speaker 1: God wins in the end. But got to do our
Speaker 1: part here. And so all I'm saying is, you know,
Speaker 1: the assassination's assassination attempts on Trump an example of how
Speaker 1: far evil will go. And you know this coordinated terrorizing
Speaker 1: of the Trump nominees. We've got to be very realistic
Speaker 1: when you have people like you know that those who
Speaker 1: run the evil Communist Party of China and the iotola
Speaker 1: is that regime and evil in the form of Putin
Speaker 1: and others out there. They see what's happening, you think
Speaker 1: they're just gonna sit back and take it. I mean,
Speaker 1: Trump now so brilliantly aggressive with the threat of terrors
Speaker 1: and all the damage he's going to do to China
Speaker 1: and Mexico if they don't shut down this chemical attack
Speaker 1: on our country. Notice vent and all right now, but
Speaker 1: so many different types of evil that are not just
Speaker 1: going to sit back and take it. And I think
Speaker 1: we've seen that, and so we've got to be ready.
Speaker 1: We've got to be ready and guarding against violence, you know,
Speaker 1: violence to try to eliminate these people who are changing
Speaker 1: the world for the better, starting with Donald Trump. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, I just you wonder sometimes Ryan should he
Speaker 1: just for the most part stay at Mari Lago and
Speaker 1: just stay in a secure environment and govern from there.
Speaker 1: And because the main number one thing with Trump is
Speaker 1: keep them safe. Trump and his people keep them safe,
Speaker 1: because obviously evil has attacked and terrorized already and you
Speaker 1: can expect it will again. And I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: living in fear. I'm talking about defeating and out maneuvering evil.
Speaker 1: And when you know they are out to get you,
Speaker 1: we know their nation, at least one nation stayed out
Speaker 1: to get them, right now, that's been acknowledged and in Iran.
Speaker 1: But what can you do to outmaneuver and defeat evil
Speaker 1: in terms of security measures and in terms of thinking
Speaker 1: outside the box to make sure Trump is protected, the
Speaker 1: people around him are protected, and they continue to do
Speaker 1: the good that they're doing. So man, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that some more next week, but we just need to
Speaker 1: be practical about that. And again it's because he has
Speaker 1: done so much good in the past. He's already doing
Speaker 1: so much good and he hasn't even been inaugurated yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so evil is not going to quit and just have
Speaker 1: to continue to find ways to defeat it two five
Speaker 1: five text d an five seven seven three nine. So,
Speaker 1: whether you want to talk about Kamala jokes or how
Speaker 1: to defeat evil, it's a Friday, I about it. You're
Speaker 1: under Dan Capitla ship.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Dan capliss show podcast.
Speaker 6: Thank you for being travel down.
Speaker 1: Look back again. Your hot is true.
Speaker 7: You're a p con.
Speaker 4: The true story a Thanksgiving.
Speaker 8: The story of the Pilgrims begins in the early part
Speaker 8: of the seventeenth century. The Church of England, under King
Speaker 8: James the First was persecuting anyone and everyone who did
Speaker 8: not recognize its absolute civil and spiritual authority. Those who
Speaker 8: challenged ecclesiastical authority and those who believe strongly in freedom
Speaker 8: of worship were down, imprisoned, and sometimes executed for their beliefs.
Speaker 8: A group of separatists first fled to Holland and established
Speaker 8: a community. After eleven years, about forty of them agreed
Speaker 8: to make a perilous journey to the New World, where
Speaker 8: they would certainly face hardships, but could live and worship
Speaker 8: God according to the dictates of their own consciences. On
Speaker 8: August first, sixteen to twenty, the Mayflowers set sail. It
Speaker 8: carried a total of one hundred two passengers, including forty Pilgrims,
Speaker 8: led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up
Speaker 8: an agreement a contract the established just and equal laws
Speaker 8: for all members of the new community, irrespective of their
Speaker 8: religious beliefs. Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in a
Speaker 8: Mayflower Compact come from?
Speaker 4: They came from the Bible. The Pilgrims were a.
Speaker 8: People completely steeped in the lessons of the Old and
Speaker 8: New Testaments.
Speaker 4: They looked to the ancient Israelites.
Speaker 8: For their example, and because of the biblical precedence set
Speaker 8: forth in scripture, they never doubted that their experiment would work.
Speaker 4: But it was no pleasure cruise.
Speaker 8: The journey to the New World was a long and
Speaker 8: arduous one, and when the Pilgrims landed in New England
Speaker 8: in November, they found, according to Bradford's detailed journal, a cold, barren,
Speaker 8: desolate wilderness. There were no friends to greet them, he wrote,
Speaker 8: There were no houses to shelter them, there were no
Speaker 8: inns where they could refresh themselves, and the sacrifice they
Speaker 8: had made for freedom was just beginning. During the first winter,
Speaker 8: half the Pilgrims, including Bradford's own wife, died bitter starvation, sickness,
Speaker 8: or exposure. When spring finally came, Indians taught the settlers
Speaker 8: how to plant corn fish for cod and skin beavers
Speaker 8: for coats. Life improved for the Pilgrims, but they did
Speaker 8: not yet prosper and this is important to understand because
Speaker 8: this is where modern American history lessons often end. Thanksgiving
Speaker 8: is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for
Speaker 8: which the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving
Speaker 8: their lives, rather than as a devout expression of gratitude
Speaker 8: grounded in the tradition of both the Old and New Testaments.
Speaker 4: Here's the part that's been omitted.
Speaker 8: The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their
Speaker 8: merchant sponsors in London called for everything they produced to
Speaker 8: go into a common store, and each member of the
Speaker 8: community was entitled to one common share. All of the
Speaker 8: land that they cleared and the houses they built belonged
Speaker 8: to the community as well, and they were going to
Speaker 8: distribute it equally. All the land they cleared, the houses
Speaker 8: they built belonged to the community. Nobody owned anything, they
Speaker 8: just had a share in it. It was a commune.
Speaker 8: It was the forerunner to the communes we saw in
Speaker 8: the sixties and seventies out in California. And it was
Speaker 8: a complete with organic vegetables, even just like the communes
Speaker 8: of today are God There's no question it was organic vegetables. Bradford,
Speaker 8: who had become the new governor of the Econony, recognized
Speaker 8: that this form of collectivism was as costly and destructive
Speaker 8: to the Pilgrims as that first harsh winter, which had
Speaker 8: taken so many lives.
Speaker 4: He decided to take bold action.
Speaker 8: Bradford assigned a plot of land each family to work
Speaker 8: and manage.
Speaker 4: Thus turning loose the power in the marketplace.
Speaker 8: Long before Carl Marx was even born, the Pilgrims had
Speaker 8: discovered and experimented with what could only be described as socialism,
Speaker 8: and what happened. It didn't work, but nearly starved. It
Speaker 8: never has worked. What Bradford and his community found was
Speaker 8: that the most creative and industrious people had no incentive
Speaker 8: to work any harder than anybody else unless they could
Speaker 8: utilize the power of personal motivation.
Speaker 4: But while most of the rest of the world.
Speaker 8: Has been experimenting with socialism for well over one hundred years,
Speaker 8: trying to refine it, perfect it, and reinvent it, the
Speaker 8: Pilgrims decided early on to scrap it permanently. What Bradford
Speaker 8: wrote about this social experiment should be in every school
Speaker 8: child's history lesson if it were we might prevent such
Speaker 8: needless suffering in the future.
Speaker 1: Only one rush. Wow, it's interesting, right, and nobody has
Speaker 1: stepped up and even come close. Right, No, and probably
Speaker 1: nobody ever will. Yeah, just just one of one.
Speaker 2: Just his manner, his way of delivering a story like
Speaker 2: that one. Yeah, and there was. He was a master
Speaker 2: communicator and a master of this craft.
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, and did a lot of good eight five
Speaker 1: five for zero five A two five five text dam
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine. If you just joined us,
Speaker 1: thank you. We've been talking about a mix of serious
Speaker 1: things and then kind of fun, practical how to navigate
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving tomorrow with lefties at the table kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So if you have any suggestions, we're wide open to it.
Speaker 1: A lot of listeners seem to have thoroughly rejected mind
Speaker 1: which I stand by by the way, which is, let's
Speaker 1: live in the real world. Okay, it's not realistic to
Speaker 1: think that it's going to be totally sanitized tomorrow, that
Speaker 1: somehow you're going to get through without any political discussion
Speaker 1: if you have lefties hair, it's not I mean, just
Speaker 1: at the most consequential election of our lifetime, and we
Speaker 1: want America saying it's somehow going to work its way in.
Speaker 1: So let's just understand the landscape realistically and plan accordingly,
Speaker 1: which means humor, Okay, golden rule. I want to treat
Speaker 1: people the way we'd want to be treated. So if
Speaker 1: it's got to come up, if it's going to come up,
Speaker 1: especially with some beverages thrown in, just playing on humor.
Speaker 1: So some good Kamala jokes that nobody can get Oh,
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that show. Nobody can get
Speaker 1: upset about humor about Kamala Hars because she's got no
Speaker 1: constituency and it's fair. I'm not talking about me and humor,
Speaker 1: but just humor about Kamala Harris that can't bother any
Speaker 1: reasonable person. And then just subtle things like a little
Speaker 1: Trump dance movie. You don't work some YMCA maybe into
Speaker 1: the song track everybody I think mixes in like the
Speaker 1: occasional Christmas song. But then like, what are great Thanksgiving songs?
Speaker 1: You played old Dido who I'd never heard of, Dido
Speaker 1: who I'd never heard of before.
Speaker 3: That's a good question.
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving songs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're specific to that holiday and there's not a
Speaker 2: lot to come to mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Adam Sandler song or that's a joke song.

Speaker 1: Okay, and Ryan, by the way, you already know does
Speaker 1: a great show two to four in the Denver market
Speaker 1: before this show, must be serious if you're talking about
Speaker 1: her on air.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of one of those things in this business.
Speaker 2: You know, you talk about Amy obviously she's your wife,
Speaker 2: but none from many years or we were married.
Speaker 1: One of the greatest Amy mentioned on air ever before
Speaker 1: we were married.
Speaker 2: I imagine you had to be careful because she was
Speaker 2: also in an on air capacity. Oh she was in
Speaker 2: a very on air crisis CBS four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but and just truly one of the greatest anchors
Speaker 1: ever could have done anything, could have gone network, whatever
Speaker 1: she wanted to do. But we're dating very seriously. And
Speaker 1: I was doing a Saturday show at that time on
Speaker 1: KAWA and I think it started at eight in the morning,
Speaker 1: and so I'm running late to start the show, which
Speaker 1: is not great in radio, as most people probably know.
Speaker 1: So whoever was the host in front of me just
Speaker 1: kept going and and so I get in and and
Speaker 1: the h no, I'm listening. That's right. I'm driving from Boulder,
Speaker 1: and I'm listening to the show, and the host is
Speaker 1: covering for me and saying, oh, Dan, you know he's
Speaker 1: hit some traffic. This and the ass Saturday morning hit
Speaker 1: some traffic show started at nine actually, And anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: listening to the show, my show with somebody else hosting it,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, this lady who sounded like
Speaker 1: a hundred years old and not very happy, calls in
Speaker 1: and says.
Speaker 4: He's not in traffic.
Speaker 1: I just saw Misspoor leave his house. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got. So I'm driving down thirty six and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, that was. That was a great moment
Speaker 1: in broadcast history. Busted, yep, proud, busted, but good thing.
Speaker 1: I had a three bedroom house. There you go eight
Speaker 1: five five five eight two five five text d A
Speaker 1: N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3: And now back to The Dan Kapla Show Podcast.
Speaker 1: Gob Gobble.
Speaker 7: Gobble Gobble Souper gobble gobble, gobble gobble.
Speaker 2: You listen Cooming now.
Speaker 7: Gobble gobble gobble gobble four camel gobble.
Speaker 1: Please can I have some more? Yeah? See quickest way
Speaker 1: to a billion dollars? Just come up with a good
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving song? All right, that's like the only Thanksgiving song
Speaker 1: we Yeah, gotta fix that. Eight five to five for
Speaker 1: five two five five the number that came up because
Speaker 1: we were talking about kind of fun ways to slip
Speaker 1: in a little victory talk tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner. If
Speaker 1: you've got some left, he's there, And I was saying,
Speaker 1: you just work Ymca into the playlist and then watch
Speaker 1: even the Left. He's just automatically. Now you'll get the
Speaker 1: little Trump dance move going, just light stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Glad you're here, Texters, Dan, very thankful. We only have
Speaker 1: seven point five weeks left of Biden, Harris and the
Speaker 1: rest that from our good friend Alexa. But but you know,
Speaker 1: not again, not to be all serious, but the simple,
Speaker 1: undeniable truth is Joe Biden should not be president for
Speaker 1: another ten seconds. He's not competent, he's not capable. And
Speaker 1: it's a very bad precedent to just be saying, ah,
Speaker 1: it's okay because there's only seven and a half weeks left. No,
Speaker 1: we we should not be accepting this as kind of
Speaker 1: a new normal, abnormal.
Speaker 2: If I may report something quickly about my life. This
Speaker 2: from True Social and the President elect Donald Trump just
Speaker 2: had a wonderful conversation with the new president of Mexico,
Speaker 2: Claudia Shine Bombardo. She has agreed to stop migration through
Speaker 2: Mexico and into the United States, effectively closing our southern border.
Speaker 2: We also talked about what can be done to stop
Speaker 2: the massive drug flow into the United States and also
Speaker 2: US consumption of these drugs. It was a very productive conversation.
Speaker 1: It's piece or strength the threat of tariffs, right, and
Speaker 1: now we need the same darn thing with China. China
Speaker 1: has been launching a chemical weapons attack on this country
Speaker 1: for years in the form of fetanol, and a lot
Speaker 1: of it through Mexico. And that's why I think you
Speaker 1: see support now in the polls for tariffs, even if
Speaker 1: it raises prices. You see support because Americans want some
Speaker 1: power back, they want some control back short of war,
Speaker 1: and tariffs can help accomplish that Trump proved in the
Speaker 1: first term. He knows how to use that stick and
Speaker 1: the carrot, and you see both working already on multiple fronts,
Speaker 1: including this report from Mexico. Yeah, so, can we please
Speaker 1: have that sound You're gonna get tired of winning. You're
Speaker 1: gonna win so much, you're gonna get tired of winning.
Speaker 1: We need that on the button button. We need that
Speaker 1: on the button from Yeah, absolutely, on the button bar.
Speaker 4: You're gonna get tired of winning.
Speaker 1: And let me play this because again you see that
Speaker 1: psychological terrorizing of the Trump team, not that they're going
Speaker 1: to be intimidated, this coordinated round of bomb threats and
Speaker 1: everything else against nominees just a reminder, and we've seen
Speaker 1: it before, the Tunis assassination attempts that that evil is
Speaker 1: never going to go down easy. And we are in
Speaker 1: the middle. I think of a sea change in this
Speaker 1: nation and world for the better. And and so just
Speaker 1: keeping Trump safe and keeping his people safe is of
Speaker 1: paramount importance. And so just you know, the official and
Speaker 1: it has been for a long time, prayer of the
Speaker 1: Dan Kaplo show, which Trump himself tweeted up.
Speaker 9: Out, Saint Michael the Archangel defend us in battle be
Speaker 9: our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
Speaker 9: May God rebuke him. We humbly pray and do thou, o,
Speaker 9: Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God,
Speaker 9: cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who
Speaker 9: prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Speaker 7: Amen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm great to see Trump invoke that and so
Speaker 1: many people praying that for him. I'm Catholic, and almost
Speaker 1: every Catholic mass I go to, no matter where I go,
Speaker 1: now ends with that prayer. And what's interesting, Ryan, have
Speaker 1: you ever been in a Catholic church?
Speaker 4: I have?
Speaker 1: Okay, what's interest? Oh is Kelsey. That's her name, Kelsey.
Speaker 1: But there's still time. But anyway, what's so interesting is
Speaker 1: that particular prayer depending on the church you're in, but
Speaker 1: it's always loud and almost anything else. But some of
Speaker 1: the churches it's like, okay, you know, you're at a
Speaker 1: Bronco game or something, that prayer. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: people really get into it. You can really get some
Speaker 1: volume going on that. But I hope you have a
Speaker 1: great thanksgiving you as well. Yeah, thank you. You know,
Speaker 1: it always is for almost every bit, right, you're just
Speaker 1: being together with family.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 3: The joke could make it back.
Speaker 1: Oh so glad. Yeah, law school and like all the
Speaker 1: students out there now, they're heading into finals and stuff.
Speaker 1: So just a few day, a little break for all
Speaker 1: these student types and everybody's so happy to have them home.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so I just hope and it's you know,
Speaker 1: one of the great things about Thanksgiving, it's it's a
Speaker 1: reminder that the very best things in life are are
Speaker 1: truly the simple things, you know, and just the basics.
Speaker 1: Because ninety nine point nine percent of all people tomorrow
Speaker 1: are going to get more joy out of just being together,
Speaker 1: having something to eat together, and above all, having the
Speaker 1: time together. Then they would out anything you could buy.
Speaker 1: So it's just it. It is a great reminder of that.
Speaker 1: But hey, Ryan, thank you for everything. Thanks to our
Speaker 1: good friend Kelly. A little under the weather today, have
Speaker 1: a tremendous forty weekend. We'll be back Monday. I hope
Speaker 1: you have your greatest Thanksgiving ever. Let the celebration continue,
Speaker 1: and we'll do that on Monday on The Dan Kapla Show.
