Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. The celebration continues
Speaker 1: five oh five. Glad you're here, A good reason to
Speaker 1: celebrate each and every day, and with Monday. I mean
Speaker 1: you can touch it, you can feel it, you can
Speaker 1: taste it. Right now, what do you want to see
Speaker 1: Trump do?
Speaker 2: First?
Speaker 1: That the very first thing you want to see him
Speaker 1: do in terms of action? What do you want to
Speaker 1: hear him say in his inaugural address? Eight five to
Speaker 1: five for zero five A two five five texts Dan
Speaker 1: five seven seven three.
Speaker 2: Now I want to get your take on the president's.
Speaker 1: Decision to move the inauguration indoors, if it in fact
Speaker 1: was his decision. I assume that it is, but want
Speaker 1: to get your take on that and so much more. Also,
Speaker 1: if you would like to help contribute toward burial and
Speaker 1: related expenses for one of the the victims of that
Speaker 1: spree killer on the mall, Nicholas Burkette thirty four thirty
Speaker 1: four Butcher to death on the mall and over twenty
Speaker 1: four hours after the Johnston administration knew that it had
Speaker 1: a spree killer targeting the mall who was on the loose.
Speaker 2: And I think any.
Speaker 1: Security professional would tell you the expectation had to be
Speaker 1: the way that that killer had committed those heinous crimes
Speaker 1: was likely to kill again. Yeah, his life has taken
Speaker 1: Nicholas Burkettes. So you can go to at dan kaplis,
Speaker 1: you can find the go fundme or go directly to
Speaker 1: go fund me honoring Nicholas and I cocho La S.
Speaker 2: Burkett b U r k e Tt. His father Wing
Speaker 2: was kind enough to.
Speaker 1: Join us on the show yesterday and was just very
Speaker 1: compelling in that conversation because as everybody knows that that's
Speaker 1: just anybody's absolute worst nightmare and everybody lives in fear.
Speaker 1: That call. My friend Ryan was supposed to be at
Speaker 1: the inauguration on Monday. You still will be going. It's
Speaker 1: just going to take a different form, you know something
Speaker 1: I don't Well, no, no, I'm just wondering how are
Speaker 1: you going to get in? Because they're only going to
Speaker 1: be about twenty thousand in the Capital Center, right.
Speaker 3: Well, my plan I don't want to give away the game.
Speaker 3: I guess I'll do it, but I want to get
Speaker 3: down there. They had originally said when we're going to
Speaker 3: be on the mall, there's going to be security checkpoints
Speaker 3: to get starting at six am Eastern times, so four
Speaker 3: am this time in the Mountain time zone. So my
Speaker 3: plan is going to be to try to get there
Speaker 3: sometime during the five am hour before six am. I'm
Speaker 3: assuming unless I find out other details to gain entry
Speaker 3: to the Capitol One arena to try to be one
Speaker 3: of those twenty thousand. Guess otherwise I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, your rocky like success has been a
Speaker 1: testament to your ingenuity, and you always find a way.
Speaker 1: So I have no doubt. I have no doubt you
Speaker 1: will not only be in the arena, You'll probably be
Speaker 1: on the stage if Trump will probably have you say
Speaker 1: a few words.
Speaker 2: You know how he does that every time. Awesome?
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it would be for everybody, everybody, crabably would
Speaker 1: be for everybody, particularly for this Texter or my favorite
Speaker 1: of the day, Ryan, Please, I am changing stations when
Speaker 1: Dan comes on. He's the worst.
Speaker 2: Now here's the only thing I'm wondering about.
Speaker 1: My friend is This comes in like forty five minutes
Speaker 1: into what would have been the start of my show,
Speaker 1: But I was in a court hearing, so you started
Speaker 1: the show. So if he hates me that much, what's
Speaker 1: he doing tuning in forty five minutes into my show?
Speaker 1: He can't get enough of you? You know that? Dan.
Speaker 1: You know what one of the very best things about
Speaker 1: being on air for decades is I really appreciate the
Speaker 1: people who disagree who listen, really appreciate that, and even
Speaker 1: more so when they call or text Dight five to
Speaker 1: five for zero five two five five, text DN five seven,
Speaker 1: seven through nine. If it can be proven, says a
Speaker 1: Texter in a court of law that Joe Biden is incompetent,
Speaker 1: can is more egregious? Executive orders and pardons then be overturned,
Speaker 1: Thanks Doug. Doug, in my humble opinion, No, and now listen,
Speaker 1: do we have president. No. But the reason I think
Speaker 1: that such efforts would fail, you know, barring something really
Speaker 1: on the most possible extreme end, would be because we
Speaker 1: have a mechanism in place, and the courts are just
Speaker 1: understandably and should be very very inclined to defer to
Speaker 1: the people through the political process. We've got this process
Speaker 1: in place right for exercising the twenty fifth Amendment. You know,
Speaker 1: you can remove a president through action by the cabinet
Speaker 1: and then the VP, etc. And none of that has occurred.
Speaker 1: So I would expect that any challenges along those lines
Speaker 1: to anything we've seen so far, and we've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of bad stuff that know that that would not succeed.
Speaker 2: Hey, if we're sitting around with a six pack and we're.
Speaker 1: Trying to dream stuff up that Scotus might jump in
Speaker 1: on and say that's a bridge too far. Assuming that
Speaker 1: you could prove the obvious underlying that he's not mentally
Speaker 1: competent to be president, then yeah, maybe on some extreme example.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of the lousy stuff we've seen
Speaker 1: so far. Dan, The inauguration is being moved inside because
Speaker 1: the very people that want to see Trump dead are
Speaker 1: not to show up. I assume they mean to finish
Speaker 1: that not going to show up inside. So they're suggesting
Speaker 1: the security explanation, and has that been officially put out
Speaker 1: there right? I mean a security issue for the inside move.
Speaker 1: I think the explanation has been the weather right now,
Speaker 1: If it was a security issue, whether or not they're
Speaker 1: acknowledging that, then that would make perfect sense, right, given
Speaker 1: what's already been directed to this president and the reasonable
Speaker 1: assumption that you have a multiple evil nation states at
Speaker 1: this point taking aim at this president because he is
Speaker 1: the biggest threat to evil that we have seen in
Speaker 1: our lifetime. I mean, in Ronald Reagan was a very
Speaker 1: effective threat to evil and advanced the world tremendously for
Speaker 1: the good. But I think Donald Trump at this moment
Speaker 1: in time, the biggest threat to evil we've seen in
Speaker 1: our lifetime. AHRDI let's get back to the calls, the text,
Speaker 1: the TikTok thing, nobody seems to have an interest in,
Speaker 1: which is really interesting to me because so many people
Speaker 1: are in TikTok right now. I'll bet you if it
Speaker 1: goes down, and I don't expect it to go down
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but with the Supreme Court clearing the way,
Speaker 1: if at some point it goes down, then yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we'll get a lot of calls.
Speaker 2: Are you on the talk? No?
Speaker 3: I have an account, but I've deactivated it so many
Speaker 3: times just because I don't want China Yeah spying exactly,
Speaker 3: China spy.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 2: You don't want them to know about you anything. I
Speaker 2: don't want to know anything marketing information air my friend.
Speaker 3: I don't care. China doesn't listen to the show. We
Speaker 3: know you're big in Japan.
Speaker 2: Don't think so.
Speaker 3: You are big in Japan. You're Japan's favorite morning show.
Speaker 1: You're not giving yourself enough credit when it comes to China.
Speaker 3: I want to be like by China. I don't want
Speaker 3: them to know anything about me unless I give it
Speaker 3: to them, and I don't want to offer it to them,
Speaker 3: and I want to serve it up on a platter.
Speaker 2: Talk's stupid.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's one hundred and seventy five million Americans
Speaker 1: on Tame.
Speaker 3: Oh that's true. It's popular. Yeah, I'm just saying I
Speaker 3: don't like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan, only four hots and two cuts until Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's weekend to Bernes's presidency is officially over. Awesome, very
Speaker 1: well said, and you know, literally we have to thank God,
Speaker 1: assuming we get there on Monday. We have to thank
Speaker 1: God that it wasn't even worse during the Biden presidency,
Speaker 1: because obviously he's awful to begin with, but then you
Speaker 1: throw in this very sad mental decline and just the
Speaker 1: peril of the nation's been in now at the same time,
Speaker 1: we've seen the world on fire because of Biden's weakness
Speaker 1: and the democrats weakness. So many innocent lives lost, so
Speaker 1: much terror, so much horror, all because of the weakness
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden and the Democrats and so but it's
Speaker 1: really almost mind blowing to think about how much worse
Speaker 1: it could have been during that time. But yeah, thank
Speaker 1: god noon on Monday. Dan Trump is so lucky it's
Speaker 1: going to be cold Monday. It would be a great
Speaker 1: excuse for the low turnout. He's so tough, he can't
Speaker 1: handle a little cold weather. This is hilarious. I so
Speaker 1: wish this person would call the show, because what they
Speaker 1: seem to have missed in all this is he won.
Speaker 2: Trump won.
Speaker 1: So the left ones to argue, Oh, he was afraid
Speaker 1: of low turnout. Wait a second, he got the turnout
Speaker 1: when it mattered on election day. Who cares how many
Speaker 1: people are on the mall right by the way, I mean,
Speaker 1: un had a date night at the ABS last night,
Speaker 1: had to detour because of traffic, so he drove past
Speaker 1: the sixteenth Street mall. Just a ghost town, like a
Speaker 1: total ghost town. But I guess it largely was before too.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so this I hope the left now and
Speaker 1: I hope seeing an an MSNBC and everybody else tries
Speaker 1: to say, oh, this is because he was afraid of
Speaker 1: low crowds. The man won the election, and he won
Speaker 1: the election handling now, Listen, I don't know what those
Speaker 1: crowds would have been on Monday, because you know what,
Speaker 1: there's one thing about Trump supporters.
Speaker 2: They tend to work.
Speaker 1: They tend to work for a living, and Trump supporters,
Speaker 1: you know, working people don't have a whole lot extra money,
Speaker 1: you know, to take off for DCA. They got to
Speaker 1: be somewhere, They got to be at work, They got
Speaker 1: to be, you know, taking care of their families.
Speaker 2: See, you know, they're working people.
Speaker 1: You know, they just don't have another grand or two
Speaker 1: or three to take off to DC for an inauguration.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, it's uh in terms of handling the
Speaker 1: cold weather. That's again why I wish this troll would call,
Speaker 1: because yeah, the man got shot in the head, no
Speaker 1: advanced notice, and within seconds, bleeding was up on his
Speaker 1: feet saying fight, fight, fight, Yes, So anybody wants to
Speaker 1: question his toughness, that person should probably share Joe Biden's doctor, Dan,
Speaker 1: if it can be proven not, we get to that one.
Speaker 2: Dan, my name is John.
Speaker 1: I think that there's problems out there, which is why
Speaker 1: they moved the inauguration inside. I heard a lady on
Speaker 1: Fox News talk about two surface tair missiles missing that
Speaker 1: they thought had come across the Mexican border. I wonder
Speaker 1: if that may be part of it. You wonder if
Speaker 1: it was a security concern, and you can understand why
Speaker 1: if it was us, do you think they'd let us know?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Eight five five or five A
Speaker 1: two five five texts DA N five seven seven through nine.
Speaker 1: Do you think that we would be informed Ryan, if
Speaker 1: this is being done because of security? I do not, right,
Speaker 1: I agree, yeah, yeah, And you know, I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think the administration would want to project that
Speaker 1: give that impression, concern the American people that way, cloud
Speaker 1: the day that way, encourage the enemy that way. Long
Speaker 1: long text. Sorry, that's too long to get to about
Speaker 1: somebody who was at the last inauguration, Dan and Ryan
Speaker 1: and Kelly. I met my hero Mandy Connell, and I
Speaker 1: got the opportunity to go to the Billy Joel concert
Speaker 1: with you. All and it was a blast and really
Speaker 1: freaking hot. So hey, it's a Friday. It's a Friday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Mandy is wonderful. All righty, we have a lot
Speaker 1: to chew on here, so much great sow. What a
Speaker 1: week it's been right for these Trump nominees and does
Speaker 1: as we talked about a little bit before, not only
Speaker 1: have they all done well enough to get confirmed, but
Speaker 1: they've all done so well that they're going to go
Speaker 1: in with the fast start. And in the meantime, the
Speaker 1: Democrats have really beclowned themselves. First time I've ever used
Speaker 1: that word, but I couldn't think of a different one.
Speaker 1: We're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5: Mel Gibson is a very good guy. I've met him
Speaker 5: a number of times. Good guy, but out there that
Speaker 5: was super Mel Gibson on his crime Oh yeah, and
Speaker 5: I was on a plane and there was absolutely nothing
Speaker 5: to do.
Speaker 1: It was one of these planes that.
Speaker 5: You couldn't make calls, you couldn't do it. They had
Speaker 5: tapes and they showed me like they showed no, but
Speaker 5: they showed they showed me.
Speaker 1: Sir.
Speaker 5: We have twenty tapes and I looked at the tapes
Speaker 5: that they were and this was like twenty years after
Speaker 5: it was made. This was probably six years ago. I
Speaker 5: never saw Braveheart. Okay, they showed me a tape. I said,
Speaker 5: all right, let's put that one on and within about
Speaker 5: four minutes they said, this may be the greatest.
Speaker 1: Moment kind of.
Speaker 2: A Braveheart fan. But you you've seen.
Speaker 1: It all I saw with my mom.
Speaker 2: I wish I saw with my mother.
Speaker 6: But it was good that your Brave Heart moment, like
Speaker 6: after getting shot, when you.
Speaker 5: Don't think of that in those moments, you do what
Speaker 5: you do. Gibson, but he's he's good. But he was
Speaker 5: when he in prime time, he was unbelievable. I mean
Speaker 5: at that you know, his look, his way, his You
Speaker 5: couldn't have had a better guy playing it.
Speaker 1: But it was. That was a great movie.
Speaker 5: But it is to England and you know at that
Speaker 5: time for a thousand years.
Speaker 1: Yeah. President Trump he appointed these Hollywood ambassadors, Gibson, Stallone
Speaker 1: and john Ford to uh be Hollywood Ambassadors. Ryan, exactly
Speaker 1: what do you expect them to do?
Speaker 3: That's a great question. I discussed it with Deborah Flora,
Speaker 3: who you know, Yes, she's been both in the radio world,
Speaker 3: and in the world of politics and the world of Hollywood.
Speaker 3: She worked her and her husband in Hollywood and films,
Speaker 3: and he worked for Disney and then Christian Toto, And
Speaker 3: we were saying, what will be the endgame the result
Speaker 3: of Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson and John Voyd and
Speaker 3: being ambassadors to Hollywood. The point I think that Deborah
Speaker 3: made was Hollywood doesn't necessarily want ambassadors coming in and
Speaker 3: telling them what to do, but I think they'd be
Speaker 3: wise to listen. They're losing a lot of audience, and
Speaker 3: they could really appeal to a broader audience if they
Speaker 3: just would embrace those of us that are right of.
Speaker 2: Center job description.
Speaker 1: They will serve as special envoys to me for the
Speaker 1: purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over
Speaker 1: the last four years to foreign countries, back bigger, better
Speaker 1: and stronger than before. I love it, you know, because
Speaker 1: part of what I just love the freshness, the creativity.
Speaker 1: And you see this in ways larger and smaller the board.
Speaker 1: I think we've already seen right now. If we have
Speaker 1: never in our entire lifetime seeing a president elect other
Speaker 1: than someone heading into a second term consecutively, a president
Speaker 1: elect have a more dramatic impact on the nah nation
Speaker 1: before he's actually sworn in. Can you imagine what is
Speaker 1: to come. They're so focused, they're so organized. And one
Speaker 1: of the reasons I'm so excited for Monday and Tuesday
Speaker 1: and Wednesday is I'm expecting some stuff I'm not expecting.
Speaker 1: And that's just always been Trump's trademark. He had four
Speaker 1: years to think what he'd do if he got a
Speaker 1: second chance. So we're expecting a lot of shock and
Speaker 1: all types stuff. But I'm expecting the stuff I'm not expecting,
Speaker 1: and that may very well be the best stuff. This
Speaker 1: may be Ryan a new high or low, depending on
Speaker 1: how you look at it. Eerie might texting us, oh boy, Dan, sorry,
Speaker 1: I can't call.
Speaker 2: I'm on the tarmac at DIA. That's got to be painful,
Speaker 2: right great.
Speaker 1: Having worked on the tarmac, not at DIA but Stapleton
Speaker 1: as a baggage handler, I know it can be very
Speaker 1: cold out there tonight. By the way, tonight the low
Speaker 1: is going to be nine minus four Tomorrow, minus three Sunday,
Speaker 1: minus ten Monday. Then it starts to warm up minus
Speaker 1: fifteen or not minus fifteen. After the minus ten Monday,
Speaker 1: it comes back up to fifteen on Tuesday and then
Speaker 1: gets progressively nicer. But we should stop saying that progressively
Speaker 1: nicer because there's nothing nice about progressivism, right, so it
Speaker 1: starts getting conservatively nicer. I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, Eerie Mike compelled to text us from the
Speaker 1: turmaic at DIA. You know Trump does care about the crowds.
Speaker 1: Remember twenty twenty one, Mike from Eerie. Yeah, sure he does,
Speaker 1: of course he does. You know, the guys got pride,
Speaker 1: he's got an ego. Of course he cares about the crowds.
Speaker 1: So Mike's theory is that he is moving the inauguration
Speaker 1: indoors because he thinks the crowds will be small. Well,
Speaker 1: knock yourselves out, Mike, everybody else on the left who
Speaker 1: wants to think that.
Speaker 2: And if that gives you some comfort, I hope you
Speaker 2: sleep well.
Speaker 1: Bit. But here's what I come back to. And there's
Speaker 1: no flaw in this logic that I can find. If
Speaker 1: you can eight five to five for zero five eight
Speaker 1: two five five text da five seven seven three nine
Speaker 1: based upon everything I've seen, look at everything you've seen.
Speaker 1: Since election day, Trump has been virtually flawless. His team
Speaker 1: has been virtually flawless. Not totally, but it's the human process.
Speaker 1: Nobody's perfect. But the point is, whatever the reason for
Speaker 1: the decision was, I trust that it was a good
Speaker 1: one that's going to help Trump and his team keep
Speaker 1: their momentum. If it was based and I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it was. If it was based on a concern about
Speaker 1: crowd size, well, and that's probably a good decision if
Speaker 1: a small crowd would have somehow hurt the momentum going
Speaker 1: into office. All I care about is is the stuff
Speaker 1: that they get this stuff done, and they get this
Speaker 1: stuff done in a hurry, and they get it done right,
Speaker 1: and they've been making so many good moves anything at
Speaker 1: this point that might distract from their momentum. If it
Speaker 1: was a concern over small crowd size, and I'm betting
Speaker 1: that that probably was not it, then then yeah, I
Speaker 1: trust him to be making the right decisions now to
Speaker 1: get this administration off on a fast start, which it
Speaker 1: already has. Let's go back to the Texters. I think
Speaker 1: in the end, if we ever truly know, my guess
Speaker 1: is it's a security thing. And it's easy to see
Speaker 1: why it might be a security thing, but it does
Speaker 1: leave our friend Ryan literally out in the cold, which
Speaker 1: is ironic here, right, it is because you were going
Speaker 1: to be there.
Speaker 2: Now, how far back on the mall do you think
Speaker 2: you would have been where.
Speaker 3: I was looking to check in.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I would have gotten to the seats where the really
Speaker 3: important people set, but probably not far behind that. I
Speaker 3: was thinking about a third of the way between the
Speaker 3: Capitol Building and the Washington Monument. That's going to be
Speaker 3: like the range of which it was going to be
Speaker 3: where the we're going to And it's just the whole experience, right,
Speaker 3: I'm kind of disappointed, but yes, but it will still
Speaker 3: be a great experience, just in a different way, and
Speaker 3: in some ways maybe an even better experience because of
Speaker 3: the uniqueness of it.
Speaker 1: In any case, Ryan will be coming in and giving updates.
Speaker 1: Think about it, and we've got another half hour. I
Speaker 1: hope you stay for it. The next time we get together.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will be present the People Saved America again.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump will be president once again.
Speaker 1: I can't think about that as you think back to
Speaker 1: the start of this year, right, what were we talking
Speaker 1: about a year ago today on this show? It depends
Speaker 1: on whether it was a Saturday. But anyway, what we
Speaker 1: were talking about was my promise to you that this
Speaker 1: would be one of the most exciting, gratifying years of
Speaker 1: your life. This would be one of the most wild
Speaker 1: and exciting years in American political history. It was certainly
Speaker 1: that promised you Joe Biden would not be the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party nominee, promised you that their nominee would fail miserably
Speaker 1: for all the reasons the nominee did, but above all,
Speaker 1: that Donald J. Trump would win and that we would
Speaker 1: turn this thing around. And I say we because the
Speaker 1: American people saved America and Donald Trump primarily by being
Speaker 1: willing to run again and stand up to everything he
Speaker 1: stood up to and to fight those battles. And then
Speaker 1: you come back to that moment, I still believe was
Speaker 1: divinely inspired. I do believe it was divine providence that
Speaker 1: he just happened to turn his head that way at
Speaker 1: that particular millisecond, saving his own life and saving America
Speaker 1: from just unimaginable heartbreaking and turmoil. And so then the
Speaker 1: ability of him to just come off the canvas bleeding
Speaker 1: like that on this hot stage in Philadelphia. You've just
Speaker 1: been I mean, the bullets have remembered that the bullet
Speaker 1: that got him first, right, but then there are multiple
Speaker 1: other shots after that, and to be able to just
Speaker 1: jump to his feet with the fight fight fight, I mean,
Speaker 1: it has positioned him now as by far the most
Speaker 1: credible leader in the world. And that's why my own hunch,
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe someday we'll find out the confirming
Speaker 1: facts is that moving the inauguration indoors on Monday is
Speaker 1: for security reasons. I think that that really is by
Speaker 1: far the most likely explanation, because it's sure as heck,
Speaker 1: isn't the weather. I mean that the weather forecast right now,
Speaker 1: at least the publicly available ones, nowhere near cold enough
Speaker 1: in DC to be canceling the inauguration for cold.
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that, Ryan, I mean so I do.
Speaker 2: To me, it's got to be.
Speaker 1: A security concern, and it makes perfect sense it would be.
Speaker 1: He is not only is he the most powerful person
Speaker 1: in the world already, he has a credibility. He has
Speaker 1: a popularity across the globe right now because of everything
Speaker 1: he overcame. And isn't that one of the beautiful, sweet,
Speaker 1: poetic ironies is that all of this, all of this
Speaker 1: garbage that the left threw at him, abusing our legal
Speaker 1: process to bring these politically motivated claims, the two different
Speaker 1: assassination attempts, the incredibly courageous way he handled Butler, but
Speaker 1: all of these negatives thrown at him, including twice trying
Speaker 1: to take his life, have now only made him exponentially
Speaker 1: more popular worldwide as he takes office. So it makes
Speaker 1: perfect sense to me, especially since we already know that
Speaker 1: it's been confirmed that around is trying to kill him,
Speaker 1: that there are probably multiple states trying to kill him
Speaker 1: right now, multiple states trying to kill him. Because you
Speaker 1: think of the evil states around the world, you really
Speaker 1: think it. I understand, though, they'll do the smiling thing,
Speaker 1: and they'll do some of them will do the fake
Speaker 1: diplomatic stuff. But evil is evil, and you look at
Speaker 1: the things these evil dick tators have done in their nations,
Speaker 1: and you look at the way they casually torture and
Speaker 1: murder and rape and kill and pillage. Do you think
Speaker 1: evil's just going to sit back and say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: the American people said, Donald Trump gets three hundred and
Speaker 1: twelve electoral votes, so so yeah, we just have to
Speaker 1: get our tails kicked now. No, No, it's a iron's
Speaker 1: going to try to continue to try to take them out,
Speaker 1: et cetera. So it would not surprise me at all
Speaker 1: if if it's being moved indoors for security reasons. Bottom
Speaker 1: line is I trust Trump. I Trump trust his team
Speaker 1: right now, and you look at how flawlessly they've performed
Speaker 1: since election day, it would be a logical not to
Speaker 1: trust them. Texter says Dan. The crowds would be there,
Speaker 1: but I'm watching since I'm off on MLK. I wish
Speaker 1: I could be there, but can't wait for this administration. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then as you hunker down, and I sure hope
Speaker 1: you get the chance to. I know you may not.
Speaker 1: You may have work stuff for other family commitment stuff
Speaker 1: that doesn't let you do that. But some of the
Speaker 1: gentle forecast, and I think it's starting to trend a.
Speaker 2: Little bit better. Right, So it'll be.
Speaker 1: Nine tonight is a low, but then four below tomorrow,
Speaker 1: three below Sunday. I'm talking larger metro area ten below
Speaker 1: on Monday, and then it warms back up on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: but still really really cool. So I do hope you
Speaker 1: have the luxury of being able to just stay home
Speaker 1: on Monday, gather around the TV and just watch this
Speaker 1: history unfold. Now that it's indoors, I wonder if that's
Speaker 1: going to be a small space. The rotunda, right, Ryan,
Speaker 1: I assume is where they're going to do it.
Speaker 3: The Capitol Rotunda where you see state funerals for deceased
Speaker 3: presidents will be where Donald Trump has sworn in and
Speaker 3: jd Vance there. I can only imagine they can fit
Speaker 3: on one hundred in there, maybe, my lord, something like that.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it when when Joe was working
Speaker 1: in the Senate, he had the privilege working for Cory
Speaker 1: Gardner and then then as a staffer for Pat Toomey.
Speaker 2: He was able to get us in one.
Speaker 1: Day when it was just us, it was just the
Speaker 1: family in the rotunda, and it was it was one
Speaker 1: of the coolest things ever.
Speaker 2: And Ryan, it's incredibly small.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could one hundred feet people fit. I mean
Speaker 3: I would get in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not it is really small.
Speaker 3: So then you got twenty thousand at the arena, which
Speaker 3: is where I'm going to be dropped off, And that
Speaker 3: would work, okay if I get in, But you got
Speaker 3: to figure dan twenty thousand in that arena, how many
Speaker 3: tens of thousands are going to be there, would you say,
Speaker 3: probably like one hundred thousand maybe, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And here's another thing that causes me to think it
Speaker 1: might be a security thing. I mean, I think you
Speaker 1: would have the option probably of using the football stadium,
Speaker 1: you know, if you wanted folks who were going to
Speaker 1: come gather in the football stadium, because then there'd be
Speaker 1: a better chance to stay warm, you'd have the indoor bathrooms,
Speaker 1: you'd have this, this, that that. But if it is
Speaker 1: a security thing, you know, then then you're creating another target.
Speaker 1: I think it's much easier to just protect an arena
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: Well, what we were told so far is that there
Speaker 3: will be a staging area for the twenty thousand that
Speaker 3: get in to Capitol One Arena, and that Trump and
Speaker 3: Vans will be sworn in in the Capital Rottenda and
Speaker 3: then they will make their way after being sworn in
Speaker 3: to the arena to address the crowd assembled there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's why it's in my mind, it
Speaker 1: would seem like it has to be a security thing,
Speaker 1: because if you're Donald Trump and you have worked this
Speaker 1: hard and been this courageous and overcome so much, you
Speaker 1: want that moment of walking from the Capitol, standing on
Speaker 1: that perch, looking down the.
Speaker 2: Mall, looking at everybody up on the stage.
Speaker 1: As you get to walk down those steps and deliver
Speaker 1: your inaugural dress. You want that moment of, you know,
Speaker 1: coming down Pennsylvania Avenue in that parade. I mean you
Speaker 1: you want that moment. And that's why I mean the weather, No,
Speaker 1: it's just not going to be cold enough for it
Speaker 1: to be the weather. In my opinion, it's it's got
Speaker 1: to be I would think a security thing. Man, Which
Speaker 1: brings me back to can you give me just one
Speaker 1: small diversion here, because it's it's one of the top
Speaker 1: three most striking moments in my life, right after well,
Speaker 1: top four being on the altar, getting married, the both
Speaker 1: birth of our two children. But Joe and I were
Speaker 1: staying at the Trump Hotel the week before Inauguration Day
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and so we got a room together.
Speaker 1: We're watching playoff football. We got a big piece of
Speaker 1: beef at the Great restaurant there, and it was it
Speaker 1: was the year before that my dad had died in January.
Speaker 1: So we're in the room and we have the two
Speaker 1: beds in there, and he's in the one closest to
Speaker 1: the window, and I'm in the other one. And it's
Speaker 1: about two in the morning or so, and I wake
Speaker 1: up and Joe's standing over toured there was a little
Speaker 1: nook with a desk and everything. He's standing next to
Speaker 1: the desk, and I say, hey, Bob, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: It's like two in the morning. And then I look
Speaker 1: over and Joe is in his bed. So there's someone
Speaker 1: standing in the room next to the desk. Two in
Speaker 1: the morning. Wow. And I look over there. The person's
Speaker 1: right there. I look over there and it's my dad.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is standing there and he looks to
Speaker 1: be probably about the age when I was born. He
Speaker 1: looks to be late twenties. I was a college basketball player.
Speaker 1: He was standing there and that. Wow, it's just every
Speaker 1: time I think about it, yeah, just amazing. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe it or not. That was in the Trump hotel.
Speaker 1: And then we other wild thing is we wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning and we hear marching bands and everything else.
Speaker 1: They're practicing. They're practicing the parade because the inauguration is
Speaker 1: a week away, so they have they have security out there.
Speaker 1: They have not all the bands and everything. Some of
Speaker 1: them come in during the week, but they have a
Speaker 1: whole lot of the normal parade being rehearsed outside the window.
Speaker 3: Was your father a fan of Donald Trump? Before you pass?
Speaker 3: Do you know that? You?
Speaker 4: Are you aware of that?
Speaker 1: You know? My dad to keep peace in the family.
Speaker 1: My dad never commented on politics. I mean only once,
Speaker 1: well twice. I can remember as a little kid watching
Speaker 1: the sixty eight Republican convention. We were watching on TV,
Speaker 1: and he looked at it and he was disgusted and
Speaker 1: he said, look, there's not a single black face there.
Speaker 1: Everybody's white. And that really bothered him, and it bothered
Speaker 1: me too. And it wasn't until obviously I got involved
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party that I realized that the Republican
Speaker 1: Party is as they're more committed to civil rights than
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is. And at this point in time,
Speaker 1: ryan Republican Party is infinitely, exponentially more committed to civil
Speaker 1: rights for people of color than the Democratic Party is.
Speaker 1: But at that time, yeah, I remember that comment, and
Speaker 1: then what else do I remember? There was something else?
Speaker 1: But he was such an enormously positive guy. Six three
Speaker 1: two forty college basketball player, Chicago police officer. Never heard
Speaker 1: him swear once. Never heard him swear once, but disciplunder
Speaker 1: Yeah he was that. But what a great guy. Hey
Speaker 1: back in a flash here on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast once again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will have made it.
Speaker 1: Think about what we made it through a presidency without
Speaker 1: a president, I mean literally not mentally competent.
Speaker 2: But the world didn't make it through that. And you
Speaker 2: look at just the.
Speaker 1: World on fire and it can all be traced back
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden and the left. But Monday at noon
Speaker 1: we continue the progress Trump's already made, which brings us
Speaker 1: back to the issue of why do you think they're
Speaker 1: moving the inauguration indoors. I don't buy for a second
Speaker 1: that's weather. It's just not going to be the cold.
Speaker 1: It's going to be high of twenty to twenty five
Speaker 1: and low of about fifteen or so. Just don't buy
Speaker 1: the weather. I think it's security. I think there's probably
Speaker 1: a security concern and that's why they're doing it. Dan,
Speaker 1: regardless as a text or the reason to put the
Speaker 1: ceremony inside. I was worried about being in outdoors was
Speaker 1: too easy for an assassin. I'm very happy it will
Speaker 1: be in a safe location. Listen, I've been saying it
Speaker 1: on the show for a long time. Now. You look
Speaker 1: at how incredibly effective he's been from mary Lago and
Speaker 1: I understand he's made a couple of trips, and I
Speaker 1: get that a president needs.
Speaker 2: To bot but he is being so effective. I would
Speaker 2: be very very happy.
Speaker 1: I'd be happy if he just stayed at mar Lago
Speaker 1: and just didn't move around much, because I'm very very
Speaker 1: concerned about his safety, or stayed largely in DC and
Speaker 1: didn't move around much. He knows what to do, he
Speaker 1: knows how to get it done other than the overseas stuff.
Speaker 2: Doesn't have to travel that much to be successful.
Speaker 1: He's already, you know, won over enough of the American people,
Speaker 1: and he has a ton of authority and political capital
Speaker 1: and popularity here and abroad going in. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: we've got to bend over backwards to protect him and
Speaker 1: let him now continue to do his thing. Governor Polis
Speaker 1: just announcing, just announcing that the Colorado flag will be
Speaker 1: raised on Inauguration Day. It's been at half staff obviously
Speaker 1: for the passing of Jimmy Carter. President Carter. It will
Speaker 1: be raised on Inauguration Day. And then put back down
Speaker 1: to half staff for the Carter Memorial. But why wait
Speaker 1: till five point thirty on a Friday before the inauguration? Right?
Speaker 1: Why do you think he waited this long to apparently
Speaker 1: decide that or at least announce it. And yes, it
Speaker 1: will be raised as it obviously should be. So I
Speaker 1: want to get to some more of these texts. But
Speaker 1: there's some sound I've got to play for you as well.
Speaker 1: Christy Nome, Will you end the use of the CBP.
Speaker 6: Want app Yes, Senator, I confirmed, and I have the
Speaker 6: opportunity to be secretary. On day one, CBP one will
Speaker 6: be shut down. There's data and information in there that
Speaker 6: we will preserve so that we can ensure we know
Speaker 6: who's coming into this country and who's already here that
Speaker 6: we need to go find. But also we make sure
Speaker 6: that there's another program CCH ANDV which
