Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Well, there's one
Speaker 1: guy who's clearly doing that, and that's President Donald J. Trump,
Speaker 1: just finishing I think the most successful first one hundred
Speaker 1: days of any president in modern American history. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any question about that. And his massive accomplishment
Speaker 1: at the border, which pays concrete dividends all across America
Speaker 1: each and every day. Yeah, that is one of the
Speaker 1: greatest accomplishments ever. But he's celebrating the first hundred at
Speaker 1: a rally in Michigan. Oh, let's go there right now, Ryan,
Speaker 1: if we can. Scott Jennings is speaking. That's interesting.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it means he's going to be a candidate.
Speaker 3: We were flying in here.
Speaker 4: Today and I said, look at these farms.
Speaker 3: I gotta get a farm in Michigan, because.
Speaker 4: When you own as many libs as I do, you
Speaker 4: gotta put a place to put them all.
Speaker 2: Thank you all very much, Thank you, good guy, and I.
Speaker 4: Also want to thank the rest of the Michigan Republican
Speaker 4: delegation for all the work they do in Congress and
Speaker 4: who are back in Washington working on the big Beautiful Bill,
Speaker 4: the Big We're gonna name it, I think, the Big
Speaker 4: Beautiful Bill. In one hundred days, I've taken more than
Speaker 4: one thousand executive actions, and I could recite our accomplishments.
Speaker 5: All night long.
Speaker 3: And by the way, did you just see what I did?
Speaker 5: Straws?
Speaker 4: I wiped out the paper straw A little.
Speaker 5: Pay he's a little your sink.
Speaker 3: Often the little things are Try building a.
Speaker 4: New sink and no water comes out, your shower heads,
Speaker 4: your toilets, the whole thing.
Speaker 5: It's a disaster.
Speaker 4: We now have it so you can have as much
Speaker 4: water as you want, because it's not.
Speaker 5: An environmental problem.
Speaker 4: You have areas they can't get rid of their water,
Speaker 4: and yet they have.
Speaker 5: They put me stricters on them.
Speaker 4: You used to take them off, but now you can't
Speaker 4: because they're welded in.
Speaker 5: But now you don't have to worry about.
Speaker 4: That because we've opened up your falls and we've opened
Speaker 4: up especially me. I don't like taking a shower where
Speaker 4: the water goes drip, drip, drip onto my luxuriant hair.
Speaker 5: I need a lot of water. I need everything I
Speaker 5: can get. I don't need to be under your shower.
Speaker 4: Trying to get water to come out of that damn thing.
Speaker 4: So we've opened up the shower heads, the faucets, the toilets,
Speaker 4: the washing machines that don't give you water. All of
Speaker 4: that stuff has been opened up, and we're giving you
Speaker 4: gas ovens, gas stoves. If you'd like no more electric,
Speaker 4: you can have electric. If you want to have a
Speaker 4: lot of friends, they like gas better. You're supposed to
Speaker 4: sell your gas stove or get it.
Speaker 5: I don't know who do you sell them to?
Speaker 4: Maybe another country, because we're the only country that would.
Speaker 5: Be so stupid to that. But the stoves.
Speaker 4: Now you can have gas stoves all you want.
Speaker 5: Put four of them in your kitchen.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get the headline on Fox right now is
Speaker 1: still coming.
Speaker 5: I see with shows angry. Get rid of your guest stove.
Speaker 5: You have to go to electric. There's something they have
Speaker 5: with electric that's amazing. And by the way, Elon makes
Speaker 5: a great car. But not everybody's going to lie.
Speaker 2: Of carrying President Trump live. He's one of his first
Speaker 2: one other day's speech Russ.
Speaker 5: Again, maybe he's the under the thumb of Elon.
Speaker 4: Do you think Elon was happy about ending the all
Speaker 4: electric mandate.
Speaker 5: I don't think he was too happy.
Speaker 4: But he's a great guy, you know, honestly, never said
Speaker 4: a thing he says, let.
Speaker 5: Me just compete fairly. By the way, it's not fair
Speaker 5: what they've done to him too. That is a disgrace.
Speaker 5: That is a distress.
Speaker 4: But he's a great guy, and he's really helped us.
Speaker 4: And you know, they've saved one hundred and fifty billion.
Speaker 5: Dollars on waste, fraud and abuse.
Speaker 3: Doze, so we want to thank him.
Speaker 5: He's an incredible guy.
Speaker 4: Anybody that can land a rocket ship. I saw this
Speaker 4: thing coming and said, you got to be kidding. This
Speaker 4: rocket's coming, and you know most of them go right
Speaker 4: into the ocean, but he lands it. I was on
Speaker 4: the phone risks having fun, and I saw this thing
Speaker 4: coming and it's spinning out of control, coming down.
Speaker 5: It's all burning, it's on fire, looks like hell.
Speaker 4: I said, well, just another rocket going into the ocean.
Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden you.
Speaker 4: See the fire pouring out of the engines and it
Speaker 4: starts to slow up, slow, Then it's strange. Then it
Speaker 4: starts moving over a little bit. Then I say, oh no,
Speaker 4: it's hitting the gandry. It's gonna hit through. And the
Speaker 4: engines go strange, and he gets hugged like you hug
Speaker 4: your beautiful little baby, rud And I said.
Speaker 5: Who the hell did that?
Speaker 4: It was?
Speaker 6: He live.
Speaker 2: He's having a great time. It must be so much
Speaker 2: more fun now that he's won that second time.
Speaker 5: He told me, you.
Speaker 4: Don't have a space program if you have to drop.
Speaker 5: A billion dollar machine into.
Speaker 3: The water every time you fly, you have to save
Speaker 3: those suckers.
Speaker 5: So he does.
Speaker 4: He's he's an amazing guy, and he's a great American,
Speaker 4: and he loves our country, loves you. And uh he's paid,
Speaker 4: he's paid a big.
Speaker 5: Rice to help. But I have a feeling it's going
Speaker 5: to end up being good for him. Actually, I really do.
Speaker 5: I established the.
Speaker 4: New Presidential Commission to Make America Healthy Again, shared by
Speaker 4: our new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F.
Speaker 5: Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 4: He's doing a good job, doctor Oz, right, he's doing
Speaker 4: a good job. And he's a little bit different, But
Speaker 4: I want to tell you he's a great guy. He's
Speaker 4: a great guy and he loves his country. Just last
Speaker 4: week Bobby announced that we're banning eight major artificial dives
Speaker 4: from our food supply.
Speaker 5: Sounds good for me.
Speaker 2: It sounds good to me to run, you know.
Speaker 4: And on day one, I created that very right, right now,
Speaker 4: very successful Department of Government Efficiency headed by Elon.
Speaker 5: That was a big thing doing that.
Speaker 4: I mean, the numbers are really incredible, doge.
Speaker 5: So it was a very big thing.
Speaker 4: We terminated the left wing money laundering scam.
Speaker 5: Known as USAID. How about the money that was going on?
Speaker 1: Turring President Trump Live first hundred day speech, you're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Kaplas show.
Speaker 5: Are giving individual people, Yeah, we'll.
Speaker 2: Pop back years. Great to see him in great spirits.
Speaker 1: He should be right because and I'd love your take
Speaker 1: on this, particularly if you disagree, but my goodness, I
Speaker 1: really do think it is by far the most successful
Speaker 1: first hundred days because it starts with it. As we
Speaker 1: all know, right, not every issue is created equal. It's
Speaker 1: not of equal importance, it's not of equal difficulty, it's
Speaker 1: not of equal benefit to the country if you succeed.
Speaker 1: And when you talk about that southern border, and remember
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett and Hick and Luper and Johnston and Biden
Speaker 1: and all of them told you, oh, no, no, that
Speaker 1: the border can't be controlled unless we have new legislation,
Speaker 1: and Trump's blocking that legislation. Trump proved them all to
Speaker 1: be liars. And I know, just because you're wrong doesn't
Speaker 1: mean you're a liar. But sometimes when you're wrong, you
Speaker 1: have been lying about it. I just believe these Democrats
Speaker 1: were flat out lying about it. They knew we didn't
Speaker 1: need any new legislation in order to protect America by
Speaker 1: controlling the border. They just wanted it wide open. And
Speaker 1: Trump went in and what did they have? Three folks
Speaker 1: released into America in the first hundred days of his
Speaker 1: presidency compared to how many millions with Biden's sell an
Speaker 1: enormous success. That is the furthest thing from symbolic, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are literally parents who will kiss their
Speaker 1: children good night tonight, children who would otherwise be under
Speaker 1: the ground, dead and buried if it wasn't for Trump
Speaker 1: closing the border. By closing the border, he has saved
Speaker 1: lots of lives, people who otherwise would have died via fentanyl.
Speaker 1: He saved women from being raped, He saved people from
Speaker 1: being killed on our roadways by people who shouldn't be here.
Speaker 1: He has done so much concrete good just by controlling
Speaker 1: the border, and he's done a lot more than that.
Speaker 1: That's why the enormity of that accomplishment and the importance
Speaker 1: to American safety and security. I don't know anybody could
Speaker 1: honestly give them less than an a for those first
Speaker 1: hundred days. But if somebody disagrees, would love to hear
Speaker 1: from them. Let's get to some of our Texters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see that one's too long. Dan, speaking of Springs Ray,
Speaker 1: check out SB twenty five, two seventy six passing today.
Speaker 1: My goodness, it talk about the double middle finger to
Speaker 1: the people of Colorado from the Democrats. I mean, in
Speaker 1: the midst of all this, when Polis and other Dems claim,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, they support Trump getting rid of people here
Speaker 1: illegally committing other crimes, that Democrats are going out of
Speaker 1: their way, you think police will sign it right to
Speaker 1: pass this bill that is just a flat out It's
Speaker 1: not just an invitation to folks to come here illegally,
Speaker 1: it is begging them to come here illegally. This Senate
Speaker 1: Bill two seven six, This thing says to people you
Speaker 1: can come here tomorrow and you don't even have to
Speaker 1: declare that you intend to stay here, and you can
Speaker 1: get a driver's license. You can come here tomorrow, not
Speaker 1: even declare that you intend to stay, and you can
Speaker 1: get in state tuition. They are begging people to come
Speaker 1: here illgally. Why do you think they're doing that? And
Speaker 1: I don't mean that rhetorically. I'd love to get your take.
Speaker 1: Why do you think they're doing that? The obvious answer
Speaker 1: is right, they view these folks coming here illegally as
Speaker 1: their voters. I mean, remember, it's Michael Bannerdho's pushing a
Speaker 1: bill that would make it illegal for ICE to detain
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants at a polling place. So they're not even
Speaker 1: trying to hide it anymore. And this is the same bill.
Speaker 1: I'll double check, but I've read it before. This is
Speaker 1: the same bill I believe that says that when an
Speaker 1: idea is required for certain things, it can be expired
Speaker 1: nine years and three hundred and sixty four days and
Speaker 1: still be considered valid. Now, why do you think Colorado
Speaker 1: Democrats are going out of their way to do that?
Speaker 2: You're on the Dankaplas Show.
Speaker 7: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2: I walk away with more than anything.
Speaker 8: Despite his low approval ratings, He's still more popular than
Speaker 8: the Democrats. So it's really the ultimate indictment against the
Speaker 8: Democratic Party because again, despite the noise that he has made,
Speaker 8: and despite unfavorably he's looked upon, the Democrats still can't
Speaker 8: beat them, because you still have nobody to beat him.
Speaker 2: Stephen A.
Speaker 1: Smith, And don't believe those low approval ratings for a second.
Speaker 1: These are from the same posters who told you he
Speaker 1: was going to lose the election, right, And Trump's celebrating
Speaker 1: the first one hundred days I think the best of
Speaker 1: any president modern American history, starting with in a lot
Speaker 1: of accomplishments, but starting with securing the border and all
Speaker 1: the good and great that comes with that. Now, let's
Speaker 1: go to the President live. He's bout an hour and
Speaker 1: twenty minutes into this. Now he's in Michigan. He was
Speaker 1: greeted with the big warm hug by Gretchen Whitmer on
Speaker 1: the runway.
Speaker 4: So yeah, our country has great spirit against a campaign
Speaker 4: style executive order to begin the process of eliminating the
Speaker 4: federal Department of Education.
Speaker 5: And send education back to Michigan.
Speaker 4: We're going to send it back to our states, right,
Speaker 4: We're going to send it back to our states to run.
Speaker 5: I mean, how to how bad can we do?
Speaker 3: Where like at last place they do badly, you're going
Speaker 3: to do better.
Speaker 5: They're going to do great though. I think they're going
Speaker 5: to do great. I'm very proud of it.
Speaker 4: Lenda McMahon, by the way, is doing a phenomenal job.
Speaker 5: Making English these social language looks.
Speaker 2: June, do you think he's working on kid uide?
Speaker 4: I ordered the release of all remaining files related to
Speaker 4: the assassinations of Presidents John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and
Speaker 4: Martin Luther King Junior.
Speaker 5: And they're all out there. And I made myself very.
Speaker 4: Unpopular in Mexico by renaming the Gulf of Mexico the
Speaker 4: Gulf of About, which.
Speaker 2: It really should.
Speaker 4: We are restoring the name of a great president, William McKinley,
Speaker 4: to Mount McKinley in Alaska.
Speaker 5: It's a very good president. And you Italians are going to.
Speaker 4: Love me because just yesterday I brought back Columbus Day
Speaker 4: in America, especially for Italian Americans who were so badly
Speaker 4: treated by its removal. I also signed in order to
Speaker 4: require proof of citizenship to vote in American electus.
Speaker 5: That was easy.
Speaker 2: It's got to be a lot of fun for them.
Speaker 5: Mary to think of it.
Speaker 4: Why would they want no voter ID because they want
Speaker 4: to cheat?
Speaker 5: Why would they want to have no proof of citizenship?
Speaker 3: We don't want it. We trust everybody. Now they want
Speaker 3: to cheat, that's all they want to do.
Speaker 5: Think of that. No voter idea in Michigan.
Speaker 4: You must never allow ranked choice voting to be here never.
Speaker 4: We've done this all in fourteen weeks.
Speaker 5: That's one Remember that one hundred days. We've done all
Speaker 5: of the things that I named, and a lot more,
Speaker 5: and we're counting.
Speaker 4: And it's going to be it's going to be better
Speaker 4: when you see the results of some of the things.
Speaker 5: That we're doing. In the coming weeks and months.
Speaker 4: We will pass the largest tax cuts in American history,
Speaker 4: and that will include no tax on tips, no tax
Speaker 4: on social security, no tax on overtime.
Speaker 5: It's called the One.
Speaker 4: Big, Beautiful Bill, and it will be the biggest bill
Speaker 4: ever passed in our country's history. It will include the
Speaker 4: biggest tax cuts, regulation cuts, military supremacy, and just about
Speaker 4: everything else. We will cut more than one trillion dollars
Speaker 4: and wasteful and unnecessary spending.
Speaker 3: And in the next fiscal year it'll all be done.
Speaker 4: We're going to have something that you won't even believe.
Speaker 4: We will end inflation, slash prices. We've already ended inflation,
Speaker 4: raise wages, and give you the greatest economy and the
Speaker 4: history of the world.
Speaker 5: That's already happened.
Speaker 4: With our tax bill, the average families take home pay
Speaker 4: will be at least five thousand dollars more than it
Speaker 4: was just a couple of months ago. We will always
Speaker 4: protect Medicare and Social Security for our great seniors with
Speaker 4: no cuts, and we will defend Medicaid for those great
Speaker 4: people that are in need. House Republicans are working to
Speaker 4: invest more money in medicaid than we spend today.
Speaker 5: The only thing we're.
Speaker 4: Going to cut is the corruption and the crooks that
Speaker 4: take advantage.
Speaker 7: Of on a roll.
Speaker 2: We'll have to back out right now. So your approach briefs.
Speaker 1: But you know, there are so many reasons why I
Speaker 1: think he deserves to say plus.
Speaker 2: And obviously it.
Speaker 1: Starts with controlling the southern border, but beyond that, so
Speaker 1: many things. All these presidents, right from both parties, they
Speaker 1: always talk about doing the campaign, cutting out waste abuse, etc.
Speaker 5: He's actually doing it.
Speaker 2: I mean not all of it, nobody can get all.
Speaker 1: Of it, but he's actually he's willing to suffer the
Speaker 1: pain it has to be suffered to actually go do it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: There's a political upside, of course, but there's also pain involved, right,
Speaker 1: because you're going to be cutting some things that you know,
Speaker 1: some prominent Republican senators, congress people, et cetera. You know,
Speaker 1: are very supportive of important to their home states or whatever.
Speaker 1: But as he's proven with the tariffs, he is willing
Speaker 1: to do some really hard stuff with with political downside,
Speaker 1: because he believes it's going to be best for America
Speaker 1: long term. And you got to respect that, even if
Speaker 1: you don't like him, and obviously I think he's done
Speaker 1: historically great things, but you still have to respect that
Speaker 1: because that's what real leaders do, right.
Speaker 2: Those are the people who've actually changed.
Speaker 1: America long term for the better, and there are very
Speaker 1: very few of them out there.
Speaker 2: Let's get to some text. We'll get to calls as well.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five, d
Speaker 1: an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: Then we'll duck back into this celebration in Michigan Ran.
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound to me like he's going to wrap
Speaker 1: up any times soon. So we'll keep ducking in and
Speaker 1: out because it is great to see him enjoying himself
Speaker 1: there the Holy cal Thank you for all these texts,
Speaker 1: but some are just too long, Dan, How can a
Speaker 1: child we have a number of these texts. How can
Speaker 1: a child consent to becoming?
Speaker 6: This?
Speaker 1: And that is we talk about, to know the insidious
Speaker 1: efforts by the Colorado Democrats, including House Built thirteen twelve,
Speaker 1: you know, to now actually equate parents with child abusers
Speaker 1: and a big.
Speaker 2: Step toward losing custody. They if they tell.
Speaker 1: Their boy, no, you're really a boy, and push back
Speaker 1: against leftist efforts to transom. So Deborah Flora joined us
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, and I think so many great
Speaker 1: people have fought back so well on that Ryan, I
Speaker 1: hope it is dead at this point.
Speaker 2: You know, you cannot.
Speaker 1: Trust these Colorado Democrats. I'm talking about elected officials, right,
Speaker 1: the politicos. You just can't trust them. And so they
Speaker 1: may be trying to sneak it back in at the
Speaker 1: very end because they know there's overwhelming opposition in Colorado today.
Speaker 2: Though you think Polus would sign it.
Speaker 7: That is a difficult question.
Speaker 9: The step before that, though, they're hearing it before the
Speaker 9: Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow. Dan and Representative Scott Bottom's joined
Speaker 9: me on my local program here. They're going to be
Speaker 9: out in front of the General Assembly the state Capitol
Speaker 9: holding a press conference. He and Aaron Lee has been
Speaker 9: on this program many times, doing great and it just
Speaker 9: to me it comes down to this, a senator like
Speaker 9: I think he's yours as well. Jeff Bridge is ostensibly
Speaker 9: a moderate. I know well he sells it with his
Speaker 9: little friendship with Barb Kirkmeyer. But bottom line, is he
Speaker 9: going to feel more political pain by voting against it
Speaker 9: or for it?
Speaker 5: Well, and.
Speaker 1: If Polis has made it clear he's not going to
Speaker 1: sign it, do you think that makes it more or
Speaker 1: less likely to pass? Ice think about that. We want
Speaker 1: to talk about that on the other side as well.
Speaker 1: Three or three seOne, three eight, two, five, five, text
Speaker 1: D and five seventh through nine, and well, duck back
Speaker 1: into the President Live in Michigan.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 7: You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 10: This is directly tied in with the bill that the
Speaker 10: House is passing that just went into the Senate last night.
Speaker 10: They've been delaying this because they're scared of the the
Speaker 10: population out here that is completely against this. And basically,
Speaker 10: this bill is going to take children away from parents.
Speaker 10: It is now going to be illegal to do anything
Speaker 10: but affirm a transgender ideology with your children.
Speaker 2: It is so, so so sick.
Speaker 1: That is Scott bottom Son, Ryan Shuling's great show, Ryan
Speaker 1: is wonderful show Aris two to four Mountain Time in
Speaker 1: the six thirty kitch are done six thirty kitch w
Speaker 1: the Denver Market just before this show each day. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it is just one of the most insidious bills we've
Speaker 1: seen in years. And so yeah, apparently it's going to
Speaker 1: be a Senate committee tomorrow and we'll continue to keep
Speaker 1: an eye on it. There's been a lot of great
Speaker 1: people around the state fighting it and I just cannot
Speaker 1: even imagine Polis signing this thing, which means he'd probably
Speaker 1: sign it, right, but I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2: That at this point.
Speaker 1: You have to believe, right, Ryan, that that police has
Speaker 1: got understand that that despite this this bubble, that that
Speaker 1: these all these Colorado Democrats live in right because most
Speaker 1: of the media won't take him on. He's got to
Speaker 1: understand he's not going to be president. He's got to
Speaker 1: understand he's not going to be vice president. So maybe
Speaker 1: he does sign. Maybe he just realizes that, hey, that
Speaker 1: that whole strategy, Yeah, it didn't quite work out. And
Speaker 1: so if this is going to be a ceiling, but
Speaker 1: he's not just going to go into private life, right,
Speaker 1: So if he's going to give up on the presidential thing,
Speaker 1: then he's gonna he's going to try to move into
Speaker 1: a US Senate seat.
Speaker 2: But whatever it is, only the.
Speaker 1: Most wicked, hardcorese on the left in Colorado could support
Speaker 1: this monstrosity of a bill, you know, that would that
Speaker 1: would say what, It would equate you to a child
Speaker 1: abuser if you try to save your child from being
Speaker 1: tranced by activists out there, whether they're activist teachers or whatever.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, if if you quote misgender a child,
Speaker 1: which ironically means refer to them by their proper gender,
Speaker 1: that then all of the sudden, you're engraved danger of
Speaker 1: losing custody being equated to a child abuser. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: doesn't get much worse than that, but but that is
Speaker 1: that's who owns and operates the Democratic Party in Colorado.
Speaker 7: And especially because there are no consequences.
Speaker 9: Dan, this is what I was getting to, And I
Speaker 9: know it sounds purely cynical, but that's what I believe
Speaker 9: that it is. It's a pure cold political calculation that
Speaker 9: Jeff Bridge is a senator as Democrat right now is
Speaker 9: making of which direction am I going to catch more
Speaker 9: hell more heat for if I vote for this or
Speaker 9: if I vote against it.
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with the merits is the
Speaker 2: easiest vote in human history. It right be against it,
Speaker 2: the easiest vote human history.
Speaker 9: So but you know how much you know how much
Speaker 9: hassle a Jeff Bridges is going to get from his
Speaker 9: left flank if he votes against this.
Speaker 7: They'll never let up, They'll never relent.
Speaker 1: Who cares, right, because you have got to be so crazy,
Speaker 1: wild eyed far left to support this thing. But listen,
Speaker 1: I like Jeff personally. I run into him at social things.
Speaker 1: We have close friends who just love the guy. I
Speaker 1: think he's a political phony. And so this bill, I
Speaker 1: can't even say it'll be a true test because it's
Speaker 1: such an easy vote against it, right, So, I think
Speaker 1: what you get with people who are just playing politics
Speaker 1: is they pretend like it's an agonizing vote when they
Speaker 1: know it's an easy vote against it, and that's what
Speaker 1: they're eventually going to do. But hey, we'll find out together,
Speaker 1: right My brother Texter says, Dan, you can deliver Colorado
Speaker 1: back to the Republicans, picking out standing running mate as
Speaker 1: you're lieutenant governor and there is a pass. Thank you
Speaker 1: for the good positive vibes and my friend, but what
Speaker 1: I would suggest is that there is not one single
Speaker 1: individual in Colorado, an hour in Colorado history who could
Speaker 1: alone deliver Colorado back to the Republicans. I think the
Speaker 1: Republicans can win the governor's office this Demaran. I think
Speaker 1: they have a fighting chance to win that Hick and
Speaker 1: Looper Senate seat. But it would take a United GOP.
Speaker 1: That's the starting point. That's just the price of admission
Speaker 1: to the ring is Okay, you get a United GOP,
Speaker 1: then you get to crawl through the ropes and you
Speaker 1: get to get in and play David versus.
Speaker 2: Glyath and you know who won that one.
Speaker 1: But yeah, price of getting into the ring is there
Speaker 1: has to be a United GOP. So it be very
Speaker 1: interesting to see if that can be accomplished. Two three,
Speaker 1: seOne three eight two five five text d A N
Speaker 1: five seven seven three nine. We have so much cool
Speaker 1: sound today because the day started right. The day started
Speaker 1: with with Amazon saying that it was now going to
Speaker 1: add to its prices the cost of the terriffs that
Speaker 1: President Trump has put in place. And I think it
Speaker 1: took like one call from Trump to Bezos to put
Speaker 1: an end to that.
Speaker 5: Jeff Bezos was very nice, He was terrific. He solved
Speaker 5: the problem very quickly, and he did the right thing.
Speaker 5: And it's a good guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he did the smart thing too.
Speaker 1: I mean as a businessman, right, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: a precedent, it really is. Anybody had a better first
Speaker 1: hundred days than Trump has had? Brian, can you think
Speaker 1: of envy? I mean going back to the very beginning
Speaker 1: and listen, hey, Washington's in his own league, right, There's
Speaker 1: no question about that same thing with Lincoln. But has
Speaker 1: anybody had a better first hundred days?
Speaker 9: It would be difficult to quantify that because we didn't
Speaker 9: live in that kind of a news cycle even twenty
Speaker 9: years ago, with let's say George W. Bush that there
Speaker 9: was an expectation there would be deliverables one hundred days
Speaker 9: in but Trump one after the other, dan the executive orders,
Speaker 9: the precedents that he's setting with leading the way on
Speaker 9: protecting girls and women's sports. That was one of his
Speaker 9: first actions in office. I think if he can get
Speaker 9: this big, beautiful bill through, and it sounds like the
Speaker 9: House will do so by Memorial Day and that the
Speaker 9: Senate they're hoping does so by Independence Day somewhere in
Speaker 9: there in June, then that would be a massive victory
Speaker 9: for him. That would spike the football in these first
Speaker 9: hundred days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and my view of this is you're right about
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but he's already won. He's already won
Speaker 1: one of the largest, most landscape shifting successes of any
Speaker 1: American president in our lifetime. He's won the southern border.
Speaker 1: He's controlled the southern border, and you think of the
Speaker 1: enormous benefits, instant benefits to America. Right, Okay, is tariff
Speaker 1: play that's going to work?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: And it's not going to work because the tariffs are
Speaker 1: now going to be in place at these high levels for.
Speaker 2: Seven years and then take effect.
Speaker 1: No, it's going to work because he's going to force
Speaker 1: good deals and whether they're the best deals we were
Speaker 1: hoping for going to be a lot better off than
Speaker 1: where we started. So that's all going to work. But
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this victory has already been won at
Speaker 1: the southern border, and the immediate payoff, like each and
Speaker 1: every day, is enormous in terms of kids not dying
Speaker 1: from fetan al, others not dying from fenol. People still are,
Speaker 1: but more would be if he didn't have control over
Speaker 1: the border, and over time, you know, significantly fewer.
Speaker 2: Will be dying. But he has already won that massive victory.
Speaker 2: And if that's all.
Speaker 1: He ever accomplished in his turn, but as you say,
Speaker 1: he's done a lot more than that already, my goodness,
Speaker 1: just standing up for women and their safe spaces and
Speaker 1: their private spaces and women's sports and.
Speaker 2: All of that.
Speaker 1: And as a Catholic, you know, on Christian religious freedom,
Speaker 1: the way he has stood up for that in the
Speaker 1: executive orders that go into that bucket. So yeah, historically,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm missing somebody, but I can't think anybody is
Speaker 1: at a better first one hundred days.
Speaker 2: A lot of hot.
Speaker 1: Takes sound we want to get to, but I'll pop
Speaker 1: to the phones as well. Beautiful Loveland, Colorado is apparently
Speaker 1: home to ed you're on the Dame Kapitala show.
Speaker 6: Welcome, well, thank you, so I thank you for a
Speaker 6: great show and for your uh your your good uh
Speaker 6: legal opinions and other careful thinking on these subjects, especially
Speaker 6: the ones today. I would like you to uh tell
Speaker 6: me and and and all of your listeners. We're hearing
Speaker 6: so much about a breakout Garcia and all of his
Speaker 6: rights and uh uh no due process and everything like that.
Speaker 6: I'm like most people. We we want immigrants, we need immigrants.
Speaker 6: The only thing is we want them to come in legally,
Speaker 6: and we want them to come in according to law.
Speaker 6: And if they're in the country uh legally, Uh sure,
Speaker 6: I can understand how they've got it's for due process inters.
Speaker 6: But if they've broken the law coming in, what is
Speaker 6: there anything in the constitution that gives them rights to argue,
Speaker 6: to be able to go to court and everything. I
Speaker 6: think family right they have is to be escorted out
Speaker 6: of the country. If they've broken the law coming in,
Speaker 6: that's they're criminals right from the beginning.
Speaker 1: At what a fantastic question, Abrigo Garcia. Let's go straight
Speaker 1: to that, if we may, because here's the twist there.
Speaker 1: As you know, he received a ton of due process
Speaker 1: in this country and overwhelming evidence that he's MS thirteen,
Speaker 1: overwhelming evidence, and ironically that played into a court, one
Speaker 1: of the courts that hurt his deportation case, played into
Speaker 1: one of those courts saying, Okay, you can be deported,
Speaker 1: but you can't be deported back to El Salvador because
Speaker 1: that court found he had a legitimate concern that.
Speaker 2: He might be killed there. And so that is the
Speaker 2: twist in all of this.
Speaker 1: Legally tons of due process, but that one immigration court
Speaker 1: process that found that he could not be sent back
Speaker 1: to El Salvador. So and that I'll get to the
Speaker 1: rest of your great question after the break, but I
Speaker 1: just wanted to put a boat on.
Speaker 2: Garcia to start with. You know, he is.
Speaker 1: He is going to end up somewhere outside this country,
Speaker 1: and I think the administration will pick one of the
Speaker 1: least appealing places imaginable. But I don't think he's going
Speaker 1: to end up staying in our Salvador long term. I
Speaker 1: think that's how that's going to end, not with him
Speaker 1: living in America, with him being deported permanently. And believe me,
Speaker 1: they'll be following the ky and it's going to be
Speaker 1: somewhere unpleasant, but not El Salvador.
Speaker 2: I don't think he'll end up staying there. You're on
Speaker 2: the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 7: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Let's go back to Ed. A tremendous call.
Speaker 1: He was asking about the Abrago Garcia case and then
Speaker 1: much more beyond that, and for those who just joined us,
Speaker 1: I was pointing out my understanding of that case is that,
Speaker 1: as Ed was saying, yeah, Garcia has had a ton
Speaker 1: of due process, all indications to me are he's clearly
Speaker 1: MS thirteen should not be in this country, and he
Speaker 1: won't be in this country. I mean if, and it's
Speaker 1: hard to imagine this, if a Democrat wins in twenty eight,
Speaker 1: they'd probably welcome him back and throw a parade for him,
Speaker 1: right because they obviously want to attract as many folks
Speaker 1: here illegally as possible.
Speaker 2: But as long as Trump's.
Speaker 1: In power or another Republican, Garcia will not be back
Speaker 1: in I just don't think Ed that this is going
Speaker 1: to end with him in El Salvador. And the reason
Speaker 1: for that is because one of those immigration courts along
Speaker 1: the way had found that he should not be deported
Speaker 1: there because he had a legitimate fear for his life
Speaker 1: if he was returned. So I think that's how this
Speaker 1: thing's going to end, with him being shipped off to
Speaker 1: some other country but certainly not allowed back in the
Speaker 1: United States.
Speaker 6: Can I ask him the broader question?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 6: What about others? Uh? That My My main question is, Uh,
Speaker 6: when people come in illegally, they break the law coming in,
Speaker 6: no no vison, no prior approval or anything like that.
Speaker 6: Is there anything in our constitution that or any other
Speaker 6: laws that that say they have a right to do process? Uh?
Speaker 6: That would seem to me if they're they've broken the
Speaker 6: laws they're indicating they have, Uh, they're very willing to
Speaker 6: break other laws. Uh. In fact, that they've come in
Speaker 6: without any legal means what what what process do they
Speaker 6: have other than to be ushered back out?
Speaker 2: What a great question.
Speaker 1: And I don't claim to be the world's biggest expert
Speaker 1: in this area, but I'll give you my understanding. My
Speaker 1: understanding is that there are lots of due process rights
Speaker 1: that are apply to people here illegally, even though they
Speaker 1: are here illegally. So the starting point is that, yes,
Speaker 1: even though somebody is here illegally, there are still lots
Speaker 1: of legal protections that still apply to them, but they
Speaker 1: are more limited in this kind of situation. For example,
Speaker 1: from a due process standpoint, when it comes to an
Speaker 1: immigration process. And again I don't claim to be an
Speaker 1: immigration expert as an attorney, but yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to show art goes the argument to
Speaker 1: show that that wait a second, you really are here illegally,
Speaker 1: as opposed to being shipped off without an opportunity to
Speaker 1: show that, Hey, wait a second, I'm an American citizen.
Speaker 2: And I'm not claiming that that is happening.
Speaker 1: I'm not claiming the administration is supporting American citizens, but
Speaker 1: due process to the extent that you would have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to show, no, I am an American citizen if
Speaker 1: you happen to be, for example. So but yeah, now
Speaker 1: there are all sorts of legal protections that extend to
Speaker 1: folks here illegally.
Speaker 2: That that is the reality.
Speaker 6: Okay, well, thank you. I appreciate not only your legal advice,
Speaker 6: but your sound Christian wisdom and the way you apply
Speaker 6: it to key issues in our society. Thank you so much, man, Thank.
Speaker 1: Thank you, and thank you for those kind words that
Speaker 1: really do appreciate that. And yeah, so I know what's
Speaker 1: absolutely maddening and it should be, is the idea that, Okay,
Speaker 1: the Democrats just open up the border and bring in millions,
Speaker 1: you know, completely disregarding our laws, and then all of
Speaker 1: the sudden, the left believes there has to be individual
Speaker 1: hearings for each person before they can be deported. I
Speaker 1: know that is absolutely maddening. But we do have a
Speaker 1: system in place in America, you know, for deporting people
Speaker 1: and giving them their opportunity if they want to try
Speaker 1: to claim the way, no, I'm actually an American citizen.
Speaker 1: And then also you have folks have the opportunity to
Speaker 1: make an asylum claim. But yeah, and that's what Biden,
Speaker 1: with the support to various extents from the Michael Bennetts
Speaker 1: and John Hickenloopers and Mike Johnston's and Jared Poulis's of
Speaker 1: the world, that's what they inflicted on America is they
Speaker 1: knew that if they brought in all these millions and
Speaker 1: then embedded them into the country, right, just just put
Speaker 1: them out into the country, put them in different cities, states,
Speaker 1: et cetera, that it would take years and years and
Speaker 1: years for anybody to get rid of them, even if
Speaker 1: they had the will to move them all out of
Speaker 1: the country. That was the plan all along. And everybody
Speaker 1: I just mentioned on the left is part of it
Speaker 1: to one degree or another. And it's all about It's
Speaker 1: all about votes, right, It's all about getting Democrat votes.
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm Michael Bennett pushing a bill that
Speaker 1: says that that ICE can't even detain an illegal immigrant
Speaker 1: at a polling place, right, So they're not even being
Speaker 1: subtle about that. But you see the polling right, and
Speaker 1: the polling stays very very strong, very substantial majority. You know,
Speaker 1: waants the president to deport everybody here illegally, and he's
Speaker 1: not even trying to do.
Speaker 2: That right now.
Speaker 1: So that's why I think he's had such an enormously
Speaker 1: successful first hundred days. He secured the border, which makes
Speaker 1: America so much safer instantly, and it's that kind of
Speaker 1: enormous success that I think really shapes the grade.
Speaker 2: Ryan, tremendous job, Kelly, you as well.
Speaker 1: Please join us tomorrow on The Dan Kapla Show.
