Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen in this corner from the University of Colorado,
Speaker 1: thirty years in Lorraine, fighting for truth, justice and the
Speaker 1: American Way.
Speaker 2: Damn chaplas.
Speaker 3: Welcome Bad Catholic Show. I'm Christy Burton Brown in for
Speaker 3: Dan today. Great to be with you all, and at
Speaker 3: any time if you want to join the show, you
Speaker 3: can call in eight five five four zero five eight
Speaker 3: two five five. But we have some great things to
Speaker 3: cover today. I found this very long clip. We'll play
Speaker 3: a piece by piece about some big and terrible media
Speaker 3: hits that the media and the Democrats pushed over this year.
Speaker 3: Kind of looking back over the whole year of twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four, seeing some of the biggest mistakes they made,
Speaker 3: the wrong claims, anything from Biden, you know, not actually
Speaker 3: suffering from mental problems, that definitely competent to be president.
Speaker 3: Lots of things to cover, So we'll actually get into
Speaker 3: that play the top ten hits over the year from
Speaker 3: the liberal media and the Democrats. See what you think
Speaker 3: of it. And then also later on in the show,
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about not only what President elect
Speaker 3: Donald Trump says that he's going to do in his
Speaker 3: first hundred days and actually his first few hours in office,
Speaker 3: which we'll start in less than a month, but we'll
Speaker 3: also talk about the things we think he should do
Speaker 3: in his first hundred days in office. Would love to
Speaker 3: hear from any of you your thoughts on what you
Speaker 3: think President Trump should do. Now. Him and his team
Speaker 3: are saying that his main goal is to reverse what
Speaker 3: happened during the Biden era the last four years and
Speaker 3: take it all the way back to the end of
Speaker 3: his first term and almost reset and restart things from there. Now.
Speaker 3: While I think in many ways that is possible, in
Speaker 3: many ways, it's also not possible because some thing's happened
Speaker 3: over the last four years that are going to have
Speaker 3: to be dealt with, chief among them the border, and
Speaker 3: that is one of the issues that Donald Trump says
Speaker 3: he's going to deal with in the first few hours.
Speaker 3: And you know, I think that's what people like about him,
Speaker 3: is that he doesn't just talk about the typical first
Speaker 3: hundred days in office, but he says, you know what,
Speaker 3: let's actually get down to it and talk about what
Speaker 3: we're going to do in the first few hours. That's
Speaker 3: unique to him getting down to business right away. I
Speaker 3: really think there's no question about he's going to clean
Speaker 3: up who works in the federal government in order to
Speaker 3: free himself and his team to accomplish a lot of
Speaker 3: their major goals. We'll get into that a little bit
Speaker 3: later in the show. One of the new things coming
Speaker 3: out today in the news that homelessness is at a
Speaker 3: new high across the United States. Now, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of causes for that, immigration being one of them, people
Speaker 3: pouring across the border. We see that in Denver adding
Speaker 3: to the homelessness. But also it's different laws that have
Speaker 3: been passed around the nation. You know, some cities trying
Speaker 3: to do camping bands, but in other cities enacting policies
Speaker 3: that allow and encourage homelessness. We see an increase of
Speaker 3: the drug crisis in the United States that's increasing homelessness,
Speaker 3: and a whole lot of other causes as well. But
Speaker 3: one thing I want Tory Tier attached if you hadn't
Speaker 3: already heard about it around the election, was a unique
Speaker 3: way that Arizona decided it would deal with homelessness. Now,
Speaker 3: originally this idea thought up by the Goldwater Institute, which
Speaker 3: is a national nonprofit. They originally, I believe, wanted to
Speaker 3: try it in Phoenix and say, Okay, they're a huge
Speaker 3: hollless as problem in Phoenix, similar to what goes on
Speaker 3: in Denver. Let's pass this law locally and see what
Speaker 3: can happen. But what they actually ended up doing was
Speaker 3: creating an entire ballot measure that the people of Arizona
Speaker 3: voted on in November. They passed it. And how this
Speaker 3: is unique is it basically says, if you're a citizen
Speaker 3: of Arizona and you were affected by homelessness, the city
Speaker 3: you live in has a law like a camping ban
Speaker 3: or something similar that is supposed to stop homelessness and
Speaker 3: get people off of your property, off of affecting your
Speaker 3: property and the value of it. If the city doesn't
Speaker 3: do its job or the state doesn't do its job
Speaker 3: in enforcing the laws, you actually get a refund on
Speaker 3: your property taxes. So I think that's a fairly unique idea,
Speaker 3: And of course it makes sense that voters would say, absolutely,
Speaker 3: we're going to pass that, because I think a lot
Speaker 3: of voters across the nation, especially in very urban areas,
Speaker 3: are tired of being affected by the homelessness crisis and
Speaker 3: the government just sitting there and doing nothing about it.
Speaker 3: Aurora here in Colorado has its own unique solution to it,
Speaker 3: opening a campus for people who are homeless in partnership
Speaker 3: with nonprofit organizations like the Daniels Fund, And what they're
Speaker 3: doing is actually creating a way to get people out
Speaker 3: of homelesses. Is not just a place for them to stay,
Speaker 3: but a place, a campus that will also literally help
Speaker 3: them find a career, help them get education they need,
Speaker 3: help them, I think, connect them to rehab facilities if
Speaker 3: it's a drug and alcohol addiction problem that's causing the homelessness.
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of creative solutions across the nation,
Speaker 3: but clearly the nation is in need of many more
Speaker 3: versions of the Aurora plan. We'll see how well that
Speaker 3: plays out once Auror is actually able to get it
Speaker 3: off the ground, open it and let people into the campus.
Speaker 3: But also more versions of the Arizona answer, where we're saying, Okay,
Speaker 3: if government is refusing to do its duty and solve
Speaker 3: the homelessness, it's said that it will, and you elect
Speaker 3: people who are like, I know there's a camping band,
Speaker 3: don't want to enforce it too difficult, too hard. Well,
Speaker 3: then okay, you've got to give a refund to people
Speaker 3: for their property taxes because you're you're not giving up
Speaker 3: your end of the bargain. I think this is something
Speaker 3: people are looking for in government is it's a two
Speaker 3: way street. It's not just us paying taxes and fees
Speaker 3: to the government all the time, giving over our money
Speaker 3: and then what do we get for it. It's saying, hey,
Speaker 3: we're gonna puld our head to the bargain. The iris
Speaker 3: you go after you if you don't pay your taxes,
Speaker 3: you could end up in jail. What happens to the
Speaker 3: government if they don't uphold their end of the bargain.
Speaker 3: So unique solution from Arizona is saying, Okay, then you're
Speaker 3: gonna have to give people a refund on those property taxes.
Speaker 3: We will see how well it plays out. Just past
Speaker 3: in November, I'm Christy Burton Brown in for Dan Caplis
Speaker 3: to You can join the show anytime by calling in
Speaker 3: eight five five four zero five eight two five five,
Speaker 3: or you can text five seven seven three nine and
Speaker 3: start your text with Dan. I will get your message.
Speaker 3: Another thing that happened just today at the United States
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, President elect Donald Trump of filing his own
Speaker 3: brief in the TikTok Ban case I think there's conservatives
Speaker 3: on both sides of this issue, which is very interesting
Speaker 3: to me. Some who are more concerned, i would say,
Speaker 3: within national security issues and believe that TikTok should be banned.
Speaker 3: I think that's why it was passed on a bipartisan
Speaker 3: basis in the US Congress and the Senate. There is
Speaker 3: a ban on TikTok. That's a law, but the case
Speaker 3: is over whether or not this band should stand. Trump
Speaker 3: filed a brief saying no, you should put a pause
Speaker 3: on this law. There should not be a ban on TikTok.
Speaker 3: And I think you see conservatives on that side of
Speaker 3: the issue saying, hey, it's a free speech it's a
Speaker 3: free market issue. Let people participate in the company they
Speaker 3: want to. It's not like Americans are dumb, like we
Speaker 3: know if China can read our information, I mean, if
Speaker 3: people want that to happen with their videos and their
Speaker 3: personal information. It's a matter of free choice and free
Speaker 3: speech and the free market. It's a company people are
Speaker 3: choosing to engage with, you know. And I can understand
Speaker 3: that argument. I think on the other side, again, you
Speaker 3: have conservatives saying, no, this is China that we're dealing with.
Speaker 3: And the parent company of TikTok's a company called byte Dance,
Speaker 3: and it is actually a Chinese owned company. Now there's
Speaker 3: a lot of excuses out there saying, well, though you
Speaker 3: know the board members of TikTok, you know, none of
Speaker 3: them actually reside in China. One's based in Hong Kong,
Speaker 3: one's based in Singapore. I think the other three are
Speaker 3: US citizens, And so they try and like act like
Speaker 3: there's some distance between China and Byte Dance and therefore TikTok.
Speaker 3: But if you really research it yourself, there is a
Speaker 3: path to finding the information that China requires every media
Speaker 3: related company to give the government a foothold. That's actually
Speaker 3: a fact they have I think a one percent share
Speaker 3: in Byte Dance slash TikTok, And so there is actually
Speaker 3: an absolute path that everyone has to admit that actually
Speaker 3: exists for the Chinese government to have a path to
Speaker 3: see data and information in TikTok. Now, I mean, do
Speaker 3: you think I don't think that I don't think the
Speaker 3: Chinese government's going to be fully honest about what they're
Speaker 3: seeing in in user information, personal data that's gathered. But
Speaker 3: both sides have a point. I think if you're a conservative.
Speaker 3: I think it's a fair legitimate point to say national
Speaker 3: security is top of my list. Because this is a
Speaker 3: Chinese owned parent company, I'm not comfortable with them operating
Speaker 3: in the United States. There's other companies. If you want
Speaker 3: to use social media and communicate with people and share
Speaker 3: videos like use something else. Yes, there's a free market,
Speaker 3: create a new company that's American owned. I get the
Speaker 3: very fair position to take. That's actually a little bit
Speaker 3: more where I come down on the issue. But as
Speaker 3: a constitutional attorney, I really understand the arguments of people
Speaker 3: who say, no, this is a free speech, free market issue.
Speaker 3: Let people and Americans make their own decision. I think
Speaker 3: a problem with that position, which I think is the
Speaker 3: Trump position actually, But a lot of people who use
Speaker 3: TikTok are young teenagers who don't really know what they're
Speaker 3: encountering with national security issues. I'm not sure they are
Speaker 3: fully aware of what they're giving over to a Chinese company.
Speaker 3: So maybe there's a middle ground here where TikTok shouldn't
Speaker 3: necessarily be banned, but in order to operate in the
Speaker 3: United States, they should be required to form a US
Speaker 3: company that actually supervises and is the parent company. They
Speaker 3: may you know, in my opinion, there needs to be
Speaker 3: some distance between TikTok and the Chinese owned parent company
Speaker 3: that is dangerous to Americans and to our personal data.
Speaker 3: That's my opinion. If you have a thought on this,
Speaker 3: you can call in eight five five four zero five
Speaker 3: eight two five five or text your thoughts five seven
Speaker 3: seven three nine to Dan. I'm Christy Burton Brown and
Speaker 3: you're on the dan Kapla Show. You're back on the
Speaker 3: Dankpla Show. I'm Christy Burton Brown. Thanks for tuning in. Today.
Speaker 3: We've been talking about President Trump's brief that he filed
Speaker 3: to the United States Supreme Court, the asking the courts
Speaker 3: to put a pause on the law banning TikTok. And
Speaker 3: I will make a clarification. I looked at the law
Speaker 3: over the break and it would ban TikTok unless they
Speaker 3: sell to an American company. And that's sort of the
Speaker 3: compromise like I actually think should exist. But I think Bruce,
Speaker 3: a caller has called in to share his thoughts on
Speaker 3: the TikTok band with us. Bruce, Welcome to the dan
Speaker 3: Kapla Show.
Speaker 1: Hey there, Christy, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Of course, thanks for calling me.
Speaker 1: What I want really, really, really, what I want to
Speaker 1: point out is we forget how valuable being allowed to
Speaker 1: play in the best market.
Speaker 3: Oh are there, Bruce? I think we might have.
Speaker 1: Lost you a market for Americans and American companies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you broke up a little bit, but you're
Speaker 3: saying you think the free market in America should be
Speaker 3: available to American companies, not Chinese companies. That's what you're saying.
Speaker 1: And basically, let me get you a very widespread even
Speaker 1: though it's a very small egg example. Okay, if you
Speaker 1: want to sell hero or like snacks at a Bronco
Speaker 1: football game, can anybody do that?
Speaker 3: Nope?
Speaker 1: Nope. That's because we know how valuable that having access
Speaker 1: to the market is. We charge the players to pay.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's a very valid point national market, right,
Speaker 1: And basically what it is is we forget how valuable
Speaker 1: American citizenship is. And that's truly a tragedy.
Speaker 3: Well, and you're right, and people love to talk about
Speaker 3: that when it comes to immigration, but they don't seem
Speaker 3: to apply it to the business world and free markets.
Speaker 3: And I think you make an excellent point that just
Speaker 3: because something is a free market doesn't mean that there
Speaker 3: shouldn't be you know, a price to access it and
Speaker 3: to put value on it and make sure people understand
Speaker 3: what it's worth. I think that's a great point.
Speaker 1: Vers Yeah, all right, if you're not a player, and
Speaker 1: we've really messed up, really Adam Smith's talk about free markets,
Speaker 1: because that Smith talked about free the market, but he
Speaker 1: talked about comparative advantage. Yes, so if I'm growing bananas
Speaker 1: or sugar cane, tropical countries have a comparative advantage to us.
Speaker 1: That's where free markets work. But if we're talking about
Speaker 1: technology and manufacturing, there are no comparative advantages. And we
Speaker 1: as a country, if you talk about national defense and
Speaker 1: the security of national defense, we should make our own drugs. Oh, absolutely,
Speaker 1: make your own antibiotics.
Speaker 3: I know it's ridiculous. Actually, so yeah, at the mercy
Speaker 3: of China in so many cases.
Speaker 1: Our own chips. Yeah, on and on.
Speaker 3: No, you're so right, Thank you, Bruce, appreciate the call.
Speaker 3: All right. Well, hey, if you have the same thought
Speaker 3: as Bruce or a different one, you two can call
Speaker 3: into the Dan Kapla show eight five five four zero
Speaker 3: five eight two five five. I'm actually glad Bruce brought
Speaker 3: up pharmaceuticals medicines that are made, and chips in so
Speaker 3: many of our phones, electric cars, all these things. This
Speaker 3: is actually something I wanted to talk about later in
Speaker 3: the show, when we just us what Trump has promised
Speaker 3: to do in his for a few hours or one
Speaker 3: hundred days in office, but also what we think he
Speaker 3: should do. I'd love to hear from you, but I
Speaker 3: think the point about chips, medicines, or whether we're talking
Speaker 3: about social media, companies and technology, is that we do
Speaker 3: outsource this too way too many companies, and therefore we
Speaker 3: are at countries, sorry, not companies, and so we are
Speaker 3: therefore reliant on our enemies in many cases when we
Speaker 3: look at China in particular, or countries that could turn
Speaker 3: on us if they want to, and we're really at
Speaker 3: the mercy of their decisions. I don't think that's right
Speaker 3: to do to American citizens. It's certainly not in America
Speaker 3: first outlook to say, oh, this medicine that you need
Speaker 3: to survive, Well, we're just counting on China continuing to
Speaker 3: produce that and supply us with it. And as far
Speaker 3: as the chips go, a lot of that comes down
Speaker 3: to mining and environmental requirements. In Colorado, I was once
Speaker 3: oide of breakfast with Senator James Lankford from Oklahoma. He
Speaker 3: sits on the National Resources Committee in the Senate, and
Speaker 3: he shed a lot of light on how insanely difficult
Speaker 3: it is is for American companies to be able to
Speaker 3: mine some of these rare earth minerals that actually do
Speaker 3: exist in the United States, but because of all of
Speaker 3: our environmental regulations and licensing requirements and other regulations, we
Speaker 3: outsource that to China as well. And do we really
Speaker 3: think China's follow following any sort of environmental regulations, Like
Speaker 3: if you actually believe that the world should be clean
Speaker 3: and that we should have, you know, a healthy climate
Speaker 3: for people to survive, why in the world are we
Speaker 3: outsourcing mining of rare earth minerals and the cleaning of
Speaker 3: them and the processing to China, who does not care
Speaker 3: whatsoever about having a clean ozone or a good climate
Speaker 3: or healthy air or anything of the sort. So I
Speaker 3: think that's a very short sighted decision that needs to
Speaker 3: be changed. We need to mine those things in the
Speaker 3: United States. If you have thoughts about any of this
Speaker 3: or the free speech implications of banning a company like TikTok,
Speaker 3: call in eight five five four zero, five eight two
Speaker 3: five five or text DAN five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3: I'm Christy Burton Brown. Glad to have you with us today.
Speaker 3: I wanted to bring a little bit more clarity to
Speaker 3: the court case on the TikTok ban. Timing is a
Speaker 3: little bit interesting here. When it was passed by Congress.
Speaker 3: It actually the ban takes place on January nineteenth, so
Speaker 3: one day before President Trump would be sworn in. And
Speaker 3: what he's actually asking for in his brief that he
Speaker 3: filed in the court, by the way, agreed to fast
Speaker 3: track this case because the request, and Trump is at
Speaker 3: making this request himself, is that basically the court put
Speaker 3: a stay on the law and pause the ban. He
Speaker 3: is saying his administration would like to look at possible
Speaker 3: political solutions, I imagine diplomatic solutions they may want to pursue.
Speaker 3: But I think at its core, the law is a
Speaker 3: very good one. Either ban it, or you ban TikTok,
Speaker 3: or they sell to an American company. And I think,
Speaker 3: like our last caller, that is a very important point
Speaker 3: that we need to have free markets prioritizing American companies.
Speaker 3: I think one of the core problems with TikTok is
Speaker 3: who the users are. It's not like a ton of
Speaker 3: TikTok users are fully aware adults who know that the
Speaker 3: national security implications of data being given to a Chinese
Speaker 3: company and the Chinese government having a foothold into that data,
Speaker 3: into their videos, into like facial recognition and all the
Speaker 3: types of things China likes to collect data to practice with.
Speaker 3: A lot of TikTok users are teenagers, people in junior
Speaker 3: high people in high school have really not fully considered
Speaker 3: these implications. So anyway, I don't know what you think.
Speaker 3: If you think the free market should be chiefly free
Speaker 3: to American companies but blocked to really enemies of the
Speaker 3: United States of America, that would be my view. I
Speaker 3: like the law, but I do think it's interesting that
Speaker 3: Trump filed a brief asking for more time as a
Speaker 3: new administration to pursue a political solution. We'll see where
Speaker 3: that goes. The Court is actually going to have to
Speaker 3: issue its decision before January nineteenth, because that's when the
Speaker 3: ban is set to take place. Now, they are hearing
Speaker 3: oral arguments on January tenth, so that gives the court
Speaker 3: nine days, way faster than the United State States Supreme
Speaker 3: Court typically likes to operate in big cases. But they
Speaker 3: fast tracked the case and agreed to hear are oral
Speaker 3: arguments on the tenth. So I mean that's in a
Speaker 3: couple weeks we'll be finding out exactly what happens. It
Speaker 3: doesn't really affect me. I don't have TikTok. I've refused
Speaker 3: to download it. I do look at Twitter all the time.
Speaker 3: That's my preferred social media source, and the reason for that.
Speaker 3: I mean, sure, I like that Elon Musk took it over,
Speaker 3: but honestly, I feel like if you follow the right people,
Speaker 3: you can find a lot of breaking news and interesting
Speaker 3: articles related to politics, which, of course everyone knows I
Speaker 3: love politics. You can find that on Twitter certainly, far
Speaker 3: more than you can on say, Instagram, Facebook. And I
Speaker 3: just think TikTok is you know a lot of young
Speaker 3: people things, and I'm not that young anymore, as much
Speaker 3: as I hate to admit it. Christy Britton Brown, we're
Speaker 3: here with you on the Dan Kapla Show. Text in
Speaker 3: your thoughts five seven seven three nine to Dan or
Speaker 3: call in anytime during the show eight five five four
Speaker 3: zero five eight two five five or about thirty seconds
Speaker 3: away from a break. But when we come back. What
Speaker 3: we're gonna do is we're gonna start going through the
Speaker 3: top ten and media hits of twenty twenty four. And
Speaker 3: these are not good media hits. What these are are
Speaker 3: the liberal media sources, maidstream media, and the Democrats making
Speaker 3: claims that were ended up being proved completely false. They
Speaker 3: were completely wrong, but you will see a highlight of
Speaker 3: how they tried to mislead the American public. I think
Speaker 3: sometimes looking back on what happened over the year also
Speaker 3: gives us a clue about what to watch for next
Speaker 3: year and what to reject as soon as we hear
Speaker 3: it instead of taking the time to let it play out.
Speaker 3: You're on the dan Kapla Show. I'm Christy Burton Brown,
Speaker 3: have the dan Kapla Show. I'm Christy Burton Brown. Glad
Speaker 3: to have you with us this afternoon almost evening. Hope
Speaker 3: you had a great Christmas. I had lots of family time.
Speaker 3: Still more coming up, which is always a good thing
Speaker 3: if you ask me.
Speaker 4: I want to.
Speaker 3: Respond to a couple of texts that we got. One's
Speaker 3: actually a random question, but a great one. So it
Speaker 3: says I thought Colorado had a law that all Electra
Speaker 3: votes go to the winner of the national popular vote.
Speaker 3: Colorado just voted for Harris. How does that work? Great question,
Speaker 3: what actually happened? So, yes, Colorado did pass the national
Speaker 3: popular Vote law, but it actually have to be a
Speaker 3: constitutional amendment for that to take effect. And so basically,
Speaker 3: Colorado just joined the list of states that wants to
Speaker 3: change the electoral college and wants every state's electoral votes
Speaker 3: to go to the national popular winner. But there's not
Speaker 3: enough states that have agreed with it yet. It is
Speaker 3: not a constitutional amendment change, so Colorado can't just do
Speaker 3: it on its own. We still have to do the
Speaker 3: constitutional process of the electoral college. So, great question, but
Speaker 3: that is the answer. Another text says, on the TikTok thing,
Speaker 3: we've been talking about the TikTok ban and how that's
Speaker 3: about to take effect. That's the United States Supreme Court
Speaker 3: doesn't put a pause on or reverse the law. By
Speaker 3: January nineteenth, President Trump actually submitted a brief today asking
Speaker 3: for a pause on the law to give him an
Speaker 3: opportunity to reach a political solution. But this text says,
Speaker 3: I agree, there needs to be a wholly US owned
Speaker 3: company run under and subj to US laws because right
Speaker 3: now TikTok's parent company is a Chinese owned company. This
Speaker 3: texter says a long time ago I were it worked
Speaker 3: for a particular company which was a wholy US owned
Speaker 3: company but started by British Nuclear Fuels. This paperwork involved
Speaker 3: as massive as it should have been. Even then, I
Speaker 3: had to recuse my clearance as my first act of
Speaker 3: taking that job. US security has to come first. I
Speaker 3: think that's a great contribution to the discussion, especially from
Speaker 3: someone who has experience with a foreign related company and
Speaker 3: recognizes there are hoops to jump through in order to
Speaker 3: prioritize national security. I think that's a good balance in
Speaker 3: this law that Congress has passed to say, hey, TikTok
Speaker 3: is only banned if they're not going to sell to
Speaker 3: a US owned company. You can continue, that's your option.
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair way to measure participation in
Speaker 3: the US free market, like you've actually got to comply
Speaker 3: with some laws and not be giving people's data to China.
Speaker 3: We'll see what the Supreme Court decides. I'm going to
Speaker 3: get into these clips though, that I've promised to get into.
Speaker 3: There are top ten media hits from the year. You
Speaker 3: could probably have some of your own, but these are
Speaker 3: bad hits like liberal media and they lied to people
Speaker 3: and then were proved wrong, or the Democrats. So let's
Speaker 3: get into it. I'm gonna play a little bit and
Speaker 3: we'll talk about it.
Speaker 4: Let's mortifying media moments of twenty twenty four, number ten.
Speaker 4: Ignore your eyes. Those are cheap fakes.
Speaker 5: There's a growing and insidious trend in right wing media broadcasts,
Speaker 5: print and social media. It is to take highly misleading
Speaker 5: and selectively edited videos of President Biden directly from Republican
Speaker 5: National Committee social media accounts and then use those videos
Speaker 5: to spread messages virally to cast out on President Biden's
Speaker 5: fitness for office. Here's this headline from the New York
Speaker 5: Post quote Biden appears to freeze up, has to be
Speaker 5: led off stage by Obama at Megabucks LA fundraiser. The
Speaker 5: full video, posted by biden financed chair on Twitter shows
Speaker 5: something entirely different, Biden reacting to applause and then walking
Speaker 5: off stage with former President Obama. It comes less than
Speaker 5: one week after.
Speaker 6: The New York Post made a cover.
Speaker 5: Out of another piece of deceptively edited tape, calling him
Speaker 5: Neander in Chief due to what they claim was Biden
Speaker 5: walking away during a skydiving demonstration during the G seven
Speaker 5: seventh last week, Biden was going over to congratulate one
Speaker 5: of the skydivers. The articles are based on cheap fakes
Speaker 5: videos of real events that are intentionally manipulated to fool viewers.
Speaker 4: Number nine.
Speaker 3: All right, let's like about ever ten before we go
Speaker 3: to number nine. So there's just one example of many.
Speaker 3: You remember this whole last year, the mainstream media pushed
Speaker 3: back against the Republican narrative that Biden was in trouble,
Speaker 3: that he was not all mentally there, that he was
Speaker 3: probably not competent to be president, and instead they accused
Speaker 3: Republicans and Conservatives of creating fake images that didn't really
Speaker 3: show Biden what he was doing. Now, as we all know,
Speaker 3: as the campaign continued, it became extremely obvious that Biden
Speaker 3: was suffering from incompetency, was absolutely suffering from mental issues.
Speaker 3: And now now that the year is closing out, now
Speaker 3: that Trump won the election, now that the majority of
Speaker 3: Americans agree that's not who they want to be president
Speaker 3: for the next four years, it's failing us on the
Speaker 3: international stage. Now we see all these articles. Well, actually,
Speaker 3: here's how they hid Biden's mental inabilities. And now you
Speaker 3: see all these admissions coming out, So you know, that
Speaker 3: was a huge miss by the mainstream media to accuse
Speaker 3: Republicans conservatives of faking the images when really everyone knew
Speaker 3: that it was exactly what was going on, and the
Speaker 3: American public never should have been lied to by the
Speaker 3: Biden administration, which was helped along by the mainstream media.
Speaker 3: Let's go to number nine.
Speaker 4: Most mortifying media moment.
Speaker 3: Hmm, let's see. I'm gonna have to see if I
Speaker 3: can find the right spot for US alic.
Speaker 7: Or republic if we're not a democracy. I've heard a
Speaker 7: lot of conspiracy theories. I hear a lot of things
Speaker 7: out on the road, but to hear Americans, people who
Speaker 7: had described themselves as patriots say that America is not
Speaker 7: a democracy, that stopped me in my tracks.
Speaker 3: You were hearing people say America is not a democracy
Speaker 3: because there are people around Trump who want them to
Speaker 3: be saying that, who've been planting that narrative.
Speaker 4: Number eight.
Speaker 3: Beyonce, it all right, this was number nine. You got
Speaker 3: to hear at least a part of it. And basically
Speaker 3: it's acting like if you say that our country is
Speaker 3: not a democracy, you're a conspiracy theorist. You're trying to
Speaker 3: make up stuff. And the reality is that America is
Speaker 3: a democratic republic. So there's nothing wrong with coming out
Speaker 3: there and saying, hey, we're not a full on democracy.
Speaker 3: For anyone who is unaware, what a full on democracy
Speaker 3: does is it is always majority rule. It is always
Speaker 3: in the hands of the people. The populace can change
Speaker 3: anything they want. You wouldn't have a representative government, which
Speaker 3: is the republic piece if you were a one hundred
Speaker 3: percent democracy, literally everything would be at the mercy of
Speaker 3: the people. So it's that some conspiracy theory to say
Speaker 3: that America isn't a democracy. But as we all know,
Speaker 3: the mainstream media and Democrats try to take a lot
Speaker 3: of opportunities this year to call conservatives and Republicans and
Speaker 3: Trump supporters conspiracy theorists every chance they got, and so
Speaker 3: they pick apart things that you say, even if they
Speaker 3: are one hundred percent true, backed up in history, backed
Speaker 3: up in fact, and they like to accuse you of
Speaker 3: going off some crazy, wacky rabbit trail that just isn't true.
Speaker 3: I think that's a huge problem and we need to
Speaker 3: stay on our ground and say, you know what, I've
Speaker 3: actually studied this, I've done the research. I have my facts,
Speaker 3: but sometimes we need to get better at explaining things.
Speaker 3: And so I think instead of just saying America's not
Speaker 3: a democracy and getting mad every time someone says that
Speaker 3: we're a democracy, take the time to explain the difference
Speaker 3: in a republican and democracy. Take the time to explain
Speaker 3: what a democratic republic is, which is actually unique. I
Speaker 3: think this is one of the big reasons that makes
Speaker 3: America unique. Not only do we have one of the oldest,
Speaker 3: longest lasting constitutions in the history of the world, but
Speaker 3: we also we allow a mix of people getting to
Speaker 3: vote on certain things, and popular vote does control on
Speaker 3: some things like ballot measures here in Colorado and in
Speaker 3: a lot of states around the nation. That's also how
Speaker 3: we elect most of our politicians. Is true a popular vote,
Speaker 3: but we also have the republic peace, which is a
Speaker 3: representative government where every state has two senators that it's
Speaker 3: not based on your population. That's based on the fact
Speaker 3: that you are one of the fifty states of the
Speaker 3: United States of America. And so we allow every area
Speaker 3: of the nation to have representation that's not solely based
Speaker 3: on population. It's a states rights issue. It's where the
Speaker 3: tenth Amendment comes in and so actually, instead of getting
Speaker 3: upset at people who tell us that we're wrong it
Speaker 3: or crazy when we say it's not a democracy, I
Speaker 3: think we should take opportunity to explain to people what
Speaker 3: the tenth Amendment means, why we have States rights, why
Speaker 3: senators and Congressmen are elected differently, and why we don't
Speaker 3: base everything on a popular vote. So, you know, dispel
Speaker 3: the myth that we're conspiracy theorists by taking the time
Speaker 3: to give people a good education. I'm Chrissy Burton Brown.
Speaker 3: You're on the Dancap performing at the DNC.
Speaker 8: There are rumor there are rumors that Beyonce might make
Speaker 8: an appearance.
Speaker 4: I personally think that that's true. Is the Unia Center
Speaker 4: going to be turning into the Beehive tonight?
Speaker 6: The beehive is buzzing right now because the preparation for
Speaker 6: the Beehive it has to start.
Speaker 8: Her all ag Ja.
Speaker 5: Donor confirmed to me that she's also hearing that Beyonce
Speaker 5: is inroot Beyonce.
Speaker 3: You mean it's going to show up?
Speaker 4: You mean bay Breaking Beyonce News number seven.
Speaker 3: So, I'm Christy Britton Brown. You're on the Dan Kavla Show.
Speaker 3: We're going through the ten worst hits of the media
Speaker 3: specifically had some Democrats over this last year, and that
Speaker 3: one you just heard was the big hype the media
Speaker 3: tried to create coming from the Kabala campaign that Beyonce
Speaker 3: was supposedly going to come and perform at one of
Speaker 3: her rallies, and we all know that performance never actually happened,
Speaker 3: leading to a lot of disappointed Kabala supporters. But it's
Speaker 3: just one of those things, like the media has wanted
Speaker 3: to hype up a celebrity showing at a presidential candidate's rally.
Speaker 3: It's a misuse in my opinion of media when you
Speaker 3: get out there and you basically become a hype person
Speaker 3: for a particular candidate you're supposed to report in the news.
Speaker 3: Announcing that she's supposed to show up is fine, but
Speaker 3: theorizing on, oh man, it's going to be a performance,
Speaker 3: it's going to be big. We're hearing all of this,
Speaker 3: which again I blame actually the Kamala campaign for a
Speaker 3: lot of this. They in many situations it appears that
Speaker 3: they lied to their supporters but was actually going to
Speaker 3: go on at their rallies to try and create big
Speaker 3: crowds that can mirror what Trump can do on his
Speaker 3: own with no celebrity showings. But the media certainly played
Speaker 3: into it and it led to a lot of upset people.
Speaker 3: So just another big miss by the media. When you
Speaker 3: try and actually be campaign staffers instead of report the news,
Speaker 3: it often doesn't go well because then campaigns will use
Speaker 3: you and misuse you, and we definitely saw that's what
Speaker 3: the Kamala campaign did. As we go through these clips,
Speaker 3: if you have thoughts or want to call in, you
Speaker 3: can eight five five four zero five eight two five five,
Speaker 3: or you can text five seven seven three nine. Start
Speaker 3: it with Dan. Let's go to number seven.
Speaker 4: Number seven. The media tries to scare people about Project
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: So far right manifesto puts forth sealing the border and
Speaker 2: it seeks to do so with military force. It aims
Speaker 2: to use every lever of government to find, detain, and
Speaker 2: deport undocumented people. Take funding and housing away from people
Speaker 2: who are just associated with undocumented immigrants. Quote, deny loan
Speaker 2: assistance to those who are not US citizens are lawful
Speaker 2: permanent residents.
Speaker 4: Number six.
Speaker 3: All right, Project twenty twenty five. This was a good
Speaker 3: one all year long. Another big hype by the media,
Speaker 3: and you know, it's just, in my opinion, shows how
Speaker 3: much the media often tries to feed into theories instead
Speaker 3: of reporting facts and news. And hey, it's one thing.
Speaker 3: If you have an opinion show or a talk show,
Speaker 3: you can theorize all you want. That's what people pay
Speaker 3: you for, is your opinion, and that's what they listen for,
Speaker 3: is your take on different things. But when you are
Speaker 3: the news and you are making theoretical accusations, this is
Speaker 3: why so many people don't trust to mainstream media anymore.
Speaker 3: And so Project twenty twenty five obviously blew up. It
Speaker 3: was written by the Heritage Foundation, not the Trump campaign,
Speaker 3: and Trump has disabout it and said, hey, this isn't
Speaker 3: my plan. Now in my opinion, now that he's elected,
Speaker 3: is he actually going to use a significant significant number
Speaker 3: of things from Project twenty twenty five. Probably, but not
Speaker 3: because it's from Project twenty twenty five, but because a
Speaker 3: lot of the ideas in Project twenty twenty five, which
Speaker 3: are explained very well in that document are things that
Speaker 3: conservatives have been pushing for for a very long time
Speaker 3: and have advocated for well outside of Project twenty twenty
Speaker 3: five as well. So you know, I think it's a
Speaker 3: convenient cover that democrats and the media sometimes want to
Speaker 3: use and say, ooh again it has been conspiracy Project
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, when it's like, no, conservatives have been
Speaker 3: pushing for this exact solution for a long time. You know,
Speaker 3: just because it's all compiled in one document in an
Speaker 3: organized way doesn't mean it was some conspiracy to make
Speaker 3: it happen. You know, maybe we actually have an opportunity
Speaker 3: to pass some of our policies now that we've advocated
Speaker 3: for for quite some time. So I find that to
Speaker 3: be interesting. But I'll bring in Jared Polis now because
Speaker 3: he actually went and spoke at the DNC. I don't
Speaker 3: know how many of you watched it. I did very
Speaker 3: odd speech, like very odd, but he actually focused on
Speaker 3: Project twenty twenty five, so as a Colorado connection to this,
Speaker 3: and he went up there and talked about how Project
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. I don't know, he made all these
Speaker 3: weird accusations and it wasn't even in it all related
Speaker 3: to like supposed reproductive rights, which basically just means let's
Speaker 3: talk about abortion and advocate for it and scare everyone
Speaker 3: to think that these pro life laws are going to
Speaker 3: kill women, which has been proved absolutely false by any
Speaker 3: investigative report that's actually looked into states that have passed
Speaker 3: abortion bands. But anyway, that's the Colorado connection to it.
Speaker 3: Jared Poulis going up to the DNC and trying to
Speaker 3: scare people about Project twenty twenty five. Uh, definitely blown
Speaker 3: way out of proportion. And Christy Burton Brown, you're on
Speaker 3: the Dan Kapla show. Let's go to number six.
Speaker 4: Number six media tries to hype up the amount of
Speaker 4: misinformation on X.
Speaker 8: After Elon Musk took over in twenty twenty two, most
Speaker 8: of its fact checkers were fired. Now the site is
Speaker 8: rife with trash talk and lies. Little would you know
Speaker 8: that this said to be footage from Gaza is really
Speaker 8: from a video game. Eventually X users added a warning
Speaker 8: label these are AI generated images of Well see for yourself.
Speaker 8: Did your research find that there was more misinformation spread
Speaker 8: by conservatives?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 6: X has turned into a haven for the spread of misinformation.
Speaker 6: Since buying the site almost two years ago, Musks, the
Speaker 6: site has struggled to control it on topics ranging from
Speaker 6: the election to the assassination attempt against Trump.
Speaker 4: Number five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so very interesting that you did not hear the
Speaker 3: same people complaining about Facebook when Facebook went out there
Speaker 3: and hid a bunch of information, elevated certain stories, changed
Speaker 3: their algorithm during the twenty twenty election to promote liberals
Speaker 3: and Democrats. Like that was hidden. People acted like it
Speaker 3: didn't happen. The very same people who want to claim
Speaker 3: that Twitter is helping conservatives spread misinformation didn't want to
Speaker 3: talk about it when the other side clearly did it
Speaker 3: on Facebook. So you know, there's always always hypocrisy. I
Speaker 3: think that is illustrated there. But the other thing is
Speaker 3: like they're just making it up. Honestly, if you use
Speaker 3: Twitter or x or whatever you want to call it
Speaker 3: these days, the community notes are, especially the way they've
Speaker 3: been changed, I think are quite effective. People who have
Speaker 3: facts and who know things, and multiple people get in
Speaker 3: there and comment on the same piece of misinformation. Things
Speaker 3: are corrected quite often in a beneficial way, and people
Speaker 3: are pointed to the right facts of the right source.
Speaker 3: But it's just it's just very funny when the media
Speaker 3: changes its narrative as soon as someone knew takes over
Speaker 3: a platform, someone who they don't like, someone who they
Speaker 3: want to disagree with, someone who they think is rich
Speaker 3: and supporting a conservative. Oh my goodness, Now we need
Speaker 3: to line up these accusations and make them. And please,
Speaker 3: do you want to tell me that when Twitter had
Speaker 3: different owners, there wasn't misinformation, Then there weren't false stories,
Speaker 3: Then there wasn't the knee for community notes at that point. Like,
Speaker 3: come on any social media platform when you have the
Speaker 3: public participating and people sitting at home on their computers
Speaker 3: typing out what they think they've heard, which existed back
Speaker 3: then and still exists today, You're gonna have people getting
Speaker 3: things wrong. You're gonna have bad actors that are spreading misinformation.
Speaker 3: But to say, what's a conservative thing? Is it stupid
Speaker 3: to say it's a liberal thing, Like I'm sorry people,
Speaker 3: it's a human thing. People like to spread misinformation. Is
Speaker 3: it trying to act like that's one sided and blame
Speaker 3: you know, rich person who wants to support conservatives like
Speaker 3: Elon Musk, I think is ridiculous And people found that
Speaker 3: out about the media this year. We're gonna go ahead
Speaker 3: and get back to more clips after the break. We'll
Speaker 3: start the top of the hour with more of these hits,
Speaker 3: and then we're going to talk about President Trump, what
Speaker 3: he's gonna do in his first few hours, first one
Speaker 3: hundred days, and what you think he should do. So
Speaker 3: I be thinking about that. I'm Christy Burton Brown. You're
Speaker 3: on the Dan Kaplis Show, and you can call in
Speaker 3: over the break eight five five four zero five eight
Speaker 3: two five five. You can also text five seven seven
Speaker 3: three nine to Dan and give us your thoughts. Start
Speaker 3: giving me ideas. What should Trump do in his first
Speaker 3: one hundred days in office? If you could create your
Speaker 3: own wish list, what would be on it
