This is what 6 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.239 peace through strength looks like, right. I mean you look 7 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.440 at today one of the most beautiful CNN headlines ever. 8 00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:28.000 Canada bend's knee just like Mexico. That's how they're six 9 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:32.920 o'clock hour east coast let off. Because President Trump promises, 10 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.000 made promises, kept, imposes the tariffs, and imposes the tariffs 11 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.359 to protect this nation and the people in it from 12 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:40.799 fentanyl and illegal immigration. 13 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.320 And what happens within. 14 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.119 A matter of hours, all of the sudden, Mexico and 15 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.560 Canada they bend the knee and they say, okay, we'll 16 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.920 do these things you want us to do, President Trump. 17 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.359 And that's the way it should be, right because President 18 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.159 Trump wasn't using American power to get something we're not 19 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.320 entitled to or something we don't deserve. He was using 20 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.079 American power to get this nation the bare minimum it's 21 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.079 entitled to. And listen, we've been blessed right this nation 22 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.359 only exists. I agree with the founders. Read the last 23 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.959 line of the Declaration of Independence. This nation only exists 24 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:20.560 because of the providence of God, and our founders bet 25 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.480 at all on that, and they bet right, and we 26 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.400 reap the benefit. We only exist because of the providence 27 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:25.760 of God. 28 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.319 So it would be wrong of. 29 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.280 Us to now go out and misuse that power to 30 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.920 get things we're not entitled to. 31 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.239 But we are entitled to this. 32 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.280 We're entitled to stop the chemical weapons attack on our 33 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:43.319 country from Mexico and from Canada and China behind much 34 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.760 of it. We're entitled to that at a minimum. And 35 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.079 the fact that Trump is the first president willing to 36 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.879 stand up and use a modicum of American power. We're 37 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.719 not talking about military power, just basic economic power to 38 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.799 say no, stop this. We're not going to put up 39 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.640 with it anymore. It's ludicrous. We've had to wait this long, 40 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.239 but thank God for President Trump. It's not the first 41 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:06.879 time we've said it, and it won't be the last, 42 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.560 because a lot of lives are going to be saved 43 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.520 by this. But the precedent is so important. Yeah, we 44 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.759 talk about America's back in this that that that's all true, 45 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.800 but the point being the bigger message to people that 46 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.599 wait a second, Yes, we have this power, and we've 47 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:25.639 paid dearly. 48 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.319 For this power. Who's the wee kim Asabi. Not me. 49 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.439 I haven't paid dearly for it, but all the men 50 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.560 and women who have fought. 51 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.080 And died or risked their lives and. 52 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.280 Done other things so that the world could be free 53 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.280 and we could be the greatest nation in the history 54 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.240 of the world. Because of what they've done, we have 55 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.560 the power to stop bad things and do good things, 56 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.879 if only we have leaders who are willing to use 57 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.520 that power. Well, Trump is and Americans can already see 58 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.479 how much better their lives are because of that. And 59 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.280 above all, they can see it doesn't have to be 60 00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.680 the way it's been right, and that is liberating. And 61 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.039 I think that is a permanent change. I think that's 62 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.639 why you see Jared Polist George joined us earlier to 63 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.159 talk about that now, pretending that he's Tom Homan, and 64 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.400 you know he wants to close the border and everything else. 65 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:16.639 When Polis is provably the founding father of sanctuary State 66 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.639 in Colorado, but he sees he sees this is a 67 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.680 permanent change in progress. If he thought this was just oh, 68 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.840 some sort of pendulum swing. He wouldn't be trying to 69 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.479 convince everybody he's the opposite of what he's been. No, 70 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.840 unless the GOP finds a way to royally screw this up, 71 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.360 which is even hard to imagine how they could do that, 72 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.039 this is likely to be a permanent change because people Democrat, Republican, etc. 73 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.159 They love their children more than. 74 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.039 They love their political party, and they see now how 75 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.319 much better it can be, how much safer we can be, 76 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.199 how much better life can be, and they're seeing it 77 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:53.840 in concrete, tangible ways quickly. 78 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.199 So today's another example. 79 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.319 All it took was just properly using American power to say, oh, 80 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.599 you cannot you cannot continue to be an accessory to 81 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.599 this mass murder of Americans one two hundred thousand a year. 82 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.479 Trump says today, it's probably a bigger number than that. No, no, 83 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.680 say nation would stand for it. But we've had year 84 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.839 after year after year of these lefties now literally trying 85 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.399 to pull down and drag down America. I mean Barack Obama, 86 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.480 he did at front and center at the United Nations 87 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.240 said America is no better than any other nation on 88 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.680 the face of the earth. The American people are no 89 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.519 better than any other people on the face of the earth. 90 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.040 And no world order that says America or its people 91 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.160 are better than any other nation will succeed. 92 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.600 No world order that elevates one nation or group of 93 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.439 people over another will succeed. 94 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.480 So that's become the left rallying cry. Power among nations 95 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:47.079 will hold. 96 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.399 That's been the left rallying cry. And you can see 97 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.079 everything they've done to make that reality, and Trump's reversing 98 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.639 it and reversing it quickly. You know, it's interesting Ryan 99 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.800 that line from Hamilton about Alexander Hamilton, who died young. 100 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.560 Why does he write like he's running out of time? 101 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.959 And that's what we see with President Trump. I mean, 102 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:10.639 he's acting now like a man who doesn't have much time, 103 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.040 and he's getting all these great things done quickly. Is 104 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.839 that because he miraculously and there's no other explanation survived 105 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.120 that assassination attempt in Butler and then a second one. 106 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:24.040 Is it because that. 107 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.000 He knows that under best of circumstances, he's really got 108 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.319 the first two years of this term to accomplish most 109 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.079 of what he wants to accomplish before attention starts to 110 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.720 turn following the midterms, whatever it is, it's a magnificent 111 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.240 thing to behold. Not perfect, but no human endeavor ever 112 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.920 will be, but the best I've ever seen. So I 113 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.800 think to help celebrate that as we go to the 114 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.319 phone lines and text today, we are going to get 115 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.959 messages randomly throughout the show from President Trump thanks to 116 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.439 this wonderful gift I got at the office. 117 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.600 I think they got it at Staples. 118 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.199 Energy and Bold Spirit make me tingle inside. Yeah, So 119 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.759 anytime you want to pick me up Ran at the office, 120 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:07.759 you just press this thing. 121 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.160 I love it. You like an American eagle, spread your 122 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:11.879 wings and fly. 123 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:14.839 You never get tired of listening to that? To you 124 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.519 A five five zero five two five five the number 125 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.079 text d A N five seven seven three nine. So 126 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.560 tying into this, Uh Trump just writing like a man 127 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.720 who's running out of time, and we all are right. 128 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.360 I remember, Ryan, I tried to ask Amy for my birthday. 129 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.279 I wanted her to give me one of those clocks. 130 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:34.279 Have you seen them? 131 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.480 Where you program in your birth date and some other 132 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.000 basic demos, and then they count down the amount of 133 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.920 time you have left in your life based upon you know, 134 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.800 the state statistics hikes. 135 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.160 You've never seen one of those. A. Is it supposed 136 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.680 to make you feel like you're running out of time? No, 137 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.160 it's supposed to to keep you motivated. I mean, you 138 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:54.920 know you're going to do it. 139 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.120 If if you're sitting there looking at the clock that says, okay, 140 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.800 I've only got X left, you're it's likely to sit 141 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.000 there and scroll for an hour. 142 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:02.319 Right. 143 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.199 But yeah, you've got these life expectancy tables established by 144 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.399 the States, So it's not going to be precise. But 145 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.600 point about Trump accomplishing so much so quickly. Trump's stepping 146 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.600 in on us AID. And by the way, USAID doesn't 147 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.519 actually stand for us AID, it's referring to foreign assistance programs. Anyway, 148 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.120 you've probably heard a lot of this over the last 149 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.759 twenty four hours as the Trump administration has stepped in 150 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.279 and said, whoa, no, no, no, we're going to we're 151 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:32.959 going to take this over. We're going to stop this 152 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.519 crazy spending. Ask me Ryan, who in the PR Department 153 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:42.160 on the left decided that the best spokesperson for USAID 154 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.959 would be Ilhan Omar out of Minnesota. I am exceptionally 155 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:48.800 upset about USAID. 156 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.240 I lived in a refugee camp for four years as 157 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:59.199 a child surviving civil war. It is the essential programs 158 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.439 that USA provided that kept my family and I fit 159 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:04.480 and safe. 160 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:10.600 Now, listen, USAID has done some very good work. Based 161 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.519 on the reports I've been seeing over the last twenty 162 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.839 four hours, it looks like it's done some bad work also. 163 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.399 But the fact that USAID is responsible for ilhan Omar 164 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.800 being here ilhan Omar, I'm not sure that's the best 165 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.800 selling point for USAID, based upon the fact that my 166 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.960 constitutionally protected opinion. She's a person who doesn't like America, 167 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.360 and it seems to me that our foreign age should 168 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:46.919 be spent on people who either like America or at 169 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.879 least aren't so negative toward America, you. 170 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:50.360 Know what I mean. 171 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.399 But Hey, USAID has done a lot of good things 172 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.440 for a lot of needy people. But from everything I've 173 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.080 learned recently, it's also done a lot of bad stuff. 174 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.879 So what's wrong with the light of day? What's wrong? 175 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.159 To get into the bottom of it? Eight five five 176 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.159 for zero five A two five to five. The number. 177 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.200 The fact the left is panicking like this tells you 178 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.879 everything you need to know, right, everything you need to know, 179 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.679 And it makes me believe those people are out there 180 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.720 saying that USAID is in large part of slush fund 181 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.519 for the left. May very well be right. I want 182 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.000 to do this, I want to come back. I promised 183 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.679 the next segment to callers will mix in some of 184 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.519 these texts as well, and I'll tell you about this 185 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.480 great new poll out of Colorado that confirms that I've 186 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.519 been saying, and the poll was not done from the right, 187 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.559 not at all, that that confirms the worm is turning 188 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.440 in Colorado? Is it going to turn fast enough for 189 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.720 the GOP to win in twenty six Here on the 190 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:39.879 Dan Kapla Show. 191 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.080 And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast. 192 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.480 I mean, like he's running out of time. It's a 193 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:52.600 beautiful thing to behold. 194 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.799 Have we ever seen any presidency this much, this fast, 195 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.919 so many victories and victories that matter. I mean today 196 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.720 the headline on CNN six o'clock Eastern Canada bends the 197 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.639 knee like Mexico. They both did today because Trump imposed 198 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.600 a tariffs, So now very concrete ways they're going to 199 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.960 close that border down and close it down a fentanyl 200 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:17.759 and a lot of Americans are going to be saved. 201 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.879 But insane that we hadn't. 202 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.840 Insisted on that before eight five to five for five 203 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:25.480 eight two five five, we''t turning in Colorado. Also a 204 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.000 poll from the left, not the right. Denver Post writes 205 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.879 it up in a warning for Colorado Democrats. A new 206 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.480 poll shows their popularity slipping. Now, what in the heart 207 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:39.240 of the poll is Colorado's now properly identify the Republican 208 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.120 Party as the party of the working class and the 209 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.840 party with the solutions to economic problems. Now, Democrats still 210 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.080 have about a seven point generic lead in the poll, 211 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.960 but it's that underlying conclusion that matters most because once 212 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.200 people start to see the truth like that, the biggest 213 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.519 thing it means is that they're now seeing many more 214 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.799 credit Party in Colorado for what it is. And once 215 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.919 the scales fall off the eyes and they can see 216 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:08.799 that reality, then all you need is a really great 217 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.879 GOP candidate and then you got a chance. You know, 218 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:17.799 still very uphill battle right, deep blue Colorado. But what movie, Ryan, 219 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.919 is that line from? And how come we don't have 220 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:24.799 it on our our bumps? Here the line? So you're 221 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.039 saying I've got a chance. 222 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.399 Well, yeah, that's uh, dumb and dumber, dumb and dummer 223 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.600 our third date. If I remember the timing right. 224 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.200 The fact that she endured that with you. 225 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.039 Did she like the movie? No? 226 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.320 Okay, but she at least went both times, and then 227 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.039 continue to go on dates the theater. 228 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.799 So see you football game? So you see SU game 229 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:44.480 was our first date? 230 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.320 Are you really testing your battle game? 231 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.159 Two days later Monday night football? Oh yeah? 232 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:54.360 Then Presidential debate a few nights later. Oh wow, when 233 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.480 she watched it on like a seven inch TV at 234 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.360 her house, and I thought, there's no hope for this 235 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.480 relationship because if you go to my house at that 236 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.120 time and I'm living alone, I'm a bacher. I've got 237 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.879 one fork, one knife, one plate, my dog, I've got 238 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.279 a lazy boy. I got the big screen TV I 239 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.679 left at the money my grandfather left me when he died. 240 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:13.279 Nice. 241 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.960 But then I've got a TV in like in my bathroom, 242 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.240 like where you'd sit down. I got TVs everywhere. She 243 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.279 has this one little six inch TV. And I thought, 244 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.159 this is a no hope. 245 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.879 And three utensils, three TV. 246 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:26.519 Yeah yeah, But. 247 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.799 She came around then I did too, Eric here on 248 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.440 the Dan Kapla Show, and then we'll get to these 249 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:32.960 great texts. 250 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.879 How you doing, my friend? Hey, how's it going but 251 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:38.759 I am living a dream. How about you all? 252 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:42.720 Pretty good? Hey, Dan, I wanted to tell you something 253 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:46.639 real quick, and I believe this has been true about 254 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.639 the state of Colorado even before this last election and 255 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:55.080 just recently. But I have heard that there are polls 256 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.840 that indicate that in the state of Colorado many people 257 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.279 would be willing to vote for a moderate, middle of 258 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.720 the road Republican as opposed to you know, a Maga 259 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:13.399 Republican or an extremely religious Christian conservative Republican. But I 260 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.879 believe that now you are saying what would be a 261 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.840 good candidate. But I believe now if you guys could 262 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.759 run a more moderate, middle of the road Republicans, you 263 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.840 got a fairly good chance of getting somebody elected. You know, well, 264 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:29.559 how would. 265 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.600 You, Eric, thank you for this call. How would you 266 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.799 define that a moderate middle of the road Republican. 267 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.279 I would say a Republican more like maybe Mitt Romney 268 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:47.879 or John McCain, or somebody who does not espouse an 269 00:13:48.000 --> 00:14:01.559 extremely religious type conservative ideology or now a man type Republican. 270 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:06.000 I don't think a Mago type Republican or an extremely 271 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.919 religious Republican would win, but somebody who is willing to 272 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.240 compromise on some of the ideologies. 273 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.039 You know, what about abortion? 274 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.919 What position would the GOP candidate in your view, need 275 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.879 to have an abortion in order to win. 276 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.399 I would say that they probably would have to bend 277 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:34.039 some on that. I don't if they were real hardcore 278 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.720 abortion is wrong, it sho be outlawed. I don't think 279 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.399 that would fly because the demographics of the state have 280 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:43.799 changed a lot. 281 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.840 And I'm going to jump in for one second only 282 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.519 because of timing and we're coming up toward the end 283 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:53.000 of the segment, but happy to continue this beyond the end. 284 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.240 And thank you for the call, Eric, because I know 285 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.559 there are plenty of smart people who would make the 286 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:01.960 same argument that you're making. But what well, Ryan, thank you. 287 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.200 Ryan just told my thundered. 288 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:05.639 Yeah. 289 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.519 Yeah, But Eric, I believe now more than ever. And 290 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.759 let's say three months ago, my first response to you 291 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.360 would have been the same as Ryan's just was Joe 292 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:20.879 O'Day right, because the GOP tried that and it obviously 293 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.840 didn't work. But what I would argue to you, my friend, 294 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.879 is that after the election of Donald Trump in November, 295 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.320 and after all the good things that have happened since then, 296 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.159 I feel even more strongly now. 297 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.120 No disrespect intended, but really the polar. 298 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.799 Opposite of where you're at right now, because I think 299 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.039 right now, the very best chance to win in Colorado, 300 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.879 and it would not be guaranteed, is to provide this 301 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.480 very clear contrast. And my belief is that if people 302 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.879 agree with you on a couple of the most important 303 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.200 things to them, they'll vote for you even though they 304 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.799 disagree with you on plenty of other things, and they'll 305 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.000 really respect the fact that you are honest with them 306 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.639 about the things you disagree on, and that you have 307 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.159 good reasons for the things you disagree on. So this 308 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:12.879 pole we've been talking about, I don't know if you've 309 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.000 had a chance to see it yet, this keating pole 310 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.200 in the Denver Post. The fact that Colorado's now see 311 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.919 Republicans as the party of the working people eric and 312 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.320 of economic solutions, I think shows there's been a major 313 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.919 breakthrough here. So I think it'd be a huge mistake 314 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.559 for the GOP to run somebody who's trying to go 315 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.039 soft in the middle. I think it's Hey, there is 316 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.559 a clear contrast here. And then two things, on the 317 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:43.200 issue of religion and on the issue of abortion, two 318 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:46.440 separate issues that intersect at some point on the issue 319 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:48.840 of religion, I respectfully disagree with you. I think it's 320 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:53.000 bizarre that this state that has such active religious communities 321 00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:58.960 has elected you know, multiple people now you know who 322 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.759 that don't see things quite the same way. And I'm 323 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:06.039 not talking about whether somebody is Christian versus Jewish, versus 324 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.400 Buddha versus. 325 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:08.799 Something else, none of that stuff. 326 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.920 I'm just talking about whether people have their faith, whatever 327 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.839 it may be, at the center of their life, and 328 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.359 whether it is it is what forms their moral core. 329 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.960 So I think Colorado right now would be very, very 330 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:29.440 receptive to a person of faith, openly of faith, who 331 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.920 lives their faith, even if people don't have the same faith. 332 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.359 And then on abortion, Eric, I think there's been a 333 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.119 sea change on that, and I think right now, with 334 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.200 what Colorado has done an abortion, putting it in the constitution, 335 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.319 I think to a very large extent that issues off 336 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.160 the table, and the Democrats have aborted themselves because what 337 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.319 we just saw in the last election is the Democrats 338 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.440 centered in an abortion and they got aborted because you 339 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:59.599 had so many voters who voted for the pro abortion 340 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.319 side of state initiatives and then voted for the Republican 341 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.240 candidates because they liked the Republican candidates and everything else, 342 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:07.920 and then. 343 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.680 They could take care of their beliefs on abortion over here. 344 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.680 And I'm sorry they have those beliefs on abortion, but 345 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:18.640 that issue now is not going to work for the 346 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.519 Democrats the way it has in the past. 347 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.319 But hey, you're welcome to stay, Eric. 348 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.880 I appreciate you calling on this. It's a really important issue. 349 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:26.720 We can continue after the break if you want. 350 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:27.400 But think about that. 351 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:31.960 Think about all these places now Republicans gained in very 352 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.160 pro abortion areas. 353 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.000 You're on the Dan Capla. 354 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:45.799 Shop, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 355 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.000 I went through so much. 356 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.400 I dedicated myself to sobriety, and God told me that 357 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:54.279 I would be rewarded and. 358 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:57.920 That he was so merri just how good it can get. 359 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:02.039 And I have to thank God. 360 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:05.319 I need to thank my beautiful mother for quoting me. 361 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:08.880 How cool was that that sto?

How do 364 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:17.559 you not watch that has nothing to do with you? 365 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.480 You got Trevor Noah already talking about how this might 366 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.119 be the last award show I ever host. 367 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.000 But that stuff, that's that's child stuff. 368 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:28.440 I mean, Beyonce one for Best Country Music exactly, thank you. 369 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.119 All right, but that was she looked mortified by the 370 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.960 way because everybody what that was? 371 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:39.599 No, and yeah, that was that was outrageous. She knew that. 372 00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:40.799 Everybody else knew it. 373 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:43.720 But Alicia Keys and so many others. But the whole crap, 374 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.440 we're sick of the tougher than that. 375 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:47.160 We're tepic. 376 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.359 I've been married to a Democrat or somebody tells me 377 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.079 gotta be sick. But yeah, no, But all I'm saying 378 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.519 is there's still a lot of interesting stuff. But my 379 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.759 point is the reason I played that sound is, Okay, 380 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.039 there's a rapper. She's one rapper of the year. I 381 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.279 think she's a third woman never win it. And you 382 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:10.799 know her performance, you know, the choreographed performance at times 383 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.680 just seemed kind of like a mass simulated orgy. But 384 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:17.720 the point being that she starts it by thanking God. 385 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.640 And this goes to our wonderful earlier caller who disagrees 386 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.920 with me and thinks that GOP needs to moderate in 387 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:29.960 Colorado to win statewide, and somebody who's less openly religious etc. 388 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.240 I think it's exactly the opposite. And I think part 389 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:38.240 of what's happened through Donald Trump prevailing over all of 390 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.319 those forces aligned against him, and Trump then gaining so 391 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.160 much credibility and admiration in the process, even from a 392 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.839 lot of people never admit it, and then all these 393 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:52.400 successes Trump has had, including today, I think what you've 394 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.440 had is more and more people being wanting to be 395 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.200 so much more open and public about God. You know, 396 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.920 Trump's standing up, they're in crediting God for saving him 397 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.720 in Butler and saying in the is a inaugural address, 398 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:09.400 you know that God saved him to make America great again. See, 399 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:13.160 so many more people are speaking about God publicly, whether 400 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.640 it's sporting events, whether it's what you just saw last night. 401 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.599
