Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. This is what
Speaker 1: peace through strength looks like, right. I mean you look
Speaker 1: at today one of the most beautiful CNN headlines ever.
Speaker 1: Canada bend's knee just like Mexico. That's how they're six
Speaker 1: o'clock hour east coast let off. Because President Trump promises,
Speaker 1: made promises, kept, imposes the tariffs, and imposes the tariffs
Speaker 1: to protect this nation and the people in it from
Speaker 1: fentanyl and illegal immigration.
Speaker 2: And what happens within.
Speaker 1: A matter of hours, all of the sudden, Mexico and
Speaker 1: Canada they bend the knee and they say, okay, we'll
Speaker 1: do these things you want us to do, President Trump.
Speaker 1: And that's the way it should be, right because President
Speaker 1: Trump wasn't using American power to get something we're not
Speaker 1: entitled to or something we don't deserve. He was using
Speaker 1: American power to get this nation the bare minimum it's
Speaker 1: entitled to. And listen, we've been blessed right this nation
Speaker 1: only exists. I agree with the founders. Read the last
Speaker 1: line of the Declaration of Independence. This nation only exists
Speaker 1: because of the providence of God, and our founders bet
Speaker 1: at all on that, and they bet right, and we
Speaker 1: reap the benefit. We only exist because of the providence
Speaker 1: of God.
Speaker 2: So it would be wrong of.
Speaker 1: Us to now go out and misuse that power to
Speaker 1: get things we're not entitled to.
Speaker 2: But we are entitled to this.
Speaker 1: We're entitled to stop the chemical weapons attack on our
Speaker 1: country from Mexico and from Canada and China behind much
Speaker 1: of it. We're entitled to that at a minimum. And
Speaker 1: the fact that Trump is the first president willing to
Speaker 1: stand up and use a modicum of American power. We're
Speaker 1: not talking about military power, just basic economic power to
Speaker 1: say no, stop this. We're not going to put up
Speaker 1: with it anymore. It's ludicrous. We've had to wait this long,
Speaker 1: but thank God for President Trump. It's not the first
Speaker 1: time we've said it, and it won't be the last,
Speaker 1: because a lot of lives are going to be saved
Speaker 1: by this. But the precedent is so important. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: talk about America's back in this that that that's all true,
Speaker 1: but the point being the bigger message to people that
Speaker 1: wait a second, Yes, we have this power, and we've
Speaker 1: paid dearly.
Speaker 2: For this power. Who's the wee kim Asabi. Not me.
Speaker 1: I haven't paid dearly for it, but all the men
Speaker 1: and women who have fought.
Speaker 2: And died or risked their lives and.
Speaker 1: Done other things so that the world could be free
Speaker 1: and we could be the greatest nation in the history
Speaker 1: of the world. Because of what they've done, we have
Speaker 1: the power to stop bad things and do good things,
Speaker 1: if only we have leaders who are willing to use
Speaker 1: that power. Well, Trump is and Americans can already see
Speaker 1: how much better their lives are because of that. And
Speaker 1: above all, they can see it doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: the way it's been right, and that is liberating. And
Speaker 1: I think that is a permanent change. I think that's
Speaker 1: why you see Jared Polist George joined us earlier to
Speaker 1: talk about that now, pretending that he's Tom Homan, and
Speaker 1: you know he wants to close the border and everything else.
Speaker 1: When Polis is provably the founding father of sanctuary State
Speaker 1: in Colorado, but he sees he sees this is a
Speaker 1: permanent change in progress. If he thought this was just oh,
Speaker 1: some sort of pendulum swing. He wouldn't be trying to
Speaker 1: convince everybody he's the opposite of what he's been. No,
Speaker 1: unless the GOP finds a way to royally screw this up,
Speaker 1: which is even hard to imagine how they could do that,
Speaker 1: this is likely to be a permanent change because people Democrat, Republican, etc.
Speaker 2: They love their children more than.
Speaker 1: They love their political party, and they see now how
Speaker 1: much better it can be, how much safer we can be,
Speaker 1: how much better life can be, and they're seeing it
Speaker 1: in concrete, tangible ways quickly.
Speaker 2: So today's another example.
Speaker 1: All it took was just properly using American power to say, oh,
Speaker 1: you cannot you cannot continue to be an accessory to
Speaker 1: this mass murder of Americans one two hundred thousand a year.
Speaker 1: Trump says today, it's probably a bigger number than that. No, no,
Speaker 1: say nation would stand for it. But we've had year
Speaker 1: after year after year of these lefties now literally trying
Speaker 1: to pull down and drag down America. I mean Barack Obama,
Speaker 1: he did at front and center at the United Nations
Speaker 1: said America is no better than any other nation on
Speaker 1: the face of the earth. The American people are no
Speaker 1: better than any other people on the face of the earth.
Speaker 1: And no world order that says America or its people
Speaker 1: are better than any other nation will succeed.
Speaker 3: No world order that elevates one nation or group of
Speaker 3: people over another will succeed.
Speaker 2: So that's become the left rallying cry. Power among nations
Speaker 2: will hold.
Speaker 1: That's been the left rallying cry. And you can see
Speaker 1: everything they've done to make that reality, and Trump's reversing
Speaker 1: it and reversing it quickly. You know, it's interesting Ryan
Speaker 1: that line from Hamilton about Alexander Hamilton, who died young.
Speaker 1: Why does he write like he's running out of time?
Speaker 1: And that's what we see with President Trump. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's acting now like a man who doesn't have much time,
Speaker 1: and he's getting all these great things done quickly. Is
Speaker 1: that because he miraculously and there's no other explanation survived
Speaker 1: that assassination attempt in Butler and then a second one.
Speaker 2: Is it because that.
Speaker 1: He knows that under best of circumstances, he's really got
Speaker 1: the first two years of this term to accomplish most
Speaker 1: of what he wants to accomplish before attention starts to
Speaker 1: turn following the midterms, whatever it is, it's a magnificent
Speaker 1: thing to behold. Not perfect, but no human endeavor ever
Speaker 1: will be, but the best I've ever seen. So I
Speaker 1: think to help celebrate that as we go to the
Speaker 1: phone lines and text today, we are going to get
Speaker 1: messages randomly throughout the show from President Trump thanks to
Speaker 1: this wonderful gift I got at the office.
Speaker 2: I think they got it at Staples.
Speaker 1: Energy and Bold Spirit make me tingle inside. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: anytime you want to pick me up Ran at the office,
Speaker 1: you just press this thing.
Speaker 2: I love it. You like an American eagle, spread your
Speaker 2: wings and fly.
Speaker 1: You never get tired of listening to that? To you
Speaker 1: A five five zero five two five five the number
Speaker 1: text d A N five seven seven three nine. So
Speaker 1: tying into this, Uh Trump just writing like a man
Speaker 1: who's running out of time, and we all are right.
Speaker 1: I remember, Ryan, I tried to ask Amy for my birthday.
Speaker 1: I wanted her to give me one of those clocks.
Speaker 2: Have you seen them?
Speaker 1: Where you program in your birth date and some other
Speaker 1: basic demos, and then they count down the amount of
Speaker 1: time you have left in your life based upon you know,
Speaker 1: the state statistics hikes.
Speaker 2: You've never seen one of those. A. Is it supposed
Speaker 2: to make you feel like you're running out of time? No,
Speaker 2: it's supposed to to keep you motivated. I mean, you
Speaker 2: know you're going to do it.
Speaker 1: If if you're sitting there looking at the clock that says, okay,
Speaker 1: I've only got X left, you're it's likely to sit
Speaker 1: there and scroll for an hour.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you've got these life expectancy tables established by
Speaker 1: the States, So it's not going to be precise. But
Speaker 1: point about Trump accomplishing so much so quickly. Trump's stepping
Speaker 1: in on us AID. And by the way, USAID doesn't
Speaker 1: actually stand for us AID, it's referring to foreign assistance programs. Anyway,
Speaker 1: you've probably heard a lot of this over the last
Speaker 1: twenty four hours as the Trump administration has stepped in
Speaker 1: and said, whoa, no, no, no, we're going to we're
Speaker 1: going to take this over. We're going to stop this
Speaker 1: crazy spending. Ask me Ryan, who in the PR Department
Speaker 1: on the left decided that the best spokesperson for USAID
Speaker 1: would be Ilhan Omar out of Minnesota. I am exceptionally
Speaker 1: upset about USAID.
Speaker 2: I lived in a refugee camp for four years as
Speaker 2: a child surviving civil war. It is the essential programs
Speaker 2: that USA provided that kept my family and I fit
Speaker 2: and safe.
Speaker 1: Now, listen, USAID has done some very good work. Based
Speaker 1: on the reports I've been seeing over the last twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, it looks like it's done some bad work also.
Speaker 1: But the fact that USAID is responsible for ilhan Omar
Speaker 1: being here ilhan Omar, I'm not sure that's the best
Speaker 1: selling point for USAID, based upon the fact that my
Speaker 1: constitutionally protected opinion. She's a person who doesn't like America,
Speaker 1: and it seems to me that our foreign age should
Speaker 1: be spent on people who either like America or at
Speaker 1: least aren't so negative toward America, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But Hey, USAID has done a lot of good things
Speaker 1: for a lot of needy people. But from everything I've
Speaker 1: learned recently, it's also done a lot of bad stuff.
Speaker 2: So what's wrong with the light of day? What's wrong?
Speaker 2: To get into the bottom of it? Eight five five
Speaker 2: for zero five A two five to five. The number.
Speaker 1: The fact the left is panicking like this tells you
Speaker 1: everything you need to know, right, everything you need to know,
Speaker 1: And it makes me believe those people are out there
Speaker 1: saying that USAID is in large part of slush fund
Speaker 1: for the left. May very well be right. I want
Speaker 1: to do this, I want to come back. I promised
Speaker 1: the next segment to callers will mix in some of
Speaker 1: these texts as well, and I'll tell you about this
Speaker 1: great new poll out of Colorado that confirms that I've
Speaker 1: been saying, and the poll was not done from the right,
Speaker 1: not at all, that that confirms the worm is turning
Speaker 1: in Colorado? Is it going to turn fast enough for
Speaker 1: the GOP to win in twenty six Here on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2: I mean, like he's running out of time. It's a
Speaker 2: beautiful thing to behold.
Speaker 1: Have we ever seen any presidency this much, this fast,
Speaker 1: so many victories and victories that matter. I mean today
Speaker 1: the headline on CNN six o'clock Eastern Canada bends the
Speaker 1: knee like Mexico. They both did today because Trump imposed
Speaker 1: a tariffs, So now very concrete ways they're going to
Speaker 1: close that border down and close it down a fentanyl
Speaker 1: and a lot of Americans are going to be saved.
Speaker 2: But insane that we hadn't.
Speaker 1: Insisted on that before eight five to five for five
Speaker 1: eight two five five, we''t turning in Colorado. Also a
Speaker 1: poll from the left, not the right. Denver Post writes
Speaker 1: it up in a warning for Colorado Democrats. A new
Speaker 1: poll shows their popularity slipping. Now, what in the heart
Speaker 1: of the poll is Colorado's now properly identify the Republican
Speaker 1: Party as the party of the working class and the
Speaker 1: party with the solutions to economic problems. Now, Democrats still
Speaker 1: have about a seven point generic lead in the poll,
Speaker 1: but it's that underlying conclusion that matters most because once
Speaker 1: people start to see the truth like that, the biggest
Speaker 1: thing it means is that they're now seeing many more
Speaker 1: credit Party in Colorado for what it is. And once
Speaker 1: the scales fall off the eyes and they can see
Speaker 1: that reality, then all you need is a really great
Speaker 1: GOP candidate and then you got a chance. You know,
Speaker 1: still very uphill battle right, deep blue Colorado. But what movie, Ryan,
Speaker 1: is that line from? And how come we don't have
Speaker 1: it on our our bumps? Here the line? So you're
Speaker 1: saying I've got a chance.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's uh, dumb and dumber, dumb and dummer
Speaker 2: our third date. If I remember the timing right.
Speaker 3: The fact that she endured that with you.
Speaker 2: Did she like the movie? No?
Speaker 4: Okay, but she at least went both times, and then
Speaker 4: continue to go on dates the theater.
Speaker 1: So see you football game? So you see SU game
Speaker 1: was our first date?
Speaker 3: Are you really testing your battle game?
Speaker 2: Two days later Monday night football? Oh yeah?
Speaker 1: Then Presidential debate a few nights later. Oh wow, when
Speaker 1: she watched it on like a seven inch TV at
Speaker 1: her house, and I thought, there's no hope for this
Speaker 1: relationship because if you go to my house at that
Speaker 1: time and I'm living alone, I'm a bacher. I've got
Speaker 1: one fork, one knife, one plate, my dog, I've got
Speaker 1: a lazy boy. I got the big screen TV I
Speaker 1: left at the money my grandfather left me when he died.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: But then I've got a TV in like in my bathroom,
Speaker 1: like where you'd sit down. I got TVs everywhere. She
Speaker 1: has this one little six inch TV. And I thought,
Speaker 1: this is a no hope.
Speaker 3: And three utensils, three TV.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, But.
Speaker 1: She came around then I did too, Eric here on
Speaker 1: the Dan Kapla Show, and then we'll get to these
Speaker 1: great texts.
Speaker 2: How you doing, my friend? Hey, how's it going but
Speaker 2: I am living a dream. How about you all?
Speaker 5: Pretty good? Hey, Dan, I wanted to tell you something
Speaker 5: real quick, and I believe this has been true about
Speaker 5: the state of Colorado even before this last election and
Speaker 5: just recently. But I have heard that there are polls
Speaker 5: that indicate that in the state of Colorado many people
Speaker 5: would be willing to vote for a moderate, middle of
Speaker 5: the road Republican as opposed to you know, a Maga
Speaker 5: Republican or an extremely religious Christian conservative Republican. But I
Speaker 5: believe that now you are saying what would be a
Speaker 5: good candidate. But I believe now if you guys could
Speaker 5: run a more moderate, middle of the road Republicans, you
Speaker 5: got a fairly good chance of getting somebody elected. You know, well,
Speaker 5: how would.
Speaker 1: You, Eric, thank you for this call. How would you
Speaker 1: define that a moderate middle of the road Republican.
Speaker 5: I would say a Republican more like maybe Mitt Romney
Speaker 5: or John McCain, or somebody who does not espouse an
Speaker 5: extremely religious type conservative ideology or now a man type Republican.
Speaker 5: I don't think a Mago type Republican or an extremely
Speaker 5: religious Republican would win, but somebody who is willing to
Speaker 5: compromise on some of the ideologies.
Speaker 2: You know, what about abortion?
Speaker 1: What position would the GOP candidate in your view, need
Speaker 1: to have an abortion in order to win.
Speaker 5: I would say that they probably would have to bend
Speaker 5: some on that. I don't if they were real hardcore
Speaker 5: abortion is wrong, it sho be outlawed. I don't think
Speaker 5: that would fly because the demographics of the state have
Speaker 5: changed a lot.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to jump in for one second only
Speaker 1: because of timing and we're coming up toward the end
Speaker 1: of the segment, but happy to continue this beyond the end.
Speaker 1: And thank you for the call, Eric, because I know
Speaker 1: there are plenty of smart people who would make the
Speaker 1: same argument that you're making. But what well, Ryan, thank you.
Speaker 1: Ryan just told my thundered.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But Eric, I believe now more than ever. And
Speaker 1: let's say three months ago, my first response to you
Speaker 1: would have been the same as Ryan's just was Joe
Speaker 1: O'Day right, because the GOP tried that and it obviously
Speaker 1: didn't work. But what I would argue to you, my friend,
Speaker 1: is that after the election of Donald Trump in November,
Speaker 1: and after all the good things that have happened since then,
Speaker 1: I feel even more strongly now.
Speaker 2: No disrespect intended, but really the polar.
Speaker 1: Opposite of where you're at right now, because I think
Speaker 1: right now, the very best chance to win in Colorado,
Speaker 1: and it would not be guaranteed, is to provide this
Speaker 1: very clear contrast. And my belief is that if people
Speaker 1: agree with you on a couple of the most important
Speaker 1: things to them, they'll vote for you even though they
Speaker 1: disagree with you on plenty of other things, and they'll
Speaker 1: really respect the fact that you are honest with them
Speaker 1: about the things you disagree on, and that you have
Speaker 1: good reasons for the things you disagree on. So this
Speaker 1: pole we've been talking about, I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: had a chance to see it yet, this keating pole
Speaker 1: in the Denver Post. The fact that Colorado's now see
Speaker 1: Republicans as the party of the working people eric and
Speaker 1: of economic solutions, I think shows there's been a major
Speaker 1: breakthrough here. So I think it'd be a huge mistake
Speaker 1: for the GOP to run somebody who's trying to go
Speaker 1: soft in the middle. I think it's Hey, there is
Speaker 1: a clear contrast here. And then two things, on the
Speaker 1: issue of religion and on the issue of abortion, two
Speaker 1: separate issues that intersect at some point on the issue
Speaker 1: of religion, I respectfully disagree with you. I think it's
Speaker 1: bizarre that this state that has such active religious communities
Speaker 1: has elected you know, multiple people now you know who
Speaker 1: that don't see things quite the same way. And I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about whether somebody is Christian versus Jewish, versus
Speaker 1: Buddha versus.
Speaker 2: Something else, none of that stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about whether people have their faith, whatever
Speaker 1: it may be, at the center of their life, and
Speaker 1: whether it is it is what forms their moral core.
Speaker 1: So I think Colorado right now would be very, very
Speaker 1: receptive to a person of faith, openly of faith, who
Speaker 1: lives their faith, even if people don't have the same faith.
Speaker 1: And then on abortion, Eric, I think there's been a
Speaker 1: sea change on that, and I think right now, with
Speaker 1: what Colorado has done an abortion, putting it in the constitution,
Speaker 1: I think to a very large extent that issues off
Speaker 1: the table, and the Democrats have aborted themselves because what
Speaker 1: we just saw in the last election is the Democrats
Speaker 1: centered in an abortion and they got aborted because you
Speaker 1: had so many voters who voted for the pro abortion
Speaker 1: side of state initiatives and then voted for the Republican
Speaker 1: candidates because they liked the Republican candidates and everything else,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: They could take care of their beliefs on abortion over here.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry they have those beliefs on abortion, but
Speaker 1: that issue now is not going to work for the
Speaker 1: Democrats the way it has in the past.
Speaker 2: But hey, you're welcome to stay, Eric.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you calling on this. It's a really important issue.
Speaker 1: We can continue after the break if you want.
Speaker 2: But think about that.
Speaker 1: Think about all these places now Republicans gained in very
Speaker 1: pro abortion areas.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Capla.
Speaker 3: Shop, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: I went through so much.
Speaker 4: I dedicated myself to sobriety, and God told me that
Speaker 4: I would be rewarded and.
Speaker 2: That he was so merri just how good it can get.
Speaker 2: And I have to thank God.
Speaker 1: I need to thank my beautiful mother for quoting me.
Speaker 2: How cool was that that sto? She right? Last night
Speaker 2: at the Grammys? Did you watch the Grammys? Absolutely not?
Speaker 2: I mean you you are like Music's Wikipedia. How do
Speaker 2: you not watch that has nothing to do with you?
Speaker 4: You got Trevor Noah already talking about how this might
Speaker 4: be the last award show I ever host.
Speaker 2: But that stuff, that's that's child stuff.
Speaker 4: I mean, Beyonce one for Best Country Music exactly, thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, but that was she looked mortified by the
Speaker 1: way because everybody what that was?
Speaker 2: No, and yeah, that was that was outrageous. She knew that.
Speaker 2: Everybody else knew it.
Speaker 4: But Alicia Keys and so many others. But the whole crap,
Speaker 4: we're sick of the tougher than that.
Speaker 2: We're tepic.
Speaker 1: I've been married to a Democrat or somebody tells me
Speaker 1: gotta be sick. But yeah, no, But all I'm saying
Speaker 1: is there's still a lot of interesting stuff. But my
Speaker 1: point is the reason I played that sound is, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's a rapper. She's one rapper of the year. I
Speaker 1: think she's a third woman never win it. And you
Speaker 1: know her performance, you know, the choreographed performance at times
Speaker 1: just seemed kind of like a mass simulated orgy. But
Speaker 1: the point being that she starts it by thanking God.
Speaker 1: And this goes to our wonderful earlier caller who disagrees
Speaker 1: with me and thinks that GOP needs to moderate in
Speaker 1: Colorado to win statewide, and somebody who's less openly religious etc.
Speaker 1: I think it's exactly the opposite. And I think part
Speaker 1: of what's happened through Donald Trump prevailing over all of
Speaker 1: those forces aligned against him, and Trump then gaining so
Speaker 1: much credibility and admiration in the process, even from a
Speaker 1: lot of people never admit it, and then all these
Speaker 1: successes Trump has had, including today, I think what you've
Speaker 1: had is more and more people being wanting to be
Speaker 1: so much more open and public about God. You know,
Speaker 1: Trump's standing up, they're in crediting God for saving him
Speaker 1: in Butler and saying in the is a inaugural address,
Speaker 1: you know that God saved him to make America great again. See,
Speaker 1: so many more people are speaking about God publicly, whether
Speaker 1: it's sporting events, whether it's what you just saw last night.
Speaker 1: I think this is a real awakening in America and
Speaker 1: a real sea change moment in America that probably only
Speaker 1: comes around once every fifty or one hundred years if
Speaker 1: you're lucky. And so I think our earlier caller, who
Speaker 1: was wonderful and the way he presented his case, I
Speaker 1: think he's dead wrong in that. I think the ideal
Speaker 1: GOP candidate is going to be someone who is very
Speaker 1: strong in their beliefs, very direct and unequivocal about what.
Speaker 2: They believe and why.
Speaker 1: It's going to be somebody who's a champion of the
Speaker 1: working class and has very clear and specific ways they're
Speaker 1: going to serve the working people of Colorado.
Speaker 2: It's somebody of deep faith. It can be any faith,
Speaker 2: but it's somebody of.
Speaker 1: Deep faith who is who lives that faith. Not perfectly
Speaker 1: nobody does. But I think it's going to be that
Speaker 1: kind of strong candidate. That's that is such a contrast
Speaker 1: with what the left puts up right now. And here's
Speaker 1: the premise, and I think it's undeniable, and ninety nine
Speaker 1: percent of all politicians are afraid of it. But that's
Speaker 1: why so many lose races they should win. I was
Speaker 1: a Democrat for years. I know democrats.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of Democrats who will.
Speaker 1: Vote for somebody they disagree with on lots of things
Speaker 1: as long as they agree with you on something important.
Speaker 2: Enough to them.
Speaker 1: And if you stand right up and you don't try
Speaker 1: to soft pedal the beliefs they disagree with you on,
Speaker 1: and you shoot straight on those and you back them up, well,
Speaker 1: don't respect that, it will be a plus for you,
Speaker 1: not a minus.
Speaker 4: Yes, there's an example too, Dan that I can point
Speaker 4: to a state that used to be similarly purple to Colorado,
Speaker 4: which now leans blue. But at one time they might
Speaker 4: Florida might have been to the left of Colorado, might
Speaker 4: have been a little blue, or definitely pers might lead Democrat
Speaker 4: who won there by twenty points. Ron DeSantis a rock
Speaker 4: rod conservative. I knew how to articulate the message. And
Speaker 4: to your point, Dan, you're exactly right. And I go
Speaker 4: back to the Joe Day race. We offered up a
Speaker 4: Democrat light candidate, and guess what the unaffiliateds in the middle,
Speaker 4: they went with the Demograph. Yeah, a choice in Democrat
Speaker 4: and Democrat Light. They're going to vote for Democrat.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Joe Day was probably the single most appealing personally,
Speaker 1: professionally type candidate in that lane you will ever find
Speaker 1: yep right, successful businessman, admirable in many ways, really cool guy,
Speaker 1: and he was exactly what so many have been arguing
Speaker 1: the GOP needed, you know, but he just needs to
Speaker 1: be pro choices in that and he got obliterated. You
Speaker 1: won't have a better version of that kind of GOP candidate.
Speaker 1: That is not the answer, you know, Like Ryan says,
Speaker 1: and it's just obvious, right if if Colorad's want Democrat light,
Speaker 1: they'll elect the Democrat. I think Coloraden's more than ever
Speaker 1: is it enough only one way to find out, but
Speaker 1: more than ever, I think Democrats want that clear choice
Speaker 1: eight F five for zero five A two five five
Speaker 1: the number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: Let's get to some of those texts.
Speaker 1: Dan, how many hearts did you break when you proposed
Speaker 1: to Amy? So many young men thinking they had a chance. Well,
Speaker 1: that's for sure, and some of them still follow her around.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know, so there were off She had
Speaker 1: an awful lot of suitors, but only made one mistake
Speaker 1: that I know of, and thank god she did, Dan,
Speaker 1: Americans were abused by the left.
Speaker 2: Now the president loves us. Dan.
Speaker 1: Is this guy for real? Maybe we should run list
Speaker 1: chain here. Mitt Romney, a middle of the road Republican
Speaker 1: is a Democrat. More importantly, a middle of the road
Speaker 1: Republican isn't enough of a contrast from what we have
Speaker 1: now to be able to win in Colorado? Because here's
Speaker 1: what everybody's missing in that Ryan, I submit to you,
Speaker 1: and that is you need a candidate with the ability
Speaker 1: to persuade the only way a GOP candidate's going to win.
Speaker 1: And you got to be hitting on every other cylinder too,
Speaker 1: But you got to be able to persuade people to.
Speaker 2: Change some minds.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's not easy, but it's going to have to
Speaker 1: happen if the GOP candidate's going to win statewide.
Speaker 4: And following the Oday theory as it applies to a
Speaker 4: Mitt romneya Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger whoever else, never
Speaker 4: Trump Republican. For every vote you might pick up in
Speaker 4: the middle, and I stress the word might, you might not,
Speaker 4: you will lose a member of the base like a
Speaker 4: Kelly Coucher or somebody out there is a trunk a
Speaker 4: strong Trump's what a great point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because because Ryan, I got to tell you right now,
Speaker 1: and as a pro lifer, as a pro lifer, if
Speaker 1: somebody is not strongly pro life, they are losing a large,
Speaker 1: large chunk of those votes. Because for pro lifers, listen,
Speaker 1: it's a thankless position to take. You're not going to
Speaker 1: make money being a pro lifer. You're not going to
Speaker 1: be the cool kid at the party and everything else
Speaker 1: being a pro lifer. You're a pro lifer because you
Speaker 1: know that's an innocent human life that's being killed. And
Speaker 1: so for a pro lifer, when your motivation and you're
Speaker 1: voting is that pure, you ain't voting for somebody who's
Speaker 1: not a pro lifer, right, I mean so, so there
Speaker 1: no GOP candidate has any chance to win unless they
Speaker 1: are clearly an unequivocally pro life. Now others would say,
Speaker 1: like our wonderful earlier caller, then they can't win statewide,
Speaker 1: but that's bogus. We know that first they have. I
Speaker 1: mean Corey Gardner. I know it was ten years ago,
Speaker 1: but Corey on a bashed pro lifer he won in
Speaker 1: Colorado beat Mark you'dell who limb Bartell's wonderful political professional.
Speaker 1: Nobody's accused of being a conservative. Limb Bardo's labeled him
Speaker 1: Mark Uterus because that's all he wanted to talk talk about.
Speaker 1: And it's just like the Democrats just lost in so
Speaker 1: many pro abortion places and now in Colorado that it's
Speaker 1: in the constitution, I think that issue has largely gone
Speaker 1: for Democrats and people for whom that is the biggest
Speaker 1: thing on the table that's been taken care of in
Speaker 1: the Constitution. And now I think a lot of those
Speaker 1: people and they proved it how they voted in.
Speaker 2: The last election other places.
Speaker 1: You know, you had a lot of people who were
Speaker 1: voting pro abortion on the state initiatives, and I wish
Speaker 1: they hadn't, And over time, I believe enough minds can
Speaker 1: be changed on that. But they're voting pro abortion on
Speaker 1: the state initiatives, and then they were voting for Republicans
Speaker 1: for governor, senator, etc. Because they want that other stuff
Speaker 1: that conservatives bring. So I think the Democrats have aborted themselves,
Speaker 1: and about time to deliver that message. Eight five five
Speaker 1: zero five eight two five five the number one Quebec.
Speaker 1: So many wonderful text calls, and finally I'm vindicating after
Speaker 1: all these years.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2: I want to tell you, Gorzatz. I want to tell
Speaker 2: you Kavanaugh, you.
Speaker 4: Have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price.
Speaker 2: You won't know what hits you.
Speaker 4: You won't know what hit you if you go forward
Speaker 4: with these awful decisions.
Speaker 1: Direct set of violence. That's what an insurrection looks like.
Speaker 1: I've been saying it on air forever. I played that
Speaker 1: sound more exponentially than any outlet in America, because that's
Speaker 1: an insurrection, that is a direct threat of violence. And
Speaker 1: so how does Schumer go unprosecuted for that? Listen, I
Speaker 1: don't think he ever will be prosecuted, but at least
Speaker 1: there's some recognition of his criminality here. And this is
Speaker 1: a letter, and it's getting a bunch of press. US
Speaker 1: Department of Justice now. Edward Martin is the acting US
Speaker 1: Attorney for DC District of Columbia, obviously a real big job,
Speaker 1: and he wrote to Schumer, Dear Senator Schumer, as United
Speaker 1: States Attorney for the District of Columbia, I receive requests
Speaker 1: for information and clarification. I take these requests seriously and
Speaker 1: act on them. With letters like this one you are
Speaker 1: receiving at this time, I respectfully request that you clarify
Speaker 1: your comments from March four, twenty twenty. Your comments were
Speaker 1: at a private rally off the campus of the US Capital.
Speaker 2: You made them.
Speaker 1: Clearly and in a way that many found threatening. Your
Speaker 1: exact words were, I want to tell you Gorsic. I
Speaker 1: want to tell you Kevanaugh, you have released the whirlwind
Speaker 1: and you will pay the price. You won't know what
Speaker 1: hits you if you go forward with these awful decisions.
Speaker 1: We take these threats against public officials very seriously. I
Speaker 1: look forward to your cooperation with my letter of inquiry
Speaker 1: after request. Should you have further questions regarding this matter,
Speaker 1: please do not hesitate to call my office or schedule
Speaker 1: a time to meet in person. Thank you all the best, Sincerely,
Speaker 1: Edward Martin, Junior United States Attorney. So how do you
Speaker 1: interpret that, Ryan, my friend?
Speaker 4: I think it's at least getting it on the record.
Speaker 4: And do you think Senator Schumer will even respond to that?
Speaker 4: Is he compelled to do so legally or is it
Speaker 4: just in his best interest to ignore it?
Speaker 2: Oh? I think it's in his best interest to respond
Speaker 2: to him. I mean right now.
Speaker 1: And this is part of the effectiveness of Trump right
Speaker 1: and it's one of the reasons we had to this
Speaker 1: piece and prosperity in his first term is his opponents
Speaker 1: don't know what he might do. And the starting point
Speaker 1: is Schumer's guilty. Schumer's guilty that that is a credible threat,
Speaker 1: He's guilty, and so if he wants to take the
Speaker 1: chance now by not responding, I think what that letter.
Speaker 2: I think what that.
Speaker 1: Letter says is listen, give me some kind of credible
Speaker 1: response and there won't be any further action taken. But
Speaker 1: if each chooses to ignore it, right, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's the tone of that letter. Maybe I'm wrong, because
Speaker 1: that should be prosecuted. I'm not saying Schumer has to
Speaker 1: be locked up or anything like that, but that's a
Speaker 1: credible threat in my view against it is specifically named
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court justices. If they don't vote the way
Speaker 1: that this Democrat leader is telling them to vote, and.
Speaker 4: Let's not forget there was, they would be assassin outside
Speaker 4: the home of Justice Kavanaugh. And further that point, Dan,
Speaker 4: the definition of a moderate justice, which would be Chief
Speaker 4: Justice John Roberts gave a stinging rebuke to Chuck Schumer
Speaker 4: for those remarks. Yeah, so that should tell you a
Speaker 4: lot too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, absolutely, I want to get to some more
Speaker 1: here before the end.
Speaker 2: Sorry too long.
Speaker 1: Dan.
Speaker 2: Let's go in on a badly.
Speaker 1: Made bust of George Brockler and then do a ceremony
Speaker 1: to present it to him. We can have a real
Speaker 1: one on the side. It would be worth it for
Speaker 1: hearing George's witty comments that from Alexa. We had George
Speaker 1: on earlier Marketi's the first da of the new twenty
Speaker 1: third because Douglas now has its own judicial district, obviously,
Speaker 1: along with the wonderful people of Alberton, Lincoln and Arapo,
Speaker 1: who has its own and butt tremendous dinner on Friday night.
Speaker 1: I don't get out that often because I'm so buried
Speaker 1: in trial prep. But I went to the Repo County
Speaker 1: Bar Association dinner on Friday night. It was awesome, and
Speaker 1: they were honoring the judges and retiring judges, one of
Speaker 1: whom has come to work at our firm, Kajardo Lindsay
Speaker 1: and so Kajarda was being honored and we were all there.
Speaker 1: What a cool dinner. But yeah, George, now, two hundred
Speaker 1: years from now, when they're talking about the history of
Speaker 1: the twenty third, George will have been the first there.
Speaker 1: My new partner, John Kellner now managing partner at a firm.
Speaker 1: John did a phenomenal job as DA in the combined
Speaker 1: to Rapo, Douglas, Lincoln, etc. But now Douglas on its own.
Speaker 1: Dan one of her Polish Jason Crow or anyone say
Speaker 1: that most immigrants are not criminals, I want to reply,
Speaker 1: the majority of drunk drivers don't get into accidents either.
Speaker 1: I've never understood this mentality of the left list and
Speaker 1: we all know what they're doing. Right, The left has
Speaker 1: decided that you and your family are an acceptable casualty rate.
Speaker 1: The left decided long ago they knew. The Left knew
Speaker 1: if they just open up the borders the way they
Speaker 1: have that along with the otherwise good people coming in,
Speaker 1: would be plenty of bad people who would commit plenty
Speaker 1: of rapes and murderers, etc. And the Left just decided
Speaker 1: that's an acceptable casualty rate because they want they believe
Speaker 1: that these folks flooding in illegally are eventually gonna become
Speaker 1: legalized voters. That's their game. But obviously the barbarity of
Speaker 1: that approach, when real girls and women are being raped
Speaker 1: and real people are being killed, etc. By the bad
Speaker 1: ones who come in, I think America is rejecting that
Speaker 1: whole hog. So you now have these lefties out there
Speaker 1: trying to say, well, it's a small percentage of those
Speaker 1: who come here.
Speaker 2: Whatever. Wait a second.
Speaker 1: That The point is it is immoral to support a
Speaker 1: policy that you know is going to get innocent people raped, murdered, assaulted,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And that's what the Left has done. And
Speaker 1: the best they can offer the American people or the
Speaker 1: Colorado voter is. But but yeah, most of them don't
Speaker 1: do that. No, I think the American people are rejecting
Speaker 1: that wholesale right now, Dan, stick with Sirloine. I bet George.
Speaker 1: I bet George a very expensive Tomahawk ribbi, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, I do not order. Those Tomahawk ribbis have
Speaker 1: gotten so expensive. I told Ryan, he thinks I'm joking. Well, no, no,
Speaker 1: if you go out tonight, I saw you one by
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, we're going to I'm going to go
Speaker 1: have a burger tonight with the buddy Emmy's out of
Speaker 1: town at a steak place.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have some burgers.
Speaker 1: But the Tomahawk on that menu will be one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty dollars.
Speaker 2: We will not get that. We will not get that.
Speaker 1: That is more than twice what I paid for my
Speaker 1: first car, True story, only car I ever made money. Ryan,
Speaker 1: Thank you, another great job, Kelly, You're the best. And
Speaker 1: prayers for Kelly's dad, who's fighting a tough battle right now.
Speaker 1: We'll keep you posted on that. Please join us tomorrow
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kapla Show.
