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. Wow. What a
Speaker 1: beautiful spring day. Glad you are here at four oh six,
Speaker 1: and all you can do is say thank you. All
Speaker 1: you can do is say thank you to this absolute
Speaker 1: blank show which has become the modern Democratic Party right because,
Speaker 1: you know, a Trump administration, they're rolling along, they're racking
Speaker 1: up the w's. Okay, it was a mistake, was signaled,
Speaker 1: a mistake to use it, et cetera. And then the
Speaker 1: Democrats just totally balling them out, you know, by making
Speaker 1: this stuff the whole sole focus of the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: right now, right this is this is like Watergate all
Speaker 1: over again. And all I can say is thank you,
Speaker 1: because you know what, the American people don't care about
Speaker 1: this at all. What the American people care about is
Speaker 1: that there was a highly confident, a beautiful, carried out,
Speaker 1: successful action against terrorists. And that's what the American people
Speaker 1: care about. So the Democratic Party, which is just obviously
Speaker 1: in a doom loop right now. It's spinning out of control.
Speaker 1: It can't help itself, and so all it's doing right
Speaker 1: now is both helping the GOP by by focusing more
Speaker 1: attention on this, helping Trump by focusing more attention on this,
Speaker 1: and hurting themselves. It's like they're pro terrorists. Oh this
Speaker 1: is horrible, this is horrible that this thing happened. And
Speaker 1: so that's how it comes across, right while well they're
Speaker 1: ostensibly talking about, oh, this egregious breach of national security,
Speaker 1: there are two people in America who are going to
Speaker 1: take the Democrats seriously on that. Because whether it was
Speaker 1: Jason Crow or any of these other phonies, none of
Speaker 1: them were out there. None of them were out there
Speaker 1: hammering Hillary Clinton, who should have been prosecuted, you know,
Speaker 1: none of them were out there hammering Joe Biden, who
Speaker 1: should have been prosecuted. So they have no credibility. So
Speaker 1: all they're doing is right. At the same time, they're
Speaker 1: undermining their own credibility. They're focusing the attention of the
Speaker 1: American people on a successful mission to wipe out terrorists
Speaker 1: and open a shipping lane. So thank you Modern Democratic
Speaker 1: Party and Jason Crow a part of that. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is so much fun to watch now, right, because
Speaker 1: you got Colorado. You got Colorado where you've got these
Speaker 1: Democrats scrambling to be governor, and I would bet behind
Speaker 1: the scenes some people trying to find a way to
Speaker 1: push Chicken Looper out because both governor and the US
Speaker 1: Senate seat are up in this cycle, and Jason Crow
Speaker 1: is desperately trying to get some traction. You've got Michael
Speaker 1: Bennett out there, I think, pretty clearly running for governor
Speaker 1: at this point. You've got Phil Wiser, and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: wait a second. I thought that the Colorado Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: I thought they were holier than now. I thought they
Speaker 1: were so enlightened and so woke, and look down at
Speaker 1: the rest of us, right, because we're not enlightened like
Speaker 1: they are, and all their big jobs are going to
Speaker 1: these boring old white guys. So they're spinning around and
Speaker 1: Crow's trying to figure out how to get some traction
Speaker 1: in the middle of that. So he comes out and
Speaker 1: says all this goofy stuff. So it's a gift. It's
Speaker 1: a gift to those of us who want to see
Speaker 1: Trump succeed. It's a gift to the Republican Party. It's
Speaker 1: even a gift to Republicans' chances in Colorado. So I
Speaker 1: just want to open the show by saying thank you.
Speaker 1: Another thank you I want to put out there is
Speaker 1: to just the incredibly impressive men and women of the
Speaker 1: Jeffico County Sheriff's Office, because I was over at the
Speaker 1: jail today. I was taking the deposition of a trucker
Speaker 1: and a fatal crash case, and I just could not
Speaker 1: have been more impressed. I mean that the Sheriff's office
Speaker 1: running that jail, the way they ran the jail, the
Speaker 1: way they handled all the logistics, because this is a
Speaker 1: big challenge, this is a big challenge. Or a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of attorneys, a whole bunch of other people, you know,
Speaker 1: we all had to be there while I took this
Speaker 1: deposition of this trucker, and I could not believe how
Speaker 1: beautifully run that jail is and just how impressive each
Speaker 1: of the sheriff's officers were individually. So, you know, just
Speaker 1: makes you proud, and it just confirms what I've known
Speaker 1: since I was a little kid, right because my dad
Speaker 1: was a great cop in Chicago, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: the best in the bravest. You know, we've got them.
Speaker 1: We've got them in law enforcement, fire, we've got him
Speaker 1: in military, and you know, we just need to do
Speaker 1: more as a society to like tangibly appreciate that three
Speaker 1: or three someone three eight two five five the number
Speaker 1: text d A N five seven seven three nine. And
Speaker 1: it'll be probably a subject for another show. But I
Speaker 1: think there are some real big structural things, you know,
Speaker 1: not just lip service and the occasional nice thing here
Speaker 1: and there, but structural changes we have to make as
Speaker 1: a state. You know, I'd love to see it as
Speaker 1: a nation, but to support law enforcement in very, very
Speaker 1: concrete ways that can help reverse what's happening here right
Speaker 1: which is this war the left is waging against law
Speaker 1: enforcement in our state, which undermines them and obviously undermines
Speaker 1: our safety in ways we've talked about on the show.
Speaker 1: So I hope that's one of the biggest issues going
Speaker 1: forward in these races in Colorado because it should be Wow,
Speaker 1: so much great sound today. How are you doing there?
Speaker 2: Ryan?
Speaker 1: I did not get to hear you because I just
Speaker 1: got out of that deposition. But what are you up to?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you look like you're working hard, You're dressed to
Speaker 3: the nines. I respect that highly.
Speaker 1: And ordered the pizza that Kelly's down there. Well, thank you, Kelly.
Speaker 1: Oh don't eat that. Play.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 1: You're doing prep work here after the show? Well, well
Speaker 1: I got to go back to work, but there was
Speaker 1: no launch. Breakfast was really really early today because of prep.
Speaker 3: So you're doing prep, you come to the show two hours,
Speaker 3: and then you're going right back to doing more prep.
Speaker 1: Is that's legal work? Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, but you know how it is, and well,
Speaker 1: you know, nature the Beast.
Speaker 3: But yeah, we really got going on the Jason Crow stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh man, Now here's the question I have for you
Speaker 3: in you make the analysis and it's coach, and it's
Speaker 3: on point that you know he's trying to get his
Speaker 3: name out there. But my question is, why do you
Speaker 3: think he's running for the open Senate seat that Bennett
Speaker 3: is vacating to run for governor.
Speaker 1: Well, I think Jason Crow has reached the Madonna posing
Speaker 1: naked with animals point. Do you guys remember that? I
Speaker 1: sure do. Madonna and Jason Crow. I mean, he never
Speaker 1: had that Madonna phase where she was real popular. Some
Speaker 1: people may be old enough to remember that. But there
Speaker 1: was a point at which she was making some good music.
Speaker 1: She was very popular. Then she started to fade, and
Speaker 1: so she started to take all of her clothes off,
Speaker 1: not all at once, but she'd get more and more naked,
Speaker 1: more and more places, just to try to stay relevant.
Speaker 1: And then she got to the point she was posing
Speaker 1: naked standing by animals, you know, So you never want
Speaker 1: to reach that naked standing by animals point. But that's
Speaker 1: where Jason Crow is now. He's and it's you know,
Speaker 1: and Bennett and boy, you know he should get beat
Speaker 1: up on this in the governor's race politically, you know,
Speaker 1: Ben and his plan is to hold on to that
Speaker 1: seat while he runs for governor, is my understanding? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And I hope the voters of Colorado take note to that, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, because if he actually does that, doesn't that
Speaker 1: tell you everything you need to know about the guy, right?
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's really so committed to the people,
Speaker 1: I mean, that doesn't he say I'm going to let
Speaker 1: somebody go do this very important job in the US
Speaker 1: Senate full time while I run for governor. And maybe
Speaker 1: he will do that, But the current reporting I've seen
Speaker 1: no he intends to keep that seat while he runs
Speaker 1: for governor, and I sure hope he does, because that'll
Speaker 1: tell everybody everything they need to know about Michael Bennett.
Speaker 1: But yes, so, Ryan, how does Crow break in here? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, you've got the flat out
Speaker 1: of hypocrisies to general a term just line of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party in Colorado, which is, yeah, we're about people
Speaker 1: of color, We're about other folks who've had to face
Speaker 1: all these challenges, and then all the top jobs go
Speaker 1: to these white guys, these privileged white guys. And so
Speaker 1: now Crow has to cut through all that. But he
Speaker 1: has to also cut through you know, Bennett and Wiser
Speaker 1: if he's looking at the governor's race, and then he
Speaker 1: has to cut through hicken Loooper if he's looking at
Speaker 1: the Senate race. He's got nowhere to go.
Speaker 3: Well, let me give him a Nichols worth of free advice.
Speaker 3: He just went on Fox News and will kine he
Speaker 3: needs to come on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 1: You know, it's so interesting to me that he won't
Speaker 1: because I've always said this, I respect Jason Crow very
Speaker 1: much for his service and special Forces, and it's it's
Speaker 1: always been so interesting to me that so many of
Speaker 1: these folks who've shown really admirable physical courage don't have
Speaker 1: intellectual courage. And that fascinates me. And I'm talking about
Speaker 1: these lefty politicians when I talk about that, he showed
Speaker 1: real physical courage in his service to our country. That
Speaker 1: deserves great praise. So how do you get a guy
Speaker 1: like that, who shows great physical courage who doesn't have
Speaker 1: any intellectual He's afraid of this little radio show. He's
Speaker 1: afraid of a talk show host. And listen, We've had
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter on the show. We've We've had plenty of
Speaker 1: big timers on the left, Bill maher Who. While the
Speaker 1: Bill maher Who, while they're wrong, they've got confidence. They're
Speaker 1: not afraid of their shadows. So why is he afraid
Speaker 1: to come on this show?
Speaker 3: But why did he feel comfortable going on with Will
Speaker 3: Caine and Fox News? I don't know that he's ever
Speaker 3: been on Fox News maybe with Cavodo.
Speaker 1: Posing naked with animals, and that's that is not a
Speaker 1: reference to a kick to Will Caine. I like Wilcaine,
Speaker 1: but just reaching that Madonna phase where you're so desperate
Speaker 1: for attention, but we'll come back, we'll get to the
Speaker 1: phone lines, we'll get to text, and we will come
Speaker 1: back and start with that Jason Crow sound. It's funny
Speaker 1: in so many different ways, but also just to look
Speaker 1: at how wild it is going to be in Colorado
Speaker 1: during this cycle. You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dankapless Show just before Yeah,
Speaker 3: like early nineties. I want to say, it's so sad
Speaker 3: a fake video.
Speaker 4: This is the beginning of Liberation Day in America. We're
Speaker 4: going to take back just some of the money that
Speaker 4: has been taken from us by people sitting behind this
Speaker 4: desk or another desk that's not quite as nice, but
Speaker 4: they have the choice of seven, as you know.
Speaker 1: And we're going.
Speaker 5: To charge countries for doing business in our country and
Speaker 5: taking our jobs, taking our wealth, taking a lot of
Speaker 5: things that they've been taken over the years.
Speaker 4: They've taken so much out of our country. Friend and foe,
Speaker 4: and frankly, Friend has been oftentimes much worse than FAE.
Speaker 4: And this is very modest. And what we're going to
Speaker 4: be doing is a twenty five percent tariff on all
Speaker 4: cars that are not made in the United States.
Speaker 1: If they're made in the United States is absolutely not.
Speaker 4: We start off with a two and a hared percent base,
Speaker 4: which is what we were at, and we go to
Speaker 4: twenty five percent, and basically, as you know, and as
Speaker 4: you've been saying, not reporting as accurately as a chippy reported,
Speaker 4: because it's a massive story, the business is coming back
Speaker 4: to the United States so that they don't have to
Speaker 4: pay tariffs. And I think also because of November fifty election,
Speaker 4: they're very happy.
Speaker 1: Wow. Got to tell you, I don't claim to be
Speaker 1: a terriff expert. I'm trying to learn a lot more
Speaker 1: about it in a hurry, but I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1: I love the intent behind this, and I think the
Speaker 1: President's very committed to it, and this is the sort
Speaker 1: of thing It excites me because if it works, it
Speaker 1: would truly be revolutionary for this nation. So I don't
Speaker 1: think he's overstating it to say this is independent state,
Speaker 1: because we all know, right when you look at the
Speaker 1: nation and all the solid, reliable manufacturing jobs that have
Speaker 1: gone overseas have really gutted so many communities and have
Speaker 1: just just undermined, you know, working people in America in
Speaker 1: such concrete ways, in the ripple effect, and you know
Speaker 1: how all that works, but the ripple effect of it, right,
Speaker 1: one woman, one guy loses that manufacturing job, the effect
Speaker 1: throughout the family and potentially for families to come if
Speaker 1: the immediate effect is severe enough and leads to some
Speaker 1: of these other awful consequences, including drug use. So I
Speaker 1: love what he's doing, and I also love what he's doing,
Speaker 1: you know, conceptually here from a national security standpoint, because
Speaker 1: we got to be making this stuff that we rely on, right.
Speaker 1: We can't be sitting here depending on China for it
Speaker 1: or even allies overseas. And when it's the greatest nation
Speaker 1: in the history of the world, and I know we
Speaker 1: say that so often it kind of becomes cliche, but
Speaker 1: I think it's important with issues like this to sit
Speaker 1: back and think about it. It is the greatest nation
Speaker 1: in the history of the world. The modern world is
Speaker 1: only free because of God in the United States of America,
Speaker 1: And so we've got to keep that in mind when
Speaker 1: we think about what does this nation need to continue
Speaker 1: to look like? And it needs to be a whole
Speaker 1: lot healthier than it is now. So I respect that
Speaker 1: guy the fact he's willing to do big, bold things
Speaker 1: to try to address some big, awful problems that are
Speaker 1: just eating away as US three or three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five text d an five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. On a much lighter note, Jason Crowe, the
Speaker 1: great question Ryan poses, why did he go on with
Speaker 1: Will Caine on Fox News when he's obviously afraid of
Speaker 1: this show, et cetera. I got a good answer to that.
Speaker 1: But let's enjoy this first together, keenk Congers.
Speaker 6: So what I'm trying to figure out today is whether
Speaker 6: or not you, guys a Democratic congressman, are genuinely interested
Speaker 6: in the national security the United States, or whether or
Speaker 6: not you're trying to score hyperbolic partisan points. So I'm
Speaker 6: sure we're going to find out your principled on this
Speaker 6: on these calls across the action. So when we had
Speaker 6: our disastrous with ralfrom Afghanistan where in thirteen Marines were killed,
Speaker 6: did you call for the resignation of Secretary Difference Lloyd Austin.
Speaker 7: Well, listen, listen here, this is yes. But what if
Speaker 7: for whatever situation.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to figure out, if you're principled and you've
Speaker 6: believed on every occasion, these are.
Speaker 7: Apples and oranges situations. These are apples and Orange situations. Right,
Speaker 7: Lloyd Austin never once in his entire career sent classified,
Speaker 7: top secret information about military plans and ommission over So
Speaker 7: you didn't extremely dangerous, extremely dangerous territory in the way
Speaker 7: that Pete hegseth is.
Speaker 1: A bit beautifully done, right, because it just exposes Crow.
Speaker 1: Because listen, obviously the amount of damage done by Biden's team,
Speaker 1: I mean real life damage like dead people, tortured people,
Speaker 1: raped people. That the damage to our nation's security, the
Speaker 1: damage strewn across the globe because of Biden's security team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jason Crowe, you know, never never had any kind of
Speaker 1: complaintor issue with that. So Kane just fully exposes them
Speaker 1: this mistake. And it was a mistake, and it was
Speaker 1: a big mistake, but this mistake didn't get anybody killed,
Speaker 1: It didn't undermine any mission. It was a one off
Speaker 1: that still hasn't been fully explained. But the difference is
Speaker 1: so obvious. You know that the Biden systematic, deliberate stuff,
Speaker 1: profound damage, and Crow never a peep about that. Right,
Speaker 1: So great job, Will Kine. But Ryan's question, Okay, so
Speaker 1: why did Crow put himself in that position? And I
Speaker 1: think here's a difference. I think these lefties will go
Speaker 1: on TV because they know there's only so much damage
Speaker 1: that can be done in the format. Right. First of all,
Speaker 1: they're hoping not to get tough questions like that that
Speaker 1: somebody persists and follows up on. But they know if
Speaker 1: it does go that way, Hey, it's a TV format,
Speaker 1: it's a two minute interview. They can do what Crow
Speaker 1: just did and they can fillibuster their way through it,
Speaker 1: no matter how nonsensical what they're saying is and yees.
Speaker 1: So maybe that interview wasn't a tend for them, but
Speaker 1: they're not going to get exposed if they go into
Speaker 1: a talk radio format and they have a host. It
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be me, but they have a host
Speaker 1: who knows what they're talking about and knows how to
Speaker 1: do follow up questions. That's where they can get totally exposed.
Speaker 1: I take kicking Loopert, right, I mean not. I can't
Speaker 1: take credit for ending his presidential campaign. He ended his
Speaker 1: presidential campaign years before it started when he took his
Speaker 1: mother to Deep throat and then CNN blow him up
Speaker 1: on that, as I predicted they would. But but you know,
Speaker 1: Hick and Looper comes on, Aaron, we're in a radio format.
Speaker 1: So when I ask him some really respectful, logical, polite,
Speaker 1: you know, but very important questions such as, Okay, if
Speaker 1: a baby's born alive after a botched abortion, should that
Speaker 1: baby have a right to medical care? In a radio format,
Speaker 1: he can't just filibuster for twenty or thirty seconds and
Speaker 1: then have an end. And so he got to the
Speaker 1: point in that interview it made national news where he
Speaker 1: had to just hand the foe to a phone to
Speaker 1: an aid and say I gotta go. So that's the
Speaker 1: thing is, whether it's Crow or hicken Looper or Polist
Speaker 1: or Bennett or fill in the blank, right, they're all
Speaker 1: living a lie. And that's why they don't come on
Speaker 1: shows like this. They're living a lie. And they know
Speaker 1: if they end up in a format where they can
Speaker 1: really be pinned down on it, again in a professional,
Speaker 1: respectful way, but pinned down on it, they'll be totally exposed.
Speaker 1: So that's why you don't see them go onto the
Speaker 1: radio format. I think that's the difference.
Speaker 3: Ryan, What do you think, Well, it would be unscripted
Speaker 3: and one on one mono imano with Dan Kaplis, And
Speaker 3: if he couldn't ferrure that well against Will Kane and
Speaker 3: he didn't imagine him coming in here.
Speaker 1: And it wouldn't have to be me. It could. There
Speaker 1: are so many I prefer it, but thank you. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are so many well informed, prepared, you know, conservative
Speaker 1: talk shows to have the skills. It could be you
Speaker 1: could be any one of a number, but they won't
Speaker 1: go on any of those shows because they're living a lie.
Speaker 1: Hey Lauren Bolbert, she's a warrior. She's with us next
Speaker 1: on the Dankpla Show.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Isn't it for our next guest, Congressman Lauren Bolbert. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 8: Again. It's great to be with you.
Speaker 1: How are you well? Thank you? I know you are
Speaker 1: incredibly busy, so grateful for the time. But let me
Speaker 1: start by asking you about something I know very little about.
Speaker 1: It's never really been on my raidar. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: learn as fast as I can. But this whole business
Speaker 1: of tarriffs, as you know, the President denouncing Independence Day,
Speaker 1: twenty five percent tariffund foreign cars coming into America. Where
Speaker 1: do you come down and all that?
Speaker 8: I think the bottom line is more industry in America.
Speaker 8: We need to be able to be independent and our
Speaker 8: ownduction here April second is supposed to be a liberation day,
Speaker 8: and that's when the tariffs are going to come into effect.
Speaker 8: And I have some folks that say, hey, we get it.
Speaker 8: There's going to be a little bit of a transition period,
Speaker 8: maybe painful for a moment, but it'll be worth it
Speaker 8: in the end because we are bringing these American jobs
Speaker 8: here where they belong. It's going to be huge for
Speaker 8: our automotive industry. I was just with some wool growers
Speaker 8: from Colorado who actually live in the West Slope but
Speaker 8: then have their sheep out in Colorado Sports District. So
Speaker 8: it's a perfect meeting with them in DC. And you know,
Speaker 8: they're excited about the tariffs because we have Australia and
Speaker 8: New Zealand has apply more than seventy percent of the
Speaker 8: land that's consumed in America. So there's definitely some pros
Speaker 8: to this. And this is how we used to fund
Speaker 8: the federal government before there ever was a federal income text.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love the idea behind it, right between,
Speaker 1: you know, getting our manufacturing base back, and that's so
Speaker 1: critical just to the health of our workers across the country,
Speaker 1: but also becoming independent, not relying on China. I love
Speaker 1: the idea behind it, and again I'm trying to learn
Speaker 1: more and we'll see how it all rolls out. When
Speaker 1: it comes to this foreign car stuff, I'm trying to remember,
Speaker 1: aren't there a bunch of American made cars where there
Speaker 1: are a lot of components made overseas and a bunch
Speaker 1: of foreign cars where a lot's done here. So it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how that all shakes out. But
Speaker 1: I'm all for bringing back car.
Speaker 8: Making to America absolutely. And this ties into our energy
Speaker 8: industry as well, so we need to be mining rare
Speaker 8: earth minerals here are those critical minerals that are necessary
Speaker 8: for the chips and so much more. We need to
Speaker 8: focus on that here and deregulate that industry tremendously so
Speaker 8: we can be that and not so reliant on China.
Speaker 8: And I hope you're hearing all the cheers in the
Speaker 8: background for tariffs. I'm actually at a park with my
Speaker 8: grandson right now, and.
Speaker 1: Correct, is this a youth sports thing or are you
Speaker 1: guys just hanging out?
Speaker 8: Where's just hanging out? Okay flew in from DC and
Speaker 8: I grabbed him and ran over to the park.
Speaker 1: Oh what a nice day. And I sure hate to
Speaker 1: infringe on that, but we're just grateful that we're good.
Speaker 1: Always get some time with you. And now before I
Speaker 1: get to this question on the signal controversy, this wolf
Speaker 1: thing is fascinating. May So you're saying that seventy percent
Speaker 1: of the lamb people eat in this country and seventy
Speaker 1: percent of the wool stuff is coming out of Australia
Speaker 1: instead of here.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so the lamb consumption, I'm not sure I would
Speaker 8: assume that's a lot of the wool as well, but
Speaker 8: the lamb consumptions, more than seventy percent is from Australia
Speaker 8: and New Zealand. And this this is something tariffs will
Speaker 8: help our our woolgrowers, our our sheep industry, these these
Speaker 8: herders to do more. But also you know, we need
Speaker 8: to look into immigration and the work visas that are
Speaker 8: that are going with that and hopefully we could get
Speaker 8: some reforms that benefit our farmers and ranchers and allow
Speaker 8: them to cut through a lot of the red tape
Speaker 8: when it comes to these work fisas so they can
Speaker 8: better care for the help that they are hiring and
Speaker 8: UH and and still prosper. So, for instance, I just
Speaker 8: learned there's almost one thousand dollars fee each time that
Speaker 8: they bring an employee over on a work visa, and
Speaker 8: that fee is for asylum cases. So it has nothing
Speaker 8: to do with what they're doing, but it goes into
Speaker 8: a bucket for asylum cases. And that's something our farmers
Speaker 8: and ranchers are on the hook for. And so you know,
Speaker 8: these are small little reforms that I would love to
Speaker 8: work on and improve for each and every one of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Congressoman learn Bobart, I guess, hey, what do you
Speaker 1: make of this signal controversy, the chat controversy?
Speaker 8: Yeah, so, I mean, we'll see what comes of it
Speaker 8: up in the end. My focus is that it was
Speaker 8: a successful mission. You see cohesiveness behind President Trump's agenda
Speaker 8: in those messages. I think it would be a totally
Speaker 8: different story if they were saying one thing in disagreement
Speaker 8: about the President behind his back, but you see that
Speaker 8: they are unified. Certainly, mistakes were made, and there needs
Speaker 8: to be a more secure and better process going forward,
Speaker 8: but it was a successful UH mission and and hopefully
Speaker 8: we can you know, get past this quickly, because there's
Speaker 8: so much greatness that President Trump is doing right now.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, I'm with you, I wish and
Speaker 1: I said every American could just read the entire techt
Speaker 1: strink because they'd come away so impressed and in terms
Speaker 1: of it going away quickly. Honestly, I think this is
Speaker 1: just hurting the Democrats and helping the Trump administration because
Speaker 1: really every day Americans, I doubt very much you're hearing
Speaker 1: much up in the fourth about up you know, whether
Speaker 1: this chat was on signal. I think people are pretty
Speaker 1: happy the mission was his success. So I think the
Speaker 1: Democrats are just hurting themselves by trying to make this
Speaker 1: the thing. But I think they're in kind of a
Speaker 1: doom loop to begin.
Speaker 8: With absolutely well, you know, and then you have them
Speaker 8: kind of just digging their own holes here because they
Speaker 8: are bringing up old stories like with Hillary Clinton into
Speaker 8: like for looking thirty thousand emails, or even or even
Speaker 8: the fact that you know, the hoo this were only
Speaker 8: a problem because of Joe Biden or even that horrible
Speaker 8: withdraw from Afghanistan. I saw an interview with Jason Crowe
Speaker 8: where he never once called up for General Millie to
Speaker 8: resign or Laurya Austin to resign after that horrible withdraw
Speaker 8: and now suddenly there's one conversation that happens on an
Speaker 8: encrypted app on government cell phones, and uh, and you
Speaker 8: know this is this is something worth calling for the resignation.
Speaker 8: President Trump's was a team here, I don't think.
Speaker 1: So see something about us as Americans. I don't know
Speaker 1: if God wired us this way or it's the product
Speaker 1: of living in a free nation where there's freedom of speech.
Speaker 1: But I think I think every American has this very
Speaker 1: sensitive antenne to hipocrisy. And for all the reasons you
Speaker 1: just mentioned and all the ways Will Caine blew up
Speaker 1: Crow today, people just get it. Democrats now coming out
Speaker 1: and screaming about, you know, something being done on a
Speaker 1: signal app. Yeah, they just don't like hypocrisy. And it's
Speaker 1: totally that from the Dems. Right now, Hey, Congressoman, in
Speaker 1: the last minute or two we have together, what's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing going on right now that isn't making headlines
Speaker 1: that people really need to know about it?
Speaker 8: Well, certainly, we're working on President Trump's big beautiful bill,
Speaker 8: and we're working on that budget reconciliation so we can
Speaker 8: codify a lot of the policies that he's doing. You know,
Speaker 8: we are up against the philibuster and the Senate, and
Speaker 8: you know, now suddenly the Democrats are praising the filibuster
Speaker 8: because because we don't have the numbers of the past
Speaker 8: single subject bills in the Senate on our own, and
Speaker 8: so we're focused on that budget reconciliation. But you know,
Speaker 8: here in the fourth District, we are focused on the
Speaker 8: price of bursaries going down, the price of eggs going down,
Speaker 8: the price of fuel going down, and having more freedom
Speaker 8: and security in our lives. Once again, I'm meeting with
Speaker 8: farmers and ranchers, County commissioners from our metropolitan areas in
Speaker 8: the fourth District to the most rural counties in the district,
Speaker 8: meeting with mayors and business owners. Were working on keeping
Speaker 8: Space Command in Colorado. Actually, Jason Crow and I have
Speaker 8: partnered on legislation to create a Space Force National Guard.
Speaker 8: Even so, there's a lot of things that we are
Speaker 8: working on that you're not going to hear about in
Speaker 8: the midst of all of the signal gate chatter.
Speaker 1: And I was sure, hope these Democrats who claim to
Speaker 1: be so determined to keep Space Command here and get
Speaker 1: more here, which we should would stop taking these completely gratuitous,
Speaker 1: you know, often completely deceptive cheap shots because how they
Speaker 1: think that cheap shotting Trump is going to help us
Speaker 1: keep and get more space for us. I don't follow
Speaker 1: that logic.
Speaker 8: You are absolutely correct, and that is something that could
Speaker 8: hurt us. And I'm working to ensure that that relationship
Speaker 8: is strong because he absolutely could sign a paper and
Speaker 8: move Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama. There are other states
Speaker 8: that are buying for it, and so we do need
Speaker 8: to be unified, especially when it comes to our military
Speaker 8: behind President Trump's agenda, and like you said, just avoid
Speaker 8: these cheap shots and keep on with the mission.
Speaker 1: Amen to that. Well, Hey, thanks for carving out some time.
Speaker 1: Have fun at the park.
Speaker 8: Thanks so much.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 8: We'll talk again soon, look.
Speaker 1: Forward to it. Thank you. That's Congressoman Lauren Bobert. It
Speaker 1: is a beautiful spring day, isn't it. Weather's going to
Speaker 1: get a little bumpy soon, but it doesn't mean as
Speaker 1: long as we're getting these nice days mixed in with
Speaker 1: the others. Hey, we'll come back. We'll start with the
Speaker 1: phones with the text lots going on here today. The
Speaker 1: latest done this signal chat controversy, which I think is
Speaker 1: doing much more damage to the Dems than to Trump.
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 9: Role this woman hires eighty seven Democrats and zero Republicans
Speaker 9: and says America's racist and she wants reparations. But in
Speaker 9: no way is she biased anyway. All that stuff she said,
Speaker 9: she forgot. She's only forty one, not past her prime,
Speaker 9: don Lemon.
Speaker 1: But she forgot, she forgot, and she evolved.
Speaker 9: She's forgetting and evolving at the same time. Did the
Speaker 9: head of MPR just play the.
Speaker 1: Dumb bloc card? Because I find that offensive.
Speaker 9: She also played the I was a different person back
Speaker 9: then card. Can you do that from four years ago?
Speaker 9: I mean, you could do that with something you said
Speaker 9: in college.
Speaker 1: But this was four years ago. Yeah. Boy, see really cooking,
Speaker 1: really cooking. I bet he's around, what twenty thirty years
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be. I think he's such
Speaker 1: a talent. He's going to be one of those who
Speaker 1: just ages well in the job. But he's talking about,
Speaker 1: obviously of NPR. Can somebody explain to me why any
Speaker 1: federal tax dollars are going to NPR. I just please,
Speaker 1: somebody call the show three or three someone three eight
Speaker 1: two five five or text d An five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. Hey. I'm all for competition in media and
Speaker 1: everything else. Right, I've been competing in this sphere for
Speaker 1: a long time. But but government funded competition and why
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, we all understand the underlying economics, right,
Speaker 1: It's the same in radio. This liberal garbage, it's not
Speaker 1: going to make any money. The market isn't there for it.
Speaker 1: I mean just just look at MSNBC and look at
Speaker 1: how CNN's trying to shift. Yeah, so it's got to
Speaker 1: be governments subsidized, you know, in order to succeed. I
Speaker 1: just don't get that. And listen, they have Oh that's
Speaker 1: a good song, you can dance to it. They have
Speaker 1: some talent there. I know it's lefty talent, but they
Speaker 1: have some broadcasting talent. But fine, just compete on a
Speaker 1: level playing field with the rest of us. How about
Speaker 1: Dean and our Vada here on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 1: Welcome Dean, Hey.
Speaker 2: Dan, thank you. Yeah, there's no liberal that's ever going
Speaker 2: to go on your show. They would get slicing five.
Speaker 1: They know it. Thank you for seeing that, my friend,
Speaker 1: But does.
Speaker 2: The research they know that you are, like, you're a
Speaker 2: master at debaby. I was going to be different, but
Speaker 2: you I was just well.
Speaker 1: But thank you for the kind of thank you for
Speaker 1: the kind words. But but let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: It didn't used to be that way. I mean, it
Speaker 1: used to be that most would come on the show,
Speaker 1: they were always treated respectfully. We had good, you know,
Speaker 1: back and forth, and then all of a sudden it
Speaker 1: snapped and it wasn't just this show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're a gentleman when it comes to the baby.
Speaker 2: But the facts that you bring to the table, they're
Speaker 2: just gonna put their tele between your legs and run.
Speaker 2: And finally, if Bennett becomes the governor, it is going
Speaker 2: to be the longest four years listening to that guy speak.
Speaker 2: He is just the most annoying speaker I've ever heard him.
Speaker 2: That's all I got to say today, Congress, it's a
Speaker 2: great sholf.
Speaker 1: Oh Dean, thank you man, appreciate the kind words. Thank
Speaker 1: you for that. I don't know who do you think
Speaker 1: is going to win that Democrat primary? I guess we
Speaker 1: still don't know if Joan of Goose is going to
Speaker 1: get in. I think if he gets in, he probably
Speaker 1: wins it. But I don't think Bennett's doing what he's
Speaker 1: doing now, which is these these quote town hall deals.
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think he's done one in Denver,
Speaker 1: has he. I think all these Democrats right now are
Speaker 1: afraid of people of color, just just afraid of them politically. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: I think, Well, it's not like Michael Bennett's screams appealing
Speaker 3: to African American voters or Hispanic voters himself.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think as a party, right right,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean for the reasons we've been talking about,
Speaker 1: and it's it's kind of like, you know, the Emperor
Speaker 1: has no close kind of saying people eyes are being
Speaker 1: open down. People see hey, there's there's really an alternative
Speaker 1: out there. But you start with the fact that communities
Speaker 1: of color, whether we're talking about African American community, Black
Speaker 1: American community, Hispanic Latino communities, you're talking about communities that
Speaker 1: are deeply faithful and and communities where people deeply believe
Speaker 1: in God, they practice their faith and it's very robust
Speaker 1: and inspiring. And yet you have so many folks who
Speaker 1: have just habitually voted Democratic and for Democrat. You know,
Speaker 1: this and that, and now people are starting to see,
Speaker 1: wait a second, this Democrat party they've habitually voted for
Speaker 1: is now far left and secular and is doing all
Speaker 1: these things that are diametrically opposed to the faith of
Speaker 1: most of their voters. So no, I think I think
Speaker 1: there's a reason that Democrats are not doing town halls
Speaker 1: that I've able to see. Anyway, Maybe there's one out
Speaker 1: there I missed, but we don't see Michael Bennett doing
Speaker 1: a town hall. Dewey in communities of color.
Speaker 3: Well, you got to understand too, I think, Dan, and
Speaker 3: you do know this. You know Bennett ostensibly and we
Speaker 3: know it's ridiculous, but he's going to be running in
Speaker 3: this race is more of a center left option rather
Speaker 3: than those that might flank him to the left and
Speaker 3: appeal to the Denver base. He's going to go for
Speaker 3: the suburbs and Boulder and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it goes back to the living of icing right,
Speaker 1: because I Paulus came on this show forever for years
Speaker 1: and we had some very polite, respectful, good back and forth.
Speaker 1: Once COVID hit, he never came out again because he
Speaker 1: knew he was living a lie. On that and if
Speaker 1: he came on the show, he'd get exposed. The one
Speaker 1: guy who never came on because Hick and luprieze to
Speaker 1: come on a bunch, all of them. The one guy
Speaker 1: who would never come on is Bennett because he's just
Speaker 1: afraid of his shadow. He's afraid of his shadow intellectually,
Speaker 1: and so he would never come on. So it's going
Speaker 1: to be really interesting to see if he gets out
Speaker 1: of that primary. Kevin in Boulder, you're on the Dan
Speaker 1: Kaplas show. Welcome.
Speaker 10: Yeah, MVR has a few good shows, but I don't
Speaker 10: call them NPR anymore. I call him in CR for
Speaker 10: National Communist Radio.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, you're tonas. They have good shows, and
Speaker 1: then you're TNAS they're communists. Does that mean you like
Speaker 1: communist programming?
Speaker 10: Come on, use your lawyer, your lawyer brain.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm using my lawyer, am I. They have some good.
Speaker 10: Shows, but generally speaking, for the last eight years they've
Speaker 10: been very they seem to have been very anti freedom,
Speaker 10: anti Christian, anti Jew, and pro communism.
Speaker 1: See that's interesting to me because of that. You see,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't hear them at all. Every now
Speaker 1: and then I'll see a story they do when I'm
Speaker 1: researching a topic, and they've got some really talented people,
Speaker 1: they've just got this hard left thing going on. Hey, Kevin,
Speaker 1: appreciate the call, but we have a lot of ground
Speaker 1: to cover when we come back, and the sheriff, Steve Reims,
Speaker 1: will be with us. Out of the break. We can't
Speaker 1: wait for that very important story, the latest, very important
Speaker 1: story about an underage girl now living with other adults
Speaker 1: and the parents wander back and how was that handle
Speaker 1: at every level. We'll get the sheriff's take on that
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kapla Show.
