It is the 6 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.320 American way to have fun, right and to have fun 7 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.719 while winning. So we're going to do both and keep 8 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.280 doing both, but especially this afternoon, this glorious summer Friday afternoon, 9 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.480 and looks like a warm, dry weekend ahead across some 10 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.679 most of the rocky mountains. So if you're listening in Colorado, 11 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.960 you are in for another great one three or three 12 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.439 seven one three eight two five five The number text 13 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.159 d A N five seven seven three nine. Hey had 14 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.520 to laugh listening. I was listening to the local new 15 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.840 six point thirty kitch at w and Denver, and they 16 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.520 had Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on, and he was talking 17 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.320 about how he's going to be cracking down on crime 18 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.240 now with law enforcement and not letting people just walk 19 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.240 out of stores with all this stuff. It's like, aren't 20 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.039 you the guy who's like cutting the police budget a 21 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.200 whole lot right now so that you can pay to 22 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.239 house more homeless people. 23 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.319 I mean, he is that very same guy. 24 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.439 But it's this ability to lie shamelessly, which is so 25 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.159 kind of intriguing to me clinically because I just don't 26 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.359 know how humans get to that point, right, And I'm 27 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.439 far from a perfect being. But you know, if say 28 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.640 Ryan Ever came in with a bad haircut, which is 29 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.079 inconceivable to me because he never takes his hat off, 30 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.000 but say he did, and he said, what do you think? 31 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.799 And I say, oh, man, that's a great haircut. 32 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.400 I feel guilty for three weeks and listen, I got 33 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.040 you know, I got a lot of problems in my 34 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.400 negative column. But I think most people and probably vast 35 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.560 majority of people listening, just don't lie. But the left 36 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.680 right now, it's like a requirement you be able to lie. 37 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.439 But so Mike Johnson, Yeah, he's going to be cracking 38 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.680 down on crime. Do not hold your breath. But it 39 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.599 ties into kind of a funny little combo pack we 40 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.040 put together here for you and if fast Moving show 41 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.159 today We're in cover a million million different topics, but 42 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.280 I wanted to get to this one right out of 43 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:03.640 the gate. 44 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.799 You know, this mom, Donnie guy, this this communist. 45 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.319 In New York who it looks like they're about to 46 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.199 elect mayor and he's just very open about it, right, 47 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:14.439 He's just very open. 48 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:14.759 Yeah. 49 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.639 No, we'll do whatever we have to do, do. 50 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.639 Away with private property rights, whatever, to make sure we 51 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.719 can give everybody a home. Well, question I have for 52 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.039 you among many today three oh three seven one three 53 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.599 A two five five text d A N five seven 54 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.479 seven three nine is how much of a difference, if any, 55 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:38.599 is there, between Mike Johnston and this self identified socialist 56 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.719 but really more of a communist in New York, this mom, Donnie. 57 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.680 How much of a difference is there really? I understand 58 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.719 the difference in how upfront about it, how open they 59 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.360 are about it. But listen to this clip and then 60 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.960 tell me how much of a difference is there really 61 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.960 or is it just the packaging for the local audience? 62 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.319 Cut sixteen place right? 63 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.080 My platform is that every single person should have housed. 64 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.039 And I think, faced with these two options, the system, 65 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.439 the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right 66 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.599 for what and if if there was any system that 67 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.319 could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the 68 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.919 abolition of private property or you call it, you know, 69 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.039 just a state wide house and guarantee it is preferable 70 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.120 to what is going on right now. And I think 71 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.319 that people try and play like gotcha games about these 72 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.639 kinds of things, and it's like, look, I care more 73 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.080 about whether somebody has a home. 74 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.039 We will get you a home. We will get you 75 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:39.840 a home. We will get you a home. 76 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.159 Yeah, how much of a difference is there? The first 77 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.919 was Mandani and the second is Johnston. It is inaugural address, 78 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.840 same thing, right, and Mike Johnston stood up and said, Hey, 79 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.400 you don't have a home. You come to Denver, we 80 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.919 will get you a home. So is there really any 81 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:57.719 difference there? 82 00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:57.800 Now? 83 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.159 I understand Johnston is present himself differently and he would 84 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.479 not call himself a socialist, etc. But in terms of 85 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.719 the approach, is there any difference there? Once you just 86 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.159 say to the world you come to Denver, we will 87 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.479 get you home. And then, of course, as we predicted, 88 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.040 look at the position it puts the good people of 89 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.720 Denver in right now, where all of a sudden you 90 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.519 have people being furloughed, you have budgets being caught, you 91 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:27.160 have services being curtailed. So Mike Johnston can fulfill his 92 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.759 promise of getting a home for anybody who wants one 93 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.439 in Denver. I mean, what kind of difference is there really? 94 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.560 And the broader point, and I'm sure there are some 95 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.439 on some policy issues, but the broader point is this 96 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.480 is today's democratic party and can even call it a 97 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:43.759 democratic party anymore? 98 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:45.920 Does it have to be called a socialist party? 99 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.279 But this is where it's going, whether it dresses up 100 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.120 like Johnston or Mandani, this is where it's going. 101 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.040 Which is to this kind of socialism. 102 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.879 Okay, everybody else in Denver, you work hard for the city, 103 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.480 you pay your taxes, you need to be protected by police. 104 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.920 Now we're cutting the police budget, we're laying you off, 105 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.920 and we're cutting services over at the park and our intersections, Ryan, 106 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.600 have you seen our intersections in Denver? It looks like 107 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.800 worse than Third World? And so everybody's told no, you're 108 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.639 going to have a lesser quality of life, or you're 109 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.720 going to lose hours at your job, or you're not going. 110 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.160 To be protected by police. 111 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.240 So that we can provide housing for anybody around America 112 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:27.439 who wants to come here and. 113 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.360 Ask for it. What's the difference there? Three or three? 114 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.680 Someone three eight two five five the number text d 115 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.399 an five seven seven three. 116 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.439 Well, there's also a couple of nuggets in there with 117 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.079 mom Donnie that you're right, it's just varying shades of 118 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.040 the same color from Mike Johnston. These guaranteed outcomes Dan 119 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.800 that are so dangerous and why I know that we 120 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.680 wanted to create a safety net coming out of the 121 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.800 Great Depression, and that was the whole basis for Social Security. 122 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.040 And these government funded ponzi schemes, and that's what they are. 123 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.319 You pay into them, you don't get out necessarily what 124 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.079 you pay in. If you die before retirement age, you 125 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.199 don't collect. And if you don't live long enough for 126 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.360 the amount that you contributed, you don't collect an equal 127 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.000 amount or more. It's a bad investment just from that 128 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.519 model standpoint. But when when Donnie says everybody has a 129 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.839 right to a home, well, nothing in life is free. 130 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:18.879 There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's 131 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.279 certainly no such thing as a free home. 132 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.040 So somebody's paying for that. 133 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.879 It's government subsidized, it's government controlled, eliminating private property. I mean, 134 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.000 try telling that to somebody who has rural land here 135 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:30.720 in Colorado. 136 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.639 Well, take the government out of there and just say 137 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.199 us right, because it's us paying for that end. Listen, 138 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.639 when it comes to and I would get I'd love 139 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.879 to hear from folks on this DA n five seven 140 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.600 seven thirty nine. But when it comes to folks listening 141 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.879 to this show, who I think are a microcosm of 142 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.519 just good people out there across the spectrum, vast majority 143 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.319 I think would say, of course, we have to have 144 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.439 a safety net for those people truly in crisis, who 145 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.680 are in a situation where they need a home short 146 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.920 term whatever, or maybe they have some kind of long 147 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.959 term disability they're going to need longer term help. Yeah, 148 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.920 a true safety net like that, I think the vast 149 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.839 majority of us would support and would feel good about 150 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.199 paying for through our taxes, as long as the money 151 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.240 spent well. But that's what Johnston's talking about, And this 152 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.360 is at the heart of my comparison on Donnie. When 153 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.759 you listen to what Mike Johnston promised in that inaugural address, 154 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.439 you know he's not putting those kind of conditions on it. 155 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.759 You know, come to Denver, we will get you a home. 156 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.319 You know you're unhoused. We will get you a home. 157 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.959 And a society can't support itself like that right, it's 158 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.519 the old Hey, when the mask drops out of the 159 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.879 ceiling on a plane, you know, put it on yourself first, 160 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.560 before the kids, so you can help the kid. Society 161 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.040 cannot afford to do what Mike Johnston has pledged to do, 162 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.000 and that's why Denver right now is going through all 163 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.959 these layoffs and cutbacks and cutbacks and cops. But Ryan, 164 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.240 do you disagree? This is where the Democratic Party is going. 165 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.560 This is the failure of the party and the why 166 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.839 cities nationwide are crumbling under the weight of themselves because businesses, 167 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.079 business owners, restaurant tours, people that would want to set 168 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.160 up shop in a metro area, they don't want to 169 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.800 pay the taxes required. Look at New York City and 170 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.519 where it will go if Momdannie does take over, that 171 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.000 money's going to flee. The very tax space that you 172 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.959 need to support these communist socialist programs is going to 173 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:23.480 be gone. 174 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.040 So where are youre going to get the money from? 175 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:27.600 You're not right, and you know what you might be 176 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:32.159 able to hold onto those job creators, big tax payers 177 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.240 if you are providing this tremendous quality of life. But 178 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.360 hand in hand with this leftist ideology is pro criminal 179 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.080 and anti cop. So at the same time you're doing 180 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.440 this awful stuff with the right hand, you are recruiting 181 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.759 criminals to your city with the left hand, just like 182 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.399 Johnston now and polists and the Democrats are out there 183 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.200 recruiting people that come here illegally from all over the world. 184 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.159 And now, of course there'll be many who aren't otherwise criminals, 185 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.679 but they're not vetting. They're recruiting everybody to come here illegally. 186 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.799 Come here illegally, you can get a driver's license first day, 187 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.879 you can use an ID that's inspired nine years, three 188 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.000 hundred and sixty days. And then of course the way 189 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.960 they coddle and protect criminals with the other changes they've 190 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.759 made in the law. So that's the double whemming. I mean, 191 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.799 I could see a scenario, Ryan, I wouldn't support it 192 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.519 and wouldn't want it, but a scenario where they could 193 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:27.519 pull off some of their socialist stuff if there were 194 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.399 if they were taking advantage of this beauty God's given 195 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.559 us here in Colorado and everything, and they were creating 196 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:36.720 this tremendous quality of life. But because they're so pro criminal, 197 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.200 you see the way it just deteriorates. So yeah, they're 198 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.240 killing the place the left is killing Denver. How long 199 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.759 do you think that's going to take? Three O three 200 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.799 seven one three eight two five five. But we have 201 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.600 much more than that ahead today as well. We have 202 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.440 some breaking news from the Trump administration. Has Obama been 203 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:57.240 caught red handed? But here's a bigger one. Barack Obama. 204 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:02.279 Barack Obama saying that, hey, every kid, every kid needs 205 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.279 a gay person in their life. Every kid needs a 206 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.759 gay person in their life to give that kid feedback 207 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.960 on whether their own parents a good parent or not. Yeah, 208 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.080 you can't make this stuff up. You're on the Dan 209 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.080 Kapla Show. 210 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.080 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast. 211 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.639 Thank you very much. Yeah, we worked hard. It's a 212 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.879 very important actor genius act. They named it after me, 213 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.720 and I want to thank you. I want to thank you. 214 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.279 This is a hell of an act. 215 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:37.080 Yep. 216 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.360 He I don't think we'll ever have a president this 217 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.960 funny again. No, but by the way, I think we 218 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.240 pulled this sound. Did you hear jd Vance ripping on Reagan? 219 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.679 Cut eighteen jd Vance ripping on Reagan? 220 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.759 This is on Rogan? I think right, and we saw this. 221 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.519 Look I'm like a Reagan guy, right, I'm a conservative Republican. 222 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.759 But Reagan screwed up a lot up mental health in 223 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.440 this country. People don't talk nearly enough about that. He 224 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.879 really screwed up amnesty thing. He really screwed up. 225 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.679 Yeah, and people always say, well, you know Ronald Reagan. 226 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.799 You know, when they critics of Donald Trump will say, well, 227 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.360 look at how Reagan talked about immigration. Because of what 228 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.440 Ronald Reagan did at the nineteen eighty six amnesty California 229 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.840 is now effectively permanently blue state except. 230 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:23.120 When Arnold won. 231 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.840 But Arnold ran as a super moderate Republican. He was 232 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:29.879 a major celebrity, right, he was at the height of 233 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.440 his celebrity power. And he's he's still won barely, even 234 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.159 though California had been mismanaged. California is a one party 235 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.360 state because of Ronald Reagan's ambassy. And that's the fear, 236 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.519 is that the entire country could become When the entire 237 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:43.639 country becomes. 238 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.399 That, yeah, so interesting and really kind of fun to watch, 239 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.200 you know. JD Vance growing the job, Rubio growing the job, 240 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.120 and it's just going to be a blast quick twenty six. 241 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.799 This will all be out in the open right. 242 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.240 A fact check on JD. Vance there and the few 243 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.200 times that he needs one. But he's a little younger 244 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.679 than Kelly and I are. And Kelly lived through the 245 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.039 governor's race back then were great Davis, great out Davis, 246 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.919 as Russe Limbaugh called him. And the recall election there 247 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.240 he didn't win by a little bit, Arnold Swarzenegger, Dawn, 248 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.559 he won by a lot. Schwarzenegger cleared the field. It 249 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.200 was pretty emphatic from the voters of California. And that's 250 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:20.240 the last time it happened. 251 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:21.840 You know. 252 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.559 The interesting thing though, when you think about Reagan, I'm 253 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.399 not going to spend the show on President Reagan. Is 254 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.600 greatness is obvious, and we all owe him a debt 255 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.480 of gratitude. But another thing that he mishandled was the 256 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.799 life issue. And we had a chance to save an 257 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:40.360 awful lot of lives during his term, and he kept appointing. 258 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.559 People who were, you know, justices who. 259 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.919 Were not originalist justices, justices who were going to legislate 260 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:48.720 on the issue of abortions. 261 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:49.879 So rowe would have. 262 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.279 Been gone a long long time ago if President Reagan 263 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.399 had had done a better job of nominating Supreme Court justices. 264 00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.519 But well, it was kind of the first dee. 265 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.120 I hied when he nominated Sanderdale O'Connor was like he 266 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.440 was dedicated to nominating a woman. 267 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.519 And she was a fine justice, but like you said, 268 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:07.519 very middle of the road. 269 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.519 And then antonin Scalia an all time great, the lion 270 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:11.440 of the Supreme Court. 271 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.080 I mean, that's that's top of the charts. 272 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.360 But then Robert Bork would have been a phenomenal justice, 273 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.159 tremendous legal mind. And that whole process happened. He got 274 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.639 Borke to become a verb. And then Anthony Kennedy comes 275 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.679 in and he was much like Sanderdy O'Connor, right down 276 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:25.879 the middle kind of thing, like that. 277 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:27.120 Justice Roberts name. 278 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.919 I would disagree on O'Connor being a DEI higher. 279 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.000 I don't think she was. 280 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.600 I mean what I mean, she had plenty of merit. 281 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.360 She had plenty of merit, you know, coming out of Arizona, 282 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:42.919 very distinguished. But she was not pro life and she 283 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.360 was going to be an activist judge on abortion. And 284 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.840 all you have to do is interpret the darn Constitution 285 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:54.399 and rogue gets overturned. But the Reagan Whitehouse did not 286 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.720 investigate her. They would have found out that she had 287 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.799 pushed all this pro abortion legislation, but I respectfully disagree. 288 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.519 I think she was very qualified. She was just kind 289 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.039 of a pro abortion activist. Three or three someone three 290 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.159 eight two five five text d A N five seven 291 00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.279 seven three nine. So much more to get here to 292 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.840 today Colbert his show being canceled, and and what is 293 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.879 your take on this? What is your take? I want 294 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.879 to open this up to everybody to Colbert being canceled. 295 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.320 Here's a bear announcing it yesterday. Cut to please Ryan. 296 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:30.559 Before we start the show, I want to let you 297 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.440 know something that I found out just last night. Next 298 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.840 year will be our last season. The network will be 299 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:49.919 ending the Late Show in May. And yeah, Jailing, it's 300 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.480 not just the end of our show, but it's the 301 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.440 end of the Late Show on CBS. 302 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.320 I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away. 303 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.679 And I do want to say. 304 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.440 I do want to say that the folks at CBS have. 305 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.320 Been great partners. 306 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.759 I'm so grateful to the Tiffany Network for giving me 307 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:09.879 this chair and this beautiful theater. 308 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:10.240 To call home. 309 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:13.840 Thanks and of course thanks Stephen. Yeah, and he's just 310 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.759 been ripping on him for the last few days. And 311 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.600 then some feedback from the left on that. See if 312 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.039 you agree or disagree with this, let's go to cut 313 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:24.039 five this John Heilman and b C News. 314 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.440 I think there's a consensus in the television business that 315 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:32.799 this generation of late night hosts Stephen, Jimmy, Jimmy and 316 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:37.120 Seth Myers, we're going to be the last. That they 317 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.559 would not that the economics for the reasons you were 318 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:42.200 talking about, because so much of the revenue and the 319 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:47.000 viewership is now moving into social platforms notto, YouTube, that 320 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.279 you wouldn't you wouldn't find us a success or to 321 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:51.080 any of those guys. 322 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.600 This would be the. 323 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:55.240 Last generation in those traditional seats. 324 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.320 Yeah, thanks, Aran, But wait a second. 325 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.919 The only reason they don't have the revenue is they 326 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.200 don't have a large enough audience because they've become such 327 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.039 hardcore lefties. You're trying to tell me that that a true, 328 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:13.279 funny late night show could not make it. Of course 329 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.639 it could for the same reason it has for so 330 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.120 many years until these guys ruined it. 331 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.039 And you know. My take on this, though, is listen 332 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:21.600 to Colbert. 333 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.320 I obviously disagree with him politically, and I think he's 334 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.480 often very dishonest, but the fact that he chose to 335 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.720 take this show and instead of doing comedy, you know, 336 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.679 use it to try to advance political causes. 337 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:37.080 He believes in. 338 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.759 I'm not critical of him for that because I and 339 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.080 I never watch him right for all the obvious reasons. 340 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.960 But I personally believe, and I would guess you do too, 341 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:50.200 that Hey, we're put on this earth to make the 342 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.759 biggest impact we can on the things that we believe in. 343 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:55.519 Stop bad things, do good things. 344 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:57.879 Now, I have an opposite view of Colbert on what 345 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.840 that means, but I'm never going to fault the guy 346 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:05.240 or Gale for trying to use their platform to advance causes. 347 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.720 They truly believe it, even if I disagree with their causes. Now, 348 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.039 his show's going away, and the others will too, because 349 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.359 they're just not funny. They've they've turned into bitter lefties, 350 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.680 and they're only going to get more bitter beer faces. 351 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.200 Keystone is still around, Ryan, Did you ever drink Keystone? 352 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.839 Absolutely not. That's a horrible beer, but yeah, it's still around. 353 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.200 I believe. 354 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.519 Well, that's where bitter beer face comes from, That's right, Yeah, 355 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.480 from that, I mean, they're only going to get more 356 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.680 bitter beer faced.
