Speaker 1: This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Kaplis 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. It is the
Speaker 1: American way to have fun, right and to have fun
Speaker 1: while winning. So we're going to do both and keep
Speaker 1: doing both, but especially this afternoon, this glorious summer Friday afternoon,
Speaker 1: and looks like a warm, dry weekend ahead across some
Speaker 1: most of the rocky mountains. So if you're listening in Colorado,
Speaker 1: you are in for another great one three or three
Speaker 1: seven one three eight two five five The number text
Speaker 1: d A N five seven seven three nine. Hey had
Speaker 1: to laugh listening. I was listening to the local new
Speaker 1: six point thirty kitch at w and Denver, and they
Speaker 1: had Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on, and he was talking
Speaker 1: about how he's going to be cracking down on crime
Speaker 1: now with law enforcement and not letting people just walk
Speaker 1: out of stores with all this stuff. It's like, aren't
Speaker 1: you the guy who's like cutting the police budget a
Speaker 1: whole lot right now so that you can pay to
Speaker 1: house more homeless people.
Speaker 2: I mean, he is that very same guy.
Speaker 1: But it's this ability to lie shamelessly, which is so
Speaker 1: kind of intriguing to me clinically because I just don't
Speaker 1: know how humans get to that point, right, And I'm
Speaker 1: far from a perfect being. But you know, if say
Speaker 1: Ryan Ever came in with a bad haircut, which is
Speaker 1: inconceivable to me because he never takes his hat off,
Speaker 1: but say he did, and he said, what do you think?
Speaker 2: And I say, oh, man, that's a great haircut.
Speaker 1: I feel guilty for three weeks and listen, I got
Speaker 1: you know, I got a lot of problems in my
Speaker 1: negative column. But I think most people and probably vast
Speaker 1: majority of people listening, just don't lie. But the left
Speaker 1: right now, it's like a requirement you be able to lie.
Speaker 1: But so Mike Johnson, Yeah, he's going to be cracking
Speaker 1: down on crime. Do not hold your breath. But it
Speaker 1: ties into kind of a funny little combo pack we
Speaker 1: put together here for you and if fast Moving show
Speaker 1: today We're in cover a million million different topics, but
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to this one right out of
Speaker 1: the gate.
Speaker 2: You know, this mom, Donnie guy, this this communist.
Speaker 1: In New York who it looks like they're about to
Speaker 1: elect mayor and he's just very open about it, right,
Speaker 1: He's just very open.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, we'll do whatever we have to do, do.
Speaker 1: Away with private property rights, whatever, to make sure we
Speaker 1: can give everybody a home. Well, question I have for
Speaker 1: you among many today three oh three seven one three
Speaker 1: A two five five text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine is how much of a difference, if any,
Speaker 1: is there, between Mike Johnston and this self identified socialist
Speaker 1: but really more of a communist in New York, this mom, Donnie.
Speaker 1: How much of a difference is there really? I understand
Speaker 1: the difference in how upfront about it, how open they
Speaker 1: are about it. But listen to this clip and then
Speaker 1: tell me how much of a difference is there really
Speaker 1: or is it just the packaging for the local audience?
Speaker 2: Cut sixteen place right?
Speaker 4: My platform is that every single person should have housed.
Speaker 4: And I think, faced with these two options, the system,
Speaker 4: the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right
Speaker 4: for what and if if there was any system that
Speaker 4: could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the
Speaker 4: abolition of private property or you call it, you know,
Speaker 4: just a state wide house and guarantee it is preferable
Speaker 4: to what is going on right now. And I think
Speaker 4: that people try and play like gotcha games about these
Speaker 4: kinds of things, and it's like, look, I care more
Speaker 4: about whether somebody has a home.
Speaker 3: We will get you a home. We will get you
Speaker 3: a home. We will get you a home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how much of a difference is there? The first
Speaker 1: was Mandani and the second is Johnston. It is inaugural address,
Speaker 1: same thing, right, and Mike Johnston stood up and said, Hey,
Speaker 1: you don't have a home. You come to Denver, we
Speaker 1: will get you a home. So is there really any
Speaker 1: difference there?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: I understand Johnston is present himself differently and he would
Speaker 1: not call himself a socialist, etc. But in terms of
Speaker 1: the approach, is there any difference there? Once you just
Speaker 1: say to the world you come to Denver, we will
Speaker 1: get you home. And then, of course, as we predicted,
Speaker 1: look at the position it puts the good people of
Speaker 1: Denver in right now, where all of a sudden you
Speaker 1: have people being furloughed, you have budgets being caught, you
Speaker 1: have services being curtailed. So Mike Johnston can fulfill his
Speaker 1: promise of getting a home for anybody who wants one
Speaker 1: in Denver. I mean, what kind of difference is there really?
Speaker 1: And the broader point, and I'm sure there are some
Speaker 1: on some policy issues, but the broader point is this
Speaker 1: is today's democratic party and can even call it a
Speaker 1: democratic party anymore?
Speaker 2: Does it have to be called a socialist party?
Speaker 1: But this is where it's going, whether it dresses up
Speaker 1: like Johnston or Mandani, this is where it's going.
Speaker 2: Which is to this kind of socialism.
Speaker 1: Okay, everybody else in Denver, you work hard for the city,
Speaker 1: you pay your taxes, you need to be protected by police.
Speaker 1: Now we're cutting the police budget, we're laying you off,
Speaker 1: and we're cutting services over at the park and our intersections, Ryan,
Speaker 1: have you seen our intersections in Denver? It looks like
Speaker 1: worse than Third World? And so everybody's told no, you're
Speaker 1: going to have a lesser quality of life, or you're
Speaker 1: going to lose hours at your job, or you're not going.
Speaker 2: To be protected by police.
Speaker 1: So that we can provide housing for anybody around America
Speaker 1: who wants to come here and.
Speaker 2: Ask for it. What's the difference there? Three or three?
Speaker 1: Someone three eight two five five the number text d
Speaker 1: an five seven seven three.
Speaker 6: Well, there's also a couple of nuggets in there with
Speaker 6: mom Donnie that you're right, it's just varying shades of
Speaker 6: the same color from Mike Johnston. These guaranteed outcomes Dan
Speaker 6: that are so dangerous and why I know that we
Speaker 6: wanted to create a safety net coming out of the
Speaker 6: Great Depression, and that was the whole basis for Social Security.
Speaker 6: And these government funded ponzi schemes, and that's what they are.
Speaker 6: You pay into them, you don't get out necessarily what
Speaker 6: you pay in. If you die before retirement age, you
Speaker 6: don't collect. And if you don't live long enough for
Speaker 6: the amount that you contributed, you don't collect an equal
Speaker 6: amount or more. It's a bad investment just from that
Speaker 6: model standpoint. But when when Donnie says everybody has a
Speaker 6: right to a home, well, nothing in life is free.
Speaker 6: There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's
Speaker 6: certainly no such thing as a free home.
Speaker 3: So somebody's paying for that.
Speaker 6: It's government subsidized, it's government controlled, eliminating private property. I mean,
Speaker 6: try telling that to somebody who has rural land here
Speaker 6: in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Well, take the government out of there and just say
Speaker 1: us right, because it's us paying for that end. Listen,
Speaker 1: when it comes to and I would get I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear from folks on this DA n five seven
Speaker 1: seven thirty nine. But when it comes to folks listening
Speaker 1: to this show, who I think are a microcosm of
Speaker 1: just good people out there across the spectrum, vast majority
Speaker 1: I think would say, of course, we have to have
Speaker 1: a safety net for those people truly in crisis, who
Speaker 1: are in a situation where they need a home short
Speaker 1: term whatever, or maybe they have some kind of long
Speaker 1: term disability they're going to need longer term help. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a true safety net like that, I think the vast
Speaker 1: majority of us would support and would feel good about
Speaker 1: paying for through our taxes, as long as the money
Speaker 1: spent well. But that's what Johnston's talking about, And this
Speaker 1: is at the heart of my comparison on Donnie. When
Speaker 1: you listen to what Mike Johnston promised in that inaugural address,
Speaker 1: you know he's not putting those kind of conditions on it.
Speaker 1: You know, come to Denver, we will get you a home.
Speaker 1: You know you're unhoused. We will get you a home.
Speaker 1: And a society can't support itself like that right, it's
Speaker 1: the old Hey, when the mask drops out of the
Speaker 1: ceiling on a plane, you know, put it on yourself first,
Speaker 1: before the kids, so you can help the kid. Society
Speaker 1: cannot afford to do what Mike Johnston has pledged to do,
Speaker 1: and that's why Denver right now is going through all
Speaker 1: these layoffs and cutbacks and cutbacks and cops. But Ryan,
Speaker 1: do you disagree? This is where the Democratic Party is going.
Speaker 6: This is the failure of the party and the why
Speaker 6: cities nationwide are crumbling under the weight of themselves because businesses,
Speaker 6: business owners, restaurant tours, people that would want to set
Speaker 6: up shop in a metro area, they don't want to
Speaker 6: pay the taxes required. Look at New York City and
Speaker 6: where it will go if Momdannie does take over, that
Speaker 6: money's going to flee. The very tax space that you
Speaker 6: need to support these communist socialist programs is going to
Speaker 6: be gone.
Speaker 3: So where are youre going to get the money from?
Speaker 1: You're not right, and you know what you might be
Speaker 1: able to hold onto those job creators, big tax payers
Speaker 1: if you are providing this tremendous quality of life. But
Speaker 1: hand in hand with this leftist ideology is pro criminal
Speaker 1: and anti cop. So at the same time you're doing
Speaker 1: this awful stuff with the right hand, you are recruiting
Speaker 1: criminals to your city with the left hand, just like
Speaker 1: Johnston now and polists and the Democrats are out there
Speaker 1: recruiting people that come here illegally from all over the world.
Speaker 1: And now, of course there'll be many who aren't otherwise criminals,
Speaker 1: but they're not vetting. They're recruiting everybody to come here illegally.
Speaker 1: Come here illegally, you can get a driver's license first day,
Speaker 1: you can use an ID that's inspired nine years, three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty days. And then of course the way
Speaker 1: they coddle and protect criminals with the other changes they've
Speaker 1: made in the law. So that's the double whemming. I mean,
Speaker 1: I could see a scenario, Ryan, I wouldn't support it
Speaker 1: and wouldn't want it, but a scenario where they could
Speaker 1: pull off some of their socialist stuff if there were
Speaker 1: if they were taking advantage of this beauty God's given
Speaker 1: us here in Colorado and everything, and they were creating
Speaker 1: this tremendous quality of life. But because they're so pro criminal,
Speaker 1: you see the way it just deteriorates. So yeah, they're
Speaker 1: killing the place the left is killing Denver. How long
Speaker 1: do you think that's going to take? Three O three
Speaker 1: seven one three eight two five five. But we have
Speaker 1: much more than that ahead today as well. We have
Speaker 1: some breaking news from the Trump administration. Has Obama been
Speaker 1: caught red handed? But here's a bigger one. Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: Barack Obama saying that, hey, every kid, every kid needs
Speaker 1: a gay person in their life. Every kid needs a
Speaker 1: gay person in their life to give that kid feedback
Speaker 1: on whether their own parents a good parent or not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up. You're on the Dan
Speaker 1: Kapla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 7: Thank you very much. Yeah, we worked hard. It's a
Speaker 7: very important actor genius act. They named it after me,
Speaker 7: and I want to thank you. I want to thank you.
Speaker 7: This is a hell of an act.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: He I don't think we'll ever have a president this
Speaker 1: funny again. No, but by the way, I think we
Speaker 1: pulled this sound. Did you hear jd Vance ripping on Reagan?
Speaker 1: Cut eighteen jd Vance ripping on Reagan?
Speaker 2: This is on Rogan? I think right, and we saw this.
Speaker 8: Look I'm like a Reagan guy, right, I'm a conservative Republican.
Speaker 8: But Reagan screwed up a lot up mental health in
Speaker 8: this country. People don't talk nearly enough about that. He
Speaker 8: really screwed up amnesty thing. He really screwed up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and people always say, well, you know Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 8: You know, when they critics of Donald Trump will say, well,
Speaker 8: look at how Reagan talked about immigration. Because of what
Speaker 8: Ronald Reagan did at the nineteen eighty six amnesty California
Speaker 8: is now effectively permanently blue state except.
Speaker 3: When Arnold won.
Speaker 8: But Arnold ran as a super moderate Republican. He was
Speaker 8: a major celebrity, right, he was at the height of
Speaker 8: his celebrity power. And he's he's still won barely, even
Speaker 8: though California had been mismanaged. California is a one party
Speaker 8: state because of Ronald Reagan's ambassy. And that's the fear,
Speaker 8: is that the entire country could become When the entire
Speaker 8: country becomes.
Speaker 1: That, yeah, so interesting and really kind of fun to watch,
Speaker 1: you know. JD Vance growing the job, Rubio growing the job,
Speaker 1: and it's just going to be a blast quick twenty six.
Speaker 2: This will all be out in the open right.
Speaker 6: A fact check on JD. Vance there and the few
Speaker 6: times that he needs one. But he's a little younger
Speaker 6: than Kelly and I are. And Kelly lived through the
Speaker 6: governor's race back then were great Davis, great out Davis,
Speaker 6: as Russe Limbaugh called him. And the recall election there
Speaker 6: he didn't win by a little bit, Arnold Swarzenegger, Dawn,
Speaker 6: he won by a lot. Schwarzenegger cleared the field. It
Speaker 6: was pretty emphatic from the voters of California. And that's
Speaker 6: the last time it happened.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The interesting thing though, when you think about Reagan, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to spend the show on President Reagan. Is
Speaker 1: greatness is obvious, and we all owe him a debt
Speaker 1: of gratitude. But another thing that he mishandled was the
Speaker 1: life issue. And we had a chance to save an
Speaker 1: awful lot of lives during his term, and he kept appointing.
Speaker 2: People who were, you know, justices who.
Speaker 1: Were not originalist justices, justices who were going to legislate
Speaker 1: on the issue of abortions.
Speaker 2: So rowe would have.
Speaker 1: Been gone a long long time ago if President Reagan
Speaker 1: had had done a better job of nominating Supreme Court justices.
Speaker 3: But well, it was kind of the first dee.
Speaker 6: I hied when he nominated Sanderdale O'Connor was like he
Speaker 6: was dedicated to nominating a woman.
Speaker 3: And she was a fine justice, but like you said,
Speaker 3: very middle of the road.
Speaker 6: And then antonin Scalia an all time great, the lion
Speaker 6: of the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's top of the charts.
Speaker 6: But then Robert Bork would have been a phenomenal justice,
Speaker 6: tremendous legal mind. And that whole process happened. He got
Speaker 6: Borke to become a verb. And then Anthony Kennedy comes
Speaker 6: in and he was much like Sanderdy O'Connor, right down
Speaker 6: the middle kind of thing, like that.
Speaker 2: Justice Roberts name.
Speaker 1: I would disagree on O'Connor being a DEI higher.
Speaker 2: I don't think she was.
Speaker 1: I mean what I mean, she had plenty of merit.
Speaker 1: She had plenty of merit, you know, coming out of Arizona,
Speaker 1: very distinguished. But she was not pro life and she
Speaker 1: was going to be an activist judge on abortion. And
Speaker 1: all you have to do is interpret the darn Constitution
Speaker 1: and rogue gets overturned. But the Reagan Whitehouse did not
Speaker 1: investigate her. They would have found out that she had
Speaker 1: pushed all this pro abortion legislation, but I respectfully disagree.
Speaker 1: I think she was very qualified. She was just kind
Speaker 1: of a pro abortion activist. Three or three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. So much more to get here to
Speaker 1: today Colbert his show being canceled, and and what is
Speaker 1: your take on this? What is your take? I want
Speaker 1: to open this up to everybody to Colbert being canceled.
Speaker 1: Here's a bear announcing it yesterday. Cut to please Ryan.
Speaker 9: Before we start the show, I want to let you
Speaker 9: know something that I found out just last night. Next
Speaker 9: year will be our last season. The network will be
Speaker 9: ending the Late Show in May. And yeah, Jailing, it's
Speaker 9: not just the end of our show, but it's the
Speaker 9: end of the Late Show on CBS.
Speaker 3: I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.
Speaker 3: And I do want to say.
Speaker 9: I do want to say that the folks at CBS have.
Speaker 2: Been great partners.
Speaker 9: I'm so grateful to the Tiffany Network for giving me
Speaker 9: this chair and this beautiful theater.
Speaker 2: To call home.
Speaker 1: Thanks and of course thanks Stephen. Yeah, and he's just
Speaker 1: been ripping on him for the last few days. And
Speaker 1: then some feedback from the left on that. See if
Speaker 1: you agree or disagree with this, let's go to cut
Speaker 1: five this John Heilman and b C News.
Speaker 10: I think there's a consensus in the television business that
Speaker 10: this generation of late night hosts Stephen, Jimmy, Jimmy and
Speaker 10: Seth Myers, we're going to be the last. That they
Speaker 10: would not that the economics for the reasons you were
Speaker 10: talking about, because so much of the revenue and the
Speaker 10: viewership is now moving into social platforms notto, YouTube, that
Speaker 10: you wouldn't you wouldn't find us a success or to
Speaker 10: any of those guys.
Speaker 3: This would be the.
Speaker 10: Last generation in those traditional seats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, Aran, But wait a second.
Speaker 1: The only reason they don't have the revenue is they
Speaker 1: don't have a large enough audience because they've become such
Speaker 1: hardcore lefties. You're trying to tell me that that a true,
Speaker 1: funny late night show could not make it. Of course
Speaker 1: it could for the same reason it has for so
Speaker 1: many years until these guys ruined it.
Speaker 2: And you know. My take on this, though, is listen
Speaker 2: to Colbert.
Speaker 1: I obviously disagree with him politically, and I think he's
Speaker 1: often very dishonest, but the fact that he chose to
Speaker 1: take this show and instead of doing comedy, you know,
Speaker 1: use it to try to advance political causes.
Speaker 2: He believes in.
Speaker 1: I'm not critical of him for that because I and
Speaker 1: I never watch him right for all the obvious reasons.
Speaker 1: But I personally believe, and I would guess you do too,
Speaker 1: that Hey, we're put on this earth to make the
Speaker 1: biggest impact we can on the things that we believe in.
Speaker 2: Stop bad things, do good things.
Speaker 1: Now, I have an opposite view of Colbert on what
Speaker 1: that means, but I'm never going to fault the guy
Speaker 1: or Gale for trying to use their platform to advance causes.
Speaker 1: They truly believe it, even if I disagree with their causes. Now,
Speaker 1: his show's going away, and the others will too, because
Speaker 1: they're just not funny. They've they've turned into bitter lefties,
Speaker 1: and they're only going to get more bitter beer faces.
Speaker 1: Keystone is still around, Ryan, Did you ever drink Keystone?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. That's a horrible beer, but yeah, it's still around.
Speaker 3: I believe.
Speaker 1: Well, that's where bitter beer face comes from, That's right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: from that, I mean, they're only going to get more
Speaker 1: bitter beer faced. You know, has all of this conservative
Speaker 1: success continues, so if nothing else, maybe leave.
Speaker 2: Them on just to enjoy that.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I'm surprised they're gonna leave colberta now.
Speaker 1: As long as they have or as long as they will.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've fault them for just canceling the thing
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 3: Give them a soft landing.
Speaker 6: You know, May is when the live shows typically end anyway,
Speaker 6: So they're letting him play out the string in the season.
Speaker 3: Then that'll be it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe they figure they'll get the train wreck,
Speaker 1: you know, bumping ratings right as as people tune into
Speaker 1: see the very end of it. Hey, whant to come
Speaker 1: back to the First thing I want to do is
Speaker 1: play this sound of Barack Obama talking about how every
Speaker 1: kid needs a gay person in their life and in
Speaker 1: part to keep a check on their own parent.
Speaker 2: Wow. Three someone three eight two five five On the Dan.
Speaker 3: Kaplish you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 11: People say he'll never take a serious controversy.
Speaker 2: Well I have an answer to that.
Speaker 11: I said, no, tell me the last time that Jack.
Speaker 2: Benny red Skelton.
Speaker 11: Benny comedian use his show to do serious issues.
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm there for. Can't they see that.
Speaker 11: But you and I they think that just because you
Speaker 11: have it tonight show that you must deal in serious issues.
Speaker 2: That's a danger. It's a real danger.
Speaker 11: Once you start that, do you start to get that
Speaker 11: self important feeling. That's what you say has great import
Speaker 11: and you know, strangely enough, you could use that show
Speaker 11: as a form you could sway people, and I don't
Speaker 11: think you should as an entertainer.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: See, Kerson had it right, and I mean had it
Speaker 1: right in terms of what worked for him, but also
Speaker 1: what worked commercially. And that's why these you know, late
Speaker 1: night lefties right now, they're not working. And Colbert's just
Speaker 1: the first to fall. But Ryan, just as you played
Speaker 1: that music right now, I understand that you know, many
Speaker 1: people listening you've never heard of Johnny Carson an age thing.
Speaker 1: But the concept's pretty simple. Just a funny late night
Speaker 1: show devoted to comedy, and you can have political comedy.
Speaker 1: It just has to be even handed. So when you
Speaker 1: get these guys who are just far left, you know,
Speaker 1: as a Texter says Dan, Colbert is a late night
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow. Everyone is tired of arrogance and smug superior attitudes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you had a truly funny show and then
Speaker 1: I'll go to the phone. So if you had a
Speaker 1: truly funny show, it'd be an enormous hit, in part because,
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens at the end of the day, right,
Speaker 1: We all want to kind of wind down and relax
Speaker 1: as we go to bed, and humor's great for that. Also,
Speaker 1: it's a time of day. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: couples are together that time of night, and humor's just
Speaker 1: just a great thing for a couple to enjoy together.
Speaker 1: It's also much more conducive to you know, romance than
Speaker 1: just bitter, lefty stuff. So there's a huge market for
Speaker 1: that kind of show. And when this smug, dishonest Colbert says,
Speaker 1: oh no, CBS is doing away with a show like
Speaker 1: this entirely. They may say that now, but I bet
Speaker 1: you had a hawk that they end up with an
Speaker 1: actually funny late show because there's a screaming market for it.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to meet Colorado. You can bet they
Speaker 1: have some good tomahawk donators there. Tom you're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 12: Welcome and you know what, that was a great thing
Speaker 12: that your partner did putting up that Johnny Cupperson deal.
Speaker 12: That interview was great, you know, Stephen Colbert. I feel
Speaker 12: sorry for him. He's had a rough life. But you
Speaker 12: know what, the guy is filled with hate. I can't
Speaker 12: believe this guy and all he does is go after
Speaker 12: conservatives and stuff. And look, you take like Bill Maher.
Speaker 12: I love Bill Maher. I watched the show all the time,
Speaker 12: you know, because he attacks everybody. He does it evenly,
Speaker 12: you know, Yeah, and much more surprised me at all.
Speaker 2: Much more lately.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, no, I mean, there's just not going to
Speaker 1: be the market. It's it's why you don't hear many
Speaker 1: lefty talk radio stations, right, they're just you have some
Speaker 1: you have some talented lefties who've tried to do talk,
Speaker 1: but but there's not the market there for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he appreciate that.
Speaker 12: Nobody. There's no market for negativity, no market for that.
Speaker 1: Hey appreciate the call, Thank you, my friend, very much
Speaker 1: so and listen, I respectfully disagree with the last point
Speaker 1: on no market for negativity. I think that market is
Speaker 1: there depending on what you're being negative about. If you're
Speaker 1: being negative about truly bad things, then there's going to
Speaker 1: be a pretty big market for that. Because most people
Speaker 1: are good and they want to stop bad things. But
Speaker 1: the left just being constantly negative about good things, starting
Speaker 1: with America. Yeah, yeah, there's not. And let's hope there's
Speaker 1: never going to be a big enough market for that.
Speaker 1: Speaking of negativity, negati, negator in chief?
Speaker 2: Is that a word? It is now? Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: Ryan, let's go to cut fourteen, Barack Obama saying young
Speaker 1: boys need a gay man in their life for guidance.
Speaker 2: Cut fourteen place.
Speaker 13: One of the most valuable things I learned as a
Speaker 13: guy was I had a gay professor in college at
Speaker 13: a time when openly gay folks still weren't out of
Speaker 13: life who became one of my favorite professors and was
Speaker 13: a great guy and would call me out when I
Speaker 13: started saying stuff that was ignorant. Do you need that?
Speaker 13: They show empathy and kindness, And by the way, you
Speaker 13: need that person in your friend group so that if
Speaker 13: you then have a boy who is who's who's who's gay,
Speaker 13: or Don Binder or they had somebody that they can go, Okay,
Speaker 13: I'm not.
Speaker 2: Alone in this, and then I'll get you.
Speaker 1: I meant to get you another cut, Ryan, there's this
Speaker 1: other cut where he's talking about how you need gays.
Speaker 1: You need a gay in your child's life, so the
Speaker 1: child's not dependent on the parent, and the gay person
Speaker 1: can keep the parent and check. I'll get you that bite.
Speaker 1: But let me tackle what he just said right there.
Speaker 1: First of all, he was in college at a time
Speaker 1: when when gay people couldn't be open.
Speaker 2: What is he talking about?
Speaker 1: And I know the guy just lies, but what in
Speaker 1: the world is he talking about?
Speaker 2: How old is Obama?
Speaker 3: Uh, he's a little bit younger than you, but not
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, But the point is he's not older
Speaker 1: than me. No, no, And listen, when I was in college.
Speaker 1: When I was in college, you know, at first I'm
Speaker 1: a student senator, then I'm a student body president. When
Speaker 1: I was a student senator, I had an openly gay roommate.
Speaker 1: He came and he presented to the student Senate. We
Speaker 1: called it the Executive Council, the Budget for Gay Liberation.
Speaker 1: And I'm there introducing him to everybody as my roommate.
Speaker 1: What's Obama talking about? When I was student body president then,
Speaker 1: and I was part of a tri executive and then
Speaker 1: I ran for president of my own When I was
Speaker 1: student body president, my campaign manager was an openly gay
Speaker 1: guy named Walt Bloher one of the great humans you
Speaker 1: will ever meet. And by the way, when the mob
Speaker 1: came to beat me up, he was the only.
Speaker 2: One who stood with me. So what is Obama talking about?
Speaker 1: There were a lot of gays way out in the open, then, yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's just what they do, right, They play holier.
Speaker 2: Than now and then they make this stuff up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I've been very, very happily heterosexual my entire life.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't have a second thought about having a
Speaker 1: gay roommate, as I did several times if they were,
Speaker 1: you know, just great people and people of character, and
Speaker 1: you know, they kept their sex life to themselves and
Speaker 1: I kept mind to myself. Of course I didn't have one,
Speaker 1: so that wasn't hurt. But I thought I thought I
Speaker 1: was going back to the seminary then, right, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Plus if you look at where he went, and I
Speaker 6: had to look this up, but he's a graduate undergrad
Speaker 6: for his bachelor's degree at Columbia University in New York
Speaker 6: City and at Harvard just outside of Boston. His JD
Speaker 6: as Juris doctorate. Dan pretty sure when he went to college.
Speaker 6: So he was born in nineteen sixty one sixty three
Speaker 6: years old, so that puts them in college right around
Speaker 6: nineteen eighty. Yeah, lots of gays out in the open,
Speaker 6: especially on college campus, isn't, especially in New York and Boston.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just bizarre.
Speaker 1: Then I do want to I will get you that
Speaker 1: cut and we'll talk about it a little later where
Speaker 1: he talks about, oh, no, you need you need a
Speaker 1: gay person in your child's life so that they have
Speaker 1: somebody other than their parent to go to and help
Speaker 1: keep the parent in check.
Speaker 2: What a bunch of nonsense.
Speaker 1: But it's just so consistent with that leftist ideology, right
Speaker 1: that they're not your kids, just like Obama says, no,
Speaker 1: you didn't. You didn't create that success, you didn't create
Speaker 1: those jobs. It's the attitude of the left. These are
Speaker 1: not your kids. And that's why you get people like
Speaker 1: Poulists who come out the day after he's elected governor saying,
Speaker 1: hey have to keep your faith out of the public square, right,
Speaker 1: because if they've got to, they've got to separate people
Speaker 1: from their faith. They have to separate children from their
Speaker 1: parents in order to be able to ingrain the leftist
Speaker 1: ideology because it's so counter to most people's faith and
Speaker 1: it's so counter to what most parents believe, and they're
Speaker 1: they're pretty blatant about it.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 1: The only question is whether society is going to go
Speaker 1: for it or not. I think in this last election,
Speaker 1: most places in America anyway, that the country made a
Speaker 1: pretty strong statement it does not want to go down
Speaker 1: that road. Three or three seven three two five five
Speaker 1: The number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: Hey when we come back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll pull that other Obama sound. But this is
Speaker 1: hilarious and you're really going to enjoy it. As all
Speaker 1: of these Biden nights, all these key Democrats now take
Speaker 1: the fifth when they're asked under oath, was Joe Biden
Speaker 1: mentally competent to be president?
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 14: From the optics standpoint, the timing could not be worse
Speaker 14: for CBS. Colbert is such an outspoken Trump critic, he's
Speaker 14: just back from vacation, and as you showed there on
Speaker 14: Monday on his first night back from vacation, he's also
Speaker 14: a thorn in his parent company's side. So this looks
Speaker 14: to a lot of Colbert's fans like another form of
Speaker 14: capitulation by CBS to the President the United States.
Speaker 1: Well, wait a second, are you capitulating to the president
Speaker 1: or are you capitulating to reality? And the reality is
Speaker 1: this is not the the leftist America that the left
Speaker 1: thought it had achieved and that several of these networks
Speaker 1: better and thought the left was about to achieve it.
Speaker 1: That's not the country anymore, and that's not where the
Speaker 1: country's headed. So that's not where the audience is. So
Speaker 1: if you want to call that capitulation, so be it
Speaker 1: three or three SEVENE three A two five five The
Speaker 1: number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: One thing we know for sure, right is that these
Speaker 1: networks still care at least a little bit about money,
Speaker 1: and that is why we are going to end up
Speaker 1: with what we should have. It's the great thing, the
Speaker 1: power of the marketplace right and demand. Is we're going
Speaker 1: to end up with the truly funny late night show again,
Speaker 1: which means sometimes it'll offend me, sometimes I'll love the
Speaker 1: political humor, but it's going to be balanced and down
Speaker 1: the middle, and the priority is going to be funny
Speaker 1: stuff no matter which way the attack goes. And then
Speaker 1: plenty of stuff that isn't even political. There will be
Speaker 1: another show like The Carson Show again, because there's money
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: Made doing a show like this.
Speaker 1: These hardcore lefty late night shows were an extension of
Speaker 1: the politics.
Speaker 2: Of the networks that hosted them.
Speaker 6: And Dan, this texter is right on the money. I
Speaker 6: think my only concern is would a network have the
Speaker 6: money to pay it? And if they did, I think
Speaker 6: it would pay off it, says Dan. Could you imagine
Speaker 6: a Dave Chappelle late night show?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything funny, man, Don't people get it? God created
Speaker 1: us to laugh.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean humor cuts through.
Speaker 1: Humor cuts through and opens hearts and minds in a
Speaker 1: way that maybe nothing else on the face of the
Speaker 1: earth does.
Speaker 2: Created to do that.
Speaker 1: But these networks have become so caught up in their
Speaker 1: own politics they've just sacrificed a truly funny show.
Speaker 6: And Dave Chappelle, there's a fascinating interview Dave Letterman does
Speaker 6: this series. I think you can find on one of
Speaker 6: the streaming platforms that that's basically my guest needs no introduction.
Speaker 6: He used to introduce a lot of his guests that way.
Speaker 6: Letterman tries to get political, and he's in Dave Chappelle's
Speaker 6: hometown in Ohio. And Dave Chappelle is in the hometown
Speaker 6: that he grew up in with his dad. It's rural Ohio.
Speaker 6: It is Trump country, and he is not a Trumper,
Speaker 6: but he understands it and he gets it, and he
Speaker 6: refuses to condemn Trump voters or even Trump himself.
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna dig that sound up too, Dan.
Speaker 6: There was an iconic Saturday Night Live monologue that Dave
Speaker 6: Chappelle did in which he said, I get it. I
Speaker 6: understand why people like Donald Trump. And here's why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the key is are you someone who disagrees
Speaker 1: or are you a hater? There you go, because yeah,
Speaker 1: and if you disagree with Trump, fine, you can still
Speaker 1: do humor and everything else. But many of these people
Speaker 1: in all these late nights.
Speaker 2: They're haters. They're actual haters.
Speaker 3: And Chappelle does not hate Trump.
Speaker 1: And who wants to go to bed at night hating
Speaker 1: r Right, It's the opposite of what we've been taught,
Speaker 1: you know, growing up, which is, hey, you know, you
Speaker 1: got some beef with your wife or whatever, then you
Speaker 1: work it out before you go to bed at night.
Speaker 1: That you who wants to go to bed hating, and
Speaker 1: that's what they try to get you to do in
Speaker 1: these lefty shows, go to sleep at night hating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there will be another great And who do you think
Speaker 1: that comedian will be. You think it'll be a Chappelle's show,
Speaker 1: You think it'll be somebody else, But.
Speaker 2: There will be one, and before too long.
Speaker 6: I think, well Chappelle would be phenomenal. But again, you're
Speaker 6: gonna have to pay big money and is a net
Speaker 6: We're going to feel it's worth it, and is Chappelle
Speaker 6: is gonna be willing to do it because he bailed
Speaker 6: on Chappelle's show, which was genius. It was pure genius
Speaker 6: on Comedy Central about twenty years ago. But he flaked
Speaker 6: out and he went to Africa for a while. It
Speaker 6: was really weird. But I think one guy we just
Speaker 6: witnessed him host The SPS, Shane Gillis. If he hosted
Speaker 6: a show like that, it'd be kind of free wheeling fun.
Speaker 6: I don't know that he has the chops the host,
Speaker 6: that's a different element altogether, but he's got the humor
Speaker 6: and he's got the pulse of America Dan because he
Speaker 6: killed it on the SP's as the MC for that.
Speaker 1: Now tell me about fallon because I sort of tuned
Speaker 1: out all the late night shows.
Speaker 2: But but he's not a hater, is he?
Speaker 6: He's not, But he shied away from it when he
Speaker 6: had that iconic episode himself where Donald Trump was on
Speaker 6: the air he must up his hair and he took
Speaker 6: a lot of heat for that from the left, and
Speaker 6: then he capitulated, He capitulated, he surrendered, and then the
Speaker 6: woke mob got him and now he falls in line
Speaker 6: and so now he's like just everybody else, like Seth Myers,
Speaker 6: like Jimmy Kimmel, like Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 3: And that was so disappointing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that show will be coming three or three seven, one,
Speaker 1: three eight two five five the number TEXTDA and five seven,
Speaker 1: seventh through nine.
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, we've got to schedule.
Speaker 1: That show where I'm going to do the whole show,
Speaker 1: the serious topics, but it's all going to be humorous
Speaker 1: and well, you know, need a day or two to
Speaker 1: prepare for that.
Speaker 3: I'm working on pulling up some of these clips.
Speaker 6: I got another Carson one coming up just for our
Speaker 6: listeners and knowledge out there, and I'm gonna pull that,
Speaker 6: Like I said, the Chappelle SNL, the portion where he
Speaker 6: talks about Donald Trump and try to get a concise question.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But what I'm talking about in the show that we're
Speaker 1: planning to do is that the challenge for me just
Speaker 1: is it'd be a challenge for you on your great
Speaker 1: show if you're going to try to do a humorous
Speaker 1: take on all the serious topics of the day without
Speaker 1: just doing Rodney danger Phil jokes.
Speaker 2: And we can do that. But speaking of.
Speaker 1: Which, you want to hear something funny, Yeah, let's do
Speaker 1: these back to back. Let's do first a little bit
Speaker 1: of another top Biden official taking the fifth and then
Speaker 1: we'll do kind of the funny spin on that cut.
Speaker 2: Thirty three.
Speaker 15: Please Thomas Thomas advised President Biden on the handling of
Speaker 15: classified documents found in his garage.
Speaker 5: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully, respectfully declined to
Speaker 5: answer the question pursuing to my fifth Man rights under
Speaker 5: the Constitution.
Speaker 15: The record will reflect that Miss thomasin he has invoked
Speaker 15: the Fifth Amendment right against self and at Lasini.
Speaker 3: Please do be very clear.
Speaker 15: Are you declining to answer the question put to you
Speaker 15: solely on the ground that you believe the answer will
Speaker 15: incriminate you on.
Speaker 5: The Advisive Council, I respectfully decline to answer the question
Speaker 5: pursuing to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
Speaker 15: Miss Thomasini, did President Joe Biden or anyone else in
Speaker 15: the White House instruct you to conceal or destroy classified
Speaker 15: material found at President Biden's home or office on.
Speaker 5: The Advisive Council, I respectfully declined to.
Speaker 1: Answer the questions to make And there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of this going on now, right, So I'm really glad
Speaker 1: they're drilling down on that. This scandal has to be exposed.
Speaker 1: But then here's a kind of a fun take on
Speaker 1: all of the Biden people taking the fifth cup thirty please,
Speaker 1: so many.
Speaker 16: Amendment in the Constitution of the United States, me the film,
Speaker 16: me the FIBB.
Speaker 3: Golden Threefold, A lot of that, A.
Speaker 2: Lot of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope they drill down and identify everybody involved
Speaker 1: in that scandal. Hey, texture said, Dan, how about that
Speaker 1: other Obama story that his ties to Russia Gate.
Speaker 2: I'll talk about that on the other side as well
Speaker 2: as
