Yeah. Yeah, and 6 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.280 fighting in the daylight. Isn't it nice to see it 7 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.120 light out at five oh six oh five? It is wonderful. 8 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.120 And it's this weekend? Isn't it that we spring forward? 9 00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:27.640 Is that right? Is it this weekend? News to me? 10 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.160 I've been keeping up. Oh, Kelly's shaking her head. Yes, 11 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.799 she knows stuff. Yeah, we'll can hate that for you. 12 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.240 We don't want to mislead you there, I like. But 13 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.880 you like having that extra daylight at the end of 14 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.320 the day, right, Yeah? I do. So that's the thing, Dan. 15 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:45.719 Would you rather we keep things at spring forward forever 16 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.960 or at fall back forever and not do daylight savings? 17 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.679 Wow? I'd have to think about that, all I know. 18 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.920 It's easy. I don't have to think about it. I 19 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:01.159 want it light out later in the summer plan because 20 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.000 there's some plan out there that would have it dark 21 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.120 at Colorado at seven on a summer evening. 22 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.319 I forget that bang it fall back, and I'm with you. 23 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.480 I want to stay at spring forward. 24 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.480 Yeah, I'm all for that. I'm all for that, my friend. Hey, 25 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.480 we got a lot to talk about. Let's see, Dan, 26 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.280 please explain why lesbians should not be banned with trans 27 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:25.040 men from women's sports and locker rooms. Both seek sex 28 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.760 from women, no difference, banned them. I cannot believe that's 29 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.000 a serious text, first of all, And we open the 30 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.680 first hour this way because it is so encouraging, right, 31 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.599 And that's what we've been predicting for a long time, 32 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.239 that eventually the tipping point would come on this transceanity, 33 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:45.239 this whole crazy idea of allowing men in women's locker 34 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.000 rooms and showers and men in women's sports and all 35 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.359 of that. It's so ludicrous that that eventually it was 36 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.000 going to collapse of its own weight. And with the 37 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.840 election of President Trump, it's collapsing fast. And the latest 38 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.400 example is Gavin newsom Ner of California, who really could 39 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.879 have helped himself if he'd shown a little political courage 40 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.519 on this a year or so ago. But he waits 41 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.000 until right after the Democrats get thumped on November four 42 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:11.800 on this issue, and comes out and says, yeah, it 43 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.080 is unfair. It is unfair to have men playing in 44 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.560 women's sports. So how soon will the rest of the 45 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:21.840 lemmings follow him? Now? It's so obvious, right, is it 46 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.680 even worth discussion when you're talking about lesbians, you're talking 47 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:31.000 about females, you're talking about biological females. So again, this 48 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.560 cannot be a serious text. Obviously, biological females should be 49 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.800 allowed in women's sports, no matter what their sexual preference is. 50 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.199 You know, this issue of Okay, then you've got somebody 51 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.759 in a shower, whether it's a male attracted man or 52 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.879 a female attracted to females in the shower. Yeah, I 53 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:58.840 understand that's awkward. I'm not promoting or anything else, you know, homosexuality. 54 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.039 That's not the point. Of the point is if anybody's 55 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.159 talking about banning people from sports, that's illogical. And then 56 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:10.599 the shower thing, the locker room thing, Yeah, I just 57 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.840 don't think there's anything that can be done about that. 58 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.719 Have you had that experience? Ryan, like being in and 59 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.879 I think there are fewer and fewer showers right now 60 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.000 that are just like big barn, wide open kind of showers. 61 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.599 But like back when I was in college, they were 62 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.360 all that way, and so I'd go to the Cux Center, 63 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.520 you know, and because you go there and I just 64 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.400 couldn't believe it, coming here from Chicago's big, beautiful Rex Center, 65 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.039 and you play basketball, you do this, you do that, 66 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.000 and then you'd go into like this big barn shower 67 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.879 right where everybody's in there buck naked. And yeah, there 68 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.039 was far more than one occasion where where you face 69 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.960 the reality of somebody in there taking an interest in you. Yeah, 70 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.400 you've encountered this thing. Oh maybe I'm now Listen, we're 71 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.560 talking about back in the day. We're talking about college. 72 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.439 I know, in the big wide open showers at the 73 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.080 CU Rec Center. I bet they don't even have that now. 74 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.520 I bet it's all like individual stall stuff. 75 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.199 Now when I go to the fitness center where I 76 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.039 work out, it is individual stalls, and they're much higher grade, 77 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:13.759 higher class. 78 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:14.199 You get. 79 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.879 You know, everybody wants their privacy. This is why I 80 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.360 never understood. You know, women in their restrooms get stalls, 81 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.519 and that's great. And then for us men, a lot 82 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.759 of times you talk about the barnyard showers, how about 83 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.600 the bathtub urinals? Like I don't want to oh really, 84 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.600 you don't Wrigley Field. 85 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.600 Steam sores all the day. Whiskey Park, Yeah, I loved it. 86 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.480 I'd go back in there when I didn't have to go. Yeah, 87 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.160 that was the highlight of every game. 88 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:42.040 Yeah. 89 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.439 And then Comisky Park they would have this sign over 90 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:50.560 there that would say future White Sox players only, and uh, okay, 91 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.839 and my dad I went in there with them. My dad, Hey, 92 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.240 you know, go over there. And I said, I can't 93 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.480 do that. I'm not sure I'm going to make the team, 94 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:00.399 you know, I think. 95 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.439 Okay, in all seriousness to the Texter's point, if they 96 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:04.680 are serious, and I don't think they. 97 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.079 Are, not a disingenuous one. 98 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.839 But there's an obvious reason why a woman in a 99 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.199 vulnerable setting and situation they've got all of their clothes off. 100 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.519 Why in intact male in that environment is much different. Ah, 101 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.879 my little biological lesbian themes. 102 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.319 Total madness right in American reject America rejected that on 103 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.720 election day. But are there a you know, can you 104 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.560 take any like these big burn showers around anymore? 105 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:29.680 No? 106 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.160 I wonder if there are. They're outdated, and I'm sure 107 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:32.959 somewhere do. 108 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.800 But in my experience, you're right, it's changed it's evolved 109 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.519 where yeah, men want privacy too. I mean I do, anyway, 110 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.560 I don't know about the rest of the men out there, 111 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:43.839 and they're not. 112 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.920 Oh that's that's a great question. That's I'm kind of 113 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.120 out of that loop right now obviously. But because yeah, 114 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.959 I mean anywhere I would go to shower right now 115 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.560 would be why I didn't want to get too personally. 116 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.079 But I just mean most showers now, for most married couples, 117 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.560 I mean most master bath showers have multiple shower heads 118 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.959 in there, but that's obviously for the spouses. But yeah, no, 119 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.560 I'm not in any situation now that I can think of, 120 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.600 and I'd remember if I was where it was just 121 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.040 the old big barn shower kind of thing. But look, 122 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.240 you see in Revenge of the Nerds and movies like that. 123 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.240 You know that I never thought twice about it in 124 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.360 high school, and there was never any kind of incident 125 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.439 in high school. And listen, I've got anybody who just 126 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.720 joined us. I am so grateful for every day I 127 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.120 head at CU Boulder, and I love that place, and 128 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.120 I still love that place, and any kid who gets 129 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.839 to go there, I think is lucky. We have so 130 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.040 many great schools in the state. You look at everything 131 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.560 CSU is doing. So don't take any of this as 132 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.959 anti SeeU. I think it is just a gem. But 133 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.560 the problem in those situations back there was when a 134 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.600 guy was interested in you. You knew it, you know 135 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.879 what I mean. It was It's just the visual on 136 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:02.720 the other side of that. 137 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.240 So you know, I'm watching stranger things and it's right 138 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.920 up my alley. It's the gen X childhood experience of 139 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.040 the eighties, and one of those was being terrified of 140 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.639 going into the gym room showers that you're describing, and 141 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.560 you had to keep your head on a swivel. And 142 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.199 it wasn't because of what you just mentioned, but it 143 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.480 was because you get whipped with these towels, you know, 144 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.000 these guys that are take a snap right at your 145 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.600 back side, Like I don't want to deal with that. 146 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.199 But you would feel so bad, right, you'd feel so 147 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.160 bad for those kids who, you know, for whatever reason 148 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:37.120 they just physically or whatever, it was just so terrifying 149 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.600 for them to go into those situations in high school. 150 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.959 I felt so bad for him. Oh yeah, and yeah. 151 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:48.000 So anyway. Texter Dan on the Colorado Governor's race as 152 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.560 a Colorado Native the Republicans have proven themselves capable of 153 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.600 grasping defeat repeatedly. I'd love to have someone actually fire 154 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.720 up to conversation, but none have stepped up. So I 155 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.000 think the point of this Texter explains why nobody wants 156 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.480 wants to talk about the Colorado governor's race. I just 157 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.439 think throughout the Democratic Party at pardon me, the Republican 158 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.759 Party in Colorado, there's a widespread assumption that the GOP 159 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.319 just can't win stay wide, and that's why nobody wants 160 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.879 to talk about it because I think it's a waste 161 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.199 of their time to talk about it. I disagree with that. 162 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.759 I think there is a window now, but again, I 163 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.920 think that's why we just don't get action on that topic. 164 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.959 And yeah, maybe it'll be different as we get closer. Conversely, 165 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.600 I think the other reason we don't get action on 166 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:34.039 it is the Democrats are so sure that they could 167 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.799 they could run a goat, and I'm not talking about 168 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:38.840 a good goat, you know, like a Tom Brady goat. 169 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.480 They could just run a goat and win. I think 170 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.600 is the Democrats attitude they could run anybody and win. 171 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.679 Don't you think that's their attitude? Grind that they're politically bulletproof. 172 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.720 They don't fear losing or being challenged, and that's dangerous 173 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.919 one party rule. I don't even say it in a 174 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.960 lot of cases, maybe on the other side in ruby 175 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.919 red states where maybe things get a little out of 176 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.240 hand and too far to the right, but especially in 177 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.600 Democrat only states, because they become drunk with power, they 178 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:05.480 feel invincible. 179 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.440 Like you just said, that's exactly right. 180 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.080 They're not held accountable because they're not even run against 181 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.919 in a primary. There was some few exceptions, like with 182 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.159 the two Communists who got booted out of their state 183 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.639 house districts. Yeah, this past election, but it's rare. 184 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.240 It doesn't happen a lot. But it's another reason why 185 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.840 the GOP really has a chance. And I'm not talking 186 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.159 about a dumb and dumber chance. I think the GOP 187 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.759 really is a chance in both the governor's race and 188 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.320 the center race. And part of it is that Democrats 189 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.840 are so confident. So yeah, I think stars are aligning 190 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.879 there to create at least that possibility. Three or three 191 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.440 someone three eight two five five text D five seven 192 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.080 seven three nine. When we come back, Ye're going to 193 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.960 get you some more of that really fun sound. We 194 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.960 didn't have enough time with it yesterday from that really 195 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.200 major political event. Can't even quote a speech on Tuesday 196 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:57.039 night some of the great questioning of Mike Johnston, Mayor 197 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.480 of Denver by members of our congressional delegate. And I 198 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.559 do want to get your take on this. What was 199 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.080 behind this enormous Ash Wednesday turnout? I mean, it's always big, right, 200 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.039 but if you're somebody went for ashes in your particular 201 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.200 Christian denomination, you probably saw it. It was and it 202 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.279 looks like it was across the country. Just this explosion 203 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.039 of turnout on Ash Wednesday. What do you think is 204 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.360 driving that? You're on the Dan Capla. 205 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:34.840 Show and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 206 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.960 Trump said many times tariffs is his favorite word. I 207 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.679 would say the reciprocal is probably the second favorite way. 208 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.279 And I think we have to be open to the idea. 209 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.200 If you want to be a numbskull like justin trade 210 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.000 and say oh we're going to do this, then it's 211 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.840 gonna Terriffs are going to go up. But if you 212 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.759 want to sit back, have a discussion with the Commerce 213 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.279 Department US two. Are they all have my phone number? 214 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:02.480 Two? 215 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.399 I am happy to have a discussion with our foreign 216 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.919 counterparts that says that here's what we think you were doing, 217 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.000 and the tariffs are the actual easier part. 218 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.279 Yeah, and listen, I'm not going to claim to be 219 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.240 an expert on tariffs. I'm not. But I do trust 220 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.600 President Trump. I trust him on this economic stuff. But 221 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.759 what I trust even more broadly than that is is 222 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.240 he is somebody with the boldness and the vision to 223 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.120 have a real chance to break the cycle and to 224 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.720 reshape things for the better. And he is absolutely convinced 225 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.080 that tariffs are the way to do that. Now, obviously, 226 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.440 you know, his plan may very well be the threat 227 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.919 of tariff's here gets you this over there, and then 228 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.639 tariffs staying in place here means something long term. Whatever 229 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.879 it is, I just trust the guy on it. But 230 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.519 this I also know this. I also know that we 231 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:02.200 need some kind of major disruption and to get to 232 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.639 where we need to go right because the reality of 233 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.840 this nation economically is we are becoming to Americas because 234 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.200 of lefty policies. We're becoming the haves and the have 235 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.200 nots because of lefty policies, and a healthy nation cannot 236 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.080 move forward that way. And I think President Trump sees that. 237 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.960 I think you see his commitment to working people. I 238 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.080 think you see his commitment to very concrete things to 239 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.360 change the art and listen, Yeah, there's going to be 240 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.519 some pain in the meantime. Can anybody think of anything 241 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.320 there might be something out there? Can anybody think of 242 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:44.039 any great change that comes without some pain? Can anybody 243 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.559 think of anything there? I'd love your take on that. 244 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.480 Da n five seven seven three nine three or three 245 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.240 seven three eight two five five. And that's one of 246 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.320 the reasons we're in such a mess. The biggest reason 247 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.960 is this lefty stuff. The other reason crosses party lines, 248 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.879 and that is that, you know, get power, they want 249 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.080 to keep power, especially the higher up the jobs, and 250 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.720 then they don't want to do the things that can 251 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.080 really lead to big, lasting change because there's pain that 252 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:14.840 comes first. And Joe when he was playing football, he 253 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:19.879 had this great strength and conditioning coach whose favorite saying was, 254 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.480 everybody wants to go to heaven, nobody wants to die, right. 255 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:28.720 And so I think Trump, though, is maybe the only 256 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.360 figure political figure in my lifetime who is willing to 257 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.120 undergo that short term pain for long term gain. And 258 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.200 he's even a better position to do it now in 259 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.320 this second term, right because he doesn't have to stand 260 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.039 for re election again. But I have no doubt in 261 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.960 my mind at all about the sincerity of his motives. 262 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.440 That what he cares about most right now he doesn't 263 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.200 have to worry about when another election, is his legacy 264 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:59.200 about really making this change and being regarded as somebody 265 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.279 who really plish these things. That's why Ryan, I've got 266 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.799 to laugh when people talk about Putin's Patsy this and 267 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.120 that and way beyond the Well, wait a second, Putin 268 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.480 didn't invade when he was president, way beyond that, Because 269 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.000 does anybody really think Trump is going to go cut 270 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:21.639 a deal for Ukraine that you know it makes Putin 271 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.039 the obvious winner, a deal that is way out of 272 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.240 whack and imbalanced against Ukraine. Of course not, for a 273 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.039 lot of different reasons. First, I think that Trump wants 274 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:36.519 something that's truly fair, and Trump understands that Putin is 275 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.519 the aggressor here, the invader, etc. I think President Trump 276 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.559 is saying what he needs to say publicly to try 277 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.320 to get the parties to the table and do a deal. 278 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.399 And he's obviously got his own way of managing Putin 279 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:51.720 which worked before. But No, Trump is going to want 280 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.519 there to be a lot of respect for Trump after 281 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.039 this deal, and that only happens if the deal appears 282 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.919 fair and reasonable. So no bottom line on tariffs and 283 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:04.080 all that stuff. I don't claim to be an expert 284 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.639 on it, but I just trust Trump on it, and 285 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.279 he has earned that trust, I think, through the first 286 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.759 term and much more. Let's go up to beautiful Boulder, Colorado. 287 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:14.639 I started a trial up there a week from Monday. 288 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.279 Cannot wait. Some of the greatest memories of my life 289 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.159 in Boulder, Kevin. You're on the Dan Kapla show. Will 290 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.600 you be another one of those great memories, Kevin? 291 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:25.600 Pertaining to what? 292 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.480 Oh it was more joke, but now welcome to the show. 293 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.279 Well, I'm always a great memory anyway, So no need 294 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:41.360 to worry about that. This wouldn't work most likely with 295 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:49.840 Trump's mandate. But I am in favor of mixed teams 296 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.200 as long as the official rules allow it, and it 297 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.960 can be reasonably proven none that not one of the 298 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.559 players on it, any team, were co worced or forced 299 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:09.159 into it. Go to any beach, you know, speaking non professionally, 300 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.480 Go to any beach or private club, you'll find mixed 301 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:21.679 and you'll find male females playing racquetball, volleyball, billiards, nice rolling, 302 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:22.440 target shooting. 303 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.200 What about girls high school sports? Should men be able 304 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.360 to play? 305 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:32.679 Well, I don't like the idea myself, but speaking constitutionally, 306 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:42.840 I it's a hard call because you have Because I'm speaking, 307 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:51.320 there are several factors. Financially, personally, I don't know. I'd 308 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:52.240 have to think about that. 309 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:53.440 I'm against. 310 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:58.679 I'm against people being forced to accept it, well, girls 311 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.200 forced to accept it. I'm total, which. 312 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:03.639 Means he would be opposed to it, right, I mean, 313 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.279 because there's no constitutional right of a male to walk 314 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.960 into a girl's shower or a male to play a 315 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.519 girl's sport, which often involves being in the shower. 316 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:15.920 Well, I would rule something like that out. 317 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:18.799 Yeah, yeah, I've got to hit this hard break here. 318 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.400 I'm surprised that Kevin hesitated on that at all. I 319 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.880 think it's one of the clearest things in the history 320 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:29.039 of the planet. But fortunately a vast majority of Americans agree, 321 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:30.839 And that's part of the news of the day if 322 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.119 you just joined us. Even Gavin Newsom now says it's 323 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.079 unfair to have boys and men playing in girls and 324 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.799 women's sports. So the damn is breaking there. Yeah, what 325 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.599 political courage you know, says it after election day when 326 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.359 Democrats get thumped over it. Hey, when we come back, 327 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.559 we're going to play some more of that fun sound. 328 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.559 Members of the GOP Congressional delegation Calraud are doing such 329 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.799 a great job, great job with Mike Johnston, mayor of Denver. 330 00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.799 Will savor some of that, some of the greatest hits 331 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.720 from Trump's triumph and Tuesday Night as well in this 332 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.759 big broom on ash Wednesday, the big turnout of churches. 333 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:07.839 What do you think, Drovitch, you're on the Dankplas Show. 334 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.799 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 335 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.440 See that's interesting. Is there any place on Earth where 336 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.960 you've been and you look at it and say, yeah, 337 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.000 that that's heaven right there. That must be what heaven 338 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:28.440 looks like. 339 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:28.720 Oh. 340 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.960 I could think of several places. My grandfather's cabins in Ontario, 341 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.880 Canada very much reflective of that. And I would imagine 342 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.000 for you Dan playing the masters. 343 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.079 Yeah, but interesting question. Thanks for that bump. Yeah, just 344 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.160 like a place on Earth where you just i mean, 345 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.519 just based on the way it looks, the beauty of it, 346 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.680 you just say yeah, I bet you that's what heaven 347 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.799 looks like. Do you spend much time thinking about what 348 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.440 heaven looks like? What hell looks like? 349 00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.559 I think about it, and I think about a lot 350 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.039 more since my mom passed away, Dan, And you probably 351 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.039 think about that too, being reunited. 352 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:05.640 With your parents, right, Oh my god, I think it 353 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.799 kind of sharpens the focus of those thoughts. Yeah, yeah, 354 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:12.720 oh my goodness. Yeah. And eight five five or zer 355 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:14.759 five x two five five the number text d A 356 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:16.599 N five seven, seventh through nine. It was going to 357 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:18.839 go down a different road there probably another date. But 358 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.079 I had mentioned earlier on the show that there are 359 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.240 some really to me exciting, concrete paths to victory here 360 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.039 when it comes to these enormous issues facing the state, right, 361 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.200 and I'll do a longer form show on it, but 362 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.559 they're they are there. And one of those, for example, 363 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.400 is what do you think what do you think the 364 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.720 vote would be in Colorado if you had a ballot 365 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:45.599 issue and these are you know, it takes a couple 366 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.240 of million to get it on the ballot at least, 367 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.279 but what do you think the vote would be if 368 00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:53.759 people Colorado had a chance to vote on whether they 369 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:58.720 want a new law that says people can sue sanctuary 370 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.799 cities if they get hurt there by somebody here illegally. 371 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:06.160 What do you think the vote on that would be? 372 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:09.400 Three or three? Someone three eight two five five text 373 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:12.279 d an five seven seven three nine. We had Christy 374 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.519 Burton Brown from Advanced Colorado yesterday. I'm just saying there 375 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:17.960 are a lot of things I think we could get 376 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:23.079 passed through ballot measures that could profoundly transform this state 377 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:25.720 for the better. And I do hold out home maybe 378 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:28.359 in this cycle there we'll see some Republicans win statewide, 379 00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:31.720 but the ballot, yeah, I think they're an awful lot 380 00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:34.440 of Colorado's who would go with us on some of 381 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.519 those really kind of seminal issues. Let's go to Denver, Colorado. 382 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:40.599 We'll start with Chris. You're on the Dan Kapli Show. 383 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:47.119 Welcome Chris, Thanks Dan So. I work for large US company, 384 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:53.920 multinational debt manufacturers all over the place, Israel, China, Mexico, 385 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:55.279 all over the place. 386 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.279 Yeah, and the. 387 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:01.599 Division that I work in is primarily manufactured in Mexico. 388 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:08.279 And if the tariff's going to the place, then well 389 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.319 obviously there's going to be effectively a twenty five percent 390 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.279 pump on the product. 391 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.440 It just will end up. 392 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.119 Being paid by the consumers should they choose to continue buying. 393 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:23.799 But as much as I would love to have competitive 394 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:27.759 US factories that could turn out all these products, we 395 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.519 just don't have the supply chains right now. So it's 396 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:34.200 just really just a comment I kind of wanted to make. 397 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.279 Well, thanks Chris, and you've called before. You're always a 398 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:39.319 great caller. Here's my quick take on that. Admittedly no 399 00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:41.480 expert on tariffs, right I try to read on it, 400 00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.319 but I'm no expert. But my take is this, First 401 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.640
