Now it'll 10 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.320 cost a lot more than that in the end. But 11 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.280 this garden of American Heroes that President Trumps has wanted 12 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.079 for a long time, and I think he's right to 13 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.600 or they're going to be two hundred and fifty life 14 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.759 size statues and then you'll get the full story regarding 15 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.000 the individuals, if you know you're a kid or any 16 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:47.079 of us wandering through this garden in DC, two hundred 17 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.039 and fifty American heroes, because I mean, you can only 18 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.640 have so many big heads in Mount Rushmore, right, Mount 19 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.840 Mount Rushmore, as they say in English, is awesome. But 20 00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:01.200 that's led to the conversation of a Colorado Garden of Heroes, 21 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.239 a Garden of Colorado Heroes, whose life size statues would 22 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.239 you want there? Ed, We're gonna have a hero from 23 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.719 the pro life movement join us in a minute as well. 24 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.319 But our lines are in fuego on this. I'm gonna 25 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.120 fly through and find out who people want in the 26 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.040 Colorado Garden of Heroes. 27 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.680 James and you go, you go, my friend. 28 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:28.319 Thank you. You've never heard that before, seven and eighteen times. Yeah, right, 29 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.159 I would nominate I believe it was Lieutenant Silas Sewell, 30 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:39.640 who was a part of Shovington's the soldiers who went 31 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.959 down to the Sand Creek massacre, and Lieutenant Sewell. 32 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:45.480 Held his men. 33 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.079 No motionless and would not take part in the massacre 34 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.719 when the hearing was held in Denver. After that the 35 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:03.799 whatever it was, after he testified, he was ambushed and 36 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.959 killed in Denver. And I think that he took a 37 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.120 very principal stand, and I would nominate his name. 38 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.479 Hey, you go, I'm sorry, James, and you go, thank 39 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:14.960 you for that. I'm going to look him up during 40 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.000 the break. I didn't know that story. Thank you, man, 41 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.520 appreciate that. I wonder is that who Sewell Hall is 42 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.120 named after? On CU I don't know, might just be 43 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.520 a donor. But I'm going to look that up during 44 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.840 the break. Larry and Thornton. You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 45 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.759 Welcome, Hello, Dan. I didn't know if you had seen 46 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.400 the item on TV four or five nights ago. They 47 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.560 said that Trump had submitted a different portrait, yes, since 48 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.680 he didn't like the one that Colorado. 49 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.560 Had understandably, Well, did you see that? 50 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.479 Yes, sir, Well, it looked to me like somebody had 51 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:58.479 taken his mugshot and converted the color to atrocious colors, 52 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.080 reds and orison made it look like an angry I 53 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.439 don't know somebody, but I cannot believe that was really true. 54 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:08.840 I think that's got to be fake. 55 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.520 Interesting and Larry, my understanding was the President approved of 56 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.159 the new one and he liked that look, but appreciate 57 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.960 the call. Would you agree with me the old one 58 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:19.879 that had to go? 59 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.680 That just wasn't anything. 60 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.879 Well, it didn't really even look like resemblance. No, it 61 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.919 looked Moss. It looked more like the guy that plays 62 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.439 Trump on Saturday Night Lost. 63 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:36.280 Trump well said, well, said thank you Elaine in Denver. 64 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:37.560 You're on the Dan Kapla s. 65 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.120 You're welcome. 66 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.280 Hi there, Dan, my suggestion for a garden of heroes. 67 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.360 Do you remember back when they had Daddy Bruce Randall. 68 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.919 Oh, yes, yes, yes, he should be there. Great suggestion. 69 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:55.039 He had so many free Thanksgiving dinner, yes, that he prepared, 70 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.280 not just for the homeless, but for anybody, anybody, even 71 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.840 I could go down there and if I wanted to, 72 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.199 And I always wanted to volunteer downtown with him, but 73 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.960 I never did. And then he passed on. I don't 74 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.599 know if he had anybody take over for that, yeah 75 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.280 situation or not. I don't know if he had kids. 76 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.719 And I think Dan, they may have named the street 77 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:16.399 after him. 78 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.839 Yeah they did, But you are one hundred percent right 79 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.560 a lane, and thank you for that. Yet, Daddy Bruce Randolph, 80 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.480 he should be in that Garden of heroes. And if 81 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.040 you're new to the state, you don't know the name. 82 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.240 See that's why we need a garden of Heroes, just 83 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.279 like Trump is now doing through the Big Beautiful Bill, 84 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.000 because these are people who need to be remembered for 85 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.639 what they did individually, but also what they symbolize and 86 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.759 represent and the best of us and what we want 87 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.000 to let our kids know what it is we value. 88 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:43.560 Speaking of a hero. 89 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.560 This woman is a tremendous hero the civil rights issue 90 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.639 of our day, which is life and the right to life. 91 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.079 Doctor Catherine Willer used to be an abortionist. She used 92 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.800 to perform abortions, and now she saves babies and those 93 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.600 are the ultimate heroes of this movement. But she joins 94 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.160 us each week to talk about medicine, you know, as 95 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.319 a physician, to talk about medical issues relating to abortion. 96 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.240 And today, given the South Carolina decision which allowed that state, 97 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.199 as you know by nowicing no, we're not funding abortion, 98 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.160 you know, through a medicaid program. Wanted to get the 99 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.079 doctor's take on whether this decrease of government funding of 100 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.800 planned paranoide, which is also through the Big Beautiful Bill, 101 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.560 will affect the safety net of essential women's healthcare. This 102 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.759 from a medical perspective, Doctor, welcome back to the show. 103 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.639 Hello Dan, thanks for having me back and thanks for 104 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.959 letting me talk about this. And I heard you talking 105 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.920 about it last week and saw a lot in the 106 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.759 news these claims that unless Planned Parenthood has government funding 107 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.879 in places like South Carolina and across the country, that 108 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.000 people who are at risk, low income people will not 109 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.360 be able to access care adequately. So I mean, is 110 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.079 that really true? So three primary things I would think of. 111 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.360 First of all, South Carolina had a right to not 112 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.519 fund Planned Parenthood because they have a law that they 113 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.560 they don't use public funds to go to abortion providers. 114 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.639 And of course, funds going to Planned Parenthood are fungible, 115 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.600 so even if it does not directly pay for an abortion, 116 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.319 it can be used for any of their other operating expenses, 117 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.439 which frees them up for their primary mission, which really 118 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:29.839 is abortion and advocacy, So they're really subsidizing abortion. Secondly, 119 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.040 Planned Parenthood likes to say that they're a medical provider 120 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.399 of all kinds of healthcare services, not just for women 121 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.319 but for men, and they're doing a lot of gender 122 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.720 care now, but really they're primarily an abortion provider. So 123 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.399 when you look at their annual report, and the last 124 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.800 one that I saw was twenty two to twenty three, 125 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.800 what they do is they count individual services that they 126 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.279 provide and they count them as equal value, no matter 127 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.920 what their revenue is. So for example, a woman comes 128 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:03.120 in primarily for an abortion, and so they don't count 129 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.560 that as one visit. They count every single thing they 130 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.000 do for her separately, So a pregnancy test, medication, for coming, 131 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:17.480 that's the infection screening, her exam, her counseling, contraception for 132 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.279 afterwards or perhaps near and then the abortion, and they 133 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.439 count them as you goal value, So she may get 134 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.399 eight or ten services, and the abortion may bring in 135 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.000 revenue of five hundred and eighty dollars average if it's 136 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:36.160 a drug, two thousand average if it's surgery. But everything 137 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.240 there is counted as equal value, and so it's greatly diluted. 138 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.600 So when they say four percent of what they do 139 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.759 is abortion, very twisted numbers. 140 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.240 But doesn't that tell you something, doctor, Doesn't it tell 141 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.720 you that even Planned Parenthood is embarrassed that they do 142 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.160 these abortions. Right, And just like the core terminology of 143 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.279 the big abortion movement, which is that they don't even 144 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.639 want to use the word abortion anymore. They've got to 145 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:06.720 call it something else because so many people have seen 146 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.360 ultrasounds now they get it that abortion is the taking 147 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.959 of an instant human life. So they have to call 148 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.639 it reproductive health care or something else. 149 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:20.439 Yeah, they do disccount that that's really the primary thing 150 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.720 they do. They want to be seen as healthcare providers. 151 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.160 But we've talked about this. This is not healthcare because 152 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.120 it ends a patient's life and it doesn't promote health obviously. 153 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.320 You know the other part of this is women have 154 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.399 better options for care. So plant period does not do 155 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.240 comprehensive care if she wants to continue her pregnancy, they 156 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.279 don't do prenatal care, they don't do primary care, ongoing 157 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:47.200 primary care, they refer for all of that. In fact, 158 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.399 less than one percent of the paps and you'res done 159 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.519 in the United States are done the planned parenthoods. So 160 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.039 we're not going to miss them. If they're not providing 161 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.720 that service, where will people go. Well, we've got federally 162 00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:03.360 qualified health centers outnumber planned parenthood fifteen to one. In 163 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.039 the fact, one in ten Americans access that, and they 164 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.960 do provide all of the comprehensive primary healthcare for low 165 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:14.759 income and vulnerable under serve populations. So no, we're not 166 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.919 going to have people not being able to access care. 167 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.600 There is the ability to get really excellent, high quality, 168 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:27.039 comprehensive care, truly comprehensive healthcare in other ways that planned 169 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.039 parenthood is actually not really providing. 170 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:30.600 Well, thank you for that. 171 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.000 And obviously, you know, coming from your medical perspective, it 172 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.960 carries even more weight with folks, as each of these 173 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.039 segments do right, because I'm just a firm believer the 174 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.440 truth will set us free, including from the scourge of abortion. 175 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.720 And the more people who know the true medical facts 176 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.360 when it comes to this that the more people who 177 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.559 are going to shift toward life. So thank you, doctor, 178 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.240 and any big independence state plans. 179 00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.519 Well, I will be going to Woodland Park. 180 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.360 Nice.

Well, I hope you have just 192 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.519 the most wonderful fourth of July. 193 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.440 Oh, thank you, we will you take care. 194 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:34.799 Thank you. 195 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:39.039 That's doctor Catherine Wheeler, and sure appreciate her time this week. 196 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.600 And it's it's a really cool thing about the pro 197 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.480 life movement. And I've been privileged to have a very 198 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.159 very very small part in it for many, many decades 199 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.120 because my mom I considered to be one of the 200 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.240 founders of the movement after Roe back on the South 201 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:57.879 Side of Chicago. But anyway, within this movement, you know, 202 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:02.519 the ultimate heroes my perception, I think almost everybody'd say 203 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:06.279 the same thing are the women who've had abortions and 204 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.759 then help save other lives and other women from abortions. 205 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.519 And the doctors who used to perform abortions like our 206 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.720 last guest, and then say no, this is wrong and 207 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.440 we need to go out and save lives. Hey, when 208 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.919 we come back, the President, he's getting the American Garden 209 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.200 of Heroes in the big beautiful bill. Who should be 210 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.679 in a Colorado Garden of Heroes? You're on the Dan 211 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:26.559 Kapla Show. 212 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.879 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast. 213 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.919 Now the most important vote of this Congress, and I 214 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.919 think this may be the most important vote that any 215 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.759 of us take in our entire lifetimes. And everybody better 216 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.679 remember it. However you vote today, my friends, the President 217 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.200 of the United States is waiting with his pen. The 218 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.600 American people are waiting for this relief. We've heard enough 219 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.000 talk it's time for action. Let's finish the job for him. 220 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:07.200 Vote yes on the bill that was pretty well done 221 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:08.480 and they did so. 222 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.279 Yeah, really impressed with Speaker Johnson. 223 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.559 And yeah, I talk with you about that when I 224 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.279 had the privilege of interviewing in one on one and 225 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.600 just came away thinking, Yeah, no, this this guy, I 226 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:25.919 mean just absolutely brilliant and tough and principled and yeah, 227 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.799 and he has risen to that position. And my goodness, 228 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:30.559 I mean, think about all the good things that says 229 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:36.080 to America on a conscious direct but also an implicit 230 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:41.000 kind of level, about the competence and the unity and 231 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.399 the coherence of the GOP that they were able to 232 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.759 pull this off. And whether somebody likes everything that's in 233 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.440 the bill or doesn't urse a mix, the fact that 234 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.759 GOP was able to keep these slim majorities together and 235 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.799 get this bill passed. That is a testament to leadership. 236 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.519 It's a testament to unity and to the ability to 237 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.720 get things done. And again, I don't claim to be 238 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.720 an expert on this bill, but it will also it'll 239 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.720 be great for the country in that sense, right, because 240 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.600 the Democrats are total mess and the GOP now is 241 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.200 together and organized and unified enough to get. 242 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:15.919 A bill like this through. 243 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.120 That contrast helps, and it's important to the greatest nation 244 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:25.120 on earth to have at least one functioning, unified political party, 245 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.120 and no sane person would suggest to you the Democrats 246 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.679 are so that contrast is good for the GOP heading 247 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.279 into a midterm year, and good for the country the 248 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.840 bill itself. And again I don't claim to know everything 249 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.120 in there, but I think Trump has shown. Trump has 250 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:46.440 shown a tremendous ability when it comes to understanding what 251 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.960 makes this US economy go and how to get it there. 252 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.080 And so he's fully committed to this idea of growing 253 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.679 our way out of this debt and deficit trouble. And 254 00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.240 so this bill is intended to provide. 255 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.120 That kind of fuel. And so I think he has. 256 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:06.159 Earned that trust and I'm looking forward to watching it happen. 257 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.279 I mean selfishly, Yeah, I'm happy there isn't going to 258 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.080 be the tax increase that would have happened if the 259 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.120 Trump tax cuts had expired, which they would have without 260 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.919 this bill. And I haven't seen the particulars yet on 261 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:20.960 no tax on tips, But I. 262 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.679 Just love the idea. 263 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.799 I love the idea that so many working people are 264 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.120 going to get that kind of relief. I was always 265 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.000 raised to believe and I still believe it and do 266 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:31.480 my best to live it. 267 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.440 That about the best money you. 268 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.240 Can spend, other than if there's a starving person in 269 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:38.519 front of you, the best money you can spend is 270 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.279 on tipping people because those I mean, you get a 271 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.200 chance to meet the person, just size them up. 272 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:46.000 You know they're out there working hard. 273 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.080 And it's just kind of that direct return and the 274 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.600 idea that people don't have to pay money on those tips. 275 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.080 And I used to work for tips as a golf 276 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.240 caddy and short time as a bartender until it interfered 277 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.480 with studies too much. Plus, at that time, Zach, I 278 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.720 thought I was going back to the seminary, and so 279 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.919 after college I was in a high school seminary and 280 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.200 then got an Evans Caddy scholarship to see you Boulder. 281 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:10.840 So I thought I'd come to see you Boulder, then 282 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.480 go back to the major seminary. And so working in 283 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.399 a bar at night was not really conducive to my 284 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:18.519 planned return. 285 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.919 To the seminary. If you know what I mean. It 286 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.639 doesn't quite line up. No, no, it did not. It 287 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:23.919 did not. 288 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.759 But so that's why I left my work in the bar, 289 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:29.639 but I used to do a lot of work for tips, 290 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.240 and I you know, I don't know if other people 291 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.320 are the same. I'm not choking up. I'm just choking 292 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:39.080 on peanut butter. I mean, like I can literally sitting 293 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.320 here right now, I can picture it. I can remember 294 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.679 a guy who gave me a particularly good tip when 295 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.759 I was working as a caddy, like a long time ago, 296 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.320 and when I was working as a car parker, you know, 297 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.080 so you remember the and believe it or not, when 298 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:58.559 I was working as a bar tap, I mean, you 299 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.159 remember those things. So happy to see people who work 300 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.600 for tips get some real relief. 301 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.279 And I understand the arguments on the other side. 302 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.720 I respect those, but I just think this country, this party, 303 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.519 the GOP, and the country, there's just so much more 304 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.080 that has to be focused on working people, you know, 305 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.240 for this country to be what it needs to be, 306 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:22.240 for the GOP to be what it should be, and 307 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.600 for the GOP to be successful, because what knows, Democrats 308 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.759 are not the party of the working people anymore. I 309 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:31.879 don't think any sane person, any honest person, would try to. 310 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:32.879 Contend that they are. 311 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.080 And that's been a fascinating thing for me to watch, 312 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.000 at least as a kid who grew up a Democrat. 313 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:44.559 I was a Democrat till my thirties and just proud 314 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:45.080 of it. 315 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:49.240 Because you know John Kennedy, and you know the party 316 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.399 that stood for the working men and women and for 317 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.200 the week in defense US and then over time, but 318 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:58.039 certainly the big turning point was legalized abortion. Then all 319 00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.000 of a sudden, the party that I thought stood for 320 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.879 all those good things, you know what, was now the 321 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.720 opposite and has continued to be and get even worse. 322 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:08.880 So this is one of the reasons I'm so optimistic 323 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:14.200 for America is there are so many good people, patriotic Americans, 324 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:19.519 conservative Americans who have the same good intentions that the 325 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:24.279 vast majority of Republicans have, who still vote Democrat out 326 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:28.200 of habit and out of the stereotype, the negative stereotype 327 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.160 of the GOP. So one of the reasons I'm so 328 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.519 optimistic is that we're starting to see it happened in layers, right, 329 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:36.359 but the day is going to come when a whole 330 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.640 lot tipping point kind of moment when a whole lot 331 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.319 of people who normally vote Democrat start voting Republican. And 332 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:45.359 you don't need that many flips to all of a 333 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.920 sudden dramatically change landscape. But I get the Colorado is 334 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.720 a harder nut to crack. But on this Independence Day weekend, 335 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.640 it's good to remember the bigger the challenge, right, the 336 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.640 bigger the privilege. Three h three someone three eight two 337 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.440 five five takes d an five seven seven three nine. 338 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.839 In the Big Beautiful Bill, we have forty million dollars 339 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.079 set aside and it'll just be seed money. The final 340 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.480 cost will be much more, but worth it for President 341 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:16.640 Trump's Garden of American Heroes lifetime statues of two hundred 342 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.680 and fifty American heroes. If we were to do that 343 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:21.759 kind of Garden of Colorado hero say down at the Capitol, 344 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.759 and first you'd have to start to protect the Capitol 345 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:26.400 in downtown. 346 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.279 But who should be in that garden? Love your thoughts? 347 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.720 Three or three seOne three eight two five five d 348 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.359 an five seven seven three nine. 349 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:43.839 You're on the Dan Caplish, you're listening to the Dan 350 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.200 Kapliss Show podcast. 351 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.119 They even get tired of winning, and you'll say, please, please, 352 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:54.759 it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore, mister President. 353 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.039 It's too much and I'll say. 354 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:57.559 No, it isn't. 355 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.400 We have to keep winning. We have to win more. 356 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:01.759 We're gonna win more. 357 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.519 We gotta be top ten. Trump sound never get tired 358 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.680 of that bite. And what a perfect day to play. 359 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.079 It, right, I mean, we're heading into Independence Day weekend. 360 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.559 Just a monumental win on the big beautiful bill. And 361 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.079 imagine how tough it had to be to herd those 362 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.200 cats to get that through with such narrow margins. And 363 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:25.440 obviously it doesn't happen without the big role that President 364 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.880 Trump has been on, a great job by the Speaker 365 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.039 and by John Thuns. So yeah, the whole idea behind this, 366 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:37.559 obviously is to fuel economic growth to increase government revenues 367 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.880 that way to tackle that and deficit. And President Trump 368 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:46.839 obviously firmly committed to saving America that way because something's 369 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.799 got to change, right, I mean, if we continue on 370 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.559 the current road, then America will meet economic rule. So 371 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:57.440 something has to change. Trump committed to doing it through growth. 372 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:01.079 This bill designed to accomplish that. I think he has 373 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:05.480 certainly proven that he understands the American economy and how 374 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:08.480 to make it work. And he's had tremendous success under 375 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:13.680 very adverse circumstances, particularly in the first term, so trust 376 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:16.240 him and be anxious to see this go to work. 377 00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:19.519 So we've been talking about a few individual pieces, but 378 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.640 one that's also really intriguing is there's forty million in here, 379 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.240 and it'll just be the seed money, right, but forty 380 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.079 million in here for a garden of American heroes and 381 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.319 it's going to be two hundred and fifty statues and 382 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:33.880 then there'll be a process for deciding who gets in 383 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.559 there of American heroes from all different walks of life. 384 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.319 And I love this idea, assuming they pick the right 385 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:43.119 people and they do it right of you know, the 386 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:46.000 school kids who go to DC and the rest of us, 387 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.880 you know, just wandering through this big garden and these 388 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:53.039 life size figures, and then they'll be all the interactive stuff, 389 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.960 right And yes, so I probably be able to play 390 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.839 catch with Mickey Mantle, or at least canical version of 391 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:05.160 Mickey Mantle. So I love this concept, and in Colorado, 392 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:07.559 I would not trust it in lefty hands right now. 393 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:09.480 Can you imagine who they'd put in the garden. 394 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.000 But I'd love to see that once the state regains 395 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:15.759 its sanity. I'd love to see it up around the 396 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.079 Capitol and Civic Center Park, and you know, the kids 397 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.200 would be able to see like what we value, you know, 398 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.319 the people who represent the things we really value. So 399 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:28.160 asking you who would you want in there? So we're 400 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.400 talking about that, We're talking about lots of other things. 401 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.200
