This is Dan Caples and welcome totoday's online podcast edition of The Dan Caplis
Show. Please be sure to giveus a five star rating if you'd be
so kind, and to subscribe,download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Glad you are here. It may
be the perfect day, which Iguess is its own topic, what does

(00:20):
the perfect day look like? Butthis may be the perfect day in Colorado
or anywhere. Eight five five fourzero five eight two five five the number
text d an five seven seven thirtynine. If we're back in school,
we'd say, hey, let's dothe show outside, which we probably could,
right. I mean, we've gotso much remote broadcast capability these days.

(00:40):
Ninety degrees out there day? Isit really ninety ninety degree? I
was listening to your show, Ryandoes this great show in the Denver market
two to four, just before thisshow, and really could you have that
last segment on abortion was really good, and I thought I heard Susan Feelin
on traffic in Denver say ninety degrees, and I thought, no way.
I've been in depots all day,so I've been locked up. But I
looked at, you know, mycar and it said seventy seven or seventy

(01:04):
eight. I guess I need anew car. I guess. So maybe
you just weren't in direct sunlight foran extended period of times. You shouldn't
have to be able to get theright temperature in your car. It's really
ninety degrees. But see, that'sa beautiful thing about Colorado, right is
we don't get the humidity. Imean, if it was ninety degrees where
I grew up in Chicago, you'dhave dead bodies everywhere. But it's amazing
how God made us to acclimate.Because you know, I was talking about

(01:27):
this the other day and nobody wantedto hear it. But the day I
left for college, my dad andI Chicago police officer, we went out.
It's ninety five degrees in Chicago.Humidity was probably one hundred and ten
percent. And you know, wewent out and we played a three and
a half hour tennis game. AndI mean, our tennis game isn't like
these little Wimbledon types. I meanpeople are diving, they're bleeding. I

(01:52):
mean, this is real man tennis. And we went out and played and
to my dad's credit, and Godlove him, and he is and this
is part of the reason why isthe very last point and we you know,
all these tie breakers, all thesesets, everything else, the very
and we're playing outside in the citypark. We bring our own net,
right because people steal the nets,so you bring your own net and then

(02:13):
you climb the fences and you throwthe net over the top. I mean,
this is real man tennis. Sothe very last point I win and
the thing just barely nicks the line. Now, most other fathers in America
would have called it out. Mydad little bit of hesitation, but he
called it in. And you know, I will never forget that moment eight

(02:34):
five five Was there a five etwo five to five? I know that's
exactly what you tuned into this showfor. Yeah, family tennis history has
matched decades ago. But the pointbeing, we don't have the humidity,
so you could be outside. Itcould be ten below zero, you could
be outside doing normal stuff as longas there's not a big win. It
can be one hundred degrees here,and you know, you can be doing

(02:55):
normal stuff because we don't have thehumidity. So only the left could screw
this place up, right, That'swhat we're getting to. If we're all
lottery winners. We've been handed oneof the most beautiful places in the entire
world, and so you've got likethis guaranteed success. This is as close
to Garden of Eden on earth asyou can ever get, and only the

(03:19):
Left could screw it up the waythey have. And we'll get into some
of those details today. I gottaget to this story. Did you see
this one? Ryan? This isone of my favorite stories of the year,
in part because of the mystery.But there is a story out there,
and I'll get you all the detailsabout a Denversity Council member who is
ceasing public appearances because of a mysterysubstance that she was exposed to during a

(03:45):
public appearance. So I'll get intothat, if not this segment, the
next, but just just one ofthose fun things out there. And then
you know, I'm an optimist,but I also believe this is true.
I love seeing what the Appellate Courtjust did in Georgia, and there's no
way to know whether it's related tothis farce in New York. You know,

(04:08):
there's this extraordinarily wrongful conviction. Butwhen you see the higher court steping
in Georgia and they just did ittoday and indefinitely pause the prosecution against Trump
until the higher court can have thishearing done in October on the motion to
kick this da off the case becauseof her affair with the other prosecutor.

(04:30):
I look at that, and I'mjust thinking, you know what, I
agree with you, you hat onthis, And I bet you there are
courts all over this nation that arelooking at this monstrosity what happened in New
York and are saying, you know, this is so wrong. It so
undermines confidence in the system nationwide.The way that judge acted in New York,

(04:51):
that's not how real judges act,Democrat and Republican across America. And
you wonder, now you see thisin Georgia. You see down in the
federal case in Miami. You sawthat right where the federal court judge is
now going to have this big hearingon whether Jack Smith even has the legal
authority to prosecute this case. AndI just I think both sides of the

(05:16):
aisle, you see an awful lotof people who just know that that system
was perverted to now Trump and arepushing back in their own ways. I
can't say that's what's happening in Georgia. But I'm glad to see it whatever
it is, because that case also, and I've been saying it from the
beginning, obviously politically motivated, obviouslya distortion of the system as the founders
envisioned it. So glad to seethat case right now on quote unquote indefinite

(05:42):
hold. And speaking of hold,that's what the polls are doing, Dan,
and the post conviction they continue toroll out. Some of them might
be OK. But Georgia the stateyou're talking about, Quinnipiac Poles, so
that's rather neutral. Trump still plusfive in Georgia with the third party camps
included RFK Junior, Cornell West,Jill Stein at bumps up one point,

(06:03):
Trump plus six out of Michigan MNSMitchell Research, very trustworthy poll there.
Again, this is post conviction.Trump and Biden tied forty eight and with
the third party candidates, Trump plusone in Michigan. Now, and thank
you for that. When I sawthat, Ryan, because I was in
depot all day, I didn't havetime to do this research. Can you

(06:24):
tell whether that's a dip for Trump? Has he just telled steady? Has
he gained that? That's what Ididn't have time to figure out. We'll
figure it out sometime during the show. But he's still up negligible effect,
a net positive a little bit.In Michigan. He had been kind of
trailing in subsequent polls leading into thatone, So if anything, no negative
effect for sure in Michigan, andin Georgia about the same. So I'm

(06:47):
looking at this and I don't thinkmuch has changed Dan in the wake of
those convictions. Well, and weknow it's going to happen eventually, right,
I thought it'd take a couple ofweeks to sort out before he then
gets the next big swing up,because it's going to take a couple of
weeks to get away from the originaleffect and then people to stop and have
time to look back. And Ithink that whole thing was a farce.
Obviously a lot of people knew thatday one, but then to start shifting

(07:11):
back to Okay, what really mattersto me, what's best for me,
what's best for my family. Itis Biden mentally competent, you know that
kind of stuff. So I don'tthink there's any doubt that that very very
soon will see this be a clearbenefit to Trump. But in any case,
I want to make sure you sawthe headline about that indefinite stay in
Georgia eight five five vers five Atwo five five the number text that came

(07:34):
in overnight. I wanted to mentionto you because I I just think it's
it's something everybody's dealing with right now, and I wonder how you're dealing with
it, and whether you have anysuggestions a text or oh, Alexa,
our friend Alexa, and this isa human Alexa. This isn't like that
box that listens to every conversation.Dan Tucker Carlson talked about going to a
nice restaurant in DC. No alcoholfor four people was eight hundred dollars,

(07:59):
and are you surprised by that?I don't know how anybody could be.
Don Junior then said his meal andMcDonald's for himself and two sons was forty
six. That from Alexa. Iwonder how much of a shift we're going
to see in America right now,because I know we're seeing it in our
family. And listen, we're allblessed with good jobs and incomes and that

(08:20):
kind of stuff, and we canwe can afford a nice meal every now
and then, but or maybe evenyou know, more often, than that,
but the point being that more andmore and more, like the other
night, Okay, the other night, I was coming home from where oh
I had a haircut. I hada haircut that was late, and I
was I've had the same arbor nowfor decades. What am I gonna do

(08:43):
when that barber goes to the greatshop in the sky. What makes you
think about that? Is the barber? Ill? No, but you know,
not a spring chicken. But yeah, so yeah, what am I
going to do then? Just becomelike one of those guys who just grows
his hair as long as it'll get. You could go see the gal that
cuts my hair. HII, she'sgreat. Sure is, well, you

(09:07):
look great, you look great.But Kelly could cut you. I could
cut your hair. You know,the guy outside the studio could cut your
hair. No, it's very importantthat he has a haircut so that he
can wear a hat every day.Oh it's great hair, but just your
hair is is wonderful. But it'sjust very very simple. So yeah,
like the other night, Okay,normally, you know, I may go

(09:30):
and pick up this or that.But even if you go to the store
right now and you get a hunkof this to throw on the grill.
It's it is a big ticket item. So yeah, it's not like it
was a sacrifice to swing over toIn and Out. I love in and
Out. But In and Out gotthis great meal for eleven bucks, and
I walked out of there feeling likeI'd won the lottery. So we got
a lot of ground to cover today, treated as open lines like we pretty

(09:50):
much do every day anymore, butwe got a lot of ground to cover
when we come back. The DenverCity Council member canceling public appearances after being
exposed to a strange substance. Whatdo you think is going on there?
You're on the Dan Capla Show.And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show
podcast. Back when I was acaddy and I was applying for the Evans

(10:11):
Scholarship, this great program that sayssends golf caddies to college and other kids
who work at golf courses. Now, that song was out as I remember
it, and that's what got methinking about Colorado, because they have all
these chapters at all these other placeslike Northwestern and this and that, and
I heard that song. I'm goingto Colorado. That's all I remember it.

(10:31):
Anyway, that was my great song. Connecting the dots from the tennis
match that you had with your dad. Yeah, and then you said he
came with you out here on thetrip. No, I came out alone
when I came to college. I'dnever been west to Chicago until I got
to the airport and then had mybike with me, and then the drip
bus dropped me off and Boulder andI assembled my bike and started riding around

(10:54):
Boulder trying to find the place Iwas going to live. Wow, And
man, I got to tell you, I can still remember coming over that
scenic overlooked that first time into Bolerand literally said from the boss, thank
you God. Yeah, I meanback to the fault lines. Kevin in
Denver. You're on the Dan Kaplosshow. Welcome. Hey, how you
guys doing living the dream? Good? Me too? Unfortunately I'm living in

(11:18):
Colorado. But anyway, is thathow fortunate? Have you been to any
other city that's like? Uh?Okay, I'll tell you my story about
Boise or the state of Idaho.Okay, we go to Boise, We
went to Meridian, we went toNampa. We went to like five different
cities. We saw a total offour homeless people, and which I think

(11:41):
two of them weren't even homeless.Groceries in Colorado. So we did a
comparison of what we bought there andwhat we bought here. Yeah, thirty
nine point four to six percent higherfor groceries, higher than in Idaho.
Wow. Wow, Okay, Sothen I then I started talking to a

(12:03):
couple of guys in a sporting goodsstore about license plates. So, license
plates, tags, registration. Youcan get custom plates for under one hundred
dollars. Kevin, let me letme ask you this, and this is
great information, and obviously the leftis trashing this place. But why are
you still here? Well, becauseuh, I didn't really find Idaho all

(12:28):
that appealing for what I like todo. So over the fourth of July,
we're going to take a road tripto Montana. The girlfriend wants to
move to Michigan, and I toldher I will not from a blue move
from a blue state to another bluestate. No, I get that,
Montana is wonderful. Yeah, okay, I'm still here and wondering. But

(12:50):
getting back to the broader issue,my friend, obviously the left is trashing
this place. We were all handedone of the greatest places in the world,
and the Left is trashing it inall the ways you and I and
others have talked about. So thequestion is, then, you know,
do you run and I don't faultanybody who does, or do you stay
and fight and try to save theplace, because in the meantime, it's
still a great place. It's justa whole hell of a lot more dangerous

(13:13):
than it should be or needs tobe, and it's got all these other
huge problems that it doesn't need tohave, and we're not taking advantage of
the great stuff nearly as much aswe should be. But we're still here.
Yeah, Dan, I'm giving ittwo more years in the state of
Colorado. If things don't change,I'm gone. Well, they're only going
to get worse in the next twoyears. I mean, what would you

(13:35):
expect to get better in the nexttwo years. I mean, we don't
even have any statewide elections, dowe for another couple of years. Yeah,
So there you go. You've solvedit for me. Yeah, Kevin,
thanks for the company. I wasn'ttrying to run. Yeah, I'm
just being honest. Maybe we justchanged the name of the show to Brutal
honesty. Just being honest about it. But you know, we've talked about

(13:58):
it at home, say that wewere just starting out having kids. Now
there's a really good chance we'd movesomewhere, and which would break my heart
right because of all the great historyhere and what a great place it is.
But yeah, I mean, youknow, you think about it,
You think about the legalization, theglorification of drugs, krak awanaut of the
rising crime rate, everything else.If our kids were just like yeah,

(14:20):
in that toddler face right now,we'd give that serious. I'm not trying
to run everybody off. I'm astay and fight kind of guy. But
I'm just being honest. Well,and I hate to share a secret because
I don't want to let him outof the bag. But when do you
go the notes I've compared with youand many others I'm talking some Native Colorado's
too. Is that what Montana isright now is what Colorado used to be,

(14:41):
like maybe thirty years ago when Coloradowas great, and it maybe leaned
red a little bit, but samekind of nature, same kind of landscape,
same kind of beauty in Montana.I love Montana, man, there
is so much beauty up there.I had a big tragic case up there.
We're a young, wonderful, youngkid and a high school lathlete died
on the field because the coach didn'tuse a defibrillator on him. And but

(15:05):
but I spent a lot of timeup there and got to know the beauty
of the state, and it isit is amazing up there. Here's that
story I was telling you about.Denver councilwoman says exposure to quote contaminated documents
made her sick. So I got, what do you think's going on here?
And you can text daan five seven, seven thirty nine might have been
Rayceroni. I don't know were theypoisoned? Well, let me read you

(15:28):
the story and tell me what yourradar tells you. One of Denver City
council members is taking time away fromin person meetings with voters after she says
contaminated documents at such an event causedher to fall sick. The meetup was
held Thursday, May thirty at tablePublic House. Councilwoman floor, I hope

(15:50):
I'm pronouncing it correctly. Eldarez alvI DRez, who represents Denver's District seven,
posted about the incident. She saidthat and quote incident caused her to
come in contact with quotes some contaminateddocuments, causing me to fall sick.
She said she is recovering well,but was suspending all in person meetings with

(16:11):
constituents in the meantime. Quote,our communities well being as my top priority
in the incident is under thorough investigation. We have added safety measures to prevent
this happening again. Quote. Meanwhile, I am of Helibo via virtual meetings,
phone calls and emails. Information aboutwhat was on the documents, how
the council woman came into contact withthem, and when in person meetings may

(16:33):
resume has not been shared with Foxthirty one. Now what in hades do
you think is going on there?Well, first of all, I hope
she makes a full recovery and weworshire the very best. But this is
some crazy stuff. If it wascontaminated, like I said, with risin
or some kind of other chemical elementor additive, and who would be targeting
her and why? I mean,that's where my mind immediately goes to,

(16:56):
what kind of documents and why aren'twe getting more information on I don't know,
because if the issue is public safety, it seems the more facts you're
sharing with the public, the betterprotected the public will be. So why
so much vagueness here? Good point? And it might not be isolated,
Dan, A lot of times thesethings happen, and there's a few mailings
that go out from somebody with anefarious intent. And this was not just

(17:21):
a solo target an individual. Butyeah, there are a lot more questions
than answers at this point. I'mlooking at this text and we're talking about
the crazy expensive, you know,prices and restaurants now and food at the
grocery store. Dan, you're notaffected like most of us. I don't
think you get it. With alldue respect, Hey, that's a fair

(17:41):
question, right, I mean,blessed do the good job have a decent
paycheck? But I do? Ido? And and the point being,
how could anybody not because even andthis isn't me, even if anybody could
afford anything they possibly wanted, ata certain point, it's just kind of
immoral to be paying X for Y. So how are you dealing with these

(18:03):
crazy high food prices? How haveyou adjusted your life? And when we
come back, Trump wants lawfare ondemocrats. How are you good with that?
You're on the Dan kapla show.You're listening to The Dan Kaplis Show
podcast. Biden's also in the newstoday because he issued an executive order allowing
temporary border closure to migrants, asbeing called the most restrictive border policy instituted

(18:26):
by any modern Democrat. That isa tough needle to thread being an anti
immigration liberal. So we're going toseal the border, folks, but the
wall is going to be gluten freeand the barbed wire will be pro choice.
It's not a border wall, it'sa board her wall. Yeah,

(18:48):
so Colbert worried about Biden burning offthe left. I mean, this is
fascinating because obviously the only reason Bidenengages in this charade, and it is
a charade. We played a piecefrom NBC yesterday which may to clear this
so called executive order from Biden doesn'teven provide the authority to immediately force quote

(19:10):
unquote asylum seekers to leap. Butanyway, those kind of details aside.
Obviously, Biden did this because hesees he's on a clear path to defeat
and that the Democrat nominee, whoeverit may be, is on a clear
path to defeat. So trying tofool the people, but at the risk
of burning off some people on theleft. And it's math right, and

(19:32):
he cannot afford to lose many onthe left, and that's why his entire
presidency has been about kneeling before theleft and doing whatever they wanted whenever they
wanted. So eight five five forzero five A two five to five the
number. I am just so absolutelycertain that people get that. And none
of these lies are going to work. None of these tricks are going to

(19:53):
work. None of these wrongful convictionsin a criminal court are going to work,
though it's clear at this point therewon't be the chance for that in
any of these other prosecutions before electionday. I'm so confident voters get that.
I think now. I think nowit's simply about two things, who
the DEM nominee is going to be, and then simply whether enough people want

(20:18):
President Trump to have a second term. I don't think there's any doubt in
the minds of most voters now aboutthe reality of the left of this Democratic
Party of Joe Biden, though he'sirrelevant right because it's going to be a
different nominee. I think it allcomes down to now who the demb candidate's
going to be. And above all, whether people want Trump to have a
second term, and I sure do, and I think a lot of other

(20:41):
people do. And then it's justa matter of whether it gets to that
magical number. Steve and beautiful Denver, Colorado, You're on the Dame Capitalist
Show. Welcome, Hi Dan.I hate to jump and pile on negativity,
but the previous caller before the break, my wife and I have a

(21:02):
delivery business. We have to gointo Denver two to three times a month,
and we dreaded every time, andyesterday just it topped the cake.
I've been here since ninety six.I used to live up in Westminster.
I'd ride my bike down the trailalong the Platte Go into downtown not feel
any fear whatsoever. We saw thingsyesterday, let's say, in the Collfax

(21:26):
to Washington area, Lincoln, allthe way over to the stadium, I
just don't. Even if we wereto get our wildest hopes, you know,
somebody to come in and turn thingsaround. It's a three to five
year project minimum to turn this townaround. But right now it's a desert

(21:47):
wasteland. It is. It's beyondit's beyond repair. Right now, and
then I do have a positive aboutfinding a good value on food to get
off the negative. But Denver,I don't recommend anybody go downtown Denver.
It needs to be it's dangerous.I saw open needles yesterday, cracksmoking,

(22:11):
mental illness, screaming, running downthe streets. It's that was just a
Democrat headquarters exactly. It's apocalyptic,it really is. Yeah, it is
so sad, thank you, Steve. It is so profoundly sad and totally
unnecessary. Right and then you seethey're spending all this money again Sixteenth Street,
mall this and that? How manyreal that place is at more?

(22:33):
Faceless and Pelosi, I mean,how many more can they do? But
it come on. Bottom line isas long as you're going to have legalized
dope and the kind we have,and you are going to make Colorado the
drug capital of America, which iswhat the left has set out to do
and has accomplished. And as longas Mike Johnston is out there, you
know with saying this, we willget you a home. It doesn't matter

(22:57):
what you do to the sixteenth Street. It's not gonna work. And I
wish it would. I do rememberthe glory days, and those were those
were some wonderful days, but theleft has trashed it. Dan says a
Texter. First of all, Inand Out is the most overrated hamburger I've
eaten in my life. I've hadone. I will not have another.

(23:18):
I don't know why I came toColorado. We don't need it, obviously
personal taste. But I was justsitting there the other day eating my two
loaded cheeseburgers and my fries all foreleven bucks, thinking it doesn't get any
better than this, right, Andwouldn't most people say that. Wouldn't most
people say that a really good cheeseburger'sbetter in mistake. I'm glad to hear

(23:38):
you say that, Dan, becauseyou know you take some texts that go,
well, Dan, you're well off. You can go to Ocean Prime
Ter, but you're just working welloff. But you are happiest with a
couple burgers at In and Out?Who is at a good price? Who
isn't it? Listen every now andthen, hey there's a special occasion,
or you know, you throw somethingon the girl, but it's getting so
much more expensive to even do that. True, But I'm just talking about

(24:00):
for your dining pleasure, for yourdining pleasure. What percentage of people you
think would just say a great cheeseburgeris better than even a great steak?
You make a good case. Yeah, I think eighty eighty five percent.
But listen, you know you gotthe kid just graduating from college and it's
this and the dad. Yeah,let's go in and out? You know,

(24:21):
hey heck yeah, yeah, youknow you may never see him again.
I'm a big fan of you.Joe Kaplis and I are on the
animal style train. You bet,yep, you bet? And if you
asked him for sure, like hejust finished his first year of law school,
have some really cool grades to celebrate. In and out there it that's
where he wants to be. Wait, Joe, in and out? All
righty? What else? Do wehave? Some people mad with me?

(24:45):
Which I do not understand? Dan, Why were you laughing when you tease
the story about the contaminated documents?As I said, I am mystified by
the vagueness in the story. Imystified, why is anybody why is this
a story? And I'm not criticalof the outlet, but why is this
being talked about in the news thatpeople aren't willing to share more details.

(25:08):
If the idea is to protect thepublic, you can only protect the public
by providing more details. What wasit, where was it, how did
it happen? I mean, it'simportant to protect the public, and I
hope we get more details so thepublic can be protected. Dan, shouldn't
the person handling the documents, handingthe documents to the councilwoman also be affected.

(25:33):
This sounds like a Tate Anderson stunt. I'm not accusing anybody of anything.
I'm just saying that if somebody isgoing to make this a story,
then I think it's in the publicinterest to have more facts so people can
evaluate it and weigh it and maketheir own determinations and do what they need
to protect themselves. So I justhope we get more details. Dan,

(25:56):
I bet it was fentanyl. Excellentpoint. Excellent point. That could happen,
and even a very very small amount, as everybody knows, could be
devastating. So yeah, if thiswas fentanyl here, then public needs to
know. That public need I don'tknow if it was fentanyl. I don't
know what it was. I haveno idea what happened here. I'm just

(26:18):
saying that if it was fentanyl.Good thought, Texter public needs to know
that the document was full of logicand common sense. That is poisonous to
Democrat saptic A skeptic, Dan,Why does she not think that she got
food poisoning or the flu or something? Stories a little vague? I think

(26:41):
vague. The word is vague.We need more details for the safety of
the public. We need more detailstext or Dan. The only way to
have a permanent end to this lawfareis to charge the entire body administration with
a criminal conspiracy to overthrow the twentytwenty four election through judicial malf Malfeasan.
What a great segue because when wecome back on a play of the sound

(27:03):
from President Trump, and President Trumpis talking about the possibility that hey,
you know, he may need toprosecute political opponents when he gets in office.
Do you think he should do that? Do you think he should be
making that a campaign issue right now? Eight y five for zero five eight
two five five text d an fiveseven seven three Done and now back to

(27:27):
the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. Foxthirty one did a good job with the
report talking about a Denver City councilwomancouncilman Floor I hope I'm pronouncing it right.
Elvidrez, Elvidrez, I think okay. Alv I dre Z represents Denver
District seven, posted saying an incidentcaused her to come in contact with some

(27:48):
contaminated documents, causing me to fallsick. She said she's recovering well,
which is great to hear, butwas suspending all in person meetings with constituents
in the meantime. Our community's wellbeing as my top priority in the incident
is under thorough investigation. We haveadded safety measures to prevent this from happening
again. Boy, I sure wishthe councilwoman would share more more details so

(28:15):
if there's a public safety threat,others can protect themselves eight five to five
for zero five eight two five tofive. The numerous President Trump says that
you know he may have to havesome of his political opponents prosecuted. Well,
they're nasty people, They're crooked ashell, They're nasty, vicious people.

(28:37):
And it was a trial that everybodysaid shouldn't have been brought, including
Bragg. Didn't want to bring it. Nobody wanted to bring it until I
decided to run and then was beatingeverybody by a lot and then was beating
Biden by a lot in the polls. But you know, it's a very
terrible thing. It's a terrible precedentfor our country. Does that mean the
next president does it to them?That's really the question, you know.

(28:59):
I said on a recent show thatI did a good show, good people.
You would like these people even thoughthey're competitors. But I was talking
about you know what I met Hillaryis then did off scream lock them up,
lock her up, lock her up, and everybody got to kick out
of it or all. But Iwatched I was at UFC the other night,
as you saw Greg, and Isaw fighters that hated each other with
a passion like you've never seen.They've for three months. They're just going

(29:22):
crazy about how much they hate.And then the fight's over and they're hugging
and they're kissing in the middle ofthe ring. So the president goes on
from there, and I said,wouldn't it really be bad, you know,
with with like as an example,Hillary with the hammering of her cell
phones and all of the things shedid, But wouldn't it be terrible to

(29:42):
throw the president's wife and the formerSecretary state? Think of it? The
former secretary stare, but the president, the president's wife into jail. Wouldn't
that be a terrible thing? Butthey want to do it, so you
know, it's it's a terrible,terrible path that they're leading us to,

(30:04):
and it's very possible that it's goingto have to happen to them. But
I personally thought, and I reallydid. You know, I got a
lot of credit from a lot ofpeople, and some people said I should
have done it, but you know, would have been very easy to do
it, But I thought it wouldbe a terrible precedent for our country.
And now, whoever it may be, you're gonna have to view it very

(30:25):
much differently. This is a bad, bad road that they're leading us down
to as a country, and thisis the Third World countries. Yeah,
I want to get your reaction tothat, obviously. Yeah, this threatens
the very existence of our nation.We become a banana republic when you start
to wrongfully prosecute political opponents in orderto jail them because you can't beat them
at the polls. Right, everybodygets that. So that's why I don't

(30:48):
want to hear President Trump suggesting atall that this is going to start to
be done to Democrats, Listen,if you've got a legitimate prosecution that it's
not politically motivated. Somebody commits acrime, it's a real crime. You
got to prosecute, you prosecute it. But there should not be any suggestion
whatsoever that if he wins, hisadministration is going to engage in politically motivated

(31:14):
prosecutions because first it would be wrong, but second, second, we need
him to win. And right nowit's set up perfectly for him because as
we've been talking about before the conviction, right now you've not only got a
whole lot of people angry about thewrongful conviction, you got a whole lot
of people who weren't going to votefor Trump, don't want to vote for

(31:36):
Trump, but now they're going tovote for Trump because it's the only way
to vote against the left and againstthis tactic and against America becoming a banana
republic. So do not go outthere and suggest, Okay, elect us
so we can make it a bananarepublic. No, you want a clear,
bright line choice here. I completelyagree with you, Dan, but

(31:56):
walk with me for a minute.No more, the Democrats are saying to
Donald Trump, we can impeach youtwice. We can drive you into the
ground, we can politically persecute you, we can convict you on charges,
we can put you in jail,maybe even all these things. But don't
you dare do it to us?Don't you dare punch us back? So
I don't. I'm not on boardwith that. So my question to you,
then that's a false choice. Ifyou take the high road, how

(32:21):
do you get Democrats to stop doingthis? No? No, no,
you defeat them. What if youdon't, you just doubt as a false
choice. If you don't defeat them, the country shot. But but you
you hurt your chance to defeat themwhen you go out and say to people,
Yeah, you know, I thinkI may do the same thing when
I get in office. I don'tknow. That's what he said, though,
if you listen carefully to what hesaid, he said something along lines

(32:44):
of it might have to happen tothem. He didn't say I'm going to
do it how else? Well,and I think that it might happen at
something I'm saying. Is this allI'm saying. It is his to lose
now more than ever. This convictionis helping him, This wrongful conviction is
helping him. This raises his tolose. We desperately need him to win.
All I'm saying is there's no upside. Is there any political upside to

(33:07):
saying this right now? First,I don't think it should be done.
That's not America. We shouldn't doit. Just because they do it doesn't
mean we should do it. Youknow, we win by being better and
by giving America that better option andgetting back to America the way it should
be, make America great again.The slogan is, and hey, elect
me, so I can be asblankety blank awful as they are. But

(33:31):
what if he gets elected? Let'sdo this and the Democrats control the House
in the Senate, and you knowwhat they're going to do. They're going
to try to find some you know, cock them, any reason to impeach
him or drag him through another oneof those investigations. They're going to keep
doing it. Dan, My questionis, how do you get them to
stop without punching them right back inthe mouth the same way that they're doing.
You use their wrongdoing to defeat themat the polls, to take their

(33:54):
power away. That that's how youget them to stop, right. You
gotta the presidency and then hopefully allof this wrongdoing by the left well will
help you get the House and maybestars align the House and Senate. But
I'd love to hear from folks onthis, because I know there are an
awful lot of people who agree withRyan on this and disagree with me,

(34:15):
But would love your take on thiseight five five four zero five eight two
five five text d an five sevenseven three nine, and an open line
five o'clock hour as well, becausethere's just so much going on right now
locally and nationally. Glad you're hereon the Dan Kapli Show.
