Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Kaplis, and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to
give us 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. My goodness, I mean, truly,
what a time to be alive. Stakes could not be higher,
(00:20):
The race, according to the polls, could not be closer.
I don't think it's that close. We'll talk more about that,
but what a couple of weeks we have in front
of us, and who knows after that? Right? I mean,
you already have another number of these Democrat controlled swing
states and oh yeah, well you know we probably won't
have results till maybe sometime in twenty twenty five. A
bit of an overstatement, but you get the gist of it.
(00:41):
So yeah, and then what I'm enjoying so much right
now is what we had expected to happen, right, which
is these lefty heads exploding. And that's a metaphor, but
it would be better for these lefties if literally, like
their craniums are popping, because what's happening to them now
as they go insane before our eyes, it's probably going
(01:03):
to be a lot more embarrassing to them long term.
But it is so much fun for us right now,
because yeah, first and foremost, you have to win, right,
I mean, we've got to save the Republic, commander in chief,
all that other good stuff, but also have to expose
the left as much as possible in the meantime, because
it's hard for you and me to appreciate, I think,
but especially if you share my worldview or I share yours.
(01:26):
But here's the point. There are so many really good,
smart people out there who just they hate politics. They
don't follow it every day, they don't like shows like this,
they don't like any of this political stuff. They don't
pay attention, and they vote largely out of habit. So
you got so many people voting Democrat right now, including unaffiliateds,
who have no idea, no idea that this Democratic Party
(01:49):
has been taken over by these truly radical anti American
secular leftists. You know, a lot of the money people
out of other people, they're not all that way, but
a lot are. And so every opp tunity we have
to expose the left for what they've truly become. That's
a really important moment, and that doesn't happen that often.
It takes because you know, they've got a lot of
(02:11):
bad ideas, but a lot of them are very smart people.
They've got a ton of money, they're very good tactically,
and they're very good at pulling the con hiding what
they really believe. But now the stress test, right, it's
like you go to the cardiologists and they put you
on that treadmill and you say, doctor, my heart could
not be better here. All the things I do, I
never have a problem. Well, but now we got to
(02:33):
turn it up to thirty, you know, and you're running,
and you're running. This is like the ultimate stress test
for the left because they can see it now. It's
this big bright light, it's coming down the tracks and
there's this big beautiful shock of blonde hair on top
of that light. And they know they're two weeks away
(02:53):
from him becoming president, so they're starting to do all
sorts of really fun and goofy things. So glad you're
here to see it, and we're going to enjoy it together.
Eight five to five for zero five eight two, five
to five, the number takes d an five seven, seven,
three nine, and we'll cover the important local stuff as well.
I mean Colorado right now, Yeah, real hard for GOP
to win statewide. We don't have any big state wide
(03:15):
races at the moment, as you know, but we do
have this ballot measure which looms over all others in
terms of importance because it it's a question of just
basic humanity and will this state do something so barbaric,
so wicked as to put in our very constitution an
(03:35):
amendment saying healthy mom, healthy baby, ten seconds away from
delivering that baby, Colorado constitutions going to give you the
right to dismember that child, kill it right there. That
is not who we are as a people, no matter
where you're at. An abortion policy, that's not who we
are as a people. And oh, by the way, by
the way, yeah, healthy mom, healthy baby, nine months Colorado
(03:55):
constitution kill that baby right there, but taxpayers have to
pay for it. That's how extreme, that's how extreme and
mad the left in Colorado has become. But there is
a chance to stop them, because it's not a given
they're going to win. And even if it was, I
think there's a moral obligation separate apart from whatever your
(04:15):
faith may be, there's a basic moral obligation of every
decent person in the state to step up and say
that's not going to be in our constitution. We are
not putting in fantaside in our constitution, and so they
need fifty five percent. There is a chance to stop it.
I would just ask that you do everything you can
to influence people around you on that, even if they're
(04:37):
a most pro abortion person. You know, but yeah, healthy mom,
healthy baby, nine months. Should that be in our constitution?
Should taxpayers have to pay for it? Should parental notification
be stripped away? And please each and every vote you
can get, first to try to defeat it, but second,
just to know that we all did what we could
to try to stop this. Truly truly wicked Act eight
(05:00):
five or Z five eight two five five takes d
an five seven seven three nine on a much lighter note.
This is one of my favorite things ever in politics,
and I put it under that category of lefty heads
exploding as they realize that they wait a second. Okay,
they even pulled a coup. Trump won the election when
(05:21):
he knocked out Joe Biden. He won the election, but
they did something unprecedented in American history. They pulled a
middle of the nikup deposed the democratically elected Democrat and Knee,
so yeah, can you really keep that name for the party?
But anyway, for another day, and then they brought in
this new candidate, and then they covered up at every
turn for the new candidate, and they fabricated her interviews
(05:41):
so that she sounded better, and still it looks like
she's on the verge of losing. So that's what leads
to stuff like this. And I'm trying to think of
a talk question that goes with it. I really just
want to play the tape because I think it's one
of the funniest things ever. But obviously you've got Tapper
in particular. But many on the left now they're hoping
(06:04):
that that what do we call this gate, Ryan, I
want to call it shower gate, But they're hoping that
Arnold Palmer member gate. And we're not talking about his
membership at Augusta or anything like that. Arnold Palmer member
gate brings down Donald Trump stories.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
About Arnold Palmer's penis and spoke about the size of.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
A pro golfer's penis.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Isn't talking about Arnold Palmer's penis in front of Pennsylvania voters.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Jake, you seem to like that line a lot. Let
me tell you that I don't know. Let me just
around the country. You just say something.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't want to be talking about that, right, and
what Donald Trump is out there saying it. It is
what you continue to let's talk about because you won't.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
We won't address it.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
He is out there talking about I'll address it.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Let me okay, got it, Okay, don't say it again.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
This is o great. And if you're not familiar with
this story, Trump's being Trump. He's at a rally, He's
in Pennsylvania. Arnold Palmer's from Latrobe, and he'd heard a
story I'm guessing from Jack Nicholas. Hear her story from
somebody about Arnold Palmer in the shower, and so Trump's
just telling the story. You know, I'm part of Trump's
(07:21):
magic and the way he's won is he's not a
typical politician. And what's hilarious here is is like Jake
Tapper being so prudish. Wait a second, when it comes
to like basic morality and decency, you know that the
left is off the charts awful. Well, you know when
it comes to policy stuff, and you know the Left's
(07:42):
the one that says, oh no, no, no, no, no.
Every man who wants to go into that woman's shower
gets to go into that woman's shower and look at
her naked. All he has to do is say he's
a woman. That that's the core belief for the left.
And Jake Tapper wants America to turn on Trump because
he told a joke about a guy in a shower
(08:04):
with other guys and the other guy's being impressed. This
is what I'm talking about. This is why this is
going to be so much fun. Now as their heads
just explode. Now, Ryan, as I heard this unfold, I
immediately flashed back, immediately flashed back to Wait a second,
do I have any firsthand knowledge of this? Because I
(08:25):
did the one time I met Arnold Palmer. It was
at a golf course.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I want to watch the phrasing there.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It was at a golf course. Hey, Arnold Palmer, man's
man completely on the first hand part. Oh that's horrific.
Where did you come up with that? You is that horrible? No? No,
you have your mind's below the gutter. What's below the gutter?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
The sewer?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, your mind's in the sewer. What's below the sewer? Well,
you said it.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I'm not the only one who thought, I'm sure the
listeners dead.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I can speak with authority to the because as a
young boy, one of my great adventures was into the
City of Chicago sewer system, which did not go over
great with my parents. Where's Danny oh here?
Speaker 5 (09:14):
But no I did.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I met Arnold Palmer at a golf course. I was
caddy in in a PGA Tour event. And we did
meet in the vicinity of a shower, but not in
the shower, and he was fully close clothes. But I
will tell you this for what it's worth, which is nothing.
Think about it. I mean, my encounter with Arnold Palmer
was probably a few seconds. I rounded a corner of
(09:40):
the clubhouse at where was it? Oh man, it'll come
to me, Olympia Fields. I round the corner of the clubhouse.
He rounds the corner of the clubhouse. We literally bump
into each other. But it's still frozen in my mind,
just those few seconds. This incredibly handsome guy. His forearms
were like tree trunks. But what strikes me is I'm
(10:03):
just this little punk caddie right, the biggest smile in
the world. You would have thought he was meeting the
Queen of Sheheba and stuck out his hand. Hey, son,
Arnold Palmer. I mean that moment freezes in time, right,
So yeah, Jake Tapper, this is gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He thinks that's going to bring Donald Trump down. Trump
probably gained two points in Pennsylvania with that story. Eight
five five four zero five A two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Has any impact and obviously not on his base. They
love him, they think he's entertaining, They love how he talks.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Like a real guy, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
But let's just take the Arnold Palmer anecdote that he
told yesterday about I'll just say, seeing Arnold Palmer and
people seeing Arnold Palmer naked in the shower and being impressed.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Now he's asked me like that. I'm not offended.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't care, but I do wonder how many voters
does that get you?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The people that are in this undecided pool A lot?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh, my lord, Jake Tepper has no clue, but he does.
That's the point they are going temporarily insane. And I
know you want to say they're always insane, but if
they are always insane, this is a whole new level
of insanity because Jake Tepper knows the answer to that
question that, first of all, Trump's strategy for success starts
(11:26):
with massive explosive turnout among his current supporters. Why, Jake,
do his current supporters support him? Is it because he
walks around talking like Mitt Romney all the time? No,
he is authentic to the core. He's different. He's not
your typical politician. And so when he tells this kind
(11:46):
of story, that's just on brand for Donald Trump. And
guess what, that makes that rally a whole lot more interesting.
But it also makes him more authentic and believable. And
I'll tell you this, it's part of the way we
were created, the brilliance of our creator. We were created
to be able to feel authenticity that let alone sense it.
(12:07):
And Donald Trump strengths weaknesses something between. He is completely authentic,
and that's what people feel and get. So, No, his
recipe is not based on getting every last prim and
proper suburban guy or suburban woman. It's based on explosive
turnout among his base, which which crosses demographic lines. It
(12:30):
includes lots of different people who want a disruptor, lots
of different people who want somebody strong in a world
where our enemies have grown stronger. So yeah, no it
Tapper knows that. That's why it bothers him so much.
You know, the only thing that bothers the Morris We
go to the phone lines is the single most brilliant
(12:52):
thing I have seen in politics in my lifetime. And
let me take that back, because I was alive and
you can't even call it politics the time of Doctor
King's speech at the Memorial, right, some of those other moments.
But in modern political history, nothing has rivaled for brilliance
or effectiveness. Donald Trump at McDonald's, Donald Trump leaning out
(13:15):
of the drive through window with the apron on waving
at McDonald's. Nothing has rivaled that. And the left they're
thrown up over it. They're thrown up over it. And
it is a beautiful thing to see. Let's go to
talk about beautiful. Can you imagine Boulder, Colorado today, Kevin,
you're on the Dan Kapla show. Welcome.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
I got a clean religious joke about Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Oh, we've been waiting for one okay.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Well, one of the things they have in heaven that
we have here is golfing, and Jesus and Moses love
to play golf. So one day Moses said, you know,
aren't you kind of tired of playing the same old
courses here. Jesus said, yeah, what do you think we
should do? And Moses says, well, hey, you love Arnold
(14:03):
Palmer as a golfer. Why don't we play his golf
course on Earth. Jesus says great, So they come to Earth.
They go to the Arnold Palmer golf course. Moses te's off.
Jesus grabs a five iron and Moses says, no, no, no, no,
that's the wrong club for this hole. Jesus says, well,
Arnold Palmer played the five on this, so I'm going
(14:25):
to do it too. So Jesus hits the ball that
goes into the sandtrap. They get to the fifth hole,
Moses te's off. Jesus goes up and he uses a
three iron and Moses says, what are you doing. You
can't you know, that's not right. You can't do it
on this hole, not right now. Jesus says, well, Arnold
Palmer made a hole in one here. With this club,
(14:49):
and I'm going to do the same thing. So he
hits the ball, goes into the rough. They get to
the Night's hole and Moses hits the ball, gets the
hole in one, and there's a small group of golfers
playing behind them, and Jesus grabs a seven iron and
Moses says, no, not again. Jesus says, don't say it.
(15:09):
It's going to work. He hits the ball and it
goes into the water. Jesus goes, walks across the water,
picks the ball up out of the water, and walks back.
And the golfers behind them playing see this, and one
of them goes to Moses and says, hey, that guy's
walking on water. Who is that Jesus Christ? And Moses says, nope,
(15:31):
that's our old palmer.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Kevin, appreciate the call. See this topic. It'll take you
a lot of different directions. But Ryan, while we're on this,
one of the most vivid memories. One of my great
privileges as a caddy was I got to caddy for
a guy named Forrest Tucker. Now before your time, right
after a ball that Forrest Tecker, one of the bigger
actors of that era, and one day I had him
(15:58):
using big money match played for a lot of money,
and I clubbed him really well, which was easy because
the guy scratch right, so he can hit anything. And
if I clubbed him within three clubs, he just hit
it perfectly, so I couldn't miss. So he took me
as his personal cad. He had me on national TV
with him when he played a pro in golf with
the pros and they'd have a Hollywood star square Efagan.
(16:20):
He made him reshoot the ending three times because he
kept beating the pro, but he wanted the pro to
win so the pro wouldn't be embarrassed. Here's the story.
They played these big money games right, And what Tuck
would do is if it was getting a little tight
and he needed to freak out his opponent talk how
do I say this politely? Was extremely, extremely anatomically gifted,
(16:48):
so what it's hard to imagine anybody in the game
of golfs are pasted that. But what he would do
is it just the right moment in a match and
he needed to short circuit his opponent, he would go over,
relieve himself against a tree and then walk down the
(17:08):
fairway with his manhood fully exposed bonent just couldn't pull
the club back after that. Whoa man, probably the greatest
guy to caddy forever. Yeah. I wonder if, oh he
was such a good such a good guy. I wonder
if we could go back and find the video Golf
(17:30):
with the Stars. I was just thinking that Golf with
the Stars RBS national. This wasn't some local show National.
Let me think remember the year. I remember the year,
probably seventy three, seventy four, Golf with the pros, Beverly
Country Club in Chicago, Forest Tucker. Yeah, So, if anybody
(17:51):
can find that video, we've got a prize for you.
Not a photo of Tuck. Thank god they didn't. Can
you imagine if they had phone cameras back then?
Speaker 7 (18:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, oh my lord. You know, if your kids are
looking for something to do, Kaddian's like one of the
greatest jobs in the North. The stories I heard those
guys tell, like about Hollywood starlets and stuff. Oh man,
benefits went way beyond the pay. You're on the Dan
Caplass Show.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcasted Donald CBS.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
The election day is just over two weeks away, and
the fight for every single last undecided voted in battleground
states is intensifying. Vice President Kamala Harris's targeting disaffected Republican
voters by hitting the trail with Liz Cheney in the
crucial blue Wall states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Cheney
was a powerful Republican congressman, and today she calls Harris
(18:49):
a responsible adult. As for former President Donald Trump, he
was back in North Carolina again pushing false claims about
FEMA and immigrants, as after he spent the weekending a
crude insult at Harris, engaging in loud locker room talk
about the late golfing legend Arnold Palmer and staging a
campaign stunt at a Pennsylvania McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I could not believe that was true, right, So I
had to go back. I had to burn time verifying.
That's an actual CBS newscast. But that's what I'm talking about.
It's going to be so much fun watching them lose
their minds, dropping any pretense right of actually being a journalist.
Now they're just activists, and not even so much activist
(19:31):
for Harris, but activists to destroy Trump, which actually does
him a favor. I'll get to that in a second.
Let's go to one of my favorite people, Christy Burton Brown,
kind enough to join us. She's a candidate for the
Colorado State Board of Education in CD four, also with
Advanced Colorado, here to talk with us about eighty. Christy,
welcome back to the show.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Hey, thanks so much.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Sure, And you know, all these numbers floating around, it's
hard for people to keep track of. Please remind folks
what eighty is and why it's so important, right.
Speaker 10 (20:01):
Yeah, there are fourteen measures on your ballot this year,
so definitely a lot to keep drag up. Amendment eighty
is the school choice amendment that would put the right
to school choice in the state constitution if it passes.
And right now we are fighting the teachers' union on it,
National Teachers' Union dumping millions of dollars in ads against it.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, of course, right, because nobody would want to put
the kids first, right, And that's the Democratic Party. It's
really perverted. I think the party has just become so
dependent on the teachers' union, and at this point is
cry put the union ahead of the kids. You're obviously
trying to help the kids. So how do you overcome
(20:41):
this kind of.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
Money, right, No, exactly, And I mean for them to
take out of state dollars out of teachers pockets, yeah,
and dump it into Colorado and tell us we don't
need to protect our school choice rights here, you know.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
And I think I'm sure some.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Of your listeners, Dan have seen their ads up on
TV saying that Amendment eighty would take away public school funding.
But it's just patently faults Like the blue Book of
the State Creates says Amendment eighty has a zero dollar
fiscal impact and you can't get less than zero dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah. Well, isn't it so telling that this teachers' union
doesn't want any competition? I mean, can you imagine Christy say,
like me as a lawyer, say there was a law pass,
there can be no competition with me as a lawyer.
You know, first of all, all of us benefit from competition, right,
it makes all of us better. But they want the
(21:32):
kids to be deprived of the benefits of competition and
free and fair market competition. So we're supposed to have
it in cheeseburgers, we're supposed to have it in cars,
we're supposed to have it in lawyers. But the most
important thing on the planet. Kids don't get the benefit.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
Of that, right, I mean, that's exactly what they say.
Speaker 10 (21:50):
And they love to talk about equity and diversity and education.
I was actually added debate debating the vice president of
the Teacher's Union about this last night, and that was
one of our questions is well, how does them at
either help or hurt equity and education? And of course
by that they mean how does it help minority students
or students from economically disadvantaged people? And Dan, you know,
(22:12):
studies are very very clear that whenever there are more
choices in a school district and more options for families,
our most vulnerable students actually do better.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
So we should want to preserve that for.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Those families and all families across Colorado by cementing in
our constitution which takes our rights away from the mercy
of politicians. Oh it just doesn't go in our favor.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh yeah, Christy, Listen, if somebody truly cares about kids
of color and they look at how Democrat policies have
created this cycle where so many kids can't can't get
a fair opportunity to compete. If you really cared about
kids of color, the very well, the very first thing
you would do would would be to stop abortion, because
(22:55):
it kills four blacks for every white, it shouldn't kill anybody.
But then the same second thing you'd do would be
to do what you're doing Christy Burton Brown and push
true school choice so these kids have a fair opportunity
in education, which gives them a fair opportunity to compete
in life. And then all of a sudden you break
all these cycles, including a cycle of poverty that the
(23:17):
Democrats have inflicted on people of color.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
Yes, I mean, I couldn't agree more with you, but
those are the two key issues if we want to
help children, first of all, help them stay alive, and secondly,
give them the ability to reach their full potential by
giving them better access to good schools and a great education,
which is why we were bringing them n Min eighty
to make sure that every child in Colorado their education
can't be messed with by the polticians, but their families
(23:42):
have the right to choose the best school for them.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Let me take this argument one step deeper. You may disagree,
but I understand the very important point. Hey, the studies
shows school choice that kids end up with better grades
this than that, and I think that is really important.
What I would submit to you is, regardless of what
any study shows, that child's parents should have the choice,
(24:05):
and that child's parents should be entrusted to determine which
of these school options is best for them. And that's
another reason we need true school choice, because even if
you had a study that showed, well, you know, it
may not benefit them over here, let the parent make
that decision for that particular child under that particular child circumstances.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
Yes, I mean I actually couldn't agree with you war
once again, and I think you know, the studies that
show it's beneficial statistically in performance wise, it's sort of
like icing on the cake that it's a great proof
that it works. But I think, yeah, we're looking at
our fundamental rights and treatoms dan as Americans, as parents,
as families. A parent does know their child better than
(24:50):
the government does. Kids have unique needs and one size
doesn't at all, and that is exactly why a parent
should be able to determine what measures they're looking for
or for their child and pick the school that best
education style really that best fits that. And that's actually
also why in this amendment, in the purpose language, we
say that every parent has the right to direct the
(25:11):
education of their child, because that's a key fundamental principle.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Amendment eighty we're talking about with Christy Burton Brown. Where
can people read more about this?
Speaker 10 (25:20):
They can go to Advancecolorado dot org. We have information
all up there for them, and I would love people
to spread the words to their friends and family that
we have to defeat the teachers' union stumping millions of
dollars to light of voters, and we have to pass
the Amendment eighty to protect our rights.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, and then I take it back to safety on
top of that, which goes back to every parent's ability
to choose where to send their kid, because you may
have one school and they may decide, wait a second,
I need my child there because it's safer. And I
vividly remember walking out of this theater. It was Landmark
Theater over in Greenwood Village, after watching Waiting for Superman, which,
(25:55):
as you know, I think it was funded or at
least back by Jonathan Alter, a bunch of lefty and
it told the story, for those who haven't seen it,
of all of these parents, primarily of color, pulling out
the stops to get their children into some of these
school choice programs, standing out in the cold for blocks
on end in long lines hoping their kid would win
(26:16):
the lottery and get in one of those programs. And
how heartbreaking it was when kids didn't, and how well
they did when they did. But I remember Christy walking.
Have you been to that theater? Landmark Theater in Greenwood
over there? So I'm walking out of that and it's
a suburban movie theater. And as I walk out, here's
this guy. He's dressed like he's ready to go play Augusta.
(26:38):
You know, he's got the expensive golf jacket on and
this and that, and he's huddled up in a corner
crying like a baby, probably a fifty year old guy.
He was so moved by the movie that he was
crying like a baby. And I just wish every voter
could see Waiting for Superman and see how immoral it
is and how horrible for society that's so may any kids,
(27:01):
you know, middle lower income kids and disproportionately kids of color,
never get a fair chance in life because the Teachers'
union and the Democratic Party conspire to keep them locked
up and underperforming schools.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
Oh absolutely, And if you do hear those personal stories
of people, you have all the more motivation to go
out there and and vote to protect their rights because
you have the politicians unfortunately.
Speaker 10 (27:23):
In Colorado right now aren't with me.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
Yeah, those kind of families and those kind of stories.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
They don't care about it.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
You have the chance.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
They don't care about it. But God love you for
what you're doing. And mendmon eighty. Yeah, can you give
the website again?
Speaker 10 (27:36):
Yes, go to Advance Colorado dot org and you will
find plenty of info on Amendon eighty.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Thank you, Christy, keep up the good work.
Speaker 10 (27:43):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Dan, thank you eight five for zero five A two
five five five seven seven three nine if you just
joined us, serving so much fun. We're talking about now
two weeks away, right from today, how the left is
right in front of you losing its mind, and we're
using a lot of fun examples, including trying to bring
down Trump with the Arnold Palmer shower story. But on
(28:05):
a more serious note, the left has just launched this
attack on Trump, which is a really really vicious attack.
They're claiming things that if a voter believed, the voter's
probably not going to vote for Donald Trump. And so
this appears to be their last play. I have every
reason to believe it's a total lie. So when we
(28:28):
come back, I'll tell you what that line of attack
is and how the Trump campaign is already rebutting it.
You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
But I will look back at my life's journey and events.
I now recognize that it's been the hand of God
leading me to where.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
I am today.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
And my faith took on new meaning on July thirteenth
in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I was.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Not to the.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Ground essentially by what seemed like a.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Super natural hand.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
And I would like to think that God saved me
for a purpose, and that's to make our country greater
than ever before.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Quite a contrast with Kamala Harris's behavior toward the faith
full eight five five for zero five eight two five five.
I'll get to. This appears to be this last gasp
of the different the desperate lefts attack on Trump, and
they've launched the most insidious kind of attack. And I'll
get you those details already being directly rebutted by the
(29:45):
family of the soldier involved. Elaine in Denver. You're on
the dan Kaplish Welcome, Hi there.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I heard a funny story from my father. This is
way back in the sixties when I was in college.
This has to do with Arnold Palmer's want I forgot
her first name. Anyway, she appeared on the Tonight Show.
So Johnny, being you know, the king of one liners,
he says, missus Palmer, is there anything you do the
night before a big game to wish your husband good luck?
(30:16):
And she thought for a minute, and very seriously she said, yes,
I kiss his balls. And you know she meant, you know,
she meant what she meant. And so you know, Johnny
waits for the audience to quit howling with laughter, and
he says, you kiss his balls, and then he says, well,
I bet that makes his putters stand up. So according
(30:38):
to my dad, now I didn't see that because I
was in college, and according to what he looked up.
Look he looked it up in the future. And I
guess there was some kind of a lawsuit where, you know,
missus Palmer was offended by Johnny Carson's remark, you know,
the the one liner. So I guess she pursued him
(31:01):
or the Tonight show, and I don't know what the
outcome was. I don't know if it ever was solved that.
I thought that was the sunny story of him him being,
you know, the king of one liners, Johnny Carson saying
that to Arnold Palmer's wife.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, and I had heard that story also, And then
I had heard that Arnold Palmer really got furious about it.
I didn't realize it ended up in a lawsuit or whatever,
but I'll look that up during the break. Thank you. Lane.
The reason we're talking about Arnold Palmer in such matters
is at least Jake Tepper now thinks this is how
they're going to stop Trump, because Trump referred to Arnold
Palmer being so impressive in the shower that this is
(31:40):
how they're going to bring Trump down. So this is
why these last two weeks are going to be so
fun as America gets to see the left expose itself
pun intended. Now this is not so fun because this
last ditch attack from the left is so heinous, so hideous.
But it just it's a reminder, as if you needed one,
right as to to why the left must be defeated.
(32:03):
So the Atlantic just published this story. But of course
The whole plan here is nobody reads The Atlantic, so
it's not about that. It's about now CNN doing what
it's doing. And you can be sure every other lefty
outlet and this is now their headline, This will now
dominate their coverages, will be in the New York Times.
So what I believe to be a blatant lie will
(32:23):
now be put out there for the last two weeks
of the campaign is the alleged truth. So the headline
of the article is I need the kind of generals
that Hitler had, and the subhead is the Republican nominee
preoccupation with dictators and is disdained for the American military
is deepening that by Jeffrey Goldberg, which is why enough
(32:44):
to wonder why the president is getting so much support
from the military. But anyway, the gist of this story,
which again I personally believe to be a lie, and
I'll tell you why. The gist of the story, and
it opens with this is about and twenty year old
Army private bludgeoned to death by a fellow soldier at
(33:04):
Fort Hood. She's the daughter of Mexican immigrants, grew up
in Houston, and the murder sparked outrage across the country,
so that the claim in the story is that when
the administration was presented with a sixty thousand dollars bill
for her burial, Donald Trump made a statement I am
(33:28):
certain he did not make, but the claim is that
he made the statement, and I hesitate to even read
it because it's such a calculated lie designed to defeat him.
But the alleged statement is quote, it doesn't cost sixty
thousand bucks to bury a blanking Mexican is what Trump
(33:48):
is alleged to have shouted. Now, first of all, that
the young lady's family has already come forward and is
outraged about this story, says it's untrue. President Trump could
not have been better to them. In fact, President Trump
had them to the White House, personally consoled them, personally
offered to pay out of his pocket for the funeral.
(34:11):
So they're outraged by the story. And Mark Meadows, the
allegation is that Mark Meadows was there and Trump said
this to Meadows. He has come out and said it
is absolutely totally false. But of course the Left knows
it's false. They just put it out there because they're
hoping this is the sort of thing that's so awful
that it will cost him votes over the last two
(34:33):
weeks of the campaign, which is another reason among many
right just have to defeat the left. But here's the
beauty of it. This lie, this lie has no chance
of working. Why because of what the left has already done.
They tried to put him in jail. All of this
lawfare that is backfired on the left has now in
a sense, immunized Trump because people sit out there just thinking,
(34:56):
wait a second, they tried to put this guy in jail.
Of course they're lying about him. Wheel are next on
The Dankpla Show.
This is Dan Kaplis, and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to
give us 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. My goodness, I mean, truly,
what a time to be alive. Stakes could not be higher,
(00:20):
The race, according to the polls, could not be closer.
I don't think it's that close. We'll talk more about that,
but what a couple of weeks we have in front
of us, and who knows after that? Right? I mean,
you already have another number of these Democrat controlled swing
states and oh yeah, well you know we probably won't
have results till maybe sometime in twenty twenty five. A
bit of an overstatement, but you get the gist of it.
(00:41):
So yeah, and then what I'm enjoying so much right
now is what we had expected to happen, right, which
is these lefty heads exploding. And that's a metaphor, but
it would be better for these lefties if literally, like
their craniums are popping, because what's happening to them now
as they go insane before our eyes, it's probably going
(01:03):
to be a lot more embarrassing to them long term.
But it is so much fun for us right now,
because yeah, first and foremost, you have to win, right,
I mean, we've got to save the Republic, commander in chief,
all that other good stuff, but also have to expose
the left as much as possible in the meantime, because
it's hard for you and me to appreciate, I think,
but especially if you share my worldview or I share yours.
(01:26):
But here's the point. There are so many really good,
smart people out there who just they hate politics. They
don't follow it every day, they don't like shows like this,
they don't like any of this political stuff. They don't
pay attention, and they vote largely out of habit. So
you got so many people voting Democrat right now, including unaffiliateds,
who have no idea, no idea that this Democratic Party
(01:49):
has been taken over by these truly radical anti American
secular leftists. You know, a lot of the money people
out of other people, they're not all that way, but
a lot are. And so every opp tunity we have
to expose the left for what they've truly become. That's
a really important moment, and that doesn't happen that often.
It takes because you know, they've got a lot of
(02:11):
bad ideas, but a lot of them are very smart people.
They've got a ton of money, they're very good tactically,
and they're very good at pulling the con hiding what
they really believe. But now the stress test, right, it's
like you go to the cardiologists and they put you
on that treadmill and you say, doctor, my heart could
not be better here. All the things I do, I
never have a problem. Well, but now we got to
(02:33):
turn it up to thirty, you know, and you're running,
and you're running. This is like the ultimate stress test
for the left because they can see it now. It's
this big bright light, it's coming down the tracks and
there's this big beautiful shock of blonde hair on top
of that light. And they know they're two weeks away
(02:53):
from him becoming president, so they're starting to do all
sorts of really fun and goofy things. So glad you're
here to see it, and we're going to enjoy it together.
Eight five to five for zero five eight two, five
to five, the number takes d an five seven, seven,
three nine, and we'll cover the important local stuff as well.
I mean Colorado right now, Yeah, real hard for GOP
to win statewide. We don't have any big state wide
(03:15):
races at the moment, as you know, but we do
have this ballot measure which looms over all others in
terms of importance because it it's a question of just
basic humanity and will this state do something so barbaric,
so wicked as to put in our very constitution an
(03:35):
amendment saying healthy mom, healthy baby, ten seconds away from
delivering that baby, Colorado constitutions going to give you the
right to dismember that child, kill it right there. That
is not who we are as a people, no matter
where you're at. An abortion policy, that's not who we
are as a people. And oh, by the way, by
the way, yeah, healthy mom, healthy baby, nine months Colorado
(03:55):
constitution kill that baby right there, but taxpayers have to
pay for it. That's how extreme, that's how extreme and
mad the left in Colorado has become. But there is
a chance to stop them, because it's not a given
they're going to win. And even if it was, I
think there's a moral obligation separate apart from whatever your
(04:15):
faith may be, there's a basic moral obligation of every
decent person in the state to step up and say
that's not going to be in our constitution. We are
not putting in fantaside in our constitution, and so they
need fifty five percent. There is a chance to stop it.
I would just ask that you do everything you can
to influence people around you on that, even if they're
(04:37):
a most pro abortion person. You know, but yeah, healthy mom,
healthy baby, nine months. Should that be in our constitution?
Should taxpayers have to pay for it? Should parental notification
be stripped away? And please each and every vote you
can get, first to try to defeat it, but second,
just to know that we all did what we could
to try to stop this. Truly truly wicked Act eight
(05:00):
five or Z five eight two five five takes d
an five seven seven three nine on a much lighter note.
This is one of my favorite things ever in politics,
and I put it under that category of lefty heads
exploding as they realize that they wait a second. Okay,
they even pulled a coup. Trump won the election when
(05:21):
he knocked out Joe Biden. He won the election, but
they did something unprecedented in American history. They pulled a
middle of the nikup deposed the democratically elected Democrat and Knee,
so yeah, can you really keep that name for the party?
But anyway, for another day, and then they brought in
this new candidate, and then they covered up at every
turn for the new candidate, and they fabricated her interviews
(05:41):
so that she sounded better, and still it looks like
she's on the verge of losing. So that's what leads
to stuff like this. And I'm trying to think of
a talk question that goes with it. I really just
want to play the tape because I think it's one
of the funniest things ever. But obviously you've got Tapper
in particular. But many on the left now they're hoping
(06:04):
that that what do we call this gate, Ryan, I
want to call it shower gate, But they're hoping that
Arnold Palmer member gate. And we're not talking about his
membership at Augusta or anything like that. Arnold Palmer member
gate brings down Donald Trump stories.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
About Arnold Palmer's penis and spoke about the size of.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
A pro golfer's penis.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Isn't talking about Arnold Palmer's penis in front of Pennsylvania voters.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Jake, you seem to like that line a lot. Let
me tell you that I don't know. Let me just
around the country. You just say something.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't want to be talking about that, right, and
what Donald Trump is out there saying it. It is
what you continue to let's talk about because you won't.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
We won't address it.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
He is out there talking about I'll address it.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Let me okay, got it, Okay, don't say it again.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
This is o great. And if you're not familiar with
this story, Trump's being Trump. He's at a rally, He's
in Pennsylvania. Arnold Palmer's from Latrobe, and he'd heard a
story I'm guessing from Jack Nicholas. Hear her story from
somebody about Arnold Palmer in the shower, and so Trump's
just telling the story. You know, I'm part of Trump's
(07:21):
magic and the way he's won is he's not a
typical politician. And what's hilarious here is is like Jake
Tapper being so prudish. Wait a second, when it comes
to like basic morality and decency, you know that the
left is off the charts awful. Well, you know when
it comes to policy stuff, and you know the Left's
(07:42):
the one that says, oh no, no, no, no, no.
Every man who wants to go into that woman's shower
gets to go into that woman's shower and look at
her naked. All he has to do is say he's
a woman. That that's the core belief for the left.
And Jake Tapper wants America to turn on Trump because
he told a joke about a guy in a shower
(08:04):
with other guys and the other guy's being impressed. This
is what I'm talking about. This is why this is
going to be so much fun. Now as their heads
just explode. Now, Ryan, as I heard this unfold, I
immediately flashed back, immediately flashed back to Wait a second,
do I have any firsthand knowledge of this? Because I
(08:25):
did the one time I met Arnold Palmer. It was
at a golf course.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I want to watch the phrasing there.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It was at a golf course. Hey, Arnold Palmer, man's
man completely on the first hand part. Oh that's horrific.
Where did you come up with that? You is that horrible? No? No,
you have your mind's below the gutter. What's below the gutter?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
The sewer?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, your mind's in the sewer. What's below the sewer? Well,
you said it.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I'm not the only one who thought, I'm sure the
listeners dead.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I can speak with authority to the because as a
young boy, one of my great adventures was into the
City of Chicago sewer system, which did not go over
great with my parents. Where's Danny oh here?
Speaker 5 (09:14):
But no I did.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I met Arnold Palmer at a golf course. I was
caddy in in a PGA Tour event. And we did
meet in the vicinity of a shower, but not in
the shower, and he was fully close clothes. But I
will tell you this for what it's worth, which is nothing.
Think about it. I mean, my encounter with Arnold Palmer
was probably a few seconds. I rounded a corner of
(09:40):
the clubhouse at where was it? Oh man, it'll come
to me, Olympia Fields. I round the corner of the clubhouse.
He rounds the corner of the clubhouse. We literally bump
into each other. But it's still frozen in my mind,
just those few seconds. This incredibly handsome guy. His forearms
were like tree trunks. But what strikes me is I'm
(10:03):
just this little punk caddie right, the biggest smile in
the world. You would have thought he was meeting the
Queen of Sheheba and stuck out his hand. Hey, son,
Arnold Palmer. I mean that moment freezes in time, right,
So yeah, Jake Tapper, this is gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He thinks that's going to bring Donald Trump down. Trump
probably gained two points in Pennsylvania with that story. Eight
five five four zero five A two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Has any impact and obviously not on his base. They
love him, they think he's entertaining, They love how he talks.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Like a real guy, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
But let's just take the Arnold Palmer anecdote that he
told yesterday about I'll just say, seeing Arnold Palmer and
people seeing Arnold Palmer naked in the shower and being impressed.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Now he's asked me like that. I'm not offended.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't care, but I do wonder how many voters
does that get you?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The people that are in this undecided pool A lot?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh, my lord, Jake Tepper has no clue, but he does.
That's the point they are going temporarily insane. And I
know you want to say they're always insane, but if
they are always insane, this is a whole new level
of insanity because Jake Tepper knows the answer to that
question that, first of all, Trump's strategy for success starts
(11:26):
with massive explosive turnout among his current supporters. Why, Jake,
do his current supporters support him? Is it because he
walks around talking like Mitt Romney all the time? No,
he is authentic to the core. He's different. He's not
your typical politician. And so when he tells this kind
(11:46):
of story, that's just on brand for Donald Trump. And
guess what, that makes that rally a whole lot more interesting.
But it also makes him more authentic and believable. And
I'll tell you this, it's part of the way we
were created, the brilliance of our creator. We were created
to be able to feel authenticity that let alone sense it.
(12:07):
And Donald Trump strengths weaknesses something between. He is completely authentic,
and that's what people feel and get. So, No, his
recipe is not based on getting every last prim and
proper suburban guy or suburban woman. It's based on explosive
turnout among his base, which which crosses demographic lines. It
(12:30):
includes lots of different people who want a disruptor, lots
of different people who want somebody strong in a world
where our enemies have grown stronger. So yeah, no it
Tapper knows that. That's why it bothers him so much.
You know, the only thing that bothers the Morris We
go to the phone lines is the single most brilliant
(12:52):
thing I have seen in politics in my lifetime. And
let me take that back, because I was alive and
you can't even call it politics the time of Doctor
King's speech at the Memorial, right, some of those other moments.
But in modern political history, nothing has rivaled for brilliance
or effectiveness. Donald Trump at McDonald's, Donald Trump leaning out
(13:15):
of the drive through window with the apron on waving
at McDonald's. Nothing has rivaled that. And the left they're
thrown up over it. They're thrown up over it. And
it is a beautiful thing to see. Let's go to
talk about beautiful. Can you imagine Boulder, Colorado today, Kevin,
you're on the Dan Kapla show. Welcome.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
I got a clean religious joke about Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Oh, we've been waiting for one okay.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Well, one of the things they have in heaven that
we have here is golfing, and Jesus and Moses love
to play golf. So one day Moses said, you know,
aren't you kind of tired of playing the same old
courses here. Jesus said, yeah, what do you think we
should do? And Moses says, well, hey, you love Arnold
(14:03):
Palmer as a golfer. Why don't we play his golf
course on Earth. Jesus says great, So they come to Earth.
They go to the Arnold Palmer golf course. Moses te's off.
Jesus grabs a five iron and Moses says, no, no, no, no,
that's the wrong club for this hole. Jesus says, well,
Arnold Palmer played the five on this, so I'm going
(14:25):
to do it too. So Jesus hits the ball that
goes into the sandtrap. They get to the fifth hole,
Moses te's off. Jesus goes up and he uses a
three iron and Moses says, what are you doing. You
can't you know, that's not right. You can't do it
on this hole, not right now. Jesus says, well, Arnold
Palmer made a hole in one here. With this club,
(14:49):
and I'm going to do the same thing. So he
hits the ball, goes into the rough. They get to
the Night's hole and Moses hits the ball, gets the
hole in one, and there's a small group of golfers
playing behind them, and Jesus grabs a seven iron and
Moses says, no, not again. Jesus says, don't say it.
(15:09):
It's going to work. He hits the ball and it
goes into the water. Jesus goes, walks across the water,
picks the ball up out of the water, and walks back.
And the golfers behind them playing see this, and one
of them goes to Moses and says, hey, that guy's
walking on water. Who is that Jesus Christ? And Moses says, nope,
(15:31):
that's our old palmer.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Kevin, appreciate the call. See this topic. It'll take you
a lot of different directions. But Ryan, while we're on this,
one of the most vivid memories. One of my great
privileges as a caddy was I got to caddy for
a guy named Forrest Tucker. Now before your time, right
after a ball that Forrest Tecker, one of the bigger
actors of that era, and one day I had him
(15:58):
using big money match played for a lot of money,
and I clubbed him really well, which was easy because
the guy scratch right, so he can hit anything. And
if I clubbed him within three clubs, he just hit
it perfectly, so I couldn't miss. So he took me
as his personal cad. He had me on national TV
with him when he played a pro in golf with
the pros and they'd have a Hollywood star square Efagan.
(16:20):
He made him reshoot the ending three times because he
kept beating the pro, but he wanted the pro to
win so the pro wouldn't be embarrassed. Here's the story.
They played these big money games right, And what Tuck
would do is if it was getting a little tight
and he needed to freak out his opponent talk how
do I say this politely? Was extremely, extremely anatomically gifted,
(16:48):
so what it's hard to imagine anybody in the game
of golfs are pasted that. But what he would do
is it just the right moment in a match and
he needed to short circuit his opponent, he would go over,
relieve himself against a tree and then walk down the
(17:08):
fairway with his manhood fully exposed bonent just couldn't pull
the club back after that. Whoa man, probably the greatest
guy to caddy forever. Yeah. I wonder if, oh he
was such a good such a good guy. I wonder
if we could go back and find the video Golf
(17:30):
with the Stars. I was just thinking that Golf with
the Stars RBS national. This wasn't some local show National.
Let me think remember the year. I remember the year,
probably seventy three, seventy four, Golf with the pros, Beverly
Country Club in Chicago, Forest Tucker. Yeah, So, if anybody
(17:51):
can find that video, we've got a prize for you.
Not a photo of Tuck. Thank god they didn't. Can
you imagine if they had phone cameras back then?
Speaker 7 (18:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, oh my lord. You know, if your kids are
looking for something to do, Kaddian's like one of the
greatest jobs in the North. The stories I heard those
guys tell, like about Hollywood starlets and stuff. Oh man,
benefits went way beyond the pay. You're on the Dan
Caplass Show.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcasted Donald CBS.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
The election day is just over two weeks away, and
the fight for every single last undecided voted in battleground
states is intensifying. Vice President Kamala Harris's targeting disaffected Republican
voters by hitting the trail with Liz Cheney in the
crucial blue Wall states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Cheney
was a powerful Republican congressman, and today she calls Harris
(18:49):
a responsible adult. As for former President Donald Trump, he
was back in North Carolina again pushing false claims about
FEMA and immigrants, as after he spent the weekending a
crude insult at Harris, engaging in loud locker room talk
about the late golfing legend Arnold Palmer and staging a
campaign stunt at a Pennsylvania McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I could not believe that was true, right, So I
had to go back. I had to burn time verifying.
That's an actual CBS newscast. But that's what I'm talking about.
It's going to be so much fun watching them lose
their minds, dropping any pretense right of actually being a journalist.
Now they're just activists, and not even so much activist
(19:31):
for Harris, but activists to destroy Trump, which actually does
him a favor. I'll get to that in a second.
Let's go to one of my favorite people, Christy Burton Brown,
kind enough to join us. She's a candidate for the
Colorado State Board of Education in CD four, also with
Advanced Colorado, here to talk with us about eighty. Christy,
welcome back to the show.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Hey, thanks so much.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Sure, And you know, all these numbers floating around, it's
hard for people to keep track of. Please remind folks
what eighty is and why it's so important, right.
Speaker 10 (20:01):
Yeah, there are fourteen measures on your ballot this year,
so definitely a lot to keep drag up. Amendment eighty
is the school choice amendment that would put the right
to school choice in the state constitution if it passes.
And right now we are fighting the teachers' union on it,
National Teachers' Union dumping millions of dollars in ads against it.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, of course, right, because nobody would want to put
the kids first, right, And that's the Democratic Party. It's
really perverted. I think the party has just become so
dependent on the teachers' union, and at this point is
cry put the union ahead of the kids. You're obviously
trying to help the kids. So how do you overcome
(20:41):
this kind of.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
Money, right, No, exactly, And I mean for them to
take out of state dollars out of teachers pockets, yeah,
and dump it into Colorado and tell us we don't
need to protect our school choice rights here, you know.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
And I think I'm sure some.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Of your listeners, Dan have seen their ads up on
TV saying that Amendment eighty would take away public school funding.
But it's just patently faults Like the blue Book of
the State Creates says Amendment eighty has a zero dollar
fiscal impact and you can't get less than zero dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah. Well, isn't it so telling that this teachers' union
doesn't want any competition? I mean, can you imagine Christy say,
like me as a lawyer, say there was a law pass,
there can be no competition with me as a lawyer.
You know, first of all, all of us benefit from competition, right,
it makes all of us better. But they want the
(21:32):
kids to be deprived of the benefits of competition and
free and fair market competition. So we're supposed to have
it in cheeseburgers, we're supposed to have it in cars,
we're supposed to have it in lawyers. But the most
important thing on the planet. Kids don't get the benefit.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
Of that, right, I mean, that's exactly what they say.
Speaker 10 (21:50):
And they love to talk about equity and diversity and education.
I was actually added debate debating the vice president of
the Teacher's Union about this last night, and that was
one of our questions is well, how does them at
either help or hurt equity and education? And of course
by that they mean how does it help minority students
or students from economically disadvantaged people? And Dan, you know,
(22:12):
studies are very very clear that whenever there are more
choices in a school district and more options for families,
our most vulnerable students actually do better.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
So we should want to preserve that for.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Those families and all families across Colorado by cementing in
our constitution which takes our rights away from the mercy
of politicians. Oh it just doesn't go in our favor.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh yeah, Christy, Listen, if somebody truly cares about kids
of color and they look at how Democrat policies have
created this cycle where so many kids can't can't get
a fair opportunity to compete. If you really cared about
kids of color, the very well, the very first thing
you would do would would be to stop abortion, because
(22:55):
it kills four blacks for every white, it shouldn't kill anybody.
But then the same second thing you'd do would be
to do what you're doing Christy Burton Brown and push
true school choice so these kids have a fair opportunity
in education, which gives them a fair opportunity to compete
in life. And then all of a sudden you break
all these cycles, including a cycle of poverty that the
(23:17):
Democrats have inflicted on people of color.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
Yes, I mean, I couldn't agree more with you, but
those are the two key issues if we want to
help children, first of all, help them stay alive, and secondly,
give them the ability to reach their full potential by
giving them better access to good schools and a great education,
which is why we were bringing them n Min eighty
to make sure that every child in Colorado their education
can't be messed with by the polticians, but their families
(23:42):
have the right to choose the best school for them.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Let me take this argument one step deeper. You may disagree,
but I understand the very important point. Hey, the studies
shows school choice that kids end up with better grades
this than that, and I think that is really important.
What I would submit to you is, regardless of what
any study shows, that child's parents should have the choice,
(24:05):
and that child's parents should be entrusted to determine which
of these school options is best for them. And that's
another reason we need true school choice, because even if
you had a study that showed, well, you know, it
may not benefit them over here, let the parent make
that decision for that particular child under that particular child circumstances.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
Yes, I mean I actually couldn't agree with you war
once again, and I think you know, the studies that
show it's beneficial statistically in performance wise, it's sort of
like icing on the cake that it's a great proof
that it works. But I think, yeah, we're looking at
our fundamental rights and treatoms dan as Americans, as parents,
as families. A parent does know their child better than
(24:50):
the government does. Kids have unique needs and one size
doesn't at all, and that is exactly why a parent
should be able to determine what measures they're looking for
or for their child and pick the school that best
education style really that best fits that. And that's actually
also why in this amendment, in the purpose language, we
say that every parent has the right to direct the
(25:11):
education of their child, because that's a key fundamental principle.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Amendment eighty we're talking about with Christy Burton Brown. Where
can people read more about this?
Speaker 10 (25:20):
They can go to Advancecolorado dot org. We have information
all up there for them, and I would love people
to spread the words to their friends and family that
we have to defeat the teachers' union stumping millions of
dollars to light of voters, and we have to pass
the Amendment eighty to protect our rights.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, and then I take it back to safety on
top of that, which goes back to every parent's ability
to choose where to send their kid, because you may
have one school and they may decide, wait a second,
I need my child there because it's safer. And I
vividly remember walking out of this theater. It was Landmark
Theater over in Greenwood Village, after watching Waiting for Superman, which,
(25:55):
as you know, I think it was funded or at
least back by Jonathan Alter, a bunch of lefty and
it told the story, for those who haven't seen it,
of all of these parents, primarily of color, pulling out
the stops to get their children into some of these
school choice programs, standing out in the cold for blocks
on end in long lines hoping their kid would win
(26:16):
the lottery and get in one of those programs. And
how heartbreaking it was when kids didn't, and how well
they did when they did. But I remember Christy walking.
Have you been to that theater? Landmark Theater in Greenwood
over there? So I'm walking out of that and it's
a suburban movie theater. And as I walk out, here's
this guy. He's dressed like he's ready to go play Augusta.
(26:38):
You know, he's got the expensive golf jacket on and
this and that, and he's huddled up in a corner
crying like a baby, probably a fifty year old guy.
He was so moved by the movie that he was
crying like a baby. And I just wish every voter
could see Waiting for Superman and see how immoral it
is and how horrible for society that's so may any kids,
(27:01):
you know, middle lower income kids and disproportionately kids of color,
never get a fair chance in life because the Teachers'
union and the Democratic Party conspire to keep them locked
up and underperforming schools.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
Oh absolutely, And if you do hear those personal stories
of people, you have all the more motivation to go
out there and and vote to protect their rights because
you have the politicians unfortunately.
Speaker 10 (27:23):
In Colorado right now aren't with me.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
Yeah, those kind of families and those kind of stories.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
They don't care about it.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
You have the chance.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
They don't care about it. But God love you for
what you're doing. And mendmon eighty. Yeah, can you give
the website again?
Speaker 10 (27:36):
Yes, go to Advance Colorado dot org and you will
find plenty of info on Amendon eighty.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Thank you, Christy, keep up the good work.
Speaker 10 (27:43):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Dan, thank you eight five for zero five A two
five five five seven seven three nine if you just
joined us, serving so much fun. We're talking about now
two weeks away, right from today, how the left is
right in front of you losing its mind, and we're
using a lot of fun examples, including trying to bring
down Trump with the Arnold Palmer shower story. But on
(28:05):
a more serious note, the left has just launched this
attack on Trump, which is a really really vicious attack.
They're claiming things that if a voter believed, the voter's
probably not going to vote for Donald Trump. And so
this appears to be their last play. I have every
reason to believe it's a total lie. So when we
(28:28):
come back, I'll tell you what that line of attack
is and how the Trump campaign is already rebutting it.
You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
But I will look back at my life's journey and events.
I now recognize that it's been the hand of God
leading me to where.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
I am today.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
And my faith took on new meaning on July thirteenth
in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I was.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Not to the.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Ground essentially by what seemed like a.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Super natural hand.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
And I would like to think that God saved me
for a purpose, and that's to make our country greater
than ever before.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Quite a contrast with Kamala Harris's behavior toward the faith
full eight five five for zero five eight two five five.
I'll get to. This appears to be this last gasp
of the different the desperate lefts attack on Trump, and
they've launched the most insidious kind of attack. And I'll
get you those details already being directly rebutted by the
(29:45):
family of the soldier involved. Elaine in Denver. You're on
the dan Kaplish Welcome, Hi there.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I heard a funny story from my father. This is
way back in the sixties when I was in college.
This has to do with Arnold Palmer's want I forgot
her first name. Anyway, she appeared on the Tonight Show.
So Johnny, being you know, the king of one liners,
he says, missus Palmer, is there anything you do the
night before a big game to wish your husband good luck?
(30:16):
And she thought for a minute, and very seriously she said, yes,
I kiss his balls. And you know she meant, you know,
she meant what she meant. And so you know, Johnny
waits for the audience to quit howling with laughter, and
he says, you kiss his balls, and then he says, well,
I bet that makes his putters stand up. So according
(30:38):
to my dad, now I didn't see that because I
was in college, and according to what he looked up.
Look he looked it up in the future. And I
guess there was some kind of a lawsuit where, you know,
missus Palmer was offended by Johnny Carson's remark, you know,
the the one liner. So I guess she pursued him
(31:01):
or the Tonight show, and I don't know what the
outcome was. I don't know if it ever was solved that.
I thought that was the sunny story of him him being,
you know, the king of one liners, Johnny Carson saying
that to Arnold Palmer's wife.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, and I had heard that story also, And then
I had heard that Arnold Palmer really got furious about it.
I didn't realize it ended up in a lawsuit or whatever,
but I'll look that up during the break. Thank you. Lane.
The reason we're talking about Arnold Palmer in such matters
is at least Jake Tepper now thinks this is how
they're going to stop Trump, because Trump referred to Arnold
Palmer being so impressive in the shower that this is
(31:40):
how they're going to bring Trump down. So this is
why these last two weeks are going to be so
fun as America gets to see the left expose itself
pun intended. Now this is not so fun because this
last ditch attack from the left is so heinous, so hideous.
But it just it's a reminder, as if you needed one,
right as to to why the left must be defeated.
(32:03):
So the Atlantic just published this story. But of course
The whole plan here is nobody reads The Atlantic, so
it's not about that. It's about now CNN doing what
it's doing. And you can be sure every other lefty
outlet and this is now their headline, This will now
dominate their coverages, will be in the New York Times.
So what I believe to be a blatant lie will
(32:23):
now be put out there for the last two weeks
of the campaign is the alleged truth. So the headline
of the article is I need the kind of generals
that Hitler had, and the subhead is the Republican nominee
preoccupation with dictators and is disdained for the American military
is deepening that by Jeffrey Goldberg, which is why enough
(32:44):
to wonder why the president is getting so much support
from the military. But anyway, the gist of this story,
which again I personally believe to be a lie, and
I'll tell you why. The gist of the story, and
it opens with this is about and twenty year old
Army private bludgeoned to death by a fellow soldier at
(33:04):
Fort Hood. She's the daughter of Mexican immigrants, grew up
in Houston, and the murder sparked outrage across the country,
so that the claim in the story is that when
the administration was presented with a sixty thousand dollars bill
for her burial, Donald Trump made a statement I am
(33:28):
certain he did not make, but the claim is that
he made the statement, and I hesitate to even read
it because it's such a calculated lie designed to defeat him.
But the alleged statement is quote, it doesn't cost sixty
thousand bucks to bury a blanking Mexican is what Trump
(33:48):
is alleged to have shouted. Now, first of all, that
the young lady's family has already come forward and is
outraged about this story, says it's untrue. President Trump could
not have been better to them. In fact, President Trump
had them to the White House, personally consoled them, personally
offered to pay out of his pocket for the funeral.
(34:11):
So they're outraged by the story. And Mark Meadows, the
allegation is that Mark Meadows was there and Trump said
this to Meadows. He has come out and said it
is absolutely totally false. But of course the Left knows
it's false. They just put it out there because they're
hoping this is the sort of thing that's so awful
that it will cost him votes over the last two
(34:33):
weeks of the campaign, which is another reason among many
right just have to defeat the left. But here's the
beauty of it. This lie, this lie has no chance
of working. Why because of what the left has already done.
They tried to put him in jail. All of this
lawfare that is backfired on the left has now in
a sense, immunized Trump because people sit out there just thinking,
(34:56):
wait a second, they tried to put this guy in jail.
Of course they're lying about him. Wheel are next on
The Dankpla Show.
