Andy McCarthy, National Review joins Dan to discuss Wednesday's SCOTUS ruling on Virginia purging non-citizens from its voter rolls.

As the Virginia ruling likely helps Republicans, the Supreme Court denied a request to remove Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. from the ballots in two swing states (Michigan, Wisconsin). Andy wrote a column about this.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Award winning show ahead today.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Hey, we are so fortunate to be able to start
with Andy McCarthy, far and away the number one legal
analyst in America today. Andy's credentials would take up the
whole segment. Let me just remind you that the best
selling author Ball of Collusion, his latest contributing editor at
National Review, Fox News contributor, and much much more. But

(00:37):
I got to tell you, and I got to tell
you Andy, thank you for your podcast, The McCarthy Report.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I absolutely love it.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
And when I'm heading off for an hour or two
in the car, it's the first thing I put on.
And please keep doing that. And welcome back to the
Dan Caplas Show.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Man. I could listen to this all day. Well, thank
you so much for the kind words. I appreciate.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
It ain't enough if it's true.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
And I'm just telling you, man, you are a national treasure,
and please keep doing what you're doing. My first question,
are you going to be in a Trump administration? Will
you accept a post in the Trump administration?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I never talk about that kind of stuff. Okay, fair enough,
And I'm very happy doing what I'm doing, not least
because I get to talk to friends like you, which
you don't get to do when you're inside the car
at the government, which I was for a very very

(01:36):
long time. So that's it's always flattered to be asked
stuff stuff like that, But I think it puts, yeah,
a government in a tough position. I'm usually in an
awkward position, so I can't complain too much about that.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'd love to see you as Attorney General.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
I think you would be a great ag and I
just hope Trump has a chance to make that appointment.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, I don't need to have my name at on
the signature line of the indictments. As long as I
can stay out of the caption box, it's a good
way to lift.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Andy's so much to cover. Hey, the Supreme Court ruling
in Virginia.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Your take, well, I think I was grateful that they
made the ruling. I thought it was a preposterous lawsuit
by the Justice Department. The only rationale that makes sense
is that they were trying to make it easier for
people who are not eligible to vote to vote, actually

(02:37):
to have people who are Aliens who are not forget
about non Virginians, they're not Americans, and there's no reason
to do what they did other than to make it
easier to cheat. And I say that advisedly because the
big complaint that was made Dan was that inadvert by

(03:01):
bureaucratic inadvertence in the course of the state removing people
who are non Americans from the voting roles which they
are bound by Virginia law to. What they were saying
is that an American could inadvertently be purged from the
roles and then denied the right to vote under the

(03:22):
law of Virginia. Even if that happened, under the law
of Virginia, if you show up on election day and
you attest that you're an American citizen, they have to
let you vote in a provisional ballot, and if it
turns out that you are an American citizen, your vote counts.
So there was no way that anybody who was authentically

(03:43):
an American was going to be denied the right to vote.
And in the meantime, it is a federal crime for
an alien either to a test to being an American
citizen so that you can register to vote, and it's
a crime to vote under those circumstances. So Virginia's law

(04:04):
not only promotes election integrity in Virginia, it actually bolsters
important federal laws. And yet the Justice Department attacked the
state for doing it. And what I find particularly mind
boggling is this litigation, of course, is brought by the
Biden Harris Civil Rights Division. And the reason I have

(04:26):
to stress that is when an illegal alien votes, that
cancels out the right to vote of an American citizen,
and when they electively vote, it dilutes the votes of
American citizens. Votings are pretty important civil rights, you would think, certainly,
this is the Justice Department that indicted Donald Trump under

(04:48):
the civil rights laws on a Kakamamy theory that by
challenging the election results in the states he was contesting,
he was denying Americans the rights vote and therefore they
say he was violating their civil rights. Well, here what
the Justice Department wanted to accomplish here would have done

(05:09):
exactly that, They would have actually done what they've accused
Trump of doing.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Right, mind boggling, except for coming back to your point.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I mean, what do you say to all the people
who understandably say, well, doesn't this just show the administration
wants people to vote illegally?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well, yeah, I think that's true, but you could you know,
I think if you look at the ten thousand feet
the view of this, which is not just this case,
but the case is across the board, the whole trajectory
of it. It seems to me that it's pretty consistent
across the board that you have one side that's trying
to uphold election integrity rules and one side that's trying

(05:50):
to knock them down to make it easier to cheat.
And when the one side that's trying to knock them
down and make it easier to cheat is the same
side that has a visrated border security and brought eleven
million or so people who have no right to be
in this country brought them in, it's hard to it's
hard to disaggregate those things, right, great.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Point, Andy McCarthy, our guest, The McCarthy Report, tremendous podcast,
as well as Ball.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Of Clusi in the book.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Now, Andy, what do you make of the Supreme Court
refusing to step in on our FK remaining on the
ballot in several swing states.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, I can't get too whipped up about that. I
have to say, you know, I think if this had
raised and gotten before the Supreme Court in say September
or October, before the say August or September, before the
ballots were printed up, that would be one thing. But
as a practical matter, you know, people have been voting

(06:48):
now for almost a month in some of these places,
and I kind of feel you you probably have this
experience too, Dan, as a as a lawyer, you know,
I would have some high profile cases where IBF you
don't want anyone on the jury who is aware of

(07:09):
anything about the case through media reports, right. And I
had some cases where if you didn't know about the case,
then you must have been living under a rock, right,
you know, And you'd be like the last person I
wanted to my jury. And at this point I got
to say, if you're into RFK Junior, but it slipped
your attention that he actually is, you know, withdrew his

(07:30):
bid and now he's backing Trump, you probably not that
into RFK that you're looking to.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Vote for him.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Great point, And Andy, what do you think is ahead
for President Trump with these these state prosecutions, that the
remaining stage of the New York abomination, you know, as
well as Georgia et cetera. Should he win a week
from today, and I guess, and the event he loses.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Well, I think, you know, the the common now of
them is, if he wins, presumably the Justice Department will
make motions if it's necessary to do this. Hopefully the
state governments would do the right thing. But if it's
necessary to do it, they would go into court and
under the supremacy clause, they would have those proceedings suspended

(08:19):
so that it doesn't put him above the law. It
doesn't mean the proceedings go away. It would mean that
while he's president, they can't interfere with the functioning of
the executive branch. And then they could pick up the
cases when he's eighty three, when he gets out of office.
Right the Atlanta case, the Fulton County case, I really
don't think that's going anywhere anytime soon, because the disqualification

(08:44):
issue is not even going to be heard by the
State of Pelic court until December, and then that'll be
resolved sometime next year. She could be kicked off the case,
and then the case would get transferred to hopefully a
better prosecute whose office that decides to strike it. But
even if she isn't and the case continues, then Trump

(09:05):
has a lot of motions to make on the immunity front,
which hasn't been litigated yet. That'll be years on that case.
The New York case is trickier because the judge one
march On, who's an activist Democrat, wants to rule on
the immunity question on November twelfth, basically a week after
the election, and then he intends to sentence Trump, you know,

(09:29):
quote unquote if it's necessary, like he's going to you know,
like he's going to rule against Alvin Bragg on this
immunity right, but he wants to sentence Trump on November
twenty sixth. And I think immunity, as the Supreme Court
has stress, is an issue that needs to be front
loaded in a litigation because the problem with immunity, unlike

(09:51):
other eras that happen in litigation and criminal cases, is
that it's objectionable to have the proceeding in the first place.
So I think the immunity should be litigated fully, including
on appeal before he gets sentenced. But if he does,
if that doesn't happen and the courts allow him allow
Trump to be sentenced, what I would just stress to

(10:15):
people is, no matter what sentence merch On imposes, even
if he tries to impose a prison sentence to that
ridiculous case, which I think will be overturned on appeal,
Trump is going to get bail. He's going to get
bail pending appeal under New York laws. So nobody, He's
not going off to Rikers Island. We're not going to
have to have an inauguration day at Attica. It's none

(10:37):
of those happening.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
What what an abuse of the system, I mean, what
a disgrace. And you know, a guy like you who
has reached the pinnacle of the profession, you know, everybody
who knows how important the system is. I just think
that New York prosecution is just the worst abuse I've
seen in my lifetime.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well, especially when we're dealing with a progressive prossecutter who
often won't prosecute real criminals, and you know who's notorious
for taking serious crimes and pleading them down to misdemeanors.
Here he took no crime and turned it into thirty
four felon.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, and really appreciate your good work on that and
everything else and your time today. Thank you, Andy, so valuable.
Last question, any predictions. I know election day is a
week from yesterday. I expect will have the results confirmed
a week from today, but any predictions, well, you.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Know, I think it's going to be a very close race.
I'm a little bit concerned that the narrative that you know,
Trump is thrown away and Harris's you know, she's basically beaten.
I don't like the you know, I have enough I
roots for the Mets and the Jets, so I have
enough bad things happen that I never can I never

(11:53):
had any man till the whistle blows at the end,
So I think I'd be feeling pret if I were Trump.
But you know, they got to get out the vote
on election day is a really important thing and I
hope they have that handled.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Amen.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, So grateful for the time today, my friend, and
have a great week and enjoy election night.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Thanks so much, Dan, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Take care of that.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Sandy McCarthy, do not miss his podcast, The McCarthy Report.
It is it is worth every minute and more. You're
on the Dan Caplas.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Show and now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
Is this real?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Look at CNN? I have CNN on CNN. What's on
CNN right now?

Speaker 1 (12:40):
It appears to be President Trump with an orange work
vest in a garbage truck.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, but I can't tell.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I can't tell because it's a close up of the cab.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I can't tell if it's a garbage truck or not.
But that would be the too gral right there.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
And he does have the orange vest on and having
worn that vest many times, like out on the rung
way working as a bag man.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
Yeah, yeah, that time garbage truck in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
I think it is a garbage truck. That is so
good taking questions from the press the vest.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
I'm picking up the trash, not the followers. I love
that it's that is so beautiful. What a gift.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
But he goes back to write what we've talked about
forever on this show, which is Joe Biden wants Harris
to lose.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
No thinking person can deny that.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Do you think he wants the people who pants him
and taped him naked to the goalpost to win?

Speaker 2 (13:46):
No, he wants the people who deposed him.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
To be humiliated, and and so this is just another
way he's accomplishing that. And I do thank him for
that public service. But yeah, and it's so funny. CNN
opened their show today with this big headline, Trump Harrison, Wisconsin,
amid fallout over Biden's quote garbage remark.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
So what what a gift?

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Nobody really talking about the comic anymore, which is a
good thing.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Wow. So yeah, just.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Picture president Truck, President Trump president Truck. Right, Yeah, it'd
be a great name. Wouldn't you like to be Ryan
Truck or Danny Truck.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Or heavy man name? Yeah, make it easy to get Dad.
You've ever seen Dan?

Speaker 5 (14:30):
Now you were, you know, out of your mind a
little bit about this Tony Hingecliff thing. But have you
ever seen a boomerang effect like this? Oh my lord,
Tony Hingecliff doesn't happen. Joe Biden doesn't call Trump surprise
garbage right right?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
And uh but but listen.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
I I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was
just Biden or the people around him sitting down and
figuring out how to best help defeat Harris.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
You know, I don't think he won to help Trump.
I think he hates Trump.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
And he obviously despises, you know, all of us as
Trump supporters. He's made that clear many times before. Why
would anybody have any doubt or surprise that he would now.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Call all of us garbage?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he just sat
down and the folks around him and thought, okay, you know,
how do we how do we bail him out on
this one? And he sure did. But that does appear
to be a garbage truck. It's just as you picture
as you drive along, and you don't want to be
looking at the image obviously, President Trump leaning out the
window of what appears to be a garbage truck wearing

(15:35):
an orange work vest, still has his shirt and tie on,
and it is ryan. It's so strikingly similar to the
image of leaning out the window of the McDonald's drive
through one of us.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's just one of those great shots.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Now, the truck itself, it isn't like the one that
you know comes to my house every Friday. It it
looks like a big white truck and then it had
it is a garbage truck. Yeah, it's just a lot
cleaner than the one that comes to my house, understandably.
And uh and it's a garbage truck. It has an
American flag on the back. It has Trump twenty twenty
four US. Are you surprised that shut down the tarmac

(16:14):
to Trump Force one?

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Okay, now you're gotten on Fox News. You're you're yeah, Wow,
what am I supposed to do? Yeah? So it's you're
burying the lead here? Yes, what city is he in?

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, green Bay, which is so happy it
doesn't have Aaron Rodgers anymore.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
But yeah, it's greed. Marv though is going to be
at the rally, and he's going to be at the
rally in Green Bay, that's right.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
So yeah, you gotta picture this big white garbage truck
rolling down the tarmac, Trump leaning.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Out the front and tow it is perfect.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
So wow, what a great way to finish this one. Oh,
we got so much to do today. Listen, if you
weren't with us yesterday, you missed something really good because
we're jumping all over this enormously important story of Jenn Griswold,
Colorado Secretary of State. Secretary of State's office posting six

(17:05):
hundred of these passwords these really important passwords, six hundred
of them online and apparently they've been up there from
some time. As I understand, the story just available to
everybody publicly. And remember Jenna Griswold deposed Tina Peters in
Mesa County when Tina Peters had made one of those

(17:28):
passwords public and at the time, Jenna Griswold said, this
biosios password alone, put that in quotes, was a major
security breach. Here were six hundred of them. Now, this
story should have a lot of lakes because there are
a lot of very important questions to be answered. There's
a lot that must be done at a very high

(17:50):
level to assure that there's election integrity in this election
and beyond, and is any of that happening? Is all
of that happening? But here's the thing I want to
flag for you, and I'm sorry. I'm not trying to
be a jerk. There just isn't time to deliver on
this tease before the break. When we get a chance,
I'll try to do it right on the other side, though,
we've got Rose Poli with us on the other side

(18:12):
to talk about this very issue. Oh pardon me, okay,
little change in schedule. Rose will be with us a
bit later. Jeff Hurd'll be with us.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
On the other side.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
But I want to explain to you the story behind
the story, as I believe it, you have not heard
this anywhere else. This will be brand new, this will
be fresh. But what I really think is going on,
particularly with Kyle Clark leading the charge on the story.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Why I'll tell.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
You you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast and
now your moment of Biden with the forty sixth President
of the United States, Joseph R.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Biden.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
This is a.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Moment when a dreaming seeming screaming.

Speaker 6 (19:06):
Just the other day, I speaker at his rally called
Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well, let me
tell you something. I don't know the Puerto rican that
I know, or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home
state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The only
garbage I see floating down there is just supporters.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
As the Texter says, Dan, the garbage comment was divine intervention,
and we can talk about that separately. Listen, I've been
on the record as saying and I believe it to
my Core. I hope to find out one day after
this life. But I do believe God saved President Trump
and Butler. Can I say that that Joe Biden coming

(19:49):
out to sabotage Kamala Harris was divine intervention?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Not all the way there yet, but be very grateful
for it.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
If it was. Hey, let's go to the VIP line.
Welcome Jeff Heard to the show. A week from today,
he will be elected formally finally as Congressman in c
D three. Jeff, Welcome back to the Dan Kaplas Show.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Hey, thanks so much.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Dan. We're not there yet.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
We've got to keep the pedal of the medal and
finish strong.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Oh, there is no doubt about that.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
I mean, this could be one of those races, right,
I mean last time around it was what five or
six hundred vote margin for Lauren.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Do you think it'll be that close?

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Well, I hope not. We're working hard to get the
vote out and I tell all your listeners in the
third Congressional District turn that ballot in. It's too late
to mail it. Oh yeah, you get that ballot turned
in or voted. We need all the help we can
get to make sure.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
We finished strong. That's right.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
I do not stick in the mail, just take it
on down, he Jeff, Let me get that website in
so I don't forget. Is it the full Jeff heard
for Colorado dot com.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
That's correct, Dan, and spill out j E F F
H E R D F O R Colorado dot com.
That's the website.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
And you know, I know every campaign can always use money,
but as a practical matter, with so few days left,
other than voting, in addition to voting, what's the best
way people can help.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Well, in addition to contributions, which are certainly helpful until
the very end, phone banking, Go ahead, reach out on
our website. Let us know you're interested in calling it.
You do not have to live in a third congressional district.
The phone bank.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
We would love your help.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
We need to help in getting out the vote. And
that's the best, one of the best ways that people
can help here in this final stretch.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
What's turnout looking like? It's good?

Speaker 4 (21:24):
It's trending in a way that leaves me canstiously optimistic.
But you know, one of the things I said on
a campaign trail is my opponent has all the money,
but we have the people and dollars don't vote. People vote,
and so we're doing everything you can to get people
out and voting. And I you know, I'm constiously optimistic.
I think we can pull this off, but we cannot
blow down one bit, not until seven pm on November fifth.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah. No, you're so right about that.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean, because you've got an opponent who has all
the money anybody could possibly spend, and my constitutionally protected
opinion is willing to say a bunch of stuff that
just isn't so right. So that's a tough combination. Fortunately,
if you don't know Jeff, please do look him up.
He brings a heck of a lot to the table,
very very strong candidate and will be a superb congressman.

(22:09):
Because what I'm always looking at Jeff with you know,
congressional candidates, is hey, are they going to make a difference?
You know, yeah, you got to get them elected, you
got to have the majority, But then are they going
to be able to get in there and really get
stuff done?

Speaker 2 (22:21):
And tell folks why? You will as I believe you will.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Well, I'm Aclaro native. I grew up in this district.
I have spent my entire professional career representing rural Colorado
and just talk to the people at work.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
But I'll tell you that.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
I'm a problem solver. I'm a hard worker, not a
career politician. And I'm the guy that's going to secure
the border, grow our energy economy, cut back on the
Biden Harris inflation, and protect our state's water. And I'm
the guy that's going to do that. And I've done
that in my career. And if you want a candidates
from the district and for the district, Jeff Hurd is
your guy.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Amen to that.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Well man, he appreciate the time today. Best of luck
with everything. Hopefully a lot of folks go to Jeff
Heard for Colorado, Hurd Heard for Colorado dot com. You know,
get on your phone, bank any other way they can help.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Good luck man.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Thanks so much, Dan, take care. We'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
That is Jeff Heard. He will be a superb addition
to Congress. Eight five to five for zero five two
five five takes d A five seven seven three nine.
Again if you just joined us, thank you. But you've
got to see this visual when you get home of
President Trump. Absolutely brilliant. Now, of course, the big question
is this even better than McDonald's. I can't say that

(23:34):
because McDonald's instant, classic, brilliant touches every American.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Right.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Do you think how many American right one quarter of
one percent have not been to a McDonald's or eating
at McDonald's. It's universally all right, But this is truly
universal because everybody has to throw the trash out ironically.
Now it's not an original line, obviously, but now the
trash we are going to be throwing Biden out.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
But think about to dan with the visual to connect
with everyday Americans, whether it's McDonald's or the garbage truck,
they feel like Donald Trump cares about a person like them.
There is no such connection with Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
She's above it all.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
She's not somebody that connects I don't think with the
average voter. And even though Donald Trump is a New
York billionaire, day on me personally, I feel like Donald Trump.
I relate to him a lot more than I do
to her, and I feel like he cares about me
a lot more than she does.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Right, And it just comes back to just reality.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Right.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Everybody knows it's true.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I know it, especially from having had the privilege of
being a golf caddie. You know where I caddied for
an awful lot of rich people and uber rich people.
In fact, it's golfers who sent me to college through
the Even Scholarship. And what I learned there and other
places is that, yeah, you have some rich people who
are arrogant snobs and look down on us, but there
are so many rich people who are the opposite of that.

(24:54):
And Donald Trump is one of those rich people who's
the opposite of that. Kamala Harris isn't a billionaire. He's
just an elitist snob who truly looks down on almost
all of the rest of us, you know, as clearly
Joe Biden does, and he's made it clear so many
times before the garbage coming. But here's what I want
to make sure I get to before the break. And again,

(25:16):
I hope you see that visual at home, President Trump
with the orange work vest on in the passenger seat
of the garbage truck, leaning out the window, answering reporters questions.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
A big Trump.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Twenty twenty four on the side of the garbage truck
instant classic, and whether it was divine intervention or not,
it had the same effect. This is just a tremendous
boost right changes the channel from that incredibly stupid performance
by that comedian on so called comedian on Sunday, and
it just goes right to the heart of this, just

(25:48):
goes right to the heart of this. But anyway, I'm
shifting back now to the Colorado Secretary of State. A
tremendous reporting by Kyle Clark at KUSA on this story.
We played a bunch of it yesterday, will play more today.
But Kyle does this great job in this interview with
Jenna Griswold. It's fearless, it's organized, it's to the point
he pins her down, asks her if she's going to resign,

(26:10):
And that's great journalism. And you may ask, well, then
why don't we see more of that? Why don't we
see more of that from Kyle? Because, as I've said along,
he has big skills. I just think he's, you know,
most of the time just been kind of a mouthpiece
for the left. But this was tremendous journalism, tremendous contribution
to Colorado. And so the question becomes, Okay, well why

(26:34):
why in this case? First I'm thankfully did it regardless
of motives. Second, I can't know his motives. I'm just
guessing here, But here's my guess. My guess, Ryan, is
that the reason, the reason that we saw this hard
hitting interview with Griswold and we saw this this story

(26:54):
all true, very very well put together, that Barry's Griswald
is guess what starts a week from today?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
What starts a week from today.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
This is not on anybody's radar, but I personally believe
it's very much on the radar of the leftist activist.
What starts a week from today is the governor's race.
The governor's race starts a week from today, and there
is no doubt in my mind the left wants Griswold
out of the picture. They want Griswold out of that

(27:28):
governor's race. They want to bury her. They want to
bury her because the left. I mean, if Joe No
Goose wants it, he's going to be a top contender.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
Right.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
We know Phil Wiser probably wants it, right, Mike Johnston,
he's been running for governor the whole time.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
He's running from mayor.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
So starting a week from today, we're going to have
a very active governor's race in Colorado with an open seat.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Right and so I.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Think the left wants Jenna Griswold out of the way
and only be a guess. I don't know for a
fact it's true, but my guess is that's what was
behind Kyle Clark so expertly and appropriately blowing up Jenna Griswold.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
On Wednesday, November sixth, will Dan Caplis be announcing, I.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Thought you liked gum stop stop stop hit the delay?
What do we have a seven second delay?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Let's get a sixty second delays, none of that nonsense.

Speaker 7 (28:23):
But I'm Kelly Kukiera and I approve of this message.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Ah man, well I'll vote for you, Kelly. I'll vote
for you.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
But yeah, you know, it'd be worth running just to
be the first candidate to ever say I'm Dan Kaplis,
and I do not approve of this message. Okay, but anyway, no,
I personally believe that's what's going on. Could be wrong,
could be the Kyle Clark just saw this and said,
you know what, it's time to use my god given
skills and do some great down the middle journalism that

(28:51):
serves the people of Colorado. And if that's what happened,
he did it very well. But my suspicion is because
my opinion he so often acts as an extension to
the left is the left wants to bury Griswold, and
they just did it. They need her out of the
way because look at what happens on the left. Okay,
you get all this lip service paid to Oh, we're

(29:12):
so enlightened, and we're this and where that, and then
who do they run old white guys? Who do they
elect old white guys? Yeah, they need her out of
the way. You're on the Dan Caplas Show.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast to night.

Speaker 8 (29:27):
There's a new reporting about Joe Biden and a moment
that explains why things are the way that they are.
Sources tel CNN that the President is in do no
harm mode, stabling himself to the bench at the direction
of the Harris campaign. Well even from the White House,
he may have done some pretty significant harm in the
final week of the campaign. Just listen to this and

(29:48):
give you the judge.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
And just the other day, I speaker at his rally
called Puerto Rico a floating arm of garbage. Well, let
me tell you something, I don't know the Puerto rican
that I know or Puerto Rico, where I'm in my
home state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The
only garbage I see floating down there is the supporters.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah wow, so what a gift. Right, And listen, we've
all known that that's how he views us, and that's
how she views us, and that's how most of the
left views us.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
But how nice of him to just say it out loud.
I think.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
At about the same time, she was given her so
called final argument with the White House as a backdrop,
which is really interesting since I thought she was trying
to distance herself from Biden. But take everything we can
get right eight five ur zero five eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Rose pug Glacy will join us at five six to
talk about this major story involving Jenny Griswold, Colorado Secretary

(30:48):
of State's office, six hundred passwords to election equipment in
Colorado posted online, and where that needs to go from
here if you weren't with us earlier, my theory here
as to why Griswold got hit so hard on Channel
nine by Kyle Clark, who did some tremendous reporting on this.

(31:10):
No matter what the reason he did it tremendous reporting
and very valuable to the state. My own theory, though,
is that the left wants Griswold gone because a week
from today, I know it's probably not on your radar yet,
understandably you're a sane person. A week from today, the
governor's race starts in the open, full throttle. Now, a

(31:30):
lot of it will still be behind the scenes. But
a week from today, after we get through this twenty
four election, yeah, the race for governor open seat in Colorado,
and you're going to have all these high level Dems competing.
They want Griswold out of the way.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Right.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Just just one of the dirty, little not so secrets
of the left is they pay all this lip service
to being enlightened and diversity and equal opportunity.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
And then oh, yeah, who.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Are the two senators from Colorado, old boring white guys, right,
who's the mere Denver? Well, yeah, that's another white guy.
Oh who's the governor of Colorado? Yeah, another old, boring
white guy or middle aged, boring white guy. So all
the slip service from the left to gender equality in
this equality and that equality, but who gets the big jobs?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, the white guys.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
So they need Griswold out of the way because she's
power hungry. She wants one of those big jobs. Looks
like the Senate seat is not going to be open
unless Polish is Polish pardon me is able to push
Chicken Looper out, but hick and Looper seems to be
saying that he wants to stay.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
But we do know the governor's race is going to
be on with.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
An open seat, and I think the left wants Griswold gone,
and I think they've pretty much accomplished that.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Eric in Denver, you're on the Dan Kaplis show.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Welcome, Hey you great American?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Oh how nice.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
I was just listening to you and wait.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
If I've known it was you, we would have we
would have interrupted the commercial break.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
And you are amazing.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
Hey, young man, you're great America. I was telling the
great producer Kelly that me and my wife woke up
when I took her to work at Angosiphs. Both of
our President Donald Trump signs were missing from up front
yard Dan here in Parky.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Ooh yes, oh my lord, do you have a camera.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
We're gonna know, well, get a camera up and we'll
spread the video the next time these thieves come.

Speaker 7 (33:24):
By, Well, we have some bigger ones on order, and
we're gonna put it right back out there, but a
little closest to the house, and I'm gonna do a
Winky Winky asked you a question.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Like I did.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
You're a great producer, Kelly alsotically.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yes, she is.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
Hypothetically, Dan, you've been a lawyer. If I got them,
I don't own a gun. I don't own no weapon,
Winky Winky. But can I shoot him?

Speaker 2 (33:55):
It really depends on how much you like jail and
going to hell.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Oh well.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Not not only can you not shoot them, you cannot
touch them, you cannot threaten that. My I'm just giving
you my my real world opinion, okay. And it's a
mix of law and where you live, because you say.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
You live in Denver. Yeah right.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
You you lay a finger on somebody stealing a Trump
sign in Denver, and and you know you're gonna you're
gonna get that DA to change positions on the death penalty.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
They'll be looking for the death penalty for Eric, so
they so I get it.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
But oh, you're assuming some level of justice. No, no, no, Eric,
please no. But but here's what we can do. We're
peace love, right, we're peace love, law abiding people. Get
a camera, get them on camera. It ain't defamation if
it's true, get them on camera. Let's get that video everywhere.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Okay, I'm black, you buddy.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
You too, my friend, Thank you, Eric, and thank you
for putting that sign up there. Rose Paglici will join
us after the break talking about this major story with
the Colorado Secretary of State putting all these passwords online.
