Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis 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. And True Justice
in the American Way are officially winning. So let the
(00:20):
celebration continue and don't let it end. Why shouldn't it
have to end? Where's the rule that, oh, okay, celebration
has to end after a day, a week, a month.
There is no such rules. So we're going to continue
that celebration, turn the joy into more and more victories.
So lots of good news I want to pass along
to you very shortly. We're waiting on the next big
batch of votes in the Gabe Evans race in CD eight,
(00:43):
and emy, what are we? What are we in the
third world or something? We're two days later and we
can't get the votes counted in Colorado? What's what's going
on there? Does not sound like gold standard to me.
Let's go to the VIP line. Welcome another conquering hero,
Jeff Heard to The Dan Caplis Show. And Jeff won
a tough race in CD three Jeff, it's all tough
(01:03):
when your opponent like has this printing press and can
just print money, and what do we need to add
another couple of million? Okay, so you were up against
this money machine and the press, much of the press
glorifying your opponent is something he's not, and you beat
him anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That's right, Dan.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
First, it's great to be with you. Happy to help
you continue in that celebration. Yes, I'm also keeping my
fingers cut across for gate Evans. Oh yeah, but yes,
what I told voters when I was on the campaign
trail is yes, my opponent has the money, but we
have the people, and dollars don't vote. People vote, and
I think we saw that on Tuesday, and I'm thrilled
with the results and looking forward to serving my district.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Well, God love you. I mean, first, you're going to
serve real well because you know you're built that way.
But second, that seat is going to be so important
to the majority, right because I think it matters a
whole lot if the majority's five instead of four, or
seven instead of three. So I think your seat is
really important.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
We need every seat we can get in the House,
particularly with President Trump in the White House, Republican Senate.
The more seats the better in the House. If we're
going to advance agenda that helps not only rural Colorado
in my district, but our entire state in our country.
So yeah, we'll keep our fingers crossed that that majority grows,
including with jab Evans and Jeff Ford.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Let me ask you this question. Okay, so you go in,
you're moving into your office in the Capitol, and then
all of a sudden, there's this there's this little genie
in a bottle on your desk, you know, and you
rub it, pops out, says, okay, get you get one thing, Jeff.
You can accomplish one thing in your whole congressional career.
(02:40):
Guaranteed won't be the only thing you accomplished, but this
one's guaranteed. What's it going to be? How do you
answer the genie?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Secure the border that's vital to the good title of
our country. Yeah, and we need to do everything we
can to secure our southern border. And it's an economic issue,
it's a national security issue with a humanity issue as well.
So that's something that we promised the voters as Republicans
we're going to do. We got to deliver on it.
So that's what you're going to see as one of
(03:07):
my top priorities in Congress.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And I don't think you'd be the only new congress
person telling the genie that. So, yeah, that's awesome, and
that's what that's I think, you know the number one
thing are tied for number one that the American people
want from Trump want from you guys. So congrats my friend,
and I know it's going to be a great run.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Thanks so much, Dan, so wanted to have your support
and help, and I look forward to talking to you
many more times than the months and years to come.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's going to be a great ride. You take care
of thanks, Jeff, take care Dan. That is a Congressman elect.
Jeff heard. And boy, how well did that work out?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Because as I told respectfully Congressman Bobert yesterday that she
had so many and so much big leftist money and
enemies aligned, she was probably going to lose in the third.
So she does the wise thing and gets out of
the third runs in the force, she gets that seat,
and then Jeff Hurd is able to step in and
win a race that like would have been lost, and
(04:02):
the country comes out ahead, So cool thing to see
eight five five for zero five eight two five five
The number text d A N five seven seven three
nine is to go back to our jammed lines. Yeah,
I'm keeping an eye on this next batch of votes.
It's supposed to come in the CD eight race and
about two thousand vote difference. Now Gave needs to make
up about two thousand votes, So I'll let you know
(04:23):
as soon as that batch comes in. And one thing
I just want to point out, though, it's a bigger
story than the headlines are giving a credit for. Today,
President Trump names his chief of staff. It's Susie Wiles.
Really important for two big reasons. One is it's it
isn't going to be a freak show there this time around.
(04:45):
You're not going to have Amoroso wandering into the Oval office.
You're not gonna have Scaramoucci or any of those people.
I think I told you the story. I was out
in DC to cover something and I'm staying over at
the Trump Hotel and I'm in the restaurant. I'm having
something to eat. Now you're this motion downstairs, this guy
screaming in his cell phone and it's Scaramucci. And this
is while he was in the administration, I thought, this
(05:06):
guy is truly whack. So with Susie Wiles around and
the lessons learned from the first term, I think you're
going to see such a high quality group surrounding Trump,
the kind of group he really deserves and needs. The
other thing is she's the first female chief of staff
ever in the history of America. And it just points
out the phoniness of the left. Right. They're so enlightened,
(05:30):
there's so much better than we are because they really
care about women, they really care about people of color. Yeah,
show it. Okay, So where is your female chief of staff,
Barack Obama or your female chief of staff Bill Clinton
or Joe Biden. Yeah? Yeah, certainly not in the White House. Yeah,
(05:50):
And same thing in Colorado. You get the same kind
of look down the nose that the rest of us
preaching from these phonies on the left. And who holds
all the top jobs except secretaries state? Hey, yeah, governor's
job mere denver US Senate, both US Senate seats. Oh yeah,
white guys, and listen, I think you've got to be
judged by that, As doctor King said, the content of
(06:12):
your character, not the color of your skin, but come on,
you're telling me on the left you couldn't find any
qualified people other than white guys for those jobs. No
the left or phonies. Let's get back to the phone lines.
Let's go up to Ray and Johnstown. Love Johnstown. You're
on the Dane Kapla Show. Welcome Ray, Thanks Dan.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
My questions more just about I guess speculation on what
could have happened or what will happen with this Popular
Vote compact that I think we voted into law and
it took effect earlier this year, so most of the
states that come all at one. If Trump obviously continues
to hold the popular vote, all of those electoral votes
(06:55):
will go to him. If I understand that.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh I wish that was true, Ray, because I'd love
to see color Out have to cast its votes for Trump.
But now they've got to get a certain number of
states to sign on before it becomes effective. And I
don't think they've done that yet.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Okay, I'd be interested.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I haven't heard anybody talk about it. Look at it.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I did.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I thought it was I feel like they have I did,
and I was so disappointed because I was so excited.
You know, Colorado have to cast Now they need more
states to sign on.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
First more states, Well, yeah, it just tells them the
folly of their ways.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Right and then amen to that? Yeah, yeah, so much.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm happy for the country, so.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, absolutely, and hey, don't stop celebrating. And I mean
that literally, It's important to keep this celebration going for
years and then just take that energy and use it
to win more races. Junior in Highlands Ranch. Everybody named
Junior is like six eight three point fifty and can
pick up a bus. Junior, how you doing.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
I'm doing great. I haven't talked to you guys in
a while. Yeah, Michael, how you been?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I am living the dream, my friend. How about you.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Still doing a happy dance every day Tuesday night?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Don't stop, don't stop, and less celebration.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Let's see if I can get this question in before
your break. I'm what I'm concerned about, is President Trump
and all those teams going to have all these great
ideas and I wonder maybe you and Lion can give
me your comment if he's going to have any resistance
from this deep state and how he's going to solve
that so he can get all of these policies fixed
(08:38):
that we've been in this best for the last three
and a half years. So that's all I have to say,
and have a great holiday. If I don't talk to you.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Too, Thank you. Appreciate the call. Appreciate the call. And
you are one hundred percent correct that there's going to
be every kind of resistance that that the left can
can mount. And that resistance, I mean, shoot, you think
Aron's going to stop trying to kill him. No, Aron's
going to keep trying to kill him. And then on
(09:07):
the left politically, you're going to have every kind of
resistance they can mount. But one of the reasons I'm
so encouraged now is look at what Trump is overcome.
And I understand we're all human. We all have our
plus and minus column. He's not perfect, and when he's imperfect,
like everything in his life, it tends to be bigger
and bolder. But the plus column is so vast, and
(09:28):
you look at everything he's overcome to achieve that. I'm
sitting here right now thinking he's going to be able
to overcome anything they throw at him. You've obviously got
to keep him safe. Interesting peace today in the New
York Times talking about how down the stretch, you know,
how you'd see Trump Force One like circling an event.
According to New York Times, often Trump wasn't on Trump
(09:48):
Force one. They were flying Trump in separately on an
unmarked plane. So got to keep him safe. But in
terms of political resistance, and it's foreign enemies that I'm
worried about there, starting with Iran and others acting on
Iran's behalf. But beyond that, politically, yeah, I think he
can handle anything. The demoster atom, I mean, really, what's left, right,
(10:11):
I mean, what more can they try to throw at him?
And that's why he is so perfectly poised now for
a great run. The other biggest thing is and I know,
we got to pop this break then I'll come back
to everybody else is yeah, I understand, and thank god
literally Dave McCormick one, it's another example of life conquering death.
Dave McCormick, Pro life in Pennsylvania, the ultimate swing state,
(10:34):
defeats a pro abortion casey, So that that is a
beautiful thing to be hold. So now you get to
fifty four in the Senate. He needs sixty for the
really really big stuff. But Trump has so much political
capital now, he did so well in so many blue
states for the certain right big bills. He's got a
real chance to flip enough Democrat senators to be able
(10:56):
to put that together. So so many reasons to be optimistic.
What lessons from Tuesday's Orange crush can we take to
Colorado to win here? That next on The Dan Kapla.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Show, and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Never in our lifetimes have we been so perfectly positioned,
no guarantees right, life happens, but so perfectly positioned for
a long, transformative run of conservative governance with really exciting, talented,
inspiring people in charge. It just sets up perfectly because
obviously you've got Trump with more political capital coming in
(11:37):
office than any president in my lifetime. You've got Trump
coming in He's proven before he can have a great presidency.
He knows even better now what he has to do
great choice today with this Susie Wiles now being his
chief of staff, and you're gonna have a much more
disciplined White House. You're not gonna have the freak show
you sometimes had before. And then it is understood, it's
(12:01):
not even implicit, because this is his last term, You're
going to have this gradual, empowering, enabling passing of the
torch to JD. Vans and to other great conservative talent
out there. And the bottom line is this stuff works.
I mean, I was a Democrat for years, and you know,
(12:21):
after I became a Republican, I became a Republican initially
very reluctantly over the life issue. But once I got
into the party and I started going to these events
and meeting these people and paying more attention to policy,
I realized that that a the people in the Republican
Party are really cool and deeply care about people of
(12:41):
color and people are disadvantaged. They want equal opportunity for everybody,
and I never would have believed that before I became
a Republican. Second, the stuff works. And that's my point
is this stuff works. It was working in Trump's first term.
If COVID had knocked him out of a second term,
then then you know, we probably would have been on
this run right now. But it just sets up perfectly
(13:03):
for that. And what America has just shown is it's
not all tied up in red and blue. And if
if the blue ain't working, it'll go to red, and
then if the red keeps working, it's going to stay red.
Rick In Denver. You're on the Dan Capitol Show. So
what lessons do we take from Tuesday night and apply
now in Colorado so we can start winning here? Hey, Rick,
(13:24):
what are you thinking?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, you were talking to a guy there in Nebraska,
and you know that's what they're trying to turn Nebraska
into another Colorado.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
How are you going to do that?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Hey? That deal in in Omaha they're tryingly did a.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
US seat a US Senate seat?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I thought somebody said that. Or they're trying to get
a new district.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, what they did. As you know Nebraska now,
electoral college votes go by congressional districts.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
So she vote there?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Oh well, Kamala Herris one. I think it's c D
two in Nebraska. She won that overwhelmingly that Omaha area.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah. Yeah, that's the next thing they're working on. Now.
That'd be like they'd lecture these farmers that Kim hoped
to be. Uh it's sexual politics, man.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I think if they can turn Nebraska blue, I just
got to take my hat to because I don't see
any way, given the ethic of Nebraska, they vote, yeah,
let me look it up, give me one second. But
given the ethic of Nebraska. I don't see any way.
I mean, look at Colorado, my friend, look at Colorado.
We're not that far away. We're in the average race.
(14:33):
John Kellner, who was a great candidate, everything came within
eight or nine and the ages raised. Trump was about
ten or eleven behind. We're not that far away.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, I hope we get back to being read well.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And all I'm saying is you look at Colorado and
all the advantages the left has here in Colorado right now,
and we're not that far away. So the state of Nebraska,
no way they're going to be able to turn that blue.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
So what was the Nebraska vote?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, oh yeah yeah, but here
I'm trying to pull up the exact numbers for you.
It's one thing I was not prepared for today, is
what the vote was in Nebraska.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Oh there, he worked pretty well as they expected.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, yeah, no, she did.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Man, I know, I'm using a vague word. They Yeah,
they're just regular people trying to get along. And I
don't have anything against them, but they're getting carried away
with the sexual politics. Well, and they're trying to appeal
a lot of the lonely run up from a farming background.
You know, people get lonely.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But what do you mean by sexual politics.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Well, there's a big you know, the age were really
I mean, I respect them, but they're trying to I
believe coming at nebraska's all the sexual politics.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah, and I'm just pulling up the numbers. I'm still
not sure I'm tracking, my friend, but the outcoming Nebraska
was wow. Yeah, I'm finding a hard time, having a
hard time, pardon me finding the exact numbers. I'll pull
those for you.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Well, okay, you could go.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Over any one dig excepting.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The Chicago Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, but remember Division Street, I do.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
That's what their.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Development in the Braska.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
They're going to have their version of it. Buddy.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So, my friend, you're thinking that the left is going
to be able to turn Nebraska like majority gay.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I just think that that's it's a way to gain them.
There's a lot of people who have traveled. I don't know,
I say too much, and I don't have to get
any against them. It's just that the regular, the old
time farmers, people who are still connected through their heritage,
is being trounced on here in the country and the
Upper Midwest. Is they really back in the eighteen seventies
(16:43):
really brought the investment capital to this country when they
couldn't get capital for factories and mines in its history
to the Panic of seventy three. And so these are
the sentence of the Granger farmers.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, well, Jack, I really do appreciate that. I'm sorry,
my friend, and I really do appreciate the call. Sorry
I called you Jack, though that's not an insult, right,
Jack's just our next caller. But got to tell you,
one of the beautiful things about the GOP right now
is the way it's expanding that coalition. And I think
there were an awful lot of gay people who voted
for Trump and other GOP candidates, and I think that's fantastic.
(17:20):
I think that's a tremendous thing. But I don't see
Nebraska going blue under any circumstances. In fact, look at
the trend in America, and that's one of the big
things we saw on Tuesday night, so much more red.
Now when we come back, as we talked about, Okay, Colorado,
how do we apply the lessons and win here. There's
a pretty good argument to be made that that was
(17:42):
an enormous Trump victory on Tuesday night, rather than an
enormous GOP victory. And I understand there were plenty good
GOP candidates who did a good job, and Dave McCormick
crant is such a brilliant Senate race in Pennsylvania, but
he wasn't going to win unless Trump romped in Pennsylvania.
So I think it's important to learn the lessons of
(18:04):
how we can win here in Colorado. I think it's
important to also be clear eyed about what really happened
Tuesday night. And while a lot more people voted Republican,
a big driver, there was Trump and so okay, then
how do we keep those people around when the president
finishes a second tremendous term here on the Dan Capla.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
What lessons do we learn from the Trump victory on
Tuesday night that we can apply to Colorado to win here?
I think there are some very concrete lessons. Anxious to
get your take, eight five five for zero five A
two to five five the number tags DA N five
seven seven three nine, I'll throw one out there to
get it started. And that is clearly and we'd been
talking about it on air. It was confirmed in a
(18:55):
New York Times behind the scenes piece today that the
Trump add that featured Kamala Harrison her own words saying
she was leading the charge to have taxpayer funded sex
change surgeries for prisoners, that was the most effective ad
they'd ever seen. For obvious reasons. Right, First, that's just lunacy.
But second, it just exposes how foolish and insane that
(19:19):
this whole business is. How did we ever get to
the point in America where all of a sudden it
was the holy grail of the left, just bind abortion
worship that oh yeah, no, no, guys get to wander
into girls' bathrooms and showers and take over their sports
as long as the guy says I'm Susie instead of Sam.
I mean that, truly is just lunacy. And that's no
disrespect to our brothers and sisters who happened to view
(19:42):
themselves or betrans. No disrespect to them. We're talking about
public policy, and that is insane, upside down public policy,
and America knows it. And suburban moms who usually vote
Democrat know it, and suburban dads who usually vote Democrat
know it. And so when you look at these exit polls,
now and you see how well Trump did with women,
how well he did with suburban women. I will bet
(20:03):
you a lot of it was that issue. And that's
a good lesson for Colorado. And as we had any
of these governor races and Senate races, every one of
those lefty candidates needs to be pinned down. And Okay,
you're telling people right now, you're governor of the state.
You believe that some guy with all those all that,
with the male organ and everything else going on, he
has a right to walk into a woman's shower as
long as he says I'm a woman, that's the person
(20:26):
you want as your governor. I think the GOP needs
to be hammering that issue because it's not just that
issue and has nothing to do with disrespect to trans people.
It has to do with respect for girls and women
and sanity and sensible public policy and safe spaces for
women who deserve those safe spaces and girls who deserve
(20:47):
those safe spaces. So pin them down, Pin them down,
because once they equivocate on that and flop around like
a fish on the shore, then people are going to
know they're whack. And they're being whack goes way beyond
being whack on that issue. Let's go to Jack and Littleton.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show. Welcome Jack, Hey.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Dan, longtime fan.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Been listening to you like twenty years.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Wow, thank you.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
Yeah yeah, back to the summerman days.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I got I've got a question, and I just can't
understand why I want your kind of.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Legal advice on it front from a lawyer stand a
point of view. I mean, been watching the left rail
against Trump. They call him hitler, they accuse of.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Of incited in a wretch, of inciting a insurrection.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
And they.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
The Steele dossier, all these things.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Why doesn't he why.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Doesn't he filed defamation or.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
Libel lawsuits against these people.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And get on the offensive.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Just curious, you're daking.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
No great, great question, my friend. And as you know,
under the New York Times standard, the bar is high.
But there's still a bar. I mean, you you know,
have to you have to prove basically it was intentional
and then they knew that what they were saying was
untrue and they did it anyway. I mean as a
practical matter, that's what you got to be able to do.
But your response, Jack would be, well, yeah, there's a
(22:05):
lot of that out there, and then I think what
what Trump has said to measure is is it worth
his time and money to do that, knowing how high
that bar is. And second, when you do that, you
just call more attention to the defamation to begin with. Now,
I think there's a real positive trend where we're starting
(22:26):
to see some public figures bring and win some defamation
cases and and win some big judgments. I hope we
see that trend continue, not to stifle free speech but
to stifle lies.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Sure, sure, but but for instance, the sildosia that that's.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I mean, that's intentional.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
It was extreme slander and libel. I can't imagine if
somebody if that was me, first thing I would do
is Paul you and lawyer up.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I just don't understand why he was, well, go ahead,
No I did.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Sorry, Jack, I didn't mean to interrupt you. But yeah,
that's that's why I offered on this show in the
last week that I would represent Trump for free you know,
in a case against Jim Acosta and CNN when a
constat went on air and reported that Trump had threatened
to execute Liz Cheney. Total lie and a material lie
and a dangerous lie because you know, you've got people
(23:18):
out there trying to kill Trump, and you know when
you then tell those wackos out there, oh he's going
to execute Liz Cheney. But yes, so that's the case.
I think Trump could bring and win.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
And I do it for free, tell you and kind
of wrapping up here, I'll tell you the difference. I mean,
I woke up post election day most optimistic. I'm forty seven,
six years old, most optimistic I've ever been in my life.
My wife and I were planning on packing up for
four years and just going to Croatia, letting everything kind
of blow by, just living low and conservative. And now
we've decided, Okay, this set's a precedent in the next
(23:54):
ten or twenty years is from this next presidency, and
this next administration.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Could be so good.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
We're we're tripling down and investing everything we got in
the market and property and business as we and you know,
so that's the difference in election will make and everything
we have, every dollar we have. Now, I was going
to go straight into this economy and set up sitting
in a bank and you know, living off the residuals
and overseas and can't wait to see what the next
few years brings and thanks for everything you've done. You've
(24:20):
been almost spot on on all your predictions.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Man, So thank you give us a.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Lot of hope through the uh, through the through the
dark times.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Appreciate it well, Thank you. And your call is I think,
very encouraging and happy just to it's so great to
hear that, Jack, And it's so great to hear that
for lots of different reasons, but it's also great to
hear your voice because I do remember you. I do
remember you from the Capitalists in Silverman days and and
so I'm glad you're back.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
Yeah, yeah, called in a few times.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So glad to glad to still hear you on.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
I listen to you every night. And thanks for everything, buddy.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Thank you, Jack, thank you you take care. Wow, what
a cool call. That is great to hear. And yeah
maybe I was I don't know if it was on
air off air yesterday, but I know I was saying
Ryan that listen. If I had thought Kamala Harris was
going to win, I would have sold almost all my
stocks and Amy and I sat down, we had to
have that talk because truly, if we thought she was
(25:15):
gonna win, and Amy has her own politics. In fact,
she once again left the country for election day. Hint, hint,
we don't agree on President Trump, and so she was
out of the country when he had his victory. I
spent election night. It's just me. I got all my screens,
I got the three dogs. I'm all set up. I
got my Jamano's pizza, and it was just kind of heaven.
(25:38):
And every other day of our it's been thirty years.
Hopefully it'll be sixty of marriage. I hope we spend together.
But election night, it's okay to have a little space.
We had a continent or two's worth the space. But
it worked out well for both of us. Eight five
five for zero five A two five five the number
text d A N five seven seven thirty nine text
(25:58):
Dan respectfully disagree. When the country is read and things
are going great, that's when a lot of blue voters
say we can afford to quote do more and drag
us backwards texture obviously referring to, hey, we got to
get our debt and everything else under control. Listen, President
Trump was very open with the voters, and his approach
is the way we're going to have economic stability and
(26:22):
control our deficits. Is going to be through growth. So yeah,
I mean, we should not be sitting here expecting massive
cost cutting from Trump.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I'm really glad he's going to have Musk involved, Elon Musk,
and that's going to be his big thing, and that's
going to be so much fun to see. I hope
that Musk is involved in lots of ways. But Trump's
plan is to grow the economy so big. That's how
we get the deficits under control. And I think it
was off to a pretty good start last time.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
When the Dems start obstructing, Trump needs to do a
press conference and call them out by name right away,
stating this, whatever the issue may be, is what the
American people want. Put the pressure on him. Boy, I'll
tell you, I don't think there's any doubt that we're
going to see that from him. This is the hardest
earned political capital we've ever seen. Right that tried to
put him in jail. Some people, I'm not assigning them
(27:13):
to a political to the left, but some people tried
to kill him. But it was the left that tried
to do what a lot of people would view his
worse than deaths, you know, tried to put him in
jail and end his life that way. And Trump overcame
all of that to win. No, he knows the play
and win big. He knows the political capital he has,
so you bet he is. He's going to be out
(27:35):
there using it. And I think he's going to be
able to get a lot of Dems on board when
he has big votes, because he did so well in
so many blue states and they're going to want to
keep their jobs. Dan Trump point eighty percent of America's
thirty one hundred counties. Yeah, and there are so many
numbers that jump off the page. How about this one
percentage of Americans willing to identify as Democrats to exit pollsters,
(27:59):
thirty two percentage of Americans who trusted Trump more on
abortion than Harris forty five percent, which just goes to
my point. The Democrats aborted themselves in this race. They
were such worshipers of taking inness in human life before birth,
right up to the moment of delivery. They worshiped it,
they dwelled on it, they spent their time on it,
(28:21):
they celebrated it, and every minute they spent doing that
first was kind of a little ghoulish and creepy to
a lot of people. But second was a minute they
weren't spending talking about what people were really going to
vote on, and so they aborted themselves. The other thing
they ran into was the Dobs majority was right, turn
it over to the people. It'll sort itself out. And
a lot of voters figured out, you know what, voters
(28:43):
who identify as pro choice, Hey, I can vote for
this Republican who I know is going to be a
better president on everything else, or governor or senator, and
then I can vote my pro choice views on these
ballot measures. So you know, Kamala Harris is trying to
win it on abortion. Certainly in the Blue Wall state.
She probably lost it on abortion here on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
But Ryan is just, yeah, it's impossible standard to follow
when it comes to the bumper music. Glad you're here.
Celebration continues, it should continue for at least the next
four years. Turn the joy into victory. Speaking of which,
this critical race since c D eight that we've talked
so much about on this show, Gabe Evans tremendous candidate
against Jadiro Caravaio latest votes and by the way, it's
(29:41):
Thursday late on a Thursday, Any conceivable reason we don't
have all the votes counted yet two days later, any
conceivable reason. I thought this was the gold standard, right,
and listen, I think elections in Colorado are reliable and
overall clean. But i' beviously there's stuff that needs to
be cleaned up. But to say this is the gold standard,
(30:03):
how can it be the gold standard when we're sitting
here on Thursday afternoon and one of the most important
congressional races in the country can't be called yet reportedly
tens of thousands of votes not yet counted. I think
that's a different kind of standard. Okay, what do we
have now? We just got a few thousand more votes
(30:23):
in Yudiro Caraveo forty eight point eight nine percent gave
Evans forty eight point four five percent, So that's about
a one thousand vote difference. And I'll keep watching it.
We just got, you know, another few thousand votes in,
but I'll keep watching it and we'll get you what
(30:43):
we can as soon as it comes in, so hopefully
that'll be this year. KIT five five or zero five
A two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. If you just joined us. A few
key highlights from the day. One is President Trump pointing
Susie Wild naming Susie Wiles as is chief of staff,
(31:04):
enormously important for lots of reasons, and starting with the
fact that I've never met her, but by all accounts,
she's fantastic at this, which means you're not gonna have
a freak show. You're not gonna have Amrosa wandering through
the West Wing, You're not gonna have Scaramucci, You're not
gonna have clowns like that, right and so, and we've
seen that best run campaign he's had, and so that's
(31:26):
very encouraging for the next term. Also an interesting point
that she happens to be a woman, you know, the
first female chief of staff in American history, which just
helps point out how phony the left is, right, all
holier than now you know Barack Obama and Bill Clinton
and Joe Biden, you know, where was their female chief
of staff? But Donald Trump has one same thing in Colorado, right,
(31:49):
all the big enlightened equity for all you know, Jared
Polis and Bennett and Hick and Luprin Johnston. Wait a second,
I mean I'm a big content of character not color
skin guy, But all those people are white, and the
left preaches to be so DEI, well, you're telling me
you couldn't find highly qualified women, highly qualified people of
(32:12):
color on the left to be governor or US senators, etc.
I think that's what the left in Colorado's telling us
because they're all white. And remember there was this great
I mean, I disagree with her own policy on everything,
but a very very talented, very very competent treasurer Kirie Kennedy.
She was on track to be governor in Colorado, and
(32:33):
Polish squashed her, just took out a big old money
bag and squashed her like a bug. So yeah, that's
how enlightened he is. So yeah, they're all just phonies.
But Trump I like seeing that appointment on multiple levels.
Some of the other cool data coming out of election
day now, and then the big question, Okay, how do
we turn those lessons into wins? In Colorado? What percentage
(32:54):
of Americans at least told exit polars that they Trump
trust Trump on abortion more than Harris What number flashes
into your mind? Fort across America, forty percent told pollsters
they trust Trump on abortion more than Harris. No, and
what percentage of Americans identified to exit pollsters that they
(33:20):
were Democrat thirty two percent, just thirty two percent of
people were willing to say they were Democrats. So how
do we take those lessons and win here? We better
figure it out quick because guess what, you know, the
governor's race is on that is an open seat right now,
and that governor's races on. Jenna Griswold would already be
in it if if if the GOP hadn't found out
(33:40):
that she posted those six hundred passwords online because she
wasn't telling the clerks. And yeah, so that's probably delayed
her entry a bit. I think the left is trying
to squash her right now with that, and I think
that in part explains why it's received so much attention
from some of the press that seems very very aligned
(34:00):
with the left. And then yeah, and then the US
Senate race, And an interesting thing to watch in the
Colorado US Senate race is going to be does Polish
try to force Hickenlooper out because now right with Trump winning,
Polis has nowhere to go, there's no Harris administration to
go into, and d he's term limited. And hicken Looper
(34:22):
said over the summer. I think to try to keep
Polus at bay. That he Hick and Looper was going
to serve another term. So does Hick and Looper now,
you know, face a challenge from Poulis. It's going to
be a lot of interesting things to watch, but let's
keep celebrating this. Figure out how to turn it into
wins in Colorado, wins nationally for a long time. Zach,
thank you, you're great. Alexa in for Kelly, thank you, Alex.
Always great to see you. Please join us tomorrow
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis 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. And True Justice
in the American Way are officially winning. So let the
(00:20):
celebration continue and don't let it end. Why shouldn't it
have to end? Where's the rule that, oh, okay, celebration
has to end after a day, a week, a month.
There is no such rules. So we're going to continue
that celebration, turn the joy into more and more victories.
So lots of good news I want to pass along
to you very shortly. We're waiting on the next big
batch of votes in the Gabe Evans race in CD eight,
(00:43):
and emy, what are we? What are we in the
third world or something? We're two days later and we
can't get the votes counted in Colorado? What's what's going
on there? Does not sound like gold standard to me.
Let's go to the VIP line. Welcome another conquering hero,
Jeff Heard to The Dan Caplis Show. And Jeff won
a tough race in CD three Jeff, it's all tough
(01:03):
when your opponent like has this printing press and can
just print money, and what do we need to add
another couple of million? Okay, so you were up against
this money machine and the press, much of the press
glorifying your opponent is something he's not, and you beat
him anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That's right, Dan.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
First, it's great to be with you. Happy to help
you continue in that celebration. Yes, I'm also keeping my
fingers cut across for gate Evans. Oh yeah, but yes,
what I told voters when I was on the campaign
trail is yes, my opponent has the money, but we
have the people, and dollars don't vote. People vote, and
I think we saw that on Tuesday, and I'm thrilled
with the results and looking forward to serving my district.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Well, God love you. I mean, first, you're going to
serve real well because you know you're built that way.
But second, that seat is going to be so important
to the majority, right because I think it matters a
whole lot if the majority's five instead of four, or
seven instead of three. So I think your seat is
really important.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
We need every seat we can get in the House,
particularly with President Trump in the White House, Republican Senate.
The more seats the better in the House. If we're
going to advance agenda that helps not only rural Colorado
in my district, but our entire state in our country.
So yeah, we'll keep our fingers crossed that that majority grows,
including with jab Evans and Jeff Ford.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Let me ask you this question. Okay, so you go in,
you're moving into your office in the Capitol, and then
all of a sudden, there's this there's this little genie
in a bottle on your desk, you know, and you
rub it, pops out, says, okay, get you get one thing, Jeff.
You can accomplish one thing in your whole congressional career.
(02:40):
Guaranteed won't be the only thing you accomplished, but this
one's guaranteed. What's it going to be? How do you
answer the genie?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Secure the border that's vital to the good title of
our country. Yeah, and we need to do everything we
can to secure our southern border. And it's an economic issue,
it's a national security issue with a humanity issue as well.
So that's something that we promised the voters as Republicans
we're going to do. We got to deliver on it.
So that's what you're going to see as one of
(03:07):
my top priorities in Congress.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And I don't think you'd be the only new congress
person telling the genie that. So, yeah, that's awesome, and
that's what that's I think, you know the number one
thing are tied for number one that the American people
want from Trump want from you guys. So congrats my friend,
and I know it's going to be a great run.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Thanks so much, Dan, so wanted to have your support
and help, and I look forward to talking to you
many more times than the months and years to come.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's going to be a great ride. You take care
of thanks, Jeff, take care Dan. That is a Congressman elect.
Jeff heard. And boy, how well did that work out?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Because as I told respectfully Congressman Bobert yesterday that she
had so many and so much big leftist money and
enemies aligned, she was probably going to lose in the third.
So she does the wise thing and gets out of
the third runs in the force, she gets that seat,
and then Jeff Hurd is able to step in and
win a race that like would have been lost, and
(04:02):
the country comes out ahead, So cool thing to see
eight five five for zero five eight two five five
The number text d A N five seven seven three
nine is to go back to our jammed lines. Yeah,
I'm keeping an eye on this next batch of votes.
It's supposed to come in the CD eight race and
about two thousand vote difference. Now Gave needs to make
up about two thousand votes, So I'll let you know
(04:23):
as soon as that batch comes in. And one thing
I just want to point out, though, it's a bigger
story than the headlines are giving a credit for. Today,
President Trump names his chief of staff. It's Susie Wiles.
Really important for two big reasons. One is it's it
isn't going to be a freak show there this time around.
(04:45):
You're not going to have Amoroso wandering into the Oval office.
You're not gonna have Scaramoucci or any of those people.
I think I told you the story. I was out
in DC to cover something and I'm staying over at
the Trump Hotel and I'm in the restaurant. I'm having
something to eat. Now you're this motion downstairs, this guy
screaming in his cell phone and it's Scaramucci. And this
is while he was in the administration, I thought, this
(05:06):
guy is truly whack. So with Susie Wiles around and
the lessons learned from the first term, I think you're
going to see such a high quality group surrounding Trump,
the kind of group he really deserves and needs. The
other thing is she's the first female chief of staff
ever in the history of America. And it just points
out the phoniness of the left. Right. They're so enlightened,
(05:30):
there's so much better than we are because they really
care about women, they really care about people of color. Yeah,
show it. Okay, So where is your female chief of staff,
Barack Obama or your female chief of staff Bill Clinton
or Joe Biden. Yeah? Yeah, certainly not in the White House. Yeah,
(05:50):
And same thing in Colorado. You get the same kind
of look down the nose that the rest of us
preaching from these phonies on the left. And who holds
all the top jobs except secretaries state? Hey, yeah, governor's
job mere denver US Senate, both US Senate seats. Oh yeah,
white guys, and listen, I think you've got to be
judged by that, As doctor King said, the content of
(06:12):
your character, not the color of your skin, but come on,
you're telling me on the left you couldn't find any
qualified people other than white guys for those jobs. No
the left or phonies. Let's get back to the phone lines.
Let's go up to Ray and Johnstown. Love Johnstown. You're
on the Dane Kapla Show. Welcome Ray, Thanks Dan.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
My questions more just about I guess speculation on what
could have happened or what will happen with this Popular
Vote compact that I think we voted into law and
it took effect earlier this year, so most of the
states that come all at one. If Trump obviously continues
to hold the popular vote, all of those electoral votes
(06:55):
will go to him. If I understand that.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh I wish that was true, Ray, because I'd love
to see color Out have to cast its votes for Trump.
But now they've got to get a certain number of
states to sign on before it becomes effective. And I
don't think they've done that yet.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Okay, I'd be interested.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I haven't heard anybody talk about it. Look at it.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I did.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I thought it was I feel like they have I did,
and I was so disappointed because I was so excited.
You know, Colorado have to cast Now they need more
states to sign on.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
First more states, Well, yeah, it just tells them the
folly of their ways.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Right and then amen to that? Yeah, yeah, so much.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm happy for the country, so.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, absolutely, and hey, don't stop celebrating. And I mean
that literally, It's important to keep this celebration going for
years and then just take that energy and use it
to win more races. Junior in Highlands Ranch. Everybody named
Junior is like six eight three point fifty and can
pick up a bus. Junior, how you doing.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
I'm doing great. I haven't talked to you guys in
a while. Yeah, Michael, how you been?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I am living the dream, my friend. How about you.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Still doing a happy dance every day Tuesday night?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Don't stop, don't stop, and less celebration.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Let's see if I can get this question in before
your break. I'm what I'm concerned about, is President Trump
and all those teams going to have all these great
ideas and I wonder maybe you and Lion can give
me your comment if he's going to have any resistance
from this deep state and how he's going to solve
that so he can get all of these policies fixed
(08:38):
that we've been in this best for the last three
and a half years. So that's all I have to say,
and have a great holiday. If I don't talk to you.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Too, Thank you. Appreciate the call. Appreciate the call. And
you are one hundred percent correct that there's going to
be every kind of resistance that that the left can
can mount. And that resistance, I mean, shoot, you think
Aron's going to stop trying to kill him. No, Aron's
going to keep trying to kill him. And then on
(09:07):
the left politically, you're going to have every kind of
resistance they can mount. But one of the reasons I'm
so encouraged now is look at what Trump is overcome.
And I understand we're all human. We all have our
plus and minus column. He's not perfect, and when he's imperfect,
like everything in his life, it tends to be bigger
and bolder. But the plus column is so vast, and
(09:28):
you look at everything he's overcome to achieve that. I'm
sitting here right now thinking he's going to be able
to overcome anything they throw at him. You've obviously got
to keep him safe. Interesting peace today in the New
York Times talking about how down the stretch, you know,
how you'd see Trump Force One like circling an event.
According to New York Times, often Trump wasn't on Trump
(09:48):
Force one. They were flying Trump in separately on an
unmarked plane. So got to keep him safe. But in
terms of political resistance, and it's foreign enemies that I'm
worried about there, starting with Iran and others acting on
Iran's behalf. But beyond that, politically, yeah, I think he
can handle anything. The demoster atom, I mean, really, what's left, right,
(10:11):
I mean, what more can they try to throw at him?
And that's why he is so perfectly poised now for
a great run. The other biggest thing is and I know,
we got to pop this break then I'll come back
to everybody else is yeah, I understand, and thank god
literally Dave McCormick one, it's another example of life conquering death.
Dave McCormick, Pro life in Pennsylvania, the ultimate swing state,
(10:34):
defeats a pro abortion casey, So that that is a
beautiful thing to be hold. So now you get to
fifty four in the Senate. He needs sixty for the
really really big stuff. But Trump has so much political
capital now, he did so well in so many blue
states for the certain right big bills. He's got a
real chance to flip enough Democrat senators to be able
(10:56):
to put that together. So so many reasons to be optimistic.
What lessons from Tuesday's Orange crush can we take to
Colorado to win here? That next on The Dan Kapla.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Show, and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Never in our lifetimes have we been so perfectly positioned,
no guarantees right, life happens, but so perfectly positioned for
a long, transformative run of conservative governance with really exciting, talented,
inspiring people in charge. It just sets up perfectly because
obviously you've got Trump with more political capital coming in
(11:37):
office than any president in my lifetime. You've got Trump
coming in He's proven before he can have a great presidency.
He knows even better now what he has to do
great choice today with this Susie Wiles now being his
chief of staff, and you're gonna have a much more
disciplined White House. You're not gonna have the freak show
you sometimes had before. And then it is understood, it's
(12:01):
not even implicit, because this is his last term, You're
going to have this gradual, empowering, enabling passing of the
torch to JD. Vans and to other great conservative talent
out there. And the bottom line is this stuff works.
I mean, I was a Democrat for years, and you know,
(12:21):
after I became a Republican, I became a Republican initially
very reluctantly over the life issue. But once I got
into the party and I started going to these events
and meeting these people and paying more attention to policy,
I realized that that a the people in the Republican
Party are really cool and deeply care about people of
(12:41):
color and people are disadvantaged. They want equal opportunity for everybody,
and I never would have believed that before I became
a Republican. Second, the stuff works. And that's my point
is this stuff works. It was working in Trump's first term.
If COVID had knocked him out of a second term,
then then you know, we probably would have been on
this run right now. But it just sets up perfectly
(13:03):
for that. And what America has just shown is it's
not all tied up in red and blue. And if
if the blue ain't working, it'll go to red, and
then if the red keeps working, it's going to stay red.
Rick In Denver. You're on the Dan Capitol Show. So
what lessons do we take from Tuesday night and apply
now in Colorado so we can start winning here? Hey, Rick,
(13:24):
what are you thinking?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, you were talking to a guy there in Nebraska,
and you know that's what they're trying to turn Nebraska
into another Colorado.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
How are you going to do that?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Hey? That deal in in Omaha they're tryingly did a.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
US seat a US Senate seat?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I thought somebody said that. Or they're trying to get
a new district.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, what they did. As you know Nebraska now,
electoral college votes go by congressional districts.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
So she vote there?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Oh well, Kamala Herris one. I think it's c D
two in Nebraska. She won that overwhelmingly that Omaha area.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah. Yeah, that's the next thing they're working on. Now.
That'd be like they'd lecture these farmers that Kim hoped
to be. Uh it's sexual politics, man.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I think if they can turn Nebraska blue, I just
got to take my hat to because I don't see
any way, given the ethic of Nebraska, they vote, yeah,
let me look it up, give me one second. But
given the ethic of Nebraska. I don't see any way.
I mean, look at Colorado, my friend, look at Colorado.
We're not that far away. We're in the average race.
(14:33):
John Kellner, who was a great candidate, everything came within
eight or nine and the ages raised. Trump was about
ten or eleven behind. We're not that far away.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, I hope we get back to being read well.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And all I'm saying is you look at Colorado and
all the advantages the left has here in Colorado right now,
and we're not that far away. So the state of Nebraska,
no way they're going to be able to turn that blue.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
So what was the Nebraska vote?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, oh yeah yeah, but here
I'm trying to pull up the exact numbers for you.
It's one thing I was not prepared for today, is
what the vote was in Nebraska.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Oh there, he worked pretty well as they expected.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, yeah, no, she did.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Man, I know, I'm using a vague word. They Yeah,
they're just regular people trying to get along. And I
don't have anything against them, but they're getting carried away
with the sexual politics. Well, and they're trying to appeal
a lot of the lonely run up from a farming background.
You know, people get lonely.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But what do you mean by sexual politics.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Well, there's a big you know, the age were really
I mean, I respect them, but they're trying to I
believe coming at nebraska's all the sexual politics.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah, and I'm just pulling up the numbers. I'm still
not sure I'm tracking, my friend, but the outcoming Nebraska
was wow. Yeah, I'm finding a hard time, having a
hard time, pardon me finding the exact numbers. I'll pull
those for you.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Well, okay, you could go.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Over any one dig excepting.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The Chicago Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, but remember Division Street, I do.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
That's what their.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Development in the Braska.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
They're going to have their version of it. Buddy.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So, my friend, you're thinking that the left is going
to be able to turn Nebraska like majority gay.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I just think that that's it's a way to gain them.
There's a lot of people who have traveled. I don't know,
I say too much, and I don't have to get
any against them. It's just that the regular, the old
time farmers, people who are still connected through their heritage,
is being trounced on here in the country and the
Upper Midwest. Is they really back in the eighteen seventies
(16:43):
really brought the investment capital to this country when they
couldn't get capital for factories and mines in its history
to the Panic of seventy three. And so these are
the sentence of the Granger farmers.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, well, Jack, I really do appreciate that. I'm sorry,
my friend, and I really do appreciate the call. Sorry
I called you Jack, though that's not an insult, right,
Jack's just our next caller. But got to tell you,
one of the beautiful things about the GOP right now
is the way it's expanding that coalition. And I think
there were an awful lot of gay people who voted
for Trump and other GOP candidates, and I think that's fantastic.
(17:20):
I think that's a tremendous thing. But I don't see
Nebraska going blue under any circumstances. In fact, look at
the trend in America, and that's one of the big
things we saw on Tuesday night, so much more red.
Now when we come back, as we talked about, Okay, Colorado,
how do we apply the lessons and win here. There's
a pretty good argument to be made that that was
(17:42):
an enormous Trump victory on Tuesday night, rather than an
enormous GOP victory. And I understand there were plenty good
GOP candidates who did a good job, and Dave McCormick
crant is such a brilliant Senate race in Pennsylvania, but
he wasn't going to win unless Trump romped in Pennsylvania.
So I think it's important to learn the lessons of
(18:04):
how we can win here in Colorado. I think it's
important to also be clear eyed about what really happened
Tuesday night. And while a lot more people voted Republican,
a big driver, there was Trump and so okay, then
how do we keep those people around when the president
finishes a second tremendous term here on the Dan Capla.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
Show, you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
What lessons do we learn from the Trump victory on
Tuesday night that we can apply to Colorado to win here?
I think there are some very concrete lessons. Anxious to
get your take, eight five five for zero five A
two to five five the number tags DA N five
seven seven three nine, I'll throw one out there to
get it started. And that is clearly and we'd been
talking about it on air. It was confirmed in a
(18:55):
New York Times behind the scenes piece today that the
Trump add that featured Kamala Harrison her own words saying
she was leading the charge to have taxpayer funded sex
change surgeries for prisoners, that was the most effective ad
they'd ever seen. For obvious reasons. Right, First, that's just lunacy.
But second, it just exposes how foolish and insane that
(19:19):
this whole business is. How did we ever get to
the point in America where all of a sudden it
was the holy grail of the left, just bind abortion
worship that oh yeah, no, no, guys get to wander
into girls' bathrooms and showers and take over their sports
as long as the guy says I'm Susie instead of Sam.
I mean that, truly is just lunacy. And that's no
disrespect to our brothers and sisters who happened to view
(19:42):
themselves or betrans. No disrespect to them. We're talking about
public policy, and that is insane, upside down public policy,
and America knows it. And suburban moms who usually vote
Democrat know it, and suburban dads who usually vote Democrat
know it. And so when you look at these exit polls,
now and you see how well Trump did with women,
how well he did with suburban women. I will bet
(20:03):
you a lot of it was that issue. And that's
a good lesson for Colorado. And as we had any
of these governor races and Senate races, every one of
those lefty candidates needs to be pinned down. And Okay,
you're telling people right now, you're governor of the state.
You believe that some guy with all those all that,
with the male organ and everything else going on, he
has a right to walk into a woman's shower as
long as he says I'm a woman, that's the person
(20:26):
you want as your governor. I think the GOP needs
to be hammering that issue because it's not just that
issue and has nothing to do with disrespect to trans people.
It has to do with respect for girls and women
and sanity and sensible public policy and safe spaces for
women who deserve those safe spaces and girls who deserve
(20:47):
those safe spaces. So pin them down, Pin them down,
because once they equivocate on that and flop around like
a fish on the shore, then people are going to
know they're whack. And they're being whack goes way beyond
being whack on that issue. Let's go to Jack and Littleton.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show. Welcome Jack, Hey.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Dan, longtime fan.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Been listening to you like twenty years.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Wow, thank you.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
Yeah yeah, back to the summerman days.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I got I've got a question, and I just can't
understand why I want your kind of.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Legal advice on it front from a lawyer stand a
point of view. I mean, been watching the left rail
against Trump. They call him hitler, they accuse of.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Of incited in a wretch, of inciting a insurrection.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
And they.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
The Steele dossier, all these things.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Why doesn't he why.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Doesn't he filed defamation or.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
Libel lawsuits against these people.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And get on the offensive.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Just curious, you're daking.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
No great, great question, my friend. And as you know,
under the New York Times standard, the bar is high.
But there's still a bar. I mean, you you know,
have to you have to prove basically it was intentional
and then they knew that what they were saying was
untrue and they did it anyway. I mean as a
practical matter, that's what you got to be able to do.
But your response, Jack would be, well, yeah, there's a
(22:05):
lot of that out there, and then I think what
what Trump has said to measure is is it worth
his time and money to do that, knowing how high
that bar is. And second, when you do that, you
just call more attention to the defamation to begin with. Now,
I think there's a real positive trend where we're starting
(22:26):
to see some public figures bring and win some defamation
cases and and win some big judgments. I hope we
see that trend continue, not to stifle free speech but
to stifle lies.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Sure, sure, but but for instance, the sildosia that that's.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I mean, that's intentional.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
It was extreme slander and libel. I can't imagine if
somebody if that was me, first thing I would do
is Paul you and lawyer up.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I just don't understand why he was, well, go ahead,
No I did.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Sorry, Jack, I didn't mean to interrupt you. But yeah,
that's that's why I offered on this show in the
last week that I would represent Trump for free you know,
in a case against Jim Acosta and CNN when a
constat went on air and reported that Trump had threatened
to execute Liz Cheney. Total lie and a material lie
and a dangerous lie because you know, you've got people
(23:18):
out there trying to kill Trump, and you know when
you then tell those wackos out there, oh he's going
to execute Liz Cheney. But yes, so that's the case.
I think Trump could bring and win.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
And I do it for free, tell you and kind
of wrapping up here, I'll tell you the difference. I mean,
I woke up post election day most optimistic. I'm forty seven,
six years old, most optimistic I've ever been in my life.
My wife and I were planning on packing up for
four years and just going to Croatia, letting everything kind
of blow by, just living low and conservative. And now
we've decided, Okay, this set's a precedent in the next
(23:54):
ten or twenty years is from this next presidency, and
this next administration.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Could be so good.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
We're we're tripling down and investing everything we got in
the market and property and business as we and you know,
so that's the difference in election will make and everything
we have, every dollar we have. Now, I was going
to go straight into this economy and set up sitting
in a bank and you know, living off the residuals
and overseas and can't wait to see what the next
few years brings and thanks for everything you've done. You've
(24:20):
been almost spot on on all your predictions.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Man, So thank you give us a.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Lot of hope through the uh, through the through the
dark times.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Appreciate it well, Thank you. And your call is I think,
very encouraging and happy just to it's so great to
hear that, Jack, And it's so great to hear that
for lots of different reasons, but it's also great to
hear your voice because I do remember you. I do
remember you from the Capitalists in Silverman days and and
so I'm glad you're back.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
Yeah, yeah, called in a few times.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So glad to glad to still hear you on.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
I listen to you every night. And thanks for everything, buddy.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Thank you, Jack, thank you you take care. Wow, what
a cool call. That is great to hear. And yeah
maybe I was I don't know if it was on
air off air yesterday, but I know I was saying
Ryan that listen. If I had thought Kamala Harris was
going to win, I would have sold almost all my
stocks and Amy and I sat down, we had to
have that talk because truly, if we thought she was
(25:15):
gonna win, and Amy has her own politics. In fact,
she once again left the country for election day. Hint, hint,
we don't agree on President Trump, and so she was
out of the country when he had his victory. I
spent election night. It's just me. I got all my screens,
I got the three dogs. I'm all set up. I
got my Jamano's pizza, and it was just kind of heaven.
(25:38):
And every other day of our it's been thirty years.
Hopefully it'll be sixty of marriage. I hope we spend together.
But election night, it's okay to have a little space.
We had a continent or two's worth the space. But
it worked out well for both of us. Eight five
five for zero five A two five five the number
text d A N five seven seven thirty nine text
(25:58):
Dan respectfully disagree. When the country is read and things
are going great, that's when a lot of blue voters
say we can afford to quote do more and drag
us backwards texture obviously referring to, hey, we got to
get our debt and everything else under control. Listen, President
Trump was very open with the voters, and his approach
is the way we're going to have economic stability and
(26:22):
control our deficits. Is going to be through growth. So yeah,
I mean, we should not be sitting here expecting massive
cost cutting from Trump.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I'm really glad he's going to have Musk involved, Elon Musk,
and that's going to be his big thing, and that's
going to be so much fun to see. I hope
that Musk is involved in lots of ways. But Trump's
plan is to grow the economy so big. That's how
we get the deficits under control. And I think it
was off to a pretty good start last time.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
When the Dems start obstructing, Trump needs to do a
press conference and call them out by name right away,
stating this, whatever the issue may be, is what the
American people want. Put the pressure on him. Boy, I'll
tell you, I don't think there's any doubt that we're
going to see that from him. This is the hardest
earned political capital we've ever seen. Right that tried to
put him in jail. Some people, I'm not assigning them
(27:13):
to a political to the left, but some people tried
to kill him. But it was the left that tried
to do what a lot of people would view his
worse than deaths, you know, tried to put him in
jail and end his life that way. And Trump overcame
all of that to win. No, he knows the play
and win big. He knows the political capital he has,
so you bet he is. He's going to be out
(27:35):
there using it. And I think he's going to be
able to get a lot of Dems on board when
he has big votes, because he did so well in
so many blue states and they're going to want to
keep their jobs. Dan Trump point eighty percent of America's
thirty one hundred counties. Yeah, and there are so many
numbers that jump off the page. How about this one
percentage of Americans willing to identify as Democrats to exit pollsters,
(27:59):
thirty two percentage of Americans who trusted Trump more on
abortion than Harris forty five percent, which just goes to
my point. The Democrats aborted themselves in this race. They
were such worshipers of taking inness in human life before birth,
right up to the moment of delivery. They worshiped it,
they dwelled on it, they spent their time on it,
(28:21):
they celebrated it, and every minute they spent doing that
first was kind of a little ghoulish and creepy to
a lot of people. But second was a minute they
weren't spending talking about what people were really going to
vote on, and so they aborted themselves. The other thing
they ran into was the Dobs majority was right, turn
it over to the people. It'll sort itself out. And
a lot of voters figured out, you know what, voters
(28:43):
who identify as pro choice, Hey, I can vote for
this Republican who I know is going to be a
better president on everything else, or governor or senator, and
then I can vote my pro choice views on these
ballot measures. So you know, Kamala Harris is trying to
win it on abortion. Certainly in the Blue Wall state.
She probably lost it on abortion here on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
But Ryan is just, yeah, it's impossible standard to follow
when it comes to the bumper music. Glad you're here.
Celebration continues, it should continue for at least the next
four years. Turn the joy into victory. Speaking of which,
this critical race since c D eight that we've talked
so much about on this show, Gabe Evans tremendous candidate
against Jadiro Caravaio latest votes and by the way, it's
(29:41):
Thursday late on a Thursday, Any conceivable reason we don't
have all the votes counted yet two days later, any
conceivable reason. I thought this was the gold standard, right,
and listen, I think elections in Colorado are reliable and
overall clean. But i' beviously there's stuff that needs to
be cleaned up. But to say this is the gold standard,
(30:03):
how can it be the gold standard when we're sitting
here on Thursday afternoon and one of the most important
congressional races in the country can't be called yet reportedly
tens of thousands of votes not yet counted. I think
that's a different kind of standard. Okay, what do we
have now? We just got a few thousand more votes
(30:23):
in Yudiro Caraveo forty eight point eight nine percent gave
Evans forty eight point four five percent, So that's about
a one thousand vote difference. And I'll keep watching it.
We just got, you know, another few thousand votes in,
but I'll keep watching it and we'll get you what
(30:43):
we can as soon as it comes in, so hopefully
that'll be this year. KIT five five or zero five
A two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. If you just joined us. A few
key highlights from the day. One is President Trump pointing
Susie Wild naming Susie Wiles as is chief of staff,
(31:04):
enormously important for lots of reasons, and starting with the
fact that I've never met her, but by all accounts,
she's fantastic at this, which means you're not gonna have
a freak show. You're not gonna have Amrosa wandering through
the West Wing, You're not gonna have Scaramucci, You're not
gonna have clowns like that, right and so, and we've
seen that best run campaign he's had, and so that's
(31:26):
very encouraging for the next term. Also an interesting point
that she happens to be a woman, you know, the
first female chief of staff in American history, which just
helps point out how phony the left is, right, all
holier than now you know Barack Obama and Bill Clinton
and Joe Biden, you know, where was their female chief
of staff? But Donald Trump has one same thing in Colorado, right,
(31:49):
all the big enlightened equity for all you know, Jared
Polis and Bennett and Hick and Luprin Johnston. Wait a second,
I mean I'm a big content of character not color
skin guy, But all those people are white, and the
left preaches to be so DEI, well, you're telling me
you couldn't find highly qualified women, highly qualified people of
(32:12):
color on the left to be governor or US senators, etc.
I think that's what the left in Colorado's telling us
because they're all white. And remember there was this great
I mean, I disagree with her own policy on everything,
but a very very talented, very very competent treasurer Kirie Kennedy.
She was on track to be governor in Colorado, and
(32:33):
Polish squashed her, just took out a big old money
bag and squashed her like a bug. So yeah, that's
how enlightened he is. So yeah, they're all just phonies.
But Trump I like seeing that appointment on multiple levels.
Some of the other cool data coming out of election
day now, and then the big question, Okay, how do
we turn those lessons into wins? In Colorado? What percentage
(32:54):
of Americans at least told exit polars that they Trump
trust Trump on abortion more than Harris What number flashes
into your mind? Fort across America, forty percent told pollsters
they trust Trump on abortion more than Harris. No, and
what percentage of Americans identified to exit pollsters that they
(33:20):
were Democrat thirty two percent, just thirty two percent of
people were willing to say they were Democrats. So how
do we take those lessons and win here? We better
figure it out quick because guess what, you know, the
governor's race is on that is an open seat right now,
and that governor's races on. Jenna Griswold would already be
in it if if if the GOP hadn't found out
(33:40):
that she posted those six hundred passwords online because she
wasn't telling the clerks. And yeah, so that's probably delayed
her entry a bit. I think the left is trying
to squash her right now with that, and I think
that in part explains why it's received so much attention
from some of the press that seems very very aligned
(34:00):
with the left. And then yeah, and then the US
Senate race, And an interesting thing to watch in the
Colorado US Senate race is going to be does Polish
try to force Hickenlooper out because now right with Trump winning,
Polis has nowhere to go, there's no Harris administration to
go into, and d he's term limited. And hicken Looper
(34:22):
said over the summer. I think to try to keep
Polus at bay. That he Hick and Looper was going
to serve another term. So does Hick and Looper now,
you know, face a challenge from Poulis. It's going to
be a lot of interesting things to watch, but let's
keep celebrating this. Figure out how to turn it into
wins in Colorado, wins nationally for a long time. Zach,
