Donald Trump's picks for administration posts feature one hit after another, as he seems to have a better handle on who to bring in - and perhaps more importantly, who to leave out - for his second term as President.

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. Celebration continue four
oh six.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Glad you are here, and there are so many reasons
to continue to celebrate, and I expect we'll be opening
every show that way for years to come. Eight five
five or zero five at two five to five the
number text d an five seven seven three nine. Sitting
here right now, I think the way things are shaping up,
this could well be. This could well be the most
(00:41):
successful presidency.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Of my young lifetime.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
At least I do think all the ingredients are there
for it, including the opportunity. But when have we had
this situation where we've had a guy who served as
president and then he learned on the job still at
I think a spectaculer first term, and then had the
four years off, you know, to think about think about
(01:06):
the good stuff, think about the mistakes, think about what
he'd do differently next time, was put through hell in
the meantime, and then won that second term, won that
second term.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know the old expression.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Decades and days that a key to life is to
make decades worth of progress in days. I think what
we're seeing with President Trump, just from how he's done
so far in this transition, is that he learned so
much that we're going to see a second term that
that's probably two, three, four times as good as most
(01:39):
second terms normally are, because of everything he learned in
the first term and the time he had to think
about it and play it in between. Because clearly now
you know, we didn't pay much attention to it at
the time. We were so concerned about winning the race.
But but you know, you saw these reports about privately
funded transition team in place, So I don't know who
(01:59):
pay the bill on that. Maybe it was Elin. I'm
so glad Musk is involved in all of this. You
can't get enough of these smart people who have the
right principles. But anyway, you know, you can see this
transition team has had its head on straight. No more
freak shows, right Ryan, I mean, we're not going to
see Ameurosa Scaramucci run around the White House or anything
(02:20):
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, it's interesting you bring that up because I had
that conversation rather blunt one, and she was on the
same page as I was with Representative Lauren Bilbert and saying,
you and I have talked about this. It's the one
really point of contention I would have with Trump. In
his first terms, he appointed like Rex Tellerson, you go
down the list and Bolton, all these neo cons and
people that were not pulling in the same direction as him.
(02:41):
We're not on board with his agenda, but they were
supposed to show him the ropes in Washington, right because
he didn't know what he was getting into. Well, now
that he does, you're seeing that reflected, I think in
his appointees.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
And I'm much happier with him this time around.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oh heck yess.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And I think what we see is listen, he knows
it's like Alexander Hamilton. For those who's seen the movie
or the play Hamilton, you know, why does he write
like he's running out of time? I mean, I mean
with Trump, you can see he's in such a hurry
now because he knows that he has so little time
to accomplish everything he wants to. He's making the most
(03:15):
of every day. But he's making all of these really
smart moves I'm not saying that you can't look at
this job and say, oh, that Gal would have been
better for this job. I'm just saying that across the board,
what you see is real quality, and real quality that
is either obviously consistent with his worldview and approach, or
(03:37):
people who you can be sure have agreed that when
they disagree, they're going to do a Trump's way. John
Ratcliffe just announced as his pick for CIA director. And again,
I don't claim to be a John Ratcliffe collegist or anything,
but you can I know who he is, and you
can see by reviewing his CV he's a really serious,
(03:58):
experienced guy, currently co chair at the Center for American
Security at the American First Policy Institute, and that is
a you know, those are serious folks here, and this
guy has a real impressive background.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But across the board you can see Trump is serious
about winning, about being great, and about doing it in
hurry because listen, he can obviously do math, and he
knows that come the midterms, come the midterms after that
president's are normally quote lame duck.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Now, Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Just the way he's wired, right, He's never going to
be any kind of traditional lame duck. But there are
probably going to be some people in his cabinet unless
he made it a condition of joining to say no,
who are going to be looking at running for president themselves.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So he's got this this.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Big two year window and he's in a hurry, and
he's making a lot of well thought out, good moves
right now.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
The other you know, key part of that cocktail, right
if you want to be historically great president is you
have to have the opportunity to be a historically great president.
And he has those opportunities right in front of him
because of how bad the group in front.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Of him was.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And this isn't blue redhead stuff, but obviously we all
know it left the border open, wide open border, all
the problems that come with that, the world on fire
because of Biden's weakness, all that stuff. That's stuff. Trump
has a real chance to fix an area, I mean
the border. He's going to fix day one, right, So
right out of the gate he gets a big w
and then you're going to see these very high profile
(05:30):
rounds up and deportations of criminal illegals, those here who
have committed other serious crimes.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You're going to see that happening.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You are going to see a peace deal done in Ukraine,
which is going to be a major coup Ryan.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You think they'll give him the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, I don't know if they'll give him the Nobel
Peace Prize just because it's him and so many people
wrongfully persecute him.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But you're going to see peace in Russia.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And then we can talk about more on the domestic
front as well about Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
He proved it the first term.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He understands how the economy works, and he understands what
it takes to get businesses revved up, creating jobs, growing
the economy, et cetera. And so no matter how he
gets there, and you can debate terrorists versus non tariff
versus is this kind of tariff and that kind of
tariff mix with blah blah, I just have confidence this
(06:22):
guy knows how to succeed.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
On the economic front, and we've seen him do it before.
So table set. I think, for truly maybe the single most.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Effective presidential term of at least my lifetime eight five
to five for zero five eight two five five takes
da N five seven seven three nine. I am anxious
to hear about whether anybody else concerns about Marco Rubio
as Secretary of State. I think it's brilliant. He would
have been my first choice. I think he should have
been Trump's first choice. It has not yet been confirmed,
(06:53):
is that right, Ryan. We have not seen a formal
announcement of confirmation, and I know there's some pushback on it,
But somewhere in this conversation today, I'd love to hear
from you on that on Marco Rubio, because listen, I
get it that a big part of Trump's appeal, and
it's a big part of his appeal to me, is
no unnecessary wars, you know, no endless wars, and then
(07:17):
some people take it the next step to no more wars.
And Trump was historically great at that in the first term.
But I think that some people are concerned about the
Rubio pick when they really shouldn't be. And they're concerned
because Rubio is a quote hawk. Wait a second, Trump
understands he proved it in the first term. Trump is
not a pacifist. Trump is a peace maker. There's a
(07:43):
big difference. Trump wants peace the last thing Trump wants
his war, and Trump understands he proved it that if
you want peace, you have to prove you're ready to
go to war and win.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's how you get peace. Trump did not.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Trump did not keep our country out of wars by retreating.
Trump kept our country out of wars by causing the
enemy to retreat because they knew they were gonna get
crushed if they messed with them. It's a very personal thing,
obviously as a benefit of the greatest military in the
history of the world. But Trump killed Solomoni, right, that
(08:20):
was a very personal thing. And Trump knew it was
going to put the target on his back, in the
backs of his family, but he did it to protect
our country and our troops. Trump killed Solomoni. Trump killed
out bag daddy. You didn't see Putin, who I view
as Satan n on Earths going into Ukraine when Trump
was there. So those who say, oh, no, Marco Rubio,
he's too much of a hawk. No, you want to
(08:41):
avoid war. You want peace. You want a strong guy
like Marco Rubio in that job.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
And you know he's going to.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Take the orders from Trump. But you want a strong
guy like that in that job. So anyway, I want
to kick that around with you get your thoughts eight
five five four zero five eight two five five takes
DA N five seven seven thirty nine, and I really
want a deep dive. There's so called investigation of the
Colorado Secretary of State that's announced by the Denver DA
(09:09):
and why I don't think this is enough. You're on
the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Great poll, and that's the mode Trump's in right now,
right and I mean, there's so much winning to be
done in so little time relatively, so it's great to
see him off to this fast start. And we'll start
fast with Mary and Denver. You're on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Welcome Mary.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Hi.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
I just have a question about Tom Homan being the
Borders are, which I have no problem with, except I
read fourteen forty every day and they said he was
part of the authors of Project twenty twenty five. So
I thought President Trump was trying to disassociate himself with that.
So that concerns me a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You know, I was looking for a great prank on
election night, you know, like Trump coming out.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And the first thing he says from.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
The victory party is, uh, can't wait for Project twenty
twenty five. Kidding you know, Mary, your call is is
so important because Ryan and I were just talking about
it during the break. You can name any of his
picks or any of his potential picks, and all of
us will be able to find something we disagree with
with any of them.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And so I.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Really hope that that we don't get too caught up
in that, because they none of us are perfect, but
be I just think you need to look at the
totality of the pick. And I mean, Holman, it's like
he comes out of Central Casting for that job, right,
It's like he was put on this earth to do that.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I agree with his ability. But when I'm trying to
get people to vote for Trump and explain and all
they throw back at me is Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Well, he says he has nothing, sister bit.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
And then mister Homan is part of with one of
the authors or are contributed. I'm just like, wow, that
concerns me.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
But sister Mary, it shouldn't at all.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And here's why, because all that matters now, and it's
why Trump won despite all this bogus twenty twenty five
and other stuff they threw it him. The guy had
four years in office, we didn't have to guess. People
knew what he did and what he didn't do. He
wasn't Hitler, he wasn't Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Same thing. Now, I bet you.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Nobody after you today, Mary, Nobody talks about Project twenty
twenty five. All they're looking at is what the guy
does or doesn't do. And Mary, if you want to
if you want to round up all of those folks
here illegally who have committed other serious crime. If Mary,
you want a round up criminally legals, can you think
of anybody better than Tom Holman to do that?
Speaker 6 (11:42):
No? But that's just the whole thing, is I just
it's just it's bad. In my I have been a
good supporter of President Trump, not my favorite person in
the world, but I advocated for him. I thurrogated for
him because I knew he would be best for the job.
But I just this Project twenty twelve five really scares
me because now it seems like we're not that I
(12:04):
am not credible because I kept saying, he says he
has nothing to do with what are what are.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Your friends concerned with?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Say Project twenty twenty five, that you're afraid he might
do that would surprise them.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
I'm not so. I don't think he'll do any of it, right, right.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
So aren't your friends going.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
To be It's not all over Facebook and this is
what he's gonna do. This is what he said. Well,
this is what Project twenty twenty five is. So there
you go.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
That's told you.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I just don't understand why your friends would be concerned
about that. I assume that your friends will be very
pleased that criminals are rounded up and sent out of
this country. Isn't that what's going to matter to him?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
No, I think what matters to them is that they
believe in immigration and that these people are oh tired, hungry,
and lonely and they need to be here.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Okay, well, yeah, your friend, your friends are never going
to like Trump then, because he ran he ran on
not rounding up every person illegally who's been in this
country for ten or fifteen years and now is a
job and as a productive citizen. He never ran on
rounding them up. He ran on rounding up criminally legals,
getting them out of the country immediately, and closing the
(13:09):
border immediately. So if your friends don't like that, then
they were never going to vote for him anyway.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Oh, no, I know they weren't going to vote for him.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You know that's not a Oh you're concerned about them taunting,
you say, and see he lied about Projects twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I don't care about them talk.
Speaker 8 (13:25):
I said.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
He has nothing to do with Project twenty twenty five.
And now perhaps he's associating himself with people who do well.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
He's going to be in every pick Mary, He's going
to be associated himself with people who disagreed with him
on something.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Heck. JD.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Vance called him all the worst things on the face
of the earth before he picked him as VP.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Yeah, and I love me from Jdvan I do too,
So I do too them closely.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah. So you know, don't let the perfect be the
enemy of the great right, I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, have your friends call me.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We'd love to talk to Okay, thank you, I appreciate
the call.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I may offer Mary some consolation. And all of this
Project twenty twenty five was always a canard from the
left because they couldn't make anything else stick to Donald Trump.
It's like them calling him hitler. It's like them calling
him a fascist. And this notion that Project twenty twenty
five is like some mindcolm for something is ridiculous. Have
they actually read it? Have these people actually read anything
(14:22):
in it?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Now?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Donald Trump has said repeatedly, and I believe it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I didn't read it.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I don't want to read it, and then I can't
be assumed or accused of acknowledging anything in it. And
just because he appoints somebody who had some dovetail connection
to Project twenty twenty five, he might reappoint ben Carson
to HUD or another similar department. Dan ben Carson has
written something for Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Let's tell people what it is. Though.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
It's the Heritage Foundation, which is a lobbying arm. It's
no different than any lobbying group on either side of
the aisle that's pitching an idea that they would like
for the country. It may or may not be implemented
in whole or in part, and probably not at all
by Donald Trump, who's going to run on his own agenda.
He was elected to a mandate based on his agenda.
(15:09):
Project twenty twenty five had nothing to do with it.
They were grasping its straws. It's ridiculous, and don't even
pay them any mind, Mary, I.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Agree with that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Hey, I wanted to talk about something else here, and
that is this headline, Denver DA launches investigation into voter
security system passwords breach by Secretary of State's office. This
is a Denver Post headline. And I'm here to tell
you that we need a much much bigger, much much
better investigation of what happened than this for lots of
(15:43):
different reasons.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I mean, it is critical that the people of this
state have confidence in our election system. Jenna Griswold undermines
that confidence through her hyperpartisanship even before these six hundred
passwords went online and then reportedly she made a conscious
decision not to tell the clerks, so that there is justifiable,
(16:05):
widespread lack of confidence right now in that office because
of her. That doesn't mean that any votes were stolen
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
It doesn't mean that at all.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But it means that we need a thorough investigation to
get to the bottom of this. And who in the
right mind would trust an investigation done by a political
ally at Denver DA Beth McCann. Now that's not an
indictment of McCann's integrity, not at all. The issue is
appearances and public confidence in our election integrity. And obviously,
(16:42):
if Beth McCann or Phil Wiser, or Jenna Griswold, any
of these people really cared about election integrity, they would
want a full bore, independent investigation by an independent prosecutor
so the public could have confidence that these leaked passwords
didn't lead to any kind of abuse, and the public
(17:03):
would have confidence in the eventual explanation for how they
got leaked and why Jenna Griswold didn't tell the clerks.
But to have somebody from the same political party. Now,
I got a text from somebody I really trust, I
haven't had time to verify it saying that Beth McCann
donated money to Jenna Griswold's campaign. So right off the bat,
(17:23):
that should be a disqualifier. I'm not saying a technical
legal disqualifier, but one where anybody who truly cares about
public confidence and election integrity would say, you know, I'm
not the right one to do this investigation. A.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
It needs to be somebody from the other party.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It needs it just so there's no appearance of any
kind of political favoritism or gamesmanship. And B it needs
to be somebody of great stature. Mccan's on her way out,
and McCann's widely known as a lefty, criminal friendly DA.
And by the way, if you read the Denver Post story,
it starts with some vote from the DA's office. Oh,
(18:02):
here it is from Beth mccannon. I can't say what
we might learn during the investigation related to involvement of
any members of the office, but at this point, we
have not discovered evidence of criminal activity. I've never suggested
there was criminal activity. But why would a DA, why
would that be the first thing you say? Oh, public,
you got to know. I can't tell you what we
have found, but we haven't found any criminal activity. It's
(18:24):
just smacks of that kind of political favoritism. So I
think what we're seeing right now from Polus on down
is proof that these people really don't care about election integrity.
They are the insider threat to confidence in the system.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
So when I'm gonna say, well, we're going to say
we told you so, We told you a dentity was disaster,
we told you to get out in front of public
safety issues.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
You didn't. You didn't. We told you to have.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
An open process and demonstrate the magnificent and staggering and
deep talent that existed them on Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
You didn't like. We told you to differentiate yourself a Biden.
You didn't. I hate to be know at all, but.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
All of these things a part of the record.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
See this is so funny to watch, and you know how,
and I've been doing this for years. If I'm trying
to get to sleep and night I'm pretty good sleeper,
I'll pull up twenty sixteen election night results, and now
obviously I'm pulling up twenty twenty four and it just
puts a big smile on my face and I drift
off very peacefully.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
But some nights I'm pulling up Carvel because if.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You just google him up on YouTube, he's doing a
lot of stuff right now, especially because he has a
movie coming out in Netflix movie, and so he's just
going off and he's right and often not always, but
he's right so often about these fatal flaws in the
Democratic Party. But there's no way they're going to fix them.
And one of the big things he zeroed in on
(19:57):
is is just that there a identity politics right, and
how it's just absolutely sinking him and he's so right
about that. And again he's the guy who's been really
successful on the left. Let's go out to beautiful Lakewood, Color.
I don't talk to Brad here on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Welcome.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Yes, thank you for taking my phone call. Yes, I
think Tom Hollman's a good pick. But like the previous caller,
I'm extremely concerned about Project two zero two five. Now
I've read part of it, and part of it is
there's eight categories of the VA. In a good category
seven or eight, they basically want to deny you coverage,
in other words, throw you out of the VA Diamond
(20:35):
category eight. And that extremely concerns me because I've the
VA allowed me to join, they said I met the requirements,
and now we got people like the Heart Rage Foundation.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And I'm so sorry to interrupt my friend, but I
just want to keep my audience.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And you're very compelling.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I hope you call every day, But there aren't five
people on the face of the earth right now who
care about Project twenty twenty five because it's completely irrelevant.
I am assuming that you live a life of nirvana
and and that that's why at this point you're even
reading Project twenty twenty five, because because you need a
(21:12):
little aggravation in your life, right, I mean, why would
you bother? Trump has completely distanced himself from it. There's
no reason to believe he's going down that road. Why
would you let this stress you when there are plenty
of things in life, like the end of that Bronco
game to really stress you.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Oh, I agree, But I just rely on the VA
and I've had pretty good, pretty good luck with him,
and it's just the thought of it. I mean, I agree,
it'll probably never happen. I take Trump at his word,
and I voted for him. I voted very Republican. I'm
glad he won. But uh, I just, I guess, my friend,
alarming to think that people even think like that.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Brad, there's a greater chance that Martians will come down
and snatch you. Then Trump's all of the sudden reversing
courses saying he's a Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I'm not saying he'll never do anything that is in
somewhere in there, but that's not at all his his blueprint.
But appreciate the call, my friend, And again I understand
the stress because when you're reliant on something like the VA,
you know, any threat to that, I get it can
really be scary.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
But now Trump is that's not his blueprint.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
He's made that clear. Let's go to Centennial. Talk to Dan.
You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Welcome.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Hi, Hi, Dann.
Speaker 11 (22:29):
How's it going.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I am still living the dream, my friend.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
I've been calling in I'm about Trump since.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Two thousand seen, and I've been a big fan of his.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
I've been on it the whole time. So this is
like a total celebration. It's like it's like seventeen seventy
six all over again for this country.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Yeah, it's amazing to watch. Now, here's the thing we
have got to as a conservative Republican party. We have
got to start raising money and fundraising and keeping this
message going so come midterm we can pick up more senators.
If we lose any any part of the House and
the Senate, we're going to be stale again. So right
(23:09):
now that emphasis has god to be on maintaining or
gaining Senate and Congress seats. You know, I talked to Fabricatory.
It's going to take over twenty five million dollars to
beat Jason Crowe.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
So so we have to.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
We have to and.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
You probably aren't going to get those kind of contributions
to beat Jason Crowe because the smart money people are
going to assume we cannot be beaten.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I thought John ran an excellent, excellent.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Race, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
But yeah and yeah, mich I Don.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Only had four hundred and fifty million dollars. Well, he
wasn't going to put any here because he thought the
same thing, you can't beat this guy. We have to
find a way to beat these people by one. Trump's
going to prove everything he's the saying is going to
be so beneficial to us. We can't get caught up
with ask whining about anything. It is totally on the
move forward. Well, start pushing sen in our state houses.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Hey, Dan, appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And I think one critical thing to keep in mind,
because you've got to be honest. Whether we like where
that leads us or not, We've got to be honest
in order to succeed, and that is that these these
additional votes that just saved America in this election, these
(24:26):
additional votes were for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
They were not for the GOP.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
This was not a wholesale America suddenly on a dime
decided it likes the GOP.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
A whole lot more.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
This was about Donald Trump, and so we got to
be realistic about that. Now, does it open the door
to the opportunity now to keep enough of these people
to be able to keep winning on a larger level, Yes,
it does, but that the only way to walk through
the door.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Words are meaningless.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It would be almost be better as if we never
spoke another word, because the only way you're going to
keep enough of these people is results.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
And that's what it's gonna take. It's gonna take results.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So yeah, Trump was able to drag a couple of
additional senators across the line, you know, kind of all
boats rows with him. But if anybody really thinks that
all those people are coming back in the midterms, we
know from experience that is not true.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
And so yeah, we've got to take advantage of this moment.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The only way to do it is with results eight
five five or zero five eight two five five the number.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Let me get to some of these great texts.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Dan watching James Carvell just before going to sleep would
absolutely cause horrible nightmares.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
For me.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Sorry about that. I know that's hard to listen to.
Too scary for me. That's from Andy. He's just hilarious.
I mean he's obviously we have polar opposite positions on
most of the big issues, but the guy has won
for the Democrats. He's an entertainer and now he's just
got him on blasts, so I think he's hilarious to watch.
(26:07):
Dan Trump has said he wants to perform taxes in
the US. He wants to get rid of federal income
tax and maybe looking at fair tax as a way
to do that.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
What do you think about that? A good question.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Just haven't studied it, and I will study it if
it looks like there's any realistic chance of it happening.
I don't think that there is. I think Donald Trump's
mo is real clear, right, and that is he wants
to grow this economy. He wants to grow this economy
so large that we're able to start paying down debt.
(26:38):
He wants to grow the economy so large that there's
just this across the board improvement of quality of life
in America, including critically working people, because come on, that's
the sea change, right, All these working people didn't come
to the GOP because they all this sudden decided, Oh yeah,
the GOP is a lot better than I thought it was.
They came for Trump, and now we got to keep
(27:00):
them by delivering really concrete results for working people. But
I don't think it's going to come from some It'll
come from tax cuts in part. That's absolutely rocket fuel
to grow the economy and make everything better for everybody.
But no, I don't see anything radical, any radical structural change,
(27:22):
Dan and Ryan will Tom Holman report directly to President
Trump or to Homeland Security Secretary CHRISTI Nome. No matter
what it says on paper, it's all about Trump, right, Ryan,
what do you think of the Nome pick in our
last twenty second?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Holt a little bit of an outlier. I'm not sure
how I feel about that one. It's the one I
feel least good about. But I don't think it's terrible
at this point. I really really like all the other
picks quite a bit to this point.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And I think the key there is that Trump has
carved out has carved out the deportation effort, and I
think the border and the deportation effort are now going
to be with Homan. So I think Christy Nomes responsibilities
are going to be with the other major parts of
Homeland Security, but it's going to be a significantly more
(28:06):
limited job.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
And now let's get back to there.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
We'll start the next segment with this one, and we
have a lot more ground to cover, including on what
I consider to be this holy inadequate investigation of the
Secretary of State's office and the Secretary of State yourself, Dan,
I applaud Malania turning down Jill's invite to the White
House for tea, and won't spend a lot of time
on it, but it's worth a mention because I agree
(28:30):
with Milania on this as well.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
There's only one thing that will open the door to
voter's hearts. Two things. After we hear from James Carver.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
In all of the Washington based Democrats parting around going
to wine and cheese parties and talking about how masogy
and mistigation shows, get.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Your ass out of Washington and go work. We're called a.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
Twenty twenty six campaign, and do pennants to make up
for you, damn our since stupidity the.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Same James Carvelos said, like three weeks ago, he absolutely
guaranteed Kamalo would win.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
But he has one before and he is right.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
About most not all, of the fatal flaws with the
Dems right now.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But don't tell him the two things that will open hearts.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Thank you for that, Pump, Ryan, because my big point is,
let's not delude ourselves. These are people voting for Trump,
not the Republican part. We have a chance to keep them.
But the only thing that's going to open their hearts
to us you have two things. You have Donald Trump, right,
Donald Trump the man, and what they've seen from Trump
in the past and what he delivered to them and
(29:44):
what they saw when he got shot in Pennsylvania. Donald
Trump the man. But now we could open their hearts
and win their hearts by delivering, by actually delivering those
concrete results.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So that's one of the many.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Reasons I'm so happy to see Trump off to this
great start with his cabinet. Let's go to meet Colorado.
Talk to Tom because you're gonna need that to be
able to deliver.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
Welcome Tom, Hey, Dan, Hope all as well listen. So
you know I had the privilege of running into Jim
Carrville Metro ten ten and balder wowout all six or
seven years ago. And we arrived there, taking me there
(30:27):
by the way, awesome restaurant.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
That kind of stuff.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Then we got everything. There's nothing bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we got there kind of early and I look
across over at the bar and there's this bald headed dude.
And I told my girlfriend, I go, that's either Michael
Stipe or James Carville. And I couldn't help myself. I
(30:50):
siddled up there and I go, oh, that's car that's Carville,
and I said, hey, I bet a lot of people
think you're James Carrville. He looks at me, he goes,
so mom wefty earth yeah, genuine yeah, and I and
all this stuff I'm hearing him stew out. Yeah, he
(31:13):
can't believe that stuff. There's no way.
Speaker 11 (31:16):
He's too smart.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
He's just trying to stay irrelevant, you know, that's sort
of thing.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
But it is a movie coming out.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
One of the smartest apparatives I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Oh yeah, and he won.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
He got Clinton elected a tom great story man, Thank
you for that. Appreciated. Let's go to ed in Kenyon City.
Not sure for how many years ed, you're on the
Dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Welcome.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
Hey, Dan, I was just calling to ask a question.
I'm not a big fan of the view, but I
saw a highlight where Anne Navarro was talking about how
they're going to separate a US citizen from their families,
and I'm assuming she's talking about the babies that are
born when the pregnant mother comes over our border. All
I want to know is how can a baby become
(31:57):
a US citizen when I had to wait six months
to become a Colorado resident for moving from Nevada. When
I relinquished my driver's license from Nevada, I had to
wait six months before I could buy a resident hunting
and fishing license. And you can't even register to vote
(32:18):
until you can prove that you've lived here and have
a real address. So how can a baby have all
that and without the jurisdiction of a residency in Texas
or New Mexico, Arizona.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Current state of American caseaw But getting back to Anna Navarro,
I'll tell you those are crocodile tears from her ed
And the way you can be sure of that and
thank you for your call, is anybody who truly cares
about the people entering the country from south of the
border as humans, would be absolutely calling for the border
(32:55):
to be closed in an orderly process, because so many
of the women and girls coming up get raped, and
so many of the children get abused and then trafficked
and disappeared.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
So if Anna Navarro or any of these others.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Really cared about these these people as children of God,
they would want that border completely controlled. But I just
believe so many on the left just see him as
future votes and don't even care about their humanity, their
pain they're suffering, any of that. Let's go to Colorado
Springs and talk to Dave. Dave, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
Thank you, Dan. I am somewhat confused. I am wondering
if whether or not the act committed by Jenny Grisold
is as egregious as act committed by Tina Peters, And
if it is not or it is, should the judge
(33:48):
in that particular case of Tina Peters vacate his sentence
and ruling until Jenna Griswold is charged.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Well, you raised a couple of really good questions day,
and the second one is the easiest, which is that
whatever's going on with Jenna Griswold will have no effect
on the Tina Peters case in court. But what it
will affect is public confidence in election integrity.
Speaker 11 (34:15):
And I already have no I have no confidence in
because of the way they were released and sitting online
for five six months.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Well, what should concern you even more than that is
that when Jenna Griswold found out, she made a premeditated,
deliberate decision not to tell the county clerks. And so
my protected opinion is that Jenna Griswold made a decision
at that point that undermined, blatantly undermined confidence in election
(34:46):
integrity and arguably, you know, expanded security concerns by not
telling the clerks. There was no good reason not to
tell the clerks.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
True.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
And on the same note, I'm still getting ballots mail
in ballots for my daughter who's living in Clara for
the last five years.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, and you hear so many stories, all yeah, you
hear so many stories like that.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Dave, thank you for your call. If you just joined us,
thank you. We're mixing a.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Couple of important topics, one national, one local. Trump off
to a very fast start, and we're bringing you the
details about all these different appointments and more and addressing
some concerns people have. And then locally Jenna Griswold, we
need a real investigation.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
We're not getting one. Why
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. Celebration continue four
oh six.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Glad you are here, and there are so many reasons
to continue to celebrate, and I expect we'll be opening
every show that way for years to come. Eight five
five or zero five at two five to five the
number text d an five seven seven three nine. Sitting
here right now, I think the way things are shaping up,
this could well be. This could well be the most
(00:41):
successful presidency.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Of my young lifetime.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
At least I do think all the ingredients are there
for it, including the opportunity. But when have we had
this situation where we've had a guy who served as
president and then he learned on the job still at
I think a spectaculer first term, and then had the
four years off, you know, to think about think about
(01:06):
the good stuff, think about the mistakes, think about what
he'd do differently next time, was put through hell in
the meantime, and then won that second term, won that
second term.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know the old expression.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Decades and days that a key to life is to
make decades worth of progress in days. I think what
we're seeing with President Trump, just from how he's done
so far in this transition, is that he learned so
much that we're going to see a second term that
that's probably two, three, four times as good as most
(01:39):
second terms normally are, because of everything he learned in
the first term and the time he had to think
about it and play it in between. Because clearly now
you know, we didn't pay much attention to it at
the time. We were so concerned about winning the race.
But but you know, you saw these reports about privately
funded transition team in place, So I don't know who
(01:59):
pay the bill on that. Maybe it was Elin. I'm
so glad Musk is involved in all of this. You
can't get enough of these smart people who have the
right principles. But anyway, you know, you can see this
transition team has had its head on straight. No more
freak shows, right Ryan, I mean, we're not going to
see Ameurosa Scaramucci run around the White House or anything
(02:20):
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, it's interesting you bring that up because I had
that conversation rather blunt one, and she was on the
same page as I was with Representative Lauren Bilbert and saying,
you and I have talked about this. It's the one
really point of contention I would have with Trump. In
his first terms, he appointed like Rex Tellerson, you go
down the list and Bolton, all these neo cons and
people that were not pulling in the same direction as him.
(02:41):
We're not on board with his agenda, but they were
supposed to show him the ropes in Washington, right because
he didn't know what he was getting into. Well, now
that he does, you're seeing that reflected, I think in
his appointees.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
And I'm much happier with him this time around.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oh heck yess.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And I think what we see is listen, he knows
it's like Alexander Hamilton. For those who's seen the movie
or the play Hamilton, you know, why does he write
like he's running out of time? I mean, I mean
with Trump, you can see he's in such a hurry
now because he knows that he has so little time
to accomplish everything he wants to. He's making the most
(03:15):
of every day. But he's making all of these really
smart moves I'm not saying that you can't look at
this job and say, oh, that Gal would have been
better for this job. I'm just saying that across the board,
what you see is real quality, and real quality that
is either obviously consistent with his worldview and approach, or
(03:37):
people who you can be sure have agreed that when
they disagree, they're going to do a Trump's way. John
Ratcliffe just announced as his pick for CIA director. And again,
I don't claim to be a John Ratcliffe collegist or anything,
but you can I know who he is, and you
can see by reviewing his CV he's a really serious,
(03:58):
experienced guy, currently co chair at the Center for American
Security at the American First Policy Institute, and that is
a you know, those are serious folks here, and this
guy has a real impressive background.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But across the board you can see Trump is serious
about winning, about being great, and about doing it in
hurry because listen, he can obviously do math, and he
knows that come the midterms, come the midterms after that
president's are normally quote lame duck.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Now, Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Just the way he's wired, right, He's never going to
be any kind of traditional lame duck. But there are
probably going to be some people in his cabinet unless
he made it a condition of joining to say no,
who are going to be looking at running for president themselves.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So he's got this this.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Big two year window and he's in a hurry, and
he's making a lot of well thought out, good moves
right now.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
The other you know, key part of that cocktail, right
if you want to be historically great president is you
have to have the opportunity to be a historically great president.
And he has those opportunities right in front of him
because of how bad the group in front.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Of him was.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And this isn't blue redhead stuff, but obviously we all
know it left the border open, wide open border, all
the problems that come with that, the world on fire
because of Biden's weakness, all that stuff. That's stuff. Trump
has a real chance to fix an area, I mean
the border. He's going to fix day one, right, So
right out of the gate he gets a big w
and then you're going to see these very high profile
(05:30):
rounds up and deportations of criminal illegals, those here who
have committed other serious crimes.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You're going to see that happening.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You are going to see a peace deal done in Ukraine,
which is going to be a major coup Ryan.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You think they'll give him the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, I don't know if they'll give him the Nobel
Peace Prize just because it's him and so many people
wrongfully persecute him.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But you're going to see peace in Russia.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And then we can talk about more on the domestic
front as well about Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
He proved it the first term.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He understands how the economy works, and he understands what
it takes to get businesses revved up, creating jobs, growing
the economy, et cetera. And so no matter how he
gets there, and you can debate terrorists versus non tariff
versus is this kind of tariff and that kind of
tariff mix with blah blah, I just have confidence this
(06:22):
guy knows how to succeed.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
On the economic front, and we've seen him do it before.
So table set. I think, for truly maybe the single most.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Effective presidential term of at least my lifetime eight five
to five for zero five eight two five five takes
da N five seven seven three nine. I am anxious
to hear about whether anybody else concerns about Marco Rubio
as Secretary of State. I think it's brilliant. He would
have been my first choice. I think he should have
been Trump's first choice. It has not yet been confirmed,
(06:53):
is that right, Ryan. We have not seen a formal
announcement of confirmation, and I know there's some pushback on it,
But somewhere in this conversation today, I'd love to hear
from you on that on Marco Rubio, because listen, I
get it that a big part of Trump's appeal, and
it's a big part of his appeal to me, is
no unnecessary wars, you know, no endless wars, and then
(07:17):
some people take it the next step to no more wars.
And Trump was historically great at that in the first term.
But I think that some people are concerned about the
Rubio pick when they really shouldn't be. And they're concerned
because Rubio is a quote hawk. Wait a second, Trump
understands he proved it in the first term. Trump is
not a pacifist. Trump is a peace maker. There's a
(07:43):
big difference. Trump wants peace the last thing Trump wants
his war, and Trump understands he proved it that if
you want peace, you have to prove you're ready to
go to war and win.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's how you get peace. Trump did not.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Trump did not keep our country out of wars by retreating.
Trump kept our country out of wars by causing the
enemy to retreat because they knew they were gonna get
crushed if they messed with them. It's a very personal thing,
obviously as a benefit of the greatest military in the
history of the world. But Trump killed Solomoni, right, that
(08:20):
was a very personal thing. And Trump knew it was
going to put the target on his back, in the
backs of his family, but he did it to protect
our country and our troops. Trump killed Solomoni. Trump killed
out bag daddy. You didn't see Putin, who I view
as Satan n on Earths going into Ukraine when Trump
was there. So those who say, oh, no, Marco Rubio,
he's too much of a hawk. No, you want to
(08:41):
avoid war. You want peace. You want a strong guy
like Marco Rubio in that job.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
And you know he's going to.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Take the orders from Trump. But you want a strong
guy like that in that job. So anyway, I want
to kick that around with you get your thoughts eight
five five four zero five eight two five five takes
DA N five seven seven thirty nine, and I really
want a deep dive. There's so called investigation of the
Colorado Secretary of State that's announced by the Denver DA
(09:09):
and why I don't think this is enough. You're on
the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Great poll, and that's the mode Trump's in right now,
right and I mean, there's so much winning to be
done in so little time relatively, so it's great to
see him off to this fast start. And we'll start
fast with Mary and Denver. You're on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Welcome Mary.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Hi.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
I just have a question about Tom Homan being the
Borders are, which I have no problem with, except I
read fourteen forty every day and they said he was
part of the authors of Project twenty twenty five. So
I thought President Trump was trying to disassociate himself with that.
So that concerns me a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You know, I was looking for a great prank on
election night, you know, like Trump coming out.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And the first thing he says from.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
The victory party is, uh, can't wait for Project twenty
twenty five. Kidding you know, Mary, your call is is
so important because Ryan and I were just talking about
it during the break. You can name any of his
picks or any of his potential picks, and all of
us will be able to find something we disagree with
with any of them.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And so I.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Really hope that that we don't get too caught up
in that, because they none of us are perfect, but
be I just think you need to look at the
totality of the pick. And I mean, Holman, it's like
he comes out of Central Casting for that job, right,
It's like he was put on this earth to do that.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I agree with his ability. But when I'm trying to
get people to vote for Trump and explain and all
they throw back at me is Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Well, he says he has nothing, sister bit.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
And then mister Homan is part of with one of
the authors or are contributed. I'm just like, wow, that
concerns me.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
But sister Mary, it shouldn't at all.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And here's why, because all that matters now, and it's
why Trump won despite all this bogus twenty twenty five
and other stuff they threw it him. The guy had
four years in office, we didn't have to guess. People
knew what he did and what he didn't do. He
wasn't Hitler, he wasn't Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Same thing. Now, I bet you.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Nobody after you today, Mary, Nobody talks about Project twenty
twenty five. All they're looking at is what the guy
does or doesn't do. And Mary, if you want to
if you want to round up all of those folks
here illegally who have committed other serious crime. If Mary,
you want a round up criminally legals, can you think
of anybody better than Tom Holman to do that?
Speaker 6 (11:42):
No? But that's just the whole thing, is I just
it's just it's bad. In my I have been a
good supporter of President Trump, not my favorite person in
the world, but I advocated for him. I thurrogated for
him because I knew he would be best for the job.
But I just this Project twenty twelve five really scares
me because now it seems like we're not that I
(12:04):
am not credible because I kept saying, he says he
has nothing to do with what are what are.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Your friends concerned with?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Say Project twenty twenty five, that you're afraid he might
do that would surprise them.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
I'm not so. I don't think he'll do any of it, right, right.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
So aren't your friends going.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
To be It's not all over Facebook and this is
what he's gonna do. This is what he said. Well,
this is what Project twenty twenty five is. So there
you go.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
That's told you.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I just don't understand why your friends would be concerned
about that. I assume that your friends will be very
pleased that criminals are rounded up and sent out of
this country. Isn't that what's going to matter to him?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
No, I think what matters to them is that they
believe in immigration and that these people are oh tired, hungry,
and lonely and they need to be here.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Okay, well, yeah, your friend, your friends are never going
to like Trump then, because he ran he ran on
not rounding up every person illegally who's been in this
country for ten or fifteen years and now is a
job and as a productive citizen. He never ran on
rounding them up. He ran on rounding up criminally legals,
getting them out of the country immediately, and closing the
(13:09):
border immediately. So if your friends don't like that, then
they were never going to vote for him anyway.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Oh, no, I know they weren't going to vote for him.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You know that's not a Oh you're concerned about them taunting,
you say, and see he lied about Projects twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I don't care about them talk.
Speaker 8 (13:25):
I said.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
He has nothing to do with Project twenty twenty five.
And now perhaps he's associating himself with people who do well.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
He's going to be in every pick Mary, He's going
to be associated himself with people who disagreed with him
on something.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Heck. JD.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Vance called him all the worst things on the face
of the earth before he picked him as VP.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Yeah, and I love me from Jdvan I do too,
So I do too them closely.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah. So you know, don't let the perfect be the
enemy of the great right, I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, have your friends call me.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We'd love to talk to Okay, thank you, I appreciate
the call.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I may offer Mary some consolation. And all of this
Project twenty twenty five was always a canard from the
left because they couldn't make anything else stick to Donald Trump.
It's like them calling him hitler. It's like them calling
him a fascist. And this notion that Project twenty twenty
five is like some mindcolm for something is ridiculous. Have
they actually read it? Have these people actually read anything
(14:22):
in it?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Now?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Donald Trump has said repeatedly, and I believe it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I didn't read it.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I don't want to read it, and then I can't
be assumed or accused of acknowledging anything in it. And
just because he appoints somebody who had some dovetail connection
to Project twenty twenty five, he might reappoint ben Carson
to HUD or another similar department. Dan ben Carson has
written something for Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Let's tell people what it is. Though.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
It's the Heritage Foundation, which is a lobbying arm. It's
no different than any lobbying group on either side of
the aisle that's pitching an idea that they would like
for the country. It may or may not be implemented
in whole or in part, and probably not at all
by Donald Trump, who's going to run on his own agenda.
He was elected to a mandate based on his agenda.
(15:09):
Project twenty twenty five had nothing to do with it.
They were grasping its straws. It's ridiculous, and don't even
pay them any mind, Mary, I.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Agree with that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Hey, I wanted to talk about something else here, and
that is this headline, Denver DA launches investigation into voter
security system passwords breach by Secretary of State's office. This
is a Denver Post headline. And I'm here to tell
you that we need a much much bigger, much much
better investigation of what happened than this for lots of
(15:43):
different reasons.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I mean, it is critical that the people of this
state have confidence in our election system. Jenna Griswold undermines
that confidence through her hyperpartisanship even before these six hundred
passwords went online and then reportedly she made a conscious
decision not to tell the clerks, so that there is justifiable,
(16:05):
widespread lack of confidence right now in that office because
of her. That doesn't mean that any votes were stolen
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
It doesn't mean that at all.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But it means that we need a thorough investigation to
get to the bottom of this. And who in the
right mind would trust an investigation done by a political
ally at Denver DA Beth McCann. Now that's not an
indictment of McCann's integrity, not at all. The issue is
appearances and public confidence in our election integrity. And obviously,
(16:42):
if Beth McCann or Phil Wiser, or Jenna Griswold, any
of these people really cared about election integrity, they would
want a full bore, independent investigation by an independent prosecutor
so the public could have confidence that these leaked passwords
didn't lead to any kind of abuse, and the public
(17:03):
would have confidence in the eventual explanation for how they
got leaked and why Jenna Griswold didn't tell the clerks.
But to have somebody from the same political party. Now,
I got a text from somebody I really trust, I
haven't had time to verify it saying that Beth McCann
donated money to Jenna Griswold's campaign. So right off the bat,
(17:23):
that should be a disqualifier. I'm not saying a technical
legal disqualifier, but one where anybody who truly cares about
public confidence and election integrity would say, you know, I'm
not the right one to do this investigation. A.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
It needs to be somebody from the other party.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It needs it just so there's no appearance of any
kind of political favoritism or gamesmanship. And B it needs
to be somebody of great stature. Mccan's on her way out,
and McCann's widely known as a lefty, criminal friendly DA.
And by the way, if you read the Denver Post story,
it starts with some vote from the DA's office. Oh,
(18:02):
here it is from Beth mccannon. I can't say what
we might learn during the investigation related to involvement of
any members of the office, but at this point, we
have not discovered evidence of criminal activity. I've never suggested
there was criminal activity. But why would a DA, why
would that be the first thing you say? Oh, public,
you got to know. I can't tell you what we
have found, but we haven't found any criminal activity. It's
(18:24):
just smacks of that kind of political favoritism. So I
think what we're seeing right now from Polus on down
is proof that these people really don't care about election integrity.
They are the insider threat to confidence in the system.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
So when I'm gonna say, well, we're going to say
we told you so, We told you a dentity was disaster,
we told you to get out in front of public
safety issues.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
You didn't. You didn't. We told you to have.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
An open process and demonstrate the magnificent and staggering and
deep talent that existed them on Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
You didn't like. We told you to differentiate yourself a Biden.
You didn't. I hate to be know at all, but.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
All of these things a part of the record.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
See this is so funny to watch, and you know how,
and I've been doing this for years. If I'm trying
to get to sleep and night I'm pretty good sleeper,
I'll pull up twenty sixteen election night results, and now
obviously I'm pulling up twenty twenty four and it just
puts a big smile on my face and I drift
off very peacefully.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
But some nights I'm pulling up Carvel because if.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You just google him up on YouTube, he's doing a
lot of stuff right now, especially because he has a
movie coming out in Netflix movie, and so he's just
going off and he's right and often not always, but
he's right so often about these fatal flaws in the
Democratic Party. But there's no way they're going to fix them.
And one of the big things he zeroed in on
(19:57):
is is just that there a identity politics right, and
how it's just absolutely sinking him and he's so right
about that. And again he's the guy who's been really
successful on the left. Let's go out to beautiful Lakewood, Color.
I don't talk to Brad here on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Welcome.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Yes, thank you for taking my phone call. Yes, I
think Tom Hollman's a good pick. But like the previous caller,
I'm extremely concerned about Project two zero two five. Now
I've read part of it, and part of it is
there's eight categories of the VA. In a good category
seven or eight, they basically want to deny you coverage,
in other words, throw you out of the VA Diamond
(20:35):
category eight. And that extremely concerns me because I've the
VA allowed me to join, they said I met the requirements,
and now we got people like the Heart Rage Foundation.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And I'm so sorry to interrupt my friend, but I
just want to keep my audience.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And you're very compelling.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I hope you call every day, But there aren't five
people on the face of the earth right now who
care about Project twenty twenty five because it's completely irrelevant.
I am assuming that you live a life of nirvana
and and that that's why at this point you're even
reading Project twenty twenty five, because because you need a
(21:12):
little aggravation in your life, right, I mean, why would
you bother? Trump has completely distanced himself from it. There's
no reason to believe he's going down that road. Why
would you let this stress you when there are plenty
of things in life, like the end of that Bronco
game to really stress you.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Oh, I agree, But I just rely on the VA
and I've had pretty good, pretty good luck with him,
and it's just the thought of it. I mean, I agree,
it'll probably never happen. I take Trump at his word,
and I voted for him. I voted very Republican. I'm
glad he won. But uh, I just, I guess, my friend,
alarming to think that people even think like that.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Brad, there's a greater chance that Martians will come down
and snatch you. Then Trump's all of the sudden reversing
courses saying he's a Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I'm not saying he'll never do anything that is in
somewhere in there, but that's not at all his his blueprint.
But appreciate the call, my friend, And again I understand
the stress because when you're reliant on something like the VA,
you know, any threat to that, I get it can
really be scary.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
But now Trump is that's not his blueprint.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
He's made that clear. Let's go to Centennial. Talk to Dan.
You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Welcome.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Hi, Hi, Dann.
Speaker 11 (22:29):
How's it going.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I am still living the dream, my friend.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
I've been calling in I'm about Trump since.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Two thousand seen, and I've been a big fan of his.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
I've been on it the whole time. So this is
like a total celebration. It's like it's like seventeen seventy
six all over again for this country.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Yeah, it's amazing to watch. Now, here's the thing we
have got to as a conservative Republican party. We have
got to start raising money and fundraising and keeping this
message going so come midterm we can pick up more senators.
If we lose any any part of the House and
the Senate, we're going to be stale again. So right
(23:09):
now that emphasis has god to be on maintaining or
gaining Senate and Congress seats. You know, I talked to Fabricatory.
It's going to take over twenty five million dollars to
beat Jason Crowe.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
So so we have to.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
We have to and.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
You probably aren't going to get those kind of contributions
to beat Jason Crowe because the smart money people are
going to assume we cannot be beaten.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I thought John ran an excellent, excellent.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Race, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
But yeah and yeah, mich I Don.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Only had four hundred and fifty million dollars. Well, he
wasn't going to put any here because he thought the
same thing, you can't beat this guy. We have to
find a way to beat these people by one. Trump's
going to prove everything he's the saying is going to
be so beneficial to us. We can't get caught up
with ask whining about anything. It is totally on the
move forward. Well, start pushing sen in our state houses.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Hey, Dan, appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And I think one critical thing to keep in mind,
because you've got to be honest. Whether we like where
that leads us or not, We've got to be honest
in order to succeed, and that is that these these
additional votes that just saved America in this election, these
(24:26):
additional votes were for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
They were not for the GOP.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
This was not a wholesale America suddenly on a dime
decided it likes the GOP.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
A whole lot more.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
This was about Donald Trump, and so we got to
be realistic about that. Now, does it open the door
to the opportunity now to keep enough of these people
to be able to keep winning on a larger level, Yes,
it does, but that the only way to walk through
the door.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Words are meaningless.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It would be almost be better as if we never
spoke another word, because the only way you're going to
keep enough of these people is results.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
And that's what it's gonna take. It's gonna take results.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So yeah, Trump was able to drag a couple of
additional senators across the line, you know, kind of all
boats rows with him. But if anybody really thinks that
all those people are coming back in the midterms, we
know from experience that is not true.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
And so yeah, we've got to take advantage of this moment.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The only way to do it is with results eight
five five or zero five eight two five five the number.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Let me get to some of these great texts.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Dan watching James Carvell just before going to sleep would
absolutely cause horrible nightmares.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
For me.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Sorry about that. I know that's hard to listen to.
Too scary for me. That's from Andy. He's just hilarious.
I mean he's obviously we have polar opposite positions on
most of the big issues, but the guy has won
for the Democrats. He's an entertainer and now he's just
got him on blasts, so I think he's hilarious to watch.
(26:07):
Dan Trump has said he wants to perform taxes in
the US. He wants to get rid of federal income
tax and maybe looking at fair tax as a way
to do that.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
What do you think about that? A good question.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Just haven't studied it, and I will study it if
it looks like there's any realistic chance of it happening.
I don't think that there is. I think Donald Trump's
mo is real clear, right, and that is he wants
to grow this economy. He wants to grow this economy
so large that we're able to start paying down debt.
(26:38):
He wants to grow the economy so large that there's
just this across the board improvement of quality of life
in America, including critically working people, because come on, that's
the sea change, right, All these working people didn't come
to the GOP because they all this sudden decided, Oh yeah,
the GOP is a lot better than I thought it was.
They came for Trump, and now we got to keep
(27:00):
them by delivering really concrete results for working people. But
I don't think it's going to come from some It'll
come from tax cuts in part. That's absolutely rocket fuel
to grow the economy and make everything better for everybody.
But no, I don't see anything radical, any radical structural change,
(27:22):
Dan and Ryan will Tom Holman report directly to President
Trump or to Homeland Security Secretary CHRISTI Nome. No matter
what it says on paper, it's all about Trump, right, Ryan,
what do you think of the Nome pick in our
last twenty second?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Holt a little bit of an outlier. I'm not sure
how I feel about that one. It's the one I
feel least good about. But I don't think it's terrible
at this point. I really really like all the other
picks quite a bit to this point.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And I think the key there is that Trump has
carved out has carved out the deportation effort, and I
think the border and the deportation effort are now going
to be with Homan. So I think Christy Nomes responsibilities
are going to be with the other major parts of
Homeland Security, but it's going to be a significantly more
(28:06):
limited job.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
And now let's get back to there.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
We'll start the next segment with this one, and we
have a lot more ground to cover, including on what
I consider to be this holy inadequate investigation of the
Secretary of State's office and the Secretary of State yourself, Dan,
I applaud Malania turning down Jill's invite to the White
House for tea, and won't spend a lot of time
on it, but it's worth a mention because I agree
(28:30):
with Milania on this as well.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
There's only one thing that will open the door to
voter's hearts. Two things. After we hear from James Carver.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
In all of the Washington based Democrats parting around going
to wine and cheese parties and talking about how masogy
and mistigation shows, get.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Your ass out of Washington and go work. We're called a.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
Twenty twenty six campaign, and do pennants to make up
for you, damn our since stupidity the.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Same James Carvelos said, like three weeks ago, he absolutely
guaranteed Kamalo would win.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
But he has one before and he is right.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
About most not all, of the fatal flaws with the
Dems right now.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But don't tell him the two things that will open hearts.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Thank you for that, Pump, Ryan, because my big point is,
let's not delude ourselves. These are people voting for Trump,
not the Republican part. We have a chance to keep them.
But the only thing that's going to open their hearts
to us you have two things. You have Donald Trump, right,
Donald Trump the man, and what they've seen from Trump
in the past and what he delivered to them and
(29:44):
what they saw when he got shot in Pennsylvania. Donald
Trump the man. But now we could open their hearts
and win their hearts by delivering, by actually delivering those
concrete results.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So that's one of the many.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Reasons I'm so happy to see Trump off to this
great start with his cabinet. Let's go to meet Colorado.
Talk to Tom because you're gonna need that to be
able to deliver.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
Welcome Tom, Hey, Dan, Hope all as well listen. So
you know I had the privilege of running into Jim
Carrville Metro ten ten and balder wowout all six or
seven years ago. And we arrived there, taking me there
(30:27):
by the way, awesome restaurant.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
That kind of stuff.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Then we got everything. There's nothing bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we got there kind of early and I look
across over at the bar and there's this bald headed dude.
And I told my girlfriend, I go, that's either Michael
Stipe or James Carville. And I couldn't help myself. I
(30:50):
siddled up there and I go, oh, that's car that's Carville,
and I said, hey, I bet a lot of people
think you're James Carrville. He looks at me, he goes,
so mom wefty earth yeah, genuine yeah, and I and
all this stuff I'm hearing him stew out. Yeah, he
(31:13):
can't believe that stuff. There's no way.
Speaker 11 (31:16):
He's too smart.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
He's just trying to stay irrelevant, you know, that's sort
of thing.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
But it is a movie coming out.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
One of the smartest apparatives I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Oh yeah, and he won.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
He got Clinton elected a tom great story man, Thank
you for that. Appreciated. Let's go to ed in Kenyon City.
Not sure for how many years ed, you're on the
Dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Welcome.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
Hey, Dan, I was just calling to ask a question.
I'm not a big fan of the view, but I
saw a highlight where Anne Navarro was talking about how
they're going to separate a US citizen from their families,
and I'm assuming she's talking about the babies that are
born when the pregnant mother comes over our border. All
I want to know is how can a baby become
(31:57):
a US citizen when I had to wait six months
to become a Colorado resident for moving from Nevada. When
I relinquished my driver's license from Nevada, I had to
wait six months before I could buy a resident hunting
and fishing license. And you can't even register to vote
(32:18):
until you can prove that you've lived here and have
a real address. So how can a baby have all
that and without the jurisdiction of a residency in Texas
or New Mexico, Arizona.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Current state of American caseaw But getting back to Anna Navarro,
I'll tell you those are crocodile tears from her ed
And the way you can be sure of that and
thank you for your call, is anybody who truly cares
about the people entering the country from south of the
border as humans, would be absolutely calling for the border
(32:55):
to be closed in an orderly process, because so many
of the women and girls coming up get raped, and
so many of the children get abused and then trafficked
and disappeared.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
So if Anna Navarro or any of these others.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Really cared about these these people as children of God,
they would want that border completely controlled. But I just
believe so many on the left just see him as
future votes and don't even care about their humanity, their
pain they're suffering, any of that. Let's go to Colorado
Springs and talk to Dave. Dave, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
Thank you, Dan. I am somewhat confused. I am wondering
if whether or not the act committed by Jenny Grisold
is as egregious as act committed by Tina Peters, And
if it is not or it is, should the judge
(33:48):
in that particular case of Tina Peters vacate his sentence
and ruling until Jenna Griswold is charged.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Well, you raised a couple of really good questions day,
and the second one is the easiest, which is that
whatever's going on with Jenna Griswold will have no effect
on the Tina Peters case in court. But what it
will affect is public confidence in election integrity.
Speaker 11 (34:15):
And I already have no I have no confidence in
because of the way they were released and sitting online
for five six months.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Well, what should concern you even more than that is
that when Jenna Griswold found out, she made a premeditated,
deliberate decision not to tell the county clerks. And so
my protected opinion is that Jenna Griswold made a decision
at that point that undermined, blatantly undermined confidence in election
(34:46):
integrity and arguably, you know, expanded security concerns by not
telling the clerks. There was no good reason not to
tell the clerks.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
True.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
And on the same note, I'm still getting ballots mail
in ballots for my daughter who's living in Clara for
the last five years.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, and you hear so many stories, all yeah, you
hear so many stories like that.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Dave, thank you for your call. If you just joined us,
thank you. We're mixing a.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Couple of important topics, one national, one local. Trump off
to a very fast start, and we're bringing you the
details about all these different appointments and more and addressing
some concerns people have. And then locally Jenna Griswold, we
need a real investigation.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
We're not getting one. Why
