This is Dan Caples 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. This very moment,
Quincidentley four oh six on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is
(00:20):
truly one of the sweetest moments of the entire year, right,
I mean, for for almost everybody, because it's at Wednesday
before Thanksgiving. Most people are going to have Thanksgiving off.
And for a lot of people if it's if it's
not their favorite holiday, it's in the top three because
you know, it's just family and you're together, and it's
(00:41):
just the world slows down for a few hours. And
there's that tradition because so people are planning to get
together and then an awful lot of people, you know,
I have Friday off. I know not everybody, but a
lot of people have Friday off. So you got a
good chunk of folks who are sitting here at four
oh six on a Wednesday afternoon just looking for to
you know, one of the very best stretches of the
(01:02):
year for them. So it's just it is a sweet moment.
Then we all know, you know, we get to Okay,
it's now six thirty Sunday night or whatever we're saying. Man,
I wish it was four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon again,
just because it is such a cool time. So just
thankful for that, enjoying that and really appreciate you being
here to enjoy it. And there is so much to enjoy, right,
(01:24):
Because my guess is, even if you are left eat that,
you're you're feeling it now. You may never admit it.
It may be grudging, but you're feeling it now. Things
have changed. It's there is real hope now, you know,
not that sugar high phony stuff. That there is real
hope now, and we can see it playing out in
tangible way. So I just think that there's a much
(01:47):
more positive, lighter, optimistic mood going into this Thanksgiving than
I think we've had chief.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Since I can remember.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So we got that going for us, right, And the
famous words of Bill Murray eight five five four zero
five A two five to five the number more importantly,
text me today if you would d an five seven
seven three nine, and we're gonna it's gonna be a
lot of fun, I think, because I know you're probably
thinking about Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and if you relatives, friends
(02:18):
in laws, this, and that, you're just bound, statistically bound,
especially in Colorado, to have somebody in the mix, you know,
who disagrees with the political politically, pardon me, somebody who's
probably on the left, somebody who's you know, at least
in the past, used to be a Trump hater.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And so you know, you've got to figure out, Okay,
how are you going to approach it tomorrow? Are you
going to just not talk politics at all?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Which I would never criticize anybody for. I mean, my
wife and I, you know, thirty years of phenomenal marriage
at this point in significant part due to the fact
we learned early on we just can't talk politics. So
I'm I'm never going to criticize anybody who just writes
it off for Thanksgiving dinner. Personally, I think it's a
lot more fun to think about different ways to work
(03:04):
it into the conversation. And you know, it's always better
if it's tinged with a little bit of humor. But
they think, I think there are so many different ways
you can start with the opening prayer, right, did do
you lead the prayer? Rye At like Thanksgiving dinner, do
you lead the prayer? Do you try to avoid leading
the prayer?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I've done it before. I'm not the go to guy
necessarily every time. Okay, depends on the circumstances. And maybe
if it's my turn in the rotation.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, you won't dodge it if you're asked right, right.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
And and our son Joe, it's really fantastic. And Caroline
is a tremendous leader of a young Christian group and
very very faithful. And Joe, I think part of it was,
you know, his role on the football team. He was
a captain of the football team at Cherry Creek, the
privilege of playing for Dave Logan, and so Joe would
(03:56):
often get called on to lead prayers in that context,
and so he kind of developed a thing for us.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So it's kind of like every Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Or whatever, Hey, Joe, you want to lead the prayer,
and he never ducks that. He does a great job
with it. In fact, you know, I know we're all
thinking today, and honestly, I do think it's a key
to life. Every day. I don't do it as well
as I should, but I try to start every single day.
My mom taught us this grown up first thing you do,
first thing you do when you wake up is think
(04:27):
of five things you're grateful for. And that was way
before Tony Robbins or any of that. I mean, that
was just my mom sou side of Chicago. Hey, think
of the five things you're grateful for to start the day.
And I think that's absolutely right on every single level
and has a chemical effect too. So I know today
we're especially focused on that. But so I remember with
(04:50):
our son Joe, and he flew in late last night
from law school. He'll be with us tomorrow. But I'll
tell that story later. I have better make sure it's
okay with him if I tell it. It's a really positive,
cool story, but it might be a little too personal.
Eight five five ur zero five A two five five
the number techs d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So what would love your text on? You know?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
In particular jokes, because I think the key to tomorrow
if you want to venture into politics at all, and
I always do, I think the key to tomorrow is
is two things.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's humor and unity. And though I say both the same,
one as an age and one as a you obviously,
but it's humor and unity.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And on the humor side, I think what's really safe
tomorrow are Kamala Harris jokes. I really do because and
this is not meant as a shot, I think it's
just true. I think we got past election day and
the vast majority of people on the left can now see.
Maybe they couldn't before because they were so caught up
(05:58):
and you know, Orange Man bad, but they can see
now that that this Kamala Harris thing was truly a joke,
that she was never qualified to be president, and and
it would have been awful. And they can see that
now that their kind of spell has been broken. So
I think Kamala Harris jokes are are kind of fun
(06:18):
for everybody and a unifier. They aren't going to make
anybody mad. And and so I think Kamala Harris jokes
are are very very effective tomorrow. One of the things,
how many good ones text us?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Please?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yes? All of them? Five seven, seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That assumes, though, that the liberal participants have a sense
of humor, And I'm not going to jump to that
conclusion necessarily you are jaded. What I will do though,
and I think this works and you know what, it's worked.
Even with my own family members who hate Trump, when
I bust out the Trump impression and start making fun
of him, they love it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, but you have a unique ability to do that.
Not all of us do. Not many people can do
the Trump impression. So they're very very dan and just
tell it like it is.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
No, No, you have got that talent, my friend. You
have got that talent. When you know, when God was
sitting up there and thinking, Okay, what do we.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Give this guy?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
That's all I do.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You know it was Trump impression. Yeah, this guy he
gets the Trump impression. No, that is really good. But
but no jokes, Kamala Harris jokes.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
There are no Kamala Harris loyalists. And you know, one
of the things that's going to make Thanksgiving so much
better tomorrow, besides kind of the general overall feeling of
optimism moving forward, is there are so many fewer Trump
haters and those who do still hate. The temperatures turned
(07:42):
down a lot, not for all, but most, you know,
since election Day, and I think the reason for that
is again, people take a step back and can see
how this harrisoning would have been a disaster. But also
Trump has been legitimized, and there had been this effort
to delegitimize him since the day came down the escalator,
(08:04):
but he has truly now through this victory, he has
been legitimized. And so I think there's just a much
different attitude in America tourtum and some of it shows up,
you know, and the good approval ratings and all that stuff,
But I'm just talking about real world what you feel stuff,
and he has been legitimized. And one of the reasons
why is think, what's in our American DNA, just what
(08:27):
we all inherently respect, sometimes is grudging because we may
disagree with the person and other stuff, but we respect fighters,
we respect courage, we respect people who get off the mat,
people who are faced with kind of unimaginable challenges and
they overcome them at the hero's journey. It's in our DNA.
(08:47):
And so I think there is so much more respect
for Trump right now and so much less hate just
for the fact he was able to overcome all of that,
let alone for the positive reasons to support them. So
I think that's going to make Thanksgiving dinner that much easier,
make politics safer. But I would respectfully suggest and I
(09:09):
believe me tomorrow requesting lots of things, but I would
respectfully suggest that that A key is you can talk
political issues, in my opinion, at dinner with plenty of
liberals there if if if I'm focused on the issues
that are more unifying, right, because there are certain things
that were really big on the Trump agenda that no
(09:32):
nobody can really disagree with. You know, these things like uh, yeah, yeah,
you know, we should get the criminals out of the country.
So folks here illegally who've committed other crimes, every reasonable
person is going to agree that they should go. You know,
people actually committing other crimes should go.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
So that that's.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Something big everybody can agree on. You know, I think
everybody can agree that. But boy, it's going to be great.
It's going to be great to have lower prices. Everybody
knows prices are too high, right, I mean, there are
just these different points that I think so many people
can agree on, and I think just focusing on those
(10:15):
during Thanksgiving dinner. Another one is is you know, parts
are parts you know can't have, can't have males with
penises and girls' bathrooms and showers everybody sees that that's
another positive thing. Might want to wait for the rate
part of dinner to get into that. You know the
(10:35):
fennyl and Trump now is stepping up with the tariff thing.
He's going to use the thread of those tariffs. He's
going to make China and Mexico shut down this chemical
attack on our country. You have fast majority of people
can agree on that, so they're so I personally, I'm
going to stick to those more unified issues.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
But on the humor front.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Let me know your good Kamala jokes, and I've got
some thoughts on how to work some kind of subtle
jabs into the into the prayer.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
A lot of people who don't like Donald Trump, I think,
now see him as legitimate, even admire him for for
the way he overcame all that. It's going to make
Thanksgiving much easier with the lefties tomorrow. But I think
Youmer's key. So I want to get your best Kamala
jokes because listen, everybody can see at this point, right
she would have been a total disaster. America dodged a
(11:30):
bullet and so I think everybody can you know kumbaya
around Kamala jokes tomorrow, So go to lines on those
right now. And if you need a reminder, this this
is recent. This is like her video message yesterday, And
if you haven't seen it, let's just say, you know,
she's a very attractive human, not not her best look
(11:52):
in this video, and it sounds like it, right.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
I just have to remind you, don't you ever let
anybody take your power from you. You have the same
power that you did before November fifth, and you have
the same purpose that you did, and you have the
same ability to engage and inspire. So don't ever let
(12:21):
anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, and you got to see the video, but you
can hear it, right.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And it's a good reminder to me that I need
to start drinking more in twenty twenty five because I
enjoy a drink here and there.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I've had one drink all year.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And seriously, I've been thinking I need to drink some
more in twenty twenty five, and she is a good
reminder of that. I don't think that's going to be
her resolution, but Elaine in Denver. You're on the Dan
Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Welcome.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Hi there, Dan. You were mentioning about good Kamala jokes
for Thanksgiving around the table, and I saw a skied
on SML Night Live where Maya Rudolph playing Kamala. She
was having a some kind of a party for her
step kids, and so she says to them quote, she says,
(13:12):
even though I'm not your Mamala, We're going to create
some dramaa here in our pajamaas. So those are the
only three, those three rhyming words that I remember, But
it went on to be it was funnier than the
way I'm oh.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, no, no, I know the one you're talking about, Alane.
But thank you for that, because you're you've reminded people
everybody can work Mamala in somehow. Tomorrow there's a way
to work Mamaala into the conversation and that'll make everybody
laugh because he had all these celebrities out there seriously
saying it, which just goes back to a lot of
(13:49):
different things. Carlos and Milliken, you're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Welcome, Hey Dad, I love the topic. I got a
joke for or Kamala Harris, yes, sir, or for all
the Hispanic voters I voted for Trump, we call her
Kamama la Herry.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay, any any particular meaning? Okay, Right, appreciate the call.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Di'le tones the punchline eight five five five eight two
five five the number if you just joined us saying,
Kam'm talking about ways to successfully navigate Thanksgiving tomorrow, fun ways,
you know, when you.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Have liberals at the table, and I'm just suggesting humor,
and particularly Kamala Harris jokes because everybody, everybody gets it right,
that would have been a disaster that wasn't serious. Mark
in Denver, You're on the dan Kapla show.
Speaker 9 (14:43):
Welcome, Hi, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
Rub I imagined you were old enough to have grown
up in time when if you ask someone who they
voted for, they generally would say, it's none of your business.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
It just used to be the.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Way we operated. We didn't wear our votes on our sleeves.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
And you know, just thinking of Thanksgiving dinner and again
back to those older days when he didn't discuss religion, politics,
or sex at Thanksgiving dinner, and so I would just
question the notion of bringing in any political jokes, whether
it's about Kamala Harris or a great post Lady Malamia.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
Trump, I'm so glad you called like the right place.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
It doesn't seem like the right place.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm so glad you called, yeah, because because I do
think that's the threshold school idea.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Maybe that's an old school idea just like that. And
you do remember when we grew up and people said
to our parents, who'd you vote for? And they go,
it's none of your business. Yeah, it's just kind of
it was maybe a saner way to operate rather than
wearing your politics on our sleeve like we all do
all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Now, Mark, what a great thank you for that, and
not completely forgotten about that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
He's right. I mean it was a little.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Before my time, but I can remember, like my parents' generation,
maybe my grandparents' generation, I can remember people saying none
of your business and that being kind of a standard
acceptable response. That's fascinating. I forgot those days ever even existed.
And personally, I'm not suggesting those are better days, because
(16:28):
the way I look at it is the stakes.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Are so high in these issues. I mean I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Literal when I tell you I think once again, Trump
voters saved America, and so I think these stakes are
so high and such a big deal that then now
I think we need to be out there telling people
what we believe and you know, trying to persuade them
to vote the way we want them to vote. So
I know that other era was probably more comfortable. I
(16:54):
think this is more necessary. Eight five five for zero
five A two five five the number Now Mark's point,
that doesn't mean that we have to use Turkey Day
in order to win the next election. And obviously nobody
wants to braid anybody tomorrow. It's just we've got to
recognize the fact we're all human, right, And with all
(17:14):
the abuse that Trump has taken and that Trump's supporters
have taken over the years, only to be proven right,
I'm just operating in reality, and I just know it's
going to be physically impossible for lots of us to
refrain and restrain from.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Some kind of acknowledgment that we were right.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
So what's the best way to execute that without, say,
undermining the entire event? And I think there are ways
to do it, Like the prayer, Right, if you get
called on to say the prayer, you might slip in
a little and thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
For Trump voters. It doesn't have to be the whole prayer.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And at some point you're going to praise the cook, right,
so you can you can just work in a boy,
you really made that Turkey great again.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
You know, just just some little things there. But let's
be realistic.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
How many people are going to be able to go
cold turkey on politics tomorrow after probably the most consequential
election of our lifetimes and we won, Broly human God
has not finished with us yet, so let's figure out
the best way to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Be some good kamalo joke here on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
How's that play out with the UF tier policy? Because
it's the it's the threat of the tearff right.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
Yeah, China has not played by the rules since they
came into WTO in nineteen ninety nine, and most administrations
have just let it roll. Most of us do business there,
realize it's time to really set the records straight here
because they cheat, they steal, they don't protect IP, we
can't use their courts, and she is getting away with
it because he thinks no one will stand.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Up to it.
Speaker 13 (19:03):
My strategy here and what I would advocate for is
to raise the walls so high that it forces him
to the table here in Washington for a reciprocal deal,
which we desperately need.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And listen, I understand nobody is interested in talking about
tariffs the Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. The only reason I
played that, and that was Kevin O'Leary making a very
good point. The only reason I played that was as
part of Okay, our plan together, and this is something
we'll forge together. Now, vast majority of the audience, I think,
you know, I have a similar worldview that this conservative,
(19:37):
common sense approach, and then you get other you know, liberals,
and some flaming liberals in the audience were grateful for them.
But we need a plan for tomorrow for Thanksgiving, because
I just don't think it's realistic to assume we're going
to go into this Thanksgiving, this close to the most
consequential election of our lifetime, that we won after years
(19:58):
of abuse and DERI and they're trying to jail and
some are trying to kill our candidate. Now we're only human.
There's going to be something about that tomorrow. So let's
figure out the best approach. What I'm suggesting is the
combination of humor and unity. So humor good, Kamala Harris jokes,
if you have some share it, don't keep your light
(20:19):
under a bushel eight five to five for zero five
eight two five five or text d an five seven
seven three nine. So good, Kamala Harris jokes. Nobody's going
to get upset about that because she has zero support
in America. Zero support in America. Now, plenty of people
voted for it because they wanted to stop Trump, but
then Trump gets legitimized through his victory.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Because American DNA.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You know, we respect people who overcome enormous odds and
keep fighting and so so yeah, Kamala Harris joke's totally
safe tomorrow. So if you've got a good one, let
us have it. The other thing is just kind of
the unity stuff. Some of these political issues that drove
the campaign, but they're unifying other than if you have
a true psycho in your family, then maybe they can't
(21:03):
agree on things like uh, yeah, now somebody with male
organ shouldn't be in the girls shower or or you know, yeah,
we've got to deport criminals from our country people who
came here illegal and then committed other crimes. Yeah, we
got to get rid of them right now. Every sane
person's going to agree with that. Fentanyl, Yeah, stop the
(21:23):
chemical attack on our country. Everybody's going to agree with that.
So I think that's the key. And then, of course
humor in other ways you can work it in. So
if you have suggestions, I've given you a few of mine.
But if you have suggestions, would love them. We have
other things today we need to talk about, but I
don't know that anything's more important than that.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
What's Kamala's favorite wine? Kecklin Cabernet. Thank you very much, Texter.
I'm not sure that's going to be a big winner tomorrow.
Ryan liked it for it, okay.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I think she prefers Chardonnay or penal. Greg Gregio, did
you Dan?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Come on? Can we talk?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Can I ask you a questions?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Do you think it's fair in these days now of
legalized drugs and you can't even call it marijuana and
Colorado it's krackle one, it's so pope. Do you think
it's fair to ask elected officials whether.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They smoke pot?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Do you do dope?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I mean you know, and I don't mean this in
the pejority, But when you have a mayor of Denver
who comes out and says he's calling for an insurrection,
he says he's going to have an insurrection, He's going
to use Denver police to go fight Feds to stop
federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law. Is it fair
to ask in that situation, mayor, do you do dope?
(22:40):
Do you use dope?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It's fair, but I think his answer being yes would
play to his base in Denver.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
They would look at it as a positive.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Well, maybe you're right.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Is it fair to ask about psychedelics? And I'm not
making any kind of allegation. I don't know Mike Johnson personally.
I don't know if he's ever used marijuana. I don't
know if he's ever done psychedelics. Asking since this stuff
is legal now in Denver in part large part because
what the left has done. Because the left knows the
more drug population is more dependent on government, they'refore more
likely to vote.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
For the Left. That's why they want all that poison.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So is it fair to ask, particularly when it comes
out and says stuff that insane and that obviously harmful
to Denver.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And I would be more concerned if the answer was no,
I don't use marijuana or psychedelic mushrooms, there any kind
of drugs along those lines. This is what I honestly
think with a sober mind. Okay, that's more concerning.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So would it be fair to ask Kamala Harris had
been fair to ask her during the campaign?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Dan, how about after that video yesterday?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, come on, yeah, and those are yeah, yeah, you
can't tell me.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Let's play on kile of that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
But Ryan, there were fair questions long before that I
got my button bars out of because we would have
the coconuts sound right? This dates back to the coconut
era and what was polish to remember Polis Immediately he
started sending out tweets with coconuts and palm trees.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
And you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Speaker 10 (24:09):
Do you exist in the context.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Of all in which you live and what came before you?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, tell me this as a guy who's never done drugs,
can you just and I don't mean that as a
whole ear in now or judgmental enemy adult who has
That's not my point. I'm just being honest about my
experiences never having been in that mental state. Is that
mental state consistent with a particular more consistent with a
(24:40):
particular substance, or none at all.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
It can be.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I think it would be a very convenient and valid
excuse for talking like that.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I don't know that she has it.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Maybe outside of the wine now, I believe, Dan, We're
gonna get a lot of stories from staffers who were
very close to during this campaign. They're gonna tell us
what was going on behind the scenes, and that may have.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Been part of it. The wine part. I think there's
a lot of wine involved.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Come on, how soon after she was installed? It's Saturday
Night Live. Do the America's wine mom skein.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
The Josh wine?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Which is a very clever turn of phraser because of
Josh Shapiro. And did you see the video? I think
we had it at one time several months ago, Dan,
she spoke to some I think campaign workers in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Her hair was disheveled, she was luring her words. You
remember that one.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, I mean it just stands as the son of
an alcoholic.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I can tell you that that looked a little peculiar.
Not drying any conclusions or anything, but we never really
got to fully enjoy this one I know is your
favorite dance. I want to play it, but it's timely
because of the season.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
And this would have worked so well in so many ads.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
And when we all sing happy tunes, I sing Merry
Christmas and wish each other merry Christmas.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
These children are not going to have a merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
How dare we speak merry Christmas? How dare we?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Or Joy takes so many different forms, doesn't it? And
and isn't that one of the ironies? And I know
everybody already knows this, but I'm so glad to see it.
The joy was in the Trump campaign, I mean, which
which brings us back to some more ways to make
tomorrow successful and fun, even with your liberal relatives at
the Trump dance, right, because everybody can do it, yes,
(26:25):
and and so you can work that in in a
thousand different situations like tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Okay, you get the yippie nephew.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Okay, he arrives at the front door, he's all grunged out.
We don't have one of these, by the way, I'm
just imagining somebody who does.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You don't know what a yippie is? Okay, Okay, arrives
at the front door.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
He knows more than anybody, right he and and you know,
but they're the fund way, the man bun. They're these subtle,
funny smells like skunk. You know that there are these
subtle ways you can do it. So you get to
the front door, and then you just do the quick
Trump dance proof, you know, because everybody can do it.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
It's just like you know, I think it's contagious.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
A right jab, a left jab, and then just mix
a little into the Thanksgiving you know song list, a
little YMCA because I guarantee you you you pump a
little YMCA into that dining room, you know, during dinner,
and then you're gonna have even the lefties are kind
of just instinctively gonna start doing the Trump dance.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I mean you can't not.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Just by playing that song or hold on on Coming
by Sam and Dave.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
The message is set. People know what those songs mean.
At this point, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Got to be the YMCA. Well the other that's another
great way to celebrate. Just put an American flag out, right, Yeah, yeah,
Just put the American flag out Because the left now
views the American.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Flag as a.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Sign of far right extremism, right, I mean, that's how
far gone there. But I'm just talking about fun, subtle
ways that don't ruin the dinner. Yeah, eight five five
for zero five A two five five Do you want
to get to some of these texts? So if you've
got some good Kamala jokes, because that's nobody's gonna get
upset about good Kamala jokes tomorrow, and other ways to
(28:17):
just sort of work your your message in with a
little bit of humor, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
And there are ways, like I suggested earlier. Yeah, okay,
whether it's the could be the green beats. Ooh you
sure make those green beats great again. You know, they're
just those little ways.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
We've got other news we need to talk about also
eight five five for er a five eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Text d A N five seven seven three.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Nine And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcasts.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
When we need the webcam. It's like thirty bucks, why
don't we have money?
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Look a good dam don't you a dead man can
do this dance?
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Joe Biden?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, Biden could do it. He voted for Trump. He
might as well do the dance, you think He.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
And doctor Jill Biden behind the scenes of Dundas dance
like having fun with it because they are glad.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Kamal alas, I can absolutely picture that, totally picture it
and think about it before we go back to the
phone lines. You're trying to talk about how to navigate
tomorrow if you've got lefties entered Thanksgiving table and who
doesn't and in a fun way, and texture doesn't like it,
she says, Dan Kamala jokes on Thanksgiving Day is a
(29:32):
terrible idea. We really don't need more antagonism right now.
Please rethink this. We were taught never to gloat when
we win and never to whind when we lose. Now
the last part, thousand percent agreement why I was to see,
let's see.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
That's how we can do it tomorrow. Keep it light.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But I was taught from the time I was a
little kid. Yeah, you know, the winner is more than
who has the highest score on the board. You have
to conduct yourself like a winner. In fact, that was
part of my dad's toast at our wedding reception. He
was my best man when Amy and I got married,
And that's what we were taught from when we were
little kids. I'm with you, one thousand percent on that,
(30:10):
and I've always.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Practiced it, and so I get that.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
No, I'm not talking at all about any kind of
gloating tomorrow. No, No, I'm talking about being honest about
the fact that we're all human, and being realistic about
the fact that this close to the election, most consequential
election of our lifetime, that we won, and then obviously
there'll be some adult beverages tomorrow, and just being realistic.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Something's going to work.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Its way in so let's just have fun with it,
do it in a humorous way. That's all I'm saying.
But to your point about Biden, as I go back
to the phone lines in these great texts every day,
I tried to add one profound observation, you know, beyond
the obvious, something that maybe isn't being talked about many places.
(31:03):
And I think what that is right now is that
one of the many great accomplishments of Donald Trump with
this victory is this is the end of the Obama era. Now,
it doesn't mean that he's going to disappear or won't
have an impact or this or that, but in terms
of Barack Obama having some kind of dramatic, dynamic impact, no,
(31:26):
I think this ended that still relevant and important, yes,
but not the king maker. And it's to the point
you made a second ago. Ryan, think about it. Joe Biden,
you know, for his deep cognitive decline. Somehow Biden and
the people around him were able to And I think
it was the people around him, because we all know
(31:47):
Joe Biden didn't write that letter, you know where he
rescinded his Democratic nomination. Somebody else put that together, obviously,
but whoever was making those calls, they completely maneuvered Obama
because there's there's no doubt you know, it was Obama
spearheading this effort to get Biden out and replace him.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
And he succeeded.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
But then the people around Biden completely outflanked him and
immediately inserted Harris through a Biden endorsement, to make sure
Obama would lose and all the people who deposed Biden
would lose. So it was one of the most brilliant
political plays we've ever seen by an otherwise decrepit failed administration.
(32:32):
But thank god they did it. Thank god they did
it because she was just not going to win and
it lets Trump start with a big head of esteem.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Now, Dean and Arvada. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Welcome Hey Dan, get afternoon and then the Happy thanks
Giving you too much. I wanted to say one thing,
all Varry Mike's this thing, because how dare him have
a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow? And how dare him have a
merry Christmas?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Kamala Harris?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Oh yeah, oh yeah no, And I'm suppose you haven't
heard from area for a few days.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Yeah, go ahead, funny.
Speaker 14 (33:08):
I wanted to ask all this like last I don't
know year, year and a half, two years they've been
calling Trump Hitler, fascist, Marxist, I mean, just derogatory defamation names.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Doesn't have a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Can he sue for that?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh listen, not for that, but he can sue for
certain other things. And I've volunteered on air to represent
him for free in a lawsuit against Jim Acosta CNN
when Acosta went on air yeah and said that Trump
had called for the execution of Liz Cheney. I mean there,
even though you're a public figure, there are still lines.
And yeah, so to be interested to see if he
(33:46):
pursues any of that, my friend, thank you Dean for that.
We're up against a hard network break coming up here.
But yeah, be interesting if he pursues any of that.
I'm not predicting that. I think he's gonna have his
hands full. And I hate to talk about anything serious
on this Wednesday before or Thanksgiving, one of the happiest
times of the year for so many people because so
many foot just being together with family tomorrow and then
(34:07):
some people have the four day weekend and watching the
just as ashe's time that, yeah, that could certainly happened. Certainly,
just say that because you grew up a Barris fan,
I know, Dan, oh yeah, yeah. But but all in
obviously for many moons with the Broncos. But it is
fun to see the Lions resurgence, and you know, we
all like to be proven, right. Caleb Williams, I don't.
(34:30):
I wish him very well, but I just don't think
he's a winner. You know, quarterbacks especially, it's everybody gets
all caught up in you know, height, weight and all
these different metrics when it comes to quarterbacks, more so
than any other position in any other sport, it's about
that X factor. Who's a winner, who's a winner, who's
a leader. And yeah, he's obviously got it. T Bow
(34:52):
had it Nix has it, Shador Sanders has it. You know,
you got some people have it, and then you get
all these five Stars and you get all these people
who have all the tools.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
But they don't have the heart.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
They don't have that X factor, and Caleb Williams is
just maybe that can change over time. And nobody in
our audience cares about Caleb Williams, including me. So I'm
going to stop all that right now. But I do
in the five and I'm sorry to get serious about something,
but we have this obviously coordinated attack trying to terrorize
a large group of Trump nominees. What do you think
(35:23):
that portends for what is to come and what's the
best response to that.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Caples 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. This very moment,
Quincidentley four oh six on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is
(00:20):
truly one of the sweetest moments of the entire year, right,
I mean, for for almost everybody, because it's at Wednesday
before Thanksgiving. Most people are going to have Thanksgiving off.
And for a lot of people if it's if it's
not their favorite holiday, it's in the top three because
you know, it's just family and you're together, and it's
(00:41):
just the world slows down for a few hours. And
there's that tradition because so people are planning to get
together and then an awful lot of people, you know,
I have Friday off. I know not everybody, but a
lot of people have Friday off. So you got a
good chunk of folks who are sitting here at four
oh six on a Wednesday afternoon just looking for to
you know, one of the very best stretches of the
(01:02):
year for them. So it's just it is a sweet moment.
Then we all know, you know, we get to Okay,
it's now six thirty Sunday night or whatever we're saying. Man,
I wish it was four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon again,
just because it is such a cool time. So just
thankful for that, enjoying that and really appreciate you being
here to enjoy it. And there is so much to enjoy, right,
(01:24):
Because my guess is, even if you are left eat that,
you're you're feeling it now. You may never admit it.
It may be grudging, but you're feeling it now. Things
have changed. It's there is real hope now, you know,
not that sugar high phony stuff. That there is real
hope now, and we can see it playing out in
tangible way. So I just think that there's a much
(01:47):
more positive, lighter, optimistic mood going into this Thanksgiving than
I think we've had chief.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Since I can remember.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So we got that going for us, right, And the
famous words of Bill Murray eight five five four zero
five A two five to five the number more importantly,
text me today if you would d an five seven
seven three nine, and we're gonna it's gonna be a
lot of fun, I think, because I know you're probably
thinking about Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and if you relatives, friends
(02:18):
in laws, this, and that, you're just bound, statistically bound,
especially in Colorado, to have somebody in the mix, you know,
who disagrees with the political politically, pardon me, somebody who's
probably on the left, somebody who's you know, at least
in the past, used to be a Trump hater.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And so you know, you've got to figure out, Okay,
how are you going to approach it tomorrow? Are you
going to just not talk politics at all?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Which I would never criticize anybody for. I mean, my
wife and I, you know, thirty years of phenomenal marriage
at this point in significant part due to the fact
we learned early on we just can't talk politics. So
I'm I'm never going to criticize anybody who just writes
it off for Thanksgiving dinner. Personally, I think it's a
lot more fun to think about different ways to work
(03:04):
it into the conversation. And you know, it's always better
if it's tinged with a little bit of humor. But
they think, I think there are so many different ways
you can start with the opening prayer, right, did do
you lead the prayer? Rye At like Thanksgiving dinner, do
you lead the prayer? Do you try to avoid leading
the prayer?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I've done it before. I'm not the go to guy
necessarily every time. Okay, depends on the circumstances. And maybe
if it's my turn in the rotation.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, you won't dodge it if you're asked right, right.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
And and our son Joe, it's really fantastic. And Caroline
is a tremendous leader of a young Christian group and
very very faithful. And Joe, I think part of it was,
you know, his role on the football team. He was
a captain of the football team at Cherry Creek, the
privilege of playing for Dave Logan, and so Joe would
(03:56):
often get called on to lead prayers in that context,
and so he kind of developed a thing for us.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So it's kind of like every Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Or whatever, Hey, Joe, you want to lead the prayer,
and he never ducks that. He does a great job
with it. In fact, you know, I know we're all
thinking today, and honestly, I do think it's a key
to life. Every day. I don't do it as well
as I should, but I try to start every single day.
My mom taught us this grown up first thing you do,
first thing you do when you wake up is think
(04:27):
of five things you're grateful for. And that was way
before Tony Robbins or any of that. I mean, that
was just my mom sou side of Chicago. Hey, think
of the five things you're grateful for to start the day.
And I think that's absolutely right on every single level
and has a chemical effect too. So I know today
we're especially focused on that. But so I remember with
(04:50):
our son Joe, and he flew in late last night
from law school. He'll be with us tomorrow. But I'll
tell that story later. I have better make sure it's
okay with him if I tell it. It's a really positive,
cool story, but it might be a little too personal.
Eight five five ur zero five A two five five
the number techs d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So what would love your text on? You know?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
In particular jokes, because I think the key to tomorrow
if you want to venture into politics at all, and
I always do, I think the key to tomorrow is
is two things.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's humor and unity. And though I say both the same,
one as an age and one as a you obviously,
but it's humor and unity.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And on the humor side, I think what's really safe
tomorrow are Kamala Harris jokes. I really do because and
this is not meant as a shot, I think it's
just true. I think we got past election day and
the vast majority of people on the left can now see.
Maybe they couldn't before because they were so caught up
(05:58):
and you know, Orange Man bad, but they can see
now that that this Kamala Harris thing was truly a joke,
that she was never qualified to be president, and and
it would have been awful. And they can see that
now that their kind of spell has been broken. So
I think Kamala Harris jokes are are kind of fun
(06:18):
for everybody and a unifier. They aren't going to make
anybody mad. And and so I think Kamala Harris jokes
are are very very effective tomorrow. One of the things,
how many good ones text us?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Please?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yes? All of them? Five seven, seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That assumes, though, that the liberal participants have a sense
of humor, And I'm not going to jump to that
conclusion necessarily you are jaded. What I will do though,
and I think this works and you know what, it's worked.
Even with my own family members who hate Trump, when
I bust out the Trump impression and start making fun
of him, they love it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, but you have a unique ability to do that.
Not all of us do. Not many people can do
the Trump impression. So they're very very dan and just
tell it like it is.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
No, No, you have got that talent, my friend. You
have got that talent. When you know, when God was
sitting up there and thinking, Okay, what do we.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Give this guy?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
That's all I do.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You know it was Trump impression. Yeah, this guy he
gets the Trump impression. No, that is really good. But
but no jokes, Kamala Harris jokes.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
There are no Kamala Harris loyalists. And you know, one
of the things that's going to make Thanksgiving so much
better tomorrow, besides kind of the general overall feeling of
optimism moving forward, is there are so many fewer Trump
haters and those who do still hate. The temperatures turned
(07:42):
down a lot, not for all, but most, you know,
since election Day, and I think the reason for that
is again, people take a step back and can see
how this harrisoning would have been a disaster. But also
Trump has been legitimized, and there had been this effort
to delegitimize him since the day came down the escalator,
(08:04):
but he has truly now through this victory, he has
been legitimized. And so I think there's just a much
different attitude in America tourtum and some of it shows up,
you know, and the good approval ratings and all that stuff,
But I'm just talking about real world what you feel stuff,
and he has been legitimized. And one of the reasons
why is think, what's in our American DNA, just what
(08:27):
we all inherently respect, sometimes is grudging because we may
disagree with the person and other stuff, but we respect fighters,
we respect courage, we respect people who get off the mat,
people who are faced with kind of unimaginable challenges and
they overcome them at the hero's journey. It's in our DNA.
(08:47):
And so I think there is so much more respect
for Trump right now and so much less hate just
for the fact he was able to overcome all of that,
let alone for the positive reasons to support them. So
I think that's going to make Thanksgiving dinner that much easier,
make politics safer. But I would respectfully suggest and I
(09:09):
believe me tomorrow requesting lots of things, but I would
respectfully suggest that that A key is you can talk
political issues, in my opinion, at dinner with plenty of
liberals there if if if I'm focused on the issues
that are more unifying, right, because there are certain things
that were really big on the Trump agenda that no
(09:32):
nobody can really disagree with. You know, these things like uh, yeah, yeah,
you know, we should get the criminals out of the country.
So folks here illegally who've committed other crimes, every reasonable
person is going to agree that they should go. You know,
people actually committing other crimes should go.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
So that that's.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Something big everybody can agree on. You know, I think
everybody can agree that. But boy, it's going to be great.
It's going to be great to have lower prices. Everybody
knows prices are too high, right, I mean, there are
just these different points that I think so many people
can agree on, and I think just focusing on those
(10:15):
during Thanksgiving dinner. Another one is is you know, parts
are parts you know can't have, can't have males with
penises and girls' bathrooms and showers everybody sees that that's
another positive thing. Might want to wait for the rate
part of dinner to get into that. You know the
(10:35):
fennyl and Trump now is stepping up with the tariff thing.
He's going to use the thread of those tariffs. He's
going to make China and Mexico shut down this chemical
attack on our country. You have fast majority of people
can agree on that, so they're so I personally, I'm
going to stick to those more unified issues.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
But on the humor front.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Let me know your good Kamala jokes, and I've got
some thoughts on how to work some kind of subtle
jabs into the into the prayer.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
A lot of people who don't like Donald Trump, I think,
now see him as legitimate, even admire him for for
the way he overcame all that. It's going to make
Thanksgiving much easier with the lefties tomorrow. But I think
Youmer's key. So I want to get your best Kamala
jokes because listen, everybody can see at this point, right
she would have been a total disaster. America dodged a
(11:30):
bullet and so I think everybody can you know kumbaya
around Kamala jokes tomorrow, So go to lines on those
right now. And if you need a reminder, this this
is recent. This is like her video message yesterday, And
if you haven't seen it, let's just say, you know,
she's a very attractive human, not not her best look
(11:52):
in this video, and it sounds like it, right.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
I just have to remind you, don't you ever let
anybody take your power from you. You have the same
power that you did before November fifth, and you have
the same purpose that you did, and you have the
same ability to engage and inspire. So don't ever let
(12:21):
anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, and you got to see the video, but you
can hear it, right.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And it's a good reminder to me that I need
to start drinking more in twenty twenty five because I
enjoy a drink here and there.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I've had one drink all year.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And seriously, I've been thinking I need to drink some
more in twenty twenty five, and she is a good
reminder of that. I don't think that's going to be
her resolution, but Elaine in Denver. You're on the Dan
Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Welcome.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Hi there, Dan. You were mentioning about good Kamala jokes
for Thanksgiving around the table, and I saw a skied
on SML Night Live where Maya Rudolph playing Kamala. She
was having a some kind of a party for her
step kids, and so she says to them quote, she says,
(13:12):
even though I'm not your Mamala, We're going to create
some dramaa here in our pajamaas. So those are the
only three, those three rhyming words that I remember, But
it went on to be it was funnier than the
way I'm oh.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, no, no, I know the one you're talking about, Alane.
But thank you for that, because you're you've reminded people
everybody can work Mamala in somehow. Tomorrow there's a way
to work Mamaala into the conversation and that'll make everybody
laugh because he had all these celebrities out there seriously
saying it, which just goes back to a lot of
(13:49):
different things. Carlos and Milliken, you're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Welcome, Hey Dad, I love the topic. I got a
joke for or Kamala Harris, yes, sir, or for all
the Hispanic voters I voted for Trump, we call her
Kamama la Herry.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay, any any particular meaning? Okay, Right, appreciate the call.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Di'le tones the punchline eight five five five eight two
five five the number if you just joined us saying,
Kam'm talking about ways to successfully navigate Thanksgiving tomorrow, fun ways,
you know, when you.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Have liberals at the table, and I'm just suggesting humor,
and particularly Kamala Harris jokes because everybody, everybody gets it right,
that would have been a disaster that wasn't serious. Mark
in Denver, You're on the dan Kapla show.
Speaker 9 (14:43):
Welcome, Hi, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
Rub I imagined you were old enough to have grown
up in time when if you ask someone who they
voted for, they generally would say, it's none of your business.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
It just used to be the.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Way we operated. We didn't wear our votes on our sleeves.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
And you know, just thinking of Thanksgiving dinner and again
back to those older days when he didn't discuss religion, politics,
or sex at Thanksgiving dinner, and so I would just
question the notion of bringing in any political jokes, whether
it's about Kamala Harris or a great post Lady Malamia.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
Trump, I'm so glad you called like the right place.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
It doesn't seem like the right place.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm so glad you called, yeah, because because I do
think that's the threshold school idea.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Maybe that's an old school idea just like that. And
you do remember when we grew up and people said
to our parents, who'd you vote for? And they go,
it's none of your business. Yeah, it's just kind of
it was maybe a saner way to operate rather than
wearing your politics on our sleeve like we all do
all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Now, Mark, what a great thank you for that, and
not completely forgotten about that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
He's right. I mean it was a little.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Before my time, but I can remember, like my parents' generation,
maybe my grandparents' generation, I can remember people saying none
of your business and that being kind of a standard
acceptable response. That's fascinating. I forgot those days ever even existed.
And personally, I'm not suggesting those are better days, because
(16:28):
the way I look at it is the stakes.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Are so high in these issues. I mean I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Literal when I tell you I think once again, Trump
voters saved America, and so I think these stakes are
so high and such a big deal that then now
I think we need to be out there telling people
what we believe and you know, trying to persuade them
to vote the way we want them to vote. So
I know that other era was probably more comfortable. I
(16:54):
think this is more necessary. Eight five five for zero
five A two five five the number Now Mark's point,
that doesn't mean that we have to use Turkey Day
in order to win the next election. And obviously nobody
wants to braid anybody tomorrow. It's just we've got to
recognize the fact we're all human, right, And with all
(17:14):
the abuse that Trump has taken and that Trump's supporters
have taken over the years, only to be proven right,
I'm just operating in reality, and I just know it's
going to be physically impossible for lots of us to
refrain and restrain from.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Some kind of acknowledgment that we were right.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
So what's the best way to execute that without, say,
undermining the entire event? And I think there are ways
to do it, Like the prayer, Right, if you get
called on to say the prayer, you might slip in
a little and thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
For Trump voters. It doesn't have to be the whole prayer.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And at some point you're going to praise the cook, right,
so you can you can just work in a boy,
you really made that Turkey great again.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
You know, just just some little things there. But let's
be realistic.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
How many people are going to be able to go
cold turkey on politics tomorrow after probably the most consequential
election of our lifetimes and we won, Broly human God
has not finished with us yet, so let's figure out
the best way to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Be some good kamalo joke here on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
How's that play out with the UF tier policy? Because
it's the it's the threat of the tearff right.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
Yeah, China has not played by the rules since they
came into WTO in nineteen ninety nine, and most administrations
have just let it roll. Most of us do business there,
realize it's time to really set the records straight here
because they cheat, they steal, they don't protect IP, we
can't use their courts, and she is getting away with
it because he thinks no one will stand.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Up to it.
Speaker 13 (19:03):
My strategy here and what I would advocate for is
to raise the walls so high that it forces him
to the table here in Washington for a reciprocal deal,
which we desperately need.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And listen, I understand nobody is interested in talking about
tariffs the Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. The only reason I
played that, and that was Kevin O'Leary making a very
good point. The only reason I played that was as
part of Okay, our plan together, and this is something
we'll forge together. Now, vast majority of the audience, I think,
you know, I have a similar worldview that this conservative,
(19:37):
common sense approach, and then you get other you know, liberals,
and some flaming liberals in the audience were grateful for them.
But we need a plan for tomorrow for Thanksgiving, because
I just don't think it's realistic to assume we're going
to go into this Thanksgiving, this close to the most
consequential election of our lifetime, that we won after years
(19:58):
of abuse and DERI and they're trying to jail and
some are trying to kill our candidate. Now we're only human.
There's going to be something about that tomorrow. So let's
figure out the best approach. What I'm suggesting is the
combination of humor and unity. So humor good, Kamala Harris jokes,
if you have some share it, don't keep your light
(20:19):
under a bushel eight five to five for zero five
eight two five five or text d an five seven
seven three nine. So good, Kamala Harris jokes. Nobody's going
to get upset about that because she has zero support
in America. Zero support in America. Now, plenty of people
voted for it because they wanted to stop Trump, but
then Trump gets legitimized through his victory.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Because American DNA.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You know, we respect people who overcome enormous odds and
keep fighting and so so yeah, Kamala Harris joke's totally
safe tomorrow. So if you've got a good one, let
us have it. The other thing is just kind of
the unity stuff. Some of these political issues that drove
the campaign, but they're unifying other than if you have
a true psycho in your family, then maybe they can't
(21:03):
agree on things like uh, yeah, now somebody with male
organ shouldn't be in the girls shower or or you know, yeah,
we've got to deport criminals from our country people who
came here illegal and then committed other crimes. Yeah, we
got to get rid of them right now. Every sane
person's going to agree with that. Fentanyl, Yeah, stop the
(21:23):
chemical attack on our country. Everybody's going to agree with that.
So I think that's the key. And then, of course
humor in other ways you can work it in. So
if you have suggestions, I've given you a few of mine.
But if you have suggestions, would love them. We have
other things today we need to talk about, but I
don't know that anything's more important than that.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
What's Kamala's favorite wine? Kecklin Cabernet. Thank you very much, Texter.
I'm not sure that's going to be a big winner tomorrow.
Ryan liked it for it, okay.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I think she prefers Chardonnay or penal. Greg Gregio, did
you Dan?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Come on? Can we talk?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Can I ask you a questions?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Do you think it's fair in these days now of
legalized drugs and you can't even call it marijuana and
Colorado it's krackle one, it's so pope. Do you think
it's fair to ask elected officials whether.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They smoke pot?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Do you do dope?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I mean you know, and I don't mean this in
the pejority, But when you have a mayor of Denver
who comes out and says he's calling for an insurrection,
he says he's going to have an insurrection, He's going
to use Denver police to go fight Feds to stop
federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law. Is it fair
to ask in that situation, mayor, do you do dope?
(22:40):
Do you use dope?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It's fair, but I think his answer being yes would
play to his base in Denver.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
They would look at it as a positive.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Well, maybe you're right.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Is it fair to ask about psychedelics? And I'm not
making any kind of allegation. I don't know Mike Johnson personally.
I don't know if he's ever used marijuana. I don't
know if he's ever done psychedelics. Asking since this stuff
is legal now in Denver in part large part because
what the left has done. Because the left knows the
more drug population is more dependent on government, they'refore more
likely to vote.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
For the Left. That's why they want all that poison.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So is it fair to ask, particularly when it comes
out and says stuff that insane and that obviously harmful
to Denver.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And I would be more concerned if the answer was no,
I don't use marijuana or psychedelic mushrooms, there any kind
of drugs along those lines. This is what I honestly
think with a sober mind. Okay, that's more concerning.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So would it be fair to ask Kamala Harris had
been fair to ask her during the campaign?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Dan, how about after that video yesterday?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, come on, yeah, and those are yeah, yeah, you
can't tell me.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Let's play on kile of that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
But Ryan, there were fair questions long before that I
got my button bars out of because we would have
the coconuts sound right? This dates back to the coconut
era and what was polish to remember Polis Immediately he
started sending out tweets with coconuts and palm trees.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
And you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Speaker 10 (24:09):
Do you exist in the context.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Of all in which you live and what came before you?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, tell me this as a guy who's never done drugs,
can you just and I don't mean that as a
whole ear in now or judgmental enemy adult who has
That's not my point. I'm just being honest about my
experiences never having been in that mental state. Is that
mental state consistent with a particular more consistent with a
(24:40):
particular substance, or none at all.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
It can be.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I think it would be a very convenient and valid
excuse for talking like that.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I don't know that she has it.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Maybe outside of the wine now, I believe, Dan, We're
gonna get a lot of stories from staffers who were
very close to during this campaign. They're gonna tell us
what was going on behind the scenes, and that may have.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Been part of it. The wine part. I think there's
a lot of wine involved.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Come on, how soon after she was installed? It's Saturday
Night Live. Do the America's wine mom skein.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
The Josh wine?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Which is a very clever turn of phraser because of
Josh Shapiro. And did you see the video? I think
we had it at one time several months ago, Dan,
she spoke to some I think campaign workers in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Her hair was disheveled, she was luring her words. You
remember that one.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, I mean it just stands as the son of
an alcoholic.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I can tell you that that looked a little peculiar.
Not drying any conclusions or anything, but we never really
got to fully enjoy this one I know is your
favorite dance. I want to play it, but it's timely
because of the season.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
And this would have worked so well in so many ads.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
And when we all sing happy tunes, I sing Merry
Christmas and wish each other merry Christmas.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
These children are not going to have a merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
How dare we speak merry Christmas? How dare we?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Or Joy takes so many different forms, doesn't it? And
and isn't that one of the ironies? And I know
everybody already knows this, but I'm so glad to see it.
The joy was in the Trump campaign, I mean, which
which brings us back to some more ways to make
tomorrow successful and fun, even with your liberal relatives at
the Trump dance, right, because everybody can do it, yes,
(26:25):
and and so you can work that in in a
thousand different situations like tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Okay, you get the yippie nephew.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Okay, he arrives at the front door, he's all grunged out.
We don't have one of these, by the way, I'm
just imagining somebody who does.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You don't know what a yippie is? Okay, Okay, arrives
at the front door.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
He knows more than anybody, right he and and you know,
but they're the fund way, the man bun. They're these subtle,
funny smells like skunk. You know that there are these
subtle ways you can do it. So you get to
the front door, and then you just do the quick
Trump dance proof, you know, because everybody can do it.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
It's just like you know, I think it's contagious.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
A right jab, a left jab, and then just mix
a little into the Thanksgiving you know song list, a
little YMCA because I guarantee you you you pump a
little YMCA into that dining room, you know, during dinner,
and then you're gonna have even the lefties are kind
of just instinctively gonna start doing the Trump dance.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I mean you can't not.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Just by playing that song or hold on on Coming
by Sam and Dave.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
The message is set. People know what those songs mean.
At this point, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Got to be the YMCA. Well the other that's another
great way to celebrate. Just put an American flag out, right, Yeah, yeah,
Just put the American flag out Because the left now
views the American.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Flag as a.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Sign of far right extremism, right, I mean, that's how
far gone there. But I'm just talking about fun, subtle
ways that don't ruin the dinner. Yeah, eight five five
for zero five A two five five Do you want
to get to some of these texts? So if you've
got some good Kamala jokes, because that's nobody's gonna get
upset about good Kamala jokes tomorrow, and other ways to
(28:17):
just sort of work your your message in with a
little bit of humor, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
And there are ways, like I suggested earlier. Yeah, okay,
whether it's the could be the green beats. Ooh you
sure make those green beats great again. You know, they're
just those little ways.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
We've got other news we need to talk about also
eight five five for er a five eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Text d A N five seven seven three.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Nine And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcasts.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
When we need the webcam. It's like thirty bucks, why
don't we have money?
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Look a good dam don't you a dead man can
do this dance?
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Joe Biden?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, Biden could do it. He voted for Trump. He
might as well do the dance, you think He.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
And doctor Jill Biden behind the scenes of Dundas dance
like having fun with it because they are glad.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Kamal alas, I can absolutely picture that, totally picture it
and think about it before we go back to the
phone lines. You're trying to talk about how to navigate
tomorrow if you've got lefties entered Thanksgiving table and who
doesn't and in a fun way, and texture doesn't like it,
she says, Dan Kamala jokes on Thanksgiving Day is a
(29:32):
terrible idea. We really don't need more antagonism right now.
Please rethink this. We were taught never to gloat when
we win and never to whind when we lose. Now
the last part, thousand percent agreement why I was to see,
let's see.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
That's how we can do it tomorrow. Keep it light.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But I was taught from the time I was a
little kid. Yeah, you know, the winner is more than
who has the highest score on the board. You have
to conduct yourself like a winner. In fact, that was
part of my dad's toast at our wedding reception. He
was my best man when Amy and I got married,
And that's what we were taught from when we were
little kids. I'm with you, one thousand percent on that,
(30:10):
and I've always.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Practiced it, and so I get that.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
No, I'm not talking at all about any kind of
gloating tomorrow. No, No, I'm talking about being honest about
the fact that we're all human, and being realistic about
the fact that this close to the election, most consequential
election of our lifetime, that we won, and then obviously
there'll be some adult beverages tomorrow, and just being realistic.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Something's going to work.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Its way in so let's just have fun with it,
do it in a humorous way. That's all I'm saying.
But to your point about Biden, as I go back
to the phone lines in these great texts every day,
I tried to add one profound observation, you know, beyond
the obvious, something that maybe isn't being talked about many places.
(31:03):
And I think what that is right now is that
one of the many great accomplishments of Donald Trump with
this victory is this is the end of the Obama era. Now,
it doesn't mean that he's going to disappear or won't
have an impact or this or that, but in terms
of Barack Obama having some kind of dramatic, dynamic impact, no,
(31:26):
I think this ended that still relevant and important, yes,
but not the king maker. And it's to the point
you made a second ago. Ryan, think about it. Joe Biden,
you know, for his deep cognitive decline. Somehow Biden and
the people around him were able to And I think
it was the people around him, because we all know
(31:47):
Joe Biden didn't write that letter, you know where he
rescinded his Democratic nomination. Somebody else put that together, obviously,
but whoever was making those calls, they completely maneuvered Obama
because there's there's no doubt you know, it was Obama
spearheading this effort to get Biden out and replace him.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
And he succeeded.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
But then the people around Biden completely outflanked him and
immediately inserted Harris through a Biden endorsement, to make sure
Obama would lose and all the people who deposed Biden
would lose. So it was one of the most brilliant
political plays we've ever seen by an otherwise decrepit failed administration.
(32:32):
But thank god they did it. Thank god they did
it because she was just not going to win and
it lets Trump start with a big head of esteem.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Now, Dean and Arvada. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Welcome Hey Dan, get afternoon and then the Happy thanks
Giving you too much. I wanted to say one thing,
all Varry Mike's this thing, because how dare him have
a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow? And how dare him have a
merry Christmas?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Kamala Harris?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Oh yeah, oh yeah no, And I'm suppose you haven't
heard from area for a few days.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Yeah, go ahead, funny.
Speaker 14 (33:08):
I wanted to ask all this like last I don't
know year, year and a half, two years they've been
calling Trump Hitler, fascist, Marxist, I mean, just derogatory defamation names.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Doesn't have a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Can he sue for that?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh listen, not for that, but he can sue for
certain other things. And I've volunteered on air to represent
him for free in a lawsuit against Jim Acosta CNN
when Acosta went on air yeah and said that Trump
had called for the execution of Liz Cheney. I mean there,
even though you're a public figure, there are still lines.
And yeah, so to be interested to see if he
(33:46):
pursues any of that, my friend, thank you Dean for that.
We're up against a hard network break coming up here.
But yeah, be interesting if he pursues any of that.
I'm not predicting that. I think he's gonna have his
hands full. And I hate to talk about anything serious
on this Wednesday before or Thanksgiving, one of the happiest
times of the year for so many people because so
many foot just being together with family tomorrow and then
(34:07):
some people have the four day weekend and watching the
just as ashe's time that, yeah, that could certainly happened. Certainly,
just say that because you grew up a Barris fan,
I know, Dan, oh yeah, yeah. But but all in
obviously for many moons with the Broncos. But it is
fun to see the Lions resurgence, and you know, we
all like to be proven, right. Caleb Williams, I don't.
(34:30):
I wish him very well, but I just don't think
he's a winner. You know, quarterbacks especially, it's everybody gets
all caught up in you know, height, weight and all
these different metrics when it comes to quarterbacks, more so
than any other position in any other sport, it's about
that X factor. Who's a winner, who's a winner, who's
a leader. And yeah, he's obviously got it. T Bow
(34:52):
had it Nix has it, Shador Sanders has it. You know,
you got some people have it, and then you get
all these five Stars and you get all these people
who have all the tools.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
But they don't have the heart.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
They don't have that X factor, and Caleb Williams is
just maybe that can change over time. And nobody in
our audience cares about Caleb Williams, including me. So I'm
going to stop all that right now. But I do
in the five and I'm sorry to get serious about something,
but we have this obviously coordinated attack trying to terrorize
a large group of Trump nominees. What do you think
(35:23):
that portends for what is to come and what's the
best response to that.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
