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. It'll be a
never ending fight, right, That's all of human history, this
ongoing battle between right and wrong, between good and evil,
(00:21):
but so much winning. Now you have to wonder if
the President's going to get tired of winning. Certainly not tonight.
I can't remember looking forward to a State of the
Union more. I'm sure I did at some historic point
in the past. But this is going to be so
good tonight, right, Because obviously this is a man in
a hurry. He's had four years to think about a
second term. He was miraculously saved from death in that
(00:45):
field and Butler, and so he's a man in a hurry.
So I don't think he's going to be saving the
good stuff for years two, three, or four. I think
we're going to see a show tonight, and I personally
cannot wait. Now. I bet there'll be some major surprise, right,
It's you just have that feeling.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It's in the air.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Three h three someone three eight two five five of
the number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Lots of ground to cover, including John Nick Andlooper, who
is up for reelection in this cycle, pulling another doozy
today and voting against the bill that just would have
said men can't play women's sports and boys can't play
girls sports, and Hick and Looper talking about the ad
(01:23):
that may well have decided the election in Trump's favor
that just talked about no, no, we can't be going
down this transcenity road. Hick and Loooper coming out and saying, quote,
I saw the ads. I think that's the kind of
ad that works once. I don't think it will work again.
So yeah, listen, he has a big leg up in Colorado,
but it's still possible. So he's acting like a man
(01:47):
who feels that electorally he can't be touched that no
matter what he says or does, he will win re election.
Maybe he's right, but I think there's an opening there. Hey,
speaking of that, I know that you probably won't like
to hear this, And if you think I'm wrong, I
sure hope you point out to me where you can
do that. Three h three somen win three eight two
(02:07):
five five or text d A N five seven seven
three nine. But as you know, I think Mike Johnston
has been a horrific mayor for Denver, a really bad
mayor for Denver. And one of the most disappointing things
for me is a guy who has liked him personally
over the years, is I think he's become at times
extremely deceptive, and that says disappointing to me, as as
(02:31):
some of.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
These horrible policies. But here's the point.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Tomorrow he's going to be testifying before Congress along with
other mayors on sanctuary cities, and there's been a lot
of hype surrounding this hearing.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
He's going to be there with Eric Adams, Michelle wou
of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, and you know they
this House Committee Oversight and Government Reform has really focused
a lot of attention on this hearing, and to me,
that's a mistake because the very format of this hearing
(03:11):
I think will prevent the House Committee from pursuing its
very admirable goal. And the House Committee's goal, obviously is
to explain sanctuary cities and how so many of their
policies are illegal, and they're getting so many innocent people
raped and murdered and violated in many different ways, and
(03:31):
that's an important mission they're on. But this kind of
hearing is set up for success for the people who
are engaging in these awful policies.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And here's why. First of all, even if it was just.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
One on one with Mike Johnston, Johnston would still have
the upper hand overwhelmingly because there is no judge, it's
not a courtroom, and each of the questioners has a
limited period of time, so all Johnston has to do
is filibut. And Mike Johnston, in my opinion, has proven
he is willing to just say things that are untrue,
(04:06):
which makes it even easier to filibuster because he can
just make stuff up.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
So no matter how good.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The questionnaire, and there are going to be some very
good questioners, Lord Bolbert Gabe Evans, there'll be some very
good questioners, but they're still stuck in this lousy format
where you just have a few minutes, there's no judge
to order the witness to answer the question, and Johnston
can lie and filibuster his way through then to make
matters worse for truth justice in the American way, you
(04:33):
throw all these other mayors in there.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Now. I understand they did that for TV.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Ratings because how many people in America would care about
lawless Mike from Denver. But by doing that, you dilute
it even further because there'll be so little time to spend.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
On each of these mayors.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
So, in terms of what you want and what I
want everythinking person wants, which is to hold their feet
to the fire, that cannot happen in this format tomorrow.
And that's really disappointing, really disappointing. So I just want
to give you heads up that if you're looking forward
tomorrow because you want some truth justice in the American way,
(05:11):
it's going to be the opposite.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I have a texture who.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Disagrees, and I'm sure we'll get some calls and texts
and along the same lines. And he says, Dan, my brother, Wow,
I disagree with you on saying Mayor Mike Johnson will
shine tomorrow. That dude, Mike couldn't shine if he used
all of Puff Diddy's baby oil. Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That from Eric.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Listen, this isn't about Mike Johnston being good. This is
about the format handing him a victory in advance. That's
why he's going to shine, because the expectations are he's
going to get walloped, but the format is set up
so he really can't be.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And I'll give you one example. You know, look at.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The big Wall Street Journal piece today featuring lawless Mike meet.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
The mayor going ahead toad with Trump on immigration. Denver's
Mike Johnston.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Who once promised to defy federal immigration actions even if
it meant going to jail, will face Congress as it
probes quote sanctuary cities. So even in the Wall Street Journal,
he's being made out to be some kind of hero,
and the formats set up in such a way they
can't lay a glove on. I'm on top of that,
he's spending up to two million of taxpayer money to
(06:25):
have fancy Democrat lawyers in DC prepare them, and for
more than that, I believe. I think Denver is very
concerned about its exposure beyond tomorrow. So anyway, I don't
mean to be a buzzkill, but I've always told you
the truth, and the truth is this is a gift
to Mike Johnston tomorrow. I would love to see the
day we're in connection with some kind of legal matter.
(06:48):
He and others responsible for Sanctuary City had to walk
into a real courtroom with a real judge in a
real fair process and answer good, tough questions under oath.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
But that ain't gonna happen tomorrow, alrighty Ryan?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Any flaw in that logic before we move on to
other fascinating topics today.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
What I'm really looking forward to it and I'm going
to try to be stealth Dan, And if it happens
in time, I'm anticipating it'd be like late morning for
us perhaps to turn that around. Get that audio from
Mike Johnston's testimony predominantly with Representative Lauren Bobert and Representative
Gabe Evans. Evans scheduled to join the program on Friday.
We're working on Lauren actually for tomorrow, and that would
(07:31):
have to mean that the hearing got over in time.
But I like how Representative Bobert has handled herself and
some pretty adversarial Oh she'll do great question and answer sessions,
and if she can cut to the chase, cut them off, it's,
you know, reclaim her time that sort of thing, and
read herrect You.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Have some of the best impressions I have ever heard.
She'll be great, Gabe will be great, as great as
the format allows. But you could exzoom Clarence Darryl right.
You could put the five best trial lawyers in the
history of the world in there tomorrow, and they could
not lay a glove on him. You know why because
they get five stinking minutes and there's no judge to
(08:10):
order the witness to answer the question. And that's why
you cannot lay a glove on in this format. Now
you know what they should have done. They should have
called him in alone, and they should have given every
questioner ten to fifteen minutes, and they should have every
time he begins to lie to fill a buster jump.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
In and correct him. That would be a meaningful hearing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It still wouldn't be his court, but at least as
good as court, but at least it'd be a chance.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Could they do that in a skiff where they have
sometimes that testimony it's not for public consumption.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
They do it behind closed doors.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, but then what's the point right back?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I know, But here is my If they did it
the way that it could be effective, he wouldn't go.
The only reason he's going is he knows they can't
lay a glove on him because house of the format.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
How much better off do you think Mayor Mike Johnston
is going to be having that two million dollars spent
for the law firm to consult him on his answers.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Hadn't had that.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Honestly, because the format is so bad tomorrow. I don't
think he has to spend any of that for tomorrow.
But I think that money's being spent long term because
I think they're concerned about the Justice Department coming after
them for these policies, claiming that these policies, you know,
violate federal law by interfering with law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
That would explain the city Council issuing I statement today
supporting Mike Johnston and their policies.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
They're sanctuary policies.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Let's call them what they are in Denver, even though
they're running away from that word now, sanctuary.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
They don't like using it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I haven't heard that many folks suspected of doing something
wrong saying we're guilty. I mean, it's always we're innocent, right,
But we're innocent. So we're going to spend millions of
your hard earned taxpayer dollars to get this big fancy, DC.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
If offering sanctuary to illegals is such a good thing, Dan,
why have they abandoned the term sanctuary a lot?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
For the same reason they've abandoned the term abortion right
because everybody knows it's wrong, so you have to call
it something it's not right, So they can't say abortion anymore.
So it's oh, reproductive rights, but it's still yeah, they're
the right to kill that child because everybody knows at
this point, everybody's in an altar sound abortions killing a child.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
You're on the Dan Capler Show.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
The President Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities. Re
Armed Europe could mobilize close to eight hundred billion euros
of defense expenditures for safe and resilient Europe. We will
(10:51):
of course continue working closely with our partners in NATO.
This is a moment for Europe and we are ready
to step See.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is the brilliance of Trump, right, This is the
kind of shifting of the tectonic plates that needs to
happen worldwide further to be world peace and safety and
a great America because Europe, you know, America saved Europe.
And obviously a lot of brave Europeans fought without America.
(11:21):
They in the whole world plunge into darkness during World
War Two. But America saved Europe. But now Europe should
be able to save Europe. So when Evo goes on
the march like Putin, and there is a guilty party
here and there's an innocent party. The guilty party is Putin.
The innocent party is Ukraine. And it doesn't mean everybody
in Ukraine is perfect or everybody in Russia is satan,
(11:43):
not at all, but it means Putin is Satan, and
Putin is guilty and Ukraine is innocent.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And so when.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Evil goes on the march in Europe and Europe has
the capability of standing up for itself and winning, which
it had here, and then decides it's not going to fight,
then it is not up to the United States of
America to go in and bail out Europe.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Europe is capable of defending itself here and chose not
to fight. As somebody said, Ukraine needed warriors from Europe,
it got cheerleaders. So Trump has done absolutely the right
thing and say no, no, you know, we either need
a piece here or Europe you need to stand up
and fight this war.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And so now to hear after Trump, you know, stood
strong on Friday, and it was Selinsky you launched this
assault on Friday. And I praised Zlensky before, and there
are praiseworthy things about Selensky, but there are things that
deserve to be criticized. And Friday was an abomination, and
thank goodness Trump stood up. And then part of the
(12:52):
response to that is now Europe saying, uh oh, oh,
you know, we better do now what we should have
done a long time ago. So I don't think that'll
actually play out here. I think what'll play out here
that's just posturing for a deal. You know what'll play
out here is that a deal will be cut. It'll
be cut because of Trump's leadership, that bloodshed will end. Unfortunately,
(13:14):
Putin will gain some territory, which you shouldn't. But that's
not Trump's fault. It's Europe's fault for not stepping up
in the beginning and for not now being willing to
put boots.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
On the ground and fight for Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
In Ukraine height five five for zero five A two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Want to just get you some fun sound.
It'll put a smile on your face. Here's Stephen A.
Smith putting Joy Bahar in a body bag on her
own show. As someone said, quite accurately, I don't think
you've heard this before listening. The point isn't that Behar
(13:48):
is some kind of intelligent commentator, et cetera. You know
she's She's not, obviously, but I admire Stephen A. Smith's courage.
He's sitting right next to her Andy very calmly speak.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Truth to her, which you rarely see on that show.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
It's only been in office for six weeks.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Seems like six years, doesn't it. And he's been going around.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
With his cronies touting his so called lan lamdslawd and
blowout win. But he won the popular vote by one
point five percent, one of the smallest ever, and he
won the general election by less than fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So what kind of mandate is this?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Really?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It is a.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
Mandate, and I'm going to explain why, and I don't
mind the question, but let me be very clear. I'm
no supporter of Trump. I'm a supporter of truth in
the facts, and here's the facts. The man won every
swing state. He increased in terms of his voter turnout
in his favor. From the standpoint of blacks, Latinos, and
young voters, he increased his numbers in that regard. From
twenty twenty, eighty nine percent of the county shifted to
(14:47):
the right.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That's a mandate.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
We can set up being a play around all we
want to. In twenty twenty, the Trump didn't win.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The popular vote.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
He didn't win the electoral college vote. A matter of fact,
the Republicans had won the popular vote if I remember
two thousand and four, but they did this year, So
twenty years after they last won the popular vote, they
wanted the popular vote, They won the electoral college vote.
The mayor won every swing state, and on top of all,
eighty nine percent of the counties shift against I don't
(15:17):
understand how people can look at that and say there's
no mandate.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
There's a mandate.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
That's a different definition of a mandate.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I thought the problem is a demo party. You lost
forty nine point eight percent to forty eight point three percent,
and you're looking at that one point five percent. That's
an excuse for you to say what we did really
wasn't that bad. We should continue to do that. No,
that does, don't continue to do it, find.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
A new strategy.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I admire that, not just because he's right, but I
just admire the courage. I mean, how much who would
you say, Ryan, right now? Besides President Trump obviously is
the most courageous person in the Democratic Party, who's the
most courageous person in the Republican Party? Start in Colorado
and then go national open it up as well, DA
five seven, seven, three nine love your thoughts. Obviously, can
(16:03):
always call us three or three seOne three eight two
five five.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Who are those people of courage?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't know that there are a lot of courageous
members of the left who are willing to kind of
speak truth.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Be based.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I mean, I have a feature on my program called
Based Fetterman, John Fetterman, but he's been disappointing lately, just
kind of towing the party line.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
What I hope, though, Dan, what comes out of what
you just played.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I hope the left and Democrats continue to tell themselves
what they want to hear, like Joy Behar just tried
to do. Trump didn't win by that much. It was
only one and a half percent. It wasn't a landslide.
Keep talking yourselves into that, because if they listened to
Stephen A. Smith, now they're on the road to recovery.
Now they're going to find solutions. But until they do,
or unless they do exactly, they're not going to get there.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
They're going to continue to lose.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well, here's the point on the left. Nobody on the
left can be considered courageous unless they first are pro
life right, because that is the absolute starting point litmus test.
So nobody on the left can be truly courageous unless
they're willing to speak the obvious truth. This isn't a
matter of philosophy or religion, it's just basic medical fact.
(17:07):
You know that that abortion is wrong. It's the taking
of an innocent human life. So yeah, nobody can on
the left can be considered courageous unless they are willing
to speak that truth. And then who on the right again,
besides Trump, would you consider courageous? I think there are
some out there, But that was courageous there, right, because
(17:27):
he's sitting right there next to her and he just
said it the way it was and he did it
very effectively. This text every now and then well, about
once a day we get a text that makes zero
sense to me. This texter says, Dan lesbians need to
be banned from women's sports. They are not normal and
are a danger in locker rooms and showers.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
See.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
To me, that is so far off base, and that's
not to endorse or encourage lesbianism.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That's not the point.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
When you talk about men in women's showers and bathroom
men in women's sports. That that is a one hundred
to zero issue, no conceivable justification though John Hickler for
Today voted for it. But would you agree with this
texture because I sure don't. You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
We continue to set tourism records. Twenty twenty four saw
more than one hundred and forty two million visitors come
to the state of Florida. This includes three point three
million visitors from Canada. That's not much of a boycott
in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse
of what a Stanley Cup winning hockey team actually looks like.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You runing f it right there, So Matt I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
For for Trump's state in the Nation tonight, right, because
he's a man in a hurry and he gets it right.
He's not going to wait till next year for the
good stuff. So I bet there's some surprise tonight. That's
just his moo, right. So that there's been some speculation,
no reliable reporting, that they'll announce that Zelenski has signed
(19:02):
the minerals deal. I'm not predicting that, but there's some
speculation out there on that, or that an agreement's been
reached on some tariffs whatever. None of that at this
point can be assumed. But you know, with President Trump,
there's going to be some really cool surprise.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So yeah, I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Three h three someone three eight two five five texts
DA N five seven seven three nine will go to
the phone line shortly. If you just joined us, thank you.
Talking about a bunch of different stuff. I'll give a
quick recap, rapid fire jump in on whatever you want
locally talking about lawless Mike Johnston on the Hill Tomorrow
House Oversight Committee, along with multiple other mayors supposedly you know,
(19:41):
being grilled on sanctuary city. The problem is the format
is such that it's going to be easy for Johnson
to skate and it's going to be impossible to pin
him down because there's no judge who can order and
answer questions, and each witness only gets five minutes. So tomorrow, unfortunately,
is a gift to Johnston, which is really sad because
(20:03):
he's doing and all of these lefties behind Sanctuary City
are doing so much harm in this city.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Brian and Arvada, you're on the Dame Caplis, She'll welcome
Dan Well.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Stephen A just took Joy Behart to the woodshit. And
you know, there is nobody on the left speaking truth
except for Steven A. Smith. He claims he's he's a Democrat,
he says he is, but he he he'll tell the truth.
And I admire that, whether I agree with his policies
or not. And then we know Trump, and I think
(20:34):
jd Vance is out there telling the truth now under
the Trump platform. I think Drake jd Vance would be
telling the truth if Trump wasn't on the ticket, or
if Trump wasn't around. So I think those three are
the only ones out there telling the truth. And God
and God bless him. And I hope stephen A runs.
You know, he said he is, but I hope he
(20:54):
is because the left needs to hear the truth. And
and I'm kind of like with your producer, maybe maybe
I don't want them to tell the truth, because then
they might have to look, they might have to look
in the mirror and make changes.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
What do you think, Well, there's.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No danger of the left telling the truth, right, because
that the modern Democratic Party is not organized around any
true principles. There are a collection of special interest groups
organized to get and keep power. So they are literally
as a mechanism. They're incapable of telling the truth because, Brian,
the first truth they would have to tell is the
(21:28):
most foundational truth, right, and because without this truth, nothing
else matters. The first truth they'd have to tell is
that abortion is the taking of an innocent human life.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And they will never tell that truth.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And so as a result, you know, because they would
fall apart at that point. Right that their party is
largely based around abortion and around selling out the interest of.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Kids to the teachers' unions.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I mean, that's where they get most of their boots
on the ground, most of their money. So they'll never
speak the truth about abortion, they'll never speak the truth
about school choice. So they are destined to die as
a party politically right, and now it's just a matter
of how long it takes, and some place is longer
than others.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Isn't that the reality from that? Dan?
Speaker 7 (22:11):
No, I do? I didn't think of that. You're right,
A largely their platform exists on lives and falsehoods, and
if they told the truth about it, their platform falls apart.
I guess they really can't tell the truth. They can
tell the truth about us and then they get kicked
out of their party, but they can't tell the truth
about themselves or else they lose their platform.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
And the other thing, Dan, is why is it always
dudes that want to go into men's the walker room?
Why isn't a woman that wants to go and why
is it always a dude, transgender dude that wants to
do that?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You can think of one notable exception to that. But Brian,
hey appreciate the call up, my friend. But here's the
point is, eventually, the American people are telling the truth
for the Democratic Party, and they did it on November
four because the American people see the truth, not all
and not all at once, but enough to make the
difference in the election, and the American people can see
(23:10):
it's absolutely not so to allow men in women's showers
and locker rooms and sports not so stuff. And the
American people can see that truth, even though the Democrats
won't admit it, and the American people voted accordingly. The
American people can see that abortion is the taking of
an innocent human life, and so Americans are not down
(23:32):
for doing that through all nine months. I wish it
wasn't done at all, But so the Democrats are boarding themselves.
So even though the Democrats won't tell the truth, the
American people are telling the truth for them. That is
the steady march of history now. And I think the
big question is it's kind of fun to kick around
over a few beers. Is you know when will that
(23:53):
tipping point come? Because I've said this for almost thirty
years on air, that at the point in time when
a Democrat is more likely to get elected if they
admit that abortion is the taking of an innocent human
life and oppose it, then they'll be pro life. Now
right now, a Democrat isn't going to be elected that
(24:15):
way because they won't get out of the primary. They
won't get out of the primary. But would Democrats win
the general election? Pro life you bet they would, but
again current state of the Democratic Party, they couldn't get
out of the primary. So what you have right now,
and we've never talked about this, I'd love your take
on it. My own basic belief is that if I
(24:36):
had to put a percentage on it, I'd say about
ninety to ninety five percent of all these Democrats who
are so pro abortion absolutely know on every level, starting
with their mind. They absolutely know that abortions s the
wrongful taking of an innocent human life, and they support
it anyway so.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
They can get and keep power. They know it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
They're just willing to sell out all these innocent lives
to get and keep power. I can't believe there's more
than five percent of the elected Democrats who actually believe
that abortion is anything other than wrong.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I think there is a level of cynicism to the
play that they make on that because they have the
cop out answer, Dan, which John Hickenlooper conveniently gave you
that I'm just going to.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Stay out of it.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
It's the one issue that Democrats don't want the government
involved in and telling you what to do. It's like now,
on this issue, total libertarian between a woman and her
doctor whatever they want to do, I'm going to kill
it nine months.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
That's up to them.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
That's between the two of them. I don't want to
have anything to do with that. And it's just such
a cop out answer. It's an intellectually dishonest answer. And
hicken Looper would not give you an intellectually honest answer
to your very valid question, right, And what I've.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Always been intrigued about and listened.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Hey that I'm no biblical scholar, but even I know
that the you know, the reading at Mass last week
was about, Hey, that don't be concerned about the splinter
and the other guys.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
When I've got this big log in my eye. I
get that.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
So I've got all of my own flaws and issues.
But I am absolutely intrigued by how these elected officials
who are are so pro abortioned live with themselves. I'm
just intrigued by that. And because they've got to know,
they've got to know what they're doing, and that they're
supporting mass killing in exchange for political power.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And I've just wondered how they live with that.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Three or three So I went three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Hey, when we come back.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
This is fun, and we'll play a fun bit of
sound from the past. John Nickelooper, up for reelection in Colorado,
pulls another doozy today, comes out and votes in favor
of men in women's bathrooms, and well, let me be
more precise that that's true. By extension, he votes in
favor of boys and men in women's sports. So how
(27:02):
do you think that's going to play in Colorado? Is
he touchable? And then some other related sound of the
day on that. Here's the thing, and it's fun to watch, right,
The Democrats can't get out of this political death spiral
that they are so committed now to this bizarre fringe
position on men and women's sports and by extension, boys
(27:23):
and men in women's showers. They can't get themselves out
of that spiral as the party just rides it right
down the toilet. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We look me and with Devor Mayor, we agree on
one thing. He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing
to put him in jail because.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, but don't get your hopes up for tomorrow because
unfortunately this setting this format on the hill in front
of the Oversight Committee, where you're going to have lawless
Mike Johnston from Denver and a bunch of other mayors
from sanctuary cities. It's set up for failure for the
committee that the questioners don't have enough time. You've got
(28:07):
too many mayors of sanctuary cities there. They'll all just
be able to fill a buster and guys like Mike Johnston,
who I believe just deceives Yeah, you won't be able
to lay a glove on him. And a Congressoman Bobert
will do great questioning, Gabe Evans, some others will do
great questioning. But you could take the best trial lawyer
in history, and if you're only going to give him
(28:28):
or her five minutes with no judge there to force
the witness to answer the question, it's hopeless. So unfortunately
it is set up for failure tomorrow, and a guy
like Johnston will be able to take advantage of that
flawed process and get away with it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That is too bad.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
On a lighter note, we have some fun sound today.
I want to get you a hit or two of that,
and then President Trump tonight. I can't wait for tomorrow's
show because well some of the highlights, and I just
think it's going to be really good tonight. He's a
guy in a hurry, and I bet there's going to
be so big important surprise in there. Is what I'd
like to know Ryan is I'm doing trout prep as well.
(29:07):
So I've got I want to find a great pizza.
Get it by seven o'clock tonight, settle in in front
of the TV, do my stuff. But no, no, she
is going to be on another floor literally same house.
But I am looking for a great pizza our our
Denver studios in the DTSE area.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I'm looking for a great pizza out here. What do
you do? Because you live out here? What do you do?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
And then Adam Kelly's husband just told me about a
place called Kelowna's and I looked over on a wrappo.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I looked up online. They look real good. But you know, Chicago,
I'm not the deep dish guy.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I'm the thin crust, well done New York style, good ingredients.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I like to call it Chicago stuff, but.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
In the Chicago style is the deep day. No, it
isn't that that was a fad. No, I grew up there, man,
pizza that was a fad, that's a marketing thing. Real
Chicago pizza, Cago pizza.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
No, no, oh, wow, you're the first one I've ever
heard say that.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I'm just I grew up there, man, I'm telling you, yeah, naughties,
Come on. I actually flew the guy out at Palermo's
Pizza in Chicago, just the greatest pizza you ever eat
thing Cross Family on the South Side flew Amy and
I flew him out here to see if we could
open some out here. And ye, I didn't understood a
word he said, because he only speaks Italian.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
But we've had a great few days together.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And in the end, what it came down to was
couldn't replicate the pizza here because you couldn't get the
same quality ingredients unless it was thirty bucks of pizza.
Because in Chicago he had more access to that those amazing,
fresh quality ingredients at a lower cost. But but so
if anybody has any suggestions, and if.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You throw out for listeners to react to DTC Slice
that's new that's near Ocean Prime. You got Pudge Brothers.
That's North in the Plaza by La Fagatta. Yeah, yeah,
you got Hey, you got Anthony's. That's what Tom Martinez
swears by it, and he's authentical. That's then too.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Hey, he knows his pizza. Now listen.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I think one of the great pizzas anywhere is Frank's
over on Broadway and great people too. I'm just looking
for something to pick up right here. As I leave
the student Franks.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
On k Dan, there is Marco's Coal Fired and they
have wonderful lemon cello.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Wings you can get as an appetizer.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
They are good over there. I want to deliver on
some of this sound I promised. I don't think it
gets any better today than Steven Smith, just as the
label says putting Joy Baher in a body bag on
her own show.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
It's only been in office for six weeks.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Seems like six years, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
And he's been going around with his cronies touting his
so called lamsaw lamslaw it and blowout win. But he
won the popular vote by one point five percent, one
of the smallest ever, and he won the general election
by less than fifty percent. So what kind of.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Mandate is this really?
Speaker 8 (31:57):
It is a mandate, then, I'm going to explain why.
And I don't mind the question but let me be
very clear. I'm no supporter of Trump. I'm a supporter
of truth in the facts. And here's the facts. The
man won every swing state. He increased in terms of
his vote voter turnout.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
In his favor.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
From the standpoint of Blacks, Latinos, and young voters, he
increased his numbers in that regard. From twenty twenty, eighty
nine percent of the county shifted to the right.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
That's a mandate.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
We can sit up there and play around all we
want to. In twenty twenty, they didn't. Trump didn't win
the popular vote. He didn't win the electoral college vote.
As matter of fact, the Republicans hadn't won the popular vote,
if I remember fety two thousand.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
And four, but they did this year. So twenty years
after they.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
Last won the popular vote, they wanted the popular vote, they.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Won the electoral college vote.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
The man won every swing state, and on top of
the eighty op pericent of the counties shift against I
don't understand how people can look at that.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
And say there's no mandate. There's a mandate.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
That's a of a mandate, I asked.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But the problem is.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
That if you're Democratic party and you lost forty nine
point eight percent to forty eight point three percent, and
you're looking at that one point five percent. That's an
excuse for you to say what we.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Did really wasn't that bad. We should continue to do that. No,
don't continue to do it. Find a new strategy.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, beautifully said by stephen A. So just wrapping it
for today. George Brocklay was on earlier and we were
talking about this, this critically important issue of what happened
to Columbine and the mother's brave fight to get her
daughter back and have the truth told and consequences leveled.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
And she was on with us yesterday. You can get
it on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
But George had this great idea there should be a
grand jury, and you don't see that many grand juries.
But it's such a critical tool for prosecutors because they
can issue subpoenas, get everybody in, and they can use
it to just get all the facts on the table
with that subpoena power under oath. And the community deserves this,
the mother deserves this, but the community needs needs to
(33:57):
have this tool used by the da Alexa King in
Jefferson County to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
How do you think to.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Make sure would feel if George Brockler reached out to
her with that idea or would that be kind of.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Like, well, yeah, I don't think that works right, But
I think it was a brilliant suggestion by George. And
forgive me, did I say, Alexa, that's because of our
Alexa alexis king.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
But there should be a grand jury here, and they're rare.
But I testified to a grand jury. The grand jury
was called to investigate largely an attack on me, so
I remember testifying to a grand jury. It's a very
valuable tool to get to the truth. That was back
in college. That was an experience, my friend. But here
(34:37):
this issue is so important. That's a brilliant suggestion by George.
We need to see that. The community deserves it, the
mother deserves it. Thank you, Ryan, thank you Kelly. Be
with us tomorrow please at four 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. It'll be a
never ending fight, right, That's all of human history, this
ongoing battle between right and wrong, between good and evil,
(00:21):
but so much winning. Now you have to wonder if
the President's going to get tired of winning. Certainly not tonight.
I can't remember looking forward to a State of the
Union more. I'm sure I did at some historic point
in the past. But this is going to be so
good tonight, right, Because obviously this is a man in
a hurry. He's had four years to think about a
second term. He was miraculously saved from death in that
(00:45):
field and Butler, and so he's a man in a hurry.
So I don't think he's going to be saving the
good stuff for years two, three, or four. I think
we're going to see a show tonight, and I personally
cannot wait. Now. I bet there'll be some major surprise, right,
It's you just have that feeling.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It's in the air.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Three h three someone three eight two five five of
the number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Lots of ground to cover, including John Nick Andlooper, who
is up for reelection in this cycle, pulling another doozy
today and voting against the bill that just would have
said men can't play women's sports and boys can't play
girls sports, and Hick and Looper talking about the ad
(01:23):
that may well have decided the election in Trump's favor
that just talked about no, no, we can't be going
down this transcenity road. Hick and Loooper coming out and saying, quote,
I saw the ads. I think that's the kind of
ad that works once. I don't think it will work again.
So yeah, listen, he has a big leg up in Colorado,
but it's still possible. So he's acting like a man
(01:47):
who feels that electorally he can't be touched that no
matter what he says or does, he will win re election.
Maybe he's right, but I think there's an opening there. Hey,
speaking of that, I know that you probably won't like
to hear this, And if you think I'm wrong, I
sure hope you point out to me where you can
do that. Three h three somen win three eight two
(02:07):
five five or text d A N five seven seven
three nine. But as you know, I think Mike Johnston
has been a horrific mayor for Denver, a really bad
mayor for Denver. And one of the most disappointing things
for me is a guy who has liked him personally
over the years, is I think he's become at times
extremely deceptive, and that says disappointing to me, as as
(02:31):
some of.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
These horrible policies. But here's the point.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Tomorrow he's going to be testifying before Congress along with
other mayors on sanctuary cities, and there's been a lot
of hype surrounding this hearing.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
He's going to be there with Eric Adams, Michelle wou
of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, and you know they
this House Committee Oversight and Government Reform has really focused
a lot of attention on this hearing, and to me,
that's a mistake because the very format of this hearing
(03:11):
I think will prevent the House Committee from pursuing its
very admirable goal. And the House Committee's goal, obviously is
to explain sanctuary cities and how so many of their
policies are illegal, and they're getting so many innocent people
raped and murdered and violated in many different ways, and
(03:31):
that's an important mission they're on. But this kind of
hearing is set up for success for the people who
are engaging in these awful policies.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And here's why. First of all, even if it was just.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
One on one with Mike Johnston, Johnston would still have
the upper hand overwhelmingly because there is no judge, it's
not a courtroom, and each of the questioners has a
limited period of time, so all Johnston has to do
is filibut. And Mike Johnston, in my opinion, has proven
he is willing to just say things that are untrue,
(04:06):
which makes it even easier to filibuster because he can
just make stuff up.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
So no matter how good.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The questionnaire, and there are going to be some very
good questioners, Lord Bolbert Gabe Evans, there'll be some very
good questioners, but they're still stuck in this lousy format
where you just have a few minutes, there's no judge
to order the witness to answer the question, and Johnston
can lie and filibuster his way through then to make
matters worse for truth justice in the American way, you
(04:33):
throw all these other mayors in there.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Now. I understand they did that for TV.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Ratings because how many people in America would care about
lawless Mike from Denver. But by doing that, you dilute
it even further because there'll be so little time to spend.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
On each of these mayors.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
So, in terms of what you want and what I
want everythinking person wants, which is to hold their feet
to the fire, that cannot happen in this format tomorrow.
And that's really disappointing, really disappointing. So I just want
to give you heads up that if you're looking forward
tomorrow because you want some truth justice in the American way,
(05:11):
it's going to be the opposite.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I have a texture who.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Disagrees, and I'm sure we'll get some calls and texts
and along the same lines. And he says, Dan, my brother, Wow,
I disagree with you on saying Mayor Mike Johnson will
shine tomorrow. That dude, Mike couldn't shine if he used
all of Puff Diddy's baby oil. Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That from Eric.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Listen, this isn't about Mike Johnston being good. This is
about the format handing him a victory in advance. That's
why he's going to shine, because the expectations are he's
going to get walloped, but the format is set up
so he really can't be.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And I'll give you one example. You know, look at.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The big Wall Street Journal piece today featuring lawless Mike meet.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
The mayor going ahead toad with Trump on immigration. Denver's
Mike Johnston.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Who once promised to defy federal immigration actions even if
it meant going to jail, will face Congress as it
probes quote sanctuary cities. So even in the Wall Street Journal,
he's being made out to be some kind of hero,
and the formats set up in such a way they
can't lay a glove on. I'm on top of that,
he's spending up to two million of taxpayer money to
(06:25):
have fancy Democrat lawyers in DC prepare them, and for
more than that, I believe. I think Denver is very
concerned about its exposure beyond tomorrow. So anyway, I don't
mean to be a buzzkill, but I've always told you
the truth, and the truth is this is a gift
to Mike Johnston tomorrow. I would love to see the
day we're in connection with some kind of legal matter.
(06:48):
He and others responsible for Sanctuary City had to walk
into a real courtroom with a real judge in a
real fair process and answer good, tough questions under oath.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
But that ain't gonna happen tomorrow, alrighty Ryan?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Any flaw in that logic before we move on to
other fascinating topics today.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
What I'm really looking forward to it and I'm going
to try to be stealth Dan, And if it happens
in time, I'm anticipating it'd be like late morning for
us perhaps to turn that around. Get that audio from
Mike Johnston's testimony predominantly with Representative Lauren Bobert and Representative
Gabe Evans. Evans scheduled to join the program on Friday.
We're working on Lauren actually for tomorrow, and that would
(07:31):
have to mean that the hearing got over in time.
But I like how Representative Bobert has handled herself and
some pretty adversarial Oh she'll do great question and answer sessions,
and if she can cut to the chase, cut them off, it's,
you know, reclaim her time that sort of thing, and
read herrect You.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Have some of the best impressions I have ever heard.
She'll be great, Gabe will be great, as great as
the format allows. But you could exzoom Clarence Darryl right.
You could put the five best trial lawyers in the
history of the world in there tomorrow, and they could
not lay a glove on him. You know why because
they get five stinking minutes and there's no judge to
(08:10):
order the witness to answer the question. And that's why
you cannot lay a glove on in this format. Now
you know what they should have done. They should have
called him in alone, and they should have given every
questioner ten to fifteen minutes, and they should have every
time he begins to lie to fill a buster jump.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
In and correct him. That would be a meaningful hearing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It still wouldn't be his court, but at least as
good as court, but at least it'd be a chance.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Could they do that in a skiff where they have
sometimes that testimony it's not for public consumption.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
They do it behind closed doors.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, but then what's the point right back?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I know, But here is my If they did it
the way that it could be effective, he wouldn't go.
The only reason he's going is he knows they can't
lay a glove on him because house of the format.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
How much better off do you think Mayor Mike Johnston
is going to be having that two million dollars spent
for the law firm to consult him on his answers.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Hadn't had that.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Honestly, because the format is so bad tomorrow. I don't
think he has to spend any of that for tomorrow.
But I think that money's being spent long term because
I think they're concerned about the Justice Department coming after
them for these policies, claiming that these policies, you know,
violate federal law by interfering with law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
That would explain the city Council issuing I statement today
supporting Mike Johnston and their policies.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
They're sanctuary policies.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Let's call them what they are in Denver, even though
they're running away from that word now, sanctuary.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
They don't like using it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I haven't heard that many folks suspected of doing something
wrong saying we're guilty. I mean, it's always we're innocent, right,
But we're innocent. So we're going to spend millions of
your hard earned taxpayer dollars to get this big fancy, DC.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
If offering sanctuary to illegals is such a good thing, Dan,
why have they abandoned the term sanctuary a lot?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
For the same reason they've abandoned the term abortion right
because everybody knows it's wrong, so you have to call
it something it's not right, So they can't say abortion anymore.
So it's oh, reproductive rights, but it's still yeah, they're
the right to kill that child because everybody knows at
this point, everybody's in an altar sound abortions killing a child.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
You're on the Dan Capler Show.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
The President Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities. Re
Armed Europe could mobilize close to eight hundred billion euros
of defense expenditures for safe and resilient Europe. We will
(10:51):
of course continue working closely with our partners in NATO.
This is a moment for Europe and we are ready
to step See.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is the brilliance of Trump, right, This is the
kind of shifting of the tectonic plates that needs to
happen worldwide further to be world peace and safety and
a great America because Europe, you know, America saved Europe.
And obviously a lot of brave Europeans fought without America.
(11:21):
They in the whole world plunge into darkness during World
War Two. But America saved Europe. But now Europe should
be able to save Europe. So when Evo goes on
the march like Putin, and there is a guilty party
here and there's an innocent party. The guilty party is Putin.
The innocent party is Ukraine. And it doesn't mean everybody
in Ukraine is perfect or everybody in Russia is satan,
(11:43):
not at all, but it means Putin is Satan, and
Putin is guilty and Ukraine is innocent.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And so when.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Evil goes on the march in Europe and Europe has
the capability of standing up for itself and winning, which
it had here, and then decides it's not going to fight,
then it is not up to the United States of
America to go in and bail out Europe.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Europe is capable of defending itself here and chose not
to fight. As somebody said, Ukraine needed warriors from Europe,
it got cheerleaders. So Trump has done absolutely the right
thing and say no, no, you know, we either need
a piece here or Europe you need to stand up
and fight this war.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And so now to hear after Trump, you know, stood
strong on Friday, and it was Selinsky you launched this
assault on Friday. And I praised Zlensky before, and there
are praiseworthy things about Selensky, but there are things that
deserve to be criticized. And Friday was an abomination, and
thank goodness Trump stood up. And then part of the
(12:52):
response to that is now Europe saying, uh oh, oh,
you know, we better do now what we should have
done a long time ago. So I don't think that'll
actually play out here. I think what'll play out here
that's just posturing for a deal. You know what'll play
out here is that a deal will be cut. It'll
be cut because of Trump's leadership, that bloodshed will end. Unfortunately,
(13:14):
Putin will gain some territory, which you shouldn't. But that's
not Trump's fault. It's Europe's fault for not stepping up
in the beginning and for not now being willing to
put boots.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
On the ground and fight for Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
In Ukraine height five five for zero five A two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Want to just get you some fun sound.
It'll put a smile on your face. Here's Stephen A.
Smith putting Joy Bahar in a body bag on her
own show. As someone said, quite accurately, I don't think
you've heard this before listening. The point isn't that Behar
(13:48):
is some kind of intelligent commentator, et cetera. You know
she's She's not, obviously, but I admire Stephen A. Smith's courage.
He's sitting right next to her Andy very calmly speak.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Truth to her, which you rarely see on that show.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
It's only been in office for six weeks.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Seems like six years, doesn't it. And he's been going around.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
With his cronies touting his so called lan lamdslawd and
blowout win. But he won the popular vote by one
point five percent, one of the smallest ever, and he
won the general election by less than fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So what kind of mandate is this?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Really?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It is a.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
Mandate, and I'm going to explain why, and I don't
mind the question, but let me be very clear. I'm
no supporter of Trump. I'm a supporter of truth in
the facts, and here's the facts. The man won every
swing state. He increased in terms of his voter turnout
in his favor. From the standpoint of blacks, Latinos, and
young voters, he increased his numbers in that regard. From
twenty twenty, eighty nine percent of the county shifted to
(14:47):
the right.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That's a mandate.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
We can set up being a play around all we
want to. In twenty twenty, the Trump didn't win.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The popular vote.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
He didn't win the electoral college vote. A matter of fact,
the Republicans had won the popular vote if I remember
two thousand and four, but they did this year, So
twenty years after they last won the popular vote, they
wanted the popular vote, They won the electoral college vote.
The mayor won every swing state, and on top of all,
eighty nine percent of the counties shift against I don't
(15:17):
understand how people can look at that and say there's
no mandate.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
There's a mandate.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
That's a different definition of a mandate.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I thought the problem is a demo party. You lost
forty nine point eight percent to forty eight point three percent,
and you're looking at that one point five percent. That's
an excuse for you to say what we did really
wasn't that bad. We should continue to do that. No,
that does, don't continue to do it, find.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
A new strategy.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I admire that, not just because he's right, but I
just admire the courage. I mean, how much who would
you say, Ryan, right now? Besides President Trump obviously is
the most courageous person in the Democratic Party, who's the
most courageous person in the Republican Party? Start in Colorado
and then go national open it up as well, DA
five seven, seven, three nine love your thoughts. Obviously, can
(16:03):
always call us three or three seOne three eight two
five five.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Who are those people of courage?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't know that there are a lot of courageous
members of the left who are willing to kind of
speak truth.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Be based.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I mean, I have a feature on my program called
Based Fetterman, John Fetterman, but he's been disappointing lately, just
kind of towing the party line.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
What I hope, though, Dan, what comes out of what
you just played.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I hope the left and Democrats continue to tell themselves
what they want to hear, like Joy Behar just tried
to do. Trump didn't win by that much. It was
only one and a half percent. It wasn't a landslide.
Keep talking yourselves into that, because if they listened to
Stephen A. Smith, now they're on the road to recovery.
Now they're going to find solutions. But until they do,
or unless they do exactly, they're not going to get there.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
They're going to continue to lose.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well, here's the point on the left. Nobody on the
left can be considered courageous unless they first are pro
life right, because that is the absolute starting point litmus test.
So nobody on the left can be truly courageous unless
they're willing to speak the obvious truth. This isn't a
matter of philosophy or religion, it's just basic medical fact.
(17:07):
You know that that abortion is wrong. It's the taking
of an innocent human life. So yeah, nobody can on
the left can be considered courageous unless they are willing
to speak that truth. And then who on the right again,
besides Trump, would you consider courageous? I think there are
some out there, But that was courageous there, right, because
(17:27):
he's sitting right there next to her and he just
said it the way it was and he did it
very effectively. This text every now and then well, about
once a day we get a text that makes zero
sense to me. This texter says, Dan lesbians need to
be banned from women's sports. They are not normal and
are a danger in locker rooms and showers.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
See.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
To me, that is so far off base, and that's
not to endorse or encourage lesbianism.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That's not the point.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
When you talk about men in women's showers and bathroom
men in women's sports. That that is a one hundred
to zero issue, no conceivable justification though John Hickler for
Today voted for it. But would you agree with this
texture because I sure don't. You're on the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
We continue to set tourism records. Twenty twenty four saw
more than one hundred and forty two million visitors come
to the state of Florida. This includes three point three
million visitors from Canada. That's not much of a boycott
in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse
of what a Stanley Cup winning hockey team actually looks like.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You runing f it right there, So Matt I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
For for Trump's state in the Nation tonight, right, because
he's a man in a hurry and he gets it right.
He's not going to wait till next year for the
good stuff. So I bet there's some surprise tonight. That's
just his moo, right. So that there's been some speculation,
no reliable reporting, that they'll announce that Zelenski has signed
(19:02):
the minerals deal. I'm not predicting that, but there's some
speculation out there on that, or that an agreement's been
reached on some tariffs whatever. None of that at this
point can be assumed. But you know, with President Trump,
there's going to be some really cool surprise.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So yeah, I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Three h three someone three eight two five five texts
DA N five seven seven three nine will go to
the phone line shortly. If you just joined us, thank you.
Talking about a bunch of different stuff. I'll give a
quick recap, rapid fire jump in on whatever you want
locally talking about lawless Mike Johnston on the Hill Tomorrow
House Oversight Committee, along with multiple other mayors supposedly you know,
(19:41):
being grilled on sanctuary city. The problem is the format
is such that it's going to be easy for Johnson
to skate and it's going to be impossible to pin
him down because there's no judge who can order and
answer questions, and each witness only gets five minutes. So tomorrow, unfortunately,
is a gift to Johnston, which is really sad because
(20:03):
he's doing and all of these lefties behind Sanctuary City
are doing so much harm in this city.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Brian and Arvada, you're on the Dame Caplis, She'll welcome
Dan Well.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Stephen A just took Joy Behart to the woodshit. And
you know, there is nobody on the left speaking truth
except for Steven A. Smith. He claims he's he's a Democrat,
he says he is, but he he he'll tell the truth.
And I admire that, whether I agree with his policies
or not. And then we know Trump, and I think
(20:34):
jd Vance is out there telling the truth now under
the Trump platform. I think Drake jd Vance would be
telling the truth if Trump wasn't on the ticket, or
if Trump wasn't around. So I think those three are
the only ones out there telling the truth. And God
and God bless him. And I hope stephen A runs.
You know, he said he is, but I hope he
(20:54):
is because the left needs to hear the truth. And
and I'm kind of like with your producer, maybe maybe
I don't want them to tell the truth, because then
they might have to look, they might have to look
in the mirror and make changes.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
What do you think, Well, there's.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No danger of the left telling the truth, right, because
that the modern Democratic Party is not organized around any
true principles. There are a collection of special interest groups
organized to get and keep power. So they are literally
as a mechanism. They're incapable of telling the truth because, Brian,
the first truth they would have to tell is the
(21:28):
most foundational truth, right, and because without this truth, nothing
else matters. The first truth they'd have to tell is
that abortion is the taking of an innocent human life.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And they will never tell that truth.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And so as a result, you know, because they would
fall apart at that point. Right that their party is
largely based around abortion and around selling out the interest of.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Kids to the teachers' unions.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I mean, that's where they get most of their boots
on the ground, most of their money. So they'll never
speak the truth about abortion, they'll never speak the truth
about school choice. So they are destined to die as
a party politically right, and now it's just a matter
of how long it takes, and some place is longer
than others.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Isn't that the reality from that? Dan?
Speaker 7 (22:11):
No, I do? I didn't think of that. You're right,
A largely their platform exists on lives and falsehoods, and
if they told the truth about it, their platform falls apart.
I guess they really can't tell the truth. They can
tell the truth about us and then they get kicked
out of their party, but they can't tell the truth
about themselves or else they lose their platform.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
And the other thing, Dan, is why is it always
dudes that want to go into men's the walker room?
Why isn't a woman that wants to go and why
is it always a dude, transgender dude that wants to
do that?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You can think of one notable exception to that. But Brian,
hey appreciate the call up, my friend. But here's the
point is, eventually, the American people are telling the truth
for the Democratic Party, and they did it on November
four because the American people see the truth, not all
and not all at once, but enough to make the
difference in the election, and the American people can see
(23:10):
it's absolutely not so to allow men in women's showers
and locker rooms and sports not so stuff. And the
American people can see that truth, even though the Democrats
won't admit it, and the American people voted accordingly. The
American people can see that abortion is the taking of
an innocent human life, and so Americans are not down
(23:32):
for doing that through all nine months. I wish it
wasn't done at all, But so the Democrats are boarding themselves.
So even though the Democrats won't tell the truth, the
American people are telling the truth for them. That is
the steady march of history now. And I think the
big question is it's kind of fun to kick around
over a few beers. Is you know when will that
(23:53):
tipping point come? Because I've said this for almost thirty
years on air, that at the point in time when
a Democrat is more likely to get elected if they
admit that abortion is the taking of an innocent human
life and oppose it, then they'll be pro life. Now
right now, a Democrat isn't going to be elected that
(24:15):
way because they won't get out of the primary. They
won't get out of the primary. But would Democrats win
the general election? Pro life you bet they would, but
again current state of the Democratic Party, they couldn't get
out of the primary. So what you have right now,
and we've never talked about this, I'd love your take
on it. My own basic belief is that if I
(24:36):
had to put a percentage on it, I'd say about
ninety to ninety five percent of all these Democrats who
are so pro abortion absolutely know on every level, starting
with their mind. They absolutely know that abortions s the
wrongful taking of an innocent human life, and they support
it anyway so.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
They can get and keep power. They know it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
They're just willing to sell out all these innocent lives
to get and keep power. I can't believe there's more
than five percent of the elected Democrats who actually believe
that abortion is anything other than wrong.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I think there is a level of cynicism to the
play that they make on that because they have the
cop out answer, Dan, which John Hickenlooper conveniently gave you
that I'm just going to.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Stay out of it.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
It's the one issue that Democrats don't want the government
involved in and telling you what to do. It's like now,
on this issue, total libertarian between a woman and her
doctor whatever they want to do, I'm going to kill
it nine months.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
That's up to them.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
That's between the two of them. I don't want to
have anything to do with that. And it's just such
a cop out answer. It's an intellectually dishonest answer. And
hicken Looper would not give you an intellectually honest answer
to your very valid question, right, And what I've.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Always been intrigued about and listened.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Hey that I'm no biblical scholar, but even I know
that the you know, the reading at Mass last week
was about, Hey, that don't be concerned about the splinter
and the other guys.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
When I've got this big log in my eye. I
get that.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
So I've got all of my own flaws and issues.
But I am absolutely intrigued by how these elected officials
who are are so pro abortioned live with themselves. I'm
just intrigued by that. And because they've got to know,
they've got to know what they're doing, and that they're
supporting mass killing in exchange for political power.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And I've just wondered how they live with that.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Three or three So I went three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Hey, when we come back.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
This is fun, and we'll play a fun bit of
sound from the past. John Nickelooper, up for reelection in Colorado,
pulls another doozy today, comes out and votes in favor
of men in women's bathrooms, and well, let me be
more precise that that's true. By extension, he votes in
favor of boys and men in women's sports. So how
(27:02):
do you think that's going to play in Colorado? Is
he touchable? And then some other related sound of the
day on that. Here's the thing, and it's fun to watch, right,
The Democrats can't get out of this political death spiral
that they are so committed now to this bizarre fringe
position on men and women's sports and by extension, boys
(27:23):
and men in women's showers. They can't get themselves out
of that spiral as the party just rides it right
down the toilet. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We look me and with Devor Mayor, we agree on
one thing. He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing
to put him in jail because.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, but don't get your hopes up for tomorrow because
unfortunately this setting this format on the hill in front
of the Oversight Committee, where you're going to have lawless
Mike Johnston from Denver and a bunch of other mayors
from sanctuary cities. It's set up for failure for the
committee that the questioners don't have enough time. You've got
(28:07):
too many mayors of sanctuary cities there. They'll all just
be able to fill a buster and guys like Mike Johnston,
who I believe just deceives Yeah, you won't be able
to lay a glove on him. And a Congressoman Bobert
will do great questioning, Gabe Evans, some others will do
great questioning. But you could take the best trial lawyer
in history, and if you're only going to give him
(28:28):
or her five minutes with no judge there to force
the witness to answer the question, it's hopeless. So unfortunately
it is set up for failure tomorrow, and a guy
like Johnston will be able to take advantage of that
flawed process and get away with it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That is too bad.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
On a lighter note, we have some fun sound today.
I want to get you a hit or two of that,
and then President Trump tonight. I can't wait for tomorrow's
show because well some of the highlights, and I just
think it's going to be really good tonight. He's a
guy in a hurry, and I bet there's going to
be so big important surprise in there. Is what I'd
like to know Ryan is I'm doing trout prep as well.
(29:07):
So I've got I want to find a great pizza.
Get it by seven o'clock tonight, settle in in front
of the TV, do my stuff. But no, no, she
is going to be on another floor literally same house.
But I am looking for a great pizza our our
Denver studios in the DTSE area.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I'm looking for a great pizza out here. What do
you do? Because you live out here? What do you do?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
And then Adam Kelly's husband just told me about a
place called Kelowna's and I looked over on a wrappo.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I looked up online. They look real good. But you know, Chicago,
I'm not the deep dish guy.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I'm the thin crust, well done New York style, good ingredients.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I like to call it Chicago stuff, but.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
In the Chicago style is the deep day. No, it
isn't that that was a fad. No, I grew up there, man,
pizza that was a fad, that's a marketing thing. Real
Chicago pizza, Cago pizza.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
No, no, oh, wow, you're the first one I've ever
heard say that.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I'm just I grew up there, man, I'm telling you, yeah, naughties,
Come on. I actually flew the guy out at Palermo's
Pizza in Chicago, just the greatest pizza you ever eat
thing Cross Family on the South Side flew Amy and
I flew him out here to see if we could
open some out here. And ye, I didn't understood a
word he said, because he only speaks Italian.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
But we've had a great few days together.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And in the end, what it came down to was
couldn't replicate the pizza here because you couldn't get the
same quality ingredients unless it was thirty bucks of pizza.
Because in Chicago he had more access to that those amazing,
fresh quality ingredients at a lower cost. But but so
if anybody has any suggestions, and if.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You throw out for listeners to react to DTC Slice
that's new that's near Ocean Prime. You got Pudge Brothers.
That's North in the Plaza by La Fagatta. Yeah, yeah,
you got Hey, you got Anthony's. That's what Tom Martinez
swears by it, and he's authentical. That's then too.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Hey, he knows his pizza. Now listen.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I think one of the great pizzas anywhere is Frank's
over on Broadway and great people too. I'm just looking
for something to pick up right here. As I leave
the student Franks.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
On k Dan, there is Marco's Coal Fired and they
have wonderful lemon cello.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Wings you can get as an appetizer.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
They are good over there. I want to deliver on
some of this sound I promised. I don't think it
gets any better today than Steven Smith, just as the
label says putting Joy Baher in a body bag on
her own show.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
It's only been in office for six weeks.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Seems like six years, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
And he's been going around with his cronies touting his
so called lamsaw lamslaw it and blowout win. But he
won the popular vote by one point five percent, one
of the smallest ever, and he won the general election
by less than fifty percent. So what kind of.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Mandate is this really?
Speaker 8 (31:57):
It is a mandate, then, I'm going to explain why.
And I don't mind the question but let me be
very clear. I'm no supporter of Trump. I'm a supporter
of truth in the facts. And here's the facts. The
man won every swing state. He increased in terms of
his vote voter turnout.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
In his favor.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
From the standpoint of Blacks, Latinos, and young voters, he
increased his numbers in that regard. From twenty twenty, eighty
nine percent of the county shifted to the right.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
That's a mandate.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
We can sit up there and play around all we
want to. In twenty twenty, they didn't. Trump didn't win
the popular vote. He didn't win the electoral college vote.
As matter of fact, the Republicans hadn't won the popular vote,
if I remember fety two thousand.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
And four, but they did this year. So twenty years
after they.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
Last won the popular vote, they wanted the popular vote, they.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Won the electoral college vote.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
The man won every swing state, and on top of
the eighty op pericent of the counties shift against I
don't understand how people can look at that.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
And say there's no mandate. There's a mandate.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
That's a of a mandate, I asked.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But the problem is.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
That if you're Democratic party and you lost forty nine
point eight percent to forty eight point three percent, and
you're looking at that one point five percent. That's an
excuse for you to say what we.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Did really wasn't that bad. We should continue to do that. No,
don't continue to do it. Find a new strategy.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, beautifully said by stephen A. So just wrapping it
for today. George Brocklay was on earlier and we were
talking about this, this critically important issue of what happened
to Columbine and the mother's brave fight to get her
daughter back and have the truth told and consequences leveled.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
And she was on with us yesterday. You can get
it on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
But George had this great idea there should be a
grand jury, and you don't see that many grand juries.
But it's such a critical tool for prosecutors because they
can issue subpoenas, get everybody in, and they can use
it to just get all the facts on the table
with that subpoena power under oath. And the community deserves this,
the mother deserves this, but the community needs needs to
(33:57):
have this tool used by the da Alexa King in
Jefferson County to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
How do you think to.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Make sure would feel if George Brockler reached out to
her with that idea or would that be kind of.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Like, well, yeah, I don't think that works right, But
I think it was a brilliant suggestion by George. And
forgive me, did I say, Alexa, that's because of our
Alexa alexis king.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
But there should be a grand jury here, and they're rare.
But I testified to a grand jury. The grand jury
was called to investigate largely an attack on me, so
I remember testifying to a grand jury. It's a very
valuable tool to get to the truth. That was back
in college. That was an experience, my friend. But here
(34:37):
this issue is so important. That's a brilliant suggestion by George.
We need to see that. The community deserves it, the
mother deserves it. Thank you, Ryan, thank you Kelly. Be
with us tomorrow please at four on The Dan Kapla Show.
