President Trump expresses frustration with Iran and Israel for breaking a tenuous ceasefire in its early hours by using R-rated language in an interaction with White House reporters. While Dan appreciates the fire, are we better served by leaders who exercise some level of restraint with what they put out into the public sphere - or is casual swearing here to stay?

glad you're here at three O three seven and three
eight two five five the number text d A N
(00:20):
five seven seven three nine. Lots of really interesting questions
for you to chew on with us, several of them
spurred by President Trump's very strong comments this morning. Obviously
these were premeditated, deliberate use of a curse word, the
curse word, in order to convey a message, right, to
(00:41):
have an impact, to make a point, and he was
very effective in doing that. But it does give rise
to the bigger question of whether that word's become too
prevalent in society, whether an American president should not use it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What was the significant threat? And I've been talking about before.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He that's our good friend Tom Hooman. No, and he
did not use that word. I'm pretty darn sure, pretty
darn sure. How about this one?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
We have we basically have two countries that have been
fighting so long and so hard that they don't know
what the they're doing.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You understand that, Yeah, and listen, that was not you know,
the president losing control or anything like that. He walked
out there intending to say that, right, get everybody's attention,
get the attention of the parties whose attention he wanted
to get. And I think he succeeded with that. But
but what about the broader question of language and society.
And again the quick caveat I am no prude. If
(01:39):
we've never met, if you don't know me, anybody knows me,
knows I'm the opposite of a prude.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I wish I was a little more of a prude.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
But the point being that, Hey, I've if there's a
word out there, I've used it right.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Not proud of that, but I have.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And one of the things I admire most about my
dad was that in his entire life I never heard
him swear. Right, lived to be eighty six, never heard
him swear, And so to me that that is a
real point of pride and honor for him. I wish
I could say the same thing myself. But I am
not approved. I'm not offended by those words. All I'm
thinking about are the kids And I just don't think
(02:13):
we as adults should use that word publicly. And then
you know, if hey, what if one of your kid's friends,
you know, your kids, say eighty's ten, she's eleven. What
if one of their friends is using that word, you
wouldn't want them around the friends. So yeah, I don't
think American presidents or any American elected officials should use
that word publicly. Does that change my view that that
Trump is a historically great president. No, But I'm just
(02:35):
being honest about that. And what do you think is
going on in society with language? And why is it coursening?
And is there any way to turn that around? So
that one of the many things they're talking about obviously
we're talking about at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And again, it is.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Like Roadrunner, if anybody remembers that show, it's just like
Wiley Coyote having the anvil dropped on his head over
and over again by the road Runner. These Democrats, every
way they turn, they just make themselves look worse. So
now you've got just this mass celebration on CNN and
MSNBC and in these you hear it in the ABC
(03:10):
News at the top on this show and I don't
know why we have that. We have our local newsroom,
which is phenomenal, then with the AVABC National News, which
is the furthest thing from journalists most of the time.
But they're just so joyful about this leak of a
top secret US intel report. And we haven't seen the
report itself, but as the networks are reporting it that
(03:32):
the Iranian nuclear sites were not obliterated in this attack, right,
and so they just can't help themselves from celebrating that.
They really think that's going to help them rooting against America.
And the truth is that Americans are going to realize
it doesn't matter in the end whether those sites were
obliterated or not. What matters is the US took a
(03:56):
strong step toward preventing around from getting a nuclear weapon.
And you combine that with Israel's brilliance and attacking Iran
and the resolve both countries have shown to prevent Iran
from getting a nuclear weapon, and to whatever extent you know,
these military missions delayed that all of that is a
very very powerful step. There's no sane person who could
(04:18):
have expected that through this military action, Iran would lose
all capacity a tot ever of a nuclear weapon, that
it'd be infantile to think that way because we all knew.
We talked about it weeks ago on the show, years
ago on this show. Okay, you go in and you
do what the president properly did and what Israel properly did,
and that's important. But at the same time, everybody's always
(04:41):
known Iran could just require acquire a nuclear weapon from
another nation. It's just going to be more difficult for
them to do that. And our obligation, that's why we're
put on this earth, is to do everything we can
to stop evil and to slow down evil. And the
fact that there's no silver bullet that makes it all
go away at once is no excuse not to do
(05:02):
what you can.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So, yeah, the left out there celebrating ah Ron's nuclear
sight's not obliterated.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, knock yourselves out. See how that works out in
the next election or with your ratings. I don't know,
maybe though, I don't know how big that Iotola demo is.
Maybe that's the boost CNN's after or the Democratic Party.
How many Iotola votes do you think they can get?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, well, there's a longer I didn't know how to
cut it. But Donald Trump commenting on the exchange between
Caitlyn Collins and Anderson Cooper. We have that sound as well,
but basically Anderson Cooper correcting her in real time as
she went down this primrose path of trying to soft
sell and undermine and downplay Donald Trump's call for a ceasefire, Well,
(05:50):
why don't we savor that?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Sure, now we're hearing incredibly optimistic views coming out of
the White House as far as how long this can
hold and what this is going to look like. That
obviously still remains to be seen on the implementation side
of this, and waiting to see if the firing does
stop and if Iran in Israel do both agree to this,
because you know, speaking of the fluidity of the situation,
it was just twenty four hours ago that President Trump
(06:12):
himself was suggesting a regime change and Iran was a possibility,
and obviously right before that having the United States strike Iran,
and so yes, there have been a lot of phone
calls going back and forth. In part this has to
do with Iran's limited response earlier where they fired on
a US bas in Qatar, but there were no casualties.
We know that they did give a heads up that
(06:33):
they were going to be firing on US Bass without
exactly specifi specifying which ones. But that is the question
here as if the United States felt that it did
not need to respond to the Iranian retaliation, did that
create the space for this? That is what we've been
hearing from administration officials, and so the question is whether
or not this still folds for the next few hours.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Just Okaitlin, I just been getting a word that Iran,
according to a diplomat who briefed CNN, Iran has agreed.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
To the ceasefire. Oops.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
So this is a significant I just want to try
to learn some more information as soon as you get.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It about that.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
But if that is the case, that's incredibly significant because
that is we were waiting. We had not heard from Ron,
we had not heard from from Israel. All we were
going on so far has been the president's social media post,
which was some two hours ago. So again, that is
the first indication we have that Iran has agreed to this.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You know, it's like people who go to Vegas and
they they bet against the table, they bet against the
person throwing the die.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I mean, it's just bad karma. Then you expand it
to like.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Your nation good versus evil, and and you're just disappointed
when good is succeeding.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, not a good look.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And you know, the fake news like CNN in particular,
they're trying to you know, they're trying to say, well,
I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed.
You know what they're doing. They're really hurting great pilots
that put their lives in the line. CNN has scum
and so is MSDNC. They're all and frankly, the networks
aren't much better. It's all fakeders. But they should not
(08:13):
have done that by those pilots hit their targets. Those
targets were obliterated, and the pilots would be given credit.
They're not after the pilots are after me. They want
to try and.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
To meet it. You know, have you noticed this. I'm
sure you have.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Trump is just getting even sharper mentally, and he's getting
even more articulate. I mean, it's a fascinating thing to watch.
I mean, this is a sharper better version of the
Trump who had a very successful first term starting in
(08:48):
twenty seventeen.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Couldn't agree more, Dan, I think his interactions to the
media have really you know, sharpened his focus, sharpened his
steel in a figurative sense, and being ready to combat them.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
He gives as good as he gets.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
He gets better than he gets, and he's seen this
all before, not his first rodeo, and anything the media
throws at him he's ready for. And you're right, he
goes right back at them and he gives them no quarter,
spares none of their feelings. And I think that's what
a lot of us love the best about him.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, and this, this incredible sharpness, to me, shows in
a lot of other ways. I mean it seems like
he has more gears now, right. I mean he certainly
does the combat gear very well, but he has these
other gears also where he can go into a softer mode,
be very controlled, very sharp, very effective. He just he
(09:37):
just seems to be getting better, kind of define the
age thing.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Which is great for the nation, right, and I'm happy
for him.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Three or three seven, three eight two five five the
number text d an five seven seven three nine. Hey,
getting a lot of text and calls on this issue
of profanity and how it's expanding in society and is
that bad?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Why is that bad? Obviously?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I think it's bad for the reasons I've said, But
is there anything we can do about it? What do
you do about it in your circles? And should elected
officials ever use that language? You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
You know we have we basically have two countries that
have been fighting so long and so hard that they
don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
You understand that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
President Trump strong language, strong points, desired impact today three
oh three seven, three eight two five five text d
A N five seven, seventh through nine. The broader question
should American presidents refrain from using the F word publicly
or other curse words? And by raising that question, I'm
(10:50):
not being critical of this president. I'm just saying that
I personally don't think presidents should use the F word
in public. And not trying to be a prude, Texter
says Dan Quit being such a prude. I'm not trying
to be a prude. I don't even know what a
prude is, but I can tell you I'm not one,
and I can tell you anybody who's ever known me
would laugh at the thought that I'm a prude. I'm
(11:13):
just saying it's about the kids. It's not about us.
I mean, I can guarantee you I could get if
you could have aired the commercial breaks and the Capitalist
and Sillman Show. There were times I couldn't even ct
maybe over one hundred uses of that F word in
one commercial break and it wasn't in mutual agreement. Now wow, Yeah,
(11:38):
if you could have aired, that would have been the
number one show in America for one hour until they
could have fired us.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Prude is the root word for prudent, yes, which President
George Herbert Walker Bush was famous for.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Reason wouldn't be prudent out of this juncture?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, and pruden has biblical implications as well, right, which
I yeah, that's a big Oh, that's important. I'm just
saying that I do not ever claim to be holier
than thou or anything like that. I'm just saying, it's
about the kids, right and and yeah, like so much
of this marijuana thing is about the kids. It's never
(12:14):
been on my part. Oh, I object to that adult
using dope in their own home, nothing like that. I
object to people killing people, object to them killing people
because they're high and they drive high.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, I really do object to that. I see those
photos all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I object to that a bunch, and I object to
being killed or everything my loved ones killed by people
or high Yeah, but I really really object to the
way the kids of Colorado are being harmed by legalized
dope and and so to me. Yeah, so much of
this comes back to the kids, including the language stuff.
(12:52):
Three are three someone three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. I wonder
you know everybody has had to face when their kid
first used a curse word, and often they have no
idea what it is, right, Like the first one I
ever learned, I had no idea what the word was.
Some older kids south side of Chicago said, hey, go
tell your mom this.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
How'll that work out for you?
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
If the obliteration didn't happen, I wouldn't be joyous, I'd
be said. It would also mean we have a liar
as a president. Oh that is way, way, way too harsh.
And what we're talking about now is the Left going
out there. They're celebrating this is the greatest day of
their life. Because reportedly, White House says that this assessment
is absolutely wrong, not based on accurate information, but an
(13:36):
internal Administration assessment apparently says the damage was not as.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Great, was not obliteration.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Of course we can know the particulars because we haven't
seen the document. It would not mean in my mind
we have a liar as a president. What does the
word obliteration mean to you? And what does it mean
in this context? So you know, let's talk about that. So, No,
it would not mean to me we have a liar
as a president. I think the president, no matter what
(14:07):
the extent of the physical damage to these facilities, you know,
you have a very very strong argument that for practical purposes,
that nuclear program was just obliterated. Why because the United
States of America, this president proved he would back up
his word and he would go in militarily and do
what it takes to make sure Iran does not get
a nuclear weapon, which he had committed to before, and
(14:29):
then he actually acted on it. That is one way
you can obliterate a program, no matter what the extent
of the physical damage on the ground. You think Iran's
going back to that program right now after the US
has proven it will come in and Israel performed so brilliantly, No,
the chances are very low. No, guarantees, but you can
be pretty darn sure that if they do, then they're
(14:52):
going to face military action again. And I think just
from a common sense standpoint, you have to believe that
in the endimate years, right before all of this is
fully documented, et cetera, that the extent of the physical
damage to these sites that we're attacked is going to
be very large, now, completely wiping out those facilities in
(15:13):
their entirety. No, but I don't think anybody ever expected that.
Dan the president using the afterword is unprofessional in my opinion,
just like when Ryan uses that in a response text
to me on occasion, I think that is also unprofessional.
So lecture him a little too please. But there's a
smiley face on the end.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Is this somebody you know? My friend? I'm sure your
response was well deserved.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Well, you know, yeah, you mess with the bull, you
get the horns, and you get the unfiltered version of
me via tax There's authenticity.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Authenticity is so key, tremendously, so key to everything. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Absolutely, have you ever said a swear word when you
did not intend to?
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Sure? Not on the air?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Not often, And I really try to execute the filter
when the mics are hot, Yeah, well that's the thing
that I was just in marveling about your story regarding
Craig and the breaks.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
I mean, you're live in.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
A studio and sure the mics should be off, but
you know what they tell us, always assume the mics are.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Hot, and they were hot by accident in one break
where you didn't have any of that, but we had
some really entertaining stuff. But think about Craig really total
professional and so we could both just turn it off.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
But also, you know, we the same show.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
We'd get together, our families would made over a California
pizza kitchen and have a great time, and he would
be absolutely wonderful with our kids and me with his
and not a single f word to be heard, So
you know, it was it was contained.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
That's good that it was a contexter.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, I work near construction crews. Those that know me, no,
I don't swear, And as we work more and more together,
the less they do, and then when they do, they
apologize and have never said a word to them.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
See.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
To me, that's a really cool story. And I think
that's just mych more typical of real people in real life,
because there are groups, right Ryan I mean, there are groups.
I'll be in one group somewhere and you know, you'll
hear the F word more times and you can count
it and it's never meant in a bad way or
this or that, and that's fine, and everybody's fine with it.
And then you're in other groups and you can tell
(17:18):
somebody's uncomfortable with it, and it just isn't you. So yeah,
I just I'm just sorry that society is moving more
in that direction again because of the impact on kids,
and really, what's the upside? I mean, and I believe me,
I'm the worst defender. But you know, from the earliest age,
I can remember my mom saying, in addition to the
(17:40):
stuff I've already talked about, it's a sign of ignorance,
you know. From one of my youngest memories is I'd
swear and she'd say to me, it's just a sign
of ignorance. And then I'd get the you're a capitalist,
your better net But that points you made over and
over again, it's just a sign of ignorance. What you
can't come up with better words?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Three out three someone three eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine
When we come back, John Hickeeliffer, Good news is he's alive.
He pulled a very silly stunt, kind of juvenile.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast is to understand.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Enough about the Constitution to the extent that I'm the
one that's supposed to make a decision.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Or at least get a.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
That's Representative Crockett from Texas Democrat. She couldn't even get
her crowd to clap for that. Right, you want her
making that decision whether to use military force against the
Iranian nuclear weapons program? Now, I don't think there's anybody
in her room who wants that. And by the way,
let me get to the phone lines. We have a
great conversation going just about swearing in general and de
(18:53):
WIT's increasing in society and should we be pushing back
against that. But just just a quick historical note for
these line Democrats who are only hurting themselves with their
obvious lies when they claimed Trump lacked a legal authority
to do what he did. He had absolute legal authority,
and he did it very well and for good reason.
But first, this War Powers Resolution of nineteen seventy three.
(19:16):
The left barks about give me a break. I mean
that that broadly requires notifying Congress within forty eight hours
and the use of force must end within sixty days.
So how did he violate that? And then the authorization
for use of military force in two thousand and one,
remember that came in right after nine to eleven. That
sucker right in front of me, I'm reading right from it.
(19:39):
Whereas the president has authority under the Constitution to take
action to turn and prevent acts of international terrorism against
the United States. Yeah, I think the Iranian nuclear weapons
program would apply there. And then a claim, well, Congress
has the ability to declare war, Constitution gives it to him.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
But what you're talking about there, and it's the way
presidents from both parties have interpreted it over the many decades,
is you're talking about, Okay, how long is it, what's
the duration of this, what's the nature of it?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Are you talking combat, boots on the ground, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
So president from both parties have been taking this kind
of targeted action and much broader action without any complaints
in the Democrats. I know, you know that America knows
that it just it is just making the Democrats look
worse and it's hurting them worse. So please Democrats keep
it up, and President Trump keep doing what you're doing. Hey,
let's go to a Kenyan city color. I don't talk
(20:34):
to Dave here on the Dan Kaplo Show. How you doing, Dave,
I'm doing good.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Hey.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
My parents, my dad was World War Two. Dad never
heard him or my mothers swear. So years later I said, well,
why don't you guys swear? He said, because I wanted
to give you kids an alternative to what the norm is. Oh,
I love that possible. And then so the same thing
(21:03):
happened when we raised five kids. We have savage seventeen grandkids.
We just didn't swear when they were being raised. And
I told them the same dang thing. You know that
is sure something that was different.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That is so cool, What a great call. And thank
you for your father's service.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That is so cool.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And as I'm sitting here right now, Ryan, I don't
mean to embarrass our kids. And you know, these are
these are tough kids. They've been in a lot of situations.
I've never heard either of them swear. Really yeah, well
probably I'm the best behavior on you witch. Hey, listen,
I'm not saying they've never sworn.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Respect that. But I'm just saying, I'm trying to think
if I've.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Ever heard my wife swear who I've never sworn around them,
never heard my dad swear. I'd get it all out
when I was in the studio with Craig.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Here, your moms were no.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
So that's more ragious than your dad.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
What sounded much worse than a swear word was Daniel Man.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You heard that?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh yeah yeah, Tracy and Longmont, you're on the Dan
Kaplis Show.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Welcome, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Living to dream? My friend the singing Cowboy? What are
you going to sing today?
Speaker 11 (22:21):
You know what? How about old habits are hard to break?
Bhink Williams Junior love it. I use live savers to
get me all sugarts before you love, I still ha't
found no life saversie I had grown.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
So you see you and oh love your way and
old habits like you or oh Gray.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
And Tracy always hold that and on topic points. So
what you're saying is old habits swearing to break?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Right?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
Well, you know what.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
I'm going to tell you? What means you you hang
on the Bible and I swear to tell the truth
and put the truth.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
So you God.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
So they get into when you when you get in
there and you're on the bench and they put that
Bible opd.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
You tell them f you judge and few lawyers and all,
that's not I'd.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
To see that right. But no, and yeah, they don't
do the Bible anymore in court.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
But I get the point, truce.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Why yeah, no, I'll ask next time. Great to hear
from you, my friend. Thank you, thank you for that
two or three seven three eight two five five text
d N five seven seven three nine Dan law needs
to be changed. If we're going to war, Congress needs
to authorize it in the absence of an imminent threat
to the homeland. Congress needs to put skin in the
game if we're going to put young men's blood in
billions in harm's way. Uh text he I appreciate the thought,
(23:55):
but it would probably cost tremendous devastation in the United
States of Erica to apply that standard. Can you imagine
if presidents from either party you had to go to
Congress to get authority for the type of military action
we just saw. Now, some of these more targeted, shorter
duration actions have been you know, failures that have heard America,
(24:18):
and not because of our tremendous military, but because of
presidents misusing the military. Others have been very wise and
successful and effective, as the mission over the weekend has been.
Regardless of the extent of the physical bomb damage on
the ground, the value of the mission operates on many
different levels. Colonel Curtin Parker, Colorado, if there's one man
(24:40):
on the face of the earth who has a right
to talk about this, it is Colonel Kurt because I
know his story. I've seen the photos, I've seen the
aircraft he used to fly in incredibly dangerous conditions.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So, Colonel, what's your take on all this?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Well, the first I guess we had the conversation in
quite some time go between me, you and Ryan on swearing,
and I told you that it as a young brash
lieutenant in Chyenne, I swore off of profanity, and it's
remained that way. I had a terrible mouth at one
(25:19):
point in time, and at that point I decided never
to do it again because I heard myself and if
I'm man, you're supposed to be somewhat educated, and you
just sort of sound stupid by using so much profanity. However,
I never took the lord's name in vain. And you
all asked me a long time ago how I was
(25:41):
able to choose somebody out as a full colonel, and
I said, extremely effective. I just dropped to almost so
whisper and got right in her face, and it worked.
As far as the strike, and to obliterate. The meaning
(26:02):
of that word is just wipe out. Can they really
function right now? I seriously doubt that they could produce
anything within years with the damage that's been done, and
so the program as it exists today is probably obliterated.
(26:24):
I don't think you have to knock out every small
entity that's here or there. If they got to the
central portion of it, then that was amazing. I saw
three B fifty two salvo on the end of a
mountain and that was about, let's see, the equivalent of
(26:49):
two or three times as much explosive power, but it
was spread out on the surface. This went down and concentrated.
It's just hard for me to believe that something can
penetrate reinforced concrete for two hundred feet and another one
(27:10):
go in and go down another two hundred feet right
on top of it. It's just amazing. But I think
obliteration is probably a perfect word. As far as using
the nasty words. Well, okay, he's from New York and
he is able to be rude and crude if the
(27:33):
situation calls for it, or gentlemanly. He has a broad
expanse of expressions. And I'll just leave it to a month.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Well, and if it was perfect, it would be any fun.
But colonel, you know, I just think about the men
and women who flew the mission this weekend and how
superbly they performed. And the truth is they were standing
on your shoulders and everybody like you who came before,
because you don't get to that level of excellence without
(28:05):
a history, right, and without people like you and the
people before you just setting the standard, the standard for courage,
the standard for technical proficiency, the standard for execution, and
that then becoming the standard.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Right.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
They started developing this sort of stuff during Vietnam with
the ability to use laser and focus in on that,
and it just took bombard but to a whole new level.
Now I call them in air strikes. I never flew
(28:43):
bombers with the weapons on them, but I would call
art stand back and watch that. Well, and the day
that I saw three D fifty two's salvo on the
end of the mountain. It just looked like the end
of that out and essentially disappeared. It was It's amazing
(29:05):
what bomb barback can do. But this uh muckerbasker is
a technology that is just almost impossible for me to imagine.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, colonel, you are being way way too modest and
grateful for the call today and look forward to our
next chat. Thank care, Thank you, sir. That's Colonel Kirkdale.
And you know he is so modest. He was a
guy doing Chuck Yeager like work. I mean, in addition
to many many other military missions in war zones, he
(29:43):
would actually fly. He would do these test flights an
untested aircraft under the most dangerous condition. So this guy
put his life on the line in many different ways.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
We basically have two countries that have been fighting so
long and so hard that they don't know what the
fuck they're doing. Do you understand that.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
It's obviously intentional, deliberate, planned for effect, and it certainly
had that effect. Three or three someone three eight two
five five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
It's triggered this great conversation about swearing and how it's
increasing in society. Should a president ever swear in public?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Et cetera.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Listen, nobody's more fare to the president on air than
I've been more direct, more honest, more balanced, and he's
been historically great. Right, personally, I'd rather our presidents not
use the F word in public. Doesn't make him any
less historically great. But I'm just being honest about that.
My concern is not you and me. My concern is
the kids. I have some great textures I want to
(30:50):
get to, but can never resist a call from Loveland
to Colorado. We won our first softball state championship. Hey, Dan,
can you turn that radio down for a second. That
sounds like a great show.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yes, sir, Yes, Hey, can.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You can you turn that Yeah, I'm gonna put our
friend Dan on hold for a second.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Kelly, can you stand to turn that radio down?
Speaker 11 (31:15):
Lord?
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Public service announcement, all callers, we'd love your calls. Yes,
you must turn your radio down because there's a delay
and you're not going to hear the same thing over
the phone that you hear of the radio.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, that is a great point, Dan, I've listened to
you since capitalists and sobman, you do sound like a prude.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I don't think that's all.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
I don't think it's a negative thing necessarily that you
have prudent like behavior.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Thank you about how you distribute profanity and so.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Forth, you know, Yeah, nothing wrong with that, Yeah, Dan, Dan,
I had my mouth washed out with soap and second
grade by Sister Mary Magdalene was a life I'd want
to verify that story because I had some of the
greatest nuns ever for a lot of years. Never saw
any mouth getting washed out by soap stuff.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
You know what my grandmother did with my dad I've
been told this story is she would sit my dad
and my uncle Dave, who's the younger brother of my father,
back to back in chairs and they both have to
hold pepper.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
On their tongue.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Wow, that's creative.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah, Dan, your mom was wrong. Several studies have shown
that people who use a variety of swear words are
generally of higher intelligence always judge the whole person, not
just their language. Here's my response, how would you describe it?
Speaker 8 (32:27):
I've heard that number one. That's number one.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, I know that was met and an ironic way. Okay,
I would love to see those studies.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Texture.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I don't believe them because I think when my mom said, hey,
that's among other things, that's a sign of ignorance.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
So better than that.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I mean, she's right, you should be able to come
up with other words. Yeah right, just get creative and listen.
The starting point if you just joined us is hey,
I am not perfect on this score. I'm pretty far
from perfect on this score. I just think kids protect
the kids, not having around kids. Never heard my dad swear,
Never heard my mom swear, though we would get on
(33:06):
rare occasion that Jesus, Mary and Joseph, but never heard
her swear never. I don't think i've heard my wife swear.
Never heard either of my kids swear. I've never sworn
around them, though would certainly make up for it during
breaks in the show during the Capitalists in Silverman Days, Dan,
have you ever called a judge honey?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Only judge honey?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I agree presidents shouldn't use curse words in public. I
don't around my grandkids, although I'm glad my parents didn't
swear either, Donna. I think there are an awful lot
of people who would say they never heard their parents swear,
and those who did, I'm sure they don't think less
of them, and they should. I just think it's interesting
where society is going, where it's much more common and permissive,
(33:51):
and I just don't see that being good for kids,
any upside to kids in that.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
No, I did witness the whole lot of swear. I'm
kind of like Ralphie in a Christmas story. My dad
swear words still woven in a tapestry above Lake Michigan somewhere, okay,
And that was in his younger years. He was a
little bit more feisty. He doesn't swear anymore, though, I
haven't heard my dad's swearing a really long time.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, No's I'm glad we had this conversation, and if
you missed it earlier. My key point of the show
is I think President Trump at this point wants the
formal cease fire, distancing himself from what's to come, because
I think a very very strong likelihood that Ayatola Company
is no longer and I don't think Israel is going
(34:37):
to let him continue. President wanting to distance himself from that. Ryan,
great job, Kelly, you as well please join US tomorrow,
This is Dan Capless 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. I'm full display today,
glad you're here at three O three seven and three
eight two five five the number text d A N
(00:20):
five seven seven three nine. Lots of really interesting questions
for you to chew on with us, several of them
spurred by President Trump's very strong comments this morning. Obviously
these were premeditated, deliberate use of a curse word, the
curse word, in order to convey a message, right, to
(00:41):
have an impact, to make a point, and he was
very effective in doing that. But it does give rise
to the bigger question of whether that word's become too
prevalent in society, whether an American president should not use it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What was the significant threat? And I've been talking about before.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He that's our good friend Tom Hooman. No, and he
did not use that word. I'm pretty darn sure, pretty
darn sure. How about this one?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
We have we basically have two countries that have been
fighting so long and so hard that they don't know
what the they're doing.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You understand that, Yeah, and listen, that was not you know,
the president losing control or anything like that. He walked
out there intending to say that, right, get everybody's attention,
get the attention of the parties whose attention he wanted
to get. And I think he succeeded with that. But
but what about the broader question of language and society.
And again the quick caveat I am no prude. If
(01:39):
we've never met, if you don't know me, anybody knows me,
knows I'm the opposite of a prude.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I wish I was a little more of a prude.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
But the point being that, Hey, I've if there's a
word out there, I've used it right.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Not proud of that, but I have.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And one of the things I admire most about my
dad was that in his entire life I never heard
him swear. Right, lived to be eighty six, never heard
him swear, And so to me that that is a
real point of pride and honor for him. I wish
I could say the same thing myself. But I am
not approved. I'm not offended by those words. All I'm
thinking about are the kids And I just don't think
(02:13):
we as adults should use that word publicly. And then
you know, if hey, what if one of your kid's friends,
you know, your kids, say eighty's ten, she's eleven. What
if one of their friends is using that word, you
wouldn't want them around the friends. So yeah, I don't
think American presidents or any American elected officials should use
that word publicly. Does that change my view that that
Trump is a historically great president. No, But I'm just
(02:35):
being honest about that. And what do you think is
going on in society with language? And why is it coursening?
And is there any way to turn that around? So
that one of the many things they're talking about obviously
we're talking about at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And again, it is.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Like Roadrunner, if anybody remembers that show, it's just like
Wiley Coyote having the anvil dropped on his head over
and over again by the road Runner. These Democrats, every
way they turn, they just make themselves look worse. So
now you've got just this mass celebration on CNN and
MSNBC and in these you hear it in the ABC
(03:10):
News at the top on this show and I don't
know why we have that. We have our local newsroom,
which is phenomenal, then with the AVABC National News, which
is the furthest thing from journalists most of the time.
But they're just so joyful about this leak of a
top secret US intel report. And we haven't seen the
report itself, but as the networks are reporting it that
(03:32):
the Iranian nuclear sites were not obliterated in this attack, right,
and so they just can't help themselves from celebrating that.
They really think that's going to help them rooting against America.
And the truth is that Americans are going to realize
it doesn't matter in the end whether those sites were
obliterated or not. What matters is the US took a
(03:56):
strong step toward preventing around from getting a nuclear weapon.
And you combine that with Israel's brilliance and attacking Iran
and the resolve both countries have shown to prevent Iran
from getting a nuclear weapon, and to whatever extent you know,
these military missions delayed that all of that is a
very very powerful step. There's no sane person who could
(04:18):
have expected that through this military action, Iran would lose
all capacity a tot ever of a nuclear weapon, that
it'd be infantile to think that way because we all knew.
We talked about it weeks ago on the show, years
ago on this show. Okay, you go in and you
do what the president properly did and what Israel properly did,
and that's important. But at the same time, everybody's always
(04:41):
known Iran could just require acquire a nuclear weapon from
another nation. It's just going to be more difficult for
them to do that. And our obligation, that's why we're
put on this earth, is to do everything we can
to stop evil and to slow down evil. And the
fact that there's no silver bullet that makes it all
go away at once is no excuse not to do
(05:02):
what you can.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So, yeah, the left out there celebrating ah Ron's nuclear
sight's not obliterated.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, knock yourselves out. See how that works out in
the next election or with your ratings. I don't know,
maybe though, I don't know how big that Iotola demo is.
Maybe that's the boost CNN's after or the Democratic Party.
How many Iotola votes do you think they can get?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, well, there's a longer I didn't know how to
cut it. But Donald Trump commenting on the exchange between
Caitlyn Collins and Anderson Cooper. We have that sound as well,
but basically Anderson Cooper correcting her in real time as
she went down this primrose path of trying to soft
sell and undermine and downplay Donald Trump's call for a ceasefire, Well,
(05:50):
why don't we savor that?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Sure, now we're hearing incredibly optimistic views coming out of
the White House as far as how long this can
hold and what this is going to look like. That
obviously still remains to be seen on the implementation side
of this, and waiting to see if the firing does
stop and if Iran in Israel do both agree to this,
because you know, speaking of the fluidity of the situation,
it was just twenty four hours ago that President Trump
(06:12):
himself was suggesting a regime change and Iran was a possibility,
and obviously right before that having the United States strike Iran,
and so yes, there have been a lot of phone
calls going back and forth. In part this has to
do with Iran's limited response earlier where they fired on
a US bas in Qatar, but there were no casualties.
We know that they did give a heads up that
(06:33):
they were going to be firing on US Bass without
exactly specifi specifying which ones. But that is the question
here as if the United States felt that it did
not need to respond to the Iranian retaliation, did that
create the space for this? That is what we've been
hearing from administration officials, and so the question is whether
or not this still folds for the next few hours.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Just Okaitlin, I just been getting a word that Iran,
according to a diplomat who briefed CNN, Iran has agreed.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
To the ceasefire. Oops.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
So this is a significant I just want to try
to learn some more information as soon as you get.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It about that.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
But if that is the case, that's incredibly significant because
that is we were waiting. We had not heard from Ron,
we had not heard from from Israel. All we were
going on so far has been the president's social media post,
which was some two hours ago. So again, that is
the first indication we have that Iran has agreed to this.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You know, it's like people who go to Vegas and
they they bet against the table, they bet against the
person throwing the die.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I mean, it's just bad karma. Then you expand it
to like.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Your nation good versus evil, and and you're just disappointed
when good is succeeding.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, not a good look.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And you know, the fake news like CNN in particular,
they're trying to you know, they're trying to say, well,
I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed.
You know what they're doing. They're really hurting great pilots
that put their lives in the line. CNN has scum
and so is MSDNC. They're all and frankly, the networks
aren't much better. It's all fakeders. But they should not
(08:13):
have done that by those pilots hit their targets. Those
targets were obliterated, and the pilots would be given credit.
They're not after the pilots are after me. They want
to try and.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
To meet it. You know, have you noticed this. I'm
sure you have.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Trump is just getting even sharper mentally, and he's getting
even more articulate. I mean, it's a fascinating thing to watch.
I mean, this is a sharper better version of the
Trump who had a very successful first term starting in
(08:48):
twenty seventeen.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Couldn't agree more, Dan, I think his interactions to the
media have really you know, sharpened his focus, sharpened his
steel in a figurative sense, and being ready to combat them.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
He gives as good as he gets.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
He gets better than he gets, and he's seen this
all before, not his first rodeo, and anything the media
throws at him he's ready for. And you're right, he
goes right back at them and he gives them no quarter,
spares none of their feelings. And I think that's what
a lot of us love the best about him.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, and this, this incredible sharpness, to me, shows in
a lot of other ways. I mean it seems like
he has more gears now, right. I mean he certainly
does the combat gear very well, but he has these
other gears also where he can go into a softer mode,
be very controlled, very sharp, very effective. He just he
(09:37):
just seems to be getting better, kind of define the
age thing.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Which is great for the nation, right, and I'm happy
for him.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Three or three seven, three eight two five five the
number text d an five seven seven three nine. Hey,
getting a lot of text and calls on this issue
of profanity and how it's expanding in society and is
that bad?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Why is that bad? Obviously?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I think it's bad for the reasons I've said, But
is there anything we can do about it? What do
you do about it in your circles? And should elected
officials ever use that language? You're on the Dan Kapla.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
You know we have we basically have two countries that
have been fighting so long and so hard that they
don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
You understand that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
President Trump strong language, strong points, desired impact today three
oh three seven, three eight two five five text d
A N five seven, seventh through nine. The broader question
should American presidents refrain from using the F word publicly
or other curse words? And by raising that question, I'm
(10:50):
not being critical of this president. I'm just saying that
I personally don't think presidents should use the F word
in public. And not trying to be a prude, Texter
says Dan Quit being such a prude. I'm not trying
to be a prude. I don't even know what a
prude is, but I can tell you I'm not one,
and I can tell you anybody who's ever known me
would laugh at the thought that I'm a prude. I'm
(11:13):
just saying it's about the kids. It's not about us.
I mean, I can guarantee you I could get if
you could have aired the commercial breaks and the Capitalist
and Sillman Show. There were times I couldn't even ct
maybe over one hundred uses of that F word in
one commercial break and it wasn't in mutual agreement. Now wow, Yeah,
(11:38):
if you could have aired, that would have been the
number one show in America for one hour until they
could have fired us.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Prude is the root word for prudent, yes, which President
George Herbert Walker Bush was famous for.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Reason wouldn't be prudent out of this juncture?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, and pruden has biblical implications as well, right, which
I yeah, that's a big Oh, that's important. I'm just
saying that I do not ever claim to be holier
than thou or anything like that. I'm just saying, it's
about the kids, right and and yeah, like so much
of this marijuana thing is about the kids. It's never
(12:14):
been on my part. Oh, I object to that adult
using dope in their own home, nothing like that. I
object to people killing people, object to them killing people
because they're high and they drive high.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, I really do object to that. I see those
photos all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I object to that a bunch, and I object to
being killed or everything my loved ones killed by people
or high Yeah, but I really really object to the
way the kids of Colorado are being harmed by legalized
dope and and so to me. Yeah, so much of
this comes back to the kids, including the language stuff.
(12:52):
Three are three someone three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. I wonder
you know everybody has had to face when their kid
first used a curse word, and often they have no
idea what it is, right, Like the first one I
ever learned, I had no idea what the word was.
Some older kids south side of Chicago said, hey, go
tell your mom this.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
How'll that work out for you?
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
If the obliteration didn't happen, I wouldn't be joyous, I'd
be said. It would also mean we have a liar
as a president. Oh that is way, way, way too harsh.
And what we're talking about now is the Left going
out there. They're celebrating this is the greatest day of
their life. Because reportedly, White House says that this assessment
is absolutely wrong, not based on accurate information, but an
(13:36):
internal Administration assessment apparently says the damage was not as.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Great, was not obliteration.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Of course we can know the particulars because we haven't
seen the document. It would not mean in my mind
we have a liar as a president. What does the
word obliteration mean to you? And what does it mean
in this context? So you know, let's talk about that. So, No,
it would not mean to me we have a liar
as a president. I think the president, no matter what
(14:07):
the extent of the physical damage to these facilities, you know,
you have a very very strong argument that for practical purposes,
that nuclear program was just obliterated. Why because the United
States of America, this president proved he would back up
his word and he would go in militarily and do
what it takes to make sure Iran does not get
a nuclear weapon, which he had committed to before, and
(14:29):
then he actually acted on it. That is one way
you can obliterate a program, no matter what the extent
of the physical damage on the ground. You think Iran's
going back to that program right now after the US
has proven it will come in and Israel performed so brilliantly, No,
the chances are very low. No, guarantees, but you can
be pretty darn sure that if they do, then they're
(14:52):
going to face military action again. And I think just
from a common sense standpoint, you have to believe that
in the endimate years, right before all of this is
fully documented, et cetera, that the extent of the physical
damage to these sites that we're attacked is going to
be very large, now, completely wiping out those facilities in
(15:13):
their entirety. No, but I don't think anybody ever expected that.
Dan the president using the afterword is unprofessional in my opinion,
just like when Ryan uses that in a response text
to me on occasion, I think that is also unprofessional.
So lecture him a little too please. But there's a
smiley face on the end.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Is this somebody you know? My friend? I'm sure your
response was well deserved.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Well, you know, yeah, you mess with the bull, you
get the horns, and you get the unfiltered version of
me via tax There's authenticity.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Authenticity is so key, tremendously, so key to everything. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Absolutely, have you ever said a swear word when you
did not intend to?
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Sure? Not on the air?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Not often, And I really try to execute the filter
when the mics are hot, Yeah, well that's the thing
that I was just in marveling about your story regarding
Craig and the breaks.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
I mean, you're live in.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
A studio and sure the mics should be off, but
you know what they tell us, always assume the mics are.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Hot, and they were hot by accident in one break
where you didn't have any of that, but we had
some really entertaining stuff. But think about Craig really total
professional and so we could both just turn it off.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
But also, you know, we the same show.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
We'd get together, our families would made over a California
pizza kitchen and have a great time, and he would
be absolutely wonderful with our kids and me with his
and not a single f word to be heard, So
you know, it was it was contained.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
That's good that it was a contexter.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, I work near construction crews. Those that know me, no,
I don't swear, And as we work more and more together,
the less they do, and then when they do, they
apologize and have never said a word to them.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
See.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
To me, that's a really cool story. And I think
that's just mych more typical of real people in real life,
because there are groups, right Ryan I mean, there are groups.
I'll be in one group somewhere and you know, you'll
hear the F word more times and you can count
it and it's never meant in a bad way or
this or that, and that's fine, and everybody's fine with it.
And then you're in other groups and you can tell
(17:18):
somebody's uncomfortable with it, and it just isn't you. So yeah,
I just I'm just sorry that society is moving more
in that direction again because of the impact on kids,
and really, what's the upside? I mean, and I believe me,
I'm the worst defender. But you know, from the earliest age,
I can remember my mom saying, in addition to the
(17:40):
stuff I've already talked about, it's a sign of ignorance,
you know. From one of my youngest memories is I'd
swear and she'd say to me, it's just a sign
of ignorance. And then I'd get the you're a capitalist,
your better net But that points you made over and
over again, it's just a sign of ignorance. What you
can't come up with better words?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Three out three someone three eight two five five the

When we come back, John Hickeeliffer, Good news is he's alive.
He pulled a very silly stunt, kind of juvenile.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast is to understand.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Enough about the Constitution to the extent that I'm the
one that's supposed to make a decision.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Or at least get a.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
That's Representative Crockett from Texas Democrat. She couldn't even get
her crowd to clap for that. Right, you want her
making that decision whether to use military force against the
Iranian nuclear weapons program? Now, I don't think there's anybody
in her room who wants that. And by the way,
let me get to the phone lines. We have a
great conversation going just about swearing in general and de
(18:53):
WIT's increasing in society and should we be pushing back
against that. But just just a quick historical note for
these line Democrats who are only hurting themselves with their
obvious lies when they claimed Trump lacked a legal authority
to do what he did. He had absolute legal authority,
and he did it very well and for good reason.
But first, this War Powers Resolution of nineteen seventy three.
(19:16):
The left barks about give me a break. I mean
that that broadly requires notifying Congress within forty eight hours
and the use of force must end within sixty days.
So how did he violate that? And then the authorization
for use of military force in two thousand and one,
remember that came in right after nine to eleven. That
sucker right in front of me, I'm reading right from it.
(19:39):
Whereas the president has authority under the Constitution to take
action to turn and prevent acts of international terrorism against
the United States. Yeah, I think the Iranian nuclear weapons
program would apply there. And then a claim, well, Congress
has the ability to declare war, Constitution gives it to him.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
But what you're talking about there, and it's the way
presidents from both parties have interpreted it over the many decades,
is you're talking about, Okay, how long is it, what's
the duration of this, what's the nature of it?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Are you talking combat, boots on the ground, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
So president from both parties have been taking this kind
of targeted action and much broader action without any complaints
in the Democrats. I know, you know that America knows
that it just it is just making the Democrats look
worse and it's hurting them worse. So please Democrats keep
it up, and President Trump keep doing what you're doing. Hey,
let's go to a Kenyan city color. I don't talk
(20:34):
to Dave here on the Dan Kaplo Show. How you doing, Dave,
I'm doing good.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Hey.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
My parents, my dad was World War Two. Dad never
heard him or my mothers swear. So years later I said, well,
why don't you guys swear? He said, because I wanted
to give you kids an alternative to what the norm is. Oh,
I love that possible. And then so the same thing
(21:03):
happened when we raised five kids. We have savage seventeen grandkids.
We just didn't swear when they were being raised. And
I told them the same dang thing. You know that
is sure something that was different.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That is so cool, What a great call. And thank
you for your father's service.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That is so cool.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And as I'm sitting here right now, Ryan, I don't
mean to embarrass our kids. And you know, these are
these are tough kids. They've been in a lot of situations.
I've never heard either of them swear. Really yeah, well
probably I'm the best behavior on you witch. Hey, listen,
I'm not saying they've never sworn.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Respect that. But I'm just saying, I'm trying to think
if I've.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Ever heard my wife swear who I've never sworn around them,
never heard my dad swear. I'd get it all out
when I was in the studio with Craig.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Here, your moms were no.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
So that's more ragious than your dad.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
What sounded much worse than a swear word was Daniel Man.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You heard that?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh yeah yeah, Tracy and Longmont, you're on the Dan
Kaplis Show.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Welcome, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Living to dream? My friend the singing Cowboy? What are
you going to sing today?
Speaker 11 (22:21):
You know what? How about old habits are hard to break?
Bhink Williams Junior love it. I use live savers to
get me all sugarts before you love, I still ha't
found no life saversie I had grown.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
So you see you and oh love your way and
old habits like you or oh Gray.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
And Tracy always hold that and on topic points. So
what you're saying is old habits swearing to break?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Right?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
Well, you know what.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
I'm going to tell you? What means you you hang
on the Bible and I swear to tell the truth
and put the truth.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
So you God.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
So they get into when you when you get in
there and you're on the bench and they put that
Bible opd.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
You tell them f you judge and few lawyers and all,
that's not I'd.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
To see that right. But no, and yeah, they don't
do the Bible anymore in court.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
But I get the point, truce.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Why yeah, no, I'll ask next time. Great to hear
from you, my friend. Thank you, thank you for that
two or three seven three eight two five five text
d N five seven seven three nine Dan law needs
to be changed. If we're going to war, Congress needs
to authorize it in the absence of an imminent threat
to the homeland. Congress needs to put skin in the
game if we're going to put young men's blood in
billions in harm's way. Uh text he I appreciate the thought,
(23:55):
but it would probably cost tremendous devastation in the United
States of Erica to apply that standard. Can you imagine
if presidents from either party you had to go to
Congress to get authority for the type of military action
we just saw. Now, some of these more targeted, shorter
duration actions have been you know, failures that have heard America,
(24:18):
and not because of our tremendous military, but because of
presidents misusing the military. Others have been very wise and
successful and effective, as the mission over the weekend has been.
Regardless of the extent of the physical bomb damage on
the ground, the value of the mission operates on many
different levels. Colonel Curtin Parker, Colorado, if there's one man
(24:40):
on the face of the earth who has a right
to talk about this, it is Colonel Kurt because I
know his story. I've seen the photos, I've seen the
aircraft he used to fly in incredibly dangerous conditions.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So, Colonel, what's your take on all this?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Well, the first I guess we had the conversation in
quite some time go between me, you and Ryan on swearing,
and I told you that it as a young brash
lieutenant in Chyenne, I swore off of profanity, and it's
remained that way. I had a terrible mouth at one
(25:19):
point in time, and at that point I decided never
to do it again because I heard myself and if
I'm man, you're supposed to be somewhat educated, and you
just sort of sound stupid by using so much profanity. However,
I never took the lord's name in vain. And you
all asked me a long time ago how I was
(25:41):
able to choose somebody out as a full colonel, and
I said, extremely effective. I just dropped to almost so
whisper and got right in her face, and it worked.
As far as the strike, and to obliterate. The meaning
(26:02):
of that word is just wipe out. Can they really
function right now? I seriously doubt that they could produce
anything within years with the damage that's been done, and
so the program as it exists today is probably obliterated.
(26:24):
I don't think you have to knock out every small
entity that's here or there. If they got to the
central portion of it, then that was amazing. I saw
three B fifty two salvo on the end of a
mountain and that was about, let's see, the equivalent of
(26:49):
two or three times as much explosive power, but it
was spread out on the surface. This went down and concentrated.
It's just hard for me to believe that something can
penetrate reinforced concrete for two hundred feet and another one
(27:10):
go in and go down another two hundred feet right
on top of it. It's just amazing. But I think
obliteration is probably a perfect word. As far as using
the nasty words. Well, okay, he's from New York and
he is able to be rude and crude if the
(27:33):
situation calls for it, or gentlemanly. He has a broad
expanse of expressions. And I'll just leave it to a month.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Well, and if it was perfect, it would be any fun.
But colonel, you know, I just think about the men
and women who flew the mission this weekend and how
superbly they performed. And the truth is they were standing
on your shoulders and everybody like you who came before,
because you don't get to that level of excellence without
(28:05):
a history, right, and without people like you and the
people before you just setting the standard, the standard for courage,
the standard for technical proficiency, the standard for execution, and
that then becoming the standard.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Right.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
They started developing this sort of stuff during Vietnam with
the ability to use laser and focus in on that,
and it just took bombard but to a whole new level.
Now I call them in air strikes. I never flew
(28:43):
bombers with the weapons on them, but I would call
art stand back and watch that. Well, and the day
that I saw three D fifty two's salvo on the
end of the mountain. It just looked like the end
of that out and essentially disappeared. It was It's amazing
(29:05):
what bomb barback can do. But this uh muckerbasker is
a technology that is just almost impossible for me to imagine.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, colonel, you are being way way too modest and
grateful for the call today and look forward to our
next chat. Thank care, Thank you, sir. That's Colonel Kirkdale.
And you know he is so modest. He was a
guy doing Chuck Yeager like work. I mean, in addition
to many many other military missions in war zones, he
(29:43):
would actually fly. He would do these test flights an
untested aircraft under the most dangerous condition. So this guy
put his life on the line in many different ways.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
We basically have two countries that have been fighting so
long and so hard that they don't know what the
fuck they're doing. Do you understand that.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
It's obviously intentional, deliberate, planned for effect, and it certainly
had that effect. Three or three someone three eight two
five five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
It's triggered this great conversation about swearing and how it's
increasing in society. Should a president ever swear in public?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Et cetera.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Listen, nobody's more fare to the president on air than
I've been more direct, more honest, more balanced, and he's
been historically great. Right, personally, I'd rather our presidents not
use the F word in public. Doesn't make him any
less historically great. But I'm just being honest about that.
My concern is not you and me. My concern is
the kids. I have some great textures I want to
(30:50):
get to, but can never resist a call from Loveland
to Colorado. We won our first softball state championship. Hey, Dan,
can you turn that radio down for a second. That
sounds like a great show.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yes, sir, Yes, Hey, can.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You can you turn that Yeah, I'm gonna put our
friend Dan on hold for a second.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Kelly, can you stand to turn that radio down?
Speaker 11 (31:15):
Lord?
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Public service announcement, all callers, we'd love your calls. Yes,
you must turn your radio down because there's a delay
and you're not going to hear the same thing over
the phone that you hear of the radio.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, that is a great point, Dan, I've listened to
you since capitalists and sobman, you do sound like a prude.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I don't think that's all.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
I don't think it's a negative thing necessarily that you
have prudent like behavior.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Thank you about how you distribute profanity and so.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Forth, you know, Yeah, nothing wrong with that, Yeah, Dan, Dan,
I had my mouth washed out with soap and second
grade by Sister Mary Magdalene was a life I'd want
to verify that story because I had some of the
greatest nuns ever for a lot of years. Never saw
any mouth getting washed out by soap stuff.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
You know what my grandmother did with my dad I've
been told this story is she would sit my dad
and my uncle Dave, who's the younger brother of my father,
back to back in chairs and they both have to
hold pepper.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
On their tongue.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Wow, that's creative.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah, Dan, your mom was wrong. Several studies have shown
that people who use a variety of swear words are
generally of higher intelligence always judge the whole person, not
just their language. Here's my response, how would you describe it?
Speaker 8 (32:27):
I've heard that number one. That's number one.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, I know that was met and an ironic way. Okay,
I would love to see those studies.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Texture.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I don't believe them because I think when my mom said, hey,
that's among other things, that's a sign of ignorance.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
So better than that.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I mean, she's right, you should be able to come
up with other words. Yeah right, just get creative and listen.
The starting point if you just joined us is hey,
I am not perfect on this score. I'm pretty far
from perfect on this score. I just think kids protect
the kids, not having around kids. Never heard my dad swear,
Never heard my mom swear, though we would get on
(33:06):
rare occasion that Jesus, Mary and Joseph, but never heard
her swear never. I don't think i've heard my wife swear.
Never heard either of my kids swear. I've never sworn
around them, though would certainly make up for it during
breaks in the show during the Capitalists in Silverman Days, Dan,
have you ever called a judge honey?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Only judge honey?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I agree presidents shouldn't use curse words in public. I
don't around my grandkids, although I'm glad my parents didn't
swear either, Donna. I think there are an awful lot
of people who would say they never heard their parents swear,
and those who did, I'm sure they don't think less
of them, and they should. I just think it's interesting
where society is going, where it's much more common and permissive,
(33:51):
and I just don't see that being good for kids,
any upside to kids in that.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
No, I did witness the whole lot of swear. I'm
kind of like Ralphie in a Christmas story. My dad
swear words still woven in a tapestry above Lake Michigan somewhere, okay,
And that was in his younger years. He was a
little bit more feisty. He doesn't swear anymore, though, I
haven't heard my dad's swearing a really long time.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, No's I'm glad we had this conversation, and if
you missed it earlier. My key point of the show
is I think President Trump at this point wants the
formal cease fire, distancing himself from what's to come, because
I think a very very strong likelihood that Ayatola Company
is no longer and I don't think Israel is going
(34:37):
to let him continue. President wanting to distance himself from that. Ryan,
great job, Kelly, you as well please join US tomorrow,
