Speaker 2 (00:15):
Sitting in for Dan Caplis today, and again, very very
honored to be here as a friend of Dan caplas
many years and a fan of Dan Kaplis on the
radio for many years. And I do have a background
in talk radio, former host of a program called Backbone
Radio on Sunday nights going back to two thousand and four?
(00:36):
Am I getting old? Am I becoming like an old dude?
You start to add up those years and you start
to think, oh my gosh, it must be finally.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Happening to me.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But I'll try to pretend otherwise once in a while.
And yeah, I'm a Colorado kid. Grew up right here
Cherry Creek High School. I now practice dentistry in Centennial,
have been doing that for twenty some years. Speaking of,
you know, getting old and all of that. If you'd
have a moment to check in or offer any thoughts,
(01:07):
the phone number here threeho three seven one three eight
two five five the text line five seven seven three nine.
You know one thing about Trump talking to Alexa just
a few moments ago. You know, he runs in twenty
sixteen and goes through all kinds of turmoil with the media,
(01:28):
with every politician and every bureaucrat.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
In Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Then what happened in twenty twenty happened, and then he
decides to run again in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And you can make the.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Case that this is somebody who does not give up.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
He's not a giver upper.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
He doesn't just wilt and roll over and say Okay,
that's enough, and doesn't seem to like get tired or
fatigued and have like you would say, normal understandable human
reactions to these kinds of situations which are at the
most intense, at the most extreme. I mean, you have
to remember that when you are the president of the
(02:08):
United States of America, the most powerful country in the
world and the most glorious country in the world, with
the greatest history in my biased America first opinion, I mean,
that is a kind of intensity that you look at
presidents like Barack Obama, you look at Bill Clinton, and
even Joe Biden. You see pictures of them before they
(02:29):
started their term and then after, and you're like, whoa.
You know that they wilted a bit. It got to them,
it got under their skin a little bit. But by gosh,
you see pictures of Donald Trump before twenty sixteen, twenty twenty,
twenty twenty four now and it seems like he's Is
(02:50):
he getting younger? Is something going on there? Is he
some kind of anti aging thing that happens with this guy.
But in terms of the ability to solve what's going
on in Ukraine, which is one of those geopolitical messes
that come up on this planet from time to time,
and it's really complicated and it's really messy, and it's
(03:13):
really wasteful, and about a million people have died in
that and you can see Trump is very concerned about
people dying. He wants to stop the dying. He'd like
to get some peace in that region. And you want
the guy Trump in there, the guy who does not
give up, who now is carrying with him an immense
(03:34):
level of prestige and yes, even respect, in spite of
all the media and all of the political establishments of
the world, not just our own political establishment, but the
global political establishments and somehow or another, he is just
knocking through all of this and you know, maybe we
finally get the Nobel Peace Prize if something can happen here.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And is this true? Did Hillary Clinton actually.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Say that that that Donald Trump does deserve a Nobel
Peace Prize? I saw some headline on that was that
a parody that that ryan really happened?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I believe she was. It was not a hologram. That's
a real thing.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It was on a podcast episode with Kelly's favorite, Jessica
Tarlov I believe, from Fox News and The Five.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And she said that, like those words came out of
Hillary Clinton's mouth, she had some qualifiers, as she did say,
as I recall, if Trump broke HER's a peace steel
and Ukraine does not have to surrender any lands or
something to that effect, then she would support Donald Trump
for the Nobel Peace Prize and nominate him.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Wow. Wow, well something's going on there.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I mean, she must have had something very different for
breakfast that day, Hillary Clinton when she woke up.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Interesting. Well, uh, thanks for that info.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I mean maybe I don't know if this Ukraine issue
does get solved, my bias is I hope that we
do not have to have American troops on the ground
in Ukraine. I hope that we don't have so many
concessions that it becomes kind of not worth having.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Is that a risk, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
But the death and the dying has to stop, and
the billions upon billions of dollars that our hard working
middle class has been sending over to Ukraine, which, by
the way, much of it does get laundered back into
our own ruling class elites wallets one way or another.
I have always been a bit concerned about that kind
(05:37):
of thing, that there can be incentives to gin up
conflicts for those reasons. But I'd like to see this
get done, and we've got the right team, the right
players in place for that. Before we head to the
phone line, So, by the way, honored by the phone
callers this evening on the Dan Kaplis Show, we'll talk
(05:57):
about briefly about humor and politics and Chuck Todd and
Ryan I heard you play this earlier. Wonderful. The Chuck
Todd is like lost his sense of humor. Maybe he
never had one, you think of Chuck Todd, Yeah, the
NBC guy having some kind of a humor deficit you
don't think of I don't know, speaking of Hillary Clinton,
(06:18):
has she ever actually said anything that was funny or amusing?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Or Bill Clinton or anyway?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But Donald Trump is better, a better comedian than the
people who get paid to be comedians for a living,
like the Night the Night Show people. Trump is funnier
than them, and they know it. And I think that
bums them out. How can he be so darn funny?
But let's let's hear Chuck Todd being a bit of it,
(06:44):
a downer here about. You know, he's lost his sense
of humor. It's all because of Trump, you know. He
he's just he just can't laugh about anything. There's no
joy in Chuck Todd's life. And let's hear it, Chuck, that's.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
The joy of it. I used to say that, you know,
I used to say I covered I was.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Subert Humpre's memoir was called the Politics a Joy, and
I always loved that, which is you know, hey, look
it's you know I enjoy I still enjoy it. Unfortunately now,
I mean, you know, the way Trump practices it, it
has made it less joyful, right, It has just sucked
the joy out of it. Both left and right in
(07:19):
different ways. And you know, try having a light moment
in a political show and it's like you're not being
serious or you're you know, it is a it has
become what used to be really easy to sort of
have some levity in a political discussion. It's been really
hard on the Trump era. You know, look look at
political comedians. They have a hard time. Yeah, he didn't
(07:41):
have any problem with political comedians from twenty fifteen, you know,
before twenty fifteen, And here we are today.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Well, I mean Chuck Todd is just down and out.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And it could be because he's been like one of
those media people have been wrong about everything for about
a decade, like.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Just wrong, wrong, double wrong, wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Doubling down on wrong, and I don't know that might
start to affect your overall equilibrium at some point. But
I again, Trump is hilarious and I don't quite understand
like how people aren't quite you know, getting the humor
in all of this. I mean, even you can be
a diehard political fanatic, leftist, left winger, marxist, go down
(08:26):
the list, and you should still be able to carve
out a little room to like chuckle and laugh and
be like, oh that was pretty funny what Trump said.
I gotta admit, got to admit that was funny. But
here's one example of Trump humor. And this is not
like verbal humor. This is kind of you know, he's
they're working on the Ukraine piece deal thing, which would
(08:48):
be nice if that came through. And so President Manuel
Macron of Francis Macron is in there, and Zelensky is
in there. And Zelensky, oh, he's wearing a suit. Yes,
he is wearing a suit. He's not wearing whatever that
garb he usually wears. And he takes Trump takes him
(09:09):
in their tense negotiations, and he takes Macron and Zelensky
into the merch room at the White House, the merchandise room,
and he points to one of the Trump hats on
the wall that says Trump was right about everything. And
he makes a point of showing these guys Lelensky and
Macrone that hey, see this hat, Trump.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Was right about everything, And.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Isn't that kind of funny, you know, in the middle
of all this tense negotiating. And then Trump goes in
there and tells him that, hey, you know, Trump's right
about everything, and you know, they just sort of stand
there and you could.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You can see.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I've got a picture of this moment here and they're
they're smiling.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And it's interesting how this works, because I mean, Zelensky
has been rather nasty to Donald Trump rather as has
my Krone over the years. But then somehow, you know
they're in there hanging out and trying to broke her
some peace. And it does seem like these European leaders
are kind of on board with a lot of this stuff,
which I kind of even puzzled as to how that's happening,
(10:16):
because it seems like they've wanted more war and they
seem to be wanting to court like World War three
with Russia, which has been a little baffling to me
all the way along. And I do think one little
subtext you don't hear much about Ukraine is that the
CIA has been running a lot of that show and
in Ukraine, and going back to twenty fourteen, the Maydan
(10:38):
is how you pronounce it, the Maydan Revolution, when kind
of all this got rolling and you saw John McCain
over there and Lindsey Graham over there, and now we're
a million dead and are we a trillion in yet?
Enough even the people of Ukraine wont enough. Seventy percent
say enough of this. It's time and should we break
or should we have a little phone conversation here?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, we'll take a little break.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Jim in Denver, if you could hang on just a minute,
Let's talk Ukraine when we get a chance to come back.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It is Matt Dunn sitting in for Dan Kaplis.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
In for Dan Capless.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Honored to be in here to share a few words,
and big thank you to Ryan and Kelly for the
hospitality having this newcomer in here. After the phones that
talk to Jim and Denver in just one second, one
quick point. The Finnish president, as in the president of
Finland is busily hailing Donald Trump. And I mean when
(11:44):
you get even the Scandinavians saying great things about Donald
Trump and this potential piece deal with Ukraine that's encouraging.
His name is Kai Garon Alexander Stubb.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
His name is Stubb is Tubb. Quote.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
In the past two weeks we have had more progress
ending this war than in the past three point five
years end quote. Now that's pretty high praise, and that's
pretty encouraging. Maybe we're getting around the corner on this
Ukraine in Braglio, by the way, from Finland. Do you
ever notice it's hard to tell if somebody's name is
(12:20):
finish or whatever it's Those names are all over the map.
Sometimes they look like, you know, maybe names from Japan
or various places. But this guy's name is stub anyway,
so there that is. By the way, do you know
if there are a few Finnish words in the English language,
or at least they are used, and.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
One of them is do Ryan and Kelly.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
No, well, sauna the word sauna s a u na.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh, I did not know that. That's the word finish word.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes, okay, that's my duty is done here, I've oh yeah,
that's you. Just don't want to stay in there too long, right,
But they're supposed to be healthy, and if you're living
up there at the Arctic Circle in Finland, you might
want to spend some time in asana. But at any rate,
let's say hello to Jim in Denver, maybe visit on
(13:10):
Ukraine for a moment.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Welcome Jim Aldy.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Good to hear your voice again.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh, Jim, I know you. It's great to hear your voice. Yeah,
my goodness, thank you very much. You're still out there.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Yeah, I'm still here. But it's true. Trump is right
about everything.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
There's even a hat that says it, which I guess
kind of proves it right.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
So yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Heard you say that. Anyway, I've got an idea. My
idea is that they take away Obama's a Nobel Peace
Prize and give it to Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, Obama got his Nobel Peace Prize before he
even got into office, isn't that right? Is my memory
right that it was before he even started day one
of his term, or it was like maybe on day
one or in the first week, and he got the prize.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
I don't remember.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I don't remember the timeline, but it was. I think
he was in about for a cup of coffee and
they gave it to him or something.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I bet he has it in his mansion in Martha's
vineyards right now. Is like sitting on a wall somewhere.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Uh no, I think I think the global warming the
water rows up over it so it's covered up in sand.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Oh that did happen?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Okay, yeah, yeah, it did happen. The idea of these
jump You know, I'm kind of mean spirited, because oh.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Not totally. We know you, Gemma, you're gentle and kind.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
Yeah, I'm very resentful that the Democrats get to enjoy
the benefits in the bounty of the Trump security.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
And economy that he's providing right now.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, I mean they're kind of you would say, dragged
along for the ride against everything that they have fought for,
right I mean, these people in the meat you have
woken up every day since twenty fifteen, since the Escalator
and tried to, you know, knock Trump down, knock Trump down,
and I think you know, they have not succeeded. And
that's kind of why Chuck Todd has lost his sense
(15:12):
of humor. He just can't laugh anymore.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Yeah, the guy to put on this performance.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
They have to put on this performance upset there with Trump,
and secretly they love what's going on.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You think so meaning meaning, and they approve of it,
or they might.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Yeah, but they've got to keep up the facade about
how much how Trump is evil, et cetera, et cetera.
At least that's my idea. I could be completely wrong.
How can I mean, is there just no common sense
left anymore? I guess that's the deal. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Well, you can be a political party and you can
abandon all pretensive common sense and you can head way
out into the extreme wacko wilderness, and you might find
that you just can't quite get enough votes to stay
in power. Even though our system, you know, you kind
of wonder about the integrity of it sometimes, but you
they're they're in the wilderness right now. I think the
(16:07):
Democrats are. I do think they've they've been broken, and
I think a lot of them have been so dedicated
to a certain mission and have failed that it's again
their equilibrium is a little off.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
But I think, you know, they'll be okay, They'll they'll
come back.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
They just you know, maybe need a new crop of
leaders and a new crop of media and they'll they'll
find something to go on. So at some you know,
they're always going to have to be top radio.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Jim, Yeah, I'm just kind of curious speaking about leaders.
Not to put you on the spot, but I'm just
kind of wondering who you think is going to follow Trump?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, good question, And I think the top two names
would be Marco Rubio and uh, actually I'm drawing a blank.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Who's our vice president? Again. Yeah. JD Vance, the Hillbilly Deluxe.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Guy, who, by the way, I read that book back
when it came out, good solid book, and I thought,
if he stays true to his roots, he's going to
be good. It's gonna be one of those two guys
would be the front runners. Do you like anyone, Jim,
you give anyone the edge right now?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:11):
I would go with those two as well. The only
thing that scares me about Vance is the fact that
he waivered a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
He did he did back in the day. But he
definitely righted that ship and you just you just hope
he can stay with that, Jim. Thank you. Matt Dunn
in for Dan Capless.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But actually Hill Billy Deluxe and let's test you here, Ryan,
all right, Yeah, go ahead. Dwight Yoacomb's second album called
He'll Billy Deluxe, and that is a heck of an
album and it actually ties into There's a few songs
in there talk about Dwight Yoakam's family migration from Kentucky
to Ohio, which is exactly what JD Vance's family did.
(18:04):
It kind of all ties together and I'm a big
fan of hillbilly music?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Was it?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It was Dwight Yoakum and sling Blade, right, yeah, I
played the villain.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, and I've still never seen that movie.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
But oh really, yeah, I did I miss a good one.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Well, it's not usually Dan Kaplis misses movies, and my
brain goes numb, like, wow, Ryan, I never saw that one. Look,
how can you have never seen like good Fellas or
something like that?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
And my constant follow up line.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
To that is, I bet Amy's seen it, And I
think nine times out of ten, I'm right.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, I do have sling Blade on my DVD shelf
in the man cave, but I just somehow never have
gotten the thing out.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And you know it, I'll tell you why it is.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's because you know, Dwight Yoakum to me is a
country star.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Is one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I've played him on the radio for many years, seen
him in concert. If you don't even met the guy, okay,
but he you know, he's got the skinny jeans, he's
got the cool hillbilly and he's got the whole twang
thing and the.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Kind of the knee dance moves.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But in this movie's ling Blade he's like, got no
hat and he's just bald. He's totally bald, and he's
he's kind of a mean guy. And I was thinking,
I don't I don't know if I want to watch
Dwight be mean.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well have you seen him?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
He's in the opening scene to one of my favorite
movies from the two thousand crack Now you're talking, Yeah,
and he goes through the divorce counseling she can have
the miles, the airline mile.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
He conveyed a very hindpecked, suffering husband and he did that. Well,
he's a he's a good actor. He is, Yeah, very
much so. And he's written some pretty good hillbilly tunes
if she want my opinion. Actually, his his last song,
Who's the popular.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Country guy that did a duet? Came out like six
months ago. Wow, you're up to date.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, who's the guy that does the Spider Man theme song?
You know what I'm talking about. He's he's like the
most popular he has got. His last album has the
Ford pickup, like with the bumper down and sticking straight up.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Kelly, you got a guest here.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Our listeners are screaming at their radios.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
No, it's not kid, the hell are you two people
talking about music? I have my head hung low right
now because now we're going there.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Okay, well, you know that's gonna bother me.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I can't think of this guy's name.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I know I will not rest Crashers.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I love that movie. I don't remember Dwight yokas.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
So yoakum does a do what you said a few
months ago? You can't think of the guy? Hold on,
I'm trying to help here. I'm like you. Yeah, so
Texters five seven seven three nine. If you can think
of who the doctor is referring to, please send that along.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, And I if I could think of the name
of this song, that would help too, and then I
would play it coming back from the final break here. Well,
sorry to be distracting often the hillbilly music, but I
like my Bill Monroe and my Ralph Stanley and my
Doc Watson go down that list and Brooks and Dunn.
I can claim no relation to Brooks and Dunn.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
My name is Matt Dunn.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
However, my cousin actually is Claire Dunn, who has had
a few top ten hits on the country charts, and
she recently played in Parker went down to see Claire play,
and my four little kiddos we sat there and watched
her sing, and it man her voice. There's somebody in
our family that has talent and that's her. So at
(21:29):
any rate, again, Matt, don in for Dan Kaplis, and
thank you for being here and putting up with me
being in here. And we've got some phone action to
tend to. And oh, I see some familiar names.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Let's say a little hello.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
We're gonna talk to Jack. We're gonna talk to Brian.
You guys, don't go anywhere Jack, Evergreen? Is this wyoming Jack?
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I'm Matt. I'm on my way to the house and Evergreen.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
But I always think you at I was driving. I
think it's about the Nobel piece Price. I think the
caller was right. That was awarded to Obama when he
was a community organizer. He hadn't yet taken the office
of presidency.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
And what that did is.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
It just showed you that the people that sit on
that board and decide who to award it do Ito
was totally political. I mean, I mean, what has he
done as a community organized organizers that maybe stuff a
couple of focus ballot boxes. Well, Jack, then to get
the Prize.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Jack, you can be you can be so good as
a community organizer, you can get the Nobel Peace Prize.
He was that good, of course in that community he
was organizing, But.
Speaker 11 (22:33):
That that destroyed all the credibility for the Peace Prize
for anybody that might be a legitimate recipient in the future.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
I know you're right right there, and Jo if anybody
that's a thinker.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But Jack, the Pulitzer Prize is how many Pulitzers did
CNN get in the New York Times get for the
Russia Russia, Russia, Russia Russia hoax?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
How many a bunch?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, you see what a racket some of this stuff is.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
Yeah, well that that started out as being mainly literal
rary awards to people like Hemingway and the rest of them.
But as far as for journalism, bullipsers have been misguided
from from day one. They're politicized. It's all politicized, Matt.
You know that better than anybody.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yes, Jack, you were preaching to the choir here I'm
agreeing with. And by the way, Jack, you're the guy
because you are part time in Wyoming.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I remember you.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But you you got Liz Cheney out of there in
Wyoming and forever. Kudos to you for that. That was
that was really well done, Jack, How did you even
do that? I mean, that was good.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
I actually I just saw her last week. She was
taking change at a Wendys.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You know when I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
She's moving up.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I bet she's much better at that than being a politician.
Speaker 11 (23:46):
Other than their fact that her dad is nobody you'd
ever wanted to go quail hunting with. I didn't really
mind her father, you know, yeah, well you don't want
to go quail hunting with them.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Dick Cheney was better before uh whatever five or six
car already Act surgeries and he became a little different
sort of political animal. Unfortunately, he was good before Bush won,
but after Bush won, he was bad in my opinion,
and Liz got the bad part.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
One on Trump, if I can offer it, you may.
I think every I think everything that Trump done was correct,
except his vice president at the first to go around
what was that guy's name, Mike Pence? Yeah, yeah, see,
I think I think that was a mistake. Oh step
on his part. I mean it was a huge one.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Oh yeah, that was That was not good, not any
kind of good, and Pence is still out there being annoying.
Anytime Pence says anything, you just look at that and
you shake your head and you think, ah, that guy.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Yeah, without Trump, he'd have no name recognition. They're going
to run with that if they can.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, and they trod him out.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Whenever you know you need a sound bite against tariffs,
or you need a sound bite against peace in Ukraine,
or you need a sound bite about sort of what
a what a unwholesome person? Trump is there there pants
for you, and that's that's his pipeline irrelevance.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Right, Yeah, well, Jack, it is great to hear your voice,
young man.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Safe travels into Evergreen and let's uh, do we have
a minute to say hello to Brian or should we
should we hold it? Okay, Brian, if you'd be just
so good as to hold on just a moment, Tito here,
We'll be right back and let you hold the phone
here a second. Matt Dunn sitting in for Dan Capless
(25:34):
and now back to the Dan Tapless Show podcast. Wow
and uh yeah, so did you say I think I
heard Kelly say post Malone, Yes, Post that was me.
I had to jump in with Dwight Yoak him. I
don't know how to say goodbye that.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I will say that post Malone, she doesn't know who
that is.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
The real Ralph actually texted us as well, And actually
I even had a text from the man in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Sent that in that he figured that out.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So real Ralph, you said, kudos to real Ralph. And
by the way, what kind of a mother names their
son post post.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Posty is kind of what the kids?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Is that a real name or is that one of
those like rock star names that he came up with.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Gotta be the latter, gotta be. We should look into that.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Could you look into that real name?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
This text?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Or how about this?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
And I got to say I made the same observation
about the good doctor. I've never heard of a guest
host bringing their own callers.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
A ben Is that ever an honor?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, you know, you labor in these vineyards for a
decade or two. There you go and next thing, you know,
you get to chat with people.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Once in a while.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And we'll head off to that in one second, Brian,
one more second, one quick point. You're gonna see a
lot about the mail in ballots business. Donald Trump is
thinking that mail in ballots are not cool. I agree
with Trump on that, and you're gonna see the left shriek,
I mean shriek about this because somehow.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
They like those mail in balanced like a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And Jenny Griswal done, was it MS now whatever this morning?
Or was it CNN one of those that was with.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Kate Buldman of CNN. Okay, CNN, what sounds right here?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Same thing? Well, let's not, let's not. I can't bear that.
I can't go to the listeners. Yeah, but she compared.
She says, here's the quote.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Trump is obviously taking cues about democracy from a dictator
like Putin.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Hah end quote.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So they're gonna go full Putin on this like you
know other Russia Russia business. And Mark Elias is throwing
a fit about this and all the usual suspects. And
that's how you know it's a good idea Trump is
having here because it's right over the Power Center. Let's
let's look into this, Hey Republicans, Hey Rhinos, you want
to do something, Let's let's look into this. Okay, maybe
(27:59):
even make this happen. I'll hold off and not say
too much more there.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
But Brian in Arvada honored.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You could check in Matt Dunn, sitting in for Dan
kaplis here this evening.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Oh the legend is back, doctor Dunn.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Your voice has gotten deeper since our last chatted with you. Yeah,
are you doing the testoster owner? What that's Yeah?
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Well maybe I should so, uh, but yeah, it's good
to hear your voice again.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Hey, honored, honored, have a chance.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
I had a couple of things that Noble Peace price.
Speaker 12 (28:39):
I mean it's like a bucket of fools gold. You know,
it's all shiny, it looks great, but it has no value.
It's just worthless. So but for some reason, I still
think Trump would take it and kind of smile about it.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh yeah, he'd put that right there next to his hat.
That says quote Trump was right about everything.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
On the wall.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yes, in the merch room and oh he I mean
you saw what was going on Thailand Cambodia. They were
about to go into a full fledged war. And Trump says, hey,
knock it off over there. I'm going to tear a
few guys into oblivion. All of your economies are going
to evaporate if you don't knock it off. And what
do they do? Like, I kid you not. The next
(29:18):
day they knocked it off. I think that alone is
a nobel. I mean, we need we should probably be
at a handful of them, maybe even double digits at
this point.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
And even if.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Hillary is saying it, you know, that's that's how you
know it's deserving, right, Ryan, Well, yeah, he's.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
The best president we ever had. Everybody knows it. I mean,
but the only thing I worry about is this.
Speaker 12 (29:42):
Bondy Okay, Yeah, because you gotta hold people accountable because
you know what's going to happen after these four years,
you know as well as I do, Matt, and we'll
be talking to each other again, going through that another
nightmare with masks and vaccines and all sorts of transgender stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I remember those days.
Speaker 12 (30:02):
Yeah, And you kept everybody saying, but they got to
hold these people responsible.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
And she kind of just I don't know, is she
a girl version of Bill Barr.
Speaker 12 (30:11):
Well, we'll find out, because we need some indictments coming down.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
And she seems to well, Tulsi Gabert d and I
who is an incredibly courageous individual, Tulsi Gabbert. Man, hats
off to Tulsi Gabbert and what she is doing. I mean,
she understands the deep State through and through. She's come
out to speak at the Centennial Summit. Centennial Conservative Summit
met her a time or two. She knows that deep
(30:34):
state inside out, and you need a courageous politician to
do this kind of stuff, and she's got it.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
She's got the deep State back on their heels.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
And it's like, over to you, Bondy, Over to you,
Ag BONDI, your moves.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You ready.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Given her all sorts of I guess referrals. But we'll
see what We'll see what Bondi is. It seems like.
Speaker 12 (30:57):
She talks a little bit loud, and she's got a
big old bar like what.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Was on Fox News like every day.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I think somebody dded up her amount of appearances on
Fox News, and it's it's way up there. I mean,
we might be it was it sixties or seventies already,
and well, I'm not seeing much in the way it
results yet, And maybe that's premature to be skeptical. But
I will tell you this that when I first saw
her name come through to be the ag I was,
I had my certain degree of skepticism, and so I.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Just I hope she can.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I think she can be like a Rubio or like
a Tolzi Gabbard and the surprises in a good way.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
But doctor Dunn, I think that she was the only
one that had bipartisan support.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Right, you got to get through the Senate, and miss
McConnell won't let you through if you're cool, right.
Speaker 12 (31:48):
Yeah, if a Democrat votes for you, there's probably.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Something not good going on. You know.
Speaker 12 (31:55):
It's kind of like if Griswold, if you listen to her,
oh no, mail and ballots are perfect.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
No, you kind of listened to the opposite because she's
been given away code by the way, Damn.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Griswold was saying that she has stopped Trump so many times.
But do you remember that little like try to get
Trump stopped from being on the ballot in Colorado and
the Supreme Court shot that down nine to zero.
Speaker 12 (32:14):
I remember that, And she's still talking about a threat
to democracy. I mean, come on from her, really, I mean,
she's an absolute joke. Everybody knows that she's a liar.
So when you get a liar and they believe in something,
it's probably good.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
Idea is that you just believe in the opposite and
you'll probably be right.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, yeah, that is often applies.
Speaker 12 (32:36):
Brian.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You are onto him. You're good at decoding all this
stuff and looks like Brian, Hey, thank you for checking in.
Let's talk when we can again. And I'll just say
a big thank you and kudos for Dan Kaplis for
letting me Mad Dunn drop into the studio here and
just share a little bit today. Thank you Ryan, Thank
you Kelly, a lot of fun. Thank you for finding
(32:57):
post malone. I'm going to sleep better tonight because you've
on that at any rate, honored you have been in here,
and yeah, maybe one of these days dropped back by.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Thank you now.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Sitting in for Dan Caplis today, and again, very very
honored to be here as a friend of Dan caplas
many years and a fan of Dan Kaplis on the
radio for many years. And I do have a background
in talk radio, former host of a program called Backbone
Radio on Sunday nights going back to two thousand and four?
(00:36):
Am I getting old? Am I becoming like an old dude?
You start to add up those years and you start
to think, oh my gosh, it must be finally.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Happening to me.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But I'll try to pretend otherwise once in a while.
And yeah, I'm a Colorado kid. Grew up right here
Cherry Creek High School. I now practice dentistry in Centennial,
have been doing that for twenty some years. Speaking of,
you know, getting old and all of that. If you'd
have a moment to check in or offer any thoughts,
(01:07):
the phone number here threeho three seven one three eight
two five five the text line five seven seven three nine.
You know one thing about Trump talking to Alexa just
a few moments ago. You know, he runs in twenty
sixteen and goes through all kinds of turmoil with the media,
(01:28):
with every politician and every bureaucrat.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
In Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Then what happened in twenty twenty happened, and then he
decides to run again in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And you can make the.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Case that this is somebody who does not give up.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
He's not a giver upper.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
He doesn't just wilt and roll over and say Okay,
that's enough, and doesn't seem to like get tired or
fatigued and have like you would say, normal understandable human
reactions to these kinds of situations which are at the
most intense, at the most extreme. I mean, you have
to remember that when you are the president of the
(02:08):
United States of America, the most powerful country in the
world and the most glorious country in the world, with
the greatest history in my biased America first opinion, I mean,
that is a kind of intensity that you look at
presidents like Barack Obama, you look at Bill Clinton, and
even Joe Biden. You see pictures of them before they
(02:29):
started their term and then after, and you're like, whoa.
You know that they wilted a bit. It got to them,
it got under their skin a little bit. But by gosh,
you see pictures of Donald Trump before twenty sixteen, twenty twenty,
twenty twenty four now and it seems like he's Is
(02:50):
he getting younger? Is something going on there? Is he
some kind of anti aging thing that happens with this guy.
But in terms of the ability to solve what's going
on in Ukraine, which is one of those geopolitical messes
that come up on this planet from time to time,
and it's really complicated and it's really messy, and it's
(03:13):
really wasteful, and about a million people have died in
that and you can see Trump is very concerned about
people dying. He wants to stop the dying. He'd like
to get some peace in that region. And you want
the guy Trump in there, the guy who does not
give up, who now is carrying with him an immense
(03:34):
level of prestige and yes, even respect, in spite of
all the media and all of the political establishments of
the world, not just our own political establishment, but the
global political establishments and somehow or another, he is just
knocking through all of this and you know, maybe we
finally get the Nobel Peace Prize if something can happen here.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And is this true? Did Hillary Clinton actually.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Say that that that Donald Trump does deserve a Nobel
Peace Prize? I saw some headline on that was that
a parody that that ryan really happened?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I believe she was. It was not a hologram. That's
a real thing.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It was on a podcast episode with Kelly's favorite, Jessica
Tarlov I believe, from Fox News and The Five.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And she said that, like those words came out of
Hillary Clinton's mouth, she had some qualifiers, as she did say,
as I recall, if Trump broke HER's a peace steel
and Ukraine does not have to surrender any lands or
something to that effect, then she would support Donald Trump
for the Nobel Peace Prize and nominate him.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Wow. Wow, well something's going on there.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I mean, she must have had something very different for
breakfast that day, Hillary Clinton when she woke up.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Interesting. Well, uh, thanks for that info.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I mean maybe I don't know if this Ukraine issue
does get solved, my bias is I hope that we
do not have to have American troops on the ground
in Ukraine. I hope that we don't have so many
concessions that it becomes kind of not worth having.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Is that a risk, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
But the death and the dying has to stop, and
the billions upon billions of dollars that our hard working
middle class has been sending over to Ukraine, which, by
the way, much of it does get laundered back into
our own ruling class elites wallets one way or another.
I have always been a bit concerned about that kind
(05:37):
of thing, that there can be incentives to gin up
conflicts for those reasons. But I'd like to see this
get done, and we've got the right team, the right
players in place for that. Before we head to the
phone line, So, by the way, honored by the phone
callers this evening on the Dan Kaplis Show, we'll talk
(05:57):
about briefly about humor and politics and Chuck Todd and
Ryan I heard you play this earlier. Wonderful. The Chuck
Todd is like lost his sense of humor. Maybe he
never had one, you think of Chuck Todd, Yeah, the
NBC guy having some kind of a humor deficit you
don't think of I don't know, speaking of Hillary Clinton,
(06:18):
has she ever actually said anything that was funny or amusing?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Or Bill Clinton or anyway?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But Donald Trump is better, a better comedian than the
people who get paid to be comedians for a living,
like the Night the Night Show people. Trump is funnier
than them, and they know it. And I think that
bums them out. How can he be so darn funny?
But let's let's hear Chuck Todd being a bit of it,
(06:44):
a downer here about. You know, he's lost his sense
of humor. It's all because of Trump, you know. He
he's just he just can't laugh about anything. There's no
joy in Chuck Todd's life. And let's hear it, Chuck, that's.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
The joy of it. I used to say that, you know,
I used to say I covered I was.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Subert Humpre's memoir was called the Politics a Joy, and
I always loved that, which is you know, hey, look
it's you know I enjoy I still enjoy it. Unfortunately now,
I mean, you know, the way Trump practices it, it
has made it less joyful, right, It has just sucked
the joy out of it. Both left and right in
(07:19):
different ways. And you know, try having a light moment
in a political show and it's like you're not being
serious or you're you know, it is a it has
become what used to be really easy to sort of
have some levity in a political discussion. It's been really
hard on the Trump era. You know, look look at
political comedians. They have a hard time. Yeah, he didn't
(07:41):
have any problem with political comedians from twenty fifteen, you know,
before twenty fifteen, And here we are today.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Well, I mean Chuck Todd is just down and out.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And it could be because he's been like one of
those media people have been wrong about everything for about
a decade, like.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Just wrong, wrong, double wrong, wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Doubling down on wrong, and I don't know that might
start to affect your overall equilibrium at some point. But
I again, Trump is hilarious and I don't quite understand
like how people aren't quite you know, getting the humor
in all of this. I mean, even you can be
a diehard political fanatic, leftist, left winger, marxist, go down
(08:26):
the list, and you should still be able to carve
out a little room to like chuckle and laugh and
be like, oh that was pretty funny what Trump said.
I gotta admit, got to admit that was funny. But
here's one example of Trump humor. And this is not
like verbal humor. This is kind of you know, he's
they're working on the Ukraine piece deal thing, which would
(08:48):
be nice if that came through. And so President Manuel
Macron of Francis Macron is in there, and Zelensky is
in there. And Zelensky, oh, he's wearing a suit. Yes,
he is wearing a suit. He's not wearing whatever that
garb he usually wears. And he takes Trump takes him
(09:09):
in their tense negotiations, and he takes Macron and Zelensky
into the merch room at the White House, the merchandise room,
and he points to one of the Trump hats on
the wall that says Trump was right about everything. And
he makes a point of showing these guys Lelensky and
Macrone that hey, see this hat, Trump.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Was right about everything, And.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Isn't that kind of funny, you know, in the middle
of all this tense negotiating. And then Trump goes in
there and tells him that, hey, you know, Trump's right
about everything, and you know, they just sort of stand
there and you could.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You can see.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I've got a picture of this moment here and they're
they're smiling.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And it's interesting how this works, because I mean, Zelensky
has been rather nasty to Donald Trump rather as has
my Krone over the years. But then somehow, you know
they're in there hanging out and trying to broke her
some peace. And it does seem like these European leaders
are kind of on board with a lot of this stuff,
which I kind of even puzzled as to how that's happening,
(10:16):
because it seems like they've wanted more war and they
seem to be wanting to court like World War three
with Russia, which has been a little baffling to me
all the way along. And I do think one little
subtext you don't hear much about Ukraine is that the
CIA has been running a lot of that show and
in Ukraine, and going back to twenty fourteen, the Maydan
(10:38):
is how you pronounce it, the Maydan Revolution, when kind
of all this got rolling and you saw John McCain
over there and Lindsey Graham over there, and now we're
a million dead and are we a trillion in yet?
Enough even the people of Ukraine wont enough. Seventy percent
say enough of this. It's time and should we break
or should we have a little phone conversation here?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, we'll take a little break.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Jim in Denver, if you could hang on just a minute,
Let's talk Ukraine when we get a chance to come back.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It is Matt Dunn sitting in for Dan Kaplis.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
In for Dan Capless.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Honored to be in here to share a few words,
and big thank you to Ryan and Kelly for the
hospitality having this newcomer in here. After the phones that
talk to Jim and Denver in just one second, one
quick point. The Finnish president, as in the president of
Finland is busily hailing Donald Trump. And I mean when
(11:44):
you get even the Scandinavians saying great things about Donald
Trump and this potential piece deal with Ukraine that's encouraging.
His name is Kai Garon Alexander Stubb.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
His name is Stubb is Tubb. Quote.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
In the past two weeks we have had more progress
ending this war than in the past three point five
years end quote. Now that's pretty high praise, and that's
pretty encouraging. Maybe we're getting around the corner on this
Ukraine in Braglio, by the way, from Finland. Do you
ever notice it's hard to tell if somebody's name is
(12:20):
finish or whatever it's Those names are all over the map.
Sometimes they look like, you know, maybe names from Japan
or various places. But this guy's name is stub anyway,
so there that is. By the way, do you know
if there are a few Finnish words in the English language,
or at least they are used, and.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
One of them is do Ryan and Kelly.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
No, well, sauna the word sauna s a u na.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh, I did not know that. That's the word finish word.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes, okay, that's my duty is done here, I've oh yeah,
that's you. Just don't want to stay in there too long, right,
But they're supposed to be healthy, and if you're living
up there at the Arctic Circle in Finland, you might
want to spend some time in asana. But at any rate,
let's say hello to Jim in Denver, maybe visit on
(13:10):
Ukraine for a moment.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Welcome Jim Aldy.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Good to hear your voice again.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh, Jim, I know you. It's great to hear your voice. Yeah,
my goodness, thank you very much. You're still out there.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Yeah, I'm still here. But it's true. Trump is right
about everything.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
There's even a hat that says it, which I guess
kind of proves it right.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
So yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Heard you say that. Anyway, I've got an idea. My
idea is that they take away Obama's a Nobel Peace
Prize and give it to Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, Obama got his Nobel Peace Prize before he
even got into office, isn't that right? Is my memory
right that it was before he even started day one
of his term, or it was like maybe on day
one or in the first week, and he got the prize.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
I don't remember.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I don't remember the timeline, but it was. I think
he was in about for a cup of coffee and
they gave it to him or something.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I bet he has it in his mansion in Martha's
vineyards right now. Is like sitting on a wall somewhere.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Uh no, I think I think the global warming the
water rows up over it so it's covered up in sand.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Oh that did happen?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Okay, yeah, yeah, it did happen. The idea of these
jump You know, I'm kind of mean spirited, because oh.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Not totally. We know you, Gemma, you're gentle and kind.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
Yeah, I'm very resentful that the Democrats get to enjoy
the benefits in the bounty of the Trump security.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
And economy that he's providing right now.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, I mean they're kind of you would say, dragged
along for the ride against everything that they have fought for,
right I mean, these people in the meat you have
woken up every day since twenty fifteen, since the Escalator
and tried to, you know, knock Trump down, knock Trump down,
and I think you know, they have not succeeded. And
that's kind of why Chuck Todd has lost his sense
(15:12):
of humor. He just can't laugh anymore.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Yeah, the guy to put on this performance.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
They have to put on this performance upset there with Trump,
and secretly they love what's going on.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You think so meaning meaning, and they approve of it,
or they might.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Yeah, but they've got to keep up the facade about
how much how Trump is evil, et cetera, et cetera.
At least that's my idea. I could be completely wrong.
How can I mean, is there just no common sense
left anymore? I guess that's the deal. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Well, you can be a political party and you can
abandon all pretensive common sense and you can head way
out into the extreme wacko wilderness, and you might find
that you just can't quite get enough votes to stay
in power. Even though our system, you know, you kind
of wonder about the integrity of it sometimes, but you
they're they're in the wilderness right now. I think the
(16:07):
Democrats are. I do think they've they've been broken, and
I think a lot of them have been so dedicated
to a certain mission and have failed that it's again
their equilibrium is a little off.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
But I think, you know, they'll be okay, They'll they'll
come back.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
They just you know, maybe need a new crop of
leaders and a new crop of media and they'll they'll
find something to go on. So at some you know,
they're always going to have to be top radio.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Jim, Yeah, I'm just kind of curious speaking about leaders.
Not to put you on the spot, but I'm just
kind of wondering who you think is going to follow Trump?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, good question, And I think the top two names
would be Marco Rubio and uh, actually I'm drawing a blank.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Who's our vice president? Again. Yeah. JD Vance, the Hillbilly Deluxe.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Guy, who, by the way, I read that book back
when it came out, good solid book, and I thought,
if he stays true to his roots, he's going to
be good. It's gonna be one of those two guys
would be the front runners. Do you like anyone, Jim,
you give anyone the edge right now?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:11):
I would go with those two as well. The only
thing that scares me about Vance is the fact that
he waivered a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
He did he did back in the day. But he
definitely righted that ship and you just you just hope
he can stay with that, Jim. Thank you. Matt Dunn
in for Dan Capless.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But actually Hill Billy Deluxe and let's test you here, Ryan,
all right, Yeah, go ahead. Dwight Yoacomb's second album called
He'll Billy Deluxe, and that is a heck of an
album and it actually ties into There's a few songs
in there talk about Dwight Yoakam's family migration from Kentucky
to Ohio, which is exactly what JD Vance's family did.
(18:04):
It kind of all ties together and I'm a big
fan of hillbilly music?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Was it?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It was Dwight Yoakum and sling Blade, right, yeah, I
played the villain.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, and I've still never seen that movie.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
But oh really, yeah, I did I miss a good one.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Well, it's not usually Dan Kaplis misses movies, and my
brain goes numb, like, wow, Ryan, I never saw that one. Look,
how can you have never seen like good Fellas or
something like that?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
And my constant follow up line.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
To that is, I bet Amy's seen it, And I
think nine times out of ten, I'm right.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, I do have sling Blade on my DVD shelf
in the man cave, but I just somehow never have
gotten the thing out.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And you know it, I'll tell you why it is.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's because you know, Dwight Yoakum to me is a
country star.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Is one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I've played him on the radio for many years, seen
him in concert. If you don't even met the guy, okay,
but he you know, he's got the skinny jeans, he's
got the cool hillbilly and he's got the whole twang
thing and the.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Kind of the knee dance moves.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But in this movie's ling Blade he's like, got no
hat and he's just bald. He's totally bald, and he's
he's kind of a mean guy. And I was thinking,
I don't I don't know if I want to watch
Dwight be mean.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well have you seen him?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
He's in the opening scene to one of my favorite
movies from the two thousand crack Now you're talking, Yeah,
and he goes through the divorce counseling she can have
the miles, the airline mile.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
He conveyed a very hindpecked, suffering husband and he did that. Well,
he's a he's a good actor. He is, Yeah, very
much so. And he's written some pretty good hillbilly tunes
if she want my opinion. Actually, his his last song,
Who's the popular.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Country guy that did a duet? Came out like six
months ago. Wow, you're up to date.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, who's the guy that does the Spider Man theme song?
You know what I'm talking about. He's he's like the
most popular he has got. His last album has the
Ford pickup, like with the bumper down and sticking straight up.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Kelly, you got a guest here.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Our listeners are screaming at their radios.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
No, it's not kid, the hell are you two people
talking about music? I have my head hung low right
now because now we're going there.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Okay, well, you know that's gonna bother me.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I can't think of this guy's name.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I know I will not rest Crashers.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I love that movie. I don't remember Dwight yokas.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
So yoakum does a do what you said a few
months ago? You can't think of the guy? Hold on,
I'm trying to help here. I'm like you. Yeah, so
Texters five seven seven three nine. If you can think
of who the doctor is referring to, please send that along.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, And I if I could think of the name
of this song, that would help too, and then I
would play it coming back from the final break here. Well,
sorry to be distracting often the hillbilly music, but I
like my Bill Monroe and my Ralph Stanley and my
Doc Watson go down that list and Brooks and Dunn.
I can claim no relation to Brooks and Dunn.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
My name is Matt Dunn.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
However, my cousin actually is Claire Dunn, who has had
a few top ten hits on the country charts, and
she recently played in Parker went down to see Claire play,
and my four little kiddos we sat there and watched
her sing, and it man her voice. There's somebody in
our family that has talent and that's her. So at
(21:29):
any rate, again, Matt, don in for Dan Kaplis, and
thank you for being here and putting up with me
being in here. And we've got some phone action to
tend to. And oh, I see some familiar names.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Let's say a little hello.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
We're gonna talk to Jack. We're gonna talk to Brian.
You guys, don't go anywhere Jack, Evergreen? Is this wyoming Jack?
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I'm Matt. I'm on my way to the house and Evergreen.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
But I always think you at I was driving. I
think it's about the Nobel piece Price. I think the
caller was right. That was awarded to Obama when he
was a community organizer. He hadn't yet taken the office
of presidency.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
And what that did is.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
It just showed you that the people that sit on
that board and decide who to award it do Ito
was totally political. I mean, I mean, what has he
done as a community organized organizers that maybe stuff a
couple of focus ballot boxes. Well, Jack, then to get
the Prize.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Jack, you can be you can be so good as
a community organizer, you can get the Nobel Peace Prize.
He was that good, of course in that community he
was organizing, But.
Speaker 11 (22:33):
That that destroyed all the credibility for the Peace Prize
for anybody that might be a legitimate recipient in the future.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
I know you're right right there, and Jo if anybody
that's a thinker.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But Jack, the Pulitzer Prize is how many Pulitzers did
CNN get in the New York Times get for the
Russia Russia, Russia, Russia Russia hoax?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
How many a bunch?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, you see what a racket some of this stuff is.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
Yeah, well that that started out as being mainly literal
rary awards to people like Hemingway and the rest of them.
But as far as for journalism, bullipsers have been misguided
from from day one. They're politicized. It's all politicized, Matt.
You know that better than anybody.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yes, Jack, you were preaching to the choir here I'm
agreeing with. And by the way, Jack, you're the guy
because you are part time in Wyoming.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I remember you.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But you you got Liz Cheney out of there in
Wyoming and forever. Kudos to you for that. That was
that was really well done, Jack, How did you even
do that? I mean, that was good.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
I actually I just saw her last week. She was
taking change at a Wendys.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You know when I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
She's moving up.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I bet she's much better at that than being a politician.
Speaker 11 (23:46):
Other than their fact that her dad is nobody you'd
ever wanted to go quail hunting with. I didn't really
mind her father, you know, yeah, well you don't want
to go quail hunting with them.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Dick Cheney was better before uh whatever five or six
car already Act surgeries and he became a little different
sort of political animal. Unfortunately, he was good before Bush won,
but after Bush won, he was bad in my opinion,
and Liz got the bad part.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
One on Trump, if I can offer it, you may.
I think every I think everything that Trump done was correct,
except his vice president at the first to go around
what was that guy's name, Mike Pence? Yeah, yeah, see,
I think I think that was a mistake. Oh step
on his part. I mean it was a huge one.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Oh yeah, that was That was not good, not any
kind of good, and Pence is still out there being annoying.
Anytime Pence says anything, you just look at that and
you shake your head and you think, ah, that guy.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Yeah, without Trump, he'd have no name recognition. They're going
to run with that if they can.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, and they trod him out.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Whenever you know you need a sound bite against tariffs,
or you need a sound bite against peace in Ukraine,
or you need a sound bite about sort of what
a what a unwholesome person? Trump is there there pants
for you, and that's that's his pipeline irrelevance.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Right, Yeah, well, Jack, it is great to hear your voice,
young man.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Safe travels into Evergreen and let's uh, do we have
a minute to say hello to Brian or should we
should we hold it? Okay, Brian, if you'd be just
so good as to hold on just a moment, Tito here,
We'll be right back and let you hold the phone
here a second. Matt Dunn sitting in for Dan Capless
(25:34):
and now back to the Dan Tapless Show podcast. Wow
and uh yeah, so did you say I think I
heard Kelly say post Malone, Yes, Post that was me.
I had to jump in with Dwight Yoak him. I
don't know how to say goodbye that.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I will say that post Malone, she doesn't know who
that is.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
The real Ralph actually texted us as well, And actually
I even had a text from the man in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Sent that in that he figured that out.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So real Ralph, you said, kudos to real Ralph. And
by the way, what kind of a mother names their
son post post.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Posty is kind of what the kids?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Is that a real name or is that one of
those like rock star names that he came up with.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Gotta be the latter, gotta be. We should look into that.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Could you look into that real name?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
This text?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Or how about this?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
And I got to say I made the same observation
about the good doctor. I've never heard of a guest
host bringing their own callers.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
A ben Is that ever an honor?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, you know, you labor in these vineyards for a
decade or two. There you go and next thing, you know,
you get to chat with people.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Once in a while.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And we'll head off to that in one second, Brian,
one more second, one quick point. You're gonna see a
lot about the mail in ballots business. Donald Trump is
thinking that mail in ballots are not cool. I agree
with Trump on that, and you're gonna see the left shriek,
I mean shriek about this because somehow.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
They like those mail in balanced like a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And Jenny Griswal done, was it MS now whatever this morning?
Or was it CNN one of those that was with.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Kate Buldman of CNN. Okay, CNN, what sounds right here?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Same thing? Well, let's not, let's not. I can't bear that.
I can't go to the listeners. Yeah, but she compared.
She says, here's the quote.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Trump is obviously taking cues about democracy from a dictator
like Putin.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Hah end quote.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So they're gonna go full Putin on this like you
know other Russia Russia business. And Mark Elias is throwing
a fit about this and all the usual suspects. And
that's how you know it's a good idea Trump is
having here because it's right over the Power Center. Let's
let's look into this, Hey Republicans, Hey Rhinos, you want
to do something, Let's let's look into this. Okay, maybe
(27:59):
even make this happen. I'll hold off and not say
too much more there.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
But Brian in Arvada honored.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You could check in Matt Dunn, sitting in for Dan
kaplis here this evening.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Oh the legend is back, doctor Dunn.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Your voice has gotten deeper since our last chatted with you. Yeah,
are you doing the testoster owner? What that's Yeah?
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Well maybe I should so, uh, but yeah, it's good
to hear your voice again.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Hey, honored, honored, have a chance.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
I had a couple of things that Noble Peace price.
Speaker 12 (28:39):
I mean it's like a bucket of fools gold. You know,
it's all shiny, it looks great, but it has no value.
It's just worthless. So but for some reason, I still
think Trump would take it and kind of smile about it.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh yeah, he'd put that right there next to his hat.
That says quote Trump was right about everything.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
On the wall.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yes, in the merch room and oh he I mean
you saw what was going on Thailand Cambodia. They were
about to go into a full fledged war. And Trump says, hey,
knock it off over there. I'm going to tear a
few guys into oblivion. All of your economies are going
to evaporate if you don't knock it off. And what
do they do? Like, I kid you not. The next
(29:18):
day they knocked it off. I think that alone is
a nobel. I mean, we need we should probably be
at a handful of them, maybe even double digits at
this point.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
And even if.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Hillary is saying it, you know, that's that's how you
know it's deserving, right, Ryan, Well, yeah, he's.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
The best president we ever had. Everybody knows it. I mean,
but the only thing I worry about is this.
Speaker 12 (29:42):
Bondy Okay, Yeah, because you gotta hold people accountable because
you know what's going to happen after these four years,
you know as well as I do, Matt, and we'll
be talking to each other again, going through that another
nightmare with masks and vaccines and all sorts of transgender stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I remember those days.
Speaker 12 (30:02):
Yeah, And you kept everybody saying, but they got to
hold these people responsible.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
And she kind of just I don't know, is she
a girl version of Bill Barr.
Speaker 12 (30:11):
Well, we'll find out, because we need some indictments coming down.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
And she seems to well, Tulsi Gabert d and I
who is an incredibly courageous individual, Tulsi Gabbert. Man, hats
off to Tulsi Gabbert and what she is doing. I mean,
she understands the deep State through and through. She's come
out to speak at the Centennial Summit. Centennial Conservative Summit
met her a time or two. She knows that deep
(30:34):
state inside out, and you need a courageous politician to
do this kind of stuff, and she's got it.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
She's got the deep State back on their heels.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
And it's like, over to you, Bondy, Over to you,
Ag BONDI, your moves.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You ready.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Given her all sorts of I guess referrals. But we'll
see what We'll see what Bondi is. It seems like.
Speaker 12 (30:57):
She talks a little bit loud, and she's got a
big old bar like what.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Was on Fox News like every day.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I think somebody dded up her amount of appearances on
Fox News, and it's it's way up there. I mean,
we might be it was it sixties or seventies already,
and well, I'm not seeing much in the way it
results yet, And maybe that's premature to be skeptical. But
I will tell you this that when I first saw
her name come through to be the ag I was,
I had my certain degree of skepticism, and so I.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Just I hope she can.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I think she can be like a Rubio or like
a Tolzi Gabbard and the surprises in a good way.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
But doctor Dunn, I think that she was the only
one that had bipartisan support.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Right, you got to get through the Senate, and miss
McConnell won't let you through if you're cool, right.
Speaker 12 (31:48):
Yeah, if a Democrat votes for you, there's probably.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Something not good going on. You know.
Speaker 12 (31:55):
It's kind of like if Griswold, if you listen to her,
oh no, mail and ballots are perfect.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
No, you kind of listened to the opposite because she's
been given away code by the way, Damn.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Griswold was saying that she has stopped Trump so many times.
But do you remember that little like try to get
Trump stopped from being on the ballot in Colorado and
the Supreme Court shot that down nine to zero.
Speaker 12 (32:14):
I remember that, And she's still talking about a threat
to democracy. I mean, come on from her, really, I mean,
she's an absolute joke. Everybody knows that she's a liar.
So when you get a liar and they believe in something,
it's probably good.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
Idea is that you just believe in the opposite and
you'll probably be right.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, yeah, that is often applies.
Speaker 12 (32:36):
Brian.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You are onto him. You're good at decoding all this
stuff and looks like Brian, Hey, thank you for checking in.
Let's talk when we can again. And I'll just say
a big thank you and kudos for Dan Kaplis for
letting me Mad Dunn drop into the studio here and
just share a little bit today. Thank you Ryan, Thank
you Kelly, a lot of fun. Thank you for finding
(32:57):
post malone. I'm going to sleep better tonight because you've
on that at any rate, honored you have been in here,
and yeah, maybe one of these days dropped back by.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Thank you now.
