glorious after Nick glad you're here. Three all three seven
one three A two five five the number text d
(00:21):
A N five seven seven three nine. Looks like James Comey,
former FBI director, may be criminally charged in conflicting reports.
Some networks reporting that he is going to be arrested,
he is going to be charged, and some reporting that
the administration close to making a decision on that. So
(00:41):
if you have any thoughts there, and I sure do.
Three or three seven one three A two five five
the number da N five seven seven three nine. Yeah.
And we're going to continue to talk about this Jimmy
Kimmel thing. Right, Lessons learned, and I think any objective
observer would look at it and say, Kimmel is a
scurrellus venomous line. And it is really unfortunate that a
(01:04):
major network gives him a platform. It can't be for
audience size, right, it can't be for revenue, it's some
kind of relationship with the left thing for Disney, but
it's just broof Hey, Donald Trump is human too, right,
I mean, he's done so many great things, so many
just jaw dropping, awe inspiring things, overcoming what he's had
(01:25):
to overcome. But he's human and he makes some mistakes.
And he made one here in getting the FCC involved
and him getting involved and trying to get Kimmel fired.
That's a mistake and it worked out really well for
Jimmy Kimmel because on an average night, Ryan, it's like,
what two handfuls of people who watch his stuff, and
last night it was millions, I think five point nine
(01:47):
million last time I checked, circulating his monologue. So, hey,
Trump's only human mistakes are going to happen to anybody.
But I'll take those in exchange for all of the
great things he is doing. All right, So we're going
to talk about that the Komi thing locally, you know,
this is the thing. I mean, the left can try
to intimidate the critics of Mike Johnston and run them
(02:09):
out and all that stuff, but at the end of
the day, the left can run, but it can't hide
from the fact that its ideas don't work, and the
spiral you see in Denver, and I don't want to
call it a death spiral because I'm an optimist and
I don't want to believe that Denver as we want
it to be is a dead idea. I don't want
(02:29):
to believe that. Obviously, we can all see what's happened
in Denver, and that is it's become two separate cities.
It's become you know, the good Denver, the gleaming Denver,
the prosperous little piece that's great for the people who
are there. And then it's become the rest of Denver.
Can you imagine Ryan a major city, a major city
where depending upon the zip code you live in, you're
(02:53):
going to have ten fewer years on the face of
the earth. I mean, that's the case in Denver, right
the haves and they have not. And so yeah, these
lefty policies are just sending it right down the toilet.
And here's the latest proof of that, a Denver Post article.
Real estate firms are calling it Metro Denver, a buyer's market.
(03:13):
Metro Denver swung sharply toward a buyer's market this summer
isn't summer when you're supposed to sell all those houses.
I know, you try to rotate three or four of
the shooling estates every summer, Yeah, just to keep it fresh,
and according to the article, will likely become more entrenched
in that direction as activity slows in the months ahead.
(03:33):
According to two leading real estate firms, quote, Denver went
from one of the hottest markets to one of the
more challenged markets and then it goes on from there.
So yeah, no surprise. Right. You can have the left
and their media allies try to gloss over this and
gloss over that, but people vote with their feet, and
(03:53):
there's a lot of voting going on in directions outside
of Denver. So all right to all that up, comy,
That's simple for me, right, And I'm looking at the
bigger picture for America and a stable American. As we
talked about during the campaign, one of the reasons Trump
was going to win, you know, as we predicted throughout
the campaign, was America doesn't want to be a banana republic.
(04:16):
A lot of people who don't normally vote for Republicans,
they don't want to raise their kids in a banana republic.
And the fact that Democrats were so obviously perverting the
justice system to jail political opponents. Yeah, America didn't want that.
And even a lot of people who aren't as high
on Donald Trump as you and I might be voted
(04:37):
for him because they don't want to live in a
flipping banana Republic. So this nonsense of the president talking
about using DOJ to punish his opponents, I mean, on
a personal level, I get it. I cannot even imagine
what he's been through, and I get the idea of
wanting to teach the other side a lesson. Don't ever
think about doing this again, because we're going to do
it to you. But for the good of the nation
(05:00):
and to follow the law in the constitution, this cannot happen.
If people are truly guilty of a crime, charge them,
charge them. Hillary Clinton, in retrospects, should have been charged,
and I think Donald Trump, donald Trump, in the interest
of national harmony, you know, his administration did not pursue her. Now,
there might have been some double jeopardy issues because you know,
(05:24):
the Obama administration had tanked that prosecution. But Hillary Clinton
should have been charged. If somebody is clearly guilty, equal
justice for all, charge them. But unless James Comy is
clearly guilty and you've got the goods on him and
you can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, and that's
the same standards that should apply to a homeless person
(05:45):
as to James Comy. But if it's anything short of that,
don't charge him. If you got the evidence, charge him
and we'll find out together. Right, depending on which network
reports are are accurate. Right now, it's like you may
be charged very soon. What's your best guess, young Ryan,
if he is charged, as to what those charges might be. Oh,
(06:07):
that is a great.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Question that could go all the way back to his
decision to have that bizarre was an August press conference
where he decided, you know, no reasonable prosecutor would pursue
charges against Hillary Clinton for her actions with the server,
And it was almost like he was trying to have
his cake and eat it too, like, Hey, I did
the right thing.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
We're kind of tough on her, but we're gonna let
her go.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah. I think if there is a criminal charge there,
I don't know if there's I think statute of limitations
would probably referun on that. My guess is if we
see charges any end, right, it could be stuff we
have no access to. We don't even see it coming.
But I think it would have something to do with
Pasa Warrens. Yeah, with all of that, with all of that,
(06:49):
and so, but we'll find out together. We'll find out together,
and if there are charges, hopefully we'll find out pretty
quickly if they've got the evidence to prove and beyond
a reasonable diet. All I'm saying is, and if you
think I'm wrong, please call the show. Obviously I think it.
I really do believe that God saved Trump and that
Butler Field. I think Trump has been his voters have
(07:12):
saved America twice now and saved democracy in America twice now.
But but I've always prided myself on just pursuing and
telling the truth no matter where it leads. And the
truth is that this is wrong. This is deeply dangerously
wrong to be openly pressuring, you know, your attorney general
(07:37):
to be prosecuting your political opponents. That's not who we
are as a country. If they're guilty of crimes, charge them.
But in the meantime, the president should not be out
there publicly encouraging, you know, the attorney general to be
prosecuting political opponents. It's that's that's not who we are,
(07:57):
and a big reason he won and he deserved to win,
but big Reasonny won as America didn't want the Democrats
doing that. All right, we'll get to a get to
some text as well. This may kind of sum up
the mood of the day, Dan Lock Dems all up? Yeah, Dan,
two handsful of viewers. You say, let's be intellectually honest. Yeah.
(08:20):
I don't think Kimmel has any kind of meaningful audience,
does he? Right?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
No, it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah. Yeah, Well we'll get the exact numbers. But I've
seen him, I think, in multiple stories, and there seems
to be a general consensus that he does not have
a large audience. I mean, what you've got, right is
you've got Disney, and you've got some other networks that
have to appeal to the left. They have these lefty
(08:45):
late night people on. I mean the Colbert that wasn't
a cash cow, right, that's not a cash cow for
the network? Three or three? Someone three eight, two, five five?
The number. Let me get to some sound here. There
is so much great sound today. Do want to get
into these poll numbers quickly? Not to make your eyes
glaze over, but never too early to be thinking about
(09:06):
the midterms, right, They'll be very consequential. Cut one, please, Actually,
I am so used to it. And again, if you
weren't with us yesterday, I just came out of a
trial bubble. I hadn't been on air since August eighteen.
The shows I had done before that were usually remote
because I was in trial preps. So I've just got
to remember, I've got all this sound in front of me.
(09:27):
But it's so much more fun to say, Ryan, cut one, Yeah, what.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Are we seeing?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
You know, Donald Trump being underwater Democrats and all this
guarantees us we're gonna fly high in the midtrants. Let
me tell you this guarantees you nothing. Nothing Because at
this particule of point, the Democrats are the New Orleans
Saints and political parties. What are we talking about, trust
the dens or GOP?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
More?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
On the economy? Who leads on the economy?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Republicans by seven immigration, Republicans by thirteen? How about crime?
A big issue for Donald Trump and the Republicans. Look
at that lead by twenty two points. So the bottom
line is, at this particular point, the ball meet may
be on the ground, but the Democrats have not picked
up the ball.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I'm running with it.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
If anything, at this particular point, it's the Republicans who
are running with the ball on the top issues the economy, immigration,
and crime.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, and the Dems have been exposed, right, So what's
it going to take to win in Colorado? You're on
the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
And now back to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Compare this when Republicans last took the House.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, let's compare it back to twenty twenty two. I
think this kind of gives away the game right here. Okay,
the GOP is more trusted than the Dems. On the economy,
it was twelve points in twenty twenty two, slight slight
decline in.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
That lead, but still seven points.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Have an immigration, it was Republicans by three back in
twenty twenty two. Look at this, the Republican lea's actually
gone up by ten points.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What are you doing, Democrats?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
My goodness, gracious. And on crime, the Republicans are up
by thirteen, and now they're up by twenty two, the
lead again expanding by nearly double ditches. So whatever Democrats
are doing, it ain't working, Kate, It ain't working Republicans
have the lely on all.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Three is what GODA like Kerry's style? Right, So yeah,
so should bode well for the mid terms. I assume
it would. And polling normally at least understate support for Trump,
and I think that's true to a certain extent for
GOP as well. But it does and this is not
you know, a Joe. It leads to the question why
would anybody support the Democrats? And I really would like
(11:28):
your take on that, and I think figuring out the
answer to that is important to you know, cracking the
code on how the GOP can win statewide again in Colorado.
But literally right now, why would anybody support a say,
a Democrat for Congress in the midterm. Let's let's start
with that. So three O three seOne three A two
five five the number techs d A N five seven
(11:50):
seven three nine. Now I understand as a former Democrat myself,
I understand that part of that is just, you know,
the stereotype of the GOP that an awful lot of
us grow up with, right I certainly grew up with
that as a kid in Chicago, the greatest parents you
could ever imagine. But there was this stereotype of the GOP,
and yeah, just stereotype of you know, rich white people
(12:13):
didn't care about working people, didn't care about the week
in defense, just didn't care about people of color. That stereotype,
which again an awful lot of people grow up with
from birth. And I think, you know, the single key
to the GOP just completely changing the paradigm in this
country for the better is cutting through that stereotype. And
(12:34):
I think you're seeing the GOP be real smart about
that in a lot of places. In a number of ways.
One is with the candidates they select. I mean, right now,
I think just neutral observation, generally speaking, GOP candidates at
virtually every level are just far superior. And you see
true diversity in the GOP right now, I think more
(12:56):
so than you do in the Democratic Party. And we
can get into the definition of true diversity, but obviously
you see a lot of racial diversity as well and critically,
and President Trump has led the GOP. There a lasting
gift to the GOP which will outlive his tenure, and
that is becoming the Party of the working people. Because
(13:16):
two things. One is, if you're not the party of
the working people, why are you even here, because if
you're not the Party of the working people, you're never
going to be able to lead this country where it
needs to go. Number two, you're not going to win
if you're not the party of the working people, said
the GOP becoming the Party of the working people for
a lot of different reasons. So all of that good,
(13:36):
but why does anybody still support Dems? And I ask
that literally a texture to DN five seven seven three nine, Dan.
I like the way the guy talks on cut one?
Who is that? Thank you for the reminder, because anybody
you'd ever done a talk show before would have told
you who that was when he played the cut. But
(13:56):
having been off for a month now, I'm like a blank.
It's like one of those movies, Ryan, right, where all
of a sudden there was a big thunderstorm and then
you completely forget how to do something like do a
talk show. Bruce and Westminster. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Welcome Ryan's neck to say.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Hey, Dan, thank you very much? A yeah. What will
it take for the GOP to win in Colorado? Right? Yes, okay,
we will have to respect every individual's right to whether
they want to carry a pregnancy to term. Or not
until we respect other people to make their decision have
(14:37):
of the state when I vote for the.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
GOP, Bruce, I may have misunderstood. Were you talking about
how to destroy the GOP as a party so that
it's a complete non factor, Because if that's what you're
talking about, then your advice is well taken.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
No, I'm talking about widal take to win. If you
go back in time forty years when we won in
the state, we didn't get our nose in to that.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
My friend, we may we may have to visit the
history books together.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Women to make their own choices.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Well, I think the starting point is we have to
respect women enough not to kill them. And and abortion
kills many thousands of women a year in Colorado. But
let's go back. Let's start with history. So when was
it that the GOP last one in Colorado? Who was
that let's say governor.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
That would let's say governor that would be that would
be Bill Owens?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, right? And and so you're saying Bill Owens was
pro abortion because he was the opposite.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
No, what I'm saying is when we went on a
regular basis going back to the seventies and eighties, Yeah,
you have we had basically candidates who didn't get involved
in this. You understand that, actually can understand the passion.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
No, no, no, no, no, we want no. You sound wonderful, Bruce,
and I love the conversation. But don't condescend. This isn't passion.
This is logic in fact and analysis that Trump's yours.
So don't condescend with the passion argument. And you've got
your facts wrong. Bill Owens was pro life when the
GOP was winning regularly. It was winning regularly as pro life.
(16:11):
Look it up.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Well, obviously we have a different set of facts, and
I guess that's where the problem. No, no, do you ask
me my opinion. I gave you my opinion. Of course
you want to run, so we never went in the state. Okay, no, no.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Let me ask you this. Then let me ask you this,
my friend. And that is the Joe O'Day example. Doesn't
that prove you wrong and me right?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Joe Joe O'Day was a flip flopper.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
He never flopped or flight on anything.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
I as I remember, he flipped and blopped on dar
near everything.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Give me some examples.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Well, he basically which way was was? He was? He
basically pro life? Or was he pro choice?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
He was choice all the way. Yeah, and listen to
and Bruce. Joe O'Day was in every other way one
of the best GOP candidates we've ever seen, except.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
For the factor the way. So in the way he
wasn't good, as you're saying on the life issue.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, it's not just me, my friend.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Choice issue, however you wanted to find it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Well, it's the life issue. But my friend, look at
what the voters did. Your theory is for the GOP
to win, we have to abandon the unborn, we have
to abandon the life issue. And Joe Oday proved the
opposite is true. He was a very attractive candidate on
every other level, and he was openly pro choice, and
he got creamed at. John Kellner, my current law partner,
(17:42):
you know, did far better than Joe Oday.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Okay, them really really let me share with you what
I saw. Okay, I see, Okay, the GOP party being
at being being okay, the party of smaller guys, government
and government out of our lives. There is no reason
whatsoever for the government to be involved in a woman's
(18:07):
choice if she wants to come.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Oh no, no, no, Berce. But here's where you're wrong. It's
the ultimate big government that says an innocent life is
going to be taken. It's the ultimate big government that says, okay, no,
we can kill innocent human life. That's the ultimate in
big government.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Really, really, no one forces a woman to have an abortion.
It should be her choice and hers alone, with no
one else involved except the purpose.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We've got about twenty seconds. Can we agree on this
as a matter of fact, just scientific fact. That's a
separate life that's being killed in every abortion. It's not
the woman's body being destroyed. It's a separate life. And
I'm glad Bruce and I can agree on that, because
once we agree on that, we should be able to
agree you can't kill innocent life.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
That we have always been a work in progress. You know,
we haven't gotten to the more perfect union, and.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
We fought a civil war over part of it.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
And people have been protesting, you know, for hundreds of
years that you know, things were not as they should
be given our ideals and how we should be moving
toward them. So I think that's what makes us so
special as a country, and the idea that you could
turn the clock back and try to recreate a world
(19:35):
that never was dominated by you know, let's say it,
white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a
certain point of view, a certain ideology. It's just doing
such damage to what we should be aiming for. And
we were on the path toward that, I mean imperfectly.
Lots of you know, bumps along the way, but I
(19:56):
agree with you, we were on the right trajectory.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
The so afraid of Christianity. The left is terrified of Christianity.
And ask yourself why, whether you're Christian or not, and
I happen to be cathol Christian, why is the left
so terrified of Christianity? Right, you can hear it in
her voice. You've seen a terrified left. Well, latest example
(20:22):
the Charlie Kirk memorial. Because they know if Christians vote
their faith, and that doesn't mean voting for a Christian candidate,
that means voting for a candidate who is going to
use the power you give them to pursue policies in
office that are consistent with your core beliefs. The left
(20:45):
knows if Christians vote their faith, the left is dead
on arrival, dead in the water. They'll never win again.
The left is terrified. So and we all know the
left lies right because they can't win on the truth.
The left lies. And so what we saw at the
Charlie Kirk memorial, Ryan, it sure looked to me as
if women were allowed at the Charlie Kirk memorial. I thought,
(21:08):
I thought he saw his wife.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
There would the Handmaid's Tale, That's what I was told.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I thought I saw a pretty healthy mix of men
and women at the Charlie Kirk Memorial. So while the left,
Hillary Clinton and others try to code it as you know,
white men, what they're really talking about our Christians. That's
what terrifies them is people actually living their faith. Now,
it could be people living a lot of different faiths.
(21:33):
That would terrify them if people actually voted their faith.
But you know, since there are so many Christians, they
are most terrified of Christianity, most terrified of doing what
Jesus has called us to do right, which is to
live it out in the streets, which includes the voting booths.
(21:53):
Three or three someone three eight, two five have the
number of great conversation. I appreciate the earlier caller who
called them the topic, Okay, what does the GOP have
to do to win in Colorado? And he said, well,
the GOP has to become pro choice, which means, of
course pro abortion. But people don't want to say abortion
because everybody knows it means killingness in life. So they
try to say choice, or they try to say reproductive rights,
(22:17):
anything but abortion. Right. Remember how we had all these groups,
you know, National Abortion Rights Action League and Colorado versions
of abortion, this abortion that they can't run fast enough
or far enough away from the word abortion because something
happened along the way ultrasounds and people could see, why
does that's a human life? Nobody ever showed you the
(22:40):
ultrasound and said look at my feetus. So now they
got to run away from that word abortion. Anyway, that
the point of the gentleman who I enjoyed speaking with
was said, no, Colorado GOP to win has to become
pro choice. And as I pointed out to him, and
I think this is undeniable fact. If you want the
Colorado GOP to go away, if you want it to
(23:00):
become a true minority party getting about ten to fifteen
percent of the vogue, then become pro choice, because the
day you do that the Colorado GOP, the National GOP,
if it pursued that doctor Kovorkian strategy would go away,
it would no longer be a meaningful force in politics.
(23:20):
And I don't know how anybody could argue that to
the contrary, because the thing about pro life people is
that it rises above any of these other political issues,
because it is that the civil rights issue of our lifetime.
None of these other rights matter if they kill you.
(23:41):
And that's what it is. This isn't philosophy or religion
or anything else. It's cold hard medical fact. That's the
taking of a separate, innocent human life. And so for
pro lifers, there's nothing in it for us, right, there's
nothing in it for us, at least not on this earth.
And so the whole point is every pro lifer has
(24:03):
decided they're going to use their vote to save innocent
human life. Why in the world, How in the world
could any pro lifer support a candidate from a party
who is going to use the power we give them
with our vote to go out and expand maintain support
the mass killing of innocent life. No, it's a lunacy.
(24:24):
So people who call and say that, I just stren't
thinking it through. Can the GOP win pro life? You
bet it can. We've seen it happen all over the country.
And the best chance the GOP has to win in
Colorado is as a strongly pro life party. And then
how do you define that? You define that way beyond
(24:48):
the natural essential starting point of protecting innocent life before births,
but you extend it way beyond that, and then you
expose the Democrats for being the true ghastly, ghastly extremists
they are, because if you pin down Michael Bennett, or
take your pick any of these Democrats, you pin them
(25:09):
down that they are committed to a truly ghastly position
that the vast majority of Coloradens would reject, which is
the legal killing of children just before births. Virtually all
Coloradens see that as in fantaside. But these Democrat candidates,
who pretend to be moderates, are committed to that position,
(25:32):
and then beyond that their anti life in so many
other ways that continue beyond the birth stage. So appreciate
the call. Appreciate the call from that gentleman, and it's
a good chance to discuss this and again Exhibit A.
And we're fortunate to have it because clearly no GOP
Senate candidate was going to win in the twenty two cycle.
But Joe O'Day was just a great example for the ages,
(25:53):
a wonderful guy, a tremendous GOP candidate for Senate in
every way except to support for legal abortion. And he
got pounded. John Kellner, my law partner, managing partner of
our firm, got more votes in the AGS or aage's
race than Joe Day got in the center race.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, it did not help Joe O Day. It hurt
Joe Day because you know what, somebody who's fully committed,
that's their number one issue is the legal legalized killing
before births of children. They're not going to vote for
republic and ever. All you're going to do is leak
GOP support. Let's go to Jeff Coe. Welcome Tony to
(26:35):
the dan Caplis show. Welcome. Besides, what's the point of winning.
It doesn't make any sense to win unless you're going
to do the right thing with it. If somebody said today, okay, GOP,
you could win if you supported legal abortion, I still
wouldn't support it because that would be losing. The only
reason to want to win is to do the right thing. Hey, Tony,
(26:58):
what are you thinking?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Well, be honest, Bruce got me completely.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Discombobulated, because, in my opinion, you're a lot more generous
than me.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
But he's do complete evil.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I think that abortion is the the handwork of the devil.
It's the most god awful thing I can even imagine.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
It gives me the shivers.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
And then for Bruce to say we need to give
women the choice, well, listen, I had a niece give
birth just recently. Let's say I went over to her
house the day after she gave birth. Why can't I
take that life?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Why does she.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Have that rules?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
It's disgusting, It infuriates me.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
It's as you can see, it's just it.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Makes me cry Tony appreciate the call. I would not
refer to Bruce as evil at all, because because the
reality is, and it's one of the reasons life is
going to prevail in the end, and it's arcting toward
life lots of places in America is so many of
the people who currently support legalized abortion are well intentioned people.
(28:17):
They're not evil people. They're good people who are just
thinking about it superficially. They're well intentioned but they're persuadable.
And the good thing is we've got the truth, We've
got the medical truth, we've got the truth on every level.
And so these are persuadable people who I do not
view as evil at all. Now you have some hard
course who are absolutely committed to sometimes it's our financial gains,
(28:41):
sometimes political gain. The least forgivable in the moral sense
of all of them are the elected officials who know
their support for abortion is absolutely dead wrong, literally, but
they do it for their own political power. So you've
got your hardcorese who know they're acting evilly they must
and are committed to acting in an evil way. But
you've got so many people supporting legal abortion. No that
(29:04):
they're well intentioned, that that they're persuadable. And our job, okay,
it's on us. It's a privilege to have. This job
is go out and persuade them and save a lot
of lives. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Kind of fall we're used to in Colorado. But boy,
we really needed that water, didn't we. Holy cow and
grateful to have it. But love the sunshine three all
three seven one three eight two five five takes d
an five seven seven three nine. We'll talk about this
a little more in the five o'clock hour, but there
are so many ways that legalization of marijuana and Colorado
(29:46):
has undermined this state, starting with the youth. We talk
about it a lot, but I do want to make
sure you're aware of this latest example, and it's one
I've mentioned before, but there's a fresh twist on it.
You know, this monster mass murderer, Robert Deere who shot
up the Planned Parenthood clinic and killed a bunch of people. Well,
a lot of people forget and a lot of media
(30:07):
don't want to report that he came to Colorado for
legal marijuana, and now he's two nuts to fry, he's
two nuts to try, and federal court just apparently very
appropriately found that he was not competent and not competent
to stand trial and probably never would be. So, you know,
obviously legalization of marijuana was going to attract a lot
(30:30):
of people to this state that this state should not
be trying to attract in terms of, you know, people
who are building a lifestyle around drugs, etc. And I'm
not at all judging or condemning It's not a moral
thing to me. If some adult wants to, you know,
do marijuana in the privacy of their own home, that
doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is when
(30:52):
a state sets up a distribution system that it knows
is going to undermine the youth of the state and
is going to cause a lot of carnage. That really
bothers me because the dope ain't worth it, not to
society as a whole. Three all three seven one three
eight two five five the number techs d an five
seven seven three nine. So lot's going on in the world,
(31:16):
young Ryan. What jumps up to you? Everybody knows Ryan
does a great show in the Denver market two to
four each day on six point thirty kh aw. What
rises to the top today, my friend, is the shiny object,
the most important interesting thing out there.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
It's got to be the Kimmel return to the airwaves.
He got record numbers of views, downloads, probably his best
ratings you'll ever get. And how the biggest descent in
those ratings and tonight's program because I don't think he
moved the needle, Dan.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
He kind of fed the.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Usual suspects the people in his own choir.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
He was preaching to them.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
He didn't really apologize, he didn't retract what he said.
He tried to soft peddle it and didn't walk it
back at all. And I don't think that that brought
anybody into the conversation. I had mentioned earlier on my
program a theory and maybe it's too soon.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Some of the Texters said the conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
No, but that Jimmy Kimmel might have done a lot
of good by having Erica kirk as his first guest
on his program last night.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
No good, good, creative sinking. And I assume he did not. No,
do you think she would have gone?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
I think maybe she would have it.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
I think she would have. But I think this is
valuable long term right, because hey, Trump's not perfect. I
think he's historically great, but he's not perfect. And it
was a huge mistake right to imply government action against
ABC for Kimmel's lives. And hopefully, you know, the administration
has learned from this and it won't happen again, because
(32:47):
all it did was help Kimmel. And Kimmel does some vile,
vile stuff, I mean what he started with. Yeah, it's
as bad as it gets.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
We had some new lows over the weekend with the
Maggie Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and
do everything they can to score political points from it.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
That's a premeditated, deliberate, scurrilous lie. Right. So I've got
no problem if ABC says, you know what, we really
don't want liars on our air. If you're talking about
political viewpoint, you know, I'm a lot more uneasy. I'm
very uneasy, you know, with people getting dumped over political viewpoint.
You're ABC, You're doing a comedy show. If it's not funny,
(33:30):
if people aren't watching, get rid of them, regardless of
political viewpoint. But firing somebody over political viewpoint, I'm very
very uneasy about that. I don't think we should be
in the business of doing that. But firing somebody for lying,
you bet, no matter which direction they're lie cuts anybody
who owns a network, any local affiliate, if they say,
(33:51):
wait a second, we don't want liars on air. That's
a lot different than political viewpoint. And with Jimmy Kimmel,
you just have a flat out liar and so I
would have no gripe with AVC and or individual affiliates saying, Nook,
get it off our air. I just don't want the
government involved in that. Listen, if it's actionable in the
form of defamation, then you got a different critter. But
(34:13):
now that that should that should not be. That should
not be the role of government in that situation. And
I think that Trump administration, you can see that all
they did was help Kimmel here, and hopefully we won't
see any of that again because obviously the president is
doing historically great stuff on a lot of fronts. So
(34:34):
but he's only human. We're all going to have some
unforced errors, and that was one of his. Did you
watch the whole show?
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Ryan? No?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
No, Yeah, for you, Dan, because that's how much I
care about you.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Which I truly appreciate the audience.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I went through the whole monologue and chopped it up
into the clips that you find in your sheet right there.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
You are a very very good man. Thank you, you're well,
thank you. But yeah, so hopefully now Kimmel, it will
just you know, you'll take effect and of its own weight.
It will just the audience will keep going down and
down and down and that'll take care of itself. So
hopefully lesson learned for the right, but in particular because again,
(35:15):
you know, America doesn't want to be censored. And so
you've had so much well deserved support for President Trump
in sixteen, you know, and again in this cycle because
he's a straight talker. He's the opposite of left. The
left is all about censorships. So knock this stuff off.
(35:35):
And I'm very confident he will. This business of trying
to force people affair, that's not his brand. Trump's brand
hard earned and it's a blast to behold, is you know,
straight talker. He's not afraid of debate. Bring it on,
I'll interview with anybody. Let's get back to that and
continue the greatness on The Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Kaples, and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Kaplis 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. Started on this
glorious after Nick glad you're here. Three all three seven
one three A two five five the number text d
(00:21):
A N five seven seven three nine. Looks like James Comey,
former FBI director, may be criminally charged in conflicting reports.
Some networks reporting that he is going to be arrested,
he is going to be charged, and some reporting that
the administration close to making a decision on that. So
(00:41):
if you have any thoughts there, and I sure do.
Three or three seven one three A two five five
the number da N five seven seven three nine. Yeah.
And we're going to continue to talk about this Jimmy
Kimmel thing. Right, Lessons learned, and I think any objective
observer would look at it and say, Kimmel is a
scurrellus venomous line. And it is really unfortunate that a
(01:04):
major network gives him a platform. It can't be for
audience size, right, it can't be for revenue, it's some
kind of relationship with the left thing for Disney, but
it's just broof Hey, Donald Trump is human too, right,
I mean, he's done so many great things, so many
just jaw dropping, awe inspiring things, overcoming what he's had
(01:25):
to overcome. But he's human and he makes some mistakes.
And he made one here in getting the FCC involved
and him getting involved and trying to get Kimmel fired.
That's a mistake and it worked out really well for
Jimmy Kimmel because on an average night, Ryan, it's like,
what two handfuls of people who watch his stuff, and
last night it was millions, I think five point nine
(01:47):
million last time I checked, circulating his monologue. So, hey,
Trump's only human mistakes are going to happen to anybody.
But I'll take those in exchange for all of the
great things he is doing. All right, So we're going
to talk about that the Komi thing locally, you know,
this is the thing. I mean, the left can try
to intimidate the critics of Mike Johnston and run them
(02:09):
out and all that stuff, but at the end of
the day, the left can run, but it can't hide
from the fact that its ideas don't work, and the
spiral you see in Denver, and I don't want to
call it a death spiral because I'm an optimist and
I don't want to believe that Denver as we want
it to be is a dead idea. I don't want
(02:29):
to believe that. Obviously, we can all see what's happened
in Denver, and that is it's become two separate cities.
It's become you know, the good Denver, the gleaming Denver,
the prosperous little piece that's great for the people who
are there. And then it's become the rest of Denver.
Can you imagine Ryan a major city, a major city
where depending upon the zip code you live in, you're
(02:53):
going to have ten fewer years on the face of
the earth. I mean, that's the case in Denver, right
the haves and they have not. And so yeah, these
lefty policies are just sending it right down the toilet.
And here's the latest proof of that, a Denver Post article.
Real estate firms are calling it Metro Denver, a buyer's market.
(03:13):
Metro Denver swung sharply toward a buyer's market this summer
isn't summer when you're supposed to sell all those houses.
I know, you try to rotate three or four of
the shooling estates every summer, Yeah, just to keep it fresh,
and according to the article, will likely become more entrenched
in that direction as activity slows in the months ahead.
(03:33):
According to two leading real estate firms, quote, Denver went
from one of the hottest markets to one of the
more challenged markets and then it goes on from there.
So yeah, no surprise. Right. You can have the left
and their media allies try to gloss over this and
gloss over that, but people vote with their feet, and
(03:53):
there's a lot of voting going on in directions outside
of Denver. So all right to all that up, comy,
That's simple for me, right, And I'm looking at the
bigger picture for America and a stable American. As we
talked about during the campaign, one of the reasons Trump
was going to win, you know, as we predicted throughout
the campaign, was America doesn't want to be a banana republic.
(04:16):
A lot of people who don't normally vote for Republicans,
they don't want to raise their kids in a banana republic.
And the fact that Democrats were so obviously perverting the
justice system to jail political opponents. Yeah, America didn't want that.
And even a lot of people who aren't as high
on Donald Trump as you and I might be voted
(04:37):
for him because they don't want to live in a
flipping banana Republic. So this nonsense of the president talking
about using DOJ to punish his opponents, I mean, on
a personal level, I get it. I cannot even imagine
what he's been through, and I get the idea of
wanting to teach the other side a lesson. Don't ever
think about doing this again, because we're going to do
it to you. But for the good of the nation
(05:00):
and to follow the law in the constitution, this cannot happen.
If people are truly guilty of a crime, charge them,
charge them. Hillary Clinton, in retrospects, should have been charged,
and I think Donald Trump, donald Trump, in the interest
of national harmony, you know, his administration did not pursue her. Now,
there might have been some double jeopardy issues because you know,
(05:24):
the Obama administration had tanked that prosecution. But Hillary Clinton
should have been charged. If somebody is clearly guilty, equal
justice for all, charge them. But unless James Comy is
clearly guilty and you've got the goods on him and
you can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, and that's
the same standards that should apply to a homeless person
(05:45):
as to James Comy. But if it's anything short of that,
don't charge him. If you got the evidence, charge him
and we'll find out together. Right, depending on which network
reports are are accurate. Right now, it's like you may
be charged very soon. What's your best guess, young Ryan,
if he is charged, as to what those charges might be. Oh,
(06:07):
that is a great.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Question that could go all the way back to his
decision to have that bizarre was an August press conference
where he decided, you know, no reasonable prosecutor would pursue
charges against Hillary Clinton for her actions with the server,
And it was almost like he was trying to have
his cake and eat it too, like, Hey, I did
the right thing.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
We're kind of tough on her, but we're gonna let
her go.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah. I think if there is a criminal charge there,
I don't know if there's I think statute of limitations
would probably referun on that. My guess is if we
see charges any end, right, it could be stuff we
have no access to. We don't even see it coming.
But I think it would have something to do with
Pasa Warrens. Yeah, with all of that, with all of that,
(06:49):
and so, but we'll find out together. We'll find out together,
and if there are charges, hopefully we'll find out pretty
quickly if they've got the evidence to prove and beyond
a reasonable diet. All I'm saying is, and if you
think I'm wrong, please call the show. Obviously I think it.
I really do believe that God saved Trump and that
Butler Field. I think Trump has been his voters have
(07:12):
saved America twice now and saved democracy in America twice now.
But but I've always prided myself on just pursuing and
telling the truth no matter where it leads. And the
truth is that this is wrong. This is deeply dangerously
wrong to be openly pressuring, you know, your attorney general
(07:37):
to be prosecuting your political opponents. That's not who we
are as a country. If they're guilty of crimes, charge them.
But in the meantime, the president should not be out
there publicly encouraging, you know, the attorney general to be
prosecuting political opponents. It's that's that's not who we are,
(07:57):
and a big reason he won and he deserved to win,
but big Reasonny won as America didn't want the Democrats
doing that. All right, we'll get to a get to
some text as well. This may kind of sum up
the mood of the day, Dan Lock Dems all up? Yeah, Dan,
two handsful of viewers. You say, let's be intellectually honest. Yeah.
(08:20):
I don't think Kimmel has any kind of meaningful audience,
does he? Right?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
No, it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah. Yeah, Well we'll get the exact numbers. But I've
seen him, I think, in multiple stories, and there seems
to be a general consensus that he does not have
a large audience. I mean, what you've got, right is
you've got Disney, and you've got some other networks that
have to appeal to the left. They have these lefty
(08:45):
late night people on. I mean the Colbert that wasn't
a cash cow, right, that's not a cash cow for
the network? Three or three? Someone three eight, two, five five?
The number. Let me get to some sound here. There
is so much great sound today. Do want to get
into these poll numbers quickly? Not to make your eyes
glaze over, but never too early to be thinking about
(09:06):
the midterms, right, They'll be very consequential. Cut one, please, Actually,
I am so used to it. And again, if you
weren't with us yesterday, I just came out of a
trial bubble. I hadn't been on air since August eighteen.
The shows I had done before that were usually remote
because I was in trial preps. So I've just got
to remember, I've got all this sound in front of me.
(09:27):
But it's so much more fun to say, Ryan, cut one, Yeah, what.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Are we seeing?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
You know, Donald Trump being underwater Democrats and all this
guarantees us we're gonna fly high in the midtrants. Let
me tell you this guarantees you nothing. Nothing Because at
this particule of point, the Democrats are the New Orleans
Saints and political parties. What are we talking about, trust
the dens or GOP?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
More?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
On the economy? Who leads on the economy?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Republicans by seven immigration, Republicans by thirteen? How about crime?
A big issue for Donald Trump and the Republicans. Look
at that lead by twenty two points. So the bottom
line is, at this particular point, the ball meet may
be on the ground, but the Democrats have not picked
up the ball.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I'm running with it.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
If anything, at this particular point, it's the Republicans who
are running with the ball on the top issues the economy, immigration,
and crime.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, and the Dems have been exposed, right, So what's
it going to take to win in Colorado? You're on
the Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
And now back to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Compare this when Republicans last took the House.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, let's compare it back to twenty twenty two. I
think this kind of gives away the game right here. Okay,
the GOP is more trusted than the Dems. On the economy,
it was twelve points in twenty twenty two, slight slight
decline in.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
That lead, but still seven points.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Have an immigration, it was Republicans by three back in
twenty twenty two. Look at this, the Republican lea's actually
gone up by ten points.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What are you doing, Democrats?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
My goodness, gracious. And on crime, the Republicans are up
by thirteen, and now they're up by twenty two, the
lead again expanding by nearly double ditches. So whatever Democrats
are doing, it ain't working, Kate, It ain't working Republicans
have the lely on all.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Three is what GODA like Kerry's style? Right, So yeah,
so should bode well for the mid terms. I assume
it would. And polling normally at least understate support for Trump,
and I think that's true to a certain extent for
GOP as well. But it does and this is not
you know, a Joe. It leads to the question why
would anybody support the Democrats? And I really would like
(11:28):
your take on that, and I think figuring out the
answer to that is important to you know, cracking the
code on how the GOP can win statewide again in Colorado.
But literally right now, why would anybody support a say,
a Democrat for Congress in the midterm. Let's let's start
with that. So three O three seOne three A two
five five the number techs d A N five seven
(11:50):
seven three nine. Now I understand as a former Democrat myself,
I understand that part of that is just, you know,
the stereotype of the GOP that an awful lot of
us grow up with, right I certainly grew up with
that as a kid in Chicago, the greatest parents you
could ever imagine. But there was this stereotype of the GOP,
and yeah, just stereotype of you know, rich white people
(12:13):
didn't care about working people, didn't care about the week
in defense, just didn't care about people of color. That stereotype,
which again an awful lot of people grow up with
from birth. And I think, you know, the single key
to the GOP just completely changing the paradigm in this
country for the better is cutting through that stereotype. And
(12:34):
I think you're seeing the GOP be real smart about
that in a lot of places. In a number of ways.
One is with the candidates they select. I mean, right now,
I think just neutral observation, generally speaking, GOP candidates at
virtually every level are just far superior. And you see
true diversity in the GOP right now, I think more
(12:56):
so than you do in the Democratic Party. And we
can get into the definition of true diversity, but obviously
you see a lot of racial diversity as well and critically,
and President Trump has led the GOP. There a lasting
gift to the GOP which will outlive his tenure, and
that is becoming the Party of the working people. Because
(13:16):
two things. One is, if you're not the party of
the working people, why are you even here, because if
you're not the Party of the working people, you're never
going to be able to lead this country where it
needs to go. Number two, you're not going to win
if you're not the party of the working people, said
the GOP becoming the Party of the working people for
a lot of different reasons. So all of that good,
(13:36):
but why does anybody still support Dems? And I ask
that literally a texture to DN five seven seven three nine, Dan.
I like the way the guy talks on cut one?
Who is that? Thank you for the reminder, because anybody
you'd ever done a talk show before would have told
you who that was when he played the cut. But
(13:56):
having been off for a month now, I'm like a blank.
It's like one of those movies, Ryan, right, where all
of a sudden there was a big thunderstorm and then
you completely forget how to do something like do a
talk show. Bruce and Westminster. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Welcome Ryan's neck to say.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Hey, Dan, thank you very much? A yeah. What will
it take for the GOP to win in Colorado? Right? Yes, okay,
we will have to respect every individual's right to whether
they want to carry a pregnancy to term. Or not
until we respect other people to make their decision have
(14:37):
of the state when I vote for the.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
GOP, Bruce, I may have misunderstood. Were you talking about
how to destroy the GOP as a party so that
it's a complete non factor, Because if that's what you're
talking about, then your advice is well taken.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
No, I'm talking about widal take to win. If you
go back in time forty years when we won in
the state, we didn't get our nose in to that.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
My friend, we may we may have to visit the
history books together.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Women to make their own choices.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Well, I think the starting point is we have to
respect women enough not to kill them. And and abortion
kills many thousands of women a year in Colorado. But
let's go back. Let's start with history. So when was
it that the GOP last one in Colorado? Who was
that let's say governor.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
That would let's say governor that would be that would
be Bill Owens?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, right? And and so you're saying Bill Owens was
pro abortion because he was the opposite.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
No, what I'm saying is when we went on a
regular basis going back to the seventies and eighties, Yeah,
you have we had basically candidates who didn't get involved
in this. You understand that, actually can understand the passion.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
No, no, no, no, no, we want no. You sound wonderful, Bruce,
and I love the conversation. But don't condescend. This isn't passion.
This is logic in fact and analysis that Trump's yours.
So don't condescend with the passion argument. And you've got
your facts wrong. Bill Owens was pro life when the
GOP was winning regularly. It was winning regularly as pro life.
(16:11):
Look it up.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Well, obviously we have a different set of facts, and
I guess that's where the problem. No, no, do you ask
me my opinion. I gave you my opinion. Of course
you want to run, so we never went in the state. Okay, no, no.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Let me ask you this. Then let me ask you this,
my friend. And that is the Joe O'Day example. Doesn't
that prove you wrong and me right?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Joe Joe O'Day was a flip flopper.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
He never flopped or flight on anything.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
I as I remember, he flipped and blopped on dar
near everything.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Give me some examples.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Well, he basically which way was was? He was? He
basically pro life? Or was he pro choice?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
He was choice all the way. Yeah, and listen to
and Bruce. Joe O'Day was in every other way one
of the best GOP candidates we've ever seen, except.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
For the factor the way. So in the way he
wasn't good, as you're saying on the life issue.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, it's not just me, my friend.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Choice issue, however you wanted to find it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Well, it's the life issue. But my friend, look at
what the voters did. Your theory is for the GOP
to win, we have to abandon the unborn, we have
to abandon the life issue. And Joe Oday proved the
opposite is true. He was a very attractive candidate on
every other level, and he was openly pro choice, and
he got creamed at. John Kellner, my current law partner,
(17:42):
you know, did far better than Joe Oday.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Okay, them really really let me share with you what
I saw. Okay, I see, Okay, the GOP party being
at being being okay, the party of smaller guys, government
and government out of our lives. There is no reason
whatsoever for the government to be involved in a woman's
(18:07):
choice if she wants to come.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Oh no, no, no, Berce. But here's where you're wrong. It's
the ultimate big government that says an innocent life is
going to be taken. It's the ultimate big government that says, okay, no,
we can kill innocent human life. That's the ultimate in
big government.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Really, really, no one forces a woman to have an abortion.
It should be her choice and hers alone, with no
one else involved except the purpose.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We've got about twenty seconds. Can we agree on this
as a matter of fact, just scientific fact. That's a
separate life that's being killed in every abortion. It's not
the woman's body being destroyed. It's a separate life. And
I'm glad Bruce and I can agree on that, because
once we agree on that, we should be able to
agree you can't kill innocent life.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
That we have always been a work in progress. You know,
we haven't gotten to the more perfect union, and.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
We fought a civil war over part of it.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
And people have been protesting, you know, for hundreds of
years that you know, things were not as they should
be given our ideals and how we should be moving
toward them. So I think that's what makes us so
special as a country, and the idea that you could
turn the clock back and try to recreate a world
(19:35):
that never was dominated by you know, let's say it,
white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a
certain point of view, a certain ideology. It's just doing
such damage to what we should be aiming for. And
we were on the path toward that, I mean imperfectly.
Lots of you know, bumps along the way, but I
(19:56):
agree with you, we were on the right trajectory.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
The so afraid of Christianity. The left is terrified of Christianity.
And ask yourself why, whether you're Christian or not, and
I happen to be cathol Christian, why is the left
so terrified of Christianity? Right, you can hear it in
her voice. You've seen a terrified left. Well, latest example
(20:22):
the Charlie Kirk memorial. Because they know if Christians vote
their faith, and that doesn't mean voting for a Christian candidate,
that means voting for a candidate who is going to
use the power you give them to pursue policies in
office that are consistent with your core beliefs. The left
(20:45):
knows if Christians vote their faith, the left is dead
on arrival, dead in the water. They'll never win again.
The left is terrified. So and we all know the
left lies right because they can't win on the truth.
The left lies. And so what we saw at the
Charlie Kirk memorial, Ryan, it sure looked to me as
if women were allowed at the Charlie Kirk memorial. I thought,
(21:08):
I thought he saw his wife.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
There would the Handmaid's Tale, That's what I was told.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I thought I saw a pretty healthy mix of men
and women at the Charlie Kirk Memorial. So while the left,
Hillary Clinton and others try to code it as you know,
white men, what they're really talking about our Christians. That's
what terrifies them is people actually living their faith. Now,
it could be people living a lot of different faiths.
(21:33):
That would terrify them if people actually voted their faith.
But you know, since there are so many Christians, they
are most terrified of Christianity, most terrified of doing what
Jesus has called us to do right, which is to
live it out in the streets, which includes the voting booths.
(21:53):
Three or three someone three eight, two five have the
number of great conversation. I appreciate the earlier caller who
called them the topic, Okay, what does the GOP have
to do to win in Colorado? And he said, well,
the GOP has to become pro choice, which means, of
course pro abortion. But people don't want to say abortion
because everybody knows it means killingness in life. So they
try to say choice, or they try to say reproductive rights,
(22:17):
anything but abortion. Right. Remember how we had all these groups,
you know, National Abortion Rights Action League and Colorado versions
of abortion, this abortion that they can't run fast enough
or far enough away from the word abortion because something
happened along the way ultrasounds and people could see, why
does that's a human life? Nobody ever showed you the
(22:40):
ultrasound and said look at my feetus. So now they
got to run away from that word abortion. Anyway, that
the point of the gentleman who I enjoyed speaking with
was said, no, Colorado GOP to win has to become
pro choice. And as I pointed out to him, and
I think this is undeniable fact. If you want the
Colorado GOP to go away, if you want it to
(23:00):
become a true minority party getting about ten to fifteen
percent of the vogue, then become pro choice, because the
day you do that the Colorado GOP, the National GOP,
if it pursued that doctor Kovorkian strategy would go away,
it would no longer be a meaningful force in politics.
(23:20):
And I don't know how anybody could argue that to
the contrary, because the thing about pro life people is
that it rises above any of these other political issues,
because it is that the civil rights issue of our lifetime.
None of these other rights matter if they kill you.
(23:41):
And that's what it is. This isn't philosophy or religion
or anything else. It's cold hard medical fact. That's the
taking of a separate, innocent human life. And so for
pro lifers, there's nothing in it for us, right, there's
nothing in it for us, at least not on this earth.
And so the whole point is every pro lifer has
(24:03):
decided they're going to use their vote to save innocent
human life. Why in the world, How in the world
could any pro lifer support a candidate from a party
who is going to use the power we give them
with our vote to go out and expand maintain support
the mass killing of innocent life. No, it's a lunacy.
(24:24):
So people who call and say that, I just stren't
thinking it through. Can the GOP win pro life? You
bet it can. We've seen it happen all over the country.
And the best chance the GOP has to win in
Colorado is as a strongly pro life party. And then
how do you define that? You define that way beyond
(24:48):
the natural essential starting point of protecting innocent life before births,
but you extend it way beyond that, and then you
expose the Democrats for being the true ghastly, ghastly extremists
they are, because if you pin down Michael Bennett, or
take your pick any of these Democrats, you pin them
(25:09):
down that they are committed to a truly ghastly position
that the vast majority of Coloradens would reject, which is
the legal killing of children just before births. Virtually all
Coloradens see that as in fantaside. But these Democrat candidates,
who pretend to be moderates, are committed to that position,
(25:32):
and then beyond that their anti life in so many
other ways that continue beyond the birth stage. So appreciate
the call. Appreciate the call from that gentleman, and it's
a good chance to discuss this and again Exhibit A.
And we're fortunate to have it because clearly no GOP
Senate candidate was going to win in the twenty two cycle.
But Joe O'Day was just a great example for the ages,
(25:53):
a wonderful guy, a tremendous GOP candidate for Senate in
every way except to support for legal abortion. And he
got pounded. John Kellner, my law partner, managing partner of
our firm, got more votes in the AGS or aage's
race than Joe Day got in the center race.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, it did not help Joe O Day. It hurt
Joe Day because you know what, somebody who's fully committed,
that's their number one issue is the legal legalized killing
before births of children. They're not going to vote for
republic and ever. All you're going to do is leak
GOP support. Let's go to Jeff Coe. Welcome Tony to
(26:35):
the dan Caplis show. Welcome. Besides, what's the point of winning.
It doesn't make any sense to win unless you're going
to do the right thing with it. If somebody said today, okay, GOP,
you could win if you supported legal abortion, I still
wouldn't support it because that would be losing. The only
reason to want to win is to do the right thing. Hey, Tony,
(26:58):
what are you thinking?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Well, be honest, Bruce got me completely.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Discombobulated, because, in my opinion, you're a lot more generous
than me.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
But he's do complete evil.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I think that abortion is the the handwork of the devil.
It's the most god awful thing I can even imagine.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
It gives me the shivers.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
And then for Bruce to say we need to give
women the choice, well, listen, I had a niece give
birth just recently. Let's say I went over to her
house the day after she gave birth. Why can't I
take that life?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Why does she.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Have that rules?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
It's disgusting, It infuriates me.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
It's as you can see, it's just it.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Makes me cry Tony appreciate the call. I would not
refer to Bruce as evil at all, because because the
reality is, and it's one of the reasons life is
going to prevail in the end, and it's arcting toward
life lots of places in America is so many of
the people who currently support legalized abortion are well intentioned people.
(28:17):
They're not evil people. They're good people who are just
thinking about it superficially. They're well intentioned but they're persuadable.
And the good thing is we've got the truth, We've
got the medical truth, we've got the truth on every level.
And so these are persuadable people who I do not
view as evil at all. Now you have some hard
course who are absolutely committed to sometimes it's our financial gains,
(28:41):
sometimes political gain. The least forgivable in the moral sense
of all of them are the elected officials who know
their support for abortion is absolutely dead wrong, literally, but
they do it for their own political power. So you've
got your hardcorese who know they're acting evilly they must
and are committed to acting in an evil way. But
you've got so many people supporting legal abortion. No that
(29:04):
they're well intentioned, that that they're persuadable. And our job, okay,
it's on us. It's a privilege to have. This job
is go out and persuade them and save a lot
of lives. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Kind of fall we're used to in Colorado. But boy,
we really needed that water, didn't we. Holy cow and
grateful to have it. But love the sunshine three all
three seven one three eight two five five takes d
an five seven seven three nine. We'll talk about this
a little more in the five o'clock hour, but there
are so many ways that legalization of marijuana and Colorado
(29:46):
has undermined this state, starting with the youth. We talk
about it a lot, but I do want to make
sure you're aware of this latest example, and it's one
I've mentioned before, but there's a fresh twist on it.
You know, this monster mass murderer, Robert Deere who shot
up the Planned Parenthood clinic and killed a bunch of people. Well,
a lot of people forget and a lot of media
(30:07):
don't want to report that he came to Colorado for
legal marijuana, and now he's two nuts to fry, he's
two nuts to try, and federal court just apparently very
appropriately found that he was not competent and not competent
to stand trial and probably never would be. So, you know,
obviously legalization of marijuana was going to attract a lot
(30:30):
of people to this state that this state should not
be trying to attract in terms of, you know, people
who are building a lifestyle around drugs, etc. And I'm
not at all judging or condemning It's not a moral
thing to me. If some adult wants to, you know,
do marijuana in the privacy of their own home, that
doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is when
(30:52):
a state sets up a distribution system that it knows
is going to undermine the youth of the state and
is going to cause a lot of carnage. That really
bothers me because the dope ain't worth it, not to
society as a whole. Three all three seven one three
eight two five five the number techs d an five
seven seven three nine. So lot's going on in the world,
(31:16):
young Ryan. What jumps up to you? Everybody knows Ryan
does a great show in the Denver market two to
four each day on six point thirty kh aw. What
rises to the top today, my friend, is the shiny object,
the most important interesting thing out there.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
It's got to be the Kimmel return to the airwaves.
He got record numbers of views, downloads, probably his best
ratings you'll ever get. And how the biggest descent in
those ratings and tonight's program because I don't think he
moved the needle, Dan.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
He kind of fed the.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Usual suspects the people in his own choir.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
He was preaching to them.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
He didn't really apologize, he didn't retract what he said.
He tried to soft peddle it and didn't walk it
back at all. And I don't think that that brought
anybody into the conversation. I had mentioned earlier on my
program a theory and maybe it's too soon.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Some of the Texters said the conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
No, but that Jimmy Kimmel might have done a lot
of good by having Erica kirk as his first guest
on his program last night.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
No good, good, creative sinking. And I assume he did not. No,
do you think she would have gone?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
I think maybe she would have it.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
I think she would have. But I think this is
valuable long term right, because hey, Trump's not perfect. I
think he's historically great, but he's not perfect. And it
was a huge mistake right to imply government action against
ABC for Kimmel's lives. And hopefully, you know, the administration
has learned from this and it won't happen again, because
(32:47):
all it did was help Kimmel. And Kimmel does some vile,
vile stuff, I mean what he started with. Yeah, it's
as bad as it gets.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
We had some new lows over the weekend with the
Maggie Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and
do everything they can to score political points from it.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
That's a premeditated, deliberate, scurrilous lie. Right. So I've got
no problem if ABC says, you know what, we really
don't want liars on our air. If you're talking about
political viewpoint, you know, I'm a lot more uneasy. I'm
very uneasy, you know, with people getting dumped over political viewpoint.
You're ABC, You're doing a comedy show. If it's not funny,
(33:30):
if people aren't watching, get rid of them, regardless of
political viewpoint. But firing somebody over political viewpoint, I'm very
very uneasy about that. I don't think we should be
in the business of doing that. But firing somebody for lying,
you bet, no matter which direction they're lie cuts anybody
who owns a network, any local affiliate, if they say,
(33:51):
wait a second, we don't want liars on air. That's
a lot different than political viewpoint. And with Jimmy Kimmel,
you just have a flat out liar and so I
would have no gripe with AVC and or individual affiliates saying, Nook,
get it off our air. I just don't want the
government involved in that. Listen, if it's actionable in the
form of defamation, then you got a different critter. But
(34:13):
now that that should that should not be. That should
not be the role of government in that situation. And
I think that Trump administration, you can see that all
they did was help Kimmel here, and hopefully we won't
see any of that again because obviously the president is
doing historically great stuff on a lot of fronts. So
(34:34):
but he's only human. We're all going to have some
unforced errors, and that was one of his. Did you
watch the whole show?
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Ryan? No?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
No, Yeah, for you, Dan, because that's how much I
care about you.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Which I truly appreciate the audience.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I went through the whole monologue and chopped it up
into the clips that you find in your sheet right there.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
You are a very very good man. Thank you, you're well,
thank you. But yeah, so hopefully now Kimmel, it will
just you know, you'll take effect and of its own weight.
It will just the audience will keep going down and
down and down and that'll take care of itself. So
hopefully lesson learned for the right, but in particular because again,
(35:15):
you know, America doesn't want to be censored. And so
you've had so much well deserved support for President Trump
in sixteen, you know, and again in this cycle because
he's a straight talker. He's the opposite of left. The
left is all about censorships. So knock this stuff off.
(35:35):
And I'm very confident he will. This business of trying
to force people affair, that's not his brand. Trump's brand
hard earned and it's a blast to behold, is you know,
straight talker. He's not afraid of debate. Bring it on,
I'll interview with anybody. Let's get back to that and
continue the greatness on The Dan Kapla Show.
