What a glorious Friday afternoon. Oh my goodness, three or
three seven, one, three eight, two five five the number

(00:21):
techs DN five seven seven three nine. Be careful what
you wish for Democrats. As President Trump said, Okay, you
want to make it all about Epstein, We're going to
investigate now. The ag is going to investigate all these
top Democrats and their ties to Epstein. And again we
know that Trump doesn't have any nefarious ties to Epstein,
because if he did, we'd already know about it because

(00:42):
the Democrats have had control of those files for a long,
long time. So much more to talk about this afternoon.
A lot of fun stuff on the agenda.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Ryan.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I drove up to Glenwood Springs for court today, one
of the most beautiful places on Earth, and then back
obviously for this show. And what a glorious day up
in the mountains as it is on the Front Range,
et cetera. And it goes back to the topic we
had the other day. Okay, would you go the whole
winter without snow? As long as they add in the mountains,
everybody could ski. Would you go the whole winter without

(01:13):
snow on the Front Range? Because it's starting to feel
like we might so well, we will not reprise that
topic today unless people want to, since I work for you.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
It's definitely not beginning to look a lot like Christmas
out there.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
And I know that Vale's opening a couple of runs
this weekend. There are some runs opening here and there,
but could use a whole bunch of snow in the mountains.
But I do have to tell you one of the
most impressive people I've ever met in my life, father
Mike Schmidts.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
If you're not familiar with him.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
He is a rock star Catholic priest who has enormous
followings on social media and elsewhere because he's just an
absolute genius and a great guy, and he really lives
the faith well, and he does Bible in a year
and Catechism in a year, and lots and lots of
lots on Catholics listened to Bible in the year, certainly,
and some to Catechism in the year, but millions and

(02:05):
millions in fact, they're about to do their one billionth
is that a word? Billions download of his podcasts, and
so he's a remarkable, remarkable source. And I don't care
if a person's an atheists, they're going to be drawn
to him and intrigued by his work. But yeah, Bible
in a year is phenomenal. And yeah, so he had

(02:26):
a chance to spend a minute with him last night
and just blown away. Just a guy's a genius and
electric and very cool stuff. I'm going to be at
a fundraiser he's speaking at tonight for Seeds of Hope,
which really does the work of angels, and it sends
low income kids to school, It pays their tuition to
go to Catholic schools, and sends lots and lots and

(02:48):
lots of low income kids every year to Catholic schools
on these scholarships. So think of all the lives changed
there and how much society's better off for it. Three
or three someone three eight two five five text d
A and five seven seven three nine. So if you're
looking for a great use of your dollars and to
the text your seeds of hope. Boy, they make a

(03:10):
big difference. How about you, my friend, how's.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Your day going well?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Had a fast moving program with Deborah Flora and Christian
total right side of Hollywood, talking about myriad topics there,
and really it all came back to these cringe worthy
quotes from the former First Lady, Michelle Obama and Dan
there are three of them having to do with her hair.
She's like obsessed with her hair.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Let me let me get to that.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
And because as you know, over the years I have said,
I have recognized her many many, many talents and her
great appeal to so many people out there, which I
know a lot of folks don't want to hear about.
But you have to be clear eyed about your political
opponents if you're going to be able to, you know,
accomplish the things that you want to accomplish through politics.

(03:57):
And she is by far the best candidate that they
could feel, the strongest candidate that they could field. Who
else on the Democrat side fills arenas that people have
to pay lots of money for. Now this latest publicity,
Blinge Binge will that that's a good word ry. I'm
going to claim trademark on it right now?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Blinge?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Have you ever heard that word? No and copyright blinge?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Blinge?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
So that's going to go right up with smorn, another
word it's similar, Yeah, because on this show I coined
and claimed smorn, which is smart people saying moronic things.
So blinge, I just don't know the meaning of bline.
I just accidentally said it. What does blinge mean? Can
anybody suggest a meaning for blinge?

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Blinking binge? Blinge?

Speaker 1 (04:42):
So there's like linge, a lot more pizazz to it. Yeah, linge,
somebody give me a meaning please. It's a great word.
I just created it. I just don't know what it means. Definition,
which is really creative. It really that speaks well of me.
Three or three seven, one, three eight, two five five
the number. We just have to figure out the meaning

(05:04):
of blinge. He's going on a blinge, a binge with
bling bling There is a binge with bling. Yeah, like
that's kind of bling binge? Correct a bling rat bitch
nice binge.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
It's hard to say that really quickly.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, I can't sat it all. But it's a heck
of a word. Heck of a word, Danny, speaking of
which I see I'm doing the show in Denver today
and Ry, I see text to Ryan his great show
two to four Monday through Friday. I see a text
up Ryan. What's going on with the search for Michael
Brown's replacement on k How in the Morning. Keep it
in mind, nobody can truly replace Michael Brown.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
What is going on?

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Well, they're running out some candidates. I am one of them.
Next week Tuesday Wednesday, I got John Caldera did last Monday.
He'll do Monday again. Deborah Flora was in Tuesday Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Leland Conway who was on the show today.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
He just did Thursday Friday today, and then Jimmy sanging
Burger will do Thursday Friday next week.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
So that's a lot of talent.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Man, Yeah, when's my day?

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Are you going to do both shows? Dan?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I may do them all.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Hey, listen, man, We've all got our strengths and weaknesses.
But I could do the whole day. Nobody would want
me to, but I could do it. Three or three
he said, one, three, eight, two five five text D
eight and five seven seven three nine. Boy, do we
have some sound for you? Ryan was just talking about
this Michelle Obama son. Honestly, The most intriguing thing to

(06:35):
me is why is she out there saying these things?
Because she has been in this power position where she
would be the DEM nominee if she wants it, and
she would have a real shot to win the American presidency.
I don't believe she was going to beat Donald Trump,
but she was going to be the strongest candidate the
Dems could have fielded. So why is why is she

(06:58):
doing all these podcasts seen things like this? And let
me explain something to white people.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a
curly pattern. So when we're straightening it to follow your
beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. That's why
so many of us can't swim and we run away
from the water. People won't go to the gym because
we're trying to keep our hair straight.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
For y'all.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
It is exhausting and it's so expensive, and it takes
up so much time.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Braids are for y'all.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
So we can work harder and focus on the work.
So why do we need an act, an act of
law to tell white folks to get out our hair.
Don't don't tell me how to wear my hair.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Don't wonder about it.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Don't touch it, just don't.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
I'm just trying to understand this because I sat here
in this very chair, in this very studio the day
after Barack Obama was elected in twenty twelve, and I'd
spent that entire campaign on air with my compadre Craig Silverman,
and I'd been telling people it's going to be a
disaster for this country of Barack Obama wins for ideological reasons.

(08:24):
But I sat here in this chair the day after
he won, and I said, Hey, there's a big silver
lining here, a big opportunity for a dramatic move forward
in race relations. America, a country that wants enslave black people,
has now elected a black person president. So even though
it's a person who on political merit, ideology, etc. Should

(08:47):
not be our president, the silver lining is that this
opportunity for a huge step forward in race relations, and
then what do we get a short time later from
the Obama administration, Eric Holder, We're a nation of racial cowards,
and then we get this division card being played. So
this opportunity for another and there have been many another

(09:09):
big step forward in race relations in the country seemed
to be intentionally blown up by many in the Obama administrations.
So I don't get this. Maybe there's something going on, Ryan,
I've been preparing for court. Maybe there's something going on
out there I don't know about. But what what is
she talking about? Who is out there saying you've got

(09:31):
to wear your hair straight? Who's out there criticizing hair
that's curly. I've never heard anything like that.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
No, I'm sure invention in fantasy.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
And I mean, we're I just I'm trying to understand
where this is coming from. Please help me out. Three
or three someone three eight two five five text da
N five seven seven three nine because because the reality is,
we're in a situation where if Michelle Obama wanted to
be the nominee of the Democratic Party, she would easily
be it, and many, many, many white people would vote

(10:04):
for if she ran for president, many many, many white
people in America would vote for. It seems to me
there's so much racial progress being made. Why her obsession
with this? I'd love your thoughts will start on the
lines when we get back as well. We'll start with
Doug and Rory.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
You're on the Dankapla Show. And now back to the
Dan tapla show podcast got.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
A promp coalition.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
Just as I've said a million times, the Reagan Coalition
was the Reagan coalition.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
The Obama Coalition was the Obama coalition.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
The Trump coalition ends when Donald Trump's off the scene,
and we see it with the Republicans losing in twenty seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, now twenty five. When
Donald Trump's not on the ballot, that coalition stays home.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
He's missing something big. He's talking about off your election.
We're talking here about the next presidential election. And the
pick of jd. Vance was to address the concern that
that Scarborough just brought up, and it's a legitimate concern.
It's a fair question. Maybe he's proven right in the end,
but I think Trump was very wise to pick Fance

(11:18):
because he believed Fance would be in the best position
to continue MEGA and to have that connection, and we'll
find out together whether it works. I think Fans is
doing great, Ruby is doing great. Et set or the
bench is deep but legitimate concern, but I think there
is at least a decent chance that the coalition stays together.

(11:38):
Maybe not because Trump is a once in a lifetime,
once in a nation's lifetime kind of president and personality
with a unique appeal.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Let's go to Doug and Aurora.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
We're trying to find out how to define this great
new word I created, which is blinge b l I
n g E blinge.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Doug, what is this word going to mean?

Speaker 7 (11:58):
Well? I think I had another definition, but when you
were talking about Michelle Obama, everything just kind of fell in.
Blinge is the difference between it's a cross between bling,
fringe and cringe. You got the fringe that's way out there.

(12:19):
You got the cringe just like whoa, and then you
got the bling, which you know, they all have to
look pretty, so it's it's so far looking pretty that
it's just like you're not even pretty anymore.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Doug. I appreciate the call, and I would not say
that about Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama's a beautiful woman. I'm
just more intrigued with well, with her strategic decisions here
to be getting into these odd issues.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
There's definitely, to Doug's point, cringe and a law.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
What she said that is an underused word. Yeah, we
need to use that word. Mork I heard all the
time at home because every other word from my wife
and my daughter crimhich reference to me is cringe. I'm
shocked by this. Yeah, but the.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Cringe part with the bling because you know, Michelle likes
to look good. She's wearing nice accessories, ear rings, necklaces
and stuff. So when you combine the two and she
gives a cringe speech while wearing the bling, blinge. Wow,
Michelle Obama was so blinge in that speech she gave
that you played the.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Highlight from Interesting.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I do think the word it's such a good word,
never heard before. I think it has you sound like
charter application heard before. It's one of the kind word
you know, it's I speak the truth here. But let
me do this. Let me look it up real quick
to make sure. Maybe it's been out there and I
just haven't her.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
It might be on Urban Dictionary, which you got to
be careful with that because that's got a lot of.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Words on there you don't necessarily want to know, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Wait a second, Wait a second, ways that great. Maybe
I'm looking it up on there late to the game. Here,
it says blinge can refer to an online platform for
creating animated gifts give me a break. That's yeah, it's
not common use. That's online platform for creating animated gifts.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Now, that's that doesn't even have anything. That doesn't this
one Dan Urban Dictionary. Turn there, blinch says an over
abundance of bling.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh okay, sorry, I take it back.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think that that one's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Scratch. Yeah, I don't even care now that it's not
an original word.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Well no, no, no, there's like people, it's like your
show right now. You're taking nominations for the definition. When
you look a word up like this on Urban Dictionary,
there's a whole bunch of different definitions that are given,
and then people vote up or down on it.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Okay, okay, well okay, false alarm. I thought I had
invented a word, but I still have on.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
There is hey, there is no agreed upon definition of blinch.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Here is what I'm trying to tell you. Matter.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
If the I thank you for trying to comfort me.
But if the word has been used before, well hold on,
and it's not oh Dan, no no, Dan, no, no no.
Unless somebody put this up here. They did after I
came up with it.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
This says s'mron, a cross between a smart alec and
a moron.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
No, I'm right on Urban Dictionary. I'm looking at it
right now.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
And what's it dated? Because that must have.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Come two thousand and nine.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
All right, I don't know, Dan, you are just a
buzzkilled today. I'm changing topics right now. There here is
what President Trump.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Had to say now today, this is today.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein hoax involving
Democrats not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous
shutdown and.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
All of their other failures.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I will be asking Attorney General Pam Bondy in the
Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI,
to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Oh,
Larry Summers, reed Hoffman, big Democrat donor J. P. Morgan Company,
not the individual. I assume Chase and many other people

(16:03):
and institutions to determine what was going on with them
and him. This is another Russia Russia Russia scam with
all arrows pointing to the Democrats. Records showed that these
men and many others spent large portions of their life
with Epstein and on his quote Island Stay tuned, and
then the President separately said, Hey, Epstein was a Democrat

(16:25):
and he's the Democrats problem. So yeah, yeah, I all
love the president's aggressiveness.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
The other day, you and I were talking about this, Dan, like,
why are the Democrats doing this? Don't they know this
will be a self own this will be a boomerang effect.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
There is much more speculation.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Evidence smoke where there may be fire, that Bill Clinton
had a whole heck of a lot to do with
Jeffrey Epstein, the Island, the Lolita Express, the trips there,
the massages, anything else that went on that Donald Trump
ever did. So they're willing to throw Bill Clinton, one
of their all time iconic presidents, under the bus, with
this fairytale hope of trying to get something that sticks
to Trump.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
It doesn't make.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Sense excepting this. This way, they had to change the channel.
This shutdown failure was an utter disaster for them, and
it was killing him. It was killing him internally and externally.
They had to change the channel. So they were desperate
enough to go out and try to play this card
that they know isn't going anywhere. I mean, and again,

(17:25):
they so underestimate the intelligence of the American people, even
people who hate Trump, know that if he did anything
bad with Epstein, that we would have known about it
years ago. People just know that. So yeah, this is
all to change the channel. And that's why I love
the President's aggressiveness, just turning it around and saying, okay,
you want to play that game. All right, we're finding

(17:46):
out what these relationships were, and I would expand it.
I would expand it. I would say, if there's anybody
in public life, anybody affecting public life, who there is
probable cause to believe was involved in or supporting the
nefarious activities of Epstein, investigate them all. I don't care

(18:07):
what party they're from, and investigate them all.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Same here.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
What I'm concerned about is, obviously everybody is, you would hope,
protecting the victims who don't want their names or stories
out there. Some do, some don't, but also the innocent
people who had business dealings whatever with Epstein, but there's
no evidence that they did anything wrong. I don't want
to see those people's lives ruined, their children's lives ruined.
But anybody, anybody who was doing bad stuff with Epstein,

(18:35):
anybody who was spending time.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
At that Island.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Anybody who was supporting the bad works of Epstein, Democrat, Republican, unaffiliated,
investigate them all.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Let's get it all on the table. You're on the
Dan Kaplas Show.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast. Michael
Jackson's music, I bet I.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Love the music.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
You were there.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I love the music. In fact, we had to kind
of face this question when we're in Vegas and where
we going to go to the Michael Jackson show that
they do there and it includes a hologram of Michael Jackson,
et cetera. And you know, we decided to go. I
heard it was a great show, and we went and
enjoyed it. And I didn't feel like I was contributing

(19:23):
to anything bad or anything, but we did have to
stop and think about it. Okay, this is a guy
credibly accused of pedophilia's or something wrong in going to
the show. It was a good show.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, music was good.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
He does have his defenders too, and they're very well placed,
individuals like Corey Feldman, who was sexually abused in Hollywood
and his adamant that Michael Jackson did not do that.
And mcaulay Culkin, who spent a lot of time with
Michael Jackson said nothing inappropriate ever happened between the two
of them.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
So, I mean it.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Spent a long time, and I didn't cover those cases
as a legal reporter. Didn't he get convicted somewhere along
the way, Michael Jackson.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
I there was a settle member.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh okay, there was never a parental conviction.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
I don't think so. Okay, I could be wrong on that,
but I think I'm right.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
I'll go back continue to look at this.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
But I surprised you didn't cover that, DWN because that
was at a time where you're covering like Rodney King O. J.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Simpson was in that early mid nineties.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
But I also had a law practice, and so I
might have been tied up in some cases it. Yeah,
but man, I'm so glad I got to cover both
of those other ones, Tyson and oh OJ and.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Rodney King and all that kind of cases.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah. Man, I remember Robert Kardashian, you know, and being
around him a ton during that before I mean that
his daughters had.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
To be like what five little girls? Six seven?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, and Robert Kardashian wasn't really known other than a
friend of OJ's, but he was an exceptionally nice guy.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
That's good to hear.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Exceptionally nice guy. Just uh heah, spent a lot of
time in that courthouse with this.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
From your perspective as a lawyer, that dream team put
together was Sapiro and Shaq and Kardashian and.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
What was the Lee No, no, you got to remember
the man because the rest of Jonny cor right, the
rest of them were Michael Jordan, Johnny Cochran was Michael Jordan?

Speaker 2 (21:13):
What really?

Speaker 1 (21:14):
And there wasn't a Scottie Pippen. I mean, oh, Thirst
did some good work for him. Barry Shack with the DNA,
he did some good work. Robert Kardashian, I'm sure was
a steadying influence for O. J.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Simpson, but he wasn't a big.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Legal contributor in Shapiro I would view as a negative. Really,
Oh yeah, And when this thing, that whole thing came down,
right and Robert Shapiro's brought in to b OJ's lawyer,
I'm on air saying this is a huge mistake. Shapiro's
a deal maker. This is a trial case. Go get
Johnny Cochran, And everybody's saying, who's Johnny Cochran nobody knew

(21:48):
who Johnny kye. I mean around here, And I said,
because I had known Johnny Cochran from covering the Rodney
kin case. And you know, there are some people you met,
like Father Mike Schmiz last night. When I met him,
you know, instantly different. There's a spark that they you know,
these are forces of nature. And I remember meeting Johnny
as if it was ten seconds ago, just like meeting

(22:10):
Father Mike last night. Johnny Cochran was a force of nature.
And so I'm on air saying O J. Simpson meets
Johnny Cochran, and everybody else is saying, Dan, I thought
you didn't drink. And then all of a sudden, the
headlines O J. Simpson hires Johnny Cochran.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
I O J.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Simpson does not walk without Johnny Cockran.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I think you're right.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, And what really stood out to me, And of
course back then it was such a different world, Dan,
people were glued to Court TV and that really kind
of sparked in a lot of ways the twenty four
to seven news cycle. But the mismatch that you watch
when Johnny Cochrane was doing his thing versus Chris Darden
and Marsha Clark was very evident. I would have to
think from your perspective to goodness.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I mean I would ride the elevator with Darden and Clark,
and sometimes they were alone, sometimes they were together, just duds,
really duds. And and then obviously in court, not a
lot of great stuff going on there. But I do
think Darden for the uh, yeah, why don't you try
that on? I just go ahead and try that club.

(23:16):
I mean, what, We're all human. We all make mistakes, right,
I've been trying cases for forty years. We all make
our share of mistakes. But that one you can't even
begin to wrap your mind around. It's like the Bill
Buckner play right, Yeah, But for Buckner it was bang bang, spontaneous.
Darden had time to think about yeah, and listen, if

(23:36):
you're gonna make mistakes and trial, every human makes mistakes
in everything they do. Then the key is you got
to do enough good stuff and great stuff to outweigh that,
and uh, the great ones all do that. Darden didn't
you know he had that enormous mistake. None of us
have to be scientists to know that that club is

(23:59):
not going to fit the same during that as it
would have had another time, as it would have at
the time of the crime, but ego, I just got
caught up in the ego. But yeah, no, Johnny really
really special. In fact, after he passed. Was it after
he passed or before, I can't remember, But I was

(24:19):
very honored that they had asked me to open Johnny
Cochrane Law in Colorado, and I, you know, I'm politely
declined because I had my own practice, but he was
he was a great one. No matter what you think
of OJ and all that, everybody's entitled to a defense,
and Johnny was a great one. Three all three seven, one,
three eight, two five five text D eight N five seven, seven,

(24:42):
three nine. Lots going on this afternoon, none of it
particularly important, but I think a lot of it interesting.
This Epsteine stuff, I guess, is really important because you've
got this guy, one of the worst criminals of our lifetime.
This serial a file, and without question, there were famous

(25:03):
people who were partaking of this and supporting. I mean,
I can't sit here and say, oh, the famous people
you know or were raping these children, but they were
certainly going Epstein's Island, and they were certainly helping and
supporting Epstein with all of this debauchery, and so I
do think it's really important for America to be able

(25:26):
to identify all the people in public life who were
doing something wrong. So you tell me, how do you
go about it in such a way that you can
do that and not sweep into it. People who knew
Epstein will show up in the files because they were
involved in business, et cetera. But we're not doing anything wrong.

(25:50):
How do you do that because those people would be ruined.
Those people would be ruined. Let's go to a beautiful Carbondale, Colorado,
always up in Would Springs. Drove up there this morning
for court and it was incredibly beautiful today. As Richard,
I guess can tell us he's calling from Carbondale.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
How you doing, my friend, Dan.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
It's Richard, the beyond the obvious guy.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
You know. I'll tell you Richard had suggested that name
for our show, and it was such a great compliment
because that's what we strive to do. Well, thanks for calling,
my friend, What are you thinking? Well?

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Real quick, I congrats on the glen. Would think if
I had known you were there, I would have gone
and hung out and introduced myself to Yeah, yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wish I wish.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
To weird mac anyway. You know what was it? You
just said, the blend.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Blendinge bl m G.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
We knew what a new punctuation mark, and it would
be this. It would be a preposterousk and it could
be mostly that probably news people, you know, they said
Joe Biden had his faculties all along, and then you
would have a mind. I haven't created what it would
look like, but that would be a PREPOSTERISKA.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Well, thank you, Richard, appreciate that. And I'm just telling
you now, that's just one of the hidden gems in Colorado.
I had no idea that you have this whole roaring
for I mean, I knew it existed.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
And all that, but I had no idea.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
It's so incredibly beautiful, such great communities up there, including
Carbondale three out three SEVENE three eight two five five
text d A N five seven seven three. Now, and
of course you know we all hear about Aspen and
this and that, but boy, some of those surrounding communities
are amazing. So I want to come back to this
Epstein thing. We have some more sound on that today.

(27:42):
I want to get your take also on on Michelle Obama.
Why she is off on this particular tangent now when
she's in such a power position. Otherwise, why is she
doing this? Why this whole podcast thing with this obsession
with hair and this claim that people are trying to

(28:03):
force African Americans to straighten out their hair. Yeah, I'm
just trying to figure it out. Because she starts in
such a power position, why would she venture into all
of that? What do you think the endgame is here?
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
On went three eight two five five the number text
d an five seven seven three nine boy. Interesting. The
Dems deciding to play the Epstein card, which is obviously
sheer desperation since clearly Trump wasn't involved in anything nefarious
with Epstein or we have known about it long ago
this reporting Jeffrey Epstein held a dinner party with guests

(28:53):
Katie Couric, George Stephanoppolis, Chelsea Handler, Charlie Rose, and Woody Allen.
In honor of print, Andrew Kirk said quote, I didn't
know anything about him at the time. Now I've watched
the video where Kirk describes this dinner party and quite
a second that the dinner party was eighteen months after

(29:16):
Epstein had been released from prison. So why do all
those people show up at a dinner party with Jeffrey
Epstein eighteen months after he's been released from prison?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
I mean, truly, why do you think that happened? Ryan?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
What? I don't know?

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, it's peculiar.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, yeah yeah wild three or three seven one three
eight two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. I think the Dems will really come
to regret this, especially since the starting point is knowing
that no, that Trump did not do anything nefarious when

(29:58):
it comes to Epstein. And it's fascinating and great to
see how they're all being so very careful in their
news reporting to qualify it with there's no evidence that
Donald Trump was aware of any Epstein's crimes, etc. Since
Trump has had the guts to go out and to
sue them, to pursue them, this.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Is something too.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
And I know I cut this for you as well
with Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Representative Texas along with Casey hunt Anski.
You had four years under Biden. Why didn't you pursue
it then? And the thing that keeps coming back to me. Dan,
We're old enough to remember the whole Jack Smith stuff
at mar A Lago.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
The FBI raid. You have Merrit Garland, you have.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Letitia James, you have Fannie Willis, you have Alvin brad
If they had the goods on him on Epstein, would
they had to have gone the court and do the
circuitous prosecution get thirty four felt the convictions on the
campaign finance shell gamers.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
No, they would have want it right to the Epstein
stuff right and take it even a step further. If
they thought they could have come up with a credible
lie or a lie they could sell. No such thing
as a credit fly, but a lie they could sell,
linking Trump Tepstein, they would have done that. They would
have done the lie if they thought they could pull
it off. Yeah, and Americans know that. That's why this

(31:14):
thing is such an utter obvious dead end for Democrats.
But they're desperate enough to play this card now because
they got to turn the channel from their shutdown crash.
I mean, that's an utter disaster for them. Here is
Representative Crockett.

Speaker 8 (31:30):
We saw at the top of the show a number
of at the time Donald Trump surrogates and supporters, including
his son and his vice presidential nominee, say that the
Epstein files should be released.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Obviously, there was.

Speaker 8 (31:43):
A Democrat who was president at the time, Joe Biden.
Why were Democrats not louder at that time about this release?

Speaker 9 (31:50):
So a couple of things. Number One, you had Penning litigation.
So we're not the ones that went out making some
campaign promises. In fact, the vast majority of Democrats had
been campaigning on things such as affordability. I know that
Kamala Harris had an actual plan so that people wouldn't
necessarily be sucking in mortgage for fifty years, but instead
she wanted to make sure that they have twenty five

(32:11):
thousand dollars down payment so that they can move into
homes and make life overall more affordable. So we were
focused on the bread and butter issues. This was a
campaign issue of his.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, yeah, so pending litigation. What Penning litigation. No, they
had no interest in the Epstein stuff being released at
that time because it's going to be overall bad for Democrats.
And Trump played that card today initiating investigations of Epstein's
ties to a major Democrat donor. Reed Hoffman. We don't

(32:42):
know if those ties exist or not, but Trump initiated
the investigation and as well as Bill Clinton and other
prominent Democrats. So we'll see where that goes. Let's go
to Oh, it's our friend Richard from Carbondale, back on
the Dan Caplis show. How you doing, Richard?

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Sorry, I just wanted your opinion on.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
A bumper stick Yes, wonderful.

Speaker 5 (33:05):
Here's what it will say. It will say, denial and
fantasy have served me. Well, what do you think?

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Hmm? Denial and fantasy. It might be a little long
for a bumper sticker, but but you must you must
have a big car.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
Well, I was thinking I could see anybody driving up
and stop like and reading that say denial and fantasy
have served me. Will anybody have to agree to that?
Do you think?

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Well, hey, Richard, are you worried about unwanted attention.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
At that point?

Speaker 5 (33:36):
No?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Not at all, Okay, because I'm.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
A little worried about what you don't think?

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Well, my concern is for you. You got a bumper
sticker like that, you might get creeps, You might attract creeps. Wow, yeah,
think about it, my friend. I want you safe out there.
Brian how many people even have bumper stickers anymore. It's
like they went away all at.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Once, right, there's different materials now. Sometimes people put magnets
or decals up in there, so they don't you know,
they get sticker on there and it's hard to get
them off ever, you know.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yet all it just kind of stopped at some point.
And what do you think I'd love to hear from people.
Why do you think people stopped putting on bumper stickers?
When did all that go away? I'm trying to remember
when I put my last bumper sticker on. For years
and years and years, I had what's eh, I'll tell
you mine, what was yours?

Speaker 3 (34:33):
I had a Trump Pence bumper sticker in twenty sixteen,
and guess what, somebody scraped it off in a parking lot.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, that's what they did.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah, that's what the left does.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
I remember my last one, The last one I can
remember is there was a young lady, Beth's Miller, who
was abducted from Ido Springs. So there were bumper stickers
that had her picture in a you know, fine bet Miller.
I think that was my last bumper sticker. Yeah, why
do you think bumper stickers just went away. Maybe some
people still a month. I remember I desperately want to
talk to the driver this one car because she had

(35:06):
this bumper stick around there live simply so others may
simply live. And then some symbols, and then she had
a bumper sticker. I vote pro choice. I've got to
find out how you think. You're on the Dan Kapitol
