Speaker 2 (00:15):
Wow, where were you a year ago today? Well, it'd
be more precise the first Monday in November. Any nervousness
at all, any concern or were You're just absolutely certain
that what we've been telling you for a year and
a half was one hundred percent nailed down, and that
was obviously the second term of Donald Trump. Hard of
believe Ryan, that it's been a year. I know what
(00:37):
I think, because it's been so action packed.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Very much so.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I remember being at the inauguration too, and the greatest
days of my career and be able to experience all
of that firsthand.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
As cold as it was in Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
The energy was warm, both in the building and outside.
And on this day, Dan, you mentioned the Monday before
election day a year ago, I felt reasonably confident. But
then again, you know, I want to get my hopes
up because we all know what happened in twenty twenty.
But I had a really good feeling going into Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh yeah, And obviously we've been talking on air for
literally a year and a half that way a second, first,
Joe Biden wasn't going to be their nominee, and then
whoever was going to be their nominee would get trounced,
And so I don't think we had any doubt on
the show. There's always that concern. I think there's a
difference between doubt and concern because you just know, for
all the analytical reasons we've been discussing on air, Trump
(01:29):
was going to win. But the concern is because of
the magnitude of the harm if he lost, and so
there's always that concern. But boy, what a great day
and evening that's set up now. We were not going
to do the formal, I think anniversary show until Wednesday
when the dates line up, because it isn't truly one
(01:49):
year until then. But we'll have a great show, lots
of tremendous sound and enjoy it thoroughly. We will have
some teases today. We're going to have the sound today
of remembered the left to mean holy cow. It was
like a collective national what's the polight word for a
Family show euphoria on the left when the Seltzer pole
(02:10):
came out of Iowa and had Kamala Harris up in Iowa.
So we'll have that sound for you because that is
so much fun to relive. In fact, Ryan, let's just
start the show strong for once. Cut sixteen place Rachel
Reddin and.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Seltzer basically as a living bullseye, and that's why lots.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Of people living bullseye.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Had strong reactions when the des Moines Register Ann Seltzer
Iowa Pole was posted last night. This is that poll
and it is a shock result. It shows Kamala Harris
ahead of Donald Trump by three points in Iowa. And
the reason this is consequential to our psyche is that
(02:52):
if this is accurate, and if anybody is accurate, it's
likely to be an Seltzer in the Iowa pole.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
If this is accurate, this implies that Harris might be
winning Iowa three points. Granted is within the margin of
America here, but it's three points Midwest. Iowa is a
state where neither campaign has spent any time or resources
since the primaries.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
They don't have a.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Ground game there, they don't have ads up there. Trump
won Iowa by eight points last time and nine points
the time before that. Nobody thinks of it as a
swing state. A Democratic presidential candidate hasn't won Iowa since
Barack Obama in twenty twelve.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Wow, Ryan, holy count, Well, she must have won the
whole Midwest. Then, right, she had to win Wisconsin. Because
she won Iowa, she had to win Wisconsin and Michigan,
probably Pennsylvania. There it goes. So yeh, brutal defeat for
Trump a year ago. America is still reeling from that time.
I here, a swim might your tongue, but I love
the human bulls eye that maybe maybe that should be
(03:47):
your nickname. Well, because that's what Rachel Maddow called Anne
Seltzer Beck. Then the human bulls eye she does not miss.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Well, she rode off into the sunset after that horrid forecast.
She was off by sixteen points because Dan Trump won
by single digits each of the first two times around
you mentioned nine and eight. He won Iowa over Kamala
Harris by thirteen.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So why do you think Seltzer did that?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I said this earlier on my program Dan as the
Dan Caplis pregame show. I believe it was a push
pull the way that Rush Limbaugh used to define it
was designed to motivate or achieve an objective or serve
an agenda, to drive Democratic voters to the polls, to
raise their spirit, to demoralize Trump voters.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
That's exactly what I think it was.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yes, one hundred percent, very very good theory, my friend. Well,
we're gonna have some fun today. Quick note on sports.
We start almost every Monday that way when things are
going well, and obviously Broncos on track and have taken
our advice, which is a good thing to see. And
then nuggets have say this could be a year. I mean,
(04:50):
you can't sit here right now and say Broncos are
likely to win the super Bowl, but just stay healthy
and ball bounces us the right way a few times
it could happen. Abs and Nuggets of very very real
chance Rockies, well that day will come sometime. Sure. Yeah,
And to see you buffs, listen. This is this is
where you know the character of Dion Sanders, and it
(05:13):
is abundant is going to show because he didn't get
to where he is today without an awful lot of
fortitude and character and stick to witness. That's three words
or four. Anyway, he didn't and he has that and
he will find a way to bring this back. And
see CSU, it's got a lot going for it. Get
that right, head coach, and so good time to be
(05:34):
a sports fan. So we'll look forward to that. I
lost track a bit, my friend. Is it Thursday night
against the Raiders this week?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
That's correct, it's a short week.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And I had the privilege of talking to Dave Logan
this morning filling in over on Colorado's morning news on KOA.
Did you know Dave Logan just called his six hundredth
game as the voice of the Denver Broncos on the
radio network, And I asked him, Dan, how many games
over that stretch of six hundred had he ever met?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Do you know the answer? Zero? I bet Rolen. You're
going to get a Dave Logan fact here that probably
nobody knows, and I hope it's okay to share. And
I only share it because it goes to the point
you just made and it makes Dave look really good,
which which is the way you should look. Dave. There's
(06:20):
only been one Dave Logan in Colorado history, and there
only will be one Dave Logan. Dave Logan is so tough.
You know how tough Dave Logan is, How tough is
he He does not get anesthetic when he has a colonoscopy.
Oh good, that's tough day, because because he doesn't, he
(06:40):
doesn't want to be affected, doesn't want to be affected
by the anesthesia. I think where I learned that. I
think where I learned that was well, our son of
the privilege of playing for Dave. And Dave and I
have been friends for a long long time, but our
son of the privilege of playing for Dave. And if
I remember correctly, I think what happened was Dave showed
(07:03):
up at practice one day and and hey, how you
doing great? What to do today? I had a colonoscopy
and you know, he just seemed fresh as could be.
And he said little Groggy said, no, I don't do
anytht shit for that. So I think that's weird and
how I learned. But all I'm saying is yet, I
get your point. I'm not surprised he hasn't missed a
game in six hundred games. How many seasons would that be,
(07:25):
Holy cow? A lot like thirty?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, No, he's just he's just a mentally and physically
tough ombre. We have been lucky to have him in
this state three or three. He's seven to one three
eight two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. So the next time we do our
list of top ten colorad and zeh ah huh, I
think he's he's going to be in there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Gotta be right.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, And you know what for the people keeping score
at home at one of the tremendous points that Dave
make since obviously he's sent a lot of athletes to
the pros and teams and things like that. Big believer.
Kids should play multiple sports, you know, not just get
locked into one spore to increase their scholarship chances or
(08:10):
anything else. And Dave's a shining example of that. Right.
Didn't he get drafted into three separate professional leagues? I
think yes? And he's one of every NBA, NFL.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I think one of the others that I know, and
you'll know this name, Dan was Dave Winfield.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And there's one other a name that I didn't recognize,
but I remember as a little kid growing up watching
Dave Winfield and he was a tremendous athlete in his
own right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Well, yeah, and you can see where these kids playing
multiple sports would help make them better right in the
sport they have the best shot at right, I mean
mentally and physically, because you know, you can obviously overtrained, yes,
you can overtrain, and then you can undertrain other body
parts and then just the mental freshness and everything else.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
So I am so glad you brought that up real quick.
I know we got to go break here, Dan, But
whether it's John Smoltz or so many other you know,
major League baseball players, some of them are Hall of famers,
say there is an importance in being a well rounded athlete,
both in terms of your mental approach and your physical
preparation that a lot of these kids, unfortunately, you're steered
in a direction. You play club sports, you do a
year round the same sport, and I'm just not on
(09:14):
board with that. I think it's a much healthier endeavor
to have these kids try a whole bunch of different
sports and then, like you said, maybe you have one
that's a focus or your forte, but you don't just do.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
That one sport year round. You'll burn out on it.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, the body isn't made for that. The mind isn't
made for that. And Terry McMorris got rists soul love Jerry,
former owner of the Rockies. He was telling me one
day that when it comes down to a really close call,
when it came down to a really close call on
who they were going to take, you know, whether it
was a free agent to draft pick whatever, he would
pick the kid from a Midwest state or a kid
(09:49):
from a state where it snowed who wasn't playing baseball
year round and hadn't had that wear and tear in
the body. Now, that was if it was a real
close call, right, I mean, you're not gonna take a
hack out of Chicago over a star out of California.
But a close call would go to the kid from
the state where it snowed. So the way, hey, we'll
come back. This is going to be a very fun day.
(10:11):
Another great thing is going to happen to Republicans tomorrow,
to conservatives and by extension to America, and ironically it's
going to be a Democrat winning an election. So I'll
explain that when we come back. You're on the Dan
Kapla Show.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
And now back to The Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Zorhanmandami, thirty four year old Democratic socialist.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
He's the communist, non socialist communisty he's far worse than a.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Social Some people have compared him to a left wing
version of you, charismatic breaking the old rules.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Well, I think I'm a much better looking person than him.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Right, did you watch at full sixty minutes? I've only
seen the highlights, just the highlights, you know, in so
many ways he's getting even sharper. I mean, he's only
a human, right, regardless of age. A guy could be
twenty five, a guy could be seventy five, doesn't matter.
Occasionally you're going to say something the wrong way or
(11:10):
mix up your words or name. That's gonna happen. But
he is incredibly sharp. But we'll play some other sound
from the interview where with happy with joy and you
know he is an age when he wants to but
kind of happy warrior stuff, you know, really gave it
to the interview, or the kind of stuff that just
takes high level intellect, quick thinking, et cetera. So as
(11:31):
we sit here now, first Monday in November a year ago,
everybody remembers where they were and what they were thinking,
we're definitely seeing him at his best, right, I mean,
right now, this version let's let's let's do the Joe
Scarborough thing, except will be accurate, and he was the
polar opposite, dishonest to the point I don't know how
he's even on air anymore. Everybody remembers Scarborough saying if
(11:53):
you literally though he didn't say the full word, Joe Biden,
this is the best version of Jana luxual, the best
version of Joe Biden. Ever, how could any guy who
would look at the American people in the eye and
tell a lie like that stay on air? I mean
it baffles me, but I think this clearly is the
best version of Trump. All right, got a text here, Dan,
(12:16):
did you see the article on khow website about Trump
having his highest disapproval rating ever? Oh? Text, are you're
so kind? I wish you would just call the show
and I would say to the text or my friend,
let's look together at the polls a year ago. By
the way, that was a CNN poll. Let's look together
at the CNN polls a year ago and see who
(12:37):
they were telling us was going to win the president
Joel election? Right, how anybody if it's bad news for Trump.
I think it's just argument malpractice to rely on a
poll unless it's a poll that has historically been fair
to Trump over the years, and we can count those
on two fold.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Well, Dan and real quick.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I think it's pertinent to the point here that you know,
the text is trying to dunk on Donald Trump. If
it's bad for Trump, guess what Harriented from CNN says,
it's even worse for the Democrats.
Speaker 8 (13:06):
Democrat at this point are historically divided. It is a
complete and utter mess. It is messier than a hoarder's basement.
What are we talking about here? The national early poll
leader twenty five percent plus. Normally that's where Democrats are.
Biden was twenty five percent plus in twenty twenty. Hillary
Clinton was an eight and sixteen or was a to
O four. At this particular point, there is no one,
(13:28):
no one in the Democratic race for president who's polling
at twenty five percent plus.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
The water is quite warm.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
If you're a Democrat potentially thinking about running in twenty
twenty eight, jump right in because at this point there
is no front runner.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Is that? What do you think is that?
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Because how people view the Democratic Party right now. Is
that contributing to this Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
I think that that is in large part of what's
going on. Is one of the reasons why there is
no front runner. Nobody wants to put anybody up at
the top of their batlletlest is because at this particular point,
the Democratic brand is in the basement. It is total
and complete garbage in the mind of the American public.
The Democratic Party's net fabr rating record lows in all
three Wall Street Journal thirty points underwater, CNN twenty six
(14:13):
points underwater, Gallup twenty six points underwater. And that is
being driven in large pop by discontent within the Democratic base.
The Democratic base wants something different, will ultimately end.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Up seeing who they choose.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
It will be quite the thing who ultimately gets the road.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Well, it goes to what I teased into this segment
with good news for Republicans, good news for all conservatives,
and by extension, good news for America that Mom Ganni
is going to win and be elected mayor of New
York tomorrow. Yes, he's a Democrat, he won the Democratic primary.
He's a Democrat socialist. But obviously the reason it's such
good news is this is the reality of the Democratic Party.
(14:50):
Now you have some people who wrap it up in
more bland packages, you know, like a Polist or a
Beanit or a Hickenloper. But the Democratic Party has gone
so far left of where many Democratic voters even appreciate
that the election of a guy like Mom Donnie tomorrow
is just going to be great because it'll just point
out to people what this party has really become. And
(15:13):
as I said leading up to election day in twenty
twenty four, Okay, Trump's going to win and that's huge.
But the other piece we need so that GOP keeps
swinging beyond Trump is for people to see who the
left really is, and Mom Donnie will help expose that, because,
my goodness, Ryan, I know that the secular left has
taken over the ownership and operation of the Democratic Party,
(15:33):
or they've seized it. But they're going to get all
religious about Mom Donnie. I mean that the way he's
going to be elevated after his win tomorrow, you know,
he is the future. He's going to be a Democratic
Party deity. And then you're going to have a lot
of Democrats because I know a lot of patriotic great
Americans who are Democrats. They've just been that way out
(15:55):
of habit over all these years, including many in my
own family out of state, going to be down for mom, Donnie,
They're not going to be down for a socialist, and
they're going to say, wait a second, this is my party.
So that day is coming, and it's actually coming tomorrow.
Twel three someone three eight two five five text d
A N five seven seven three nine. You see where
(16:16):
Barack Obama called him and offered to give him device
be his counselor after he wins tomorrow. So what a
pair that's going to be.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
He did say President Obama as a primary influence of
his I think the former president stopped just short of
like endorsing him outwardly the way some Democrats mainstream ones
have tepidly done. But when's the last time, Dan, that
Barack Obama has parachuted in and really helped move the
needle in a race that wasn't his own.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, no, that's right, And that goes to Michelle Obama's
interesting spin on things over the weekend. Cuts six. Please Ryan,
this is the latest from the former first Lady.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
I'm still thinking about the country that elected Barack Obama
overwhelmingly as president twice.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
We are still those people.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
It's just that sometimes we can get lost in the
struggles that we face. And when folks are facing tough
economic times, when jobs are scarce, when opportunities seem to
be less, it's easy to have somebody make you think
it's somebody else's fault.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Well, wait a second, So people only turn away from
the Democrats, meaning Obama and that cult when they get
lost in the struggles that they face, like at the
end of Obama's second term, when they were struggling so
much because of Obama and his radicalism and his failed
policies and leading from behind, that their life had become
(17:48):
so bad that they decided to vote for Trump. Yeah,
I think she's right about that. I think that's what
happened in sixteen. Obama's presidency was so bad by the end,
a lot of people in normal voted Democrat voted for Trump.
And so I'm not quite clear on what point she's
trying to make there, but talk about legacy lost Barack Obama.
(18:10):
But tomorrow, Hey, who do you think in Colorado will
jump first? Who is going to be the first to deify, glorify,
worship Mom Donnie after he wins the mayoral race in
New York tomorrow. I think it'll be like bumper cars,
political bumper cars. The SE's Democrats will be, you know,
just running all over each other to get out in
(18:33):
front of of the Mam Donnie worship service, which will
be again doing a great service for Republicans, et cetera,
because Coloradin's need to see just how crazy left the
democrats here have become. You're on the Dan Caplas.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Show, You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
But what if Mondani becomes mayor?
Speaker 6 (18:55):
There's going to be hard for me as the president
to give a lot of money to New York because
if you have a communist running New York, all you're
doing is wasting the money you're sending there.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
So I don't know that he's one, and I'm not
a fan of Cuomo one way or the other. But
if it's going to be between a.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Bad Democrat and a communist, I'm going to pick that
bad Democrat all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
To be honest with you, Yeah, how do you argue
with that logic? Three or three seven one three A
two five five The number techs d A N five
seven seven three nine going to be really fun to
see which Colorado Democrats, high profile you know, line up
at the altar of Mandanmi first tomorrow after he wins.
A lot of people going to be coming out of
(19:39):
that COMMI closet emboldened by the Mamdani victory, which will
be great for conservatives and the geopeak. Since I'm just
telling you man as a former Democrat, there are so
many Democrats, really good, smart people who you know, they
just don't pay much attention to politics by choice, and
I understand and respect that, but they just vote more
out of hand and against the GOP. And when they
(20:02):
wake up and realize, holy cow, my party is glorifying
a COMMI, Yeah, that'll get their attention. Three all three
seven one three A two five five the number techs
d an five seven seven three nine, because that's the
thing that gets lost in the conversation a lot is
there are so many I'm talking about Democrat voters. They
don't have any power in the party other than their vote.
(20:24):
But Democrat voters who absolutely who are extremely patriotic people
and would likely have the same views toward America and
patriotism as many Republicans, but have it you know, the
stereotype of the Republican Party. They just always vote Democrat
and they're not at all going to be down with
(20:45):
this commi stuff because think about what you got in Colorado.
You got all these people wrapping up this far left
stuff in these boring melt post packages. Hick and Looper,
Bennett Polis. Yeah. Yeah, they're able to pull the con
in terms of making people think there's some kind of
moderate when you just strip all the doughboys stuff away,
(21:07):
and what do you get in the middle there is
you get the same far left policies. You may get
a little variance here and there, but for the most
part they're marching to the same far left drummer. And
then a guy like Mom Donnie, he kind of forces
the mask to drop, and then we'll have lots of
Colorado Democrat leaders celebrating it. So we'll pull that sound,
(21:27):
we'll enjoy it together. I want to do a bit
of a hard turn here, but only after first mentioning
what a bunch of garbage. On most nights the ABC
News at the top of the hour, and this program
is and it's such a tale of two newsrooms. Because
we have our local newsroom. They're right outside the door.
You do great, you can rely on them totally. Then
(21:50):
you get ABC and it's just political propaganda ninety nine
percent of the time. I mean, did you hear him
at the top today, Ryan, where ABC is talking about
Trump and I'm paraphrasing, finally confirm, so follow the federal
court order to use contingency funds for snap. Trump said
on Friday he would be honored to use the funds
(22:12):
that way. He wanted guidance from the court. So they're
just it's such a waste, right, such a waste. We
need good, reliable, fair and balanced as much as any
human endeavor can be national news available, and we sure
as that don't get it from ABC. A little bit
of a hard turn here, Very very happy, as I
mentioned Friday, to see President Trump now zeroing in on
(22:35):
the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria at least thirty
five a day, and often these slaughters are just you know,
beyond imagination, just literally straight out of hell type brutal
mass rape, everything else. And so Trump very very powerful
video over the weekend. I'd play it for you, but
it wouldn't make any sense because all you'd hear would
(22:57):
be the music. But you know, the wording from the
Our Father and then the images of American armed forces
in battle after Trump has said that I wants that
slaughter of Christians and Nigeria to stop. And it's really
a mass slaughter of Catholics in Nigeria. So great to
see Trump stepping up now, Freed Zakaria from CNN not
(23:19):
happy to see Trump stepping up. Wonder why cut ten please?
Speaker 10 (23:24):
It seems very impulsive and emotional. He possibly saw something
on TV. It is very strange the Nigerian the situation
is exactly as you said, Sarah.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Very complicated. A lot of the violence people have heard.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
About in Nigeria Bokoharam.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
That terror group that took those school children, we all
remember that was.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Mostly Muslim on Muslim violence, those are Jihadi groups often taking,
you know, killing Muslims, not not in all cases, but
in many of them.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So let me get this straight. For Reed, that very
condescending thing the left do. Oh, he must have seen
something on TV. No, there is a well documented mass
slaughter of Christians, many of them Catholic, occurring in Nigeria,
and Trump has said enough is enough, and Free Zakaria
and many others on the left they don't want to
(24:17):
hear that. Why do you think they don't want to
hear that? Cut eleven?
Speaker 10 (24:19):
Please, there is Muslim Christian violence, as you say, some
of it is based on farmers versus goatherders. The current president,
Danubu has actually been trying his best to diffuse that
kind of violence and is himself an exemplary example of
(24:40):
Nigeria's kind of multi religious tradition. He is Muslim, the
president of Nigeria.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
He's married to a Christian woman.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
Who is an ordained minister, and he often talks about
how that marriage is part of what he's trying to do.
Nigeria's fifty percent Christian fifty percent Muslim.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Well talks cheap result some matter, He's got to try harder.
And what do you want to see Trump do in Nigeria?
Three or three seven one three A two five five
the number to stop the genocide of Christians? Text Dan
Dan five seven seven three nine. Do you think there
should be some type of direct American military action that
(25:19):
that was certainly the strong hint in the video released
over the weekend, or what formation should it take? Maybe
you think the president should do nothing? Would love to
hear from me on that Dan five seven seven, three nine.
I'm trying to figure out why fred Is is so
worked up about this. You would think he would want
the American president stopping a genocide like this cut twelve place.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
So it's an odd place for President trumpt to interject himself,
particularly militarily. I suspect, like many of President Trump's, you know,
emotional outbursts that will not actually lead to military action.
Would you know, that could set off a kind of
dinder box in Nigeria.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
But we just have to wait and see.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
With President Trump, it's you know, as often you're trying
to mind read there's one man.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, you know, it's amazing to me. The condescension is
so much fun, especially now that he's what, you know,
he's coming up on ten months into his second term. Right,
And I'm sure if we went back to Farid Zacaria's comments,
just like so many others on the left, so many
quote influencers back in twenty sixteen, the way they mocked
(26:34):
the idea he'd ever be president, And then you measure
the impact on the world someone like Zecharia is having
versus Trump, It's it's a beautiful thing to see. So yeah,
but what I don't get Ryan is I'm pretty darned
sure Freed Zakario was apoplectic over you know, the alleged
genocide in Gaza and a there was no genocide in
(26:57):
Gaza other than our you'll believe the genocide being committed
against the people of Gaza by Hamas, but because they
were responsible for that bloodshed, But why be so worked
up over that? And then just ah, yes, you know,
genocide of Christians in Nigeria, which seems to be his attitude.
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (27:16):
So I'm trying to figure out the calculation because there's
equivocation where he's trying to basically a down play and
water down the analysis.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
That there is this going on in Nigeria.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
To me, if it's even a dozen Christians Catholics being
massacred in Nigeria, that's a dozen too many.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
That's a problem.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
But he seems to be saying, well, you know, it's
some of it's Muslim on Muslim violence, and it's fifty
percent Muslim fifty percent Christian.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
But it doesn't seem to me to justify any.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Of the killing of a Christian or whatever else in Nigeria.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
And I think this goes to something bigger, and we'll
kick it around a little more after the break. But
it goes to the fact that the left is used
to being able to kick Christians round, right, that the
left is used to the world accepting the slaughter of Christians,
America accepting the mistreatment of Christians. They're just used to
(28:12):
that status quo. And I can't speak for Zekaria individually
other than to say, wow, how could you not care
about genocide in Nigeria? But in general, with the Left,
they're just used to being able to get away with
just about whatever they want to against Christians. Just look
at Colorado, Look at Jack Phillips, look at three Zo
three creative. Had the US Supreme Court itself not stepped in,
(28:35):
there would have been this mass, gross violation of the
religious freedom of these Colorados. So I think the left
is terrified at the idea that wait a second, all
of a sudden, now Christians may actually get a fair shake.
That's not what the left wants here on the Dan
Kaplas Show.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 11 (28:56):
When you use the term keep fakes, was that choice
of words in the moment or was that something that
had been prepared ahead of time as a talk.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It was prepared.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
Did you or did anyone ever verify if the videos
you were talking about were in fact chief fakes?
Speaker 12 (29:14):
I believe, So.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
What is the chief fake? I really don't know.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
It was something that we did, that coin. It was
something that the media coined. They did the work, they
did the legwork on coming up with that terminology, and
so we were just elevating essentially what the media was saying.
That the press was saying it is.
Speaker 13 (29:39):
I mean, it basically is laid out how you defined
it with what President Biden was actually doing, and it
took away from what he was actually doing or created
an illusion of something that just did not exist.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
Were all clips circulated on social media or otherwise showing
President Biden being confused or freezing at times?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Were those all faces?
Speaker 12 (30:06):
I can't speak to every everything that was on social media, sure.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
But there were instances where videos were circulated of President
Biden appearing confused or freezing for a moment that were
real correct.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Not that I recall this.
Speaker 12 (30:26):
What we were trying to lift up was something that
was very very clear that what they were showing was
not actually what was happening.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
While remarkable and that goes to the next clip I'm
going to play for you. But KGP just admitting, yeah,
that whole quote, deep fake thing the media handed him that,
you know, that's how the media wanted it labeled. And
and so this is what we've talked about. Freeers. Right,
It's not news to you, but here's news, and that
is this sort of thing will be news to a
(30:56):
lot of Democrats. I mean, you're dialed into stuff you
listen to show like this, Whether you grieve me, disagree
with me, it's a mix. You are committed to the
process and that's why you spend your time this way.
But there are so many Democrats out there who are not,
and so you know, they just vote, you know, for
Democrats on a habit and against Republicans. And as they
(31:19):
start to hear more of this stuff, it leads to
it leads to this. Harrietton, CNN on the Democratic brand
being completely shattered at this point cut fifteen police.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
Democrats at this point are historically divided. It is a
complete and utter mess. It is messier than a hoarder's basement.
What are we talking about here? The national early poll
leader twenty five percent plus normally that's where Democrats are.
Biden was twenty five percent plus in twenty twenty. Hillary
Clinton wasn't O eight and sixteen or wasn't to O four.
At this particular point, there is no one, no one
(31:52):
in the Democratic race for president who's polling at twenty
five percent plus.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
The water is quite warm.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
If you're a Democrat potentially thinking about running in twenty
twenty eight, jump right in because at this point there
is no front runner.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
Is that What do you think is that because we're
how people view the Democratic Party right now? Is that
contributing to this?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (32:15):
I think that that is in large part of what's
going on. Is one of the reasons why there is
no front runner. Nobody wants to put anybody up at
the top of their balletless is because at this particular point,
the Democratic brand is in the basement. It is total
and complete garbage in the mind of the American public.
The Democratic parties net fabru rating record lows in all
three Wall Street Journal thirty points underwater, CNA in twenty
(32:36):
six points underwater, Gallup twenty six points underwater. And that
is being driven in large pomp by discontent within the
Democratic base. The Democratic base wants something different will ultimately
end up seeing who they choose. It'll be quite the
thing who ultimately gets the road.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, and my point is, and i'd love your take on, Okay,
why is the Democrat brand shattered? And it's so critical
that it be shattered? Right because Trump this term will
eventually end after the midterms, there may or may not
be it be a little lame, little bit of lame
duck status. So it's so important Americans see who the
modern Democratic Party really is. So that's why this news
(33:14):
is worth much more than the good warm feeling it
gives us at the moment. I mean, this is our
hope for the future. You know, Republicans have to do
eight plus, but people got to see you these Dems
really are. Here's what I think key is what one
of the enormous keys, as a former Democrat, I tell
you this is the fact that all of them, all
of these top Democrats, without exception, without exception, pedaled the
(33:39):
big lie that Biden was competent to be presenting and
then eventually it became clear to everybody he wasn't and
hadn't been for a long time. So I don't care
if you're talking about your polist Mike Johnston Hick and
Luopur Bennett spread out across the country. Newsome, they're all
tainted right now, and they don't realize they or acknowledge
it because they look down on their own voters, that
(34:02):
they look down on normal, hard working Democrats, and you
can see that reflected in the polling. And they don't
understand that for many, many, many Americans, including many Democrats,
truth matters because for the secular left that controls the
Democratic Party, truth is seen as a weakness, and all
these people lie repeatedly, right, these top elected Democrats. But
(34:26):
for a lot of Democrat voters and certainly a lot
of unaffiliateds and Republicans, truth matters in large part and
not always and only, but because their faith matters to them,
and truth is is at the core of their faith
and a core requirement of their faith. So you get
all these big Democrats without exception, peddling this lie about Biden.
(34:47):
It taints them all. It taints them all for a
long time. That's something. People may forget policy stuff because
they have real lives. They're not going to forget somebody
who lied to them about whether the President of the
United States, who held their safety in his hands, was competent.
They're not going to forget the people who lied to
them about that. And that's why I think this thing
(35:10):
has legs, and it has legs for the whole current crop.
As long as these people running are people who lied
to their own voters and lied to America about whether
they had a competent president, it is going to hurt
them to one degree another. Hey, lots to do with
when we come back. Glad you're here on The Dan
Kapli Show.
