Speaker 1 (00:00):
KRFX HD two Denver, khow Denver they say, six thirty
k OWL Denver's talk station. Then iHeartRadio station, guaranteed human
perfect summer day to fight for the American Way. Glad
you're here. Shannon Scott behind the glass. Very exciting in
the building today because Grant, right, Grant's about to have

(00:23):
a baby. It's just Grant wonderful young producer and so
Shannon filling in here while Zach bumps over to that
show and it just, man, it brings back memories because
it was about this time, you know, we have we
have two August babies and eleven and nineteen August eleven
in August nineteen, So it just brings back great memories.

(00:43):
It's going to the hospital when Joe was born and
then when Caroline was born, and wow, it really does
seem like yesterday, and it is definitely not yesterday. Wish
it was, because every single year has been great and
they're still all great. But three all three, seven, one, three, eight, two, five, five,
d an five, seven, seventh through nine. So all I'm
saying is, if if you're just having a baby, or

(01:04):
about to have a kid, or your first kid or whatever,
just hey, whatever it takes, whatever it takes, don't miss
a minute, you know, make it your top priority, and
you know it's it's really really nice to get to
this point in life and be able to say, you know,
we did that, we did that. Didn't do everything right,
certainly not me, but we did that. Always made the

(01:25):
kids a top priority, and that just that'd be a
tough regret to live with if you didn't right. But
we got a lot of great advice young on and
we were true to it. You know, lost a lot
of sleep along the way. But it's as every parent knows,
it's the greatest thing in the world. Certainly Shannon Scott's
parents would tell you that. But three or three someone
three eight two five five d A N five seven

(01:47):
seven three nine. Lots to talk about today. This is
a fun one at least in my mind. Be anxious
to get your take and again text d A N
five seven seven three nine. I'd Denver is selling the
naming rights to fund the Betcher Concert Hall renovations. So

(02:07):
listening to the story, it's a short one, interesting, it
has a kind of fun twist to it as well.
But then I want to get your take on what
else we should be selling the naming rights to. Now,
think about it, what would you be willing to sell
the naming rights to? What would you not be willing
to sell the naming rights to? It creates some fun possibilities.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Better concert Hall could be getting a makeover and a
name change. A city council committee signed off on the
proposal this week. It would be the concert Hall's first
major upgrade in almost fifty years, at a price tag
of more than one hundred million dollars. To help cover
the cost, the city says the concert hall operators can
go look for naming rights partners for the building in
several amenities, but there is one rule. They can sell

(02:52):
naming rights to any liquor, tobacco or marijuana companies.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Wow, wow, the interesting twist at the end. And I
think that was probably just named and at marijuana, right,
And what do you think about those restrictions in general?
You know, no look or no marijuana, no tobacco. But
certainly I'm sure they could sit there and they could
see one of these big marijuana companies just buying the
rights right to try to legitimate its legitimate itself. Maybe

(03:17):
legitimize I think you could go with either. But in
any case, it would be horrific, right, absolutely horrific, because Denver,
even though they won't admit it, Denver knows it has
been so devastated by legalized marijuana. The last thing it
needs is a very prominent building named for one of
those poison producers. So and again, no value judgment on

(03:38):
any adult who does marijuana in the privacy of his
or her home. The problem is the delivery system. And
once this city and state made a mistake that no
other city or state had made in modern times. Before
Denver fell for that phony pitch from the left, you know,
there was no other place in the world that did

(03:58):
legal marijuana the way color Or did. Almost no place
did it because they were too sane to do that,
but they sure didn't do it. Even Amsterdam didn't do
it the way that Colorado decided to do it. Where
you have more marijuana stars than McDonald's and I think
it's Starbucks and McDonald's combined. Yeah, so horrible, horrible, horrible
message for the kids. And the kids got that message,

(04:20):
and so many more kids use and are damaged by it,
and let alone all the other arms. So yeah, don't
want to be naming the stuff after the drug dealers.
But what do you think I did that idea selling
the naming rights to Betcher. I read one story where
it suggested the naming rights they expected to go for
around fifteen million. What would you be willing to sell

(04:41):
the naming rights to in terms of public buildings, roadways?
Use your imagination. What would you be willing to sell
the naming rights to? And then or how much? You know,
what would that minimum number have to be? Of course
you always hope to get as much as you can,
but what would that minimum have to be. Let's go
beyond the public sphere. You know, what else would you

(05:03):
be willing to sell the naming rights to? I think
would some people be willing to sell the naming rights
to their kids? I don't like, Hey that's Ford, Bronco Smith,
something like that. How much would it have to be?
I'm not sure that Ford would do a lot of that,
but you never know. I mean, you see some companies

(05:25):
they pay to wrap up people's cars. How much would
somebody have to pay you to put a wrap on
your car advertising their business? I expect your answer is
going to be depends on the business right. Some people
might say, hey, they wouldn't have to pay me anything
if it was a cool enough business. But yeah, what
would somebody have to pay to wrap your car? What

(05:48):
about DA? What about DA? How much is there any
price that a company would need to pay any number
of jobs a company would need to bring to Colorado
and guarantee to get naming rights to the airport? What
about that? Thero three seven one three eight two five five,
the number d A N five seven seven three nine

(06:09):
and a spinning off of You know, malt Kiros, this
this very very toxic, worrisome development in Colorado, within my
constitutionally protected opinion flaming anti semite, you know, now likely
to be the congresswoman from Colorado CD one, But hey,
not so fast. You know a doctor has stepped up

(06:32):
to run against her, Schamon Blau, and he's going to
join us Monday at five oh six. So very much
looking forward to having him on air and having him
on air as often as he wants to come on.
And I'd say the same to malt Kiros. We have
her every day if she wanted to have that conversation.
I think the more exposure people get to her and
her true views, et cetera, the more likely it is

(06:52):
she becomes a one term congress person. Let's hope if
the doctor can't knock her off. Hey, anything's pos possible, right,
But realistically, I mean, it's a very, very, very tough haul.
I admire him for getting in the race and fighting
that good fight. But the reason I mentioned molc Kiros
is because now you have now you have the winner

(07:14):
of the Michigan primary. And I'm sure you know by
now it's Abdul al Sayad, and he is going to
be running against Mike Rodgers. And you know, this is
good in the sense that it gives the Republican a
better chance to win in Michigan. But anybody who's out
there saying this thing's now a slam dunk for the
Republican is is not paying attention. Because while there are

(07:35):
a million different reasons that Abdul i Sayad should not
be in the US Senate, none of which have to
do with his faith or anything like that, all of
which has to do with the content of his character,
not the color of his skin. You know. But he
is a very very very talented candidate. So if you're
not familiar with him yet, maybe you're just getting headline

(07:57):
grabs things like that. You know, the stuff they say
about ideology, most of that, from what I can tell,
is true, just dangerously far left, and lots of other
ideological issues, very very bad for America. But a very
accomplished and talented candidate, doctor, many other accomplishments, very articulate,

(08:20):
good looking guy. So anybody who's thinking, oh, he's going
to be easy to beat because he's such a whack, No,
they're not paying attention. There is a very real danger
that we're going to have what I would characterize as
a flaming antisemitic socialist in the US Senate three out
three seven one three eight two five five d A
N five seven seven three nine. So we'll get some

(08:43):
sound from him and about him. I want to touch
on this Fauci thing real quick, because I know Fauci
hurt you, and he hurt your life if I'm talking
to somebody who lived in America at that time, and
above all, he hurt the kids. And again that I
don't mean to sound naive or pollyanna, but to me,
that's just mind blowing because you would think across party lines,

(09:03):
ideological stuff, all that would go out the window when
it comes to something sacred like kids. But that train
left a long time ago for the Democratic Parties, starting
with you know, mass abortion on demand, through the moment
of delivery, the beginning of delivery, and for some Democrats
supporting it beyond that. But yeah, when it comes to

(09:29):
the willingness of the left and the Democratic Party to
sell out kids, you know, Fauci's the epitome of that,
what he did during COVID. So when we come back,
I want to play some sound about from Senator Ron Johnson.
Super impressive guys. You know, otta Wisconsin and his committee
got a hold of Fauci's phone and now they think

(09:50):
they're going to be able or apparently they already have
been able to download his phone. Very interesting development, especially
on the heels of the government being able to pull
Fauci's diary off of a government server, and that's what
has fully exposed Fauci in his lies and all the
awful things he did. When we come back, yeah, Ron
Johnson talking about they what they're going to be able

(10:13):
to do and not do. That's an important part of
this too with Fauci's phone, and I'll tie into that. Okay,
you probably saw the headline He's been held in contempt
by the Senate Committee. But where is that likely to go?
In my opinion, unfortunately, not where we would want it
to go. You're on the dan Caplace Show, Senator Ron Johnson.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Whateverever evidence we uncover from those devices, including his phone,
probably k used to prosecute him on federal crimes. I
don't know what jeopardy he might have in States. I
know the return General from Florida's looking at this. Tommy
Turberville coach Tarberville becomes the governor of Alabama, says his
goals to have Anthony Fauci in court every day for
the rest of his life. Again, so states may pursue chargers.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
But for my standpoint, is so important that the.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
American public understands what happened here. There's so many legitimate
questions that deserve answers, And the first level of accountability
is exposure, exposed to the truth that started with anthro
Fauci big time with to release those diaries and that
hearing on last Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, and so much good is being done by that
truth coming out, and it'll make it hopefully undermine the
credibility of everybody who came out and said the things
that they did and punished people the way that they did,
and above all punished the children the way that they
did during COVID, all to advance Democratic Party goals, right,

(11:41):
because it was all about maximizing the disruption to America
so that Trump would not win reelection and also increasing
the power of government. Right, the left wanted us conditioned
at that point to give up our most basic fundamental
rights because of quote public emergencies. Yeah, all of that,
all of that harm done, and hopefully will remember I

(12:01):
don't think I don't think they will at the level
that we see overtake an election cycle, but hopefully it will.
It will sink into the point where it has some
effect on the outcome of these races, probably dependent race
to race, on how well that the candidates are able
to deploy it and the particulars of their particular race.

(12:23):
But boy, there are so many elected people on the
left right now, so very vulnerable on that who treated
Fauci as a god, et cetera. And then just so willfully,
you know, just punish these children, and I think so
many of these kids are still suffering the effects of that.
The younger they were at the time, the greater and
more long term the effects. But I think kids of

(12:44):
all ages should. I remember our daughter, she was a
freshman in college when COVID shut it all down, and
obviously at that you know, level of maturity, and she's older,
she was able to handle it better. But it threw
all those kids off. So be very very interesting to
see what we get out of Fauci's phone.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Now.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
The reason Ron Johnson was saying, Hey'm not sure it
could be used in any federal prosecutions is obviously you
have that immunity that was granted by somebody or something
autopen or whatever to Fauci. But this goes to the
other headline about Fauci today, which is the Senate Committee

(13:23):
holding him in contempt for refusing to answer questions. You know,
I think Fauci held the nation in contempt, But I
don't think that contempt citation is going anywhere, because you know,
you know, while Fauci is not facing the federal charges
up to the point in time when you know that
pardon was granted in January of twenty five, you know

(13:47):
he is still at this point facing state charges. Potentially.
You heard a little bit that in the last sound
bites So I don't see how you can hold a
guy in contempt for exercising his Fifth Amendment right when
he's still facing the possibility of all these state charges.
I'm glad that they put him on camera and he
had to do it publicly so the whole nation and

(14:09):
world could see who he really is. But yeah, from
a legal standpoint, I just don't see how that contempt
citation goes anywhere. I want to want to talk a
little bit more about this Abdul Lsayed being the DEM
nominee in Michigan thing, because it has so much relevance
in Colorado since the Colorado Democratic Party is obviously being

(14:30):
taken over by socialists, you know, with me lot Carros
now being you know, the most popular DEM out there,
I think that's pretty clear. And again, you know, especially
as she sees l Sayed whin that Michigan primary, she
knows if she had just had the courage to take
on higgin Loooper, she would have beat him. I mean,
maybe she doesn't beat him by the fourteen she beat
the get ybe, but she would have beat him by

(14:52):
six or seven. And do you think, what do you
think that this you know, open socialist and I've got
the sound right. People still can't believe it. How's it
not headlines everywhere? That Malac Carros recently came out and
said that, uh ya, the most common sense appro defund
the Pentagon.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
One of the things you said, come back to the
first thing you said, come back to it was defund
the Pentagon.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
It is, I think the most common sense position. Yes,
I said, not headlines anywhere. And she goes on to say,
bought at the very least, we should cut their budget.
But now she's endorsing defunding the Pentagon, which means she's
endorsing this nation being taken over by another nation. There's
no other way to interpret that. But that's the reason

(15:36):
l CIED is so important here because you know how
powerful is this is, this movement in the Democratic Party
right now to open socialism, and that the very very
very ugly you might call it under belly leading edge
of this new brand of socialists. Every brand of socialist

(15:58):
has been awful, but this new brand of socialist which
is so hateful toward Jews and Israel. And so you
know the fact else I had got that nomination in Michigan.
Let's get jd Vance's take on him or no. No, Hey,
here's what I want to play for you get a
taste of this guy again, I cautioned earlier, very accomplished.

(16:18):
He's a doctor, he's a Rhodes scholar. He's extremely handsome
and articulate. But he is a lot a lot of
bad things ideologically. But listen to him taking shots at
jd Vance and his wife sexually. What do you think
is going through Usha's head what he talks because I, damn,

(16:38):
I'll have to sleep with him. I mean, who, Like
I guess he's pregnant, so I guess I guess I's happening.
But like, yeah, like you've got to imagine like truly
zero charisma, like Usha, like get out, okay, wow, Yeah,
So this is going to be wild. You know. It
absolutely gives the UH, gives the Republican a chance. Mike

(16:59):
Rogers very pressive candidate there, and that would be great
for the nation if the GOP could steal a Senate
seat in Michigan. Three out three seven one three eight
two five five the number DN five seven seven three nine. Hey,
I do want to get back to this naming rights
thing for a second. At the beginning of the show,
we were talking about how Denvers City Council has approved

(17:21):
selling the naming rights to bet you and got to
believe somebody'd pay a lot for that right, I mean
the naming rights to Ball Arena. When Pepsi Center left
that deal, the naming rights went cheap. From everything I
understand it cheap by modern standards. I think, if what
I've heard is true that Balls paint just like six

(17:41):
million a year for maybe ten years for those naming rights.
If that report is true, and naming rights values have
skyrocketed since, then skyrocket And then I think a lot
of it has to do with private equity, you know,
moving into different industries, et cetera, and seeing these naming
rights is a great way to to do something shorter

(18:01):
long term. But the whole naming rights thing is absolutely skyrocketed.
So you wonder what somebody would pay for Betcher And
how do you feel just about selling the naming rights,
you know, to public buildings like that? What else would
you or would you not sell naming rights to like
anywhere in the state, first in the public sphere, the

(18:23):
public domain for enough money? Would you sell the naming
rights to the state capital, say some big company promise
to headquarter here, bring a ton of jobs, because now
we lead the nation in bud tenders, right, but this
state is leaking oil when it comes to really good jobs,

(18:44):
and ever since legalization of marijuana is at a real
hard time attracting, you know, the big great employers. So
would you sell the naming rights to the state capital
for enough jobs? You're on the Dan Capitol Show, Petterman.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
They're not ashamed to say these kinds of you know thing,
you know, like, you know, abolish all of those things
that are not viable. And now as ed, he he
just won, you know, And I just want to issue
a dare continue to campaign with It's on Piker? Right now?
You're in a general election.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Now, I dare you?

Speaker 5 (19:20):
I dare you keep campaigning with someone like this on Piker?
You know, if I was a Republican, I would just
dump to you know, twenty million dollars for ads. You know,
he piles around with Piker.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Why Fetterman gets more impressive all the time. I mean,
he's still wrong on a fundamental issue of life, but
he gets more impressive and courageous all the time. And
this LSIA, if you haven't heard about him, he's the
dem nominee for Senate in Michigan, doctor former Rhodes scholar, handsome, articulate,
far far far left, I believe, extremely anti Semitic and

(19:57):
and lots of these wild socialist type views. So it's
it's going to be quite a race. He also has
a very aggressive kind of attitude. I played the sound
earlier of him mocking JD Vance and Usha Vance's sex
life stuff like that. Yeah, just it's going to be
a fascinating race, and I'm very optimistic. I mean that

(20:19):
Michigan race, that's going to be a tough, tight, close race.
But the Republican has a much better chance than he
would have had of winning that race, which would be
great for America, right it could really help affect that
balance in the Senate. But a very important race to
America in terms of this big move towards socialism and
the Democratic Party and whether it's going to succeed. I

(20:41):
don't think it would succeed in Colorado right now, but
it really would have been interesting if malt Kiros had
run against ticken Looper and because she would have beat him,
and then to see if she would have won statewide.
Do you think she would have? I mean, what's your
take on that? Three oh three seven, one, three eight
two five five d ann seven through ninety. Do you
think she would have won a statewide race in Colorado?

(21:06):
You know, as I think clearly a flaming anti semit
I mean, I don't know what other conclusion you draw.
When she literally wants to end the state of Israel.
That doesn't mean she wants to commit a Holocaust. She doesn't.
She wants to end the state of Israel and have
everybody between the river and the sea just have one
big state and vote on who ruled the others. And

(21:29):
guess who's going to win that vote. You know, he
got about eighteen million people, and seven and a half
million of them are Jews. So and also, and I've
played the sound, said that the most common sense idea
is to defund the Pentagon, which of course means America
being conquered by its enemies. Now, she says, at the
very least they should cut the budget, but she wants

(21:50):
to defund the Pentagon. Do you think that person would
have won statewide in Colorado? I mean, GP is a
very really like Mark basely impressive, credible guy. He's going
to be taken on Hickenlooper, and I admire anybody who
takes on, you know, those big uphill battles. But say
it had been kiss the nominee, would she have won statewide?

(22:12):
D an five seven seven three nine. I want to
start getting to some of those texts. They are very
explosive today. Alexi says, only in the US can a
young adult wear one fifty shoes sip a seven dollars
coffee while posting on a one thousand phone about being
oppressed and claiming capitalism has filled them now And Alexei,
it sent something in my mind so important, which is

(22:34):
you have these different tiers of socialists and they're all
equally destructive if it doesn't matter what their motive is.
And they range from just the gullible you know, kids
who may or may not be well intentioned, but the
gullible kids who support socialism goes it's the cool thing
to do among the kids, and are some of the
kids all the way to the vicious, flat out line,

(22:58):
you know, hardcres who just want to take from these
people and give to these other people. You know, So
you've got that full range by so Alex say, it's
a good point, and that is you know, one of
the dangers right now is that this whole socialism thing
I think is becoming cooler and cooler among some kids.
But the nice polarity there is you've got so many

(23:22):
young people now moving toward conservatism. I mean, that's not
even debated right now. It's so clear that's happening, so
many young people moving toward pro life. Why do you
think this happened that we have so many more young
people moving toward conservatism. Obviously I have my theories, which
you could pretty much predict, but I'd love to get yours. Dan.

(23:44):
Vague references you make to media besides Kyle Clark, who
else name names? And what he's talking about there is
I'm out there saying, wait a second, where is the
Colorado media? And including right now, no question, the most
powerful political show on air is Kyle Clerk Show on KUSA,

(24:06):
a legacy station in Colorado. A lot of great people
have gone through there. There are still a lot of
great people there, but they decided to give this major platform,
you know, to a political activist, and so he is
extremely effective for the left. And my question is not
just aimed at him, but it starts there because he
has the most politically effective show out there is Wait

(24:30):
a second, why is it this a five alarmed fire
with Malac Kiros when you've got somebody who is literally
calling for the end of the State of Israel and
all of the other anti Semitic stuff she's been associated with,
including not willing to call the guy who tried to
burn Jews alive in Boulder anti semitic. It charged you

(24:53):
with federal hate crimes. She won't even call them aniemitic,
but she literally wants to end the State of Israel.
And she's come out and said the most common sense
solution is to defund the Pentagon. How is that not
a five alarm fire for our media? That's yeah, seems
to be quite a stunning double standard there, right, Because

(25:14):
any suspicion that any GOP candidate might be doing something anisomitic,
well then then you know you've got all the attention
in the world being paid by Kyle Clark. And listen,
if I don't care who they are, Republican An affiliated Democrat,
if somebody was doing something anisemitic, go get them, whether
it's Kyle Clark or anybody else, go get them. Gloves off.

(25:37):
There should be zero tolerance for anything anisemitic. And I'm
not saying that anything any Republican has done is maybe
it is, maybe it isn't. But all I'm saying is Malotkiros.
There's no doubt about that. So why isn't the same
fire being trained on her, which she is in fact
highly likely to be a congressoman from Colorado very shortly,

(25:59):
and she is clearly a national figure at this point,
why isn't she being treated the same way? Wants to
abolish the state of Israel three three seven one three
eight two five five. I don't know why I keep
saying that. Maybe just because I'm a throwback and I
love collars so much, But pretty much everybody texts these days,

(26:19):
uh to Dan, your stance presupposes this is all anti Semitism.
What if people just want some guardrails on Israel considering
all of the babies they've killed, Well, you can tell
where that texture is coming from. Right, Let's start with
all the babies Israel has killed, the innocent people in
Gaza who were killed or injured as a result of

(26:42):
Israel fighting back against the invasion from Hamas. All of
that blood is on Hamas. Everything I've seen, and it's
never a perfect process, right when it's a human process.
But everything I've seen is that Israel was doing, you know,
certainly by historical ands, you know, as much as it
could to try to avoid innocent civilian casualties. But what's

(27:07):
Israel supposed to do when you have Iran invade Israel
in the form of Hamas, you know, mass rape and
kidnap women, torture women and children as well as men,
burn babies alive. Are you saying this nation wouldn't go
in What do you think would happen to Mexico if

(27:28):
Mexico had done that to Texas? Really, what do you
think would have happened? Yeah, so it is a crime,
an absolute crime, that children, babies, other innocence died in
Gaza after the October seven invasion. But that crime was

(27:49):
not committed by Israel. That crime is on Hamas. But then, yeah,
anti Semitism, you know, you've got this question of because
the way these socialists try to hide it is oh, no, no, no, no,
we loved you, We don't hate Jews. This is just
about blah blah blah blah blah. But anybody who starts
with we're going to end the Jewish state? How else

(28:11):
do you interpret that? Is there some other way you
tell me? Is there some other motive for that actually
ending the Jewish state other than hating Jewish people? Somebody
explained that to me, How how do you get there?
I don't think you can because ask these same people,

(28:31):
like I think Malacchiros will come on this show, you know,
we'll ask Malatkiros. What other states do you want to abolish?
You're out there saying we should literally abolish the state
of Israel and leave the Israelis to be governed by
those around them. How do you think that's going to
work out? But what other states, Malacchiros, do you want

(28:53):
to abolish? Well, apparently the United States of America, because
you're saying the most common sense idea is to de
fund the Pentagon. But other than Israel and apparently the
United States, what other states do you want to abolish?
Have you caused for the abolishment of the Iranian government,
North Korean government? What other states? Yeah? So please, somebody

(29:16):
explain that to me. How can anybody who is calling
for the literal abolishment the end of the state of
Israel not be an Isemitic I'm waiting. You're on the
Dan Kapla show.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
You know, like you know, abolish all of those things
that they're not viable. And now as ed he just won,
you know, And I just want to issue a dare
continue to campaign with this's on Piker? Right now? You're
in a general election?

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Now, I dare you?

Speaker 5 (29:49):
I dare you keep campaigning with someone like this on Piker?

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I'd be very interesting to see if al Saiah
does that, you know, just as you saw in the
Kiros campaign, because else I had has this this hard,
arrogant edge to him. Very talented, smart guy, Rhodes scholar, doctor, handsome, articulate,
but uh but uh, I think flamingly antisemitic, very very

(30:18):
far left and just very arrogant, very arrogant. And I've
played this before, but I want to play it again
just because it I think just captures him as he
mocks you know, uh jd Van Sexually, what do you
think he's going through Usha's head? What he talks, because
I damn I'll have to sleep with him. I mean, who, Like,
I guess he's pregnant, so I guess I guess i'ms abing. Well, yeah,

(30:41):
I mean just stuff like that, and and you know
he's making fun of Fetterman's looks and things like that.
So I know that's gonna that's really gonna play well
certain places. I don't think it's gonna play well most places.
And here Harrietton in fact breaks that down in Michigan
and your.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Navy blue, you've got Haley Stevens, and you Columbia blue,
you've got Abdul Osied And what you see here is
you see that Haley Stevens did particularly well in this corridor.
And what's in this corridor, Well, there are a lot
of working class voters and a lot of.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
African American voters.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Abdul Asaya did very poorly amongst these groups in the primary.
It's going to be very interesting to see whether or
not he can bring them into the tent come the
general election, bring those swing voters with them, because we're
abdul Osaya did well. To be honest with you, we're
really just college towns. That's where he really ran up
the score. This is ann Arbor. Ann Arbor's in this county,

(31:35):
and Arbor, of course.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Is the University of Michigan. We zone out a little bit.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Another place he did particularly well was Lancing. Again, we're
talking twenty plus point marches. You can't just win college
towns if you're going to win in a general election.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, so it opens the door for the Republican mic
Rogers in the general. Let's hope Republicans get that seat.
But there's so much more at stake in Michigan than that,
right in terms of the direction of the country, which
brings me to this tax to Da N five seven
seven three nine, Dan, you and your party are the
ones bankrupting America. Does not elaborate their text or please

(32:09):
can you put a little meat on that phone? Dan,
I wonder if you have the courage to talk about
the tax cuts you got from the big beautiful bill.
If you saw my tax bill, I I know it's
hard to imagine there were any tax cuts in there.
I have also never seen you so scared. That's ironic
because I've never been less scared, That's the interesting thing.

(32:29):
And I'm not scared by nature. I think that's pretty
obvious from what I do for a living. But I've
never been less scared. And you know that's a good
question why I think right now. I'm just I'm always,
always been an optimist, right. I mean, if you're born
to my parents and at my wife and everything else
and kids, you'd be really optimistic. And I'm sure you
feel the same way about your parents and your spouse

(32:51):
and your kids, and we all should feel that way.
But I think, why am I so intensely optimistic right now?
I think it's because as a former Democrat, I can
see what the Democratic Party was back when I was
a part of it, an active part of it, and
then I can see what it became, which is why

(33:13):
I left. And then I can see how it became
socialist and extremely radicalized, but was still pretending to be moderate.
So I think one reason I'm so optimistic right now
is because the Democrats are just coming out into the
open as socialist and I'm just absolutely certain America is

(33:38):
going to reject that. Even Colorado's going to reject that.
So I think that just has me very optimistic. I'm also,
and I know this sounds great, I'm also really optimistic
because of AI. And I know that's weird because the
show started with an ABC News story, though I don't
think you can really trust ABC News. An ABC News
story about how Meta just had its AI go rogue

(34:01):
outside of its boundaries and start to attack a competitor.
And so there are those dangers and the real but overall,
I'm much more optimistic because I think AI is gonna
help people, so many more people so quickly get the
full facts. And I'm just I'm not naive. I mean,

(34:22):
I understand, you know, there's an ongoing battle between good
and evil. We all know good wins in the end
because God wins in the end. But in the meantime,
I still believe, as Luke Bryant, you know, said, most
people are good. And so the more the truth gets
out there, whether it's on abortion, whether it's on dope,
whether it's on all these other things that we talk

(34:44):
about and I care about, I just think there's going
to be much more truth delivered, much more quickly to
many more people, and that's going to help us prevail
on so many of these key issues. So yeah, I'm
just very optimistic. I was telling Shannon before the show
icon Channon Scott kind enough to do the show with
us today, that I'm optimistic about to see you buffs

(35:06):
this year. You know, I'm just so happy Primes here.
Respect the fact he stayed got a lot of new guys.
I just got that feeling. I had that feeling before
his first season. People mocked me for it, but I
really have that feeling and csu my goodness, Jim Mora.
I have always been a big Jim Morri fan, so
I think there are great things that head up there.

(35:29):
Holy cow, maybe we should just do the whole next
hour on reasons to be optimistic. We spend so much
time talking about the bad stuff, right because you need to,
because you got to stop it. But there is so
much to be optimistic about. Speaking of which, when we
come back, I want to give you one of the
most profound quotes I've ever read, and then open it

(35:51):
up to people who want a text or call with
their profound I just think he's these profound quotes, these
profound words of wisdom can have a big lasting impact,
and this is one of the most powerful I've ever
come across you. On The Dan Kapla Show
