Dan and Ryan have fun remembering the 1977 'Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth' duet with Bing Crosby and David Bowie, recorded just over a month before Der Bingle's death on a golf course in Spain.
Also, a woman is convicted of eating a domestic cat in front of witnesses not far from Springfield, Ohio - where Donald Trump suggested during a debate with Kamala Harris that 'they're eating the pets of the people who live there.'

This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Every day brings
more concrete evidence that this nation, this world right now
(00:21):
is at a very positive turning point because of the
election of Donald Trump. Does a guarantee the long term, No,
but it's an awfully could start. This CNN headline kind
of made my day popped up in the last hour
quote world leaders scramble to flatter Trump headline we never
once saw about Biden, right, but the point being obviously, yeah, Trump,
(00:43):
he represents strength. World leaders are afraid of him. They
want to make sure to please him and not displease him.
And guess what that can only be good for you
as an American and for the world. So and great
to see the President Trump is going off to the
rear opening of Notre Dame Cathedral in France, and hold.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
On, didn't Pope Francis decline an invitation to go there?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He did, But that could have been health. That could
have been health, It could have been logistics, it could
have been a lot of different things there, So I
don't read anything into that. Do you read something into that?
My friend? I've not been a fan of his, but
I've got to tell you this as a Catholic Christian
and just so grateful to have a president again who
(01:30):
respects Catholics and respects Catholicism, the opposite of Joe Biden.
So it is and Trump's not Catholic, but it is
so great to see that respect from him, and he
extends it in many different ways. You know, talk's kind
of cheap, but when it's the president, you still like
to see the talk. And so much of the talk
from Biden was the opposite. In Biden's actions horrific it
(01:54):
when it came to Catholics, when it came to religious liberty,
to lots of different things. I think Biden just did
so much damage there. But Trump has been so respectful
and again this trip to Notre Dame, that's a big
deal and I'm so glad to see him do that.
He's done other things as well. You know, after he
(02:15):
survived his assassination, the assassination attempt upon him, you know,
he published the prayer to Saint Michael and and in
Catholic churches, this is a prayer most Catholic congregations say
at the end of Mass. And I'm just telling you,
if you drop by, you will see this one. It's
like sometimes it's like you're at a game, you know,
it's so much louder and so much more intense. And
(02:37):
I understand why, because it's it's a battle. But Trump
published this prayer.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our
protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May
God rebuke him. We humbly pray and do thou, o,
Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God,
cast him to hell, Satan and all the evil spirits
(03:04):
who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, so great to see Trump publishing that. I mean
a lot of us, a lot of us Catholics anyway,
Like I say it, first thing in the morning. I've
got the Saint Michael's statue, you know, right there in
the bedroom, master bedroom, I've got it in the office.
It's just a big deal for Catholics. So it's great
that he published that. Great that he's going to Notre DAMEA.
Just a lot of things he's doing there are absolutely fantastic.
(03:33):
I wonder if we have a chance to recruit him.
What do you think think you can recruit him to
be a Catholic? Who's the wee kim Asabi? I know
you're going to say, but we don't think is there
a chance there? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I know? Is He's like, I don't know how any
Catholic could vote Democrat?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Remember the campaign, Yeah, and listen, I mean, if you
want to break it down demo wise, as we predicted
before election day, I don't think there's any doubt he
won because of the Catholic vote. That's not trying to
say that only Catholics are responsible for his success, not
at all, but because if you don't have that base
turning out full throated, et cetera. It doesn't matter what
(04:07):
the Catholic vote is, but the point being the way
the elections shaped up, and whoever wins the Catholic vote
normally wins the election, and Biden had won the last
by five. If you believe the exit polls, taken with
a grain of salt, Trump looks like you want to
buy fifteen to seventeen This time around, and most critically,
it depends where the votes are.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You talk about the Upper Midwest and you talk about Pennsylvania,
you talk about Michigan, you talk about Wisconsin and Arizona
for that matter. So you know, Catholic vote delivered for
Trump as it should. He earned it. He earned it
in office. He did so much to protect religious liberty,
et cetera, and Biden quite the opposite. Can't even imagine
how many you know, his weaponization of the justice system,
(04:49):
how many Catholics are sitting in jail cells now? Like,
remember that Catholic father? Did we ever get him on
the show? I know we meant to Mark Koka, believe
the name is I'll double check, Catholic father of seven.
Biden administration sends twenty armed FBI agents to his door
to arrest him. I believe you protesting at an abortion
clinic and the jury took like a cup of coffee
(05:10):
to walk him, right, they walked him in what was
it an hour or two? And I think he's suing
now as he should. So yeah, so many examples each
and every day of the world moving in the right
direction simply because Trump was elected. So we can enjoy
that together, but we have more to talk about obviously
that the fallout from the pardon continues with a local twist.
(05:33):
And first of all, wants your take on who you
think is going to be parton next, but who you
think should be pardoned? Who do you think Biden should
pardon next? If anybody, who do you think you will?
But also who do you think Trump should not pardon?
Because it's just this is like the ultimate gift and
green light to Trump to go out and pardon whoever
the heck he wants. So who do you think those
(05:55):
people should be? Would love your take? Eight five to
five four zero five A two five five, takes DA
five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
All the Jan sixers who did not commit violent assaults.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I think it's a given you're going to see that, right.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Especially now after the hunter Biden for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, And as Andy McCarthy said, he joined us at
four oh six probably before also right, interesting word Andy used, schwashbuckling,
not a word we normally hear. I probably didn't even
pronounce it right, but he's right. But that you know,
Trump accurately perceived so many voters voted for him because
they see him as a swashbuckling figure is just going
(06:33):
to go out and do bold things that he said
he's going to do. And I think you have a
lot of Americans who will support many J six partons.
And listen, I understand on J six you had different
people doing different things, but I think there are an
awful lot of levels of activity on J six that
that people were prosecuted for that the public will support
(06:54):
partons for, because again you come back to the double standard,
and you cannot have a situation where you've got all
these people out during the so called George Floyd Riots,
you know, committing all of these crimes, burning down businesses,
attacking our state capital, doing all of these other illegal things,
not getting prosecuted at all, and then you know the
(07:17):
prosecutions on JA six, And listen, I stand by I
texted while it was happening, tweeted, and I stand by that.
You know that the people who truly went in there
committed violent offenses to disrupt government activities, they should be
fully prosecuted. But folks who did less but still whether
it's trespassing, et cetera, illegal things, I expect you're going
(07:37):
to see some mass pardons there and a lot of
public support for it. I think Trump pardons Biden if
Biden has not already pardoned Biden. Maybe I'm wrong on that.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Who else do you expect Trump to pardon? I would
expect Trump to pardon a bunch of the everyday people
sitting in jail cells now because Biden put them there
over their pro test at abortion clinics. Again, they'll have
to be an analysis of each and every situation, but
I think you're going to see a lot of pardons there.
Anybody else you want pardon while we're at it there, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I don't know if you need to go back in time,
but I think a couple of his supporters that were
sentenced to prison, like Steve Bannon. I don't know if
you could erase that in retrospect after the fact, But
I mean, the Biden weaponization of the DOJ was not
limited to just Donald Trump himself.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, yeah, so no, it just you know what Biden's done.
And again, what the Democrats are really freaked out about
is is they know the American people get The point
of the Biden pardon of Hunter is not that it
proves Biden a liar. Everybody already knew he was a liar.
The point is it proves him a crook. It proves
to most Americans that he's corrupt himself, because most Americans
(08:52):
understand the reason Hunter got this eleven year pardon what
was because Joe Biden's corrupt and Hunter Biden could roll
on Joe. That's what Americans see, or at least the
vast majority, that's what got. Has the Democrats freaked, and
of course it exposes them you whether you're talking about Polas, Bennett, Hickenlooper,
all of them exposes them as being intellectual, dishonest, hypocrites.
(09:17):
Same with the Democrat arm in the media, which is
most of the media. But it starts with yeah. It
just confirms for people that Biden himself was corrupt, which
obviously reflects very poorly on the Democratic Party because it
protected him, became kind of an accessory after the fact
is corruption, and that stink is going to stay for
(09:38):
a while. Eight five five or zero five A two
five five the number. I want to play a little
tune for you as we go into this break, just
because I think it's one of the coolest ever done.
Bing Crosby David Boie singing little Drummer Boy. I know
that's kind of random. It's Bowie, not Bowie. I'm joking. Yeah,
Ryan knows all things music.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well, the Bing Crosby part of this. This is fascinating
because he recorded this with David Bowie, I believe in
September nineteen seventy seven. He died the next month and
the Christmas special still aired with these two singing.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Man, I need to go on a game show with you.
We're like win millions.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Bing, No, you're gonna like this part? Well, yeah, they.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Told me you born king to seper our finest gifts.
Weep ring ber r.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
R r.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I canedy.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
The gars one now see perhaps well see.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Our Snaya.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's like the.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Talked a little too.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You're on the Dan couch and now back to the
Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I said, David Boie, guy, yeah, David Bowie, Yes, yes,
just like you said it. Yep, yep. Grew up in Chicago.
We have a different way of saying things.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
So you know all about sticks and the who, and
you've met the who. I know you've played pinball at
the Pinball.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Wizard on a Tommy Pinball Ship.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It's incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Actually said to him, who are you? Because I didn't
know it was Roger Daltrey that was kind of a
music nerd Oh yeah, who's your buddy on the couch? Pete, Yeah, hey, Pete,
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
He did not play He did not play pinball so
much going on. The reason we're talking about David Bowie
is going into the last break, I wanted to play
what I consider one of the greatest songs ever, and
then Ryan and I got to talking about is it
Bowie or Bowie, So we didn't get to play the
whole thing. So before we get into kind of the
meet and there's so much fun stuff and I want
to get to great text, let me just play this
(12:17):
song for you, just because it's cool and it's the season.
And it was Bing Crosby. And understand, you may not
know who Bing Crosby is, and he was before my
time too, but back in the day he was Yeah,
I wouldn't say he was Elvis, but he was right
up there. And also, by all accounts, a really good
guy and a pretty good stick too. And David Bowie
was known as more of an alternative rock type guy.
(12:37):
So when the two got together to do Little Drummer Boy,
it was kind of unifying and kind of ultimate cool.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Me you born king to see our finess get sweeping
rumble cannon.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
The guess long now perhaps well Sie war How good
(13:40):
is that? Yeah, we'll keep we'll play that on and
off during the season. So cool. But you can just
you can just google it up. Also in the video
it's pretty neat too. But uh, you know, my dad
told us great Bing Crosby story because my dad was
a caddy at the same course I was before mine.
We didn't carry at the same time, but Beverly Country
Club in Chicago, and my dad, you know, was a
(14:02):
really really good caddy and even caddied after he joined
the Chicago Police Force. He'd go out there on weekends
for extra money. But anyway, he's out there, and Bing Crosby,
you know, would play there occasional least so Bing Crosby
was playing there and he had a group together, and
my dad was not in that that forsome, but I'm
trying to remember I think my uncle was in any case,
(14:23):
they finished the eighteen and Crosby's caddy says, mister Crosby,
please don't give me any money, but my mom is
your biggest fan, and it'd be great if you could
stop by our apartment, and Bing Crosby says, son, you know,
I got this full schedule. I just don't know if
I could do that. So anyway, he tipped him. And
(14:44):
then you know this small apartment south side of Chicago,
summer night, you know, third floor, whatever the heck, it
was knock on the screen door and the family's having
dinner and there's Bing Crosby at the door to the
caddies home. That's awesome, isn't that cool?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Very cool?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, very very cool.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Good guy.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Died right after round of golf. Now and he was
what seventy something before or something like that. Yeah, he
got married at fifty seven. How old do you think
his wife was?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Twenty or thirty years younger?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Twenty four? I do it, yeah, you know, and I'd
really be curious how those marriages work out, how many
what spread is too big? Like Gamy and I were
nine years apart, I'm nine years older.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Than she is pretty standard, I think for the most part,
nine years. Yeah. Yeah, but he's Bing Crosby, so you know,
I think that gives him a few extra years in between,
being that he was a legend of the twentieth century.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, so you're saying that if I had more going
for me, my wife would be twenty seventy years younger.
I don't follow your mech I think cannot have a
better wife.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Than exactly you say, okay, yeah, very much.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
But the nine years. Yeah, and they just stop and
think about that a little bit. Like we were talking
about that with the kids. Somehow it came up over Thanksgiving.
But when I was a freshman at CU, she was nine.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
See. Yeah, but now right now it matters a whole
lot less, even though.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
None of that I would think, right, not at all. Yeah, yeah,
and when we met, it didn't matter. She was twenty
six and I was thirty five. Maybe, yeah, so that
at that point, yeah, that doesn't matter that. I do
wonder how some of the couples do, where like the
guy's of fossil and you know, the like I knew
(16:36):
this one couple. I won't mention any names because they're
I think well known, but you know, the guy was older,
the woman was younger, and they got married and she
had like a pole installed.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Okay, yeah, but you're talking like Anna Nicole Smith, that
level of ridiculousness where she married oil, a millionaire oil baron.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I'm never gonna love calling it is ridiculous. I'm just
wondering how it works out when the guys twenty or
two and you rarely see like the I think that
was like twenty five years younger than the woman.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Well no, but in the case of Tina Turner and
I think Cher and maybe even Martha Stewart, like some
of these well known celebrity females, Oh really, they are cougar's.
Absolutely yes.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What's the definition of a cougar?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Uh, in very general terms, an older woman who dates
younger men.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
But where does the term cougar?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I don't know. I just like it. I think most
people like it. It's cool.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I would imagine that you have probably been preyed upon
by many a cooper.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, oh wow, yeah, maybe yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
What do they call a guy in that situation?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I don't think it's cool when that happens that way.
Is there a name for hi creepy, the creepy old guy, creeper?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, that's the technical term.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
That's all that's going on in the world today. We've
got a ton of stuff, including local stuff for you,
and so much of it's spinning off of you know,
Joe Biden exposing all of these democrats, you know, when
when he openly acts against the above the law, but
very interesting cluster of Polists and Bennett another Coloraden's now
(18:23):
coming out and trying to be heroes when they're really cowards.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You know, it's funny because I'm not sure I could
tell you what I have interested, but I could tell
you every detail. It's frozen in my mind of playing
that Tommy pinball machine with Roger Daltrey, not knowing it
was Roger Daltrey, and I'd have to go back and
look at the your maybe it was seventy eight ish
or something. I'd have to double check and see when
they were at McNichols.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
But so jealous.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, no, it's you know, maybe more jealous if I
knew what it was. But who really was at the time.
I don't remember any of those detail else. Okay, just
remember it was a really cool guy, British accent. We
were just playing pinball, and probably the only reason he
stayed was because I didn't know who he was.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I think, Yeah, that's a comforting kind of reassuring thing
or not, like, oh my god, my favorite song is
how do Me grow?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Hey, man, you want to play some pinball?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's it, real simple.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, we're just at dinner and okay, it's yeah, texters, Uh,
Dan and Ryan, here's something fun to ponder. Will Trump,
with the assistance of his FBI director Kash Battell, approved
the release of Epstein's Black Book on day one. That
from Andy, I turned that into a reality show. You
probably retired the national debt?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Can you imagine the viewership for that.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
If you pitched it that way to Donald Trump? Guaranteed
he does it because he loved that. Here's a question
for you and listening. Hey, if that's pay per view,
I'm the first guy to put my credit card down.
But here's the question, could you, in all fairess do that?
Because I mean, this is hearsay. Okay, first, right, I
mean Epstein terrible criminal, worst kind of criminal, and he
(20:09):
writes this down in his book. Does that mean that
it's inherently reliable and that all of those names are true? Well,
we don't know necessarily why a person's name or number
would be in his Black Book. It might be for
another reason, it might not be for a nefarious reason,
like Epstein island. It could be, but it might not be.
So it's not automatically an indictment of that person. I
(20:32):
would agree with you that.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
And listen, the last thing I'd ever do is is
want to protect or defend anybody engaged in that kind
of horror. I'm just talking rationally and fairly, as did Epstein.
Put some names down there, people he hoped to attract,
that he hoped to be able to.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Ensnare, or that had nothing to do with it. He
just wanted their number down for another reason.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah. With that said, I'll be the first one to
put the card.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'll be number two of the pay per view.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Do you just see this thing that President Trump posted.
It's a beautiful, beautiful image. Did you see it of
him standing on this mountain range overlooking this other mountain
range with the Canadian flag planeted next to him.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Apparently the AI generated that mountain that you see in
that matter is the matter Horn, which is not can
of course. But what do you think the point of
the post is, Well, welcome to our fifty first state governor,
Justin Trudeau.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Okay, that's just classic Trump, right, Yeah, Oh, it's gonna
be so much fun.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
True comes all the way down to mar A Lago
to kiss the ring. They're talking about the tariffs and
whether or not they're going to be in Trudeaus that
we can't deal with the tariffs. Well, if you can't
deal with the tariffs, then maybe you should just be
the fifty first state. Yeah, and he's like half serious
about it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Oh, it's gonna be It is gonna be so much fun.
But if you weren't with us earlier, this great headline
on CNN, world leaders scrambled to flatter Trump. So there's
the fun part, and then there's a serious part. Yeah,
they're scrambling to flatter Trump. Never had a headline like
Biden about that. But but no, they're they're flat just
scrambling to flatter him because they want to please him, right,
(22:04):
which can only be good for you as an American
and can only be good for the world to have
that desire to please Trump. And they have that desire
to please Trump because they respect him and they fear
what he will do if they don't treat Trump and
America fairly. That's all positive right there. And then you've
got the fun part because he has this tremendous sense
(22:27):
of humor. Sometimes colors outside the lines, but normally just
a tremendous sense of humor. But the truth is, ryan everybody,
anybody kind enough to join us right now, anybody they've
ever known, with a tremendous sense of humor, sometimes colors
outside the lines. It's impossible not to if you're gonna
(22:47):
have a sense of humor. And do you think you'll
pardon the nuclear waste guru who stole the luggage filled
with dresses that from Mike and Henderson? No, No, not
going to see a pardon there. I've got to tell
you a big, big old US Supreme Court hearing tomorrow.
We'll have all the details for you and we'll be
(23:08):
able to read a lot into the questioning. Supreme Court
is hearing this case on whether a state can ban
puberty blockers hormone therapy for kids, and you know, quote
transgender kids is the context of this case, so should
be really interesting and I don't want to get too
far into the weeds, but it turns on this idea
(23:29):
of whether a law that says you cannot do that
can't be given that stuffed kids, a law I support,
by the way, but turns on whether a law like
that is classifying based on sex or not, because if
it's a classification based on sex, then it gets a
(23:51):
much stricter scrutiny. Have to basically show this overriding compelling
state interest because now you're classifying based on sex, that's
a protected class right Or does it not classify based
on sex? Does it classify based on age adults versus minors?
(24:14):
Does it classify based on purpose?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You know, for.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So called gender affirming care, which is one of the
most backward terms in human history, right, I'd love to
hear from people. You can text us on this as well.
DA n five seven seven thirty nine on the most
backward terms in human history gender affirming care. No, cutting
off a penis is not gender affirming care for a male.
(24:41):
Gender affirming care for a male is, hey, you're a male, right, yeah?
And then of course other care because there are some really,
really fine people who are very confused and struggling and
it's it's serious and it's meaningful and they need love
and care, but they don't need to have that the
(25:02):
state sanctioning having their organs cut off, particularly not kids,
little ones exactly, particularly not kids.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
But if you're going strictly dan By the biological definition,
it would be the opposite, it would be gender denying.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yes, yeah, that's why I'm saying it's a backwards term.
So what are some other backwards terms?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, yeah, but I'd love to hear from folks on that. Dana,
just on AD from Canada talked about how we have
always been allies. Have you ever seen a Canadian ad? Crazy? Fascinating,
But you know, Trump's mere thread of tariffs, it's going
to save so many American lives, jobs, jobs, Yeah, but
I mean it's a chemical weapons attack, this fentanyl stuff,
(25:45):
and he's going to be able to do so much
to limit that from both Mexico and Canada, and then
other bad stuff that comes with open borders. Uh, Dan,
do you think Okay, we got that one. Dan, let's
not kid ourselves. Trump was going to pardon anybody that
helps his own self interest, whether or not Biden pardoned Hunter.
(26:09):
The self interest piece. Explained to me how it's in
Trump's self interest to pardon J six people, which he's
going to do, right, I mean, and different people did
different things on J six, so you have I think
different qualifications for pardons there or not. But he's going
to pardon a whole lot of J six people, and
Biden just made it easier. But I'd love to talk
(26:30):
to the Texter and find out how he thinks that's
in Trump's own self interest now personal fulfillment level, since
obviously the President believes that so many people were treated
unfairly there. There were certainly a double standard for many
of the people there, right, because you had so much
criminal conduct committed by the left, and these riots and
attack in our state capital, et cetera, and leftist politicians
(26:53):
and prosecutors patted him on the head and sent him
on their way, sometimes with bail money, and so again
in some of these cases, you had that double standard.
But how would that be in Trump's own self interest? Yeah,
love to know that. And it goes to a broader point,
which is you've got some people, a lot of people,
I think, out there thinking that because Trump doesn't have
(27:15):
to run again, that he's just going to do anything
under the sun, no matter what the consequence is. I
think that's flawed thinking. I think Donald Trump made it
loud and clear in his selection of JD Vance that
he wants the movement to continue, and the movement cannot
continue unless they win unless you know, the win the
(27:37):
White House again in twenty eight. So I think you're
going to see the very best of President Trump in part,
you know, personal legacy. Everybody wants that. He's only human,
but beyond that, because he wants the movement he created
to continue and to win in twenty eight. And in
order to win in twenty eight, you have to be,
(27:59):
you know, very successful and popular. Now, Dan, I wonder
how many of the people Trump is going to deport
our Catholic And this goes back to a conversation we
had earlier, and I appreciate the question. I want to
tackle it after the breaker they'll fire all of us.
But earlier I was talking about how great it is
to now have an incoming president who actually respects Catholics,
(28:22):
unlike Joe Biden. And Trump shows that in so many
tangible ways, and he did in office. But he's going
to Notre Dame now for the reopening of that great cathedral,
traveling to France for it. What a brilliant move on
his part.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Two, And he.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Shows that respect for Catholicism and Catholics, and the Catholic
vote was very very good to him and the MAGA
movement's going to need it in the future as well.
But it's also this perfect geographical opportunity to put on
full display now his dominance among world leaders, other world
leaders who are going to be there. So another really
smart move by Trump. But when we come back, I'll
(28:57):
answer this fair question, how many of the people Trump
is going to deport? Our Catholic I think the answer
may surprise you. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. In Springfield,
they're eating the dogs, They're eating the cats.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
They're eating the pets of the people that live there.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
They're eating the dogs, They're eating the cats, They're eating
the pets of the people.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
That live there. The love songs to people love Springfield.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Please don't eat markets.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Why would you do that? Eat something else?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You love Springfield? Please don't eat my dog.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Here's a cat.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Look of other things to eat. They're eating the dogs.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Twenty seven year old Ohio residential lexis ferrel there thanks
to jail for one year for eating a cat.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Wait a minute, hold on the last day of feral
like a Farld cat. Come on, damn.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, Now, I have no idea of where she's from
or legal status or illegal that that's not the point.
I just wanted to make the point. Somebody sentenced to
jail for a year for eating a cat in front
of terrified neighbors at kid Oh my lord, and watching
that just awful. Remember driving down I twenty five one
(30:29):
day and the car in front of me, all of
a sudden, this cat gets thrown out the window, come
on through. Story so horrible. We went to the side
of the road, picked it up. It ended up, Yeah,
it ended up.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
This was years before I.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Met Amy, and uh and I was with another young
lady at the time, and sou her family ended up
raising the cat and we all became very good friends.
They became very close to Amy as well. And then ironically,
this wonderful cat, Mariah lived maybe another five or ten
years before tragically.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Sit by a car.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I'll come and I don't mean to just say and
talk about the circle of life.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
What was the cat injured at all in the throw
from the vehicle?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Look to be some PTSD maybe, but nothing nothing physical.
But I can still picture it. It's stretched out like
a dashed or something. Yeah, it just stretched out.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
I'm still haunted because you know, how people will have
their dogs in the back of pickup car.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Oh, I know, I worry about that pickup trucks.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
And so one day I was driving, I was by myself,
and literally the dog hopped out onto I twenty five
and went over to the side and speed.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Yeah, it rolled over a few times, and I was
totally ready to take it to the vet.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
And the whole thing, I.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Would like, a cat's chance is a lot better than
dog in that scenario, even though the one you described then,
I anticipate the cat used one of its nine lives.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, real good.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
The good news is that there were two really good
people who also stopped.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Were They're very fine people.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
They are very fine people. I can't do the Trump. Yeah,
you're the Trump. No, they were really good, and they
actually took the.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Dog to the vet.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
The vet ended up saving it and adopted it.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Nice. Yeah, just like this wonderful family.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The young lady I was with her family raised that
cat for five or ten years, and it was a
good cat. A little skittish, but a good cat. Dan,
I wonder how many of the people Trump is going
to deport our Catholic First of all, I would doubt
that many of the criminals that he's going to deport
our Catholic because that wouldn't be Catholic bavior. And you know,
(32:55):
I understand none of us are perfect, but bottom line
points very obvious, right, it doesn't matter. The law applies
to all of us, regardless of our faith. And so yeah,
I mean, and again, I think Trump has absolutely the
right idea, and it's going to make the country much
safer in a hurry, because he's going after the folks
(33:15):
here I legally who've committed other crimes, and the folks
here legally who a judge has already said has to go.
How can any reasonable person disagree with that? And so yeah,
But it goes back to an earlier conversation we were having,
how great it is to soon have a president who
respects Catholics, and Catholicism shouldn't be elevated over any other group,
(33:38):
but it certainly shouldn't. You know, We Catholic shouldn't be
discriminated against. And with Joe Biden, you had open animis
from his administration toward Catholics shown in a lot of
different ways. Dad, I wish I had bought some of
the original gold Trump shoes. I wonder how much those
are worth now in ten years from now. You know,
I have the greatest wife possible. But the only gift,
(34:00):
if she's ever denied me, was the Trump, the gold
Trump high tops.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
You asked for them, I did for like a birthday president.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I think it was Father's day.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Oh wow, Yeah, never got I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Carol and Lakewood, you're on the dan Kaplish welcome.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Oh man, this is Carol. I'm just calling him. This
is a sport thing. Okay, since you're so up on
the Avalanche. They're losing right now in the first period,
forward to nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Who's in gold?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Huh?
Speaker 7 (34:30):
They have? They've had five goalies. My husband said, in that.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Team, who's in gold tonight?
Speaker 7 (34:36):
I'm not sure? It's probably that Gorge or whatever them.
Not sure. I don't watch it. He's out there watching it.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
But the thing is they're not world champions anymore. Neither
neither the Nuggets or the Avalanche or not world champions.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Okay, Carol, don't give up on them. Please don't give
up on them, because you know there is so much
talent on both of those teams, and Champ being ship pedigree.
And as you know, Carol, all you really need to
do is get hot at the end. You know, home court,
home ice is kind of overrated. Just be healthy and
hot at the end. Huh. That may be the new
motto on the show. Ryan, great job, Thank you, Kelly.
(35:14):
Join us tomorrow.
This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Every day brings
more concrete evidence that this nation, this world right now
(00:21):
is at a very positive turning point because of the
election of Donald Trump. Does a guarantee the long term, No,
but it's an awfully could start. This CNN headline kind
of made my day popped up in the last hour
quote world leaders scramble to flatter Trump headline we never
once saw about Biden, right, but the point being obviously, yeah, Trump,
(00:43):
he represents strength. World leaders are afraid of him. They
want to make sure to please him and not displease him.
And guess what that can only be good for you
as an American and for the world. So and great
to see the President Trump is going off to the
rear opening of Notre Dame Cathedral in France, and hold.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
On, didn't Pope Francis decline an invitation to go there?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He did, But that could have been health. That could
have been health, It could have been logistics, it could
have been a lot of different things there, So I
don't read anything into that. Do you read something into that?
My friend? I've not been a fan of his, but
I've got to tell you this as a Catholic Christian
and just so grateful to have a president again who
(01:30):
respects Catholics and respects Catholicism, the opposite of Joe Biden.
So it is and Trump's not Catholic, but it is
so great to see that respect from him, and he
extends it in many different ways. You know, talk's kind
of cheap, but when it's the president, you still like
to see the talk. And so much of the talk
from Biden was the opposite. In Biden's actions horrific it
(01:54):
when it came to Catholics, when it came to religious liberty,
to lots of different things. I think Biden just did
so much damage there. But Trump has been so respectful
and again this trip to Notre Dame, that's a big
deal and I'm so glad to see him do that.
He's done other things as well. You know, after he
(02:15):
survived his assassination, the assassination attempt upon him, you know,
he published the prayer to Saint Michael and and in
Catholic churches, this is a prayer most Catholic congregations say
at the end of Mass. And I'm just telling you,
if you drop by, you will see this one. It's
like sometimes it's like you're at a game, you know,
it's so much louder and so much more intense. And
(02:37):
I understand why, because it's it's a battle. But Trump
published this prayer.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our
protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May
God rebuke him. We humbly pray and do thou, o,
Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God,
cast him to hell, Satan and all the evil spirits
(03:04):
who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, so great to see Trump publishing that. I mean
a lot of us, a lot of us Catholics anyway,
Like I say it, first thing in the morning. I've
got the Saint Michael's statue, you know, right there in
the bedroom, master bedroom, I've got it in the office.
It's just a big deal for Catholics. So it's great
that he published that. Great that he's going to Notre DAMEA.
Just a lot of things he's doing there are absolutely fantastic.
(03:33):
I wonder if we have a chance to recruit him.
What do you think think you can recruit him to
be a Catholic? Who's the wee kim Asabi? I know
you're going to say, but we don't think is there
a chance there? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I know? Is He's like, I don't know how any
Catholic could vote Democrat?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Remember the campaign, Yeah, and listen, I mean, if you
want to break it down demo wise, as we predicted
before election day, I don't think there's any doubt he
won because of the Catholic vote. That's not trying to
say that only Catholics are responsible for his success, not
at all, but because if you don't have that base
turning out full throated, et cetera. It doesn't matter what
(04:07):
the Catholic vote is, but the point being the way
the elections shaped up, and whoever wins the Catholic vote
normally wins the election, and Biden had won the last
by five. If you believe the exit polls, taken with
a grain of salt, Trump looks like you want to
buy fifteen to seventeen This time around, and most critically,
it depends where the votes are.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You talk about the Upper Midwest and you talk about Pennsylvania,
you talk about Michigan, you talk about Wisconsin and Arizona
for that matter. So you know, Catholic vote delivered for
Trump as it should. He earned it. He earned it
in office. He did so much to protect religious liberty,
et cetera, and Biden quite the opposite. Can't even imagine
how many you know, his weaponization of the justice system,
(04:49):
how many Catholics are sitting in jail cells now? Like,
remember that Catholic father? Did we ever get him on
the show? I know we meant to Mark Koka, believe
the name is I'll double check, Catholic father of seven.
Biden administration sends twenty armed FBI agents to his door
to arrest him. I believe you protesting at an abortion
clinic and the jury took like a cup of coffee
(05:10):
to walk him, right, they walked him in what was
it an hour or two? And I think he's suing
now as he should. So yeah, so many examples each
and every day of the world moving in the right
direction simply because Trump was elected. So we can enjoy
that together, but we have more to talk about obviously
that the fallout from the pardon continues with a local twist.
(05:33):
And first of all, wants your take on who you
think is going to be parton next, but who you
think should be pardoned? Who do you think Biden should
pardon next? If anybody, who do you think you will?
But also who do you think Trump should not pardon?
Because it's just this is like the ultimate gift and
green light to Trump to go out and pardon whoever
the heck he wants. So who do you think those
(05:55):
people should be? Would love your take? Eight five to
five four zero five A two five five, takes DA
five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
All the Jan sixers who did not commit violent assaults.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I think it's a given you're going to see that, right.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Especially now after the hunter Biden for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, And as Andy McCarthy said, he joined us at
four oh six probably before also right, interesting word Andy used, schwashbuckling,
not a word we normally hear. I probably didn't even
pronounce it right, but he's right. But that you know,
Trump accurately perceived so many voters voted for him because
they see him as a swashbuckling figure is just going
(06:33):
to go out and do bold things that he said
he's going to do. And I think you have a
lot of Americans who will support many J six partons.
And listen, I understand on J six you had different
people doing different things, but I think there are an
awful lot of levels of activity on J six that
that people were prosecuted for that the public will support
(06:54):
partons for, because again you come back to the double standard,
and you cannot have a situation where you've got all
these people out during the so called George Floyd Riots,
you know, committing all of these crimes, burning down businesses,
attacking our state capital, doing all of these other illegal things,
not getting prosecuted at all, and then you know the
(07:17):
prosecutions on JA six, And listen, I stand by I
texted while it was happening, tweeted, and I stand by that.
You know that the people who truly went in there
committed violent offenses to disrupt government activities, they should be
fully prosecuted. But folks who did less but still whether
it's trespassing, et cetera, illegal things, I expect you're going
(07:37):
to see some mass pardons there and a lot of
public support for it. I think Trump pardons Biden if
Biden has not already pardoned Biden. Maybe I'm wrong on that.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Who else do you expect Trump to pardon? I would
expect Trump to pardon a bunch of the everyday people
sitting in jail cells now because Biden put them there
over their pro test at abortion clinics. Again, they'll have
to be an analysis of each and every situation, but
I think you're going to see a lot of pardons there.
Anybody else you want pardon while we're at it there, Ryan.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I don't know if you need to go back in time,
but I think a couple of his supporters that were
sentenced to prison, like Steve Bannon. I don't know if
you could erase that in retrospect after the fact, But
I mean, the Biden weaponization of the DOJ was not
limited to just Donald Trump himself.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, yeah, so no, it just you know what Biden's done.
And again, what the Democrats are really freaked out about
is is they know the American people get The point
of the Biden pardon of Hunter is not that it
proves Biden a liar. Everybody already knew he was a liar.
The point is it proves him a crook. It proves
to most Americans that he's corrupt himself, because most Americans
(08:52):
understand the reason Hunter got this eleven year pardon what
was because Joe Biden's corrupt and Hunter Biden could roll
on Joe. That's what Americans see, or at least the
vast majority, that's what got. Has the Democrats freaked, and
of course it exposes them you whether you're talking about Polas, Bennett, Hickenlooper,
all of them exposes them as being intellectual, dishonest, hypocrites.
(09:17):
Same with the Democrat arm in the media, which is
most of the media. But it starts with yeah. It
just confirms for people that Biden himself was corrupt, which
obviously reflects very poorly on the Democratic Party because it
protected him, became kind of an accessory after the fact
is corruption, and that stink is going to stay for
(09:38):
a while. Eight five five or zero five A two
five five the number. I want to play a little
tune for you as we go into this break, just
because I think it's one of the coolest ever done.
Bing Crosby David Boie singing little Drummer Boy. I know
that's kind of random. It's Bowie, not Bowie. I'm joking. Yeah,
Ryan knows all things music.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well, the Bing Crosby part of this. This is fascinating
because he recorded this with David Bowie, I believe in
September nineteen seventy seven. He died the next month and
the Christmas special still aired with these two singing.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Man, I need to go on a game show with you.
We're like win millions.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Bing, No, you're gonna like this part? Well, yeah, they.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Told me you born king to seper our finest gifts.
Weep ring ber r.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
R r.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I canedy.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
The gars one now see perhaps well see.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Our Snaya.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's like the.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Talked a little too.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You're on the Dan couch and now back to the
Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I said, David Boie, guy, yeah, David Bowie, Yes, yes,
just like you said it. Yep, yep. Grew up in Chicago.
We have a different way of saying things.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
So you know all about sticks and the who, and
you've met the who. I know you've played pinball at
the Pinball.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Wizard on a Tommy Pinball Ship.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It's incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Actually said to him, who are you? Because I didn't
know it was Roger Daltrey that was kind of a
music nerd Oh yeah, who's your buddy on the couch? Pete, Yeah, hey, Pete,
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
He did not play He did not play pinball so
much going on. The reason we're talking about David Bowie
is going into the last break, I wanted to play
what I consider one of the greatest songs ever, and
then Ryan and I got to talking about is it
Bowie or Bowie, So we didn't get to play the
whole thing. So before we get into kind of the
meet and there's so much fun stuff and I want
to get to great text, let me just play this
(12:17):
song for you, just because it's cool and it's the season.
And it was Bing Crosby. And understand, you may not
know who Bing Crosby is, and he was before my
time too, but back in the day he was Yeah,
I wouldn't say he was Elvis, but he was right
up there. And also, by all accounts, a really good
guy and a pretty good stick too. And David Bowie
was known as more of an alternative rock type guy.
(12:37):
So when the two got together to do Little Drummer Boy,
it was kind of unifying and kind of ultimate cool.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Me you born king to see our finess get sweeping
rumble cannon.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
The guess long now perhaps well Sie war How good
(13:40):
is that? Yeah, we'll keep we'll play that on and
off during the season. So cool. But you can just
you can just google it up. Also in the video
it's pretty neat too. But uh, you know, my dad
told us great Bing Crosby story because my dad was
a caddy at the same course I was before mine.
We didn't carry at the same time, but Beverly Country
Club in Chicago, and my dad, you know, was a
(14:02):
really really good caddy and even caddied after he joined
the Chicago Police Force. He'd go out there on weekends
for extra money. But anyway, he's out there, and Bing Crosby,
you know, would play there occasional least so Bing Crosby
was playing there and he had a group together, and
my dad was not in that that forsome, but I'm
trying to remember I think my uncle was in any case,
(14:23):
they finished the eighteen and Crosby's caddy says, mister Crosby,
please don't give me any money, but my mom is
your biggest fan, and it'd be great if you could
stop by our apartment, and Bing Crosby says, son, you know,
I got this full schedule. I just don't know if
I could do that. So anyway, he tipped him. And
(14:44):
then you know this small apartment south side of Chicago,
summer night, you know, third floor, whatever the heck, it
was knock on the screen door and the family's having
dinner and there's Bing Crosby at the door to the
caddies home. That's awesome, isn't that cool?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Very cool?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, very very cool.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Good guy.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Died right after round of golf. Now and he was
what seventy something before or something like that. Yeah, he
got married at fifty seven. How old do you think
his wife was?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Twenty or thirty years younger?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Twenty four? I do it, yeah, you know, and I'd
really be curious how those marriages work out, how many
what spread is too big? Like Gamy and I were
nine years apart, I'm nine years older.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Than she is pretty standard, I think for the most part,
nine years. Yeah. Yeah, but he's Bing Crosby, so you know,
I think that gives him a few extra years in between,
being that he was a legend of the twentieth century.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, so you're saying that if I had more going
for me, my wife would be twenty seventy years younger.
I don't follow your mech I think cannot have a
better wife.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Than exactly you say, okay, yeah, very much.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
But the nine years. Yeah, and they just stop and
think about that a little bit. Like we were talking
about that with the kids. Somehow it came up over Thanksgiving.
But when I was a freshman at CU, she was nine.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
See. Yeah, but now right now it matters a whole
lot less, even though.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
None of that I would think, right, not at all. Yeah, yeah,
and when we met, it didn't matter. She was twenty
six and I was thirty five. Maybe, yeah, so that
at that point, yeah, that doesn't matter that. I do
wonder how some of the couples do, where like the
guy's of fossil and you know, the like I knew
(16:36):
this one couple. I won't mention any names because they're
I think well known, but you know, the guy was older,
the woman was younger, and they got married and she
had like a pole installed.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Okay, yeah, but you're talking like Anna Nicole Smith, that
level of ridiculousness where she married oil, a millionaire oil baron.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I'm never gonna love calling it is ridiculous. I'm just
wondering how it works out when the guys twenty or
two and you rarely see like the I think that
was like twenty five years younger than the woman.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Well no, but in the case of Tina Turner and
I think Cher and maybe even Martha Stewart, like some
of these well known celebrity females, Oh really, they are cougar's.
Absolutely yes.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What's the definition of a cougar?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Uh, in very general terms, an older woman who dates
younger men.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
But where does the term cougar?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I don't know. I just like it. I think most
people like it. It's cool.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I would imagine that you have probably been preyed upon
by many a cooper.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, oh wow, yeah, maybe yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
What do they call a guy in that situation?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I don't think it's cool when that happens that way.
Is there a name for hi creepy, the creepy old guy, creeper?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, that's the technical term.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
That's all that's going on in the world today. We've
got a ton of stuff, including local stuff for you,
and so much of it's spinning off of you know,
Joe Biden exposing all of these democrats, you know, when
when he openly acts against the above the law, but
very interesting cluster of Polists and Bennett another Coloraden's now
(18:23):
coming out and trying to be heroes when they're really cowards.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You know, it's funny because I'm not sure I could
tell you what I have interested, but I could tell
you every detail. It's frozen in my mind of playing
that Tommy pinball machine with Roger Daltrey, not knowing it
was Roger Daltrey, and I'd have to go back and
look at the your maybe it was seventy eight ish
or something. I'd have to double check and see when
they were at McNichols.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
But so jealous.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, no, it's you know, maybe more jealous if I
knew what it was. But who really was at the time.
I don't remember any of those detail else. Okay, just
remember it was a really cool guy, British accent. We
were just playing pinball, and probably the only reason he
stayed was because I didn't know who he was.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I think, Yeah, that's a comforting kind of reassuring thing
or not, like, oh my god, my favorite song is
how do Me grow?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Hey, man, you want to play some pinball?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's it, real simple.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, we're just at dinner and okay, it's yeah, texters, Uh,
Dan and Ryan, here's something fun to ponder. Will Trump,
with the assistance of his FBI director Kash Battell, approved
the release of Epstein's Black Book on day one. That
from Andy, I turned that into a reality show. You
probably retired the national debt?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Can you imagine the viewership for that.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
If you pitched it that way to Donald Trump? Guaranteed
he does it because he loved that. Here's a question
for you and listening. Hey, if that's pay per view,
I'm the first guy to put my credit card down.
But here's the question, could you, in all fairess do that?
Because I mean, this is hearsay. Okay, first, right, I
mean Epstein terrible criminal, worst kind of criminal, and he
(20:09):
writes this down in his book. Does that mean that
it's inherently reliable and that all of those names are true? Well,
we don't know necessarily why a person's name or number
would be in his Black Book. It might be for
another reason, it might not be for a nefarious reason,
like Epstein island. It could be, but it might not be.
So it's not automatically an indictment of that person. I
(20:32):
would agree with you that.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
And listen, the last thing I'd ever do is is
want to protect or defend anybody engaged in that kind
of horror. I'm just talking rationally and fairly, as did Epstein.
Put some names down there, people he hoped to attract,
that he hoped to be able to.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Ensnare, or that had nothing to do with it. He
just wanted their number down for another reason.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah. With that said, I'll be the first one to
put the card.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'll be number two of the pay per view.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Do you just see this thing that President Trump posted.
It's a beautiful, beautiful image. Did you see it of
him standing on this mountain range overlooking this other mountain
range with the Canadian flag planeted next to him.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Apparently the AI generated that mountain that you see in
that matter is the matter Horn, which is not can
of course. But what do you think the point of
the post is, Well, welcome to our fifty first state governor,
Justin Trudeau.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Okay, that's just classic Trump, right, Yeah, Oh, it's gonna
be so much fun.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
True comes all the way down to mar A Lago
to kiss the ring. They're talking about the tariffs and
whether or not they're going to be in Trudeaus that
we can't deal with the tariffs. Well, if you can't
deal with the tariffs, then maybe you should just be
the fifty first state. Yeah, and he's like half serious
about it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Oh, it's gonna be It is gonna be so much fun.
But if you weren't with us earlier, this great headline
on CNN, world leaders scrambled to flatter Trump. So there's
the fun part, and then there's a serious part. Yeah,
they're scrambling to flatter Trump. Never had a headline like
Biden about that. But but no, they're they're flat just
scrambling to flatter him because they want to please him, right,
(22:04):
which can only be good for you as an American
and can only be good for the world to have
that desire to please Trump. And they have that desire
to please Trump because they respect him and they fear
what he will do if they don't treat Trump and
America fairly. That's all positive right there. And then you've
got the fun part because he has this tremendous sense
(22:27):
of humor. Sometimes colors outside the lines, but normally just
a tremendous sense of humor. But the truth is, ryan everybody,
anybody kind enough to join us right now, anybody they've
ever known, with a tremendous sense of humor, sometimes colors
outside the lines. It's impossible not to if you're gonna
(22:47):
have a sense of humor. And do you think you'll
pardon the nuclear waste guru who stole the luggage filled
with dresses that from Mike and Henderson? No, No, not
going to see a pardon there. I've got to tell
you a big, big old US Supreme Court hearing tomorrow.
We'll have all the details for you and we'll be
(23:08):
able to read a lot into the questioning. Supreme Court
is hearing this case on whether a state can ban
puberty blockers hormone therapy for kids, and you know, quote
transgender kids is the context of this case, so should
be really interesting and I don't want to get too
far into the weeds, but it turns on this idea
(23:29):
of whether a law that says you cannot do that
can't be given that stuffed kids, a law I support,
by the way, but turns on whether a law like
that is classifying based on sex or not, because if
it's a classification based on sex, then it gets a
(23:51):
much stricter scrutiny. Have to basically show this overriding compelling
state interest because now you're classifying based on sex, that's
a protected class right Or does it not classify based
on sex? Does it classify based on age adults versus minors?
(24:14):
Does it classify based on purpose?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You know, for.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So called gender affirming care, which is one of the
most backward terms in human history, right, I'd love to
hear from people. You can text us on this as well.
DA n five seven seven thirty nine on the most
backward terms in human history gender affirming care. No, cutting
off a penis is not gender affirming care for a male.
(24:41):
Gender affirming care for a male is, hey, you're a male, right, yeah?
And then of course other care because there are some really,
really fine people who are very confused and struggling and
it's it's serious and it's meaningful and they need love
and care, but they don't need to have that the
(25:02):
state sanctioning having their organs cut off, particularly not kids,
little ones exactly, particularly not kids.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
But if you're going strictly dan By the biological definition,
it would be the opposite, it would be gender denying.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yes, yeah, that's why I'm saying it's a backwards term.
So what are some other backwards terms?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, yeah, but I'd love to hear from folks on that. Dana,
just on AD from Canada talked about how we have
always been allies. Have you ever seen a Canadian ad? Crazy? Fascinating,
But you know, Trump's mere thread of tariffs, it's going
to save so many American lives, jobs, jobs, Yeah, but
I mean it's a chemical weapons attack, this fentanyl stuff,
(25:45):
and he's going to be able to do so much
to limit that from both Mexico and Canada, and then
other bad stuff that comes with open borders. Uh, Dan,
do you think Okay, we got that one. Dan, let's
not kid ourselves. Trump was going to pardon anybody that
helps his own self interest, whether or not Biden pardoned Hunter.
(26:09):
The self interest piece. Explained to me how it's in
Trump's self interest to pardon J six people, which he's
going to do, right, I mean, and different people did
different things on J six, so you have I think
different qualifications for pardons there or not. But he's going
to pardon a whole lot of J six people, and
Biden just made it easier. But I'd love to talk
(26:30):
to the Texter and find out how he thinks that's
in Trump's own self interest now personal fulfillment level, since
obviously the President believes that so many people were treated
unfairly there. There were certainly a double standard for many
of the people there, right, because you had so much
criminal conduct committed by the left, and these riots and
attack in our state capital, et cetera, and leftist politicians
(26:53):
and prosecutors patted him on the head and sent him
on their way, sometimes with bail money, and so again
in some of these cases, you had that double standard.
But how would that be in Trump's own self interest? Yeah,
love to know that. And it goes to a broader point,
which is you've got some people, a lot of people,
I think, out there thinking that because Trump doesn't have
(27:15):
to run again, that he's just going to do anything
under the sun, no matter what the consequence is. I
think that's flawed thinking. I think Donald Trump made it
loud and clear in his selection of JD Vance that
he wants the movement to continue, and the movement cannot
continue unless they win unless you know, the win the
(27:37):
White House again in twenty eight. So I think you're
going to see the very best of President Trump in part,
you know, personal legacy. Everybody wants that. He's only human,
but beyond that, because he wants the movement he created
to continue and to win in twenty eight. And in
order to win in twenty eight, you have to be,
(27:59):
you know, very successful and popular. Now, Dan, I wonder
how many of the people Trump is going to deport
our Catholic And this goes back to a conversation we
had earlier, and I appreciate the question. I want to
tackle it after the breaker they'll fire all of us.
But earlier I was talking about how great it is
to now have an incoming president who actually respects Catholics,
(28:22):
unlike Joe Biden. And Trump shows that in so many
tangible ways, and he did in office. But he's going
to Notre Dame now for the reopening of that great cathedral,
traveling to France for it. What a brilliant move on
his part.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Two, And he.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Shows that respect for Catholicism and Catholics, and the Catholic
vote was very very good to him and the MAGA
movement's going to need it in the future as well.
But it's also this perfect geographical opportunity to put on
full display now his dominance among world leaders, other world
leaders who are going to be there. So another really
smart move by Trump. But when we come back, I'll
(28:57):
answer this fair question, how many of the people Trump
is going to deport? Our Catholic I think the answer
may surprise you. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. In Springfield,
they're eating the dogs, They're eating the cats.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
They're eating the pets of the people that live there.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
They're eating the dogs, They're eating the cats, They're eating
the pets of the people.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
That live there. The love songs to people love Springfield.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Please don't eat markets.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Why would you do that? Eat something else?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You love Springfield? Please don't eat my dog.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Here's a cat.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Look of other things to eat. They're eating the dogs.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Twenty seven year old Ohio residential lexis ferrel there thanks
to jail for one year for eating a cat.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Wait a minute, hold on the last day of feral
like a Farld cat. Come on, damn.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, Now, I have no idea of where she's from
or legal status or illegal that that's not the point.
I just wanted to make the point. Somebody sentenced to
jail for a year for eating a cat in front
of terrified neighbors at kid Oh my lord, and watching
that just awful. Remember driving down I twenty five one
(30:29):
day and the car in front of me, all of
a sudden, this cat gets thrown out the window, come
on through. Story so horrible. We went to the side
of the road, picked it up. It ended up, Yeah,
it ended up.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
This was years before I.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Met Amy, and uh and I was with another young
lady at the time, and sou her family ended up
raising the cat and we all became very good friends.
They became very close to Amy as well. And then ironically,
this wonderful cat, Mariah lived maybe another five or ten
years before tragically.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Sit by a car.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I'll come and I don't mean to just say and
talk about the circle of life.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
What was the cat injured at all in the throw
from the vehicle?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Look to be some PTSD maybe, but nothing nothing physical.
But I can still picture it. It's stretched out like
a dashed or something. Yeah, it just stretched out.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
I'm still haunted because you know, how people will have
their dogs in the back of pickup car.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Oh, I know, I worry about that pickup trucks.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
And so one day I was driving, I was by myself,
and literally the dog hopped out onto I twenty five
and went over to the side and speed.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Yeah, it rolled over a few times, and I was
totally ready to take it to the vet.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
And the whole thing, I.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Would like, a cat's chance is a lot better than
dog in that scenario, even though the one you described then,
I anticipate the cat used one of its nine lives.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, real good.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
The good news is that there were two really good
people who also stopped.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Were They're very fine people.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
They are very fine people. I can't do the Trump. Yeah,
you're the Trump. No, they were really good, and they
actually took the.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Dog to the vet.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
The vet ended up saving it and adopted it.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Nice. Yeah, just like this wonderful family.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The young lady I was with her family raised that
cat for five or ten years, and it was a
good cat. A little skittish, but a good cat. Dan,
I wonder how many of the people Trump is going
to deport our Catholic First of all, I would doubt
that many of the criminals that he's going to deport
our Catholic because that wouldn't be Catholic bavior. And you know,
(32:55):
I understand none of us are perfect, but bottom line
points very obvious, right, it doesn't matter. The law applies
to all of us, regardless of our faith. And so yeah,
I mean, and again, I think Trump has absolutely the
right idea, and it's going to make the country much
safer in a hurry, because he's going after the folks
(33:15):
here I legally who've committed other crimes, and the folks
here legally who a judge has already said has to go.
How can any reasonable person disagree with that? And so yeah,
But it goes back to an earlier conversation we were having,
how great it is to soon have a president who
respects Catholics, and Catholicism shouldn't be elevated over any other group,
(33:38):
but it certainly shouldn't. You know, We Catholic shouldn't be
discriminated against. And with Joe Biden, you had open animis
from his administration toward Catholics shown in a lot of
different ways. Dad, I wish I had bought some of
the original gold Trump shoes. I wonder how much those
are worth now in ten years from now. You know,
I have the greatest wife possible. But the only gift,
(34:00):
if she's ever denied me, was the Trump, the gold
Trump high tops.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
You asked for them, I did for like a birthday president.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I think it was Father's day.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Oh wow, Yeah, never got I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Carol and Lakewood, you're on the dan Kaplish welcome.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Oh man, this is Carol. I'm just calling him. This
is a sport thing. Okay, since you're so up on
the Avalanche. They're losing right now in the first period,
forward to nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Who's in gold?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Huh?
Speaker 7 (34:30):
They have? They've had five goalies. My husband said, in that.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Team, who's in gold tonight?
Speaker 7 (34:36):
I'm not sure? It's probably that Gorge or whatever them.
Not sure. I don't watch it. He's out there watching it.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
But the thing is they're not world champions anymore. Neither
neither the Nuggets or the Avalanche or not world champions.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Okay, Carol, don't give up on them. Please don't give
up on them, because you know there is so much
talent on both of those teams, and Champ being ship pedigree.
And as you know, Carol, all you really need to
do is get hot at the end. You know, home court,
home ice is kind of overrated. Just be healthy and
hot at the end. Huh. That may be the new
motto on the show. Ryan, great job, Thank you, Kelly.
