Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas somewhere
not here. Glad you are three oh three seven one
three eight two five five the number text d A
N five seven seven three nine.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
What what are your tricks right now? What are your
mental tricks for just making it feel like Christmas? Jesse
and I were talking about it. Ryan has a well
deserved week off, as he often does. But Jesse Thomas
doing the show today.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
And was it?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Have we confirmed or not confirmed whether that was Ryan
Shuling who got punched by the Pittsburgh Steeler at.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
That line, And since then, old DK Metcalf who did
the punching, has been suspended two full games. Oh really yeah,
I'm getting they'll probably appeal that and it'll get down
to one game. But yeah, that was It didn't look
like Ryan, but maybe a relative well.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Because the guy was wearing some kind of wig. That
the guy who was an end listen that the guy
who was John at the player from what we can tell,
have you heard that video? I heard what purported to
be the video. He was just calling DK Metcalf by
his full legal name, which wasn't long interesting. I thought,
kind of cool name.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, you're right, and DK apparently took offense to that. Yeah, yeah,
but yeah, you can't. Well, he's going to learn a
valuable lesson. I think it's going to cost them two
hundred and ninety two thousand dollars per game.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
And hurts his team. I really, I'm glad the league
drew a bright line there though. Yeah, you just literally
you can't cross the line. Yeah, and there's you know,
most fans are going to be fine. There's always going
to be that knucklehead in every crowd and you just
can't allow that precedent. But how do you get like
into the Christmas spirit with weather like this Because we

(01:40):
talked about it a while back, and Amy and I
talked about, Hey, would we ever want to spend Christmas
here there some warm weather place? And it's always been no, no, no, no.
One year when my mom was dying, we went back
to Florida and we spent Christmas there obviously to have
that time with her, and we're glad we did. But
we would never just choose to be somewhere warm for Christmas.
But we're going to be this year. It's going to

(02:01):
be about seventy degrees on Christmas. So what do you
do to make it feel more like Christmas. Three or
three seven one three eight two five five takes da
N five seven seven three nine. Hey, thank you to
everybody who filled in last week. Really appreciate it. That
was kind of spontaneous that week off last week. But
I'm sure you're the same way, and that is when

(02:23):
you have a chance to spend some time with the kids,
you just gotta grab it. And for us, I have
the blessing of working with our daughter, who's a brilliant
young legal mind. We get to work together every day.
And our son's at law school and so he's back Easton.
We almost never see him because he's working so hard
and he's so busy at school. But he had this

(02:43):
week during break last week, so I just said, you
know what the blank and fortunately thanks to Sheriff Reems
and Christy Burton Brown and Heidi Ganoll and George Brockler
for taking care of the week and just had this
great week with our son. And those times, you know,
they're just everything. Three or three someone three eight two

(03:03):
five five takes d A N five seven seven three
nine Jesse. It ended with us. Our little adventure ended
in Oxford, Mississippi, on Saturday night we went to that
college football playoff game. Joe is an old miss undergrad, yeah, alum,
and so we went back and what an amazing scene.
But back there, Oxford, Mississippi, December twenty first, it's what

(03:28):
six seven o'clock local time by the time the game ended,
and everybody's still in shirt sleeves. It was absolutely beautiful.
And so I look forward to the day our Colorado
teams are in the college football playoffs.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
It might be a little bit, but yeah, I'm with you.
I'll make the trip. But if they ever make it, yeah,
one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
So anyway, obviously wide open this afternoon. This is kind
of an odd week for talk radio. You know, it
used to be, hey, this this week, whatever week Christmas
was in, they didn't even do shows, right because at
that point, who's listening to talk radio? And then society
changed with there's just such an intensity now the twenty
four to seven news cycle, such an intensity to our politics.

(04:10):
Important things are happening every day. So yeah, we got
some serious stuff to talk about as well. What I'd
like to lead with on the serious side, because it's
so fresh and different, I've never seen anything like it.
In my decades on air, is that the governor of
the state of Colorado has decided to go to war
with the president of the United States so that the

(04:32):
governor can keep a seventy year old woman in jail.
I mean, it's really a remarkable scenario. I want to
get you the latest on that, gets your take on
how and where this ends, if you're not familiar with
the story, if you're new to Colorado. We had a
clerk and recorder in Mason County named Tina Peters, and

(04:52):
Tina Peters was with a group of folks and it's
a large group of folks who believe the twenty twenty
election was stolen. And so Tina Peters was accused criminally
of giving unauthorized access to voting machines. I'm kind of
given the down and dirty, simplified version here to someone
who was obviously not authorized to be there and accused

(05:14):
of using a false credential somebody else's credential to accomplish that,
accused of turning off videotape in order to execute this maneuver, etc.
So she was criminally charged and convicted, and then the
court sentenced her to nine years and then Governor Poulos
has come under a lot of pressure, understandably, you know,

(05:36):
to release her, to commute that sentence, not to partner,
but to commute the sentence. Appeals are pending, including there's
been a run at Habeas Corpus with the federal court saying, hey,
you've you've got to let me out of jail because
my federal constitutional rights are being violated, and they're the court,
very respected Magistrate Judge acknowledged that there are fair and

(05:57):
serious questions as to whether Peters is being punished in
part through the sentence for protected First Amendment speech, but
the federal court said, hey, I can't look at this
by law until after the state appellate court rules on
these issues. So that's where it all stands. But bottom
line is poul Is, who I think clearly should at

(06:17):
this point commute the sentence and let this seventy year
old out of prison, is refusing to and as a result,
as predicted on this show and was not a tough prediction,
the President of the United States is punishing Colorado in
lots of different ways, and so that's where we find
ourselves today. Would love to get your take, what's going

(06:38):
to happen, what should happen, how and when do you
think this ends? Three or three someone three eight two
five five takes DN five seven seven three nine, and
just a quick context on that. From everything I've seen
so far, I believe that Tina Peters was properly charged
and properly convicted. I personally don't have any issue with

(07:01):
the charging decision or the jury convicting her, etc. I
think that pollis by the standard he has set. Police
actively and deliberately set this standard of the governor intervening
in order to dramatically reduce prison time. And he set
that standard in the case of the mass killer trucker

(07:24):
and I seventy remember that the trucker who knew he
knew his brakes weren't working, he knew they were overheating.
He was standing outside the truck looking at it. He
called his employer. The employer said, don't get back in.
This is according to the published reports. He decided to
get back in. Then he decided to drive eighty to

(07:47):
ninety miles an hour past a runaway truck ramp, not
use the runaway truck ramp. Trucker made decision after decision
after decision that he knew or had to know, was
likely to get somebody killed. And then the very last decision,
he's got no brakes. He's heading into rush hour traffic
in the Metro and he decides not to drive off
into the ditch on the side of the road, but
to drive into the back of stop traffic, incinerating four

(08:11):
of our fellow citizens. Yeah, Polis set the precedent when
he decided there there was a one hundred and ten
year sentence handed down under Colorado law mandatory minimums because
the jury convicted on multiple homicide charges and that was
not a tough conviction and they had not a tough
decision to reach for that jury one hundred and ten

(08:33):
year sentence. And then the judge agreed to reconsider the sentence.
The victims were lining up behind a twenty five to
thirty year range in the sentence. And then Polis took
it all away. He set the precedent, He stepped in,
He took it away from the court. When the court
was going to rule within the next two weeks, they

(08:54):
were going to have that sentencing hearing, within the next
two weeks, the court was going to adjust the sentence.
Polis took it away from the judge arbitrarily gave the
mass killer ten years, which means he'd be out in five.
So Polis set that precedent. Why did he do it?
Because Kim Kardashian whispered in his ear, that's the president
he set. So Polis was willing to essentially spit on

(09:18):
the graves of those who were burned to death, and
to double middle finger all of their family members, and
we've got some sound of the zoom they had together.
Poulis was willing to do all of that for what
to make Kim Kardashian happy. Now he's got this seventy
year old who didn't kill anybody. She committed a crime,

(09:42):
rightfully charged, rightfully convicted, but as far as I've been
able to tell, it's a victimless crime, certainly not a
violent crime. But he's willing to have Colorado severely punished,
including economically, by the president, just to keep this seventy
year old in jail. Love your take on this? What

(10:03):
do you think is driving Polis? How do you think
it ends? And what do you think President Trump's next
steps are? Three or three seveone three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
You're on the Dan Capitlas Show. I think maybe if
I just listen to Christmas Carol's NonStop, I mean the
real ones, maybe then it'll help push out all this
warm weather and feel just like Christmas. Let's go to

(10:25):
the phone lines. We'll start with David. You're on the
Dan Capitlis Show. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Yes, Dan, not really on the subject that you mentioned,
but I just go way back. I just want to say,
it's just Christmas time. Your significant other. I just remember
her on the news.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
She was just.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Terrific, and I just want to say you are such
a gift to the state of Colorado, and thank god
we have you. I love listening to you and Harry
Christmas and just what a gift you are. Just I
just want to mention.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
That, David, You've just made my year. I mean, well,
I am going to bring that tape home and play
it for my wife. But thank you, sir, really do
appreciate it. Great Christmas, I sure you, thank.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
You, Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
What a kind person. Thank you to David for that
three or three seven one three eight two five five
text d A N five seven seven three nine. I
guarantee you we'll get to a text or two that
would disagree with that, but sure appreciate it. Let's talk
to rich Richards. You're on the Dan Kaplas. She'll welcome.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Hi.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Thank you for exposing the governor's guilt in this PROPS
process with Tina Peters. But one of the things that
I've found very disgusting in the whole situation was Tina
was trying to expose the use of voting machines that

(12:00):
were made to be manipulated for voter fraud. And that
seems to have not been spoken of too much. And
that was really the reason that Tina Peters had that
person with the reasoning to thinking that he could help

(12:22):
expose the use of those machines that had been proven
to be fraudulent usage.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
And Richard, I don't believe that that motive would and
I think it's very clear that motive would not constitute
a legal defense here. Was there no other way if
she believed that access to the software of the machine,
the hardware and the machine, etc. Would confirm her belief
about all that, weren't there other ways for her to

(12:51):
accomplish that.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Well, I'm sure that's true, but I just want to
give her some credit for actually doing something that my
have been, you know, a valuable tool to think about
how some of these machines have been used sort of illegally.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
They've been proven to be manipulative.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Hey, Richard very much appreciate the call. I respectfully disagree
with Richard. I don't think there's any justification here for
the crime that she committed, just as there's no justification
for police keeping her in jail now under the standard
that Polist set. And I like the word Richard used,
the guilt of Governor Polis, because there is profound guilt

(13:37):
here on the part of Polis. And this goes back
to when Polis decided to dramatically slash the sentence of
the mass killing Trucker. Because at that point, what Polist
did and what he's so guilty of, is he undermined
the entire criminal justice system, the structure, the way it

(13:58):
normally works. He set that precedent, and we talked about
it at the time because when you're going to do that, Okay,
there's been a Democrat prosecutor out in Jefferson County. You'll
hear more about that in a second. And there's been
a judge and jury that's worked very hard on the case,
and the jury heard all the evidence and convicted of
all of these homicide charges for obvious reasons that the

(14:21):
trucker was guilty. These were conscious decisions he made, not
a conscious decision, oh, I want to go kill that person,
but a series of conscious decisions to do things he
knew were likely to put a lot of people in serious,
imminent danger of death, and he decided to do those things.
That's why the jury convicted so quickly. And then the

(14:43):
judge sentenced according to Colorado law, and the judge had
a re sentencing hearing set and Polis took it away
from the court. So Polis is guilty of undermining that
the criminal justice system in Colorado. It's what I call
criminal obstruction of justice. So police didn't commit a crime

(15:04):
that you could prosecute him for, you know, under the statutes.
But what he did was he clearly obstructed justice and
set this precedent. So now that Polus has set this precedent,
how can he possibly justify keeping Tina Peters in jail.
On the one hand, you have a trucker who deliberately

(15:25):
engaged in this conduct. He had to know was was
likely to kill, he burned alive for Colorado's caused mass
destruction on the highway, and police cuts his sentence by
ninety percent, So the guy's going to be out in
five years. Police cuts his sentence to the roughly the

(15:46):
equivalent of Tina petersentence. Tina Peters committed a crime properly
charged and convicted, but there were no victims that I
know of, and it certainly wasn't a violent crime. So
under the standard police himself set, how can he possibly
justify keeping her in prison, even if in jail, even
if nobody at this point was calling for her release.

(16:09):
But then you get to this scenario where, like in
the case of the mass killing trucker, Kim Kardashian had
made him a cause, and so you had all these
people signing a petition to let him out. There are
a lot of people supporting Tina Peters getting out, including
the President of the United States. But here, while Polus

(16:30):
insults the victims, undermines justice in Colorado by doing what
he did for the killer trucker just to please Kim Kardashian.
Here he's at war with the President of the United States,
who has the ability to hurt Colorado in lots of
different ways, monetarily and otherwise, and to do all of
that legally, and Polis has decided to go to war

(16:52):
with the President of the United States and to cause
because Polis knows he's now causing Colorado to be hurt
in lots of different way ways, and we'll get into
some of the most recent that occurred over the last
few days. Polis has decided to incur all of this
harm in Colorado, to keep a seventy year old woman
in jail, no prior offenses, a crime that didn't hurt anybody,

(17:19):
after doing what he did for the killer trucker. How
can he possibly justify that or rationalize that. If you
think there's a good argument Polis could make, please come
on the show. He has not tried to make that
argument himself, I think because it doesn't exist. When we
come back, we'll talk about some of the more recent
ways that Colorado is now paying the price for Polis

(17:43):
insisting on keeping Tina Peters in jail and not giving
Tina Peters the same consideration he gave to the killer
trucker who burned four of our fellow citizens alive. How
do you explain that three seven two five five text
DA and five seven seven three nine. Also some pretty

(18:04):
dramatic sound from JD Vance staking his claim to the
nomination over the weekend. See if you agree or disagree
with what he had to say and how he did it,
you're on the dan say. That's another way to get
in the Christmas spirit. When it's seventy degrees out, Let's
just play Peanuts Christmas now. We'll play a lot of
that sound tomorrow. Also, thank you to Jesse Thomas filling
in today for Ryan, who's well deserved time off with

(18:27):
his family for Christmas. Hey, we got a few different
things going on. We're talking about something none of us
in Colorado have ever seen before, the governor deciding to
go to war with the city US President, so the
governor can justify keeping a prisoner in jail, a prisoner
the president wants released, and so Colorado already paying a

(18:48):
price for that. And President Trump, as far as I've
been able to tell over the years, is is not
one to just give up the fight and go home.
So we can expect that there will be more and
more and more price to be paid because Polis insists
on keeping Tina Peters in jail three or three seven, one,
three eight, two five five the number techs d an

(19:10):
five seven seven three nine, When and how do you
think that will end? And the reason I put it
in the terms of Polis determined to keep Tina Peters
in jail I documented in the last couple of segments,
and I won't repeat here. It goes back to the
standard and the process Polis himself has set in Colorado
of dramatically slashing sentences where it's politically advantageous for him,

(19:37):
And so here I guess he doesn't think it's politically
advantageous for him to save Colorado from the immense amount
of pain it's experiencing and will continue to experience. Coloradin's
that is not Polis, but Coloradin's themselves, because he's deciding
to pursue this war with the president. If he had not,

(19:57):
if Polis had not decided that he was going to
set this precedent of stepping in to dramatically slash the
sentence of the mass killing trucker in order to make
Kim Kardashian happy, then we'd be having a different conversation here.
But Polis is the one who decided to make that

(20:18):
the standard and the process in Colorado. So once he
does that, how does he justify now all of this
financial and other pain for Colorado's so he can keep
Peter's in jail When in my view, though Peters is
guilty and properly charged and convicted, it was a victimless crime,
it wasn't violent and compared to the killer Trucker. How

(20:43):
do you justify slashing the killer Trucker sentence over ninety
percent and not reducing peter sentence. I mean, there's just
to me, it's something police cannot justify. But I want
to play some sound from him. And what's the latest
we have from Jared Polis and this? Oh yeah, Polus
telling KUSA that Tina Peter should get the same treatment

(21:07):
as other prisoners.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Be done to ensure that the state employees and the
inmates of La Vista Correctional Facility are safe.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
Well, first of all, I condemn all violence or any
threats of violence that anybody's engaged with in regard to this.

Speaker 6 (21:20):
Democratic Governor Jared Polis spoke with nine News for the
first time since President Trump signed a pardon for Tina Peters,
a pardon that does not erase the state charges that
keep her serving her nearly nine year prison sentence. Have
you done anything specifically to that prison hearing threats of
force or violence?

Speaker 7 (21:37):
So, our Department of Public Safety monitors online threats. Our
prisons are secured by their very nature. It's not easy
to break in or break out at our prisons.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
Has your administration ever negotiated with the Trump administration to
trade Tina Peters for something you want?

Speaker 7 (21:50):
Well, these are requests that would come from us. We
do have eleven inmates in federal detention because we've requested it,
and usually the reason is they're a danger in the facility.

Speaker 6 (22:01):
While a legitimate request to transfer an inmate from state
to federal custody would come from the state. That was
not my question. Have you negotiated with the Trump administration
for anything regarding Tina Peters or have you been a no.
She is never leaving state prison from the start?

Speaker 7 (22:15):
Well, I've seen all the stuff they've they've put out,
of course, but I understand that there's you know, people
that are fans of hers.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
And still no yes or no. Speaking of fans of Peters,
we requested emails sent to Polus about Peter's in prison.
Out of two hundred and eighty six pages of emails,
a little more than half call for police to keep
Peters in custody, some one her released and are threatening,
like the email that alludes to the FBI taking out Polus.
Could be a deer that runs out in front of

(22:42):
your kid while they're driving, or a blowout. Either way
it will look natural. And then there's the one from
a prison in Fort Worth, supposedly from the Tiger King
himself swap Tina Peters's freedom for mine. Joe Exotic Polis
did name a scenario where Peters could get out if
she's dying.

Speaker 7 (22:59):
If she is very sick, or she has cancer or
anything like that. We would look at him and letting
her out on mercy, as we would do that for
any inmate. As far as I know, She's perfectly healthy.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
And oh wow, I did.

Speaker 7 (23:10):
Have cancer in the past. There's many other inmates who
have too.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
For next work, rhy Marshall's house here, we're breaking news here.
So I guess the mass killing trucker Rohell Aguilera Maderos,
who police cut his sentence from one hundred and ten
years to ten he must have been seriously ill and
that just never made the news stories, right, he must
have been dying. That's why police slashed his sentence. Oh yeah,

(23:36):
why didn't he just say so? Because everybody on the
face of the earth believes it's because Kim Kardashian whispered
in Polis's ear. Think about that, And that's one of
the truly maddening things about Polis. He could have been
so much more. You know, he's an intelligent guy, great parents,
successful parents, all the financial resources in the world. So

(24:00):
and obviously he's bought his way into a lot of
different offices in Colorado. But he could have been so
much more if he had just been a person of
you know, driven by strong convictions causes. He really believed
in Hills, he was willing to fight and die on
out of principle. A guy because he's blessed with a

(24:21):
lot of intelligence, et cetera. He could have been a
guy who would just stand up, have the guts to
just stand up and say, okay, no, let's have the conversation,
let's have the great debate. Here's why I'm right and
you're wrong. But instead he became this He just became
this political blob who just lies at the drop of
a hat. Like that stuff you just heard there. Oh yes,

(24:44):
you can get out, or she's seriously old treator like
every other prisoner, when clearly that's false. Clearly he set
the precedent of stepping in and obstructing, interfering with with
the normal workings of the criminal justice system, you know,
for political reasons. He set that precedent with the killer trucker.

(25:08):
He wasn't even trying to hide it. Yeah, So it's
just sad. I mean, it's just sad. What a waste,
what a waste of potential there. And listen, I understand
he and I were always going to disagree on most
things ideologically, or let me put it this way, and
this is part of the sadness with him, is I
think in reality he and I agree on a lot,

(25:32):
probably including abortion as well. But like so many Democrat
power brokers and officeholders, they know abortion is just fundamentally
wrong in every way, and they know that abortion on
demand is a policy that cannot be justified. This insanity,
this monstrosity of worshiping legalized abortion of the moment of delivery,

(25:57):
as Polis and Bennett and Hickenlooper and the rest of do.
That's just monstrous and they know it, and they know it,
but they choose to back something they know is monstrous,
and not only to back it, to advance it, to
expand it, all as a trade off for them to
get and keep political power. I mean, how sad is that?
I mean, it's a lot more sad for the kids

(26:18):
who are being killed, but it's so sad they would
reduce themselves to that. And why do I think that
about Polus? I can't know that. He doesn't have the
guts to come on the show anymore, so we can't
have the conversation. I can't know that, but there are
some pretty strong hints, like when he blurted out on
CNN and I'll go back and get the tap, so
I get the verbatim right, But something the effect of

(26:41):
abortion is wrong. And I remember when he did that, Jesse.
I went out and I was going to buy billboards
and quote him, and I went to the big billboard
company and yeah, let's say they did not have an
appetite for it. But yeah, so I would bet deep down,

(27:03):
we'll never know, but I would bet deep down he
and I probably agree on abortion. Deep down, I'm very
confident we agree on true school choice. Vouchers, and that
it's an absolute sin and a crime that all of
these kids, middle income, lower income kids, including disproportionately kids
of color, are being robbed of true econ, that true

(27:26):
opportunity to compete in education because the Democratic Party decides
to bend the knee for the teachers Union, which doesn't
want the competition that would come with true school choice,
and so these kids are all deprived of the secret
sauce of America in many ways, which is healthy competition.
But the kids don't get that education because you know,

(27:49):
Polish in the left don't want to cross the teachers Union.
So I bet he agrees with me on that. But
how sad in the end to live a life where
you just decide to become this political blob he is,
rather than use everything you've been gifted with and all
your skills and talents to stand up and fight for
what you truly believe in and fight for what's truly right.

(28:09):
And maybe that all sounds naive, but yeah, I just
think that is so sad. What will he have to
show for it at the end of these eight years
as governor? Yeah, what will he have to show for that?
What does Michael Bennett have to show for what? Has
he been in Senate for fifty years?

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Now?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
What does Bennett have to show for that?

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:28):
People kiss your behind and call you governor or senator.
You're willing to trade your life for that? Yeah, that's
pretty sad three all three seOne three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine
when we come back, a guy who will take a
stand and speak plainly, Jay d Vance, do you agree
with what he had to say? You're on the Dan
Kaplis Show. That's what I'm talking about, though there are

(28:52):
better versions out there. Who's his version, Jesse?

Speaker 4 (28:55):
This is from the Drifters, the Drifters in a home alone.
That's how I know it.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Oh, I see, okay, I was thinking more like Bing
Crosby maybe, but ort but now as Bing Crosby and
David Bouyu did Drummer Boy, right, Oh my yepes.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
So we're going to try to play a lot of
Christmas carols just to try to get over this seventy
degree weather out there. By the way, if you're in
the Denver metro Yeah, tomorrow sixty four, Christmas Eve, sixty seven,
Christmas Day looks like it's going to hit seventy Holy cow,
and there's no big cool off in site Sunday down
to forty four. But come on, yeah, three all three

(29:31):
someone three eight two five five text d A N
five seven seven three nine. I want to get in
some of this. JD vance sound is keynote dress at
turning point, obviously just implicitly staking his claim to the nomination,
very plain spoken, very direct, even more so than staking
a claim to the nomination would be staking a claim

(29:54):
as the MAGA successor. And so I want to play
some of Jdvan's sound and get your take on this.

Speaker 8 (30:02):
More than any time I can recount, people are talking
about American identity and figuring out what it is that
unites us. But I want to say something here. The
only thing that is truly served as an anchor of
the United States of America is that we have been,
and by the grace of God, we always will be,

(30:24):
a Christian nation. Now, I want to be explicit, because
of course the fake news media will twist everything that
I say.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I'm not saying.

Speaker 8 (30:36):
You feel about them the same way I do. I'm
not saying you have to be a Christian to be
an American I'm saying something simpler and truer. Christianity is
America's creed, the shared moral language. From the Revolution to
the Civil War and beyond. Across that history are country's

(30:57):
major debates have always centered on how could best as
a people?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Please God, God Love Your take on that? Three oh
three seven one three A two five five the number
text d an five seven seven three nine. It comes
back to a related point I make often on air,
and I know it scares the left in Colorado to death,
and that is if people just voted their faith, whatever
their faith is, if they just voted their faith, the

(31:24):
left would be done in Colorado. And that doesn't mean
a Catholic like me voting for Catholics, because you have
plenty of Catholics running as Democrats for office who will
take the power you give them and then use it
to do the exact opposite of what the church teaches
in terms of respect for life, et cetera. But I'm
just talking about people voted for candidates who are going

(31:46):
to use that power they give them to go out
and act in the way that people believe consistent with
people's faith and their beliefs. At that point, the left's toasts.
That's why police came out the day after he was
elected governor the first time and said, we have to
keep religion out of the public square because he knows

(32:07):
that if people just vote their faith. At that point,
the left in Colorado and nationwide is toast and again,
no matter what their faith may be. Three oh three
seven one three eight two five five the number text
d an five seven seven three nine more from JD.
Vance at this turning point speech.

Speaker 8 (32:28):
Unlike the left, we stand against treating anybody and I
love what Nikki said about this. We don't treat anybody
different because of their race or their sex. So we
have relegated DEI to the dustbin of history, which is
exactly where it belongs. In the United States of America.

(32:48):
You don't have to apologize for being white anymore. And
if you're an Asian, you don't have to talk around
your skin color when you're applying for college, because we
judge people well based on who they are, not on
ethnicity and things they can't control. We don't persecute you
for being male, for being straight, for being gay, for

(33:10):
being anything. The only thing that we demand is that
you be a great American patriot. And if you're that,
you're very much on our team.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
You know, it really is remarkable. I mean, you go
back to doctor King, and one would think there'd be
universal agreement with what doctor King had to say, judge
people by content of character, not color of skin. And
then the idea that this modern Democratic Party, what would
become so obsessed with skin color and work so hard

(33:43):
to try to tribalize us based on something as random
and meaningless as our skin color. I mean, it's truly evil.
It is absent to me, it's absolutely evil for anybody
to ever treat anybody differently, or view them differently, or
judge them differently based on their skin color. But for
a political party to then make that a centerpiece of

(34:05):
their political strategy, to divide people according to race, to
treat people differently according to race. What could be more
random or meaningless than your race? Yeah, but that is
what this And I guess I shouldn't say Modern Democratic
Party unless we use that facetiously, because it really is

(34:26):
a throwback in so many ways, you know, to really cruel, evil,
awful ideas that have never worked in the course of
human history. And it's so different than so many everyday Democrats.
What do you think it'll take for the everyday democrat
to start realizing that you're on the Dan Kapla Show.
