at three oh three seven one three eight two five
(00:20):
five the number text d A and five seven seven
three nine. How nice to see a nice warm Halloween
right because Colorado we have this history. The weather's beautiful,
then you get Halloween and bam, the little kids get frostbite.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
But not this year.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So we will have some Halloween wisdom, trigger treating tips,
best worst areas, age, how old? These too old? Have
an interesting story on that, and then the best and
worst things that people give. And I don't know how
much thought you give to what you're going to give
on Halloween or your own Halloween strategy. Is there a
(00:58):
time when you just cut it off and when you
just say, Okay, I'm going to stay up till X
then I'm turning the lights off and I'm going to bed.
Or do you just keep giving the stuff out until
people stop coming now, this being a Friday night Halloween.
I was pretty stunned last night when Amy and I
were reviewing the inventory of full sized bars for trick
(01:20):
or treaters. And so I go through a couple of
bulls and I say, hey, this is awesome. Yeah, great, great,
this great work. And I said, Okay, where are the others?
She said, what others? So where are the others? It's
a Friday night.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Uh huh, it's a Friday night.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Now this may be a male female thing, Ryan, because
I can remember as a little kid, I mean, we
would gear for I think it truly as a little kid,
I only had one Friday Night trick or treat and
one Saturday trick or treat because you're only a little
kid so long, and then it's another seven years until
it comes around again. But Friday night trick or treats first,
(01:58):
you're going to get a lot more of the teenager action.
And that'll probably come later. But the little kids who
are on their game, they've been planning this out Friday night,
they get to stay up a little later. Maybe they
you know, cycle back again in different packs later on,
do a double dip. So no, we scrambled and got
a lot more bars.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
From My Stranger Things Youth of the eighties as a
gen xter. I remember my friend Eric Olmley and I
we made a map of our entire neighborhood and we
identify all of you, kind of like the capitalist family
manor where you got the best candy, and we put
like a green check mark on there. And then we
knew the houses that would give away, you know, pennies
and stuff, we put like an X on that. We
(02:37):
had a plan going in. You're right, and especially with
a Friday night Halloween, Dan, this is golden for all
the kiddos out there.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
For a lot of these kids, it's the only Friday
Night Halloween they'll ever have, right, correct do the math.
So let's say you have a kid who's seven tonight,
this will probably be the only one he ever has.
Oh yeah, right, I mean it's well, you got that.
It's like that, you know, when's the last time you
(03:04):
played with your friends and you didn't even know, You
didn't even know it would be your last time. Yeah,
the last time all the kids got together and went
to the alley to play baseball, and you had no
idea it would be the last last time yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
You had me cut up that package, and I was
watching it with great interest about when.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Is it too old to be trick or treating anymore?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And you and I were talking about this, and I
feel even more resolute today than I did back then.
Kid wants to go trick or treating well into high school.
Better they be doing that than something else, going to
a drunk party or something.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Let them trick or treat.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And don't cut it off at high school. I mean, sure,
what logical reason is there to say that I couldn't
go out and trick or treat tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I would pay good money to watch that.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, you don't have to pay anything.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Are you dressing up?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You know?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I would have to pull out one of those costumes
you got one in waiting, well, one of the recent ones.
So either Zoro or Trump or something.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, well, well, how would Amy feel about you dressing
up as Trump?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, there are other costumes that probably won't see the street.
But three al three someone three eight two five five
da and five seven seven three nine. Glad you're here,
so we'll do all the trick or treat stuff fire
at will. I still want to hear from people on
who should take this prime morning spot on six point
(04:23):
thirty KHW and Denver. We're privileged to have this show
carried there along with other Ihart stations. But that's a
big job and a big market on a great station
six to ten am. Obviously, I say, having no authority
in such matters, if Ryan Shuling wants that slot, it's
going to be Ryan Shuling slot, because who could be better?
But you are not a morning person, right or have
(04:45):
you rethought that?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I mean, you know, in a professional sense, I would
do whatever it takes. I am more wired to the
shift that I have right now, if I'm speaking right
from the heart, and I love the shift that I
do and what I'm able to do. The two is
the Dan Caplis pregame show every day including today, working
with you, running the show with you, I'm kind of
gotten into those bio rhythms. So when I talked about
(05:09):
it with I did talk about it with Michael Brown
when he was first inserted into that morning spot from
the two to four one that I had occupied him
that before me Leland Conway occupied, and he kind of
hinted at it saying, hey, it's a total lifestyle change,
and it is, and I would go to you know,
taking myself out of the equation and conversation for me,
(05:31):
I think it would be a strong move based on
familiarity with our audience in both directions. If Leland Conway
came back and did the six to ten because he
knows this market, he lives not far away in Colorado Springs,
He's been on this station before.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He's a great guy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
He's got today that's no for you, dog.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Well, I'm just saying I'm taking myself out of it
because you know you can't what do you always say this?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You can't be on your own jury, right.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
A man can't sit on his own jury or a.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Woman, right.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
But with Leeland, and I'll just sell him for a second.
You know he's got that boundless energy and you've got
to fill four hours solo. I don't even know how
Brown did it, but he's got a lot of stories
to tell. I just think Leland would have the octane
level required for that time of day, for that many hours,
and again the audience knows and likes him.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That would be my thought.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You want to hear about octane requirements, octaneal requirements. Okay, yeah,
this text leads into it this person wants you to
take over my show, Ryan Kale and Keroai powers it
be what a great show. Ryan needs to be on
k How from two to six let's see he's currently on.
Oh yeah, that's me and Dan Kaplo should take brown
(06:46):
Spot from six to ten exciting times. Patty Petty is wonderful,
by the way, and I am a morning guy. Yeah,
I mean to me, eight in the morning is like lunchtime.
The thing is, I'm not doing four hours of radio,
and that's a lot not going to happen. But you
want to talk about octane. I used to do four
hours a day with.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Craig, but that's the first three or four years of
the show, and that was.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Wonderful radio, and Craig was great to work with. But
four hours a day of banging heads, that was Yeah,
Sack goes under.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You knew it by the end. So yeah, I just
not do it for.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I ask you just theoretically though, with your schedule and
of course the law firm everything that goes down with it.
Could you do a six to ten A? Could you
do a six to eight A? Would there be any
kind of morning formula that would work for you? Or
do you prefer doing the late afternoon the four dest No,
I hate that that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It all work, and I've done mornings before. The great
thing is from day one with this station, and this
goes back how many years now, almost thirty, the understanding
has been law firm comes first, and if I need
to miss, I miss, and they have always been great
about that, including this recent trial. I was off how.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Long seven weeks? Seven weeks?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Talking about that with broccoler and Reims. No. Station management
has always been great about that.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I have I've stopped in the middle of a sentence
on air when something came up in the law practice
that I needed to attend to. So management has been
great about that forever. For me, it's just yeah, mornings,
love mornings. Just don't want to do four hours. No, well, okay,
don't want.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
To do for us. That's the disqualifier, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Right, right, because there's just so much going on right now,
and hey, every minute's a privilege on air and I've
felt that way from day one till now. But don't
want to do four hours.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Dan and Ryan.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I would love for Leland to take over Brownie Show.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Leland's remarkable and there is just so much talent out there. Yeah,
Brockler wasn't DA. George is imagined great people. Ever, I'm
guessing that Sheriff Reems couldn't do it, right. He's about
to be elected county commissional. That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
My thought on that would be he can't do a
show like that during a campaign. But it seems to
me once you've been elected to the office. I mean,
George is the DA in the twenty third, he fills
in for you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Reems is the.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Elected sheriff of Weld County, but that election's not happening
in real time, so he's filled in for you, right,
So once you are in the office, you can do it.
So he's gonna be commissioner. He's not running against anybody
in Weld County. Yeah, it's a thought, but he's so
far away.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, and both those guys they're going to make sure
they do whatever they have to do to nail that
first job, so correct. Yeah, Dan, I would love for
Leland to take over Brownie's show. Another vote for Leland,
and then of course you never know who's just going
to come out of the blue. And that's one of
the really exciting things about talk radio. It is a
pure meritocracy. If one Gale or one guy can come
(09:37):
on air and be better than the next Galer guy,
they're going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
On air somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Costume suggestions, Dan, wear Rockies hat in Jersey, people will
give you extra candy out of pity. Yeah, or they
may boo you and slam the door.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Actually I'm wearing right now, Dan, you might have noticed.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm in black.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Head to tow shirt, pants, shoes, and also wearing a
Rockies hat because you know, they've had some tough times
right now, some Rockies fan kind of in the morning,
but we're looking to some new blood that's an inspiring
maybe next year inspiring. So I'm representing.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Hey, a few quick notes on other things on the.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Show today that the latest on you know, the shutdown
and the pending snap benefit cutoff, though it's going to
be funded in part by a court order. And for
I want to get into this deeply. A Colorado school
turning down. Turning Point USA says they cannot be on campus.
(10:33):
It's a student organization. I will guarantee you this and
then we'll get into the story. If Turning Point USA
wants to be there, they will be on campus, and
I hope they want to be there. You're on the
Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Best and Worst Areas to trick or treat? How old
is too old? Best or worst things people give? And
anything else on your mind? Three all, three, seven, one, three, eight, two, five,
five the number costumes. I mean, it's probably a little
late for the great costume suggestion. Dan, Happy forty second
anniversary of passing the bar exam from Alexa. Thank you, Alexa,
and thank you for remembering. Yeah, we were remembering. We
(11:17):
were sworning on Halloween. Oh yeah, Halloween. Remember the eighty
three and one.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
She apparently charged the time by the anniversary.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
You're a lot of graazy that way, just to he
has steel trapped mind, Yeah, Dan, If a court can
rule that SNAP benefits have to be paid, can a
court rule the Congress people can't be paid during the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's it's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
This court ruling, by the way, is that Trump administration
has to use funds from a contingency fund, an emergency
food fund five billion dollars worth, which won't cover.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
A month of SNAP benefits. But that is the.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Extent of the Court's jurisdictionary. Let me reel that back in,
because in the order today there was a suggestion that
the Court might consider ordering the Trump administration to use
other specific funds as well to continue to fund SNAP.
You can bet that there would be a challenge to
that and we would see what would happen at the
(12:12):
higher levels there. So Dan maybe had Jared Polis for
the Morning show. What a wonderful way to start each
day with the dose of socialism, and it really is
interesting to see how different democrats package that. But once
Mom Donnie wins, you're going to have a whole lot
of a whole lot of these Colorado Democrats come much
further out of the commedi closet than they have so far,
(12:35):
and just they won't be able to help themselves and
they'll be even more open about it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Real quick on that topic, Dan, I had Tricia Calvaretsy
live in studio on my program today and she's one
of the few Democrats.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
She was alive. Well, that could have been accurred. Why
do people say live in studio. When you say the studio,
there's an assumption, No, Dan Anon, let me you can
pre record an interview in studio, and I've done that
many times and really recent in the studio.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Okay, I'm not gonna quib.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, sometimes they can only make it during a certain
time anyway, uh she When asked, she answered a lot
of questions, including about Lauren Bolbert. She's in the fourth
congressional district Democrat running. I asked her point blank about Zoronmandanni,
and it was as if I presented her with a
radioactive fissier material that she wanted nothing to do with you.
I'm not talking about New York City, I'm talking about
(13:23):
this district.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And I'm like, Okay, she's not a COMI I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I have so many No, she and I disagree completely
politically right. I wouldn't be able to vote for her
because her abortion positions, things like that, but enjoy the
time with her. But you've got so many of these
prominent Democrat lefties with real power who on their best day,
they're socialist right and a bunch of murn out of
the closet yet true right.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
They used different names for it and everything else.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But but once mom Donnie wins, yes, some will still
be able to help themselves, but a.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Lot won't interesting lot won't.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
When when I say closet, I mean commy clauset. I'm
not talking about jender or any of that other stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Further to that point, Tricia, with the exception, the glaring
exception of the life issue with you, I would say,
based on my conversations with her, she's the type of
Democrat that basically no longer exists. I made the comparison
of her to John Fetterman. But why you, at one
time were a Democrat. You could have been more in
line with somebody like her, like John Kennedy, like Harry Truman,
(14:24):
like John Fetterman. And but that type of democrat is
just a endangered species now.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And that's kind of like saying, but you know, except
for that slavery issue, if it weren't for slavery, Yeah,
right right. Some stuff's fundamental, But they're going to be
a dying breed in Colorado. They're not. John Kennedy right
now would not be welcome in the JFK correct, would
not be welcome in the Colorado Democratic Party, wouldn't even
be close. He'd be thrown out just for the way
(14:49):
he ended his inaugural address. Right, may God's work on
Earth truly be our own.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeh, he's out.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They probably sue them, gone, sue them, tape them to
the goalposts somewhere, But now they wouldn't do that because
they're a post of football. Dan. It's so ironic that Kamala, JB.
Pritsker and other Dems are now screaming that children won't
have food when Snap runs out. Annoying little glitch in
the system will make quick work of that. But they
also thought to be able to abort babies up to birds.
(15:18):
Obviously they don't care about those children. God does. There's
virtually no intellectual honesty left in the Democrat Party, and
you see it right now, and they shut down the thing.
You see it in everything. We don't talk about it
that much on air because it's such a given. It's
a party that has.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Separated itself from the truth.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And I think that's part of the Democratic Party, which
I used to be a member of, separating from God
the Democrat. And there are many, many deeply faithful Democrats
people who vote Democrats, don't get me wrong, But the
party itself has become so secular, so separated from truth.
It's just a given.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
The challenge is there are a lot of people who
still vot Democrat who don't realize that yet. They just
don't like politics. They've tuned it out. They vote out
of habit. They don't like the Republicans. Yeah, but over
time that's eroding and more and more people are seeing
what they become. That's why the coming mom Donnie Win
is going to be so great for America as a whole,
(16:19):
because people it's going to cut through the noise for
some people who haven't realized yet what the modern Democratic
Party is really all about. Oh what else? Do we
have a couple of texts. Matt Dunn, He's the one
still is a big backbone following Dan. I like Matt
Dunn to take it. We're talking about who will get
that prize six to ten am time slot in Denver
(16:41):
and six thirty kitsch a w since Michael Brown will
be moving over to Koa. Dan not sure if Ryan
wants it, but I vote for him George next. So yeah,
we'll keep taking that. Some more costume suggestions.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Stan.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
In years past, parents would spend a couple of weeks
planning their kids costume. Then everyone was just walking around
and where oats?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
All right, this is a really nice Thanksgiving day.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Great point there, full chance to show off the costumes. Amazing.
How many people are now coming up with these really
creative costumes for their dogs. So the effort's still there.
Maybe it's just been transferred to our canine friends, Dan.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Halloween comes on a Friday every six to eleven years.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Due to leap years. Wow, thank you for that. My
earlier point reinforced and magnified. That is I was telling
Amy yesterday, we've got to go out and double up
on the AMMO, which she did today. Worked really hard,
not easy to track down all those full sized bars,
but at least two to three times the number of
trick or treaters we normally see, among many other things
(17:43):
we do when we come back, including there's a lot
of chatter now about whether an alien spacecraft has been
identified flying toward the Sun. I don't buy it, but
you're getting some prominent people who are making a.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Scientific case on that figure.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Halloween is a good time to get that nonsense out there.
But we will play that piece on how old it
is too old to trick or treat? My very serious
proposition is there is no such age, and how did
we ever get to this bizarre place where people think
there is an age cutoff for those who trick or treat.
You're on the Dan Capla show.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Oh that if you're planning on trick or treating in Bathhurst,
New Brunswick, Canada and you're sixteen years old, you were
breaking the law. It's true. Same in Chesapeake, Virginia. So
it's not even a Canadian thing. Now police aren't karting
and busting kids. But it does make you wonder how
old is too old to be trigger treating?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Wow, so a law against it in one town in
the United States. That is insane. Why would such a
log exist? To me, it's absolutely backwards to put any
age limit on trick or treating. Why would you want
to discourage senior citizens from trick or treating? Why should
anybody over a particular age be discouraged? I don't get
the rational. It goes to a bigger problem in society,
(19:12):
which is self defeating, self limiting when people just decide that, oh,
I'm a certain age, so that means X and X
is always bad, right. I don't get that. I just
don't get that thought process. So I do believe people
of any age. Do you ever cut people off the door?
Now you get a kid show up and he looks
to be eighteen or nineteen, you say, now you're two
(19:33):
old son. I would never in a million years think
of doing that. And it's not out of fear of retribution.
You know, I can defend our castle. It's just why
would you discourage.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Now if they come without a costume. That's what I
was going to. Okay, that's a different critter.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
That's not trick or treating.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Yes, how many years have you done him?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Mary? I have not been sentenced to any amount of time,
But yeah, hell dam thanks for making your call.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
And my husband's dressed up as Igor for how many years?
Forty years, fifty years, and he likes to scare the kids.
But we have an English golden The dog is not scary.
But any rate, we're going to pull out our Dpsonian
telescope and look at Saturn tonight. Why we give out
(20:26):
treats to the kids and Saturn is close to the moon.
My husband says, have you ever seen Saturn through the telescope?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I have not. It may be time we have this big,
beautiful telescope in our office.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Yeah, you've not lived in because once you look at
the rings on Saturn, you're hooked.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And you can see that through your telescope tonight.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Yeah, because we have an adopsonian. We're members of the
Astronomical Society. But two years ago, snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs came down. They got they went and got
actors' costumes and they were dressed up just like snow
White and the Seven Doors and they came down and
(21:09):
saw Saturn through our telescope. So that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And n it was like a lot of fun at
your house, Mary, And I'm a member of the Astronomical
Society also a bit different kind.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Oh well, any rate, but when you see Saturn through
the telescope, you go, oh, there is a god. And
Jupiter is really bright too. So if you ever get
a chance to you Astronomy Club has open house and
once and on.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Thank you so much for that, Mary, that is really cool.
Have you seen that, Ryan, like through a telloscope the
rings and all that.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Now, the last time I was really into that. You
remember when Haley's comment came was.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
A nineteen eighty six, I believe, and I was a
young guy and my uncle Art had this high powered
telescope and we were able to see images of that
as it came around the earth.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
See to do more of that. Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Thank you for that call.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And no one has touched on all the threats online
from people in the Snap program if they are shut off.
I've seen threats of riots and assaults, stating they'll feed
their kids no matter what it takes. What are your thoughts.
My thoughts are that that's completely unrepresentative of the people
on Snap. And that's the thing about social media, right
you get a handful of folks out there saying nutty things,
(22:26):
and then all of a sudden, there's a temptation to say, well,
that's all that group of people think. Not at all.
I think that is a small, vocal minority if it's
even real, and that we are not going to see
anything like that on any large scale. Interesting statement from
the president President Donald Trump, President Trump saying our government
(22:48):
lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to
pay Snap with certain monies we have available, and now
two courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can
and cannot do. I do not want Americans to go
hungry just because the radical Democrats refuse to do the
right thing and reopen the government. Therefore, I have instructed
our lawyers to ask the court to clarify how we
(23:09):
can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. It is
already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the government
closed through the monthly payment date, and even if we
get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while states
get the money out. If we are given the appropriate
legal direction by the court, it will be my honor,
be my honor, all in caps. It will be my
(23:30):
honor to provide the funding, just like we did with
military and law enforcement pay. The Democrats should quit this
charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons
and immediately reopen the government. If you use SNAP benefits,
call the Senate Democrats and tell them to reopen the government.
Now here is crying Chuck Schumer's office number two O
two two two four six' five four to. Two So
(23:54):
President trump he wants the courts to say that he
can FUND. Snap be interesting to see where that. Goes
so the one court, Today Federal court out Of, boston
ordering the administration to use five million in food emergency,
reserves the administration saying that they had wanted to but
felt they could not legally do. That The court now
(24:15):
saying use. It The court saying it will now look
at other sources of funds available to the executive and
perhaps issue in order on. Those so what do you
think of? That three or three seven one THREE a
two five five text D A n five seven seven three.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Nine President trump asking.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
The court to order him to release funds TO, snap
saying his lawyers have concluded they don't have the legal,
authority but if a court tells him to he wants,
to it would be my. Honor so let's see where that.
Goes three or three seOne three eight two five Five do.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You agree with the course of action?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
There And i'll tell you a course of action where
if they took odds on this In, vegas who, knows
maybe they. Do this would be the surest bet in,
history the bet That Fort Lewis college In colorado is
going to Allow Turning POINT usa to have a chapter
(25:16):
on campus as an official student. Group the reason we're
talking about this is the student, Government i'll read you
the story voted against. This and when you hear the.
Story it goes beyond mind. Blowing but this you can
be sure. Of there are certain things in life you
can be one hundred percent sure. Of If Turning POINT
(25:37):
usa wants an officially sanctioned student group chapter on The Fort,
Lewis Colorado college, campus it will get. That despite what just,
Happened i'll give you a bit of the. Story students
erupted in cheers after The Fort Lewis College senate voted
this week to reject a request to recognize a New
Turning POINT usa chapter as an official student. Organization quote
(26:01):
disappointing day for our. College they value, diversity but not
diversity of. Thought this will not, stand The Fort Lewis
Turning POINT Usa chapter wrote on. X Senate President Azo
worthington announced the vote during The Associated students Of Fort
Lewis College weekly, meeting describing it as QUOTE a difficult. Decision,
(26:23):
Yeah i'm sure it. Was it's always got to be
difficult to violate The. Constitution and then it goes on to, say,
quote in light of the opinions and concern shared with
us today on both sides of the, discussion we have
decided to Deny Turning point USA's request to become AN
rso one at this, Time worthington. Said, however after the
(26:46):
announcement resulted in cheers from a number of students in,
Attendance worthington, said the student coman, quote may reconsider its
decision in the, future AND i bet that future comes very.
Quickly they are going to reconsider that, decision and hopefully
before it's necessary to file a, lawsuit because then they're
going to be looking at having to pay attorney fees
(27:06):
under federal LAW. Sat but they will be reconsidering that
decision because they are dead in the water in. Court
all of.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That but the part of what you just, Read dan
that chills me the most is the fact that you said.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
THIS i THINK i got this.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Right students cheered this decision to silence a group on their.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Campus that's.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Awful but you're talking to, guy, WELL i know you've
got hospitalized by.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Distractors. Yeah, hospital it's a.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Very generous way to put. It it's not like they
carried my carcass to the. Hospital it's they put my
carcass in the hospital. Enough and fortunately there was a grand.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Jury but so we have this history In.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Colorado other parts of the. Country but this history In
colorado of these far left activists taking over student governments
and making crazy things happen on. Campus, fortunately we still
have a constitution and a court system which and step
in and clean up their.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Mess and that is going to.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Happen as long As Turning POINT usa is willing to fight,
it they will. Win and to that, point just a
very revealing statement from the university. Itself Fort Lewis college,
quote an appeal process is available and students are encouraged
to use this process if they wish to continue seeking.
(28:24):
Recognition the college stated, Quote as a public, institution Fort
Lewis college upholds the principles of free speech and free
expression consistent with college policies and state and federal. Laws
so that's what's called more than an invitation From Fort
Lewis college To Turning POINT usa to. Appeal it's the
(28:46):
college Begging Turning POINT usa to appeal rather than. Sue
and they will appeal because they probably have to go
through that step to button everything up before their winning.
Lawsuits so they will be on that college campus if
they want.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
TO i hope they want.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
To you're on The Dan Capitlas.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Show and now back to the Dan Caapless show. Podcast really.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Nice if you're In colorado, today you're probably looking around
checking your. Cound is this Really? Halloween because often we
get bad, weather but a Beautiful Friday.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Halloween nights so expecting.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
What do you? THINK i think two to three times
the normal number of trick or treaters would.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Hope so what's the weather forecast for?
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Tonight?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Again, oh it's, beautiful looks, look, yeah we will need
a green just look out the. Window what do you
mean a little. Chick if you grew up In, MICHIGAN i,
know well we had it's above. Zero we had some
pretty warm halloweens AS i remember, Though, yeah we used
to In chicago as. Well but let's look at the
hourly for anybody in the metro. Area you could be
out there as late at ten at night and it's
(29:52):
still going to be forty. Degrees but we don't have,
snow we don't have big winds and crazy the big
things the. Wind it could be zero degree or, rain
and if there's if it's dry and it's, calm, yeah
that's easily. Manageable so compared to what we usually get On,
halloween at least most, years, Yeah i'm expecting two to
three times the, number and a lot more of the
(30:13):
older trick or. TREATERS i think it's not even a
talk topic because everybody listening has the same. Rule if
a kid's not in a, Costume, now if a little
lidty bitty isn't in a, COSTUME i take our whole.
Bowl but if you get somebody over what age and
they're not in a, costume are you going to turn them?
Away we're usually in a pretty mellow mood On, halloween you,
(30:34):
know giving out the candy everything, else So i'm not
sure i'd want to get confrontational like. That but if
a whole pack showed up without any, costume do you
turn them? Away three? Out three, seven, one three, eight
two five five the? Number glad you joined. US a
lot of different topics going this, afternoon Including snap And
president coming out and asking the court to clarify to
(30:55):
Tell trump that he can use money under his purview
to Fun snap and saying would be his honor to do,
that but that his lawyers are saying he. Cannot so
you're aware of that one court ruling today for the
first five billion that now will go To. Snap that
though doesn't cover. THEM i think it's eight eight and
a half billion each. Month so we'll see where this
goes if it puts pressure on The democrats to stop
(31:17):
this hostage. Taking BUT i don't think anybody's betting on.
THAT i, mean they're just so irrational and they just don't.
Care they just doing Not, democrats but you, know the
party just doesn't care about. Humans President trump appreciate this very.
Much we've talked about it on the. Show statement from
The president, today how far do you think he should
(31:37):
go to en force this to stop the slaughter Of
christians In?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Nigeria excuse?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Me president, says in, Part christianity is facing an existential
threat In. Nigeria thousands Of christians are being. Killed Radical
islamist are responsible for this mass. SLAUGHTER i am hereby
Making nigeria a country a particular, concern but that is
the least of. It When christians are any such group
is slaughtered like is happening In, nigeria something must be
(32:06):
done exclamation. Point i'm Asking Congressman Riley, moore together With
Chairman Tom cole in The House Appropriations, committee to immediately
look into this matter and report back to. Me The
United states cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening
In nigeria and numerous other. Countries we stand, ready willing
and able to save our Great christian.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Population around the.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
World DONALD. J, Trump president of The United states Of,
America how far should The president go and stopping the
mass slaughter Of christians In nigeria by Radical Islamis american
troops on the, Ground how far.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Should the president?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Go we know that this is not a.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
President who makes idle.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
THREATS i don't read anything in that tweet to suggest
that The president intends to Send american.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Troops i'm not arguing that would be.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
NECESSARY i think the president his peace Through strength Credit
cholls completely deserved and intact probably has a lot of
different ways to bring the necessary pressure to. Bear the
key is to have him focused on it and ready
to go to that point where he makes it clear
in whatever way he needs, to that this mass slaughter
(33:17):
Of christians needs to.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Stop it goes to a bigger, POINT i, guess.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Not a bigger point when you're talking about a genocide like,
that but a related, point which is the surge the
growth Of, christianity and it's happening in many places around the.
World it's happening In, america particularly among the. Young why
do you think that Is ryan.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
A?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Surgeon?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
What, SORRY i didn't mean to. Interrupt what's that, set? Poker,
No i'm working on the. Audio you thank?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
You, no SAY i Heard?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Christianity have you heard of? It?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
YEAH i?
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Have.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yes, Well Charlie, KIRK i think is primarily responsible through
his work With Turning POINT, usa going to college campuses
and making it mainstream inacceptable for young people to come
out and, say, Hey i'm A. CHRISTIAN i believe In.
Jesus this is part of WHO i. Am this is
part of WHAT i want my life to be. ABOUT
i think it's brought it really out of the. Shadows
WHEN i was going to College dan in the, nineties you,
know there was A fellowship Of christian athletes and organizations
(34:15):
like that on, campus but they weren't as prominent as
As charlie really made.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Them AND i think he deserves a lot of credit for.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
It, OH i think you're right about, that and thank
you for cutting that. Sound that's Why ryan's nickname around
here is The, octopus and for very good, Reasons.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
He's able to do all these things at.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
ONCE i think there are other things that help explain
it as. WELL i think it's a fascinating. Topic why
this Surgeon christianity and again particularly among the young, surgeon
in the number of young who are pro, life which
is affecting politics as.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Well when we come, back wide open five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Hour lots to, do but big national story out Of
durango Where ice picked up a father and a couple
of his kids and now there are protests down. There
who do you side? With here on the Day Gaplos,

day to fight for the American way. Glad you're here
at three oh three seven one three eight two five
(00:20):
five the number text d A and five seven seven
three nine. How nice to see a nice warm Halloween
right because Colorado we have this history. The weather's beautiful,
then you get Halloween and bam, the little kids get frostbite.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
But not this year.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So we will have some Halloween wisdom, trigger treating tips,
best worst areas, age, how old? These too old? Have
an interesting story on that, and then the best and
worst things that people give. And I don't know how
much thought you give to what you're going to give
on Halloween or your own Halloween strategy. Is there a
(00:58):
time when you just cut it off and when you
just say, Okay, I'm going to stay up till X
then I'm turning the lights off and I'm going to bed.
Or do you just keep giving the stuff out until
people stop coming now, this being a Friday night Halloween.
I was pretty stunned last night when Amy and I
were reviewing the inventory of full sized bars for trick
(01:20):
or treaters. And so I go through a couple of
bulls and I say, hey, this is awesome. Yeah, great, great,
this great work. And I said, Okay, where are the others?
She said, what others? So where are the others? It's
a Friday night.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Uh huh, it's a Friday night.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Now this may be a male female thing, Ryan, because
I can remember as a little kid, I mean, we
would gear for I think it truly as a little kid,
I only had one Friday Night trick or treat and
one Saturday trick or treat because you're only a little
kid so long, and then it's another seven years until
it comes around again. But Friday night trick or treats first,
(01:58):
you're going to get a lot more of the teenager action.
And that'll probably come later. But the little kids who
are on their game, they've been planning this out Friday night,
they get to stay up a little later. Maybe they
you know, cycle back again in different packs later on,
do a double dip. So no, we scrambled and got
a lot more bars.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
From My Stranger Things Youth of the eighties as a
gen xter. I remember my friend Eric Olmley and I
we made a map of our entire neighborhood and we
identify all of you, kind of like the capitalist family
manor where you got the best candy, and we put
like a green check mark on there. And then we
knew the houses that would give away, you know, pennies
and stuff, we put like an X on that. We
(02:37):
had a plan going in. You're right, and especially with
a Friday night Halloween, Dan, this is golden for all
the kiddos out there.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
For a lot of these kids, it's the only Friday
Night Halloween they'll ever have, right, correct do the math.
So let's say you have a kid who's seven tonight,
this will probably be the only one he ever has.
Oh yeah, right, I mean it's well, you got that.
It's like that, you know, when's the last time you
(03:04):
played with your friends and you didn't even know, You
didn't even know it would be your last time. Yeah,
the last time all the kids got together and went
to the alley to play baseball, and you had no
idea it would be the last last time yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
You had me cut up that package, and I was
watching it with great interest about when.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Is it too old to be trick or treating anymore?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And you and I were talking about this, and I
feel even more resolute today than I did back then.
Kid wants to go trick or treating well into high school.
Better they be doing that than something else, going to
a drunk party or something.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Let them trick or treat.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And don't cut it off at high school. I mean, sure,
what logical reason is there to say that I couldn't
go out and trick or treat tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I would pay good money to watch that.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, you don't have to pay anything.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Are you dressing up?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You know?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I would have to pull out one of those costumes
you got one in waiting, well, one of the recent ones.
So either Zoro or Trump or something.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, well, well, how would Amy feel about you dressing
up as Trump?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, there are other costumes that probably won't see the street.
But three al three someone three eight two five five
da and five seven seven three nine. Glad you're here,
so we'll do all the trick or treat stuff fire
at will. I still want to hear from people on
who should take this prime morning spot on six point
(04:23):
thirty KHW and Denver. We're privileged to have this show
carried there along with other Ihart stations. But that's a
big job and a big market on a great station
six to ten am. Obviously, I say, having no authority
in such matters, if Ryan Shuling wants that slot, it's
going to be Ryan Shuling slot, because who could be better?
But you are not a morning person, right or have
(04:45):
you rethought that?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I mean, you know, in a professional sense, I would
do whatever it takes. I am more wired to the
shift that I have right now, if I'm speaking right
from the heart, and I love the shift that I
do and what I'm able to do. The two is
the Dan Caplis pregame show every day including today, working
with you, running the show with you, I'm kind of
gotten into those bio rhythms. So when I talked about
(05:09):
it with I did talk about it with Michael Brown
when he was first inserted into that morning spot from
the two to four one that I had occupied him
that before me Leland Conway occupied, and he kind of
hinted at it saying, hey, it's a total lifestyle change,
and it is, and I would go to you know,
taking myself out of the equation and conversation for me,
(05:31):
I think it would be a strong move based on
familiarity with our audience in both directions. If Leland Conway
came back and did the six to ten because he
knows this market, he lives not far away in Colorado Springs,
He's been on this station before.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He's a great guy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
He's got today that's no for you, dog.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Well, I'm just saying I'm taking myself out of it
because you know you can't what do you always say this?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You can't be on your own jury, right.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
A man can't sit on his own jury or a.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Woman, right.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
But with Leeland, and I'll just sell him for a second.
You know he's got that boundless energy and you've got
to fill four hours solo. I don't even know how
Brown did it, but he's got a lot of stories
to tell. I just think Leland would have the octane
level required for that time of day, for that many hours,
and again the audience knows and likes him.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That would be my thought.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You want to hear about octane requirements, octaneal requirements. Okay, yeah,
this text leads into it this person wants you to
take over my show, Ryan Kale and Keroai powers it
be what a great show. Ryan needs to be on
k How from two to six let's see he's currently on.
Oh yeah, that's me and Dan Kaplo should take brown
(06:46):
Spot from six to ten exciting times. Patty Petty is wonderful,
by the way, and I am a morning guy. Yeah,
I mean to me, eight in the morning is like lunchtime.
The thing is, I'm not doing four hours of radio,
and that's a lot not going to happen. But you
want to talk about octane. I used to do four
hours a day with.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Craig, but that's the first three or four years of
the show, and that was.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Wonderful radio, and Craig was great to work with. But
four hours a day of banging heads, that was Yeah,
Sack goes under.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You knew it by the end. So yeah, I just
not do it for.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I ask you just theoretically though, with your schedule and
of course the law firm everything that goes down with it.
Could you do a six to ten A? Could you
do a six to eight A? Would there be any
kind of morning formula that would work for you? Or
do you prefer doing the late afternoon the four dest No,
I hate that that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It all work, and I've done mornings before. The great
thing is from day one with this station, and this
goes back how many years now, almost thirty, the understanding
has been law firm comes first, and if I need
to miss, I miss, and they have always been great
about that, including this recent trial. I was off how.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Long seven weeks? Seven weeks?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Talking about that with broccoler and Reims. No. Station management
has always been great about that.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I have I've stopped in the middle of a sentence
on air when something came up in the law practice
that I needed to attend to. So management has been
great about that forever. For me, it's just yeah, mornings,
love mornings. Just don't want to do four hours. No, well, okay,
don't want.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
To do for us. That's the disqualifier, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Right, right, because there's just so much going on right now,
and hey, every minute's a privilege on air and I've
felt that way from day one till now. But don't
want to do four hours.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Dan and Ryan.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I would love for Leland to take over Brownie Show.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Leland's remarkable and there is just so much talent out there. Yeah,
Brockler wasn't DA. George is imagined great people. Ever, I'm
guessing that Sheriff Reems couldn't do it, right. He's about
to be elected county commissional. That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
My thought on that would be he can't do a
show like that during a campaign. But it seems to
me once you've been elected to the office. I mean,
George is the DA in the twenty third, he fills
in for you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Reems is the.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Elected sheriff of Weld County, but that election's not happening
in real time, so he's filled in for you, right,
So once you are in the office, you can do it.
So he's gonna be commissioner. He's not running against anybody
in Weld County. Yeah, it's a thought, but he's so
far away.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, and both those guys they're going to make sure
they do whatever they have to do to nail that
first job, so correct. Yeah, Dan, I would love for
Leland to take over Brownie's show. Another vote for Leland,
and then of course you never know who's just going
to come out of the blue. And that's one of
the really exciting things about talk radio. It is a
pure meritocracy. If one Gale or one guy can come
(09:37):
on air and be better than the next Galer guy,
they're going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
On air somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Costume suggestions, Dan, wear Rockies hat in Jersey, people will
give you extra candy out of pity. Yeah, or they
may boo you and slam the door.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Actually I'm wearing right now, Dan, you might have noticed.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm in black.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Head to tow shirt, pants, shoes, and also wearing a
Rockies hat because you know, they've had some tough times
right now, some Rockies fan kind of in the morning,
but we're looking to some new blood that's an inspiring
maybe next year inspiring. So I'm representing.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Hey, a few quick notes on other things on the.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Show today that the latest on you know, the shutdown
and the pending snap benefit cutoff, though it's going to
be funded in part by a court order. And for
I want to get into this deeply. A Colorado school
turning down. Turning Point USA says they cannot be on campus.
(10:33):
It's a student organization. I will guarantee you this and
then we'll get into the story. If Turning Point USA
wants to be there, they will be on campus, and
I hope they want to be there. You're on the
Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Best and Worst Areas to trick or treat? How old
is too old? Best or worst things people give? And
anything else on your mind? Three all, three, seven, one, three, eight, two, five,
five the number costumes. I mean, it's probably a little
late for the great costume suggestion. Dan, Happy forty second
anniversary of passing the bar exam from Alexa. Thank you, Alexa,
and thank you for remembering. Yeah, we were remembering. We
(11:17):
were sworning on Halloween. Oh yeah, Halloween. Remember the eighty
three and one.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
She apparently charged the time by the anniversary.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
You're a lot of graazy that way, just to he
has steel trapped mind, Yeah, Dan, If a court can
rule that SNAP benefits have to be paid, can a
court rule the Congress people can't be paid during the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's it's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
This court ruling, by the way, is that Trump administration
has to use funds from a contingency fund, an emergency
food fund five billion dollars worth, which won't cover.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
A month of SNAP benefits. But that is the.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Extent of the Court's jurisdictionary. Let me reel that back in,
because in the order today there was a suggestion that
the Court might consider ordering the Trump administration to use
other specific funds as well to continue to fund SNAP.
You can bet that there would be a challenge to
that and we would see what would happen at the
(12:12):
higher levels there. So Dan maybe had Jared Polis for
the Morning show. What a wonderful way to start each
day with the dose of socialism, and it really is
interesting to see how different democrats package that. But once
Mom Donnie wins, you're going to have a whole lot
of a whole lot of these Colorado Democrats come much
further out of the commedi closet than they have so far,
(12:35):
and just they won't be able to help themselves and
they'll be even more open about it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Real quick on that topic, Dan, I had Tricia Calvaretsy
live in studio on my program today and she's one
of the few Democrats.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
She was alive. Well, that could have been accurred. Why
do people say live in studio. When you say the studio,
there's an assumption, No, Dan Anon, let me you can
pre record an interview in studio, and I've done that
many times and really recent in the studio.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Okay, I'm not gonna quib.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, sometimes they can only make it during a certain
time anyway, uh she When asked, she answered a lot
of questions, including about Lauren Bolbert. She's in the fourth
congressional district Democrat running. I asked her point blank about Zoronmandanni,
and it was as if I presented her with a
radioactive fissier material that she wanted nothing to do with you.
I'm not talking about New York City, I'm talking about
(13:23):
this district.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And I'm like, Okay, she's not a COMI I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I have so many No, she and I disagree completely
politically right. I wouldn't be able to vote for her
because her abortion positions, things like that, but enjoy the
time with her. But you've got so many of these
prominent Democrat lefties with real power who on their best day,
they're socialist right and a bunch of murn out of
the closet yet true right.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
They used different names for it and everything else.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But but once mom Donnie wins, yes, some will still
be able to help themselves, but a.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Lot won't interesting lot won't.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
When when I say closet, I mean commy clauset. I'm
not talking about jender or any of that other stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Further to that point, Tricia, with the exception, the glaring
exception of the life issue with you, I would say,
based on my conversations with her, she's the type of
Democrat that basically no longer exists. I made the comparison
of her to John Fetterman. But why you, at one
time were a Democrat. You could have been more in
line with somebody like her, like John Kennedy, like Harry Truman,
(14:24):
like John Fetterman. And but that type of democrat is
just a endangered species now.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And that's kind of like saying, but you know, except
for that slavery issue, if it weren't for slavery, Yeah,
right right. Some stuff's fundamental, But they're going to be
a dying breed in Colorado. They're not. John Kennedy right
now would not be welcome in the JFK correct, would
not be welcome in the Colorado Democratic Party, wouldn't even
be close. He'd be thrown out just for the way
(14:49):
he ended his inaugural address. Right, may God's work on
Earth truly be our own.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeh, he's out.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They probably sue them, gone, sue them, tape them to
the goalposts somewhere, But now they wouldn't do that because
they're a post of football. Dan. It's so ironic that Kamala, JB.
Pritsker and other Dems are now screaming that children won't
have food when Snap runs out. Annoying little glitch in
the system will make quick work of that. But they
also thought to be able to abort babies up to birds.
(15:18):
Obviously they don't care about those children. God does. There's
virtually no intellectual honesty left in the Democrat Party, and
you see it right now, and they shut down the thing.
You see it in everything. We don't talk about it
that much on air because it's such a given. It's
a party that has.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Separated itself from the truth.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And I think that's part of the Democratic Party, which
I used to be a member of, separating from God
the Democrat. And there are many, many deeply faithful Democrats
people who vote Democrats, don't get me wrong, But the
party itself has become so secular, so separated from truth.
It's just a given.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
The challenge is there are a lot of people who
still vot Democrat who don't realize that yet. They just
don't like politics. They've tuned it out. They vote out
of habit. They don't like the Republicans. Yeah, but over
time that's eroding and more and more people are seeing
what they become. That's why the coming mom Donnie Win
is going to be so great for America as a whole,
(16:19):
because people it's going to cut through the noise for
some people who haven't realized yet what the modern Democratic
Party is really all about. Oh what else? Do we
have a couple of texts. Matt Dunn, He's the one
still is a big backbone following Dan. I like Matt
Dunn to take it. We're talking about who will get
that prize six to ten am time slot in Denver
(16:41):
and six thirty kitsch a w since Michael Brown will
be moving over to Koa. Dan not sure if Ryan
wants it, but I vote for him George next. So yeah,
we'll keep taking that. Some more costume suggestions.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Stan.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
In years past, parents would spend a couple of weeks
planning their kids costume. Then everyone was just walking around
and where oats?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
All right, this is a really nice Thanksgiving day.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Great point there, full chance to show off the costumes. Amazing.
How many people are now coming up with these really
creative costumes for their dogs. So the effort's still there.
Maybe it's just been transferred to our canine friends, Dan.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Halloween comes on a Friday every six to eleven years.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Due to leap years. Wow, thank you for that. My
earlier point reinforced and magnified. That is I was telling
Amy yesterday, we've got to go out and double up
on the AMMO, which she did today. Worked really hard,
not easy to track down all those full sized bars,
but at least two to three times the number of
trick or treaters we normally see, among many other things
(17:43):
we do when we come back, including there's a lot
of chatter now about whether an alien spacecraft has been
identified flying toward the Sun. I don't buy it, but
you're getting some prominent people who are making a.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Scientific case on that figure.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Halloween is a good time to get that nonsense out there.
But we will play that piece on how old it
is too old to trick or treat? My very serious
proposition is there is no such age, and how did
we ever get to this bizarre place where people think
there is an age cutoff for those who trick or treat.
You're on the Dan Capla show.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Oh that if you're planning on trick or treating in Bathhurst,
New Brunswick, Canada and you're sixteen years old, you were
breaking the law. It's true. Same in Chesapeake, Virginia. So
it's not even a Canadian thing. Now police aren't karting
and busting kids. But it does make you wonder how
old is too old to be trigger treating?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Wow, so a law against it in one town in
the United States. That is insane. Why would such a
log exist? To me, it's absolutely backwards to put any
age limit on trick or treating. Why would you want
to discourage senior citizens from trick or treating? Why should
anybody over a particular age be discouraged? I don't get
the rational. It goes to a bigger problem in society,
(19:12):
which is self defeating, self limiting when people just decide that, oh,
I'm a certain age, so that means X and X
is always bad, right. I don't get that. I just
don't get that thought process. So I do believe people
of any age. Do you ever cut people off the door?
Now you get a kid show up and he looks
to be eighteen or nineteen, you say, now you're two
(19:33):
old son. I would never in a million years think
of doing that. And it's not out of fear of retribution.
You know, I can defend our castle. It's just why
would you discourage.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Now if they come without a costume. That's what I
was going to. Okay, that's a different critter.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
That's not trick or treating.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Yes, how many years have you done him?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Mary? I have not been sentenced to any amount of time,
But yeah, hell dam thanks for making your call.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
And my husband's dressed up as Igor for how many years?
Forty years, fifty years, and he likes to scare the kids.
But we have an English golden The dog is not scary.
But any rate, we're going to pull out our Dpsonian
telescope and look at Saturn tonight. Why we give out
(20:26):
treats to the kids and Saturn is close to the moon.
My husband says, have you ever seen Saturn through the telescope?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I have not. It may be time we have this big,
beautiful telescope in our office.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Yeah, you've not lived in because once you look at
the rings on Saturn, you're hooked.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And you can see that through your telescope tonight.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Yeah, because we have an adopsonian. We're members of the
Astronomical Society. But two years ago, snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs came down. They got they went and got
actors' costumes and they were dressed up just like snow
White and the Seven Doors and they came down and
(21:09):
saw Saturn through our telescope. So that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And n it was like a lot of fun at
your house, Mary, And I'm a member of the Astronomical
Society also a bit different kind.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Oh well, any rate, but when you see Saturn through
the telescope, you go, oh, there is a god. And
Jupiter is really bright too. So if you ever get
a chance to you Astronomy Club has open house and
once and on.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Thank you so much for that, Mary, that is really cool.
Have you seen that, Ryan, like through a telloscope the
rings and all that.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Now, the last time I was really into that. You
remember when Haley's comment came was.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
A nineteen eighty six, I believe, and I was a
young guy and my uncle Art had this high powered
telescope and we were able to see images of that
as it came around the earth.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
See to do more of that. Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Thank you for that call.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And no one has touched on all the threats online
from people in the Snap program if they are shut off.
I've seen threats of riots and assaults, stating they'll feed
their kids no matter what it takes. What are your thoughts.
My thoughts are that that's completely unrepresentative of the people
on Snap. And that's the thing about social media, right
you get a handful of folks out there saying nutty things,
(22:26):
and then all of a sudden, there's a temptation to say, well,
that's all that group of people think. Not at all.
I think that is a small, vocal minority if it's
even real, and that we are not going to see
anything like that on any large scale. Interesting statement from
the president President Donald Trump, President Trump saying our government
(22:48):
lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to
pay Snap with certain monies we have available, and now
two courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can
and cannot do. I do not want Americans to go
hungry just because the radical Democrats refuse to do the
right thing and reopen the government. Therefore, I have instructed
our lawyers to ask the court to clarify how we
(23:09):
can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. It is
already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the government
closed through the monthly payment date, and even if we
get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while states
get the money out. If we are given the appropriate
legal direction by the court, it will be my honor,
be my honor, all in caps. It will be my
(23:30):
honor to provide the funding, just like we did with
military and law enforcement pay. The Democrats should quit this
charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons
and immediately reopen the government. If you use SNAP benefits,
call the Senate Democrats and tell them to reopen the government.
Now here is crying Chuck Schumer's office number two O
two two two four six' five four to. Two So
(23:54):
President trump he wants the courts to say that he
can FUND. Snap be interesting to see where that. Goes
so the one court, Today Federal court out Of, boston
ordering the administration to use five million in food emergency,
reserves the administration saying that they had wanted to but
felt they could not legally do. That The court now
(24:15):
saying use. It The court saying it will now look
at other sources of funds available to the executive and
perhaps issue in order on. Those so what do you
think of? That three or three seven one THREE a
two five five text D A n five seven seven three.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Nine President trump asking.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
The court to order him to release funds TO, snap
saying his lawyers have concluded they don't have the legal,
authority but if a court tells him to he wants,
to it would be my. Honor so let's see where that.
Goes three or three seOne three eight two five Five do.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You agree with the course of action?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
There And i'll tell you a course of action where
if they took odds on this In, vegas who, knows
maybe they. Do this would be the surest bet in,
history the bet That Fort Lewis college In colorado is
going to Allow Turning POINT usa to have a chapter
(25:16):
on campus as an official student. Group the reason we're
talking about this is the student, Government i'll read you
the story voted against. This and when you hear the.
Story it goes beyond mind. Blowing but this you can
be sure. Of there are certain things in life you
can be one hundred percent sure. Of If Turning POINT
(25:37):
usa wants an officially sanctioned student group chapter on The Fort,
Lewis Colorado college, campus it will get. That despite what just,
Happened i'll give you a bit of the. Story students
erupted in cheers after The Fort Lewis College senate voted
this week to reject a request to recognize a New
Turning POINT usa chapter as an official student. Organization quote
(26:01):
disappointing day for our. College they value, diversity but not
diversity of. Thought this will not, stand The Fort Lewis
Turning POINT Usa chapter wrote on. X Senate President Azo
worthington announced the vote during The Associated students Of Fort
Lewis College weekly, meeting describing it as QUOTE a difficult. Decision,
(26:23):
Yeah i'm sure it. Was it's always got to be
difficult to violate The. Constitution and then it goes on to, say,
quote in light of the opinions and concern shared with
us today on both sides of the, discussion we have
decided to Deny Turning point USA's request to become AN
rso one at this, Time worthington. Said, however after the
(26:46):
announcement resulted in cheers from a number of students in,
Attendance worthington, said the student coman, quote may reconsider its
decision in the, future AND i bet that future comes very.
Quickly they are going to reconsider that, decision and hopefully
before it's necessary to file a, lawsuit because then they're
going to be looking at having to pay attorney fees
(27:06):
under federal LAW. Sat but they will be reconsidering that
decision because they are dead in the water in. Court
all of.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That but the part of what you just, Read dan
that chills me the most is the fact that you said.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
THIS i THINK i got this.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Right students cheered this decision to silence a group on their.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Campus that's.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Awful but you're talking to, guy, WELL i know you've
got hospitalized by.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Distractors. Yeah, hospital it's a.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Very generous way to put. It it's not like they
carried my carcass to the. Hospital it's they put my
carcass in the hospital. Enough and fortunately there was a grand.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Jury but so we have this history In.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Colorado other parts of the. Country but this history In
colorado of these far left activists taking over student governments
and making crazy things happen on. Campus, fortunately we still
have a constitution and a court system which and step
in and clean up their.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Mess and that is going to.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Happen as long As Turning POINT usa is willing to fight,
it they will. Win and to that, point just a
very revealing statement from the university. Itself Fort Lewis college,
quote an appeal process is available and students are encouraged
to use this process if they wish to continue seeking.
(28:24):
Recognition the college stated, Quote as a public, institution Fort
Lewis college upholds the principles of free speech and free
expression consistent with college policies and state and federal. Laws
so that's what's called more than an invitation From Fort
Lewis college To Turning POINT usa to. Appeal it's the
(28:46):
college Begging Turning POINT usa to appeal rather than. Sue
and they will appeal because they probably have to go
through that step to button everything up before their winning.
Lawsuits so they will be on that college campus if
they want.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
TO i hope they want.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
To you're on The Dan Capitlas.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Show and now back to the Dan Caapless show. Podcast really.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Nice if you're In colorado, today you're probably looking around
checking your. Cound is this Really? Halloween because often we
get bad, weather but a Beautiful Friday.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Halloween nights so expecting.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
What do you? THINK i think two to three times
the normal number of trick or treaters would.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Hope so what's the weather forecast for?
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Tonight?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Again, oh it's, beautiful looks, look, yeah we will need
a green just look out the. Window what do you
mean a little. Chick if you grew up In, MICHIGAN i,
know well we had it's above. Zero we had some
pretty warm halloweens AS i remember, Though, yeah we used
to In chicago as. Well but let's look at the
hourly for anybody in the metro. Area you could be
out there as late at ten at night and it's
(29:52):
still going to be forty. Degrees but we don't have,
snow we don't have big winds and crazy the big
things the. Wind it could be zero degree or, rain
and if there's if it's dry and it's, calm, yeah
that's easily. Manageable so compared to what we usually get On,
halloween at least most, years, Yeah i'm expecting two to
three times the, number and a lot more of the
(30:13):
older trick or. TREATERS i think it's not even a
talk topic because everybody listening has the same. Rule if
a kid's not in a, Costume, now if a little
lidty bitty isn't in a, COSTUME i take our whole.
Bowl but if you get somebody over what age and
they're not in a, costume are you going to turn them?
Away we're usually in a pretty mellow mood On, halloween you,
(30:34):
know giving out the candy everything, else So i'm not
sure i'd want to get confrontational like. That but if
a whole pack showed up without any, costume do you
turn them? Away three? Out three, seven, one three, eight
two five five the? Number glad you joined. US a
lot of different topics going this, afternoon Including snap And
president coming out and asking the court to clarify to
(30:55):
Tell trump that he can use money under his purview
to Fun snap and saying would be his honor to do,
that but that his lawyers are saying he. Cannot so
you're aware of that one court ruling today for the
first five billion that now will go To. Snap that
though doesn't cover. THEM i think it's eight eight and
a half billion each. Month so we'll see where this
goes if it puts pressure on The democrats to stop
(31:17):
this hostage. Taking BUT i don't think anybody's betting on.
THAT i, mean they're just so irrational and they just don't.
Care they just doing Not, democrats but you, know the
party just doesn't care about. Humans President trump appreciate this very.
Much we've talked about it on the. Show statement from
The president, today how far do you think he should
(31:37):
go to en force this to stop the slaughter Of
christians In?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Nigeria excuse?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Me president, says in, Part christianity is facing an existential
threat In. Nigeria thousands Of christians are being. Killed Radical
islamist are responsible for this mass. SLAUGHTER i am hereby
Making nigeria a country a particular, concern but that is
the least of. It When christians are any such group
is slaughtered like is happening In, nigeria something must be
(32:06):
done exclamation. Point i'm Asking Congressman Riley, moore together With
Chairman Tom cole in The House Appropriations, committee to immediately
look into this matter and report back to. Me The
United states cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening
In nigeria and numerous other. Countries we stand, ready willing
and able to save our Great christian.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Population around the.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
World DONALD. J, Trump president of The United states Of,
America how far should The president go and stopping the
mass slaughter Of christians In nigeria by Radical Islamis american
troops on the, Ground how far.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Should the president?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Go we know that this is not a.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
President who makes idle.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
THREATS i don't read anything in that tweet to suggest
that The president intends to Send american.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Troops i'm not arguing that would be.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
NECESSARY i think the president his peace Through strength Credit
cholls completely deserved and intact probably has a lot of
different ways to bring the necessary pressure to. Bear the
key is to have him focused on it and ready
to go to that point where he makes it clear
in whatever way he needs, to that this mass slaughter
(33:17):
Of christians needs to.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Stop it goes to a bigger, POINT i, guess.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Not a bigger point when you're talking about a genocide like,
that but a related, point which is the surge the
growth Of, christianity and it's happening in many places around the.
World it's happening In, america particularly among the. Young why
do you think that Is ryan.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
A?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Surgeon?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
What, SORRY i didn't mean to. Interrupt what's that, set? Poker,
No i'm working on the. Audio you thank?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
You, no SAY i Heard?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Christianity have you heard of? It?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
YEAH i?
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Have.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yes, Well Charlie, KIRK i think is primarily responsible through
his work With Turning POINT, usa going to college campuses
and making it mainstream inacceptable for young people to come
out and, say, Hey i'm A. CHRISTIAN i believe In.
Jesus this is part of WHO i. Am this is
part of WHAT i want my life to be. ABOUT
i think it's brought it really out of the. Shadows
WHEN i was going to College dan in the, nineties you,
know there was A fellowship Of christian athletes and organizations
(34:15):
like that on, campus but they weren't as prominent as
As charlie really made.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Them AND i think he deserves a lot of credit for.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
It, OH i think you're right about, that and thank
you for cutting that. Sound that's Why ryan's nickname around
here is The, octopus and for very good, Reasons.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
He's able to do all these things at.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
ONCE i think there are other things that help explain
it as. WELL i think it's a fascinating. Topic why
this Surgeon christianity and again particularly among the young, surgeon
in the number of young who are pro, life which
is affecting politics as.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Well when we come, back wide open five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Hour lots to, do but big national story out Of
durango Where ice picked up a father and a couple
of his kids and now there are protests down. There
