Speaker 2 (00:14):
The start of a.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Glorious summer weekend across the Rocky So if you're listening
to this show in Colorado, A, you're lucky, and B
you're going to have great weather this weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
There may be some.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Pockets of exception across the state, but most of Colorado
is going to have warm and dry and not smoking warm,
not broiling warm, you know, just like upper eighties, low nineties,
kind of warm and dry. So let's favor at three
h three someone three eight two five five the number
text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
A little hot in the White House, I guess earlier
this week.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
At this point doesn't seem to be in dispute that
Dan Bongino may be resigning hasn't yet.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We'll see if that happened, but it appears.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
The President is likely to be lining up behind Pambondi
and Kosh Pttel as well, who both signed on to
closing the Epstein matter at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So where do you want to see all that go? Three?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
All three seven one three A two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
We've got that on the plate and so much more today.
I mean, Jeeves, where do you want to start with
all of this? You know, one of the things I'll
touch on briefly because I think it's part of a
really important broader point, is you know, this this violent
(01:30):
effort now to stop ICE from cracking down on this
marijuana farm in California where they've got all these young
kids working there, and it just and I don't mean
to sound naive, but it just comes back to as
a guy used to be a Democrat, I cannot even
fathom the fact that it is a fact, in my
view that the people who control the Democratic Party at
(01:54):
this point, the vast majority of just don't care about kids.
I'm not talking about your typical Democrat, like the one
I sleep with and have for going on well just
past thirty one years now.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It just had our anniversary.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
But I'm talking about the far left, secular wackos who
control the party. They just don't care about kids. I mean,
they're perfectly happy having all these children as a quote
acceptable casualty rate. That's the way I believe they view them,
whether they're all these kids who are being just I
mean it's straight out of hell right trafficked as they
come up over the border, and all the sexual abuse
(02:30):
and all the essentially slavery, whether it's sexual slavery or
other kinds of slavery like you see on this marijuana
farm in California. But the left and power just doesn't care.
They view so many humans as an acceptable casualty rating.
I believe that's an extension of and possibly a result
of this bizarre slavish commitment to the mass killing of
(02:54):
the unborn before birth. That's become kind of the pillar
and unifier in the Democratic Party. And once you just
decide that, you know, these million plus kids a year
lives don't matter, well then yeah, if you're that the
secular left running the Democratic Party, then in that twisted worldview,
why would these other kids matter? I mean, what's the
difference between these kids there they're willing to see die
(03:18):
other than location right between before birth and after birth.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So it's a real it's a real kind of death cult.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Death you know, this this attitude where innocent death just
doesn't matter as long as the bigger state cause is served. Yeah,
that's sick, dangerous stuff. Three or three seven to one,
three eight, two five five chime in anytime, d an
five seven seven three nine. As you can see, we're
keeping it light on this glorious summer Friday afternoon. We
(03:49):
do have some lighter topics. We just haven't thought them
up yet, but we'll get to them eventually. I do
want to get to some Marco Rubio stuff because as
we're talking about the White House and what's going on
in their internal battles, et cetera, I think it's just
worth a quick note that, you know, twenty eight is
obviously on right now, and I think it's I think
it's so cool because then I'm an optimist by nature,
(04:10):
right and I'm the guy who's been on air for
years telling you, hey.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Don't sweat it.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You know, Trump's going to win and Biden is not
going to be their candidate and it's going to be
a mess, and Trump's going to win, and my optimism
just keeps growing. And as we now are, my goodness,
just on the verge of the one year anniversary, of
the miracle in Butler, I do want to have a
deeper dive conversation over.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
What do you think now? What do you think?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I know we talked about it at the time, and
I said right away, my view is that this was
divine intervention, as we've seen throughout American history at critical
pivotal watershed moments in our history, and as the founder
is believed in. Right, you don't have to guess they
wrote it. They wrote it in the Declaration of Independence. Hey,
we're making this big bet because we're betting, you know
(04:57):
that God is going to help us because of a
We're all going to be hanging from trees. I mean,
that's what they said in the Declaration. They chose a
few different words, but that's what they said. So, now
that you've had a chance to see everything that's happened
in this past year since the assassin, whether the assassin
was sent by Iran or whether the assassin was this
lone wolf for whatever, what do you think you think
(05:20):
it was divine intervention?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And if you believe that, what do you think it
means for the future of America in the world? And
then what do you think the world would look like?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Now if that miracle had not happened, and we all
know by now right, it's no longer disputed. There never
was any legitimate dispute, but it's no longer disputed. If
Trump hadn't turned his head at just that precise instant.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
He's dead.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
He's dead. And what does America? What does the world
look like right now? If that assassin and whoever was
behind that assassin had succeeded.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
All right, we got a lot to do.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I did promo for today, and I will get into
it won't take long, but it's important, this business of Okay,
now that the US Supreme Court is very properly and
great for the Republic, across party line said no, No,
We've got an elected president, elected by the whole people.
And the way the law works is individual district court judges,
except in rare circumstances, can't block the president nationwide. So now,
(06:21):
as we all expected, the left is turning to class
action lawsuits, you know, to try to block the president nationwide.
And I know you're probably driving right now. I don't
want to make your eyes glaze over, so I won't
get deep, deep, deep into Rule twenty three in class
action lawsuit law, which truly, you could go to law
school for three years and spend every day all three
(06:42):
years studying class action law and still not cover everything.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It is that complex. But that's the point.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's the point is it's not going to be that
easy now for the left to just turn to class
action lawsuits because unlike say, going into a particular district
court and filing a lawsuit on behalf of an individual
person slash plaintiff and claiming the president was doing something unconstitutional.
Now you've got to get a whole class certified. And
(07:09):
if you can get a whole class properly underlying that
words certified, well then yeah, then then the court under
the recent US Supreme Court ruling, then the court would
have jurisdiction, you know, to do things that would have
nationwide effect, because presumably you'd have members of your class
all over the country.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
But getting a class certified is not easy. I have
done it. It is not.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Easy, and there are an awful lot of steps you
have to go through. Now I'm sure you're thinking as
you're driving home, you're thinking, well, okay, but you know
what if a judge doesn't hold their feet to the
fire and really require the people pushing this class to
satisfy all the requirements, and then at that point you
know you've got you can bet everything you've got. The
(07:55):
US Supreme Court is going to see through any farce,
and when brought the correct case, is going to put
the hammer down and say, no, it's a farce. That's
a farce that that's just meant to get around our
ruling saying no nationwide injunctions. Now, on the other hand,
you could end up with some legitimate nationwide class actions
which then have the same effect. It's just gonna be
(08:17):
a lot harder to pull that together. I'll give you
one quick example. And on this birthright citizenship issue, I'm
sure you've seen the headlines say, hey, nationwide class action.
You know Judges has now certified it in that case,
and the reason I think it's very ripe for appeal
first to you know, the federal court appellate level called
the circuit and then probably rocket docketed to the US
(08:40):
Supreme Court. For a class action to be properly certified,
you normally have to have what's called this typicality of harm,
meaning you have to have kind of the same kind
of harm, not precisely, but generally through the class of
folks that you've been certified to represent. You've got to
have the same kind of claim that applies to everybody.
(09:02):
And just look at within the issue of immigration and
birthright citizenship, there are so many differences between the circumstances
of the plaintiffs. Like, you're going to have plaintiffs who
are here illegally, you know, when they had children. You're
going to have, you know, all of these different surrounding
circumstances for so many different members of the class. And
(09:27):
that's what's going to make it, I think, much much
harder to keep a class like that together through various
levels of appeal. So it didn't mean to take you
into the woods trying to short circuit it, but that's
the gist of it.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, you will have some legitimate.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Nationwide classes, but it's going to be a lot harder
and a lot more time consuming than just going in
and getting a nationwide injunction from an individual judge for
an individual playoff. All right, let's come back play some
really compelling sound from Mark Rubio as well.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
See if you agree with him on this question.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Favorite Wait a second, you're Catholic and the administration position
on immigration. Isn't that at odds with Catholic teaching. You're
on the Dan Capitla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Democrats are taking They don't want President Corn to be successful.
I got news for him. We are being successful. Every
every illegal alien, public safety threat we arrest makes us
cutry safer. Every national security threat we take off the
street and deport makes us safer. And we're we're rescuing
thousands of children. The lives saved every day by Ice,
the live saved every day by Borg show and are in.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The hundreds so into that, including on this marijuana farm
where they rescued a bunch of children who were essentially
serving as as underage slave labor. There this marijuana farm
in California that's become the latest cause celeb for the
left right trying to interfere with ICE, et cetera, turning
violent three or three seven, one three eight two five
(10:56):
five the number a Texter to da ed and five
seven seven three nine. Ask the penetrating question, Dan, So
it's bad if kids are found at a winery too right?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Question Mark?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Well, sure you should you shouldn't have kids working underage anywhere.
Now we start with that, and then you go to Okay,
some situations are more dangerous than others, there's no question
about that. And the implicit underlying argument here will it, Oh,
you know, marijuana.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Alcohol equally bad.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You know, that's just where the pro drug people go
to hide, because they can't justify legalized marijuana on its
own and all the harms that come from it. They
just run to hide immediately. They scurry like mice behind
behind mom's skirt and mom's skirt.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
The argument they've learned from big marijuana.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Which is in many cases just blood money, right, all
the carnage out there and ruined kids and everything else,
why these so called legal drug dealers get rich. You
know that the argument is all, oh, well, what about alcohol? No, hey,
defend legalized marijuana, just just try to do it on
its own merits. And this text has no interest in
trying to defend all these underage kids, you know, working
(12:10):
in the hot sun on this marijuana farm in California,
kids who happened to be here illegally, by the way.
He has no interest in trying to defend that because
he can't, so he flees to the comfort of alcohol. Yeah, yeah,
that tells you everything you need to know, right three
out three seven one three eight two five five The
number techs DA N five seven seven three nine on
(12:31):
the underlying merits all of that conversation any day of
the week. And that is, first of all, we have
legalized alcohol in this country. That's not going away. That's
the reality. And and but we do not have to
be stuck with legalized marijuana that can go away. And
the push for it nationwide has really slowed down as
(12:53):
the truth about all the carnage has has started to
come out seep out right because so often it's hard
to find it in the which hopes to get rich off.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Of the money from legalized marijuana. But yeah, so we
got a choice here.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We no longer have a choice unlegalized alcohol, which by
the way, I would vote to keep legal, But we
do have a choice when it comes to legalized marijuana,
and there are some important differences. I'm not trying to
minimize the harm from alcohol. I just walked from my
office right now looking at horrific, horrific images of people
killed by a drunk driver.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
You know, I've been.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Representing people in civil cases where drunk drivers murder for
a long long time. So I'm not trying to minimize
that at all. I'm just saying there are some pretty
significant differences, such as, you know, people can drink for
something other than to get high, and the.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Vast majority, and there's no moral judgment here.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I don't think less of any all who uses marijuana,
not at all. That's not a moral issue for me.
The moral issue for me is deciding on a legalization
framework where you know going to ruin a lot of kids,
where you know you are undermining the entire youth population
(14:05):
in this state. You know you are dramatically spiking teen suicides,
you know you're going to cause a lot of carnage
on the roadways. That's what I have a moral issue with,
not whether some adult wants to get high in their home.
Three out three someone three eight, two, five, five, the
number ryan is it? And I have not imbibed with marijuana.
(14:27):
But what I hear and see and I'm told by
experts and users and everything else is when people sit
down to consume THHC. And even in the old Chichenshong
two to four percent leaf days, they sit down to
get high. But now, of course the marijuana industry. It's
all about hook them young, hook them forever, and they
hook everybody right, so they crank the potency up eighty
(14:51):
ninety percent. Yeah, now people sit down to consume marijuana,
they're sitting down to get high. Am I wrong, my friend?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And I am not claiming you are an expert.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Right to me on that one, But no, no, I fig
you're exactly right on this false equivalence that a lot
of people that are pro weed are making, Like, well,
what about alcohol, And like you said, very well, it's
where they go to hide, you know, it doesn't you know,
erase the argument whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
And I don't even understand that comparison.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
You have six seven eight year olds that are the
children of illegal aliens working at an illegal marijuana farm.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I mean, that's kind of a problem.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And it just goes back to the fact the Left
doesn't care at all about illegal immigrants as humans. That
the Left is perfectly willing to have hundreds of thousands
of kids, kids lost to sex trafficking, other kinds of slavery, abuse,
et cetera, hundreds of thousands. The Left doesn't care, and
that's what happened under Biden. They don't care about those kids,
(15:47):
and they showed in so many different ways, including this
California marijuana farm. Tony in Inglewood, Colorado, You're on the
Dan Kapslas Show.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, Dan, I'm not a lawyer, but I play one
on TV, so did I I'm curious this class action
ruling by the judge.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I believe that his language said.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Something to the effect of all persons born and unborn.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Do you know if that's.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
True or not.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'll check that during the break, Tony, Yeah, I'll check
that during the break. That would be fascinating if that's true.
If that's true, didn't he in a way open a.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Can of worms giving human rights to the unborn?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Very perceptive on your part, But no, And I'll give
you a perfect example which just conclusively proves that abortions
the taking of an innocent human life. The law has
recognized that, and everybody knows it, and the left just
doesn't care. It's it's willing to just kill innocent life.
Here it is California. In California, it's capital murder, subjects
(16:59):
you to the death pat if you kill an unborn child.
If you kill an unborn child, I'll double check the law.
I believe it's past seven weeks, and so that just
proves it right, because that law couldn't have lasted a
day unless it was medically true. The law would have
been struck down as unconstitutional. But in California, the same
baby that can be killed legally, I put it in
(17:21):
quotes by an abortionist up till the moment of delivery.
If somebody else kills that child, say in the commission
of an assault on the mother, you know, when the mother,
let's say, is two months pregnant, that's capital murder. Ask
Scott Peterson about that. Yeah, so your point is well taken,
my friend, very well taken. It's interesting round, we don't
(17:43):
hear that that California point made in every single discussion
on abortion. Wait a second, in California for years. You know,
if I remember correctly, and I'm a big fan of
Trail Davis, I have nothing but very positive things to
say about Trail Davis.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
But if I remember correctly, I think it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Was to Terrell Davis's brother, because Terrell Davis overcame that
the great Ronco running back overcame some really challenging circumstances
growing up, and even more reason to admire what he
accomplished and the many became But his brother, if I
remember the facts, right, had been had been I believe,
(18:23):
convicted of during a botched robbery attempt, maybe outside a
post office, maybe hitting a woman in the stomach, didn't
even know she was pregnant, causing the death of her
unborn child, and he faced the murder charge for that.
I believe that was that the seminole case in California.
I'll double check on that. But that tells everything you
(18:44):
need to know about the reality, the factual legal reality
of abortion.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
It's the killing of innocent human life. You're on the
Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Something that you should have that you haven't reported. As
you know, three hundred thousand children are missing, right, three
hundred thousand. Under Biden, we've already gotten back ten thousand
of those children, and we have a lot more plan.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
To come back.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
We're getting it back by the thousands for three hundred thousand,
and we've as of this morning, over ten thousand we've
gotten back.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, So revealing that the left doesn't care at all
about those children, right, just doesn't care about illegal immigrants
as humans in general, and it's proven in so many ways.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
If you just joined us, thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
We're spinning off of the Big Ice raid on the
marijuana farm in California where they found a whole bunch
of kids, very young kids to like eight ninety ten,
where some of them you know, essentially working as slave
labor there or working obviously illegally in in a very
harmful environment for them.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
But life doesn't care about that. Robert in Denver, you're
on the Dan Kaplis Show. Welcome.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
Oh, yes, I know you live. During the pandemic, he
had John MacArthur, the pastor of Great Community Church in California.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You know, I'm trying to remember. Did I have him on?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Yes, he's the guy who would not go into lockdown
and said the church had the right to have the
church under the First Amendment.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, I'm familiar with him, of course, the pastor. I'm
familiar with that story. I just didn't remember having him on,
But a lots happened since then.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Go ahead, my friend, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I remember you had him on twice. Wow. Anyway, he's
the pastor of that church as fourteen thousand members and
gig one that was taken to the Supreme court in
any case, he has a new video out on YouTube
called God's Pathetic Warning about Trump willstunned everyone, and he's
(20:57):
very critical of people who go along with Trump being
something that Christians should compromise their protests about because so
much of his behavior is out of line with anything
that's Christian, and that if there was somebody on the
(21:22):
other side of the political aisle, they would be outraged.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And I haven't seen it, but can you give us
a little more information about the reasoning and the thinking?
Here is the point that this could not have been
divine interventions saving Trump in that Butler field.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Oh no, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is
his point is God uses people, like you know, King
Saul in the Bible, even though he really didn't want
Israel to have a king, and then he used an
Avacan hazard. He uses a lot of people. Just because
(22:05):
he uses someone does not mean that somebody should say
that Christians should support him without being without question, because
so many times today we are seeing Christians mute their
criticism and saying, well, he's doing so much good. I'm
(22:28):
not going to say anything, or I'm not going to
say hardly anything.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
And he says, that's that's not right.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Okay, interesting, Yeah, I'll try to pick that up.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
To me.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's always, you know, the rubber meets the road with
the vote, and in terms of saying stuff, listen, I
think we've probably been the most fair imbalanced to Trump
of anybody. When he deserves criticism, he gets it. When
he deserves praise, he gets it, and so many outlets
won't give him praise when he deserves it. But listening,
in the end, I can tell you what I base
(23:01):
my vote on is the morality of the public policy
that he's going to pursue, rather than what any particular
candidate's personal morality, maybe with some limits, right, I mean,
if a candidate was actually a murderer or a rapist
or an abuser of women or something like that, I
(23:21):
wouldn't vote for him, no matter how good their policies were.
But I'm looking at the morality of their policies.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Well, you know, he of course got into trouble because
of as Daniels there in New York.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh yeah, I don't think, and I think everybody's going
to turn both of us off if we start talking
about Stormy Daniels. But in America spoke loud and clear
on this right, electing President Trump just week after the
Hollywood Access.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Takes, and.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
I voted plane choice.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
But the fact is, you know, like he said he
was going to end or in Ukraine several times, and
before he was inaugurated, he said he was going to
bring inflation down. You know, according to Keplinger and Kelly Books,
Frubook and several others, car prices because of it, there
(24:19):
is wanting to go out. But by the fifteen thousand.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Dollars, well, big fella.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
In terms of Ukraine, he's been working very hard to
do that. He obviously has been forging peace throughout the
Middle East, sometimes through strength and sometimes through the threat
of strength. You're going to sit here and dogham because
Russia the Ukraine isn't settled yet just half a year
into his term. I mean, I don't think that's fair
(24:45):
at all. And when it comes to a Christian and
Christian obligation, everybody has to decide for themselves.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And you know, my view of it is, I.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Didn't betray my Christian faith by voting for Trump. I
would have betrayed my Christian faith by voting for his opponent.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
I'm sure you're right, because John MacArthur says the same thing.
You shouldn't withdraw from the political activism just because you
don't follow him. I'm critically, but the fact is he
may be being used, but at the same time God
(25:26):
may not be policed with the things that he's doing.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
You know, King David, I mean, the greatest figures in history.
I mean, and thank you for the call man, But
and I don't claim to be, you know, the the
theologian biblical scholar out there. I try, I try to understand.
I read or listen to something every day, but I
don't claim to be any kind of scholar, just a
guy trying to figure it out. But even I can see.
(25:51):
You know, God's whole thing has been using broken people, right.
I mean, when he went out for his disciples, you know,
he wasn't going to the rich people, he wasn't going
to the fancy people. You know, He's going out to
the fishermen and everything else. Everybody knows three at three
seven three eight two five five tagst d A N
(26:11):
five seven seven three nine. That's always been one of
the things that's given me great hope is that God
has an affinity right for broken people, as long as
you want to get it right. Dan, if a person
comes to the United States legally and as a legal immigrant,
does having a baby in the United States as a
US citizen changed.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Because of this new law? No? No, it does not.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
And uh, Dan, what's the difference between wacko left and
by the way, the texture was referring by new law
to this class action lawsuit that's now been certified and
is being used by the left as a way to
get around the Supreme Court limit on nationwide injunctions by
district court judges. Dan, what's the difference between wacko leftist
(26:58):
Dems and the kind of damn you sleep with? If
they both vote Democrat? What a penetrating question that is?
I think the big difference is what they believe in
and what they're committed to and what they want to
see happen. So let's take, for example, the Democrat. If
she hasn't become unaffiliated, I'm going to ask her tonight
(27:20):
that I've had the pleasure of sleeping with for thirty
one plus years now, and she breaks with the Democratic
Party on occasion to support Republicans. She has if you
sat down with my wife and you talked about the
things she cares about, the policy she wants to see
and acted, etc. You'd probably agree with her on probably
(27:42):
eighty to ninety percent. Now if you're like me, so, no,
she's not a prisoner of any political party. And this
next statement, I'm not applying to my wife, you know,
but I will say it applies to Democrats more broadly
because I was one for years, and the vast majority
of my family outside of Colorado, like one hundred is Democrat.
We got to understand that they're an awful lot of
(28:04):
people whose view of Republicans. The stereotype is so negative.
It's not like they're voting Democrat because they're really excited
about that. They could just never imagine voting Republican. That
obviously doesn't apply to my wife, A. She has voted
for Republicans, she has worked for some Republicans, and she
knows many people through me who are Republican and she
(28:26):
loves them. But we got to be realistic. There are
so many people out there. They don't just go dancing
joyfully into the voting booth to vote for Democrats. They
just could never imagine voting for Republicans. It's on us
to change that. You're on the Dan Caplis.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Show and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's co O Obama sayah, praierfleur.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Women, we have so many landmines and barriers and don't
send limitations. It's you know, I mean, Craig, you're the
guy at the table. But I think it's important for
all guys listening, especially men raising daughters, to realize that
(29:12):
that that difference.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Barack Obama must be a very happy man. Or quite
the contrary that.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
It was from Clay and Buck that they were referencing
this clip, and it was Clay Travis that was saying,
he's actually feel sorry for Barack Obama, that she must
be absolutely miserable to live with.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
All she does is complain. Listen, listen one of.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
The people, Dan, I know you love her. I don't
know why, but she's terrible. Why would you say this
because you always you're sending me these clips, because.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Because I'm intellectually honest. The only point I make about her,
the only point I make about her is wait a second,
she would be this strongest candidate the Democrats have.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
I believe that lesson less with every word she utters
she Well.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I do think it's fair to say developments over the
last since election date, right, Yeah, I think at that
point her star has dimmed. But listen, she's Oh I
was going to use a politically incorrect phrase, she's still
the tallest among the short, right, I mean she's still
(30:31):
she has undeniable You can say it if you want to.
I'm not saying it. She still has undeniable intellect. She
was gifted. So many people have been gifted with a
strong intellect. I'm just talking about the physical. You know,
the mental capacity, then don't use it to do good things.
(30:53):
But but she has a strong intellect. She was gifted
with health, she was gifted with looks, she was gifted
with great parents, with a lot of opportunity, now gifted
with great wealth. Has led a very pampered life, at
least later in her young life. And so I'm just
(31:14):
recognizing that among let's say that the dull knives.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
In the Democrat drawer.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Okay, she is by far the sharpest, she is intellectually talented,
she has these other attributes. I think she'd be the
best that they have.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I think she is so out of touch and completely
detached from any relatable reality that the average Let's say,
like you, Dan, you're a south Sider.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
She claims to be that too.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
I believe she is so far away from that existence,
from that life. And the thing she complains about, yeah,
is she has Secret Service protection for the rest of
her life, Like you said, a pampered existence that's not
relatable to a South Sider who has to go through
the daily grind, who has to compete with illegal aliens
for jobs.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Here's the difference. I think she's no longer blue collar. No, okay,
I am blue collar now. I mean just as a
person to my core, and I understand I've been blessed
with opportunity and a lot of help along the way
from a lot of good people, and our.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Business has been blessed with success, and I.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Make a good living. I get all of that. But
I know myself and to my core, I am blue collar.
She obviously has gone a different direction, and a lot
of that comes back to what level of respect do
you have for people, you know, for working people. But anyway,
now I'm getting into policy stuff. Here's my bigger point.
(32:42):
What I try to take from that is, you know,
I just tried it. I try to look at myself right,
because we were always raised I've told you, my mom
always told us, first thing, when you wake up in
the morning, think of the five things you're grateful for,
and think of the five things you're looking forward to
that day. So that's how we would first thing in
(33:02):
the morning. And I think that certainly looking at myself.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I can always be more grateful.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And you look at Michelle Obama and you listen to
that tape, and you're not hearing a grateful person, right.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
So I listen to that and I think two things.
I think.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Barack Obama must be playing a lot of golf, and
I need to do a better job of being grateful
for my full time occupation could be being grateful because
I have so much to be grateful for, and I
am grateful. I'm just saying that, you know how there's
like low burn gratitude, you know, kind of remember the
(33:43):
old gas stoves. I think kick and luper and polus
about loud those now, but but you know kind of
low burn gratitude that's always there and then it flames up.
I'm just thinking that we'd all be speaking for myself,
we'd all be a whole lot happier if kind of
like a primary focus was turn that burner all the
way up, because lord knows, just being born in America, right,
(34:05):
I mean literally, we're all lottery winners just being born here.
And then hey, you're talking about Michelle Obama. We were
both born into the wealthiest families in Chicago because of
the love and family structure and support.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Man, Oh, let's hear some more of that. That sure,
And you know how I talk about her all the time,
how I appreciate my wife in a million different ways.
But after this clip, I'm gonna run home and sweep
her off her feet.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
That thing that inadvertently as you were loving and raising
these beautiful girls, there are so many rules, make them
make us small.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I can't wait to get home tonight.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
My wife's gonna think I've been drinking my goodness, rush in,
pick her up, big kiss.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
She deserves it. Oh she does, Thank you, thank you.
Why you're not Michelle.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
I think all the men with the women in their
lives should do that tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yes, we'll play that whole clip.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
My digressions kind of interrupted the flow of that, so
we'll play that whole clip.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
After the break. We've got Oh this text are getting
after me? Holy cow, imagine that. Listen.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
No, but but I mean, Dan quote whole big fella
you say sounds so belittling. Hey, whoa, I just I
was talking to a guy. We just agreed on something
as a whole big fella. Since when is that rough?
And you tell me Ryan, I mean a man can't
sit on his own jury. Has anybody ever treated callers better?
(35:45):

Speaker 2 (00:14):
The start of a.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Glorious summer weekend across the Rocky So if you're listening
to this show in Colorado, A, you're lucky, and B
you're going to have great weather this weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
There may be some.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Pockets of exception across the state, but most of Colorado
is going to have warm and dry and not smoking warm,
not broiling warm, you know, just like upper eighties, low nineties,
kind of warm and dry. So let's favor at three
h three someone three eight two five five the number
text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
A little hot in the White House, I guess earlier
this week.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
At this point doesn't seem to be in dispute that
Dan Bongino may be resigning hasn't yet.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We'll see if that happened, but it appears.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
The President is likely to be lining up behind Pambondi
and Kosh Pttel as well, who both signed on to
closing the Epstein matter at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So where do you want to see all that go? Three?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
All three seven one three A two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
We've got that on the plate and so much more today.
I mean, Jeeves, where do you want to start with
all of this? You know, one of the things I'll
touch on briefly because I think it's part of a
really important broader point, is you know, this this violent
(01:30):
effort now to stop ICE from cracking down on this
marijuana farm in California where they've got all these young
kids working there, and it just and I don't mean
to sound naive, but it just comes back to as
a guy used to be a Democrat, I cannot even
fathom the fact that it is a fact, in my
view that the people who control the Democratic Party at
(01:54):
this point, the vast majority of just don't care about kids.
I'm not talking about your typical Democrat, like the one
I sleep with and have for going on well just
past thirty one years now.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It just had our anniversary.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
But I'm talking about the far left, secular wackos who
control the party. They just don't care about kids. I mean,
they're perfectly happy having all these children as a quote
acceptable casualty rate. That's the way I believe they view them,
whether they're all these kids who are being just I
mean it's straight out of hell right trafficked as they
come up over the border, and all the sexual abuse
(02:30):
and all the essentially slavery, whether it's sexual slavery or
other kinds of slavery like you see on this marijuana
farm in California. But the left and power just doesn't care.
They view so many humans as an acceptable casualty rating.
I believe that's an extension of and possibly a result
of this bizarre slavish commitment to the mass killing of
(02:54):
the unborn before birth. That's become kind of the pillar
and unifier in the Democratic Party. And once you just
decide that, you know, these million plus kids a year
lives don't matter, well then yeah, if you're that the
secular left running the Democratic Party, then in that twisted worldview,
why would these other kids matter? I mean, what's the
difference between these kids there they're willing to see die
(03:18):
other than location right between before birth and after birth.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So it's a real it's a real kind of death cult.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Death you know, this this attitude where innocent death just
doesn't matter as long as the bigger state cause is served. Yeah,
that's sick, dangerous stuff. Three or three seven to one,
three eight, two five five chime in anytime, d an
five seven seven three nine. As you can see, we're
keeping it light on this glorious summer Friday afternoon. We
(03:49):
do have some lighter topics. We just haven't thought them
up yet, but we'll get to them eventually. I do
want to get to some Marco Rubio stuff because as
we're talking about the White House and what's going on
in their internal battles, et cetera, I think it's just
worth a quick note that, you know, twenty eight is
obviously on right now, and I think it's I think
it's so cool because then I'm an optimist by nature,
(04:10):
right and I'm the guy who's been on air for
years telling you, hey.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Don't sweat it.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You know, Trump's going to win and Biden is not
going to be their candidate and it's going to be
a mess, and Trump's going to win, and my optimism
just keeps growing. And as we now are, my goodness,
just on the verge of the one year anniversary, of
the miracle in Butler, I do want to have a
deeper dive conversation over.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
What do you think now? What do you think?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I know we talked about it at the time, and
I said right away, my view is that this was
divine intervention, as we've seen throughout American history at critical
pivotal watershed moments in our history, and as the founder
is believed in. Right, you don't have to guess they
wrote it. They wrote it in the Declaration of Independence. Hey,
we're making this big bet because we're betting, you know
(04:57):
that God is going to help us because of a
We're all going to be hanging from trees. I mean,
that's what they said in the Declaration. They chose a
few different words, but that's what they said. So, now
that you've had a chance to see everything that's happened
in this past year since the assassin, whether the assassin
was sent by Iran or whether the assassin was this
lone wolf for whatever, what do you think you think
(05:20):
it was divine intervention?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And if you believe that, what do you think it
means for the future of America in the world? And
then what do you think the world would look like?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Now if that miracle had not happened, and we all
know by now right, it's no longer disputed. There never
was any legitimate dispute, but it's no longer disputed. If
Trump hadn't turned his head at just that precise instant.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
He's dead.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
He's dead. And what does America? What does the world
look like right now? If that assassin and whoever was
behind that assassin had succeeded.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
All right, we got a lot to do.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I did promo for today, and I will get into
it won't take long, but it's important, this business of Okay,
now that the US Supreme Court is very properly and
great for the Republic, across party line said no, No,
We've got an elected president, elected by the whole people.
And the way the law works is individual district court judges,
except in rare circumstances, can't block the president nationwide. So now,
(06:21):
as we all expected, the left is turning to class
action lawsuits, you know, to try to block the president nationwide.
And I know you're probably driving right now. I don't
want to make your eyes glaze over, so I won't
get deep, deep, deep into Rule twenty three in class
action lawsuit law, which truly, you could go to law
school for three years and spend every day all three
(06:42):
years studying class action law and still not cover everything.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It is that complex. But that's the point.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's the point is it's not going to be that
easy now for the left to just turn to class
action lawsuits because unlike say, going into a particular district
court and filing a lawsuit on behalf of an individual
person slash plaintiff and claiming the president was doing something unconstitutional.
Now you've got to get a whole class certified. And
(07:09):
if you can get a whole class properly underlying that
words certified, well then yeah, then then the court under
the recent US Supreme Court ruling, then the court would
have jurisdiction, you know, to do things that would have
nationwide effect, because presumably you'd have members of your class
all over the country.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
But getting a class certified is not easy. I have
done it. It is not.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Easy, and there are an awful lot of steps you
have to go through. Now I'm sure you're thinking as
you're driving home, you're thinking, well, okay, but you know
what if a judge doesn't hold their feet to the
fire and really require the people pushing this class to
satisfy all the requirements, and then at that point you
know you've got you can bet everything you've got. The
(07:55):
US Supreme Court is going to see through any farce,
and when brought the correct case, is going to put
the hammer down and say, no, it's a farce. That's
a farce that that's just meant to get around our
ruling saying no nationwide injunctions. Now, on the other hand,
you could end up with some legitimate nationwide class actions
which then have the same effect. It's just gonna be
(08:17):
a lot harder to pull that together. I'll give you
one quick example. And on this birthright citizenship issue, I'm
sure you've seen the headlines say, hey, nationwide class action.
You know Judges has now certified it in that case,
and the reason I think it's very ripe for appeal
first to you know, the federal court appellate level called
the circuit and then probably rocket docketed to the US
(08:40):
Supreme Court. For a class action to be properly certified,
you normally have to have what's called this typicality of harm,
meaning you have to have kind of the same kind
of harm, not precisely, but generally through the class of
folks that you've been certified to represent. You've got to
have the same kind of claim that applies to everybody.
(09:02):
And just look at within the issue of immigration and
birthright citizenship, there are so many differences between the circumstances
of the plaintiffs. Like, you're going to have plaintiffs who
are here illegally, you know, when they had children. You're
going to have, you know, all of these different surrounding
circumstances for so many different members of the class. And
(09:27):
that's what's going to make it, I think, much much
harder to keep a class like that together through various
levels of appeal. So it didn't mean to take you
into the woods trying to short circuit it, but that's
the gist of it.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, you will have some legitimate.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Nationwide classes, but it's going to be a lot harder
and a lot more time consuming than just going in
and getting a nationwide injunction from an individual judge for
an individual playoff. All right, let's come back play some
really compelling sound from Mark Rubio as well.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
See if you agree with him on this question.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Favorite Wait a second, you're Catholic and the administration position
on immigration. Isn't that at odds with Catholic teaching. You're
on the Dan Capitla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Democrats are taking They don't want President Corn to be successful.
I got news for him. We are being successful. Every
every illegal alien, public safety threat we arrest makes us
cutry safer. Every national security threat we take off the
street and deport makes us safer. And we're we're rescuing
thousands of children. The lives saved every day by Ice,
the live saved every day by Borg show and are in.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The hundreds so into that, including on this marijuana farm
where they rescued a bunch of children who were essentially
serving as as underage slave labor. There this marijuana farm
in California that's become the latest cause celeb for the
left right trying to interfere with ICE, et cetera, turning
violent three or three seven, one three eight two five
(10:56):
five the number a Texter to da ed and five
seven seven three nine. Ask the penetrating question, Dan, So
it's bad if kids are found at a winery too right?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Question Mark?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Well, sure you should you shouldn't have kids working underage anywhere.
Now we start with that, and then you go to Okay,
some situations are more dangerous than others, there's no question
about that. And the implicit underlying argument here will it, Oh,
you know, marijuana.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Alcohol equally bad.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You know, that's just where the pro drug people go
to hide, because they can't justify legalized marijuana on its
own and all the harms that come from it. They
just run to hide immediately. They scurry like mice behind
behind mom's skirt and mom's skirt.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
The argument they've learned from big marijuana.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Which is in many cases just blood money, right, all
the carnage out there and ruined kids and everything else,
why these so called legal drug dealers get rich. You
know that the argument is all, oh, well, what about alcohol? No, hey,
defend legalized marijuana, just just try to do it on
its own merits. And this text has no interest in
trying to defend all these underage kids, you know, working
(12:10):
in the hot sun on this marijuana farm in California,
kids who happened to be here illegally, by the way.
He has no interest in trying to defend that because
he can't, so he flees to the comfort of alcohol. Yeah, yeah,
that tells you everything you need to know, right three
out three seven one three eight two five five The
number techs DA N five seven seven three nine on
(12:31):
the underlying merits all of that conversation any day of
the week. And that is, first of all, we have
legalized alcohol in this country. That's not going away. That's
the reality. And and but we do not have to
be stuck with legalized marijuana that can go away. And
the push for it nationwide has really slowed down as
(12:53):
the truth about all the carnage has has started to
come out seep out right because so often it's hard
to find it in the which hopes to get rich off.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Of the money from legalized marijuana. But yeah, so we
got a choice here.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We no longer have a choice unlegalized alcohol, which by
the way, I would vote to keep legal, But we
do have a choice when it comes to legalized marijuana,
and there are some important differences. I'm not trying to
minimize the harm from alcohol. I just walked from my
office right now looking at horrific, horrific images of people
killed by a drunk driver.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
You know, I've been.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Representing people in civil cases where drunk drivers murder for
a long long time. So I'm not trying to minimize
that at all. I'm just saying there are some pretty
significant differences, such as, you know, people can drink for
something other than to get high, and the.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Vast majority, and there's no moral judgment here.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I don't think less of any all who uses marijuana,
not at all. That's not a moral issue for me.
The moral issue for me is deciding on a legalization
framework where you know going to ruin a lot of kids,
where you know you are undermining the entire youth population
(14:05):
in this state. You know you are dramatically spiking teen suicides,
you know you're going to cause a lot of carnage
on the roadways. That's what I have a moral issue with,
not whether some adult wants to get high in their home.
Three out three someone three eight, two, five, five, the
number ryan is it? And I have not imbibed with marijuana.
(14:27):
But what I hear and see and I'm told by
experts and users and everything else is when people sit
down to consume THHC. And even in the old Chichenshong
two to four percent leaf days, they sit down to
get high. But now, of course the marijuana industry. It's
all about hook them young, hook them forever, and they
hook everybody right, so they crank the potency up eighty
(14:51):
ninety percent. Yeah, now people sit down to consume marijuana,
they're sitting down to get high. Am I wrong, my friend?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And I am not claiming you are an expert.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Right to me on that one, But no, no, I fig
you're exactly right on this false equivalence that a lot
of people that are pro weed are making, Like, well,
what about alcohol, And like you said, very well, it's
where they go to hide, you know, it doesn't you know,
erase the argument whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
And I don't even understand that comparison.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
You have six seven eight year olds that are the
children of illegal aliens working at an illegal marijuana farm.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I mean, that's kind of a problem.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And it just goes back to the fact the Left
doesn't care at all about illegal immigrants as humans. That
the Left is perfectly willing to have hundreds of thousands
of kids, kids lost to sex trafficking, other kinds of slavery, abuse,
et cetera, hundreds of thousands. The Left doesn't care, and
that's what happened under Biden. They don't care about those kids,
(15:47):
and they showed in so many different ways, including this
California marijuana farm. Tony in Inglewood, Colorado, You're on the
Dan Kapslas Show.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, Dan, I'm not a lawyer, but I play one
on TV, so did I I'm curious this class action
ruling by the judge.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I believe that his language said.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Something to the effect of all persons born and unborn.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Do you know if that's.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
True or not.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'll check that during the break, Tony, Yeah, I'll check
that during the break. That would be fascinating if that's true.
If that's true, didn't he in a way open a.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Can of worms giving human rights to the unborn?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Very perceptive on your part, But no, And I'll give
you a perfect example which just conclusively proves that abortions
the taking of an innocent human life. The law has
recognized that, and everybody knows it, and the left just
doesn't care. It's it's willing to just kill innocent life.
Here it is California. In California, it's capital murder, subjects
(16:59):
you to the death pat if you kill an unborn child.
If you kill an unborn child, I'll double check the law.
I believe it's past seven weeks, and so that just
proves it right, because that law couldn't have lasted a
day unless it was medically true. The law would have
been struck down as unconstitutional. But in California, the same
baby that can be killed legally, I put it in
(17:21):
quotes by an abortionist up till the moment of delivery.
If somebody else kills that child, say in the commission
of an assault on the mother, you know, when the mother,
let's say, is two months pregnant, that's capital murder. Ask
Scott Peterson about that. Yeah, so your point is well taken,
my friend, very well taken. It's interesting round, we don't
(17:43):
hear that that California point made in every single discussion
on abortion. Wait a second, in California for years. You know,
if I remember correctly, and I'm a big fan of
Trail Davis, I have nothing but very positive things to
say about Trail Davis.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
But if I remember correctly, I think it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Was to Terrell Davis's brother, because Terrell Davis overcame that
the great Ronco running back overcame some really challenging circumstances
growing up, and even more reason to admire what he
accomplished and the many became But his brother, if I
remember the facts, right, had been had been I believe,
(18:23):
convicted of during a botched robbery attempt, maybe outside a
post office, maybe hitting a woman in the stomach, didn't
even know she was pregnant, causing the death of her
unborn child, and he faced the murder charge for that.
I believe that was that the seminole case in California.
I'll double check on that. But that tells everything you
(18:44):
need to know about the reality, the factual legal reality
of abortion.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
It's the killing of innocent human life. You're on the
Dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Something that you should have that you haven't reported. As
you know, three hundred thousand children are missing, right, three
hundred thousand. Under Biden, we've already gotten back ten thousand
of those children, and we have a lot more plan.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
To come back.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
We're getting it back by the thousands for three hundred thousand,
and we've as of this morning, over ten thousand we've
gotten back.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, So revealing that the left doesn't care at all
about those children, right, just doesn't care about illegal immigrants
as humans in general, and it's proven in so many ways.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
If you just joined us, thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
We're spinning off of the Big Ice raid on the
marijuana farm in California where they found a whole bunch
of kids, very young kids to like eight ninety ten,
where some of them you know, essentially working as slave
labor there or working obviously illegally in in a very
harmful environment for them.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
But life doesn't care about that. Robert in Denver, you're
on the Dan Kaplis Show. Welcome.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
Oh, yes, I know you live. During the pandemic, he
had John MacArthur, the pastor of Great Community Church in California.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You know, I'm trying to remember. Did I have him on?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Yes, he's the guy who would not go into lockdown
and said the church had the right to have the
church under the First Amendment.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, I'm familiar with him, of course, the pastor. I'm
familiar with that story. I just didn't remember having him on,
But a lots happened since then.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Go ahead, my friend, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I remember you had him on twice. Wow. Anyway, he's
the pastor of that church as fourteen thousand members and
gig one that was taken to the Supreme court in
any case, he has a new video out on YouTube
called God's Pathetic Warning about Trump willstunned everyone, and he's
(20:57):
very critical of people who go along with Trump being
something that Christians should compromise their protests about because so
much of his behavior is out of line with anything
that's Christian, and that if there was somebody on the
(21:22):
other side of the political aisle, they would be outraged.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And I haven't seen it, but can you give us
a little more information about the reasoning and the thinking?
Here is the point that this could not have been
divine interventions saving Trump in that Butler field.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Oh no, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is
his point is God uses people, like you know, King
Saul in the Bible, even though he really didn't want
Israel to have a king, and then he used an
Avacan hazard. He uses a lot of people. Just because
(22:05):
he uses someone does not mean that somebody should say
that Christians should support him without being without question, because
so many times today we are seeing Christians mute their
criticism and saying, well, he's doing so much good. I'm
(22:28):
not going to say anything, or I'm not going to
say hardly anything.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
And he says, that's that's not right.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Okay, interesting, Yeah, I'll try to pick that up.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
To me.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's always, you know, the rubber meets the road with
the vote, and in terms of saying stuff, listen, I
think we've probably been the most fair imbalanced to Trump
of anybody. When he deserves criticism, he gets it. When
he deserves praise, he gets it, and so many outlets
won't give him praise when he deserves it. But listening,
in the end, I can tell you what I base
(23:01):
my vote on is the morality of the public policy
that he's going to pursue, rather than what any particular
candidate's personal morality, maybe with some limits, right, I mean,
if a candidate was actually a murderer or a rapist
or an abuser of women or something like that, I
(23:21):
wouldn't vote for him, no matter how good their policies were.
But I'm looking at the morality of their policies.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Well, you know, he of course got into trouble because
of as Daniels there in New York.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh yeah, I don't think, and I think everybody's going
to turn both of us off if we start talking
about Stormy Daniels. But in America spoke loud and clear
on this right, electing President Trump just week after the
Hollywood Access.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Takes, and.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
I voted plane choice.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
But the fact is, you know, like he said he
was going to end or in Ukraine several times, and
before he was inaugurated, he said he was going to
bring inflation down. You know, according to Keplinger and Kelly Books,
Frubook and several others, car prices because of it, there
(24:19):
is wanting to go out. But by the fifteen thousand.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Dollars, well, big fella.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
In terms of Ukraine, he's been working very hard to
do that. He obviously has been forging peace throughout the
Middle East, sometimes through strength and sometimes through the threat
of strength. You're going to sit here and dogham because
Russia the Ukraine isn't settled yet just half a year
into his term. I mean, I don't think that's fair
(24:45):
at all. And when it comes to a Christian and
Christian obligation, everybody has to decide for themselves.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And you know, my view of it is, I.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Didn't betray my Christian faith by voting for Trump. I
would have betrayed my Christian faith by voting for his opponent.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
I'm sure you're right, because John MacArthur says the same thing.
You shouldn't withdraw from the political activism just because you
don't follow him. I'm critically, but the fact is he
may be being used, but at the same time God
(25:26):
may not be policed with the things that he's doing.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
You know, King David, I mean, the greatest figures in history.
I mean, and thank you for the call man, But
and I don't claim to be, you know, the the
theologian biblical scholar out there. I try, I try to understand.
I read or listen to something every day, but I
don't claim to be any kind of scholar, just a
guy trying to figure it out. But even I can see.
(25:51):
You know, God's whole thing has been using broken people, right.
I mean, when he went out for his disciples, you know,
he wasn't going to the rich people, he wasn't going
to the fancy people. You know, He's going out to
the fishermen and everything else. Everybody knows three at three
seven three eight two five five tagst d A N
(26:11):
five seven seven three nine. That's always been one of
the things that's given me great hope is that God
has an affinity right for broken people, as long as
you want to get it right. Dan, if a person
comes to the United States legally and as a legal immigrant,
does having a baby in the United States as a
US citizen changed.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Because of this new law? No? No, it does not.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
And uh, Dan, what's the difference between wacko left and
by the way, the texture was referring by new law
to this class action lawsuit that's now been certified and
is being used by the left as a way to
get around the Supreme Court limit on nationwide injunctions by
district court judges. Dan, what's the difference between wacko leftist
(26:58):
Dems and the kind of damn you sleep with? If
they both vote Democrat? What a penetrating question that is?
I think the big difference is what they believe in
and what they're committed to and what they want to
see happen. So let's take, for example, the Democrat. If
she hasn't become unaffiliated, I'm going to ask her tonight
(27:20):
that I've had the pleasure of sleeping with for thirty
one plus years now, and she breaks with the Democratic
Party on occasion to support Republicans. She has if you
sat down with my wife and you talked about the
things she cares about, the policy she wants to see
and acted, etc. You'd probably agree with her on probably
(27:42):
eighty to ninety percent. Now if you're like me, so, no,
she's not a prisoner of any political party. And this
next statement, I'm not applying to my wife, you know,
but I will say it applies to Democrats more broadly
because I was one for years, and the vast majority
of my family outside of Colorado, like one hundred is Democrat.
We got to understand that they're an awful lot of
(28:04):
people whose view of Republicans. The stereotype is so negative.
It's not like they're voting Democrat because they're really excited
about that. They could just never imagine voting Republican. That
obviously doesn't apply to my wife, A. She has voted
for Republicans, she has worked for some Republicans, and she
knows many people through me who are Republican and she
(28:26):
loves them. But we got to be realistic. There are
so many people out there. They don't just go dancing
joyfully into the voting booth to vote for Democrats. They
just could never imagine voting for Republicans. It's on us
to change that. You're on the Dan Caplis.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Show and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's co O Obama sayah, praierfleur.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Women, we have so many landmines and barriers and don't
send limitations. It's you know, I mean, Craig, you're the
guy at the table. But I think it's important for
all guys listening, especially men raising daughters, to realize that
(29:12):
that that difference.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Barack Obama must be a very happy man. Or quite
the contrary that.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
It was from Clay and Buck that they were referencing
this clip, and it was Clay Travis that was saying,
he's actually feel sorry for Barack Obama, that she must
be absolutely miserable to live with.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
All she does is complain. Listen, listen one of.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
The people, Dan, I know you love her. I don't
know why, but she's terrible. Why would you say this
because you always you're sending me these clips, because.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Because I'm intellectually honest. The only point I make about her,
the only point I make about her is wait a second,
she would be this strongest candidate the Democrats have.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
I believe that lesson less with every word she utters
she Well.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I do think it's fair to say developments over the
last since election date, right, Yeah, I think at that
point her star has dimmed. But listen, she's Oh I
was going to use a politically incorrect phrase, she's still
the tallest among the short, right, I mean she's still
(30:31):
she has undeniable You can say it if you want to.
I'm not saying it. She still has undeniable intellect. She
was gifted. So many people have been gifted with a
strong intellect. I'm just talking about the physical. You know,
the mental capacity, then don't use it to do good things.
(30:53):
But but she has a strong intellect. She was gifted
with health, she was gifted with looks, she was gifted
with great parents, with a lot of opportunity, now gifted
with great wealth. Has led a very pampered life, at
least later in her young life. And so I'm just
(31:14):
recognizing that among let's say that the dull knives.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
In the Democrat drawer.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Okay, she is by far the sharpest, she is intellectually talented,
she has these other attributes. I think she'd be the
best that they have.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I think she is so out of touch and completely
detached from any relatable reality that the average Let's say,
like you, Dan, you're a south Sider.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
She claims to be that too.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
I believe she is so far away from that existence,
from that life. And the thing she complains about, yeah,
is she has Secret Service protection for the rest of
her life, Like you said, a pampered existence that's not
relatable to a South Sider who has to go through
the daily grind, who has to compete with illegal aliens
for jobs.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Here's the difference. I think she's no longer blue collar. No, okay,
I am blue collar now. I mean just as a
person to my core, and I understand I've been blessed
with opportunity and a lot of help along the way
from a lot of good people, and our.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Business has been blessed with success, and I.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Make a good living. I get all of that. But
I know myself and to my core, I am blue collar.
She obviously has gone a different direction, and a lot
of that comes back to what level of respect do
you have for people, you know, for working people. But anyway,
now I'm getting into policy stuff. Here's my bigger point.
(32:42):
What I try to take from that is, you know,
I just tried it. I try to look at myself right,
because we were always raised I've told you, my mom
always told us, first thing, when you wake up in
the morning, think of the five things you're grateful for,
and think of the five things you're looking forward to
that day. So that's how we would first thing in
(33:02):
the morning. And I think that certainly looking at myself.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I can always be more grateful.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And you look at Michelle Obama and you listen to
that tape, and you're not hearing a grateful person, right.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
So I listen to that and I think two things.
I think.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Barack Obama must be playing a lot of golf, and
I need to do a better job of being grateful
for my full time occupation could be being grateful because
I have so much to be grateful for, and I
am grateful. I'm just saying that, you know how there's
like low burn gratitude, you know, kind of remember the
(33:43):
old gas stoves. I think kick and luper and polus
about loud those now, but but you know kind of
low burn gratitude that's always there and then it flames up.
I'm just thinking that we'd all be speaking for myself,
we'd all be a whole lot happier if kind of
like a primary focus was turn that burner all the
way up, because lord knows, just being born in America, right,
(34:05):
I mean literally, we're all lottery winners just being born here.
And then hey, you're talking about Michelle Obama. We were
both born into the wealthiest families in Chicago because of
the love and family structure and support.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Man, Oh, let's hear some more of that. That sure,
And you know how I talk about her all the time,
how I appreciate my wife in a million different ways.
But after this clip, I'm gonna run home and sweep
her off her feet.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
That thing that inadvertently as you were loving and raising
these beautiful girls, there are so many rules, make them
make us small.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I can't wait to get home tonight.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
My wife's gonna think I've been drinking my goodness, rush in,
pick her up, big kiss.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
She deserves it. Oh she does, Thank you, thank you.
Why you're not Michelle.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
I think all the men with the women in their
lives should do that tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yes, we'll play that whole clip.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
My digressions kind of interrupted the flow of that, so
we'll play that whole clip.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
After the break. We've got Oh this text are getting
after me? Holy cow, imagine that. Listen.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
No, but but I mean, Dan quote whole big fella
you say sounds so belittling. Hey, whoa, I just I
was talking to a guy. We just agreed on something
as a whole big fella. Since when is that rough?
And you tell me Ryan, I mean a man can't
sit on his own jury. Has anybody ever treated callers better?
(35:45):
Den't talk radio now with more kindness. You're on the
Dan Kaplo Show.
