Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Yeah, we better
keep fighting, right, especially after last night. I have to
say decades on air last night and today the follow
(00:22):
up some of the most clarifying hours that I've had
about where we are in Colorado, where we are in America,
where we need to go, how we're going to get there.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I just think so much came together last night, which
is weird, right for a relatively slow election night. Obviously,
the tip of the spear was Mom Donnie, but that
wasn't everything because we also had what happened in Colorado,
and nothing in Colorado was particularly er shaken. But when
you take it all together, no question, we've reached our
(00:53):
deepest shade of blue ever in Colorado. So how do
we keep the flame all because the roadback in Colorado
right now is going to be so hard, going to
be so hard. You know, there's always a chance, right
because of divine intervention. The founders bet on that and
the founders want and the world won because they bet
on divine intervention. But it's going to take that sort
(01:16):
of thing right now for that GOP breakthrough. But I'd
like your take on how do you keep the flame
alive in Colorado right now? Because to me, that's the
single biggest thing is despair is a sin, and if
you don't happen to be religious, despair is stupid and
lazy and weak. We don't have the luxury of despair,
and we certainly don't have the right to give up.
(01:38):
It would be a moral to give up because the
kind of policies we're up against in Colorado, in many
cases they're just flat evil. And I'm not saying we're
up against evil people, but we're up against evil things
they do. So we don't have that luxury. So the
key thing I think is keeping the flame alive. You know,
keeping the GOP is the mechanism in Colorado for opposing
(02:01):
the Dems and is right on a lot of stuff ideologically,
how do you keep that organization alive? How do you
keep that flame burning? How do you then just incrementally
worked your way back until there is that chance to win?
And what will it take for that chance to win,
to come around again. So I love your take on
all of that in Colorado. Bottom line message is I
(02:24):
can't give up, don't have a right to. I don't
have that option, but really have to be smart right
now because it's an even tougher, steeper mountain to climb
now nationally as predicted. And and he he just made
me look so good last night, Mom Donnie with that
wild eyed concession speech. People say, Mom Donnie gave a
(02:46):
victory speech last night. He did not. He gave a
concession speech. The type of speech he gave is an
admission that he has already failed and that New York
is going to fail under his leader in quotes, and
that he's going to be viewed as a failure in
typical terms. You don't give an angry, divisive, attacking speech
(03:09):
like that unless you know you have already failed and
you're just trying to prop yourself up in socialist circles
around the world. And that's exactly what Mom Donnie was
trying to do last night. He'll blame the failure in
the end on Islamophobia, on racism, on all sorts of
other stuff, Whereas the truth is he led that failure
(03:32):
last night. If somebody really cared about the people in
New York and they had just run the mayor's race,
and they wanted the best for the people of New York,
and they wanted the term to be a success in
the way almost everybody measures success, they would have given
the opposite of the speech he gave last night. They
would have given a unifying, strong, but unified type speech.
They would have said, you know, President Trump, we disagree
(03:54):
on many things, but we agree on love of country.
We agree on love of New York. You've spent so
much time here. Let's work together in every way we
can to benefit New York. No, bringer, right, that's what
he would have said. Not quite. How about cut fifteen, Ryan,
Let's ease into it with cut fifteen.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city
built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight,
led by an immigrant.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to
get to any of us, you will have to get
through all of us.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So that's a great way to help the people of
New York. Right, All that federal money in New York's
dependent on yep. Pick a fight with the president of
the US. So the second he did that, Donnie was
sentencing the people of New York to a very bad
four years and he knew it, but he doesn't care.
All he cares about is himself elevating his own stature.
(05:09):
So when he uses that moment, when so many New
Yorkers have gullibly voted for him to try to make
their own situation better, when he chooses to use that
moment to make their situation worse so he can elevate himself,
elevate himself to Trump's level in his mind by now
making himself the prime challenger to Donald Trump. He knew
he was screwing all these New Yorkers, but he doesn't care.
(05:32):
Right one of these socialist leaders ever really cared. But
just in case there was any doubt about what his
real goal was last night and it wasn't. The people
in New York cut their team please, Ryan and mont
Donnie had four words for Donald Trump, and they weren't
helped the people of New York.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
So, Donald Trump, since I know you're watching.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I have four words for you. Turn the volume up.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, how is that going to help the people of
New York? Of course, it's not. So we get a
double win with Mom Donnie. We get to open the
eyes of a lot of Democrats nationwide to what the
Democratic Party has become, because that they're good people, These
bad Democrat voters, many of them who just don't pay
that much attention. They vote out of habit and stereotype
(06:24):
of Republicans. But now there's no question the leader of
their party is an unapologetic, very angry socialist and many
people think of communists. That's the leader of their party,
and that's going to open the eyes of a lot
of Democrats. But he's also harmless. He's also harmless. He's
the Canarian. The coal mine is Mom Donnie. He's obviously
(06:46):
such a petulant, immature, you know, egotistical, angry little man,
that he doesn't pose any kind of threat. That the
real threat is one of these committed socialist slash communists
who really is committed to the cause of socialism and
communism and they're able to wrap themselves up in a
(07:11):
nice package. That's who can really do this nation damage.
That's not Mom Donnie, but you can picture it, you know,
you picture that super attractive young guy or Gale. It
could be somebody Mum Donnie's age. He's an attractive person,
but it's somebody who's accomplished in life. Mo'm Donnie, as
far as I can tell, has never really held a job.
(07:32):
Maybe I missed something, but somebody who's really accomplished in life.
It could be somebody who's been a star teacher or
comes out of the military, or somebody who has done
great as an entrepreneur. But they're really deeply committed to socialism.
But they're smart enough, and I put that in quotes,
you know, to kind of conceal it and wrap it
(07:52):
up and dress it up, and then they're able to
have a big national impact. Not Mom Donnie is not
going to succeed nationally in anything other than glorifying Mom Donnie.
And then of course I think he's more concerned with
the worldwide stage and socialist around the world admiring him.
(08:12):
So we'll get to some more of that sound. Even
Van Jones on CNN acknowledged, Hey, that didn't make any sense, Ryan,
could we have a little of Van on Cup twenty one?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
But I think he missed an opportunity. I think the
Mom Donnie that we saw in the campaign trail, who
was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer,
who was a lot more embracing, was not present in
that speech, and I think that Mom Donnie is the
one you need to hear from tonight. There are a
lot of people trying to figure out can I get
(08:42):
on this train.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
With him or not?
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Is he going to include me? Is he is he
going to be more of a class warrior even in office.
I think he missed a camp tonight to open up
and bring more people into the tent.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I think its tone was sharp.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I think he was using the microphone in a way
that he was almost yelling. And that's not the Mom
Donny that we've seen on TikTok and the great interviews
and stuff like that. So I felt like it was
a little bit of a character switch here where the warm, open,
embracing guy that's close to working people was not on
stage night, and there was some other voice on stage.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
He's very young, and he just pulled off something's very
very difficult, and I wouldn't write him off, but I
think he missed an opportunity to open himself up tonight,
and I think that that will probably cost him going forward.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
See that's why I enjoy watching Van Jones because while
we disagree politically on everything, there's some real intellectual honesty
there and he's willing to come out and speak truth
like that. And yeah, so bottom line, Mom, Donnie, grateful
Republicans nationwide and he is not a threat nationwide. Look
(09:54):
out for though, look out for those committed socialists like him,
committed communist, and look out for those who are smarter
than he is, more accomplished in their past than he is,
are able to hide it better and not so flaming angry.
What about Colorado? Obviously the Democrats socialist wing of the
(10:18):
Democratic Party is winning in Colorado. Do you see anybody
in Colorado who might be that kind of figure who
can dress up the socialism and pull it off? And
how do we stop that? You're on the dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
And now back to the Dankaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Was last night game changing? Earth shattering? Or just a
good night? No more than just a good night?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Because what happened here was Trump was on the ballot
basically everywhere. He couldn't campaign anywhere for even the candidates
he wanted to, because his approval is really tanking. He says,
the shutdown in his comment, well, guess what, the voters
are blaming him for the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Also, so what this is is a reset.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Really, it's an opening, a huge opening for Democrats all
over the country. And also, let's be blunt, as a Democrat,
we were kind of in the wilderness in the first
few months of the Trump era. We were stumbling about
kind and we were stumbling about. But this is not
only a shot in the arm, it's it's literally the
evidence that we can now go on the offensive, that
(11:24):
we have a message that works. And I think Zora
in particular, this was a kitchen table campaign. It's so funny.
There was no identity politics, there was no social issues.
It was the rent, It was how you pay for food,
it was how you get to work. It was all
these really basic things that I think I'm going to
help democrats, Democrats get back to working class in.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
The middle class voters, or keep talking that way, keep
talking that way, keep talking dirty, build de plazio. This
is exactly what I predicted yesterday, which is yet the
new face of the Democratic Party is an angry, unrepentant,
unapologetic socialist. How is that going to help you nationally
build a Blasio, and he talks about kitchen table issues
(12:04):
like how are you going to pay the rent? Et cetera. Right,
But when the solution is socialism is income redistribution, We're
going to take the money from that guy over there
and we're going to give it to you. Guess what.
That's not going to play many places outside of New
York City. So that's great, Build a Blasio, please, and
Democratic Party convince yourselves this is the winning message, because
(12:28):
if it's possible for you to crash and burn any
worse than you already have, you will. And please build
the Blasio. The whole darn party. Believe that what worked
in New York is going to work everywhere else. And
I heard Mom Donnie refer to this a million Muslims
in New York. I don't know if that number is
(12:49):
accurate or not he used that number. You know, I
don't think that's the case most places in American people
are going to vote hardcore lefty politics like New York
not the case where most people are going to vote.
And so the belief that what worked in New York
and think about that context. Of course, what happened in
(13:09):
New York, Mam Donnie was running against a corrupt, scandalized,
rejected Cuomo and dead in the water Adams and a
Republican who couldn't win but wouldn't get out of the
race and help pave the way for Mom Donnie. How
many Democrats are going to end up in that kind
of scenario. And so yeah, please do believe that's what's
(13:34):
going to work nationwide. And let me go back to
the point. And I'll get to the phone lines in
a second, but let me go back to the point
about the million Muslims. My point there is simply this
that you had a dynamic, you know, such as when
the Irish in Chicago, you know the Irish, and I'm
one hundred percent Irish, we elected an awful lot of
Irish to office. In this case, you had that dynamic
(13:56):
where Mam Donnie is a Muslim and you have a
lot of Muslim voters in New York, and Mom Dommy
had an awful lot of Muslim support. So you have
a lot of unusual dynamics that work in New York
that aren't going to apply anywhere else. But the Democrats
will believe that they will, and that'll be a good
thing for those seeking to defeat them. Let's get to
(14:18):
the phone lines. We'll go to a beautiful count of
for Colorado. Talk to Grant, who fortunately disagrees with me. Grant,
you're on the dan Kaplis. She'll welcome, right.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
Man, It's not that I disagree with you. It's just
that I've listened all day to uh prominent with right
right me podcasters your host. But I've kind of dismiss
this win to a huge, huge error. I don't think
that people are fully grasping the actual signal.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Of that game.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
For what he is I follow a lot of things,
UH kind of understand how on the street type recordings
all across the world al Jacia, Ireland, Northern Europe, on
and on and on, and this this was literally ringing
a knockout bell New York City. And all I hear
(15:20):
is I listened to Ryan's podcast. There there was there
diet water and say that you know, this isn't anything
to worry about, but this is this right there was
a wind battle cry there ever was one whatever he
does beyond this that right there and as people packing
their bags's rallying up and now you've got the milking
(15:40):
pot of the world, New York City, on fire to
push this thing as far as it could go. And
whether Mondomi can handle whatever he's rallied or not. He
doesn't that that speech last night that he did or
this whatever, it was the victory speech. And you said
it wasn't you know, becoming it.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
He wasn't.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
He wasn't meant to be. That was that was a
battle of drag.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, but Grant, we all know he's going to fail
as mayor. We all know his policies are going to fail.
They've never worked anywhere in the world in human history,
so there's no reason to believe they're going to work
in New York. My point was his speech last night
wasn't a victory speech. It was a concession speech. He
knows he's going to fail, not going to be able
(16:29):
to pay for all this, going to run out the
high earners, run out the employers. So how do you
see how do you see this spreading out of New
York when when it's going to fail in New York.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
It's it's it's it's not that it's going to fail,
it's it's intended to do exactly what it was designed
to do, to bring the system down. And that's what
my problem is with Republicans right now is because they're
not listening to the message. They're not saying we're trying
to build something better. They're saying, we're trying to tear
this thing down. Jack. They're standing in front of you,
(17:05):
and nobody is young on the right and the prominent
scenarios they're dismissing all this stuffy AOC's all the people
that are up at the top. When they're telling you
what they're going to do, you need to listen. And
that last night was big yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But the point, I'm sorry, Grant, The point is that
very few places in America will the voters buy that. Now,
hardcore New York A guy like Mom, Donnie, you know,
perfect storm, weak opponents, he's able to pull it off.
And you're welcome to stay, my friend, because I'm so
grateful that you've called to disagree. But where else in
(17:41):
America out of maybe two or three already deep blue places,
is this kind of open socialism going to work in
a campaign. I don't think it is. And Democrats across
the country are going to adopt this message and it's
only going to bury them and help Republicans. You're on
the damecare Show.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
How in a New York statement.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Where the more than one million Muslims know that they
belong not just in the five boroughs of the city,
but in the halls of power. No more will New
York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia
(18:37):
and win an election.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Too bad. He doesn't care about those million Muslims or
anybody else in New York, because if he did, he
would have given the opposite of the speech he gave
last night, Because he gave a speech which was intended
intended to hurt the people of New York while elevating him.
So very very sad. But it's going to be good
(19:02):
for the nation every now and then, I think at
the paraphrasing George Will, you know that the nation needs
to see an active experience of socialism and see it
fail miserably as it inevitably will, and then the nation
is reminded, Yeah, socialism sucks, and so we're going to
all get to see that in New York. But yeah,
do not even trying to hide it. That's why I
(19:23):
call it a concession speech last night, not a victory
speech because he knows he's going to fail. He knows
he's not going to be able to deliver on his promises.
He knows he's going to drive out job creators and
high earners. He knows all of that. So he's already
planning the seeds to blame it on racism and Islamophobia.
If he wanted to succeed, he would have done a unifying, strong,
(19:45):
but unifying speech at President Trump, we disagree on a lot,
but we share a love of New York. Let's work
together to help New York any way we can. Instead,
he comes out and he bates Trump and taunts Trump
every way imaginable. How's that going to help the million
Muslims living in New York, many of whom would probably
benefit from federal money. How's that going to help New York?
(20:06):
It's not, and he knows that. So this guy's a
cartoonish figure and he's all upside to the GOP. He
poses no threat nationwide. But look out for the smarter
socialist who actually have accomplishments in their life and they
can dress it up better. Yeah, look out for those people,
(20:28):
because they're common, including here in Colorado three or three
seven one three, two five five. Let's go to Jay
and Wheatridge. You're on the dan Kaplis.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Sh'll welcome Jay, Hey Dan, Well, yeah, me too. I
guess sort of something the Democrats that was not a
lost from the Democrats, that was not a constant speech.
They're getting their foot bigger and bigger indoor and shame
(20:56):
with Colorado. They're just going the wrong direction and with
no end in sight. I don't really know why you
have such rose colored glasses, but I wish the heck
you'd loan them to me. I don't see things like that, but.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You do sound a little bound.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Jay.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Well, when I listened to that, I've listened to you
since the Craig Silberman days. I used to really hate
calling in because you didn't want to talk show. Well,
back then, you got so much better. That's a compliment.
You really are doing it much better. I could never
get a word in Edge Boys before, and that was
(21:36):
way back way back when you actually have conversations. Nowadays,
you never did. You're very good. I love your show now.
But anyways, Tommy, he's a huge win for Muslims. He's
a huge win for Muslims. He's a huge win for communists.
He's just a gigantic win for the Democrats, which aren't
(21:56):
democrats anymore except the rare, rare, rare ones like but
one in a thousand of the best. It's a huge
win for them, and they.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Know, happy, happy, Jake, tell me this. Where else in
America is that going to work?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Colorado?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Okay? Fine? Where that? That's not going to be enough
to win the White House for them? Where else?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Well, the White House isn't exactly you know when it's
it's not a it's a when. Eventually, probably they keep
they've started getting their foot door since the twenties, more
and more and more and more and more when Democrats
got taken over by socialists and now communists, and they're
they're gaining ground.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
The White House is the big enchilada. So where the
White House US? And those are the two big enchiladas.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
So where think China?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Else is this going to work? Okay, it'll work in China,
it'll work in Colorado.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
That's not what I meant in this my point. China,
they think long game. For a young country, they think
they're thinking of the long game. They're not thinking tomorrow
or next collection. They're looking at the long game and
the love.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
If I prove you wrong? Oh do you mind if
I prove your wrong?
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Never, friend, I'll be honest with you. I had never
in my life, not once, whatever, and I listened to
you most of every chance. You did too. I think
you never in my life heard you say you were wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'll say it was wrong. Oh you got to listen more.
I said I was wrong last week, but I was
wrong about that. I was wrong about wrong. Ryan. Do
you remember what that was last week when I said
I was wrong?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
See you Buff's prediction.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Ah, that's right. I had him beating Utah and I
had the Buffs beating Utah and they lost like fifty.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Yeah, I'm not sure looking at that.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
But Jay, if we could get back to kind of
my seminal questions, yes, let's do that. Where else in
America is mom, Donnie? Is that going to work? Colorado?
Fair enough?
Speaker 9 (23:58):
Colora, La?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Maybe Chicago, but these already deep blue pockets. All it's
going to do is is make it easier for the
GOP to wing swings. It wins swing states.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
There are disease and diseases have a way of spreading.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
And getting wiped out. I mean twenty wasn't close. Twenty
four wasn't close. Twenty four wasn't close.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
They can wipe out a greater portion of the population
before someone finds a cure.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah yet, but we haven't seen that water. But the
argument that does is election day. The argument that does
hold water is election Day twenty four, election Day sixteen,
election date twenty That was a COVID aberration. But well,
my friend, I wish I could find a way to
(24:49):
cheer you up, but I think at this point, no,
I just don't have the words.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
There's always a rosy and cherry about it's but it's
not true. It's you're a great guy, and I wish
I had your morals and your your self discipline and
all those things you have keep going are amazing to me.
I wish I'm serious as a heart attack. I wish
I were more like you in those ways. You are
an amazing man. I wish the hell you were the
(25:16):
governor of Colorado. I wish you'd run. I think if
you wear I wish step for years. I think, on
the other hand, without any power, you look for the
best of the best possible, and you don't necessarily get
the real picture. I love you dearly man. There is
(25:37):
probably no better Christian ownerth than I. I'm all about
Jesus and God and everything else, and I hate what's
going on with a lot of this stuff. But come on, brother,
they're getting their put deeper and deeper in, and they're
getting stronger and stronger hold it's getting ugly. It takes
as probably actually God to step in. And that decades, years,
(26:01):
thousands of years.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Millennial, milliseconds. It could happen in milliseconds, right that that's
what the founders bet everything on, right, and they bet
right with reliance on divine providence. We pledged you our lives,
our fortunes, our sacred honor. As you know, that's the
end of the Declaration of Independence. They walk the talk,
and they bet right.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
And here's something different than than now. They were willing
to die for it. Nobody's willing to die for anything anymore.
Put a gun to their head and tell them their
third toast about one in a thousands. Unless you're in
the military.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You're at Donald Trump mc Donald Trump willing to die
for it. He took out Sola money at that point
he knew it may very well cost him his life.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
In a billion Well, there's not regular population population. You're
still a fork in the ribs. They're going to cry
the babies stick.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
A fork in my ribs and I'm not going to
be laughing but punching. That's right, one hundred percent. Hey,
appreciate your calling, Mack.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
I got a thousand bucks as you punch me.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
What you would win that you would find let's not
find out. But hey, Ja, thanks for the call.
Speaker 11 (27:13):
Man.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Appreciate the more twist of realism in here. Yeah, honestly,
And you're one of the best human beings.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Thank you, Jay. I wish that was true, but I
appreciate the kind words, my friend. And I really hate
to go to a heartbreak now because I'm loving hearing this. Hey,
thank you, man, appreciate the call, call off, and thank
you for that and and what I was trying to
say to Jay, but you already know is his very
kind words not deserve but but particularly the part about
(27:42):
being a great Christian. I'm a devout Christian, a devoted Christian.
I center my life around it, but I have a
long way to go. So so many, many, many, many,
infinitely many better Christians out there than me. You're on
the dan Kapla.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Show and now back to the Dantown Show podcast.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
Because they were not just tasked with defeating a Republican,
they were also tasked with defeating the old guard, the
Democratic Party that essentially led us to many of the
perils of this moment. So he had a two front
war to win, which is what makes his victory so
deeply impressive. And I do think that this moment a
(28:23):
lot of people who were who are willing to talk
about party unity when it serves them, but not party
unity when it serves everybody. It puts those folks on notice.
And I think it also puts folks on notice that
we have a future to plan for, we have a
future to fight for, and we're either going to do
that together or you're going to.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Be left behind.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
And I think that that is not a partisan issue.
It's not about progressive, it's not moderate, it's not liberal.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
This is about do you.
Speaker 12 (28:49):
Understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the
assignment is you come together across difference, no.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Matter what you understand. The assignment, Chuck Schumer the assignment
in his socialism. Yes, so you just heard from the
next senator from New York, AOC there I think there's
a good chance Humor doesn't even run again. He's up
in the twenty eight cycle. So yeah, places like New York,
that whole socialism thing is going to work. Can she
(29:17):
put it off statewide? Well we'll find out. But she's
going to win the Democrat primary. But it's not going
to work nationwide. It's not going to work beyond that
the solidly blue places that some of it's already working
in right now. In fact, it's going to be a
major turnoff in swing states. So in that sense, bad
night last night for the Democrats and Mom Donnie. He's
(29:38):
not a threat nationwide. He's a cartoon character. He's going
to fail miserably there. And the speech that he gave
last night, divisive, attacking, etc. Picking a fight with Trump,
that just helps seal the doom of his term. I
did back one candidate to one last night. Congratulations to
a Nicole Haunt elected to the Elizabeth School Board. Let's
(29:59):
head up to Wyoming. Talk to Steve. You're on the
Dan Caplis Show. Welcome Steve, hey friend.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Thank you for the opportunity to call in and share
my opinion with you.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 13 (30:11):
I just wanted to Yeah, I wanted to just share
my thought that this idea, the socialist idea of soaking
the ridge for juicy social.
Speaker 11 (30:21):
Programs, is not a new one that that month Downey
is sharing here. It's something that all Democrats have run
on very strongly for the last fifteen to twenty years,
and it seems to resonate very well with their base,
whether they're radical or dieheard Democratic voters. I don't see
(30:42):
that his message actually is that much different than the
same drab message they've been putting out there for half
my lifetime.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I think one big difference is the open socialism. He
began his very re attacking concession speech last night with
quotes from the founder of the American Socialist Party. He
bragged about how he's a socialist and makes no apologies
for it. What other Democrat candidates have we seen that
(31:15):
from it? And I think in every single swing state,
my friend Steve, that's going to be a major turnoff.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
Well, I mean, the only one that comes to mind
is old Bernie Sanders, But I think that's the average
voter Democrat Republican. They don't I mean, they don't care
that he's quoting stuff from the Socialist Bible and from
Marxist theology. They they don't equate it. They say, Oh,
(31:45):
this dude's gonna give me free stuff. That's what I've
been voting for for the last twenty years. I like
free stuff, continue to hook me up, So I do.
I just don't see a big difference between his message
and I wish people would wake up and be concerned,
but I just don't see it being this big rallying
call that will finally wake up Democrats out of this
(32:10):
selfish slumber.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Therein Well, Steve appreciate the call, my friend, thank you
for that, and hey, we're going to find out together
over time. Right. I think it's clear New York it's
already failing. I mean, his concession speech was a failure,
which is going to, in very concrete ways, hasten the
failure of his first term. And I think he knows that.
(32:32):
So in fact, he's already out there released a video
this morning begging for money to help fund the transition.
So now comes the time he has to pay for
all of this free stuff, which is impossible to do
or socialism would have worked somewhere before in human history,
and it hasn't. But in terms of the old Guard.
No better example of that than Michael Bennett. Just a
(32:54):
fun little quick clip here cut three Ryan, where apparently
some consultant told Bennett he has to start dropping the
F word. There's natural.
Speaker 14 (33:05):
The median family cost of a single family house in
Colorado is six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The cost
of childcare in Colorado is twenty thousand dollars on average.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
That is a disgrace. We are we are the fifth
most expensive state in America to buy a single family house.
We are the fourth, I think most expensive state in
America to buy childcare. That is a being disgrace, and
we are address thank you, because people aren't going to
(33:37):
be able to live in this state if we don't.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Can you imagine the consultant who had to come to
Bennett and say, sorry, you got to use the F word,
just like so many elect Schumer et cetera are doing.
Probably had to get a dictionary to see what it meant.
I mean, it's so inauthentic. But the question to Bennett, obviously,
is well, who's been in charge in Colorado that's been
in charge of everything? So aren't all these problems that
(34:00):
democrats fault of course they are. Take Sheriff Steve Reams
in the house tomorrow. Great job, Ryan, so many reasons
to be optimistic about America. Colorado a tougher nut to crack,
but we've got to find a way. That's our mission,
that's our challenge. It's a privilege to be alive at
a time like this, where the mountain is so steep
and difficult to climb. Please join us tomorrow on The
(34:23):
Dan Kaplis Show.
This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. Yeah, we better
keep fighting, right, especially after last night. I have to
say decades on air last night and today the follow
(00:22):
up some of the most clarifying hours that I've had
about where we are in Colorado, where we are in America,
where we need to go, how we're going to get there.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I just think so much came together last night, which
is weird, right for a relatively slow election night. Obviously,
the tip of the spear was Mom Donnie, but that
wasn't everything because we also had what happened in Colorado,
and nothing in Colorado was particularly er shaken. But when
you take it all together, no question, we've reached our
(00:53):
deepest shade of blue ever in Colorado. So how do
we keep the flame all because the roadback in Colorado
right now is going to be so hard, going to
be so hard. You know, there's always a chance, right
because of divine intervention. The founders bet on that and
the founders want and the world won because they bet
on divine intervention. But it's going to take that sort
(01:16):
of thing right now for that GOP breakthrough. But I'd
like your take on how do you keep the flame
alive in Colorado right now? Because to me, that's the
single biggest thing is despair is a sin, and if
you don't happen to be religious, despair is stupid and
lazy and weak. We don't have the luxury of despair,
and we certainly don't have the right to give up.
(01:38):
It would be a moral to give up because the
kind of policies we're up against in Colorado, in many
cases they're just flat evil. And I'm not saying we're
up against evil people, but we're up against evil things
they do. So we don't have that luxury. So the
key thing I think is keeping the flame alive. You know,
keeping the GOP is the mechanism in Colorado for opposing
(02:01):
the Dems and is right on a lot of stuff ideologically,
how do you keep that organization alive? How do you
keep that flame burning? How do you then just incrementally
worked your way back until there is that chance to win?
And what will it take for that chance to win,
to come around again. So I love your take on
all of that in Colorado. Bottom line message is I
(02:24):
can't give up, don't have a right to. I don't
have that option, but really have to be smart right
now because it's an even tougher, steeper mountain to climb
now nationally as predicted. And and he he just made
me look so good last night, Mom Donnie with that
wild eyed concession speech. People say, Mom Donnie gave a
(02:46):
victory speech last night. He did not. He gave a
concession speech. The type of speech he gave is an
admission that he has already failed and that New York
is going to fail under his leader in quotes, and
that he's going to be viewed as a failure in
typical terms. You don't give an angry, divisive, attacking speech
(03:09):
like that unless you know you have already failed and
you're just trying to prop yourself up in socialist circles
around the world. And that's exactly what Mom Donnie was
trying to do last night. He'll blame the failure in
the end on Islamophobia, on racism, on all sorts of
other stuff, Whereas the truth is he led that failure
(03:32):
last night. If somebody really cared about the people in
New York and they had just run the mayor's race,
and they wanted the best for the people of New York,
and they wanted the term to be a success in
the way almost everybody measures success, they would have given
the opposite of the speech he gave last night. They
would have given a unifying, strong, but unified type speech.
They would have said, you know, President Trump, we disagree
(03:54):
on many things, but we agree on love of country.
We agree on love of New York. You've spent so
much time here. Let's work together in every way we
can to benefit New York. No, bringer, right, that's what
he would have said. Not quite. How about cut fifteen, Ryan,
Let's ease into it with cut fifteen.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city
built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight,
led by an immigrant.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to
get to any of us, you will have to get
through all of us.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So that's a great way to help the people of
New York. Right, All that federal money in New York's
dependent on yep. Pick a fight with the president of
the US. So the second he did that, Donnie was
sentencing the people of New York to a very bad
four years and he knew it, but he doesn't care.
All he cares about is himself elevating his own stature.
(05:09):
So when he uses that moment, when so many New
Yorkers have gullibly voted for him to try to make
their own situation better, when he chooses to use that
moment to make their situation worse so he can elevate himself,
elevate himself to Trump's level in his mind by now
making himself the prime challenger to Donald Trump. He knew
he was screwing all these New Yorkers, but he doesn't care.
(05:32):
Right one of these socialist leaders ever really cared. But
just in case there was any doubt about what his
real goal was last night and it wasn't. The people
in New York cut their team please, Ryan and mont
Donnie had four words for Donald Trump, and they weren't
helped the people of New York.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
So, Donald Trump, since I know you're watching.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I have four words for you. Turn the volume up.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, how is that going to help the people of
New York? Of course, it's not. So we get a
double win with Mom Donnie. We get to open the
eyes of a lot of Democrats nationwide to what the
Democratic Party has become, because that they're good people, These
bad Democrat voters, many of them who just don't pay
that much attention. They vote out of habit and stereotype
(06:24):
of Republicans. But now there's no question the leader of
their party is an unapologetic, very angry socialist and many
people think of communists. That's the leader of their party,
and that's going to open the eyes of a lot
of Democrats. But he's also harmless. He's also harmless. He's
the Canarian. The coal mine is Mom Donnie. He's obviously
(06:46):
such a petulant, immature, you know, egotistical, angry little man,
that he doesn't pose any kind of threat. That the
real threat is one of these committed socialist slash communists
who really is committed to the cause of socialism and
communism and they're able to wrap themselves up in a
(07:11):
nice package. That's who can really do this nation damage.
That's not Mom Donnie, but you can picture it, you know,
you picture that super attractive young guy or Gale. It
could be somebody Mum Donnie's age. He's an attractive person,
but it's somebody who's accomplished in life. Mo'm Donnie, as
far as I can tell, has never really held a job.
(07:32):
Maybe I missed something, but somebody who's really accomplished in life.
It could be somebody who's been a star teacher or
comes out of the military, or somebody who has done
great as an entrepreneur. But they're really deeply committed to socialism.
But they're smart enough, and I put that in quotes,
you know, to kind of conceal it and wrap it
(07:52):
up and dress it up, and then they're able to
have a big national impact. Not Mom Donnie is not
going to succeed nationally in anything other than glorifying Mom Donnie.
And then of course I think he's more concerned with
the worldwide stage and socialist around the world admiring him.
(08:12):
So we'll get to some more of that sound. Even
Van Jones on CNN acknowledged, Hey, that didn't make any sense, Ryan,
could we have a little of Van on Cup twenty one?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
But I think he missed an opportunity. I think the
Mom Donnie that we saw in the campaign trail, who
was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer,
who was a lot more embracing, was not present in
that speech, and I think that Mom Donnie is the
one you need to hear from tonight. There are a
lot of people trying to figure out can I get
(08:42):
on this train.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
With him or not?
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Is he going to include me? Is he is he
going to be more of a class warrior even in office.
I think he missed a camp tonight to open up
and bring more people into the tent.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I think its tone was sharp.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I think he was using the microphone in a way
that he was almost yelling. And that's not the Mom
Donny that we've seen on TikTok and the great interviews
and stuff like that. So I felt like it was
a little bit of a character switch here where the warm, open,
embracing guy that's close to working people was not on
stage night, and there was some other voice on stage.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
He's very young, and he just pulled off something's very
very difficult, and I wouldn't write him off, but I
think he missed an opportunity to open himself up tonight,
and I think that that will probably cost him going forward.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
See that's why I enjoy watching Van Jones because while
we disagree politically on everything, there's some real intellectual honesty
there and he's willing to come out and speak truth
like that. And yeah, so bottom line, Mom, Donnie, grateful
Republicans nationwide and he is not a threat nationwide. Look
(09:54):
out for though, look out for those committed socialists like him,
committed communist, and look out for those who are smarter
than he is, more accomplished in their past than he is,
are able to hide it better and not so flaming angry.
What about Colorado? Obviously the Democrats socialist wing of the
(10:18):
Democratic Party is winning in Colorado. Do you see anybody
in Colorado who might be that kind of figure who
can dress up the socialism and pull it off? And
how do we stop that? You're on the dan Caplas Show.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
And now back to the Dankaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Was last night game changing? Earth shattering? Or just a
good night? No more than just a good night?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Because what happened here was Trump was on the ballot
basically everywhere. He couldn't campaign anywhere for even the candidates
he wanted to, because his approval is really tanking. He says,
the shutdown in his comment, well, guess what, the voters
are blaming him for the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Also, so what this is is a reset.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Really, it's an opening, a huge opening for Democrats all
over the country. And also, let's be blunt, as a Democrat,
we were kind of in the wilderness in the first
few months of the Trump era. We were stumbling about
kind and we were stumbling about. But this is not
only a shot in the arm, it's it's literally the
evidence that we can now go on the offensive, that
(11:24):
we have a message that works. And I think Zora
in particular, this was a kitchen table campaign. It's so funny.
There was no identity politics, there was no social issues.
It was the rent, It was how you pay for food,
it was how you get to work. It was all
these really basic things that I think I'm going to
help democrats, Democrats get back to working class in.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
The middle class voters, or keep talking that way, keep
talking that way, keep talking dirty, build de plazio. This
is exactly what I predicted yesterday, which is yet the
new face of the Democratic Party is an angry, unrepentant,
unapologetic socialist. How is that going to help you nationally
build a Blasio, and he talks about kitchen table issues
(12:04):
like how are you going to pay the rent? Et cetera. Right,
But when the solution is socialism is income redistribution, We're
going to take the money from that guy over there
and we're going to give it to you. Guess what.
That's not going to play many places outside of New
York City. So that's great, Build a Blasio, please, and
Democratic Party convince yourselves this is the winning message, because
(12:28):
if it's possible for you to crash and burn any
worse than you already have, you will. And please build
the Blasio. The whole darn party. Believe that what worked
in New York is going to work everywhere else. And
I heard Mom Donnie refer to this a million Muslims
in New York. I don't know if that number is
(12:49):
accurate or not he used that number. You know, I
don't think that's the case most places in American people
are going to vote hardcore lefty politics like New York
not the case where most people are going to vote.
And so the belief that what worked in New York
and think about that context. Of course, what happened in
(13:09):
New York, Mam Donnie was running against a corrupt, scandalized,
rejected Cuomo and dead in the water Adams and a
Republican who couldn't win but wouldn't get out of the
race and help pave the way for Mom Donnie. How
many Democrats are going to end up in that kind
of scenario. And so yeah, please do believe that's what's
(13:34):
going to work nationwide. And let me go back to
the point. And I'll get to the phone lines in
a second, but let me go back to the point
about the million Muslims. My point there is simply this
that you had a dynamic, you know, such as when
the Irish in Chicago, you know the Irish, and I'm
one hundred percent Irish, we elected an awful lot of
Irish to office. In this case, you had that dynamic
(13:56):
where Mam Donnie is a Muslim and you have a
lot of Muslim voters in New York, and Mom Dommy
had an awful lot of Muslim support. So you have
a lot of unusual dynamics that work in New York
that aren't going to apply anywhere else. But the Democrats
will believe that they will, and that'll be a good
thing for those seeking to defeat them. Let's get to
(14:18):
the phone lines. We'll go to a beautiful count of
for Colorado. Talk to Grant, who fortunately disagrees with me. Grant,
you're on the dan Kaplis. She'll welcome, right.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
Man, It's not that I disagree with you. It's just
that I've listened all day to uh prominent with right
right me podcasters your host. But I've kind of dismiss
this win to a huge, huge error. I don't think
that people are fully grasping the actual signal.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Of that game.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
For what he is I follow a lot of things,
UH kind of understand how on the street type recordings
all across the world al Jacia, Ireland, Northern Europe, on
and on and on, and this this was literally ringing
a knockout bell New York City. And all I hear
(15:20):
is I listened to Ryan's podcast. There there was there
diet water and say that you know, this isn't anything
to worry about, but this is this right there was
a wind battle cry there ever was one whatever he
does beyond this that right there and as people packing
their bags's rallying up and now you've got the milking
(15:40):
pot of the world, New York City, on fire to
push this thing as far as it could go. And
whether Mondomi can handle whatever he's rallied or not. He
doesn't that that speech last night that he did or
this whatever, it was the victory speech. And you said
it wasn't you know, becoming it.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
He wasn't.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
He wasn't meant to be. That was that was a
battle of drag.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, but Grant, we all know he's going to fail
as mayor. We all know his policies are going to fail.
They've never worked anywhere in the world in human history,
so there's no reason to believe they're going to work
in New York. My point was his speech last night
wasn't a victory speech. It was a concession speech. He
knows he's going to fail, not going to be able
(16:29):
to pay for all this, going to run out the
high earners, run out the employers. So how do you
see how do you see this spreading out of New
York when when it's going to fail in New York.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
It's it's it's it's not that it's going to fail,
it's it's intended to do exactly what it was designed
to do, to bring the system down. And that's what
my problem is with Republicans right now is because they're
not listening to the message. They're not saying we're trying
to build something better. They're saying, we're trying to tear
this thing down. Jack. They're standing in front of you,
(17:05):
and nobody is young on the right and the prominent
scenarios they're dismissing all this stuffy AOC's all the people
that are up at the top. When they're telling you
what they're going to do, you need to listen. And
that last night was big yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But the point, I'm sorry, Grant, The point is that
very few places in America will the voters buy that. Now,
hardcore New York A guy like Mom, Donnie, you know,
perfect storm, weak opponents, he's able to pull it off.
And you're welcome to stay, my friend, because I'm so
grateful that you've called to disagree. But where else in
(17:41):
America out of maybe two or three already deep blue places,
is this kind of open socialism going to work in
a campaign. I don't think it is. And Democrats across
the country are going to adopt this message and it's
only going to bury them and help Republicans. You're on
the damecare Show.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
How in a New York statement.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Where the more than one million Muslims know that they
belong not just in the five boroughs of the city,
but in the halls of power. No more will New
York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia
(18:37):
and win an election.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Too bad. He doesn't care about those million Muslims or
anybody else in New York, because if he did, he
would have given the opposite of the speech he gave
last night, Because he gave a speech which was intended
intended to hurt the people of New York while elevating him.
So very very sad. But it's going to be good
(19:02):
for the nation every now and then, I think at
the paraphrasing George Will, you know that the nation needs
to see an active experience of socialism and see it
fail miserably as it inevitably will, and then the nation
is reminded, Yeah, socialism sucks, and so we're going to
all get to see that in New York. But yeah,
do not even trying to hide it. That's why I
(19:23):
call it a concession speech last night, not a victory
speech because he knows he's going to fail. He knows
he's not going to be able to deliver on his promises.
He knows he's going to drive out job creators and
high earners. He knows all of that. So he's already
planning the seeds to blame it on racism and Islamophobia.
If he wanted to succeed, he would have done a unifying, strong,
(19:45):
but unifying speech at President Trump, we disagree on a lot,
but we share a love of New York. Let's work
together to help New York any way we can. Instead,
he comes out and he bates Trump and taunts Trump
every way imaginable. How's that going to help the million
Muslims living in New York, many of whom would probably
benefit from federal money. How's that going to help New York?
(20:06):
It's not, and he knows that. So this guy's a
cartoonish figure and he's all upside to the GOP. He
poses no threat nationwide. But look out for the smarter
socialist who actually have accomplishments in their life and they
can dress it up better. Yeah, look out for those people,
(20:28):
because they're common, including here in Colorado three or three
seven one three, two five five. Let's go to Jay
and Wheatridge. You're on the dan Kaplis.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Sh'll welcome Jay, Hey Dan, Well, yeah, me too. I
guess sort of something the Democrats that was not a
lost from the Democrats, that was not a constant speech.
They're getting their foot bigger and bigger indoor and shame
(20:56):
with Colorado. They're just going the wrong direction and with
no end in sight. I don't really know why you
have such rose colored glasses, but I wish the heck
you'd loan them to me. I don't see things like that, but.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You do sound a little bound.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Jay.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Well, when I listened to that, I've listened to you
since the Craig Silberman days. I used to really hate
calling in because you didn't want to talk show. Well,
back then, you got so much better. That's a compliment.
You really are doing it much better. I could never
get a word in Edge Boys before, and that was
(21:36):
way back way back when you actually have conversations. Nowadays,
you never did. You're very good. I love your show now.
But anyways, Tommy, he's a huge win for Muslims. He's
a huge win for Muslims. He's a huge win for communists.
He's just a gigantic win for the Democrats, which aren't
(21:56):
democrats anymore except the rare, rare, rare ones like but
one in a thousand of the best. It's a huge
win for them, and they.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Know, happy, happy, Jake, tell me this. Where else in
America is that going to work?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Colorado?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Okay? Fine? Where that? That's not going to be enough
to win the White House for them? Where else?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Well, the White House isn't exactly you know when it's
it's not a it's a when. Eventually, probably they keep
they've started getting their foot door since the twenties, more
and more and more and more and more when Democrats
got taken over by socialists and now communists, and they're
they're gaining ground.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
The White House is the big enchilada. So where the
White House US? And those are the two big enchiladas.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
So where think China?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Else is this going to work? Okay, it'll work in China,
it'll work in Colorado.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
That's not what I meant in this my point. China,
they think long game. For a young country, they think
they're thinking of the long game. They're not thinking tomorrow
or next collection. They're looking at the long game and
the love.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
If I prove you wrong? Oh do you mind if
I prove your wrong?
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Never, friend, I'll be honest with you. I had never
in my life, not once, whatever, and I listened to
you most of every chance. You did too. I think
you never in my life heard you say you were wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'll say it was wrong. Oh you got to listen more.
I said I was wrong last week, but I was
wrong about that. I was wrong about wrong. Ryan. Do
you remember what that was last week when I said
I was wrong?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
See you Buff's prediction.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Ah, that's right. I had him beating Utah and I
had the Buffs beating Utah and they lost like fifty.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Yeah, I'm not sure looking at that.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
But Jay, if we could get back to kind of
my seminal questions, yes, let's do that. Where else in
America is mom, Donnie? Is that going to work? Colorado?
Fair enough?
Speaker 9 (23:58):
Colora, La?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Maybe Chicago, but these already deep blue pockets. All it's
going to do is is make it easier for the
GOP to wing swings. It wins swing states.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
There are disease and diseases have a way of spreading.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
And getting wiped out. I mean twenty wasn't close. Twenty
four wasn't close. Twenty four wasn't close.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
They can wipe out a greater portion of the population
before someone finds a cure.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah yet, but we haven't seen that water. But the
argument that does is election day. The argument that does
hold water is election Day twenty four, election Day sixteen,
election date twenty That was a COVID aberration. But well,
my friend, I wish I could find a way to
(24:49):
cheer you up, but I think at this point, no,
I just don't have the words.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
There's always a rosy and cherry about it's but it's
not true. It's you're a great guy, and I wish
I had your morals and your your self discipline and
all those things you have keep going are amazing to me.
I wish I'm serious as a heart attack. I wish
I were more like you in those ways. You are
an amazing man. I wish the hell you were the
(25:16):
governor of Colorado. I wish you'd run. I think if
you wear I wish step for years. I think, on
the other hand, without any power, you look for the
best of the best possible, and you don't necessarily get
the real picture. I love you dearly man. There is
(25:37):
probably no better Christian ownerth than I. I'm all about
Jesus and God and everything else, and I hate what's
going on with a lot of this stuff. But come on, brother,
they're getting their put deeper and deeper in, and they're
getting stronger and stronger hold it's getting ugly. It takes
as probably actually God to step in. And that decades, years,
(26:01):
thousands of years.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Millennial, milliseconds. It could happen in milliseconds, right that that's
what the founders bet everything on, right, and they bet
right with reliance on divine providence. We pledged you our lives,
our fortunes, our sacred honor. As you know, that's the
end of the Declaration of Independence. They walk the talk,
and they bet right.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
And here's something different than than now. They were willing
to die for it. Nobody's willing to die for anything anymore.
Put a gun to their head and tell them their
third toast about one in a thousands. Unless you're in
the military.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You're at Donald Trump mc Donald Trump willing to die
for it. He took out Sola money at that point
he knew it may very well cost him his life.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
In a billion Well, there's not regular population population. You're
still a fork in the ribs. They're going to cry
the babies stick.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
A fork in my ribs and I'm not going to
be laughing but punching. That's right, one hundred percent. Hey,
appreciate your calling, Mack.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
I got a thousand bucks as you punch me.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
What you would win that you would find let's not
find out. But hey, Ja, thanks for the call.
Speaker 11 (27:13):
Man.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Appreciate the more twist of realism in here. Yeah, honestly,
And you're one of the best human beings.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Thank you, Jay. I wish that was true, but I
appreciate the kind words, my friend. And I really hate
to go to a heartbreak now because I'm loving hearing this. Hey,
thank you, man, appreciate the call, call off, and thank
you for that and and what I was trying to
say to Jay, but you already know is his very
kind words not deserve but but particularly the part about
(27:42):
being a great Christian. I'm a devout Christian, a devoted Christian.
I center my life around it, but I have a
long way to go. So so many, many, many, many,
infinitely many better Christians out there than me. You're on
the dan Kapla.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Show and now back to the Dantown Show podcast.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
Because they were not just tasked with defeating a Republican,
they were also tasked with defeating the old guard, the
Democratic Party that essentially led us to many of the
perils of this moment. So he had a two front
war to win, which is what makes his victory so
deeply impressive. And I do think that this moment a
(28:23):
lot of people who were who are willing to talk
about party unity when it serves them, but not party
unity when it serves everybody. It puts those folks on notice.
And I think it also puts folks on notice that
we have a future to plan for, we have a
future to fight for, and we're either going to do
that together or you're going to.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Be left behind.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
And I think that that is not a partisan issue.
It's not about progressive, it's not moderate, it's not liberal.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
This is about do you.
Speaker 12 (28:49):
Understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the
assignment is you come together across difference, no.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Matter what you understand. The assignment, Chuck Schumer the assignment
in his socialism. Yes, so you just heard from the
next senator from New York, AOC there I think there's
a good chance Humor doesn't even run again. He's up
in the twenty eight cycle. So yeah, places like New York,
that whole socialism thing is going to work. Can she
(29:17):
put it off statewide? Well we'll find out. But she's
going to win the Democrat primary. But it's not going
to work nationwide. It's not going to work beyond that
the solidly blue places that some of it's already working
in right now. In fact, it's going to be a
major turnoff in swing states. So in that sense, bad
night last night for the Democrats and Mom Donnie. He's
(29:38):
not a threat nationwide. He's a cartoon character. He's going
to fail miserably there. And the speech that he gave
last night, divisive, attacking, etc. Picking a fight with Trump,
that just helps seal the doom of his term. I
did back one candidate to one last night. Congratulations to
a Nicole Haunt elected to the Elizabeth School Board. Let's
(29:59):
head up to Wyoming. Talk to Steve. You're on the
Dan Caplis Show. Welcome Steve, hey friend.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Thank you for the opportunity to call in and share
my opinion with you.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 13 (30:11):
I just wanted to Yeah, I wanted to just share
my thought that this idea, the socialist idea of soaking
the ridge for juicy social.
Speaker 11 (30:21):
Programs, is not a new one that that month Downey
is sharing here. It's something that all Democrats have run
on very strongly for the last fifteen to twenty years,
and it seems to resonate very well with their base,
whether they're radical or dieheard Democratic voters. I don't see
(30:42):
that his message actually is that much different than the
same drab message they've been putting out there for half
my lifetime.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I think one big difference is the open socialism. He
began his very re attacking concession speech last night with
quotes from the founder of the American Socialist Party. He
bragged about how he's a socialist and makes no apologies
for it. What other Democrat candidates have we seen that
(31:15):
from it? And I think in every single swing state,
my friend Steve, that's going to be a major turnoff.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
Well, I mean, the only one that comes to mind
is old Bernie Sanders, But I think that's the average
voter Democrat Republican. They don't I mean, they don't care
that he's quoting stuff from the Socialist Bible and from
Marxist theology. They they don't equate it. They say, Oh,
(31:45):
this dude's gonna give me free stuff. That's what I've
been voting for for the last twenty years. I like
free stuff, continue to hook me up, So I do.
I just don't see a big difference between his message
and I wish people would wake up and be concerned,
but I just don't see it being this big rallying
call that will finally wake up Democrats out of this
(32:10):
selfish slumber.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Therein Well, Steve appreciate the call, my friend, thank you
for that, and hey, we're going to find out together
over time. Right. I think it's clear New York it's
already failing. I mean, his concession speech was a failure,
which is going to, in very concrete ways, hasten the
failure of his first term. And I think he knows that.
(32:32):
So in fact, he's already out there released a video
this morning begging for money to help fund the transition.
So now comes the time he has to pay for
all of this free stuff, which is impossible to do
or socialism would have worked somewhere before in human history,
and it hasn't. But in terms of the old Guard.
No better example of that than Michael Bennett. Just a
(32:54):
fun little quick clip here cut three Ryan, where apparently
some consultant told Bennett he has to start dropping the
F word. There's natural.
Speaker 14 (33:05):
The median family cost of a single family house in
Colorado is six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The cost
of childcare in Colorado is twenty thousand dollars on average.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
That is a disgrace. We are we are the fifth
most expensive state in America to buy a single family house.
We are the fourth, I think most expensive state in
America to buy childcare. That is a being disgrace, and
we are address thank you, because people aren't going to
(33:37):
be able to live in this state if we don't.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Can you imagine the consultant who had to come to
Bennett and say, sorry, you got to use the F word,
just like so many elect Schumer et cetera are doing.
Probably had to get a dictionary to see what it meant.
I mean, it's so inauthentic. But the question to Bennett, obviously,
is well, who's been in charge in Colorado that's been
in charge of everything? So aren't all these problems that
(34:00):
democrats fault of course they are. Take Sheriff Steve Reams
in the house tomorrow. Great job, Ryan, so many reasons
to be optimistic about America. Colorado a tougher nut to crack,
but we've got to find a way. That's our mission,
that's our challenge. It's a privilege to be alive at
a time like this, where the mountain is so steep
and difficult to climb. Please join us tomorrow on The
(34:23):
Dan Kaplis Show.
