Dan and Ryan discuss the importance of candidates proving themselves in the vetting process of a primary, preparing our Republican nominee for the governor's race of 2026.
Also, a quick A.I. search on the 'healthiest' (or least bad) fast food hamburgers reveals some surprising results - which may prove President Trump was right all along in his preferences.

Steve Reims for doing such a great job on yesterday's show.
I mean, I am Caroline. We were back in Boston.
(00:23):
We're back for Joe's court competition and it's a big
event every year on his law school's calendar. It's probably
the most respected mood court competition in America. And Joe
was part of the winning team last night and it
was just a thrill to see it. Both teams were
(00:43):
so good. I'm telling you, just so good. I said
Damy afterwards. I've been practicing law forty years, hopefully another
forty ahead of me. But the lawyer and I saw
last night these third year law students and what they
call the Ames Competition.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It was top five best.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Lawyering I have seen in forty years and they're not
even out of law school yet.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Obviously, so proud of ourself, Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
But I'm watching something like that. If I'm in your shoes.
Obviously you have that background perspective. I wouldn't, but I'm
sitting there, So how is that scored? How much of
it do you think is subjective? How much is objective?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
How could you tell why Joe's team won?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Did you have a b That is such a great question, Ryan,
because what they do every year they often have US
Supreme Court justices judge it, and this year wasn't the case.
You know, there's just different litigation involving the school that
may make it to the US Supreme Court. But they
had fantastic For example, the woman who's been Solicitor General
(01:40):
for the last four years was one of the judges,
and you had these very impressive judges from other parts
of the country, and so they would judge it the
same way. You know, they well, I shouldn't say that
they judged the quality of the briefing. They judge the
quality of the oral argument. They judge the overall and
last night being so very good, I think what it
(02:03):
probably came down to was just the quality of the briefing.
And there you're talking about the difference between you know,
eight plus and a double plus, right, because the oral
lists were also amazing, but it was breathtaking and I
don't mean to sound like a law nerd, but for
a guy who's done this for a living for so long,
I just set back and thought, this is amazing to watch,
(02:23):
so a privilege would be back there. I probably celebrated
a little too much, like it was a football game
when the judges announced that Joe's team had won, and
I'm not sure you're.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Supposed to jump up, both fists.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
In the air and screen yeah, reacting that way.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, I think she jumped up before all.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
But it was this enormous packed auditorium and then they
had overflow rooms because on that campus it's.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
A really big deal and it should be. It was
just so impressive.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Sixty five teams competed, it cut down to the finals,
and I'm just so proud of ours son three or
three two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Gave me a lot of hope for
the future, just in terms of the quality of all
these kids last night. But that's a real story across America.
No matter what kids are studying or doing or whatever
(03:14):
is there are so many positive indicators about you know, this,
this group of young people, and part of that is
the surgeon faith.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And I'm going to try to do that topic tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
And so much of this it goes way beyond anecdotal,
and you've got the hard data of an I happen
to be Catholic, but within the Catholic Church, and I
know you're seeing this in other parts of Christianity as well,
just an explosion in church attendance and involvement. We went
to a church in Boston. It was noon on a Sunday,
(03:48):
which normally those aren't the big attended masses because you
got you know, football is about to start and everything
else overflowing, overflowing people and a big church standing up
and down the aisles, overflowing, so many of them, young people,
young families, everything else. There's something happening out there. And
so we'll do a full show on it. But if
(04:09):
you've got a thought as to, Okay, why is this happening?
Why is this surgeon faith? And I know what's happening
in Christianity, maybe happening in another face as well.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Why is that happening? Why this surge in the Catholic Faith.
I know in the Catholic Faith.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
One part of it is, you know, just a great
evangelical work being done by Father Mike Schmidtz. We had
the pleasure of watching him speak on Friday Night at
the Seats of Hope fundraiser. Just a Bible in a year,
Catechism in a year, Sunday Homilies with Father Mike. If
you've never heard it, whether you're an atheist, a Catholic,
something else, you know, dial into it because they're about
(04:46):
to hit.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
A billion downloads. He is that good.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Dan, listening to the station pass over and look above
Victor Marx's telltale of why Colorado will never have a
republic another Republican ever. I think Colorado will always have
at least one repub Publican.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Are you a Republican? Ryan? Are you registered Republican? Rock
ribbed Republican?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh yeah, very much, registered Republican. I try my best
to help when leadership reaches out to me.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Oh that's right. You're doing events now, MC and all that.
Pretty soon you'll run for office. What are you going
to learn?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Well, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
What are you going to run for something?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Like you?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I'd have to run on a race I felt I
could win, and I've talked about you know that with
George Brockler about George Brockler and why he wouldn't run,
because you and I both feel he's an amazing candle man, you.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Know, five tool player George.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
George had a couple of cycles that he set out
for family reasons where biring Martians landing. He you know,
he would have been elected to, for example, the US Senate.
But I completely respect him sitting out for family reasons
because for me, it's not so much I'd have to
be sure i'd win the race. In fact, there's something
that that I like even more about these races where
(06:00):
you look at it and say, there's no way any
Republican could win short of the Good Lord coming down
thrown on a red jersey. No Republican's running, and the
Lord's never going to do that, right because it's not
like one party is. I mean, obviously the GOP is
the vehicle for doing so many more things that are
consistent with one's Christian faith. But no, Lord's not going
(06:20):
to put on a red or blue jersey. R definitely
not a blue jersey, but neither. But short of that, no,
because to me, you know, and talks cheap, but that challenge,
to me would be another reason to get in take
it on what we're supposed to take on, tough fights.
So the hold up for me has always been family
and yeah, just you know it's that's just the concern,
(06:44):
and so what is this one of these days?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Point though, this listening to the station pass over and
look above Victor Marx is telltale of why Colorado will
never have another Republican ever.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I wish that person would call because I don't know
what they're talking about. I know I had and I
do this very often with all GOP candidates is men
will do a bio interview.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I've made no secret about it. Over the years, my
interviews with GOP candidates tend to be very friendly. And
that's that's for a few different reasons, one of which
is that, listen, I was a Democrat for years. I
wasn't born into the GOP, and I don't worship the GOP.
You know, it's not my got I came to the
(07:27):
GOP because I'm kicking and screaming, but I learned once
I got in it. You know how many great people
that are in abob all. They've got the right ideas
for stopping bad things and doing good things. And conservatism
is and I never would have believed this is a Democrat,
but conservatism is provably the very best vehicle to help
(07:52):
the pressed, to help the weekend defenseless, and to help
those people who haven't had a fair shot in life.
You know, all those people I grew up caring about
because my parents cared about him, my faith cares about him.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
The GOOPI is the best vehicle for that.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And then I found, much to my surprise, not only
the ideology.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
But the people.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
The people, and there were when I was a Democrats
are an awful lot of Democrats who truly cared about
the week in defenses, the downtrodden.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Et cetera.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But then they're part of this party that had changed
so much. You know, they were bad for those for
the week in defenses, in the downtrodden. And then the
gopiece so many people with big hearts who truly just
want to help those people who haven't had a fair shake.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
So no GPA.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So my point, Ryan is, listen, I do soft, easy,
friendly interviews with GOP candidates because we agree on so much.
I want them to succeed, I want them to win.
So I did one of those friendly biotype interviews with
Victor Marx and then Steve Adamin yesterday. Right, I heard
(09:04):
some of that show, and I don't know what this
texture wants.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's a fair interview. More specific.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
First of all, nobody's given him more airtime than this station.
So that's point one point two, am I. My position
would be iron Sharpen's iron. And for us to just
gloss over a candidate and not vet them properly doing
our job as radio hosts and journalists, that's for Victor
Marks's own good, so that he can get into the arena,
(09:31):
be sharpened on issues before he gets into a debate.
Let's say with Michael Bennet, if that were to be
at the stage. Don't want to walk into that unprepared.
Don't want Tom to walk into a primary debate unprepared
against Scott Bottoms, Barb Kirkmeyer, Greg Lopez, whoever else.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
He can't just float through this thing.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's the ultimate meritocracy, correct, It's the ultimate test. And
we understand in Colorado it's so slanted blue that you
could have the best Republican candidate ever and they might
still lose by nine points. We had some very very
good Republican candidates lose in recent years. But to your
point about iron sharpening iron, the whole idea is let
(10:11):
the best man or woman win. And I love watching
these candidates. You know, so many of these candidates get
so much better during the course of a campaign. And
so yeah, I give credit to Victor Marx for coming
in and sitting down with us for an hour and
just get everybody in. Let everybody ask the questions they
want to ask, get all the information on the table,
(10:32):
and like you say, make sure our nominee makes your
nominee has been fully tested. It's all out there, and
let's put up the very best nominee we can't whoever
that may be.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You're on the Dan Kaplas.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Show and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
The evangelical churches do not follow the lead of what the.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Kafflin bishops are doing right now. They will look back
on this time with the same shame that.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
They look back on the civil rights.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Erah, oh my goodness, does he have like lightning proof
windows at home in his car? And this this guy
lecturing Evangelical Christians, this guy who's never met a baby
killing He didn't like this guy who's the ultimate cheerleader
for mass abortion.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh yeah, but those evangelicals.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, No, if you don't agree with Joe Scarborough's open
borders policy, let everybody come in unvetted, including the criminal element.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh my goodness, Wow, the audacity of shamelessness.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So the day Joe Scarborough you agree with all the
great work being done by Evangelicals and Catholics and others
to save babies from being killed before births, then you
can talk with some authority on that. But even then
you'd be blown up here because how could somebody support
(12:01):
Catholic bishop sure isn't supporting just wide open borders with
no vetting of anybody coming in.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
No, no, they're not.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You know, supporting recognizing the inherent you know, human dignity
of each and evory individual and the need to treat
people with respect for that dignity as we work out
you know, the public policy of this country, yes, you bet.
And feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, whether they're
(12:33):
here legally or not when they're standing in front of
you in need, you bet. But this Joe Scarborough garbage,
give me a break. Yeah, And obviously that the future
of the Democratic Party. They've they've made it clear depends
upon these wide open borders and very large numbers of
people coming in. That's that's why they were willing to
(12:54):
allow along with the large majority of folks coming in illegally,
you know which count it just can't afford on an
unlimited basis. But along with those you had hundreds of thousands,
a small percentage, but a large enough number of people
to commit that large scale murder, rape, devastation, and the
(13:14):
Democrats welcomed them all in because for the Democrats it's
just about votes. That's why you got Michael Bennett and
John Nick and Loop are pushing a bill that would
prevent ICE from detaining anybody at a polling place.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It would prevent ICE.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
From detaining folks here illegally at polling places. So no,
the Democrats endgame is clear. And for so Scarborough trying
to shame Christians for not endorsing his open borders policy,
give me a break, but you know they tried to
do that before election day, etc. And it gets no
(13:50):
traction because it's ludicrous on his face, and people are smart.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
See that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Leftists like Scarborough think people are dumb because they live
in this echo chamber, this bubble where if you don't
think the way they do, if you don't have their money,
if you don't have their power, then you're just some
sort of peasant they and guess what, in the end,
you know.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Who the really smart people are.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The really smart people are the people who have an
opposite worldview of Scarborough. And the smart people are winning
three all three he's seven one three, eight two five
five text.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
D An five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Let's see textures and fuego. Let's start with those who disagree.
Thank you for that, Dan. I disagree. Basically, God did
put on a red jersey with President Trump being elected
the third time and surviving all the.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Attacks, fascinating text.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
As I've said before, my own personal belief is that
President Trump was saved in that Butler Field by God,
by divine intervention. But I don't think he was saved
because he's a Republican or to benefit the Republican Party
or anything like that. My own personal belief is that
he was saved in order to stop bad things do
(15:07):
good things. And I agree with the founders. You go
back to the Declaration of Independence. You know this the
very last line that the Founders, who were highly likely
to lose and end up being hung. You know, the
founder said, with reliance on divine providence, we pledge to
you our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor. The Founders
(15:28):
believed in divine providence for this nation. Why because this
nation has a really nice land and great climate and
everything else. No, this nation was going to be the
beacon of freedom. Freedom means religious liberty, and so I believe,
as the Founders did, that God has blessed this nation
(15:48):
at every turn, including when we didn't deserve it, you know,
because this nation was going to be that beacon of
liberty and freedom. And without this nation, the world has
fallen into darkness in the nineteen forties at the latest.
So I agree with the Founders on that, and I
think the saving of President Trump was part of that.
But I don't think that was done to benefit the
(16:09):
Republican Party. Can you imagine, and I'm sure you probably have, well,
the ways this country would have been torn apart had
that assassin succeeded in that Butler field. We should do
a whole show on that sometime. What would this nation
have looked like from that moment? Forward if that assassin
(16:30):
had succeeded, and it would would not only have been
the fact that the man who was clearly going to
become president didn't be a great president, you know, had
been gone down, But how could you have blamed any
rational person for thinking that there was some kind of
broader conspiracy in taking him out when there is no
(16:50):
way in any kind of rational civilized nation that that
killer should have been able to get that close to
the president. So this nation would have been torn apart
in ways we haven't even imagined yet, let alone talked about.
And then all of the good that Trump's doing, including
stopping bad yeah, we would have been deprived of that.
So now I don't think Texter it was done to
(17:13):
benefit the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I really am I wrong in this.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Logically Trump has done great things for the Republican Party,
and we've talked about a lot of those on air,
But I don't see Trump and the Republican Party as one.
And that's why there is this fair question as to
whether this success is going to be there after Trump's
second term is finished.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I think it there's a good chance it will be,
but it's.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Not a sure thing because I see Trump as really
a separate force, a separate entity. I'm glad he's been
associated with the Republican Party. I'm glad he's delivered on
so many core principles and beliefs and goals of.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
The Republican Party.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But no, I think he was saved for a bigger purpose,
and I think he's been fulfilling that three or three
someone three eight, two five five the number I asked
chet GPT what is the healthiest burger? Results when we
come back, I think you'll be surprised.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Sitting down to a really great meal, because no matter
who you are, everyone loves something at McDonald's. It's always
something to have. I like the fish, I like it.
You could do a little bit more tatos please. I
(18:37):
hate when I said.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You have any tar? Do you understand that?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yes, even the president kick get enough turto sauce. But
it does raise a really good question, what is the
healthiest burger and a fast food place? And is that
healthiest burger healthy enough? And the reason I asked this
question right now maybe you're thinking the same thing is
(19:01):
I've kind of reached the point, you know, after COVID,
we all started to do. You know, during COVID, the
order in thing, and then you know, those delivery charges everything.
They were brutal, but you sucked.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It up because hey, it's COVID and everything else.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And then you know, after COVID, restaurants are just so expensive.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And so.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I've been a lawyer for forty years. I make a
decent living. We can afford to go out and have
dinner in a decent restaurant. But it's starting to drive
me crazy where every meal, no matter what you get,
it's like every meal, no matter what you get, all
of a sudden, two people go out and you're hitting
seventy five or one hundred bucks, and it's like, what,
(19:44):
I know, what's going on here? So it has me
seriously thinking McDonald's again, because it used to be not
be at McDonald's. When I was single, I'd often be
at McDonald's five days a week.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
So I'm starting to think of some more McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
So I just googled up here what's the most healthy
fast food burger?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
This is chat GPT. I didn't google it. Hey do
you right now?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I probably am on one AI source or another. Eighty
percent of the time at Google now twenty percent?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
How about you?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I don't use it that much quite frankly, it's kind
of interesting, but I I don't know. I'm kind of
leary of it. I'm old man about that, like oh,
and to do that sometimes I do.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
And it's interesting ten miles to the snows, wheat nail
boards on our feet to ski.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Exactly what happened?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I know I'm behind the times, and no, I'm excited
for you because the truth is, once you start using it,
I know it's it's stunning. And I'm not saying this
is trust, but verify all that could speak up. But sure,
here's okay, I chat GPT. If you're looking for the
healthiest fast food burger from major US chains, here are
the best options based on caloriees, saturated fat, sodium, and
(20:57):
overall ingredient simplicity. None are healthy in an absolute sense,
but they are surprisingly reasonable choices. Okay, And I'd love
to know for folks, I got to go. Do you
think the healthiest fast food burger is?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Three? Or three?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Someone?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Three eight two five five d N five seven seven
three nine. What's your guest?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I guess will be different than my favorite because my favorite.
This might shock you. It's what a burger.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I have not had one.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
You got to go down to the springs. I thought
they were.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
There's a couple in the Spring, Colorado Springs area.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
They are dan.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
It reminds me of what Burger King used to be
like in the eighties when they're they flame broiled there. Yeah,
they're really flame broiler.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
It's all good.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I yes, by the way, flat well, it tastes like
I said, it tastes like burger asked.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You say, hey, can I see.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
The flame in the kitchen. I'm going to check if
you got to go back.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
In the kitchen. They're not flame broiled it.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
If they were flame broiled, they would show you them
being cooked like the old round the Corner.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Maybe the greatest burger ever made.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh yeah, Amy and I were talking the other day.
We'd love to open one one of those. You should
when I knew the owner around the current at one
point because he came to my big fight in the
CU Basketball Arena when they sold out the arena. I
wasn't the only one fighting, but I was fighting light
heavyweight that night and he came to the fight. They
were ringside, and I had a pretty good night. My
opponent did not, and then he invited our whole crew to.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Around the corner. Nice. But I lost touch with them
because all I'm saying is we'd love to open one.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I guess is shake check?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Shake Check's pretty? Oh no, no, no not according to chatchypt
in and Out. That's but shake check is really good.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
You and me love both love in and out?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Is that on the list on the top I'm trying
to read, trying to read top healthiest fast food burgers
major chains? This according to chat GPT, Number one, drum
roll please. And I know it's like an old man thing,
but how do we not have a drum roll on
our button bar?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Drum roll please? Okay McDonald's no fooling.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
According to chat GPT, Wyatt wins very simple ingredients, modest calories,
low saturated fat compared to others. Two hundred and fifty
calories nine grams fat, three grams saturated, five hundred and
ten milligrams of sodium, twelve grams protein. Best option if
you want the cleanest, low impact burger. Number two Windy's Junior.
(23:18):
Is there a difference between Wendy's and Wendy's Junior?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Now here.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I'm gonna intercept it just for a moment, because the one,
the two you just described have much smaller.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Patties than some of the other chains.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Oh okay, that might be yet, but they address that here. Chet.
It's not a dummy. It's not like dummy GPT. Dummy GPT.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh what would dummy GPT say? The best brower is anyway,
Wendy's Junior, slightly larger, with still moderate nutrition. Two forty calories,
ten grams fat, four saturated four to fifty milligrams sodium,
fourteen grams protein, best balance of calories, protein and sodium.
But they say nothing about taste, and no offense to
(23:58):
the fine people who work at Wendy's.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
My sister used to work there. I've never liked that burger,
really never.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Never, you do, I like it if you get like
a double or a triple, But the junior one, you're
talking all the burger's like the size of a silver.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Dollar, which could be good for you.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Number three Burger king Hamburger very close to McDonald's nutritionally,
says chant GPT. Two forty calories ten gram fat, three
point five sat, five sixty milligrams sodium, thirteen grams protein,
a good low calorie option. Salt is a bit higher
than McDonald's. Okay, now this is if there's one thing
ever that is cast out on chant GPT for me,
(24:33):
because I think generally speaking, it's a good starting point source. Sure,
not ending, but starting number four. In and out. But
here's the deal, in and out protein style hamburger.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Let us wrap. Nobody's eating that except my wife. I'm sorry.
Nobody is eating that is though, if.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You want lowest carbs and clean ingredients. Two hundred and
forty calories, seventeen grams of fat, thirteen grams of protein,
much lower sodium, the most chance I have to bring
my own salt. Yeah, so healthiest bigger burger.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
There we go. Interest I'm talking about that would be
shake shack.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I knew it.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, high quality ingredients, but kolaric. How do you even
say this word? Calorically richer? It's not even a word.
Three hundred and sixty calories, nineteen grams fat, eight grams sat,
seven forty milligrams sodium, twenty grams protein.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
But again, this is a bigger burger.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
That's right, all right?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
What are the worst?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Chat GPT says avoid these carls Jr. The bacon eator,
double quarter pounder whoppers with cheese, any monster style burger,
Oh no, overall winter McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, President Trump's onto something. Yeah, he's a tank, he's
big Max like every day I am. I even got
really hungry right now for McDonald's.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You said you haven't had a McDonald's berger in a
long time.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Any used to be every day, and I haven't. I
just kind of fell out of the habit.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
But truly, what it's cost you need at restaurants now
I know, or even I might try to withdraw my order.
I just texted Amy about ordering in some Chinese tonight,
and what's your favorite Chinese?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Tell her Amy, we're going to McDonald's instead, Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
She would.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
She loves McDonald's. Dan Carl Junior's Western spicy burger.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
That sounds good.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Dan McDonald's was sued into a healthier mode. Interesting back story.
I have no problem with that. Like so many cars
you drive right now are so much safer because of lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, guy handled that. Some products cases against Ford.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
They they used to make, in my opinion, some really
risky vehicles. And then there were a whole bunch of
lawsuits and then Ford became a safety leader.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Safety leader.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know, we bought Ford for for our kids when
it was that time.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I drive a Ford and people make fun of me,
and I'll tell you right now it man, just the
stuff I see my job doing catastrophic injury.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
And death work.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Man, I would eat dog food in order to be
able to buy the safest thing I could for the
kids and for Amy and for me. It just makes
such a difference. What car here now, I don't care
what carrier. And if you don't put the seatbelt on.
You know, it was Princess Diana, right, She would have
walked away without a scratch if she had a seat
belt on. But may and no, Ford is making some
(27:26):
really good safe cars. You want to check each individually.
And I always recommend people check not the government rating, No,
that's useful data, but check the Insurance Institute rating. Because
they got a dog in the fight, they got money
in that fight, and so yeah, check those ratings. Also, Dan,
what does chat TPT tell you about those burgers made
(27:47):
with pink slime?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
The real rolf?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Thanks Jroelff, you just ruined everything pink slime. Yeah, yeah,
Carl's junior McDonald's suit into healthier mode. Need to eat
for five Windy's.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Okay, I think.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That'll be the end of that. I'm so hungry now.
I wish the show is over at least rolled over
to McDonald's. But we have some more ground to cover
when we come back. Three or three someone three eight
two five five d an five seven seven three nine.
I want to tell you what I think the President
did wrong on the Epstein thing. Starting point being I'm
convinced he's completely innocent, no nefarious activity, but just the
(28:28):
handling this whole thing, and what I think he should
do now going forward, because this should be the Democrats problem.
You know, the Democrats are so dirty on this Epstein thing.
How how can the President get this back on track?
Here on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Oh thank you for that. Right always brings back good
memories for everybody.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I think we had fed into chat GPT the healthiest
fast food burger, and it came back with McDonald's, which
I think because interesting to a lot of us, but
has me really hungry. For one, We've been talking about
some AI as well, and we've got some important segments
coming up on that because none of us can know
for sure, but but all indications are it's going to
dramatically change that the face of the workforce and end
(29:18):
of the job market very soon. In fact, it's happening
right now. Alexa text Dan me picturing you on AI
prompting best closing argument that would be better than Dan
Kaplis's last closing argument in the largest award ever against
a trucker. That from Alexa, I can tell you this,
I never will mark my words before God. I will
(29:40):
never ever ever feed into chat GPT anything like that
for my law practice. Never, never, never going to be
a closing argument opening anything like that. Now listen, because
I mean to me that just it all comes down
to every now and then somebody's kind enough to say, Okay,
what's that's the key to this success? And if there's
(30:03):
if there's one word, you'd bring it, two words, you'd
bring it down to. And I don't mean to be
goodie two shoes, but I'm just being honest with your truth.
Truths like that sign in our office, the truth wins.
And then also just authenticity. One of the greatest lawyers
I've ever known, Ryan, he was the dean of the
law school, a guy named Dan Hoffman. I started at DU,
(30:23):
ran out of money, finished at CU Law. Dan Hoffman
was the dean at DU, tremendous, one of the greatest
trial layers in state history. And I asked him one day,
what's your key? And he just said, authenticity. Just be
real that don't worry about every word being right, every
paragraph being right in a sentence. Just be authentic, be real,
(30:46):
be you. And again, I think that is one thousand
percent essential. And that's why I would never in a
million years go anywhere near AI. If you're a lawyer
and you're a young lawyer, you're an old lawyer, whatever,
and you're trying to write an open betting, a closing argument,
anything like that. If you're talking about data and finding
data out there as you prep for this or prep
(31:06):
for that, it's one of many sources you'd consider. But
anybody who starts, you know, working up their openings, their
closings or anything out of AI, that's just suicide. That's
just professional suicide. And it would be wrong. And that's
the thing about jury's is man together together a jury,
(31:27):
It just so sniffs out anything phony. Any bs, what
were you going to say, Ryan, you were pretty animalosy.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
That's the authenticity part, Dan, because even in the newsroom
here we've talked about this, should you use AI chat
GPT to write news stories? And I wouldn't do that either.
I don't write them regularly. But I want my copy
or what I say. If I am going to have
a script, and I usually don't, it's got to be
in my voice. It's got to be my ideas, original
(31:54):
to me, so that when the listeners hear it, they
know it's me. And I don't want to pretend to
be somebody else or a robot. I don't want to
do that. And I know that you don't want to
do that in your law practice either.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Oh no, no, no, it would defeat the whole purpose.
And it is about everybody listening. You know it in
your own life, everything you do. Imagine if you're on
a jury and you've got six people together in a
civil case or twelve in a criminal case, and you're
all working together to find the truth, and so you
know you're your intenne, all of your intenne.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, you smoke out the phonies.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
You smoke out the phonies, you smoke out lies, You
smoke out evidence that isn't real.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
That's the great power of jury.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
So no, anybody who's going near to GPT, you know,
for that, that kind of stuff in the law practice,
I think would be crazy. And then I've got a
lot of text following up on the issue of Donald Trump.
And you know, my belief that that God saved Trump
in that Butler field, But what was.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Trump saved for?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Text or danies, God save President Trump for his leadership,
not for the Republicans, just to get the Democrats to
increase TDS.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
My own belief is.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I think, and it is such an interesting thing to
think about. If I'm right, if Trump's right, God save Trump,
why obviously this nation would have been torn apart.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
If that assassin had succeeded, which.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Odds were overwhelming that he should have, Thank God literally didn't.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
This country would have been torn apart. What do you
think the country would look like right now?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You know, we'd have a Republican president, but it wouldn't
have been President Trump, and it wouldn't have been President Trump.
It wouldn't have been you questioned my premise, Ryan, which
is excellent, Please fire back on that. But it wouldn't
have been President Trump and President Trump obviously off to
historically great start and I expect to be a historically
great finish. But country would have been torn apart and
(33:54):
we would not have had the benefit of you know,
the only Trump I think could have pulled off this,
you know, big start on Middle.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
East piece that he has totally and of.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
A sort of redrawing the lines worldwide, forging these new coalitions,
et cetera. Well, this Dan one strategy would be to
tenderize the Colorado electorate is so thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I'm going to get to that tomorrow. We'll get to
that and.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Tomorrow show Brian, thank you, my friend, for all your
great work. As always, everybody be safe tonight. I love
to have you back here Tomorrow at four oh six,
we'll talk about numbers are in the populations dropping in Colorado?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Why is it dropping? What does it mean for the
future of the state,

Steve Reims for doing such a great job on yesterday's show.
I mean, I am Caroline. We were back in Boston.
(00:23):
We're back for Joe's court competition and it's a big
event every year on his law school's calendar. It's probably
the most respected mood court competition in America. And Joe
was part of the winning team last night and it
was just a thrill to see it. Both teams were
(00:43):
so good. I'm telling you, just so good. I said
Damy afterwards. I've been practicing law forty years, hopefully another
forty ahead of me. But the lawyer and I saw
last night these third year law students and what they
call the Ames Competition.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It was top five best.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Lawyering I have seen in forty years and they're not
even out of law school yet.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Obviously, so proud of ourself, Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
But I'm watching something like that. If I'm in your shoes.
Obviously you have that background perspective. I wouldn't, but I'm
sitting there, So how is that scored? How much of
it do you think is subjective? How much is objective?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
How could you tell why Joe's team won?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Did you have a b That is such a great question, Ryan,
because what they do every year they often have US
Supreme Court justices judge it, and this year wasn't the case.
You know, there's just different litigation involving the school that
may make it to the US Supreme Court. But they
had fantastic For example, the woman who's been Solicitor General
(01:40):
for the last four years was one of the judges,
and you had these very impressive judges from other parts
of the country, and so they would judge it the
same way. You know, they well, I shouldn't say that
they judged the quality of the briefing. They judge the
quality of the oral argument. They judge the overall and
last night being so very good, I think what it
(02:03):
probably came down to was just the quality of the briefing.
And there you're talking about the difference between you know,
eight plus and a double plus, right, because the oral
lists were also amazing, but it was breathtaking and I
don't mean to sound like a law nerd, but for
a guy who's done this for a living for so long,
I just set back and thought, this is amazing to watch,
(02:23):
so a privilege would be back there. I probably celebrated
a little too much, like it was a football game
when the judges announced that Joe's team had won, and
I'm not sure you're.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Supposed to jump up, both fists.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
In the air and screen yeah, reacting that way.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, I think she jumped up before all.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
But it was this enormous packed auditorium and then they
had overflow rooms because on that campus it's.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
A really big deal and it should be. It was
just so impressive.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Sixty five teams competed, it cut down to the finals,
and I'm just so proud of ours son three or
three two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Gave me a lot of hope for
the future, just in terms of the quality of all
these kids last night. But that's a real story across America.
No matter what kids are studying or doing or whatever
(03:14):
is there are so many positive indicators about you know, this,
this group of young people, and part of that is
the surgeon faith.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And I'm going to try to do that topic tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
And so much of this it goes way beyond anecdotal,
and you've got the hard data of an I happen
to be Catholic, but within the Catholic Church, and I
know you're seeing this in other parts of Christianity as well,
just an explosion in church attendance and involvement. We went
to a church in Boston. It was noon on a Sunday,
(03:48):
which normally those aren't the big attended masses because you
got you know, football is about to start and everything
else overflowing, overflowing people and a big church standing up
and down the aisles, overflowing, so many of them, young people,
young families, everything else. There's something happening out there. And
so we'll do a full show on it. But if
(04:09):
you've got a thought as to, Okay, why is this happening?
Why is this surgeon faith? And I know what's happening
in Christianity, maybe happening in another face as well.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Why is that happening? Why this surge in the Catholic Faith.
I know in the Catholic Faith.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
One part of it is, you know, just a great
evangelical work being done by Father Mike Schmidtz. We had
the pleasure of watching him speak on Friday Night at
the Seats of Hope fundraiser. Just a Bible in a year,
Catechism in a year, Sunday Homilies with Father Mike. If
you've never heard it, whether you're an atheist, a Catholic,
something else, you know, dial into it because they're about
(04:46):
to hit.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
A billion downloads. He is that good.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Dan, listening to the station pass over and look above
Victor Marx's telltale of why Colorado will never have a
republic another Republican ever. I think Colorado will always have
at least one repub Publican.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Are you a Republican? Ryan? Are you registered Republican? Rock
ribbed Republican?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh yeah, very much, registered Republican. I try my best
to help when leadership reaches out to me.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Oh that's right. You're doing events now, MC and all that.
Pretty soon you'll run for office. What are you going
to learn?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Well, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
What are you going to run for something?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Like you?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I'd have to run on a race I felt I
could win, and I've talked about you know that with
George Brockler about George Brockler and why he wouldn't run,
because you and I both feel he's an amazing candle man, you.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Know, five tool player George.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
George had a couple of cycles that he set out
for family reasons where biring Martians landing. He you know,
he would have been elected to, for example, the US Senate.
But I completely respect him sitting out for family reasons
because for me, it's not so much I'd have to
be sure i'd win the race. In fact, there's something
that that I like even more about these races where
(06:00):
you look at it and say, there's no way any
Republican could win short of the Good Lord coming down
thrown on a red jersey. No Republican's running, and the
Lord's never going to do that, right because it's not
like one party is. I mean, obviously the GOP is
the vehicle for doing so many more things that are
consistent with one's Christian faith. But no, Lord's not going
(06:20):
to put on a red or blue jersey. R definitely
not a blue jersey, but neither. But short of that, no,
because to me, you know, and talks cheap, but that challenge,
to me would be another reason to get in take
it on what we're supposed to take on, tough fights.
So the hold up for me has always been family
and yeah, just you know it's that's just the concern,
(06:44):
and so what is this one of these days?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Point though, this listening to the station pass over and
look above Victor Marx is telltale of why Colorado will
never have another Republican ever.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I wish that person would call because I don't know
what they're talking about. I know I had and I
do this very often with all GOP candidates is men
will do a bio interview.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I've made no secret about it. Over the years, my
interviews with GOP candidates tend to be very friendly. And
that's that's for a few different reasons, one of which
is that, listen, I was a Democrat for years. I
wasn't born into the GOP, and I don't worship the GOP.
You know, it's not my got I came to the
(07:27):
GOP because I'm kicking and screaming, but I learned once
I got in it. You know how many great people
that are in abob all. They've got the right ideas
for stopping bad things and doing good things. And conservatism
is and I never would have believed this is a Democrat,
but conservatism is provably the very best vehicle to help
(07:52):
the pressed, to help the weekend defenseless, and to help
those people who haven't had a fair shot in life.
You know, all those people I grew up caring about
because my parents cared about him, my faith cares about him.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
The GOOPI is the best vehicle for that.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And then I found, much to my surprise, not only
the ideology.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
But the people.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
The people, and there were when I was a Democrats
are an awful lot of Democrats who truly cared about
the week in defenses, the downtrodden.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Et cetera.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But then they're part of this party that had changed
so much. You know, they were bad for those for
the week in defenses, in the downtrodden. And then the
gopiece so many people with big hearts who truly just
want to help those people who haven't had a fair shake.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
So no GPA.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So my point, Ryan is, listen, I do soft, easy,
friendly interviews with GOP candidates because we agree on so much.
I want them to succeed, I want them to win.
So I did one of those friendly biotype interviews with
Victor Marx and then Steve Adamin yesterday. Right, I heard
(09:04):
some of that show, and I don't know what this
texture wants.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's a fair interview. More specific.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
First of all, nobody's given him more airtime than this station.
So that's point one point two, am I. My position
would be iron Sharpen's iron. And for us to just
gloss over a candidate and not vet them properly doing
our job as radio hosts and journalists, that's for Victor
Marks's own good, so that he can get into the arena,
(09:31):
be sharpened on issues before he gets into a debate.
Let's say with Michael Bennet, if that were to be
at the stage. Don't want to walk into that unprepared.
Don't want Tom to walk into a primary debate unprepared
against Scott Bottoms, Barb Kirkmeyer, Greg Lopez, whoever else.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
He can't just float through this thing.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's the ultimate meritocracy, correct, It's the ultimate test. And
we understand in Colorado it's so slanted blue that you
could have the best Republican candidate ever and they might
still lose by nine points. We had some very very
good Republican candidates lose in recent years. But to your
point about iron sharpening iron, the whole idea is let
(10:11):
the best man or woman win. And I love watching
these candidates. You know, so many of these candidates get
so much better during the course of a campaign. And
so yeah, I give credit to Victor Marx for coming
in and sitting down with us for an hour and
just get everybody in. Let everybody ask the questions they
want to ask, get all the information on the table,
(10:32):
and like you say, make sure our nominee makes your
nominee has been fully tested. It's all out there, and
let's put up the very best nominee we can't whoever
that may be.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You're on the Dan Kaplas.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Show and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
The evangelical churches do not follow the lead of what the.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Kafflin bishops are doing right now. They will look back
on this time with the same shame that.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
They look back on the civil rights.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Erah, oh my goodness, does he have like lightning proof
windows at home in his car? And this this guy
lecturing Evangelical Christians, this guy who's never met a baby
killing He didn't like this guy who's the ultimate cheerleader
for mass abortion.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh yeah, but those evangelicals.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, No, if you don't agree with Joe Scarborough's open
borders policy, let everybody come in unvetted, including the criminal element.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh my goodness, Wow, the audacity of shamelessness.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So the day Joe Scarborough you agree with all the
great work being done by Evangelicals and Catholics and others
to save babies from being killed before births, then you
can talk with some authority on that. But even then
you'd be blown up here because how could somebody support
(12:01):
Catholic bishop sure isn't supporting just wide open borders with
no vetting of anybody coming in.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
No, no, they're not.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You know, supporting recognizing the inherent you know, human dignity
of each and evory individual and the need to treat
people with respect for that dignity as we work out
you know, the public policy of this country, yes, you bet.
And feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, whether they're
(12:33):
here legally or not when they're standing in front of
you in need, you bet. But this Joe Scarborough garbage,
give me a break. Yeah, And obviously that the future
of the Democratic Party. They've they've made it clear depends
upon these wide open borders and very large numbers of
people coming in. That's that's why they were willing to
(12:54):
allow along with the large majority of folks coming in illegally,
you know which count it just can't afford on an
unlimited basis. But along with those you had hundreds of thousands,
a small percentage, but a large enough number of people
to commit that large scale murder, rape, devastation, and the
(13:14):
Democrats welcomed them all in because for the Democrats it's
just about votes. That's why you got Michael Bennett and
John Nick and Loop are pushing a bill that would
prevent ICE from detaining anybody at a polling place.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It would prevent ICE.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
From detaining folks here illegally at polling places. So no,
the Democrats endgame is clear. And for so Scarborough trying
to shame Christians for not endorsing his open borders policy,
give me a break, but you know they tried to
do that before election day, etc. And it gets no
(13:50):
traction because it's ludicrous on his face, and people are smart.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
See that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Leftists like Scarborough think people are dumb because they live
in this echo chamber, this bubble where if you don't
think the way they do, if you don't have their money,
if you don't have their power, then you're just some
sort of peasant they and guess what, in the end,
you know.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Who the really smart people are.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The really smart people are the people who have an
opposite worldview of Scarborough. And the smart people are winning
three all three he's seven one three, eight two five
five text.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
D An five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Let's see textures and fuego. Let's start with those who disagree.
Thank you for that, Dan. I disagree. Basically, God did
put on a red jersey with President Trump being elected
the third time and surviving all the.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Attacks, fascinating text.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
As I've said before, my own personal belief is that
President Trump was saved in that Butler Field by God,
by divine intervention. But I don't think he was saved
because he's a Republican or to benefit the Republican Party
or anything like that. My own personal belief is that
he was saved in order to stop bad things do
(15:07):
good things. And I agree with the founders. You go
back to the Declaration of Independence. You know this the
very last line that the Founders, who were highly likely
to lose and end up being hung. You know, the
founder said, with reliance on divine providence, we pledge to
you our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor. The Founders
(15:28):
believed in divine providence for this nation. Why because this
nation has a really nice land and great climate and
everything else. No, this nation was going to be the
beacon of freedom. Freedom means religious liberty, and so I believe,
as the Founders did, that God has blessed this nation
(15:48):
at every turn, including when we didn't deserve it, you know,
because this nation was going to be that beacon of
liberty and freedom. And without this nation, the world has
fallen into darkness in the nineteen forties at the latest.
So I agree with the Founders on that, and I
think the saving of President Trump was part of that.
But I don't think that was done to benefit the
(16:09):
Republican Party. Can you imagine, and I'm sure you probably have, well,
the ways this country would have been torn apart had
that assassin succeeded in that Butler field. We should do
a whole show on that sometime. What would this nation
have looked like from that moment? Forward if that assassin
(16:30):
had succeeded, and it would would not only have been
the fact that the man who was clearly going to
become president didn't be a great president, you know, had
been gone down, But how could you have blamed any
rational person for thinking that there was some kind of
broader conspiracy in taking him out when there is no
(16:50):
way in any kind of rational civilized nation that that
killer should have been able to get that close to
the president. So this nation would have been torn apart
in ways we haven't even imagined yet, let alone talked about.
And then all of the good that Trump's doing, including
stopping bad yeah, we would have been deprived of that.
So now I don't think Texter it was done to
(17:13):
benefit the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I really am I wrong in this.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Logically Trump has done great things for the Republican Party,
and we've talked about a lot of those on air,
But I don't see Trump and the Republican Party as one.
And that's why there is this fair question as to
whether this success is going to be there after Trump's
second term is finished.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I think it there's a good chance it will be,
but it's.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Not a sure thing because I see Trump as really
a separate force, a separate entity. I'm glad he's been
associated with the Republican Party. I'm glad he's delivered on
so many core principles and beliefs and goals of.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
The Republican Party.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But no, I think he was saved for a bigger purpose,
and I think he's been fulfilling that three or three
someone three eight, two five five the number I asked
chet GPT what is the healthiest burger? Results when we
come back, I think you'll be surprised.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Sitting down to a really great meal, because no matter
who you are, everyone loves something at McDonald's. It's always
something to have. I like the fish, I like it.
You could do a little bit more tatos please. I
(18:37):
hate when I said.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You have any tar? Do you understand that?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yes, even the president kick get enough turto sauce. But
it does raise a really good question, what is the
healthiest burger and a fast food place? And is that
healthiest burger healthy enough? And the reason I asked this
question right now maybe you're thinking the same thing is
(19:01):
I've kind of reached the point, you know, after COVID,
we all started to do. You know, during COVID, the
order in thing, and then you know, those delivery charges everything.
They were brutal, but you sucked.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It up because hey, it's COVID and everything else.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And then you know, after COVID, restaurants are just so expensive.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And so.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I've been a lawyer for forty years. I make a
decent living. We can afford to go out and have
dinner in a decent restaurant. But it's starting to drive
me crazy where every meal, no matter what you get,
it's like every meal, no matter what you get, all
of a sudden, two people go out and you're hitting
seventy five or one hundred bucks, and it's like, what,
(19:44):
I know, what's going on here? So it has me
seriously thinking McDonald's again, because it used to be not
be at McDonald's. When I was single, I'd often be
at McDonald's five days a week.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
So I'm starting to think of some more McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
So I just googled up here what's the most healthy
fast food burger?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
This is chat GPT. I didn't google it. Hey do
you right now?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I probably am on one AI source or another. Eighty
percent of the time at Google now twenty percent?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
How about you?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I don't use it that much quite frankly, it's kind
of interesting, but I I don't know. I'm kind of
leary of it. I'm old man about that, like oh,
and to do that sometimes I do.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
And it's interesting ten miles to the snows, wheat nail
boards on our feet to ski.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Exactly what happened?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I know I'm behind the times, and no, I'm excited
for you because the truth is, once you start using it,
I know it's it's stunning. And I'm not saying this
is trust, but verify all that could speak up. But sure,
here's okay, I chat GPT. If you're looking for the
healthiest fast food burger from major US chains, here are
the best options based on caloriees, saturated fat, sodium, and
(20:57):
overall ingredient simplicity. None are healthy in an absolute sense,
but they are surprisingly reasonable choices. Okay, And I'd love
to know for folks, I got to go. Do you
think the healthiest fast food burger is?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Three? Or three?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Someone?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Three eight two five five d N five seven seven
three nine. What's your guest?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I guess will be different than my favorite because my favorite.
This might shock you. It's what a burger.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I have not had one.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
You got to go down to the springs. I thought
they were.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
There's a couple in the Spring, Colorado Springs area.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
They are dan.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
It reminds me of what Burger King used to be
like in the eighties when they're they flame broiled there. Yeah,
they're really flame broiler.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
It's all good.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I yes, by the way, flat well, it tastes like
I said, it tastes like burger asked.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You say, hey, can I see.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
The flame in the kitchen. I'm going to check if
you got to go back.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
In the kitchen. They're not flame broiled it.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
If they were flame broiled, they would show you them
being cooked like the old round the Corner.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Maybe the greatest burger ever made.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh yeah, Amy and I were talking the other day.
We'd love to open one one of those. You should
when I knew the owner around the current at one
point because he came to my big fight in the
CU Basketball Arena when they sold out the arena. I
wasn't the only one fighting, but I was fighting light
heavyweight that night and he came to the fight. They
were ringside, and I had a pretty good night. My
opponent did not, and then he invited our whole crew to.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Around the corner. Nice. But I lost touch with them
because all I'm saying is we'd love to open one.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I guess is shake check?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Shake Check's pretty? Oh no, no, no not according to chatchypt
in and Out. That's but shake check is really good.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
You and me love both love in and out?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Is that on the list on the top I'm trying
to read, trying to read top healthiest fast food burgers
major chains? This according to chat GPT, Number one, drum
roll please. And I know it's like an old man thing,
but how do we not have a drum roll on
our button bar?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Drum roll please? Okay McDonald's no fooling.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
According to chat GPT, Wyatt wins very simple ingredients, modest calories,
low saturated fat compared to others. Two hundred and fifty
calories nine grams fat, three grams saturated, five hundred and
ten milligrams of sodium, twelve grams protein. Best option if
you want the cleanest, low impact burger. Number two Windy's Junior.
(23:18):
Is there a difference between Wendy's and Wendy's Junior?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Now here.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I'm gonna intercept it just for a moment, because the one,
the two you just described have much smaller.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Patties than some of the other chains.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Oh okay, that might be yet, but they address that here. Chet.
It's not a dummy. It's not like dummy GPT. Dummy GPT.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh what would dummy GPT say? The best brower is anyway,
Wendy's Junior, slightly larger, with still moderate nutrition. Two forty calories,
ten grams fat, four saturated four to fifty milligrams sodium,
fourteen grams protein, best balance of calories, protein and sodium.
But they say nothing about taste, and no offense to
(23:58):
the fine people who work at Wendy's.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
My sister used to work there. I've never liked that burger,
really never.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Never, you do, I like it if you get like
a double or a triple, But the junior one, you're
talking all the burger's like the size of a silver.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Dollar, which could be good for you.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Number three Burger king Hamburger very close to McDonald's nutritionally,
says chant GPT. Two forty calories ten gram fat, three
point five sat, five sixty milligrams sodium, thirteen grams protein,
a good low calorie option. Salt is a bit higher
than McDonald's. Okay, now this is if there's one thing
ever that is cast out on chant GPT for me,
(24:33):
because I think generally speaking, it's a good starting point source. Sure,
not ending, but starting number four. In and out. But
here's the deal, in and out protein style hamburger.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Let us wrap. Nobody's eating that except my wife. I'm sorry.
Nobody is eating that is though, if.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You want lowest carbs and clean ingredients. Two hundred and
forty calories, seventeen grams of fat, thirteen grams of protein,
much lower sodium, the most chance I have to bring
my own salt. Yeah, so healthiest bigger burger.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
There we go. Interest I'm talking about that would be
shake shack.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I knew it.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, high quality ingredients, but kolaric. How do you even
say this word? Calorically richer? It's not even a word.
Three hundred and sixty calories, nineteen grams fat, eight grams sat,
seven forty milligrams sodium, twenty grams protein.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
But again, this is a bigger burger.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
That's right, all right?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
What are the worst?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Chat GPT says avoid these carls Jr. The bacon eator,
double quarter pounder whoppers with cheese, any monster style burger,
Oh no, overall winter McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, President Trump's onto something. Yeah, he's a tank, he's
big Max like every day I am. I even got
really hungry right now for McDonald's.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You said you haven't had a McDonald's berger in a
long time.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Any used to be every day, and I haven't. I
just kind of fell out of the habit.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
But truly, what it's cost you need at restaurants now
I know, or even I might try to withdraw my order.
I just texted Amy about ordering in some Chinese tonight,
and what's your favorite Chinese?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Tell her Amy, we're going to McDonald's instead, Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
She would.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
She loves McDonald's. Dan Carl Junior's Western spicy burger.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
That sounds good.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Dan McDonald's was sued into a healthier mode. Interesting back story.
I have no problem with that. Like so many cars
you drive right now are so much safer because of lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, guy handled that. Some products cases against Ford.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
They they used to make, in my opinion, some really
risky vehicles. And then there were a whole bunch of
lawsuits and then Ford became a safety leader.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Safety leader.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know, we bought Ford for for our kids when
it was that time.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I drive a Ford and people make fun of me,
and I'll tell you right now it man, just the
stuff I see my job doing catastrophic injury.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
And death work.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Man, I would eat dog food in order to be
able to buy the safest thing I could for the
kids and for Amy and for me. It just makes
such a difference. What car here now, I don't care
what carrier. And if you don't put the seatbelt on.
You know, it was Princess Diana, right, She would have
walked away without a scratch if she had a seat
belt on. But may and no, Ford is making some
(27:26):
really good safe cars. You want to check each individually.
And I always recommend people check not the government rating, No,
that's useful data, but check the Insurance Institute rating. Because
they got a dog in the fight, they got money
in that fight, and so yeah, check those ratings. Also, Dan,
what does chat TPT tell you about those burgers made
(27:47):
with pink slime?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
The real rolf?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Thanks Jroelff, you just ruined everything pink slime. Yeah, yeah,
Carl's junior McDonald's suit into healthier mode. Need to eat
for five Windy's.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Okay, I think.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That'll be the end of that. I'm so hungry now.
I wish the show is over at least rolled over
to McDonald's. But we have some more ground to cover
when we come back. Three or three someone three eight
two five five d an five seven seven three nine.
I want to tell you what I think the President
did wrong on the Epstein thing. Starting point being I'm
convinced he's completely innocent, no nefarious activity, but just the
(28:28):
handling this whole thing, and what I think he should
do now going forward, because this should be the Democrats problem.
You know, the Democrats are so dirty on this Epstein thing.
How how can the President get this back on track?
Here on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Oh thank you for that. Right always brings back good
memories for everybody.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I think we had fed into chat GPT the healthiest
fast food burger, and it came back with McDonald's, which
I think because interesting to a lot of us, but
has me really hungry. For one, We've been talking about
some AI as well, and we've got some important segments
coming up on that because none of us can know
for sure, but but all indications are it's going to
dramatically change that the face of the workforce and end
(29:18):
of the job market very soon. In fact, it's happening
right now. Alexa text Dan me picturing you on AI
prompting best closing argument that would be better than Dan
Kaplis's last closing argument in the largest award ever against
a trucker. That from Alexa, I can tell you this,
I never will mark my words before God. I will
(29:40):
never ever ever feed into chat GPT anything like that
for my law practice. Never, never, never going to be
a closing argument opening anything like that. Now listen, because
I mean to me that just it all comes down
to every now and then somebody's kind enough to say, Okay,
what's that's the key to this success? And if there's
(30:03):
if there's one word, you'd bring it, two words, you'd
bring it down to. And I don't mean to be
goodie two shoes, but I'm just being honest with your truth.
Truths like that sign in our office, the truth wins.
And then also just authenticity. One of the greatest lawyers
I've ever known, Ryan, he was the dean of the
law school, a guy named Dan Hoffman. I started at DU,
(30:23):
ran out of money, finished at CU Law. Dan Hoffman
was the dean at DU, tremendous, one of the greatest
trial layers in state history. And I asked him one day,
what's your key? And he just said, authenticity. Just be
real that don't worry about every word being right, every
paragraph being right in a sentence. Just be authentic, be real,
(30:46):
be you. And again, I think that is one thousand
percent essential. And that's why I would never in a
million years go anywhere near AI. If you're a lawyer
and you're a young lawyer, you're an old lawyer, whatever,
and you're trying to write an open betting, a closing argument,
anything like that. If you're talking about data and finding
data out there as you prep for this or prep
(31:06):
for that, it's one of many sources you'd consider. But
anybody who starts, you know, working up their openings, their
closings or anything out of AI, that's just suicide. That's
just professional suicide. And it would be wrong. And that's
the thing about jury's is man together together a jury,
(31:27):
It just so sniffs out anything phony. Any bs, what
were you going to say, Ryan, you were pretty animalosy.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
That's the authenticity part, Dan, because even in the newsroom
here we've talked about this, should you use AI chat
GPT to write news stories? And I wouldn't do that either.
I don't write them regularly. But I want my copy
or what I say. If I am going to have
a script, and I usually don't, it's got to be
in my voice. It's got to be my ideas, original
(31:54):
to me, so that when the listeners hear it, they
know it's me. And I don't want to pretend to
be somebody else or a robot. I don't want to
do that. And I know that you don't want to
do that in your law practice either.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Oh no, no, no, it would defeat the whole purpose.
And it is about everybody listening. You know it in
your own life, everything you do. Imagine if you're on
a jury and you've got six people together in a
civil case or twelve in a criminal case, and you're
all working together to find the truth, and so you
know you're your intenne, all of your intenne.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, you smoke out the phonies.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
You smoke out the phonies, you smoke out lies, You
smoke out evidence that isn't real.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
That's the great power of jury.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
So no, anybody who's going near to GPT, you know,
for that, that kind of stuff in the law practice,
I think would be crazy. And then I've got a
lot of text following up on the issue of Donald Trump.
And you know, my belief that that God saved Trump
in that Butler field, But what was.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Trump saved for?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Text or danies, God save President Trump for his leadership,
not for the Republicans, just to get the Democrats to
increase TDS.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
My own belief is.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I think, and it is such an interesting thing to
think about. If I'm right, if Trump's right, God save Trump,
why obviously this nation would have been torn apart.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
If that assassin had succeeded, which.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Odds were overwhelming that he should have, Thank God literally didn't.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
This country would have been torn apart. What do you
think the country would look like right now?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You know, we'd have a Republican president, but it wouldn't
have been President Trump, and it wouldn't have been President Trump.
It wouldn't have been you questioned my premise, Ryan, which
is excellent, Please fire back on that. But it wouldn't
have been President Trump and President Trump obviously off to
historically great start and I expect to be a historically
great finish. But country would have been torn apart and
(33:54):
we would not have had the benefit of you know,
the only Trump I think could have pulled off this,
you know, big start on Middle.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
East piece that he has totally and of.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
A sort of redrawing the lines worldwide, forging these new coalitions,
et cetera. Well, this Dan one strategy would be to
tenderize the Colorado electorate is so thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I'm going to get to that tomorrow. We'll get to
that and.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Tomorrow show Brian, thank you, my friend, for all your
great work. As always, everybody be safe tonight. I love
to have you back here Tomorrow at four oh six,
we'll talk about numbers are in the populations dropping in Colorado?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Why is it dropping? What does it mean for the
future of the state,

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
