Speaker 2 (00:14):
Time Now for the second hour, Jimmy Sangenberger filling in
for Dan Kapolis on a beautiful Monday afternoon heading into
the evening. Now, good to be with you as we
are joined now by syndicated columnists and hosts of the
podcast Rubin in the center, Ruben Naverte, and he joins me.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Now, Hello, my friend, good to talk with you.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Good to talk with you. Thank you. And I appreciate
you joining us today. And I wanted to bring you on.
There are a number of.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Directions that we can go with you, but I wanted
to bring you on in particular because you had an epiphany,
an epiphany about both Old Trump and Kamala Harris that
I thought, you know what we should talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
What was that epiphany, Ruben?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
That's been building for a while, Jimmy. You know, the
Trump people have such a low opinion of Kamala Harris.
The Harris people have such a low opinion of Donald Trump.
I think it's interesting, given these competing low opinions, that
these two candidates are tied. They're completely tied. They're in
a deadlock. Neither one of these candidates seems to be
(01:27):
able to dispense with the others as easily as you
would think given the low opinion they have of them.
And so to give me, I give how tied we
are If you look at the polls, all the polls
show a tie within the margin of error. The seven
battleground states are pretty much in a deadlock, a dead heat.
We say that in a story Today's Washington Post. It
doesn't get any closer than this. So I wondered what
(01:50):
that said about. For instance, Harris's support. If she's facing somebody,
she has various advantages on her side. She's raised over
a billion dollars, she starts with a relative blank slate,
She's got youth and energy on her side. She's run
against an older opponent who's been convicted multiple times, divided
the country, and has at least fifteen million people out
(02:10):
there raid to vote against him, and she can't pull
off anything better than a tie. And then on the
other side, You've got Donald Trump, who is likewise running
against somebody who can't communicate effectively, cannot communicate effectively, someone
who is saddled to a Biden administration with many failures
attached to it. He has his strength clearly, one hundred
(02:32):
percent name recognition, he's the foreign president, he's done the
job before, he has people who would walk over hot
poles for him, and still he can't do better than
a tie. So I thought, what does this mean? You
know the fact that neither one of these candidates can
easily dispense with the other, And I concluded obviously that
these are too bad candidates. Anybody who tells themselves anything different,
(02:53):
that's just you know, they're lying to themselves. I speak
to Harris people all the time who say, well, she's
not doing great, our favorite candidate, but you know she's
not as bad as Trump, and vice versa. The Trump
people say, I don't really like the guy on trust
the guy, but Harris is as terrible, so I'm gonna
have to vote for the guy. And ultimately, this is
a conclusion that we are where we are because these
are two miserably underqualified and unqualified candidates. The country isn't
(03:18):
so much voting for either of them as voting against
the other.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So I'm curious for' beenever at a when we look
at Kamala Harris. I don't know people who are very
excited and enthusiastic about Harris, but I have to tell you,
especially having just gone to Donald Trump event a rally
in Aurora, Colorado, just a couple of weeks ago, that
there are Trump supporters who are rapidly pro Trump, devoted
(03:43):
to the guy in so many ways they will do
what they can break their back to support him, to
go out to rallies. I mean, the line, I have
to tell you, the line at this rally was blocks
and blocks and blocks. They had overflow outside. It was
quite extraordinary in that respect. Isn't there at least something
to be said for a candidate who has a strong,
(04:05):
reliable base of support that's passionate, enthusiastic, versus a candidate
who doesn't have that kind of enthusiasm for them and
is more pronounced in terms of, you know, the other guys,
the danger to democracy and needs.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
To be defeated, that negativity.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
There's something to be said for having a strong base
of support. There's also something to be said for money.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Phil Graham, the former former senator from Texas, used to
say that Ready Cash is a politician's best friend. Tamala
Harris raised over a billion dollars. There's no doubt that
Trump supporters would like to be able to say that
they raised a billion dollars, but they haven't. And when
I see, you know, on Facebook and elsewhere, these images,
these videos of Trump of Harris rallies. She filled stadiums,
(04:50):
She fills stadiums full of people. Now, just because in
my circle, I don't know a lot of Harris supporters,
and I think I probably do, and I probably know
a lot of Trump supporters, it makes my head spend.
But there are a lot of Harris supporters out there.
Some of them are drawn to her, some of them
are drawn to the fact that he's not Trump. There's
so much hate Trump. But clearly you don't just fall
out of bed one morning and raise a billion dollars,
(05:13):
And any Republican that says otherwise, it's kidding themselves.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
One of the things that Kamala Harris has is significant
support among a lot of Hollywood types, folks with a
lot of money that they can contribute that certainly is
one thing that helps. But I want to ask you something.
Yesterday this happened something rather unusual for a former president
and want to be president.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
I'm looking for Jeff and I've always wanted to work
at McDonald's.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
I never did.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I'm running against somebody that said she did, but to
be a totally sony show. So let's trump. But that's
a good looking group.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Hello everybody. I'm having a lot of fun here.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
Everybody. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Let's both submit that this was a staged event. It
obviously was going to be, because you know the guy
I has had two attempted assassinations of him. He's running
for president. Secret Service is not going to let random
people pull up to the McDonald's drive through. But what
did you make of that decision by Trump to be
there and work so quote unquote work at McDonald's for
(06:16):
a day. I found it to be something that was
actually really relatable.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Do you agree?
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Before I get to that me because I'm moroven in
the center, Lane pushed back against the idea of celebrities
contributing a lot of money to Pamla Harris. You may
have caught that story about Elon Musk to donating fifty
million dollars one person fifty million dollars in his pack
to former President Trump. Sure, so there's money all over
the place and everybody does it. But to your point
about McDonald's, Yeah, I actually found it relatable, charming, endearing.
(06:48):
I think it was a great move by Trump. It
wasn't that long ago that Democrats would do things like this.
Bill Clinton did a lot of things like this, Yes,
when he ran for president successfully in nineteen eighty two,
to McDonald's and running around and jogging and playing the
saxophone arseni ol hall and just doing everything you could
just sort of say, you know, I'm a regular guy.
This is what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That's to me.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
The Democrats of owl, the Democrats today don't do that.
They're much stiffer, more programmed. They don't like their candidates
to take chances to be normal, relatable people. And so
this was definitely a win for Trump. And it was
a win not just because it came off well, you know,
trumpets to drive through handing thing. Here's your hunt, it's
on Trump. I mean, that's just great, that's just great stuff.
(07:30):
But its also came he came off well because he
cropped I was contrasting in my mind all the missed
opportunities for Harris Yes, and the things that she's passed on.
She's been way too careful. She didn't go to the
Catholic diner or the Al Smith dinner in New York.
Many many mistakes and missed opportunities. So Ruben and the
Center says, good one for Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Ruben Everrette, our guest human is left here on the
Dan Kaplis Show. Jimmy Sangenberger for Dan. Yeah, I think
there's something to be said for doing something that connects
with people and a very visceral personal way, making yourself relatable,
personable and authentically fun. Like he was having a good time,
and that's what people want to see more of somebody
(08:11):
like Trump, where you often have Rubin this vindictiveness that
can show up where he says the nicknames or he
does the tweets and what have you that gets so
many people to recoil at him. But when you see
this kind of thing from a politician, it is like
political gold, and I think we should see a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
More of it.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
One of the things that Trump did and this selection
that cringed me out, and I think it's disqualifying is
when he basically, in a speech that mostly Jewish audience,
said that if I lose this election, I'm gonna blame
the Jews. I mean, look it up right, I heard it,
I heard Michael met that, my friend and others talk
about it. If it didn't set well with a lot
of Jewish conservatives, that's my mind as serious business. That's
a lot more serious than who he had a club
(08:51):
at McDonald's. You know, that was a stunt. I think democrats,
and I think democrats need to have some humility in
this space. They're calling this a stunt. They're saying, well,
it's just a stunt. What did they call it when
Kamala Harris went on a late night talk show and
had a beer? You know, was that not a stunt?
When Hillary Waft and she was running in twenty sixteen,
(09:12):
walked into a bar and Orlds and ordered like a
cron royal. I mean, Democrats do this stuff too. And
this is the part that drives me nuts. Both political
parties have really short memories, Jimmy, really short memories when
it's their cat had to pull the stunt, and all
of a sudden, well, my opponent pulled the stunt, and yeah,
we're going to discount that.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So sure, although I would say in terms of Kamala
Harris with the beer, that did not play off well.
That seemed like it was a fourth moment versus McDonald's.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
But it was a stunt. It was a stunt on
the left. The Democrats are on the ice when they
poo pooed the Trump you know act McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, so let me ask you final question before we
let you go, Rubin never ready, Where do we go
from here? We're just as of tomorrow, two weeks from
election day, early voting already underway in the States. How
do you think this thing plays out over the next
couple of weeks?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I'll say what Mark Helprin and another political analysts have
said that clearly be given what we're looking at here,
we're going to have three weeks from now fifty to
seventy five really angry Americans in either camp. This is
not going to be two sides to come over, shake hands,
say good game, you know, congratulations. Either Democrats or Republicans
(10:22):
are going to feel like this was stolen. And it
goes back to something you said earlier. If you operate
in a circle with very few Republicans and you don't
know a single person who supports Kamala Harris. Or on
the other side, if you're surrounded by blue people who
support Harris and don't know a single person who votes
for Trump, guess what, You're going to be surprised on
election night. You're going to think you were robbed. You
were going to think the single was stolen because nobody
(10:43):
in here circle voted for the other person. But that's
an indictment of the political system or the vote count.
That's an indictment of you. You need to get out
of your shell more often to meet more people.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, you know, I think there are two things in
that regard. One is meeting voters or knowing people who
will vote for Hairs. I know so many people who
will do that. But then it's also who's enthusiastic for
that candidate. And that's something that I think you can
you can sort of notice and weigh a little bit.
That may or may not be an indication of where
(11:12):
things will go, But it also depends on the state
that you're in, and that will be something to watch.
Rubin Neverette syndicated columnist. Check out his podcast and all
the platforms. Ruben in the Center. Always great to talk
with you, my friend. Thanks for taking some time today.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Thank you to me, take care of me.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Thank you once again.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Ruben Neverette, syndicated columnist joining us at Rubin Neverette on Twitter. Well, X,
we've got to go to a break. Ryan's giving me
the signal. I'm Jimmy Sangenberg covering for Dan Kaples.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
And now back to the Dan Kapless Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Oh I was Ruben Neverette was still here, Ruben in
the Center joining us in the last segment. Stuck in
the middle. That's for Darren Shor.
Speaker 10 (11:56):
Jimmy's sure. I'm wondering this guy, you know what's of
critics sides?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I don't know. I really don't know who he'd vote
for between the two.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Maybe libertarian or third party somehow.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Pre do you feel about RFK Junior?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I wonder do you know that I have not really
talked to him about RFK. My guess is he probably
doesn't find him especially impressive, but it would be interesting
to get his thoughts.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
This is the thing I do love about Reuben. He
is in the center.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
He plays to you know, will criticize both sides.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
Who would be his perfect ideal candidate would be my
question for.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Him, A good question.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
Who would he be willing to support and why? What
would that because anybody, you know, there's a lot of swears.
I would say, if Jimy and I were having a
beer right now and he was doing the Blues Show,
you know what I'm talking anybody can let me try
to clean it up, can crap on everything and everyone
around him.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
That's easy.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
When is there a candidate who's good enough that, you
know what, lesser of two evils, even if you're looking
at that way, I'm going to vote for that.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, I think that's a good point, a good question.
It would be an interesting point of discussion with Ruben
never ready again joining us in the last segment. Now
Ralph and Denver is joining us at eighty five five
four h five eighty two fifty five.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Good afternoon, Ralph.
Speaker 11 (13:16):
Hello Jimmy, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Good to help you on what's going on?
Speaker 11 (13:20):
Man, Well, I just want to comment on the McDonald
siasco of the other day. I want to make sure
that your your listeners are getting a straight scoop.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
According to NBC News, the franchise was closed for normal
business hours during the photo op. The customers who went
through the drive through were pre selected by the franchise
and the local Trump campaign team. According to a person
familiar with the events.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Ralph, let me ask you, if you were going to
do something like this and your campaign was one that
had a guy you who survived to assassination attempts, would
you or would you not do exactly what you just
described in order to screen out the people?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Are you missing? I mean to me very answer the question.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
First.
Speaker 11 (14:13):
Well, by some accounts, the photo op was so fake
that the customers never actually ordered any food. They simply received.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Oh come on, Ralph, wait a second. You were missing
the point here.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
The point is not that all the different things were
going exactly as they would if he was working the
day at McDonald's. Although he did, we saw the video.
He did make French fries. He did do a little
bit of that, which is valuable in and of itself.
For yes, guess what the photo op, because Ralph, it
was all about relatability. We were just talking with Ruben
(14:49):
Navaretta about that. How this is an instance where Trump
saw an opportunity to play into the hole mythos of
Kamala Harris having supposedly worked at McDonald's, even oh, there's
no evidence that that's the case, and then he's having
a great time at this franchise location. How do you
not see the point of that beyond the aspects that
(15:11):
you were pointing to to try and nitpick, respectfully, Ralph.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Well, if it was stage, yes, it wasn't a real
The owner of the McDonald's is a supporter against okay,
so and he said it all up, so it was
not real.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okayam me a political event where the candidate does not
have a stage thing like even when Kamala Harris goes
on with Stephen Colbert's Rupin pointed out as well.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And opens up a beer. You don't think that that
was planned ahead and staged.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Although she didn't come across as like she was authentic
in that, I will tell.
Speaker 11 (15:50):
You all right, Ralph, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Jimmy, I do appreciate the call. Thank you very much.
Let's go to Sandy in Pueblo. Good afternoon, Sandy. You're
on with Jimmy and for Dan.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Why there, I was just listening to mister Nat and
Rhett talk about the funding that Kamala Harris was getting
the billions of dollars billionaire, and I wanted to mention
that I was watching Elon Musk the other night in
a conversation with Tucker Carlson, and he shed some light
(16:27):
on that and that there are a couple of billionaires.
I can't think of their names right offhand, but he
named them did, saying that the reason behind their gigantic
donations really is so much in support of her, it's
what will happen to them if Trump wins, because there
(16:51):
are three Epstein's list.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Oh well, I don't know about the Epstein aspect. I
think there are a number of reasons why they would
feel something at could happen to them when Trump is
the president of the United States, that there are a
variety of reasons why it's not in their interest to
have Trump and and I think that actually says a
lot about the value that Trump is bringing in this campaign, right.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Right, I certainly do too.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Transparency, Yeah, well, Sandy, I appreciate the call. That's an
interesting observation from Elon Musk. And I'll also say, in
terms of Elon his pack, that he's got where he
is is put together now seventy five million dollars for
his America pack and he's giving away these million dollar
checks each day to voters, registered voters who sign his petition.
(17:43):
I think that is legal, particularly because because there's a
lot of discussion, all the media is raising questions is
this legal?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Is this not?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
What he is doing is brilliant get out the vote effort.
Let's collect as much information about voters in these pivotal
states as we can through well.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
This whole thing.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh, you can win a million dollars in the sweepstakes
for signing this petition, and then they can go out
there and get them out to vote after that, just
for signing up. I'm Jimmy Sangenberger. Keep it here in
for Dan Caples.
Speaker 9 (18:21):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Now buff Never Never Surrender.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Jimmy Sangenburger back with you in for Dan Caples. Today
we will get back to the phones and the texts.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
We have some texts that I've been meaning to get to.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Keep those texts coming by the way at five seven, seven,
three nine, and the calls coming to at eight five five,
four oh five eighty two fifty five. But first before
we get back to you, guys. I want to welcome
to the program. Natalie Tennant, who is helping to put
(19:00):
it on the Never Surrender Rally, the America First rally
and concert coming up on Saturday, November second, just a
few days before election day.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Natalie, Good, afternoon, Jimmy, how are you?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I am doing great? So wait a second before we
get to the specifics. Why never surrender?
Speaker 8 (19:26):
That comes from our beloved President Donald Trump after his
first arrest in the mugshot, he said, I will never surrender,
and it just it really lit a fire.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
We did a.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Rally the end of December and we were able to
gather about sixteen hundred cars. Sixteen hundred people will say,
so divide that by two, and it just really lit
a fire in me to create a movement, so to speak.
So New Year's Eve was the of Never Surrender, and
we've done amazing things. It's community within community, it's educating people.
(20:06):
It's having those tough conversations politically, because sometimes we just
want to rip each other's heads off, right, So it's
bringing transparency to things and let's look at the situation,
not the people.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
So with that, I love to apply my flags.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
I am very patriotic and I love my country. So
this is kind of like a I mean, I know
we're all fatigued due to you know, campaign fatigue, and
this I want to be a celebration to bring the
people back together. Come join us, Let's have a day
of fun, food, freedom and love of country and obviously
(20:45):
our support for President Trump.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, I mean, I'm reminded, of course, Natalie Tenant of
that now infamous rally in July where Trump was just
narrowly hit in his ear by a bar, surviving that
assassination attempt.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
And what did he do?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
He got back up, he put up his fist and
he said fight, fight, fight, echoing the sentiment of never surrender.
So what's the plan for this rally and what's going
to happen on November two?
Speaker 8 (21:18):
So even even since I was on Ryan earlier today,
we're adding more. I'm trying to make this is eventful
and is fun for everybody, all ages. So we do
have confirmed faith Painter. There's a maze for the kids
and the indoor mains for the kids. There, but a
couple of unique things that I wanted to put together.
(21:40):
We wanted to put together is we're doing a package
for the Young Republicans. I am so proud of them
and I'm I am so excited to see so much
more of these groups building within each county that we
wanted to give them a discount as a thank you.
So we're offering VIP.

Tickets to them at hop Off the VIP pages one
twenty five. What that includes is all day food, open bar,
you get shaded.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
VIP seating, and you get backstage. So with that, we
want to encourage and thank the Young Republicans for all
the work. I mean, they got boots on the ground,
so we're giving them half off of that kind of
a twofer.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Now, is that.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Those nally I just want to jump in? Is that
for those who are members of the Young Republicans organization? Yes, Jimmy, okay, good,
good to clarify. Yeah, keep going with those details real quick.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
You once again.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Natalie Tennant joining us Never Surrender National dot Com.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
How could I say no?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
And in fact, in the next segment, we will go
out at the end of the show with a little
harmonica the Never Surrender Blues Jam live just yours true.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Wow, that's quite a preview. We'll do it.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
We'll have it, just love it, take it. We'll take
us out on the Dan Taplis show.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Take us out.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
We'll do it live, do it live, channeling your inner Bill.
O'Reilly right there? Ryan, I appreciate all right, before we
run to our break, let's squeeze in Tom in Trinidad
at eight five five four oh five eighty two fifty five.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Good afternoon, Tom. What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Hey, Jimmy, Thanks for taking my call. Ryan. You and
I are brothers, h right, a bit older than you,
but I really love your train of thought and appreciate
you all the way. My point here is everybody says
that Trump isn't through power. I had my construction company
(25:54):
in southeastern Pennsylvania. I even knew the people and worked
for were the people that own the Atlantic City Hotel
in Atlantic City, New Jersey that Trump ultimately bought. Trump
has put more jobs out there for carpenters, yes, for welders,
(26:18):
for electricians, for plumbers, for iron workers, for all the
people that work going golf courses. And they say he's
not blue collar. I have watched people build their own homes,
get their own mortgages, and he has helped thousands of
(26:39):
people on the East Coast and many other places to
get the American dream in their pocket. And you never
hear that from anyone. The man is astronomical in building.
And maybe he never drove the nail. But I'll tell
(27:00):
you what great point. People around him drove nails everywhere
on the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
And he interacted with them, related to them very personal way.
And I recall I'm trying to remember some of the specifics,
but my late one of my late great aunts who
passed away nearly twenty years ago. She her boyfriend at
the time had worked for was was a Trump organization
(27:29):
employee on that construction side, and was very positive about
Trump and had you know, these these these memories and
so forth that I'm that I'm bit and pieces coming
to mind as you're talking about this time that I
relate to because of some of those things regarding my
great aunt Nancy. So I appreciate that call some really
(27:50):
important points. When we talk about relatability, it's not just
showing up at McDonald's and connecting with people and you know,
making the fries and what have you. It is that
this is actually something about Donald Trump that he knows
how to connect.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
With people, which I.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Think is one of the big reasons why you've had
this connection, this sense of camaraderie with Trump since twenty sixteen.
For a lot of constituents that might not vote for
Republicans like him or not. That's a reality and a
truth about Donald Trump and Tom bringing that to light
from Trinidad. By the way, listener text five seven, seven
(28:28):
thirty nine saying the sandwich shop kicked out the customers
and replaced them for Kamala's visit. Yes, great point, remember that,
Yes they literally It wasn't even that they shut it
down beforehand, it was they kicked out the customers.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
You guys gotta go because now we've got this private
Kamala Harris event.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Where were some of those liberal callers earlier on that point?
And how dare Kamala do a staged event kick people out?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Oh my goodness. Jimmy Sangenberger in for Dan Caplis.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
A few minutes left on the other side, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast raving.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I'm wind it down.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Jimmy Sangenberger here with you today in for Dan Caplis.
Thanks for being along for the ride. Some good calls
today as well. I want to give you a little
heads up about my column tomorrow and the Denver Gazette
Denvergazette dot com for.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Once a School tax that Works.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Woodland Park is a small city nestled on Pike's Peaks
north slope, and something fascinating is going on there. Liberals
are pushing to repeal a sales tax supporting Woodland Park schools,
while anti tax conservatives defend it. It's a political landscape
(29:55):
that feels upside down, and it is upside down right
now in Woodland Park. I lay it all out tomorrow
in the Denver Gazette for once a school tax that works.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Let me tell you. I'll just say it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I do believe that a measure called two A in
Woodland Park to repeal a sales tax that voters put
in place for the city to raise revenue to help
support the school district, which now is eleven percent of
the revenue.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You need to vote no on that repeal.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
The reason why this is being tried out there is
to undermine a conservative majority school board that has actually
brought the Woodland Park School District to being number eighteen
in the state now for performance on at the elementary
and middle school level and dramatic result when it comes
(30:56):
to the SAT and psat really teaching voters a very
important fundamental lesson about actually getting.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
A return on their tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
So many counties and school districts like Denver, Jefferson County,
Cherry Creek schools have or will have ballot measures asking
for more money, and they have not demonstrated any reason
for it. In fact, quite the opposite, they have proven
themselves undeserving of a single penny more in taxpayer dollars.
(31:31):
This is a school district of Woodland Park that actually
is an example of success that justifies keeping in place
a unique tax arrangement and one that has added transparency
as well.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So check out the piece tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
The Denver g is at for once a school tax
that works, and also texts that it came in.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Earlier from russ In, Floris and Colorado.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
The problem with many people is that they focus on
the person running and.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Not the policies.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It's the policies that will save or destroy America. That's
a very good and important point. What I would just
say is that that's sort of like, at least to
an extent, saying facts don't care about your feelings, right,
But keep in mind that feelings don't care about your
facts either, and so you have to meld the two
(32:25):
and relate and connect with people. So that they will
be more trusting that you're the person to bring home
the policies that will make their lives better. And that's
why what Trump did, for example, going to McDonald's was sheer,
brilliant and will help advance the ball for him and
(32:46):
give voters a sense that you know what he is like.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
He was as president going to do what he can.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I don't agree with every economic policy, but he'll do
what he can to make life better for the average
American who was struggling to make ends meet, especially amid bidenflation.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Keep that in mind.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I'm Jimmy Sangenburger. Check out my website Jimmy Sangenburger dot com.
Keep in mind there's no AI or you and sang
in Burger. It's all ease all the time. Once you
know that Sangenburger is easy, Ryan, are we ready to
go out with a little never Surrender blues? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (33:26):
Here, absolutely cook it with a little McDonald's French fries.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
If you will.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Oh that sounds delicious.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
God bless America and let's head on out.

Time Now for the second hour, Jimmy Sangenberger filling in
for Dan Kapolis on a beautiful Monday afternoon heading into
the evening. Now, good to be with you as we
are joined now by syndicated columnists and hosts of the
podcast Rubin in the center, Ruben Naverte, and he joins me.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Now, Hello, my friend, good to talk with you.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Good to talk with you. Thank you. And I appreciate
you joining us today. And I wanted to bring you on.
There are a number of.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Directions that we can go with you, but I wanted
to bring you on in particular because you had an epiphany,
an epiphany about both Old Trump and Kamala Harris that
I thought, you know what we should talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
What was that epiphany, Ruben?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
That's been building for a while, Jimmy. You know, the
Trump people have such a low opinion of Kamala Harris.
The Harris people have such a low opinion of Donald Trump.
I think it's interesting, given these competing low opinions, that
these two candidates are tied. They're completely tied. They're in
a deadlock. Neither one of these candidates seems to be
(01:27):
able to dispense with the others as easily as you
would think given the low opinion they have of them.
And so to give me, I give how tied we
are If you look at the polls, all the polls
show a tie within the margin of error. The seven
battleground states are pretty much in a deadlock, a dead heat.
We say that in a story Today's Washington Post. It
doesn't get any closer than this. So I wondered what
(01:50):
that said about. For instance, Harris's support. If she's facing somebody,
she has various advantages on her side. She's raised over
a billion dollars, she starts with a relative blank slate,
She's got youth and energy on her side. She's run
against an older opponent who's been convicted multiple times, divided
the country, and has at least fifteen million people out
(02:10):
there raid to vote against him, and she can't pull
off anything better than a tie. And then on the
other side, You've got Donald Trump, who is likewise running
against somebody who can't communicate effectively, cannot communicate effectively, someone
who is saddled to a Biden administration with many failures
attached to it. He has his strength clearly, one hundred
(02:32):
percent name recognition, he's the foreign president, he's done the
job before, he has people who would walk over hot
poles for him, and still he can't do better than
a tie. So I thought, what does this mean? You
know the fact that neither one of these candidates can
easily dispense with the other, And I concluded obviously that
these are too bad candidates. Anybody who tells themselves anything different,
(02:53):
that's just you know, they're lying to themselves. I speak
to Harris people all the time who say, well, she's
not doing great, our favorite candidate, but you know she's
not as bad as Trump, and vice versa. The Trump
people say, I don't really like the guy on trust
the guy, but Harris is as terrible, so I'm gonna
have to vote for the guy. And ultimately, this is
a conclusion that we are where we are because these
are two miserably underqualified and unqualified candidates. The country isn't
(03:18):
so much voting for either of them as voting against
the other.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So I'm curious for' beenever at a when we look
at Kamala Harris. I don't know people who are very
excited and enthusiastic about Harris, but I have to tell you,
especially having just gone to Donald Trump event a rally
in Aurora, Colorado, just a couple of weeks ago, that
there are Trump supporters who are rapidly pro Trump, devoted
(03:43):
to the guy in so many ways they will do
what they can break their back to support him, to
go out to rallies. I mean, the line, I have
to tell you, the line at this rally was blocks
and blocks and blocks. They had overflow outside. It was
quite extraordinary in that respect. Isn't there at least something
to be said for a candidate who has a strong,
(04:05):
reliable base of support that's passionate, enthusiastic, versus a candidate
who doesn't have that kind of enthusiasm for them and
is more pronounced in terms of, you know, the other guys,
the danger to democracy and needs.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
To be defeated, that negativity.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
There's something to be said for having a strong base
of support. There's also something to be said for money.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Phil Graham, the former former senator from Texas, used to
say that Ready Cash is a politician's best friend. Tamala
Harris raised over a billion dollars. There's no doubt that
Trump supporters would like to be able to say that
they raised a billion dollars, but they haven't. And when
I see, you know, on Facebook and elsewhere, these images,
these videos of Trump of Harris rallies. She filled stadiums,
(04:50):
She fills stadiums full of people. Now, just because in
my circle, I don't know a lot of Harris supporters,
and I think I probably do, and I probably know
a lot of Trump supporters, it makes my head spend.
But there are a lot of Harris supporters out there.
Some of them are drawn to her, some of them
are drawn to the fact that he's not Trump. There's
so much hate Trump. But clearly you don't just fall
out of bed one morning and raise a billion dollars,
(05:13):
And any Republican that says otherwise, it's kidding themselves.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
One of the things that Kamala Harris has is significant
support among a lot of Hollywood types, folks with a
lot of money that they can contribute that certainly is
one thing that helps. But I want to ask you something.
Yesterday this happened something rather unusual for a former president
and want to be president.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
I'm looking for Jeff and I've always wanted to work
at McDonald's.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
I never did.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I'm running against somebody that said she did, but to
be a totally sony show. So let's trump. But that's
a good looking group.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Hello everybody. I'm having a lot of fun here.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
Everybody. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Let's both submit that this was a staged event. It
obviously was going to be, because you know the guy
I has had two attempted assassinations of him. He's running
for president. Secret Service is not going to let random
people pull up to the McDonald's drive through. But what
did you make of that decision by Trump to be
there and work so quote unquote work at McDonald's for
(06:16):
a day. I found it to be something that was
actually really relatable.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Do you agree?
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Before I get to that me because I'm moroven in
the center, Lane pushed back against the idea of celebrities
contributing a lot of money to Pamla Harris. You may
have caught that story about Elon Musk to donating fifty
million dollars one person fifty million dollars in his pack
to former President Trump. Sure, so there's money all over
the place and everybody does it. But to your point
about McDonald's, Yeah, I actually found it relatable, charming, endearing.
(06:48):
I think it was a great move by Trump. It
wasn't that long ago that Democrats would do things like this.
Bill Clinton did a lot of things like this, Yes,
when he ran for president successfully in nineteen eighty two,
to McDonald's and running around and jogging and playing the
saxophone arseni ol hall and just doing everything you could
just sort of say, you know, I'm a regular guy.
This is what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That's to me.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
The Democrats of owl, the Democrats today don't do that.
They're much stiffer, more programmed. They don't like their candidates
to take chances to be normal, relatable people. And so
this was definitely a win for Trump. And it was
a win not just because it came off well, you know,
trumpets to drive through handing thing. Here's your hunt, it's
on Trump. I mean, that's just great, that's just great stuff.
(07:30):
But its also came he came off well because he
cropped I was contrasting in my mind all the missed
opportunities for Harris Yes, and the things that she's passed on.
She's been way too careful. She didn't go to the
Catholic diner or the Al Smith dinner in New York.
Many many mistakes and missed opportunities. So Ruben and the
Center says, good one for Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Ruben Everrette, our guest human is left here on the
Dan Kaplis Show. Jimmy Sangenberger for Dan. Yeah, I think
there's something to be said for doing something that connects
with people and a very visceral personal way, making yourself relatable,
personable and authentically fun. Like he was having a good time,
and that's what people want to see more of somebody
(08:11):
like Trump, where you often have Rubin this vindictiveness that
can show up where he says the nicknames or he
does the tweets and what have you that gets so
many people to recoil at him. But when you see
this kind of thing from a politician, it is like
political gold, and I think we should see a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
More of it.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
One of the things that Trump did and this selection
that cringed me out, and I think it's disqualifying is
when he basically, in a speech that mostly Jewish audience,
said that if I lose this election, I'm gonna blame
the Jews. I mean, look it up right, I heard it,
I heard Michael met that, my friend and others talk
about it. If it didn't set well with a lot
of Jewish conservatives, that's my mind as serious business. That's
a lot more serious than who he had a club
(08:51):
at McDonald's. You know, that was a stunt. I think democrats,
and I think democrats need to have some humility in
this space. They're calling this a stunt. They're saying, well,
it's just a stunt. What did they call it when
Kamala Harris went on a late night talk show and
had a beer? You know, was that not a stunt?
When Hillary Waft and she was running in twenty sixteen,
(09:12):
walked into a bar and Orlds and ordered like a
cron royal. I mean, Democrats do this stuff too. And
this is the part that drives me nuts. Both political
parties have really short memories, Jimmy, really short memories when
it's their cat had to pull the stunt, and all
of a sudden, well, my opponent pulled the stunt, and yeah,
we're going to discount that.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So sure, although I would say in terms of Kamala
Harris with the beer, that did not play off well.
That seemed like it was a fourth moment versus McDonald's.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
But it was a stunt. It was a stunt on
the left. The Democrats are on the ice when they
poo pooed the Trump you know act McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, so let me ask you final question before we
let you go, Rubin never ready, Where do we go
from here? We're just as of tomorrow, two weeks from
election day, early voting already underway in the States. How
do you think this thing plays out over the next
couple of weeks?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I'll say what Mark Helprin and another political analysts have
said that clearly be given what we're looking at here,
we're going to have three weeks from now fifty to
seventy five really angry Americans in either camp. This is
not going to be two sides to come over, shake hands,
say good game, you know, congratulations. Either Democrats or Republicans
(10:22):
are going to feel like this was stolen. And it
goes back to something you said earlier. If you operate
in a circle with very few Republicans and you don't
know a single person who supports Kamala Harris. Or on
the other side, if you're surrounded by blue people who
support Harris and don't know a single person who votes
for Trump, guess what, You're going to be surprised on
election night. You're going to think you were robbed. You
were going to think the single was stolen because nobody
(10:43):
in here circle voted for the other person. But that's
an indictment of the political system or the vote count.
That's an indictment of you. You need to get out
of your shell more often to meet more people.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, you know, I think there are two things in
that regard. One is meeting voters or knowing people who
will vote for Hairs. I know so many people who
will do that. But then it's also who's enthusiastic for
that candidate. And that's something that I think you can
you can sort of notice and weigh a little bit.
That may or may not be an indication of where
(11:12):
things will go, But it also depends on the state
that you're in, and that will be something to watch.
Rubin Neverette syndicated columnist. Check out his podcast and all
the platforms. Ruben in the Center. Always great to talk
with you, my friend. Thanks for taking some time today.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Thank you to me, take care of me.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Thank you once again.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Ruben Neverette, syndicated columnist joining us at Rubin Neverette on Twitter. Well, X,
we've got to go to a break. Ryan's giving me
the signal. I'm Jimmy Sangenberg covering for Dan Kaples.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
And now back to the Dan Kapless Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Oh I was Ruben Neverette was still here, Ruben in
the Center joining us in the last segment. Stuck in
the middle. That's for Darren Shor.
Speaker 10 (11:56):
Jimmy's sure. I'm wondering this guy, you know what's of
critics sides?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I don't know. I really don't know who he'd vote
for between the two.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Maybe libertarian or third party somehow.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Pre do you feel about RFK Junior?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I wonder do you know that I have not really
talked to him about RFK. My guess is he probably
doesn't find him especially impressive, but it would be interesting
to get his thoughts.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
This is the thing I do love about Reuben. He
is in the center.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
He plays to you know, will criticize both sides.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
Who would be his perfect ideal candidate would be my
question for.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Him, A good question.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
Who would he be willing to support and why? What
would that because anybody, you know, there's a lot of swears.
I would say, if Jimy and I were having a
beer right now and he was doing the Blues Show,
you know what I'm talking anybody can let me try
to clean it up, can crap on everything and everyone
around him.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
That's easy.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
When is there a candidate who's good enough that, you
know what, lesser of two evils, even if you're looking
at that way, I'm going to vote for that.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, I think that's a good point, a good question.
It would be an interesting point of discussion with Ruben
never ready again joining us in the last segment. Now
Ralph and Denver is joining us at eighty five five
four h five eighty two fifty five.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Good afternoon, Ralph.
Speaker 11 (13:16):
Hello Jimmy, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Good to help you on what's going on?
Speaker 11 (13:20):
Man, Well, I just want to comment on the McDonald
siasco of the other day. I want to make sure
that your your listeners are getting a straight scoop.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
According to NBC News, the franchise was closed for normal
business hours during the photo op. The customers who went
through the drive through were pre selected by the franchise
and the local Trump campaign team. According to a person
familiar with the events.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Ralph, let me ask you, if you were going to
do something like this and your campaign was one that
had a guy you who survived to assassination attempts, would
you or would you not do exactly what you just
described in order to screen out the people?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Are you missing? I mean to me very answer the question.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
First.
Speaker 11 (14:13):
Well, by some accounts, the photo op was so fake
that the customers never actually ordered any food. They simply received.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Oh come on, Ralph, wait a second. You were missing
the point here.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
The point is not that all the different things were
going exactly as they would if he was working the
day at McDonald's. Although he did, we saw the video.
He did make French fries. He did do a little
bit of that, which is valuable in and of itself.
For yes, guess what the photo op, because Ralph, it
was all about relatability. We were just talking with Ruben
(14:49):
Navaretta about that. How this is an instance where Trump
saw an opportunity to play into the hole mythos of
Kamala Harris having supposedly worked at McDonald's, even oh, there's
no evidence that that's the case, and then he's having
a great time at this franchise location. How do you
not see the point of that beyond the aspects that
(15:11):
you were pointing to to try and nitpick, respectfully, Ralph.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Well, if it was stage, yes, it wasn't a real
The owner of the McDonald's is a supporter against okay,
so and he said it all up, so it was
not real.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okayam me a political event where the candidate does not
have a stage thing like even when Kamala Harris goes
on with Stephen Colbert's Rupin pointed out as well.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And opens up a beer. You don't think that that
was planned ahead and staged.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Although she didn't come across as like she was authentic
in that, I will tell.
Speaker 11 (15:50):
You all right, Ralph, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Jimmy, I do appreciate the call. Thank you very much.
Let's go to Sandy in Pueblo. Good afternoon, Sandy. You're
on with Jimmy and for Dan.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Why there, I was just listening to mister Nat and
Rhett talk about the funding that Kamala Harris was getting
the billions of dollars billionaire, and I wanted to mention
that I was watching Elon Musk the other night in
a conversation with Tucker Carlson, and he shed some light
(16:27):
on that and that there are a couple of billionaires.
I can't think of their names right offhand, but he
named them did, saying that the reason behind their gigantic
donations really is so much in support of her, it's
what will happen to them if Trump wins, because there
(16:51):
are three Epstein's list.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Oh well, I don't know about the Epstein aspect. I
think there are a number of reasons why they would
feel something at could happen to them when Trump is
the president of the United States, that there are a
variety of reasons why it's not in their interest to
have Trump and and I think that actually says a
lot about the value that Trump is bringing in this campaign, right.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Right, I certainly do too.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Transparency, Yeah, well, Sandy, I appreciate the call. That's an
interesting observation from Elon Musk. And I'll also say, in
terms of Elon his pack, that he's got where he
is is put together now seventy five million dollars for
his America pack and he's giving away these million dollar
checks each day to voters, registered voters who sign his petition.
(17:43):
I think that is legal, particularly because because there's a
lot of discussion, all the media is raising questions is
this legal?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Is this not?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
What he is doing is brilliant get out the vote effort.
Let's collect as much information about voters in these pivotal
states as we can through well.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
This whole thing.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh, you can win a million dollars in the sweepstakes
for signing this petition, and then they can go out
there and get them out to vote after that, just
for signing up. I'm Jimmy Sangenberger. Keep it here in
for Dan Caples.
Speaker 9 (18:21):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Now buff Never Never Surrender.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Jimmy Sangenburger back with you in for Dan Caples. Today
we will get back to the phones and the texts.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
We have some texts that I've been meaning to get to.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Keep those texts coming by the way at five seven, seven,
three nine, and the calls coming to at eight five five,
four oh five eighty two fifty five. But first before
we get back to you, guys. I want to welcome
to the program. Natalie Tennant, who is helping to put
(19:00):
it on the Never Surrender Rally, the America First rally
and concert coming up on Saturday, November second, just a
few days before election day.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Natalie, Good, afternoon, Jimmy, how are you?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I am doing great? So wait a second before we
get to the specifics. Why never surrender?
Speaker 8 (19:26):
That comes from our beloved President Donald Trump after his
first arrest in the mugshot, he said, I will never surrender,
and it just it really lit a fire.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
We did a.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Rally the end of December and we were able to
gather about sixteen hundred cars. Sixteen hundred people will say,
so divide that by two, and it just really lit
a fire in me to create a movement, so to speak.
So New Year's Eve was the of Never Surrender, and
we've done amazing things. It's community within community, it's educating people.
(20:06):
It's having those tough conversations politically, because sometimes we just
want to rip each other's heads off, right, So it's
bringing transparency to things and let's look at the situation,
not the people.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
So with that, I love to apply my flags.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
I am very patriotic and I love my country. So
this is kind of like a I mean, I know
we're all fatigued due to you know, campaign fatigue, and
this I want to be a celebration to bring the
people back together. Come join us, Let's have a day
of fun, food, freedom and love of country and obviously
(20:45):
our support for President Trump.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, I mean, I'm reminded, of course, Natalie Tenant of
that now infamous rally in July where Trump was just
narrowly hit in his ear by a bar, surviving that
assassination attempt.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
And what did he do?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
He got back up, he put up his fist and
he said fight, fight, fight, echoing the sentiment of never surrender.
So what's the plan for this rally and what's going
to happen on November two?
Speaker 8 (21:18):
So even even since I was on Ryan earlier today,
we're adding more. I'm trying to make this is eventful
and is fun for everybody, all ages. So we do
have confirmed faith Painter. There's a maze for the kids
and the indoor mains for the kids. There, but a
couple of unique things that I wanted to put together.
(21:40):
We wanted to put together is we're doing a package
for the Young Republicans. I am so proud of them
and I'm I am so excited to see so much
more of these groups building within each county that we
wanted to give them a discount as a thank you.
So we're offering VIP.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Tickets to them at hop Off the VIP pages one
twenty five. What that includes is all day food, open bar,
you get shaded.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
VIP seating, and you get backstage. So with that, we
want to encourage and thank the Young Republicans for all
the work. I mean, they got boots on the ground,
so we're giving them half off of that kind of
a twofer.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Now, is that.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Those nally I just want to jump in? Is that
for those who are members of the Young Republicans organization? Yes, Jimmy, okay, good,
good to clarify. Yeah, keep going with those details real quick.
Just got a minute left. Where is it happening? Where
can folks go to get tickets and so forth?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
We'll have it, just love it, take it. We'll take
us out on the Dan Taplis show.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Take us out.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
We'll do it live, do it live, channeling your inner Bill.
O'Reilly right there? Ryan, I appreciate all right, before we
run to our break, let's squeeze in Tom in Trinidad
at eight five five four oh five eighty two fifty five.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Good afternoon, Tom. What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Hey, Jimmy, Thanks for taking my call. Ryan. You and
I are brothers, h right, a bit older than you,
but I really love your train of thought and appreciate
you all the way. My point here is everybody says
that Trump isn't through power. I had my construction company
(25:54):
in southeastern Pennsylvania. I even knew the people and worked
for were the people that own the Atlantic City Hotel
in Atlantic City, New Jersey that Trump ultimately bought. Trump
has put more jobs out there for carpenters, yes, for welders,
(26:18):
for electricians, for plumbers, for iron workers, for all the
people that work going golf courses. And they say he's
not blue collar. I have watched people build their own homes,
get their own mortgages, and he has helped thousands of
(26:39):
people on the East Coast and many other places to
get the American dream in their pocket. And you never
hear that from anyone. The man is astronomical in building.
And maybe he never drove the nail. But I'll tell
(27:00):
you what great point. People around him drove nails everywhere
on the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
And he interacted with them, related to them very personal way.
And I recall I'm trying to remember some of the specifics,
but my late one of my late great aunts who
passed away nearly twenty years ago. She her boyfriend at
the time had worked for was was a Trump organization
(27:29):
employee on that construction side, and was very positive about
Trump and had you know, these these these memories and
so forth that I'm that I'm bit and pieces coming
to mind as you're talking about this time that I
relate to because of some of those things regarding my
great aunt Nancy. So I appreciate that call some really
(27:50):
important points. When we talk about relatability, it's not just
showing up at McDonald's and connecting with people and you know,
making the fries and what have you. It is that
this is actually something about Donald Trump that he knows
how to connect.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
With people, which I.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Think is one of the big reasons why you've had
this connection, this sense of camaraderie with Trump since twenty sixteen.
For a lot of constituents that might not vote for
Republicans like him or not. That's a reality and a
truth about Donald Trump and Tom bringing that to light
from Trinidad. By the way, listener text five seven, seven
(28:28):
thirty nine saying the sandwich shop kicked out the customers
and replaced them for Kamala's visit. Yes, great point, remember that,
Yes they literally It wasn't even that they shut it
down beforehand, it was they kicked out the customers.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
You guys gotta go because now we've got this private
Kamala Harris event.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Where were some of those liberal callers earlier on that point?
And how dare Kamala do a staged event kick people out?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Oh my goodness. Jimmy Sangenberger in for Dan Caplis.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
A few minutes left on the other side, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast raving.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I'm wind it down.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Jimmy Sangenberger here with you today in for Dan Caplis.
Thanks for being along for the ride. Some good calls
today as well. I want to give you a little
heads up about my column tomorrow and the Denver Gazette
Denvergazette dot com for.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Once a School tax that Works.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Woodland Park is a small city nestled on Pike's Peaks
north slope, and something fascinating is going on there. Liberals
are pushing to repeal a sales tax supporting Woodland Park schools,
while anti tax conservatives defend it. It's a political landscape
(29:55):
that feels upside down, and it is upside down right
now in Woodland Park. I lay it all out tomorrow
in the Denver Gazette for once a school tax that works.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Let me tell you. I'll just say it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I do believe that a measure called two A in
Woodland Park to repeal a sales tax that voters put
in place for the city to raise revenue to help
support the school district, which now is eleven percent of
the revenue.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You need to vote no on that repeal.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
The reason why this is being tried out there is
to undermine a conservative majority school board that has actually
brought the Woodland Park School District to being number eighteen
in the state now for performance on at the elementary
and middle school level and dramatic result when it comes
(30:56):
to the SAT and psat really teaching voters a very
important fundamental lesson about actually getting.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
A return on their tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
So many counties and school districts like Denver, Jefferson County,
Cherry Creek schools have or will have ballot measures asking
for more money, and they have not demonstrated any reason
for it. In fact, quite the opposite, they have proven
themselves undeserving of a single penny more in taxpayer dollars.
(31:31):
This is a school district of Woodland Park that actually
is an example of success that justifies keeping in place
a unique tax arrangement and one that has added transparency
as well.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So check out the piece tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
The Denver g is at for once a school tax
that works, and also texts that it came in.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Earlier from russ In, Floris and Colorado.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
The problem with many people is that they focus on
the person running and.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Not the policies.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It's the policies that will save or destroy America. That's
a very good and important point. What I would just
say is that that's sort of like, at least to
an extent, saying facts don't care about your feelings, right,
But keep in mind that feelings don't care about your
facts either, and so you have to meld the two
(32:25):
and relate and connect with people. So that they will
be more trusting that you're the person to bring home
the policies that will make their lives better. And that's
why what Trump did, for example, going to McDonald's was sheer,
brilliant and will help advance the ball for him and
(32:46):
give voters a sense that you know what he is like.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
He was as president going to do what he can.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I don't agree with every economic policy, but he'll do
what he can to make life better for the average
American who was struggling to make ends meet, especially amid bidenflation.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Keep that in mind.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I'm Jimmy Sangenburger. Check out my website Jimmy Sangenburger dot com.
Keep in mind there's no AI or you and sang
in Burger. It's all ease all the time. Once you
know that Sangenburger is easy, Ryan, are we ready to
go out with a little never Surrender blues? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (33:26):
Here, absolutely cook it with a little McDonald's French fries.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
If you will.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Oh that sounds delicious.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
God bless America and let's head on out.
