Speaker 2 (00:15):
Mister Caplis, no a sta a key, it's six minutes
after I'm John Caldera in for I don't know what
he's doing.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I honestly don't know what he's doing. Would you like
to just sit?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Would you like to know? Do I want to know?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Do you want to know? Yeah? I want to know.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Joe Caplis, son of Dan, is graduating get this from
Harvard Law.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, so what it's goin a bit.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
He's going to miss a day of work for that,
I guess, Saul, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
This is what is wrong with America.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You know, your your kid does one of those little
things where they have a little ceremony when he moves
from the fourth grade to the fifth grade, and you
got to take off work and be productive so you
can go and say, Joe, what a great little job
you did graduating from.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Harvard Law School. We're all's that proud of you. It's
it's my god.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We bubble wrap these kids and we make them feel
so special all the friggin time. Oh yeah, no, wonder no, wonder. Well,
Dan Kaplis is off, you know, being a slave to
his children, how they feel, and are worrying about feelings, feelings,
feelings while I'm doing the heavy lifting form. I'm John Caldera.
(01:36):
By the way, I run Independence Institute. I still do
a little radio. God, I miss radio, so I really
do appreciate Dan letting me sit in for him. As always.
What I love about radio is not necessarily just the interviews.
I love the back and forth. I want people to engage,
to talk, to give me their thoughts, to argue.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
To debate, to agree, to disagree. You can do that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Three h three seven one three eight two five five
seven one three.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Talk all right?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Do you know how much it hurts me? I mean,
just what hurts me to compliment Kyle Clark. But if
you haven't seen it, it's all over social media, you'll
find it someplace. His interview with Victor Marx, and I
know we've been talking about I hope Brownie was talking
about it and Ryan was talking about it. But it
(02:29):
it was a thing of beauty.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Kyle sat back, put out a little bit of meat,
and then patiently waited for Victor Marx to bumble over
himself and show show what he was, which, in my
in my opinion is he reminds me of Dan Mays.
(02:58):
I don't trust the guy. I do not trust the guy.
Now here's the difference. Let me let me just throw
this out between now and the primary, there'll be lots
of discussion on Wait a second, what.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Do you really do for a living?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You know when you did you really kill people? Or
are you just trying to get people to think you
killed people?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
What?
Speaker 6 (03:21):
What?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
What do you mean you save people? Exactly? What does
that mean? I mean? Can we talk to some of
these people?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Can you tell me? Can you tell me about this?
You're you're you're a karate champion. Can we talk about
who that can who can verify these things?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I can't talk about it. It's you for security.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
If that's brilliant, that's just brilliant.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And while we.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Get distracted with that, there's a whole bunch of things
that should be asked of all the candidates, including the
guy who runs around and saves forty thousand women and
children by chopping off the heads of cats or whatever
it is he does.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's policy.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That the job of governor is a policy heavy, management
heavy thing. And we have seen we have seen people
who have grown up in the political system who know
how to run the ship. People I disagree with on
(04:27):
a lot of things, like Dick Lamb and Roy Romer.
People I agree with on a lot of things like
Bill Owens. These guys grew up through.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
The legislative sessions world.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
They were elected officials, they were House reps and senators
and had other positions.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And treasurer, and they knew how to run the ship.
When we had Bill Ritter, a wonderful guy.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Really sweet, sweet, sweet guy, former district attorney, he had
no idea how to run the ship. Because being a
da is one thing. Getting bad guys convicted. It's an
important thing. It's a very important thing. But that whole
different thing then, Oh, I don't know, negotiating the Colorado
(05:20):
River Compact, understanding the School Finance Act inside and out,
the implications of the Taxpayer Bill of Wrights.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I mean, there's just there's stuff here.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And one of the great things about hiding behind how
many bad guys you've killed is you don't have to.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Answer those questions.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And I think it's really why he doesn't show up
at these debates. Now he will be next week on
a Channel nine debate. It'll be interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You sure about that?
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I think he asked him, Oh, come on, man, that's
gonna be a massacre. I was thinking about it, and
my my meagre.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
My original read on this was that Scott Bottoms and
Victor Marx would split the evangelical slash maga crowd, you know,
two battling ministers, and allow barbar Kirkmeyer to win the primary.
That's and that's still my hope. I think Barber is
(06:27):
still going to lose in the general election. I don't
know how any Republican wins in this atmosphere in this state.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
But she won't embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And she will help down ballot candidates and issues.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I was thinking about it, and I love to debate.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I know Colorado policy, I know Colorado law, I know
the ins and outs.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I bid around. Yeah, but you have thirty five years
in this you pick some stuff up and so, and
I also love to debate.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I love it, and I'm i gotta say I'm not
good at shooting hoops. But I'm good at debate, and
I think about it, and the idea of of debating
Barb Kirkmeyer that kind of scares even me. And I
love this stuff because Barb knows her stuff and how
(07:17):
to put this and she's vicious, she's mean, she knows
how to get the job done.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And so I know that everyone is going to be
after him for his story.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But really, I hope, I hope Kyle Clark, Marshall Zellinger
and every other reporter that gets in front of him
asks him policy questions, detailed policy questions. Early on he showed,
he showed support for rent control.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Let me say that again.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
In one of his official postings on his website, there
was a policy that was price controls rent control, because
that's that's what they need. Really really, Now he pretty
quickly turned that, took that down. But that kind of
stuff matters, that kind of stuff matters. Yeah, alright, three
(08:24):
oh three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Right, just text me voote for Barb kirk Meyer.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
She never killed anyone, first of all, Oh god, that's funny. Yeah,
I don't think that's true. I think I think she's
put some people six feet under mind you, when she
(08:56):
did it, they were alive, So she just I love
itunderneath this little picture of her vote for Barba Kirkmeyers.
She never killed anyone. Smart, honest, mostly harmless.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Mostly kind of to your point there, John, in the debating, Yeah, no, no,
I listen, I will put my.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I'll put my of debating Colorado issues. You bring it on.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
But man, I don't want to get in the ring
with Barb on any issue that we disagree on, because
she knows her stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
If you haven't watched the interview with Kyle Clark, let's
play a couple of these a couple of these clips.
I found it interesting that Kyle is love him or
hate him. He is probably the biggest political influencer in Colorado,
and he he requires people to come to him. I mean,
(09:58):
you go to the studio. This time he had to
go down to the training center. I'm not too sure
what the training center was, but the training center. I said, well,
let's do a quick break here and then we come back.
Let's play a couple of those cuts and get into it.
I'm John Kelderrek give me a call. Three h three
seven one three eight two five five Keep it right here.
(10:19):
You're on six thirty K how.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Do you think that you've killed people as an adult?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Does it matter?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Yeah, I'd say so. Why killing somebody is a pretty
weighty thing.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
If someone's trying to kill you, or you're in combat,
it's it's.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Still a weighty thing to take somebody else's life. I mean,
it could be self defense, it could be justified, but
it's still a weighty thing. So I'm just asking you
how many people.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Have you killed? Well? If I did, I wouldn't be
telling a reporter. I'm sitting here my training center. How
about voters? Would you tell voters there's no need? I
don't think that's important. It's actually kind of that's an
odd question to me.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He may or may not be a murderer, not that
voters should care about that. I'm John Caldera and for
in for Dan Kaplis. Do you remember Saturday Night Live
did a parody commercial on Big Brothers, Big Sisters or
whatever it was with Peyton Manning. Oh yeah, and it
was just one of their best Peyton Manning is they're
playing football with the little kids, and you know, all right,
(11:37):
he would go, let's have fun on three. Remember it's
all about team with the usual kind of NFL silliness.
And then you see him heave the balls at the
at the gadget gadget and you just and he turns
into a real, you know, d bag, and it's hysterical.
At one point he looks at all these kids and
he's saying, I'm not saying I've killed a guy. I
haven't not saying I haven't. You know, the implication being, man,
(12:00):
I'm one badass mofo because you know the uh uh yeah,
because maybe I killed a guy. It's it is this
imagery and the ability to say things that if you
don't examine, if you don't examine, you're you're not going
(12:22):
to be able to to.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Ask the questions.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
This this guy is amazing and people are falling for it.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
The MAGA crowd is falling for it. It's it's a
little scary. I tell you.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Well, let's go to the phones. Let's go to Parker.
Talk to Jennifer. Jennifer, welcome, you're with John Caldera.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Oh John, I am so glad you're guest hosting today.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Thank you. I love hearing somebody talking about policy. And
you know, Barb, you know, when you talk about policy,
Barb has a plan for exactly where she's going to
get the money to fix the roads.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
She has a.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Plan for cutting the budget, you know, very specific things.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
It's like a job interview. But I want to ask
you a question.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
With all this attention on Victor Marx, when do we
stop talking about this clown? Because all it's doing is
distracting from the real conversation of how do we fix Colorado?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
When do we start stop talking about him when he
loses the primary I think would be the.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Would be the thing that would be my guess.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I no, I just would like I'd like to be
having better conversations about Colorado than focusing on dead cats.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You know, hey, hey, talking with someone with the privilege, lady,
the privilege of not having your father forced you to
cut a cat in half and put put its carcass
on your head, So you know, you little princesses who
have lived those kind of lives can have those those
those dreams. I guess what's weird is this guy has
(13:54):
raked in a lot of money from around the country
and I I've talked to people who disagree with me
and think that he could be the nominee for the
Republican Party, which part of me thinks, go go for it,
you know, just burn the whole thing down. The faster
it all goes, the better. The idea of a chairman
(14:17):
GOP chairman, Altman Boltman, Joe Oltman and Victor Marx.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You know what a dream team?
Speaker 10 (14:26):
I what I hope the next what I hope the
next step is is for reporters to ask penetrating policy questions.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I think Kyle Kyle did.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
The job all right, he did the job with expertly
and now we all know that this guy is full
of it. Now the next one is know anything? Does
he know anything about Colorado policy? And my guess is
he doesn't.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
The problem is you ask him a question like, Okay, Victor,
what are you going to do to fix the roads?
Speaker 8 (15:06):
I'm going to get a guy.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
No, that's not what I asked you.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Where do you think the money.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Will come from so that we can have the budget
to do something that hasn't been done forever? Well, I
got a guy, you know, the pivot, and there's the.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
Non answering, and he's not.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
He's not a genuine candidate.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
He's not qualified.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
He isn't qualified.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And the fact that both Scott Bottoms and Bob Kirkmeyer
would say I'm not going to vote for this guy,
that that says something that you don't You don't usually
see that. This guy's very guys, this guy's something. All right, Hey,
thank you so much. Thank you, Jennifer three h three
(15:48):
seven one three eight two five five. By the way,
I I contacted Kyle. I wanted to ask him a
couple of questions and I know him pretty well, and
he told me, I mean I think he just listen,
Complimenting Kyle Clark is not something I ever enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
You understand this.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
That being said, what Kyle did is he came in
there with the facts, the figures, the Twitter posts, the
things he said and just put some out bit by
bit at the right spots to let to let Victor
Marx come across as a guy who doesn't want to
(16:27):
answer question because you know, he thinks the truth is
going to embarrass him. You know, did you kill anybody?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Maybe? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I'm not gonna say. It was like, what, why would
why would voters care about that? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (16:44):
How?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
How did you save all these people? Can we talk
to any of these people?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
No, we no, we can't. And so I asked him,
what what did you do? Because he had his stuff?
Kyle collected, get this, over two hundred hours of his podcast,
his speeches, his sermons. Kyle watched, watch the movies he made,
went through the social media posts himself. I mean you
(17:12):
could tell you know, I think what you like about
Kyle Clark. The man did his homework, read the book.
He has a book, A Dangerous Gentleman. It's oh my god,
it's and John Jo He says, the critics haven't listened
(17:32):
to what he's really said. Now, Kyle put in two
hundred hours to listen to it, and I think it showed.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Because he had him dead to rights as one of
the few people that has occupied that share across from
Victor Marx as Kyle has Let's be You Yours Truly,
Candace Owen's Peter Boyles. I thought the job that Kyle
did was surgical, it was exquisite, it was exceptional, and
I like you have a very difficult time handing out
compliments to one comrade Kyle, as I call him affectionately,
(17:59):
of course, But yeah, he came prepared, he came correct,
He had the receipts, He had Victor's own words in
front of him, to the point where at one time
time during this interview, John Victor asked for his own
words to be read back to him because he couldn't
remember the lie that he told.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, by the way, I get that too. I mean,
I write so much and I say so many stupid things.
I can't I can't remember anything I said. Don't worry,
You'll get there. You'll definitely get there, young man. All right, Hey,
Leonard Carroll, hang on, I'll get you right after this.
I really want to ask you about this. What what
(18:38):
does this mean? Will you vote for him? Will he
be the nominee?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
God?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
In a weird, sick way, I kind of hope you
would keep it here. You're on six point thirty k.
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Specific rescue numbers though, when you feel that it suits
your purposes, you wrote in February of this year. Just
last month, our team rescued forty three children from the
grips of evil predators. Where did that rescue forty three
children happen.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
In the US, and that was buy through them with
law enforcement, through with special operations that we do with
protecting children's innocence.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Are you referring to Operation Northern Lights in Florida? Yes, Okay,
So the US Marshals named twenty five partner agencies, including
two rescue ministries, that were involved in that operation. They
said nothing about you and your ministry.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
But you're claiming.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Credit for those forty three rescues. They didn't even mention you.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Yeah, not credit participation in what we do.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
You said, our team rescued forty three children, and the
marshals who ran that operation named twenty five partners and
never said a word about you.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Does that mean we didn't help them?
Speaker 7 (19:49):
No, I'm just curious why you think that is.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
We don't require that we'd be listed or named in
any operations. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
You.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Just because I wasn't mentioned doesn't mean I wasn't there. Yeah,
just just because they named twenty five, I mean, it's
just so embarrassing. You said your operations saved forty kids.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Can we talk to the kids? Can we talk to
the No? That would be bad. For Secure.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
It just I thought Clark did an incredible job with this,
and it just showed Marx to be the fraudster that
I think he is. It doesn't matter. He has no
chance of becoming governor anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
It's this.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
This is not Wyoming. This is not gonna happen here.
Let's go to the phones. Let's go to Pueblo. Talk
to Leonard. Leonard, you're with John Caldero.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
Welcome, Yes, sir, I have a couple of points.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
I talked too rich good UH something experience, and he
said he readitorial from the chieftain, you know, the the
to the uh state public republic. Wouldn't intend, she said,
would voters? I agree, but I think teachers said and said,
(21:20):
I will support whoever. The voterage has left, and I
have not heard anything.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
All.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
I get letters from Victor Victor Marks only, and I've
heard from Cark Kirk Byron Scott. And you know, I'm
still undecided because.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You let me. Yeah, I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I'm assuming you're right leaning and would likely vote in
the Republican primary.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Would I be correct?
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I will?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I will.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So between the three, if the election were held today,
which one would you vote for?
Speaker 9 (21:55):
All right. You know I'm thinking I stopped my head
put a coin. Quite honestly, I don't really.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
You see, you've see no difference between the three.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
I think different to all of them. The point is Bill,
they don't have flaws, uh politician, uh Scott as the
pastor advocate politician and Victory and said, well, I trying
to be a politician.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I would say, well, is is being a politician a
disqualification for being governor?
Speaker 9 (22:31):
But I see quick Meyer and uh Scott bank they
would not support Victor Victor if he was he was denominated,
and he said he wouldn't he wouldn't support them they
were they if they got.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah, And you find that is that a disqualification.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
Not disqualification, But it's uh.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So in the role of governor, in the role of
deciding which bills, a sign, which bills to veto, what
regulations to implement? The thousands, it seems of positions to
be filled. Who do you think would do the best
(23:14):
job to to.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
To help with your vision of what Colorado should be.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm assuming a more affordable, less regulated, less taxed, and
safer place. You see no difference between those three.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
I see the different but.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
They don't say that.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Let me let me put it differently. I put that poorly.
Which one would be most competent? It's not a truck question.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Now on their performance. Kirk Myrus said that you would know, uh, well,
Vitor Marzin no matter what.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
And to me that you're not answering a question that
I asked directly. You already said that. We all know that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
She said she wouldn't vote for Victor Marx. She also
said she wouldn't vote for Scott Bottoms. Scott Bottom said.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
He would vote for her, but not for Victor Marx.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
All right, now we're up to speed. Let's go back
to the question, which of the three do you find
to be most competent in the very odd skill set
to be governor?
Speaker 9 (24:27):
I think I'm sending to Victor Marks apparently on these
details he's went through and what I've heard from him.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So you think Victor Marx is the most competent to
be governor. I'm just looking for yes or no here.
I'm just I'm not I'm not trying to beat you.
I just want to I just want to know, so
you believe Victor Victor would be the most competent person
to be governor. Okay, what makes you think he'd be
(24:57):
the most competent.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Him being governor?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What what experience do you think would help him make
all those appointments and and sign or veto the right
bills and negotiate the right bills.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
I think of hidden as uh a Trump coming in
not being knowing everything that that's and then that he
would he would he looked at the deeper and then
without uh, without without broken with with without without without
(25:33):
uh prejudice.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I think I think what you said, Leonard said it all.
You see him the same way you see Donald Trump.
That's an interesting thing to say, because I think that's
what he's looking for. And and Donald Trump also lied
through his teeth. We knew that coming in. He lied
(25:55):
through his teeth. Victor Marx lies through his teeth. Uh.
Donald Trump made all sorts of crazy claims of what
he's been able to do, and we take that with a.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Grain of salt.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But at least he Donald Trump has worked as a businessman,
has built businesses, has built business buildings. Yes, some of
that he's been He's been looked at for decades. That is,
you know who he was, or have an idea of
who he was.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
One of the.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Frustrations I have with Republicans is they love to believe
what people say. It's the exact same thing I saw
with Dan Mays many years ago, is that they say
the right things, but nobody does their due diligence to
see if they're actually saying the truth. And good God Almighty,
(26:54):
it was up to think of this. Kyle Clark had
to do the due diligence that Republicans shouldn't be doing
on their own nominees.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That's kind of sad.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Well, I guess, I guess I'm back yard.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
I'm a cuttry boy.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That's okay, that's a good thing. Hey, thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I appreciate it. The number here is three oh three
seven one three eight two five five. He reminds me
of Donald Trump. All right, let's just for the sake
of poops and giggles, let's assume he's very much like
Donald Trump. Let's let's assume the man is basically Donald
(27:40):
Trump reincarnated. Do you think Donald Trump could get elected governor?
Is Donald Trump the guy you would bring forward to
represent the Republican Party to become governor?
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Would that help own ballot races? Do you think.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Donald Trump actually has a shot of winning Colorado.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
You think he's won Colorado three times. He's never won
Colorado three or three seven, one, three, eight, two, five,
five seven one three talk in for Dan Kaplis, John
cal Derek keep it here six thirty k how.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
And now back to the Dankapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
You perform exorcisms, commanding demons to come out of people.
Can you explain to me how that works?
Speaker 6 (28:34):
When you say I perform exorcisms.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Yeah, you described yourself as a quote unquote reluctant exorcist, right, Yeah,
describe to me how your exorcisms work when you command
demons out.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Well, that's a joke the way I say that. But
as a follower of Christ and someone who's very familiar
with evil that's been both forced to pall me as
a kid and then seeing the effects of it in
Hema's lives, I believe the word of God that I
(29:06):
can pray for people and see people set free from
whether it's demonic oppression, I never call it possession. I
believe there's levels of demonization where people are suffering because
of people.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
So I get when he says I'm a reluctant exorcist.
I get that that was that could have been humor now,
but what I mean by that is I pray for
people and I help them, you know. But the way
he answered it was kind of kind of odd. Was
that one of Kyle Clark's catch twenty two's, you know that,
(29:46):
the way he takes something and makes it sound a
little different than what it was meant. I mean, there
was so much there, but I'm glad he put out
the exorcist part. Is Colorado ready to elect an evangelical
conservative to be the governor? The answer is obviously not,
(30:10):
unless you live in an alternate reality. Let's go to
the phones. Let's talk to Justin down and Lilton. Justin,
you're with John Caldera.
Speaker 11 (30:17):
Welcome, Hey John, Good to hear you. If Ryan was
the point, you would probably play your old intro song
from your Holiday fifty show. Oh I love that, so,
Victor Marx. I've been driving around then where the spring
of the last month or two, I've probably seen ten
marks signs, not a single Kirk my ear, not a
(30:40):
single bottom sign. So does he have a populace?
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Is he something new and crazy?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Of course I'd be careful about.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
You know, the.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Using yard signs as an indicator if you.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Sing it like on a on a highway means that
the guy who owns a track of land there is.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Uh is willing to do that. And it means that
one campaign.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Has somebody out there working it to get signs up.
That that's good, costs some money. That doesn't mean that
doesn't mean that person's going to win. I don't want
to break anybody's heart here, and you know, I just
want to tell you the truth. None of these Republicans
are going to become governor. I am sorry to tell
(31:27):
you this, but it ain't gonna happen, particularly in this
wild anti Trump year of twenty twenty six. It's not
happening here. I know there's lots of wishful thinking. And
I'm the guy who brings that little bit of reality
in to get people grounded.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
And I'm.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I think we ought to work on that reality.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
Yeah, I have no delusion. Of course, none of the
are going to win, and I never account they were.
I just think that he has something that nobody else has.
Is he worse on policy, yet he has no idea
what he's doing? Is he mostly insane? Yes, I like
what you said before. Kick the table over and throw
a hangarnaid and let's see what he does.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
Right.
Speaker 11 (32:14):
I don't know why. I know the other two are
gonna lose. We might as well get somebody crazy and
see what they do. I feel like that's what.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, I kind of I kind of know what you're saying.
I kind of know what you're saying. And part of
it for me is, you know, I left the Republican
Party a while back. I'm unaffiliated and or should I
say the party left me and it's burned to the ground.
The Republican Party in Colorado has turned into the libertarian
(32:44):
party in that if you've ever been with large l libertarians,
it is more important for them to be right to
win an argument than to win an election. You know,
it is a battle to see who is most pure,
and that's what the colorade A Republican Party has turned into,
this weird, mean purity test, and you know who can
(33:07):
be most Trump Like. And so part of me says,
if you're going to go down, let's go down big.
Let's get Joel Altman to run the party and Victor
Marx to be our standard bearer and watch it all explode.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
I mean, what's wrong with that? So you know, I'm
almost thinking I'm going to Mike Roseni here party of
her person John Libertarians and have a good election. So
I hate to say it, but you know what I think.
You know, we need a calder or a capitalist to run.
There's always been talk about it. You guys know a lot.
(33:41):
What we need is somebody who's been on media, people
in color, to know them and let me color or
two ago whatever was saying like Trump, Trump had like
two or three things going for him, right, No, nationally
kind of reality show, national media, had accomplishments for twenty
or thirty years in his path and had play good temperament.
Speaker 9 (34:03):
Say not, but at.
Speaker 11 (34:04):
Least he knew what he was talking about most times,
and he could reply to question in a way that
people can relate.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I heard somebody say nobody knows with with Trump. As
a friend of mine once said, yeah, he says all
these crazy things, but there's a he lies about all
these things, but there's a truthiness about it. In other words, yeah,
he says it in the most convoluted, stupid way. But
(34:34):
a lot of people in America go, yeah, I know
what he's what he means. Yes, yeah, Trump has that,
and so on.
Speaker 11 (34:43):
My last point is we need I don't know if
you're going within LA. And I think Spencer Pratt has
a better chance of winning than I think market twenty percent.
I think at least fifty fifty. I think the dark
horse is coming out here.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Oh, I think I think he's I think he's going
to make it to the make it to the runoff.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
And but but the difference is.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
LA has you know, has such serious problems.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
We have serious problems. But he's not.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Uh, Spencer is not saying I bring in predators, I
save women and children.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
I might have killed people.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I can do exorcisms, I cut the head off a cat.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Because my dad is crazy. There is none of that.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
He is a he is a frustration out in LA.
He's an answer to the frustration. He's Trump in LA.
Victor Marx is not Trump for Colorado.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Keep it here. You're on six thirty day.
Speaker 1 (35:42):

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Mister Caplis, no a sta a key, it's six minutes
after I'm John Caldera in for I don't know what
he's doing.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I honestly don't know what he's doing. Would you like
to just sit?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Would you like to know? Do I want to know?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Do you want to know? Yeah? I want to know.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Joe Caplis, son of Dan, is graduating get this from
Harvard Law.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, so what it's goin a bit.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
He's going to miss a day of work for that,
I guess, Saul, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
This is what is wrong with America.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You know, your your kid does one of those little
things where they have a little ceremony when he moves
from the fourth grade to the fifth grade, and you
got to take off work and be productive so you
can go and say, Joe, what a great little job
you did graduating from.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Harvard Law School. We're all's that proud of you. It's
it's my god.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We bubble wrap these kids and we make them feel
so special all the friggin time. Oh yeah, no, wonder no, wonder. Well,
Dan Kaplis is off, you know, being a slave to
his children, how they feel, and are worrying about feelings, feelings,
feelings while I'm doing the heavy lifting form. I'm John Caldera.
(01:36):
By the way, I run Independence Institute. I still do
a little radio. God, I miss radio, so I really
do appreciate Dan letting me sit in for him. As always.
What I love about radio is not necessarily just the interviews.
I love the back and forth. I want people to engage,
to talk, to give me their thoughts, to argue.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
To debate, to agree, to disagree. You can do that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Three h three seven one three eight two five five
seven one three.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Talk all right?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Do you know how much it hurts me? I mean,
just what hurts me to compliment Kyle Clark. But if
you haven't seen it, it's all over social media, you'll
find it someplace. His interview with Victor Marx, and I
know we've been talking about I hope Brownie was talking
about it and Ryan was talking about it. But it
(02:29):
it was a thing of beauty.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Kyle sat back, put out a little bit of meat,
and then patiently waited for Victor Marx to bumble over
himself and show show what he was, which, in my
in my opinion is he reminds me of Dan Mays.
(02:58):
I don't trust the guy. I do not trust the guy.
Now here's the difference. Let me let me just throw
this out between now and the primary, there'll be lots
of discussion on Wait a second, what.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Do you really do for a living?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You know when you did you really kill people? Or
are you just trying to get people to think you
killed people?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
What?
Speaker 6 (03:21):
What?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
What do you mean you save people? Exactly? What does
that mean? I mean? Can we talk to some of
these people?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Can you tell me? Can you tell me about this?
You're you're you're a karate champion. Can we talk about
who that can who can verify these things?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I can't talk about it. It's you for security.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
If that's brilliant, that's just brilliant.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And while we.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Get distracted with that, there's a whole bunch of things
that should be asked of all the candidates, including the
guy who runs around and saves forty thousand women and
children by chopping off the heads of cats or whatever
it is he does.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's policy.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That the job of governor is a policy heavy, management
heavy thing. And we have seen we have seen people
who have grown up in the political system who know
how to run the ship. People I disagree with on
(04:27):
a lot of things, like Dick Lamb and Roy Romer.
People I agree with on a lot of things like
Bill Owens. These guys grew up through.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
The legislative sessions world.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
They were elected officials, they were House reps and senators
and had other positions.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And treasurer, and they knew how to run the ship.
When we had Bill Ritter, a wonderful guy.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Really sweet, sweet, sweet guy, former district attorney, he had
no idea how to run the ship. Because being a
da is one thing. Getting bad guys convicted. It's an
important thing. It's a very important thing. But that whole
different thing then, Oh, I don't know, negotiating the Colorado
(05:20):
River Compact, understanding the School Finance Act inside and out,
the implications of the Taxpayer Bill of Wrights.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I mean, there's just there's stuff here.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And one of the great things about hiding behind how
many bad guys you've killed is you don't have to.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Answer those questions.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And I think it's really why he doesn't show up
at these debates. Now he will be next week on
a Channel nine debate. It'll be interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You sure about that?
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I think he asked him, Oh, come on, man, that's
gonna be a massacre. I was thinking about it, and
my my meagre.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
My original read on this was that Scott Bottoms and
Victor Marx would split the evangelical slash maga crowd, you know,
two battling ministers, and allow barbar Kirkmeyer to win the primary.
That's and that's still my hope. I think Barber is
(06:27):
still going to lose in the general election. I don't
know how any Republican wins in this atmosphere in this state.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
But she won't embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And she will help down ballot candidates and issues.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I was thinking about it, and I love to debate.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I know Colorado policy, I know Colorado law, I know
the ins and outs.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I bid around. Yeah, but you have thirty five years
in this you pick some stuff up and so, and
I also love to debate.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I love it, and I'm i gotta say I'm not
good at shooting hoops. But I'm good at debate, and
I think about it, and the idea of of debating
Barb Kirkmeyer that kind of scares even me. And I
love this stuff because Barb knows her stuff and how
(07:17):
to put this and she's vicious, she's mean, she knows
how to get the job done.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And so I know that everyone is going to be
after him for his story.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But really, I hope, I hope Kyle Clark, Marshall Zellinger
and every other reporter that gets in front of him
asks him policy questions, detailed policy questions. Early on he showed,
he showed support for rent control.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Let me say that again.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
In one of his official postings on his website, there
was a policy that was price controls rent control, because
that's that's what they need. Really really, Now he pretty
quickly turned that, took that down. But that kind of
stuff matters, that kind of stuff matters. Yeah, alright, three
(08:24):
oh three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Right, just text me voote for Barb kirk Meyer.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
She never killed anyone, first of all, Oh god, that's funny. Yeah,
I don't think that's true. I think I think she's
put some people six feet under mind you, when she
(08:56):
did it, they were alive, So she just I love
itunderneath this little picture of her vote for Barba Kirkmeyers.
She never killed anyone. Smart, honest, mostly harmless.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Mostly kind of to your point there, John, in the debating, Yeah, no, no,
I listen, I will put my.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I'll put my of debating Colorado issues. You bring it on.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
But man, I don't want to get in the ring
with Barb on any issue that we disagree on, because
she knows her stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
If you haven't watched the interview with Kyle Clark, let's
play a couple of these a couple of these clips.
I found it interesting that Kyle is love him or
hate him. He is probably the biggest political influencer in Colorado,
and he he requires people to come to him. I mean,
(09:58):
you go to the studio. This time he had to
go down to the training center. I'm not too sure
what the training center was, but the training center. I said, well,
let's do a quick break here and then we come back.
Let's play a couple of those cuts and get into it.
I'm John Kelderrek give me a call. Three h three
seven one three eight two five five Keep it right here.
(10:19):
You're on six thirty K how.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Do you think that you've killed people as an adult?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Does it matter?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Yeah, I'd say so. Why killing somebody is a pretty
weighty thing.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
If someone's trying to kill you, or you're in combat,
it's it's.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Still a weighty thing to take somebody else's life. I mean,
it could be self defense, it could be justified, but
it's still a weighty thing. So I'm just asking you
how many people.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Have you killed? Well? If I did, I wouldn't be
telling a reporter. I'm sitting here my training center. How
about voters? Would you tell voters there's no need? I
don't think that's important. It's actually kind of that's an
odd question to me.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He may or may not be a murderer, not that
voters should care about that. I'm John Caldera and for
in for Dan Kaplis. Do you remember Saturday Night Live
did a parody commercial on Big Brothers, Big Sisters or
whatever it was with Peyton Manning. Oh yeah, and it
was just one of their best Peyton Manning is they're
playing football with the little kids, and you know, all right,
(11:37):
he would go, let's have fun on three. Remember it's
all about team with the usual kind of NFL silliness.
And then you see him heave the balls at the
at the gadget gadget and you just and he turns
into a real, you know, d bag, and it's hysterical.
At one point he looks at all these kids and
he's saying, I'm not saying I've killed a guy. I
haven't not saying I haven't. You know, the implication being, man,
(12:00):
I'm one badass mofo because you know the uh uh yeah,
because maybe I killed a guy. It's it is this
imagery and the ability to say things that if you
don't examine, if you don't examine, you're you're not going
(12:22):
to be able to to.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Ask the questions.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
This this guy is amazing and people are falling for it.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
The MAGA crowd is falling for it. It's it's a
little scary. I tell you.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Well, let's go to the phones. Let's go to Parker.
Talk to Jennifer. Jennifer, welcome, you're with John Caldera.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Oh John, I am so glad you're guest hosting today.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Thank you. I love hearing somebody talking about policy. And
you know, Barb, you know, when you talk about policy,
Barb has a plan for exactly where she's going to
get the money to fix the roads.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
She has a.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Plan for cutting the budget, you know, very specific things.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
It's like a job interview. But I want to ask
you a question.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
With all this attention on Victor Marx, when do we
stop talking about this clown? Because all it's doing is
distracting from the real conversation of how do we fix Colorado?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
When do we start stop talking about him when he
loses the primary I think would be the.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Would be the thing that would be my guess.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I no, I just would like I'd like to be
having better conversations about Colorado than focusing on dead cats.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You know, hey, hey, talking with someone with the privilege, lady,
the privilege of not having your father forced you to
cut a cat in half and put put its carcass
on your head, So you know, you little princesses who
have lived those kind of lives can have those those
those dreams. I guess what's weird is this guy has
(13:54):
raked in a lot of money from around the country
and I I've talked to people who disagree with me
and think that he could be the nominee for the
Republican Party, which part of me thinks, go go for it,
you know, just burn the whole thing down. The faster
it all goes, the better. The idea of a chairman
(14:17):
GOP chairman, Altman Boltman, Joe Oltman and Victor Marx.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You know what a dream team?
Speaker 10 (14:26):
I what I hope the next what I hope the
next step is is for reporters to ask penetrating policy questions.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I think Kyle Kyle did.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
The job all right, he did the job with expertly
and now we all know that this guy is full
of it. Now the next one is know anything? Does
he know anything about Colorado policy? And my guess is
he doesn't.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
The problem is you ask him a question like, Okay, Victor,
what are you going to do to fix the roads?
Speaker 8 (15:06):
I'm going to get a guy.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
No, that's not what I asked you.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Where do you think the money.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Will come from so that we can have the budget
to do something that hasn't been done forever? Well, I
got a guy, you know, the pivot, and there's the.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
Non answering, and he's not.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
He's not a genuine candidate.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
He's not qualified.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
He isn't qualified.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And the fact that both Scott Bottoms and Bob Kirkmeyer
would say I'm not going to vote for this guy,
that that says something that you don't You don't usually
see that. This guy's very guys, this guy's something. All right, Hey,
thank you so much. Thank you, Jennifer three h three
(15:48):
seven one three eight two five five. By the way,
I I contacted Kyle. I wanted to ask him a
couple of questions and I know him pretty well, and
he told me, I mean I think he just listen,
Complimenting Kyle Clark is not something I ever enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
You understand this.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
That being said, what Kyle did is he came in
there with the facts, the figures, the Twitter posts, the
things he said and just put some out bit by
bit at the right spots to let to let Victor
Marx come across as a guy who doesn't want to
(16:27):
answer question because you know, he thinks the truth is
going to embarrass him. You know, did you kill anybody?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Maybe? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I'm not gonna say. It was like, what, why would
why would voters care about that? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (16:44):
How?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
How did you save all these people? Can we talk
to any of these people?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
No, we no, we can't. And so I asked him,
what what did you do? Because he had his stuff?
Kyle collected, get this, over two hundred hours of his podcast,
his speeches, his sermons. Kyle watched, watch the movies he made,
went through the social media posts himself. I mean you
(17:12):
could tell you know, I think what you like about
Kyle Clark. The man did his homework, read the book.
He has a book, A Dangerous Gentleman. It's oh my god,
it's and John Jo He says, the critics haven't listened
(17:32):
to what he's really said. Now, Kyle put in two
hundred hours to listen to it, and I think it showed.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Because he had him dead to rights as one of
the few people that has occupied that share across from
Victor Marx as Kyle has Let's be You Yours Truly,
Candace Owen's Peter Boyles. I thought the job that Kyle
did was surgical, it was exquisite, it was exceptional, and
I like you have a very difficult time handing out
compliments to one comrade Kyle, as I call him affectionately,
(17:59):
of course, But yeah, he came prepared, he came correct,
He had the receipts, He had Victor's own words in
front of him, to the point where at one time
time during this interview, John Victor asked for his own
words to be read back to him because he couldn't
remember the lie that he told.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, by the way, I get that too. I mean,
I write so much and I say so many stupid things.
I can't I can't remember anything I said. Don't worry,
You'll get there. You'll definitely get there, young man. All right, Hey,
Leonard Carroll, hang on, I'll get you right after this.
I really want to ask you about this. What what
(18:38):
does this mean? Will you vote for him? Will he
be the nominee?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
God?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
In a weird, sick way, I kind of hope you
would keep it here. You're on six point thirty k.
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Specific rescue numbers though, when you feel that it suits
your purposes, you wrote in February of this year. Just
last month, our team rescued forty three children from the
grips of evil predators. Where did that rescue forty three
children happen.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
In the US, and that was buy through them with
law enforcement, through with special operations that we do with
protecting children's innocence.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Are you referring to Operation Northern Lights in Florida? Yes, Okay,
So the US Marshals named twenty five partner agencies, including
two rescue ministries, that were involved in that operation. They
said nothing about you and your ministry.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
But you're claiming.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Credit for those forty three rescues. They didn't even mention you.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Yeah, not credit participation in what we do.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
You said, our team rescued forty three children, and the
marshals who ran that operation named twenty five partners and
never said a word about you.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Does that mean we didn't help them?
Speaker 7 (19:49):
No, I'm just curious why you think that is.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
We don't require that we'd be listed or named in
any operations. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
You.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Just because I wasn't mentioned doesn't mean I wasn't there. Yeah,
just just because they named twenty five, I mean, it's
just so embarrassing. You said your operations saved forty kids.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Can we talk to the kids? Can we talk to
the No? That would be bad. For Secure.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
It just I thought Clark did an incredible job with this,
and it just showed Marx to be the fraudster that
I think he is. It doesn't matter. He has no
chance of becoming governor anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
It's this.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
This is not Wyoming. This is not gonna happen here.
Let's go to the phones. Let's go to Pueblo. Talk
to Leonard. Leonard, you're with John Caldero.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
Welcome, Yes, sir, I have a couple of points.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
I talked too rich good UH something experience, and he
said he readitorial from the chieftain, you know, the the
to the uh state public republic. Wouldn't intend, she said,
would voters? I agree, but I think teachers said and said,
(21:20):
I will support whoever. The voterage has left, and I
have not heard anything.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
All.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
I get letters from Victor Victor Marks only, and I've
heard from Cark Kirk Byron Scott. And you know, I'm
still undecided because.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You let me. Yeah, I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I'm assuming you're right leaning and would likely vote in
the Republican primary.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Would I be correct?
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I will?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I will.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So between the three, if the election were held today,
which one would you vote for?
Speaker 9 (21:55):
All right. You know I'm thinking I stopped my head
put a coin. Quite honestly, I don't really.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
You see, you've see no difference between the three.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
I think different to all of them. The point is Bill,
they don't have flaws, uh politician, uh Scott as the
pastor advocate politician and Victory and said, well, I trying
to be a politician.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I would say, well, is is being a politician a
disqualification for being governor?
Speaker 9 (22:31):
But I see quick Meyer and uh Scott bank they
would not support Victor Victor if he was he was denominated,
and he said he wouldn't he wouldn't support them they
were they if they got.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah, And you find that is that a disqualification.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
Not disqualification, But it's uh.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So in the role of governor, in the role of
deciding which bills, a sign, which bills to veto, what
regulations to implement? The thousands, it seems of positions to
be filled. Who do you think would do the best
(23:14):
job to to.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
To help with your vision of what Colorado should be.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm assuming a more affordable, less regulated, less taxed, and
safer place. You see no difference between those three.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
I see the different but.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
They don't say that.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Let me let me put it differently. I put that poorly.
Which one would be most competent? It's not a truck question.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Now on their performance. Kirk Myrus said that you would know, uh, well,
Vitor Marzin no matter what.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
And to me that you're not answering a question that
I asked directly. You already said that. We all know that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
She said she wouldn't vote for Victor Marx. She also
said she wouldn't vote for Scott Bottoms. Scott Bottom said.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
He would vote for her, but not for Victor Marx.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
All right, now we're up to speed. Let's go back
to the question, which of the three do you find
to be most competent in the very odd skill set
to be governor?
Speaker 9 (24:27):
I think I'm sending to Victor Marks apparently on these
details he's went through and what I've heard from him.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So you think Victor Marx is the most competent to
be governor. I'm just looking for yes or no here.
I'm just I'm not I'm not trying to beat you.
I just want to I just want to know, so
you believe Victor Victor would be the most competent person
to be governor. Okay, what makes you think he'd be
(24:57):
the most competent.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Him being governor?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What what experience do you think would help him make
all those appointments and and sign or veto the right
bills and negotiate the right bills.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
I think of hidden as uh a Trump coming in
not being knowing everything that that's and then that he
would he would he looked at the deeper and then
without uh, without without broken with with without without without
(25:33):
uh prejudice.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I think I think what you said, Leonard said it all.
You see him the same way you see Donald Trump.
That's an interesting thing to say, because I think that's
what he's looking for. And and Donald Trump also lied
through his teeth. We knew that coming in. He lied
(25:55):
through his teeth. Victor Marx lies through his teeth. Uh.
Donald Trump made all sorts of crazy claims of what
he's been able to do, and we take that with a.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Grain of salt.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But at least he Donald Trump has worked as a businessman,
has built businesses, has built business buildings. Yes, some of
that he's been He's been looked at for decades. That is,
you know who he was, or have an idea of
who he was.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
One of the.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Frustrations I have with Republicans is they love to believe
what people say. It's the exact same thing I saw
with Dan Mays many years ago, is that they say
the right things, but nobody does their due diligence to
see if they're actually saying the truth. And good God Almighty,
(26:54):
it was up to think of this. Kyle Clark had
to do the due diligence that Republicans shouldn't be doing
on their own nominees.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That's kind of sad.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Well, I guess, I guess I'm back yard.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
I'm a cuttry boy.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That's okay, that's a good thing. Hey, thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I appreciate it. The number here is three oh three
seven one three eight two five five. He reminds me
of Donald Trump. All right, let's just for the sake
of poops and giggles, let's assume he's very much like
Donald Trump. Let's let's assume the man is basically Donald
(27:40):
Trump reincarnated. Do you think Donald Trump could get elected governor?
Is Donald Trump the guy you would bring forward to
represent the Republican Party to become governor?
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Would that help own ballot races? Do you think.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Donald Trump actually has a shot of winning Colorado.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
You think he's won Colorado three times. He's never won
Colorado three or three seven, one, three, eight, two, five,
five seven one three talk in for Dan Kaplis, John
cal Derek keep it here six thirty k how.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
And now back to the Dankapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
You perform exorcisms, commanding demons to come out of people.
Can you explain to me how that works?
Speaker 6 (28:34):
When you say I perform exorcisms.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Yeah, you described yourself as a quote unquote reluctant exorcist, right, Yeah,
describe to me how your exorcisms work when you command
demons out.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Well, that's a joke the way I say that. But
as a follower of Christ and someone who's very familiar
with evil that's been both forced to pall me as
a kid and then seeing the effects of it in
Hema's lives, I believe the word of God that I
(29:06):
can pray for people and see people set free from
whether it's demonic oppression, I never call it possession. I
believe there's levels of demonization where people are suffering because
of people.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
So I get when he says I'm a reluctant exorcist.
I get that that was that could have been humor now,
but what I mean by that is I pray for
people and I help them, you know. But the way
he answered it was kind of kind of odd. Was
that one of Kyle Clark's catch twenty two's, you know that,
(29:46):
the way he takes something and makes it sound a
little different than what it was meant. I mean, there
was so much there, but I'm glad he put out
the exorcist part. Is Colorado ready to elect an evangelical
conservative to be the governor? The answer is obviously not,
(30:10):
unless you live in an alternate reality. Let's go to
the phones. Let's talk to Justin down and Lilton. Justin,
you're with John Caldera.
Speaker 11 (30:17):
Welcome, Hey John, Good to hear you. If Ryan was
the point, you would probably play your old intro song
from your Holiday fifty show. Oh I love that, so,
Victor Marx. I've been driving around then where the spring
of the last month or two, I've probably seen ten
marks signs, not a single Kirk my ear, not a
(30:40):
single bottom sign. So does he have a populace?
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Is he something new and crazy?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Of course I'd be careful about.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
You know, the.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Using yard signs as an indicator if you.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Sing it like on a on a highway means that
the guy who owns a track of land there is.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Uh is willing to do that. And it means that
one campaign.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Has somebody out there working it to get signs up.
That that's good, costs some money. That doesn't mean that
doesn't mean that person's going to win. I don't want
to break anybody's heart here, and you know, I just
want to tell you the truth. None of these Republicans
are going to become governor. I am sorry to tell
(31:27):
you this, but it ain't gonna happen, particularly in this
wild anti Trump year of twenty twenty six. It's not
happening here. I know there's lots of wishful thinking. And
I'm the guy who brings that little bit of reality
in to get people grounded.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
And I'm.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I think we ought to work on that reality.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
Yeah, I have no delusion. Of course, none of the
are going to win, and I never account they were.
I just think that he has something that nobody else has.
Is he worse on policy, yet he has no idea
what he's doing? Is he mostly insane? Yes, I like
what you said before. Kick the table over and throw
a hangarnaid and let's see what he does.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
Right.
Speaker 11 (32:14):
I don't know why. I know the other two are
gonna lose. We might as well get somebody crazy and
see what they do. I feel like that's what.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, I kind of I kind of know what you're saying.
I kind of know what you're saying. And part of
it for me is, you know, I left the Republican
Party a while back. I'm unaffiliated and or should I
say the party left me and it's burned to the ground.
The Republican Party in Colorado has turned into the libertarian
(32:44):
party in that if you've ever been with large l libertarians,
it is more important for them to be right to
win an argument than to win an election. You know,
it is a battle to see who is most pure,
and that's what the colorade A Republican Party has turned into,
this weird, mean purity test, and you know who can
(33:07):
be most Trump Like. And so part of me says,
if you're going to go down, let's go down big.
Let's get Joel Altman to run the party and Victor
Marx to be our standard bearer and watch it all explode.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
I mean, what's wrong with that? So you know, I'm
almost thinking I'm going to Mike Roseni here party of
her person John Libertarians and have a good election. So
I hate to say it, but you know what I think.
You know, we need a calder or a capitalist to run.
There's always been talk about it. You guys know a lot.
(33:41):
What we need is somebody who's been on media, people
in color, to know them and let me color or
two ago whatever was saying like Trump, Trump had like
two or three things going for him, right, No, nationally
kind of reality show, national media, had accomplishments for twenty
or thirty years in his path and had play good temperament.
Speaker 9 (34:03):
Say not, but at.
Speaker 11 (34:04):
Least he knew what he was talking about most times,
and he could reply to question in a way that
people can relate.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I heard somebody say nobody knows with with Trump. As
a friend of mine once said, yeah, he says all
these crazy things, but there's a he lies about all
these things, but there's a truthiness about it. In other words, yeah,
he says it in the most convoluted, stupid way. But
(34:34):
a lot of people in America go, yeah, I know
what he's what he means. Yes, yeah, Trump has that,
and so on.
Speaker 11 (34:43):
My last point is we need I don't know if
you're going within LA. And I think Spencer Pratt has
a better chance of winning than I think market twenty percent.
I think at least fifty fifty. I think the dark
horse is coming out here.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Oh, I think I think he's I think he's going
to make it to the make it to the runoff.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
And but but the difference is.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
LA has you know, has such serious problems.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
We have serious problems. But he's not.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Uh, Spencer is not saying I bring in predators, I
save women and children.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
I might have killed people.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I can do exorcisms, I cut the head off a cat.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Because my dad is crazy. There is none of that.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
He is a he is a frustration out in LA.
He's an answer to the frustration. He's Trump in LA.
Victor Marx is not Trump for Colorado.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Keep it here. You're on six thirty day.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
