This episode of the Dan Caplis Show is a must-listen for anyone interested in current events and politics. The conversation starts with a discussion about the recent wildfires in Colorado and the potential impact on the state's health and politics. However, it quickly shifts to a more serious topic: the rise of socialism in the Democratic Party and the implications for the state and the nation.

The speaker delves into the story of Melat Kiros, the new face and voice of the Colorado Democratic Party, who has been making headlines with her comments on Israel. The speaker plays a clip of her interview with PBS, where she apologizes for her previous statements about Israel, and discusses the potential reasons behind her apology. This leads to a broader conversation about the spread of anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party and the implications for Israel and the world.

The episode also touches on other topics, including the recent controversy surrounding the WNBA's stance on trans athletes and the importance of respecting the national anthem. The speaker shares his thoughts on these issues and invites his guest to share their opinions as well.

If you're interested in staying up-to-date on the latest news and current events, tune in to this episode of the Dan Caplis Show to hear the speaker's insightful analysis and discussion on these important topics.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Real free seven.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
One three eight two five five The number text d
A N five seven seven three nine.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
So hope you had a great weekend. I know it's
uh bummer.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Much of Colorado has this smoke from Utah fires. Most
of the smoke is not from our own fires. We're
talking about Utah fires. So at this point it's starting
to clear a little bit in Denver Metro. We're doing
the show today out of Denver the six thirty Kitsch
at w Studios. So hopefully that's gone for now at least.
And hey, just say a prayer right that that we

(00:47):
don't get hit with more big ones in August. I'm
cautiously optimistic. I think you know, the work, the preventative stuff.
We've seen the work from the cruise everything, and there
have been some occasional big rings. Could use three or
four more of.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Those in the next week. Glad you're here.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
D An five seven seven three nine to text, just
a quick overview of what's on the agenda today. If
you want to throw anything else in, please just.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Lay it on me.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
But locally want to talk about because it's so very
important right to the health of the state, but also
the opportunity for the GOP in Colorado to make a comeback,
which would be very.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Healthy for this state.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
You know, malt Kiros is kind of tip of the spear,
and she is the woman who knocked off you know,
like forty term incumbent, you know, Diana to get you know,
to buy what fourteen points to win that seat. But
she is most significantly a socialist, an open socialist, and
so there's been a lot of attention on her. Is

(01:43):
she has become the new face and voice of the
Democratic Party in Colorado. I don't think there's any doubt
about that, and so very very significant. I think when
she made some comments to PBS, I mean, this wasn't
on a barstool. Somewhere after a few she made some
comments to PBS in a formal national interview about Israel

(02:04):
that have caused her to have to apologize because they
were so positive about Israel. I know, it's an upside
down world right, But she's actually out there apologizing because
of positive comments she made about Israel. So I want
to play that sound for you and then get your
take on why do you think she said it to
begin with? And the part of it that was positive

(02:25):
about Israel. She was right to say, it was true
to a point and she needed to say it, But
why do you think she then apologized for saying anything
that could be read as remotely positive about Israel. So yeah,
crazy stuff, but we're going to talk about that. I
think you'll enjoy the sound, especially since we're living through
such a historic moment together, because we haven't seen this

(02:48):
before where the Democratic Party just has this out of
nowhere brand.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
New face and voice.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
We've seen people rise up within the Democratic Party and
then become very prominent and have had some charisma and
had some appeal like you know Gary Hart in his day,
you know Tim Lamb and his prime things like that,
but we've never seen anybody just come out of the
blue and become the voice and face of the party.
So yeah, this will be an interesting, important conversation, and

(03:19):
it ties into does the GOP have a chance this fall,
and if so, in what races? So we'll be doing
all that. I do want to follow up with the
end the Fauci stuff first, because it's so much fun
because what he did was so wrong, and he has
been such a villain in so many ways. It's fun
now just to see some justice done. And I don't
mean justice in the sense of, you know, pummeling him individually, though, Listen,

(03:43):
I'm not gonna lie to you. Do I take some
satisfaction in that, yeah, because he did so much harm,
and he harmed so many kids, and he was so
arrogant and obnoxious. But I think long term, it's just
much more important that the lessons be learned, the deterrent
be set, and all that good stuff. And I'm not
suggesting that's actual happened yet. But the deeper this seeps
into pop culture, the awareness of that Fauci's been busted,

(04:07):
you know, the better for all of us long term.
So we'll have some fun, compelling sound on that, including
and this is what I mean by kind of pop
culture stuff. Last week had Vic Fangio, defensive coordinator of
Philadelphia Eagles, who took the fifth in a press conference
on mocking Fauci. Here is Aaron Rodgers, one of the
great quarterbacks of all time in a national interview today.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Today, because you've been very open about coming back for
this year last rodeo and you talked about your wife saying,
hey have another year. Mike McCarthy being here obviously a
big deal. Can you tell us about the mindset of
coming into your last season, like that's a real thing.
It feels like is everything better? Is everything funner? Is
everything more awesome? Like how do you kind of view
this year verse maybe the years of the best?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm gonna plead the fifth okay, okay, like.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
That absolute coward, Tony, absolute slary.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (05:05):
You got a pardon and you're in front of it
and you pleaded over a hundred times at the White House.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
What are you scared of? Tony?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I thought you were the science? Yeah, yeah, I thought
you I am science And you get up there and
you can't answer a question.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, what do we do? And how much time did
that work spend of that?

Speaker 4 (05:19):
How much time did they spend on my responses every
week on my vaccination status? An Taylor at Travis's wedding?
Did they do even a minute? Did they do even
a minute on Tony Fauci.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I don't think I've heard that. I bet they didn't.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
But on that note, and there was another scandalous off
season too involved in a voter.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
First, I really like Karen Rodgers, but it's great to
just see it out there right broader audience say what
was that all about? And then dialing backhands, So that
can only be good long term. And then do want
to talk about w NBA. I mean, obviously, you know,
we're not a sports show, but sometimes his stuff crosses
over and transcends sports. And when we get into this transcendity,

(06:02):
this true madness of the entire nation is supposed to
take a knee and tell a lie and say that
a boy is really a girl.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I mean, it's just utter madness. And that's no disrespect
or loss of compassion or.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Heart for people who are men and believe they're women,
or people are women and believe they're men. You know,
those are difficult, traumatic cases for those individuals. But the
idea that the rest of us should go along with
the lie is insane. But why has this league, which
has you know, struggled, always struggled to WNBA. Why is

(06:39):
this league now attached itself, you know, to this, and
here's just a preview this WNBA coach in this example,
Stephanie White.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now keep in mind, this is Caitlin.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Clark's coach, right, you're telling me, right, Zach, Caitlin Clark's coach.
And then that Caitlin Clark thing, the abuse of her
is a whole nother story. But the Indiana favorite coach,
Stephanie White, talking about the trans issue in sports.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
What is your stance on man harbor pathletes who test
as biological male participating in women's sports?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
What's your personal stance?

Speaker 6 (07:16):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I don't know that I would
say that I'm educated enough from a scientific standpoint.

Speaker 7 (07:22):
I don't ever believe that exclusion is an answer.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I just don't.

Speaker 8 (07:25):
What is your stance on man harbor pathletes who test
is biological male?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, so she's not educated enough in science that there
aren't two sexes, male and female. But beyond that that
the males have an inherent advantage when it comes to sports.
I mean, it's that level of cowardice that just brings
you back to is there just no self worth, no

(07:52):
sense of dignity. You know that you're willing to stand
up there and lie when you know you're lying. You
know everybody else knows you'r but you're just saying you're
afraid to tell the truth.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
What kind of way to live is that?

Speaker 1 (08:05):
And then this whole business and they're all mouthing this
little talking point.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Exclusion is never the answer.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
So is she saying that she wants men and her
part of the locker room, her shower, that she wants
men in the w NBA. This has really got to
be the test, right, This is really to be kind
of the put up or shut up test?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
W NBA?

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Are you saying that you want biological males in basketball?
Very very hard to imagine that the answer to that
in the end is going to be yes. What I
can't understand, And it's the bigger issue, right, is why
so many otherwise smart people have been willing to just
degrade themselves and demean themselves by parroting this lie and

(08:49):
then demanding the rest of us parrot. And one of
the greatest things about Trump's win in this second goal
round is is that America spoke with a very strong
voice on this. I mean, it was the most money
spent on any campaign ad. That absolutely brilliant. Dad, You know,
he's for you, she's for they in them and because

(09:09):
it is such a farce, I mean, not for the
individuals involved in their individual pain, but but that society
would would have to say, oh no, that's true, and
men can be in girls' locker rooms and men can
play their spot nonsense.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
And America spoke with a loud voice.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
So why do you think that WNBA is still willing
to go down with that ship? Three out three seven,
one three eight two five five, d an five seven,
seven through nine. When we come back, I'm going to
play that Malacca Caros sound again. The new voice and
face of the Democrat Party in Colorado admitted socialist And why.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Did she just have to apologize? You're on the Dan Caplis.

Speaker 9 (09:46):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
It sounds like they're going to require IDs to go
to these free grocery store in New York.

Speaker 8 (10:00):
Now, how are you going to keep people from taking
advantage of that? You know that deal basically, and is
there going to be a limit on the number of
items that someone can take that are discounted at that
level from that essential basket.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
So our RFP makes very clear that this is a
program for New Yorkers to be able to put food
on the table, not a program for people to be
able to make a quick book through reselling. I'm going
to pass it over to our DC had G package that, Jess.

Speaker 10 (10:27):
If you look at our flight for the operator, we
are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers,
whether it be a sort of a library card, askit.
And also we manage who's buying, and that is focused
on everyday New Yorkers, So we are mindful of that,
and so we're going to make sure that we have
all the place, all the things in place to make
sure that that does not happen.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
At least, she said library card. At least she acknowledged
they require an I D. But the reason they won't
just come right out and say it right is no,
it proves.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Their total hypocrites. You have no idea to vote.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
But if you're going to come to our free or
a greatly reduced price grocery store in New York, something
that's never worked anywhere.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
In the world, then you have to have your ID.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Three all three seven one three eight two five five
D an five seven seven three nine. Fortunately, the American
people are very smart and they see these phonies for
who they are. Right, it doesn't mean they can't win
some offices somewhere, because there are plenty of people who
want socialism. They just want to take it from Zach
and give it to themselves. And you know, the mo

(11:28):
lot curiouses of the.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
World have help them do that.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Speaking of which, the new voice and face of the
Colorado Democratic Party actually apologized publicly for these remarks.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
So let's listen to the remarks and.

Speaker 7 (11:41):
To Israel or anywhere in the region. Would it change
your mind or open your perspectives if you did?

Speaker 11 (11:47):
I'm sure it would, right. You know. Part of this
is the work that we've been doing here as well
as having conversations with you know, the Jewish community, specifically
designing this Jewish community to better understand different perspectives, different positions,
different experiences. You know. Again, my values have always been
rooted in protecting dignity and safety for every single person,

(12:09):
especially as it relates to these analienable things about our
religion or ethnicity or culture.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Boy, I'd love to see the evidence of that, right,
I'm aware of a lot of antisemitic stuff, you know,
the stuff that got her fired from her first job.
And all of the stuff that she's been criticized so
roundly for. I'm not aware of the other stuff, but
maybe she's got some proof of that.

Speaker 11 (12:32):
And my greatest concern right now is that the State
of Israel is.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Losing support.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Okay, so she just said her biggest concern is that
the State of Israel is losing support.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
If that is true, if that's truly.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Her biggest concern, I'm very happy to hear that, because
the State of Israel has been tremendous for the free world.
And if she's worried that Israel's pursuing certain policies that
are costing Israel support because she wants to see Israel thrive,
that I'm glad she's jumped on the train because I've

(13:13):
been there a long time.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
But that's what she's apologizing for.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Listen to her public apology as she cites that interview
and in fact attached it to her post. I fumbled
this line, plain and simple, PLA and E and simple.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
But in fairness to her, she may be doing.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
The Trump thing, right, Zach where the President. I remember
being at a little fundraiser for Corey Gardner and Lindsey
Graham was there and he was telling a story about
riding back from the golf course with Trump, and Trump's
tweeting something out and Graham looked at it and said,
mister President, you've got a bunch of misspellings there, And

(13:54):
he says, I know, I do it on purpose. It
gets more attention in any case. So I fumbled this line,
plain and clear. She goes on to right, to be clear,
my foreign policy priority is ending Israel's occupation, apartheid and
genocide in Palestine. I also reject the notion that anti
Zionism is anti Semitism, and it's important that we distinguish

(14:17):
the two in order to combat blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
So she's apologizing.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
For saying that her or big concern is that the
state of Israel, who's losing support. Then what would cause
her to say that? And begin with help me, help
me unpack this, and then she launches into this typical
garbage rant about Israeli genocide in Palestine, which is just
patently false. There have been a lot of innocent people

(14:47):
die in Palestine, and it is a gaza, to be specific,
and it is a tragedy, but that blood is on
the hands of the monsters who invaded is Israel on
October seventh and mass raped women and butchered children and
burned children alive. Every death in Gaza is on their hands,

(15:13):
and for her to try to put it on Israel.
But I'm really intrigued. What do you think caused her
to make that statement that she's now apologizing for three
or three seven, one, three, eight, two, five, five, d
an five seven, seventh through nine. It's the last thing
she should be apologizing for everything else, not for that statement.

(15:33):
Because listen, there are plenty of good friends of Israel
right now and supporters who are worried that Israel is
losing support around the world.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
And they're worried.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Because Israel is such an important beacon of freedom and
is so important to the world and world peace, and
they're worried for the people of Israel, you know, have
been so admirable in so many ways.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, what do you think? Why do you think she
said it?

Speaker 1 (15:59):
And then Theogiz apology we know at this point is
just you know, that's that's her base, right, that's her shtick,
that that's how she got her power.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
And do you think that's what's going on?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Is that Okay, she won this one seat, and as
I said, since the morning after the election, the primary,
you know, she's dislocated both knees at this point, kicking
herself in the rear for not running for Senate because
she would have beat Hickenlooper by ten points. But now
she's stuck in this little congressional seat where she's not

(16:32):
going to have much influence in Congress at all until
they add more socialists, and they've got a handful now.
But the reason she's not is not because of her
socialist ideology, because that's what the modern Democratic Party is.
It's that socialist ideology. That the reason she's not going
to have as much influence as she wants in Washington.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
She will in Colorado she's the voice and face.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
But in DC is she's so open with her toxic
anti semitism that just even for those in DC and
the Democratic Party you agree with her, and there are
unfortunately many, because this is spreading like a cancer through
the Democratic Party, this anti Semitism. She's just too open

(17:15):
with it for them, So it's probably ostracizing her a
bit back with those powers that be in d C.
So my guess is I can never prove it. I
don't have subpoena power here. My guess is somebody told her, Hey,
you got to clean this up. You got to clean
this up. If you want to run for that Senate
seat in two years that Michael Bennett's going to vacate,

(17:36):
or you want to rise into Democrat Party leadership, you
got to hide your anti semitism a little better. That's
what I think she was told, and so that's why
I think she said that.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
In that interview. I hope I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I hope it was sincere and genuine. We listen, we
can all, we can all change, we can all evolve.
Just because she's had these talksic cancer is ignorant, you know,
anti Semitic views, doesn't mean she can't do a.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
One to eighty.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Lots of good people have. I can't tell you the
number of people who have gone from pro abortion to
pro life based on the evidence. I don't know a
single one who's gone from pro life to pro abortion
except to try to win an office in a Democrat district.
But just real people following the truths, Yeah, lots of people.
How many abortion providers have made that switch? Abbie Johnson

(18:26):
who's on the show Off and she ran a flipping
playing paranoid clinic.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
She followed the evidence and made the switch.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
And they are heroes in the movement and beyond because
they were willing to admit they were wrong and they
followed the truth. I'm not doubting for a second that
malach Kiros can make that journey. I just think if
she had made that journey, she wouldn't have then apologized for.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Her progress on the Dan Kapli.

Speaker 9 (18:53):
Show Listening to the Dan Caplis Show podcast to.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Your Stephen A.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Smith apologizing for getting after a number of NBA players
who would not take the jab.

Speaker 12 (19:11):
But there were others who had the coverage to say
the bump that and one of those people at the
forefront was Kyrie Irvin. I bring his name up because
I had my issues with him from a leadership standpoint,

(19:32):
and never as a player, because he's sensational. Towed him
sometimes of leadership, and I didn't look at it as
being courageous. I looked at it as being selfish.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
And I watched Doctor Fauci on Capitol Hill.

Speaker 12 (19:51):
Yesterday and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irvin.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Kyrie Irvin stood out of my mind.

Speaker 12 (20:03):
Because of the heat that he was taking, and our
folks are polling on because that was just the latest
transgression in their eyes, that he was committing and subjecting
the public to. He refused the vaccine. New York City's
mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked

(20:24):
his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates. In
my opinion, particularly hindsight wise, it didn't make him stubborn
or selfish.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
It made him brave.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
I could just see stephen A stand up there. Yeah.
It's about lessons learned, right, And I always respect the
people who admit they were wrong. I can tell you
I really wish that I had not taken the vacs
is Zach.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I don't want to be too personal. Had you wandered
down that road?

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah, okay, yeah, And you know I didn't take.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
It from maybe trying to do the math.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
First year, first thirteen months, and we were open, and
we doubled in size. During COVID we were open. I
flew thirty times, tried a case, we were doing all
sorts of stuff, never got it, and then you know,
finally relented to pure pressure, actually domestic pressure, and got

(21:27):
vaccinated and then had COVID like two weeks later, you know,
but it was it was all obviously most of the
people I should separate this out right loved ones who
were encouraging other loved ones to get vaccinated. That was
all pure and very well intended, you know, political types,
government types, etc.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Most of that was the exact opposite.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Most of that was Democrats trying to get power condition
the American people, you know, to forfeiting their freedoms under
the guise of quote emergency and listen, COVID was an emergency,
I'm not doubting that, but it was not an emergency
that justified stripping people of the rights that way. So
glad to see Stephen A step up three or three

(22:10):
seven one three eight two five five d an five
seven seven three nine if you just joined us. Been
talking about Malat Kiros the new voice and face of
the Democrat Party in Colorado, because it's now clearly you know, socialist,
I mean, I think it has been for a while,
but now openly. And so she made this statement. I
want to play it for you again because I want

(22:31):
to get your take on why you think she's now
apologizing for it. She made this statement that, hey, your
biggest fear right now I'm paraphrasing, is that Israel is
losing support around the world. And I heard that, and
I said, this is tremendous progress. But then she apologized
for it.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
Why and Israel or anywhere in the region. Would it
change your mind or open your perspectives if you did?

Speaker 11 (22:53):
I'm sure it would, right, And you know, part of
this is the work that we've been doing here as
well as in conversations with the Jewish community, specifically designing
is Jewish community to better understand different perspectives, different positions,
different experiences. You know. Again, my values have always been
rooted in protecting dignity and safety for every single person.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
I love to see the evidence for that, by the way,
but maybe.

Speaker 11 (23:18):
We will at some point, especially as it relates to
these analienable things about our religion or ethnicity or culture.
And my greatest concern right now is that the State
of Israel is.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Losing support.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
My greatest concern is that the state of Israel is
losing support. Very very encouraged hear that, because Yeah, as
we talked about, a lot of good people who support
Israel have that concern. They want to see Israel continue
to thrive. It's such an important beacon of freedom in
the world and such an admirable nation, But then she
apologizes for it, says, now, my biggest concern has always

(23:58):
been genocide committed by Israel, and of course those who
say Israel's committed genocide are are liars who have it backwards.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
So yeah, why do you think she said what she did?

Speaker 1 (24:07):
And why do you think the flip three all three
seven one three eight two five five d an five
seven seven three nine. And we will take some text
on that as well. Before I do that, I've got
to get you. Did you hear the zach the national
anthem at the Women's Pro Baseball I was it there
inaugural game Women's Pro Baseball.

Speaker 13 (24:27):
I don't know about an inaugural game, but it's all
new to me. I have not heard of this league before.
That anthem performance was something else, though.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, and we listen. We watch as a family.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
We watch a lot of women's softball, especially when you
know the national championship comes around.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
And things like that.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Got a niece who was a great player at BU
She beat Oklahoma back when Oklahoma I think hadn't been
beaten in how many years? But I've just never seen
a women's baseball game anyway. Here is the national anthem
at the women's pro national baseball game. Oh, don't tell
me this one's gonna missfire. I've been looking forward to

(25:05):
this all day because it's coming under a lot of criticism.
But I want to take those critics on. Yeah, that
one's not firing for us. Do you think the computer
just rejected it, Zach?

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Did the computer say I want it? I have it
on my end? One second? Okay, thank you? Yeah, this
just I.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Think we have to hear for kind of a bigger point,
kind of a bigger point. Can you just fire it
from there, Zach? And if we have to come back to.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
We Oh, can you see why why it was so broad?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Well?

Speaker 6 (25:53):
Why why nast me.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Drive?

Speaker 6 (26:00):
I saw through the pair round see was wors so girl?

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Please stream.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
And the Rockies clear the most thirsty in air game
rules through the night that I land.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Was still the still there fall, say.

Speaker 6 (26:36):
Samengle be wh or the land on the thing and
the hole of the b.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Taking a lot of criticism, but not from me. I
think the critics are wrong here. Listen when it comes
to showing respect for our national anthem, one zero tolerance
for any disrespect for the anthem.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
But there was no.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Disrespect for the anthem, because I think you could hear it,
but you could certainly see it if you've seen the video.
The singer, by the way, Martha Reeves. She was a
Motown star with Martha and the Vendels. She's now eighty five.
But you could tell there's no disrespect. She was giving
it her all. I mean, she was trying to honor

(27:32):
the flag and the song. So I have no problem
at all with the way it turned out, because that's
you know, listen and listen. I'm going to a concert
to see, you know, this great performer, that great performer.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
What I'm looking for.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I don't care if it's church though, don't get me wrong,
hey church, you know, and they're often a lot of
really good singers. When when you get those and then
you get somebody spectacular in church, it moves you.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
You're really impressed.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
But but I'm looking for the heart, and she had
the heart. So I'm just not critical of that. I
don't know about you, Zach, which I can't say there
are two camps. All I've heard is criticism. Are you
now in my camp or the camp of the rest
of the world.

Speaker 9 (28:10):
I think you swayed me like she went for it.

Speaker 13 (28:12):
I think there's always something admirable about putting yourself out
there and going for it. But yeah, I think it
was also a rougher performance. Now I can't sing. I
wouldn't have the guts to put myself out there like that.
You know, we've talked to little Sports today, Kurt Signetti,
the coach of Indiana who just won the national championship.
I saw a quote of his the other day that's
been sticking with me. It was, there's two types of

(28:34):
pain in life, the pain of commitment and the pain
of regret. Which would you rather live.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
With at that amy? And you know, since the kids
were two going to Rockies games with us, I've always
kind of tortured him with this. And we're driving down
the game, I'll tell him when they were little, little
they were really scared of it. I'd say, Hey, daddy's
singing the national anthem at the game tonight, and then
I'd be in the car pull honor Americas and they'd

(29:01):
be absolutely terrified because they had heard me sing.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
But yeah, I'm not expecting that invite.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Hey, when we come back, I want to jump into
text on a wide range of topics here, and why
do you think the new voice and face of the
Democrats in Colorado, the socialist malt Kiros is apologizing for
a positive statement about Israel.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.

Speaker 9 (29:26):
Now back to the Dan Kapler Show podcast.

Speaker 10 (29:30):
They have a good relationship with Japan.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
We're very strong, very very strong financially. They are you know,
they have a weekend again and they wanted a little
bit of help, and we're always there for Japan.

Speaker 12 (29:41):
Japan's been very good to us, with the exception of
course at Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Is there ever going to be a fun of your president?

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Obviously there's nothing funny at all about Pearl Harbor, but
just his his whole delivery, right, his whole delivery. I
think we're going to very much miss him when he's gone.
Three h three seven one three eight two five five
d an five seven seven three nine. Speaking of which,
Iran quick hit here. As you know, there was apparently

(30:12):
going to be a very large scale military action over
the weekend with Israel jointly that the President called off
at the last minute, said that he believes the framework
for a deal is in place, and you know, whether
it's that or pressure from others in the region, whatever,
I will never criticize this president for going every last

(30:36):
mile and beyond trying to avoid war. I think that's
how our president should be. You know, blessed are the peacemakers,
and then sometimes peace has to be made through strength,
and he's proven very very good at that. So the
choice in the end here will will be up to
that evil regime as to whether it's it's going to
end without a very very very large war. But but

(31:00):
I respect President Trump for going as far as he
possibly can to get not just peace right because peace
can be and we've seen it a thousand times before,
not a real piece, not.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
A true piece.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
But the President attempting to get a true piece, a
real piece, you know, without mass bloodshed, and I respect
him for that. I think given the nature of this
evil regime and it's literally suicidal tendencies, part of a
warped perception of a faith that that many in power
have there that I don't think they're going to gi
him a choice. I think in the end they're going

(31:34):
to force the President to go to war. This I
am completely confident, and this president will not leave office
without having dealt decisively with I run unlike every Republican
and Democrat president before him who kicked the can down
the road. He will not leave office without dealing with
that decisively. Three oh three, he's seven one three eight
two five five an five seven seven three nine. I

(31:58):
mean he's proven, he's proven his commitment to this nation
and our security is willing to die for it.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
He knew when he.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Took out that evil General Solomony, it put a target
on his back, maybe his families as well. And then
plus they tried to kill him also. So no, he
will not kick that can down the road. A lot
of texts come in and want to get to him.
On the national anthem stuff, Dan Roseanne Barro was better.
I don't agree. She was mocking the anthem and that
says low as it gets. Where whereas the version we

(32:26):
just played from the women's pro baseball game, you know
they were trying to honor the anthem and the flag.
It just didn't come off in the most appealing way.
And Tom Fitton made a great point about the idea inconsistency.
DEM's DSA gain control with no voter ID and enforced
control by restricting food that from Alexa. Obviously, everybody knows

(32:50):
why the Democrats don't want voter I D right, because
they want a lot of people who they led in
across the border illegally to be able to vote illegally.
I mean, that's just that is part of what the
Democrat Party is depending on.

Speaker 11 (33:03):
Now.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I have not seen evidence that those illegal votes are
being cast in a number that would determine outcomes, but
that doesn't change the intent of the Democrats or the
danger in the future. Dan, why does your hatred of
Democrats for killing unborn babies not extend to Israel for
killing born babies? That may be one of the stupidest
texts that I have ever seen come into this show.

(33:27):
I cannot believe that anybody smart enough to put together
a coherent sentence like that doesn't already know the answer.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
They must.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Or as possible, let me concede this. I have seen
so many otherwise rational, intelligent, good people, good people just
just somehow carve out this dead spot in their brain
when it comes to abortion, where they're willing to convince
themselves of things that obviously aren't true, or they're willing

(33:56):
to just be wilfully ignorant in order to support the
mass killing of children before birth. So maybe that's where
this texture is coming from. Wherefore, whatever reason, maybe it's
political power, maybe it's something traumatic in their own life
that this texture has just shut down that part of

(34:16):
their brain and just won't allow themselves to see the
truth of abortion.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
But two things there.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
One is Israel is acting in self defense and it
is an absolute horror and tragedy. Every innocent life in Gaza,
starting with the babies, starting with the children before birth,
every innocent child in Gaza, starting before birth, every innocent

(34:44):
person in Gaza who has died as a result of
Israel's military action in self defense. That blood is on
the hands of Iran, because we all know Hamasa is
Iran right. That blood is on the hands of Iran.
It's not on the Israelis who were acting in self defense.
And when you actually and we should do a show

(35:06):
on this, sometimes Zach will line up the gas, we'll
post something everything else. When you start getting into the
actual facts and you see that the best estimate ratios
of innocent civilians killed compared to you know, combatants in
that action in Gaza, you'll see it's one of the

(35:28):
most impressive preservation of innocent life ratios that we've seen
in modern military, and we all know that the links
our great military goes to to protect innocent life. So yeah,
that's just one big lie, this genocide thing. But it's
so interesting that the people who slander Israel that way,
they never expressed any concern at all for the women

(35:52):
who were mass raped and tortured, you know, for the
babies who were burned alive, all of the atrocities of
October Heaven. You never hear them voice any kind of
sincere concern for that at all.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Wonder not, wonder why not? I think we know the answer.
