Dan reveres our veterans and honors their service on this Veterans Day - and every day - revistiing archival audio of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt announcing the response of the United States to the attacks on Pearl Harbor by Japan.
By contrast, former First Lady Michelle Obama strikes a sour note with tone-deaf complaints about her lavish life in the White House during her eight years there.

single day on your favorite podcast platform. They never have
so many owes, so much to so few, Winston Churchill, Right,
(00:20):
Veterans Day, Thank you, Thank you, every single veteran out there.
It's you know, words are really hollow in a situation
like this, right for those who've given that last full
measure of devotion their family, the ripple effect over the years,
and everybody else who has served. Obviously, so many wounded,
so many horrifically wounded over the years and decades, and
(00:42):
then those who've served and not been physically or emotionally wounded.
You know, still that major sacrifice, and yeah, doesn't get
appreciated enough, recognized enough, recognized enough in concrete ways.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We all know that.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
But I'm glad there's at least one day. Other groups
get a month, veterans get a day. But I'm glad
there's at least one day when there's some focus on
that three ll three seven one, three eight two five
five texts D A N five seven seven three nine.
We have a couple of great veterans in our law office,
my partner John Kelder and my great colleague Tom Burns,
(01:20):
and so it's, uh, it really is amazing to think
of their sacrifice and everybody else's so thank you again,
and veterans first in line for any call or text.
Just let us know you're a veteran today or any
day really three oh three s one three eight two
five five texts D A N five seven seven three nine.
(01:41):
Somebody who's obviously just grateful every single day. Michelle Obama, I.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Didn't really have that choices firstly, right.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah, every day every time I was up as we
called it, you know, I was up for the public,
and the days were were long, so as you mentioned,
to save time. Yes, you know, I know, having a
glam team, a trifecta, it feels like a luxury, but
it was a time time, this necessity. There's absolutely no
(02:12):
way that I would be able to do my hair
and make up and have clothes ready at that fit,
you know, because where is the woman that can live
off the rack?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yes, I don't know that we can find the words
to adequately thank Michelle Obama for her sacrifice, right, I mean,
like you know, your glam team and your backup glam team,
all of it.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, so you can relate.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
To that completely. And it's not as lamorous as it looks.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's the point that she's trying to make. It's uh.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Okay and absolutely no no benefits in that White House
to offset any kind of inconvenience whatever. And people really
did force her into it, right, and force the Obama's
into that. By the way, shout out to Barack Obama.
Cool thing he did today. Whether or not it was
to try to deflect attention from Michelle Obama's comments, we'll
(03:09):
never know, but one way.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Or the other, very cool thing he did today.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Did you see that store where President Obama he got
on the mic plane arriving in DC full of veterans
there to celebrate Veterans Day and remember their colleagues.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Who had died in battle.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He got on the mic of the plane, welcomed them
all to d C, shook everybody's hand, gave them a
presidential coin. Very cool stuff by Barack Obama there. But
Michelle Obama, she was not done.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
She did.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I mean, we talk about all the contributions President Trump
has made that will go far beyond his presidency, and
Michelle Obama referring to some of hers.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
So I wanted to take advantage of the fact that
as the first Lady, yes you can be smart and
educated and beautiful, sexy and interesting and all those things,
and yes you can be a black woman.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm tell five to eleven black women.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Did you see the shoulder? You miss? That?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's self esteem in tech? Well, I was going to say,
at least she's modest.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Dam Yeah, yeah, self esteem in tech. They're my friend.
So and no other First Lady before her had ever demonstrated.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
That, I guess.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But one big question you might have is why is
Michelle Obama out there right now doing these interviews and
saying those things. I'd love your take on that. And
you know that we do not make it a habit
on this show, never have over the decades to take
gratuitous shots at first ladies or even involved first ladies
in the conversation unless it's to say something good.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That The point of all this, in my mind is
and I.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Told you so because I've been talking for years about
how watch out for Michelle Obama. She is the strongest
candidate the Democrats could have. Now arguably is that still
the case, Yeah, because the rest of the field is
so incredibly weak. But the bigger point is we know
from recent revelations, including books that have come out by
(05:15):
very wired Democrat operatives, that Barack Obama's plan, and presumably
Michelle Obama as well, was that Kamala Harris was not
going to be designated the nominee. There was going to
be kind of an open primary process, and lots of
speculation among those in the know that the intent may
have been to insert Michelle Obama in as the nominee,
(05:36):
and if she had wanted it, she would have had it.
There can be no doubt about that. So the question
is moving forward, does she now want it? And I
think there are a number of reasons to believe she does.
Exhibit A my friend being the fact that President Trump
is term limited right. President Trump cannot run again, So
(05:58):
a major impediment to Michelle Obama because a It's going
to be very hard to beat him, and b she
probably could not stomach even the thought of losing the
President Trump. Now she doesn't have to worry about that,
and she doesn't certainly doesn't have to worry about the
Democrat field. I mean, at this point, really does anybody
on the Democrat side think Gavin Newsom is going to
(06:20):
be elected President of.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
The United States.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So I think there's a lot of panic inside the
Democratic Party about twenty eight and at this point they are,
I think, realizing there's another something coming unless something dramatically
different happens. So Michelle Obama, we may very well have
that candidacy to look forward to, but that could lead
(06:44):
to more controversial issues like this, at least in her mind.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Also, I understood the symbolism of me wearing braids as
the former first Lady.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I wasn't sure.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I don't know if ever stopped talking about that couch
Percy ever wearing braids.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
As the former first Lady. If she hadn't mentioned that,
I never would have known about it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, I'm trying to remember. I thought she always looked good,
no matter what her hair was like. But apparently I
miss something big.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Whether the country was ready for it yet?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
What does she think of us?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Were we ready?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I don't think we were ready. What does she think
of us? Yeah? Not much.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
The Crown Act hadn't been passed yet, there was a
lot that we were trying to do, and just like fashion,
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Want my hair to become a distraction.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Did you know it might have been that first time
in my adult life I've been proud of my country.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Comment might have that.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
But having edited this in a pox upon all of
your houses that I had to go through this for Dan,
but goodness, you're welcome. I miss the fact that she
said the crown and been passed yet yeah, I think
she means from Laura Bush, but we don't wear crowns
in this country. Yet it fits at tracks what she's saying.
She thinks of herself as royalty.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, you know, the.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Really fun part of all this is that she's so
open about what we know about the vast majority of
these these powerful people in the Democratic Party. They really
do look down on us. They really do think they're
superior in every way when it's really like an emperor
has no clothes kind of scenario where it's we who
(08:36):
are superior to them. They just don't get it.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
But I understood the significance of wearing braids to our
portrait unveiling. I wanted to send a message as well
to young women and to all of us as women
that we should be the ones determining what is appropriate
for our hair.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Wow. So it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I mean, it doesn't matter if you're talking about Gavin
Newsom or Jared Polis or Joe Biden or Michelle Obama.
They all think they're superior to us. In reality, it's
the opposite at least if you're measuring the way we
should be measuring.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Right. Yeah, Wow, three.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Out three seven one three eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven thirty nine.
But again, please nobody tell them that widespread broad based
arrogance and elitism, you know, in the Democratic Party helps
us beat them all the time. Lots of places except Colorado.
(09:42):
Speaking of with Jeb Victor Marx will be in the
House tomorrow, candidate for governor in Colorado. Really intriguing story.
Anxious to have that conversation. I think we're going to
have a full hour with him. So make that appointment.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Back in a flash here on the dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
And now back to the Dankaplas Show.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I didn't really have that choices.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Firstly, Yeah, every day, every time I was up, as
we called it, you know, I was up for the
public yes, and the days were long, so as you mentioned,
to save time. Yes, you know, I know, having a
glam team a trifecta, it feels like a luxury, but
it was a time and time this necessity the trifecta.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
What's the trifecta on the glam team? And again, everybody today,
this day's been set aside to thank Michelle Obama for
her sacrifice for this nation. What veteran of the White
House I think is is the way it's referred to.
What's a trifecta in a glam team?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I could not tell you, Dan, that's a great question.
I know what it is because I've got it myself.
Hair makeup and what's the thing.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
No, no, no, no, no, no no, it's the combo body face
and hair wash.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's the trifecta. I've got it at home. I'm sure
I got it in my shower. It's the combo. You
don't have to open one and then the other, you
just put you pour it on your head, You do
the whole, by the whole.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
The trifect that she's talking about, Oh, that's how you
and I would define my guess is hair, makeup, wardrobe?
Speaker 8 (11:17):
I could be wrong.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
If there's ladies in the audience that know better than
I do, and you certainly do. Please correct me if
I'm wrong on that. But my question here, Dan, who
is this for? Who is this message that Michelle's delivering? This,
this belly aching complaining about the good life?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Who is this intenser?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Great question?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And what is the audience for this that she's speaking
to that goes you know what? Yes, this is the
woman that understands me. I relate to her.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
You should have a talk show. That's a great question.
That's why I open the show with that question. Is
why is she out there? Why is she out there? Well,
and I've answered my own question. She wants to be president.
She has wanted to be president. When Biden was deposed,
Obama's did not and it's on the record now it's
confirmed Obama's did not want Kamala designated.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You know, the coup was pulled. The coup was pulled, you.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Know, so somebody else could be put in there, and
a decent chance that somebody else is going to be
Michelle Obama. I don't think she has lost that desire
to be president, and she knows she will be the
Democrat nominee if she wants it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
What I cannot explain is how that pitch is going
to help her. But the fact that she's out there
so much now, yeah, I think she's out there so
much now because she wants to be on the radar.
She wants to be in the public mind. And so
don't be at all surprised if she ends up getting
in at some point.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
To Text or Dan. I would love to know if
Amy or other.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Women who are excited to see Michelle in person and
paid a lot of money still feel the same about
her after her last few poor met interviews that from
Alexa Alexa, I will ask that tonight. My guess is
that those interviews aren't going to matter to the folks,
And there were many, many, many people who filled arenas
(13:01):
at high ticket prices to see and hear Michelle Obama speak,
and so yeah, I don't think I don't think that's
going to make a difference. But I will ask tonight
and report back to you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I can tell you that my wife.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Herself, and anybody like me who enjoyed watching her on TV,
I don't think there's ever been anybody more beautiful on TV.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And she had zero help with that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I mean when she was a news anchor, they didn't
have a hair person, they didn't have a makeup person.
She did all that herself. She got all her own clothes,
and she also did that after we had our two kids,
and so you know, we've got the two young kids
and she's doing all that and she never had any help,
and she never complained once. In fact, all I ever
(13:47):
heard was how grateful she was for the life that
she had.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So, yeah, that's so much. I think it's like ninety
nine point nine percent of all women out there.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
So I'm going to go ahead and do this, and
for the listeners out there who familiar that go back
over the years that remember Amy Sporr on CBS four
and she was a tremendous professional. As you said, Dan
did a great job in that role. I just I
can't imagine Amy saying these things that are so cringey,
like referring to oneself as sexy even if one is.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's off putting the man she is, and she never
would say that. No, right, but again, think about it.
Let me ask you this. Let's say that you were
suddenly put in this bubble, okay, where everybody around you
is a kiss up, and everybody around you is telling you,
you know your armpits don't stink, and it's constant, it's relentless.
(14:42):
You are treated as a deity by the media, You're
treated as a deity by all of these powerful people
in the country. That goes on for eight years. Does
that change you?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I would hope I'd be wise enough and have a
jaundice enough eye to go. Not everything is sunshine of
roses here when it comes to me. And I wouldn't
want people just telling me what I want to hear.
That doesn't that's not constructive, that doesn't help me learn
or grow, And especially in a high profile role like that,
I want people that are going to shoot me straight
and go, dude, don't do this.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
Do this.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
You know this is my honest advice. Like those are
the people I want to surround myself.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well right in all, I'm saying not by way of
excuse at all, because again I would bet ninety nine
point nine percent of the women in this audience have
have made lots and lots of sacrifices in their lives
and focused on what they're grateful for. And that's that's
a fascinating thing to me about people like Michelle Obama's.
(15:39):
There doesn't seem to be any gratitude or focus on
what they're grateful for.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Plus the Michelle Obama story, as I know it, she
should know better, Dan. I believe she came from humble
beginnings in Chicago, much like yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Right like me. She was the wealthiest person in Chicago.
She had great parents.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
She had great parents, okay, and a very stable home
life with great, loving parents, the ultimate definition of wealth.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
But an appreciation for where she was, where she came from,
and where she's made it and celebrate that.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That's fine, But to complain about it. And that's why
I wonder about the Reverend right thing, you know? And
I listen. I don't know her, and all I know
is you know, yeah, how do you get to a
point where you're apparently not grateful?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Listen?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Speaking for myself, and I think it's part of the
human condition. Very very few of us, starting with me,
are as fully grateful as we should be.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I can tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And I was raisisty as a kid, and I bet
you were too. I start every single day and my
mom taught us first thing, when you wake up think
of five things you're grateful for, and there you know,
gratitude is the key to happiness. I think Archbishop Sheep
you had said that in others before him, and it
just it's always striking to me when somebody who has
so much doesn't appear to be grateful and is then
(16:55):
complaining about it now to sacrifice her sacrifice that she's
publicly talking about is a little ironic on a day
like today.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
No matter how long.
Speaker 10 (17:08):
It might take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the
American people in the righteous might will win through the
absolute fricular.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, when you think of how many people actually have
sacrificed everything text her, Dan, I fit off the rack
at goodwill. Dan, please table the Michelle Obama topic for
another day. Today is Veterans Day. I don't think the
texture is seeing the contrasts that we're setting up here, Dan.
I never liked Michelle or Brock. However, when she supposedly
(17:50):
said all this for a damn flag during the ten
year anniversary of nine to eleven, she dropped to intensely
disliked on my list, Dan, not sure why you spend
the time in the Obamas. I would suggest action on
election reform. The reason for the time on the Obamas
is she remains a major force in the Democratic Party
(18:12):
and a real possibility as a presidential candidate for the Democrats.
So at plus that's just very very interesting sound when
we come back Supreme Court keeping the snap benefits on
hold today, very important underlying issue. They're obviously a presidential
power and since the government's about to reopen, that issue
(18:33):
is going to be moved.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We heard talking news about Powerball approaching a billion.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I've got a real interesting number.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
How much do you think in Colorado after taxes if
you took the lump sum you would get from Powerball,
I think it'd be shocked.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
So I wanted to take advantage of the fact that
as the first lady, yes you can be smart, educated
and beautiful and sexy and interesting and all those things,
and yes you can be a black woman, a tall
by eleven black women.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Did you see the shoulder.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I'm just trying to figure out where the chip on
the shoulder came from because you look at you look
at all of the oppression over all of the years
that black people have faced in America going back to
being put in chains as children, and then you look
at the evolution of this country and all of the
(19:39):
people who rose up, you know, all of the people
who were not black, who saw the evil of that
treatment and rose up, and many of you gave their
life to end slavery.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
And then beyond that, you know, all of.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
The people led by people of faith and ledin and
certainly wasn't just Christians, but led by Christians, you know,
to then fight against segregation and fight against this horror,
this evil of racism. And you've seen this constant battle
in America where non whites have risen up to stand
(20:15):
up for blacks who have been subjected to such horrific oppression.
And we've made so much progress. There's still too much
discrimination today and it's never any battle, but we've made
all these light years of progress. So I'm trying to
understand where the chip on her shoulder comes from. Because
she did have the blessing of great parents and a
(20:37):
very stable home and then obviously ends up in the
White House. I'm just trying to understand where that comes from.
It doesn't hurt anybody except her, you know, to come
out and say those sort of things.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But yeah, where does that sort of thing come from?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And the reason it's relevant to the show, And I
appreciate the text you're saying, Hey, why are you talking
about this?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Is because she.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
May end up being president in the United States. If
she wants the Democrat nomination, she's going to get it.
And there's a reason she's out there constantly now, out
there doing all these goofy podcasts in her own goofy
podcasts and.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
All this other stuff. She's out there for a reason.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And unless that reason is to keep her in the
public eye in case she decides she wants the nomination,
what do you think the reason is? Love your thoughts
on the A three O three seven one three eight
two five five the number tex D A N five
seven seven three nine. We do have much more we're
going to talk about. I, of course, had it not
been for the bomb, putch is a very appropriate bump
(21:41):
that Ryan brought us back with.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I was going to play this.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
I believe that I am Tubrick the will of the
Congress and of the people when I assaid that we
will not only defend ourselves to the automost, but we'll
make it very certain that this farm up, preachery, shall
(22:06):
nabor again?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
And dangerous.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That were of course following the attack on Pearl Harbor,
as we remember our veterans on this Veterans Day.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Let me get back to the text. I also want
to play.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I also want to play some of this follow up
sound on the Democrats caving on the shutdown, and I've
got my own theory as to why in part. But
there's this great quote from Dick Durbin from Illinois. Not
not a senator to be admired on a normal day,
but as he defends himself, he was one of the
(22:45):
eight who ended the shutdown. He defends himself by saying, quote,
I could not accept a strategy which wages political battle
at the expense of my neighbor's paycheck or the food
for his children.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Thought that was very well said and courageous.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
To come out and point out that's exactly what the
Democratic Party was doing.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
That's what they were doing.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
They were using they were using that the paychecks of
regular people. They were using the hunger of children in
America as cannon fodder for the war against Trump. And
that gives you just such a direct view. Well you
already know this, but it gives America such a direct
(23:32):
view into the heart of the Democratic Party. Not your
everyday Democrat, but the party itself right now that was
willing to inflict that kind of suffering on real Americans
so they could pursue their own petty political battle with
Donald Trump and try to get stuff through a shutdown
(23:53):
that they could not earn and win through the normal
legislative process. So I thought Dick Durbin nailed it there.
Here's why I think, and I can't prove it, but
here's why I think that the Democrats ended it. And
I'm not saying that there couldn't have been some true
conscience involved there on the part of some of those eight.
But I would bet you anything, don't you think crime
(24:16):
that the Republicans and their big dollar donors had to
be preparing a major TV blitz, a major ad blitz,
you know, where they just make the case because the
case is so easy to make if you can get
it to the American people. But obviously, you know, the
corporate media isn't going to get it to the American
people because it's an extension of the Democratic Party. But
just making the case of wait a second, Republicans have
(24:39):
voted fourteen times to open government. The Democrats have voted
fourteen times to keep government closed. You can make that case,
you can document it. And do you simply do those
spots by taking you know, newspeople off these lefting networks
as they questioned Democrats about, well wait a second, you're
the ones voting to close down government. So those spots
(25:01):
right themselves, and that Trump has no problem raising a
lot of money when he wants to raise it. So
my own personal belief is that Yet, there was probably
a big campaign coming that was going to make this
a whole lot worse for the Democrats, and it is
indefensible what they did, but it did lead to some
really good funny stuff, even from Colbert. This may be
(25:23):
the first time in his life he was ever funny,
but first for everything.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
So yes, yes, the shutdown may have been long and
painful from millions of Americans, but at least it achieved.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Jack squat.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
That is, and we know why Jack is squatting.
Speaker 12 (25:41):
But these Democratic defectors did get one concession. Senate majority
leader John Soon promise them a vote on the ACA
in December, because that's when people get down.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
To serious work. December, you work about six.
Speaker 12 (26:00):
Days and half that is spent doing a mandatory office
door decorating contest. Welcome to accounting or should I say
the Polar Express.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Now you got caught chuck a lot. You know, well,
the first part was funny. Let's go to the phone lines.
Jerry and Elizabeth here on the dan Kaplis Shore, Welcome,
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
I called about fifteen minutes ago. I had just gotten
in the car and I caught the tail end of
a discussion about elitis and how we're superior to them,
and I got a problem with us being superior per se.
They may be wrong, but that doesn't necessarily make a superior.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, Jerry, I disagree for this reason.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Now, if you're talking about inherently superior as humans, know
I'm not saying that. But what I'm saying is that
we're superior in terms of virtue, we're superior in terms
of character, We're superior to them in terms of behavior,
(27:17):
We're superior to them in terms of morality.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Where am I wrong on any of that? Okay?
Speaker 9 (27:26):
Hop by that? Yeah, I just as Christians, I have
a problem with the superiorarity thing, and you know, buying
into a certain superiority then you get that class, which.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
I think you could.
Speaker 9 (27:46):
Accomplish more without the class and name calling and such.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
No, thank you, Jerry.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I sure didn't want anybody to think that I was
saying that we're somehow superior just in our basic humanness.
I thought it was clear what I was saying was, No,
we're just superior in all those other important ways. Appreciate
the call, Jerry, thank you for that. But I do
think it's important to be superior in virtue and character
(28:14):
and morality and behavior. Obviously none of us are perfect,
starting with me, but compared to the elitist on the left,
whether you're talking about Hick and Looper, Bennett, Michelle, Obama
knew so many.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Of them well, and we are.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
I think we're more grounded, Dan, that's just the bottom
line fact of the matter, because they live amongst the
coastal liberal elites.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
You talk about this bubble of self.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Affirming, this inculcation you're the best, No, you're the best,
and then flyover country, of which we are apart. You
don't want to admit that here in Colorado, but other
than the ski resort towns, that's what we are Upper
Midwest for you and I come from same thing. And
there's a reason these areas Dan are slipping away from
the Democrats because they're so out of touch.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, but I don't think we need to sugarcoat it, Ryan,
which you're rarely accused of. But no, when we're talking
about the hicken Loopers and the Bennetts and the Polises
and the Michelle Obama and the Newsoms, we are superior.
I mean, let's say we are superior morally ethically, virtue,
character is start with the core.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Issue of life. The core issue of life.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I mean, you've got all those people I just mentioned
now are avidly, ferociously devoted to the legalized mass killing
of humans up to the moment of birth. That is
that there is a direct parallel there to the difference
between the people who favored legalized slavery and the abolitionist
(29:49):
and the people who opposed it. And I'm sorry, the
people who stand up and fight for those innocent lives
and oppose those political powers I just mentioned, they are
superior morally ethically, in terms of character and virtue. If
you disagree, let me know you know where to find me.
But you got to back it up, back it up,
(30:11):
or pack it up. Three or three seven point three
eight two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, my
fellow Americans. Last night, when I spoke with you about
the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment the
troops of the United States and our allies were crossing
(30:44):
the channel in another and greater operation. It has come
to pass with success thus far, and so in this
poignant hour I yield to join with me in prayer.
(31:04):
Almighty God, our sons, pride of our nation, this day
have set upon the mighty endeavor a struggle to preserve
our public, our religion, and our civilization, and to set
free a suffering humanity. Plead them straight and true, Give
(31:31):
strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in
their faith. They will need Thy blessings. Their role will
be long and hard, for the enemy is strong. He
may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with
(31:54):
rushing speed, but we shall return again and again. And
we know that by Thy grace and by the righteousness
of our cause, our sons will cry them.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Wow, you know, today's Democratic Party, they would have been
to the Supreme Court before he got to the second
paragraph of that speech.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
As as soon as the President of.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
The United States FDR very appropriately began as appeal to God.
It's really interesting the common thread, right, interesting is the
wrong word. It's confirming when you follow that thread all
the way back to the Founders who were up against
even longer odds than the US faced in World War Two,
and they said, Okay, we're doing this, We're going to
(32:44):
fight the breats because we rely.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
On divine providence.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
How he got endowed by the Creator with these inalienable rights,
and yeah, that is what allowed our country to be born.
That's what's allowed our country to stay alive. That's what
it's allowed our country to thrive. And so that's why
this is such a moment of testing because the modern
Democratic Party, with so many good people of faith registered Democrats,
(33:10):
the Modern Democratic Party has been taken over by rabid
anti faith secularists who are trying to separate people from
their Christian faith and most other faiths because they know
if people vote their faith, the left loses, so the
Modern Democratic Party loses. So it's a real moment of
testing three or three seven one, three eight, two five
(33:32):
five text d AN five seven seven thirty nine. So
thanking and celebrating our veterans today lots on the agenda
acopia of topics. We've been contrasting Michelle Obama complaining about
her sacrifice as first Lady on a day when we
honor the real sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Of so many.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
I didn't really have that choices.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Firstly, Yeah, every day, every time I was up, as
we called it, you know, I was up for the public, yes,
and the days were were long, so as you mentioned,
to save time, yes, you know, I know, having a
glam team, a trifecta, it feels like a luxury, but
it was a time and time this necessity.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, what a sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
So I don't think this nation can ever fully repay
her three three seven, three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven through nine. Ryan explain
to us that the trifecta means hair, makeup, and wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Thank you, Ryan. I thought the trifecta meant the.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Trifecta I have, which is body, hair and face wash
all in one bottle.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Isn't it?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Four though? With conditioner for your hair because you've got
great hair. Dan, I got to say thank you for that,
thank you for that. You know how much conditioner I use?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
How much? None?
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Does Amy kind of get jealous of you about that,
because you know women, they have all these different products
of putting in your hair.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
The society is the body washing my hair.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Honestly, I've used conditioner once in five years. Okay, yeah,
and don't miss it. Text, are not happier with me? Dan,
With all due respect, it seems like you have an
obsession with Michelle Obama. Remember many times you stated she
was running in the twenty four election. If the Obamas
wanted to tip and it would have text or please
(35:23):
listen to the reporting we've been doing here many democratic sources. Well,
first of all, obviously Obama was behind the coup of Biden.
He opposed sticking Kama in there. Who do you think
the Obamas wanted to stick in there? No, she's out
in public for a reason. Now there's another election coming
This is Dan Kaplis, and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform. They never have
so many owes, so much to so few, Winston Churchill, Right,
(00:20):
Veterans Day, Thank you, Thank you, every single veteran out there.
It's you know, words are really hollow in a situation
like this, right for those who've given that last full
measure of devotion their family, the ripple effect over the years,
and everybody else who has served. Obviously, so many wounded,
so many horrifically wounded over the years and decades, and
(00:42):
then those who've served and not been physically or emotionally wounded.
You know, still that major sacrifice, and yeah, doesn't get
appreciated enough, recognized enough, recognized enough in concrete ways.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We all know that.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
But I'm glad there's at least one day. Other groups
get a month, veterans get a day. But I'm glad
there's at least one day when there's some focus on
that three ll three seven one, three eight two five
five texts D A N five seven seven three nine.
We have a couple of great veterans in our law office,
my partner John Kelder and my great colleague Tom Burns,
(01:20):
and so it's, uh, it really is amazing to think
of their sacrifice and everybody else's so thank you again,
and veterans first in line for any call or text.
Just let us know you're a veteran today or any
day really three oh three s one three eight two
five five texts D A N five seven seven three nine.
(01:41):
Somebody who's obviously just grateful every single day. Michelle Obama, I.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Didn't really have that choices firstly, right.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah, every day every time I was up as we
called it, you know, I was up for the public,
and the days were were long, so as you mentioned,
to save time. Yes, you know, I know, having a
glam team, a trifecta, it feels like a luxury, but
it was a time time, this necessity. There's absolutely no
(02:12):
way that I would be able to do my hair
and make up and have clothes ready at that fit,
you know, because where is the woman that can live
off the rack?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yes, I don't know that we can find the words
to adequately thank Michelle Obama for her sacrifice, right, I mean,
like you know, your glam team and your backup glam team,
all of it.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, so you can relate.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
To that completely. And it's not as lamorous as it looks.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's the point that she's trying to make. It's uh.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Okay and absolutely no no benefits in that White House
to offset any kind of inconvenience whatever. And people really
did force her into it, right, and force the Obama's
into that. By the way, shout out to Barack Obama.
Cool thing he did today. Whether or not it was
to try to deflect attention from Michelle Obama's comments, we'll
(03:09):
never know, but one way.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Or the other, very cool thing he did today.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Did you see that store where President Obama he got
on the mic plane arriving in DC full of veterans
there to celebrate Veterans Day and remember their colleagues.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Who had died in battle.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He got on the mic of the plane, welcomed them
all to d C, shook everybody's hand, gave them a
presidential coin. Very cool stuff by Barack Obama there. But
Michelle Obama, she was not done.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
She did.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I mean, we talk about all the contributions President Trump
has made that will go far beyond his presidency, and
Michelle Obama referring to some of hers.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
So I wanted to take advantage of the fact that
as the first Lady, yes you can be smart and
educated and beautiful, sexy and interesting and all those things,
and yes you can be a black woman.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm tell five to eleven black women.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Did you see the shoulder? You miss? That?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's self esteem in tech? Well, I was going to say,
at least she's modest.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Dam Yeah, yeah, self esteem in tech. They're my friend.
So and no other First Lady before her had ever demonstrated.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
That, I guess.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But one big question you might have is why is
Michelle Obama out there right now doing these interviews and
saying those things. I'd love your take on that. And
you know that we do not make it a habit
on this show, never have over the decades to take
gratuitous shots at first ladies or even involved first ladies
in the conversation unless it's to say something good.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That The point of all this, in my mind is
and I.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Told you so because I've been talking for years about
how watch out for Michelle Obama. She is the strongest
candidate the Democrats could have. Now arguably is that still
the case, Yeah, because the rest of the field is
so incredibly weak. But the bigger point is we know
from recent revelations, including books that have come out by
(05:15):
very wired Democrat operatives, that Barack Obama's plan, and presumably
Michelle Obama as well, was that Kamala Harris was not
going to be designated the nominee. There was going to
be kind of an open primary process, and lots of
speculation among those in the know that the intent may
have been to insert Michelle Obama in as the nominee,
(05:36):
and if she had wanted it, she would have had it.
There can be no doubt about that. So the question
is moving forward, does she now want it? And I
think there are a number of reasons to believe she does.
Exhibit A my friend being the fact that President Trump
is term limited right. President Trump cannot run again, So
(05:58):
a major impediment to Michelle Obama because a It's going
to be very hard to beat him, and b she
probably could not stomach even the thought of losing the
President Trump. Now she doesn't have to worry about that,
and she doesn't certainly doesn't have to worry about the
Democrat field. I mean, at this point, really does anybody
on the Democrat side think Gavin Newsom is going to
(06:20):
be elected President of.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
The United States.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So I think there's a lot of panic inside the
Democratic Party about twenty eight and at this point they are,
I think, realizing there's another something coming unless something dramatically
different happens. So Michelle Obama, we may very well have
that candidacy to look forward to, but that could lead
(06:44):
to more controversial issues like this, at least in her mind.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Also, I understood the symbolism of me wearing braids as
the former first Lady.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I wasn't sure.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I don't know if ever stopped talking about that couch
Percy ever wearing braids.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
As the former first Lady. If she hadn't mentioned that,
I never would have known about it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, I'm trying to remember. I thought she always looked good,
no matter what her hair was like. But apparently I
miss something big.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Whether the country was ready for it yet?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
What does she think of us?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Were we ready?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I don't think we were ready. What does she think
of us? Yeah? Not much.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
The Crown Act hadn't been passed yet, there was a
lot that we were trying to do, and just like fashion,
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Want my hair to become a distraction.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Did you know it might have been that first time
in my adult life I've been proud of my country.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Comment might have that.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
But having edited this in a pox upon all of
your houses that I had to go through this for Dan,
but goodness, you're welcome. I miss the fact that she
said the crown and been passed yet yeah, I think
she means from Laura Bush, but we don't wear crowns
in this country. Yet it fits at tracks what she's saying.
She thinks of herself as royalty.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, you know, the.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Really fun part of all this is that she's so
open about what we know about the vast majority of
these these powerful people in the Democratic Party. They really
do look down on us. They really do think they're
superior in every way when it's really like an emperor
has no clothes kind of scenario where it's we who
(08:36):
are superior to them. They just don't get it.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
But I understood the significance of wearing braids to our
portrait unveiling. I wanted to send a message as well
to young women and to all of us as women
that we should be the ones determining what is appropriate
for our hair.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Wow. So it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I mean, it doesn't matter if you're talking about Gavin
Newsom or Jared Polis or Joe Biden or Michelle Obama.
They all think they're superior to us. In reality, it's
the opposite at least if you're measuring the way we
should be measuring.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Right. Yeah, Wow, three.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Out three seven one three eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven thirty nine.
But again, please nobody tell them that widespread broad based
arrogance and elitism, you know, in the Democratic Party helps
us beat them all the time. Lots of places except Colorado.
(09:42):
Speaking of with Jeb Victor Marx will be in the
House tomorrow, candidate for governor in Colorado. Really intriguing story.
Anxious to have that conversation. I think we're going to
have a full hour with him. So make that appointment.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Back in a flash here on the dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
And now back to the Dankaplas Show.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I didn't really have that choices.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Firstly, Yeah, every day, every time I was up, as
we called it, you know, I was up for the
public yes, and the days were long, so as you mentioned,
to save time. Yes, you know, I know, having a
glam team a trifecta, it feels like a luxury, but
it was a time and time this necessity the trifecta.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
What's the trifecta on the glam team? And again, everybody today,
this day's been set aside to thank Michelle Obama for
her sacrifice for this nation. What veteran of the White
House I think is is the way it's referred to.
What's a trifecta in a glam team?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I could not tell you, Dan, that's a great question.
I know what it is because I've got it myself.
Hair makeup and what's the thing.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
No, no, no, no, no, no no, it's the combo body face
and hair wash.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's the trifecta. I've got it at home. I'm sure
I got it in my shower. It's the combo. You
don't have to open one and then the other, you
just put you pour it on your head, You do
the whole, by the whole.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
The trifect that she's talking about, Oh, that's how you
and I would define my guess is hair, makeup, wardrobe?
Speaker 8 (11:17):
I could be wrong.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
If there's ladies in the audience that know better than
I do, and you certainly do. Please correct me if
I'm wrong on that. But my question here, Dan, who
is this for? Who is this message that Michelle's delivering? This,
this belly aching complaining about the good life?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Who is this intenser?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Great question?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And what is the audience for this that she's speaking
to that goes you know what? Yes, this is the
woman that understands me. I relate to her.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
You should have a talk show. That's a great question.
That's why I open the show with that question. Is
why is she out there? Why is she out there? Well,
and I've answered my own question. She wants to be president.
She has wanted to be president. When Biden was deposed,
Obama's did not and it's on the record now it's
confirmed Obama's did not want Kamala designated.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You know, the coup was pulled. The coup was pulled, you.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Know, so somebody else could be put in there, and
a decent chance that somebody else is going to be
Michelle Obama. I don't think she has lost that desire
to be president, and she knows she will be the
Democrat nominee if she wants it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
What I cannot explain is how that pitch is going
to help her. But the fact that she's out there
so much now, yeah, I think she's out there so
much now because she wants to be on the radar.
She wants to be in the public mind. And so
don't be at all surprised if she ends up getting
in at some point.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
To Text or Dan. I would love to know if
Amy or other.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Women who are excited to see Michelle in person and
paid a lot of money still feel the same about
her after her last few poor met interviews that from
Alexa Alexa, I will ask that tonight. My guess is
that those interviews aren't going to matter to the folks,
And there were many, many, many people who filled arenas
(13:01):
at high ticket prices to see and hear Michelle Obama speak,
and so yeah, I don't think I don't think that's
going to make a difference. But I will ask tonight
and report back to you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I can tell you that my wife.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Herself, and anybody like me who enjoyed watching her on TV,
I don't think there's ever been anybody more beautiful on TV.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And she had zero help with that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I mean when she was a news anchor, they didn't
have a hair person, they didn't have a makeup person.
She did all that herself. She got all her own clothes,
and she also did that after we had our two kids,
and so you know, we've got the two young kids
and she's doing all that and she never had any help,
and she never complained once. In fact, all I ever
(13:47):
heard was how grateful she was for the life that
she had.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So, yeah, that's so much. I think it's like ninety
nine point nine percent of all women out there.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
So I'm going to go ahead and do this, and
for the listeners out there who familiar that go back
over the years that remember Amy Sporr on CBS four
and she was a tremendous professional. As you said, Dan
did a great job in that role. I just I
can't imagine Amy saying these things that are so cringey,
like referring to oneself as sexy even if one is.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's off putting the man she is, and she never
would say that. No, right, but again, think about it.
Let me ask you this. Let's say that you were
suddenly put in this bubble, okay, where everybody around you
is a kiss up, and everybody around you is telling you,
you know your armpits don't stink, and it's constant, it's relentless.
(14:42):
You are treated as a deity by the media, You're
treated as a deity by all of these powerful people
in the country. That goes on for eight years. Does
that change you?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I would hope I'd be wise enough and have a
jaundice enough eye to go. Not everything is sunshine of
roses here when it comes to me. And I wouldn't
want people just telling me what I want to hear.
That doesn't that's not constructive, that doesn't help me learn
or grow, And especially in a high profile role like that,
I want people that are going to shoot me straight
and go, dude, don't do this.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
Do this.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
You know this is my honest advice. Like those are
the people I want to surround myself.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well right in all, I'm saying not by way of
excuse at all, because again I would bet ninety nine
point nine percent of the women in this audience have
have made lots and lots of sacrifices in their lives
and focused on what they're grateful for. And that's that's
a fascinating thing to me about people like Michelle Obama's.
(15:39):
There doesn't seem to be any gratitude or focus on
what they're grateful for.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Plus the Michelle Obama story, as I know it, she
should know better, Dan. I believe she came from humble
beginnings in Chicago, much like yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Right like me. She was the wealthiest person in Chicago.
She had great parents.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
She had great parents, okay, and a very stable home
life with great, loving parents, the ultimate definition of wealth.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
But an appreciation for where she was, where she came from,
and where she's made it and celebrate that.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That's fine, But to complain about it. And that's why
I wonder about the Reverend right thing, you know? And
I listen. I don't know her, and all I know
is you know, yeah, how do you get to a
point where you're apparently not grateful?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Listen?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Speaking for myself, and I think it's part of the
human condition. Very very few of us, starting with me,
are as fully grateful as we should be.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I can tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And I was raisisty as a kid, and I bet
you were too. I start every single day and my
mom taught us first thing, when you wake up think
of five things you're grateful for, and there you know,
gratitude is the key to happiness. I think Archbishop Sheep
you had said that in others before him, and it
just it's always striking to me when somebody who has
so much doesn't appear to be grateful and is then
(16:55):
complaining about it now to sacrifice her sacrifice that she's
publicly talking about is a little ironic on a day
like today.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
No matter how long.
Speaker 10 (17:08):
It might take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the
American people in the righteous might will win through the
absolute fricular.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, when you think of how many people actually have
sacrificed everything text her, Dan, I fit off the rack
at goodwill. Dan, please table the Michelle Obama topic for
another day. Today is Veterans Day. I don't think the
texture is seeing the contrasts that we're setting up here, Dan.
I never liked Michelle or Brock. However, when she supposedly
(17:50):
said all this for a damn flag during the ten
year anniversary of nine to eleven, she dropped to intensely
disliked on my list, Dan, not sure why you spend
the time in the Obamas. I would suggest action on
election reform. The reason for the time on the Obamas
is she remains a major force in the Democratic Party
(18:12):
and a real possibility as a presidential candidate for the Democrats.
So at plus that's just very very interesting sound when
we come back Supreme Court keeping the snap benefits on
hold today, very important underlying issue. They're obviously a presidential
power and since the government's about to reopen, that issue
(18:33):
is going to be moved.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We heard talking news about Powerball approaching a billion.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I've got a real interesting number.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
How much do you think in Colorado after taxes if
you took the lump sum you would get from Powerball,
I think it'd be shocked.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
So I wanted to take advantage of the fact that
as the first lady, yes you can be smart, educated
and beautiful and sexy and interesting and all those things,
and yes you can be a black woman, a tall
by eleven black women.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Did you see the shoulder.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I'm just trying to figure out where the chip on
the shoulder came from because you look at you look
at all of the oppression over all of the years
that black people have faced in America going back to
being put in chains as children, and then you look
at the evolution of this country and all of the
(19:39):
people who rose up, you know, all of the people
who were not black, who saw the evil of that
treatment and rose up, and many of you gave their
life to end slavery.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
And then beyond that, you know, all of.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
The people led by people of faith and ledin and
certainly wasn't just Christians, but led by Christians, you know,
to then fight against segregation and fight against this horror,
this evil of racism. And you've seen this constant battle
in America where non whites have risen up to stand
(20:15):
up for blacks who have been subjected to such horrific oppression.
And we've made so much progress. There's still too much
discrimination today and it's never any battle, but we've made
all these light years of progress. So I'm trying to
understand where the chip on her shoulder comes from. Because
she did have the blessing of great parents and a
(20:37):
very stable home and then obviously ends up in the
White House. I'm just trying to understand where that comes from.
It doesn't hurt anybody except her, you know, to come
out and say those sort of things.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But yeah, where does that sort of thing come from?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And the reason it's relevant to the show, And I
appreciate the text you're saying, Hey, why are you talking
about this?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Is because she.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
May end up being president in the United States. If
she wants the Democrat nomination, she's going to get it.
And there's a reason she's out there constantly now, out
there doing all these goofy podcasts in her own goofy
podcasts and.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
All this other stuff. She's out there for a reason.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And unless that reason is to keep her in the
public eye in case she decides she wants the nomination,
what do you think the reason is? Love your thoughts
on the A three O three seven one three eight
two five five the number tex D A N five
seven seven three nine. We do have much more we're
going to talk about. I, of course, had it not
been for the bomb, putch is a very appropriate bump
(21:41):
that Ryan brought us back with.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I was going to play this.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
I believe that I am Tubrick the will of the
Congress and of the people when I assaid that we
will not only defend ourselves to the automost, but we'll
make it very certain that this farm up, preachery, shall
(22:06):
nabor again?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
And dangerous.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That were of course following the attack on Pearl Harbor,
as we remember our veterans on this Veterans Day.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Let me get back to the text. I also want
to play.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I also want to play some of this follow up
sound on the Democrats caving on the shutdown, and I've
got my own theory as to why in part. But
there's this great quote from Dick Durbin from Illinois. Not
not a senator to be admired on a normal day,
but as he defends himself, he was one of the
(22:45):
eight who ended the shutdown. He defends himself by saying, quote,
I could not accept a strategy which wages political battle
at the expense of my neighbor's paycheck or the food
for his children.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Thought that was very well said and courageous.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
To come out and point out that's exactly what the
Democratic Party was doing.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
That's what they were doing.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
They were using they were using that the paychecks of
regular people. They were using the hunger of children in
America as cannon fodder for the war against Trump. And
that gives you just such a direct view. Well you
already know this, but it gives America such a direct
(23:32):
view into the heart of the Democratic Party. Not your
everyday Democrat, but the party itself right now that was
willing to inflict that kind of suffering on real Americans
so they could pursue their own petty political battle with
Donald Trump and try to get stuff through a shutdown
(23:53):
that they could not earn and win through the normal
legislative process. So I thought Dick Durbin nailed it there.
Here's why I think, and I can't prove it, but
here's why I think that the Democrats ended it. And
I'm not saying that there couldn't have been some true
conscience involved there on the part of some of those eight.
But I would bet you anything, don't you think crime
(24:16):
that the Republicans and their big dollar donors had to
be preparing a major TV blitz, a major ad blitz,
you know, where they just make the case because the
case is so easy to make if you can get
it to the American people. But obviously, you know, the
corporate media isn't going to get it to the American
people because it's an extension of the Democratic Party. But
just making the case of wait a second, Republicans have
(24:39):
voted fourteen times to open government. The Democrats have voted
fourteen times to keep government closed. You can make that case,
you can document it. And do you simply do those
spots by taking you know, newspeople off these lefting networks
as they questioned Democrats about, well wait a second, you're
the ones voting to close down government. So those spots
(25:01):
right themselves, and that Trump has no problem raising a
lot of money when he wants to raise it. So
my own personal belief is that Yet, there was probably
a big campaign coming that was going to make this
a whole lot worse for the Democrats, and it is
indefensible what they did, but it did lead to some
really good funny stuff, even from Colbert. This may be
(25:23):
the first time in his life he was ever funny,
but first for everything.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
So yes, yes, the shutdown may have been long and
painful from millions of Americans, but at least it achieved.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Jack squat.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
That is, and we know why Jack is squatting.
Speaker 12 (25:41):
But these Democratic defectors did get one concession. Senate majority
leader John Soon promise them a vote on the ACA
in December, because that's when people get down.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
To serious work. December, you work about six.
Speaker 12 (26:00):
Days and half that is spent doing a mandatory office
door decorating contest. Welcome to accounting or should I say
the Polar Express.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Now you got caught chuck a lot. You know, well,
the first part was funny. Let's go to the phone lines.
Jerry and Elizabeth here on the dan Kaplis Shore, Welcome,
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
I called about fifteen minutes ago. I had just gotten
in the car and I caught the tail end of
a discussion about elitis and how we're superior to them,
and I got a problem with us being superior per se.
They may be wrong, but that doesn't necessarily make a superior.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, Jerry, I disagree for this reason.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Now, if you're talking about inherently superior as humans, know
I'm not saying that. But what I'm saying is that
we're superior in terms of virtue, we're superior in terms
of character, We're superior to them in terms of behavior,
(27:17):
We're superior to them in terms of morality.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Where am I wrong on any of that? Okay?
Speaker 9 (27:26):
Hop by that? Yeah, I just as Christians, I have
a problem with the superiorarity thing, and you know, buying
into a certain superiority then you get that class, which.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
I think you could.
Speaker 9 (27:46):
Accomplish more without the class and name calling and such.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
No, thank you, Jerry.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I sure didn't want anybody to think that I was
saying that we're somehow superior just in our basic humanness.
I thought it was clear what I was saying was, No,
we're just superior in all those other important ways. Appreciate
the call, Jerry, thank you for that. But I do
think it's important to be superior in virtue and character
(28:14):
and morality and behavior. Obviously none of us are perfect,
starting with me, but compared to the elitist on the left,
whether you're talking about Hick and Looper, Bennett, Michelle, Obama
knew so many.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Of them well, and we are.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
I think we're more grounded, Dan, that's just the bottom
line fact of the matter, because they live amongst the
coastal liberal elites.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
You talk about this bubble of self.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Affirming, this inculcation you're the best, No, you're the best,
and then flyover country, of which we are apart. You
don't want to admit that here in Colorado, but other
than the ski resort towns, that's what we are Upper
Midwest for you and I come from same thing. And
there's a reason these areas Dan are slipping away from
the Democrats because they're so out of touch.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, but I don't think we need to sugarcoat it, Ryan,
which you're rarely accused of. But no, when we're talking
about the hicken Loopers and the Bennetts and the Polises
and the Michelle Obama and the Newsoms, we are superior.
I mean, let's say we are superior morally ethically, virtue,
character is start with the core.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Issue of life. The core issue of life.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I mean, you've got all those people I just mentioned
now are avidly, ferociously devoted to the legalized mass killing
of humans up to the moment of birth. That is
that there is a direct parallel there to the difference
between the people who favored legalized slavery and the abolitionist
(29:49):
and the people who opposed it. And I'm sorry, the
people who stand up and fight for those innocent lives
and oppose those political powers I just mentioned, they are
superior morally ethically, in terms of character and virtue. If
you disagree, let me know you know where to find me.
But you got to back it up, back it up,
(30:11):
or pack it up. Three or three seven point three
eight two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
And now back to the Dan Taplass Show podcast.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, my
fellow Americans. Last night, when I spoke with you about
the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment the
troops of the United States and our allies were crossing
(30:44):
the channel in another and greater operation. It has come
to pass with success thus far, and so in this
poignant hour I yield to join with me in prayer.
(31:04):
Almighty God, our sons, pride of our nation, this day
have set upon the mighty endeavor a struggle to preserve
our public, our religion, and our civilization, and to set
free a suffering humanity. Plead them straight and true, Give
(31:31):
strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in
their faith. They will need Thy blessings. Their role will
be long and hard, for the enemy is strong. He
may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with
(31:54):
rushing speed, but we shall return again and again. And
we know that by Thy grace and by the righteousness
of our cause, our sons will cry them.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Wow, you know, today's Democratic Party, they would have been
to the Supreme Court before he got to the second
paragraph of that speech.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
As as soon as the President of.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
The United States FDR very appropriately began as appeal to God.
It's really interesting the common thread, right, interesting is the
wrong word. It's confirming when you follow that thread all
the way back to the Founders who were up against
even longer odds than the US faced in World War Two,
and they said, Okay, we're doing this, We're going to
(32:44):
fight the breats because we rely.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
On divine providence.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
How he got endowed by the Creator with these inalienable rights,
and yeah, that is what allowed our country to be born.
That's what's allowed our country to stay alive. That's what
it's allowed our country to thrive. And so that's why
this is such a moment of testing because the modern
Democratic Party, with so many good people of faith registered Democrats,
(33:10):
the Modern Democratic Party has been taken over by rabid
anti faith secularists who are trying to separate people from
their Christian faith and most other faiths because they know
if people vote their faith, the left loses, so the
Modern Democratic Party loses. So it's a real moment of
testing three or three seven one, three eight, two five
(33:32):
five text d AN five seven seven thirty nine. So
thanking and celebrating our veterans today lots on the agenda
acopia of topics. We've been contrasting Michelle Obama complaining about
her sacrifice as first Lady on a day when we
honor the real sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Of so many.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
I didn't really have that choices.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Firstly, Yeah, every day, every time I was up, as
we called it, you know, I was up for the public, yes,
and the days were were long, so as you mentioned,
to save time, yes, you know, I know, having a
glam team, a trifecta, it feels like a luxury, but
it was a time and time this necessity.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, what a sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
So I don't think this nation can ever fully repay
her three three seven, three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven through nine. Ryan explain
to us that the trifecta means hair, makeup, and wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Thank you, Ryan. I thought the trifecta meant the.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Trifecta I have, which is body, hair and face wash
all in one bottle.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Isn't it?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Four though? With conditioner for your hair because you've got
great hair. Dan, I got to say thank you for that,
thank you for that. You know how much conditioner I use?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
How much? None?
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Does Amy kind of get jealous of you about that,
because you know women, they have all these different products
of putting in your hair.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
The society is the body washing my hair.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Honestly, I've used conditioner once in five years. Okay, yeah,
and don't miss it. Text, are not happier with me? Dan,
With all due respect, it seems like you have an
obsession with Michelle Obama. Remember many times you stated she
was running in the twenty four election. If the Obamas
wanted to tip and it would have text or please
(35:23):
listen to the reporting we've been doing here many democratic sources. Well,
first of all, obviously Obama was behind the coup of Biden.
He opposed sticking Kama in there. Who do you think
the Obamas wanted to stick in there? No, she's out
in public for a reason. Now there's another election coming

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