Speaker 2 (00:14):
Indeed, Matt Dunn sitting in for Dan Caplis, and yeah,
friend and fan of Dan Caplis in his thirty years
in the ring, and myself I over twenty years in
the talk radio ring. If you can imagine that I
must be getting old or something. I try not to
admit it, but surely that is not happening. I'll do
(00:38):
that later in life. I'll do that next year. I'll
put it off. I'm gonna procrastinate on that. One quick note,
we're going to have a distinguished guest here in just
a second. Had a texter to studio who pointed out
the Nobel Peace Prize comes from Norway. The rest come
from Sweden, and that is exactly right. The Nobel Peace
Prize comes out of the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, Norway,
(01:04):
and I was there last year. In Norway, I think
is like the coolest, most amazing country and I cannot
wait to put skis on there. I didn't get to
ski when I was last there, So everything I was
saying about all that nobel stuff, I just disregard that. Anyway,
Alert Texter there. I got a bunch more text I'll
go through in a moment. But hey, there has been
(01:24):
a kind of a new landmark decision, as headed up
in this article the Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado Schools when
landmarks settlement protecting female athletes by Jen Schumann in the
Rocky Mountain Voice. And we have an opportunity to speak
with Peter Hilts, the superintendent of District forty nine here
(01:49):
in Colorado, about this landmark settlement, this landmark decision, and
without further ado, Peter Hilts, thank you for joining the
program today.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I appreciate the invite. And this is certainly a day
for celebration right on.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Can you offer a little summarizing of what has gone on,
why is it significant, and what can we expect now?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, back in April, a group of school leaders from
around Colorado, dozens of us, we sent a letter to
the Colorado High School Activities Association CHASSA, and we said, hey,
you've got a by law that requires us to allow
transgender students to participate according to their express gender. But
you've also got a by law that specifically says that
(02:36):
if you let boys compete against girls, you're going to
suppress girls participation. And it actually says we'll destroy the
intent of CHASSA to promote and encourage the growth of
female involvement. So how do you square the circle? We said,
can you please clarify for us and commit to us
that you won't punish us if we hold a traditional,
(02:58):
common sense view that girls ought to compete against girls?
And CHASSA responded to that and they said, no, we
will not clarify that for you. If anything, we think
that needs to be clarified in the federal courts. So
we took them up on their offer. We passed a policy,
we filed in the federal court system, and we named CHASSA,
the state Attorney General and the Colorado Civil Rights Division.
(03:21):
We said, we really need to protect our student athletes
and their coaches from possible sanctions. So this week we
are really proud to announce a settlement with CHASSA where
they have agreed not to sanction our student athletes and
not to sanction our coaches. Our teams or our districts
if we adopt this, as we have in Disrect forty nine,
(03:43):
this common sense policy that some experiences ought to be
exclusively reserved for girls to compete against girls.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Hey, well done, may I say, And as the father
of two daughters, and also and I've been following what's
been going on in college swimming over the last few years.
Seems to have been a little different in the last
year or so. That starts to get your attention. And
(04:13):
I do think it does seem rather not common sensical
to basically almost everyone except for a certain few. But
so you anticipate this will be significant moving forward.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Well, we do. We think this is actually the first step.
But it was critically important to secure this protection for
our athletes and our coaches under their bylaws CHASSA. Because
CHASSA is a membership organization, they're not accountable to the
legislature or the state Board of Education or the Department
of Education. They're accountable to their members and we are one.
(04:50):
And so what we were seeking was assurances that they
would not sanction our students or our coaches. And this
is not an empty threat. We've actually been on the
receiving end of this posturing from Chassa in the past.
If they don't like the decision that you make, whether
it's about transgender identification or participation. But if they don't
(05:11):
like the decision, then they can exclude you from postseason play.
They can determine that your action is unsportsmanlike or constitute's
gross misconduct. So we really need it as a first step.
We needed to protect our athletes and their coaches. And
so we feel like this agreement, which is a binding,
permanent agreement, that has accomplished something tremendously important. But we're
(05:34):
not done. We still have an active lawsuit against the
Attorney General of Colorado as well as the Civil Rights Division,
because we think that there is a federal question of
whether Colorado's constitution and law should be controlling over school
districts or whether the federal Title nine guarantees of opportunities
for girls should be controlling, and so we filed this
(05:57):
lawsuit in part to resolve that federal state conflict.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Very well done and it does say here, we're speaking
with Peter Hilt's superintendent of District forty nine. By the way,
can you say where that district is? Forty nine?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
So we make up about the eastern half of the
city of Colorado Springs, and then we extend into al
Paso County proper, what about one hundred and thirty square
miles excellent.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
In this article in the Colorado Voice, it says districts
may separate locker rooms, hotel rooms, and overnight accommodations without
triggering any discipline from the Activities Association. That seems like
pretty much common sense to me, and it seems pretty
significant that's part of this overall decision.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Apparently it is because in their bylaws, CHASSA at least
created the possibility that they would judge us as discriminatory
and unsportsmanlike if we separated boys and girls, whether in
hotel rooms or locker rooms or accommodations. And while it
(07:06):
does seem like basic common sense, isn't it extraordinary that
we had to file a federal lawsuit to get CHASSA
to respond and make that commitment.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yes, yes it is. And which court did this decision
come from? I'm not seeing that in my reading here.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Because it's because in the federal system. So we filed
in the Colorado District of the Federal court system, which
is a court underneath the Tenth Circuit, underneath the Supreme Court.
And this is actually a party to party settlement between
CHASSA and the plaintiff districts. District forty nine is one
of four districts as well as four additional schools that
(07:49):
jointly filed this complaint. And so we are dismissing CHASSA
as a defendant because they have largely agreed to the
elements about which we were most concerned. They have protected
our students and their coaches from illegitimate subjective sanctions just
for standing up for common sense, for advocating for safety
(08:10):
and privacy for all of our student athletes.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Very good. And another note here, Apparently the agreement clarifies
that if a school of forfeits a contest involving a
transgender athlete, the only result is a recorded loss CHSAA,
you call that CHASSA cannot treat the decision as a
sportsmanship violation or launch an investigation. Also rather significant there, yes.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Very significant now, Bluckly, I think it is still unfair
that a student who has worked hard for many years
she had to have the opportunity to practice, to compete,
to learn from victory, and to learn from defeat to
earn scholarships. And I don't want one unfair loss, but
I certainly don't want to compound the unfairness of a
(08:58):
forfeit with a further investigate and an accusation or sanctions
that might keep that team out of the postseason or
might prohibit that coach from coaching again. So we feel
like we won the lion's share of what we needed
to protect our students and their coaches. Now we're on
to the more constitutional question of whether federal or state
(09:19):
law should control school district policy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Wow. Okay, well, let me just say, Peter Hilt, superintendent
of District forty nine from US here, thank you for
your common sense. We're trying to restore some common sense
to the education world on this matter. That you know,
I guess it's the kind of thing that it really
(09:42):
struck me is last some odd years, I was a
little amazed that this kind of thing was even happening.
And now it's time to correct correct matters a little bit,
move things the other way back towards common sense. And
this is, as you were saying, more work to be done,
but but well on the way. So Peter Hilts, yeah,
(10:04):
thank you, for the good work here in and thank
you for joining us on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
We appreciate it. Have a great afternoon.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We'll do all right, And it's Matt done in for
Dan Caplis, and let's take our little break and we'll
come back and pick up where we left off and
now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. Welcome back
to the Dan Caplis Show. It's Matt Dunn sitting in
here today. And yeah, I remember watching was it the
(10:34):
NC Double A Swimming Championships for women or was it
just the Ivy League one where transgender athlete Leah Thomas
won by quite a bit, And I just remember them
standing on the you know, the victory stand up and
Leah Thomas was like a head taller than the two
(10:58):
women next to her, and I just that just doesn't
pass the common sense test. And I think, you know,
you're starting to see that, you know, one piece at
a time, being pushed back by the common sense of
the American people. A bunch of wonderful text to the studio,
(11:19):
and one listener did point out that the guitarist on
the Paranoid song by Ozzy Osbourne is Tony Iomi and
technically we did play the Black Sabbath version of Paranoid,
but the one I was referring to was from an
Ozzy Osbourne solo live album where he had Randy Rhodes
(11:39):
doing it. But may great catch Who are you out there?
Who know you're Black Sabbath? So well, that was quite
a band back in the day, and I was thinking,
should we go to some phone line action here? What
if we set a couple of hellos andout? How about
Lion one? First out of the gate? Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Hi man, it's so good to hear you on the
radio right on.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And your name if you don't mind, Carlylan, Oh, I
don't see it. I don't see the name.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
That's okay, Hey, I have a question.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yes, ma'am, I'm gonna and this is Carli right because
it cut out.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
This island Ranch.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh love to hear your voice, Miss Carly.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Same here. Okay, I'm going to ask you. I'm going
to list several things and then you can just respond
every time. First of all, what prompted this was when
you mentioned Christopher Ray. Because my stomach starts to turn
whenever I hear that guy's name. I want to know
what's happened to all of the investigations, hearings, Ron Paul
(12:41):
for Fauci. They were going to call in that whole
committee that Liz Cheney headed up. They took the phone
records or they have the phone records of Jim Jordan, Comer,
Graham Cruz, the autopin Biden people. What happened to all this?
Why aren't their investigations going on? And I started calling.
I called Jim Jordan's office earlier this week because well done.
(13:05):
I'm so tired of seeing these people on television. Oh
blah blah blah blah blah. Where are the televised investigations.
I want to see them.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You want to see stuff happen. You want to see accountability? Yes, yeah, oh, because.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
The process is the punishment. I want to see it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yep, boy, we've had years of process.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Yeah, as I am call, I am so sick of this.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You know that is the question mark and you've isolated
it right there, Carly Is. Can you ever actually actually
get that deserved, oh so deserved accountability for the for
the deep state and those names you were just throwing
out there, you know, the Rays, the Komis, the Brennans
of the world. You know, they've just been the unelecteds
(13:54):
operating behind the scenes, pulling the levers and getting their way,
you know, from the sha hoax to go down the
list almost I mean, can the worm turn on that?
And I think it still is an open question at
this point. That's why we're.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Saying three years left, you know, we do.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And it starts, it has to happen. Now, I'm surprised, like,
why don't we have more information about the you know,
the original July twenty for Trump assassination attempt? I mean,
why has that made it gone away? And the way
that Epstein stuff was handled, I mean, doesn't that leave
(14:33):
some some something to be desired with the way that
was so back and forth all the way along. We're
definitely not getting there to my satisfaction or anywhere close
to it. Yet. You can always hope next year, you know, maybe,
but the Jim Jordan's going Fox News and you know,
(14:55):
the Pam Bondies and Cash Catells even yeah comer and
I mean went after Act Blue was it like a
year ago? And Act Blues like never been stronger, right,
I think I.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Just wondered your opinion if you were thinking of you
has this crossed your mind? And it does.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And it's very hard to achieve this when most of
the actual Republican Party people in there are part of
the problem. Would you agree with that? I would that
most of them are in there to do a certain
job when they're kind of tied into that whole establishment apparatus,
and it's hard for them to actually step out of
(15:33):
that and get things that. You get a handful out
there that can do that, and then they end up
having problems. But Trump is the is the variable there,
and I do think.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
He can in his cabinet, he can actually.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Get things through. I just I do wish we had
a different attorney general. I just I wish I could
have more respect for Pambondi. But it seems like, you know,
she goes on the Fox News and does the kind
of the good pr But is that really the person
we need in there? Right?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I kind of agree with you, yes, And I would
think that she would have a better presence in terms
of speaking when she's on these shows. But whatever, Yeah,
if any.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Was itself, I think is on the wrong side of
accountability for the deep state.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
And what about Letitia James? I just thought of her too.
You couldn't be more criminal if you tried. And is
this going to be appealed? Have you heard anything? Because
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Is she going to be protected? I think there's going
to be more to that story. I haven't been in
the weeds on that one in a while, but that
seems pretty obvious.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Yes, Biden thing too, because this is just going to
I mean, it's just going to happen again whenever it
starts to suits their purposes.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
How do you mean, like the puppet in office. I
do not believe vegetable in office kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Yes, yes, and and so many other people I believe.
I mean, it's my own person belief, the sign so
many of these so called executive orders, because he was
just a figurehead. He was just in there to take
up space.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Right, and the people behind him it's going to happen again. Well, right,
and the people behind Biden were running the country. And
I mentioned earlier that Jake Tapper is running around acting
all shocked about that. And if you believe that for
one micro millisecond, you know you're not quite getting through
the way things work in DC and the media is transactional.
(17:24):
If you have a job. In almost every corner of
the media, it's a you're doing a job for a
certain entity, it's monetized in some way, or you're you're
allowed to stay in your position in some way because
I think an establishment decides that. You know, that's that's
what you were there to do. You were not there
to report the truth. You are not there to get
(17:45):
to the bottom of things. You are not there for
accountability for the unelected and the rest of it. And
that might sound like a harsh and cynical opinion, but
guess what that is true?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
But President Trump is one man. He's got a pretty
good solid cap. But outside of that, the rest of
these nimrods, what are they doing.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
They've thrown everything they've had at him. And guess what,
he is on top, on top of the world, respected
around the world, and just got the FIFA Peace Prize.
FIFA Peace Prize. You see that, Carly? Okay, yeah, we're
stepping out. Actually, thank you, Carly. Wonderful to hear you.
Matt Don and for Dan Capless, be right back. You're
(18:26):
listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Little Blondie call
Me Debbie Harry, unimpeachably cool was Debbie Harry? Is Debbie Harry?
And why do I recall like she has a birthday
this week? It just popped into my head some Actually,
I probably am missing that, but I think she's December.
(18:48):
I could be wrong, but anyway, she has always been
one of the greatest. Those songs immortal. And yeah, the
phone lines have filled up on us here and I
don't know how to handle it. That would you believe
Debbie Harry is eighty years old?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
She's eighty now now not buying it, no way, eighty
as of July one is her birthday.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
July I only missed it by seven months, overshot it
six months. Something in there, Happy birthday in advance. Let's
just do that. Yeah, well, up to the front. But
one quick vignette. I had a flat tire the other
day on my vehicle, and so I changed the tire.
(19:30):
It's been a while since I've done that, but I
still know how to do that. I used to somehow
do that more often. I wanted to show my son
how to change a tire, a thirteen year old, and
so showed him how to do that. And I don't
think he found it particularly fascinating, but I was just
wondering about that that it seems like people don't change
their tires anymore. They just call triple A or do whatever.
(19:52):
And do gentlemen still go change tires of somebody in
distress on the side of the road anymore? Does that
kind of thing still happen? Considered ghosh at this point
in time. But anyway, I will admit I was looking
at potentially getting a new vehicle sometime, and I'm finding
out that most new cars don't have spare tires anymore,
(20:12):
or a lot of them. They just don't even have
spare tires anymore. And I was like, no, no, no, I
want a spare tire. I want an extra tire in there,
because I you know, don't you think you would need
a spare tire in your car just in case you
know you need one? But I don't know if anybody
has opinions on that. Would you be comfortable driving a
(20:35):
car around without a spare tire? Seems like most people
maybe are these days at any rate, honored by these
full hot action phone line scenario things. Here, let's go
right in order and let's bring up line too. Warren
Warren Carras Springs, thank you for checking in, sir, Yeah,
(20:56):
how you doing.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
I you know, this is coming Sunday, December the seventh,
the eighty four years since the attack on Pearl Harbor.
What I was going to talk about was the fact
that it's amazing how many people still still believe the
conspiracy theory that Fdr Franklin Roosevelt, the president of the
country at the time, knew in advance that the Japanese
(21:19):
are going to attack Pearl Harbord and purposely let it
happen so we could get in the war against Germany
and Europe.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, Japan in particular, right, But you say that would
not be accurate. You think Fdr had no foreknowledge, did
not know the first thing about that, well, that.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
About Pearl Harbord. No, he knew that the Japanese based
on intelligence that they were getting through the diplomatic they
booked the diplomatic code, and they knew how the diplomats
were talking about what they were doing, and they knew
something was going to happen. And what I could do
to you is give you three points on I think that.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Real quick one. Note on that real quick one. I
sort of thought that the scholarly consensus to the extent
of that matters about anything, was that lately, maybe the
last decade or two, that FDR did know that that
was going to happen. And I haven't sat around like
digging into this myself, but you might know more. But
(22:20):
would you agree with that that maybe FDR did know
and with the Charles Lindberger's and people running around not
wanting America to go to war for Europe again, you know,
and all that that he did need something to get
America in there, and the British were begging and begging
for it in Churchill and all the rest of it.
They were flailing.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
And well, he knew, he knew, and that people in
Washington knew that the Japanese is going to start something. Okay,
there's no doubt about that, because all the indications pointed
towards it. But Forrest Rulesevelt knowing that Pearl Harbor was
going to be attacked, no, no, after what I read
on the subject, absolutely thinking about the book if you
ever want to read about it, was written by Gordon Trying.
(23:00):
He was on MacArthur's historical staff and won in Japan
after the war. He was his chief historian and research
of subjects for three decades. He came out with a
book called at Donwich Slipt. Gordon Prang. If you want
to know about it, I'll tell you. The whole story.
I'll tell you was that there's two sentences. The Army
got a warning and the Navy got a warning. The
(23:21):
two first sentences the Army got where negotiations with Japan
appeared to be determinated to all practical purposes, with only
the barest possibilities the Japanese government might come back and
offer to continue Japanese future action unpredictable, but hostile action
possible at any moment. The Navy their warning said this
the first two sentences this dispatch is to be considered
(23:44):
a war warning. Negotiations with Japan, looking towards stabilization of
the conditions in the Pacific have seized an aggressive move
by Japan's expected within the next few days. Now, one
more point I want to make on that if there's
an action that's twenty two to three thousand years old,
if you're a military commander i an outpost, never never
(24:07):
let your command be caught by surprise. Those two commanders
let their command be caught by surprise after they were
given a war warning.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Well, yeah, tragic, awful. As a kid, I went out
there and toured the Pearl Harbor site, very memorable. The
boat's still there underwater, you know, uh Hawaii. But let's
remember that. Yeah, December seventh, this coming Sunday, Pearl Harbor Day. Warren,
(24:38):
thank you for bringing some information on that into the
program here. I very much appreciate it. Let's carry on,
Let's keep carrying on. Brad in Lakewood, Brad the man,
how you been, sir.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Good to hear from you. As a matter of fact,
a couple of years ago, when I was riding my
motorcycle by Lineman, I saw a young woman stop run
start road with the flat terror and I did stop
and help her and changed it. She offered me money,
but I did it for free.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
But any what a gentleman, Brad that is you? Yes,
A plus a plus.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
But anyway, more calling about Charles Grassley. Now he won't
remove the blue slips. As a result, Trump can't get
his nominees like Alena haba in in the Blue States.
And I think Charles Grassley is basically aiding and betting
the enemy. And first I think, why does everybody think
Charles Grassley. Is that good if he's doing things like that.
(25:31):
Another problem we have is the Speaker of the House,
Mike Johnson, who refuses to bring up HR ten forty
for a vote by Massey which would eliminate the tax
on Social Security. So it appears Trump's two main problems
are Charles Grassley and Mike Johnson.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Charles Chuck. You ever call him Chuck?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Chuck Grassley, I call him Charles.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You call him Charles.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Just annoy him.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You know, ninety plus year old senator from Iowa who's
been better than your average, but seems to me that
he doesn't quite have the tenacity that I wish he
had on these kinds of matters. And what you're pointing to,
Brad here is that unfortunately the Republicans in Congress tend
to just not be able to get anything productive done,
(26:18):
and even conservative media most all of it, just can't
quite do it. And it's part of the propaganda problem
that we face as conservatives that it's very hard to
decipher who's really trying to do something for the American
people and who isn't a lot of obfuscation, And I
just really wish, you know, the rhino term is I think, boy,
(26:39):
that is the most faithful term that if there wasn't
such a thing as a rhino, this country would be
a lot different place. It really would, and the Republican
Party would be really square with where the American people are.
The elections would be so lopsided in favor of the GOP.
But they make it hard, Brad, don't you think?
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Yeah? I agree.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
St. Charles Gresley only has I mean a shoes me
Steve's PLACEE only has a house work in one hundred
and fifteen days. And as often said, when the Democrats
control one third of Congress, they seem to have an
all prompt passing their agenda. When the Republicans control all
three branch of the government, all they do is make
excuses on why they can't do anything.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Well, you almost wonder could we pro rate their salaries
based on amount of days worked? What do you think, Brad?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Oh, that that'd be an excellent idea.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
So one fifteen out of three sixty five, that's a
little less than a third. So what if we looked
at their salary and said, okay, let's chop that two
thirds of that out. Wonder if that would go over well?
And two thirds off of the benefits and two thirds me.
You know, well they're working when they're not in there, right,
but that's what they'll tell you, But not getting a
(27:48):
whole lot done my opinion.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah, a couple couple other good bills that Johnson could
bring up for a voter by MTG to eliminate the
capital gains tax on the sale of homes. Andy Clare
Antifa a terrorist organization. So does why does Trump think
Mike Johnson is so good?
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Well, I don't think he does. But that's the guy
he has to work with. And that's where Trump meets
kind of political reality.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
He has to deal with Congress. He has to deal
with the senators, who are generally a pretty lackluster bunch.
I mean, the the GOP Senate is just a disaster.
And you and I have discussed this for years, Brad, unfortunately,
but that's just the way it is. He's got to
work with him. He's got to put on the best
face he can and uh, you know, come election time,
(28:38):
seems like this van epsk guy in Tennessee just won,
the guy Trump endorsed. So I think, uh, I think
things are looking up in that way, but I'd keep
going if I could, Brad h wonderful to hear your voice.
Keep up your grassroots activism and yes, gentlemanly demeanor, changing
the changing the tire out there on the side of
the road anyway to be continued. Hey, Matt Dunn setting
(29:01):
in for Dan Caplis. Be right back and now back
to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast Love Her Boy Action
bringing us back Matt don in for Dan Caplis. Canadian
band there with a penchant for red leather with silver zippers.
Who knows but you Yeah, that's what I wear. Only
(29:23):
on weekends though, and one's coming up here. Let's go
make the most of it. Let's go enjoy it, live
your best life. Don't get too caught up in the
political hurly burly. Just go enjoy it. You know what
I mean. We're living this life. Great Texas Studio, a
bunch of them. Someone says yes to needing a spare tire. Yes,
(29:44):
I stopped to assist. Well done. Another one postal worker
changed the tire for my mom. In nineteen seventy six,
I was in first grade on the interstate of Memphis,
Tennessee in the winter Memphis, the Great Suns Studios, Oh Yeah,
how about some Elvis, some Jerrel Lee, some John A. Cash,
(30:05):
Carl Perkins, those guys. Here's a good one. Uh, Doctor
donn electric vehicles don't have spare tires. What guess you
better plan to be in cell phone range if you
don't have a spare tire, or you will be waiting
a long time. Alexa sends an observation, I did not
know this about EV's no spare tires.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
What well you figure they have met weighs like you know,
no room Ton tire big exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
So what happens you're flat tire? You're out there in
the middle of canyon lands, Utah, and you have no
cell phone cover. You just hang out for a couple
of days. I hope you have some water with you.
Here's one that it's mysterious. My mom bought me parallel
lines in nineteen seventy seven. I was in second grade.
I do not quite understand what that text means, but
(30:56):
I like it that I like it. Amen. I wanted
to play the audio for the Trump FIFA Peace Prize
here in a second. But guess what President Donald Trump
just had advanced imaging done by his White House physician,
doctor Sean P. Barbabella and guess what. It all comes
(31:19):
out good, excellent cardiovascular and abdominal health. His abdominal imaging
is perfectly normal. Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health summary.
The level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive
physical at President Trump's agent confirms that he remains in
(31:40):
excellent overall health. I like to hear that. I do. Indeed,
Milania Trump out reading books to children at the Children's
National Hospital, National Children's Hospital in Washington, DC today and
that's very good. And yes, it's good time. And you know,
the village people were out there at this five Peace
(32:03):
Prize event and Trump jumps up in dances. This is
YMCA dance. You know, hey, the dancing man and is
just fun. Hey, let's enjoy life being president and all that.
Let's hear it. Hey, this is the Peace Prize. Ladies
and gentlemen, let's hear let's hear the I'm introduced it.
This Italian guy who heads up FIFA.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
FIFA, the Federal Antnationional the Football Association, awards the twenty
twenty five FIFA Peace Prize Football Unites the World to
Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America,
in recognition of his exceptional and extraordinary actions to promote
peace and unity around the world. Friday, December fifth, twenty
(32:46):
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
This is a certificate, it's yours, Thank you very much.
This is truly one of the great honors of my life.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
And beyond the wards, John and I were discuss saying this,
we saved millions and millions of lives.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Wow. Well, so the FIFA Peace Prize. That was President
Gianni Infantino awarding the prize. Pretty good French accent from
that guy when he was doing the French thing, and
it has got to great a few people out there,
but they award this, this award to an individual who
achieved exceptional and extraordinary action to promote peace and unity
(33:27):
around the world. I rest my case. I can only
imagine how that is going over in some quarters when
you hear that, when you hear that, when some people
hear that about Donald Trump. But FIFA, that's a gigantic
organization with a gigantic fan base. So I'm just kind
of thinking, Nobel, what Nobel? Who we got the FIFA
(33:49):
Peace Prize? And for the folks that are skeptical, do
look into Trump's record, wade through the propaganda. And look
who is anti war, who wants to stop killing? Who
has been starting the wars? Who has been doing the killing?
Even Barack Obama. Yeah, you know, there we are running
around the Middle East. There we are in Libya under
Joe Biden. We have the Ukraine thing. Yeah, I mean,
(34:12):
go down the list. It seems like when the establishment's
in power, when the establishment runs the State Department, we
get more war, more death, more killing. Trump shows up
and you get less of it. And I just ask,
you know, could you consider breaking through the propaganda? And
uh uh I was going to talk to David in Denver,
David if you could save your thoughts for a near
(34:33):
term show. Thank you David for hanging on the lines
there a little bit. I think I got carried away
on some of the vignettes. But again, yeah, Matt don
I'm a Denver dentist, hang out, do a little talk
radio once in a while. Ryan, thank you for having
me on board. Love the chance to come in and
cackle a little. Be back soon
This is Dan capless 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,

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Indeed, Matt Dunn sitting in for Dan Caplis, and yeah,
friend and fan of Dan Caplis in his thirty years
in the ring, and myself I over twenty years in
the talk radio ring. If you can imagine that I
must be getting old or something. I try not to
admit it, but surely that is not happening. I'll do
(00:38):
that later in life. I'll do that next year. I'll
put it off. I'm gonna procrastinate on that. One quick note,
we're going to have a distinguished guest here in just
a second. Had a texter to studio who pointed out
the Nobel Peace Prize comes from Norway. The rest come
from Sweden, and that is exactly right. The Nobel Peace
Prize comes out of the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, Norway,
(01:04):
and I was there last year. In Norway, I think
is like the coolest, most amazing country and I cannot
wait to put skis on there. I didn't get to
ski when I was last there, So everything I was
saying about all that nobel stuff, I just disregard that. Anyway,
Alert Texter there. I got a bunch more text I'll
go through in a moment. But hey, there has been
(01:24):
a kind of a new landmark decision, as headed up
in this article the Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado Schools when
landmarks settlement protecting female athletes by Jen Schumann in the
Rocky Mountain Voice. And we have an opportunity to speak
with Peter Hilts, the superintendent of District forty nine here
(01:49):
in Colorado, about this landmark settlement, this landmark decision, and
without further ado, Peter Hilts, thank you for joining the
program today.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I appreciate the invite. And this is certainly a day
for celebration right on.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Can you offer a little summarizing of what has gone on,
why is it significant, and what can we expect now?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, back in April, a group of school leaders from
around Colorado, dozens of us, we sent a letter to
the Colorado High School Activities Association CHASSA, and we said, hey,
you've got a by law that requires us to allow
transgender students to participate according to their express gender. But
you've also got a by law that specifically says that
(02:36):
if you let boys compete against girls, you're going to
suppress girls participation. And it actually says we'll destroy the
intent of CHASSA to promote and encourage the growth of
female involvement. So how do you square the circle? We said,
can you please clarify for us and commit to us
that you won't punish us if we hold a traditional,
(02:58):
common sense view that girls ought to compete against girls?
And CHASSA responded to that and they said, no, we
will not clarify that for you. If anything, we think
that needs to be clarified in the federal courts. So
we took them up on their offer. We passed a policy,
we filed in the federal court system, and we named CHASSA,
the state Attorney General and the Colorado Civil Rights Division.
(03:21):
We said, we really need to protect our student athletes
and their coaches from possible sanctions. So this week we
are really proud to announce a settlement with CHASSA where
they have agreed not to sanction our student athletes and
not to sanction our coaches. Our teams or our districts
if we adopt this, as we have in Disrect forty nine,
(03:43):
this common sense policy that some experiences ought to be
exclusively reserved for girls to compete against girls.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Hey, well done, may I say, And as the father
of two daughters, and also and I've been following what's
been going on in college swimming over the last few years.
Seems to have been a little different in the last
year or so. That starts to get your attention. And
(04:13):
I do think it does seem rather not common sensical
to basically almost everyone except for a certain few. But
so you anticipate this will be significant moving forward.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Well, we do. We think this is actually the first step.
But it was critically important to secure this protection for
our athletes and our coaches under their bylaws CHASSA. Because
CHASSA is a membership organization, they're not accountable to the
legislature or the state Board of Education or the Department
of Education. They're accountable to their members and we are one.
(04:50):
And so what we were seeking was assurances that they
would not sanction our students or our coaches. And this
is not an empty threat. We've actually been on the
receiving end of this posturing from Chassa in the past.
If they don't like the decision that you make, whether
it's about transgender identification or participation. But if they don't
(05:11):
like the decision, then they can exclude you from postseason play.
They can determine that your action is unsportsmanlike or constitute's
gross misconduct. So we really need it as a first step.
We needed to protect our athletes and their coaches. And
so we feel like this agreement, which is a binding,
permanent agreement, that has accomplished something tremendously important. But we're
(05:34):
not done. We still have an active lawsuit against the
Attorney General of Colorado as well as the Civil Rights Division,
because we think that there is a federal question of
whether Colorado's constitution and law should be controlling over school
districts or whether the federal Title nine guarantees of opportunities
for girls should be controlling, and so we filed this
(05:57):
lawsuit in part to resolve that federal state conflict.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Very well done and it does say here, we're speaking
with Peter Hilt's superintendent of District forty nine. By the way,
can you say where that district is? Forty nine?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
So we make up about the eastern half of the
city of Colorado Springs, and then we extend into al
Paso County proper, what about one hundred and thirty square
miles excellent.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
In this article in the Colorado Voice, it says districts
may separate locker rooms, hotel rooms, and overnight accommodations without
triggering any discipline from the Activities Association. That seems like
pretty much common sense to me, and it seems pretty
significant that's part of this overall decision.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Apparently it is because in their bylaws, CHASSA at least
created the possibility that they would judge us as discriminatory
and unsportsmanlike if we separated boys and girls, whether in
hotel rooms or locker rooms or accommodations. And while it
(07:06):
does seem like basic common sense, isn't it extraordinary that
we had to file a federal lawsuit to get CHASSA
to respond and make that commitment.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yes, yes it is. And which court did this decision
come from? I'm not seeing that in my reading here.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Because it's because in the federal system. So we filed
in the Colorado District of the Federal court system, which
is a court underneath the Tenth Circuit, underneath the Supreme Court.
And this is actually a party to party settlement between
CHASSA and the plaintiff districts. District forty nine is one
of four districts as well as four additional schools that
(07:49):
jointly filed this complaint. And so we are dismissing CHASSA
as a defendant because they have largely agreed to the
elements about which we were most concerned. They have protected
our students and their coaches from illegitimate subjective sanctions just
for standing up for common sense, for advocating for safety
(08:10):
and privacy for all of our student athletes.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Very good. And another note here, Apparently the agreement clarifies
that if a school of forfeits a contest involving a
transgender athlete, the only result is a recorded loss CHSAA,
you call that CHASSA cannot treat the decision as a
sportsmanship violation or launch an investigation. Also rather significant there, yes.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Very significant now, Bluckly, I think it is still unfair
that a student who has worked hard for many years
she had to have the opportunity to practice, to compete,
to learn from victory, and to learn from defeat to
earn scholarships. And I don't want one unfair loss, but
I certainly don't want to compound the unfairness of a
(08:58):
forfeit with a further investigate and an accusation or sanctions
that might keep that team out of the postseason or
might prohibit that coach from coaching again. So we feel
like we won the lion's share of what we needed
to protect our students and their coaches. Now we're on
to the more constitutional question of whether federal or state
(09:19):
law should control school district policy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Wow. Okay, well, let me just say, Peter Hilt, superintendent
of District forty nine from US here, thank you for
your common sense. We're trying to restore some common sense
to the education world on this matter. That you know,
I guess it's the kind of thing that it really
(09:42):
struck me is last some odd years, I was a
little amazed that this kind of thing was even happening.
And now it's time to correct correct matters a little bit,
move things the other way back towards common sense. And
this is, as you were saying, more work to be done,
but but well on the way. So Peter Hilts, yeah,
(10:04):
thank you, for the good work here in and thank
you for joining us on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
We appreciate it. Have a great afternoon.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We'll do all right, And it's Matt done in for
Dan Caplis, and let's take our little break and we'll
come back and pick up where we left off and
now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. Welcome back
to the Dan Caplis Show. It's Matt Dunn sitting in
here today. And yeah, I remember watching was it the
(10:34):
NC Double A Swimming Championships for women or was it
just the Ivy League one where transgender athlete Leah Thomas
won by quite a bit, And I just remember them
standing on the you know, the victory stand up and
Leah Thomas was like a head taller than the two
(10:58):
women next to her, and I just that just doesn't
pass the common sense test. And I think, you know,
you're starting to see that, you know, one piece at
a time, being pushed back by the common sense of
the American people. A bunch of wonderful text to the studio,
(11:19):
and one listener did point out that the guitarist on
the Paranoid song by Ozzy Osbourne is Tony Iomi and
technically we did play the Black Sabbath version of Paranoid,
but the one I was referring to was from an
Ozzy Osbourne solo live album where he had Randy Rhodes
(11:39):
doing it. But may great catch Who are you out there?
Who know you're Black Sabbath? So well, that was quite
a band back in the day, and I was thinking,
should we go to some phone line action here? What
if we set a couple of hellos andout? How about
Lion one? First out of the gate? Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Hi man, it's so good to hear you on the
radio right on.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And your name if you don't mind, Carlylan, Oh, I
don't see it. I don't see the name.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
That's okay, Hey, I have a question.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yes, ma'am, I'm gonna and this is Carli right because
it cut out.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
This island Ranch.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh love to hear your voice, Miss Carly.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Same here. Okay, I'm going to ask you. I'm going
to list several things and then you can just respond
every time. First of all, what prompted this was when
you mentioned Christopher Ray. Because my stomach starts to turn
whenever I hear that guy's name. I want to know
what's happened to all of the investigations, hearings, Ron Paul
(12:41):
for Fauci. They were going to call in that whole
committee that Liz Cheney headed up. They took the phone
records or they have the phone records of Jim Jordan, Comer,
Graham Cruz, the autopin Biden people. What happened to all this?
Why aren't their investigations going on? And I started calling.
I called Jim Jordan's office earlier this week because well done.
(13:05):
I'm so tired of seeing these people on television. Oh
blah blah blah blah blah. Where are the televised investigations.
I want to see them.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You want to see stuff happen. You want to see accountability? Yes, yeah, oh, because.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
The process is the punishment. I want to see it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yep, boy, we've had years of process.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Yeah, as I am call, I am so sick of this.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You know that is the question mark and you've isolated
it right there, Carly Is. Can you ever actually actually
get that deserved, oh so deserved accountability for the for
the deep state and those names you were just throwing
out there, you know, the Rays, the Komis, the Brennans
of the world. You know, they've just been the unelecteds
(13:54):
operating behind the scenes, pulling the levers and getting their way,
you know, from the sha hoax to go down the
list almost I mean, can the worm turn on that?
And I think it still is an open question at
this point. That's why we're.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Saying three years left, you know, we do.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And it starts, it has to happen. Now, I'm surprised, like,
why don't we have more information about the you know,
the original July twenty for Trump assassination attempt? I mean,
why has that made it gone away? And the way
that Epstein stuff was handled, I mean, doesn't that leave
(14:33):
some some something to be desired with the way that
was so back and forth all the way along. We're
definitely not getting there to my satisfaction or anywhere close
to it. Yet. You can always hope next year, you know, maybe,
but the Jim Jordan's going Fox News and you know,
(14:55):
the Pam Bondies and Cash Catells even yeah comer and
I mean went after Act Blue was it like a
year ago? And Act Blues like never been stronger, right,
I think I.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Just wondered your opinion if you were thinking of you
has this crossed your mind? And it does.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And it's very hard to achieve this when most of
the actual Republican Party people in there are part of
the problem. Would you agree with that? I would that
most of them are in there to do a certain
job when they're kind of tied into that whole establishment apparatus,
and it's hard for them to actually step out of
(15:33):
that and get things that. You get a handful out
there that can do that, and then they end up
having problems. But Trump is the is the variable there,
and I do think.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
He can in his cabinet, he can actually.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Get things through. I just I do wish we had
a different attorney general. I just I wish I could
have more respect for Pambondi. But it seems like, you know,
she goes on the Fox News and does the kind
of the good pr But is that really the person
we need in there? Right?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I kind of agree with you, yes, And I would
think that she would have a better presence in terms
of speaking when she's on these shows. But whatever, Yeah,
if any.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Was itself, I think is on the wrong side of
accountability for the deep state.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
And what about Letitia James? I just thought of her too.
You couldn't be more criminal if you tried. And is
this going to be appealed? Have you heard anything? Because
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Is she going to be protected? I think there's going
to be more to that story. I haven't been in
the weeds on that one in a while, but that
seems pretty obvious.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Yes, Biden thing too, because this is just going to
I mean, it's just going to happen again whenever it
starts to suits their purposes.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
How do you mean, like the puppet in office. I
do not believe vegetable in office kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Yes, yes, and and so many other people I believe.
I mean, it's my own person belief, the sign so
many of these so called executive orders, because he was
just a figurehead. He was just in there to take
up space.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Right, and the people behind him it's going to happen again. Well, right,
and the people behind Biden were running the country. And
I mentioned earlier that Jake Tapper is running around acting
all shocked about that. And if you believe that for
one micro millisecond, you know you're not quite getting through
the way things work in DC and the media is transactional.
(17:24):
If you have a job. In almost every corner of
the media, it's a you're doing a job for a
certain entity, it's monetized in some way, or you're you're
allowed to stay in your position in some way because
I think an establishment decides that. You know, that's that's
what you were there to do. You were not there
to report the truth. You are not there to get
(17:45):
to the bottom of things. You are not there for
accountability for the unelected and the rest of it. And
that might sound like a harsh and cynical opinion, but
guess what that is true?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
But President Trump is one man. He's got a pretty
good solid cap. But outside of that, the rest of
these nimrods, what are they doing.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
They've thrown everything they've had at him. And guess what,
he is on top, on top of the world, respected
around the world, and just got the FIFA Peace Prize.
FIFA Peace Prize. You see that, Carly? Okay, yeah, we're
stepping out. Actually, thank you, Carly. Wonderful to hear you.
Matt Don and for Dan Capless, be right back. You're
(18:26):
listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Little Blondie call
Me Debbie Harry, unimpeachably cool was Debbie Harry? Is Debbie Harry?
And why do I recall like she has a birthday
this week? It just popped into my head some Actually,
I probably am missing that, but I think she's December.
(18:48):
I could be wrong, but anyway, she has always been
one of the greatest. Those songs immortal. And yeah, the
phone lines have filled up on us here and I
don't know how to handle it. That would you believe
Debbie Harry is eighty years old?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
She's eighty now now not buying it, no way, eighty
as of July one is her birthday.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
July I only missed it by seven months, overshot it
six months. Something in there, Happy birthday in advance. Let's
just do that. Yeah, well, up to the front. But
one quick vignette. I had a flat tire the other
day on my vehicle, and so I changed the tire.
(19:30):
It's been a while since I've done that, but I
still know how to do that. I used to somehow
do that more often. I wanted to show my son
how to change a tire, a thirteen year old, and
so showed him how to do that. And I don't
think he found it particularly fascinating, but I was just
wondering about that that it seems like people don't change
their tires anymore. They just call triple A or do whatever.
(19:52):
And do gentlemen still go change tires of somebody in
distress on the side of the road anymore? Does that
kind of thing still happen? Considered ghosh at this point
in time. But anyway, I will admit I was looking
at potentially getting a new vehicle sometime, and I'm finding
out that most new cars don't have spare tires anymore,
(20:12):
or a lot of them. They just don't even have
spare tires anymore. And I was like, no, no, no, I
want a spare tire. I want an extra tire in there,
because I you know, don't you think you would need
a spare tire in your car just in case you
know you need one? But I don't know if anybody
has opinions on that. Would you be comfortable driving a
(20:35):
car around without a spare tire? Seems like most people
maybe are these days at any rate, honored by these
full hot action phone line scenario things. Here, let's go
right in order and let's bring up line too. Warren
Warren Carras Springs, thank you for checking in, sir, Yeah,
(20:56):
how you doing.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
I you know, this is coming Sunday, December the seventh,
the eighty four years since the attack on Pearl Harbor.
What I was going to talk about was the fact
that it's amazing how many people still still believe the
conspiracy theory that Fdr Franklin Roosevelt, the president of the
country at the time, knew in advance that the Japanese
(21:19):
are going to attack Pearl Harbord and purposely let it
happen so we could get in the war against Germany
and Europe.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, Japan in particular, right, But you say that would
not be accurate. You think Fdr had no foreknowledge, did
not know the first thing about that, well, that.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
About Pearl Harbord. No, he knew that the Japanese based
on intelligence that they were getting through the diplomatic they
booked the diplomatic code, and they knew how the diplomats
were talking about what they were doing, and they knew
something was going to happen. And what I could do
to you is give you three points on I think that.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Real quick one. Note on that real quick one. I
sort of thought that the scholarly consensus to the extent
of that matters about anything, was that lately, maybe the
last decade or two, that FDR did know that that
was going to happen. And I haven't sat around like
digging into this myself, but you might know more. But
(22:20):
would you agree with that that maybe FDR did know
and with the Charles Lindberger's and people running around not
wanting America to go to war for Europe again, you know,
and all that that he did need something to get
America in there, and the British were begging and begging
for it in Churchill and all the rest of it.
They were flailing.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
And well, he knew, he knew, and that people in
Washington knew that the Japanese is going to start something. Okay,
there's no doubt about that, because all the indications pointed
towards it. But Forrest Rulesevelt knowing that Pearl Harbor was
going to be attacked, no, no, after what I read
on the subject, absolutely thinking about the book if you
ever want to read about it, was written by Gordon Trying.
(23:00):
He was on MacArthur's historical staff and won in Japan
after the war. He was his chief historian and research
of subjects for three decades. He came out with a
book called at Donwich Slipt. Gordon Prang. If you want
to know about it, I'll tell you. The whole story.
I'll tell you was that there's two sentences. The Army
got a warning and the Navy got a warning. The
(23:21):
two first sentences the Army got where negotiations with Japan
appeared to be determinated to all practical purposes, with only
the barest possibilities the Japanese government might come back and
offer to continue Japanese future action unpredictable, but hostile action
possible at any moment. The Navy their warning said this
the first two sentences this dispatch is to be considered
(23:44):
a war warning. Negotiations with Japan, looking towards stabilization of
the conditions in the Pacific have seized an aggressive move
by Japan's expected within the next few days. Now, one
more point I want to make on that if there's
an action that's twenty two to three thousand years old,
if you're a military commander i an outpost, never never
(24:07):
let your command be caught by surprise. Those two commanders
let their command be caught by surprise after they were
given a war warning.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Well, yeah, tragic, awful. As a kid, I went out
there and toured the Pearl Harbor site, very memorable. The
boat's still there underwater, you know, uh Hawaii. But let's
remember that. Yeah, December seventh, this coming Sunday, Pearl Harbor Day. Warren,
(24:38):
thank you for bringing some information on that into the
program here. I very much appreciate it. Let's carry on,
Let's keep carrying on. Brad in Lakewood, Brad the man,
how you been, sir.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Good to hear from you. As a matter of fact,
a couple of years ago, when I was riding my
motorcycle by Lineman, I saw a young woman stop run
start road with the flat terror and I did stop
and help her and changed it. She offered me money,
but I did it for free.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
But any what a gentleman, Brad that is you? Yes,
A plus a plus.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
But anyway, more calling about Charles Grassley. Now he won't
remove the blue slips. As a result, Trump can't get
his nominees like Alena haba in in the Blue States.
And I think Charles Grassley is basically aiding and betting
the enemy. And first I think, why does everybody think
Charles Grassley. Is that good if he's doing things like that.
(25:31):
Another problem we have is the Speaker of the House,
Mike Johnson, who refuses to bring up HR ten forty
for a vote by Massey which would eliminate the tax
on Social Security. So it appears Trump's two main problems
are Charles Grassley and Mike Johnson.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Charles Chuck. You ever call him Chuck?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Chuck Grassley, I call him Charles.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You call him Charles.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Just annoy him.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You know, ninety plus year old senator from Iowa who's
been better than your average, but seems to me that
he doesn't quite have the tenacity that I wish he
had on these kinds of matters. And what you're pointing to,
Brad here is that unfortunately the Republicans in Congress tend
to just not be able to get anything productive done,
(26:18):
and even conservative media most all of it, just can't
quite do it. And it's part of the propaganda problem
that we face as conservatives that it's very hard to
decipher who's really trying to do something for the American
people and who isn't a lot of obfuscation, And I
just really wish, you know, the rhino term is I think, boy,
(26:39):
that is the most faithful term that if there wasn't
such a thing as a rhino, this country would be
a lot different place. It really would, and the Republican
Party would be really square with where the American people are.
The elections would be so lopsided in favor of the GOP.
But they make it hard, Brad, don't you think?
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Yeah? I agree.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
St. Charles Gresley only has I mean a shoes me
Steve's PLACEE only has a house work in one hundred
and fifteen days. And as often said, when the Democrats
control one third of Congress, they seem to have an
all prompt passing their agenda. When the Republicans control all
three branch of the government, all they do is make
excuses on why they can't do anything.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Well, you almost wonder could we pro rate their salaries
based on amount of days worked? What do you think, Brad?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Oh, that that'd be an excellent idea.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
So one fifteen out of three sixty five, that's a
little less than a third. So what if we looked
at their salary and said, okay, let's chop that two
thirds of that out. Wonder if that would go over well?
And two thirds off of the benefits and two thirds me.
You know, well they're working when they're not in there, right,
but that's what they'll tell you, But not getting a
(27:48):
whole lot done my opinion.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah, a couple couple other good bills that Johnson could
bring up for a voter by MTG to eliminate the
capital gains tax on the sale of homes. Andy Clare
Antifa a terrorist organization. So does why does Trump think
Mike Johnson is so good?
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Well, I don't think he does. But that's the guy
he has to work with. And that's where Trump meets
kind of political reality.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
He has to deal with Congress. He has to deal
with the senators, who are generally a pretty lackluster bunch.
I mean, the the GOP Senate is just a disaster.
And you and I have discussed this for years, Brad, unfortunately,
but that's just the way it is. He's got to
work with him. He's got to put on the best
face he can and uh, you know, come election time,
(28:38):
seems like this van epsk guy in Tennessee just won,
the guy Trump endorsed. So I think, uh, I think
things are looking up in that way, but I'd keep
going if I could, Brad h wonderful to hear your voice.
Keep up your grassroots activism and yes, gentlemanly demeanor, changing
the changing the tire out there on the side of
the road anyway to be continued. Hey, Matt Dunn setting
(29:01):
in for Dan Caplis. Be right back and now back

political hurly burly. Just go enjoy it. You know what
I mean. We're living this life. Great Texas Studio, a
bunch of them. Someone says yes to needing a spare tire. Yes,
(29:44):
I stopped to assist. Well done. Another one postal worker
changed the tire for my mom. In nineteen seventy six,
I was in first grade on the interstate of Memphis,
Tennessee in the winter Memphis, the Great Suns Studios, Oh Yeah,
how about some Elvis, some Jerrel Lee, some John A. Cash,
(30:05):
Carl Perkins, those guys. Here's a good one. Uh, Doctor
donn electric vehicles don't have spare tires. What guess you
better plan to be in cell phone range if you
don't have a spare tire, or you will be waiting
a long time. Alexa sends an observation, I did not
know this about EV's no spare tires.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
What well you figure they have met weighs like you know,
no room Ton tire big exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
So what happens you're flat tire? You're out there in
the middle of canyon lands, Utah, and you have no
cell phone cover. You just hang out for a couple
of days. I hope you have some water with you.
Here's one that it's mysterious. My mom bought me parallel
lines in nineteen seventy seven. I was in second grade.
I do not quite understand what that text means, but
(30:56):
I like it that I like it. Amen. I wanted
to play the audio for the Trump FIFA Peace Prize
here in a second. But guess what President Donald Trump
just had advanced imaging done by his White House physician,
doctor Sean P. Barbabella and guess what. It all comes
(31:19):
out good, excellent cardiovascular and abdominal health. His abdominal imaging
is perfectly normal. Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health summary.
The level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive
physical at President Trump's agent confirms that he remains in
(31:40):
excellent overall health. I like to hear that. I do. Indeed,
Milania Trump out reading books to children at the Children's
National Hospital, National Children's Hospital in Washington, DC today and
that's very good. And yes, it's good time. And you know,
the village people were out there at this five Peace
(32:03):
Prize event and Trump jumps up in dances. This is
YMCA dance. You know, hey, the dancing man and is
just fun. Hey, let's enjoy life being president and all that.
Let's hear it. Hey, this is the Peace Prize. Ladies
and gentlemen, let's hear let's hear the I'm introduced it.
This Italian guy who heads up FIFA.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
FIFA, the Federal Antnationional the Football Association, awards the twenty
twenty five FIFA Peace Prize Football Unites the World to
Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America,
in recognition of his exceptional and extraordinary actions to promote
peace and unity around the world. Friday, December fifth, twenty
(32:46):
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
This is a certificate, it's yours, Thank you very much.
This is truly one of the great honors of my life.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
And beyond the wards, John and I were discuss saying this,
we saved millions and millions of lives.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Wow. Well, so the FIFA Peace Prize. That was President
Gianni Infantino awarding the prize. Pretty good French accent from
that guy when he was doing the French thing, and
it has got to great a few people out there,
but they award this, this award to an individual who
achieved exceptional and extraordinary action to promote peace and unity
(33:27):
around the world. I rest my case. I can only
imagine how that is going over in some quarters when
you hear that, when you hear that, when some people
hear that about Donald Trump. But FIFA, that's a gigantic
organization with a gigantic fan base. So I'm just kind
of thinking, Nobel, what Nobel? Who we got the FIFA
(33:49):
Peace Prize? And for the folks that are skeptical, do
look into Trump's record, wade through the propaganda. And look
who is anti war, who wants to stop killing? Who
has been starting the wars? Who has been doing the killing?
Even Barack Obama. Yeah, you know, there we are running
around the Middle East. There we are in Libya under
Joe Biden. We have the Ukraine thing. Yeah, I mean,
(34:12):
go down the list. It seems like when the establishment's
in power, when the establishment runs the State Department, we
get more war, more death, more killing. Trump shows up
and you get less of it. And I just ask,
you know, could you consider breaking through the propaganda? And
uh uh I was going to talk to David in Denver,
David if you could save your thoughts for a near
(34:33):
term show. Thank you David for hanging on the lines
there a little bit. I think I got carried away
on some of the vignettes. But again, yeah, Matt don
I'm a Denver dentist, hang out, do a little talk
radio once in a while. Ryan, thank you for having
me on board. Love the chance to come in and
cackle a little. Be back soon

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
