Dan, Ryan, and listeners react to Victor Marx appearing live in-studio for the full first hour, in his first extensive media interview as candidate for governor in 2026.
Having lost the government shutdown battle, Democrats - like clockwork - attempt to shift the focus to another subject, the release of the Epstein Files, as a means to put President Trump on the defensive.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Dan Caplis 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. If the
merge Kennedy for Governor kind enough to spend the last
hour in studio with as, I'd encourage candidates to do that.
(00:21):
There's an open door policy, and it's always great to
have the opportunity to have that deep dive. So I
want to take some calls and text on that, your thoughts, reaction,
et cetera. Three oh three seven one three eight two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine. There's been a lot of buzz out
there about Victor and his campaign and his candidacy, and
(00:43):
so really feel fortunate that we're able to get into
some real depth there, most of it biographical. In this
first meeting. We touched on the issue some in the end.
But when you get a candidate like this from the outside,
who folks just aren't familiar with but are start and
you hear a lot about because the candidate comes to
the table with this this fascinating life story, and it's
(01:06):
a pretty significant support lined up already at that point.
I just want to make sure that that folks get
to know the person and let the person tell their story.
So that's what today was largely devoted to. But I
have no doubt that Victor will be good to his word,
and we'll have him back here off and dive into
the issue. So I'll get to the text which are
(01:26):
exploding you text us at DA N five seven seven
thirty nine Love Callers three oh three seven one three
eight two five five will start in wheat Ridge with Jay.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Welcome Jay, Hi Dan, Hey, I've got a little bur
under my battle and it's it's been everything I hear lately,
including in all the local stories. And you're a lawyer,
so this ought to kind of get a fire in
you a little bit. Do you know everything I hear
(01:57):
every news story about someone basic is that they had
a way of proving their innocent. They had a way
of proving their innocent. They were able to prove their innocence.
They had a camera, they had a dashtown, they were
able to prove their innocence. That's absolute the s. Why
do they have to prove their innocent when we are
presumed in accent until we are proving.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Jay interesting, appreciate the call on that it. You know,
it's great to see people fighting back against the lies.
And that's I think another lasting gift of Trump is
Trump was willing to stand up to a lot of
the liars, including those in the media. Now obviously he
(02:41):
is you know, more resources, powerful position, et cetera to
turn that around, but I think he is emboldening more
people to you know, stand up to the lies and
the liars, including those in the media, and do what
they need to do to set the record state. Appreciate that.
What do you want to take some calls and text
on the kind of conversation we had with Victor Marx.
(03:03):
We'll take it from the top. We'll just go right
down the list with our Texters and Dan. I was
expecting to roll my eyes after listening to Victor Marx.
After listening to him, I realized how wrong I was.
If he continues on, I will be willing to be
a part of his campaign from El Paso County. Dan,
this guy's a nutjob. Only taken away from candidates who
have a legitimate chance. Dan. The fact that they brought
(03:26):
their dog in speaks volumes. Yeah, brought Reagan the dog in.
And Victor was telling us that Reagan has gone on
some of these foreign rescue missions with them, and looking
at Reagan, Ryan, I could see Reagan doing that. Reagan
look like a serious dog. Got a great name too, obviously, Yeah, yeah,
And Victor had mentioned that he served in the Marines
(03:48):
while Reagan was president. Dan Victor is refreshing. I appreciate
his unique approach. He is spot on regarding the Republican
Party in Colorado. That from Alexa, Ryan and Dan. All
this guy needs is some tigers or ducks, and he's
got a winning TV show.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I think he's talking about or she is talking about
Tiger King or Duck Dynasty, one of the.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Other and watch hits. Never saw Tiger King, so a
little bit of Duck diynasaur I told you that.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
My backstory on that personally, right, No Tiger King. So
Joe exotic, he's kind of the main character. He's a
wild man. Carol Baskin was the other lady that well,
Jeff low is my second cousin.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That's awesome. Who's Jeff loow.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, he's the villain that rats Joe Exotic out to
the FBI, takes over his entire operation.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
There you go, good job.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And his grandma was my grandma's sister on my dad's side.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Small world. I know you'd rather have the hero in
the story. Yeah, there is a hero. There isn't.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I don't unless you consider Joe Exotic himself as like
a tragic hero. I know that that was probably all
villain otherwise in Tiger King.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Okay, wow, yeah, I'll have to go watch that. Dan,
Victor Mark still hasn't told you and us how he's
going to save Colorado. Also, what's he going to do
when the Democrats come after his last name? I think
get a lot of Democrat votes, right, I mean that's
the direction of the party. But no, Victor, nobody would
(05:21):
accuse him, certainly of that ideology. And you know again,
Victor and other candidates will be back in with us
and we'll deep dive those issues.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
The way they're describing the horrific attack is way over
dramatizing what happened. The case is public record. They are liars,
says a Texter, and Victor and Eileen were talking about Oh,
it sounds like horrific sex sexual assault of their daughter
and how they tried to fight through the system to
get justice there. And from what Victor told us, it
(05:56):
sounds to me as if you know that there was
actually some old time here and it was prosecuted as
a felony, and the way the system works in Colorado,
you're not going to get it prosecuted as a felony
and you're not going to get jail time unless there's
something really there. Certainly my knowledge of the system, anyway, Dan,
(06:16):
please ask Victor how we get yard signs and will
there be a place in love or Fort Collins where
we can get involved. I'd recommend that folks who are
interested in follow up go to the website, and I
bet you all those answers are there, Dan, I've heard
lots of good things about Victor from all of my
ranching friends, but no one knows where he stands on guns.
(06:37):
And I have a lot of issues I care about,
but I'm also a one issue voter and thank you
for that, and believe me, we will be. We will
be deep diving all of the issues, including two A.
I don't think there's any doubt where Victor would come
down on two a right, former marine, and he was
telling us about these missions that they continue to operate
rescue missions overseas.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
One would assume that he's pro to a. But I
was really impressed with his answer on life, Dan. He
left no equivocation. I have to believe that you would
be very satisfied with the answer that he gave, and
he was very clear about it.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, I mean, and I would certainly think from you know,
it sounds from Victor Nileen as if they've devoted a
lot of their life to ministering the youth, etc. And
Victor was describing this very very tortuous childhood that he had,
and I really liked the point he made about how
(07:31):
you know, his mom was in that situation where many
mothers would abort, and how as tough as his childhood
was that obviously he's very happy that he had this
shot at life. And I would guess Ryan that if
there was a way to go out and identify and
pull the children who've had the most difficult childhoods, and
(07:52):
the left tells you all they'd be better off dad,
better off if their mother had killed him, that probably
ninety nine point nine percent of them would say, I'm
really glad my mom did not kill me before I
was born. Dan, I'm Gabe from Loveland, reading Victor's book
Dangerous Gentlemen. My wife and I support Victor's campaign. Dan,
Victor's childhood is one hundred and eighty degrees different than
Polis and Bennett that from Alexa. Boy, there can be
(08:15):
no doubt about that. How did Colorado ever get to
the point. I mean, I don't care what party you're from,
this state, this western state, our DNA, our history. How
do we ever get to the point where we've got
as a governor and a senator and people who are
just so out of touch with the real life experience
(08:39):
of the vast majority of Colorado's remarkable, remarkable to me,
but hopefully we will see that change. This texture has
got to think we're total idiots here. So I hope
he calls the show so we can we can expose
him or her Dan. Nick Fuenta says, come a dynamic
(09:00):
leader on the right, especially for young men. Well via
Victor seek his endorsement to bring young men into the campaign.
Nick fuentis, oh, right, right, right, I mean they just
think we're idiots. That's evil. Some evil, evil stuff Nick
Fuentis is doing. And obviously he is not part of
the right. He is not a leader on the right.
(09:21):
He stands for the opposite of what conservative stand for.
He stands for the opposite of what all this tremendous
young energy on the right represents the opposite of what
Charlie Kirk and his movement and supporters represent. And I'm
certain he's the last person that victor anybody else would
want involved in their campaign. But I'm sure the Texter
(09:42):
knew that before they even wrote. Sorry not getting emotional.
It's peanut butter.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
You noticed I've dumped the yogurt and I'm bout to
paint bird. You were doing so well, Dan, Yeah, yeah, yogurt.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It made my eyes water. Has yogurt ever made your
eyes water? Are you allergic to dery? Not that I know?
Oh maybe that that's you know. I tried like the
first ten yogurts, I thought, now, this is just a coincidence.
Number eleven, I thought, no, it makes my ice water.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Not good. So I'm back to the peanut butter. Anyway,
I want to take calls and text on that. We
have a lot of other grounds. We want to cover
today you're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Are you Controno that the Senate may not pass this?
I mean, and maybe the Trump Department of Justice won't
even comply if the bill goes through, not if we
get a huge vote here in the House.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I mean, I believe we're going to get forty to
fifty Republicans voting with us on the release. And if
we get that kind of overwhelming vote, that's going to
push the Senate and it's going to push for a
release of the files.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
From the Justice. What a shock. Right after Trump once
again defeats and not by an inch, but by a mile,
that the Democrats and the shutdown. Okay, now they want
to relaunch on Epstein and you know what I say,
And it goes to this tape I just played, which
is you know this bid apparently allegedly forty to fifty
(11:09):
Republicans are going to sign on to this petition. These
are elected people in Congress, pardon me, are going to
sign on to this petition demanding release of the quote
unquote Epstein files. And I say, let's do it. Let's
do it, Okay, I think that Democrats fired their big
shot today and it's a total dot. I want to
(11:29):
get into that, but let's do it now. Of course,
when you talk about the quote Epstein files, what does
that really mean? Because you cannot you don't have the
option at this point. It would be fundamentally wrong to
be releasing information that would harm people who are completely innocent,
because in those files, you know you're going to have
(11:50):
and I use that term loosely files because I would
imagine they have a compilation of many different types and
categories of information. But you're going to have lots of
names in there of peopleeople who knew Epstein and they
were associated with Epstein and business, for example, but there's
no indication they ever did anything wrong or knew he
was doing anything wrong. So would you release all of
(12:12):
those names as well and do all of that harm
to those people? I'd love your thoughts on that three
O three seven one three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. I'm not
worried about President Trump on that, you know, I hate,
you know, anything that Trump's mentioned in release it, because
first of all, it's it's the right thing to do.
(12:33):
He's president in the United States. But you can be
certain that there is nothing in these Epstein files it
would implicate Trump in any kind of wrongdoing, or we
would have known it years ago, obviously, and Joe Biden,
who controlled these files for years, those would have been released.
But no, put it all out there as long as
(12:54):
you protect the innocent, and Donald Trump is innocent in
all of this, but anything referenced him, put it out
there as well, because he is president. And I'm very
confident that people would see in the end that Trump
did absolutely nothing wrong here. This shot that the Left
tried to take at Trump today on Epstein trying to
(13:15):
distract from the left's collapse on the shutdown, you know
it not only is not going to land well, I
think it's going to completely backfire on them because what
the left has done here is they've taken an email
that Epstein wrote that talked about Trump knew about the
(13:38):
girls something like that. First of all, doesn't go into
any kind of detail, But then the GOP confirmed that
the girl that they were talking about, that Epstein was
talking about in this email, that Trump allegedly knowing about,
was Virginia Guffrey. This victim who ended up taking her
own life, and she repeatedly over and over again in
(14:01):
her book and elsewhere, said that Trump didn't know anything
about any of this. Sad Trump had always been a
total gentleman. She had used to work at Mari Lago
and said Trump was very kind to her, was always
a perfect gentleman. So Guffrey herself had gone out of
her way to praise Trump and say he knew nothing
about any of this. And this all happened at the
(14:21):
same time, by the way, this email that Epstein was
getting this advice, you know from reputation managers, said Hey,
you have to go anti Trump, so you can try
to get some base of influencers here to help you.
So it's total garbage.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Who was portrayed in the blue dress and the painting
that Jeffrey Epstein owned?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Right, would that be Bill Clinton? So hold on here, Dan, Yeah,
the Democrats are so hot to trout. Maybe they're just
desperate to change the subject, turn the page, and move
the news cycle. But is this their calculus that they're
willing to whatever comes out on Trump, which you and
I agree, is not going to mount to hill of beans.
That's worth throwing Bill Clinton overboard? Because you know he's
going to be mentioned in there.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Is he useful to them anymore?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Probably not. Yeah, Hillary might be slightly, but maybe not.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah. And they're obviously so desperate they're just just throwing
these wild punches right now. So I said, bring it on. Yeah,
release it all, as long as you come up with
a way to protect the innocent. Release it all. And
is there any disagreement If somebody disagrees with my premise
and says no, you literally have to release it all.
And you know, those people who did nothing wrong and
(15:30):
didn't know about anything Epstein was doing, but may have
known him in business or whatever, Okay, well, you know,
let their lives get ruined over this. Yeah, at first,
I think that would be a moral While it may
technically be legal, it would certainly be against the spirit
of the law, but the rest of it, Yeah, get
it out there, Get it out there, Dan, What would
(15:53):
you say if you're wrong? It's obvious Trump's DOJ broker
the deal for Galane, It's clearly as a connection and
spoke with Epstein years after he's lying. The question is
how much, Well, Texter, back it up or pack it up?
You say this is clear. That's clear. Bring the evidence.
I understand the perception, and it's probably true that it's
(16:16):
Trump's DOJ who arranged to get Glaine Maxwell into this
more comfortable prison in Texas. I'm not doubting that. I
don't know if it's true, but I'm not doubting it.
My guess is that they were probably first. She sat
down and provided interviews over the course of a couple
of days, and they may well have obtained some very
(16:38):
useful information from that. The other reality is given the
starting point, which is, there is every reason to believe
that Trump did absolutely nothing wrong when it comes to Epstein,
and that Trump did not know about these crimes Epstein
was committing. And again, obviously if he had done anything wrong,
(16:59):
we would have known about it a long time ago.
But given that starting point, would Trump still have motivation
to want to stay on Maxwell's good side? Sure he would,
because she would be in a position to tell lies
about him that could be very damaging. So I don't
think there's any concern on the part of Trump that
(17:19):
she might reveal something true that would hurt him. But
there's probably a lot of concern that she could tell
lies that would hurt him. So my guess is that
that's probably what's behind this more comfortable treatment she's getting
at this prison in Texas. Three or three seven, two
five five the number text d An five seven seven
(17:40):
through nine. Bill O'Reilly. I had the pleasure of being
on his show many times, and he's now come up
with I think a tremendous idea tell President Trump run
it by you on the other side, see what you think.
You're on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Ryan the rip boring bumper music from you? I mean
over the year second found on one hand, boring.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
One with bumpers.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Boy, what's the poem? Ready to Go? There's no message?
Are you ready to go?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
That's the name of the song.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Republicay got to words eventually.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, it was a little guitar there making me think pensive.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, it's rock Dan, Yeah, that's what we want pensive
around here. You know, if you're new to the show,
Ryan is a literal genius when it comes to sending
messages through bumper music, and he has this limitless source
of of wisdom that he's able to just tap no
matter what the topic is that last one the rare
(18:45):
miss three or three. You're just not right on that
one though, Dan, No, no, clearly not theme. And you
will find a song to make that. Victor Marx ready
to go? That's the question, ready to go? Victor Marx.
Last segment ended at four fifty eight, and you're playing
So you're playing that song at five thirty seven. I
(19:07):
think people need to think about it. Yeah, And by
the way, spend a full hour with Victor Marx, candidate
for governor in Colorado in studio in the four o'clock hour.
You can pick it off the podcast and we hope
to have him back sometime soon, and just deep dive
the issues three oh three seven, one, three eight, two
five five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
(19:30):
A lot to cover in this last twenty minutes or so.
So I want to start with some sound from Bill
O'Reilly and I think O'Reilly nails it here. It's fascinating me.
I And there are probably lots of people now who
don't remember when Bill O'Reilly was a major force on television.
The O'Reilly factor was the kind of TV that was
(19:51):
shaping events, and during those years they had the privilege
of being a guest many many, many times. And a
funny thing is it was Jesse Waters who would do
the booking. Jesse, I don't know if he was an
intern there at the time or whatever, but he would
schedule for Bill O'Reilly. He had not been on air
other than an occasional man on the Street segment and
just always enjoyed those talks of Jesse. Never imagined he
(20:12):
would become the star, and I think he'll eventually surpassed Bill.
But anyway, Bill O'Reilly, I think has an excellent suggestion
here for President Trump.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
The problem is, and this is simple from a simple man,
that some staples of life are far too expensive. Food, insurance,
How do you want to ensure your house, or your
car or your health. It is way out of line now,
(20:43):
way out of line. And those are the things that
drain the family treasury. And people are getting angrier and
angry or angrier because they don't know why it's going
up so much and so fast. So what President Trump
should do is to appoint a cost of living czar,
(21:06):
somebody who we go out a couple of times a
week and say these are the problems, here's what we're
trying to do to solve that.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
See, I think that's an absolutely brilliant idea. And at
President Trump again, I think has been historically great in
so many ways as president. Doesn't mean he's perfect, and
I think he has made a couple of mistakes in
this term, as anybody would, but that doesn't mean you
don't want to fix them. And I think one of
those mistakes is launching the Lawfair. And I get He's
(21:36):
only human. And if I was subjected to the kind
of evil that he was subjected to, your political opponents
trying to destroy your family, trying to bankrupt you, trying
to force you to die behind bars for crimes you
didn't commit because they know they can't beat you at
the polls. Yeah, I understand, He's only human. So it
may just be that this lawfair thing that he's doing
(21:59):
is just some thing he just has to do. But
make no mistake about it. It's not good for his presidency.
It's not why Americans elected him. And his approval you
can be sure in America, is higher than the polls
reflect because the polls are always unfair to him, always
underestimate his support. But the reality is he'd be better
(22:20):
off without pursuing this lawfair And I think part of
what gets lost when he does this is he has
done really important things to get inflation under control, but
it the messaging on that hasn't been a focus. But
this very real, this very real problem. So many things
(22:41):
are too expensive, and so many of us don't understand why,
and we just want to know somebody's working on it
every day. I love the idea of a czar, somebody
appointed just to address that, but more importantly, who's reporting
to the American people all the time. Okay, here's why
it is this way? Why is insurance so expensive? Ryne?
(23:02):
We just got this cabin that I often broadcast from
up in the mountains, especially when I'm prepping for Troal.
How much do you think? How much do you think
our homeowner's insurance went up on that cabin just out
of the blue, just absolutely out of the blue, No
idea thirty more than one hundred percent? What yeah, more
(23:23):
than one hundred percent. And you're having people all of
the to a number that it just wouldn't make any
sense to keep owning the place. And so so we're
shopping around now that kind of stuff. But you have
people being hammered all over Colorado. Now on homeowners insurance,
auto insurance, Now there are some explanations from why auto
insurance is hiring Colorado. Yeah, if you're going to go
(23:45):
out and decide you're going to legalize drugs, legalize really
dangerous drugs, things like that, yeah, that state should expect
to pay higher auto insurance rates. And there are other
drivers of that. But just get somebody out there who
is the point woman on that. Somebody out there who's
explaining the American people, Okay, this is why this stuff
(24:06):
is so high. Not justifying it, but just starting with
the explanation, this is why it's so high. This is
what we're doing about it. That would go a very,
very long way because it goes back to the point
the old saying, people don't care what you know until
they know that you care. And I think one of
the big reasons Trump is won twice is an awful
(24:29):
lot of people believe, as I do, that he does
truly care. I think he cares more about working people
in America than any other president in my lifetime. And
there have been some who really do care, but I
think he cares more than any other president in our lifetime.
But this would be a way to make that real
and to show that. So I love O'Reilly's idea on that.
(24:52):
Keep that focus on it every day and show people
every day what you're doing to try to help on
that front. And that's the point where I'm sure the
administration is concerned. You know what, if we did that,
then at that point, it just calls more attention to
high prices, and it hurts us. If that's their attitude,
I think it's a big mistake because I think the
(25:13):
reality is that that if Americans, then I would say
across party lines, obviously there's some hardcore Democrats. You know,
Trump could cure cancer tomorrow and they'd want to impeach
him for not doing it sooner. But the reality is
for most Americans, you know, if you just show them
you really care about it and you're doing everything possible,
(25:35):
you're going to end up a big winner on that
because they'll know. People know people are smart, whether they've
had one day of education or forty years of education,
vast majority of people are really smart, and they know
that there are some problems that just can't be fixed completely,
and they just want to know if somebody cares about it.
(25:55):
They're focused on it and they're doing everything they can
to fix it. So yeah, I think that's a really
smart idea by Bill O'Reilly. Now, an idea that that's
of the same genre as they would say, is who
are they? By the way, is something I've been pushing
for years on the Colorado top and I hope it
(26:16):
starts sometime soon. And it's not going to pay these
instant gratification dividends in the next election, but it'll be
the right thing to do and it'll pay off five
ten years down the road. And that is you know, hey,
toop in Colorado. Start opening offices in all the communities
of color also open offices in the poorest areas you
(26:40):
can find. The poorest areas you can find, so open
offices and community of Color open offices in the poorest
areas you can find out there, and just serve, just serve. Yeah,
I mean, you can let them know your Republicans and
this and that you would want to, but just be
there to help people in every way. You could navigate
(27:01):
government bureaucracies, you know, find available benefits just like that,
and just show people that you really do care and
that you're there to help. I mean, it's it's things
like that that I think really matter. You know why,
because it goes beyond talk. Nobody cares about talk anymore
short of the Good Lord himself coming down and saying something.
(27:26):
I think words at this point are fairly meaningless, you know,
they just they just kind of go out the window.
So action, just take that kind of action. You're on
the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Glad you're here. We'll get to the phone lines tectors
in four Texters in fuego, Dan, aren't you the king
of lawfair? I am the king of nothing. There's only
been one king. But that the Texter's point is that
earlier I said it's a mistake by President Trump to
be pursuing the lawfair that his administration is pursuing right now.
(28:03):
And while I think he's been historically great in so
many ways, Americans did not elect him to do that.
One of the reasons he was elected is Americans hate
it and they hate that the Democrats were doing it
to him. So I think that is a big mistake.
But in terms of using the law, yeah, righteous cases,
that's what I do. That's what we do. And I'll
(28:26):
tell you this. These prosecutions right now, and I understand
there prosecutions of some people who have done really evil things.
James Comey has done some really evil things that are
horrible for this nation. And this New York Attorney General,
(28:47):
Letitia James, she has done some really evil things to
Donald Trump. So in no way, shape or form am
I suggesting that that's some great unfairness is being done
to them. But what I'm saying is this, these are
not righteous prosecutions against James Comey or Letitia James. They're
(29:10):
not even if you can prove these violations of the law,
they're not righteous prosecutions because the origin is political motive.
And as I said, when President Trump was being victimized
so horribly by people abusing the legal process, that the
starting point was because their motive was to prosecute Trump
(29:36):
for political reasons. Those prosecutions were wrong from the job,
no matter what the underlying facts were. When the motive
for bringing charges is political because that person's a political opponent,
that prosecution is poisoned. It's wrong, it's wrong morally. And
so then that's the starting point in my mind for
(30:00):
both the Komy and Leticia James cases both have done
evil things. Comy and Letitia James. Donald Trump was horribly
victimized by both of them. But I don't care who
the president is. We shouldn't be bringing charges that are
politically motivated. And I understand some good people are going
(30:20):
to disagree with me on that. I respect that and
I'm happy to take those calls in those texts. But
it's a sacred thing in this country and it's part
of the foundation of our nation that we don't abuse
our justice system for political reasons. We don't bring politically
motivated prosecutions, and the fact that Donald Trump was horrifically
(30:41):
victimized by politically motivated prosecutions does not justify the Trump
administration bringing politically motivated prosecutions in my humble opinion, Heather
in Westminster, you're on the Dan Kaplas Show. Welcome.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Thanks Dan. I would like to respectfully disagree you and
Bill o'reiley on another ZAR, especially for things involving the
economy and where we the people need help. I personally
(31:18):
agree with Ronald Reagan on this one. The worst most
terrifying words in the English language are I am from
the government and.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I'm here to help, and so I'm sure what you're
rightfully concerned about are very destructive and non American things
like wage and price controls, things like that. And I'm
with you, Heather. I would never in a million years
support anything like that.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
But I don't believe that a bureaucratic system is designed
or should be designed to figure out what the people need.
I think we are a large population over diverse landscape,
and I think it's best when we the people, figure
(32:06):
out what we need and motivate ourselves to fix some problems.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
But what would be wrong with the Trump administration providing
information and doing what's appropriate within the scope of limited
government to bring prices down? Now? Starting with the information,
So Heather's out here in Westminster and you're probably facing
all the challenges that all of us are when it
comes to certain expenses. What would be wrong with the
(32:34):
administration having that? Tsara? Who would then explain, Okay, this
is why insurance rates are so high. You know that,
this is why homeowners insurance is so high, this is
why medical costs are so high. You know, here's what
can be done. You know we're within you know, the
proper framework to address that. What would be wrong with that?
What would be wrong with the administration helping to get
(32:56):
information out there about where you can get these life
essentials for less money. Sure?
Speaker 7 (33:04):
May I ask you a question in return? When has
government ever set out to study a problem and not
found a way to profit here off of it, or
someone corrupt in the system found a way to profit here.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Well, it's a fair question, Heather, But there's never been
any single human endeavor other than Jesus Christ work on
this earth that wasn't corrupted by somebody. Right, So we
could say the same thing of all of the great
endeavors in human history. You know, all of the heroic
(33:43):
people who rose up to end slavery. Within that movement,
you had a very small handful, I'm sure of people
any any great movement, any human endeavor of any kind
in America. What's that.
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Those people were not getting paid to do what they
were doing. They were doing it out.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Of conviction, I Heather, I do apologize. The music means
we're at the end of the show, but you're welcome
to call back at the beginning. No very grateful to
have you. You're welcome call back at the beginning of
tomorrow show. Ryan tremendous job. Appreciate all your great work today,
as always, please join us tomorrow four h six on
The Dan Captus Show
This is Dan Caplis 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. If the
merge Kennedy for Governor kind enough to spend the last
hour in studio with as, I'd encourage candidates to do that.
(00:21):
There's an open door policy, and it's always great to
have the opportunity to have that deep dive. So I
want to take some calls and text on that, your thoughts, reaction,
et cetera. Three oh three seven one three eight two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine. There's been a lot of buzz out
there about Victor and his campaign and his candidacy, and
(00:43):
so really feel fortunate that we're able to get into
some real depth there, most of it biographical. In this
first meeting. We touched on the issue some in the end.
But when you get a candidate like this from the outside,
who folks just aren't familiar with but are start and
you hear a lot about because the candidate comes to
the table with this this fascinating life story, and it's
(01:06):
a pretty significant support lined up already at that point.
I just want to make sure that that folks get
to know the person and let the person tell their story.
So that's what today was largely devoted to. But I
have no doubt that Victor will be good to his word,
and we'll have him back here off and dive into
the issue. So I'll get to the text which are
(01:26):
exploding you text us at DA N five seven seven
thirty nine Love Callers three oh three seven one three
eight two five five will start in wheat Ridge with Jay.
You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Welcome Jay, Hi Dan, Hey, I've got a little bur
under my battle and it's it's been everything I hear lately,
including in all the local stories. And you're a lawyer,
so this ought to kind of get a fire in
you a little bit. Do you know everything I hear
(01:57):
every news story about someone basic is that they had
a way of proving their innocent. They had a way
of proving their innocent. They were able to prove their innocence.
They had a camera, they had a dashtown, they were
able to prove their innocence. That's absolute the s. Why
do they have to prove their innocent when we are
presumed in accent until we are proving.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Jay interesting, appreciate the call on that it. You know,
it's great to see people fighting back against the lies.
And that's I think another lasting gift of Trump is
Trump was willing to stand up to a lot of
the liars, including those in the media. Now obviously he
(02:41):
is you know, more resources, powerful position, et cetera to
turn that around, but I think he is emboldening more
people to you know, stand up to the lies and
the liars, including those in the media, and do what
they need to do to set the record state. Appreciate that.
What do you want to take some calls and text
on the kind of conversation we had with Victor Marx.
(03:03):
We'll take it from the top. We'll just go right
down the list with our Texters and Dan. I was
expecting to roll my eyes after listening to Victor Marx.
After listening to him, I realized how wrong I was.
If he continues on, I will be willing to be
a part of his campaign from El Paso County. Dan,
this guy's a nutjob. Only taken away from candidates who
have a legitimate chance. Dan. The fact that they brought
(03:26):
their dog in speaks volumes. Yeah, brought Reagan the dog in.
And Victor was telling us that Reagan has gone on
some of these foreign rescue missions with them, and looking
at Reagan, Ryan, I could see Reagan doing that. Reagan
look like a serious dog. Got a great name too, obviously, Yeah, yeah,
And Victor had mentioned that he served in the Marines
(03:48):
while Reagan was president. Dan Victor is refreshing. I appreciate
his unique approach. He is spot on regarding the Republican
Party in Colorado. That from Alexa, Ryan and Dan. All
this guy needs is some tigers or ducks, and he's
got a winning TV show.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I think he's talking about or she is talking about
Tiger King or Duck Dynasty, one of the.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Other and watch hits. Never saw Tiger King, so a
little bit of Duck diynasaur I told you that.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
My backstory on that personally, right, No Tiger King. So
Joe exotic, he's kind of the main character. He's a
wild man. Carol Baskin was the other lady that well,
Jeff low is my second cousin.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That's awesome. Who's Jeff loow.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, he's the villain that rats Joe Exotic out to
the FBI, takes over his entire operation.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
There you go, good job.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And his grandma was my grandma's sister on my dad's side.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Small world. I know you'd rather have the hero in
the story. Yeah, there is a hero. There isn't.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I don't unless you consider Joe Exotic himself as like
a tragic hero. I know that that was probably all
villain otherwise in Tiger King.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Okay, wow, yeah, I'll have to go watch that. Dan,
Victor Mark still hasn't told you and us how he's
going to save Colorado. Also, what's he going to do
when the Democrats come after his last name? I think
get a lot of Democrat votes, right, I mean that's
the direction of the party. But no, Victor, nobody would
(05:21):
accuse him, certainly of that ideology. And you know again,
Victor and other candidates will be back in with us
and we'll deep dive those issues.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
The way they're describing the horrific attack is way over
dramatizing what happened. The case is public record. They are liars,
says a Texter, and Victor and Eileen were talking about Oh,
it sounds like horrific sex sexual assault of their daughter
and how they tried to fight through the system to
get justice there. And from what Victor told us, it
(05:56):
sounds to me as if you know that there was
actually some old time here and it was prosecuted as
a felony, and the way the system works in Colorado,
you're not going to get it prosecuted as a felony
and you're not going to get jail time unless there's
something really there. Certainly my knowledge of the system, anyway, Dan,
(06:16):
please ask Victor how we get yard signs and will
there be a place in love or Fort Collins where
we can get involved. I'd recommend that folks who are
interested in follow up go to the website, and I
bet you all those answers are there, Dan, I've heard
lots of good things about Victor from all of my
ranching friends, but no one knows where he stands on guns.
(06:37):
And I have a lot of issues I care about,
but I'm also a one issue voter and thank you
for that, and believe me, we will be. We will
be deep diving all of the issues, including two A.
I don't think there's any doubt where Victor would come
down on two a right, former marine, and he was
telling us about these missions that they continue to operate
rescue missions overseas.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
One would assume that he's pro to a. But I
was really impressed with his answer on life, Dan. He
left no equivocation. I have to believe that you would
be very satisfied with the answer that he gave, and
he was very clear about it.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, I mean, and I would certainly think from you know,
it sounds from Victor Nileen as if they've devoted a
lot of their life to ministering the youth, etc. And
Victor was describing this very very tortuous childhood that he had,
and I really liked the point he made about how
(07:31):
you know, his mom was in that situation where many
mothers would abort, and how as tough as his childhood
was that obviously he's very happy that he had this
shot at life. And I would guess Ryan that if
there was a way to go out and identify and
pull the children who've had the most difficult childhoods, and
(07:52):
the left tells you all they'd be better off dad,
better off if their mother had killed him, that probably
ninety nine point nine percent of them would say, I'm
really glad my mom did not kill me before I
was born. Dan, I'm Gabe from Loveland, reading Victor's book
Dangerous Gentlemen. My wife and I support Victor's campaign. Dan,
Victor's childhood is one hundred and eighty degrees different than
Polis and Bennett that from Alexa. Boy, there can be
(08:15):
no doubt about that. How did Colorado ever get to
the point. I mean, I don't care what party you're from,
this state, this western state, our DNA, our history. How
do we ever get to the point where we've got
as a governor and a senator and people who are
just so out of touch with the real life experience
(08:39):
of the vast majority of Colorado's remarkable, remarkable to me,
but hopefully we will see that change. This texture has
got to think we're total idiots here. So I hope
he calls the show so we can we can expose
him or her Dan. Nick Fuenta says, come a dynamic
(09:00):
leader on the right, especially for young men. Well via
Victor seek his endorsement to bring young men into the campaign.
Nick fuentis, oh, right, right, right, I mean they just
think we're idiots. That's evil. Some evil, evil stuff Nick
Fuentis is doing. And obviously he is not part of
the right. He is not a leader on the right.
(09:21):
He stands for the opposite of what conservative stand for.
He stands for the opposite of what all this tremendous
young energy on the right represents the opposite of what
Charlie Kirk and his movement and supporters represent. And I'm
certain he's the last person that victor anybody else would
want involved in their campaign. But I'm sure the Texter
(09:42):
knew that before they even wrote. Sorry not getting emotional.
It's peanut butter.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
You noticed I've dumped the yogurt and I'm bout to
paint bird. You were doing so well, Dan, Yeah, yeah, yogurt.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It made my eyes water. Has yogurt ever made your
eyes water? Are you allergic to dery? Not that I know?
Oh maybe that that's you know. I tried like the
first ten yogurts, I thought, now, this is just a coincidence.
Number eleven, I thought, no, it makes my ice water.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Not good. So I'm back to the peanut butter. Anyway,
I want to take calls and text on that. We
have a lot of other grounds. We want to cover
today you're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Are you Controno that the Senate may not pass this?
I mean, and maybe the Trump Department of Justice won't
even comply if the bill goes through, not if we
get a huge vote here in the House.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I mean, I believe we're going to get forty to
fifty Republicans voting with us on the release. And if
we get that kind of overwhelming vote, that's going to
push the Senate and it's going to push for a
release of the files.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
From the Justice. What a shock. Right after Trump once
again defeats and not by an inch, but by a mile,
that the Democrats and the shutdown. Okay, now they want
to relaunch on Epstein and you know what I say,
And it goes to this tape I just played, which
is you know this bid apparently allegedly forty to fifty
(11:09):
Republicans are going to sign on to this petition. These
are elected people in Congress, pardon me, are going to
sign on to this petition demanding release of the quote
unquote Epstein files. And I say, let's do it. Let's
do it, Okay, I think that Democrats fired their big
shot today and it's a total dot. I want to
(11:29):
get into that, but let's do it now. Of course,
when you talk about the quote Epstein files, what does
that really mean? Because you cannot you don't have the
option at this point. It would be fundamentally wrong to
be releasing information that would harm people who are completely innocent,
because in those files, you know you're going to have
(11:50):
and I use that term loosely files because I would
imagine they have a compilation of many different types and
categories of information. But you're going to have lots of
names in there of peopleeople who knew Epstein and they
were associated with Epstein and business, for example, but there's
no indication they ever did anything wrong or knew he
was doing anything wrong. So would you release all of
(12:12):
those names as well and do all of that harm
to those people? I'd love your thoughts on that three
O three seven one three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. I'm not
worried about President Trump on that, you know, I hate,
you know, anything that Trump's mentioned in release it, because
first of all, it's it's the right thing to do.
(12:33):
He's president in the United States. But you can be
certain that there is nothing in these Epstein files it
would implicate Trump in any kind of wrongdoing, or we
would have known it years ago, obviously, and Joe Biden,
who controlled these files for years, those would have been released.
But no, put it all out there as long as
(12:54):
you protect the innocent, and Donald Trump is innocent in
all of this, but anything referenced him, put it out
there as well, because he is president. And I'm very
confident that people would see in the end that Trump
did absolutely nothing wrong here. This shot that the Left
tried to take at Trump today on Epstein trying to
(13:15):
distract from the left's collapse on the shutdown, you know
it not only is not going to land well, I
think it's going to completely backfire on them because what
the left has done here is they've taken an email
that Epstein wrote that talked about Trump knew about the
(13:38):
girls something like that. First of all, doesn't go into
any kind of detail, But then the GOP confirmed that
the girl that they were talking about, that Epstein was
talking about in this email, that Trump allegedly knowing about,
was Virginia Guffrey. This victim who ended up taking her
own life, and she repeatedly over and over again in
(14:01):
her book and elsewhere, said that Trump didn't know anything
about any of this. Sad Trump had always been a
total gentleman. She had used to work at Mari Lago
and said Trump was very kind to her, was always
a perfect gentleman. So Guffrey herself had gone out of
her way to praise Trump and say he knew nothing
about any of this. And this all happened at the
(14:21):
same time, by the way, this email that Epstein was
getting this advice, you know from reputation managers, said Hey,
you have to go anti Trump, so you can try
to get some base of influencers here to help you.
So it's total garbage.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Who was portrayed in the blue dress and the painting
that Jeffrey Epstein owned?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Right, would that be Bill Clinton? So hold on here, Dan, Yeah,
the Democrats are so hot to trout. Maybe they're just
desperate to change the subject, turn the page, and move
the news cycle. But is this their calculus that they're
willing to whatever comes out on Trump, which you and
I agree, is not going to mount to hill of beans.
That's worth throwing Bill Clinton overboard? Because you know he's
going to be mentioned in there.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Is he useful to them anymore?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Probably not. Yeah, Hillary might be slightly, but maybe not.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah. And they're obviously so desperate they're just just throwing
these wild punches right now. So I said, bring it on. Yeah,
release it all, as long as you come up with
a way to protect the innocent. Release it all. And
is there any disagreement If somebody disagrees with my premise
and says no, you literally have to release it all.
And you know, those people who did nothing wrong and
(15:30):
didn't know about anything Epstein was doing, but may have
known him in business or whatever, Okay, well, you know,
let their lives get ruined over this. Yeah, at first,
I think that would be a moral While it may
technically be legal, it would certainly be against the spirit
of the law, but the rest of it, Yeah, get
it out there, Get it out there, Dan, What would
(15:53):
you say if you're wrong? It's obvious Trump's DOJ broker
the deal for Galane, It's clearly as a connection and
spoke with Epstein years after he's lying. The question is
how much, Well, Texter, back it up or pack it up?
You say this is clear. That's clear. Bring the evidence.
I understand the perception, and it's probably true that it's
(16:16):
Trump's DOJ who arranged to get Glaine Maxwell into this
more comfortable prison in Texas. I'm not doubting that. I
don't know if it's true, but I'm not doubting it.
My guess is that they were probably first. She sat
down and provided interviews over the course of a couple
of days, and they may well have obtained some very
(16:38):
useful information from that. The other reality is given the
starting point, which is, there is every reason to believe
that Trump did absolutely nothing wrong when it comes to Epstein,
and that Trump did not know about these crimes Epstein
was committing. And again, obviously if he had done anything wrong,
(16:59):
we would have known about it a long time ago.
But given that starting point, would Trump still have motivation
to want to stay on Maxwell's good side? Sure he would,
because she would be in a position to tell lies
about him that could be very damaging. So I don't
think there's any concern on the part of Trump that
(17:19):
she might reveal something true that would hurt him. But
there's probably a lot of concern that she could tell
lies that would hurt him. So my guess is that
that's probably what's behind this more comfortable treatment she's getting
at this prison in Texas. Three or three seven, two
five five the number text d An five seven seven
(17:40):
through nine. Bill O'Reilly. I had the pleasure of being
on his show many times, and he's now come up
with I think a tremendous idea tell President Trump run
it by you on the other side, see what you think.
You're on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Ryan the rip boring bumper music from you? I mean
over the year second found on one hand, boring.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
One with bumpers.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Boy, what's the poem? Ready to Go? There's no message?
Are you ready to go?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
That's the name of the song.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Republicay got to words eventually.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, it was a little guitar there making me think pensive.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, it's rock Dan, Yeah, that's what we want pensive
around here. You know, if you're new to the show,
Ryan is a literal genius when it comes to sending
messages through bumper music, and he has this limitless source
of of wisdom that he's able to just tap no
matter what the topic is that last one the rare
(18:45):
miss three or three. You're just not right on that
one though, Dan, No, no, clearly not theme. And you
will find a song to make that. Victor Marx ready
to go? That's the question, ready to go? Victor Marx.
Last segment ended at four fifty eight, and you're playing
So you're playing that song at five thirty seven. I
(19:07):
think people need to think about it. Yeah, And by
the way, spend a full hour with Victor Marx, candidate
for governor in Colorado in studio in the four o'clock hour.
You can pick it off the podcast and we hope
to have him back sometime soon, and just deep dive
the issues three oh three seven, one, three eight, two
five five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
(19:30):
A lot to cover in this last twenty minutes or so.
So I want to start with some sound from Bill
O'Reilly and I think O'Reilly nails it here. It's fascinating me.
I And there are probably lots of people now who
don't remember when Bill O'Reilly was a major force on television.
The O'Reilly factor was the kind of TV that was
(19:51):
shaping events, and during those years they had the privilege
of being a guest many many, many times. And a
funny thing is it was Jesse Waters who would do
the booking. Jesse, I don't know if he was an
intern there at the time or whatever, but he would
schedule for Bill O'Reilly. He had not been on air
other than an occasional man on the Street segment and
just always enjoyed those talks of Jesse. Never imagined he
(20:12):
would become the star, and I think he'll eventually surpassed Bill.
But anyway, Bill O'Reilly, I think has an excellent suggestion
here for President Trump.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
The problem is, and this is simple from a simple man,
that some staples of life are far too expensive. Food, insurance,
How do you want to ensure your house, or your
car or your health. It is way out of line now,
(20:43):
way out of line. And those are the things that
drain the family treasury. And people are getting angrier and
angry or angrier because they don't know why it's going
up so much and so fast. So what President Trump
should do is to appoint a cost of living czar,
(21:06):
somebody who we go out a couple of times a
week and say these are the problems, here's what we're
trying to do to solve that.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
See, I think that's an absolutely brilliant idea. And at
President Trump again, I think has been historically great in
so many ways as president. Doesn't mean he's perfect, and
I think he has made a couple of mistakes in
this term, as anybody would, but that doesn't mean you
don't want to fix them. And I think one of
those mistakes is launching the Lawfair. And I get He's
(21:36):
only human. And if I was subjected to the kind
of evil that he was subjected to, your political opponents
trying to destroy your family, trying to bankrupt you, trying
to force you to die behind bars for crimes you
didn't commit because they know they can't beat you at
the polls. Yeah, I understand, He's only human. So it
may just be that this lawfair thing that he's doing
(21:59):
is just some thing he just has to do. But
make no mistake about it. It's not good for his presidency.
It's not why Americans elected him. And his approval you
can be sure in America, is higher than the polls
reflect because the polls are always unfair to him, always
underestimate his support. But the reality is he'd be better
(22:20):
off without pursuing this lawfair And I think part of
what gets lost when he does this is he has
done really important things to get inflation under control, but
it the messaging on that hasn't been a focus. But
this very real, this very real problem. So many things
(22:41):
are too expensive, and so many of us don't understand why,
and we just want to know somebody's working on it
every day. I love the idea of a czar, somebody
appointed just to address that, but more importantly, who's reporting
to the American people all the time. Okay, here's why
it is this way? Why is insurance so expensive? Ryne?
(23:02):
We just got this cabin that I often broadcast from
up in the mountains, especially when I'm prepping for Troal.
How much do you think? How much do you think
our homeowner's insurance went up on that cabin just out
of the blue, just absolutely out of the blue, No
idea thirty more than one hundred percent? What yeah, more
(23:23):
than one hundred percent. And you're having people all of
the to a number that it just wouldn't make any
sense to keep owning the place. And so so we're
shopping around now that kind of stuff. But you have
people being hammered all over Colorado. Now on homeowners insurance,
auto insurance, Now there are some explanations from why auto
insurance is hiring Colorado. Yeah, if you're going to go
(23:45):
out and decide you're going to legalize drugs, legalize really
dangerous drugs, things like that, yeah, that state should expect
to pay higher auto insurance rates. And there are other
drivers of that. But just get somebody out there who
is the point woman on that. Somebody out there who's
explaining the American people, Okay, this is why this stuff
(24:06):
is so high. Not justifying it, but just starting with
the explanation, this is why it's so high. This is
what we're doing about it. That would go a very,
very long way because it goes back to the point
the old saying, people don't care what you know until
they know that you care. And I think one of
the big reasons Trump is won twice is an awful
(24:29):
lot of people believe, as I do, that he does
truly care. I think he cares more about working people
in America than any other president in my lifetime. And
there have been some who really do care, but I
think he cares more than any other president in our lifetime.
But this would be a way to make that real
and to show that. So I love O'Reilly's idea on that.
(24:52):
Keep that focus on it every day and show people
every day what you're doing to try to help on
that front. And that's the point where I'm sure the
administration is concerned. You know what, if we did that,
then at that point, it just calls more attention to
high prices, and it hurts us. If that's their attitude,
I think it's a big mistake because I think the
(25:13):
reality is that that if Americans, then I would say
across party lines, obviously there's some hardcore Democrats. You know,
Trump could cure cancer tomorrow and they'd want to impeach
him for not doing it sooner. But the reality is
for most Americans, you know, if you just show them
you really care about it and you're doing everything possible,
(25:35):
you're going to end up a big winner on that
because they'll know. People know people are smart, whether they've
had one day of education or forty years of education,
vast majority of people are really smart, and they know
that there are some problems that just can't be fixed completely,
and they just want to know if somebody cares about it.
(25:55):
They're focused on it and they're doing everything they can
to fix it. So yeah, I think that's a really
smart idea by Bill O'Reilly. Now, an idea that that's
of the same genre as they would say, is who
are they? By the way, is something I've been pushing
for years on the Colorado top and I hope it
(26:16):
starts sometime soon. And it's not going to pay these
instant gratification dividends in the next election, but it'll be
the right thing to do and it'll pay off five
ten years down the road. And that is you know, hey,
toop in Colorado. Start opening offices in all the communities
of color also open offices in the poorest areas you
(26:40):
can find. The poorest areas you can find, so open
offices and community of Color open offices in the poorest
areas you can find out there, and just serve, just serve. Yeah,
I mean, you can let them know your Republicans and
this and that you would want to, but just be
there to help people in every way. You could navigate
(27:01):
government bureaucracies, you know, find available benefits just like that,
and just show people that you really do care and
that you're there to help. I mean, it's it's things
like that that I think really matter. You know why,
because it goes beyond talk. Nobody cares about talk anymore
short of the Good Lord himself coming down and saying something.
(27:26):
I think words at this point are fairly meaningless, you know,
they just they just kind of go out the window.
So action, just take that kind of action. You're on
the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Glad you're here. We'll get to the phone lines tectors
in four Texters in fuego, Dan, aren't you the king
of lawfair? I am the king of nothing. There's only
been one king. But that the Texter's point is that
earlier I said it's a mistake by President Trump to
be pursuing the lawfair that his administration is pursuing right now.
(28:03):
And while I think he's been historically great in so
many ways, Americans did not elect him to do that.
One of the reasons he was elected is Americans hate
it and they hate that the Democrats were doing it
to him. So I think that is a big mistake.
But in terms of using the law, yeah, righteous cases,
that's what I do. That's what we do. And I'll
(28:26):
tell you this. These prosecutions right now, and I understand
there prosecutions of some people who have done really evil things.
James Comey has done some really evil things that are
horrible for this nation. And this New York Attorney General,
(28:47):
Letitia James, she has done some really evil things to
Donald Trump. So in no way, shape or form am
I suggesting that that's some great unfairness is being done
to them. But what I'm saying is this, these are
not righteous prosecutions against James Comey or Letitia James. They're
(29:10):
not even if you can prove these violations of the law,
they're not righteous prosecutions because the origin is political motive.
And as I said, when President Trump was being victimized
so horribly by people abusing the legal process, that the
starting point was because their motive was to prosecute Trump
(29:36):
for political reasons. Those prosecutions were wrong from the job,
no matter what the underlying facts were. When the motive
for bringing charges is political because that person's a political opponent,
that prosecution is poisoned. It's wrong, it's wrong morally. And
so then that's the starting point in my mind for
(30:00):
both the Komy and Leticia James cases both have done
evil things. Comy and Letitia James. Donald Trump was horribly
victimized by both of them. But I don't care who
the president is. We shouldn't be bringing charges that are
politically motivated. And I understand some good people are going
(30:20):
to disagree with me on that. I respect that and
I'm happy to take those calls in those texts. But
it's a sacred thing in this country and it's part
of the foundation of our nation that we don't abuse
our justice system for political reasons. We don't bring politically
motivated prosecutions, and the fact that Donald Trump was horrifically
(30:41):
victimized by politically motivated prosecutions does not justify the Trump
administration bringing politically motivated prosecutions in my humble opinion, Heather
in Westminster, you're on the Dan Kaplas Show. Welcome.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Thanks Dan. I would like to respectfully disagree you and
Bill o'reiley on another ZAR, especially for things involving the
economy and where we the people need help. I personally
(31:18):
agree with Ronald Reagan on this one. The worst most
terrifying words in the English language are I am from
the government and.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I'm here to help, and so I'm sure what you're
rightfully concerned about are very destructive and non American things
like wage and price controls, things like that. And I'm
with you, Heather. I would never in a million years
support anything like that.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
But I don't believe that a bureaucratic system is designed
or should be designed to figure out what the people need.
I think we are a large population over diverse landscape,
and I think it's best when we the people, figure
(32:06):
out what we need and motivate ourselves to fix some problems.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
But what would be wrong with the Trump administration providing
information and doing what's appropriate within the scope of limited
government to bring prices down? Now? Starting with the information,
So Heather's out here in Westminster and you're probably facing
all the challenges that all of us are when it
comes to certain expenses. What would be wrong with the
(32:34):
administration having that? Tsara? Who would then explain, Okay, this
is why insurance rates are so high. You know that,
this is why homeowners insurance is so high, this is
why medical costs are so high. You know, here's what
can be done. You know we're within you know, the
proper framework to address that. What would be wrong with that?
What would be wrong with the administration helping to get
(32:56):
information out there about where you can get these life
essentials for less money. Sure?
Speaker 7 (33:04):
May I ask you a question in return? When has
government ever set out to study a problem and not
found a way to profit here off of it, or
someone corrupt in the system found a way to profit here.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Well, it's a fair question, Heather, But there's never been
any single human endeavor other than Jesus Christ work on
this earth that wasn't corrupted by somebody. Right, So we
could say the same thing of all of the great
endeavors in human history. You know, all of the heroic
(33:43):
people who rose up to end slavery. Within that movement,
you had a very small handful, I'm sure of people
any any great movement, any human endeavor of any kind
in America. What's that.
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Those people were not getting paid to do what they
were doing. They were doing it out.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Of conviction, I Heather, I do apologize. The music means
we're at the end of the show, but you're welcome
to call back at the beginning. No very grateful to
have you. You're welcome call back at the beginning of
tomorrow show. Ryan tremendous job. Appreciate all your great work today,
as always, please join us tomorrow four h six on

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.
