When asked by Peter Doocy of Fox News whether his peace deal in Gaza will help his case with the big man upstairs in getting to heaven, President Trump humbly suggests it may not be enough for him to make his case. This sparks a discussion between Dan (Catholic) and Ryan (Protestant) on whether Christians can gain entrance to heaven by works or on faith in Christ alone.
Dan states that 'Indigenous People's Day' has replaced Columbus Day in America, but Ryan says 'not so fast' and cites Tony Soprano as a point of Italian pride for many Americans who still observe the holiday as it has always been.

possible with God, and Trump just accomplished something nobody thought
(00:21):
was possible. And it goes beyond the historic return of
these twenty who were kidnapped and tortured and abused in
so many ways by their demonic captors. It goes to
a structural change that took a lot of work to
get to this point and now offers not only real hope,
but the probability of a permanent change in the Mideast,
a dramatically better Middle East. So we're talking on this
(00:43):
show about, Okay, what are the things right now that
people just accept as a new normal, all this terrible stuff.
What are the things can be changed right here in
Colorado and beyond. I've got some specifics I want to
bounce off of you. So we will get to that
and to the very interesting conversation about President Trump talking
today in response to a question about whether he thinks
(01:04):
this will help him get to have And in the meantime,
let's go to our local angel, Lindsey Data with Jeffco Kids. First,
it's hard to remember a grassroots organization that has actually
accomplished more than this group passed like a local grassroots organization.
Lindsey's back on another important one. Welcome back, Lindsay, how
(01:25):
you doing. Hey? Thank you great, good good good well Hey,
thanks for your note. And Heidi Ganol I know in
Rocky Mountain Voice has been addressing this as well. Maybe
you guys are working together on this. But out in
this Jeffco school board race, a candidate who folks need
to know about what's going on there.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, So someone close to somebody in this situation with
a union backed school board candidate came to us. The
name is Michael Yoakam and we were told about his
three of sexual offenses and deferred adjudication on this candidate.
(02:06):
We ended up recording this candidate privately took him aside
at a school board forum where he admitted to the
sexual offense and the deferred adjudication in his own words.
This led us, and as you know, we have a
private investigator with a legal background, and we discovered that
their charge at the time was a sexual assault on
(02:29):
a minor. We privately and quietly asked this candidate on
September thirtieth to step down, alerted their campaign manager, who
is strongly tied to the union as a campaign campaign manager,
and that did not happen, as we gave eight days
until we began to in a very methodical and contemplative
(02:54):
way to begin to alert the public of the risk
to seventy five thousand Jetco School of Children.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
A union still back in this guy.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So today they actually withdrew what they called a recommendation.
I find that to be a very watered down word,
as they find and vet and select these candidates and
then spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on them. But
they did put out notice today that they withdrew their recommendation,
which was actually surprising. But what wasn't surprising was in
(03:27):
that letter they labeled anyone who had concerns or was
bringing this forward as extremists.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
They're the ones that gave this guy all the money.
They're not extremists, right, but exactly the people who just
want people to know when you're voting for school board. Hey,
here's a guy with this history. You're the extremist. Well,
what a compliment to you, right, because and the thing
is the Union, they're like living in the Flintstone era,
right because the effectiveness of that attack. Oh my opponent's
(03:58):
an extremist. I think that ended twenty years ago. But again,
what credit to you guys? I mean, and one of
the reasons that you have so much success this whole
Jeff go kids. First thing is you do the hard work.
You do your homework. You know, you're out there, you're
working core requests. You got your private investigator. I mean,
you guys dig in and you get the facts.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Absolutely, And we are really unapologetic about how we go
thing go about things. We really work to remove the
any any strong inflammatory methods and make sure that this
is done in order to get accountability.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But let me ask you, Lindsey Deco, our guest Jeff
go kids. First, what's that handle on X again.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
On exits at l dot co on Facebook? It's Jeff
co kid. First, you can join our nine thousand.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
There does anybody look at Facebook anymore? Our nine guests?
So yeah, you've got nine thousand. That's pretty good, more
than I have. I don't think I'm even on Facebook.
But when you talk to this candidate, it sounds like
you went to him quietly and just said, hey, just
get out of the race, and he said thanks, but
no thanks. When you talk to him, did he have
(05:15):
any defense, any explanation, because what I hear you say
is that he acknowledged that the offense was a deferred
on a sex assault of a minor. Any more details.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, I'm glad you asked Dan, and this is actually
the first that I've brought this part forward. But he
in a very classic wave I hear of those who
commit this kind of crime or behavior, they turned himself
into a victim and became very narcissistic, saying the reason
(05:47):
he ran is because he learned from his experience and
his mistakes and is now an advocate. And that was
a massive red fline to us.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Now an advocate for what.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Advocate for these sexual abuse issues? And we brought up
the thirty plus cases that we have uncovered within Jeff
Coo schools. And in that same light he talked about
being an advocate.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Was it in and I'm just asking because I wasn't
there was was he trying to say that? Okay? As
someone who's committed abuse. I'm in a best position to
protect the kids from abuse. Was he saying that.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That is what we took from that?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yes? Wow, wow, well again, tremendous effectiveness on your part.
I think it's very hard to get, you know, an
organization like this union to back off of an endorsement.
So yeah, no, great work. And what's next, Lindsey, Yeah,
we'll find out. Yeah we will. Ye, we do know.
(06:48):
There's a next. There's always a next with you guys,
because you're you never stop working. And again, I can't
think of any grassroots organization that's had more success.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's much an honor to hear from you. Thank you
so much.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Hey, No, thanks for what you're doing. It it makes
everything better for the rest of us. Thanks, Lindsey, appreciate
the time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, take care.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Thank you to you.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Two.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
They they have a long history of accomplishing things. That
is so cool to see three or three someone three
eight two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Hey, I want to get back to
I think this fascinating exchange with President Trump today and
Peter Doucy. Obviously Trump accomplishing something that saving a whole
lot lives today and many many more to come, and
(07:33):
Doucy asking him about do you think this will help
you get to heaven? Then I want to layer some
sound on top of this.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You had talked a couple of weeks ago, you were
doing an interview, and you talked about how you hope
to end the more in your brain because it might
help you.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Get into heaven. How does how does this help? Does
this help?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
I mean, you know, Wan be a little cute. I
don't think there's anything going to get me in heaven. Okay,
I really think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound.
I may be in heaven right now as we fly
an air force what I'm not sure I'm going to
be able to make heaven. But I've made life a
lot better for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Boy, sure hasn't. Then that led to Ryan asked the
question about faith versus works. Now for Catholics like me,
there are many, many, many Catholics who listen to podcasts
done by Father Mike Schmidtz, and he's absolutely brilliant. He's
done Bible in a year, he's done Catechism in a year,
(08:31):
and he has this enormous audience all over the world.
He's an absolute genius, and he's just able to discuss
these heavy religious issues so well and you know, so practical,
while not compromising the doctrine at all. Right, the message is, hey,
I'm just the mailman. I can't change what's in the
(08:51):
mail that wouldn't be true to Christ. But I think
you'll find it fascinating what I want to do. I
don't want to start it now because then i'd have
to cut it off. But when we come back, I
want to give you father Mike's take on this issue
with President Trump. He's taped this before. He's not addressing
the President's comments today, but this broader issue that's arisen
among textures about faith versus works, because hey, if it's
(09:16):
based on works, Trump should be golden right three h
three someone three eight two five five. And you look
at a guy and I'm just a guy, right, I'm
no theologian. But you look at a guy like Trump
and you say, that's a guy who should be going
to heaven. But I'll give your father Mike's take when
to come back, Whether you're Catholic or not, I just
think you'll find it very interesting. You're on the Dan
Capla Show.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
This to me, that's President Trump being welcomed into the
Israeli equivalent of legislature today. But I thought that Democrats,
don't they keep Tanasa Trump's hitler, right? I mean, think
about how preposterous this is, right, and think about the
direction of this country almost went and I know the
(10:21):
election wasn't that close. But hopefully this today, this historic
peace and everything that the structure is there for this
to be, you know, forever changing in the Mid East.
Hopefully this will just open more and more eyes to
just how awful and diabolical and dishonest and destructive the
(10:43):
Democratic Party in America has become not your typical Democrat,
but the crazy radical, secular far lefties who, if they
had their way, Trump would either be in jail right
now or on his way to jail, ruined, ruined, financially,
his family ruined, instead of out saving the world one
piece at a time. Yeah, three or three seven one
three eight two five five text d A N five
(11:05):
seven seven three nine. So this leads to the question, Okay,
what about here in Colorado the things that people are
just accepting as the awful new normal, can't be changed,
can never be changed. I think Trump today is reawakening
hope in like fundamental structural change things people had given
up on. You know, the old RFK lines. Some men
(11:26):
see things as they are and say why I dream
things that never were and say why not? What are
those things that could change right here in Colorado. I've
got a few specific examples. I want to get to those,
but first I want to make sure I have time
for this. Here is Peter Doucy asking President Trump on
Air Force one today about getting to heaven. Will this
help them get to heaven? Oh? I figured that out Ryan,
(11:51):
Thank you. But it's good that Ryan's on top of it. There,
we'll try one more time here for our friend Peter.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
You had talked a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You were doing an interview, and you talked about how
you hope to end the war in Ukraine because of
my help you get into heaven.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
How does how does this help? Does this help?
Speaker 9 (12:07):
I mean, you want to be a little cute.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
I don't think there's anything going to get me in heaven. Okay,
I really think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound.
I may be in heaven right now. As we fly
at Air Force one. I'm not sure right I'm gonna
be able to make heaven, but I've made life a
lot better for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
See, I would disagree with Trump on that. I mean,
boy very hopefully he will be. But from a Catholic perspective,
Father Mike Schmidts, I'm about to play some sound of
him addressing this. He is this enormously popular for good reason.
Catholic priest who has this podcast that's listened to all
over the world. Here's his take on this.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
If you don't go any further in this video, I
want to be very clear, Catholics do not believe that
we are saved by our works. What are we believe in?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
We believe?
Speaker 10 (12:57):
How manyam Father make Schmidtz And this is a hunch
of presents. There is this kind of I don't know,
old argument or old debate that goes back to the
fifteen hundreds when it came to those who broke away
from the Catholic Church and started their own denominations about
is it faith or is it works? In fact, one
of the kind of cries was sola fide or faith alone.
So sometimes people say, okay, so Protestants believe in faith alone.
(13:19):
We're saved by faith alone, justified by faith alone, whereas
Catholics believe that you're saved by your works. Right, So
this is just the kind of thing is that faith?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Or is it works?
Speaker 10 (13:27):
And on one hand are Protestants saying it's faith, the
other hand it's Catholic saying it works. Now that's probably
a what's the word? That is probably a mis mischaracterization
of both parties. In fact, I know it's a mischaracteration mixed.
I know it's a mischaracterization of the Catholic party because
we don't believe that we're saved by our works. What
do we believe in. We believe that we are saved
(13:47):
by grace through faith, working ourself out in love.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
And there are a lot of Protestants.
Speaker 10 (13:53):
Who would say like, no, no, you have to there's
some kind of thing you have to do so. But
there's some though who would say no, no, no, sola fide.
All you have to do is profess faith in Jesus.
That's all you have to do, is have faith in Jesus.
BAC scriptures as if you believe in your heart fest
with the lips, Jesus is Lord, You'll be saved now.
At the same time, we can't isolate a scripture passage
and take it out and read it at the exclusion.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Of all the other scriptural passages.
Speaker 10 (14:13):
So how do I understand a Catholic vision of salvation?
But what we need is both faith and works. Let's
go back to the original definition. We're saved by grace, right,
It's just a free gift. Say by grace, it's God's
for gift. It's unmerited, it is bestowed upon us before
we have done anything.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
To deserve it.
Speaker 10 (14:33):
And in spite of the fact that we haven't done
anything to deserve it, it is God's gift. Where say,
by grace through faith, right, we respond to God's gift
of grace. We respond to God's gift of himself in
the passion pastoral mystery, right, Christ's life, death, and resurrection,
we responded that with faith.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
In another video, we'll talk about this more.
Speaker 10 (14:51):
But faith isn't just like oh yeah, yeah, check the box,
Like I agree, that's not faith. That's the beginning of belief.
But faith is I have placed my trust, I've surrendered
my intellect and my will to this God who has
died and risen from the dead for me, import out
the Holy Spirit for me? Where's the bed grace again?
Completely unmerited gift through faith. That's I've now surrendered. I've
(15:15):
submitted my intellect and my will to this God working
itself out in love. So there is that sense of
it has to work itself out. It's not a one
and done. It's not once saved, always saved. That's not
once I profess faith in Jesus, I can just go
about my married way. Why do we know that this
is true? Well, we know this is true because of
scripture in one place.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And then he goes on from there. So, yeah, what
he said, that is the cancelic few. That's the Catholic teaching,
which makes total sense to me. And you know, the
point of this isn't to you know, debate about faith
versus works. It's just that issue came up very fairly
in the context of President Trump's comments. I think Ryan
(15:56):
President Trump has spoken very openly about his faith in Christ, right,
hasn't he? I think he has. And he's certainly spoken
openly about his faith, yes, and about his Christianity, And well,
he certainly is doing a lot of great works.
Speaker 11 (16:19):
We know Dan, the spiritual turning point that the president
had in that field in Butler, Pennsylvania, when God saved
his life and that's what he believes, and he spoke
about that at.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
The Republican National Convention.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
I think in many ways it grounded him more than
he had ever been before, humbled him before God. I
think there's a lot that went on there, Dan that
I don't think people talk enough about that spiritual awakening
that Donald Trump had and in the aftermath of that,
and how he's applied it to how he approaches the presidency.
And I think it played a part in striking this
(16:55):
piece deal.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I really do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And you saw the tweet the White House released announcing
the deal. Blessed are the Peacemakers. He's talked openly about
hoping this helps him get into heaven. And I just
think I've said this before for a long time. This
story of Trump is is biblical in some ways, right,
And obviously he has his failings as human as we
all do. But well, that's the point, right, Historically God
(17:19):
works through broken people. I mean that is that that
is the clear message, the clear intent. You can see
it all the apostles, et cetera. And none of us
have to be theologians to see it. And then you
see Trump accomplishing this good at historic levels, you know,
overcoming evil, overcoming opposition, overcoming his own mistakes. It is
(17:40):
It's a.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
What a story and truly biblical in some really important respects.
So we'll get your take on that and so much more.
Three or three someone three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. You're on
the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
So Israel, with our help, has won all that they
can by force of arms. You've won, I mean you've won.
Now it's time to translate these victories against race on
the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Prosperity for the entire Middle East.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
It's about time you were able to enjoy the fruits
of your labor.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Aimen to that. Three or three seOne three A two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine. And one of the things we're talking
about I want to get your take is, Okay, what
else that seemed impossible do you think is possible now?
In terms of solutions here in Colorado? If you're listening
in this state. I've got a couple of specific examples.
(18:54):
But you know, as RFK said, some men see things
as they are and say why I dream things that
never were and say why not? And Trump is a
living example of that, right because what he just achieved
in the Middle East is going to go far beyond
even this mammoth accomplishment today, because you'll have this structural
change and an actual reconstruction of Gaza completely changed the
(19:16):
face of it in the future of those people. Now,
what about Colorado, I see a couple of major, major things, right,
it's just accepted as the new normal that we're always
going to have this legalized marijuana, which is really Krakawana
given the potency, because these drug dealers they want to
hook him young, hook him forever. And so that's just
(19:39):
at this point, I think society has kind of conceded
that awful harm. And I don't believe that's true at all.
I think that if there was a campaign run with
enough money to be able to get the truth out
to everybody of the horrible price that Colorado has paid
for legalization of marijuana, I think sixty four would be
repealed or at the very least people would approve a
(20:02):
scaling down where you don't have this societal stamp of
approval for all little kiddies to see on this legalized
Krakajana and you don't have more you know, marijuana stores
out there then you do Starbucks and McDonald's combined. Yeah,
I do believe that can change in Colorado. Is it
going to be hard? Of course it is, just as
(20:24):
what dumps doing in the Middle East is hard. It'll
probably take a gazillionaire type to fund it, because again,
there's no other way to get the truth to the people,
because so much of media now is slanted toward the
drug dealers, because media is hoping if they're not already
getting it for some of that drug money. Another thing,
fundamental change. You can truly liberate this state in America,
(20:46):
and you talk about, you know, as JFK said, you
know God's kingdom here on earth, make God's work on
Earth their own, liberating all these kids, all these middle
income and poor kids, you know, liberating them, letting him
reach their full potential by having true school choice. Yeah.
That that's one of the reasons I'm so certain of
(21:06):
a great future for America because that day is going
to come, hopefully sooner than later, and then wow, what
watch America get transformed and all these little kids now
have the future they deserve. Let's go to the phone lines.
I'm sure we have great words of optimism and encouragement
from Eerie Mike who joins us in this historic afternoon
(21:26):
on the Dan Kaplo Show.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
How you doing, Eerie, I'm better than I deserve. Dan, Hey,
I just wanted to call. I know, I always am
very critical of Trump, and I wanted to call today
and give him credit for whatever whatever piece he had
to do with the ceasefire. I want to give him
credit for that. So I think, I think that's a
(21:48):
great day. So if I don't know if there's the
pressure he put on that Nott in Yahoo or exactly
what it was, but the result is good.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
So I thought I would is there a big butt coming?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
There's no big butt. I guess I would just comment
on the I did hear just the thing you were
talking about on the kind of salvation message? I mean
he Trump does claim to be a Presbyterian, and and
that's to say by grace, uh strictly say by grace.
Uh you know, uh denomination so I don't know that
(22:26):
he really understands that, but anyway, it's it's the material
it relates to today. So I want to be positive today.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Very much to your credit, thanks Mike, appreciate the call.
Yeah see. And and there are others on the left too,
okay to their credit. Oh yeah, no, I think that
speaks very well of them. And who are some of
the others on the left who stand out most to
you Ryan today, John David Ignatius betterman, though he's already
shown some kinal courage and co.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
What it'll be real interesting to see is Hick and
Looper Bennett, the phantoms of the Senate. Have we heard
any words of congratulations for Trump or any other kind
of solid Polis issued some statement that I think ignores
Trump's roll. I'll we'll check that.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
And then Elizabeth Warren did that same thing. I called
for it, Okay, that's why it happened.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And then the Vice president came out, he retweeted hers
and said, yeah, that's why the president decided to do
it today on Indigenous People's Day. This used to be
Columbus Day. It's still My good friend Vick co Lombardi,
who I saw today talk about being on Colorado's Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
He reminded me this used to be Columbus Day. He
and I had both marched in a Columbus Day parade
together when Warre Churchill was attacking.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
You got to enlist the rush Limbaugh philosophy. Never grant
them the premise that it was ever removed in the
first place. President Trump has reasserted to Donalds Columbus Day.
I got a Tony Soprano clip there from the Sopranos
of about twenty years ago that reinforces the.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Point that I maintain. If Tony Soprano the character were.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
Around to day, if not James Gandelfini personally, but the
character would be a Trump supporter.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Wow. So your point is Columbus Day has not made
a comeback. It never went away. Yes, and Mother Cabrini
Day in Colorado, it's been renamed, and certainly she's very,
very very worthy.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
You've all people one Chicago and two Catholic. Three you
had to know a lot of Italian Catholic or Ukiago
who revered Christopher Columbus as a hero of the Italian people, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, yeah, No. Until I met my wife, I I
always thought I'd be married to Anna Albanese and you
don't get any more. They're Italian than that, all right, Yeah,
but I'd last saw her in third grade, so yeah,
oh no, no, And wow, what a thriving Italian community
back there. Sure no, the whole idea of no Columbus Day.
But yeah, Vick and I in that same parade, different floats,
(25:02):
but it was all that was under attack by Ward Churchill.
Oh of course everything. But see in fact, then you
talk about a great Colorado Italian family, the Lombardi family.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
That but think about that too.
Speaker 11 (25:14):
It goes in line with the time frame I believe
of that Sopranos episode I'm talking about which he has
that sound. It's right there toward the bottom. There it'll
it'll say a flash that you give it a number.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
It's in there. It's on the list.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Oh here it is.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Okay, that's right, that's it.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
We're having a discussion about Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
They would make fine servants. With fifty men. We could
subgate them, subjugate and make them do whatever we want.
That doesn't sound like a slave here to you.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
George Washington had slaves, the father of our country.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Oh, what's your point.
Speaker 12 (25:49):
His history teacher, mister Cushman is teaching your son that
if Columbus was alive today, he would go on trial
for crimes against humanity like Melosovich and you know europe.
Speaker 13 (26:00):
Teacher said that it's not just my teacher, it's the truth.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
It's in my history book.
Speaker 13 (26:07):
So you'll finally read a book and it's bullshit. Tell me,
I'll get a book at Columbus's shoes to see what
he went through. People don't know where was flat for
crying out loud? Then he lets on an island with
a bunch of naked savages on it. I mean I
took a lot of guts. You remember when we went
the Flowerda the heat and those bugs.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
Like it took up some murder people and put him
in chains.
Speaker 12 (26:29):
He was a victim of his time.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Who cares. It's what he did.
Speaker 13 (26:32):
He discovered America is what he did. He was a
brave Italian explorer. And in this house, Christopher Columbus is
a hero and a story that is great.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Sound thanks for fulling that isn't that fantastic?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I was at a flight to a conference a couple
of weeks ago, and there was a guy who just
reminded me of like, you know, some of the mobsters
we used to Caddy for sure. And then I noticed,
because and what's the etiquette planes here? I wasn't trying
to look at his screen, but there were all these
naked women on his screen, and I'm thinking, you know,
(27:06):
that's that's a little yeah, that's a little much for
a plane. But then I noticed he was watching the Sopranos.
I just saw this is perfect, very good. But then
I still asked him if he'd switched seats because I
wanted to sit next to a mean He was very
gracious about.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
It, point being real quick to put a fine point
on it. Dan that this Ward Churchill that you talk
about from that time, this teacher on this episode, be
it fiction?
Speaker 5 (27:28):
What have you?
Speaker 11 (27:29):
This used to be considered the lunatic fringe left, but
they have co opted made it their life's mission to
eradicate through erasure American history. Christopher Columbus, The undermine are
founding to cancel. Donald Trump predicted this with Jim Acosta
at the so called good people on Both Sides press conference.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Do you like Thomas Jefferson He's going to be next?
Speaker 11 (27:52):
And he was in George Washington, and they're even canceling
Abraham Lincoln, Dan because he wasn't an abolitionist. He was
just antislavery and he didn't do enough early enough in
his presidency to get rid of slavery.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
But it goes back to this core premise of the
left right that they know that they have to separate
America from first our faith, first our religious faith, and
then also from much of American history in order for
the left to succeed. There you go, That's why Polis
came out right the day after he got elected governor
said people got to leave their faith outside the public
square because he knows if people vote their faith, the
(28:28):
left loses. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
A bad sound.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
Well, having any discussion about Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
They would make fine servants with fifty men. We could
subgate them, subjugate and make them do whatever we want.
That doesn't sound like a slave share to you.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
George Washington had slaves the father of our country.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
What's your point.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
His history teacher, mister Cushman is teaching your son that
if Columbus was alive today, he would go on trial
for crimes against humanity like Melosevich and you know Europe jr.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
Teacher said that it's not just my teacher, it's the truth.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
It's in my history book.
Speaker 13 (29:21):
So you're finally read the book and it's bullshit, Tony.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Forget the book.
Speaker 13 (29:27):
At Columbus's shoes to see what he went through. People
don't know where was flat for crying out loud that
he left in an island with a bunch of naked
savages on it. I mean I took a lot of guts.
You remember when we went to Florida, the heat and
those bugs like it took us some murder people and
put them in chains.
Speaker 12 (29:42):
He was a victim of his time.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Who cares, it's what he did.
Speaker 13 (29:45):
He just covered America, is what he did. He was
a brave Rettalian explorer. And in this house, Christopher Columbus
is a hero, end a story.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
A great clip there? Now was it just me?
Speaker 11 (29:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Texture is upset with me? And rightfully so? Oh no, Dan,
it's still MBus day. Nationally, you have allowed Colorado to
rename and you're recognizing it guilty of charge. My bad
Back to selections, the elections and Colorado Dems supermajority. Just
a reminder they are indoctrinating all of society, not only
the children. No, you're right, living here in Colorado. Yeah,
(30:19):
I did kind of forget that It's still Columbus Day nationally.
A lot of my apologies for that.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
Companies have removed it as a holiday that they observe,
though I don't know about the federal part where the
banks open today?
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Probably not or were they? No, they were not open today.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Okay, okay, yeah, well, Mother Cabrini Day in Colorado, and
obviously she's extraordinarily deserving opening all those orphanages and everything else.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
But but yeah, so did you ever run a counter Dan?
You said you were caddying for some young guys that
were maybe involved there? No, maybe, Okay, did you ever
have an uncomfortable or scary moment with them?
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Were you extra nice to them to make sure you bad?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
They were the coolest guys in the world. Are you kidding?
All the criminals I caddied for were so incredibly cool. Yeah,
and they weren't just mobsters like Dan Rostenkowski, you know,
the big powerful democrat they sent to jail. Coolest guy
on the planet And I am oh yeah, And I
am not endorsing any kind of criminal behavior at all.
(31:17):
I'm just saying on the golf course, okay, very very cool, guys,
not not a second thought about any of that. And
I gotta tell you, if your kid he's looking for
a job, she's looking for a job, because half the
even scholars now are women, you know, just just send
him out to caddy. Send him. It was the greatest
job I've well, i'd say the greatest job I've ever had. Second,
(31:39):
greatest job I've ever had, you know, trial work, kiss
to be first. But just what a great job for
a kid, and you meet so many different people, and
obviously for y'all, it was so great.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Even going back to the time of the late great
al Capone with the common folk, he was a celebrity
and he would go to Cubs games, he would go
to you know, jazz clubs and stuff, and he was
kind of accepted in polite society and he was a gregarious, nice, engaging.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Guye to them.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Now, he's a total psychopath, a murderer, but he had
his moments.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Listen as a caddy, that's your own little world at
golf course, all right, and it's just about how people
treat you and how they tip you and all that
other stuff. It was just so many great memories.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
What do you can think about Donald Trump?
Speaker 11 (32:25):
That's one of his favorite go to lines, Like he's
on the campaign trailer talking to people like they charged
him with more crimes than.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The late great tele Capone. All I can say is,
I would pay a lot of money to caddy for Trump.
Oh man, I would pay a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Thrill of a lifetime, oh just because.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That caddy golfer relationship. I don't care who the human is,
if they're really into golf, whether they're great or they're
horrible when they're on the golf course, that they're just
a different person, you know, in that relationship with the
caddy and true.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
Oh man, Yeah, I do it right now. At your agent,
at his age, you'd caddy for me right now?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Are you kidding? I'd go thirty six. I'd go thirty six.
He had a caddy for him.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
He would play all day. Yeah, he would play all day. Hey, Alexis,
And it says Dan, there's a great post in next
Dear World. You are welcome. Trump Vhoters perfect as perfect
and I'm just so optimistic all the reasons we've talked
about on the show today. It just shows there can
be this fundamental world change for the better. And Trump
(33:31):
piecers strength just came out and said that, you know,
he may give Ukraine missiles that will hit Moscow, So
he obviously wants peace in Ukraine and the only way
you're going to get it with Putin is through strength.
So it'll be interesting to see where that goes next. Locally,
We've got a topic tomorrow that fascinates me because I
see so much horrible carnage. You know, in my job,
(33:52):
I'm catastrophic injury lawyer, and and you know drunk drivers
right and all the and drug drivers and all the
horrors they inflect. Well, we had some of these DUI
checkpoints this weekend in a Repo and Douglas and I'll
save the teas from morrow. What percentage of people they stop?
Do you think we're driving impaired? I think the number
(34:13):
will shock you. I want to get into that tomorrow
and then ask you, hey, should we have these checkpoints everywhere?
And then show you the numbers on the explosion and
death on the roadway since legalization of marijuana catch you tomorrow.
Thank you guys,
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. All things are
possible with God, and Trump just accomplished something nobody thought
(00:21):
was possible. And it goes beyond the historic return of
these twenty who were kidnapped and tortured and abused in
so many ways by their demonic captors. It goes to
a structural change that took a lot of work to
get to this point and now offers not only real hope,
but the probability of a permanent change in the Mideast,
a dramatically better Middle East. So we're talking on this
(00:43):
show about, Okay, what are the things right now that
people just accept as a new normal, all this terrible stuff.
What are the things can be changed right here in
Colorado and beyond. I've got some specifics I want to
bounce off of you. So we will get to that
and to the very interesting conversation about President Trump talking
today in response to a question about whether he thinks
(01:04):
this will help him get to have And in the meantime,
let's go to our local angel, Lindsey Data with Jeffco Kids. First,
it's hard to remember a grassroots organization that has actually
accomplished more than this group passed like a local grassroots organization.
Lindsey's back on another important one. Welcome back, Lindsay, how
(01:25):
you doing. Hey? Thank you great, good good good well Hey,
thanks for your note. And Heidi Ganol I know in
Rocky Mountain Voice has been addressing this as well. Maybe
you guys are working together on this. But out in
this Jeffco school board race, a candidate who folks need
to know about what's going on there.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, So someone close to somebody in this situation with
a union backed school board candidate came to us. The
name is Michael Yoakam and we were told about his
three of sexual offenses and deferred adjudication on this candidate.
(02:06):
We ended up recording this candidate privately took him aside
at a school board forum where he admitted to the
sexual offense and the deferred adjudication in his own words.
This led us, and as you know, we have a
private investigator with a legal background, and we discovered that
their charge at the time was a sexual assault on
(02:29):
a minor. We privately and quietly asked this candidate on
September thirtieth to step down, alerted their campaign manager, who
is strongly tied to the union as a campaign campaign manager,
and that did not happen, as we gave eight days
until we began to in a very methodical and contemplative
(02:54):
way to begin to alert the public of the risk
to seventy five thousand Jetco School of Children.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
A union still back in this guy.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So today they actually withdrew what they called a recommendation.
I find that to be a very watered down word,
as they find and vet and select these candidates and
then spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on them. But
they did put out notice today that they withdrew their recommendation,
which was actually surprising. But what wasn't surprising was in
(03:27):
that letter they labeled anyone who had concerns or was
bringing this forward as extremists.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
They're the ones that gave this guy all the money.
They're not extremists, right, but exactly the people who just
want people to know when you're voting for school board. Hey,
here's a guy with this history. You're the extremist. Well,
what a compliment to you, right, because and the thing
is the Union, they're like living in the Flintstone era,
right because the effectiveness of that attack. Oh my opponent's
(03:58):
an extremist. I think that ended twenty years ago. But again,
what credit to you guys? I mean, and one of
the reasons that you have so much success this whole
Jeff go kids. First thing is you do the hard work.
You do your homework. You know, you're out there, you're
working core requests. You got your private investigator. I mean,
you guys dig in and you get the facts.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Absolutely, And we are really unapologetic about how we go
thing go about things. We really work to remove the
any any strong inflammatory methods and make sure that this
is done in order to get accountability.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But let me ask you, Lindsey Deco, our guest Jeff
go kids. First, what's that handle on X again.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
On exits at l dot co on Facebook? It's Jeff
co kid. First, you can join our nine thousand.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
There does anybody look at Facebook anymore? Our nine guests?
So yeah, you've got nine thousand. That's pretty good, more
than I have. I don't think I'm even on Facebook.
But when you talk to this candidate, it sounds like
you went to him quietly and just said, hey, just
get out of the race, and he said thanks, but
no thanks. When you talk to him, did he have
(05:15):
any defense, any explanation, because what I hear you say
is that he acknowledged that the offense was a deferred
on a sex assault of a minor. Any more details.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, I'm glad you asked Dan, and this is actually
the first that I've brought this part forward. But he
in a very classic wave I hear of those who
commit this kind of crime or behavior, they turned himself
into a victim and became very narcissistic, saying the reason
(05:47):
he ran is because he learned from his experience and
his mistakes and is now an advocate. And that was
a massive red fline to us.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Now an advocate for what.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Advocate for these sexual abuse issues? And we brought up
the thirty plus cases that we have uncovered within Jeff
Coo schools. And in that same light he talked about
being an advocate.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Was it in and I'm just asking because I wasn't
there was was he trying to say that? Okay? As
someone who's committed abuse. I'm in a best position to
protect the kids from abuse. Was he saying that.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That is what we took from that?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yes? Wow, wow, well again, tremendous effectiveness on your part.
I think it's very hard to get, you know, an
organization like this union to back off of an endorsement.
So yeah, no, great work. And what's next, Lindsey, Yeah,
we'll find out. Yeah we will. Ye, we do know.
(06:48):
There's a next. There's always a next with you guys,
because you're you never stop working. And again, I can't
think of any grassroots organization that's had more success.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's much an honor to hear from you. Thank you
so much.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Hey, No, thanks for what you're doing. It it makes
everything better for the rest of us. Thanks, Lindsey, appreciate
the time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, take care.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Thank you to you.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Two.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
They they have a long history of accomplishing things. That
is so cool to see three or three someone three
eight two five five text d A N five seven
seven three nine. Hey, I want to get back to
I think this fascinating exchange with President Trump today and
Peter Doucy. Obviously Trump accomplishing something that saving a whole
lot lives today and many many more to come, and
(07:33):
Doucy asking him about do you think this will help
you get to heaven? Then I want to layer some
sound on top of this.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You had talked a couple of weeks ago, you were
doing an interview, and you talked about how you hope
to end the more in your brain because it might
help you.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Get into heaven. How does how does this help? Does
this help?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
I mean, you know, Wan be a little cute. I
don't think there's anything going to get me in heaven. Okay,
I really think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound.
I may be in heaven right now as we fly
an air force what I'm not sure I'm going to
be able to make heaven. But I've made life a
lot better for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Boy, sure hasn't. Then that led to Ryan asked the
question about faith versus works. Now for Catholics like me,
there are many, many, many Catholics who listen to podcasts
done by Father Mike Schmidtz, and he's absolutely brilliant. He's
done Bible in a year, he's done Catechism in a year,
(08:31):
and he has this enormous audience all over the world.
He's an absolute genius, and he's just able to discuss
these heavy religious issues so well and you know, so practical,
while not compromising the doctrine at all. Right, the message is, hey,
I'm just the mailman. I can't change what's in the
(08:51):
mail that wouldn't be true to Christ. But I think
you'll find it fascinating what I want to do. I
don't want to start it now because then i'd have
to cut it off. But when we come back, I
want to give you father Mike's take on this issue
with President Trump. He's taped this before. He's not addressing
the President's comments today, but this broader issue that's arisen
among textures about faith versus works, because hey, if it's
(09:16):
based on works, Trump should be golden right three h
three someone three eight two five five. And you look
at a guy and I'm just a guy, right, I'm
no theologian. But you look at a guy like Trump
and you say, that's a guy who should be going
to heaven. But I'll give your father Mike's take when
to come back, Whether you're Catholic or not, I just
think you'll find it very interesting. You're on the Dan
Capla Show.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
This to me, that's President Trump being welcomed into the
Israeli equivalent of legislature today. But I thought that Democrats,
don't they keep Tanasa Trump's hitler, right? I mean, think
about how preposterous this is, right, and think about the
direction of this country almost went and I know the
(10:21):
election wasn't that close. But hopefully this today, this historic
peace and everything that the structure is there for this
to be, you know, forever changing in the Mid East.
Hopefully this will just open more and more eyes to
just how awful and diabolical and dishonest and destructive the
(10:43):
Democratic Party in America has become not your typical Democrat,
but the crazy radical, secular far lefties who, if they
had their way, Trump would either be in jail right
now or on his way to jail, ruined, ruined, financially,
his family ruined, instead of out saving the world one
piece at a time. Yeah, three or three seven one
three eight two five five text d A N five
(11:05):
seven seven three nine. So this leads to the question, Okay,
what about here in Colorado the things that people are
just accepting as the awful new normal, can't be changed,
can never be changed. I think Trump today is reawakening
hope in like fundamental structural change things people had given
up on. You know, the old RFK lines. Some men
(11:26):
see things as they are and say why I dream
things that never were and say why not? What are
those things that could change right here in Colorado. I've
got a few specific examples. I want to get to those,
but first I want to make sure I have time
for this. Here is Peter Doucy asking President Trump on
Air Force one today about getting to heaven. Will this
help them get to heaven? Oh? I figured that out Ryan,
(11:51):
Thank you. But it's good that Ryan's on top of it. There,
we'll try one more time here for our friend Peter.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
You had talked a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You were doing an interview, and you talked about how
you hope to end the war in Ukraine because of
my help you get into heaven.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
How does how does this help? Does this help?
Speaker 9 (12:07):
I mean, you want to be a little cute.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
I don't think there's anything going to get me in heaven. Okay,
I really think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound.
I may be in heaven right now. As we fly
at Air Force one. I'm not sure right I'm gonna
be able to make heaven, but I've made life a
lot better for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
See, I would disagree with Trump on that. I mean,
boy very hopefully he will be. But from a Catholic perspective,
Father Mike Schmidts, I'm about to play some sound of
him addressing this. He is this enormously popular for good reason.
Catholic priest who has this podcast that's listened to all
over the world. Here's his take on this.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
If you don't go any further in this video, I
want to be very clear, Catholics do not believe that
we are saved by our works. What are we believe in?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
We believe?
Speaker 10 (12:57):
How manyam Father make Schmidtz And this is a hunch
of presents. There is this kind of I don't know,
old argument or old debate that goes back to the
fifteen hundreds when it came to those who broke away
from the Catholic Church and started their own denominations about
is it faith or is it works? In fact, one
of the kind of cries was sola fide or faith alone.
So sometimes people say, okay, so Protestants believe in faith alone.
(13:19):
We're saved by faith alone, justified by faith alone, whereas
Catholics believe that you're saved by your works. Right, So
this is just the kind of thing is that faith?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Or is it works?
Speaker 10 (13:27):
And on one hand are Protestants saying it's faith, the
other hand it's Catholic saying it works. Now that's probably
a what's the word? That is probably a mis mischaracterization
of both parties. In fact, I know it's a mischaracteration mixed.
I know it's a mischaracterization of the Catholic party because
we don't believe that we're saved by our works. What
do we believe in. We believe that we are saved
(13:47):
by grace through faith, working ourself out in love.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
And there are a lot of Protestants.
Speaker 10 (13:53):
Who would say like, no, no, you have to there's
some kind of thing you have to do so. But
there's some though who would say no, no, no, sola fide.
All you have to do is profess faith in Jesus.
That's all you have to do, is have faith in Jesus.
BAC scriptures as if you believe in your heart fest
with the lips, Jesus is Lord, You'll be saved now.
At the same time, we can't isolate a scripture passage
and take it out and read it at the exclusion.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Of all the other scriptural passages.
Speaker 10 (14:13):
So how do I understand a Catholic vision of salvation?
But what we need is both faith and works. Let's
go back to the original definition. We're saved by grace, right,
It's just a free gift. Say by grace, it's God's
for gift. It's unmerited, it is bestowed upon us before
we have done anything.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
To deserve it.
Speaker 10 (14:33):
And in spite of the fact that we haven't done
anything to deserve it, it is God's gift. Where say,
by grace through faith, right, we respond to God's gift
of grace. We respond to God's gift of himself in
the passion pastoral mystery, right, Christ's life, death, and resurrection,
we responded that with faith.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
In another video, we'll talk about this more.
Speaker 10 (14:51):
But faith isn't just like oh yeah, yeah, check the box,
Like I agree, that's not faith. That's the beginning of belief.
But faith is I have placed my trust, I've surrendered
my intellect and my will to this God who has
died and risen from the dead for me, import out
the Holy Spirit for me? Where's the bed grace again?
Completely unmerited gift through faith. That's I've now surrendered. I've
(15:15):
submitted my intellect and my will to this God working
itself out in love. So there is that sense of
it has to work itself out. It's not a one
and done. It's not once saved, always saved. That's not
once I profess faith in Jesus, I can just go
about my married way. Why do we know that this
is true? Well, we know this is true because of
scripture in one place.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And then he goes on from there. So, yeah, what
he said, that is the cancelic few. That's the Catholic teaching,
which makes total sense to me. And you know, the
point of this isn't to you know, debate about faith
versus works. It's just that issue came up very fairly
in the context of President Trump's comments. I think Ryan
(15:56):
President Trump has spoken very openly about his faith in Christ, right,
hasn't he? I think he has. And he's certainly spoken
openly about his faith, yes, and about his Christianity, And well,
he certainly is doing a lot of great works.
Speaker 11 (16:19):
We know Dan, the spiritual turning point that the president
had in that field in Butler, Pennsylvania, when God saved
his life and that's what he believes, and he spoke
about that at.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
The Republican National Convention.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
I think in many ways it grounded him more than
he had ever been before, humbled him before God. I
think there's a lot that went on there, Dan that
I don't think people talk enough about that spiritual awakening
that Donald Trump had and in the aftermath of that,
and how he's applied it to how he approaches the presidency.
And I think it played a part in striking this
(16:55):
piece deal.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I really do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And you saw the tweet the White House released announcing
the deal. Blessed are the Peacemakers. He's talked openly about
hoping this helps him get into heaven. And I just
think I've said this before for a long time. This
story of Trump is is biblical in some ways, right,
And obviously he has his failings as human as we
all do. But well, that's the point, right, Historically God
(17:19):
works through broken people. I mean that is that that
is the clear message, the clear intent. You can see
it all the apostles, et cetera. And none of us
have to be theologians to see it. And then you
see Trump accomplishing this good at historic levels, you know,
overcoming evil, overcoming opposition, overcoming his own mistakes. It is
(17:40):
It's a.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
What a story and truly biblical in some really important respects.
So we'll get your take on that and so much more.
Three or three someone three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. You're on
the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
So Israel, with our help, has won all that they
can by force of arms. You've won, I mean you've won.
Now it's time to translate these victories against race on
the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Prosperity for the entire Middle East.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
It's about time you were able to enjoy the fruits
of your labor.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Aimen to that. Three or three seOne three A two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine. And one of the things we're talking
about I want to get your take is, Okay, what
else that seemed impossible do you think is possible now?
In terms of solutions here in Colorado? If you're listening
in this state. I've got a couple of specific examples.
(18:54):
But you know, as RFK said, some men see things
as they are and say why I dream things that
never were and say why not? And Trump is a
living example of that, right because what he just achieved
in the Middle East is going to go far beyond
even this mammoth accomplishment today, because you'll have this structural
change and an actual reconstruction of Gaza completely changed the
(19:16):
face of it in the future of those people. Now,
what about Colorado, I see a couple of major, major things, right,
it's just accepted as the new normal that we're always
going to have this legalized marijuana, which is really Krakawana
given the potency, because these drug dealers they want to
hook him young, hook him forever. And so that's just
(19:39):
at this point, I think society has kind of conceded
that awful harm. And I don't believe that's true at all.
I think that if there was a campaign run with
enough money to be able to get the truth out
to everybody of the horrible price that Colorado has paid
for legalization of marijuana, I think sixty four would be
repealed or at the very least people would approve a
(20:02):
scaling down where you don't have this societal stamp of
approval for all little kiddies to see on this legalized
Krakajana and you don't have more you know, marijuana stores
out there then you do Starbucks and McDonald's combined. Yeah,
I do believe that can change in Colorado. Is it
going to be hard? Of course it is, just as
(20:24):
what dumps doing in the Middle East is hard. It'll
probably take a gazillionaire type to fund it, because again,
there's no other way to get the truth to the people,
because so much of media now is slanted toward the
drug dealers, because media is hoping if they're not already
getting it for some of that drug money. Another thing,
fundamental change. You can truly liberate this state in America,
(20:46):
and you talk about, you know, as JFK said, you
know God's kingdom here on earth, make God's work on
Earth their own, liberating all these kids, all these middle
income and poor kids, you know, liberating them, letting him
reach their full potential by having true school choice. Yeah.
That that's one of the reasons I'm so certain of
(21:06):
a great future for America because that day is going
to come, hopefully sooner than later, and then wow, what
watch America get transformed and all these little kids now
have the future they deserve. Let's go to the phone lines.
I'm sure we have great words of optimism and encouragement
from Eerie Mike who joins us in this historic afternoon
(21:26):
on the Dan Kaplo Show.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
How you doing, Eerie, I'm better than I deserve. Dan, Hey,
I just wanted to call. I know, I always am
very critical of Trump, and I wanted to call today
and give him credit for whatever whatever piece he had
to do with the ceasefire. I want to give him
credit for that. So I think, I think that's a
(21:48):
great day. So if I don't know if there's the
pressure he put on that Nott in Yahoo or exactly
what it was, but the result is good.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
So I thought I would is there a big butt coming?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
There's no big butt. I guess I would just comment
on the I did hear just the thing you were
talking about on the kind of salvation message? I mean
he Trump does claim to be a Presbyterian, and and
that's to say by grace, uh strictly say by grace.
Uh you know, uh denomination so I don't know that
(22:26):
he really understands that, but anyway, it's it's the material
it relates to today. So I want to be positive today.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Very much to your credit, thanks Mike, appreciate the call.
Yeah see. And and there are others on the left too,
okay to their credit. Oh yeah, no, I think that
speaks very well of them. And who are some of
the others on the left who stand out most to
you Ryan today, John David Ignatius betterman, though he's already
shown some kinal courage and co.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
What it'll be real interesting to see is Hick and
Looper Bennett, the phantoms of the Senate. Have we heard
any words of congratulations for Trump or any other kind
of solid Polis issued some statement that I think ignores
Trump's roll. I'll we'll check that.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
And then Elizabeth Warren did that same thing. I called
for it, Okay, that's why it happened.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And then the Vice president came out, he retweeted hers
and said, yeah, that's why the president decided to do
it today on Indigenous People's Day. This used to be
Columbus Day. It's still My good friend Vick co Lombardi,
who I saw today talk about being on Colorado's Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
He reminded me this used to be Columbus Day. He
and I had both marched in a Columbus Day parade
together when Warre Churchill was attacking.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
You got to enlist the rush Limbaugh philosophy. Never grant
them the premise that it was ever removed in the
first place. President Trump has reasserted to Donalds Columbus Day.
I got a Tony Soprano clip there from the Sopranos
of about twenty years ago that reinforces the.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Point that I maintain. If Tony Soprano the character were.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
Around to day, if not James Gandelfini personally, but the
character would be a Trump supporter.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Wow. So your point is Columbus Day has not made
a comeback. It never went away. Yes, and Mother Cabrini
Day in Colorado, it's been renamed, and certainly she's very,
very very worthy.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
You've all people one Chicago and two Catholic. Three you
had to know a lot of Italian Catholic or Ukiago
who revered Christopher Columbus as a hero of the Italian people, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, yeah, No. Until I met my wife, I I
always thought I'd be married to Anna Albanese and you
don't get any more. They're Italian than that, all right, Yeah,
but I'd last saw her in third grade, so yeah,
oh no, no, And wow, what a thriving Italian community
back there. Sure no, the whole idea of no Columbus Day.
But yeah, Vick and I in that same parade, different floats,
(25:02):
but it was all that was under attack by Ward Churchill.
Oh of course everything. But see in fact, then you
talk about a great Colorado Italian family, the Lombardi family.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
That but think about that too.
Speaker 11 (25:14):
It goes in line with the time frame I believe
of that Sopranos episode I'm talking about which he has
that sound. It's right there toward the bottom. There it'll
it'll say a flash that you give it a number.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
It's in there. It's on the list.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Oh here it is.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Okay, that's right, that's it.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
We're having a discussion about Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
They would make fine servants. With fifty men. We could
subgate them, subjugate and make them do whatever we want.
That doesn't sound like a slave here to you.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
George Washington had slaves, the father of our country.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Oh, what's your point.
Speaker 12 (25:49):
His history teacher, mister Cushman is teaching your son that
if Columbus was alive today, he would go on trial
for crimes against humanity like Melosovich and you know europe.
Speaker 13 (26:00):
Teacher said that it's not just my teacher, it's the truth.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
It's in my history book.
Speaker 13 (26:07):
So you'll finally read a book and it's bullshit. Tell me,
I'll get a book at Columbus's shoes to see what
he went through. People don't know where was flat for
crying out loud? Then he lets on an island with
a bunch of naked savages on it. I mean I
took a lot of guts. You remember when we went
the Flowerda the heat and those bugs.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
Like it took up some murder people and put him
in chains.
Speaker 12 (26:29):
He was a victim of his time.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Who cares. It's what he did.
Speaker 13 (26:32):
He discovered America is what he did. He was a
brave Italian explorer. And in this house, Christopher Columbus is
a hero and a story that is great.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Sound thanks for fulling that isn't that fantastic?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I was at a flight to a conference a couple
of weeks ago, and there was a guy who just
reminded me of like, you know, some of the mobsters
we used to Caddy for sure. And then I noticed,
because and what's the etiquette planes here? I wasn't trying
to look at his screen, but there were all these
naked women on his screen, and I'm thinking, you know,
(27:06):
that's that's a little yeah, that's a little much for
a plane. But then I noticed he was watching the Sopranos.
I just saw this is perfect, very good. But then
I still asked him if he'd switched seats because I
wanted to sit next to a mean He was very
gracious about.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
It, point being real quick to put a fine point
on it. Dan that this Ward Churchill that you talk
about from that time, this teacher on this episode, be
it fiction?
Speaker 5 (27:28):
What have you?
Speaker 11 (27:29):
This used to be considered the lunatic fringe left, but
they have co opted made it their life's mission to
eradicate through erasure American history. Christopher Columbus, The undermine are
founding to cancel. Donald Trump predicted this with Jim Acosta
at the so called good people on Both Sides press conference.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Do you like Thomas Jefferson He's going to be next?
Speaker 11 (27:52):
And he was in George Washington, and they're even canceling
Abraham Lincoln, Dan because he wasn't an abolitionist. He was
just antislavery and he didn't do enough early enough in
his presidency to get rid of slavery.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
But it goes back to this core premise of the
left right that they know that they have to separate
America from first our faith, first our religious faith, and
then also from much of American history in order for
the left to succeed. There you go, That's why Polis
came out right the day after he got elected governor
said people got to leave their faith outside the public
square because he knows if people vote their faith, the
(28:28):
left loses. You're on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
A bad sound.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
Well, having any discussion about Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
They would make fine servants with fifty men. We could
subgate them, subjugate and make them do whatever we want.
That doesn't sound like a slave share to you.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
George Washington had slaves the father of our country.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
What's your point.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
His history teacher, mister Cushman is teaching your son that
if Columbus was alive today, he would go on trial
for crimes against humanity like Melosevich and you know Europe jr.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
Teacher said that it's not just my teacher, it's the truth.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
It's in my history book.
Speaker 13 (29:21):
So you're finally read the book and it's bullshit, Tony.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Forget the book.
Speaker 13 (29:27):
At Columbus's shoes to see what he went through. People
don't know where was flat for crying out loud that
he left in an island with a bunch of naked
savages on it. I mean I took a lot of guts.
You remember when we went to Florida, the heat and
those bugs like it took us some murder people and
put them in chains.
Speaker 12 (29:42):
He was a victim of his time.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Who cares, it's what he did.
Speaker 13 (29:45):
He just covered America, is what he did. He was
a brave Rettalian explorer. And in this house, Christopher Columbus
is a hero, end a story.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
A great clip there? Now was it just me?
Speaker 11 (29:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Texture is upset with me? And rightfully so? Oh no, Dan,
it's still MBus day. Nationally, you have allowed Colorado to
rename and you're recognizing it guilty of charge. My bad
Back to selections, the elections and Colorado Dems supermajority. Just
a reminder they are indoctrinating all of society, not only
the children. No, you're right, living here in Colorado. Yeah,
(30:19):
I did kind of forget that It's still Columbus Day nationally.
A lot of my apologies for that.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
Companies have removed it as a holiday that they observe,
though I don't know about the federal part where the
banks open today?
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Probably not or were they? No, they were not open today.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Okay, okay, yeah, well, Mother Cabrini Day in Colorado, and
obviously she's extraordinarily deserving opening all those orphanages and everything else.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
But but yeah, so did you ever run a counter Dan?
You said you were caddying for some young guys that
were maybe involved there? No, maybe, Okay, did you ever
have an uncomfortable or scary moment with them?
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Were you extra nice to them to make sure you bad?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
They were the coolest guys in the world. Are you kidding?
All the criminals I caddied for were so incredibly cool. Yeah,
and they weren't just mobsters like Dan Rostenkowski, you know,
the big powerful democrat they sent to jail. Coolest guy
on the planet And I am oh yeah, And I
am not endorsing any kind of criminal behavior at all.
(31:17):
I'm just saying on the golf course, okay, very very cool, guys,
not not a second thought about any of that. And
I gotta tell you, if your kid he's looking for
a job, she's looking for a job, because half the
even scholars now are women, you know, just just send
him out to caddy. Send him. It was the greatest
job I've well, i'd say the greatest job I've ever had. Second,
(31:39):
greatest job I've ever had, you know, trial work, kiss
to be first. But just what a great job for
a kid, and you meet so many different people, and
obviously for y'all, it was so great.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Even going back to the time of the late great
al Capone with the common folk, he was a celebrity
and he would go to Cubs games, he would go
to you know, jazz clubs and stuff, and he was
kind of accepted in polite society and he was a gregarious, nice, engaging.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Guye to them.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Now, he's a total psychopath, a murderer, but he had
his moments.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Listen as a caddy, that's your own little world at
golf course, all right, and it's just about how people
treat you and how they tip you and all that
other stuff. It was just so many great memories.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
What do you can think about Donald Trump?
Speaker 11 (32:25):
That's one of his favorite go to lines, Like he's
on the campaign trailer talking to people like they charged
him with more crimes than.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The late great tele Capone. All I can say is,
I would pay a lot of money to caddy for Trump.
Oh man, I would pay a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Thrill of a lifetime, oh just because.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That caddy golfer relationship. I don't care who the human is,
if they're really into golf, whether they're great or they're
horrible when they're on the golf course, that they're just
a different person, you know, in that relationship with the
caddy and true.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
Oh man, Yeah, I do it right now. At your agent,
at his age, you'd caddy for me right now?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Are you kidding? I'd go thirty six. I'd go thirty six.
He had a caddy for him.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
He would play all day. Yeah, he would play all day. Hey, Alexis,
And it says Dan, there's a great post in next
Dear World. You are welcome. Trump Vhoters perfect as perfect
and I'm just so optimistic all the reasons we've talked
about on the show today. It just shows there can
be this fundamental world change for the better. And Trump
(33:31):
piecers strength just came out and said that, you know,
he may give Ukraine missiles that will hit Moscow, So
he obviously wants peace in Ukraine and the only way
you're going to get it with Putin is through strength.
So it'll be interesting to see where that goes next. Locally,
We've got a topic tomorrow that fascinates me because I
see so much horrible carnage. You know, in my job,
(33:52):
I'm catastrophic injury lawyer, and and you know drunk drivers
right and all the and drug drivers and all the
horrors they inflect. Well, we had some of these DUI
checkpoints this weekend in a Repo and Douglas and I'll
save the teas from morrow. What percentage of people they stop?
Do you think we're driving impaired? I think the number
(34:13):
will shock you. I want to get into that tomorrow
and then ask you, hey, should we have these checkpoints everywhere?
And then show you the numbers on the explosion and
death on the roadway since legalization of marijuana catch you tomorrow.
Thank you guys,
