Speaker 2 (00:14):
What an amazing time to be alive. Glad you are here,
so much fun stuff to kick around today, including I mean,
just grab your popcorn, sit back and watch this unfold
because you've got the left now not surprisingly right, because
you've got Mayor Johnston of Denver out there who's talked
about law enforcement, federal law enforcement as invaders talked about
(00:38):
federal law enforcement now preparing to inflict terror in Colorado
if they dare follow somebody who's committed other crimes here
into a school, etc. So now you have DPS saying
that they're going to defy law enforcement. Let's take one
of the packages on that. How about to cut double
(00:59):
zero C please.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Colorado's schools are preparing for the impact of deportation roundups
as students' parents may disappear between drop off and pick up,
and today the Trump administration approved immigration rates at schools themselves.
A memo out from Denver public schools urges its families
to opt their information out of school directories, which can
(01:24):
be accessed by law enforcement. That same memo says families
should tell the district who can pick up their child
if a parent or guardian cannot. Denver's mayor says the
city is preparing foster care placement for kids whose parents
are rounded up by Ice.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
We will have kids who will lose parents in this process,
and so we have our team and human services ready.
We have foster care placements prepared, We have family reunification efforts.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
They will pursue, but.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
We do know one of the likely outcomes is we
will have a lot of kids. If they follow through
and their promises, we'll be left without parents as expected.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Today, the Trump administration lifted the prohibition on immigran raids
at schools, churches, hospitals, weddings and funerals. They say that's
that people wanted for deportation can't hide out in those places.
Critics like Denver's mayor say this is going to have
a ripple effect. If people don't feel safe getting medical
care or taking their kids to school, you can't.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Have a safe city of people don't trust going to
their own hospitals. You can't have a safety of people
don't believe they can send their kids to school every day.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
If you can't trust you can.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Go worship your own God and your own church. And
so we think those are fundamental rights that should be protected.
If they violate those, we will seek legal action to
trying to stop that.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, the audacity of that man unbelievable, coming out and
talking about public safety, that now this jeopardizes public safety,
that the Trump administration is going to enforce the law.
At Johnston out there talking about these kids are going
to lose their parents because their parents are going to
be deported. Wait a second, when have we ever heard
(02:56):
Mike Johnston out there talking about children who had a
mother when they went to school that morning and now
they don't have a mother when they come home at
night because somebody here illegally.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Driving drunk killed their mother on the roadway. When have
we ever heard.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Mike Johnston talk about that, talk about children who have
lost their parents because of crimes committed by people here illegally.
When has he ever talked about that? I'll tell you when.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Never.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Never, Hey, the public safety, when has he ever talked
about what a threat to public safety.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Some folks here illegally are when they commit other crimes.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
He's never ever talked about that, and then talked about
the ripple effect. But to put all this in terms
of public safety when what he's doing and what he
has done, and what he has encouraged directly, unequivocally, undeniably
undermines public safety by bringing out into our community people
(03:54):
unvetted criminals into our community then commit terrible other crimes.
That's not talking about the typical illegal immigrant, but it's
talking about way too many people who Mike Johnston has
supported letting come into the country and stay into the country.
So talk about truly the obscene audacity of trying to
(04:15):
posture this in terms of public safety. No, there is
a major public safety issue, but it is one hundred
percent on the side of getting rid of the people
who are committing crimes in our community.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
And that is what Trump is focused on.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So if you care about public safety, you'd be supporting Trump.
You wouldn't be out there referring to federal law enforcement
as invaders. So we really have right now probably the
most damaging mayor we've had in Denver in history, right
I mean, I don't claim to be a great historian
(04:52):
on mayors of Denver. I could name, you know, mc
nichols and Payina and Webb and Hick and Looper. But
I can't imagine Denver's ever had a more destructive mayor.
I can't imagine Denver's ever had a more deceptive mayor.
I can't imagine Denver's ever had a more self absorbed mayor.
(05:14):
I can't imagine Denver's ever had a mayor who obviously
cares less about the good of the people of Denver.
If you really cared about the people at Denver, Ryan,
why would you ever, why would you ever just just
jump up and poke the bear and try to make
Denver the number one target for retribution from the Trump administration.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
How does that help the people of Denver.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, I'll tell you how it helps him, because the
more now Johnston's antics caused the Trump administration to prioritize
coming to Denver and deporting people here illegally who have
committed other crimes. Yeah, the better off it is for
the people of Denver in Colorado. I'm not sure that's
what Johnston intended when he said he was going to
(05:57):
send Denver police out to battle, in my word, battle,
but to take on federal law enforcement at the border.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Yeah. I don't think that's what.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Johnston intended, but he certainly has the President's attention as
it should eight five five for zero five A two
five five texts d A N five seven seven three nine.
We're going to mix in text and calls. We still
got a lot of great texts coming in on what
did Baron Trump say to Joe Biden?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It was obviously a few.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Choice words caused Biden to go from smiling to looking
totally devastated. What do you think? Let's go to the
phone line, start with maybe how about Gary in Longmont.
You're on the Dan Kaplis Show.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Welcome Gary, Hey, Dan, good afternoon.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
So I was at the inauguration and regarding the musk,
So he came out with a lot of enthusiasm, making
a lot of gestures, jumping up and down, pumping his fists,
banging his fist on the podium, all kinds of stuff.
So he spoke, you know, he's not a great speaker.
It's only up there for about three and a half minutes.
(07:02):
And when he had the crowd died down, and of
course we're all chatting amongst ourselves between all the speakers,
and there was a woman that was there and she said,
you know, they've come after Trump so hard all this
time and it's never worked, and what else can they do?
She said, I think they're going to start coming after
Musk in the same way. And about five minutes later,
another guy sitting there and he goes, hey, look at this,
(07:24):
and there was an article from NTR on there saying
Musk does Nazi salute. So within ten minutes they had
already had that article and we called it. It was hilarious.
We were all really laughing about that.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Hey man, that's I appreciate the call. Thank you for
that insight. Appreciate the call. But of course, what the
left is doing is a great favorite of Musk. It's
a great favorite of Trump because this is what the
American people voted against, and the American people across party
lines they think are fundamentally fair. I understand different ideological stuff,
(08:01):
but this is so patently ridiculous and unfair. It's just
going to rebound to Musk's benefit. But in some ways,
and in some really significant ways, Musk poses a greater
threat to the secular left right now that runs the
Democratic Party. Then does President Trump. And I know that
(08:22):
sounds absurd, but when you stop and think about it, yeah,
President Trump is the most powerful, respected person in the
world right now. He's going to achieve amazing things over
the course of the next four years, a lot concentrated
into the first two before the midterms. He's going to
do awesome, right And President Trump has created this movement
because of his choice of jd Vance. Maybe Don Junior,
(08:45):
who's leading in one twenty twenty eight poll, Maybe Don
Junior becomes the GOP candidate. So yeah, President Trump has
been historically transformative. Now you take Elon Musk, who's spent
what quarter of a billion or more in this last cycle.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
If all of a sudden Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Starts funding Republican candidates, not just presidential but across America
at very very large levels long term, that is a
profound threat to the left. Profound threat to the left,
which is a beautiful thing, right because the Left is
so horrible for America. Even a state like Colorado, I
mean Colorado was bought. The Democrats came in and with
(09:26):
their blueprint, they were really smart, unfortunately in their own
diabolical kind. Of way, and they spent a lot of money.
They put their money where their mouth is. They spent
it in a very effective way, and Colorado got bought.
And if all of a sudden Elon Musk thinks that
Colorado may be winnable or is worth transforming, and he
puts enough money into Colorado that could certainly turn the tables.
(09:51):
So whether or not he does it in Colorado, I
think he's going to do it a lot of places
nationally and that that is the potential for a long
time to come to alter the dynamic because not only
does Musk then tilt the playing field, which would be
great for America, but then on top of that, once
other billionaire types see that, you know, if they have
(10:11):
conservative leanings, then they see that it can be done
and it you know, it's benefiting Musk, you know, maybe
they go down that road as well. So this Elon
Musk has paved the ground now that that could just
transform politics for a long time to come, in favor
of America and against the hard left.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
You're on the Dame Kaplas Show.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
What would a person have to do to get a
visit from ICE for.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
The being the country illegally. First of all, I mean,
there's nothing in the immigration law says you got to
be convicted of a serious crime to be removed under
the INA. So being the country illegally iceon vis you.
But right now, as we said, repeateding the present Corustman clear,
we're concentrating on the worst. First, the public safety A
thrests and that's the security. And just yesterday, in the
(11:01):
last twenty four hours, ISA rusted over three hundred and
eight three hundred and eight serious criminals. Some of them
were murders, some of them were rapists, some of them
raped the child, some were a sexual sullivant child.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
So IS is doing their job.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
They're prioritizing just as the President said they would. So
the ICE is performing excellent right now on the field,
and they're going to continue every day.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
So think about that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You've got the Trump administration crystal clear, they are pursuing
the worst of the worst. They are pursuing people here
illegally who've committed other serious crimes.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
So what's the.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Response of Denver Public schools? Quote, do not allow ICE
entry into the building. So that's what Denver Public Schools
are instructing their schools, is instructing their schools. If ICE
agents show up on campus, do not allow entry into
the building.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
So how did the.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Left ever get to the point the Democratic Party, now
controlled by the hard left, ever get to the point
point where it is centered around It is centered around
protecting to the point of defying law enforcement, protecting criminals,
protecting people here illegally who've committed other crimes, that's their priority.
(12:16):
And the mass killing of people before birth, in particular
people of color who get killed at a five to
one rate to whites, and none of them should be killed.
So how did we ever get to the point where
one of the two major political parties centers around these
dual axes of protecting criminals, those here illegally who commit
(12:38):
other crimes, and the mass killing of people before birth,
particularly minorities. How did we ever get to this bizarre,
surreal point of madness. Well, what's clear is the American
people are rejecting it overwhelmingly, and now the Left, at
least in Colorado just doubles and triples down, including with
(12:58):
Mayor Johnston out there referring to to federal law enforcement
as invaders and going to commit terror in this state.
If they go into schools to get a criminal out. Wow,
height five for zero five A two five five. If
you've got a theory on how we ever got to
this point, I would love to hear it, because as
a kid, I mean I grew up in a family
(13:20):
of Democrats. I was a registered Democrat when I was
a young man, and unimaginable to me that that party
ever got to this bizarre point. But again, the American
people are not going to keep this in their stomach.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
They are they are vomiting it out. Dan says a Texter.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Let's remind those complaining about Operation Aurora that no one
is above the laws. They like to say, Now, that's
what a great point. So you got the same left
he said, Oh, Trump's got to go to jail, He's
not above the law. To okay, we got like real
criminals who have now come into our school in this
one scenario. But we're not going to get law enforcement
(13:59):
into gain. We're not going to let law enforcement in
that door.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Wow. Well, what a bizarre moment we're living in.
Speaker 10 (14:06):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Well, let yeah, let's squeeze in a couple of calls
here before I've got so many great texts and I
want to get to all of them. Let's go out
to a beautiful, eerie Colorado. Talk to Craig.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
You're on the Dan Caplis Show.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Welcome, Hey, Dan, good to talk, Thanks for taking your talk.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
Hey, I've been I've been watching the I heard the Gentleman,
it was on before your last break talking about the
Nazi salute, and I've been watching this video and I
don't know, I've missed your show the past couple of days.
And I apologize about out of town. But it seems
to me pretty clearly that it was I don't know
it was premeditated, but I think he clearly meant to
(14:46):
do it. You almost hear him say it. Oh when
he raises his hand. I think he's making like a
mockery big fu to the left by doing that.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I really, if you watch it closely.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Is anybody else brought that up?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Interesting?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Nobody has. I'll go back and watch it in more detail.
Ryan was actually their life. Hey, man, appreciate the call,
and that's why we have the podcast when people have
to go out of town.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
But thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
And Ryan, what do you think do you think he
was trying to mock the left.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
I don't know that's a plausible theory, but my feeling
in the arena, we were demonstrating so much warmth and
love for Elon. The only person I think that got
a lot of renovation, with the exception of Donald Trump
obviously was Baron Baron Trump. But people were giving Elon
just showering and with affection and chanting his name, and
I think he just wanted to return that love. He
(15:36):
pounded his chest, like you said, and he was like
giving his heart to the crowd, and he was like
throwing it out there and he turned around into three
sixty did it for the crowd behind him, wanted to
acknowledge them. I think it was more like, yeah, we
did it, we won. This is what victory feels like.
He was kind of that spiking the football moment, is
what I thought. And in real time, Dan, I didn't
(15:56):
see anything that remotely resembled a Nazi salute. If I did,
If I had, I would have said something. The people
around me would have said something. Nobody said that. Nobody
noticed that, nobody saw that. Nobody thought that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah no, and again that the left's just taking themselves
a deeper hole here and you know, a beautiful thing
is I'm sure making Elon more determined to run them
all out of office and to support more conservative candidates.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
So yeah, we'll take more of that.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I am so obsessed with, though, what Baron Trump said
to Joe Biden, And if you missed the video he
leaned in, it was just a few words and Biden
went from smiling to looking immediately utterly devastated. So some
other theories coming in here by text, Danny probably told
Joe Biden, who was going to spend the rest of
his life making Biden's family.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Pay for what he did to his dad.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think it did have something to do with what
Biden had done to his dad and to his mom
and to their family, But I think that would have
been too long conversation to fit what we saw unfold.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I think he said shame on you, But there was
another angle of the exchange. He looks like he might
have said it to Kamala standing next to Biden, shaking
her hand. Either way, shame on both of them, my
take is clearly said to Biden, and then you can
see the look on Biden's face. You can see how
he reacted to that. Dan, I think Baron said stay
(17:26):
out of my mom's underwear drawer. I do think whatever
the words were, it probably you know, my read from
the outside probably stemmed from the horrible abuse of the
family of his parents by Joe Biden, including that raid
on their home which included her his mom's underwear drawer,
including forcing his dad into that show trial talent, trying
(17:48):
to make his dad die in jail. I wonder Ryan,
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the comment had
something to do with what a great father Donald Trump
is and what horrible father Joe Biden has been. I
wouldn't be surprised if it was something like that, just
looking at the reaction of Biden. But leader in the
clubhouse has to be the Texter right who says, hey,
(18:11):
you forgot to pardon yourself. But when we come back,
have the details work forward the letter that Biden left
for President Trump.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
You're on the Dan Kaplass Show.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
We're gonna have so much fun tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
You know, you have to savor moments like this, and
I'm sure you can relate from your own life. You're
probably super busy and it's probably a constant battle, and
then you have this great victory and sometimes you don't
take the time to really savor it. You're just on
to the next challenge. Well, we gotta savor this one.
So tomorrow's show, we're going to relive a bunch of
the greatest hits from Inauguration Day as I enjoy together
(18:54):
some of the primal screams from the Left since then.
And we'll have those primal screams with us now for
years to come. But yeah, we're just going to take
tomorrow and enjoy that. Let's go back to the fall
lines have so many great texts, but I'm just a
throwback man. I've been doing this almost thirty years. I
love the callers too. How about Eric in Denver. You're
(19:15):
on the Dan Kaplas Showy New Year, You great American? Eric,
My lord, how you must have enjoyed Inauguration Day?
Speaker 10 (19:25):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
What?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
How'd you celebrate? How do you savor it? Well?
Speaker 10 (19:31):
I just focused here at home.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Oh you did?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Just just kind of like me with the Super Bowl.
I don't want to be at a party. I want
to hear what they're saying on TV. I want to
watch every play. Is that what you did?
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah? Absolutely good.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
I was good.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Focus man.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
This is for you and Ryan, you great Americans. Here's
here's my dilemma.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
I was telling Kelly, the great producer of yours, it
is time now for us to congress Man to go
after Eric Comer and the Dominium and the smartmatic voting machines.
You know, Zuckerberg is all lovey w Now. He gave
up four hundred million dollars against us during the twenty
(20:16):
twenty era, you know, and I want to know where
than six million other votes that Joe Biden got Eric
and Kamala Harris didn't get in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Eric, Hold on a second. You know how much I
love you. I mean, you are one of my favorite
people in the whole world. I'm not aware of a
shred of evidence that Dominion did anything wrong. So if
you've got evidence, bring it, But I'm not aware of any.
What I am aware of is your tremendous loyalty to Trump,
your enthusiasm, You've been there forever, love your spirit. But
(20:54):
when it comes to Dominion, I've never seen any proof
whatsoever they did anything wrong.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
Yeah, that's what I mean. That's why I want to
you know, if I was part of if I was
part of Congress, I'd be curious as heck. Then you
know where is that dude, that that was based? You know,
at the old spaghetti factory.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But there's still Eric, Eric, there's Eric, there's and I'm
so sorry to interrupt you again, I love you, man.
But there's never been any evidence anywhere that he did
anything wrong.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
Well, I want to know where he's that?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, but what why why he Wait a second, I
mean innocent toil proven, Get it right, I'm not even
I'm not literally aware of a single shred of evidence
that would cause any fair minded person to say anything
negative about him.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
Well that aren't you curious as to you know why
Biden got eighty one million vote?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
No, listen to Eric on wait a second, on that issue,
my friend, on that issue. Yes, And That's what I've
been talking about since election day twenty twenty is that
what America needed and the left did not give it
to America, and the left paid a price for this.
In the end, what America needed was answers to the
(22:16):
good questions Americans had. You know, why did they watch
on election night twenty twenty Trump with big leads and
then all of the sudden, those big leads rapidly go away,
and a lot of Americans had those fair questions. Now,
the answer may very well lie in the massive number
of mail in votes and states that normally didn't do
(22:36):
mail in voting because of COVID, But America deserved well
documented answers to those fair questions.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
America never got those.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Answers, And so as we sit here today, many many,
many Americans are suspicious of what happened in twenty twenty
and Donald Trump. You know, they elected Donald Trump to
office when Donald Trump, unrelenting Lee said that he believed
twenty twenty was stolen. So so I think the Left
did a great disservice to America and really hurt itself
(23:08):
in the end by not having a full subpoena driven,
honest investigation and explanation of the American people. My own
personal belief is that there has not been proof that
election was stolen. I am absolutely thrilled Trumps one, absolutely
thrilled Trump is won, and.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
I'm all for anything now that can.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Support election integrity. We should have zero tolerance for any
level of fraud or mistake whatsoever.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
And that's what stressed me to high heaven, my gud
in heaven. That's what stressed me out that I thought
that they were gonna, you know, give Kamala Harris that
ay to one figure. You know you can figure. That's
why I stressed it out.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
You weren't alone.
Speaker 10 (23:52):
We're going to meet him.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah, go ahead, you weren't alone.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I mean I told the story on air about a
guy I know, probably the most conservative, meaning just in
terms of the way he lives his life, banker, banking
executive from the Midwest, never says anything controversial, and and
he said to me one day, I won't even mention
(24:17):
what state he's from. But he said to me one day,
I'm afraid they're gonna steal it. And I thought, wow,
how fascinating is this gentleman who never says a single
controversial word is sitting there concerned they're going to steal it.
So your concern, my friend, was shared by many. But
all I'm saying is I have never seen a shred
(24:38):
of evidence that Dominion did one single thing wrong, not
one shred.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
Everybody was so afraid to even mention his name, you know, Well,
that's what And then he got all that money, Danny,
and I'm just so upset that he's not just bringing
coming to the table. Hey man, Well but but.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Why wait a second.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I mean, in America, there has to be before somebody
should have to explain themselves, there has to be some
evidence that they've done something wrong. I'm not aware of
any evidence that he did anything wrong.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Now, the fair.
Speaker 10 (25:11):
Question Giuliani and Jenna, the girl, the young girl, the
young girl that was the lawyer for Trump, you know,
nobody what's her name?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Her name?
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Who was l Yes, judge was able and that other
lady I liked her to uh start to the you know,
the other lady that got sued. You know.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And this comes back to what I said earlier, Eric,
Americans have all these fair questions about why Election Night
twenty twenty unfolded in such a different and strange sort
of way, and those questions needed to be answered, and
they never were. That doesn't mean that the answer would
have been the election have stolen, But those questions that
(25:59):
would have to be answered, Yeah, but nobody gave them
a guest.
Speaker 10 (26:02):
The judges just said no.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well and and honestly, and I love you like a brother,
my friend. But I don't understand why we're talking about
all this right now instead of just just savoring this
great victory and looking forward.
Speaker 10 (26:16):
But I know I want I want some I want
some payback.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Brother. Well, but but you got to throw smart punches, right,
not wild punches.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Payback in this sense, right, payback in a sense that
what they mean Trump was so horrible.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
You know, they got away with it well through the mud.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Don't you think Trump has had the ultimate payback here?
And what do you want to see him focused on now,
in the precious time that that he has to go
out and accomplish all these things he will do? You
want to see him focused on payback for it beyond
what he's already achieved, which is biblical in proportion. Do
you do you really want to see his administration spending
(27:03):
all its time trying to go prosecute, you know, people
who did bad things to him, or trying to focus
on accomplishing the stuff they promised to accomplish. I mean,
I think he's already had the ultimate payback.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
I agree, damn. But I would love to see you,
hey man, appreciate it, appreciate you, and that trumps to go.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
After Eric Homer there is no reason to Yeah, thank
you for the call, my friend, I love you. But
I don't get this one because in America, I mean
this guy, what we want to start doing to other
people what they did to Trump? They started with a
man in Donald Trump, and they were going to in
jail because he was going to kick their ass on
election day?
Speaker 5 (27:42):
So are we going to start acting like them?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Are we going to start with the man and say, oh, okay,
that man over there, we don't like him, so we're
going to go out and and we're going to go
after him even though there's not a shred of evidence
that says we should.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
No, we're better than that.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
And now back to the Dan Kampla Show podcast text.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
In fuego as they should be right, let me start
with this one because I don't know how we always
end up in this same place, because because what I've
said since the day after the election twenty twenty was
that loss broke my heart. But I need proof the
election was stolen. I understand the concerns, but this is
(28:23):
an evidence based show, and if we're going to say
an election was stolen, I want to see the proof.
I've never seen the proof that there was enough fraud
to change the outcome of the election.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Somehow, that always.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Translates for a lot of folks into oh, Dan says
there was no fraud. No, there would be a preposterous statement.
I've never said that. I've always said, yeah, I think
there was some fraud, but there wasn't enough to overturn
the election.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
And this just goes to like this text.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
It says, Dan, I just saw John Eastman, Trump's former attorney,
on the Larry Elders Show, and if you were to
have him on your show, you might rethink your frequent
statement that there was no evidence of election fraud in
the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
I've never said that.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
What I've said is I haven't seen proof there was
enough fraud to change the outcome. And the last caller
who was focused on one individual in particular, in one
company in particular, No, The point there is I've never
nobody has ever produced actual proof of any wrongdoing their whatsoever.
(29:26):
So I just don't understand that because it's so contrary, right,
It's so contrary to who we are as Americans, who
we are as conservative Americans, hopefully, who we are as
Americans across party lines, which is innocent till proven guilty,
and people shouldn't have to come forth and defend themselves
(29:46):
unless you can provide proof they've done something wrong. So
the other thing I don't get, I mean, hey, listen,
I do get the focus on election integrity, because, as
I've said forever, long before twenty twenty, there's no doubt
in my mind some people out there who would try
to commit election fraud. I've been telling forever on air
the story of my dad, as a young cop in Chicago,
(30:09):
had you know, extra hours on election day working at
a polling place in Chicago, and he went in and
he checked the voting machines they or machines whatever it
was at that time, but there were already votes cast
for Democrats. And he went to his superiors and brought
that to their attention, and then he got booted out
of the polling place. I've been telling that story forever.
(30:31):
There's no question Daily tried to steal Illinois for Jack
Kennedy in sixth I've talked about that, I've talked about
corruption in Philly. Of course, there was corruption on election
Day twenty twenty. The question is was it enough to
change the outcome?
Speaker 5 (30:44):
And who committed it.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
And the one other thing I'd add, Dan that you
and I totally agree with Messon Pattico on this issue
is the burden of proof, as you know, is on
the accuser. And if you don't bring the receipts, if
you don't have every T cross, every I dotted, then
even though there may have been the fit behavior, and
I believe that there was.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
You've got to be able to prove it in a
court of law.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
And Dan, for whatever reason, they were never granted standing
and that always stood out to me as well.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Well, yeah, and as we talked about from the beginning
of the process. But first, you know, fraud can come
in all different forms, right and I do believe there
was fraud on election Day twenty twenty, but I've never
seen it produced actual evidence that would suggest that the
company or the individual the last caller referred to did
(31:30):
anything wrong whatsoever. Now, did you have other people, individuals
you know, who committed certain acts of fraud in different places?
I think you probably did, but again, never anything close
to proof that it was enough to change the outcome,
even though it would not have taken much. Right now, Ryan,
this goes to your frustration and believe me. I get
that I've spoken about it on air since twenty twenty,
(31:52):
which is that our legal system is not set up
to be able to have full discovery and full hearings
and trials in the short period of time between election
day and January sixth, when everything gets certified.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
The system isn't set up for that.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
And the legal system, you know, disfavors resolving elections through
the law. I know people think of Bush vigor in
twenty twenty, but disfavors that, And so those who are
trying to use the legal system to investigate and then challenge.
You could have had the very best lawyers ever born,
and there probably wasn't going to be an effective way
(32:34):
to do that in the short period of time between
election day and January sixth. They just the way the
legal systems set up. But that's where I always came
back to. You know that the Democratic Party, which controlled
the levels of power, they owed it to America to
have a full, fair, subpoena driven bipartisan investigation conducted to
(32:57):
answer the questions the American people had about what they
saw on election night twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Now, in the.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
End, my heart of hearts, do I believe that if
that had been done, it would have shown the election
was stolen. No, I think it would have shown that
the president lost a very close race because of COVID
and because you had rules changed in a bunch of
states that allowed mass mail in voting where you normally
didn't have it before. That's what I think it would
(33:23):
have shown. But because the Democrats blocked that kind of investigation,
you've got many, many Americans who still to this day
have doubts about election integrity and just overwhelmingly elected and
thank god they did President Trump, who openly says twenty
twenty was stolen. So yeah, there's a very very righteous
(33:46):
concern in this country about election integrity, but that doesn't
equal proof that twenty twenty was stolen. That's all I'm saying,
And I hope we can look forward now. Thank god
Trump was elected. There are all these great elects election
integrity efforts going on around the country. I think they
paid dividends in this cycle. Real hard work being done
(34:07):
in state legislators, legislatures, real hard work being done in courtrooms,
and it's important work that has to continue relentlessly. Anyway, Sorry,
we ran out of time to get to all these
other texts that are coming in today. We're going to
have a blast tomorrow replaying some of the greatest hits
from Inauguration Day, the primal Screams from the Left, which
(34:30):
will go on now for years, and we'll enjoy each
and every day. Ryan, thanks for your great work as always, Kelly,
hope you have a wonderful evening as the human sunshine
that you are, and please join us tomorrow at four
on the dan Caplay Show.
