Yeah.

Yeah, sometimes you just have to enjoy the fruits of your victory, right.

Yeah.

We fight for truth justice in the American way every day, lots of different ways, but sometimes you just have to savor the w's And I think this is one of these days. I mean, you know, we'll have some other stuff to talk about, but we.

Can't just drive past so fast.

You know, the monumental event, you can't even call it a speech, right, It was a monumental political undressing, a monumental political triumph that President Trump had on Tuesday night. Plus it's just so much fun and there's more to talk about there, so we'll continue to enjoy that and talk about, you know, the importance of it going forward. And then we also have to enjoy the hearing yesterday with Lawless Mike and some of these other sanctuary city mayors.

You know, you've already won.

The battles, so you just have to enjoy as the layers start to unravel. So we're going to play some more sound from that hearing on the Hill yesterday, So enjoy that.

And then but I want to open with the.

Latest piece of evidence that just proves true what we talked about all summer leading up to election day, when the constant messaging here was, Hey, just relax, enjoy this.

Trump's got it. He's going to win.

There's no way America's electing Kamala Harris. And one big reason for that is the absolutely brilliant Trump ad that Elon Musk funded over one hundred million dollars worth, which decidedly tipped the scales in his favor, which just said, no, no, this is goofy lunacy. You know, no men in women's bathrooms or showers or sports that this is insanity and it's got hand. And so we have seen I think the first top tier capitulation on that, in the form

Now?

Newsom himself is politically uncourageous. He would have been courageous to have taken this position a couple of years ago, mildly courageous to have taken it before election day, right now that this is just survival, right, this is just trying to find a lifeboat and survive. And Gavin Newsom's surrendering on this how fast? Now do you see Polis, do you see Bennett? Do you see hicken looperor do you see others?

And so the issue of fairness is completely legit. And I saw that the last couple of years. Boy did I saw how you guys were able to weaponize that.

Issue another weaponized?

Don't that's well Webinar's maybe the jority of you're right, but you were able to shine a light on highlight it in a way that frankly, there are not that many we're talking about I think N two a what five hundred and ten thousand?

But no, no, but I just didn't realize.

It's eight hundred ninety medals in trophies that we know of in the last five years.

That's a lot.

No, So I'm going to let me step back say completely fair on the issue of fairness. I completely agree. So that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's also a humility and a grace. You know that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression and the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with as well. So both things I can

So Newsome concedes this is unfair, right, and that is a major concession. Yeah, he's trying to walk the fence everything else, and that's how these people end up castrated, right, because they just try to straddle the fence that that

Will there be any holdouts?

So I'd love to get your taken that you can text as DN five seven seven three nine. Will Bennett be the first? Okay Bennett in Colorado? Because Bennett now eyeing the governor's office reportedly no official announcement, Polis clearly trying to eye the presidency. Who will be first? Will it be Polis? Who would be very wise? And this is where this is where his lack of political courage is really hurt him, right, because Polis could have broken

And I'm not saying Bennett's been thumbed.

He's sitting in the US Senate right, but he's been a complete non factor in the US Senate.

I think everybody would have to acknowledge that.

Even Kyle referred to him as what the Cicada of criticism or something.

Yeah, Cata of the Senate, because every thirteen years he comes around and says something.

And guess what, if you are blessed to be handed one of the most powerful and important positions in the world, you never wantn't you're nickname to be cicada or phantom or ghost?

Right right? So no, but it's common. It's common.

I love these tipping points, especially when they're tipping the right way, and it's what we've expected for a long time for obvious reason, because the other side on these issues is absolutely crazy. And yeah eight f five zero five eight two five five takes d an five seven seven three nine.

So as Bill Murray says, we got that going for us, Dan.

Do you think Newsom really cares or plays a political card? One thousand percent political for him? There's I don't think anybody can look at Gavin Newsom and if any idea what he truly cares about, right, And the good thing is everybody gets that. Everybody gets that. Uh, this one's too long.

I would have enjoyed that if it was shorter. All right, let's do this. Let's get you some of this because.

Much of the show is going to be this really really fun sound today, a lot of which we didn't have time for yesterday, and some.

Of it we just wanted to enjoy. We just want to enjoy some more.

Let's start for those like me who care deeply about Colorado. Let's start with Congresswoman Bobert and a series of bites as she questioned lawless Mike yesterday.

Thank you, mister Chairman, Mayor Mike Johnson. I hope we can start off on a level field.

Of agreement here. So in your.

Testimony, you said that locals were asking Denver, what will you do when they saw ten to eleven buses coming in a day and forty two thousand illegal aliens entering

End quote. I've demanded Governor Jared.

Poulis and the Colorado State legislature to repeal them. Douglas County has led on a lawsuit to get those laws repealed.

What a brilliant way to start. I'm so impressed with how prepared she was. And then she drops the hammer.

So, mister mayor, would you join me today and calling and demanding that these sanctuary policies, these Colorado state laws be repealed.

Thank you, Congresswoman bless or.

No, mister mayor, yes or no? Will you join me?

I do not believe the detaieral on needs to be changed, so I can.

Oh, that is so beautiful.

What a brilliant start, because Congressman's absolutely right, he's been hiding behind that. Hey, that's all the state. I'm bound by state law. What a brilliant place to start, because now far beyond yesterday, you know, he owns it.

He own it.

No, he wants this to be the state of the law, which puts him in a bit of a pickle because it's completely undefensible and it's getting innocent people raped and killed. So brilliant start by Congressome and Bolbert. We'll have more of that.

We'll have Gabe Evans questioning Lawless.

Mike and Jim Jordan had a really important riff as well, and then we'll bring back some of the great Trump highlights from that event.

Can't even call it a speech.

That event that beat down at transformational evening on Tuesday night.

You're on the Dan Capla Show.

And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.

Because of the second item that we're going to display here, which is the standard FBI fingerprint card, something that I filled out for over a decade when I was a police officer, which has those items as mandatory fields, location

See this is absolutely brilliant, right, because what Johnston and other lefties try to do is they try to say, hey, wait, crime is down in the city since.

The quote newcomers arrived.

Well, first of all, I think they're wrong about that, and they're manipulating statistics. But let's say for a second they were right. Totally completely irrelevant. What's relevant is how many crimes are being committed by people who.

Should not be here.

That's what's relevant, because no elected official can look a victim or a victim survivor in the eye and justify a crime committed by somebody who should not be here. So Gabe Evans has zeroed in on what really matters and what he has just uncovered, and you'll hear the rest of it is that, yes, of course, Johnston, Polis.

All the other lefties in Colorado.

Are covering up that key piece of information, how many crimes are being committed by people here illegally because they don't want you to know the truth. If you knew the truth, you would throw them out of office. That's what's going on here. So great job by Gabe Evans. Here's the rest of it.

Thank you.

Congressman.

Right now, under city ordinance, we do not ask someone status a point of contact, and that does not prejudice in any way our prosecution.

We believe it doesn't matters.

We're saying from thank you, mister crime.

So you're not aggressively redless.

So you're not filling out the FBI fingerprint card is required right now.

We are filling out information when folks arrive, and none of that information prevents us from prosecuting them to the full extent of the law, which is.

What we do.

Thank you, mister mayor.

So not filling out the FBI fingerprint card, which would directly contradict your statement that you want people who are illegally present in the country and committing crimes to be held to account for those crimes, and I.

Dropped the mic. That's absolutely brilliant. It proves the case. If we were in a court of law right now, Johnston would lose because Gabe Emans has proven Johnston is guilty of that.

He's a total phony, a total lie.

When he says that he wants to make sure that people here illegally you commit other crimes, are deported, he's lying about that because if he was telling the truth. Then he would lead the charge to have Denver police and other officials record the immigration status of those arrested for serious crimes.

So this was absolutely brilliant by Gabe Evans.

I think that the statistics that we've gone through in the space of crime show why Denver is specifically cratering in their public safety statistics as compared to major cities around the country.

Actually false.

I can show you my statistics, and as a police officer, I am here to make sure that we are uplifting the voices of the victims of these crimes who are being taken advantage of in communities that provide sanctuary to dangerous illegal criminal gangs like Trendy Argua, which your jail release just last week we talked about somebody back into the community. We must take care of our victims. I've

That is absolutely brilliant.

And you know, one of the really cool things here is not only did we have a lot Republicans win and most critically gave in that very close race up there that was critical to control of the House. But they're really talented, they're different difference makers, they're effective, effective, and that's obviously great for America, but it's also great for the GOP in Colorado because you're electing impressive, effective people. That's going to help me get reelected. But obviously it's

And so so a beautiful job there by Gabe.

Now Gabe and that questioning have referred to this terrible position law enforcement. In this case, Ice was put in of having to chase this TDA gang member through a parking lot because Mayor Johnston in Denver, not our great Denver police.

This is out of their hands. This is the left wing politicos.

What would not sensibly cooperate with Ice to take a TDA member off the streets.

I said to wait outside in the.

Parking lot of the facility to get this guy as he came out, which obviously dramatically increases the risk to law enforcement. But it's just another just another way we can see that that clearly these lefties do not care about the great men and women in blue. And I know that's not breaking news, but it's worth remembering on a regular basis because one of these days the g and it might be in this cycle the GOP is going to have a shot at winning statewide a big race.

When we come back, I want to talk.

About some things that excite me, hopefully we'll excite you, but some very real, practical paths to victory here. I'm not saying it's easy. I'm not saying it's slammed dunk. It wouldn't be any fun if it was easy and slam dunk. But you know, the American Revolutionary War wasn't exactly easy. Wasn't slam dunk. What were the Vegas odds on that one?

Do you remember?

Right?

You can call it pretty poor? Washington sprung a big upset.

Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to remember where Vegas had that. Oh yeah, Vegas wasn't there yet. But if they were there, they would have had the Patriots at what maybe ten to one against one hundred to one against. But there is a path. It's real it's concrete, it's creative, and when we come back, want to run if five, I see what you'd think.

You're on the Dankapla show.

You're listening to the dan Kaplis Show podcast.

And as they have decided to go after immigrants and these and things like that, and they said, oh, they've taken your black jobs.

They'd taken you black jobs.

Not really, they are obviously jobs that they want us to go back to, such as work in the fields. All right, those immigrants that come into our country, they work the fields, something that we ain't done in a long time. And clearly he is trying to make us go back to the fields.

I love it when Democrats talk like that, right, I mean, it just keeps getting better because we got to understand something.

This is gravity. There is only so much. It's a lot, and.

It's a lot more than we've done, but there's only so much we can do as conservatives to convert people to our costs. And the reason for that is because in it I was a Democrat for years, so I know of what I speak. The reason for that is there is such a deep, thick layer of just anti Republican stereotype out there that no matter how much we do for some humans, we will never be able to cut all the way through that wall. The Democrats are

A certain group and it's not a small one where only.

The Democrats can cut through that wall for us, and so many of them are doing that for us. And so now part of it is you just have to sit back and enjoy this moment where Trump has broken their brains, They've been exposed, and now they're just floundering and doing crazy stuff like that because right Ryan, you've got the big money on the left, You've got their hardcore lefty constituents saying do something. You got to do something,

Well, that would qualify what you just heard as a dumb punch, because I want to ask the fundamental question of you, Dan, why is it okay for illegals to come into this country and work in the fields. But that's beneath African Americans to work in the fields. But it's okay for illegals to be here work in the fields, do it for subpar wages, undercut the wages of legal Americans.

Well, right, great point because listen, we all know what's going on, right, And it leads to another critical point about Mike Johnston. And what's going on is the Democrats don't give a darn about these folks south of the border.

They view them as political pawns, as future votes. So they just use this magnet to.

Suck everybody up through the border, knowing before Trump got elected there's going to be a huge number of folks who are coming in unvetted with serious criminal histories, in addition to a very large number of people who are otherwise good people. But the Democrats just don't care about the humanity of the people they're attracting up through the border.

He'd be leading the charge. Here's why, because a.

Lot of the victims of people here illegally you are committing other crimes, are people here illegally.

So if Mike Johnston really gave a.

Darn about the people here illegally who are not committing crimes, he would be working with us to hammer those who are.

But not for them and the laft.

All they see these people as is numbers, as future votes.

And you don't need any more proof than that.

Bill Hick and Luper and Vented are pushing right that says ICE can't detain any buddy here illegally at a polling place.

And it's further down the road of the ugliness. That is an ugly remark you just.

Heard from Representative Jasmine Crockett Dan because it says the quiet part out loud. They want to create a permanent underclass dependent on the government, scared out of their minds, working for cut rate wages, which undermines the very union workers and organized labor that the Left pretends to endorse.

And they're doing it.

Again in a way that does not respect the dignity, the humanity of those coming across our border illegally.

They just view them, like you said, as a number.

Well, whatever Democrat understands, including Representative Crocket, is that the very existence and survival of the Left is dependent upon keeping Black Americans down economically, and keeping Brown Americans down economically because they know, and keeping some other Americans down economically, because the left knows that as soon as people start making and I think the current number is probably close to seventy thousand, seventy thousand or more, a majority are

Line is going to continue.

You know, a few bumps down there, but this trend line is going to continue, and the Democrats are going to continue to get shrunken and marginalized and Conservatism growing because the big tipping point, and you can see they're scared to death of it now. Right on the left, the big tipping point is going to be with people of color, when more and more folks just understand what the left is really doing to them.

And the combination, Ryan, I think this is so critical.

It's a combination not only of that, but but also of the GOP being more appealing. And let me throw this out there for folks to shoot at. I don't think the GOP in my entire lifetime.

Has ever been a fraction a fraction as strong as it is right now.

I think there is ten times more really appealing elite talent in the GOP than we have ever seen in my lifetime before. And I think Trump deserves an awful lot of that credit. But when have we ever seen this? Right? And we get a little tunnel vision and we get zoomed in on the bench, the presidential bench, right, and that's the biggest bench we've ever seen in our lifetimes. And when we talk about diversity, I'm not talking about

It's combined with the Democrats just kind of imploding and screwing.

People at color I mean, they are their own worst enemies, and Jazz and Crockett just proved that once again. But it's a miracle, nothing short of it, Dan, that we have a four and four House delegation from Colorado in the Congress with Gabe Evans and Jeff Hurd and Jeff Crank and Lauren Bobert. And further to your point, even back in the eighties, the Helsionic days, for most of us that started following politics as gen xers in the Reagan years.

He never had unified government.

He never had a Republican Congress, of the Republican House and a Republican Senate. He had to kind of make deals with Tip O'Neil and Democrat controlled House. The fact that the Republicans currently hold all three of those, the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and continuing down this road, That's why I hope so much, Dan, that over these next two years that Trump can have just a wave of successes that will bolster his argument of holding on to power in the United States government.

And nothing's guarantee guarantee, but I think that's almost guaranteed at this point, right. I mean, everybody's nervous about the terrorists and the market and the this and the that. That there is every reason to trust Trump on this right based on the first term, and I think he has thought much more deeply about this than most people. But he's willing to do more, to do more dramatically,

How do you think that's going to go?

You're on the Dan.

Capla Show, No impact traffic.

And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

Media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.

One of the great.

Lines of the right because it's.

It's so obviously true, and it's so important, and it just exposes the Democrats as the liars they are, and which ties into and Ryan. I don't know if anybody has any interest in this whatsoever, which is really intriguing to me, because every time we try to talk about the Colorado governor's race that's on right now, nobody's interested. Nobody's interested, and it wasn't that way in the past.

I'd love to get somebody's take on this.

And why do you think at this point there appears to be so little interest in the governor's race?

Is it too far away? Do people just think, hey, some Democrats going to win? So why bother?

What do you think it is well for our audience? For me, we don't have a Republican nominee, do we or a candidate that's declared a Republican.

I thought I thought Scott Bottoms had declared you're correct.

Okay, Scott Bob, that is one you are correct, sir, I know.

But on the left even I mean Phil none the wiser, I trademarked the name that was mine and no, it's Michael Bennett's totally mine.

One D called that since he went to pre K.

So, Michael Bennett. You think Jenna Griswold will run?

Right?

Has she declared? Has she gotten out in public?

But she's in?

Why?

I mean, there's just no way she could. Anybody that would give a.

Doptions, there's no way she can win family if you've ever heard of identity politics. I mean, that's what the Democrats are all about. They're the opposite of doctor King. It's not about merit, it's about identity politics.

She is so unqualified.

But if you're the Democratic Party, look at it, right, because right now they're they're flailing because they're getting exposed, right, and so they're so high and mighty DEI all that, and almost all the top jobs are boring old white guys. So you know you isn't a boring ol whica. You and I both agree, right, if he runs, it's his I think he's the most formidable candidate. Yeah, so I don't think. But what a great question.

You see.

I don't think Bennett makes this noise about getting in unless he thinks Goose is not, or maybe it's designed to just force no Goose's hand box him out, or to force his hand, because I think everybody acknowledges if Joan no Goose gets in on the dem side, hes he's almost certain to be the nominee.

Right.

What about the criss cross effect here?

Though maybe they are in cahoots Bennett and a Goose meaning Bennett runs for governor.

And oh, by the way, Joan A. Goose slides into that Senate seat.

It challenges Hick and Looper in a primary.

No, Bennett's seat, Bennet woul happen?

Well, right, Panda, the seat, wouldn't he No, right, Well, that's a great question, but he wouldn't have to Oh yeah, nothing there now?

Why them?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Why should he?

But I mean it's a good question as to whether he would or not. Right, But you could see where the play there might be because if my mask's right, Bennett's up in twenty eight, right, So we're talking about the twenty six governor's race. So Bennett stays in the Senate through the campaign, and then if he wins, hicken Looper appoints himself to that Senate seat and serves out the last two years, appoint pol Us appoints did I say, Hick and they're all the same. Yeah, and they're starting

Yeah, right, I mean anyway that it's very clear we're the only two people who care at all about that.

I'm at least somewhat, but nobody has any interest in the governor's race.

You decline something, Yeah, oh, thank you very much.

Let's see, it's interesting we're starting to get some texts that are anti Justice Barrett, right, because I know, we just had this very surprising Scotus decision where Justice Barrett went against most of the other Conservatives and said that a federal court judge, trial court level.

Judge, and you know that's a very very big deal in any.

System, including the federal system, upheld that judge in forcing Trump to issue two billion dollars in foreign aid payments.

That was a very surprising ruling.

And so I know that any MacArthur who just knows the Supreme Court inside and out thought for sure it was going the other way. Obviously, Justice Alito was apoplectic over it in his dissent, and so we're starting to get a bunch of those texts. Now, what I would suggest is, don't give up. Don't give up confidence in Justice Barrett, hoping Justice Barrett, I think it's one of

I think they were upset about that decision.

Yeah, trying to remember Barrett was there, Kagan was there, Chief was there, The retired Justice Anthony Kennedy was there.

It was interesting, right, and the Chief John Robins was there.

That was that it.

But I was wondering that night, why are there only four?

And then the next morning it became clear because this very surprising ruling against Trump was coming down, and I think I think Justice Gorsich was not there the.

Other night, et cetera.

Kavanaugh was there here, right, right, I think you had some justices who just, you know, does it surprise you?

And it does me that Amy Cony Barrett is becoming more of a problem than we even thought Brett Kavanaugh.

Was going to be.

Well, Listen, I don't want to say problem right because I get it. All I'm saying is I admire her in some many different ways. I think she's a brilliant legal mind. I think she's a very courageous originalist jurist, and so I don't read some of these opinions where I would have gone the other way as somehow alarming

Is the world changing
